While several financial firms are racing to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), the biggest name in the room—BlackRock—is staying quiet. Despite 15 XRP ETF filings from firms like Grayscale, Bitwise, and even Canary Capital, BlackRock has made no move. But their silence may be more strategic than it seems.
An expert’s conversation with a BlackRock insider revealed two dates to watch: May 1 and June 9. The reason behind these dates remains under wraps, but there’s growing speculation that something major could be brewing.
BlackRock’s hesitation isn’t because they dislike XRP. According to industry whispers, it’s all about timing and leverage. By staying out of the current rush for XRP ETFs, BlackRock avoids the risk of rejection from the SEC. If others get denied, they escape the headlines. If approval comes later, they can jump in—well-prepared and with full force.
Some analysts suggest this is also a negotiation tactic. Behind the scenes, BlackRock could be pressuring Ripple—the company behind XRP—to strengthen its partnerships, improve institutional demand, and build strong custody solutions. That way, when BlackRock finally enters the game, they’re stepping into a market that’s ready for prime time.
If the SEC officially declares XRP a non-security, it could be a game-changer. Liquidity would surge, institutions could jump in without fear, and demand for an XRP ETF could skyrocket. And if that moment comes, BlackRock would be perfectly positioned to enter with a trusted product—perhaps even dominating the space.

The crypto market has taken a major hit on the heels of US President Donald Trump brandishing higher tariffs on countries.

Coinbase announced that it is delisting MOVE, which subsequently plunged over 16%. The exchange did not describe any specific reasoning for this action, leading community speculation to flourish.
New evidence alleges that Movement Labs was directly or indirectly involved in a market maker dumping 66 million MOVE tokens. Coinbase may have lost confidence in the project between those rumors and a delayed airdrop.
Although Coinbase has the well-documented ability to boost certain cryptoassets by listing them, the reverse is apparently also true. The exchange will suspend all MOVE trading in exactly two weeks, immediately causing the asset to plummet.
In addition to this 16% price drop, MOVE’s daily trading volume surged 130%. This suggests that MOVE holders are selling their assets after Coinbase’s delisting announcement.
This is a serious blow to Movement Network’s credibility and reputation. The project showed significant potential and even outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum during the Q1 2025 cycle. It also raised $100 million in VC funding earlier this year, backed by notable investors.
However, Coinbase’s delisting is not unfounded. Earlier today, Movement Labs announced that a planned airdrop was being delayed, helping spark frustration. That may have been the final straw for Coinbase, on top of pre-existing problems.
Specifically, Movement Labs claimed it would investigate an instance of potential fraud in mid-March. A market maker dumped 66 million MOVE tokens, triggering a sharp price drop.
New evidence has come to light, leading users to allege that Movement Labs was directly or indirectly complicit in these dealings. The company allegedly loaned 50% of MOVE’s supply to investment platform Web3Port, which proceeded to dump a large volume of tokens.
Based on these incidents, the community fears a repeat of MANTRA’s historic OM crash. Meanwhile, Movement Labs is backed by the Trump Family’s World Liberty Financial. The DeFi project holds more than 7 million MOVE tokens.
