#XRPETF The **XRPETF** is a proposed exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would track the performance of **XRP**, the digital asset associated with Ripple. Unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs, an XRP ETF would allow investors to gain exposure to XRP's price movements without directly holding the cryptocurrency.

### **Key Points:**

- **Regulatory Hurdles:** XRP's legal status (especially the SEC's ongoing case against Ripple) could delay approval.

- **Market Demand:** If approved, it could attract institutional investors, boosting XRP's liquidity.

- **Global Interest:** Countries with clearer crypto regulations (like Canada or Europe) may launch an XRP ETF before the U.S.

- **Competition:** May follow Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs if crypto ETFs gain wider acceptance.

As of 2024, no XRP ETF exists, but speculation grows as Ripple's legal clarity improves.
