The post XRP ETF Posts Year’s Strongest Debut With $58 Million in First-Day Trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF recorded $58 million in first-day volume, edging out Bitwise’s Solana ETF. XRPC is the first spot fund of its kind in the U.S. and cleared early analyst forecasts on debut.

XRPC’s debut performance came as broader crypto markets spent the day in the red, down 3.5% in market capitalization terms to $3.43 trillion, per CoinGecko data. Bitcoin slipped 3.4% percent and Ether followed lower at 6.7%. Solana dropped about 5% on the day to $145, giving back part of its rally tied to BSOL’s earlier launch. Analysts say the scale of the debut points to strong demand for crypto exposure outside the established Bitcoin and Ether complex. “XRP has one of the strongest and most persistent retail communities in crypto, a level of fandom that’s difficult to quantify but has… The post XRP ETF Posts Year’s Strongest Debut With $58 Million in First-Day Trading appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
