First U.S. XRP and DOGE ETFs Launching Tomorrow
REX-Osprey launches the first U.S.-listed ETFs with spot exposure to XRP and DOGE starting September 18.
- XRP and DOGE ETFs to debut on U.S. markets by REX-Osprey
- Funds aim to offer spot exposure under a 1940 Act structure
- Launch set for September 18, pending SEC objections
Historic Move for XRP and DOGE Investors
The U.S. crypto investment landscape is set to expand as REX Shares and Osprey Funds prepare to launch the country’s first exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offering spot exposure to XRP and Dogecoin (DOGE). These ETFs, listed under the tickers XRPR (for XRP) and DOJE (for DOGE), are expected to begin trading on September 18, 2025, assuming no last-minute objections from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
This marks a significant step in legitimizing altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum within regulated investment frameworks. While Bitcoin spot ETFs made headlines earlier in 2024, this launch could open the door for broader altcoin participation in traditional financial markets.
How These ETFs Are Structured
Unlike some previously attempted crypto ETFs, the XRPR and DOJE funds are structured under the Investment Company Act of 1940. This legal framework allows the funds to proceed automatically after a 75-day review period unless explicitly blocked by the SEC.
The ETFs are designed to give investors spot exposure to XRP and DOGE, but not in a purely direct manner. Instead of holding only the cryptocurrencies themselves, the funds may also allocate a portion of their holdings to other ETF products or investment vehicles that track XRP and DOGE. This indirect exposure is meant to balance market access with compliance and liquidity needs.
Sources report that the XRP ETF, for instance, may include around 40% exposure through other XRP-related ETFs or derivative-backed instruments, with the remainder held in cash or other crypto-linked assets.
What This Means for the Market
If successful, the launch of these ETFs could pave the way for more altcoin-based investment products in the U.S., signaling growing
