For years, investors have waited for a regulated vehicle that could provide direct exposure to XRP without the complexities of self-custody or offshore instruments. That moment has now arrived.
The first spot XRP exchange-traded fund, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (ticker: XRPR), is officially live on the Cboe BZX Exchange, offering structured access to the digital asset within a U.S. framework.
A New Pathway for XRP Market Participation
Rex Shares announced the fund’s debut on its official channels, describing it as a vehicle that “delivers spot XRP exposure by holding ~60% XRP and ~40% physically backed non-U.S. XRP ETPs.”
The firm emphasized that XRPR provides “real spot exposure in an ETF structure,” positioning it as a hybrid between direct crypto holding and traditional fund management.

The XRPR ETF began trading on September 18, and has quickly drawn strong investor interest. As of October 23, the fund held approximately $113.5 million in total assets, with net asset value near $21.51 per share.
Current market data shows XRPR trading around $19.61, with intraday highs reaching $20.71. The fund’s daily volume sits at almost 340,000 shares, signaling robust liquidity for a newly launched crypto-linked security.
Why the ETF’s Launch Matters for XRP
XRPR’s arrival is more than a new financial product, as it represents the formal recognition of XRP’s viability as an investable digital asset in regulated markets. The fund saw $24 million of trading activity just 90 minutes after its launch, showing the market’s desire for spot XRP ETF products.
For institutional investors, it removes the barriers associated with custody, exchange onboarding, and security compliance. For retail investors, it provides an alternative to direct crypto ownership through standard brokerage accounts.
The success of the ETF’s first month highlights rising institutional confidence. Accumulating over $113 million in assets so soon after launch places XRPR among the fastest-growing crypto-linked funds introduced in 2025. Its performance also indicates strong market demand for XRP exposure within traditional investment vehicles, reinforcing the token’s growing utility and acceptance in financial infrastructure.
Expanding the Scope of XRP Integration
As digital asset adoption accelerates globally, XRPR’s launch reflects a broader trend of token-based assets entering conventional markets. While the fund does not eliminate XRP’s price volatility or regulatory uncertainties, it demonstrates progress toward deeper integration between blockchain technology and institutional finance.
By bridging on-chain exposure with regulated access, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF establishes a precedent for how XRP can evolve from a speculative token into a recognized investment asset within the U.S. market.
