US ETF investors can finally have exposure to XRP, thanks to REX-Osprey’s XRPR fund. The fund is not a traditional and pure “spot ETF.” Instead, the issuer has restricted the fund to comply with regulations. However, an XRP exchange-traded fund exposure was long-awaited in the US. Let’s discuss if the ETF can push the asset’s price to the $5 mark by the end of this year.
Will ETF Inflows Push XRP’s Price To The $5 Mark by 2025-End?
ETFs have played a significant role in the current market cycle. Bitcoin (BTC) has hit multiple all-time highs since the SEC approved 11 spot ETFs in 2024. Ethereum (ETH) also hit a new all-time high earlier this year, thanks to consistent ETF inflows. There is a chance that XRP will also see a similar pattern.
According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, REX-Osprey’s XRP ETF saw $37.7 million in inflows on its first day. This marks the biggest natural debut volume of any 2025 ETF launch. The figures suggest that the fund could be taking off.
However, despite the big ETF launch, XRP’s price continues to struggle. The market has been quite fragile, and it has been slow to recover. XRP’s price may have fallen prey to the larger bearish market environment.
XRP’s price could pick up steam over the coming months. Apart from REX-Osprey’s XRPR fund, there are several other XRP ETF applications awaiting approval at the SEC. There is a very high chance that we will get a traditional spot XRP ETF sometime this year, unlike REX-Osprey’s non-traditional ETF.

An ETF approval will likely lead to a surge in institutional investments. Institutional money has been key in Bitcoin and Ethereum’s rise to new peaks. XRP could breach the $5 mark if it follows a similar trajectory to BTC.
