Other firms pioneered the move with the 21Shares XRP Fund among the latest filed with the US SEC. With the statement filing in Delaware, WisdomTree is bound to file S-1 registration at some point as Terrett remarked.

The interest in XRP ETF filing intensified amid indications of a change in US President post-elections. The expectations of improved regulations for the industry has fueled asset managers’ quest for crypto ETF products.

Fate of Crypto ETFs Wit US SEC

With the bout of crypto ETF applications with the US SEC, industry stakeholders are concerned about the prospect of the product in the nation.

Meanwhile, Coingape reported last week that the market regulator have an active engagement with Solana ETF applicants. The update at the time hinted at a collaborative exploration of S1-statements with exchanges likely to file 19b-4 soon.

Industry commenters believe the Donald Trump victory in the US Presidential elections have loosened the tight bands toward crypto ETFs. While official statements regarding this positive twist to crypto ETF remain unofficial, many anticipates approvals with the coming resignation of Gary Gensler for a pro-crypto US SEC Chairman.
