9-8-2025 – BlackRock has officially clarified it has no plans to launch ETFs for XRP or Solana, putting an end to widespread speculation that has circulated across crypto markets for months. The asset management giant confirmed its focus remains on Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF products, with no expansion into altcoin offerings planned.
The denial comes as various rumors have surfaced claiming BlackRock was preparing filings for XRP and SOL ETFs, including false reports of an April 2025 filing that the company previously confirmed as fake. Market observers noted no immediate changes in trading patterns for either XRP or SOL following the clarification, suggesting investors had already discounted the speculative reports.
BlackRock’s Chief Information Officer Samara Cohen previously indicated the firm was not interested in altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, reinforcing the company’s conservative approach to crypto ETF offerings. The clarification redirects attention toward infrastructure development and technical advancements in the crypto space rather than immediate financial products.
