Canary Capital Joins Bitwise in XRP ETF Race
According to the filing, the fund will track XRP's value through the CME CF Ripple dollar reference rate, a daily benchmark index price for XRP. This rate is calculated by aggregating trade data from multiple Ripple-USD markets on major crypto exchanges that meet CF Benchmark's stringent regulatory standards.
Canary Capital’s planned financial product aims to give institutional and retail investors a way to invest in XRP via traditional financial (TradFi) markets, simplifying custody, security, and regulatory concerns. The firm's interest in an XRP ETF reflects its belief in the broader potential of the crypto market, beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum.
"We’re seeing positive signs of a more progressive regulatory landscape and growing demand for access to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, particularly for enterprise-grade blockchain solutions like XRP," said a Canary spokesperson.
