Canary Capital Files for XRP ETF Nasdaq Listing Approval

Canary Capital has filed a Form 8-A with the US SEC, potentially paving the way for an XRP-backed ETF to trade on Nasdaq. The filing initiates a regulatory process that could see this listing occur within days if there are no objections.

Nasdaq Listing Progress

  • The ETF is set to trade under the ticker XRPC upon Nasdaq's approval and completion of the regulatory waiting period.
  • A recent amendment removal from Canary's S-1 filing starts a 20-day countdown to activation unless the SEC intervenes.

Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg highlighted potential gains for the XRP ETF, suggesting it might surpass early performance metrics seen with Solana.
