BlackRock has chosen not to launch XRP or other altcoin ETFs, concentrating instead on Bitcoin and Ethereum, which it views as more liquid and profitable. Industry experts consider this a risky move, but BlackRock prefers to wait until the XRP ETF market grows to a stable $3 billion in assets before entering. The company is allowing competitors to test the altcoin ETF waters first, aiming to capitalize later with its strong brand once the market matures. For now, BlackRock continues large-scale investments in BTC and ETH, prioritizing conservative investor demand and predictable returns.
