BREAKING: Nate Geraci Predicts XRP and Cardano ETF Greenlights in 60 Days—Here’s Why It Matters

Crypto's regulatory ice age may be thawing—fast. ETF Store president Nate Geraci just dropped a bombshell prediction: XRP and Cardano ETFs could get SEC approval within two months. We're talking about two of the most contentious altcoins finally getting Wall Street's stamp of approval.

Why this changes everything

Forget moonboys screaming 'wen ETF?'—this is institutional validation on steroids. An XRP ETF would legitimize Ripple's years-long courtroom saga, while a Cardano play gives academic darling Charles Hoskinson his Wall Street debut. The kicker? These would be the first non-Bitcoin, non-Ethereum crypto ETFs to clear regulatory hell.

The cynical take

Let's be real—the SEC only approves products they can't strangle in court anymore. After losing to Grayscale and Ripple, Gensler's crew might finally be out of roadblocks. Funny how regulatory 'clarity' appears when lawsuits start costing more than political posturing.

Market tremors ahead

Traders are already front-running the news—XRP volumes spiked 40% after Geraci's tweetstorm. Cardano's ADA isn't far behind. If these ETFs land, expect a liquidity tsunami as boomer capital meets crypto's most battle-tested alts. Just don't expect the SEC to admit they were wrong.

TLDR

• XRP and Cardano ETFs could be approved in the next two months under new SEC rules.

• Institutional demand for crypto ETFs is increasing, with $26 billion in inflows this year.

• Geraci predicts a “floodgate” of new crypto ETFs once SEC rules are implemented.

• Polymarket predicts 79% chance of XRP ETF approval by the end of 2025.

Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management, has provided an updated timeline for the approval of XRP and Cardano ETFs. His projection comes at a time when expectations for the launch of new altcoin ETFs are high. According to Geraci, the approval of XRP and Cardano ETFs is closely tied to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finalizing its new generic listing standards for crypto ETFs.

The three major US exchanges—NYSE, Nasdaq, and CBOE—have all submitted applications to the SEC for the listing of crypto ETFs. These exchanges are working towards a standardized framework for listing specific crypto ETFs, which will streamline the approval process. Geraci believes that the SEC will approve a wave of new crypto ETFs, including XRP and Cardano, once it implements these updated rules.

Surge in Crypto ETF Demand

The increasing demand for crypto ETFs is evident in the recent surge in inflows into existing products. As of 2025, crypto ETFs have recorded over $26 billion in inflows. A significant portion of this came from Bitcoin and ethereum spot ETFs, with $19 billion directed towards Bitcoin and $7 billion towards Ethereum.

Geraci believes this surge in demand is fueled by the regulatory clarity provided by recent legislative efforts, including the GENIUS Act and the CLARITY Act.

Geraci’s outlook is bolstered by the SEC’s launch of Project Crypto, which aims to modernize the regulatory framework for digital finance. With the implementation of these policies, the market is expected to see further growth in the adoption of crypto products, including ETFs.

Polymarket Predictions for XRP and Cardano ETFs

According to Polymarket, the likelihood of XRP and cardano ETFs being approved by the SEC is high. The prediction site estimates a 79% chance of XRP ETFs being approved before December 31, 2025, up from 66% in early August.

Similarly, the chances of a Cardano spot ETF in 2025 are 85%, a significant increase from 63% the previous week.

These high probabilities reflect the growing institutional interest in these altcoins, as well as the favorable regulatory environment. Geraci predicts that once the SEC finalizes its new listing framework, a “floodgate” of new crypto ETFs will open, leading to a significant increase in the number of altcoins available for investment via ETFs.

XRP ETFs to Outperform Ethereum ETFs?

Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, has stated that XRP ETFs could outperform Ethereum ETFs when they are launched. McClurg highlighted three main factors: the yield structure, XRP’s market dominance in payments, and the strength of its community. Unlike Ethereum, where holders can earn staking rewards directly, XRP investors do not face such a trade-off.

McClurg’s views are shared by other analysts who believe XRP’s appeal lies in its utility for financial institutions and its potential for adoption as a payment mechanism. With Ripple’s ongoing legal victory over the SEC, the path is clearing for XRP-based financial products to gain traction.

However, while XRP’s prospects appear bright, BlackRock, the largest asset management company, has been slow to enter the XRP ETF space. BlackRock has focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, citing limited demand for products based on other cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana. This cautious approach may delay XRP’s entry into mainstream ETFs, but the eventual approval of XRP ETFs could still have a profound impact on the market.
