Purpose Investments Files for First-Ever Ripple ETF: What You Should Know

Purpose Investments Inc., known for launching the world’s first Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, has filed a preliminary prospectus with Canadian securities regulators to launch the Purpose Ripple ETF. As interest in digital assets continues to grow, this new ETF will change the way investors gain exposure to Ripple (XRP).

This is going to change the investment game. Let’s dive into the details.

A Bold Move in Crypto ETFs

The firm, which manages over $23 billion in assets, is set to introduce the first global XRP ETF. The Purpose Ripple ETF plans to invest nearly all its assets in long-term Ripple (XRP) holdings, offering investors the potential for long-term capital growth.

This move highlights the growing connection between traditional finance and decentralized finance.

Purpose’s Vision for the Future

Som Seif, the founder and CEO of Purpose Investments, emphasized the company’s commitment to bridging traditional finance with decentralized finance. He believes that as XRP gains more adoption and institutional interest, an ETF will provide a regulated way for investors to gain exposure to the asset.

A Key Milestone in Crypto Investment

Vlad Tasevski, Chief Innovation Officer at Purpose, pointed out that launching the Purpose Ripple ETF is a significant step toward becoming the leading trusted partner for investors seeking exposure to crypto and digital assets.

“We remain committed to providing exposure to transformative digital assets and blockchain technologies through regulated investment vehicles,” he added. 

The Race Heats Up

Several asset management firms in the U.S. have filed with the SEC to launch spot XRP ETFs, waiting for regulatory approval. Grayscale has applied to convert its XRP Trust into a spot XRP ETF, while other firms like Bitwise, Canary Capital, WisdomTree, and 21Shares have submitted similar proposals. In addition, there are also applications for Solana and Litecoin ETFs in the U.S.

Canada’s Crypto-Friendly Approach

While U.S. firms were the first to file for crypto ETFs, Canada typically approves these products faster, giving Purpose an advantage. With the pro-crypto stance of the current U.S. administration and the possibility of a crypto-friendly SEC Chair, Paul Atkins, the approval process for crypto ETFs in the U.S. may soon speed up.
