SEC Reviews Grayscale’s XRP and DOGE ETFs, But No Approval Yet

The SEC has acknowledged Grayscale’s filings for XRP and Dogecoin ETFs, but this does not mean approval. Instead, the regulator is seeking public comments before making a final decision. The acknowledgment, however, signals potential openness from the SEC, especially after similar filings for a Solana ETF. On January 30, 2025, NYSE Arca submitted a request to list and trade shares of the Grayscale XRP Trust. A revised version was later filed on February 10, indicating changes from the original proposal. ETF Store President Nate Geraci noted the significance of this move, emphasizing that many are overlooking the fact that the SEC is considering an XRP ETF while still engaged in litigation with Ripple. Adding to the speculation, the SEC recently removed its lawsuit against Ripple from its “Litigation Releases” section, moving it to “Court of Appeals.” While this does not indicate an end to legal proceedings, it has sparked debate about the potential outcome. Fox Business reporter Eleanor Terrett clarified that acknowledgment does not mean automatic approval but does show a more open approach from the SEC . This development marks a shift in the regulator’s stance. In December 2024, the SEC rejected multiple applications for Solana ETFs. However, under the new administration, those filings received acknowledgment after being resubmitted by Cboe. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart pointed out that under the previous SEC leadership, such acknowledgment would not have happened, highlighting a potential change in regulatory attitude. Once published in the Federal Register, Grayscale’s XRP ETF will have a 240-day review period before a final decision. Other asset managers have also filed for spot XRP ETFs, further pushing the conversation forward. Meanwhile, the SEC has also acknowledged Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF filing, following the firm’s recent launch of a Dogecoin Trust. Analysts view this as a promising step, noting that in the past, many altcoin ETF filings were withdrawn immediately. Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas sees this as a small but positive development, suggesting that the odds of DOGE ETF approval have slightly increased. Dogecoin is believed to have a higher approval chance than Solana or XRP, as the SEC may classify it as a commodity rather than a security. The classification of assets has been a major hurdle for ETFs based on other cryptocurrencies. Alongside Grayscale, Bitwise has also submitted a DOGE ETF application. Meanwhile, Rex Shares has proposed multiple meme coin ETFs, including Dogecoin, Bonk, and Official Trump. With the SEC acknowledging these filings, the market is watching closely to see if this signals a shift in how the regulator views crypto-based ETFs.
