21Shares Secures Approval for U.S. XRP ETF
The cryptocurrency market just witnessed a significant milestone — 21Shares has officially received regulatory clearance for its U.S. spot XRP ETF, set to launch on December 1st under the ticker TOXR on the Cboe BZX Exchange. This approval, obtained via the SEC’s Form 8-A, marks an important moment for crypto-focused investment opportunities and signals a surge in institutional interest in Ripple’s XRP.
Increased Appetite for XRPs Through ETFs
Investor appetite for cryptocurrency ETFs, particularly those tied to XRP, has been soaring. According to industry data, crypto ETFs have attracted an astonishing $666 million in inflows in less than a month. The debut of 21Shares’ XRP ETF allows investors to gain direct exposure to XRP pricing via the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate — all without the need to hold tokens.
The timing couldn’t be better; interest in XRP continues to rise, with existing XRP ETFs already pulling in significant inflows. Canary, for instance, saw the strongest inflow spike during its launch, followed by consistent growth showing no outflows so far. As of now, total assets under management in XRP funds exceed $687.81 million, showcasing strong market momentum and sustained investor confidence in Ripple-aligned products.
The Competitive Arena of XRP ETFs
With 21Shares entering the landscape, competition in the arena of XRP ETFs is escalating. The market already features several strong players such as the Canary XRP ETF, Teucrium’s 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, and Volatility Shares XRP ETF. Established firms like Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and ProShares are also looking to capture market share in this growing field. This competitive rush reflects a broader realization of XRP’s increasing institutional demand.
XRP: Ready for the Next Bullish Phase?
Despite a slight pullback in recent trading sessions, XRP has gained traction, most notably positioning itself as a leading altcoin amid a market rebound. Its price climbed 14% this week, hitting $2.20 and outpacing other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Experts suggest that ongoing demand for XRP ETFs could be a catalyst for Ripple to re-enter its bullish phase and potentially hit $5, echoing the remarkable rally witnessed in late 2024.
