XRP News Today: SEC Closure Delays Crypto ETFs Amid Rising Institutional Interest
- SEC's prolonged silence on crypto ETFs, including XRP and ADA, delays approvals amid government shutdown. - ProShares files diversified crypto ETF using swaps, reflecting growing institutional demand for regulated products. - Shutdown freezes critical reviews, leaving over 20 ETP filings in regulatory limbo despite market demand. - Analysts predict post-shutdown ETF surge but warn SEC's tokenization delays and governance risks persist.

The Cryptonomist article advises firms to prepare governance documentation now to expedite approvals when reviews resume.
With the Senate preparing for its eleventh vote on government funding, the near-term outlook remains unclear. For now, strong institutional interest and pent-up demand in the crypto sector persist, but the SEC’s eventual return to full operations is expected to shape the next wave of ETF approvals and the integration of digital assets into traditional markets, as the Bitcoinsistemi article concluded.
