XRP Covered Call ETF Faces Delay as October 11 Date Emerges

Roundhill delayed the effective date of its XRP Covered Call ETF to October 11, 2026. The fund would be a combination of XRP-based exposure and an options strategy that would produce income. Covered-call products typically trade a portion of upside potential against recurring premiums, which attractive traders to income-oriented traders.

Roundhill just delayed its XRP Covered Call ETF to Oct 11. Same date as that 2x Short XRP ETF we just covered.

Listed Funds Trust postponed the Teucrium 2x Short Daily XRP ETF to October 11, as well. The former is a leveraged inverse exchange that enables traders to go after depreciation in the daily performance of XRP. Its design contrasts with the offered income strategy by Roundhill.

The filings are indicative of Wall Street taking an increasing interest in constructing differentiated strategies around XRP as opposed to providing direct exposure on its own. Delayed effective dates are however not necessarily a sign of rejection. Both products are under regulatory processes and investors are awaiting disclosures before the launch of October.

Will XRP Price Reclaim $1.40 as Bullish MACD Momentum Builds?

The XRP price traded at $1.37, remaining below the immediate $1.40 resistance on the four-hour timeframe. The price movement of XRP remained within the narrow range of $1.30 support and $1.40 resistance, as the market remains uncertain.

The MACD histogram was now enhanced to 0.0024 and the MACD line crossed over its signal line. The two lines, however, were still below zero, indicating that bearish momentum was not completely reversed. The RSI rebounded to 48.12, and XRP was in the neutral range, which justified additional consolidation.

A confirmed close above $1.40 may open a recovery towards the stronger $1.50 resistance. The clearing of $1.50 can lead to $1.60, as long as the trading volume and momentum increase.

Nonetheless, rejection around $1.40 may take XRP price back to $1.30, and a breakdown may reveal $1.20.
