Overview
- DTCC now shows nine XRP ETFs on its platform, a preparatory step that indicates settlement readiness but not the start of trading.
- Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, Canary Capital and Grayscale updated S‑1s to shorten or remove the 8(a) delaying clause, signaling plans to target listings this month.
- Canary’s CEO said the firm aims to launch a spot XRP fund next week after filing a no‑delay amendment timed to November 13, contingent on Nasdaq’s Form 8‑A acceptance.
- Four futures‑based XRP ETFs are already trading, while multiple pure spot products await final exchange steps and the absence of fresh SEC actions.
- An October government shutdown slowed SEC processing, concentrating issuer efforts into a narrow mid‑November window using the automatic‑effect pathway.
