  • Ripple’s XRP is now the third-largest position in the $1.25 billion Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF, the BITW.
  • Institutional demand for XRP ETFs is increasing, with inflows approaching the billion-dollar mark.

Bitwise has reiterated its confidence in XRP as the token’s adoption among crypto exchange-traded funds in the US continues to grow. According to Bitwise, XRP is “a crypto asset with the potential to reshape how the world moves money.”

XRP becomes BITW’s third largest holding

XRP is now in the top 3 in the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (NYSE: BITW). Bitwise confirmed that XRP has become the third largest position in the $1.25 billion BITW fund, accounting for 5.17% of total TVL. XRP follows Bitcoin with 74.3% and Ethereum with 15.54% share of the fund.

Solana follows with 3.06%, while other assets such as Cardano, Chainlink, Litecoin, Sui, Avalanche and Polkadot hold less than 1% each.

In addition to BITW’s performance, Bitwise’s XRP ETF also achieved excellent performance. Among newly launched crypto funds, the ETF has been one of the most consistent performers since its debut on November 20th. Bitwise’s fund has raised a total of $192.76 million in inflows and now holds approximately 100 million XRP, with assets approaching $200 million.

On the other hand, institutional demand for the asset has increased significantly. Inflows into the XRP ETFs are slowly approaching the billion dollar mark, with the billion will be reached after another $60 million. XRP ETFs are on track to become the fastest product to reach this mark since the Ethereum ETF launched in 2024.

To demonstrate the growth, data from Sosovalue on December 4 showed that spot XRP exchange-traded funds recorded a daily net inflow of $12.84 million, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs recorded net outflows.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading after a marginally negative move for 2,06 $ traded. Despite a series of positive developments, the token has come under pressure in the last few days and has seen almost 6 % lost.

Meanwhile, Europe’s MiCA rules have created new avenues for compliant XRP trading, allowing licensed operators in countries such as Germany, France and Switzerland to process institutional volume via RippleNet. As already mentioned in our report,Germany leads the EU with 36% of MiCAR licenses and has developed into a crypto hub through its early regulatory readiness. Ripple executives have predicted a 35% increase in cross-border settlement volumes in Europe compared to last year. In particular, transaction volume on RippleNet increased by 7.4% quarter-on-quarter.
