REX-Osprey XRP ETF XRPR surpasses $100M AUM, underscoring intensifying investor interest in digital asset funds. This milestone highlights growing institutional and retail adoption of crypto ETFs as regulated investment vehicles in 2025.
What Happened
The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (NASDAQ: XRPR) has officially surpassed $100 million in assets under management (AUM), according to recent SEC filings and Bloomberg ETF Flows data as of June 13, 2025. This marks a significant achievement for the crypto-native exchange traded fund, launched in January 2024 as the first U.S. ETF devoted exclusively to XRP, the digital asset powering Ripple’s decentralized payments network. Osprey Funds CEO Greg King commented in a press release, “Crossing this threshold reflects widespread confidence in both XRP and compliant, regulated access to crypto markets.” The ETF’s AUM has tripled since December 2024, outpacing inflows to many single-asset crypto funds (Bloomberg).
Why It Matters
XRPR reaching $100M in AUM signals a broader maturation of the U.S. crypto ETF sector, following SEC approvals for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024 and 2025. This performance positions XRP—historically a third-place cryptocurrency by market cap—alongside more established digital assets in mainstream portfolios. According to industry research at ThinkInvest.org, the threshold also suggests institutional investors are seeking diversified, compliant vehicles as digital assets garner renewed attention amid regulatory clarity and macroeconomic uncertainty. In comparison, the first Ethereum ETFs surpassed $250M AUM in their opening quarter, but XRPR’s rise is notable for a non-Bitcoin, non-Ethereum fund, pointing to evolving investor appetites.
Impact on Investors
XRPR’s asset growth provides investors with greater ETF liquidity and tighter bid-ask spreads, reducing entry and exit friction. It also increases eligibility for inclusion in advisory and retirement platforms, broadening XRPR’s appeal beyond crypto-native investors. However, risks remain: XRP remains subject to ongoing legal scrutiny and potential regulatory twists, particularly following the SEC’s partial settlement with Ripple in late 2024. “This is a milestone, but investors must weigh both XRP’s network potential and the evolving regulatory framework,” said Jessica Lin, senior ETF strategist at CapitalPoint Advisors. “As with all single-asset crypto ETFs, volatility and sudden drawdowns are still pronounced relative to traditional asset classes.” Investors monitoring crypto-related equities may also see ripple effects across exchanges and custody platforms (market analysis and investment insights).
Expert Take
Analysts note that XRPR’s rapid asset growth demonstrates surging demand for regulated access to diversified blockchain exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market strategists suggest that this could pave the way for additional single-asset crypto ETFs and further legitimize alternative coins in U.S. capital markets.
The Bottom Line
REX-Osprey XRP ETF XRPR surpasses $100M AUM at a time when investor demand for regulated digital assets is cresting, ushering in a new era for U.S.-listed crypto ETFs. As tracking and inflows gather momentum, investors should monitor both the product’s liquidity and the evolving regulatory climate to inform allocations in the months ahead.
