Teucrium has pushed back the launch of its 2x Short Daily XRP ETF for the 19th time, with a new SEC filing now setting October 11, 2026 as the earliest date the fund could begin trading.
The postponement follows a now-familiar pattern. Public records held by the US Securities and Exchange Commission show the same three-page filing arriving roughly every month since April 4, 2025.A September 11 filing by Listed Funds Trust with the SEC moved the effective date for the Teucrium 2x Short Daily XRP ETF to October 11, 2026, extending a review process that has stretched well beyond a year since the original registration statement was submitted on January 21, 2025.
The filing's stated purpose is solely to delay effectiveness of the fund's registration. The SEC has not rejected the product, and the new date does not guarantee trading will begin on October 11. It simply resets the procedural clock once again.Teucrium has never explained the holdup in any filing.
The fund is designed to deliver twice the inverse of $XRP's daily price movement. If XRP falls 3% on a given day, the ETF is built to return roughly 6% before fees.It would achieve that exposure through contracts with trading counterparties and other derivatives, rather than holding XRP directly.
The continued delay stands in sharp contrast to Teucrium's existing leveraged long product. Its 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, trading under the ticker XXRP, launched on April 8, 2025, and had accumulated approximately $151.5 million in assets under management as of September 2026. The short fund, designed for investors looking to profit from price declines, has remained on the shelf throughout.
The timing is notable given how $XRP has performed. XRP traded as high as $3.65 in July 2025 and was near $1.37 at the time of the September 11 filing, a decline of more than 60% from the peak. A bearish ETF structured around that move could have attracted significant interest, yet no such product has been available to US investors on a listed exchange.
US spot XRP ETFs have attracted roughly $1.68 billion in cumulative net inflows, with Goldman Sachs, Jane Street and Millennium Management among reported holders. That institutional appetite for long exposure has built steadily, even as the short-side wrapper continues to be delayed.
Market participants will be watching whether October 11 marks an actual listing or simply another reset of the clock.
