@slithering999@RippleXrpie Yes it was, but structured differently for quicker approval and compliance. As a result it’s not a pure XRP spot ETF. You’re right
@Buttwiper10000@RippleXrpie Correct me if I’m wrong. To my understanding it’s a spot ETF corresponding to the 1x performance of the XRP spot price, just structured differently under Investment Company Act of 1940… but still classified as a spot ETF by the SEC.
@Devils518Paul@RippleXrpie Still a spot ETF, just structured differently for quicker approval. Canary is solely holdingXRP for the ETF, Rex is what could be referred to as a mixed back for compliance and approval. It holds roughly 80% XRP along with cash, U.S. Treasuries, and certain derivatives.
@KillaDent@RipBullWinkle Also let’s read that again lol I agreed with you. Facts: the Canary XRP ETF is a pure spot XRP ETF with direct crypto exposure and a simple regulatory approach, while the Rex Osprey XRP ETF incorporates a more complex asset mix under stricter regulatory oversight.
@KillaDent@RipBullWinkle XRPR Spot ETF includes
- Majority direct holdings of spot XRP.
- A significant portion invested in XRP-backed ETFs.
- Additional regulatory-compliant assets like cash, derivatives, or Treasuries to meet fund structure requirements.
@BrianBensorut@RippleXrpie Nah it was a spot ETF. The fund uses a hybrid structure under the Investment Company Act of 1940, investing primarily in spot XRP along with some XRP-backed exchange-traded products to comply with regulatory requirements. This makes it the first U.S.-listed spot XRP ETF.
A great vid here by @KuwlShow
I know people get triggered by videos like this.
However, I think the first 4 mins describe what I think @Ripple and $XRP are trying / succeeding to achieve.
