XRP ETF Launches in Brazil, Expanding Regulated Access for Investors
In a significant milestone for the global adoption of digital assets, Hashdex, a leading global crypto asset manager, announced the launch of XRPH11—described as the world’s first XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF)—on April 25 via the social media platform X. The new product, now listed on the Brazilian stock exchange, represents a major advancement in expanding regulated crypto investment opportunities in Brazil’s financial markets.
Hashdex emphasized the importance of this launch, stating:
> “Hashdex just launched XRPH11, providing investors with secure and regulated access to XRP—one of the leading crypto assets focused on fast, low-cost international payments.”
The XRPH11 launch marks the ninth crypto ETF introduced by Hashdex in Brazil and the firm's 33rd product offering globally. It further strengthens Hashdex’s strategic presence within Latin America’s growing crypto economy, a region increasingly characterized by regulatory clarity and enhanced investor protection. By capitalizing on these favorable dynamics, Hashdex aims to broaden the availability of accessible, compliant crypto investment products.
Reaffirming its long-term vision, Hashdex reiterated its commitment to expanding financial inclusion through digital assets:
> “We continue expanding access to the crypto economy, offering investors trusted, regulated, and efficient ways to participate in the future of finance.”
The firm also emphasized its broader mission:
> “At Hashdex, our mission remains clear: Democratize crypto investing through secure, accessible, and regulated products.”
This strategic vision aligns with a broader global trend of integrating digital assets into traditional financial systems, emphasizing both innovation and the safeguarding of investors.
Meanwhile, momentum is building around the potential approval of an XRP ETF in the United States. Following Ripple Labs' settlement of its longstanding lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a major regulatory obstacle has been removed. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently expressed confidence that an XRP ETF is "inevitable," citing rising institutional and retail interest. Optimism has been further fueled by the crypto-friendly stance of the Trump administration, with former President Donald Trump advocating for XRP’s inclusion in the U.S. government’s crypto reserve.
Adding to this momentum, CME Group has announced plans to launch XRP futures on May 19, signaling growing institutional demand for the asset. Although the SEC’s review process is ongoing, these developments strongly suggest that the introduction of an XRP ETF in the U.S. could soon become a reality.
