First-Ever XRP Crypto ETF Launches in U.S. Today
The first-ever XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) is set to debut in the U.S. on Tuesday under the XXRP ticker.
The leveraged product, offered by Teucrium, will provide twice the daily performance of XRP. For example, if XRP’s price increases by 10% in a single day, the ETF is expected to rise by roughly 20% (before accounting for fees and expenses).
However, the ETF’s returns reset daily, making it more suited for short-term trading by experienced market participants seeking to capitalize on price volatility.
This ETF will not offer direct exposure to XRP itself. Instead, it will use swaps to mirror the token’s performance. This structure means investors need to be mindful of the compounding effect. If the ETF gains 10% one day and drops 10% the next, investors would still experience a loss.
Teucrium’s prospectus warns that if XRP’s annualized volatility reaches 100%, the ETF’s losses could total 63.2%. Thus, even if XRP performs well in the long term, high volatility could erode returns.
