According to Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store, Franklin Templeton, an asset management company with a global management scale of over $1.5 trillion, has officially entered the XRP ETF competition.

ETF商店總裁Nate Geraci表示，全球管理量表超過1.5萬億美元的資產管理公司富蘭克林·鄧普頓（Franklin Templeton）正式參加了XRP ETF競爭。

According to the preliminary prospectus submitted on March 11, Franklin XRP Trust will issue Franklin XRP ETF fund shares, which mainly holds XRP held by the custodian on behalf of the fund, and aims to track the overall performance of XRP prices. Franklin Holdings, LLC will serve as the sponsor of the trust and fund, and Coinbase Custody Trust Company will serve as the custodian of XRP assets.

根據3月11日提交的初步招股說明書，富蘭克林XRP Trust將簽發富蘭克林XRP ETF基金股票，該股份主要由託管人代表該基金持有的XRP，並旨在跟踪XRP價格的整體績效。富蘭克林控股公司（Franklin Holdings，LLC）將擔任該信託和基金的讚助商，Coinbase Cancody Trust Company將擔任XRP資產的保管人。

The ETF fund will not be engaged in any active management of XRP or attempt to time the market. The value of the fund's shares will fluctuate with changes in the market price of XRP and other factors.

ETF基金將不會從事XRP的任何積極管理或嘗試計時市場。基金股票的價值將隨著XRP和其他因素的市場價格變化而波動。

In December last year, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rejected the application for an XRP spot ETF submitted by the ETC ETF provider. In January this year, the SEC reached a settlement with cryptocurrency exchange Binance over the sale of unregistered securities.

去年12月，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）拒絕了ETC ETF提供商提交的XRP現場ETF的申請。今年1月，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）達成了與加密貨幣交易所（Cryptocurrency Exchange Binance）有關出售未註冊證券的和解。

After the SEC chairman announced at a March 2024 meeting that the agency planned to review pending applications for bitcoin spot ETFs “shortly,” there were rumors that the SEC staff had recommended approval of several bitcoin spot ETF applications.

SEC主席在2024年3月的一次會議上宣布，該機構計劃審查對比特幣現場ETF的待處理申請，“很快”時，有傳言稱，SEC工作人員建議批准幾個比特幣現場ETF申請。

However, the SEC has postponed the approval of several cryptocurrency spot ETF applications, including Grayscale's application for a Cardano (ADA) spot ETF and Canary's application for a Litecoin (LTC) spot ETF.

但是，SEC已推遲了幾個加密貨幣現場應用程序的批准，包括Grayscale的Cardano（ADA）Spot ETF的應用和Canary的Litecoin（LTC）Spot ETF的應用。

Earlier news, Grayscale applied to convert its Bitcoin trust into an ETF in 2014, but the SEC refused. In June 2024, Grayscale sued the SEC for rejecting its application to launch a spot bitcoin ETF while approving several futures ETFs. In February this year, a U.S. court ruled that the SEC had acted arbitrarily in rejecting Grayscale's application for a spot bitcoin ETF and ordered the agency to review the application again.

早期新聞，Grayscale申請將其比特幣信託轉換為2014年的ETF，但SEC拒絕了。 2024年6月，格雷斯卡（Grayscale）起訴SEC拒絕其在批准多個期貨ETF的同時推出比特幣ETF的申請。今年2月，美國法院裁定，SEC在拒絕Grayscale申請現場比特幣ETF的申請中採取了任意行動，並命令該機構再次審查該申請。

After the court ruling, the SEC announced that it would review the applications for bitcoin spot ETFs submitted by Bitwise Invest and WisdomTree, and planned to make a decision by March 18. However, later news showed that the SEC had postponed the review of the two bitcoin spot ETF applications.

法院裁決後，SEC宣布將審查Bitwise Invest和WisdomTree提交的比特幣現場ETF的申請，併計劃在3月18日之前做出決定。但是，後來的新聞顯示，SEC已推遲對兩個比特幣現場ETF申請進行審查。
