Key Highlights
- Canary Capital’s XRPC and HBR spot ETFs are now available for trading on the Vanguard investment platform.
- This listing gives Vanguard clients simplified, regulated access to the digital assets XRP and HBAR.
Canary Capital Group LLC’s Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) and Canary HBAR ETF (HBR) have officially begun trading on the Vanguard investment platform, bridging the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset market.
The development, announced today, allows Vanguard’s client base to gain simplified access to regulated spot exchange-traded funds tracking two particular types of cryptocurrencies. This expansion broadens Canary Capital’s reach and marks the integration of digital-asset exposure within a regulated investment management firm.
At the time of writing, the Canary XRP ETF was up by 0.34%, trading at $23.149. The previous closing price for XRPC was $23.07. Meanwhile, the Canary HBAR ETF (HBR) was down marginally, losing 0.30%, at $19.73. The trading volume was lighter at 7,367 shares.
Expanding digital asset access
By listing XRPC and HBR, Vanguard is taking a first step to mainstream the investment in digital assets for its retail investors.
The investment platform, known for low-cost index investing, has been quite cautious about cryptocurrencies so far, so including these two targeted ETFs is a key endorsement for the fast-growing digital asset class.
Simplified investor exposure
The inclusion lets investors keep their exposure to XRP and HBAR in conventional qualified investment accounts without having to navigate the complexities of a digital wallet and crypto exchanges. The accessibility is especially the case for the Canary XRP ETF, XRPC, which has gained market traction since its launch in mid-November.
Commenting on the fund’s performance, Steven McClurg, CEO and Founder of Canary Capital, said, “What we’re seeing with XRPC is more than early adoption, it’s validation of where investor demand is heading. That’s a clear signal that investors are choosing XRPC as a preferred vehicle for exposure to one of the most foundational digital assets.”
The Canary XRP ETF provides spot exposure to XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, which is designed for cross-border value transfer and liquidity. Since its inception, XRPC has become a leading force in the industry, having reportedly amassed AUM of over $336 million as of late November 2025.
The Canary HBAR ETF provides spot exposure to HBAR, the Hedera network’s native cryptocurrency, a platform that is engineered for high-throughput enterprise applications. It holds the unique distinction of being the first and only US-listed ETF to deliver direct access to the HBAR asset.
The listing of the funds on Vanguard is expected to increase visibility and distribution for Canary Capital’s digital-asset products. This increased access is likely to set the precedent for other financial institutions and further bridge traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem.
