Summarize with AI

Back in November last year, I wrote an article on what ChatGPT thinks about BlackRock launching a spot XRP ETF.

In it, the model argued that, although there was no current confirmation at the time, companies like BlackRock are increasingly showing interest in various digital assets.

So, what changed?

Spot XRP ETF Outlook in 2026

Spot XRP ETFs launched officially on November 13th, with the first one called XRPC by Canary Capital. Since then, four more companies have followed suit, and their current assets under management (as of January 9th) are:

  • Canary Capital (XRPC) – trades on NASDAQ, AUM at $375M
  • Bitwise (XRP) – trades on NYSE, AUM at $300MM
  • Franklin Templeton (XRPZ) – trades on NYSE, AUM at $279M
  • Grayscale (GXRP) – trades on NYSE, AUM at $271M
  • 21 Shares (TOXR) – trades on CBOE, AUM at $246M

That makes for a combined total assets under management of around $1.5 billion, showcasing clear demand for the product.

Moreover, data from SoSoValue shows that assets under management were almost constantly increasing until January 5th. There’s been a drop in net AUM of around $150 million since.

For reference, spot ETH ETFs, although much larger in absolute value, have been bleeding assets since October 2025. So, would BlackRock, given the current environment in the crypto industry, be more inclined to consider launching a spot XRP ETF?

Gemini Says the Likelihood is There

According to Google’s Gemini, there is a moderate to high likelihood that BlackRock will launch a spot XRP ETF later in 2026. The reason? Fear of missing out.

Gemini argues that, unlike previous years, the path for crypto is now clear.

“The regulatory blockers that previously kept conservative giants like BlackRock on the sidelines have largely been removed.”

The AI indicates that major competitors have already attracted over a billion in inflows, demonstrating that institutional demand is present.

Moreover, back in August, the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission effectively ended, clarifying that XRP is not a security when sold on secondary markets.

Moreover, ChatGPT itself also assigned a moderate chance of up to 50% for BlackRock to eventually launch a spot XRP ETF later in 2026.

Jose Mourinho Is Back. Can He Be The Special One Again?

The post Jose Mourinho Is Back. Can He Be The Special One Again? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho (L) holds up a Benfica jersey with his name together with Benfica president Rui Costa during his official presentation as new Benfica coach at the Benfica Campus training center in Seixal, on the outskirts of Lisbon, on September 18, 2025. Benfica sacked Portuguese coach Bruno Lage following their defeat to Qarabag on September 16, 2025 evening in the Champions League, and contacted Jose Mourinho the next day to hire him. (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA / AFP) (Photo by PATRICIA DE MELO MOREIRA/AFP via Getty Images) AFP via Getty Images Two decades after leaving Portugal with a Champions League winner medal in his pocket, Jose Mourinho is back in his home country. Benfica, Portugal’s most successful club, appointed the 62-year-old as their new manager on Thursday, just three weeks after he was fired by Turkish giants Fenerbahce after just over a year in charge. It marks an emotional return for Mourinho, who began his coaching career with the Lisbon giants in 2000, managing 11 matches before resigning. By the time he left Portugal for England just under four years later, his star was in the ascendency. As he introduced himself to the English media for the first time, Mourinho famously described himself as the “Special One”. It was a revealing remark, typical of a man whose confidence bordered on arrogance at times. Crucially, it was also borne out by results. In two seasons at Porto, Mourinho won two league titles, the UEFA Cup and the Champions League. Seven league titles across England, Italy and Spain with Chelsea, Inter Milan and Real Madrid followed, along with another Champions League crown and seven domestic cups across three countries. The Europa League and the Europa Conference League have also been added to Mourinho’s trophy cabinet, the former with…
