The company joined other firms, such as Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares, in pursuing XRP ETFs in the US.
XRP is one of the best-performing altcoins in the latest crypto rally, with prices at levels last seen in 2021.
FM
WisdomTree, a prominent New York-based asset
management firm, filed for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Delaware on
November 25. The filings came amid a surge in XRP price to levels last seen in
2021.
Although state-level filings are often preliminary,
the move signals the company's intention to expand into crypto markets, especially as
Ripple’s battle with the SEC for clear regulations.
Emerging XRP ETF Landscape
WisdomTree’s move makes it one of the few firms,
including Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares, to pursue XRP ETFs in the US,
Cointelegraph reported.
None of these applications have gained SEC approval
yet, but Ripple’s partial legal victory in July 2023 has injected optimism into
the market. A federal judge ruled that
XRP sales to retail investors were not securities, challenging the SEC’s long-standing narrative. The regulator, however, has not conceded defeat. In October
2024, it filed an official appeal, pushing back any potential resolutions to
2025.
The legal uncertainty leaves XRP ETF proposals in
regulatory uncertainty, but firms like WisdomTree appear ready to bet on
eventual approval. The political climate might also play a decisive role. Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US presidential
election has raised hopes among crypto enthusiasts.
XRP to the Moon?
During his campaign, Trump pledged to make the US a
global leader in cryptocurrency and blockchain innovation, signaling a
potential departure from the SEC’s historically stringent stance under Gary
Gensler.
President-elect Trump’s incoming administration could
bring sweeping changes to financial regulation. Analysts anticipate that the new SEC leadership will prioritize fostering crypto
growth over enforcing ongoing lawsuits.

For now, WisdomTree’s Delaware filing serves as a
marker of growing confidence in XRP’s regulatory future. Whether this
confidence pays off will depend on both courtroom outcomes and the priorities
of the incoming administration. With Trump’s promise to make the US a crypto
powerhouse, the landscape for digital asset innovation is expected to change.
XRP remains one of the best-performing altcoins following the recent crypto market rally. At the time of publication, the token was up 6% in the past day and 35% in the past week to trade at $1.47. Its current market capitalization is more than $84 billion, and it is ranked 6th on CoinMarketCap.

Paytiko CEO Razi Salih on Why Payment Orchestration is a MUST-HAVE for Brokers in 2026
At iFX Expo Dubai, Finance Magnates spoke with Razi Salih, CEO at Paytiko, about the evolution of the payments ecosystem and why payment orchestration has shifted from an option to a necessity for brokers, prop firms, and exchanges.
Mr. Salih explains how global expansion, the need for deep localisation, and the sheer number of new payment methods, from instant banking to stablecoins, are driving this critical infrastructure shift.

Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav: Solving Data Fragmentation & Lag for Brokers & Prop Firms
Altima CTO Sunil Jadhav sits down with Finance Magnates to discuss the core technology challenges facing CFD brokers and proprietary trading firms today.
Jadhav explains how the industry's reliance on batch processing and fragmented systems (where CRMs, risk tools, and trading platforms operate with separate 'sources of truth') leads to delayed data and inconsistent operational decisions. He argues that real-time event processing is essential for managing fast-moving trading activity and risk.
Learn how Altima's unified, event-driven architecture, connecting Altima CRM, Altima Prop, IB systems, and risk management through a single backbone, is designed to provide synchronous data and better operational coordination for modern brokerage and prop firm stacks.
Key Topics:
- Broker and Prop Firm Data Challenges
- The problem of delayed data processing (batch processing vs. real-time events)
- Fragmented systems and conflicting data sources
- Altima's unified, event-driven solution architecture
- The concept of a "risk-aware CRM"
- Built-in risk management in Altima Prop
