Crypto commentator, Kenny Nguyen, has stated that Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF will begin trading on Tuesday, November 18, at 9:30 a.m. ET and indicated the fund will use the ticker XRPZ.
The post included interactions from other users asking for the ticker and commenting on the implications for institutional adoption; one user asked directly what the ticker would be and was told it is XRPZ.
The timing Nguyen gave places the launch within the same week that other issuers began listing or launching their own spot XRP products, contributing to elevated market attention.

ETF Rollout Context
Franklin Templeton’s proposed XRP trust has appeared in preparatory listings and regulatory filings in recent weeks. This is a step that market participants commonly interpreted as preparation for an imminent public launch.
Industry records and DTCC listings show the Franklin XRP Trust under the ticker XRPZ, consistent with the information cited in social channels. The firm also amended its S-1 filing earlier in November, removing a contractual delay clause and thereby streamlining the path for the registration to become effective unless regulators intervene.
Market Context: Canary Capital's Debut and Investor Interest
The Franklin announcement follows Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF debut on November 13, which recorded significantly strong early trading volumes and was widely reported as one of the strongest ETF debuts of 2025.
Canary’s fund, listed as XRPC, registered substantial first-day and early-session volume figures that market commentators described as notable for a single-issuer launch, and those figures have been cited as setting a precedent for subsequent issuers’ launches. The Canary debut has heightened expectations for institutional flows into similar XRP products.
Impact and Immediate Outlook
Market observers note that multiple issuers’ appearance in DTCC and regulatory filings — including Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, and others — indicates coordinated preparatory activity across issuers and custodial infrastructure.
That coordination, together with Canary Capital’s high-volume debut, frames Franklin Templeton’s timing as part of a broader entry of spot XRP ETFs into U.S. markets rather than an isolated event.
The removal of the SEC delay provision from Franklin’s filing and the fund on DTCC’s systems is frequently cited as a technical indicator that a launch window is near. However, the start of trading remains subject to exchange listing procedures and regulator actions.
