Meanwhile, the good news about spot ETH ETFs triggered the discussion about XRP ETFs ambitions in the U.S.

Ripple's Strategic Initiatives Vice President Emi Yoshikawa highlights the importance of the upcoming event for Ripple's regional strategy:
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
As <a href="https://u.today/xrp-ledger-gets-south-korean-validator">covered</a> by U.Today previously, two weeks ago it was announced that the XRP Ledger blockchain onboarded a South Korean validator.
<h2 id="xrp-etf-coming-in-2024-2025">XRP ETF coming in 2024-2025?</h2>
Local infrastructure vendor Infinite Block started supporting the integrity of XRPL transaction validation this May.
The announcements arrived amid another phase of discussion about the potential of XRP ETF approval in the United States. As we reported yesterday, Standard Chartered banking major opined that XRP spot ETF might be approved as soon as in 2025.
Solana (SOL), another major altcoin, might receive its ETF by 2025 as well.
However, the exact timelines are still disputable as many altcoins are treated by the U.S. SEC as potential securities, which puts their ETF prospects in danger.
