This development comes amid a wave of crypto ETF launches, with NYSE also approving Grayscale’s XRP and (DOGE) ETFs, under the tickers GXRP and GDOG.

The emergence of XRP spot ETFs is increasing the cryptocurrency’s visibility and accessibility within mainstream investment portfolios.

Market responses have varied. Although XRP ETFs are expected to enhance both liquidity and credibility, the token’s price has dropped by about 18% since November 1, according to CoinGecko. Experts attribute this decline to short-term profit-taking ahead of ETF launches rather than underlying weakness. Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, pointed out that institutional interest often leads to delayed price increases, referencing Bitcoin’s post-ETF performance as an example.

These approvals also reflect a broader trend of institutional adoption. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ ETF, with its fee waiver and custody arrangement (Coinbase as the main custodian), is well-positioned to attract substantial assets. The company’s reach across 13,000 advisory firms could help accelerate XRP’s mainstream acceptance, while Grayscale’s $35 billion in managed assets adds further legitimacy. Meanwhile, DOGE’s shift to an ETF format highlights its growing acceptance beyond its meme status, with derivatives trading volume rising 30% ahead of its launch.

As the U.S. crypto sector evolves, these ETFs serve as a link between speculative digital currencies and established financial systems. With XRP now available through regulated investment products, attention turns to inflow trends and sustained demand. For now, the NYSE’s recent approvals are seen by analysts as ushering in “the most significant growth phase for XRP.”
