DTCC Listing Fuels XRP ETF Buzz, But Regulatory Hurdles Remain Despite New Fast-Track Path

Reading Time: < 1 minute

While the DTCC has listed five spot XRP ETFs—from issuers including Franklin Templeton and CoinShares—this is a necessary step, not a guarantee of launch.

The listing is a positive signal but does not replace the need for final SEC approval. However, a new regulatory pathway has significantly brightened the prospects for a November launch.

The SEC’s recent implementation of generic listing standards allows ETP issuers to fast-track approvals, potentially making their filings effective automatically in the coming weeks.

This mirrors the process seen with Canary’s Litecoin ETF, which was listed on the DTCC in February and launched eight months later, suggesting that the XRP funds could be on a much faster timeline.
