2025 is turning into a defining year for $XRP, as institutional interest in the token reaches new heights. From major ETF inflows to fresh derivatives listings, $XRP is finally gaining the kind of attention once reserved for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Two major developments, the first U.S. spot $XRP ETF crossing a major milestone and the launch of $XRP options on CME, are clear signs of growing demand.
$XRP ETF Crosses $100 Million Milestone
Just months after its launch, the XRPR ETF broke above $100 million in AUM as net inflows surged through October. For $XRP, this is more than just a number, it marks a major step toward mainstream adoption.
The fund’s managing firm, REX-Osprey, reported that nearly 40% of the current AUM originated from institutional portfolios, including hedge funds, family offices, and registered investment advisors. This places $XRPR among the top-performing spot crypto ETFs for Q4 2025
CME Group: Derivatives Signal Deep Institutional Demand
Adding to the momentum, CME Group, one of the world’s largest derivatives exchanges, has flagged a spike in open interest and trading volume in its newly-launched $XRP futures contracts.
This follows the strong performance of its futures market since it launched in May, which has already seen more than 567,000 contracts traded, representing over $26.9 billion in notional volume.
CME said the growing activity shows rising confidence in $XRP’s long-term potential as a digital asset with real-world use cases.
Ripple’s Progress Boost Confidence In $XRP
Ripple’s recent regulatory wins have opened doors for more institutional investment in $XRP. CEO Brad Garlinghouse reaffirmed that $XRP remains central to Ripple’s plans after acquiring Hidden Road, now called Ripple Prime.
The market responded positively, with $XRP rising over 5.4% in the past 24 hours to trade around $2.57 amid higher trading volumes.
