According to Matt Hougan, after attending a leading advisory firm’s annual conference, the 'big unlock' for financial advisors is progressing rapidly, with expectations that every major advisory firm will enable crypto ETP investments by year-end. This development signals significant institutional adoption and increased liquidity in the crypto market, potentially leading to higher inflows and volatility as advisors and their clients gain streamlined access to regulated crypto products. Such shifts are poised to impact trading dynamics for popular cryptocurrencies and related ETPs. (Source: Matt Hougan on Twitter, May 14, 2025)

According to Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, after consulting with ETF expert James Seyffart (@JSeyff), traders should note that all current dates for crypto ETP decisions are intermediate, with final approvals likely clustered in Q4 2025. Specifically for the XRP spot ETF, Seyffart highlights mid-October, around the 18th, as the key deadline for a final SEC decision. This timeline is critical for XRP traders and investors, as ETF approval or denial could significantly impact XRP market volatility and liquidity in the lead-up to and following the decision date (Source: Eleanor Terrett on Twitter, April 29, 2025).

According to Crypto Rover, Franklin Templeton, a $1.5 trillion asset manager, is considering offering Bitcoin and cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) in Europe. This development is seen as highly bullish for the cryptocurrency market as institutional interest signals potential inflows and increased market acceptance.
