Ripple News: First U.S.-Listed XRP Option Income ETF Goes Live

Amplify ETFs has launched the first U.S.-listed XRP option-income exchange-traded fund, called the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM). This marks a big step for XRP-based investment products entering regulated markets. XRPM is built to give investors steady income while still offering exposure to XRP’s price moves.

How XRPM Works
The fund aims to generate about 36% annualized income from option premiums, depending on market conditions. To do this, XRPM sells weekly out-of-the-money call options on part of its XRP holdings. This setup allows the fund to collect income more often than traditional monthly options and adjust its strategy quickly when the market changes.

Income Plus Growth Potential
At the core of XRPM’s strategy is a system of writing weekly out-of-the-money call options on a portion of its XRP exposure. This approach allows the fund to reset strike levels more frequently than traditional monthly options, offering more chances to collect premiums and potentially amplify total returns. The shorter option cycles also allow the fund to respond quickly to market shifts, helping maintain consistent income generation.

Amplify’s Statement on the Launch
Christian Magoon, CEO of Amplify ETFs, said the company is proud to bring a first-of-its-kind XRP income product to the market. He explained that XRPM lets investors earn high option-premium income while staying connected to XRP’s role as a fast payment asset used worldwide.

Why XRP Matters
XRP, currently ranked as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is the native token of the XRP Ledger, an open-source blockchain known for rapid transaction settlement and its increasing role in cross-border payments. The launch of XRPM adds another institutional-grade product tied to the asset at a time when investor interest in income-focused crypto strategies continues to rise.
