Issuers Fast-Track U.S. Spot XRP ETFs for Mid-November Launch Window

Managers are using Section 8(a) no‑delay filings to make registrations automatically effective after 20 days, subject to exchange 8‑A registration plus no new SEC objections.

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.
