‘Bizarre’: ETF with XRP Exposure Hits Major SEC Roadblock

robot
Abstract generation in progress

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has halted the conversion of Bitwise’s 10 Crypto Index Fund into an exchange-traded fund (ETF), which would provide investors with exposure to XRP and some other major altcoins

This happened just hours after the SEC's Division of Trading and Markets granted initial approval.

ETF analyst Nate Geraci has described the sudden reversal as "bizarre," noting that the same scenario had played out with the Grayscale Digital Large Cap ETF (GDLC)

In both cases, the SEC staff approved the conversion of the products before suddenly hitting the pause button for an unknown reason

The recent developments are rather surprising considering that the new SEC administration has adopted an explicitly pro-crypto stance

It was previously reported that XRP ETFs might be stuck in regulatory limbo due to the SEC working on a new universal listing framework. Spot-based altcoin ETFs are likely to be approved in late 2025.

Meanwhile, US investors can already gain exposure to leveraged and futures-based XRP and Solana (SOL) ETFs

MAJOR-11.31%
