The ETF Built to Bet Against XRP Price Has a New Launch Date

Teucrium has pushed back the launch of its short XRP ETF (exchange-traded fund) for the 19th time. A filing dated September 11 moves the earliest possible start to October 11, 2026. The fund is built to pay investors when XRP falls.

Its mirror image, which pays when XRP rises, has been trading since April 2025. 19 XRP Short ETF Filings and Not One Launch Public records held by the US Securities and Exchange Commission show the same three-page document arriving roughly every month since April 4, 2025.

Each one does a single job. It moves the date. The newest filing carries no explanation beyond the new date. Strategy, fees, and risk warnings all stay untouched. Even that date is not a launch date.

It marks the first day the fund is permitted to start trading, and permission is not the same as arrival.
