Anticipated Capital Inflow of $100 Billion into XRP following the introduction of Futures ETF
Riding the XRP Wave: Hope for a Spot ETF Delivers Enthusiasm
Here's the skinny on the latest XRP goss: an industry expert's predictions are setting the crypto world abuzz! He reckons the recent green light for the first-ever XRP futures exchange-traded fund (ETF) could pave the way for a spot ETF, potentially bringing a whopping $100 billion into XRP (XRP).
This dreamy scenario unfolds on the back of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) giving the go-ahead to ProShares' XRP futures ETF.
ProShares' XRP Futures ETF: The Dawn of a Crypto Powerhouse?
In black and white, ProShares will cook up three futures-based ETFs to dip into the market on April 30: the Ultra XRP ETF, the Short XRP ETF, and the Ultra Short XRP ETF. This development builds on the launch of Teucrium's 2x Long Daily XRP ETF in early April.
While still not a spot ETF, the green light has pumped up XRP investors. Industry buff Armando Pantoja envisions a drastic capital inflow into the altcoin, just waiting for that spot ETF to show up.
"A spot XRP ETF = tipping point, bringing real demand and prices skyrocketing. $100 billion+ could soon flood into XRP," Pantoja wrote, dripping excitement.
Pantoja underlined that the approval signifies a game-changer for crypto, attracting the attention of Wall Street and institutional investors, giving XRP a controlled playground for big-time players to engage with the asset.
This move expands XRP's appealing base, establishes its cred in the financial elite, and predictably, sets the stage for a price raise.
Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP's Role Models?
Pantoja drew parallels between XRP and the trajectories of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). He points out that futures ETFs were approved first for both cryptos (in 2021 for Bitcoin and 2024 for Ethereum), followed by spot ETFs.
Could history be about to repeat itself for XRP?
So, What Happens Now?
While expectations run high, another analyst cautions that a futures ETF alone is no magic bullet. They emphasize that a Spot XRP ETF will be the game-changer, creating real demand, real market impact, and potentially skyrocketing XRP's price.
Unlike a spot ETF, a futures ETF doesn't buy and hold the actual token, it just lets investors speculate on price without getting their hands dirty. While this may bring XRP onto the traditional finance radar, it doesn't necessarily impact XRP's actual supply or create immediate buying pressure.
The real action seems to be in the wings: several spot XRP ETF applications are being considered by the SEC, with decisions due before October. In the meantime, other nations have beaten the US to the punch: Hashdex launched the first XRP ETF in Brazil last week, and market enthusiasm for XRP remains strong.
So buckle up, folks! XRP could be about to make history, and with its price up 9.4% over the past week and hitting heights last seen in late March, it seems the excitement is only just beginning!
