XRPC Surpasses XRP ETFs in Asset Size

XRPC has surpassed $336 million in assets, overtaking the combined size of every other U.S. spot XRP ETF, according to Canary Capital.

Canary Capital CEO McClurg notes this validates where capital is flowing—investors are not spreading funds across ETFs but backing XRPC as the primary choice. Momentum shows no signs of slowing.
