The XRP community is buzzing as investment giant Vanguard has officially listed a full lineup of XRP spot ETFs on its brokerage platform.
The listings appeared under Vanguard’s “Non-Vanguard Funds” section within the Digital Assets category.
Commentator Arthur shared a screenshot showing products from Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, REX-Osprey, ProShares, and others already visible on the brokerage interface.
Another user remarked that Vanguard “just went full XRP mode,” calling it a signal that “the floodgates for mainstream money are now OPEN.”
Meanwhile, prominent XRP commentator Zach Rector tweeted that Vanguard flipped to allowing crypto ETFs only after XRP products went live. “Just saying…,” he remarked.
Vanguard Has “Finally Caved”
In his tweet, ETFStore president Nate Geraci stated that Vanguard has “finally caved,” allowing spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs on its brokerage platform. Geraci added that the decision fulfilled his long-standing prediction from late 2024 that Vanguard would eventually capitulate.
XRP analyst Chad Steingraber highlighted that the development will accelerate asset inflows far beyond the estimates he previously shared.
Despite the shift, Vanguard reiterated it has no plans to launch its own crypto ETFs. Moreover, it will stick to offering only third-party products that meet regulatory standards.
Major Policy Reversal for an $11 Trillion Giant
Meanwhile, this update marks one of the most significant policy reversals in the history of the $11 trillion asset manager. Vanguard previously rejected crypto ETF access outright, with former CEO Tim Buckley warning against Bitcoin in long-term portfolios.
But leadership changed in 2024 when Salim Ramji, formerly of BlackRock’s ETF division, stepped in as CEO. Persistent investor demand and growing institutional interest appear to have pushed the firm to adapt.
Starting Tuesday, Vanguard clients can begin trading selected crypto ETFs and crypto-focused mutual funds, similar to how it handles gold-based investment products.
Analysts say the move could accelerate crypto adoption within traditional finance. Crypto investor Nilesh Rohilla even predicted that markets could see a near-term boost, including a potential 5% rise in Bitcoin following the announcement.
XRP ETFs Accumulate Over $756 Million With Zero Outflows
Vanguard’s listings arrive during a surge of interest in XRP-based exchange-traded products. According to SoSoValue, spot XRP ETFs have now recorded $756.26 million in net inflows. Meanwhile, total assets have reached $723 million — all within just 11 trading days.
Remarkably, XRP ETFs have not logged a single day of outflows. Major inflow waves include:
- $243 million on Nov. 14, during Canary Capital’s launch
- $164 million on Nov. 24, aligned with the debut of Grayscale and Franklin Templeton’s products
- $89.65 million flowed in most recently on Monday
Analysts such as Jake Claver and Steingraber believe this rapid accumulation is quietly draining liquid XRP from exchanges. They argue that the development is setting up a potential supply shock that could force a significant repricing.
Adding to the momentum, 21Shares announced that its spot XRP ETF (ticker: TOXR) has been approved. The fund will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange, and trading is set to commence.
