A recent Federal Register notice includes XRP alongside Bitcoin, Ether and Solana in its discussion of eligibility for certain Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The notice has attracted attention because it provides another regulatory development involving XRP and regulated investment products.
Crypto blockchain researcher BankXRP cited the document on X, highlighting the section in which the four digital assets appear together.

BankXRP wrote on X that the Federal Register had “just named XRP next to Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana” as a qualifying digital commodity for trust share listings.
The August 3, 2026 Federal Register notice concerns a Cboe BZX Exchange proposal involving its rules for Commodity-Based Trust Shares. The document cites Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and XRP as examples of eligible assets under the exchange’s generic listing standards.
The notice explains that these assets qualify under the relevant standards because each has a qualifying futures market and an exchange-traded fund providing at least 40% economic exposure. This makes the wording more specific than a general declaration that the four assets have received identical regulatory classifications.
For XRP, the reference is nevertheless notable because the asset appears explicitly alongside Bitcoin, Ether and Solana in the same discussion concerning eligibility for regulated trust structures.
The distinction between eligibility and approval remains important.
The Federal Register notice does not approve a new XRP ETF. Instead, it addresses proposed changes to the rules governing Commodity-Based Trust Shares and the conditions under which assets can satisfy the applicable listing standards.
The notice also discusses a proposed 15% buffer that could allow certain digital commodities that do not otherwise satisfy the generic requirements to be included under specified conditions. The existing eligibility language and the proposed changes therefore concern the structure of regulated investment products rather than establishing a blanket regulatory classification for XRP.
This also means the language should not be presented as an SEC ruling declaring XRP a security or non-security in every circumstance. The eligibility requirements for a particular trust product are a separate regulatory issue.
The Federal Register reference could become more consequential if issuers use the eligibility standards in future XRP-related trust filings and those products progress through the regulatory process.

BankXRP’s post focuses on the fact that XRP now appears alongside Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana in the Federal Register’s discussion of assets that satisfy the relevant eligibility requirements. That provides a concrete regulatory reference for discussions about XRP’s potential use in regulated investment products.
However, investors should distinguish this development from an actual product approval. A Federal Register notice establishing or discussing listing requirements does not automatically create an XRP ETF or guarantee a future XRP trust will receive approval.
The development remains relevant because it shows XRP appearing explicitly within the regulatory requirements governing Commodity-Based Trust Shares. Future filings and regulatory decisions will determine how that eligibility translates into actual investment products.
