XRP-Based ETF Filings Gain Momentum

One of the most notable achievements Garlinghouse emphasized was the increasing number of XRP-based exchange-traded product (ETP) filings. He pointed out that during the fourth quarter of 2024, five different financial firms submitted applications for XRP ETPs in the United States. In early 2025, four additional companies followed suit, demonstrating the growing institutional interest in XRP investment products.

Ripple Launches RLUSD Stablecoin

Another major milestone was the introduction of Ripple USD (RLUSD) , a stablecoin launched by Ripple in December 2024. The product quickly gained traction, surpassing a $100 million market capitalization earlier this week. The release of RLUSD represents Ripple’s latest expansion into digital asset solutions, complementing its existing suite of financial products.

XRPL DEX Trading Volume Reaches $1 Billion

The XRP Ledger Decentralized Exchange (XRPL DEX) also experienced substantial growth in Q4 2024. According to the report, on-chain trading volume exceeded $1 billion during the quarter. This marks a significant increase in activity on the XRPL DEX and highlights the continued adoption of decentralized trading within the XRP ecosystem.

XRP’s Price Surge and Exchange Demand

The report further highlighted XRP’s strong price performance during the final months of 2024. Throughout Q4, XRP recorded a 280% increase, with demand surging on major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance, Upbit Korea, and Coinbase. The market report attributes this price growth to heightened trading activity and broader institutional interest in XRP.

SEC Leadership Change and Ripple’s Legal Battle

The report also touched on recent regulatory developments impacting Ripple and XRP. Meanwhile, SEC Chairman Gary Gensler resigned , returning to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology as a lecturer.

Following his departure, Acting Chairman Mark Uyeda took over leadership at the SEC, publicly acknowledging that Gensler’s tenure had led to regulatory uncertainty within the cryptocurrency industry.

Despite Gensler’s resignation, the SEC continued its legal battle against Ripple. Before stepping down, Gensler authorized the agency to file an opening brief in its appeal against court rulings that had previously been decided in Ripple’s favor. This latest appeal indicates that the long-running legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC is far from over.

With growing institutional interest in XRP, a successful stablecoin launch, and increasing activity on the XRPL DEX, Ripple continues to strengthen its position in the digital asset space. However, as the legal battle with the SEC persists, regulatory developments will remain a key factor influencing the company’s future trajectory.
