XRP ETFs: Every Spot and Leveraged XRP Fund and How to Buy

An XRP ETF is a fund traded on a stock exchange that lets investors gain exposure to the price of XRP without holding the cryptocurrency directly. Most XRP ETFs now hold actual XRP tokens with regulated custodians, offering a regulated way to invest in XRP through a brokerage account.

XRP ETFs have given investors a new way to access XRP’s price movements without using a crypto exchange or wallet. With several spot and leveraged XRP ETFs now trading on major U.S. exchanges, understanding your options and the differences between funds is essential. This guide lists every approved XRP ETF, explains how they work, compares fees and structures, and shows you how to buy shares safely.

What is an XRP ETF and how does it work?

An XRP ETF is an exchange-traded fund that lets investors buy exposure to XRP’s price through a traditional brokerage account. The fund either holds actual XRP tokens (spot ETF) or tracks XRP’s price using futures contracts (futures ETF), and issues shares that trade on stock exchanges like the NYSE or Nasdaq.

Unlike buying XRP directly, holders of an XRP ETF do not own the underlying tokens or have access to on-chain transfers. Instead, the ETF’s price reflects the market value of XRP, minus any management fees. Shares can be bought or sold during regular market hours, and the ETF’s assets are held by regulated custodians to meet securities rules.

• Spot XRP ETF. Holds actual XRP tokens in custody and aims to match XRP’s price.
• Futures XRP ETF. Tracks XRP price using cash-settled futures contracts.
• No on-chain access. Investors cannot withdraw XRP from the ETF to a crypto wallet.

Which XRP ETFs are approved and trading in 2026?

As of November 2026, six U.S. spot XRP ETFs have been formally approved by the SEC and are trading on major exchanges. Each fund is managed by a different provider, with assets held in regulated custody and shares available to retail and institutional investors.

ETF Name	Ticker	Exchange	Expense Ratio	Launch Date
Bitwise XRP ETF	XRP	NYSE Arca	0.39%	Nov 2025
Canary Capital XRP ETF	XRPC	Nasdaq	0.29%	Nov 2025
21Shares XRP ETF	TOXR	Cboe BZX	0.59%	Dec 2025
Franklin Templeton XRP ETF	XRPZ	Cboe BZX	0.19%	Dec 2025
Grayscale XRP ETF	GXRP	NYSE Arca	0.65%	Jan 2026
REX-Osprey XRP ETF	XRPR	Cboe BZX	0.75%	Jan 2026

Some funds such as the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF also include XRP as part of a broader basket, but the above list covers pure spot XRP ETFs with direct XRP holdings.

What are the main types of XRP ETFs?

The main types of XRP ETFs are spot ETFs, which hold the cryptocurrency itself, and futures-based ETFs, which use derivatives to track XRP’s price. Investors should understand the differences in structure, risk and tracking accuracy.

	Spot XRP ETF	Futures XRP ETF
Underlying asset	Physical XRP tokens	XRP futures contracts
Tracking accuracy	High (minus fees)	Can diverge from spot price
Custody risk	Requires secure crypto custody	Relies on derivatives clearing
Availability (2026)	6 approved U.S. funds	Several pending or small funds

Leveraged and income-focused XRP ETFs have also been proposed, but most trading volume and assets are in the spot products.

Which XRP ETF is best for investors?

The best XRP ETF for an investor depends on factors such as fees, liquidity, tracking accuracy, and provider reputation. Lower expense ratios reduce long-term costs, while higher trading volume can make buying and selling shares easier.

ETF Name	Expense Ratio
Franklin Templeton XRPZ	0.19%
Canary Capital XRPC	0.29%
Bitwise XRP	0.39%
21Shares TOXR	0.59%
Grayscale GXRP	0.65%
REX-Osprey XRPR	0.75%

Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ and Canary Capital’s XRPC offer the lowest fees among spot XRP ETFs as of October 2026. Bitwise’s XRP ETF is also popular for its liquidity and early approval. Investors should also consider the fund’s size and daily trading volume.

How much XRP do ETFs hold and what is their market impact?

Spot XRP ETFs together held about 1.17 billion XRP and $1.74 billion in net assets as of 5 October 2026, representing roughly 1.19% of the total 100 billion XRP supply. These funds allow both retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to XRP through regulated channels.

	Total XRP Held	Assets (USD)	Share of XRP Supply
All spot ETFs	1.17B XRP	$1.74B	1.19%
Including Bitwise 10 Index	1.19B XRP	$1.77B	1.21%

XRP ETF inflows have at times led the crypto ETF market, with weekly additions such as $39 million reported in October 2026. However, market impact can vary with broader crypto sentiment and XRP’s own price action.

Are leveraged and income XRP ETFs available?

Leveraged XRP ETFs aim to amplify daily returns, such as offering 2x or 3x the daily price movement of XRP. As of November 2026, several leveraged XRP ETF proposals have been filed, but most are pending or have limited availability in the U.S. market.

• GraniteShares 3x Leveraged XRP ETF. Launch delayed until May 2026, with no major U.S. listing as of November 2026.
• Defiance ETFs. Filed for hourly-resetting leveraged XRP ETFs, but awaiting SEC decision.
• Income XRP ETFs. Some funds offer synthetic exposure or income strategies, but may not hold XRP directly. See This New XRP ETF Pays Monthly Income — But It Doesn’t Actually Hold XRP.

Most investors use spot XRP ETFs for direct exposure, as leveraged and synthetic products can carry higher fees, tracking error and risk.

How do you buy an XRP ETF?

To buy an XRP ETF, you need a brokerage account that offers access to U.S. stock exchanges such as NYSE Arca, Nasdaq or Cboe BZX. Once your account is funded, you can search for the ETF’s ticker symbol and place a buy order during market hours.

1. Open a brokerage account. Choose a platform that lists U.S. ETFs.
2. Search for the ETF. Enter the ticker symbol (e.g., XRPC, XRPZ, TOXR).
3. Place an order. Decide the number of shares and submit a market or limit order.
4. Monitor your investment. Track performance, fees and news.

You do not need a crypto wallet or exchange account to buy or sell XRP ETFs. For more on investing in crypto ETFs, see How To Invest Wisely in Crypto: ETFSwap (ETFS) Emerges As The Top Choice For Managing Spot Bitcoin ETFs.

What are the risks and limitations of XRP ETFs?

XRP ETFs carry risks beyond those of traditional stock or bond ETFs. Investors are exposed to the volatility of the XRP price, as well as risks related to crypto custody, regulatory changes, and tracking error between the ETF and the underlying asset.

• Price volatility. XRP can experience large price swings, affecting ETF value.
• Custody risk. The fund’s XRP holdings rely on secure storage with regulated custodians.
• Regulatory risk. SEC or other regulator actions can affect ETF operations or XRP’s legal status.
• No on-chain utility. ETF holders cannot use XRP for payments or transfers.

Expense ratios and trading spreads can also reduce returns over time. For a broader view of crypto ETF risks, see XRP ETF Ruling by SEC May Shape Future of Spot Crypto Funds.
