XRP draws significant interest from wealth managers

XRP has emerged as the most frequently discussed cryptocurrency among wealth managers during recent industry presentations. According to Bitwise research analyst Ryan Rasmussen, XRP generated more questions from an audience of approximately 400 professionals than other major topics such as Bitcoin, Solana, stablecoins, and tokenization.

While interest is high, a gap exists between curiosity and actual deployment. A survey of the participants revealed that 67% currently hold no cryptocurrency allocation. However, 60% of those surveyed expect prices to rise by the end of the year, and another 60% intend to allocate funds to the asset class within the next year.

Institutional exposure to XRP is also visible through exchange-traded funds and major financial holdings. Data indicates that U.S. spot XRP ETFs have seen significant activity, with roughly $1.68 billion in inflows since their launch in November. Major firms such as Goldman Sachs, Jane Street, and Millennium Management have also disclosed significant institutional positions in the asset.
