- The U.S. SEC has approved 21Shares’ spot $XRP ETF for the U.S. market.
- The product will mirror the CME CF $XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, giving holders access to the value of $XRP.
21Shares has confirmed that its U.S. spot $XRP ETF will begin trading on Monday. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the launch through an 8-A filing that was filed on November 7.
As a result, it became automatically effective after the standard review period. The ETF will carry a 0.50% management fee and aims to raise $500,000 in initial capital under the ticker TOXR.
In terms of benchmark and structure, the ETF is specifically designed to track the spot price of $XRP using the CME CF $XRP–Dollar Reference Rate (XRPUSD_NY), calculated by a regulated benchmark provider. By doing so, investors can get direct exposure to $XRP’s spot price without the need to purchase, store, or manage the cryptocurrency.
Also, both retail and institutional investors gain exposure to $XRP through traditional brokerage accounts. This then makes entry into the market simpler, as $XRP joins Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
With the launch of 21Shares’ spot $XRP ETF, the firm now joins the ranks of major issuers in the U.S. cryptocurrency ETF space. This marks the fifth $XRP-focused ETF to debut in the U.S. market in just a matter of days, following recent listings from providers such as Grayscale and Franklin Templeton.
Grayscale’s GXRP saw inflows of $67.36 million, while Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ attracted $62.59 million. Earlier, the market also saw the launch of spot ETFs for other cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin (DOGE), Hedera (HBAR), and Litecoin (LTC).
