Ripple, the blockchain payments company known as the issuer of the XRP token, has entered the leveraged exchange-traded fund (ETF) market, a segment valued at approximately $256 billion, according to the report. The entry extends the company's activities beyond its core payments-and-settlement focus into investment products tied to market performance.

COINOTAG documented the move on October 9, 2026. In an update published at 22:03 UTC the same day, the outlet stated that two concrete details "sharpen the picture of how Ripple Prime prices this business." Ripple Prime is the Ripple-affiliated entity named in the report in connection with the pricing of the new business line. The specifics behind those two details are not spelled out in this report, leaving the exact pricing configuration of the new line as the element to watch in subsequent coverage.

Ripple is widely known as the company associated with XRP, the native digital asset of the XRP Ledger, a blockchain focused on payments and settlement.

Leveraged ETFs, the market segment Ripple is entering, are exchange-traded funds that use derivatives and borrowed capital to amplify the returns of an underlying asset or index, typically on a daily basis. Because that amplification resets with each trading day, such products are generally structured for short-term positioning rather than long-term holdings. The structure has become a common feature of both traditional and digital-asset markets.
