An XRP ETF has launched in Brazil, expanding regulated crypto investment and supporting XRP’s global adoption.

Global crypto asset manager Hashdex announced on April 25 via social media platform X the launch of XRPH11, which it described as “the world’s first XRP ETF” and “another crypto milestone on the Brazilian stock exchange.” The launch marks a significant expansion of crypto investment products within Brazil’s regulated financial markets and underscores Hashdex’s ambition to drive innovation in the sector.

The asset management firm elaborated on the significance of the XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) for investors, stating:

Hashdex just launched XRPH11, giving investors secure and regulated access to XRP — one of the leading crypto assets focused on fast, low-cost international payments.

This milestone is the ninth crypto ETF launched by Hashdex in Brazil and its 33rd product offered globally. The new ETF strengthens Hashdex’s presence in Latin America’s evolving crypto economy, where regulatory clarity and investor protection are increasingly influencing product design. Hashdex aims to leverage these dynamics to broaden the scope of accessible and compliant crypto investment vehicles.

In addition to highlighting the launch, Hashdex reaffirmed its broader goals for the future of crypto investing. The company reiterated its strategic commitment to expanding financial access: “We continue expanding access to the crypto economy, offering investors trusted, regulated, and efficient ways to participate in the future of finance.”

Furthermore, the firm emphasized its enduring mission to transform the investment landscape:

At Hashdex, our mission remains clear: Democratize crypto investing with products that are safe, accessible, and regulated.

This vision supports a broader trend toward integrating digital assets within traditional financial systems while maintaining investor protections and regulatory oversight.

Momentum is building around the potential approval of an XRP ETF in the U.S. This development comes after Ripple Labs settled its longstanding lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), removing a significant regulatory hurdle. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed confidence in the inevitability of an XRP ETF, citing growing institutional and retail demand. The crypto-friendly stance of the Trump administration has further bolstered optimism, with President Donald Trump urging the inclusion of XRP in the U.S. government’s crypto reserve. Additionally, CME Group’s announcement to launch XRP futures on May 19 indicates increasing institutional interest in XRP. While the SEC’s review process is still ongoing, these developments suggest that an XRP ETF could soon become a reality.
