Summary
Investment leader Franklin Templeton has officially entered the race for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), submitting a proposal aimed at tracking XRP’s spot price with fees accounted for, while the assets will be managed via Coinbase Custody.
Key Highlights:
- The ETF is designed to trade on the Cboe BZX Exchange.
- Shareholders will not receive benefits from XRP Ledger forks or airdrops.
- With the SEC’s preliminary filing, there is a review period of up to 240 days, meaning a decision could potentially be made in late 2025.
- This move aligns Franklin Templeton with other financial entities like Bitwise and 21Shares, indicating a shift towards more cryptocurrency-friendly regulations.
XRP saw a 4.2% increase in value over the past 24 hours, reflecting the positive trend in the broader crypto market.
