According to @EricBalchunas, XRP filings did not undergo the same back-and-forth SEC comment process seen with Solana, which issuers used to judge Solana as more ready to proceed, source: Eric Balchunas on X, Oct 30, 2025. For traders, this points to higher procedural uncertainty for any XRP ETF attempts versus SOL and makes SEC comment letters and iterative filing updates key signals to monitor, source: Eric Balchunas on X, Oct 30, 2025.

According to Eric Balchunas on Twitter, the process of onboarding a new ETF in many regions can take up to three years, which is important for traders considering long-term exposure to crypto ETFs. Balchunas notes that while this observation is anecdotal, it aligns with industry experience, suggesting that approval and listing timelines can affect trading strategies and portfolio planning (source: Eric Balchunas, Twitter, May 1, 2025).

According to Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, after consulting with ETF expert James Seyffart (@JSeyff), traders should note that all current dates for crypto ETP decisions are intermediate, with final approvals likely clustered in Q4 2025. Specifically for the XRP spot ETF, Seyffart highlights mid-October, around the 18th, as the key deadline for a final SEC decision. This timeline is critical for XRP traders and investors, as ETF approval or denial could significantly impact XRP market volatility and liquidity in the lead-up to and following the decision date (Source: Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, April 29, 2025).

According to Eleanor Terrett, the SEC has postponed its decision on Franklin Templeton’s proposed XRP spot ETF until June 17, as reported on sec.gov. This regulatory delay introduces continued uncertainty for XRP traders and investors, potentially affecting short-term price action and trading volume. Market participants are advised to monitor the June 17 deadline closely, as ETF approval or further delay could trigger significant volatility in XRP markets. Source: Eleanor Terrett Twitter, sec.gov.
