Top XRP ETFs to Watch in 2025: Dominating Holdings, Low Fees, and Performance Insights (December 2025 Update)

By -
Image
The XRP ETF ecosystem has exploded in November 2025, with four major U.S. spot ETFs launching between November 13 and November 24, driving cumulative inflows past $1 billion since Canary's (XRPC) debut. Regulatory tailwinds from the SEC's July 2025 guidance and Ripple's $125 million settlement have fueled this surge, alongside XRP's price holding above $2.20 (currently ~$2.22, up 1.4% intraday despite broader market volatility).  A fierce "fee war" has pushed U.S. spot expense ratios to historic lows (0.19–0.35%), with waivers extending through mid-2026 for many. Analysts now project $10–15 billion in total inflows over the next 12 months, as spot products capture 85%+ of flows. European and Canadian ETFs continue to thrive for regional investors, while futures-based options suit leveraged traders. On November 13, 2025, Canary Capital's Canary XRP ETF (ticker: XRPC) became the first pure-play spot XRP ETF to trade on a major U.S. exchange (Nasdaq). Its deb...

Nearly every analyst firm and memory maker is now warning of looming NAND and DRAM shortages that will send SSD and memory prices skyrocketing over the coming months and years, with some even predicting a shortage that will last a decade. The shortages are becoming impossible to ignore, and warnings from the industry are growing dire, as the voracious appetite of AI data centers begins to consume the lion's share of the world's memory and flash production capacity. For the better part of two years, storage upgrades have been a rare bright spot for PC builders. SSD prices cratered to all-time lows in 2023 , with high-performance NVMe drives selling for little more than the cost of a modest mechanical hard disk. DRAM followed a similar trajectory, dropping to price points not seen in nearly a decade. In 2024, the pendulum swung firmly in the other direction, with prices for both NAND flash and DRAM starting to climb. The shift has its roots in the cyclical na...
