  • The SEC acknowledged Bitwise’s XRP ETF filing from Cboe BZX.


  • XRP ETF may disappoint due to weak revenue, poor institutional interest and heavy supply pressure.


  • XRP could suffer a major decline if it fails to bounce off a lower symmetrical triangle boundary.


Ripple's XRP is down 3% on Tuesday despite the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) acknowledgment of Bitwise XRP ETF. Unchained Crypto noted that XRP ETF could underperform due to key fundamental issues.


Bitwise XRP ETF receives SEC acknowledgment


In a filing on Tuesday, the SEC acknowledged the Cboe BZX Exchange XRP ETF application on behalf of asset manager Bitwise.


The filing notes that investors can comment on the application 21 days after it is published in the SEC's federal register. This action also opens a 240-day window at the end of which the SEC must decide whether to approve the products or not.


The SEC had previously acknowledged XRP ETF applications from Grayscale and 21Shares. WisdomTree and Canary Capital's applications are the only remaining ones the SEC has yet to acknowledge.


In a recent issue, Unchained Crypto noted that altcoin ETFs like XRP will likely underperform as institutional investors are still trying to "wrap their heads around" Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.


Additionally, from a valuation perspective, the XRP Ledger's revenue in 2024 was $1.15 million compared to over $1 billion in fees generated in Ethereum.

The issue also argued that Ripple Treasury's 4.485 billion XRP holdings with an additional 38.9 billion XRP in escrows could prove a huge selling pressure that may deter investors.


However, Bloomberg analysts James Seyfarrt and Eric Balchunas had predicted that XRP ETFs have a 65% chance of getting approved by the SEC amid the agency's ongoing legal battle with Ripple.


XRP could suffer a breakdown if a key symmetrical triangle support fails


XRP experienced $10.91 million in futures liquidations in the past 24 hours, per Coinglass data. The total amount of long and short liquidations accounted for $8.70 million and $2.21 million, respectively.


XRP has declined nearly 10% in the past three days following a rejection near the upper boundary of a symmetrical triangle pattern. The decline saw XRP crossing below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) and 14-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA).

The symmetrical triangle lower boundary line could provide support to initiate a bounce for XRP to tackle the $2.72 resistance. A firm extended decline below the triangle's support could signal a breakdown that could send XRP toward the $1.96 level if the support at $2.17 fails.


The Relative Strength Index (RSI) declined below its neutral level and is testing its moving average yellow line. A cross below the yellow line could heighten XRP's downward pressure. The Stochastic Oscillator also temporarily crossed below its neutral level, signaling dominant bearish momentum.


A daily candlestick close below $1.96 will invalidate the thesis
