 <p class="paragraph">After news of BlackRock’s exchange-traded fund (ETF) filling broke out, XRP‘s (XRP) value <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="spike" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/spike.html">spike</a>d by 10%, albeit shortly, before returning to its previous valuation.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">It turned out that the filing of iShares ETF initially believed to be by BlackRock, was fake, with a submission made to the Delaware Divisions of Corporations and published on their website.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">The fake filing included information consistent with the company’s previous filings, such as the registered agent’s name and address. While resembling earlier ETF filings for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), this one specifically mentioned XRP.</p>

 <p class="paragraph">The listing raised doubts about claims of its falsity, as one would expect a fraudulent filing to have been removed promptly.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Moreover, the application process for such filings demands stringent verification protocols. This includes the requirement of two notarized witnesses and the obligatory signature of the Grantor on the documents.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Additionally, registered agents are mandated to verify the client’s identity thoroughly before agreeing to represent them in the filing process. These rigorous procedures initially blended weight to the argument favoring the filing’s authenticity.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Yet, these claims were disputed by BlackRock to ETF analyst for <em>Bloomberg</em> Eric Balchunas on November 13.</p>
