XRP ETF Approval Odds Plunge. Top Bloomberg Analyst Says It’s Overreaction
However, according to Eric Balchunas, senior exchange-traded fund (ETF) analyst for Bloomberg, this is an overreaction
Bloomberg experts have so far refrained from changing their approval odds for an XRP ETF, maintaining them at 95%
"Outnumbered"
The plunge in the Polymarket occurred after it transpired that Democratic Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw voted against each of the 13 initiatives related to crypto ETFs on July 29. Crenshaw was the only "no" vote in each case, with Chairman Paul Atkins and Republican Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda always voting in favor
Balchunas remains optimistic about XRP approval odds since Crenshaw, a strong crypto critic, is expected to vote against crypto ETFs, given that she also opposed the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
However, the leading Bloomberg expert argues that her opposition is essentially meaningless since Crenshaw is a lone anti-crypto commissioner who will always get outnumbered
Crenshaw’s criticism of Ripple settlement
As reported by U.Today, Crenshaw previously criticized the SEC's decision to reach a settlement with Ripple
The SEC commissioner argued that the SEC was actually "worried" that it could win its appeal against Ripple
The settlement was then rejected by the judge, and Ripple then moved to drop its cross-appeal against the SEC. It is worth noting that the SEC has yet to reciprocate
