REX-Osprey XRP ETF Surpasses $100 Million in AUM Amid Rising Institutional Demand

The first U.S.-listed exchange-traded fund (ETF) offering spot exposure to XRP, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR), has surpassed $100 million in assets under management (AUM) just a month after its September 2025 debut. Issuer REX-Osprey confirmed the milestone, positioning XRPR as a key indicator of investor confidence in XRP, currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization.

XRPR’s rapid ascent comes as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) delays rulings on several other spot XRP ETF applications due to a slowdown from the recent federal government shutdown. With regulatory approvals on hold, XRPR has become a benchmark for measuring U.S. market interest in XRP and institutional appetite for digital assets with real-world utility.

Globally, interest in XRP-based investment products continues to grow. The Hashed Nasdaq XRP (XRPH11)—the world’s first spot XRP ETF—has accumulated approximately 282 million Brazilian real (around $52 million) in total assets. This parallel momentum underscores XRP’s increasing traction among international and institutional investors.

Institutional engagement with XRP is also expanding through derivatives markets. The CME Group recently added XRP options to its product lineup after strong demand for its XRP futures. Since launching XRP and micro XRP futures in May, the exchange has reported more than 567,000 contracts traded, representing a notional volume of $26.9 billion.

Adding to XRP’s growing financial credibility, Evernorth, a treasury management firm planning to list on Nasdaq, has announced plans to hold XRP as a core reserve asset. This move highlights the cryptocurrency’s potential role in diversified corporate treasuries and reinforces its evolving status as a strategic digital asset in global finance.
