XRP ETF and Dogecoin ETF launches confirmed by REX‑Osprey; expected this week under the 1940 Act. Read launch details and market context.
What is the REX‑Osprey XRP ETF and when will it launch?
The REX‑Osprey XRP ETF (ticker XRPR) is a spot exposure product to XRP launched under the Investment Company Act of 1940. The issuer completed the SEC’s 75‑day review and the fund is expected to begin trading this week, subject to the SEC raising no objection before automatic launch.
How does the 1940 Act structure affect these ETFs?
The 1940 Act provides a regulatory path commonly used for mutual funds and diversified ETFs. Under this structure, the REX‑Osprey filings proceed to automatic launch after a 75‑day review unless the SEC objects. This contrasts with 1933 Act spot Bitcoin ETF filings, which follow a different approval process.
REX‑Osprey cleared the SEC review for XRP and Dogecoin ETFs, which are expected to launch this week, marking the first US products of their kind.
Two altcoin exchange‑traded funds are set to begin trading in the United States this week, offering investors regulated, exchange‑listed exposure to XRP and Dogecoin as the regulator permits new crypto investment products.
The REX‑Osprey XRP ETF (ticker XRPR) is slated to be the first U.S. ETF providing spot exposure to XRP, the third‑largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. The issuer completed the SEC’s review window and signaled an expected trading start on Friday, barring a last‑minute objection.
The firms completed the SEC’s standard 75‑day review process under the 1940 Act. Unlike direct custody products that rely on other securities laws, this route enables automatic launch after the review window unless the SEC interposes an objection.
Why does the Dogecoin ETF matter and when does it start?
The REX‑Osprey Dogecoin ETF (ticker DOJE) would be the first memecoin ETF approved to trade in the U.S. It also cleared the 1940 Act review and, as of issuer guidance, is slated to begin trading on Thursday of the same week.
What is market interest and context for altcoin ETFs?
Market observers note demand indicators will surface quickly after launch. Futures‑based XRP ETF products have approached sizable assets under management, and listed altcoin ETP interest is expanding across issuers. More than 90 crypto exchange‑traded products remained pending SEC action at the end of August, according to ETF market analysts.
REX‑Osprey previously launched a Solana staking ETF (SSK) in July, but that product has shown modest traction with roughly $274 million in assets under management and limited recent inflows, per market tracking firms. The issuer has also filed for additional staking and altcoin‑related products, including a BNB staking ETF earlier this year.
How many altcoin ETFs are in the pipeline?
Industry filings show a broad pipeline: filings for potential Litecoin, Avalanche, BNB, Hedera and other altcoin products are active or awaiting SEC decision. Some filings have received delays, with the regulator setting new deadlines for decisions on several proposals.
How do the XRPR and DOJE ETFs compare?
| ETF | Ticker | Regulatory Path | Expected Launch |
|---|---|---|---|
| REX‑Osprey XRP ETF | XRPR | Investment Company Act of 1940 | Expected this week (Friday) |
| REX‑Osprey Dogecoin ETF | DOJE | Investment Company Act of 1940 | Expected this week (Thursday) |
Frequently Asked Questions
Will these ETFs hold XRP and DOGE directly?
Yes. The filings indicate the funds are structured to provide spot exposure to the underlying crypto assets, with custody and operational details governed by the fund prospectuses and 1940 Act requirements.
Do these launches mean more altcoin ETFs will be approved?
These launches are a regulatory indicator but not a guarantee. A broad slate of crypto ETP filings remains under SEC review, and each product is assessed on its own disclosures and compliance with the relevant statutes.
