Ripple Surges as CoinShare Launches Ripple-Based ETP

Ripple (XRP) has spiked to a new three-year high to almost $2 as Europe’s largest cryptocurrency investment firm, CoinShare, launches an XRP-focused ETP.

After releasing exchange-traded products (ETP) for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin, CoinShares has trained its focus on an XRP ETP. The Europe-based crypto investment firm revealed that the XRP ETP would get listed on the regulated Six Swiss Exchange, and each unit will get backing from physical tokens, just like previous projects.

Despite the ongoing legal issue with the SEC, Ripple continues to see widespread adoption across the globe. CoinShare noted that its decision to launch an XRP-based ETP got triggered by the recent performance of the XRP.

The new ETP will get listed in the SIX Swiss Exchange bearing the ticker XRPL, which got developed by CoinShare’s very own CoinShare Physical.

Each unit of the ETP, backed by the US dollar, will represent 40 tokens at launch and would have a base fee of 1.5% p.a.

Townsend Lansing, Head of Product at Coin, noted that the launch of this product comes amid a frenzied adoption by retailers.

That said, XRPL will be the eighth ETP released by CoinShare and the fourth since the beginning of the year.
