WisdomTree Launches XRP ETP on Major European Exchanges

As a seasoned researcher with years of experience in the financial industry, I must say that this latest move by Wisdomtree is both fascinating and reassuring. Fascinating because it signals the maturation of cryptocurrencies as a legitimate investment class, and reassuring because it brings a touch of regulatory certainty to an otherwise volatile market.


Financial firm WisdomTree has debuted its fresh cryptocurrency exchange-traded offering, known as the WisdomTree Physical XRP (XRPW), on key European stock markets such as Deutsche Börse Xetra, Six Swiss Exchange, and exchanges like Euronext in Paris and Amsterdam.

With this fresh XRP Exchange-Traded Product (ETP), investors can easily and safely track the fluctuations in XRP’s value. It comes with an affordable management fee of 0.50%, making it accessible for many. This ETP is fully collateralized with XRP, ensuring a direct correlation to its current market price.

With WisdomTree’s design, your assets are held securely using a two-tiered custody system, where regulated custodians and cold storage safeguard them. This approach aims to provide investors with an easy and cost-effective method for investing in XRP. According to Alexis Marinof, Head of Europe at WisdomTree, this is their goal.

The demand for Wisdomtree’s Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) based on cryptocurrencies is increasing. These ETPs provide a secure way to invest in digital assets as they are regulated. This latest addition to their portfolio encompasses Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and assorted crypto baskets.

The XRP Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) is accessible in various countries including Germany, France, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland. British investors, on the other hand, have the opportunity to invest in the physical Bitcoin and Ethereum ETPs offered by Wisdomtree as well.

In the face of persistent legal disputes involving XRP with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), there’s a rising curiosity in investment products tied to XRP. Companies such as Bitwise, 21shares, and Grayscale have even submitted applications for XRP-oriented ETFs, indicating a growing appetite for varied crypto investment options.

This action by Wisdomtree highlights the increasing popularity of Cryptocurrency Exchange-Traded Products (ETPs) as a preferred choice among investors seeking legitimate and secure avenues to invest in digital currencies.
