Franklin Templeton Files for XRP ETF, Joining the Competitive Landscape

Franklin Templeton has stepped into the XRP ETF race, submitting an application to the SEC, which has a preliminary approval window of up to 240 days.

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.
