WisdomTree, one of the well-known players in the financial products space, has recently withdrawn its application to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on $XRP from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This news came as a surprise to many market participants, especially considering the recent optimism surrounding XRP.
WisdomTree's decision has raised many questions and speculations. Although the official reason for withdrawing the application was not fully disclosed, experts speculate that it may be related to the uncertainty surrounding the regulatory status of XRP and the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple. Despite Ripple's partial victories in court, full clarity on whether XRP is a security remains absent.
This decision may temporarily cool enthusiasm for creating an XRP ETF in the U.S., as issuers are likely to take a wait-and-see approach until greater regulatory clarity is achieved. However, it's important to note that this does not affect XRP's potential as a digital asset for cross-border payments.
