ProShares XRP Futures ETF Set to Launch July 18, XRP Surges Over 25% This Week
XRP is attracting renewed investor attention following the confirmation that ProShares will launch its XRP Futures ETF on July 18, 2025.
The move was revealed through a Form N-1A registration filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, listing ProShares Trust as the fund issuer. The ETF aims to provide exposure to XRP futures contracts rather than direct ownership of the cryptocurrency.
The filing outlines plans for the fund to become effective immediately under SEC rules, with the listing date confirmed for mid-July. This development marks a major milestone in XRP’s journey toward broader institutional acceptance, aligning with the wave of crypto-based ETFs introduced this year.
XRP’s market response has been swift. The token climbed to $2.85, posting a 25.76% gain over the past seven days. In the last 24 hours alone, XRP surged 4.72%, accompanied by trading volume exceeding $6.75 billion. With a market capitalization of over $168 billion, XRP currently ranks as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
The XRP Futures ETF is expected to give traditional investors easier access to the asset class through regulated financial products, potentially driving further adoption and volatility as the launch date approaches.

It started in 2016 with Bitcoin. Like most people at the time, he didn't fully understand it - so he kept digging. Blockchain, tokenomics, the projects, the cycles. That curiosity never stopped, and eventually pulled him into traditional markets too: equities, commodities, macro. Not because he left crypto behind, but because you can't properly understand one without the other. What drives him is straightforward: he wants to know why something is happening, not just that it's happening. Most market coverage stops at the headline - price up, price down, here's a chart. Alex finds that kind of reporting actively unhelpful. If you walk away from an article without understanding the mechanism behind the move, what did you actually learn? He holds a degree in Tourism from New Bulgarian University - not the most obvious path into financial markets, but markets have a way of pulling in people who are simply too curious to stay out. He has authored over 200 in-depth analyses and more than 10,000 articles across crypto and traditional finance. He still thinks every day in markets teaches him something new. That's probably why he hasn't stopped.
