XRP remains one of the most popular coins in the market, with a cult-like community that has supported it for years. With the bullish sentiment surrounding it, the altcoin has performed quite well and continues to inspire support. The most recent developments for XRP have been the ETF filings that suggest it might be the next altcoin to get an SEC nod after Ethereum. The number of filings also puts it well ahead of investor favorites such as Solana and Dogecoin in the running for the next ETF approval.
XRP ETF Filings Climb To 10
XRP ETF filings have been coming out of the market over the past year, especially with the approvals of Ethereum Spot ETFs. These ETFs are expected to give institutional investors an official vehicle to get proper exposure to the market. As Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have been done and dusted, issuers have looked to other large cap altcoins to bring into the market.

The next favorites on the list have been XRP, in addition to heavy hitters such as Solana, Dogecoin, and Litecoin. However, in the race, XRP has clearly differentiated itself in terms of interest, boasting twice as many filings as any other altcoin.
According to data from Kaito Research, there are currently 10 XRP ETF filings pending approval or rejection from the SEC. In contrast, there are five Solana ETF filings, 3 Litecoin filing, and 3 Dogecoin filings. This shows clearly that interest in XRP as the next altcoin to gain ETF approval is the highest.
Additionally, the SEC has acknowledged the XRP ETF filings from industry leaders such as Grayscale. There are also filings from ProShares, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, among others. However, BlackRock has not made a move to file for an XRP ETF despite leading the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF campaigns.
Nevertheless, the filings for XRP ETFs remain a big deal for the altcoinm and their approval could trigger another wave of price hikes.
ETFs And The SEC Battle Conclusion
For many, the major hindrance to an SEC approval of an XRP ETF was the ongoing battle between the crypto firm and the regulator, which began in 2020. However, in March 2025, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced that the case was officially over.

With this development, expectations that the regulator will look favorably upon an XRP ETF are high. If the ETFs are approved, even with a fraction of the Bitcoin ETF volumes, the XRP price is expected to explode in response, with some analysts predicting that the altcoin’s price could rise to the double-digits.
