Ripple CEO: XRP may be included in the US strategic reserve, IPO is still possible Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in a recent interview with Bloomberg Markets: He is optimistic that the XRP ETF will be approved by the end of 2025 and believes that XRP may become part of the US government's strategic digital asset reserve. Garlinghouse noted that U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in early March formalizing the digital asset reserve program promoted by the White House, and XRP is expected to be included. Garlinghouse said in an interview: The president of Truth Social mentioned that in the future, a strategic reserve of bitcoin and a reserve of cryptocurrencies will be established, which will include XRP. The statement comes after Ripple's years-long legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) finally came to an end. On Wednesday, Ripple's CEO predicted that the SEC would soon withdraw its lawsuit against Ripple, bringing new room for development to the XRP market. As for whether Ripple Labs will consider an IPO, Garlinghouse said: It's possible, but it's not a priority right now. XRP ETFs are expected to see a wave of approvals in the second half of 2025, regulatory variables remain Garlinghouse further said that the market may see a "wave of XRP ETF approvals" in the second half of 2025. Currently, more than 10 institutions have filed XRP ETF applications with the SEC, including well-known investment firms such as Bitwise and Franklin Templeton. Garlinghouse emphasized: I have full confidence in ETFs. He noted that XRP exchange-traded products (ETPs) have been successful outside the U.S. and that institutional investor interest in XRP is growing. While the SEC recently approved spot ETFs for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH), there is still uncertainty about whether XRP will receive similar treatment. Factors such as the attitude of regulators, legal risks, and market liquidity can all affect the progress of ETF approval.
