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.
