XRP ETF News: First U.S. Spot of Rpple Linked ETF Could Go Live on Thursday
Summary
Canary Funds' XRP Trust is poised to become the first pure spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States, following its Form 8-A filing with the SEC on Tuesday. This filing signals readiness for trading, with Nasdaq certification expected by Wednesday evening, clearing the way for a potential Thursday market open. Unlike structures offering partial exposure, this ETF will provide direct, one-to-one spot XRP backing under the Securities Act of 1933. A successful launch is anticipated to expand XRP's liquidity and potentially attract registered investment advisers, marking a significant milestone for Ripple's ecosystem nearly two years after spot Bitcoin ETFs debuted.
