The ETF Built to Bet Against XRP Price Has a New Launch Date
Teucrium has postponed the launch of its short XRP ETF for the 19th time, moving it to October 11, 2026, according to a filing dated September 11. This fund is designed to pay investors when XRP falls, while its counterpart, which pays when XRP rises, has been trading since April 2025. The ETF's purpose is to move twice as much as XRP each day in the opposite direction, without selling any XRP.
Despite numerous delays, no regulator has blocked the product. Although XRP peaked at $3.65 in July 2025 and now trades near $1.37, a decline of over 60%, there has been no listed way for investors to bet against this slide. Ordinary funds holding XRP have seen inflows of $190.5 million in their past 20 trading days, with withdrawals on a single day.
Despite 19 postponements, the question remains: what changes if and when the ETF finally launches on October 11?
