Community News: Ripple on Wednesday announced plans to invest in the newly rebranded Bitwise Physical XRP exchange-traded product.

CEO Brad Garlinghouse said XRP stands out as “a cornerstone for those seeking access to assets that are resilient and have real-world utility.”

The news comes as asset manager WisdomTree filed to establish a trust entity in Delaware as a preliminary step toward launching an XRP exchange-traded fund.

An XRP ETF would mark the third major cryptocurrency ETF after Bitcoin and Ethereum.
