XRP vs Litecoin: Which Asset Will Get An Approval?

Considering the current state of the government, both these assets will likely garner a green signal. According to a Bloomberg analyst, the chances of a Litecoin ETF snagging approval from the SEC before Ripple’s XRP were higher. James Seyffart pointed out how the SEC continues to assert that XRP is a security, which might prevent ETFs based on the cryptocurrency from receiving clearance. He further adds that Ripple, the company that issues XRP, is still embroiled in a legal battle with the SEC. He added,

“There’s some more work that needs to be done on that front that doesn’t need to happen with something like Litecoin. The SEC has never called Litecoin a security so, I wouldn’t be surprised if you see Litecoin come first.”
