XRP Moved First, the SEC Paperwork Caught Up Later $XRP rallied 7.7% after Bitwise filed an amended prospectus on Sept. 18, but the market reaction ran ahead of what the filing actually meant. The Bitwise XRP ETF was already trading on NYSE Arca under ticker XRP, so the document did not create a new fund or approve a fresh listing. Ten days later, on Sept. 28, the SEC issued the official Notice of Effectiveness for that amendment, and Bitwise filed the final 424B3 prospectus the same day. The sequence matters: the regulatory step that became effective was an update to an existing registration, not a new ETF launch. Nothing fundamental changed in the product structure either. The fund still directly holds XRP, keeps its 0.34% annual expense ratio, uses Coinbase Custody for the tokens and BNY Mellon for administrative functions. So the interesting part is not the SEC notice itself, but the market reaction around it. XRP gained 7.7% on a filing that was widely misread, showing how quickly regulatory headlines can move price even when the underlying product barely changes. #Ripple #XRP
