Balchunas had previously stated that these DOGE and XRP ETFs would be launched last week. However, he later mentioned that the launch was delayed and rescheduled for this week.

As previously mentioned by Balchunas, REX-Osprey’s Dogecoin and XRP ETFs will be launched under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or “40 Act” regulations. The asset manager has also applied for TRUMP and BONK ETFs, but Balchunas stated that there is no update on when these ETFs will be released.

Currently, there are also spot ETF filings for the altcoin under the Securities Act of 1933 or “33 Act”, but the SEC has yet to approve these filings. Notably, seven issuers have filed for XRP ETFs under the 33 Act, while three others have filed for ETFs for the top meme coin.

It is also worth noting that these funds from REX-Osprey will not only hold spot assets. Another Bloomberg analyst, James Seyffart, revealed that the DOGE ETF will contain other spot DOGE ETFs. Similarly, the XRP ETF will include other assets besides spot XRP.
