Vanguard

Vanguard's new crypto price-tracking ETFs drew heavy demand on day one, lifting XRP and Solana sharply. Traders cited increased access and fresh liquidity as the main catalysts.

Litecoin rallied roughly 10% in early trading following news of Vanguard LTCC access, breaking a short-term consolidation and shifting the immediate technical outlook. Traders should watch for follow-through volume and potential pullbacks as institutional access may increase liquidity and volatility.

Vanguard will allow clients to access crypto ETFs tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP and Solana, a move that broadens mainstream exposure and integrates digital assets into traditional portfolios. The decision could reshape allocation strategies for millions of investors.

Bitwise’s CEO has warned that a key sign points to a potential Bitcoin bear market, even as Vanguard reverses course and will allow trading of crypto-focused ETFs and mutual funds on its platform. The Vanguard move could broaden access and liquidity, offsetting some downside pressure.

Vanguard, the roughly $10 trillion asset manager, now offers access to Bitwise’s XRP ETF for its clients, according to a social update from Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley. The move could broaden institutional and retail access to XRP exposure within Vanguard accounts.

Vanguard will allow regulated digital-asset ETFs on its platform, giving its roughly 50 million clients access and reversing a long-standing anti-crypto stance. The firm says listings will follow its compliance and custody standards.
