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

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 debut was explosive: $58 million in day-one trading volume — the highest of any ETF launched in 2025 — and early inflows topping $245 million, edging out even the strongest Solana ETF debut.
This rapid rollout validates years of anticipation: resolved regulatory hurdles, proven real-world utility on the XRP Ledger, and surging demand for diversified crypto exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Analysts now project $5–10 billion+ in cumulative inflows over the next 6–12 months, with a fierce fee war pushing expense ratios toward 0.20–0.50%.

For long-term holders, spot ETFs are the clear winner — direct XRP backing, no tracking error from futures roll costs, and seamless access via traditional brokerage accounts. Below is the updated ranking of the top products to watch right now.

This guide updates our July analysis with December 2025 data, highlighting top performers amid XRP's YTD price gain of ~+2.3%. As banks integrate RippleNet for cross-border payments and RLUSD stablecoin expands globally, XRP ETFs offer regulated, low-friction exposure. Focus on spot funds for direct upside, but diversify with leveraged/income variants for tactical plays.

Secondary / Niche Products (mostly overshadowed by spot now)

• ProShares Ultra XRP (UXRP) – 2× leveraged futures
• Volatility Shares XRP ETF (XRPI) – 1× futures
  These are mainly for short-term trading due to tracking error over longer periods.

2. Fee Environment and Competitiveness

• North American XRP ETFs like Purpose and 3iQ are aggressively pursuing fee reductions with temporary management fee waivers to attract investor capital.

• Volatility Shares and ProShares ETFs, operating primarily with futures contracts in the U.S., have fees that tend to be slightly higher due to leverage and complex futures strategies.

• European ETP providers, such as 21Shares, maintain higher fees (around 2.50%) but compensate with extensive operational history and strong liquidity.

3. Dominating Holdings and Market Influence

• Teucrium’s XRP ETF recently reached close to $400 million in AUM, showing robust investor appetite following ETF launches and bullish price moves.

• Canadian ETFs by Purpose and 3iQ are rapidly gaining ground, pooling assets through low fee structures and transparent spot exposure.

• 21Shares commands significant institutional flow as the largest XRP ETP in Europe.

• Institutional buying is also evidenced by growing "whale" wallet volumes, suggesting accumulating demand ahead of anticipated spot ETF approvals.

4. 2025 Performance Highlights

• XRP’s price surged to over $3.60 in July 2025 from sub-$0.50 levels a year earlier, driven in large part by ETF product launches and growing regulatory clarity.

• Trading volumes and open interest in XRP-related ETFs and futures contracts reached all-time highs, with open interest surpassing $7 billion during peak market activity.

• Futures-based ETFs played a significant role in amplifying exposure and liquidity, while spot ETFs provided a trusted vehicle for direct participation in price gains.

5. Spot ETF vs Futures ETF: What Investors Should Know

• Spot ETFs

  • Hold actual XRP tokens, offering direct price exposure that tracks XRP’s spot market value very closely.

  • Typically have lower tracking error and simpler cost structures (custody costs are included in fees).

  • Preferred for long-term investors seeking straightforward and transparent crypto ownership.

• Futures ETFs

  • Invest in XRP futures contracts rather than the underlying tokens.

  • Exposure can diverge from spot prices due to futures market conditions like contango or backwardation.

  • Require rolling of contracts, which may generate additional costs and tracking inefficiencies.

  • May include leverage to amplify returns and risks, suited to more active or tactical investors.

• In 2025, the U.S. market primarily features futures-based XRP ETFs due to regulatory pathways, while Canadian and European markets offer physically backed spot ETFs.

• Pending SEC approvals for several spot XRP ETFs could transform the U.S. landscape by providing simpler, direct exposure options for investors.

6. What to Watch for Going Forward

• Spot ETFs (especially the new U.S. ones) are now the clear choice for long-term holders.
• Fee war is on — expect 0.20–0.50% to become the new normal.
• Analysts forecasting $5–10B+ inflows into XRP ETFs over the next 6–12 months.
• XRP has officially entered the mainstream institutional era.
• Spot vs. Futures: Spot ETFs (top 7) dominate with direct XRP holdings, minimizing tracking errors—ideal for HODLers (long-term holder who wants pure, low-maintenance exposure to XRP’s price without leverage, options strategies, or futures roll decay). Teucrium's 2x futures suits day traders but amplifies risks (e.g., potential 2x losses in downturns).
• Regional Breakdown: U.S. launches (now 4 live) lead with $422M+ combined inflows since Nov 13, outpacing Bitcoin ETF sales in the same period. Canadian products excel in fee waivers for retail; Europe's 21Shares benefits from $579M scale and new Nordic expansions.
• Niche Options: For income, Amplify XRP Monthly Premium (XRPM, launched Nov 18) targets 3% monthly yields via options. Leveraged futures like ProShares Ultra XRP (UXRP, 2x) or Volatility Shares (XRPI, 1x) hover at ~1.89% fees but saw $11.40/share trading amid launches.
• Market Outlook: Open interest tops $8B, with spot ETFs projected to hit 90% market share. XRP's resilience above $2.20 signals ETF-driven stability, though broader crypto cooldown (Bitcoin down 4%) caps upside. Watch Asia expansions and fee cuts for next catalysts.
• Combined inflows across the four live U.S. spot ETFs: >$422M in under two weeks.
• Total XRP ETF/ETP open interest: >$8 billion
• XRP price holding ~$2.22 despite broader crypto dip.
