three ETFs on XRP approved in the United States

ProShares will launch three XRP ETFs based on futures approved by the SEC.

The approval of the SEC for the three XRP ETFs by ProShares represents a significant milestone for the adoption of XRP in the U.S. financial market.

ProShares revolutionizes the market: green light for its three ETFs on XRP

ProShares, one of the leading issuers of exchange-traded funds, has obtained approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for the launch of three new ETFs based on XRP. The announcement, made public a few days ago, marks a decisive turning point for the cryptocurrency sector, after the long legal battle between Ripple and the SEC concluded in March.

The new financial instruments will be available starting from April 30 and will allow investors to position themselves both in favor of and against the trend of the XRP token, through leveraged products.

The details on the new XRP ProShares ETFs

The new ETFs that will be introduced by ProShares are:

• Ultra XRP ETF: a 2x leveraged instrument designed to amplify gains in the event of a bull in the price of XRP.
• Short XRP ETF: a fund that provides inverse exposure to the price of XRP, allowing one to profit from any bear movements.
• Ultra Short XRP ETF: bear ETF with -2x leverage, designed to maximize gains in the event of significant decreases in the price of XRP.

No spot ETF on XRP has been approved, at least at this stage. Several requests are underway from managers like Grayscale, with critical deadlines set, such as that of May 22 for Grayscale’s application.

The regulatory context: from Ripple against SEC to new opportunities

The road to the approval of XRP ETFs has not been without obstacles. The legal battle between Ripple and the SEC, which lasted for years, only concluded in March, removing the main regulatory constraints that weighed on XRP.

Precisely thanks to the favorable resolution of this clash, the possibility has opened up for issuers like ProShares to introduce financial products based on XRP in the regulated American markets.

The precedent: the success of Teucrium’s 2x XRP ETF

It is worth remembering that the 2x XRP ETF by Teucrium was the first product of its kind launched in the United States at the beginning of April. The debut proved to be extremely positive: over 5 million dollars in trading volume on the first day, the best start in the history of the investment firm.

This favorable precedent strengthens expectations for the three new ProShares ETFs as well, which aim to capture the growing interest of investors towards XRP.

The expansion of XRP derivatives at CME Group

Fueling the enthusiasm for XRP is not just the launch of ETFs. The CME Group, the largest derivatives exchange in the United States, has indeed announced the addition of XRP futures to its product basket. The official launch is scheduled for next month, along with futures contracts on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).

This further step consolidates the position of XRP as one of the benchmark digital assets in the world of financial derivatives.

What it means for the market: new strategies and risks

The introduction of leveraged and short ETFs on XRP offers more experienced investors advanced tools to manage highly volatile prices. However, as with all leveraged products, the risks are high: movements contrary to the expected trend can quickly amplify losses.

ProShares has designed its XRP ETFs for daily strategy, which means they are more suitable for short-term operations than for long-term investments. Investors will therefore need to pay the utmost attention to risk management and the correct use of these instruments.

Furthermore, the absence of a spot ETF XRP still partially limits direct exposure to the token itself through regulated instruments.

A look at the future of the cryptocurrency ETF market

“`

The approval of the three XRP ETFs by the SEC opens an important breach for the future of funds based on digital assets. 

Although the U.S. regulatory body, during President Trump’s administration, showed greater openness to financial innovations, several challenges still remain to be addressed, especially in the field of spot ETFs.

Currently, the market is also looking with interest at future decisions regarding Grayscale’s request to launch a spot ETF on XRP. Any new approvals could further consolidate the role of cryptocurrencies in the traditional financial ecosystem.

New opportunities, but caution necessary

The debut of the three ProShares XRP ETFs represents a significant advancement for the institutional adoption of digital assets, putting XRP under the spotlight. 

The enthusiasm of the market, the growing availability of regulated financial instruments, and the entry into the main derivatives exchanges open tangible opportunities for both traders and institutional investors.

However, as always in the world of leveraged investments and in high-volatility cryptocurrencies, it is essential to move with awareness, preparation, and well-defined risk management strategies.

The next key appointment will be on May 22, with the expiration of Grayscale’s proposal: a further test to measure how far the market and regulatory authorities are willing to go in the direction of integration between traditional finance and blockchain.
