The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) has recently listed nine XRP ETFs on its platform, signaling potential new trading opportunities for investors. These nine products include a mix of spot-based and futures-based strategies, filed between October 2024 and June 2025. The listings suggest that several XRP ETFs could begin trading as early as November 13, pending final regulatory approval.
### What Does a DTCC Listing Mean?
When an ETF appears on the DTCC site, it means the fund has completed initial registration steps and is prepared for market settlement once regulatory approval is granted. However, it’s important to note that a DTCC listing does not confirm that trading has already started.
### Futures-Based XRP ETFs Already Trading
Currently, four XRP ETFs that utilize futures contracts to track the token’s price movements are actively trading in the market. Examples include the ProRP ETF. These futures-based funds offer daily leverage ranging from one to two times the price movement of XRP. Instead of holding actual XRP tokens, these ETFs gain exposure through derivatives contracts.
In addition, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, launched in September, operates as a hybrid product with approximately 80% spot exposure. This fund functions under the regulatory framework of the 1940 Act, allowing it to trade while pure spot XRP ETFs await final SEC approval.
### Spot-Based XRP ETFs Awaiting SEC Approval
Five XRP ETFs focusing on direct spot exposure—meaning they hold actual XRP tokens—are still under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Among these is the spot component of the 21-Osprey ETF. Progress on these applications stalled following the U.S. government shutdown on October 1, which delayed the review of more than 16 altcoin ETF filings, including those involving XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano.
### Renewed Optimism for Spot XRP ETFs
Recent developments have boosted optimism for the approval of spot XRP ETFs. Canary Capital has removed a delaying amendment from its filing, setting an automatic effective date of November 13, pending the Nasdaq’s clearance of the ticker symbol.
Both Fidelity and Canary Capital have filed final S-1 updates for their altcoin ETF applications, aligning with this same November 13 target date. If the SEC approves these submissions, several spot XRP ETFs are expected to start trading on or around that date.
### Broader Progress in the Altcoin ETF Market
Despite earlier delays, the altcoin ETF market has seen notable progress recently. On October 28, Canary Capital launched the first U.S. spot Litecoin ETF, while Bitwise rolled out its spot Solana ETF under new generic listing standards on the same day. Grayscale’s Solana ETF followed with a launch on October 29.
These developments demonstrate that the SEC has resumed processing applications for altcoin ETFs, signaling potential momentum for the approval of XRP ETFs and other pending cryptocurrency products before the end of November.
