XRPZ offers investors a convenient and regulated way to access a digital asset that plays a foundational role in global settlement infrastructure, through the transparency and oversight of an ETF.

Approval from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was required before XRPZ began trading on NYSE Arca.
