The crypto market was gearing up for a historic moment: the launch of the first-ever XRP futures ETFs by ProShares.
However, in a surprising turn, Bloomberg reports that ProShares’ XRP futures ETFs will not launch on April 30, dashing near-term expectations and raising fresh questions about regulatory strategy and market timing.

While the delay doesn’t necessarily mean cancellation, it adds a layer of uncertainty to XRP’s institutional adoption story, at a time when futures-based ETFs are becoming critical drivers of market liquidity.

ProShares Pulls Back on XRP Futures ETFs Launch

Earlier this year, ProShares, a heavyweight in the ETF world known for its Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO), made headlines by filing to launch XRP futures ETFs.
The filings suggested strong regulatory momentum, particularly following the partial legal victory Ripple Labs secured against the SEC in 2023, which classified XRP sales on exchanges as not securities.

Initial reports indicated that ProShares had secured preliminary approval, setting up a potential April 30 debut. But Bloomberg’s latest update reveals that the launch will not proceed as scheduled, and no alternative date has been announced.

Key reasons for the delay are still unclear, but sources suggest ongoing regulatory scrutiny, shifting internal strategies, or market conditions could be at play.

“While SEC approval for futures-based products is generally easier to obtain than for spot-based products, the agency maintains significant control over launch timing and product readiness,” noted Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

Why the Delay Matters for XRP and the Market

The launch of XRP futures ETFs would have been a watershed moment for XRP’s mainstream legitimacy, similar to what Bitcoin experienced with its first futures ETFs in 2021.

Here’s why this delay is significant:

  • Institutional Access: Futures ETFs enable traditional investors to gain exposure to crypto assets without directly holding them. A delayed launch limits XRP’s reach into institutional portfolios for now.

  • Market Sentiment: The news may weigh on short-term XRP sentiment, especially among investors anticipating a bullish catalyst.

  • Regulatory Signals: The decision to delay — even without full explanation — signals that regulators are still cautious when it comes to XRP, despite favorable court rulings.

XRP Price Reaction

Interestingly, XRP’s price has remained relatively stable following the announcement, suggesting that the market had already priced in some uncertainty.

At the time of writing, XRP trades at approximately $0.52, down 2.5% over the past 24 hours but still up around 12% month-to-date as broader altcoin optimism persists.

Analysts warn that prolonged delays in major institutional products could eventually dampen momentum unless clear updates emerge.

Broader Context: The Crypto ETF Landscape

ProShares’ decision fits into a broader pattern of caution in the U.S. crypto ETF space:

  • Spot Bitcoin ETFs were approved in January 2025 after years of rejections, setting a major precedent.

  • Ethereum futures ETFs launched in late 2023 but underperformed early expectations due to regulatory hesitations.

  • Ripple’s legal status remains somewhat unsettled; while XRP is not considered a security in secondary sales, Ripple still faces a trial regarding allegations of institutional sales.

The delay highlights the ongoing tension between cryptocurrency innovation and cautious U.S. financial regulation — a dynamic that is unlikely to disappear anytime soon.

Conclusion: What’s Next for XRP and ETFs?

The delay of ProShares’ XRP futures ETFs is a disappointment for XRP advocates eager for mainstream financial validation.
However, it’s not a death sentence for the idea. Regulatory navigation, timing adjustments, and internal strategy shifts are integral to launching any crypto-related ETF in today’s climate.

Investors should stay tuned for further filings or announcements. A successful launch of XRP futures ETFs — even if delayed — could eventually spark new interest in XRP among traditional finance players.

In the meantime, XRP’s fundamentals, Ripple’s ongoing global expansion, and broader altcoin market trends will continue to drive the token’s performance.
