Teucrium pushes its short XRP ETF launch to October 2026, marking the 19th delay for a product designed to profit from price drops, even as XRP has already plummeted over 60% from its 2025 peak.
The article reports the 19th postponement of a short XRP ETF, while XRP has already declined over 60% from its peak, highlighting missed opportunity for bearish bets.
Teucrium has postponed the launch of its short XRP ETF for the 19th time, pushing the potential start date to October 11, 2026. Despite the fund's design to profit from XRP price declines, the company has consistently delayed the product while its long-position counterpart continues to trade on the New York Stock Exchange.
Teucrium has provided no explanation for the repeated delays in its SEC filings, choosing to postpone the launch date 19 times since April 2025.
The fund is designed to provide investors with returns that move twice as much as XRP in the opposite direction, using contracts with trading firms rather than holding the underlying asset.
