The Ripple token (XRP) is the biggest gainer today, as the price surged multiple folds amid the XRP ETF hype. Despite the high volatility, legal battles, and crypto market downtrend amid the tariff chaos, the Asset manager Teucrium Investment Advisors is set to launch the first ever XRP-based exchange-traded fund in the US markets. As the hype is rising, the token is booming with gains. Will it pump the rice 600%? Let’s discuss this.
Teucrium Investment Advisors to Launch First Ever XRP ETF
Teucrium Investment Advisors is set to launch the XRP leverage exchange-traded fund, XXRP, today, April 8, in the US market on the NYSE Arca. More importantly, it is the first ever ETF for this digital asset that is also a leverage one, making it more interesting as it does not have a spot ETF yet.
Because of this, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas called it “very odd” before mentioning that this was the first ever case.
The fund Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF will offer double the daily returns of the Ripple token. However, there are significant concerns as the Ripple price faces high volatility, especially in Trump’s tariff era.
Even the investment advisors have left warnings but believe this is the right time to launch due to the low XRP price.
Why XRP ETF Matters For Ripple Price?
Industry experts have called the spot XRP ETF approval the most significant factor in the Ripple token’s bullish performance. Some even anticipate the XRP price hitting $1000 with these factors.

Today’s leverage ETF launch is fuelling the fire further. Interestingly, the 10% surge in the XRP price reveals investors’ increasing enthusiasm around the exchange-traded fund.
With that, it currently trades at $1.86 with a market capitalization of $108.78B and is heading towards a bullish trajectory to $13 per expert.
