Grayscale Investments anticipates that the approval of an XRP ETF could proceed swiftly once the U.S. government shutdown concludes. Zach Pandl, Grayscale's Head of Research, highlighted that while the shutdown may delay ETF and ETP product reviews, the SEC is expected to expedite approvals due to established listing standards. This could pave the way for a wave of single-asset ETFs, including XRP and Solana, to enter the market. Analysts suggest that an approved XRP ETF would bolster institutional access and enhance the cryptocurrency's legitimacy.
