Social media commentator Chad Steingraber, who posted real-time updates on the day of the launch, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChadSteingraber\/status\/1991592257854795785?s=20\">noted<\/a> the fund\u2019s volume passed the $23 million mark with ninety minutes left to trade.\u00a0This performance makes it the third biggest ETF debut of the year, after Canary\u2019s XRP offering and Bitwise\u2019s Solana ETF.<\/p>\n<p>However, it came against a difficult backdrop for digital assets. On the same day, Bitcoin <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/bitcoin-price-dips-toward-81k-liquidations-approach-2-billion\/\">fell<\/a> to a seven-month low near $88,000, dragging major altcoins like Ethereum and XRP down with it.<\/p>\n<p>The Ripple token\u2019s price <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/ripples-xrp-hit-2-03-for-a-reason-analysts-say-the-macro-bottom-is-in\/\">tested<\/a> the critical $2.00 support level, a key zone that analysts like CasiTrades have identified as potentially marking the bottom of its current correction. It has since given in, and the asset now trades well below it.<\/p>\n<h2>Market Impact and Future Outlook<\/h2>\n<p>The immediate success of two XRP-focused ETFs has sparked discussion about their long-term effect on the token\u2019s supply. In a series of posts on X, Steingraber <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChadSteingraber\/status\/1991631748526944448?s=20\">projected<\/a> that if the current adoption rate continues, ETF issuers could collectively acquire millions of XRP tokens daily.<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that with just two funds, daily acquisitions could already be around 6 million XRP, potentially growing significantly as more products enter the market.<\/p>\n<p>This institutional demand could create a new dynamic for the underlying asset, which has one of the most dedicated retail communities in crypto, often referred to as the \u201cXRP Army.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/xrp-etf-debut-battle-how-bitwises-launch-day-matched-up-against-canarys-xrpc\/\">XRP ETF Debut Battle: How Bitwise\u2019s Launch Day Matched Up Against Canary\u2019s XRPC<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptopotato.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP) began trading on the New York Stock Exchange yesterday, marking the second U.S. fund to offer direct 100% exposure to the Ripple-linked asset.
