The digital asset market is preparing for a defining moment as multiple XRP spot ETF applications near their final deadlines with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Crypto proponent John Squire highlighted the approaching timeline, drawing attention to October as a critical month for XRP’s potential entry into mainstream financial products. With some of the largest asset managers and crypto firms lined up, expectations are rising over how these decisions could shape the trajectory of XRP in the months ahead.

October Deadlines for Major Filings
According to the timeline shared, several leading issuers have pending XRP spot ETF applications with the SEC, with October packed with final decision dates. Grayscale’s filing is due on October 18, followed by 21Shares on October 19.
Bitwise faces its deadline on October 20, while Canary Capital’s application is set for October 23. WisdomTree, one of the largest asset managers worldwide, has its XRP ETF deadline slated for October 24. Rounding out the month, Franklin Templeton and CoinShares both face October 25 deadlines.
Each of these applications represents a significant institutional interest in building regulated investment vehicles on XRP. The combined assets under management (AUM) of the applicants exceed trillions of dollars across traditional and digital markets, indicating that approval of even a single spot ETF could have meaningful implications for investor access and liquidity.

Live Futures ETFs Already Active
While the focus is on pending spot ETF applications, several futures-based XRP ETFs have already gone live. ProShares, Volatility Shares, Teucrium, REX Shares, and Purpose Investments have all launched futures products tied to XRP.
These funds track XRP price movements indirectly through derivatives rather than holding the asset itself. The live futures ETFs mark an important step, but the broader market has its attention fixed on the approval of direct spot ETFs, which would hold XRP directly and potentially attract a wider range of investors.
Market Sentiment Ahead of October
Reactions from the crypto community reflect contrasting expectations. One X user, CryptOpus, commented that a spot ETF launch would drive demand and set XRP up for a strong rally during the October rollout.
Another user, Menefrego, took the opposite position, stating with certainty that XRP’s price will remain unaffected despite the upcoming deadlines. These divergent views underscore the uncertainty surrounding how ETF approvals could translate into immediate price action.
Whether the SEC will allow XRP to join Bitcoin and Ethereum in the spot ETF category remains uncertain, but the approaching deadlines ensure that all eyes will be on these filings in the weeks ahead.
