- EasyA co-founder Dom Kwok predicts XRP ETFs could attract record inflows due to affordability and global reach.
- ETFs simplify access for new investors, with just 7% of the world currently owning digital assets.
- With SEC deadlines in October and strong futures demand, analysts expect billions in potential XRP ETF inflows.
Dom Kwok, co-founder of EasyA, has predicted that an XRP-based ETF could surpass all previous cryptocurrency funds in terms of inflows, due to the asset’s global reach and comparatively low entry price.
He noted that while Bitcoin and Ethereum continue to lead in overall liquidity, their higher trading prices create barriers for retail investors, whereas XRP provides an affordable alternative.
In an appearance on the Paul Barron Podcast, Kwok pointed out that XRP regularly ranks among the top-traded digital assets on major exchanges, with only Bitcoin ranking higher in some reports. He described Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP as the three most liquid tokens, suggesting that such strong liquidity would transition effectively into ETF markets.
Currently, only 7% of people worldwide own cryptocurrency, leaving a large pool of potential investors who may choose ETFs as their first step into the sector.
When you think about investors who don’t hold crypto directly, or even those who don’t want to deal with wallets and exchanges, ETFs become the natural entry point. For them, XRP has massive appeal.

Bringing New Investors into Crypto
The US Securities and Exchange Commission has extended deadlines on multiple XRP ETF filings, with most now due for review in October. Deadlines include 19 October for several funds and 24 October for WisdomTree’s application. Apart from Franklin Templeton, all other applications are scheduled for rulings within that window.
XRP’s rapid rise in the futures market provides further signs of demand. Its contracts surpassed US$1 billion (AU$1.53 billion) in open interest within just three months of launch, the fastest ever for a futures product. More than US$800 million (AU$1.22 billion) has also been invested in XRP futures ETFs.
With eleven spot XRP ETF proposals awaiting decisions, Kwok and other analysts argue that approval could unlock billions in inflows, potentially making XRP ETFs larger than their Bitcoin or Ethereum counterparts.
