A recent update shared by crypto commentator JackTheRippler has shifted attention to a new filing from investment giant T. Rowe Price with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
According to the document shown, the firm submitted a Form S-1 registration statement on October 22, 2025, for a proposed “T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF.” The filing indicates the ETF would be sponsored by T. Rowe Price Sponsor LLC and appear under the Securities Act of 1933.
The development is being discussed within the crypto sector as a notable instance of a major traditional finance player taking a formal regulatory step toward digital asset exposure, reportedly including XRP among its holdings.
Community Reaction and Market Interpretation
In the hours following the report, several users on X commented on the significance of the filing. One observer highlighted that traditional finance institutions increasingly appear to be entering the digital asset space, calling it a quiet but steady shift of capital and attention.
Another described the move as a pivotal moment for institutional engagement with XRP, suggesting it could represent the beginning of more direct participation from large-scale asset managers.
The general tone across these reactions centered on the expectation that a regulated, actively managed ETF backed by a firm of T. Rowe Price’s stature could signal expanding recognition of digital assets within established investment frameworks.

Understanding the Filing’s Implications
The filing of a Form S-1 marks the preliminary stage of the registration process for an exchange-traded fund. It signals intent, but has not yet been approved to operate or list the product on an exchange.
Details such as the ETF’s exact composition, weighing of assets, and management strategy are expected to become clearer in subsequent filings or amendments.
The appearance of XRP in connection with the proposed ETF remains based on community interpretation of the report shared by JackTheRippler and other commentators, as the SEC has not yet published the full filing contents for public inspection.
Institutional Implication
If the filing proceeds as described, T. Rowe Price would become one of the most prominent global asset managers to register an active cryptocurrency ETF with exposure to XRP.
The firm’s $1.68 trillion in assets under management underscores the scale of potential market impact should the fund advance through regulatory review and receive listing approval.
Whether this marks a single initiative or part of a wider institutional trend will depend on additional disclosures and the SEC’s response to the registration.
