Regulatory reviews of spot XRP ETFs expected by 2025 could further influence the market. Increased institutional allocations to XRP may lead to a shift from futures to spot ETFs. This is particularly relevant given the surging activity in regulated derivatives. Investors and analysts closely monitor these developments for potential impacts on the broader financial ecosystem.
