“Very odd (maybe a first) that a new asset’s first ETF is leveraged. Spot XRP still not approved, although our odds are pretty high,” Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas said in an X post.
Typically, ETFs tracking emerging assets like cryptocurrencies begin with unleveraged "spot" funds — those that directly hold the underlying asset — before more complex leveraged products are introduced.
Teucrium will charge a management fee of 1.85%. The firm cautioned that XRP’s price volatility and declining usage on the Ripple network could pose challenges to the fund’s performance, reflecting broader concerns about the token’s adoption and market stability.
Ripple’s Legal Resolution Fuels ETF Momentum
Teucrium’s leveraged ETF arrives amid a flurry of applications for spot XRP ETFs still under SEC review. Major fund managers, including WisdomTree, Bitwise, 21Shares, Canary Capital, and Franklin Templeton, have filed proposals to bring unleveraged XRP ETFs to market.
The SEC has previously acknowledged these applications, and decisions expected in the coming months could pave the way for additional XRP investment options.
XRP is up 6.5% in the past 24 hours, in line with a broader market move higher.
CORRECT (April 8, 14:27 UTC): Adds dropped words in ETF's name in second paragraph.
