BlackRock’s approach to cryptocurrency remains focused on Bitcoin and Ethereum, with no current indication of support for an XRP exchange-traded fund. Despite growing interest and speculation within the XRP community, no official filings or public plans suggest that an XRP ETF is in development.
According to updates shared by XRP Investing on X, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has publicly referred to Bitcoin as a “flight to quality” asset, predicting that its long-term value could exceed $700,000.
However, XRP has not been mentioned in his remarks, which continues to fuel uncertainty about its future in BlackRock’s portfolio.

BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) is active and gaining institutional traction, while Ethereum is also progressing in the ETF space. However, XRP has no filings or preliminary indication of getting similar treatment.
BlackRock’s ETF wing is said to have announced that it has no plans to include altcoins at this point.
Therefore, there is no credible evidence to support claims of BlackRock allocating any part of its $9 trillion worth of assets under management to XRP. Such statements have been termed misleading. No paperwork links the asset manager to any direct investment in XRP.
No Institutional Moves Until Legal Clarity Emerges
Speculation about indirect ties to XRP through blockchain platforms or tokenized asset trials has not been confirmed. While some investors continue to point to broader blockchain adoption, BlackRock has not made any public statements linking those efforts to Ripple or XRP.
The firm’s strategy favors assets with clear regulatory standing. Until Ripple’s ongoing legal case with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is resolved, XRP remains outside BlackRock’s approved digital asset framework.
The company executives have stressed that its crypto attention is only restricted to the regulated, institution-ready assets. Hence, there is no XRP ETF prepared for review or to be launched soon. The firm’s crypto expansion is still Bitcoin and Ethereum-focused, even though Ripple fans are waiting to see more.
Ultimately, BlackRock has not made any concrete move to kick-start an XRP ETF. Without any filings, public statements, or regulatory guidance, the prospect of such a product is only speculative.
