Edo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, recently noted that XRP will dominate Wall Street in the future. He anticipates that major financial institutions, including Wall Street firms, Grayscale, and BlackRock, will pursue XRP acquisitions at significantly higher prices.

Hashdex To Launch First XRP ETF in Brazil
Some of the top asset managers in the market are pursuing the launch of a spot XRP ETf in the US. However, as the regulators still weigh the decision of approval in the US, Hashdex secured approval to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Brazil, reported CNF earlier today. This ETF will go live for trading on Brazil’s B3 exchange. This development can further propel the XRP price moving ahead.
Meanwhile, the U.S. SEC has acknowledged a wave of ETF filings related to the cryptocurrency, further boosting market optimism. Notably, the regulator recently recognized ETF applications from Canary Capital and WisdomTree. This follows its earlier acknowledgment of XRP ETF filings by Bitwise, Grayscale, and 21Shares. As per the Polymarket data, there’s 80% chance of XRP ETF approval this year in 2025.
