KEY POINTS

  • The SEC tacitly approved the funds over the weekend, triggering talks within the $XRP community
  • Spot ETFs hold real $XRP, while futures only bet on the token's price action
  • $XRP is up 4.7% in the day, seemingly reacting positively to the news

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved the public launch date of ProShares' new XRP futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this week, joining Teucrium after the Vermont-based asset manager launched the first XRP ETF in the U.S. market earlier this month.
