XRP’s First ETF Isn’t What You Think

XRP finally gets an ETF—so why am I only 80% excited? I trace the hype to the REX-Osprey XRP ETF and uncover the twist: it’s filed under the 1940 Act, not the usual 1933 route for true spot products. The story swings from living-room happy dance to a sober look at what’s inside the fund and why it matters for holders who want real spot exposure. I break down the structure in plain English: at least 80% directly invested in XRP, up to 25% via a Cayman subsidiary, with the rest in cash, Treasuries, and possibly derivatives. It’s progress—just not the pure, 100% spot XRP ETF many expected. We weigh first-mover advantage against potential fully spot approvals and set realistic expectations.
