Bitwise XRP 

This exchange-traded fund (ETF) provides a passively managed pathway for investors to gain access to XRP. The valuation of the fund's underlying assets is determined by the CME CF XRP Dollar Reference Rate New York Variant, a USD-denominated benchmark that establishes the official XRP price daily at 4:00 PM Eastern Time. This reference rate is calculated by compiling executed trade data from prominent XRP trading platforms. Additionally, an Indicative Trust Value (ITV) per share, reflecting the CME XRP Real-Time Price, is disseminated every 15 seconds during standard market hours, from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM ET. XRP can be employed for transactional purposes, such as purchasing goods and services, or converted into traditional fiat currencies. However, its fundamental purpose is to serve as a utility for transactions, rather than primarily as a store of value. The XRP Ledger and XRP are engineered to significantly boost the speed of transactions and reduce the costs and inefficiencies typically linked with conventional interbank payment systems.
