Hold onto your wallets, folks! The much-anticipated debut of Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is finally upon us. Yes, you read that correctly-this Thursday, September 18, marks the grand entrance of these crypto titans into the U.S. market, courtesy of REX-Osprey. Because why not add a little *digital sparkle* to your investment portfolio? 💸✨
Eric Balchunas, Bloomberg’s ETF guru, has spilled the beans on X (yes, X, because we’re all trying to forget what Twitter was) that the Dogecoin ETF will be under the ticker DOJE and XRP will be strutting its stuff under XRPR. Who knew crypto could get this fancy? 🧐
As of now, the Doge ETF $DOJE is slated for Thursday launch, as is a 40 Act spot XRP ETF $XRPR (which was in the same prospectus that went effective, Trump and Bonk also in there too, but no word on launch date for those yet)

Funny enough, this is happening right after both ETFs were delayed at the last minute. Because, of course, we can’t just have nice things without a bit of suspense. 😅
Spot Crypto ETFs: The First of Their Kind in the U.S.
According to REX Shares, the masterminds behind these products, the XRP ETF is a game-changer. The XRPR will be the first U.S. ETF to give investors direct “spot” exposure to XRP-because why actually buy the coin when you can just hold it in your ETF? The future is here, and it involves less hassle and more trading! 💼🔮
The REX-Osprey™ XRP ETF, $XRPR, is coming this week! $XRPR will be the first U.S. ETF to deliver investors spot exposure to the third largest cryptocurrency by market cap, $XRP.

REX-Osprey isn’t stopping there, folks. This shiny new ETF promises to deliver XRP directly to your portfolio, no more waiting in line at the crypto exchange. Truly, a dream come true for those who like to sit back and relax while their investments do all the work. 🛋️💤
Regulatory Tango: A Dance with the SEC
Here’s where the plot thickens. These ETFs are being launched under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (otherwise known as the 40 Act), which somehow allows them to skip ahead even though the Securities Act of 1933 is still holding things up. It’s like getting VIP access at the door while the rest of the crowd waits in line. 🎟️
However, before you get too excited, Balchunas pointed out that there are already seven contenders who’ve filed for XRP ETFs under the 33 Act and three for Dogecoin ETFs. But, oh no-none of these filings have been approved by the almighty SEC. But hey, who’s counting? 🤷♂️
What’s Inside These ETFs?
Here’s the kicker: Balchunas’ sidekick, James Seyffart, spilled the beans on the structure of these ETFs. The DOJE will include other spot DOGE ETFs (yes, a DOGE-ception, because why stop at just one DOGE ETF?), while the XRP ETF will feature a mix of assets along with spot XRP. So, these aren’t your run-of-the-mill single-asset ETFs. Welcome to the crypto buffet! 🥳
But wait, there’s more! According to Balchunas, the same prospectus that cleared the way for DOJE and XRPR also includes filings for the TRUMP and BONK ETFs. But don’t hold your breath-those don’t have launch dates yet. 😏
REX Shares is really going all in on crypto-linked funds. Their Solana staking ETF crossed a hefty $250 million in assets under management, so expectations are high for these new funds. Will they deliver? Only time, and maybe a few more market surprises, will tell. ⏳📉
