Bitwise has filed for the first spot XRP ETF with the US SEC, providing investors exposure to XRP’s value, minus operational costs and liabilities.
The filing follows a previous XRP ETF Trust filing in Delaware on October 2.
Market observers are uncertain if a futures market is needed for approval, but SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce suggests spot markets can exist without futures.
XRP's price has declined by -9.95% in the last 24 hours, possibly influenced by the recent SEC appeal.
