Ripple News: XRP ETF Launches Automatically While SEC Stays Silent During Shutdown
Teucrium XRP ETF went live, despite US SEC shutdown.
It went live because it was registered under 1940 Investment Company Act.
Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, and few other ETFs to launch this month.
The crypto market is active as the Teucrium XRP ETF went live, despite the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) entering a government shutdown on October 1. During the shutdown, the SEC is handling only emergency matters, leaving routine approvals, including ETF listings, on hold.
How did the XRP ETF launch without formal approval? One expert explained that the Teucrium XRP ETF wasn’t explicitly approved by the SEC. Instead, he noted that “silence is compliance,” meaning the ETF went live automatically after reaching its regulatory deadline.
Hows and Whys Explained
Crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett clarified that the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Since the fund holds Treasuries, cash, and swap receivables, it did not require formal SEC approval to start trading.
Terrett wrote on X, “Spot ETFs, though, are registered under the 33 Act as commodity trusts and DO require explicit SEC approval before launching.”
“So any new spot crypto ETFs ($LTC, $SOL, $XRP) won’t begin trading until the SEC can declare the S‑1s effective, likely after the government shutdown is over and the agency has returned to operating at full capacity,” she added.
This situation shows how regulatory deadlines can allow financial products to launch while the SEC is temporarily inactive. Investors now have access to the Teucrium XRP ETF, even as the market considers whether it counts as official approval.

FAQs
The Teucrium XRP ETF launched automatically because its regulatory deadline passed. It’s registered under the 1940 Act, which allows a “silence is compliance” rule, unlike spot ETFs.
No. The SEC is in a government shutdown, pausing all routine approvals. Final decisions on pending spot ETFs for Solana and Litecoin are delayed until the SEC reopens.
The SEC has missed deadlines, like for the Canary Litecoin ETF. All other pending ETF decisions are effectively on hold until the government reopens and the agency resumes full operations.
