Leisure Capital Management, a wealth management firm based in Overland Park, Kansas, has taken a position in Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF during the second quarter of 2026. Regulatory filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission reveal the firm held 16,745 shares of the Franklin XRP Trust ETF (XRPZ), valued at about $206,000 as of June 30.
This investment might seem modest, but it signals growing institutional trust in XRP-related assets. Leisure Capital Management oversees portfolios for both individuals and institutions, traditionally focusing on equities, bonds, and ETFs. Its XRP stake now sits alongside holdings in giants like Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon.
Increasing institutional interest in XRP ETFs
The recent filing adds to a wave of institutional involvement in XRP ETFs. Earlier in July, Realta Investment Advisors declared over $260 million in holdings of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF. Vista Finance also disclosed a significant position in the Franklin XRP Trust ETF, owning roughly 130,000 shares worth around $11.45 million.
Other firms such as Brookstone Capital Management have reported XRP ETF holdings worth tens of millions, while CPR Investments holds a smaller stake in the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF. This trend extends beyond ETFs as well, with Galaxy Digital, Arrington Capital, and others acquiring $130 million in private Ripple Labs shares during the company’s bankruptcy process.
The rise in 13F filings indicates that asset managers are increasingly comfortable with XRP, which had been previously classified as a security by the SEC before later clarification. ETF structures provide a familiar platform for institutions to engage with XRP, offering a regulated and accessible route into the asset class.
