The post Ripple News: New U.S. Filing Targets 3x XRP ETF Amid Market Crash appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

A new filing has surfaced in the United States for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) linked to XRP, even as the cryptocurrency’s price continues to fall. The application, submitted by GraniteShares, seeks approval for leveraged XRP ETFs that offer 3x long and 3x short exposure to the token’s price.

GraniteShares already offers similar leveraged products for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. The move signals that institutional interest in XRP exposure remains alive, even as regulatory uncertainty and price weakness persist.

Market Slump Overshadows ETF Optimism

At the time of writing, XRP has dropped below $2.90, sliding to the fifth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.The broader crypto market is also in decline, with Bitcoin and Ethereum both turning red.

Many expected October to be a landmark month for XRP, with excitement surrounding ETF approvals and the end of a prolonged regulatory battle. However, the U.S. government shutdown has temporarily paused the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) approval process for all new ETFs, delaying key decisions and cooling investor excitement.

Attorney’s Take: ‘Every Reason to Panic‘

Reacting to the GraniteShares filing, attorney and XRP supporter Bill Morgan offered a sarcastic take on the market’s reaction, saying, “I will continue panic buying XRP in the face of this terrible XRP ETF demand.” He added that the filing itself reinforces XRP’s place among the top four cryptocurrencies—alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, excluding stablecoins and exchange tokens.

Uncertain Path Ahead for XRP ETFs

The ETF proposal comes at a time of frustration among XRP holders. Recent administrative delays, combined with the SEC’s introduction of new filing standards, have effectively reset earlier approval timelines. Many proposals, including those related to Litecoin and Solana, now face indefinite extensions.

Still, the GraniteShares filing keeps XRP in the institutional spotlight. Despite market turbulence and halted approvals, the ongoing push for leveraged XRP ETFs mean that large players continue to see value in the asset’s future performance.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
