TL;DR:
- Experts, like Nate Geraci, expect the launch of the first spot XRP ETFs in the next two weeks.
- Approval is facilitated by the end of the SEC’s litigation against Ripple, marking a regulatory shift.
- Analysts predict a major price impact, with targets of $5 or more, as whales accumulate.
We are one step away from a major achievement in the cryptocurrency industry. The first spot XRP ETFs are expected to debut in the next two weeks. Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, shared on X that he anticipates the imminent launch of these investment products.
Experts believe that the end of the prolonged litigation between the U.S. SEC and Ripple has removed the main barrier to the approval of these investment vehicles.
Geraci described the upcoming development as a shift in regulatory tone, calling it the “final nail in the coffin of the previous anti-crypto regulators.” The analyst highlighted that the SEC maintained a lawsuit against Ripple for five years, which ended just three months ago in August 2025.
This case, which began in December 2020, accused Ripple of an unregistered securities offering, and its conclusion has cleared the path for spot XRP ETF applicants.
Whale Accumulation and Price Impact
According to reports, Canary Capital is leading the race, aiming to launch its spot XRP ETF around November 13. If confirmed, it would be the first time the cryptocurrency is offered in a regulated investment vehicle in the U.S.
Other applicants, such as Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, CoinShares, and WisdomTree, saw their reviews delayed, partly due to a previous U.S. government shutdown that affected the SEC’s deadlines.
Analysts predict that the launch of spot XRP ETFs will have a massive impact on the token’s price. Some believe that XRP could attract a similar level of assets as spot Bitcoin ETFs, which reached one hundred billion dollars.
This optimism is supported by the activity of “whales,” who have purchased over $340 million in XRP in the past month, including a single $1 billion purchase.
The combination of rising demand, reduced supply on centralized exchanges (due to increased trading on the XRP Ledger’s DEX), and regulatory clarity is creating what experts are calling the “breakout moment” for XRP, with price targets reaching $5 or more.
