Updated: Dec 31 2025- Regulatory Confirmation: Roundhill's amendment for the XRP Covered Call Strategy ETF confirms XRP's acceptance in regulated derivatives markets, marking its compliance status for institutional products.

- Market Impact: Covered call ETFs typically launch after an asset has received legal and compliance approval, indicating that XRP is now viewed as suitable for institutional strategies, potentially attracting more investor interest.
- Strategic Significance: While this filing does not equate to spot ETF approval, it suggests that XRP is gradually entering the institutional investor landscape, potentially paving the way for future product launches.
