The first U.S. spot Ripple [XRP] ETF (exchange-traded fund) debuted with a remarkable outperformance on the 18th of September. 

The REX Osprey XRP ETF recorded $37.7 million in daily trading volume. Within the first hour of trading, the product raked in nearly $25 million in volume.

This was 5x more demand than other XRP ETF Futures did on their debut, underscoring the massive interest.
