According to Odaily Planet Daily, bets on a Ripple ETF approval in 2025 have surpassed $177,000 on Polymarket, with 99% of the bets currently voting "yes." Earlier, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated in a Bloomberg interview that approval of a spot XRP ETF was "inevitable," and predicted the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission would approve some or all pending applications by the end of the year. Companies such as Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and Canary have already submitted applications. He also predicted that XRP tokens would eventually become part of the U.S. government's crypto reserves.
