Potential Launch of Dogecoin and Ripple Exchange-Traded Funds This Week
The financial landscape is set to change with the upcoming launch of two unique Crypto Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) - the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR). Developed through a collaboration between REX Shares and Osprey Funds, these ETFs are scheduled to go live in the US around mid-September 2025.
The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) is set to debut on Thursday, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, while the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) is scheduled to launch later in the week. The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) are not traditional spot crypto ETFs due to their structure based on a registered investment company (RIC) framework and associated investment strategies.
Both ETFs will operate under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and will have the flexibility to use derivatives in their investment strategies. This flexibility allows them to invest in other ETFs as part of their strategies, offering a blend of spot crypto holdings and flexibility.
One of the key differences between the two ETFs lies in their methods for distributing investor returns. The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) will have different tax treatments compared to traditional spot crypto ETFs.
The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) will be managed by REX Shares, with the XRP ETF trading under the ticker XRPR and the Dogecoin ETF under DOJE. The news about the ETFs comes from an excerpt from the Unchained Daily newsletter.
As these ETFs prepare to enter the market, they are expected to offer investors a new avenue for investing in digital assets, potentially broadening the reach and accessibility of cryptocurrencies. The debut of the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) and the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) marks an exciting step forward in the evolution of the crypto market.
