The activity places XRPC among the top-performing ETFs of 2025, far ahead of most of the roughly 900 funds launched this year.<\/p>\n<p>The fund\u2019s debut came amid a shaky crypto market, with Bitcoin dipping below $99,000 and total market capitalization falling about 3.5% to $3.43 trillion. Yet trading in XRPC was robust, with $26 million exchanged in the first 30 minutes and over $36 million by mid-morning, including rapid transactions on Robinhood.<\/p>\n<p>XRPC is a physical spot ETF holding only XRP, tracking the token\u2019s price via the CME CF XRP-USD Reference Rate. The fund carries a 0.50% annual fee and uses Gemini Trust and BitGo Trust for custody. <\/p>\n<p>Canary Capital, a Tennessee-based digital asset firm with prior Bitcoin, Ethereum, and HBAR ETFs, positions XRPC as a convenient way for institutions to access XRP\u2019s utility in cross-border payments without managing wallets or custody. Analysts note that demand for payment-linked tokens is rising, as reflected in Canary\u2019s HBAR ETF raising $70 million in its first week.<\/p>\n<p>At last check, XRP was trading at around $2.10, down 5.4% for the day.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">CoinGecko<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple\u2019s XRP Ledger is reportedly undergoing a strategic shift amid calls from the community for native staking capabilities.
