Well, here’s something that’s got the crypto world talking again. Nate Geraci, who heads up NovaDius Wealth Management, is making a pretty specific prediction. He’s suggesting we could see spot XRP ETFs get the official green light within the next two months. That’s a fairly short window, especially considering the recent news.
Just a few days ago, the SEC decided to push off its decision on a handful of these XRP ETF applications. They didn’t approve them, but they didn’t reject them either. They just… postponed. This affected proposals from big names like Bitwise, Grayscale, and CoinShares. It’s the usual waiting game we’ve come to expect. But Geraci seems to be reading the tea leaves differently. He’s looking past this delay and suggesting the floodgates might actually open soon. Perhaps he knows something, or maybe it’s just a strong hunch.
Why the Sudden Optimism on XRP ETFs?
It all seems to hinge on the broader regulatory mood. Geraci’s outlook is influenced by what he sees as a shifting, and more favorable, landscape for crypto in the U.S. He points to the CLARITY Act, which recently cleared the House and is now sitting with the Senate. This isn’t some minor piece of paperwork. The bill aims to finally set some clear rules for digital assets, sorting out which regulator is in charge of what and hopefully ending this endless debate over what is or isn’t a security.
If the Senate passes it, the path to the President’s desk is clear. Of course, that’s a big ‘if,’ and the timeline for that is anyone’s guess. But the mere possibility seems to be fueling this confidence. An approved spot ETF would be a huge deal for XRP. It would open the doors for mainstream investment firms to get involved, the kind that might not touch a direct crypto purchase. That kind of institutional money could potentially create a much stronger foundation for the asset’s price.
Beyond Just XRP
Interestingly, Geraci’s predictions don’t stop there. He’s casting a wider net. He figures that by this time next year—October 2025—we might also see spot ETFs for other altcoins, specifically naming Solana and Litecoin. That feels like a much longer shot to a lot of people, but he seems to think the dominoes will start falling.
And there’s another thing he’s waiting on. He believes the SEC is about to allow staking for the recently approved spot Ethereum ETFs. This would be a pretty significant add-on. It would let investors in those funds earn additional returns, not just rely on price appreciation. It’s a feature many have been asking for. The thinking is that once that door is open for Ethereum, it becomes easier to walk through for other assets.
So, are we on the cusp of a big change? Maybe. The SEC has a history of moving slowly, so two months feels awfully fast. But the political winds do seem to be shifting. It’s one to watch closely, for sure.
