Is An XRP ETF Filing Coming?"},"content":{"rendered":"
\n

The Ripple community is once again caught up in speculation after data showed a steep drop in Coinbase\u2019s XRP holdings<\/a>. Instead of seeing it as a sell-off, some commentators believe the decline could be linked to BlackRock quietly moving into position through Coinbase Custody. The rumors are persistent, even though BlackRock has already shot down earlier claims about a Spot XRP ETF filing. Nonetheless, this has left many to wonder if there\u2019s more happening behind the scenes than the company is willing to admit.<\/p>\n

Coinbase\u2019s Holdings And BlackRock Rumor<\/h2>\n

Recent on-chain data revealed that Coinbase\u2019s XRP stash has decreased drastically since the second quarter of 2025. This decrease has seen the amount of coins held by Coinbase fall from 780.13 million to about 199 million, with a 57% fall in August alone.<\/p>\n

Considering the scale of this decline, the movement has stirred up different rumors. Some investors are of the notion that these are actually intended sell-offs by Coinbase, while others are of the notion that they are only strategic transfers involving institutions. Crypto analyst Crypto X AiMan addressed the situation in a <\/a>video posted on the social media platform X, where he noted that Coinbase is not dumping the coin, despite claims circulating within the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the analyst, the reduction is more likely linked to BlackRock, and his team had previously highlighted multiple BlackRock-XRP connections. As such, he admonished investors not to interpret the drop in Coinbase\u2019s wallets as bearish but rather as a sign of shifting custody arrangements, possibly connected to the world\u2019s largest asset manager.<\/p>\n

BlackRock\u2019s Position On An XRP ETF<\/h2>\n

Comments about BlackRock\u2019s interest in the digital asset are growing louder each day, but it is worth noting that the company has already denied reports of filing for a Spot XRP ETF. A company spokesperson for BlackRock recently clarified that <\/a>no such product has been filed with the SEC.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the decrease in Coinbase\u2019s wallets coincides with recent developments involving BlackRock\u2019s partnership with Coinbase<\/a>, which suggests that an official move relating to a Spot XRP ETF could be in the works. Given BlackRock\u2019s embrace of other crypto ETFs, including Bitcoin and Ethereum<\/a>, it is only a matter of time before the altcoin joins the lineup.<\/p>\n

Although BlackRock has not confirmed any intentions, the rumors alone have increased interest among many holders, as shown by comments on social media. As many as eight other asset managers have filed for a Spot XRP ETF with the SEC<\/a>, and many investors are still anticipating that a formal filing might arrive sooner than expected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the connection between Coinbase\u2019s reduced holdings and BlackRock is speculative, but as the third-largest crypto by market cap, the idea of Spot XRP ETFs hitting the market soon should not be ruled out.<\/a><\/p>\n
