Why are XRP ETFs Getting Popular?
XRP ETFs have been gaining popularity over the last one and a half months because they address a critical need to bridge people between Web2 and Web3.
Most of XRP’s clients are traditional banks and financial institutions seeking faster, cheaper cross-border and inter-bank settlements. XRP helps them do fund transfers almost instantly and with a fraction of the cost.
However, most people working in traditional finance cannot buy XRP directly for investment due to the required technical expertise and the difficulty of self-custody. However, if an ETF is available, they can easily buy it.
Further, ETFs also help those who want an easier ownership model where the custodian takes care of the technicalities of ownership, and the investor just gives their funds and takes in the profit.
