Canary Capitals XRP Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) got a green light from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) without so much as a second glance after the company filed a Form 8-A with the Commission on November 10th. That means the spot XRP ETF is up and running as of today, with early trading expected to kick off later this week under the ticker symbol XRPC on Nasdaq.
The ETF is set up to give folks a straightforward way to invest in XRP and is modelled on the XRP-USD CCIXber Reference Rate Index. The launch of the fund is a big deal for Ripple—many analysts are calling it a major regulatory victory, especially after the company’s past setbacks.
Steven McClurg, the CEO of Canary Capital, noted growing market interest, saying in a statement, “The XRP ETF could even double the initial success of Solana’s debut ETF,” which is a pretty bold prediction. The move is also part of a larger storyline for Canary Capital, following the company’s recent automatic approvals for its Litecoin and HBAR ETFs. It goes to show the company is really starting to make a name for itself in the digital asset investment product market.
ETF Features and Trading Details
Here are some key details to keep in mind about the Canary XRP ETF:
- 0.50% management fee – which is a bit higher than the Bitwise XRP ETF’s 0.34%
- Custodians: The fund will be managed by Gemini Trust Company and BitGo Trust Company
- Cash is held by U.S. Bank (which is an affiliate of the transfer agent)
- Administration of the fund will be handled by U.S. Bancorp Fund Services
- Marketing is being done by Paralel Distributors LLC
The trust filed an S-1 registration statement on October 24th which details the fund’s structure and objectives. All this is happening as the crypto market is starting to mature and institutional investors are becoming more interested in getting spot XRP exposure.
XRP Price Sees some Gains
Over the past week the price of XRP has surged nearly 10% as anticipation for the ETF’s launch has been building up and expectations for an end to the US government shutdown have risen too. Trading has picked up pace with a 40% increase in 24 hour volume.
Here are some numbers to look at:
- Price: $2.48
- The intraday range is between $2.46 and $2.58
- Open interest in futures has increased – up 3 to 12% on CME and Binance and up 12% to $4.07B for ETH futures
Despite the potential for some technical challenges, the ETF launch is going to be a good test for XRP – a “death cross” formation has been spotted on the 50- and 200-day SMAs but many people are still staying optimistic. Market watchers are keeping a close eye on derivatives activity – its a pretty clear sign that both institutional and retail traders are getting back into the market with renewed confidence.
