Xaif’s latest post on X has thrown fresh light on a topic rippling across crypto markets: the rising demand for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The discussion originated from a video conversation between Jay of MilkRoadDaily and James Seyffart, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, who shared insights on how XRP products compare to peers such as Solana. Futures Signal Institutional Appetite Derivatives markets are often the proving ground for institutional demand, and XRP appears to be passing the test. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) introduced Solana futures earlier this year, followed by XRP futures in May 2025 . Seyffart underscored this timing, noting: “Ironically enough, there’s also leverage futures XRP and XRP products. They actually launched after the Solana products and had even more interest.” That surge in activity suggests XRP’s appeal extends beyond retail speculation. The surge in XRP futures volumes and open interest shows that professional traders and funds are using derivatives to access the asset, potentially positioning themselves ahead of the introduction of spot products. XRP ETF HYPE IS REAL Bloomberg Sr. Analyst confirms: “Futures XRP & $XRP products… launched after Solana’s & seeing MORE interest!” XRP ETF could become a long-term institutional favorite. Demand building. Momentum growing. pic.twitter.com/cVxM3a5RZs — Xaif Crypto | (@Xaif_Crypto) September 4, 2025 Beyond Bitcoin-Level Expectations While enthusiasm is building, Seyffart was careful to temper expectations: “Is it going to be the level of interest that a Bitcoin ETF launch had? Absolutely not. Like anyone who thinks, like, oh, Bitcoin ETFs took in 40 billion, my, you know, XRP ETF is going to take in the same amount… that’s just not how this is going to work.” The message is clear: Bitcoin remains the benchmark for institutional crypto inflows. However, Seyffart emphasized that XRP belongs to a growing class of “longer-tail assets” with real but more modest demand curves. In his view, ETFs tied to XRP and similar altcoins will not break records overnight, but they can still attract steady flows and secure a position in diversified institutional portfolios.

There’ll be plenty. There will probably be multiple products for each of these assets to do well,” he explained. That forecast suggests that if the SEC eventually approves an XRP ETF, investors may see competing issuers launch parallel products, further enhancing liquidity and accessibility. Institutional Demand Is No Longer a Hypothetical What Xaif’s post highlights is that institutional interest in XRP has already moved from theory to practice. Futures, leveraged products, and staking-enabled vehicles are live and attracting users. This makes an eventual ETF less about speculative hype and more about extending an existing pipeline of institutional engagement. For XRP holders, the implications are significant. A regulated ETF would not only validate the asset at a new level but also invite capital from pensions, wealth managers, and treasuries that are constrained from direct crypto exposure. While expectations must remain grounded, the foundation is being laid for XRP to transition from retail favorite to institutional fixture.
