Major asset managers race to bring XRP ETFs to market as regulatory hurdles are increasingly addressed and launch timelines accelerate.
Franklin Templeton, an asset management firm advancing spot crypto ETF filings, updated its S-1 filing for an XRP ETF, a proposed spot exchange-traded fund tracking the XRP cryptocurrency, by removing 8(a) language that could delay regulatory approval. The move signals the firm’s intention to launch the product this month.
