XRP News Today: Clearer Regulations Propel XRP ETFs to $628M as the Asset Earns Greater Legitimacy

XRP ETF Market Sees Unprecedented Growth Led by Canary Capital

Canary Capital’s XRPC ETF has rapidly established itself as the leader in the XRP-focused exchange-traded fund sector, surpassing the combined inflows and investor attention of all other XRP ETFs. This surge in popularity comes on the heels of new institutional-grade products from top asset managers, such as Grayscale’s GXRP and Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ. Together, these new offerings brought in $164 million in net inflows at launch, raising the total assets managed by U.S.-listed XRP ETFs to $628 million across four funds. This development marks a significant milestone for XRP, which now boasts a market cap of $135 billion and is increasingly recognized as a regulated alternative asset.

The XRPC ETF alone drew $250 million in investments on its opening day, with trading volumes hitting $58 million—a clear sign of robust institutional interest, as noted by market analysts. This wave of activity has been fueled by greater regulatory certainty following the 2025 SEC vs. Ripple decision, which clarified that secondary-market XRP transactions are not considered securities. This legal clarity has encouraged banks and payment providers to integrate Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity solutions with fewer compliance concerns, further cementing XRP’s role in the global financial ecosystem, according to industry sources.

XRP’s price has responded positively to this institutional momentum. On November 25, 2025, XRP-USD climbed to $2.19, marking a 24% increase from its monthly low of $1.81, with ETF launches coinciding with a 7% daily jump in the spot market, based on recent market data. Futures open interest for XRP exceeded $4 billion in a 24-hour period, highlighting increased speculative and hedging activity. At the same time, daily trading volumes for XRP ETFs surpassed $6 billion, reversing a trend of persistent outflows that had previously affected the sector.

Key Factors Behind the Rise of XRP ETFs

• Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ stands out with a 0.2% fee that is waived until May 2026 for the first $5 billion in assets, making it one of the most cost-effective choices for investors.
• Grayscale’s GXRP and Bitwise’s offering have broadened investor access, but Canary Capital’s XRPC remains the top performer.
• XRPC’s success is largely attributed to targeted marketing and a focus on institutional investors, with an average of 603,670 shares traded daily, demonstrating strong liquidity and resilience even amid market volatility, according to financial analysts.

Future Outlook for XRP ETFs

Looking forward, the XRP ETF market is expected to follow the rapid expansion seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Projections indicate that total assets could reach $6.7 billion within the first year, provided that inflows remain steady and XRP maintains a price above $2.00—a key threshold for sustaining investor confidence. With major institutions like Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, and Canary Capital deepening their involvement, XRP is evolving from a cross-border payments solution into a fundamental asset within diversified digital investment portfolios.
