Since a few days, there has been quite an excitement and speculation within the crypto community after Blackrock CEO Larry Fink’s interview with FOX Business correspondent Charles Gasparino.
Fink’s Enigmatic Response
Charles Gasparino, a senior correspondent at FOX Business, specifically questioned Fink about BlackRock’s stance on launching an XRP ETF, especially since the firm has already sought approval for an Ethereum-centered ETF. When asked about that, Fink very intriguingly replies “I can’t talk about it.” Moreover, the response led to speculations among XRP fans who read this lack of a definite answer as an opportunity for discussion.
However, the response of Fink is looked at positively by the members of the XRP community. Fink’s reluctance to make a direct affirmative answer has been seen by many as an evasive tactic since her yes or no answer could impact that of the XRP market.
Valkyrie Executive’s Perspective
A senior member of Valkyrie, one of the firms sanctioned to list a Bitcoin ETF, previously gave hints that an XRP ETF might become available soon. Although the executive expressed doubts about Valkyrie filing for such an ETF, he pointed out that it was a realizable possibility due to the unpredictable financial market.
XRP Community’s Views
While people around the main XRP community are optimistic about one day seeing an XRP ETF as a happy thing, some cannot care less like Versan Aljarrah, founder or Black Swan Capitalist. Aljarrah contends that XRP is created to be a currency instead of an appropriate building block for an ETF because he sees crypto spot ETFs as mere distractions with possibilities of in-tractability into institutional corruption.
With the SEC’s recent nod to a Bitcoin spot ETF, the crypto market looks closely at what might happen in the ETF space. Larry Fink’s secret response has created a sense of intrigue and anticipation making the future for an XRP ETF seem still very possible.
Hot Take
In conclusion, Larry Fink’s elusive response to the question about an XRP ETF has generated speculation and anticipation within the crypto community. The ambiguity of his reply has been interpreted in different ways, with some seeing it as a positive sign for the possibility of an XRP ETF in the future. The views from the XRP community and Valkyrie Executive further add to the anticipation and hope for the potential availability of an XRP ETF.
