21Shares, a leading issuer of crypto exchange-traded products, has received automatic approval for its XRP ETF from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The ETF, which will trade under the ticker symbol “TOXR,” is set to begin trading on the Cboe BXZ Exchange next week, pending final certification.

This was approved following the filing of Form 8-A by 21Shares with the SEC. This filing enables the company to circumvent the standard review process. 21Shares filed its Form S-1 on November 7, which was accelerated under the provisions of the post-government shutdown guidelines of the SEC. Cboe BZX Exchange has also granted the ETF a listing, and it shall start trading after it is certified.

The management fee of the 21Shares XRP ETF is yet to be revealed. Nevertheless, a number of other companies have already announced their charges. The XRP ETF (XRPZ) of Franklin Templeton has the lowest fee of 0.19%. 

The XRP ETF provided by Bitwise started trading at the NYSE Arca Exchange on November 20. XRP ETFs provided by Grayscale and Franklin Templeton will be released next week.

The main aim of the 21Shares XRP ETF is to provide exposure to XRP by tracking its spot prices. It will be based on the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate pricing standard. ETF custody will be handled by Coinbase Custody, Anchorage Digital Bank, and BitGo Trust. The cash custodian, administrator, and transfer agent of the trust will be BNY Mellon.
