Second fastest crypto ETF ever to surpass $1B after Bitcoin.
Total assets reached $992.94M as of Feb 11, 2026 — roughly 1.18% of XRP market cap.Daily trading volume peaked at $54M, showing strong liquidity.35 consecutive days without capital outflows — a record for crypto ETFs.

Conservative scenario: $3–$3.50 per XRPBullish scenario: up to $8 per XRP if inflows continue.

My conclusion:
• XRP ETFs show that smart money sees value beyond speculation.
• Bitcoin and Ethereum grab the headlines, but XRP is quietly building real infrastructure and investor trust.
