Teucrium Postpones Short XRP ETF Launch for the 19th Time
Teucrium has delayed its short XRP ETF launch to October 11, 2026 — marking the 19th postponement since April 4, 2025. The fund is designed to profit when XRP prices fall and mirrors a long XRP ETF that began trading in April 2025. Despite repeated filings with no explanation for delays, Teucrium has not launched the short product yet. XRP's price dropped over 60% from its July 2025 peak of $3.65 to around $1.37 as of September 2026, but investors have had no listed vehicle to bet against it. Meanwhile, long XRP ETFs continued attracting inflows — taking in $190.5 million over the past 20 trading days and reaching cumulative flows of $1.7 billion since launch. The October 11 date is not a guaranteed start but merely the earliest possible day for trading permission. The lack of clarity around delays raises questions about whether or when the fund will ever be available to investors.
