Another Spot XRP ETF Application Submitted to the SEC

Bitcoin and Ethereum resumed their upward movement yesterday, following the overall positive trends observed in the U.S. stock market.Today, news emerged that the SEC has accepted another application for a spot XRP ETF, submitted by WisdomTree. This is undoubtedly a significant development. WisdomTree is a respected player in the ETF sector, and its application for a spot XRP ETF could have a substantial impact on the cryptocurrency market. In particular, it could provide institutional investors with a more convenient and regulated way to access XRP, potentially increasing demand and liquidity.

However, it is important to remember that the SEC's review of an application is just the first step. The approval process can be lengthy and uncertain. The SEC thoroughly examines each spot crypto ETF application, considering factors such as investor protection, market manipulation, and regulatory compliance. Previous attempts to secure approval for spot ETFs on other cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, have faced significant hurdles.

It is also worth noting that just yesterday, the SEC accepted an application from Bitwise for review.

Against this backdrop, whales continue to buy XRP during every possible correction. Betting markets on Polymarket indicate a 78% probability that an XRP ETF will be approved in 2025. This trend reflects the confidence of large investors in XRP's long-term potential, despite the current market volatility and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Ripple. The aggressive accumulation of XRP by whales during market corrections highlights their strategic approach and possibly even insider knowledge about upcoming regulatory changes or technological advancements.

The high probability of XRP ETF approval in 2025 serves as an additional factor driving whale purchases. If approved, the ETF will grant broader institutional access to XRP, which could positively impact its price.

Expectations of ETF approval, coupled with Ripple's continued efforts to develop its ecosystem and strengthen partnerships, are shaping a favorable investment climate for XRP.

If Bitcoin declines, support is expected at $96,200. A drop below this level could send BTC quickly down to $95,100, with $93,900 following closely behind. The most extended downward target is $92,700.
