Breaking: Amplify’s XRPM Income ETF Hits Wall Street Today – XRP’s Big Finance Moment
Wall Street braces for crypto's latest invasion as Amplify drops its XRP-focused income ETF today. The XRPM fund—a first-of-its-kind play on Ripple's digital asset—could lure institutional money or become another ticker in the graveyard of 'innovative' financial products.
Why it matters: Mainstream finance just got another backdoor into crypto yields without the hassle of self-custody. The ETF promises 'income'—but whether that means real yield or just marketing spin remains to be seen.
Between the lines: TradFi's embrace of crypto keeps evolving—from outright rejection to 'maybe we can fee-engineer this.' If the fund gains traction, expect a flood of copycats targeting staking rewards and DeFi yields. If it flops? Cue the 'crypto winters' narrative.
Bottom line: Another brick in the wall of crypto legitimacy—or another reminder that Wall Street will repackage anything for a 1% management fee.
Amplify ETFs has officially announced that its new XRP-linked premium income fund, trading under the ticker XRPM, will launch on November 18, 2025. The ETF will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange and will open through a New Issue Auction at 9:30 a.m. ET, giving traditional investors a regulated doorway into XRP-related returns without holding the asset directly.
XRPM will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the CUSIP 032108375 with a reported net asset size of $750,000 and 30,000 shares outstanding at launch. The total expense ratio is set at 0.75 percent. Cboe confirmed that the ETF meets all requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934 and will be quoted on SIAC Tape B for full market visibility.
Why XRPM Stands Out
According to Amplify, the XRPM ETF aims to combine xrp price appreciation potential with a high-income options strategy. The fund targets a 36 percent annualized option premium income while still maintaining exposure to 40 to 70 percent of XRP’s upside performance. Instead of directly purchasing XRP, the ETF will gain exposure through XRP-based exchange-traded products, futures, and covered call options to generate consistent monthly payout opportunities.
Weekly Options and Monthly Income
The strategy behind XRPM revolves around weekly covered call writing, which allows four times more premium-collection opportunities compared to traditional monthly options strategies. Amplify describes this as a way to “harvest volatility,” meaning that short-term price movements in XRP can be converted into recurring income. The fund aims to distribute income monthly, positioning it as an appealing product for yield-focused investors seeking crypto-linked payouts.
Institutional Significance
The approval and launch of XRPM arrives at a time when demand for regulated, yield-enhanced crypto exposure is increasing. By offering a structured, compliance-ready ETF tied to XRP performance, XRPM acts as a new bridge between institutional finance and digital assets. Its debut highlights the growing trend of turning crypto volatility into a mainstream investment income opportunity.
