Get ready for a thrilling development in the world of XRP and crypto ETFs! The buzz around an XRP ETF launch is building, and it's about to get even more exciting!
With the potential end of the government shutdown, the floodgates for spot crypto ETFs could open wide. And here's where it gets controversial... one source suggests we might see the first XRP ETF launch this week, under the 1933 Act, which relates to Canary Funds and their recent S-1 amendment.
Canary Funds, along with 21Shares, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton, have all filed amended S-1s, which could lead to an XRP-spot ETF launch as early as Thursday, November 13th. This move has the potential to boost sentiment and attract strong institutional interest.
But wait, there's more! Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg has upped his prediction for the first month's XRP-spot ETF inflows to a whopping $5 billion or more. He believes this could place the ETF among the top 10 or 20 of all time.
The race is on for the first-to-market advantage in the XRP-spot ETF space!
Canary Funds' XRP-spot ETF is poised to take the lead, but 21Shares, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton are hot on their heels, also eyeing the Section 8(a) auto-effective procedure.
Once the US government reopens, the SEC will have its work cut out. They'll need to clear a backlog of applications, potentially taking several weeks, before reviewing the remaining S-1s with the original delaying amendments. Normal processing times might not resume until December, which could cause delays for CoinShares, Grayscale, and WisdomTree.
And this is the part most people miss...
The technical outlook for XRP is also worth noting. XRP rallied 3.48% on Sunday, November 9th, outperforming the broader crypto market. However, it remains below key moving averages, indicating a potential bearish bias.
Key technical levels to watch for a potential trend reversal include support levels at $2.35, $2.20, $2.00, and $1.90, with resistance at $2.5609 (50-day EMA) and $2.5839 (200-day EMA), and further resistance at $2.50, $2.62, $2.80, $3.00, and $3.66.
