Brookstone Capital Management reveals $71 million in XRP ETF investment

Institutional investment in XRP continues to accelerate

Brookstone Capital Management, an Illinois-based financial advisory firm, disclosed its significant position in the Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF (XRPI) through its latest 13F filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This news marks a further increase in institutional interest in XRP.

Brookstone's XRP ETF position

Cryptocurrency market commentator Xaif took note of the disclosure and noted that Brookstone currently holds 12,380 shares of XRPI worth approximately US$71 million. He believes this is evidence of the growing involvement of institutions in XRP investments.

Based on its recent SEC filings, Brookstone Capital Management confirmed its position in 12,380 shares worth US$71 million in the Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF. This move further confirms that institutional funds continue to flow into regulated XRP products.

The 13F document is a quarterly report that the SEC requires professional investment managers to file to record their asset holdings. Unlike an ETF listing application, a 13F document displays positions already held in the company's investment portfolio.

Several months ago, similar filings showed that Goldman Sachs had become the largest holder of spot XRP ETFs among institutional investors.

Brookstone's participation highlights the growing interest in such regulated crypto asset products, which provide compliant investment channels without the need to directly host digital assets.

On Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF

Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF is listed on NASDAQ and launched in 2025. It is an actively managed fund that mainly invests in XRP futures contracts. The ETF aims to achieve capital appreciation by allowing investors to participate in XRP market fluctuations in compliance, thereby eliminating the need to directly self-custody digital assets.

The fund provides a bridge for institutional and retail investors seeking to invest in XRP in a manner that complies with U.S. financial regulations.

Several spot XRP ETFs listed in the United States were launched in November 2025. Each fund is structured to allow shareholders to invest in the XRP market while reducing custody risks and regulatory uncertainties.

These ETFs include: Volatility Shares Trust XRP ETF (in 2025, the main asset is XRP futures, status is active) and multiple spot XRP ETFs (in November 2025, the main asset is XRP, status is active, trading in the United States).

Institutional adoption and capital inflow trends

Brookstone's filings further confirm the continued trend of financial institutions seeking exposure to crypto assets through regulated investment vehicles. The US spot XRP ETF did not experience any net outflow days in the first month after its launch. By early December 2025, the total assets under management of these funds had exceeded US$1 billion.

Industry data shows that since its launch, the cumulative net inflow of spot XRP ETFs has reached US$1.44 billion, highlighting the continued strong demand from institutional investors.

XRP ETF leads other crypto funds in capital inflows

Against the background of capital outflows from other major digital asset funds, the resilience of XRP ETF is particularly prominent. In June this year, outflows from the U.S. Bitcoin ETF exceeded $4 billion, while the Ethereum ETF suffered a net redemption of $528.99 million. However, the XRP ETF attracted a net inflow of US$59.4 million over the same period. As of June 26, the net inflow of XRP spot ETFs has lasted for eight weeks, fully demonstrating its strong institutional demand.

While funds were withdrawn from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in June, the XRP ETF increased by US$59.4 million, continuing an eight-week positive inflow trend. This momentum suggests that institutional investors are strategically moving towards diversified crypto asset allocations.

Impact on XRP holders

Brookstone's 13F filing is the latest signal that more and more investment institutions, from multinational banks to small consulting firms, are adopting regulated crypto products such as XRP ETFs to enrich their clients 'portfolios. Stable capital inflows and the absence of large-scale capital outflows reflect that this is a long-term allocation trend rather than speculative trading.

By using products like the Volatility Shares XRPI Fund, investors can enter the XRP market efficiently and in compliance, further consolidating the asset's legal status in the institutional finance sector.
