XRP Fund Exposure in Bank of Montreal 13F Totals $2,970

XRP News

Bank of Montreal disclosed a minuscule XRP-linked position in its latest consolidated Form 13F, showing that the asset remains a tiny satellite inside one of North America’s largest banking portfolios. The SEC filing, submitted on Aug. 12 and covering holdings as of June 30, listed 14,271 positions with a combined value of about $303.65 billion. Within that report, two XRP fund entries totaled $2,970: 323 shares of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF valued at $2,771 and 20 shares of the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF valued at $199. Both lines were attributed to Stoker Ostler Wealth Advisors Inc., a controlled investment adviser identified as “other manager 12,” without naming the ultimate beneficial owner. The disclosure does not show direct custody of XRP tokens; it reflects securities that track, or lever, the token’s price. The REX-Osprey product was launched under an Investment Company Act structure rather than as a simple spot trust, while the ProShares fund seeks twice the daily return of XRP through futures and derivatives. That distinction matters because an exchange-traded share represents a fund claim, not a wallet balance, and fees are charged inside the product rather than against token holdings. The filing also offers no evidence of a strategic bank allocation: the combined position is roughly 0.000001% of the reported portfolio. The Form 13F only captures securities where the manager has investment discretion, not short positions, direct token custody, or trades executed after the quarter-end snapshot. Any July or early-August changes would therefore wait for the next report covering positions as of Sept. 30. Bank of Montreal ranks among North America’s eight largest banks by assets and serves about 13 million customers. The bank is also among Canada’s systemically important banks, giving even nominal disclosures outsized symbolic weight for XRP, a major altcoin, as institutions test regulated wrappers instead of direct token settlement mechanisms such as an atomic swap.

US-listed spot XRP ETFs broke a four-day stretch of flat flows with a modest net inflow on Aug. 13, standing alone in an otherwise quiet altcoin fund market. Aggregated fund-flow data shows the XRP spot ETF complex attracted $2.25 million, with the entire amount recorded in the Bitwise XRP product. That followed four consecutive trading days with no net creation or redemption across the category. The latest print lifts cumulative net inflows for XRP spot ETFs to $1.518 billion, while daily trading volume remained thin at $7.88 million and total net assets stood at $942.25 million, equivalent to about 1.49% of XRP’s market capitalization. The flow was small relative to the category’s cumulative base, but it mattered because peer products moved in the opposite direction or stayed flat. Dogecoin spot ETFs recorded a $564,838 net outflow from 21Shares TDOG after six straight unchanged sessions, while Chainlink spot ETFs lost $390,578 through Grayscale GLNK after two flat days. Solana funds held steady for a second session, and Avalanche, Hyperliquid, Hedera, Litecoin, Polkadot and BNB products also showed no new capital movement. The divergence suggests traders are not broadly rotating into altcoin ETFs; instead, XRP received a targeted, possibly tactical allocation during a period of weak risk appetite. Because ETF flow data captures creation and redemption activity rather than secondary-market trading alone, even a $2.25 million inflow can signal primary-market demand when most comparable products are stagnant. The figure does not prove sustained institutional accumulation, but it gives XRP a rare positive flow datapoint in a session where bear market conditions pressured several smaller altcoin funds. A single-session figure of this size remains prone to reversal, so the Aug. 13 reading is better viewed as a marginal impulse than a structural shift until several days confirm direction in XRP fund demand overall.

COINOTAG's proprietary 42-indicator composite S/R scoring engine rates the $0.9951 support at 92/100, driven by the confluence of ATR Lower and Fibo 0.000, while the $1.0405 resistance scores 70/100 from Flip S→R, EMA 20 and BB Middle. With spot XRP at $1.0115, RSI at 37.39 and MACD bearish, the trend remains fragile. Derivatives show 0.0045% funding, $732.66 million open interest and a 3.51 long/short ratio, indicating crowded long positioning despite a 29/100 Fear and Greed reading. A reclaim of $1.0405 would open $1.0911; failure to hold $0.9951 would invalidate the near-term support thesis. This is not a setup chasing an all-time high.
