According to FOX Business’ Eleanor Terrett, the SEC might acknowledge Grayscale’s 19b-4 filing for an XRP$XRP ETF as early as February 13, 2025. 🤔 If approved, XRP could join Bitcoin and Ethereum with its own spot ETF. But will the SEC give it the green light? 👀

🔍 What does this mean for XRP? The SEC has historically considered XRP an unregistered security, but after a landmark court ruling, XRP was declared not a security. However, analysts estimate only a 65% chance of ETF approval this year—lower than Litecoin (90%) or Dogecoin (75%). 🚫 Why? The ongoing Ripple lawsuit is a major factor.

💼 Legal Challenges: Pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan suggests an ETF approval might not happen until the Ripple-SEC lawsuit is settled. But with little left to argue in court, a resolution is likely imminent.

📅 The Timeline: Even if the SEC moves forward, the approval process could take 8-12 months. Nasdaq is also pushing for an XRP ETF, which could boost demand and push XRP’s price higher. 📈

💡 The SEC’s Crypto Task Force: The newly formed Crypto Task Force could play a pivotal role in shaping regulations and influencing the Ripple case. Speculation is rife that the SEC may wait for more clarity before making any big moves. ⏳

🔗 Stay tuned! The path for XRP is still filled with uncertainties, but if things line up, we could see a groundbreaking step for the crypto world. 🌍
