The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) has surpassed $100 million in assets under management just five weeks after its launch in September 2025. This rapid growth highlights the increasing institutional interest in XRP, which is currently the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market value. The ETF debuted on September 18, 2025, offering investors direct exposure to XRP.
In Brazil, the Hashdex Nasdaq XRP ETF has accumulated approximately $52 million in total assets, marking it as the world’s first spot XRP ETF.
### XRP Price and Technical Outlook
XRP’s price recently bounced off a key support level at $2.33, which aligns with the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA). On the weekly charts, the token sits within an ascending triangle pattern—a technical formation that has historically led to significant price moves for XRP. Earlier in 2025, similar rebounds from the lower trendline of this pattern resulted in gains ranging between 70% and 80%.
The current price bounce represents an 8% increase from the support level. Technical analysts are closely watching the $3 resistance level. Should XRP break above this threshold, the ascending triangle suggests a potential move toward $3.45—a 35% gain from current levels. If historical trends hold, this target could be reached by December. Conversely, a breakdown below the triangle’s lower trendline might push the price down to around $1.65.
### Ripple’s Strategic Expansion: Ripple Prime
Ripple recently completed the acquisition of Hidden Road, rebranding the firm as Ripple Prime. This move positions Ripple as the first crypto company to operate a global, multi-asset prime broker. Ripple Prime will cater to the company’s existing institutional clients, further strengthening Ripple’s foothold in the institutional market.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse described the acquisition as “another step toward building an internet of value,” emphasizing that “XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does.” Additionally, Ripple announced plans to purchase $1 billion in XRP tokens to bolster a new treasury that will be listed on Nasdaq under the ticker “XRPN.”
### Growing Institutional Adoption and Trading Activity
Institutional adoption of XRP continues to gain momentum. The CME Group added XRP options to its product lineup in response to strong demand, supporting a surge in trading volumes since the launch of XRP futures in May. To date, over 567,000 futures contracts have been traded, representing a total volume of $26.9 billion.
New treasury company Evernorth, planning its own Nasdaq listing, has committed to holding XRP as a core reserve asset. This commitment underscores growing institutional confidence in XRP’s viability.
Market observers note that Ripple’s significant XRP holdings provide the company with a strong incentive to drive the token’s success, as higher valuations directly benefit Ripple. Industry traders such as Credibull Crypto and Zeiierman Trading highlight XRP’s central role in institutional adoption, especially following the Ripple Prime rebranding.
