Why This ETF Matters for XRP

Analysts say this ETF could cause a “supply shock,” because authorized participants must buy XRP to seed and support the fund.
They also expect demand to rise due to global macro shifts, including what analyst Jake Claver calls the “reverse carry trade”—a situation where rising rates in Japan could trigger huge financial flows into other assets, including crypto.

Claver says this domino effect could push XRP into a major long-term demand cycle, especially if institutions begin treating it as real payment infrastructure.

There is also speculation that BlackRock could launch its own XRP ETF in 2025, adding even more pressure to secure XRP supply.
