First XRP ETF application filed with SEC

向 SEC 提交的第一个 XRP ETF 申请

Bitwise, which is already offering a spot Bitcoin ETF and Ethereum spot ETF, is the first company to officially apply for approval to issue an exchange-traded fund tracking the daily price of XRP.

Bitwise 已经提供现货比特币 ETF 和以太坊现货 ETF，是第一家正式申请批准发行跟踪 XRP 每日价格的交易所交易基金的公司。

Commenting on the development, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, said via X:

Ripple 首席执行官 Brad Garlinghouse 在评论这一进展时通过 X 表示：

First BTC, then ETH…it was only a matter of time.

首先是 BTC，然后是 ETH……这只是时间问题。

This move underscores the growing trust & integration of digital assets like XRP into traditional finance, marking the continued adoption and maturation of the crypto market. I sense this is just the beginning.

此举凸显了 XRP 等数字资产日益增长的信任度以及与传统金融的融合，标志着加密货币市场的持续采用和成熟。我感觉这只是一个开始。

The announcement that Bitwise is seeking SEC approval for an XRP ETF follows the filing for an XRP ETF Trust in Delaware on Tuesday, October 2, 2024.

Bitwise 宣布寻求 SEC 批准 XRP ETF 是在 2024 年 10 月 2 日星期二在特拉华州提交 XRP ETF 信托文件之后发布的。

With this official Form S-1 filing, the Bitwise XRP ETP will now await SEC’s approval, including for the Form 19b-4.

通过这份正式的 S-1 表格备案，Bitwise XRP ETP 现在将等待 SEC 的批准，包括表格 19b-4。

Commenting on the filing, Bitwise chief executive officer Hunter Horsley said:

Bitwise 首席执行官 Hunter Horsley 在评论该文件时表示：

“At Bitwise, we believe blockchains will usher in new, apolitical monetary assets and permissionless applications for the 21st century. It’s why for the past seven years we’ve helped investors access the opportunities in the space, and we’re excited to continue that work with our filing for a Bitwise XRP ETP.”

“在 Bitwise，我们相信区块链将为 21 世纪带来新的、非政治性的货币资产和无需许可的应用程序。这就是为什么在过去七年里我们帮助投资者获得该领域的机会，我们很高兴能够通过提交 Bitwise XRP ETP 来继续这项工作。”

The S-1 filing comes just days before a deadline for the SEC to appeal the 2023 court ruling on the status of XRP. This deadline is on October 7 and relates to the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple and its executive over the sale of XRP, which the regulator said was a security until a US judge ruled it was not in July last year.

S-1 文件提交的时间距离 SEC 对 2023 年法院关于 XRP 地位的裁决提出上诉的最后期限仅几天。这个最后期限是 10 月 7 日，与 SEC 对 Ripple 及其高管就 XRP 销售提起的诉讼有关。监管机构称 XRP 是一种证券，直到去年 7 月美国法官裁定 XRP 不是一种证券。

If the SEC does appeal the ruling over XRP sales, then it would be interesting to see how the regulator handles the application for the XRP ETF.

如果 SEC 确实对 XRP 销售裁决提出上诉，那么看看监管机构如何处理 XRP ETF 的申请将会很有趣。

Ripple has been battling the SEC in a legal dispute that began in December 2020. In August 2024, Judge Analisa Torres ordered Ripple Labs to pay a $125 million civil penalty in settlement with the securities agency.

Ripple 一直在与 SEC 展开一场始于 2020 年 12 月的法律纠纷。2024 年 8 月，法官 Analisa Torres 下令 Ripple Labs 支付 1.25 亿美元的民事罚款，以与证券机构达成和解。

XRP price reacted positively to the news of the Bitwise XRP ETF filing, rising to intraday highs of $0.7. However, the coin has since pared most of the gains and was trading at around $0.58 at the last check.

XRP 价格对 Bitwise XRP ETF 备案的消息做出积极反应，升至 0.7 美元的盘中高点。然而，此后该代币已经回吐了大部分涨幅，最后一次检查时的交易价格约为 0.58 美元。
