KEY POINTS

  • The investment firm noted how the XRP Ledger is a standout in the blockchain space due to its primary function of 'transactional utility'
  • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse re-posted a report on the development, indicating the filing could be more significant than others
  • Bloomberg's James Seyffart said the SEC delays are expected since the new Chair hasn't been confirmed yet

Franklin Templeton, a leading global investment company, has filed an S-1 document with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to issue an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) just as news emerged that the financial regulator delayed its decision on approving or denying applications for other crypto ETFs.
