Take Note XRP Traders: This Leveraged ETF Is 'Designed To Be Traded Each Day'
Sal Gilbertie, President of Teucrium Trading on Monday outlined the growing momentum behind cryptocurrency ETFs, especially those beyond Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

With regards to the success of Teucrium's newly launched double-leveraged XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) fund, Gilbertie said, "We very much suspect that and knew, I will say, that there was demand for XRP and demand for treatable XRP product where people could get aggressive."

The product, listed as (NYSE:XXRP), offers double exposure to XRP through derivatives and has drawn significant interest from traders seeking short-term, high-volatility instruments.
Gilbertie clarified that this product is "not designed to be bought and held at all. It's designed to be traded each day," stressing that leveraged ETFs like XXRP are meant strictly for active, daily traders.
He contrasted this with unlevered crypto ETFs, which he says are more appropriate for long-term allocators: "Think allocators and people who want a steady exposure in their portfolio to crypto should do an unlevered fund."
The shift in Washington's regulatory attitude was also a focal point.
Gilbertie acknowledged that the process for listing new ETFs remains rigorous but added, "It's a completely different environment in Washington right now. It's more friendly. It's more welcoming towards innovation, especially in crypto."Why It Matters: Despite the rising sophistication of ETF investors, Gilbertie believes education remains essential.
"I think we're getting there. I think that people are becoming more savvy. I think savvy enough. I'm not sure anybody will ever be savvy enough," he said.
As crypto derivatives mature, Gilbertie hinted at more innovation on the horizon, though he noted that new products require "a lot more work involved on a literally an hourly basis" due to liquidity and infrastructure challenges compared to traditional commodities like grain.
The conversation reflects a broader industry trend toward crypto ETF experimentation, facilitated by both investor demand and a shifting regulatory climate that is beginning to favor innovation over restriction.

Trump suspends tax exemption for cheap shipments
President Donald Trump last week suspended a global trade loophole allowing smaller parcels into America duty-free. This closes a backdoor into the United States for Chinese mega-shippers like Shein and Temu, who could potentially pass the cost of those duties down to consumers. Trump eliminated the so-called 'de minimis exemption,' which had admitted duty-free shipments of goods worth $800 or less into the United States. Giant e-commerce sites used the loophole when shipping hundreds of millions of packages to US consumers. The administration did away with the exemption for goods coming out of China and Hong Kong in May amid the US-China trade war. This latest move extends that to every country around the world. Trump said in an executive order issued on Wednesday that 'many shippers go to great lengths to evade law enforcement and hide illicit substances in imports that go through international commerce' and the risk of 'evasion, deception, and illicit-drug importation are particularly high for low-value articles that have been eligible for duty-free de minimis treatment.' This is more bad news for Chinese retailers and their customers because it shuts down the option of re-routing small shipments duty-free through countries like Vietnam, which is facing a tariff rate of 20%. The executive order also demands that the origin of the package must be declared to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP). Temu and Shein had already started stockpiling goods and bulk-shipping to US warehouses to lower shipping times. Hours after the de minimis exemption expired for China in early May, Temu announced it was overhauling its shipping model. It said it would send out all American orders via US-based distributors, adding that its 'pricing for US consumers remains unchanged.' But some of Temu's American buyers subsequently complained of higher prices and items were quickly out of stock. Companies also will eventually need to restock their warehouses, and 'by imposing (the suspension of de minimis) for the whole world, there is no other workaround,' Chris Tang, a professor of global supply chain management at the University of California, Los Angeles, told CNN. Companies will now have to pay a hefty import tax even if they ship in bulk, which means customers may eventually have to pay more. The suspension of de minimis will also affect the millions of sellers on Amazon Haul, a discount competitor to Temu and TikTok Shop. Amazon and Temu have not responded to CNN's request for comment. Last week's repeal will affect a massive amount of packages that Americans are accustomed to receiving duty-free, the sheer amount of which has grown exponentially over the past decade. CBP previously told CNN it processes 'nearly 4 million duty-free de minimis shipments a day.' Research indicates that a majority of those shipments come from China and Hong Kong. In total, over the last fiscal year, CBP said 1.36 billion packages came to the United States under the de minimis exemption. When Trump's executive order goes into effect on August 29, most goods shipped internationally will be subject to the tariffs of the country of origin. Those duties will be about $80 per item for a country with a tariff rate less than 16%, $160 per item for a country of a tariff rate between 16% and 25%, $200 per item for a country with a tariff rate above 25%. Some of that cost could be passed down to consumers. Lower-income households will suffer the most from higher prices on Chinese e-commerce sites. About 48% of de minimis packages were shipped to America's poorest zip codes, while 22% were delivered to the richest ones, according to research in February from UCLA and Yale economists. The Trump administration had first slashed the de minimis exemption on China in May, but then cut the tariff on those cheap packages from 120% to 54%. There is also a $100 flat-fee option for those goods. A federal trade court this week declined to block Trump's elimination of the de minimis exemption on goods from China because the issue is already covered in a broader case challenging Trump's tariff policies. As part of Trump's 'Big Beautiful Bill,' the de minimis rule was slated for repeal on all countries in July 2027. It even established a civil penalty up to $10,000 for more than one violation of the rule.

Vimeo (VMEO) Q2 Earnings Report Preview: What To Look For
Video software platform Vimeo (NASDAQ:VMEO) will be announcing earnings results this Monday after market close. Here's what to look for. Vimeo beat analysts' revenue expectations by 1.6% last quarter, reporting revenues of $103 million, down 1.8% year on year. It was a very strong quarter for the company, with an impressive beat of analysts' EPS estimates. Is Vimeo a buy or sell going into earnings? Read our full analysis here, it's free. This quarter, analysts are expecting Vimeo's revenue to grow 1.3% year on year to $105.8 million, slowing from the 2.5% increase it recorded in the same quarter last year. The majority of analysts covering the company have reconfirmed their estimates over the last 30 days, suggesting they anticipate the business to stay the course heading into earnings. Vimeo has a history of exceeding Wall Street's expectations, beating revenue estimates every single time over the past two years by 3.5% on average. Looking at Vimeo's peers in the media & entertainment segment, some have already reported their Q2 results, giving us a hint as to what we can expect. IMAX delivered year-on-year revenue growth of 3.1%, beating analysts' expectations by 1%, and Interpublic Group reported a revenue decline of 6.6%, in line with consensus estimates. IMAX traded down 7.5% following the results while Interpublic Group was up 10.6%. Read our full analysis of IMAX's results here and Interpublic Group's results here. The euphoria surrounding Trump's November win lit a fire under major indices, but potential tariffs have caused the market to do a 180 in 2025. While some of the media & entertainment stocks have shown solid performance in this choppy environment, the group has generally underperformed, with share prices down 4.4% on average over the last month. Vimeo is down 7.1% during the same time and is heading into earnings with an average analyst price target of $6.85 (compared to the current share price of $3.67).
