#XRPETFs
Types of XRP ETFs
Futures-Based XRP ETFs: These ETFs track the price of XRP futures contracts rather than the spot price of XRP itself. Investors can speculate on the future price movements of XRP without owning the actual tokens. Notably:
ProShares has received approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to launch three XRP futures ETFs, set to debut on April 30, 2025.

Spot XRP ETFs: These ETFs would directly track the current market price of XRP by holding the actual cryptocurrency. As of now, spot XRP ETFs are not available in the U.S., but:
Brazil has approved the world's first spot XRP ETF, which began trading on April 25, 2025. This development has sparked discussions about the potential for similar products in other markets.
