3iQ Corp. launches XRP ETF, XRPQ, on the Toronto Stock Exchange with a 0% management fee for the first six months.
XRPQ offers a convenient way for investors to access XRP without dealing with private wallets or unregulated platforms.
XRPQ will store XRP coins in cold storage, ensuring security by keeping assets separate for each investor.
The fund plans to acquire XRP from regulated sources like over-the-counter desks, similar to other digital asset funds for Bitcoin and Ether.
Ripple has invested in the XRPQ ETF, signaling confidence in its structure and security despite past uncertainties around XRP in US courts.
XRP has shown significant growth over the past decade, with its price surging approximately 10,700% from $0.02 in 2015 to $2.16 currently.
Purpose Investments also launched an XRP ETF, XRPP, on the same day as XRPQ, offering investors a regulated path to XRP on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Multiple spot XRP ETF applications are awaiting approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission, potentially receiving clearance by October 2025.
While US investors wait for XRP ETF approvals, Canada leads in crypto-ETF innovation, exemplified by 3iQ's XRPQ debut with Ripple's support and a temporary zero management fee.
