XRP News Today: DWP Management Secures $200M XRP In-Kind Contributions Amid Institutional Shift

Digital Wealth Partners Management (DWP Management), a digital asset investment firm, has announced it has raised approximately $200 million in capital for its fund strategies, with the entire amount contributed in XRP, the native token of Ripple [1]. The firm emphasized that these in-kind contributions represent a notable institutional shift toward XRP, reflecting growing trust in the cryptocurrency for both capital appreciation and portfolio diversification.

According to the company’s statement, the structure of the fund allows investors to contribute digital assets directly, eliminating the need to convert them into fiat currency [1]. This model, the firm argued, enhances efficiency and flexibility, offering investors opportunities for income or long-term growth. DWP Management also highlighted that the fund operates within institutional-level custody and compliance frameworks, designed to meet the expectations of institutional investors [1].

Matthew Snider, the firm’s Investment Director, commented on the development, stating, “We are grateful to the investors who have placed their trust in our platform. This growth demonstrates how rapidly the integration of digital assets into modern portfolios is evolving. Our focus is on providing secure and compliant strategies aligned with long-term goals” [1].

The move aligns with broader trends in the market, where traditional financial institutions are increasingly integrating digital assets into their offerings. Ripple, the company behind XRP, has been expanding its utility through strategic acquisitions and partnerships, further reinforcing the token’s institutional appeal [4]. Analysts have noted that DWP Management’s strategy reflects a growing acceptance of XRP as a legitimate asset class among institutional investors [4].

Webus, a global payment platform, recently announced it would add XRP and Ripple USD payment options to its platform, signaling increased utility for the token in real-world transactions [5]. In another development, Ripple recently completed an acquisition to build a “comprehensive” stablecoin solution, a move that has further fueled optimism around the asset [6].

While DWP Management’s fund is entirely XRP-focused, other players in the market are exploring alternative assets. For instance, Mutuum Finance has raised over $14.1 million and is gaining traction in the altcoin space [9]. Despite this, the accumulation of $200 million in XRP underscores the token’s increasing legitimacy as an institutional-grade investment [1].

The recent rally in XRP prices has also been linked to broader altcoin strength, with Ethereum reaching a new 2025 high above $4,000 [10]. While the interconnectivity of crypto assets is evident, the direct institutional investment in XRP stands out as a key development in the sector [5].
