XRP ETF Launches With Powerful Opening Surge

Key Highlights

• XRPC ETF hits twenty six million dollars in opening volume as Robinhood lists it instantly

• XRP futures open interest surges while traders eye a possible breakout to three dollars

Yello, Paradisers! The first United States spot XRP ETF is finally live, and it wasted no time announcing its arrival. Canary Capital’s XRPC ETF racked up twenty six million dollars in trading volume within the first thirty minutes of its debut on Nasdaq, a blistering open that places it firmly between the historic Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launches and far above typical altcoin ETF rollouts.

This ETF became automatically effective during the recent government shutdown, and Nasdaq certified its listing earlier this week. As soon as markets opened, traders flooded in. The excitement got louder when Robinhood quietly flipped the switch and listed XRPC for trading the same morning, instantly exposing the ETF to millions of retail users. If the goal was mainstream reach, this morning delivered it.

XRP had already been climbing into the launch, ignoring broader market weakness as traders positioned for the sixth United States single-asset crypto ETF to hit the market. With a fee of zero point five percent and no temporary waiver, Canary Capital appears confident the product will stand on its own appeal rather than promotional pricing.

Within the derivatives market, open interest began ripping higher almost immediately. CoinGlass data shows a three percent jump in the first hour, followed by stronger increases on CME and Binance. Institutional positioning was already visible long before the launch, but today’s flows confirmed it: this ETF is not a side show; it is a major liquidity event.

Market Reaction and the Three Dollar Question

XRP continues to trade around two dollars fifty, up more than two percent over the past twenty four hours as volume spiked by fifty two percent. Despite sideways price action, the ETF arrival has injected new conviction into both spot and futures markets. As futures open interest climbs above four billion dollars, traders are already asking the obvious question: can XRP make a clean run toward three dollars now that it has an ETF funneling fresh capital into the ecosystem?

Analysts believe the launch gives XRP something it has lacked for years: an approved, regulated, Wall Street-friendly gateway. In classic Rory Sutherland fashion, people are not just buying XRP; they are buying the feeling of legitimacy. And sometimes in markets, feelings move prices faster than fundamentals.

If early volume holds, XRPC could be the catalyst that resets the entire XRP narrative heading into the next cycle.
