- XRP ETFs debut in Canada, involving Purpose and 3iQ.
- First-of-its-kind launch in North America.
- Ripple invests early in 3iQ’s offering.
Ripple’s XRP has made significant headway in North America with the launch of the first spot XRP ETFs by Purpose Investments and 3iQ on the Toronto Stock Exchange on June 18, 2025.
Canada’s approval of the first spot XRP ETFs by major asset managers, including Ripple as an early investor, ushers in new investment opportunities.
Purpose Investments and 3iQ have introduced the first spot XRP ETFs on the Toronto Stock Exchange, marking a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency market. Ripple, the brain behind XRP, is an early investor in the 3iQ XRP ETF, showcasing its involvement in expanding infrastructure.
Purpose Investments, renowned for initiating the first Bitcoin spot ETF, continues its digital asset leadership, while 3iQ follows suit by leveraging its expertise and track record in the cryptocurrency ETF arena. This launch establishes a new industry standard.
The introduction of these ETFs could lead to enhanced institutional interest, similar to previous Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launches in Canada. This impacts XRP’s market position, reinforcing its legitimacy within Canadian markets alongside competing currencies like BTC and ETH.
Institutional investors now have more avenues to fund XRP assets, with offerings compliant with Canadian securities regulations. This move highlights the role of trusted custodians like Gemini and Coinbase in ensuring secure, institutional-grade storage.

The approved ETFs may further stimulate the global crypto investment narrative, potentially impacting regulatory perspectives. Historical trends in N. American markets suggest that such offerings can catalyze investor confidence.
