BlackRock CEO Larry Fink recently hinted at the possibility of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), sparking renewed optimism within the XRP community.
In an interview with FOX Business, when asked directly if BlackRock would apply for an XRP ETF, Fink responded “I can’t talk about that.” While not a firm commitment, his refusal to rule out the idea completely was seen as encouraging by XRP proponents.
This comes on the heels of the historic approval of the first Bitcoin spot ETF in the US, leading to speculation about if and when other digital assets like XRP could also make their way into mainstream investment vehicles.
While Fink remained judiciously vague, likely aware his words could significantly impact markets, podcast host Tony Edward praised his careful approach. He explained how a definitive yes or no answer could trigger unintended price fluctuations at this stage.
So while concrete plans remain uncertain, Fink’s intentional ambiguity seems to suggest he recognizes the growing appetite for access to digital assets within ETFs. For now, the XRP community remains cautiously optimistic that integration into BlackRock’s offerings may only be a matter of time.
