Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF Holds 118M $XRP What Does This Institutional Move Mean?
Franklin Templeton
FTI_US) released its first quarterly report for the XRP ETF (XRPZ). Since launching in November 2025, the fund has accumulated over 118 million XRP following its NYSE listing.
This is significant because traditional asset managers like Franklin Templeton entering the XRP market validates the asset for risk-averse institutional investors. When a firm managing trillions launches an ETF, it signals they believe there's long-term demand and regulatory clarity.
However, questions remain. Will this institutional buying create sustainable upward pressure on XRP's price, or are we seeing another case where ETF inflows don't translate to spot market gains? Also, how will Ripple's ongoing legal battles impact institutional confidence moving forward?
What's your take is this bullish validation or just another institutional extraction play?
