While a DTCC List does not automatically mean you can start trading, it is a key preparatory step to launch. Futures ETFs such as UXRP, XRPI, XRPT and XXRP are available now, while spot funds such as TOXR, XRP, XRPC and XRPL are awaiting final approval.
Notably, the review process has stalled due to the October U.S. government shutdown, which froze more than a dozen altcoin ETF submissions, including those related to Solana, Dogecoin, and Cardano.
However, with Canary Capital removing the delay fixes and setting November 13 as the automatic effective date for its XRP ETF, analysts now expect trading to begin within days.
