XRP ETF News: Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ Goes Live, XRP Price Surges
The post XRP ETF News: Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ Goes Live, XRP Price Surges appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
XRP is finding its strength again after a turbulent week, climbing more than 8 percent in the past 24 hours to trade near $2.03. While the broader crypto market is showing signs of recovery, XRP’s bounce is noticeably stronger.
This renewed momentum comes at the perfect time, as Franklin Templeton’s long-awaited XRP ETF goes live under the ticker XRPZ. With NYSE approval secured last week, the launch is already shaping up to be one of the biggest developments for XRP this month.
Franklin Templeton XRP ETF Set for a High-Volume Debut
The launch of XRPZ carries heavy expectations, especially after the huge success of Bitcoin ETFs. Analysts believe day-one demand could be much higher than typical ETF debuts.
Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber predicts the fund might generate 15 million to 50 million XRP in trading volume on the first day, equal to roughly $30 million.
He also pointed out that Franklin Templeton usually grows its ETF inflows gradually, which means interest could continue building as more financial advisors start allocating to XRPZ.
The ETF is beginning with a relatively small seed capital, so most of the first wave of trading activity is likely to come from fresh inflows rather than preloaded liquidity. With a 0.19 percent sponsor fee waived on the first $5 billion until mid-2026, XRPZ is also stepping into the market with a cost advantage that could attract larger institutional investors.
XRP ETFs Begin Outshining BTC and ETH Products
XRPZ enters an ETF landscape that has already gained momentum thanks to Bitwise and Canary Capital. Their spot XRP ETFs, which launched earlier this month, have already drawn more than $422 million in net inflows since November 14.
Even during a volatile market week, these two funds pulled in $179.6 million, far outweighing the sharp outflows seen in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which lost more than $1.7 billion combined.
Bitwise briefly became the largest US XRP ETF by daily trading volume on November 21, but that position could quickly shift. Franklin Templeton’s arrival, alongside Grayscale’s own XRP ETF launch, is expected to boost liquidity and reshape the rankings once again.

Growing Confidence in XRP’s Long-Term Utility
The ETF excitement is lifting sentiment around XRP’s long-term potential. A recent Forbes report outlined a possible $5.25 target for 2030, while analyst Egrag Crypto noted that XRP continues to hold key monthly support despite market pressure.
On the development front, a Ripple engineer also hinted at future staking features for the XRP Ledger, adding more utility to the network.
Analysts are increasingly bullish because they believe XRP’s real-world utility will play a major role in future ETF demand. Black Swan Capitalist compared owning XRP today to securing a spot on a lifeboat before the rest of the market sees trouble ahead.
Paul Barron added that XRP could replace parts of traditional finance thanks to its lack of counterparty risk, its role as a global bridge asset, and its automatic usage growth as more stablecoins and tokenized assets enter the market.

Investors Pull Millions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs Ahead of Powell’s Speech
Highlights: Investors withdrew millions from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs ahead of Powell’s speech. Bitcoin trades near $113,000 support, while Ethereum holds just above $4,200 levels. Analysts see mixed trends, citing liquidity sell-offs and weakening on-chain profitability signals. A few hours before Fed Chair Jerome Powell spoke at 11:30 a.m. ET, investors pulled large amounts from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. This showed caution in the market. Bitcoin is trading near key support levels, and Powell’s speech could decide its next direction. Bitcoin ETFs See Major Outflows On September 22, neither spot Bitcoin ETFs nor Ethereum ETFs had any new inflows, reflecting a risk-off mood among investors. Bitcoin ETFs posted a total net outflow of $363.17 million, led by Fidelity’s FBTC with $276.68 million. Ark & 21Shares followed with $52.30 million, Grayscale’s GBTC withdrew $24.65 million, and VanEck’s HOLD had a small sale of $9.54 million. Overall trading reached $3.43 billion, with total net assets at $148.09 billion, showing strong user activity and growing confidence in the asset. This represents 6.59% of the total Bitcoin market capitalization. Ethereum ETFs Face $76 Million Outflow On the other hand, Ethereum ETFs recorded a total net outflow of $75.95 million on Monday. Fidelity’s FETH led with $33.12 million, followed by Bitwise ETHW and Grayscale ETH at $22.30 million and $5.4 million, respectively. BlackRock’s ETHA withdrew $15.07 million. None of the nine ETFs saw any inflows that day. The total trading value of Ethereum ETFs reached $2.06 billion, showing steady market activity and a strong industry position. Net assets stood at $27.52 billion, representing 5.45% of Ethereum’s total market capitalization. The outflows follow a pattern of ups and downs seen earlier this year. Ethereum ETFs saw a change in investor interest. Fidelity and Bitwise led most of the withdrawals. BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum ETF had some inflows that partially balanced the trend. Since their launch in July last year, spot Ethereum ETFs have gathered more than $13 billion in total net inflows. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s legacy trust experienced outflows exceeding $4.5 billion, as investors shifted to newer, lower-fee options. Outflows often happen when Bitcoin’s price becomes volatile. Investors usually pull funds if the price drops below key support levels. On September 22, spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded total net outflows of $363 million, with none of the 12 funds seeing inflows. Spot Ethereum ETFs saw total net outflows of $75.95 million, with all nine funds posting no inflows.https://t.co/Hj2Gs49bWa pic.twitter.com/YqCrJSMnIg — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 23, 2025 Fed’s Recent Rate Cut and Market Impact Today’s speech follows the Fed’s recent rate cut. The quarter-point cut lowered rates to 4.00%-4.25%. Powell said the move was for risk management, not aggressive easing. He added that risks to jobs have increased. The Fed decided to take another step toward a neutral policy. Markets are waiting to see if the Fed will stay cautious or signal more rate cuts. This decision could guide Bitcoin’s next move. BTC is trading around $113,000, with support near $111,000. Ethereum is just above $4,200. The Fear & Greed Index is at 40, showing neutral sentiment. Analysts have different views. Joao Wedson from Alphractal says BTC’s cycle “is losing momentum” as on-chain profits fall. Michaël van de Poppe refers to the drop as a “classic liquidity sell-off” which could trigger a rebound. Altcoins now come into view for some analysts as the next opportunity. The altcoin-season index last reached a record high since last year with rising rotation. Bitcoin is already showing signs of cycle exhaustion — and very few are seeing it.
