In a bold statement on X, crypto commentator The Real Remi Relief linked the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) recent decision regarding XRP to BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. According to the post, BlackRock is strategically positioned to secure the first U.S. XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), and recent regulatory actions are part of a larger push to shake retail investors out of their holdings. Remi Relief warned the community to “hide your XRP,” noting that the asset is divisible into one million “drops,” the smallest unit on the XRP Ledger, which highlights its precision and utility for transactions. The Legal Backdrop: Ripple vs. SEC Nears Closure The comments come against the backdrop of Ripple’s long-running legal battle with the SEC. After years of litigation, recent developments suggest the case is moving toward closure. I told you nobody gets a XRP ETF until BlackRock gets it first! BlackRock Eats First. The beat the crowd and filed for an XRP ETF years ago. All their papers are in and they’ll get approved when the time is right. Hide your XRP. They are doing everything possible to get… pic.twitter.com/i5EU7v0R0y — The Real Remi Relief (@RemiReliefX) August 18, 2025 Ripple is expected to pay a significant fine as part of a settlement, though a federal judge previously rejected attempts to reduce penalties or lift injunctions prematurely, emphasizing the need for a resolution that serves the public interest. This tension has fueled speculation about how regulatory clarity could pave the way for new financial products tied to XRP. BlackRock’s Position on XRP ETFs Remi Relief’s post suggested that BlackRock had “filed years ago” for an XRP ETF and is simply waiting for the right time to launch. However, no public record supports this claim. On the contrary, BlackRock has not applied for a spot XRP ETF. Instead, the company remains focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, where it already has a dominant presence. Industry reports show BlackRock has made no indication of an imminent move into XRP ETFs despite heightened community expectations following Ripple’s partial courtroom victories. The Broader ETF Landscape What is confirmed is that other issuers have filed for XRP-based ETFs , adding XRP to a growing list of digital assets vying for exchange-traded status. The SEC, however, has delayed rulings on these applications, pushing decisions into October 2025 as part of its extended review process. This means no single entity, including BlackRock, has secured approval yet, and the timeline will depend on regulatory evaluation rather than behind-the-scenes maneuvering.

While this technical detail is accurate and central to the XRP Ledger’s design, its mention in the post was framed as part of a broader caution that institutional players may allow retail investors access to drops while positioning themselves to accumulate larger XRP holdings. The Real Remi Relief’s warning reflects growing unease in the XRP community over institutional involvement and regulatory pressure. However, public evidence does not support claims that BlackRock has already filed for an XRP ETF or is guaranteed priority when approvals come. What is certain is that Ripple’s legal case with the SEC is nearing resolution, multiple issuers have pending XRP ETF filings, and the SEC is extending decision deadlines. For investors, the lesson is clear: separate fact from speculation and track official filings and court rulings to avoid being swayed by fear or unverified claims.
