On October 25, 2025, the first U.S. spot XRP exchange-traded fund surpasses $100 million in assets under management.

As a spot vehicle tied to XRP, the fund’s assets exceed the nine-figure threshold, signaling demand for exposure to the token through an ETF wrapper. The fund’s AUM crossing above $100 million marks a notable scale point for a U.S.-based spot XRP product.
