If you thought waiting for the SEC was like watching grass grow, you weren’t alone. Well, hop on over to the NYSE because Bitwise just gave us a sliver of hope-Amendment No. 4, anyone? Yep, they dropped the big reveals: venue is the New York Stock Exchange and management fee is 0.34%! I’m not saying crypto’s finally going mainstream, but I am saying my Grandma could list an ETF if Bitwise’s team had her tenacity.
Bitwise’s Amendment: When Bureaucracy Meets Bedlam
On October 31, Bitwise filed Amendment No. 4 because apparently four amendments just feel fancier than one. The big reveals? NYSE as the venue (“because who doesn’t love tickers and Broadway?”) and a 0.34% fee. Eric Balchunas, that SEO-obsessed crypto oracle at Bloomberg, spilled his coffee over the keyboard praising it: “Bitwise checked nearly all boxes!”
Bitwise’s amendment reads like a grocery list: checkbox, NYSE, 0.34%. If this
increasingly bureaucratic ceremonymagical form doesn’t greenlight us, I’m vouching for monopoly money. – Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) Oct 31, 2025
Historically, when this dance is complete, the SEC nods and says, “Sure, why not?”-unless they’re over 5% caffeine, in which case they’ll drag it out for three more months.
The Great XRP ETF Race: Speed Dating for Brokers
James Seyffart, the crypto soothsayer at Bloomberg Intelligence, hinted that Bitwise’s “shorter language” (aka legalese for “we’re done”) could fast-track approval in 20 days. Meanwhile, VanEck, Fidelity, and Canary Funds are all Florida-ing it into submission. Canary even ditched their “delaying amendment” because apparently, they’ve had enough of bureaucratic limbo.
Side note: If the SEC clears this, XRP could hit $3 like it’s tryhard, but I’ll believe it when I see it-preferably after visiting my emergency escape plan (aka Cowell’s Twitter).
XRP Price Buzz: Hype or Hope?
XRP dipped to $2.51, the cryptocurrency equivalent of “I bought this in a sale.” Analysts say approval could make it 2023’s “I Told You So” token, but bull market Grandma’s baked ziti could throw it back to $2 any day. Let’s just say, if you’re betting on $3, pack a raincoat.
