Ripple’s XRP could be ready for a big year in 2025, thanks to two major developments—potential ETFs and its inclusion in a strategic cryptocurrency reserve.
First, there’s the growing buzz around XRP ETFs. Volatility Shares has already filed for three XRP-based ETFs: a spot XRP ETF that tracks its price directly, plus leveraged and inverse options for traders looking to bet big or hedge. The SEC has acknowledged these filings, starting a 240-day review period.
Then, there’s the U.S. government’s recent announcement about a strategic crypto reserve. While Bitcoin is the primary focus, XRP’s inclusion on the list of assets grabbed attention. While the government isn’t actively buying XRP, its mention alongside major names like Ethereum and Solana highlights its growing relevance.
