- WisdomTree, managing $139B in assets, is reportedly preparing to launch a spot XRP ETF (XRPW) before month-end.
- The development reflects growing institutional trust in XRP as crypto ETFs begin to diversify beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- XRP is holding the key $2.00 support level as buyers defend against volatility.
The $139 billion financial giant, WisdomTree, is said to be gearing up to list a spot XRP exchange-traded fund, which is set to be denoted by the ticker XRPW, possibly even before the end of the ongoing month. This is set to make WisdomTree one of the rising established financial institutions to enter the crypto investment offerings space. The XRP spot ETF means that funds will not need to physically own XRP.
The forthcoming launch occurs against the backdrop of an increase in the demand for regulated cryptocurrency ETFs, owing to the success of spot Bitcoin ETFs. The presence of WisdomTree indicates that institutions are becoming more confident in the XRP markets. XRPW, once launched, is set to increase institutional investment in XRP.

XRP Defends $2 Level While Ethereum Sees FOMO Cooldown
In addition, the sentiment analysis has shown that XRP is still fluctuating around the critical price of $2.00, with the bulls and bears engaged in a fierce struggle for control. The bulls are working hard to maintain the critical support price, which is keeping the price from going lower, although volatility is high. The overall sentiment on social media with respect to XRP remains positive.

On the other side, the Ethereum market is on a different trajectory, having experienced a depreciation of around 35% in the last 12 weeks, in the middle of a hot summer rush. The initial stages of FOMO, characterized by a high degree of anticipation, are now over, with a shift in tone to a neutral one. It is a sign that the retailers are less susceptible to panic dumping.
Overall, these factors make way for a market that is drifting away from the drama of highs and lows. XRP is going on a rally based on an optimistic environment, while Ethereum is undergoing a reset based on the speculative fervor that has been displayed in the past.
