Rising Anticipation for Spot XRP ETFs
Investors have closely monitored regulatory progress after the successful launches of spot XRP ETFs in Brazil and Canada earlier in 2025. Both regions saw strong performance, with 3iQ’s XRP ETF in Canada surpassing $50 million in client assets in the first month. This remarkable performance has added to optimism that U.S. approval could bring a new phase of growth for XRP.
Unlike other investment products, a spot ETF enables investors direct exposure to the underlying asset, and many believe this could attract institutional interest that has been slower to enter.
ETF Decision Dates in October
The schedule for ETF issuers highlights just how concentrated this period has become. According to the post shared by CryptoSensei, Grayscale is first in line with a decision date of October 18, 2025.
Following closely, 21Shares will face its review on October 19, with Bitwise on October 20. Canary Capital is listed for October 23, while WisdomTree is set for October 24. The month closes with Franklin Templeton and CoinShares scheduled for October 25.
The New Standards for ETF Approval
The SEC has already approved listing standards that shorten review periods for digital asset ETFs, and these new Generic Listing Standards paved the way for Grayscale to launch its Grayscale Digital Large Cap Fund (GDLC), which includes XRP, as an ETF.

In addition, decision dates for multiple XRP ETF filings now fall within a concentrated window in October. The timing has amplified expectations within the community that more of these products could gain approval.
Potential Impact on XRP
Market participants expect that if the SEC allows a spot XRP ETF, it would provide legitimacy in the eyes of traditional finance and make the asset more accessible to investors who prefer regulated products. While XRP is an attractive asset to institutions and has been available on major exchanges for years, institutional capital has generally required structured vehicles, such as ETFs, to participate at scale.
The experience in Brazil and Canada serves as an example of how investor demand can materialize quickly once such products are available. Approval in the U.S., with its far larger capital markets, could multiply the positive effects.
