What is an XRP ETF?

An XRP ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) is an investment fund that tracks the price of XRP and trades on traditional stock exchanges. Instead of buying XRP directly on a crypto exchange, you can buy shares of the ETF through your regular brokerage account.

This means you can get exposure to XRP price movements in your Fidelity, Schwab, or Robinhood account - including tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s.
