Crypto asset manager Bitwise has filed an initial registration statement with the U.S. SEC for an exchange-traded product for XRP tokens, as it seeks to introduce more crypto products after a landmark regulatory decision to approve spot bitcoin ETF earlier this year.

Bitwise's filing acknowledges the risk that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could win an appeal to reverse a court decision that would allow it to regulate XRP as a security.

Bitwise submitted an S-1 form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, a requirement for companies seeking to issue a new security and be listed on a public stock exchange.
