Teucrium’s XRP ETF gathered over $500 million within 12 weeks of launch, reflecting strong early demand. The fund reached the milestone faster than many expected and drew attention across crypto markets. CEO Sal Gilbertie confirmed the figures during a recent CoinDesk interview.
Teucrium launched its XRP ETF with a paper-based structure rather than holding the underlying asset. Despite that design, investors directed more than $500 million into the fund within 12 weeks. Gilbertie said, “We raised half a billion dollars in just 12 weeks,” and he stressed the speed of inflows.
The ETF does not provide direct XRP custody, yet it offers regulated market access. As a result, investors avoided managing wallets and private keys while gaining exposure. Consequently, both retail and institutional participants entered through traditional brokerage accounts.
Recent data shows XRP-linked ETFs attracted $1.4 billion in four months. That figure highlights sustained demand beyond a single product launch. Teucrium’s early performance aligns with that broader trend across regulated crypto investment vehicles.
Gilbertie credited community support for driving awareness and early allocations. He stated, “XRP community is an army, and they’re willing to go to battle.” He added that the community actively promotes products aligned with XRP exposure.
Gilbertie connected the ETF’s growth to the global XRP community’s engagement. He described the base as organized and vocal across digital platforms. As a result, the fund gained visibility shortly after listing.
He emphasized that community members sought accessible investment channels. Therefore, many participants chose the ETF structure over direct token purchases. The approach allowed exposure within established financial systems.
Beyond the ETF, Gilbertie addressed Ripple’s long-term positioning. He suggested that a banking license could elevate the company into a top-20 global bank. He framed that view around Ripple’s existing cross-border payments infrastructure.
Gilbertie compared Ripple’s potential scale to institutions such as JPMorgan. He argued that blockchain-based systems can integrate with institutional-grade services. At the same time, he focused on operational capacity rather than speculation.
The XRP ETF launch coincided with growing institutional interest in digital assets. Capital flows into regulated products increased during the past several months. XRP-linked funds collectively recorded $1.4 billion in inflows over four months.
Teucrium continues to track investor demand following the $500 million milestone. The company maintains its paper-based structure for the current product. Gilbertie reiterated the 12-week achievement during the CoinDesk interview.
