The prospect of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has the cryptocurrency community on edge, with BlackRock at the center of the speculation. The world’s largest asset manager has a history of moving deliberately in digital assets, and every hint of interest sends ripples through the market. Now, an illuminating discussion is shedding new light on how BlackRock views the possibility of an XRP ETF—and what it might mean for the token’s price action in the weeks ahead. Strategic Patience from the World’s Largest Asset Manager During an interview highlighted by Good Morning Crypto host Abdullah Nassif, ETF Store president Nate Geraci asked Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s Global Head of Digital Assets, about the firm’s approach to future crypto ETF products, including the possibility of spot XRP and Solana funds. Geraci suggested that BlackRock might be waiting to “swoop in at the last minute” with an application once a formal regulatory framework is in place. BLACKROCK TALKS $XRP ETF FILING! EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW! CLICK BELOW TO WATCH NOW! https://t.co/NpQL7p6FHm — Good Morning Crypto (@AbsGMCrypto) September 26, 2025 Mitchnick’s response underscored BlackRock’s hallmark caution. He explained that investor demand and market conditions remain the primary drivers of any new product offering. BlackRock will only consider filing for an XRP ETF when it is confident about client interest, market maturity, liquidity, and the strength of the asset’s long-term investment thesis. This is the same methodical strategy the firm employed before launching its successful spot Bitcoin ETF , when it quietly built exposure and infrastructure before making a public move. Regulatory Landscape Shapes the Timeline Even with the SEC’s recent adoption of generic listing standards that shorten the approval process for spot crypto ETFs, XRP faces unique regulatory complexities. Although Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have concluded their long-running legal battle, lingering questions about XRP’s classification have kept major financial institutions cautious. Mitchnick acknowledged that BlackRock is closely monitoring regulatory developments to ensure any future filing meets all compliance requirements and offers the clarity its clients expect.

While the SEC’s updated framework has made it easier for exchanges like Nasdaq and Cboe to list crypto ETFs, XRP’s history demands an extra layer of certainty. BlackRock is unlikely to proceed until that clarity is beyond dispute. XRP Price Under Pressure While speculation around an ETF continues , XRP’s price has struggled to hold recent highs. After reaching a high of nearly $3.60 this summer, XRP has pulled back about 25% amid a crypto market downturn. Over the last week, it’s shed around 7.93% as traders reduce their risk exposure. Technical analysts are watching key support levels around $2.80 to $2.90. A decisive break below that range could trigger a deeper correction toward $2.50, while a rebound could set the stage for a move back to the $3.20–$3.60 zone if market sentiment improves. For now, investors remain cautious, balancing optimism over a potential ETF with the reality of short-term volatility. What to Expect in the Coming Weeks The conversation shared by Abdullah Nassif’s Good Morning Crypto podcast makes it clear that BlackRock will not be rushed. The firm’s deliberate approach means that an XRP ETF filing—if it comes—will be timed with precision, not hype. Market participants should therefore temper expectations of an imminent announcement, focusing instead on the evolving regulatory backdrop and XRP’s ability to maintain critical price support. BlackRock’s track record suggests that when the conditions are right—robust investor demand, clear regulation, and a mature market—its entry could be swift and decisive. Until then, the XRP community is left to watch the charts and the regulatory calendar, waiting to see whether the world’s largest asset manager will once again change the landscape of digital-asset investing.
