As Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) gain massive adoption and recognition in the crypto landscape, an XRP Spot ETF is being hyped as the next potential fund. After Solana registered significant capital inflows following its launch, the token is believed to experience a similar success and even beyond.
If Approved, The XRP ETF Will Surpass Solana
Even though an XRP Spot ETF is yet to hit the market, the fund is already gathering robust attention in the broader cryptocurrency sector. Presently, a bold prediction concerning the anticipated fund is shaking up the crypto conversation.
The latest prediction comes from Steven McClurg, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Canary Capital, during his interview with Paul Barron. According to the CEO, an XRP spot ETF would not merely match the recent success of the Solana spot ETF; rather, it is likely to outperform it.
McClurg’s statement underscores his belief that the token might be the next, and possibly larger, institutional gateway, since Solana ETFs have already demonstrated the viability of altcoin-based spot products. When the fund secures approval from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (US SEC), it is set to be one of the most transformative moments in XRP’s history.
In the interview on the Paul Barron channel, McClurg forecasted that the impending funds would probably double what Solana did in its first week of launch. The CEO points to the altcoin’s liquidity, global utility, and clearer regulatory path, which are fueling his anticipation of major institutional inflows ahead.
To back up his claims, McClurg stated that the altcoin bears similar qualities to HBAR. Compared to both tokens, HBAR’s market cap is low, but the altcoin was able to attract $70 million in ETF inflows in a three-day window after its launch. This was driven by its institutional recognition and the ideal type of interest, which XRP also has. With XRP already ahead of SOL by 50%, this could give it an edge over SOL.
While SOL is often seen as a retail token, XRP is more of a financial services, enterprise, and institutional token. Adding all of these features to an ETF would lead to 100% or 200% of SOL ETFs’ capital inflows for the altcoin.
Futures And Spot Volumes Are On The Rise
Given the bullish performance of the XRP ETF futures and spot, McClurg’s forecast is not far off. Data from X Finance Bull, a web3 enthusiast, shows that the futures and spot are printing green across the market, indicating a dramatic change in momentum as institutional funds start to return to the asset.
There is now over $840 million in Asset Under Management (AUM) flowing into active XRP-based ETFs after months of uncertainty and sideways trading. These funds, which provide utility to the market, were previously criticized following their introduction. However, it is the utility that is currently performing better in the sector.
X Finance Bull has also showcased his robust conviction and expectations toward the XRP spot ETFs. The pundit claims that the impending fund will attract billions to trillions in trading volume if it wins approval from the US SEC.
