Planning to Invest in the US’ First XRP ETF? Here’s Why Teucrium Says It Could Go to Zero

Teucrium is launching the first-ever XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the United States tomorrow. This new fund, called the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF, is designed to give investors a way to make money from XRP’s price movements—specifically, it aims to deliver twice the daily price performance of XRP for just one day.

This launch shows there’s a growing interest in XRP and crypto-related investments. However, Teucrium has also issued strong warnings for anyone thinking about investing. The fund is new and doesn’t have a long track record, which means there’s not much history to help investors decide if it’s a good choice.

Understanding Leverage: A Double-Edged Sword

The ETF uses something called leverage, which means it tries to amplify gains but also increases the risks. It’s meant for people who plan to trade often and watch the market closely, even daily. It’s not a good fit for people who just want to hold an investment without actively managing it. In fact, investors could lose their entire investment in a single day because of how fast things can change with leverage and XRP’s price swings.

XRP’s Volatility

XRP and similar investments are still pretty new and can be very volatile. The price of XRP can go up and down a lot, and there’s no guarantee it will keep growing in the long run. 

“XRP and XRP-related investments are relatively new investments. They are subject to unique and substantial risks and historically have been subject to significant price volatility. The value of an investment in the Fund could decline significantly and without warning, including to zero,” the company said.

Before jumping in, investors should really think about how much risk they’re comfortable with. This ETF might seem like an exciting way to invest in XRP, but it comes with big risks that could lead to serious losses.
