The same coin, two trusts
XRPC and XRPZ hold the same asset. Both are 1933 Act trusts holding XRP through a custodian, so neither has a portfolio to compare: the whole of each fund is one line. Over the days each has traded, XRPC finished 0.06 of a percentage point ahead of XRP and XRPZ 1.1 percentage points behind, but the two windows are not the same days, so neither figure is set against the other here. That gap is the fee, the custody, the creation and redemption friction and the market’s pricing of the shares, compounded into one figure.

XRPC in plain words
XRPC holds XRP through a custodian and trades on an exchange, so a holder gets the coin’s return inside a brokerage account rather than a wallet. Over the time since it listed to Sep 30, 2026, XRP moved −35.8% and XRPC returned −35.8%. That leaves it 0.06 of a percentage point ahead. That difference is the fee, the custody cost, the friction of creating and redeeming shares in blocks, and whatever the market paid for the shares rather than for the coin, all of it together. It is the only figure on this page the sponsor does not publish itself. A spot trust is not a registered investment company. It files a 10-K rather than an N-PORT, and its holding is one line: the XRP it custodies.
XRPZ in plain words
XRPZ holds XRP through a custodian and trades on an exchange, so a holder gets the coin’s return inside a brokerage account rather than a wallet. Over the time since it listed to Sep 30, 2026, XRP moved −33.1% and XRPZ returned −34.2%. That leaves it 1.1 percentage points behind. XRPZ charges 0.19% a year and finished 1.1% behind XRP, so the fee is less than the whole difference and the rest is what the market paid for the shares, which moved against holders.
