In a significant development for the cryptocurrency industry, Canary Capital has filed an S-1 Registration Statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Eleanor Terrett, a Fox Business journalist, shared the exciting news on X, and this move represents a strategic step by Canary Capital, a recently established crypto investment firm spearheaded by Steven McClurg, the founder of Valkyrie Funds.
Details and Significance of the Filing
The S-1 Registration Statement was submitted by Steven McClurg on behalf of Canary Capital Group LLC, located in Nashville, Tennessee. This filing arrives in the wake of the SEC’s recent appeal against the ruling on its lawsuit against Ripple, the company behind XRP. The legal battle has been closely monitored by the cryptocurrency community, given its potential implications for the regulatory landscape of digital assets.
Despite the potential renewal of legal proceedings, many in the community see the filing of the XRP ETF by Canary Capital as a positive signal. It affirms a broader trend toward acceptance and integration of cryptocurrencies within traditional financial markets.
The move also comes shortly after a similar filing by Bitwise, another prominent player in the crypto investment space, further indicating growing institutional interest in XRP.

Industry Reactions
Terrett shared comments from a spokesperson for Canary Capital. The spokesperson conveyed optimism about the regulatory environment, saying, “We’re seeing encouraging signs of a more progressive regulatory environment coupled with growing demand from investors for sophisticated access to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.”
This sentiment reflects a broader industry perspective that anticipates a more favorable regulatory framework for the upcoming administration that could foster innovation and investment in digital assets.
Although Donald Trump is the pro-crypto candidate, Kamala Harris has shown a softer stance, and the community expects the SEC to ease up when the new administration takes over.
Implications for Investors
Introducing XRP ETF could provide investors with a new, regulated avenue to gain exposure to XRP.
ETFs are popular investment instruments that offer liquidity, transparency, and ease of access, making them an attractive option for both retail and institutional investors.
Launching an XRP ETF could broaden the market for XRP, potentially driving its adoption and liquidity.
Notably, the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in January contributed to its rise to a new all-time high a few months later, and the community is excited at the prospect of XRP performing similarly when ETFs are approved.
