The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved ProShares Trust to launch multiple XRP-related futures exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with an effective date set for April 30, 2025.
The approved products, ProShares UltraShort XRP ETF, ProShares Ultra XRP ETF, and ProShares Short XRP ETF, are designed to provide leveraged and inverse exposure based on XRP futures prices. However, the SEC has not yet approved any XRP spot ETF in the United States.

Meanwhile, Brazil has taken the global lead in XRP investment products. On April 25, the world’s first spot XRP ETF, issued by Hashdex and managed by Genial Investimentos, began trading on Brazil’s B3 exchange. According to Hashdex, the ETF, listed under the ticker XRPH11, tracks the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index and will allocate at least 95% of its net assets to XRP.
The fund’s structure allows for exposure through direct or indirect holdings, futures contracts that aim to replicate the performance of the index, or other financial instruments that reflect the price of XRP relative to Nasdaq’s benchmark. XRPH11 marks Hashdex’s ninth ETF offering in B3, expanding its lineup of single-asset crypto ETFs that already includes products based on Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL).
