XRP Price Jumps as ETF Crosses $100M and CME Derivatives Volume Explodes
XRP ETF surpasses $100 million in assets, marking a key milestone for mainstream adoption.
Nearly 40% of XRP ETF holdings come from major institutional investors like hedge funds.
CME Group reports surging demand for XRP futures, trading over $26.9 billion since launch.
XRP price jumps 5.4% to $2.57 as institutional inflows and trading volumes increase rapidly.
2025 is turning into a defining year for XRP, as institutional interest in the token reaches new heights. From major ETF inflows to fresh derivatives listings, XRP is finally gaining the kind of attention once reserved for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Two major developments, the first U.S. spot XRP ETF crossing a major milestone and the launch of XRP options on CME, are clear signs of growing demand.
XRP ETF Crosses $100 Million Milestone
Just months after its launch, the XRPR ETF broke above $100 million in AUM as net inflows surged through October. For XRP, this is more than just a number, it marks a major step toward mainstream adoption.
The fund’s managing firm, REX-Osprey, reported that nearly 40% of the current AUM originated from institutional portfolios, including hedge funds, family offices, and registered investment advisors. This places $XRPR among the top-performing spot crypto ETFs for Q4 2025
CME Group: Derivatives Signal Deep Institutional Demand
Adding to the momentum, CME Group, one of the world’s largest derivatives exchanges, has flagged a spike in open interest and trading volume in its newly-launched XRP futures contracts.
This follows the strong performance of its futures market since it launched in May, which has already seen more than 567,000 contracts traded, representing over $26.9 billion in notional volume.
CME said the growing activity shows rising confidence in XRP’s long-term potential as a digital asset with real-world use cases.
Ripple’s Progress Boost Confidence In XRP
Ripple’s recent regulatory wins have opened doors for more institutional investment in XRP. CEO Brad Garlinghouse reaffirmed that XRP remains central to Ripple’s plans after acquiring Hidden Road, now called Ripple Prime.
The market responded positively, with XRP rising over 5.4% in the past 24 hours to trade around $2.57 amid higher trading volumes.
