Notably, the new ETFs are futures-based and not spot products. The three new funds that will track the XRP Index are –
- Ultra XRP ETF: Offers 2x leveraged exposure to XRP’s daily price movements
- Short XRP ETF: Provides -1x inverse exposure
- Ultra Short XRP ETF: Delivers -2x inverse leverage
Just last week, the Chicago-based financial services company – the CME group, operating financial derivatives exchanges including the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Chicago Board of Trade, New York Mercantile Exchange, and The Commodity Exchange, added XRP futures to its exchange set for launch next month.
Industry experts and crypto enthusiasts have expressed optimism after XRP futures lunch.
“The SEC just approved an XRP Futures ETF — the first major domino to fall. A Spot XRP ETF could be next, unlocking real demand and sending prices soaring. $100 billion+ could soon flood into XRP… stay ahead,” said Armando Pantoja, a crypto investor since 2011.
