🚀 XRP ETF Explodes Onto Scene: Record-Breaking Debut Volume Signals Institutional Demand

Wall Street meets crypto as the first XRP exchange-traded fund shatters expectations on launch day.

The dam breaks

Trading floors lit up as the long-awaited XRP ETF saw institutional money flood in—proving even traditional finance can't ignore Ripple's liquidity machine.

Volume tells the story

Early numbers suggest this isn't just retail FOMO. The debut figures would make even a Bitcoin maximalist raise an eyebrow (before dismissing it as a fluke, naturally).

What the suits won't admit

While bankers pretend they 'always believed in digital assets,' let's remember these are the same institutions that called XRP a security until they found a way to profit from it. The blockchain doesn't lie—but prospectuses sure do.

XRP Coin stands out as one of the few altcoins that managed to remain in the green today. The much-anticipated launch of the Canary XRP ETF took place, drawing significant attention. Amid rising geopolitical tensions involving Venezuela, concerns over a Supreme Court decision, and AI sector overvaluation worries, cryptocurrencies are facing yet another turbulent day. Speculations suggest that Bitcoin$102,931 might lose its $100,000 mark again, while the probability of a rate cut in December has significantly diminished. But how did the ETF launch fare?

XRP Coin ETF

Listed under the code XRPC, the ETF saw a trading volume of $26 million within the first half-hour. This represents a promising start for XRP Coin, despite the otherwise bleak market sentiment. It is crucial to note that comparing this to Bitcoin and Ethereum$3,489 launches would be unfair due to vastly different conditions. Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas praised this strong start.

“XRPC reached a volume of $26 million in the first 30 minutes, exceeding my $17 million prediction. It has a strong chance of surpassing the largest first-day launch volume of the year—BSOL, with $57 million.”

The ETF’s listing was confirmed by Nasdaq, and the Securities and Exchange Commission allowed automatic enforcement upon closing time—currently marking a successful albeit tentative debut.

XRP Coin

Supported by the crypto asset manager Canary Capital, XRP Coin is striving to maintain its $2.4 benchmark. The timing could have been more aligned; had this listing occurred in September, possibly different outcomes on the charts would be observed. However, in the long run, this listing is expected to bolster XRP Coin.

Though initial BTC ETF listings did not spark massive gains, the listings eventually heightened interest and doubled spot prices. Today’s listing aligns with the SEC‘s new, streamlined standards, being the first product to tap into these regulations. We anticipate seeing more spot ETF listings for various altcoins.

With the forecast for a December interest rate cut dropping below 50%, we cannot expect massive short-term rises. The forthcoming release of U.S. economic data is set to determine the Fed’s trajectory. Should inflation not rise significantly and employment continue weakening, expectations for rate cuts may increase, potentially boosting cryptocurrency. However, many investors appear inclined to observe cautiously during this transitional phase.
