TL;DR<\/p>\n
Investment firm 21Shares<\/strong> has filed<\/a> for approval<\/strong> with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on XRP<\/a><\/strong>, called the 21Shares Core XRP Trust<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This initiative aims to capitalize on interest in cryptocurrency-linked financial products and provide investors access to the XRP market through a regulated mechanism<\/strong>. The ETF would be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange<\/strong> and held in custody by Coinbase Custody Trust Company<\/strong>, a recognized custodian in the crypto industry.<\/p>\n Following 21Shares’ announcement, the value of XRP<\/a> rose by 1.6%,<\/strong> notably on a day when the broader market was trending down. Its market capitalization exceeded $29.3 billion<\/strong>, and volume increased by 35.5%<\/strong>, surpassing $1.3 billion.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Multiple firms have intensified competition to offer crypto ETFs in the U.S., particularly since the SEC approved the first ETFs of this kind in early 2024. In January, eleven spot Bitcoin ETFs<\/strong> entered the market, and shortly after, the SEC approved eight Ethereum ETFs<\/strong>.<\/p>\nXRP on the Rise<\/h3>\n
