XRP ETF: Big Bucks, Bigger Dips 🤑💸

by

In the dusty plains of the crypto frontier, the Canary Capital XRP (XRPC) exchange-traded fund-a beast that holds spot XRP-galloped into town with a swagger, lassoing more than $46 million in its first hours of trading on Thursday. Yet, like a cowboy who’s lost his hat in a windstorm, both the token and the ETF stumbled in price, leaving onlookers scratching their heads. 🤠

XRPC, the new sheriff in town, wrangled $26 million in trading volume within the first 30 minutes of its launch, according to senior Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas. His partner in crime, James Seyffart, chimed in with a grin:

“2.5 hours left in the trading day, and Canary Capital’s XRPC is already over $46 million in day one trading. This here’s almost guaranteed to be near the top of the list for 2025 launches, and it’s got a shot at outgunning Bitwise’s Solana ETF (BSOL) for the top spot.”

This ETF, as anticipated as a raincloud in a drought, had been on analysts’ radar since 2024. The winds shifted with the reelection of US President Donald Trump and his pro-crypto regulatory hoedown, sending XRP investors into a frenzy. 🌪️

Crypto cowboys see ETFs as the golden ticket, the bullish catalyst that siphons cash from the traditional financial ranches into the wild west of crypto. Yet, in a classic “sell-the-news” twist, XRP’s price took a tumble after the Canary ETF’s grand entrance, proving once again that the market’s got a sense of humor darker than a moonless night. 🌚

Back in January, market analysts-those modern-day soothsayers-predicted XRP could hit a price target above $10 after an XRP ETF got the green light in the U.S. JPMorgan’s wizards even forecast that an XRP ETF could lure up to $8 billion in capital flows. But as the dust settles, it seems the market’s got other plans. 🧙‍♂️💨
