Additionally, the ProShares Short XRP ETF seeks to provide the inverse return of XRP futures prices, enhancing trading strategies for both aggressive and conservative portfolios. These innovative futures ETFs are set to commence trading on April 30, 2025, marking a pivotal moment in digital asset investment.
