Trillion-Dollar Manager Launches XRP ETF for Institutional Investors

A major asset manager overseeing $1.9 trillion is preparing to launch an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), enabling retirement and institutional investors who cannot hold XRP directly to gain exposure through a regulated product.

This ETF structure allows investors to buy shares representing XRP without managing wallets or crypto exchanges, making it compliant with mandates that restrict direct crypto custody. Experts note that while ETF inflows can boost demand, they do not guarantee price increases.

The entry of such a large retirement-focused firm signals growing institutional interest beyond crypto-native investors. The shift could bring more stable, long-term holders to the XRP market, changing its ownership dynamics.
