- Franklin Templeton and Bitwise will launch XRP ETFs this week, and analysts expect strong institutional demand.
- Technical indicators show potential upside as XRP holds key support and prepares for a possible rebound.
XRP is moving into one of its most significant weeks of 2025. Franklin Templeton and Bitwise are preparing to introduce new spot ETFs as market data shows rising whale interest and stabilizing price action.
Big ETF Issuers Enter the XRP Market
According to analysts, Franklin Templeton will introduce its XRP-spot ETF, EZRP, on November 18, positioning itself to become the largest issuer of XRP-focused funds by assets under management.
The firm’s standing in the ETF landscape positions it to capture stronger inflows than Canary Capital’s XRPC, which benefited from a first-to-market advantage but saw trading volumes fall sharply after launch.
Franklin Templeton ranks 19th among ETF issuers with $43.16 billion in assets under management, giving it a reputation that many investors trust.
🚨UPDATE: FRANKLIN TEMPLETON’S XRP ETF (EZRP) GOES LIVE TUESDAY 🚨
…and Bitwise is right behind it on November 20. 😳🔥

Bitwise is set to follow on November 20 with its own XRP ETF. The firm recently successfully rolled out a Solana ETF, strengthening expectations that a meaningful segment of hedge funds, family offices, and traditional institutions will participate. Bitwise manages $5.74 billion in assets and has maintained a consistent presence in the crypto ETF sector.
The arrival of two established issuers comes at a critical time. BlackRock continues to dominate Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs but has not yet announced plans for an XRP product.
Without an iShares XRP Trust on the market, Franklin Templeton and Bitwise effectively assume the leadership role for institutional XRP exposure. Their early flow trends will likely determine the token’s near-term direction.
XRP Price Maintains Momentum
XRP continues to trade with heightened activity ahead of the ETF launches. The token exchanged hands at $2.27 on Monday, posting a 0.58% daily increase and extending its seven-day gain to 8.60%. Trading volume surged by more than 45% to over $4.36 billion, indicating robust investor participation ahead of key catalysts.
XRP’s total market value now stands at roughly $136.6 billion. Whale behavior has also drawn attention. Santiment recorded 716 XRP transactions valued above $1 million in a single day, levels last seen four months ago.
Technical Indicators Signal Possible Upside Breakout
Technical signals indicate a potential near-term rebound. XRP is testing support near $2.43 inside a descending channel, following a rejection from resistance around $2.55. A TD Buy signal has appeared, indicating potential for a bullish reversal. The blue moving average remains above the red, indicating underlying strength.
The MACD continues to trend above zero, reinforcing buyer momentum. Price action recently bounced off the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement zone, a level often associated with continuation patterns. If the weekly candle closes above the green support band, analysts expect a move toward $2.52, with additional resistance projected at $3.66, $4.12, and $4.71.
Market voices remain cautiously optimistic. EGRAG Crypto noted that XRP’s 15% drop after the first ETF launch mirrors the behavior of Bitcoin, which dipped 20% after its debut. Javon Marks emphasized XRP’s history of strong rebounds during periods of doubt, while Ripple Bull Winkle highlighted that Canary’s initial ETF volume even surpassed BlackRock’s early Bitcoin ETF activity.
