XRP ETF Watch: DTCC List Signals Point to Possible Launch of the 1933 Act This Week

Five spot

The first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) structured under the Securities Act of 1933 could debut this week.

This follows the recent addition of five XRP ETFs to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation’s (DTCC) active roster.

DTCC listing brings Spot XRP ETFs closer to launch

The DTCC recording confirms that the clearing and settlement systems are ready for these investment products. The database is a centralized system that records and processes securities transactions, including ETFs, in the United States financial markets.

However, the development has not received approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), but is widely seen as one of the final steps before launch. The exchange-traded funds include the Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP), Franklin Templeton XRP Trust (XRPZ), 21Shares XRP ETF (TOXR), Canary Capital XRP ETF (XRPC) and CoinShares

The timing of these additions coincides with the resolution of the US government shutdown, which had previously brought regulatory processes to a standstill. Following Senate approval of a bipartisan funding package, agencies like the SEC can now resume normal operations. This allows the assessment of all new financial products, including ETFs, to proceed.

Commenting on the development, Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, said: “Government shutdown ends = spot crypto ETF floodgates open,” adding that he expects the spot XRP ETFs to go live this week.

The analyst also believes that these developments demonstrate a clear shift in regulatory tone following the end of Ripple’s five-year legal dispute with the SEC in August 2025.

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg said last week that the company could launch its XRPC ETF as early as next week. Franklin Templeton and 21Shares also filed a third amendment, both removing Section 8(a) delay language to expedite approval. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the 21Shares application will enter a 20-day waiting period, potentially making its debut in November if no further robberies occur.
