XRP ETF Launch Marks Milestone for Cryptocurrency Regulation
This week marks a significant achievement in the world of cryptocurrency. REX Shares is set to debut its XRP spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), named REX-Osprey XRPR ETF.
The XRPR ETF will provide direct access to XRP tokens, along with cash, derivatives, and Treasuries. It’s noteworthy for being the first spot ETF offering exposure to XRP in the United States.
Previously,REX Shares partnered with Osprey Funds to bring a Solana + Staking ETF to market. This groundbreaking product allows investors to enjoy both Solana’s growth potential and its staking rewards through their brokerage accounts.
- REX-Osprey’s Solana + Staking ETF features the ticker SSK and launched in June 2025.
- A Dogecoin spot ETF is also on track to debut in the coming days.
In contrast to customary spot products, these ETFs adhere to stringent regulations, ensuring greater safety for investors. Yet, many crypto enthusiasts eagerly await the SEC’s approval for several other crypto ETF applications.
XRP, created by Ripple, has recently surged in value, trading above $3.00 and boasting a market cap of over $178 billion. This surge follows pivotal legal victories by Ripple against the SEC.
While the SEC has delayed decisions on various proposals, many anticipate final rulings on these ETF applications in October, following U.S. securities laws.
This proclamation reflects increased acceptance of cryptocurrencies within mainstream financial markets.
