Ripple President Monica Long has stated that an XRP spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) is likely to be approved “very soon,” and is expected to be next in line after the recently approved Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) ETFs.

Ripple President Monica Long mentioned in a January 7 interview on Bloomberg TV that the crypto market might receive more crypto spot ETF approvals in 2025. Long suggested that President Donald Trump and his pro-crypto administration would introduce more crypto-friendly regulations to support ETFs sooner.

We think, especially with the administration change, the approvals of those filings will accelerate,” Ripple president Monica Long said.

XRP outperformed Bitcoin over the past 24 hours as Ripple executives met with President-elect Donald Trump and shared ETF optimism.

The Polymarket poll, which launched just four days ago, has seen aggressive betting on the Ripple XRP’s ETF approval, with a notable 20% uptick in odds within the past 24 hours.

Ripple President predicts XRP ETF launch soon after Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, with rising interest from asset managers.

Ripple's (XRP) president makes an interesting disclosure on the launch date for RLUSD on Coinbase and claims the listing will occur soon.

Ripple's XRP is up 2% on Wednesday following positive sentiments surrounding its CEO Brad Garlinghouse's recent dinner with incoming US President Donald Trump. If the recent recovery sentiment prevails, XRP could stage a breakout above the upper boundary line of a bullish pennant pattern.

In a recent Bloomberg interview, Ripple president Monica Long reiterated that XRP ETF would be ‘the next in line’ after US spot BTC and ETH ETFs. “We’ll see more spot crypto ETFs this year from the US. I think XRP is likely to be the next in line after Bitcoin and ETH.”

The $XRP token climbed Wednesday night after Ripple's Brad Garlinghouse and Stuart Alderoty had dinner with President-elect Donald Trump and Bitstamp announced an $RLUSD listing.
