Canary XRP ETF eyes $400 mln – Will ‘first mover advantage’ boost price?

XRP has recorded strong institutional interest despite the broader market sentiment being weak. 

One of the first asset managers to launch a spot XRP ETF in the U.S., Canary Capital, stated that its product, XRPC, has reached $336 million in net assets under management (AUM).  

The AUM exceeded that of the remaining spot ETFs combined, an update Steven McClurg, founder of Canary Capital, linked to rising investor demand. He added, 

XRP ETFs eye $700M in net inflows

As of press time, there are four spot XRP ETFs that are already live in the U.S.: Grayscale’s GXRP, Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ, Bitwise’s XRP, and Canary’s product. 

Since their debut in mid-November, the products have attracted nearly $700 million in cumulative inflows and not a single day of net outflows.

The overall net assets have also jumped to $687 million and could easily cross $1 billion by the end of the year if the pace of institutional demand remains the same. 

Reacting to Canary’s outperformance, Nate Geraci, Co-Founder of the ETF Institute, linked the growth to the ‘first-mover’ advantage. 

This raises the question: How have institutional flows impacted XRP markets and its price? 

Impact on XRP markets

The sentiment was still mixed after the ETFs debuted. Notably, the Funding Rates turned positive in the second half of November, but have been flipping between positive and negative in the past few days. 

This meant that Futures traders were initially positive and bullish after the ETFs debuted, but have since turned more neutral, adopting a wait-and-see approach to gauge the market’s next move ahead of the Fed rate decision.

End-of-year XRP price targets

However, the positioning by large players in the Options markets illustrated heavy hedging and protection for downside moves to $2.0 or $1.8.

Notably, the Put/Call Ratio was at 1.81 (above 1), indicating more demand for puts (bearish bets) over calls (bullish bets).

Even worse, the players weren’t expecting a sharp move above $3 in December, with the market pricing only 7% chance for such an outcome.

Final Thoughts

  • U.S. spot XRP ETFs have recorded nearly $700 million in cumulative inflows
  • However, short-term market caution was evident in the Options market.

Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle

The post Taiko Makes Chainlink Data Streams Its Official Oracle appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Notes Taiko has officially integrated Chainlink Data Streams for its Layer 2 network. The integration provides developers with high-speed market data to build advanced DeFi applications. The move aims to improve security and attract institutional adoption by using Chainlink’s established infrastructure. Taiko, an Ethereum-based ETH $4 514 24h volatility: 0.4% Market cap: $545.57 B Vol. 24h: $28.23 B Layer 2 rollup, has announced the integration of Chainlink LINK $23.26 24h volatility: 1.7% Market cap: $15.75 B Vol. 24h: $787.15 M Data Streams. The development comes as the underlying Ethereum network continues to see significant on-chain activity, including large sales from ETH whales.

Kalshi Prediction Markets Are Pulling In $1 Billion Monthly as State Regulators Loom

Kalshi Prediction Markets Are Pulling In $1 Billion Monthly as State Regulators Loom

The post Kalshi Prediction Markets Are Pulling In $1 Billion Monthly as State Regulators Loom appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In brief Kalshi reached $1 billion in monthly volume and now dominates 62% of the global prediction market industry, surpassing Polymarket’s 37% share. Four states including Massachusetts have filed lawsuits claiming Kalshi operates as an unlicensed sportsbook, with Massachusetts seeking to permanently bar the platform. Kalshi operates under federal CFTC regulation as a designated contract market, arguing this preempts state gambling laws that require separate licensing. Prediction market Kalshi just topped $1 billion in monthly volume as state regulators nip at its heels with lawsuits alleging that it’s an unregistered sports betting platform. “Despite being limited to only American customers, Kalshi has now risen to dominate the global prediction market industry,” the company said in a press release. “New data scraped from publicly available activity metrics details this rise.” The publicly available data appears on a Dune Analytics dashboard that’s been tracking prediction market notional volume. The data show that Kalshi now accounts for roughly 62% of global prediction market volume, Polymarket for 37%, and the rest split between Limitless and Myriad, the prediction market owned by Decrypt parent company Dastan. Trading volume on Kalshi skyrocketed in August, not coincidentally at the start of the NFL season and as the prediction market pushes further into sports.  But regulators in Maryland, Nevada, and New Jersey have all issued cease-and-desist orders, arguing Kalshi’s event contracts amount to unlicensed sports betting. Each case has spilled into federal court, with judges issuing preliminary rulings but no final decisions yet. Last week, Massachusetts went further, filing a lawsuit that calls Kalshi’s sports contracts “illegal and unsafe sports wagering.” The 43-page Massachusetts lawsuit seeks to stop the company from allowing state residents on its platform—much the way Coinbase has had to do with its staking offerings in parts of the United States. Massachusetts Attorney General…
