Two new altcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are expected to begin trading in the United States this week, tracking the cryptocurrencies XRP and Dogecoin. This marks a new phase of crypto investment products becoming available to the public.
The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (ticker: XRPR) is scheduled to launch on Friday. This will be the first U.S. ETF to provide direct exposure to XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The fund was approved under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which has a more streamlined approval process than the one used for spot Bitcoin ETFs.
A Dogecoin ETF (ticker: DOJE), also from REX-Osprey, is also set to launch on Thursday. As a "memecoin," this would be the first of its kind in the U.S. Like the XRP fund, the Dogecoin ETF was approved under the 1940 Act.These launches are a sign of increasing interest in a wider range of crypto investment products. Other issuers are also working to bring more altcoin ETFs to market. For example, there are active filings for ETFs tracking Litecoin, Avalanche, and BNB, with more than 90 crypto exchange-traded products awaiting SEC approval.
