Ripple CEO hints XRP will become part of White House cryptocurrency reserves and ETFs

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in an interview with Bloomberg that he is confident that XRP will be included in the White House’s cryptocurrency reserves and expects the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve the XRP ETF by the end of the year, saying it is “imperative.” The SEC has postponed Franklin Templeton’s application to November, with 11 applications pending approval. Driven by speculation, XRP rose nearly 3% to $3.10. Analysts believe that XRP prices may soar if approved, but the risk remains if rejected.
