XRP ETF Nears Launch As Canary Removes SEC Delay

Canary Capital Group recently amended its S-1 filing by removing the SEC “delay clause” for the XRP Spot ETF, potentially setting the stage for an automatic launch on November 13, 2025. The SEC’s control over timing has shifted.

This decision involves Canary Capital partners such as Gemini Trust and BitGo Trust, who will custody XRP holdings. By eliminating the delay clause, approval is subject to a statutory 20-day period pending Nasdaq’s review.

The removal of the SEC’s discretionary power might lead to a faster approval process, impacting the cryptocurrency market significantly. This could translate to greater market activity and liquidity for XRP, drawing institutional investors keen on new financial instruments.

The decision is expected to accelerate XRP trading volume and possibly affect price movements. Financial markets could see shifts as major liquidity providers, including Flowdesk and Virtu Financial, are primed to support infusions.

Past token ETF approvals aligned with this approach have shown a positive impact on asset trading volume and investor interest. As historical trends suggest, this process might result in elevated asset exposure and ripple effects across related markets.

By using a 20-day regulatory period, Canary Capital sets a precedent for future crypto ETFs. Anticipated increases in trading could lead to volatility but also present a significant opportunity for financial growth in the cryptocurrency industry overall.

Eleanor Terrett, Journalist at FOX Business, noted, “@CanaryFunds has filed an updated S-1 for its $XRP spot ETF, removing the ‘delaying amendment’ that stops a registration from going auto-effective and gives the @SECGov control over timing. This sets Canary’s $XRP ETF up for a launch date of November 13, assuming the Nasdaq process proceeds.” Read more
