Grayscale announces the launch of a closed-end XRP trust in the US, paving the way for a potential XRP-based ETF.
XRP price surges by over 7% following the announcement, reaching a high of $0.57 before settling at $0.5622.
Grayscale's XRP trust allows accredited investors to gain exposure to XRP, facilitating cross-border payments and transforming the legacy financial infrastructure.
The XRP trust has fewer regulatory restrictions compared to an ETF, but it could potentially be transformed into an ETF with SEC approval.
