Could XRP ETF Approval Be Near? Ripple To Meet SEC Chair Paul Atkins On May 2


While the positive changes in the regulation of cryptocurrencies take place under the second administration of President Donald Trump, speculation accelerates concerning the potential approval of the SPOT XRP ETF applications.
This anticipation is fueled by significant changes to the American Securities and Exchange (SEC) commission, in particular the appointment of Paul Atkins As a new chair. Known for its pro-Crypto position, Atkins represents a gap in the rigorous regulatory environment established by former president Gary Gensler.
Speculation increases around ETF XRP applications
The calendar of possible approval from the ETF XRP is still ignited by the reports of a potential meeting between the executive president and co-founder of Ripple Labs Chris Larsen and the president of the Sec, Paul Atkins. Such discussions could pave the way for accelerated decisions on ETF XRP applications.

Current speculation for ETF XRP applications occurs in a more favorable environment for Ripple Labs, which has long pleaded for regulatory changes in the United States.
The previous administration was faced with criticisms for its application actions and prosecution targeting the main players in the cryptography sector, including Ripple Labs itself.
Since the resignation of peopleler on January 20, 2025, several proceedings against eminent companies like Coinbase, Robinhood, Uniswap Labs and Kraken have been abandonedmore easily soften regulatory pressures.
