🇺🇸📈📉 XRP against BTC and ETH❗❗ | Why aren't things moving in futures the same way?
🚨🏮People are asking: Why did the price of XRP collapse after its launch on the CME futures exchange? While Bitcoin BTC and Ethereum ETH remain stable or rise❓❓
🏮🏮And here is the answer:
♦️BTC and ETH: Transparent and priced ♦️They are primarily traded in open markets ♦️We already have exchange-traded funds in futures and spot ♦️Institutions disclose their holdings ♦️Whales operate in public, not in the shadows
♦️XRP: Infrastructure led by the shadows ♦️There are no spot exchange-traded funds in the United States (yet) → lower retail pressure ♦️Institutional volume flows through over-the-counter trading desks ♦️Accumulation is hidden in dark pools ♦️On-chain movements are fragmented and delayed ♦️Often used in systems, not just in speculation
🏮♦️Price ≠ adoption. What you see is the delay, not denial.
🏮🏮XRP moves in silence. BTC and ETH move in supply.
🏮🏮A different vision. The same institutional goal.

Short-Term Outlook (Next 3-6 Months) Brazil’s ETF Performance The success of #Brazil’s ETF will be a key indicator. If it pulls in significant investments—like the billions seen with U.S. Bitcoin ETFs—it could spark more global interest. But there’s a cautionary tale: #Brazil’s $Solana ETF hasn’t taken off as hoped. If XRP’s ETF follows suit, momentum could stall. Price Impact Expect some volatility. The initial hype might push XRP higher, but a pullback to support levels around $2.50-$2.60 isn’t out of the question if broader crypto markets stay shaky. On the flip side, steady inflows into the ETF could keep prices buoyant. U.S. Watch In the U.S., companies like Bitwise and Grayscale have filed for spot #XRP #ETFs. The SEC has 240 days to decide, and with a more crypto-friendly vibe under the Trump administration, approval odds are pegged at 65% by Bloomberg analysts. Prediction markets like Polymarket even give it a 73-80% chance by 2025. A U.S. green light would be massive. Medium-Term Outlook (Next 12-18 Months) Global Ripple Effect If Brazil’s ETF performs well, countries like Canada or Switzerland, known for progressive crypto rules, might launch their own XRP ETFs. This could create a wave of adoption. Brazil’s crypto ETF market is small (just 0.9% globally), so the real game-changer will be bigger markets jumping in. U.S. Approval A U.S. spot XRP ETF would unlock billions in institutional money. JPMorgan estimates global XRP ETF investments could hit $8 billion if the U.S. joins the party. Price predictions? Some analysts see XRP climbing to $5 or higher with U.S. approval, driven by demand and liquidity. Ripple’s Boost Ripple’s legal fight with the SEC wrapped up with a $50 million settlement, clearing some clouds. Plus, their plan to launch a stablecoin on the XRP Ledger could make the ecosystem more attractive, supporting ETF growth. Long-Term Potential (Beyond 2025) Mainstream Status: Widespread XRP ETFs could cement XRP as a go-to investment, much like Bitcoin. Wild forecasts based on Elliott Wave theory even suggest $18.22 down the road if adoption soars. Stable Growth: With more ETFs and Ripple’s tech (like cross-border payments) gaining traction, XRP could see steadier, long-term gains. Risks to Watch Regulation: The U.S. SEC could still drag its feet or say no, citing market manipulation fears. Other countries might hesitate too. Volatility: Crypto’s ups and downs could scare off ETF investors, especially if global markets hit turbulence. Adoption: If Brazil’s ETF flops, it might cool enthusiasm elsewhere, slowing the $XRP ETF rocket. 🚀 What’s Next for $XRP ETFs? The Brazil launch is just the beginning. In the short term, watch how Brazil’s ETF performs and keep an eye on U.S. regulatory moves—they’ll set the tone. Medium term, success could spark a global trend, with the U.S. being the big prize. Long term, XRP ETFs could take XRP to new heights if the stars align.
#XRPETF Interesting move with the Lace wallet supporting $XRP. Cross-chain capabilities could boost Cardano's utility. Curious how this will impact ADA's adoption. Thoughts on the community's reaction? #XRPETF
$XRP Hashdex Launches First XRP Spot ETF in Brazil
The world's first XRP-linked spot exchange-traded fund (ETF), issued by Hashdex and managed by Genial Investimentos, began trading on April 25 on the Brazilian B3 exchange.
Details of the New XRPH11 Fund
Listed under the symbol XRPH11, the fund tracks the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index. According to Hashdex, the fund will allocate at least 95% of its net assets to XRP. This launch marks Hashdex's ninth ETF launch on the Brazilian stock exchange.
The asset management firm may use direct or indirect holdings, futures contracts that aim to replicate the performance of the index, or other financial instruments that reflect the price of XRP as determined by the Nasdaq benchmark to provide the desired exposure.
Expanding Hashdex Offerings
This launch expands Hashdex's single-asset ETF offerings in B3, which also includes products based on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
Targeting Sophisticated Investors
According to Hashdex's Chief Investment Officer, Samir Kerbaj, the fund aims to attract sophisticated investors, including institutions looking to build cryptocurrency portfolios within the Brazilian stock market infrastructure.
He added that the fund aims to expand investor access while complying with regulatory guidelines regarding fund integrity and transparency.
$8 Billion Market
XRP-linked exchange-traded products (ETPs) recorded assets under management (AUM) of $950 million as of April 18, according to a CoinShares report.
Additionally, XRP funds recorded the strongest weekly inflows among other cryptocurrency-related ETPs last week, with $37.7 million allocated.
According to JPMorgan's January forecast, these products could attract up to $8 billion in net inflows, more than eight times the current volume of assets under management.
Competition in the Global Market
Although Hashdex has had a strong start in conquering this market, Brazil represents only 0.9% of the total global assets under management for cryptocurrency exchange-traded products. XRPH11 must find global appeal to access a significant volume of assets under management and give Hashdex a comfortable position in the race.
Summary of Key Points
The first XRP spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) has been launched in Brazil.
The new fund, codenamed XRPH11, tracks the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index.
Hashdex aims to attract sophisticated and institutional investors.
The market for XRP-linked exchange-traded products is expected to grow to $8 billion.
The challenge lies in achieving global appeal for the fund.
