This shows growing interest in making XRP more available to professional and institutional investors.
HashKey Capital Launches XRP Tracker Fund
HashKey Capital, a large crypto investment company based in Hong Kong, has announced a new fund that makes it easier for professional investors to invest in XRP.
HashKey Capital is launching Asia’s first XRP Tracker Fund—with @Ripple as an early investor.
This marks a major step in expanding institutional access to XRP, the third-largest token by market cap.

This fund tracks the price of XRP, so investors don’t need to manage wallets or worry about buying and storing crypto themselves. The fund is designed for those who want to gain exposure to XRP without dealing with the technical parts of owning crypto.
Why XRP?
Vivien Wong from HashKey said XRP is one of the most useful digital coins because it allows people to send money across borders. Unlike older systems like SWIFT, XRP helps move money in seconds and with much lower fees.
It’s already being used by banks and companies in different parts of the world. Plus, the XRP Ledger makes it easy to tokenize real-world assets, which is a big trend in the digital space right now.
Tracker Fund Today, ETF Tomorrow?
This is not HashKey’s first crypto fund, they already have similar funds for Bitcoin and Ethereum. But it is the first XRP tracker in Asia. If everything goes well and regulators give the green light, this fund could become a full XRP ETF in the next year or two, making it even more accessible to big investors.
Ripple and HashKey Growing Partnership
Ripple isn’t just investing in the fund, they’re also teaming up with HashKey to explore more ways to use XRP in the future. They’re talking about creating new products, launching a money market fund on the XRP Ledger, and finding better ways to do global finance using crypto.
This partnership is a big step toward bringing more serious money into the world of XRP and digital assets.
