A significant bet on Polymarket, titled &#8220;Ripple ETF approved in 2025,&#8221; has <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/polymarket.com\/event\/ripple-etf-approved-in-2025?tid=1739882901440\">surged<\/a><\/strong> to a 78% probability, indicating growing optimism about <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/xrp\/\">XRP\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> future prospects.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"456\" data-end=\"844\">XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $149.7 billion, is positioned strongly in the market. After <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/bitcoin\/\">Bitcoin<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a><\/strong> secured SEC approval for spot ETFs in 2024, many wonder if XRP could follow suit.

Balchunas and Seyffart place XRP&#8217;s chances of securing SEC approval at just 65%, with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/litecoin\/\">Litecoin<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/dogecoin\/\">Dogecoin<\/a><\/strong>, and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/cryptocurrency\/solana\/\">Solana<\/a><\/strong> being more likely candidates for approval in 2025.<\/p>\n<style>\n    .dark-mode .read-more {background-color: #343a40 !important;}\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"read-more pb-3 pt-3 pt-md-2 px-3 my-4 border bg-light\">\n    <h5 class=\"text-uppercase border-bottom mb-3 pb-1 d-none d-md-block\">READ MORE:<\/h5>\n    <a class=\"article row\" href=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/xrp-etf-approval-likely-to-take-time-says-bitwise-cio\/\" title=\"XRP ETF Approval Likely to Take Time, Says Bitwise CIO\">\n        <div class=\"contentRight col-4\">\n            <span class=\"imgContainer mt-0\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"image img-defer\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptodnes.bg\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/07\/610081dfa52a388b949f2cf0_602b06bd9b605542533de437_XRP20-20Ripple20-240x170.jpeg\">\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"contentLeft col-8\">\n            <h4 class=\"title mb-0\">XRP ETF Approval Likely to Take Time, Says Bitwise CIO<\/h4>           \n            \n        <\/div>        \n    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1594\" data-is-last-node=\"\">Their estimates suggest that Litecoin has a 90% chance of approval, followed by 75% for Dogecoin and 70% for Solana. However, market sentiment, reflected by Polymarket bets, doesn\u2019t fully align with these predictions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"846\" data-end=\"1594\" data-is-last-node=\"\">For instance, while the bet on a Litecoin ETF approval shows an 84% chance, it has a lower volume than the bet on XRP, indicating that confidence is stronger in XRP\u2019s case.
