- REX-Osprey has launched the XRPR fund, providing U.S. ETF investors with exposure to XRP for the first time.
- The XRPR fund recorded $37.7 million in trading volume on its first day, leading all 2025 ETF launches so far.
- XRP’s price has not yet reacted strongly to the fund’s debut, facing continued market challenges.
- Multiple applications for traditional spot XRP ETFs are still pending approval with U.S. regulators.
- Experts suggest that a spot XRP ETF approval could bring significant institutional investment and potentially drive the price past $5 if the trend follows previous ETF launches for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
REX-Osprey has launched the XRPR fund, giving U.S. investors a new way to gain exposure to XRP through an exchange-traded fund. The XRPR fund began trading in September 2025 as a regulated product, marking the first opportunity for U.S. ETF investors to invest in XRP, which had been long anticipated by market participants.
On the fund’s first day, Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas reported a trading volume of $37.7 million. This figure set a record as the highest day-one volume among all ETF launches in 2025, indicating strong initial interest from investors. Balchunas noted, “$XRPR traded $37.7m on Day One, which edges out $IVES for the biggest day one (natural) $ volume of any 2025 launch.”
Despite this significant debut, XRP’s price has not shown a substantial increase. The market for XRP remains weak, with slow recovery after broader market declines. Some analysts suggest that the lack of immediate price movement may be due to an overall bearish trend across digital assets.
Several other applications for traditional spot XRP ETFs remain under review with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A spot ETF would directly track the current market price of XRP. Previous ETF approvals for Bitcoin and Ethereum have resulted in major price rallies driven by institutional investment inflows.
Observers believe that approval of a spot XRP ETF could attract large-scale investors, similar to what was seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum. If this happens, it may help XRP reach the $5 mark, provided market conditions improve.
Institutional investment has played a crucial role in increasing the prices of major digital assets. The development of additional XRP-focused funds continues, and further regulatory approvals could add momentum.
