Canada’s XRP ETF Seduces Investors: You Won’t Believe the Frenzy! 🍁💸

by

As if the maple leaf required another badge of distinction, the Canadian 3iQ XRP ETF-known in the whispering corners of haute finance as XRPQ-has pirouetted past the CAD 150 million mark in AUM. Yes, dear reader, regulated XRP products surge forth like exuberant salmon in a springtime thaw, making even the frostiest Bay Street analyst cock an eyebrow. 🐟💰

Imagine, if you will, the wild bloom of June: XRPQ launched, draped in its inaugural 0% management fee like an accountant on holiday-no shoes, no shuffles, no worries. Brick by glittering brick, it muscled up among its Canadian kin. Not to be left twiddling thumbs backstage, Ripple appeared-ever eager, ever confident-as an early investor. Enter a parade of new adopters: individuals, wealth advisors, institutions, family offices-the whole lot, lured by this seductive rippling contraption. Investors, previously as inert as Canadian winters, now jittered about with a pulse one suspects could only be measured by an oscilloscope. 💃

RippleX, with the proud cadence of a mother at a spelling bee, took to Twitter-the world’s loudest cocktail party-to trumpet this milestone. (One hopes their keyboard survived the fervor.)

Not to be outdone in the annals of digital drama, CME Group piped up in late August, boasting that its crypto futures suite had finally leapt over $30 billion in notional open interest, presumably making someone at CME’s head office spray a celebratory latte. And the XRP futures contract? It raced to $1 billion in open interest with the reckless abandon of a caffeinated squirrel-just three months. Not even Nabokov’s butterflies move that quickly. ☕🦋

Optimism: It’s Practically Hovering

The mood is frothy-frothier, perhaps, than a Toronto cappuccino. The recent record only underscores the newly invigorated appetite for XRP treats. Bloomberg’s analysts (whose crystal balls are only occasionally smudged) foretell a blitz of hundreds of crypto ETP launches within 12-18 months. There are already over 90 crypto ETF filings with the SEC, all jostling for the regulator’s affections with the grace of synchronized swimmers at a bureaucratic pool party. 🏊‍♂️

Even asset managers such as 21Shares, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and Grayscale have joined the grand chase, filing for spot XRP ETFs with the SEC. It’s becoming rather crowded-like literary salons but with more digital wallets and less absinthe.

Nate Geraci, President of Nova Dius Wealth (whose opinions, rumor has it, drop decimal points like breadcrumbs in the woods), assures us the odds of an XRP ETF approval in 2025 flutter around 87% on Polymarket. Nate personally guesstimates it at 100%-ever the optimist, or perhaps just trying to impress the family at dinner.

Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger, version 2.5.1 of rippled (not, mind you, your grandmother’s ripple), is available yet again, its previous ascension to version 2.6.0 cut short due to hiccups. Nevertheless, it brings forth a balm for stalled consensus rounds, ensuring that blockchain progress needn’t resemble traffic on the Gardiner Expressway. 🛣️
