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. 🌚
XRP Price Takes a Header After ETF Debut: A Sell-the-News Rodeo
XRP’s price, once riding high at $2.50, took a 2.7% nosedive over 24 hours, landing at $2.28. It’s now tiptoeing above its 365-day moving average, a support level as shaky as a three-legged stool. 🪑
XRPC, not to be outdone, plunged 8% from its intraday high of nearly $27 to a humbled $24.50 on launch day, according to Yahoo Finance. Talk about a rough first day on the job. 🤡
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. 🧙♂️💨
