The 2036 iShares TIPS ETF appears to have been planned for launch in April 2026 , and one source also described the target maturity as October 2036. That means it looks like it should already be available, or become available around that April 2026 launch window, rather than waiting until 2036 itself.

What the sources say

  • BlackRock reportedly said the new iShares iBonds ETFs would launch before the end of April 2026 , and the lineup included one TIPS fund maturing in 2036.
  • Another report listed the forthcoming TIPS ETF as maturing in October 2036.
  • A later May 2026 piece noted that the newest iShares target-date TIPS ETF had already arrived and was expanding.

Practical read

So the most likely answer is: it was expected to be available by late April 2026, and likely is already live by now. If you meant a specific ticker or a U.S. versus Europe listing, the exact availability can differ by region and share class.

TL;DR

The 2036 iShares TIPS ETF was publicly described as launching in April 2026 , not in 2036.
