Looks like access is finally opening up for crypto ETFs pic.twitter.com\/Y08IgtAybg<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Arthur (@XrpArthur) December 2, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n\n Notably, the move comes amid surging client demand and increasing institutional interest in digital assets, reshaping Vanguard\u2019s traditional investment philosophy.<\/p>\n For years, Vanguard maintained a cautious stance toward cryptocurrencies, with former CEO Tim Buckley publicly dismissing BTC and other digital assets as too speculative and unsuitable for long-term portfolios.<\/p>\n The firm consistently refused to offer crypto ETFs, emphasising stability and low-risk investments for retirement-focused clients.<\/p>\n However, leadership changes paved the way for a rethink.<\/p>\n Salim Ramji, formerly the global head of ETFs at BlackRock, assumed the CEO role and gradually steered Vanguard toward regulated crypto offerings.<\/p>\n While the firm still will not create its own crypto ETFs or mutual funds, it now supports third-party products that meet regulatory standards, providing clients with access to digital assets while maintaining compliance.<\/p>\n The platform expansion enables more than 50 million US brokerage clients to trade crypto ETFs alongside other non-core assets like gold.<\/p>\n This could significantly increase market participation, with some predicting near-term price boosts in Bitcoin (BTC)<\/a> and Ethereum (ETH)<\/a>.<\/p>\n Among the new offerings, XRP-based ETFs have generated particular excitement.<\/p>\n In just 11 trading days, spot XRP ETFs have recorded net inflows exceeding $756 million, with total assets under management reaching $723 million.<\/p>\n Remarkably, there have been no outflows, and major inflow events include $243 million during Canary Capital\u2019s launch, $164 million tied to Grayscale and Franklin Templeton ETFs, and $89.65 million in the most recent session.<\/p>\n This rapid accumulation is reducing the liquid XRP supply on exchanges, potentially creating a supply shock that could influence pricing.<\/p>\n Vanguard\u2019s pivot reflects a broader trend among traditional financial institutions embracing crypto.<\/p>\n Goldman Sachs, for example, is deepening its exposure through a $2 billion acquisition of Innovator Capital Management, which issues defined-outcome ETFs, including Bitcoin-linked structured funds.<\/p>\n The bank has rapidly increased its holdings in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, totalling billions in assets, while also developing infrastructure for tokenised financial products.<\/p>\n Industry observers view these moves as part of a gradual yet significant integration of digital assets into mainstream portfolios, indicating that regulated, institutionally backed crypto investment is shifting from a niche to a standard.<\/p>\n The implications of Vanguard\u2019s decision extend beyond immediate market activity.<\/p>\n By allowing access to regulated crypto ETFs, the firm is providing a channel for both retail and institutional investors to participate in digital asset markets within a familiar, compliant framework.<\/p>\n This could draw additional inflows, potentially reshaping liquidity dynamics and market sentiment across Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana.<\/p>\n For Vanguard, the shift represents not only a strategic response to client demand but also an acknowledgement that digital assets have become a permanent fixture in the global financial landscape.<\/p>\n The post Vanguard reverses course, opens door to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs<\/a> appeared first on CoinJournal<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Vanguard now allows clients to trade Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana ETFs.
