21Shares has submitted 8(a) registration documents related to a spot XRP (XRP) exchange-traded fund (ETF) to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
On the 8th (local time), Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, said via X, "21Shares has submitted 8(a) registration documents for a spot XRP ETF to the SEC. With this filing, 21Shares' product has entered the 20-day automatic effectiveness countdown."
This follows the 'automatic effectiveness conversion (delaying amendment removal)' method recently applied by major asset managers such as Bitwise and Fidelity to Solana (SOL) spot ETFs, and is expected to bring forward the launch timing of a spot XRP ETF.
