A major step in the crypto-ETF race just came into view. Canary Capital filed an updated S-1 removing the delay clause that had allowed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to stall registration, setting up a potential November 13 2025, launch date for a spot XRP ETF.
With the revised filing now in play, the fund could go live automatically if the SEC doesn’t step in and the exchange (most likely Nasdaq) signs off by filing Form 8-A. If that happens, institutional investors would get regulated, brokerage-friendly access to XRP. That kind of shift could unlock fresh capital, and it may also shine a light on other platforms, such as Stellar and Remittix, as similar assets attract attention in the wake of the move.
XRP Riding the ETF Wave: Implications for XLM (Stellar)
With XRP’s ETF prospects heating up, the ripple (pun intended) effects extend beyond XRP itself:
- For XRP, institutional access could unlock larger buy-side allocations, reduce “retail-only” risk, and provide deeper liquidity. Technically, XRP is consolidating around $2.50–$2.60, with breakout potential if ETF momentum kicks in.
- While XLM itself isn’t the core of the ETF news, a broader institutional shift toward regulated crypto products raises the bar for other tokens, such as XLM. According to recent data, XLM is trading near $0.2975; however, volumes are muted, and institutional traction remains limited.
If XRP’s ETF launches and succeeds, it could serve as a template or confidence booster for alternative networks offering similar utilities (payments, settlement, cross-border flows). XLM must show renewed institutional flows or partnerships to stay relevant in that narrative.
Where Remittix Enters the Story
Here’s where the payments infrastructure angle comes in: While XRP and XLM focus on network utility (XRP on settlement/bridging; XLM on payments/asset tokenisation), Remittix (RTX) is building a crypto-to-fiat payments network that taps directly into the cross-border payments market, enabling users to send crypto, convert to fiat and settle into bank accounts worldwide.
With the backdrop of an XRP ETF potentially boosting institutional and mainstream crypto literacy, Remittix’s positioning becomes more relevant:
- As regulatory access improves, more funds and users may look beyond just owning tokens and toward using them or using services that integrate them with fiat banks.
- If XRP’s ETF proves successful, it may help push crypto into more institutionally friendly territory, which in turn supports infrastructure plays like Remittix.
In short: XRP’s ETF launch isn’t just a win for XRP; it signals institutional crypto getting closer to traditional finance. That matters for networks and platforms (like Remittix) that aim to sit at the bridge between crypto and fiat.
The Comparison: XRP vs XLM vs RTX
The potential November 13 launch of a spot XRP ETF by Canary Capital is more than just a milestone for XRP; it could signal a broader shift in how institutions and the mainstream finance sector access crypto assets. For XRP, that’s obvious. For XLM, it’s a sign that the bar is rising: utility alone may not be enough unless flows and adoption follow.
For Remittix, the narrative is different but aligned; as crypto becomes more institutionalised and integrated with fiat flows, the networks that connect crypto to traditional banking and payments may quietly become part of the next wave. In other words: If XRP opens the door, watch how others move through it, and where they go next.
