Canada’s Toronto Stock Exchange today saw a new entrant aimed at making XRP more accessible to investors. The 3iQ Corp. rolled out its spot-based XRP ETF, trading under the ticker XRPQ, with an introductory 0% management fee for the first six months. Related Reading: Tether Enforces Freeze On $12 Million In Tron Funds Over Illicit Activity Based on reports, this move offers both retail and institutional clients a hands‑off way to own XRP without worrying about private wallets or unregulated platforms. Building Trust Through Custody According to the announcement, XRPQ will hold its XRP coins in cold storage, kept separate for each investor to cut down the chance of a hack. The fund plans to buy XRP from regulated sources like over‑the‑counter desks. That setup mirrors what other digital‑asset funds do for Bitcoin and Ether. We are excited to announce the launch of the 3iQ XRP ETF (TSX: XRPQ, XRPQ.U) — one of the first ETFs in North America to provide exposure to #XRP. XRPQ debuts with a 0% management fee for the first six months, and @Ripple as an early investor in the fund. “The launch of XRPQ… pic.twitter.com/me19RLAzJI — 3iQ Digital Asset Management (@3iq_corp) June 18, 2025 Backing From Ripple San Francisco’s Ripple has taken a stake in the new fund, according to reports. The company didn’t share how much it invested, but its support sends a strong message. It shows Ripple believes in XRPQ’s structure and security, even after years of uncertainty about XRP in the US courts. Growth Of XRP Over A Decade Data from 2015 to now shows that XRP’s price jumped to around 10,700%, climbing from $0.02 back then to $2.16 today. That surge underscores why 3iQ’s CEO and President, Pascal St‑Jean, called this ETF “an easy way for Canadians and qualified investors overseas to tap into XRP’s growth.” He rang the TSX’s closing bell to mark the launch. Purpose Joins The Fray Reports also disclose that Purpose Investments launched its own XRP ETF, XRPP, on the same day. That makes two spot XRP ETFs now available on the same exchange. Both products aim to give investors a regulated path to XRP, but only time will tell which approach wins more fans. Related Reading: Iran’s Top Crypto Hub Loses $82 Million To Hackers With Israeli Links—Details Looking Ahead To US Approval According to industry watchers, over 10 applications for a spot XRP ETF are currently waiting on the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Traders and managers predict a green light could come by October 2025. Until then, US investors will be watching from the sidelines, while Canada continues to lead in crypto‑ETF innovation. With XRPQ’s debut, 3iQ highlights its mission of opening up digital assets in a regulated way. It’s a clear sign that more traditional markets are warming up to crypto. And with Ripple’s backing and a zero‑fee for half a year, this new ETF could draw attention from anyone who wants XRP exposure without the usual hurdles.

A new filing shows Trump Media & Technology Group moving into both crypto and telecom markets. The company behind Truth Social and Truth+ has asked the US Securities and Exchange Commission to register a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF, according to reports. At roughly the same time, it unveiled plans for a $499 Trump‑branded smartphone and service plan. Related Reading: Record‑High Ethereum Open Interest Signals Institutional Confidence Truth Social Bitcoin And Ethereum ETF According to the registration statement dated June 16, the proposed ETF would hold 75% of its assets in Bitcoin and the remaining 25% in Ethereum. If the SEC clears the way, the fund will list on NYSE Arca under a sponsor agreement with Yorkville America Digital. The plan is to store both coins in direct custody, meaning the ETF will actually hold the digital tokens rather than futures contracts or other derivatives. Crypto.com Handles Custody And Staking Based on reports, Crypto.com will serve as the ETF’s sole custodian and prime execution agent. The company will also provide staking and liquidity services for the Ethereum portion. That setup could ease SEC concerns, given the regulator’s focus on secure storage and clear oversight. Still, there’s no guarantee the ETF will win approval. Past spot crypto ETF proposals have faced delays and rejections due to worries over market manipulation and investor protection. Trump Mobile Smartphone and Service Plan At a media event in Trump Tower, US President Donald Trump’s organization introduced “Trump Mobile,” a new phone and network service.

In the past month, big Ethereum wallets have been quietly piling on more Ether while small investors pull their profits. Activity on the network has been choppy but the heavy hitters have not slowed down. Retail traders, by contrast, have been cashing out as prices hover in a narrow range. Related Reading: Crypto Bloodbath: Over $1 Billion Liquidated As Iran-Israel Tensions Erupt Whales And Sharks Increasing Holdings According to data from Santiment, wallets holding between 1,000 and 100,000 ETH have added a net total of nearly 1.5 million ETH over the last 30 days. That boost represents a 3.70% rise in their combined holdings. These so‑called whales and sharks now control over 41 million ETH, or about a quarter of all Ether in circulation. It’s a clear sign that large traders see value in Ethereum at these levels, even as the market trades sideways. ???? There are currently 6,392 wallets holding between 1K and 100K Ethereum. Over the past month alone, these key whale and shark wallets have rapidly added more coins as retail traders have taken profit. During these past 30 days, a net of +1.49M more $ETH has been accumulated by… pic.twitter.com/1hPBTuAOrL — Santiment (@santimentfeed) June 13, 2025 Sideways Trading And Price Moves Ethereum’s price action has been muted. Based on reports from CoinGecko, Ether is up 5% in the last 14 days and 5.4% over the past month. It’s trading around $2,625 almost 45% below its all‑time high. The slow grind suggests neither buyers nor sellers have full conviction. Still, big holders continue to stack coins, waiting for the next catalyst. Rising Activity On Layer 2 And Services On‑chain data shows whales directing attention to specific services. Transaction volume in Ethereum Name Service jumped over 300% in the second week of July. Lending protocols on Ethereum saw a more than 200% rise. Meanwhile, transfers of USDC on layer 2 networks—Base, Arbitrum and Optimism—all posted triple‑digit gains. These numbers point to growing use of scaling layers and services beyond simple trading. Spot ETF Inflows Update Institutional interest has been strong too. US spot Ether products saw inflows for 19 straight days before a small pullback. That streak brought in $1.37 billion, mostly into BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust. On the day the run ended, the funds recorded just a little over $2 million in outflows. It’s a minor wobble in what has so far been a solid embrace of Ether by big financial firms. Related Reading: Amid Bitcoin Hype, Seasoned Trader Predicts Sudden Drop To This Level Big Appetite Meanwhile, big wallets keep buying while smaller traders lock in gains. Network activity on services and layer 2s is surging. And institutions are still putting fresh dollars into Ethereum via ETFs. For now, Ether sits in a tight range. But when demand meets a clear price trigger, that quiet build‑up of coins in big wallets could push things to the upside. Featured image from Imagen, chart from TradingView
