🔘XRP fell 10% as renewed regulatory uncertainty overshadowed ETF optimism.

🔘XRP's call-put skew shows fears of an extended price drop.

XRP's (XRP) options market shows a greater risk of an extended price decline than renewed gains as renewed regulatory uncertainty overshadows Bitwise's ETF filing and weighs over the cryptocurrency's price.

On Monday, asset manager Bitwise submitted an S-1 form to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), filing for an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would invest in XRP. Bitcoin and ether spot ETFs, which debuted in the U.S. early this year, have pulled in billions of dollars in investor money.

However, to the dismay of XRP bulls, Bitwise's action was quickly followed by the SEC filing a notice of appeal to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, pushing back against Judge Analisa Torres's two-month-old ruling that fintech company Ripple Labs did not violate programmatic sales to retail exchanges did not violate securities rules.
