3iQ launches 3iQ XRP ETF (tickers: XRPQ, XRPQ.U), powered by CF Benchmarks’ regulated XRPUSD_NY index

3iQ’s XRP ETF is among the first in North America offering regulated access to XRP

3iQ XRP ETF now live

CF Benchmarks is delighted to congratulate 3iQ Corp on the successful launch today of its 3iQ XRP ETF, one of the first listings of its kind in North America.

The ETF is now trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the ticker XRPQ, for the Canadian dollar-denominated pricing series, and XRPQ.U, for the U.S. dollar-denominated pricing series.

Note the tickers share the same CUSIP, being units of the same underlying fund.

Safe, secure XRP investing

The launch of 3iQ XRP ETF means that for the first time, institutions, as well as individuals transacting on the Canadian market through a brokerage account, can gain exposure to XRP within the familiar, safe and secure structure of an ETF, with no need to handle crypto directly.

The XRP Opportunity

XRP is the native token of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a decentralized, layer-1 blockchain, known for cost-effective payments and fast transaction speeds.

Attracted by these features, major financial institutions have transacted more than $1 trillion over the network since it was established by the founders of Ripple Labs, Inc. in 2012, deploying XRPL for real-time cross-border payments, remittances, tokenization projects, and other uses.

This ubiquity has helped contribute to XRP’s market value of approximately $143 billion (as of May 14th, 2025) cementing its position among digital assets too important for crypto investors to ignore.

Regulated benchmark: XRPUSD_NY

The launch of 3iQ XRP ETF, 3iQ’s third exchange traded product, also marks the expansion of its partnership with CF Benchmarks, the provider of the fund’s regulated benchmark index:
