WisdomTree Funds Files for XRP ETF, Deaton Touts Ripple’s Resilience

  • WisdomTree Funds filed for an XRP ETF in the state of Delaware on November 25.

  • Attorney John Deaton addresses the XRP token as the most resilient asset.

  • Bitwise was the first to apply for the XRP ETF, followed by Canary Capital and 21Shares.

Pro-XRP attorney John Deaton termed Ripple’s XRP the most resilient digital asset as WisdomTree Funds, a leading New York-based asset manager, filed for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Delaware on November 25, 2024.

WisdomTree’s application is just the start toward launching an XRP ETF, with further steps, including an S-1 filing with the SEC, still pending. Fox Business journalist Eleanor Terrett confirmed the filing after reaching out to the asset manager.

With this filing, WisdomTree became the fourth firm to apply for an XRP ETF, following Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares. This reflects growing institutional interest in Ripple’s XRP. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse labeled the demand for XRP ETFs as “inevitable.”

Bitwise led the ETF race with its initial application, while Grayscale launched an XRP Trust with plans to convert it into an ETF.
