XRP Tracker Fund Debuts With Ripple’s Backing
Digital asset investment business HashKey Capital has introduced the HashKey XRP Tracker Fund, offering a controlled vehicle for institutional investors to gain exposure to XRP.
Operating the XRP Ledger, enterprise blockchain firm Ripple has made a first fund investment, therefore supporting its strategic commitment to expanding institutional-grade XRP solutions in the Asia-Pacific area.
Vivien Wong, Partner of Liquid Funds at HashKey Capital, stated:
“With the first XRP Tracker Fund available in the region, we simplify access to XRP, catering to the demand for investment opportunities in the very best digital assets.”
Unlike traditional ETFs, the XRP Tracker Fund allows monthly subscriptions and redemptions through both cash and in-kind options. The fund is benchmarked by CF Benchmarks, a leading crypto index provider with experience launching ETFs in the U.S. and APAC.
Why XRP and Why Now?
XRP’s Application in Cross-Border Finance
XRP has always set itself up as a way to modernize cross-border payments. XRP provides almost rapid settlement, cheap transaction costs, and interoperability across financial institutions when compared to traditional systems like SWIFT. Banks and remittance companies all across have already adopted RippleNet and the XRP Ledger.
HashKey Capital underlined XRP’s usefulness not just for payments but also for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, a trend gaining traction in the financial sector. For companies wishing to diversify into digital assets without sacrificing efficiency or legal compliance, these features make XRP especially interesting.

Third in Line: Following Bitcoin and Ethereum Tracker Funds
The XRP Tracker Fund follows HashKey Capital’s launch of Bitcoin ETF (3008.HK) and Ethereum ETF (3009.HK) in partnership with Bosera. These tracker funds form a trio of regulated products designed to meet the growing institutional appetite for crypto exposure across Asia.
The launch of the XRP Tracker aligns with broader market trends. Earlier this year, HashKey Group and Bosera received approval to introduce tokenized money-market ETFs in Hong Kong—the first of their kind globally.
As a tracker fund, the XRP offering is not traded throughout the day like a traditional ETF. Instead, shares are valued once per day, offering a more stable structure for long-term investors. However, HashKey Capital has indicated that with additional regulatory approval, this tracker fund could evolve into a fully tradable ETF within the next 12 to 24 months.
Deepening Ripple–HashKey Capital Collaboration
The fund represents just the first step in a wider collaboration between Ripple and HashKey Capital. Both companies plan to explore additional digital asset investment products, DeFi infrastructure for cross-border transactions, and enterprise solutions for tokenization.
Wong also noted that the two firms are considering launching a money market fund (MMF) directly on the XRP Ledger, opening the door to future tokenized fixed-income products.
Fiona Murray, Managing Director of APAC at Ripple, added:
“Institutional investors are eager to access regulated products around the world. This fund delivers that in the Asia-Pacific region, and we’re excited to partner with HashKey Capital to support this growing demand.”
