TL;DR
- Ripple’s CEO reacted on social media to the ETF’s immediate success, calling it a victory after years of legal struggle.
- Early numbers suggest XRPC could become the most successful ETF debut of 2025.
- Analysts consider this milestone the “final nail in the coffin” for past administrations’ anti-crypto policies.
Digital asset history is writing a new chapter today, and the crypto community is the protagonist. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse used his social media accounts to express enthusiasm and celebrate the success of the launch of the first spot XRP ETF in the United States.
It is not just a financial formality; the executive’s few words carry the heavy weight of years of legal battles, recalling the fierce defense Ripple maintained against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to prove that XRP is not a security.
The product, trading under the ticker XRPC, shows explosive initial performance. According to early volume and capital flow data, the fund is shaping up to become the most successful ETF debut of all 2025, surpassing the expectations of the most optimistic analysts and validating institutional demand for the Ripple token.
A Final Blow to Anti-Crypto Policies
The importance of this launch of the first spot XRP ETF transcends the asset’s price; it symbolizes a regulatory paradigm shift. As reported by U.Today, respected ETF analyst Nate Geraci had previously predicted that the approval and debut of a pure spot XRP fund would represent “the final nail in the coffin” for the restrictive and anti-crypto policies enacted by previous SEC administrations.
Seeing the XRPC ticker on Wall Street trading screens is definitive vindication for Garlinghouse and the XRP community. It means the US market has finally accepted the asset’s legitimacy, opening the floodgates for broader adoption.
As investors monitor record inflows, the industry celebrates what appears to be the definitive closing of a chapter of regulatory uncertainty and the beginning of a phase of institutional maturity for the Ripple ecosystem.
