Successful 16-year Tenure of Teucrium Funds CEO Highlighted by Record Performance of XRP Fund
Teucrium's Leveraged XRP ETF Shines Amidst Crypto Market
In a significant development for the cryptocurrency market, Teucrium Trading's 2x leveraged XRP Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) has become the company's most successful product in its 16-year history. Launched in April 2025, the ETF, trading under the ticker XXRP on NYSE Arca, has attracted over $300 million in inflows within just 16 weeks[1][2][3].
This ETF offers 2x daily leveraged exposure to XRP’s price using derivatives, providing an attractive option for investors seeking amplified short-term gains[2][4]. Remarkably, it is the first leveraged XRP product in the U.S. to surpass such inflows and has outpaced all other funds in Teucrium’s history[1][2][3].
The rapid inflow of capital and strong demand for the Teucrium Trading's leveraged XRP ETF set it apart from any previous fund launched by the company, which is traditionally known for its agriculture-based ETFs[1]. However, it's important to note that XRP's price itself showed a divergence by declining about 2.2% to 2.36% in the same period[1][3]. Analysts warn of bearish technical trends for XRP, viewing leveraged products like Teucrium’s ETF as riskier amid shifting investor preferences away from altcoins[1].
Despite this volatility, XRP remains one of the better-performing cryptocurrencies year-to-date with gains around 30%-40%, supported partly by Ripple’s ongoing efforts to modernize global payments, which Teucrium’s CEO cites as a bullish long-term premise[3][4].
Meanwhile, Teucrium CEO, Sal Gilbertie, made the announcement about the success of the leveraged XRP ETF on CNBC’s "ETF Edge". In a bold prediction, he foresees XRP and Ripple moving trillions of dollars by tokenizing the financial system[5].
In a separate development, RealFi, a real estate tokenization platform, is preparing to go live on the XRP Ledger using its native REAL token. By building on the XRP Ledger, RealFi aims to unlock direct access to private real estate markets for individual users[6]. The launch of RealFi on XRPL marks a significant step in bringing real-world assets on-chain, further leveraging blockchain technology for real-world asset tokenization[6].
This dynamic illustrates growing but complex investor appetite for aggressive XRP investment vehicles within the broader evolving crypto market landscape. As the market continues to evolve, it will be interesting to see how Teucrium's leveraged XRP ETF and other similar products perform in the future.
