REX Shares, in partnership with Osprey Funds, will launch the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) and REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) on September 18, 2025. These mark the first U.S.-listed spot ETFs for both cryptocurrencies, providing investors with regulated access to XRP and DOGE through standard brokerage accounts without needing crypto wallets or exchange accounts.
The launch represents a historic milestone for altcoin adoption on Wall Street. ETF Store President Nate Geraci confirmed the development, stating: "The first Dogecoin ETF is finished. The first XRP ETF offers spot XRP access. The next few months will be quite busy." Bloomberg ETF analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart verified the September 18 launch date, a slight delay from the initial September 12 target.
Both ETFs operate under a hybrid investment model where at least 80% of assets will be invested in the reference cryptocurrency or directly linked instruments, while at least 40% will be held in ETFs and exchange-traded products including international listings. The funds will source liquidity through major exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken.
XRP has seen significant institutional interest, reaching a $167 billion market cap as of August 2025, while Dogecoin continues to transition from meme coin to legitimate cryptocurrency with growing practical use cases. The same prospectus also includes TRUMP and BONK ETFs, though no firm launch dates have been announced for those products.
