<p>A recent tweet from Fox Business senior reporter Charles Gasparino reveals a significant decision by global investment giant <a href="https://coinpedia.org/price-analysis/bitcoins-rollercoaster-ride-the-dramatic-turn-of-events-post-etf-approval/">BlackRock</a>. Despite being a key player in <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/weekly-spot-bitcoin-etf-report-insights-after-its-first-trading-week/">spot Bitcoin ETFs</a>, BlackRock has made it clear that a spot XRP ETF is not on their agenda. </p> 
<p>This move comes at a critical time as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) continues to battle with Ripple in the courts, which further complicates the situation. </p> 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-s-outlook-remains-positive">Ripple’s Outlook Remains Positive…</h2> 
<p>During a recent CNBC interview, Ripple’s CEO, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-ceo-brad-garlinghouse-advocates-for-regulatory-clarity-and-blockchain-adoption-at-wef/">Brad Garlinghouse</a>, hinted at significant moves for 2024. Garlinghouse brought up potential groundbreaking developments for both the crypto industry and the firm. </p> 
<p>This follows Ripple’s legal victory, where the court ruled that XRP isn’t an investment contract, marking the defeat of SEC in trying to prove it as a security.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However,<a href="https://x.com/CGasparino/status/1747978469382725773?s=20"> BlackRock’s</a> decision not to focus on launching a spot XRP ETF corresponds with the prevailing market sentiment around XRP. Technical analyst Ali Martinez highlighted the XRP’s struggle to <a href="https://x.com/ali_charts/status/1747969365733933179?s=20">maintain support at $0.55.</a> A breach below this level could trigger a potential sell-off, potentially driving XRP to $0.34. </p>

<p>Maybe because of such volatility and risk factors, BlackRock is still taking time to consider launching XRP ETFs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With the fate of XRP hanging in the balance, it’s clear that industry giants are taking a measured approach, carefully assessing risks and rewards before revealing their strategic moves.</p>
