  2. XRP Investors Face Delay as Leveraged ETF Launch Pushed to November 30 — this brief

GraniteShares has delayed the launch of its leveraged XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), originally expected before the end of 2023, until November 30, 2026. The postponement, reported by Blockonomi, applies to both the 3x Long and 3x Short XRP Daily ETFs.

The amendment, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on October 26, also delays the launch of leveraged Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana funds. The filing does not provide a reason for the postponement.

Despite the delay, XRP's price has shown resilience, increasing by 1.26% in the past 24 hours. This suggests that the market may not view the delay as a significant negative indicator for XRP's short-term prospects.

The postponement comes amid a broader regulatory landscape that has been cautious about approving crypto-related financial products. The delay of these leveraged ETFs could indicate ongoing regulatory scrutiny or operational challenges in launching such products.

The total cryptocurrency market cap remains around $2.75 trillion, with Bitcoin and Ethereum also experiencing slight declines over the past 24 hours. The Fear & Greed Index stands at 48, indicating a neutral market sentiment.

What this means in rupee

At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.98M (about $79,766.00), down 0.7% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 5.0% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
