Morgan Stanley Plunges $942 Million into XRP ETFs
Morgan Stanley's recent disclosure of its exposure to XRP through various exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has sent shockwaves throughout the cryptocurrency market. The investment giant's Form 13F filing revealed hefty stakes in a range of XRP ETFs, including the Franklin XRP ETF, REX-Osprey XRP ETF, and Bitwise XRP ETF.
This strategic diversity enables Morgan Stanley to tap into regulated digital assets without dealing with the complexities of direct cryptocurrency ownership. With an eye-catching 6,715 shares in the Franklin XRP ETF, Morgan Stanley is firmly embedding itself in the burgeoning world of XRP.
The rise of XRP ETFs marks a groundbreaking evolution in the way institutional players are engaging with cryptocurrency. As of mid-August 2026, U.S. spot XRP ETFs collectively boasted nearly $942.25 million in net assets, signaling a growing investor confidence despite ongoing market turmoil.
