Canada's main financial regulator has approved XRP-based ETF options for trading in the US, allowing major Canadian banks to invest in XRP through regulated financial products. The Canadian Derivatives Clearing Corp has registered XRP Evolve ETF and XRP Purpose ETF options on the Montreal Exchange, placing XRP alongside top cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum in ETF options trading. This regulatory approval enables banks like National Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal to hold significant XRP-related positions without directly buying XRP coins, providing a safer and regulated way for investors to gain exposure to XRP. This move signals growing institutional confidence in XRP's ecosystem and could increase market participation in XRP derivatives.
