Volatility Shares has postponed the launch of its highly anticipated 2x Long XRP Daily ETF (ticker: XXRP) until the end of December 2025, citing ongoing discussions with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over final prospectus details and risk disclosures. The leveraged product, which aims to deliver twice the daily performance of XRP, was originally scheduled for a mid-December debut but will now target a December 30 or 31 listing, pending approval.
The delay stems from regulatory scrutiny typical for leveraged single-asset crypto ETFs. Volatility Shares, already the issuer of the successful 2x Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITX)—one of the top-performing ETFs of 2025 with over $3 billion in assets—filed for the XRP version earlier this year. While spot XRP ETFs from firms like Bitwise and Grayscale remain in review, leveraged products face additional hurdles due to amplified volatility and investor protection concerns.
Company executives expressed confidence that the minor adjustments requested by the SEC will be addressed swiftly, allowing the fund to launch before markets close for the year. The ETF will track XRP futures or swaps rather than direct spot holdings, similar to existing leveraged Bitcoin and Ethereum products, providing retail and institutional traders amplified exposure without direct custody complexities.
Market participants view the potential launch as a milestone for XRP’s institutional legitimacy, especially following Ripple’s partial legal victory against the SEC and growing clarity around XRP’s non-security status for secondary sales. A year-end debut could capture holiday-thinned trading volumes and position the fund for strong inflows in early 2026.
Competitors, including ProShares and Direxion, are also reportedly preparing leveraged XRP offerings, signaling broader acceptance of altcoin-based derivatives. Volatility Shares’ BITX has demonstrated robust demand for leveraged crypto exposure, often trading at premiums during bullish periods.
As regulatory pathways for crypto ETFs continue to evolve, this latest delay—while minor—highlights the cautious pace of innovation in leveraged digital asset products.
