The momentum behind XRP is reaching a historic high as ProShares prepares to officially launch its XRP futures ETF on July 18, 2025. This ETF marks a landmark for both Ripple’s ecosystem and institutional investors—it will be the first U.S.-based XRP futures ETF, giving Wall Street a regulated and familiar way to gain exposure to XRP’s price movement.
XRP Enters the ETF Arena
The ProShares XRP ETF is expected to bring a surge of capital and attention to the XRP market. Similar to what happened with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the launch of a futures-based ETF could trigger a significant increase in volume, speculation, and potentially price.
As of now, XRP trades around $2.70, with analysts identifying strong momentum and technical patterns pointing toward a breakout past $3.00. Traders are closely watching the July 18 launch date, anticipating a bullish rally once institutional exposure kicks in.
Unlike spot ETFs that require the purchase of the actual token, futures ETFs allow price speculation without directly holding XRP—but the market response can still be powerful. Investor sentiment is heating up, and the ETF is seen as a key step in legitimizing XRP further in mainstream finance.
RealFI Launches $REAL on XRP Ledger
While Wall Street embraces XRP through ProShares, another revolution is unfolding in real estate.
RealFI, a blockchain real estate platform, has successfully launched the $REAL token on the XRP Ledger on June 7, 2025. With this move, RealFI officially kicks off its mission to tokenize the $654.39 trillion global real estate market.
Built on the fast, low-cost, and scalable XRP Ledger, the $REAL token aims to become a universal currency for the real estate industry, enabling:
Rent payments
Property purchases
Investment in real estate portfolios
Fractional ownership and smart contracts for global property deals
With a hard cap of 100 million tokens, $REAL is designed as a scarce, utility-driven digital asset—bringing trust, transparency, and efficiency to one of the world’s most traditional and complex industries.
XRP Ledger: The Foundation of the Future
Both these major milestones—the ProShares ETF and the launch of $REAL—highlight one key truth: The XRP Ledger is no longer just about cross-border payments. It’s becoming a full-scale financial infrastructure.
ProShares brings in traditional finance and institutional investors.
RealFI brings in real estate and real-world assets.
Together, they represent real-world use cases, mass adoption, and blockchain utility—all anchored to XRP.
