#XRPETF XRP ETFs are exchange-traded funds designed to track the price of XRP, allowing traders to gain exposure to its price movements without directly buying or managing the cryptocurrency. Here are some key points about XRP ETFs ¹:

- *What is an XRP ETF?*: An XRP ETF mirrors the price movements of XRP as closely as possible, typically by holding actual XRP or using derivative instruments tied to its value.

- *Benefits*: XRP ETFs could broaden institutional and retail participation by offering a regulated, traditional investment vehicle for XRP, potentially driving up demand and increasing liquidity.

- *Regulatory Challenges*: The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the US SEC over XRP's classification as a security presents regulatory uncertainty that may affect ETF approval.

Some recent developments include ²:

- *ProShares XRP ETFs*: ProShares is set to launch three XRP Futures ETFs on April 30, offering investors exposure to XRP price trends without holding the token directly.

- *Potential Approval*: XRP-spot ETF approvals may hinge on SEC appeal withdrawal and a favorable Ripple case settlement.

- *Price Outlook*: The near-term trajectory of XRP depends on factors like SEC appeal withdrawal, settlement terms, and progress toward XRP-spot ETF approvals.

*Current XRP Price*: XRP is currently trading at $2.23, with a 1.49% increase in the last 24 hours. Its market cap stands at $130.19 billion ³.
