It also supports tokenization of real-world assets through the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and is already used by several financial institutions and businesses globally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This marks the venture capital firm\u2019s third crypto tracking product, following previous Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) funds launched with Bosera. If it gets regulatory approval, the XRP Tracker Fund could be converted into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the next one to two years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Further, the two companies plan to collaborate on other investment products: DeFi solutions for cross-border payments and asset tokenization projects. Another idea under consideration is the creation of a money market fund on XRPL.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Expanding Blockchain Adoption<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wong said the partnership would combine both companies\u2019 strengths, HashKey Capital\u2019s network of investors, regulators, and financial institutions in Asia, and Ripple\u2019s experience in blockchain and digital payments. She added that this collaboration would support joint efforts in areas like enterprise blockchain adoption and financial infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiona Murray, managing director of APAC at Ripple, said more institutional investors are looking for regulated crypto products, and this fund is a step toward meeting that demand in Asia. She also noted that the Asian firm\u2019s strong regional presence could help support broader crypto and blockchain growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The announcement comes as the four-year legal battle between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reached a <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/breaking-ripple-news-sec-will-drop-appeal-xrp-price-reacts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\">conclusion<\/a> with the former agreeing to pay a $50 million fine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that the case has been resolved, the path appears open for XRP ETFs in the U.S., with at least seven firms preparing to launch them.
