Vanguard has listed a complete range of XRP spot ETFs on its brokerage platform, signaling a major shift in its stance on digital asset products.
The listings appear under the firm’s “Non-Vanguard Funds” section as part of its Digital Assets category.
The move marks a critical moment for mainstream access to XRP investment products. The decision aligns with rising demand for regulated crypto exposure.
Vanguard opens platform to XRP spot ETFs
The products from Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, REX-Osprey, ProShares, and others are already visible on Vanguard’s interface.
Arthur, a community analyst, shared a screenshot showing the lineup and noted that the platform had integrated the funds without prior fanfare.
Another user said Vanguard “went full XRP mode,” adding that the development signaled that broader liquidity could now enter the market.
XRP commentator Zach Rector stated that Vanguard enabled crypto ETF access only after XRP products arrived on the platform.
He observed that XRP listings appeared to coincide with the firm’s decision to allow other digital-asset funds.
ETFStore president Nate Geraci said Vanguard had “finally caved,” as the firm now supports spot Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs.
Geraci recalled that he predicted this shift in late 2024 as institutional demand continued to build.
Analyst Chad Steingraber said the listings will speed up inflows at a pace that exceeds his earlier estimates.
Despite this shift, Vanguard said it will not introduce its own crypto ETFs and will only offer approved third-party products that meet regulatory requirements.
Leadership changes drive a major policy reversal
The update represents one of the most substantial policy reversals in Vanguard’s history. The $11 trillion asset manager previously rejected crypto ETF access altogether.
Former CEO Tim Buckley warned investors against placing Bitcoin in long-term portfolios and maintained a cautious view on digital assets.
However, leadership changed in 2024 when former BlackRock ETF executive Salim Ramji became Vanguard’s CEO.
The investor demand and rising institutional participation pressed the firm to adjust its policy.
Starting Tuesday, clients can trade selected crypto ETFs and crypto-focused mutual funds. Vanguard will handle these products in a manner similar to its gold-based offerings.
Meanwhile, interest in XRP exchange-traded products continues to climb. SoSoValue data shows that spot XRP ETFs have recorded $756.26 million in net inflows.
Total assets now stand at $723 million after only 11 trading days. Analysts noted that XRP ETFs have not reported a single day of outflows.
Inflow surges included $243 million on Nov. 14 during Canary Capital’s launch and $164 million on Nov. 24 when Grayscale and Franklin Templeton listed their funds. Another $89.65 million entered the market on Monday.
