Franklin Templeton, the digital asset manager with under $1.5 trillion under their belt, is poised to debut their Ripple-based exchange-traded fund (ETF) on November 18, 2025. With Canary’s XRPC Spot market price-tracking fund garnering Wall Street attention last week, Franklin Templeton’s EZRP is going live on the Chicago Board Option Exchange (CBOE) today.

XRP’s Price Discovery Relies On This Fresh ETF

Compared to Canary’s $20 billion in assets under management (AUM), this move could induce the XRP price appreciation crypto currency enthusiasts had longed for. With the first Canary Capital XRP ETF garnering $247 million in the first day, the move quickly made it to one of the year 2025 highlights. However, analysts expect a bigger breakthrough via Franklin Templeton Ripple ETF due to considerably larger capitalization, a trait valued by top institutional investors.

With the United States (USA) government resuming operations after a month-and-a-half hiatus, American investors have turned to risk-off assets. With the national debt towering $620 billion during the lock-down period, the market pull-back delivers opportunities for crypto whales, who are looking for favorable entry prices. Regardless, the near-term market sentiment remains poor with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index flashing fear levels unprecedented in half a year.
