Approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) could unleash billions in new capital into the cryptocurrency market. Institutional interest in XRP has surged, driven by the surge in REX-Osprey XRP ETF assets under management (AUM) that have surpassed $100 million just a month after launch. Experts believe this signifies growing demand for regulated and accessible XRP products. While regulatory delays have held back the process, analysts predict a breakthrough soon as the government shutdown concludes, potentially leading to an influx of investment for XRP and other crypto assets. Should regulators approve an XRP ETF, it would legitimize XRP as an investment vehicle for traditional investors, offering easy access to the cryptocurrency market.
