Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, said he firmly believes BlackRock will eventually apply for a spot XRP ETF. Geraci pointed out in his recent comments that BlackRock has been leading the way in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, so there is no reason for it to give other companies a head start when it comes to XRP or Solana. He also expects BlackRock to launch an index crypto ETF. Notably, the industry commentator also recently said that the grey release Digital Large Cap Fund, which includes XRP, could be the next ETF to be approved. Geraci's recent comments follow a series of early predictions. Back in March 2025, he said BlackRock could file as soon as Ripple's legal battle with the SEC was over. At the time, he argued that major institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity would not want other companies to dominate the growing field of counterfeit products. At the same time, last month, he also highlighted a milestone that could support spot XRP ETFs: the launch of regulated XRP futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Geraci sees this as an important step in making an XRP ETF more likely, as futures contracts typically pave the way for spot ETF applications.
