And yet, despite the price pullback, investor interest has been strong, with multiple XRP-linked funds, including the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, Volatility Shares XRP ETF, Rex-Osprey XRP ETF, Volatility Shares 2x XRP ETF, ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, Purpose XRP ETF, and Canary XRP ETF, going live as per The Block ETF tracker.
Additionally, Bitwise Asset Management has also launched its Apot XRP ETF on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker XRP, with a 0.34% fee waived for the first month on the first $500 million in assets.
With 21Shares entering the market and major issuers like Bitwise and Franklin Templeton already securing listings, the outlook for XRP ETFs is rapidly strengthening too.
Even amid short-term price weakness, institutional participation and expanding product portfolios point to growing demand for regulated XRP exposure.
