U.S. Spot ETFs for DOGE & XRP Unlock New Access

The post U.S. Spot ETFs for DOGE & XRP Unlock New Access appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 27 September 2025 | 11:40 REX Osprey has launched the first U.S.-listed spot ETFs for Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP (XRPR), giving investors regulated, direct exposure to two of the market’s most popular altcoins. Structured under the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, these ETFs provide investor protections that many crypto products still lack.

This move follows earlier milestones such as Solana’s staking ETF approval and reinforces that spot crypto ETFs are no longer niche products. They are quickly becoming a mainstream gateway to digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
