HashKey Capital has launched the HashKey XRP Tracker Fund, the first fund in Asia focused exclusively on tracking the performance of XRP.
The fund is now open to professional investors. Ripple is backing the initiative as an early investor.
Institutional Interest in XRP Investment Continues to Grow
According to HashKey, XRP offers a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional cross-border payment systems. The new tracker fund aligns with HashKey Capital’s goal of connecting conventional finance with digital asset markets.
The fund allows investors to subscribe using either cash or in-kind contributions. Investors can redeem or subscribe to shares on a monthly basis.
CF Benchmarks, known for its role in global ETF markets, will provide the fund’s benchmark.
“XRP stands out as one of the most innovative cryptocurrencies in today’s market, attracting global enterprises who use it to transact, tokenize, and store value. With the first XRP Tracker Fund available in the region, we simplify access to XRP, catering to the demand for investment opportunities in the very best digital assets,” said Vivien Wong, Partner at HashKey Capital.
Most recently, Ripple acquired prime brokerage platform Hidden Road for $1.25 billion. It was one of the largest acquisition deals in the crypto and blockchain space.
Earlier today, Hidden Road secured a broker-dealer license from the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA).
Meanwhile, XRP continues to gain traction with institutional investors. Standard Chartered recently forecast that XRP could surpass Ethereum by 2028, citing increased demand for efficient cross-border payment solutions and growing disruption in global trade.
“XRP is uniquely positioned at the heart of one of the fastest-growing uses for digital assets – facilitation of cross-border and cross-currency payments. In this way, XRPL is similar to the main use case for stablecoins such as Tether. This stablecoin use has grown 50% annually over the past two years, and we expect stablecoin transactions to increase 10x over the next four years. We think this bodes well for XRPL’s throughput growth, given the similar use cases for stablecoins and XRPL,” Geoff Kendrick, Standard Chartered’s Head of Digital Assets Research, told BeInCrypto.
Interest in XRP ETFs is also increasing. Teucrium Investment Advisors recently received NYSE Arca approval for the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP), the first leveraged XRP ETF in the United States.
Also, attention is now turning to spot XRP ETFs. Grayscale and 21Shares are both awaiting decisions from the SEC on their XRP-based products.
The SEC has up to 240 days to review the Grayscale XRP Trust and the 21Shares Core XRP Trust, with final deadlines set for October 18 and 19, 2025.
XRP’s price has declined by nearly 20% over the past month, but institutional confidence remains high.
Ripple recently confirmed progress in resolving its long-standing legal battle with the SEC. A joint motion to pause court proceedings was approved, giving both parties 60 more days to finalize a settlement.
