The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cleared Rex-Osprey’s highly anticipated lineup of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs), paving the way for their official launch this Friday. The approvals follow the completion of the regulator’s 75-day review period, during which no objections were raised.
The Rex-Osprey ETF’s are set to launch on Friday without SEC objection, clearing the 75 day review window.

The Rex-Osprey crypto ETFs will include products tied to XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Bonk (BONK), TRUMP, and Bitcoin, offering investors new avenues to gain regulated exposure to the digital asset market. This development is being hailed as another major step forward for crypto’s integration into mainstream finance.
A Landmark Moment for Crypto ETFs
The upcoming launch has stirred excitement among analysts and market participants alike. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas explained that under SEC rules, funds operating under the 40 Act structure are not direct spot crypto investments, but the absence of objections allows issuers to proceed after 75 days.
Dom Kwok, a prominent market commentator, predicts that Rex-Osprey’s XRP ETF could drive one of the largest inflows in crypto ETF history, potentially attracting billions in institutional demand. This projection comes as the SEC faces multiple deadlines in October for other crypto ETF applications.
For Dogecoin, the debut of the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (ticker: DOJE) marks a particularly historic milestone, as it would be the first regulated U.S. fund providing exposure to DOGE. The move is expected to broaden access for both retail traders and institutional investors, many of whom have been waiting for compliant products to enter the space.
SEC Remains Cautious on Other Applications
Despite the green light for Rex-Osprey, the SEC continues to tread carefully on other crypto-related ETF filings. Earlier this week, the regulator extended its review of the Franklin Solana ETF and another XRP ETF application, pushing the deadline to November 14, 2025. Similarly, the decision on the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF was postponed until November 12, 2025.
The SEC has also delayed ruling on BlackRock’s request to add staking features to its Ethereum ETF, with the final decision expected by the end of October. These moves highlight the regulator’s cautious stance toward products tied to newer or riskier areas of the crypto ecosystem.
Growing Momentum for Regulated Crypto
Even with regulatory delays, the launch of Rex-Osprey’s ETF suite signals accelerating momentum for regulated crypto products in U.S. markets. While these ETFs won’t directly hold spot crypto assets, their approval reflects a gradual shift in the SEC’s approach and underscores the rising role of digital assets within the broader financial system.
As Friday approaches, anticipation is mounting. If demand meets expectations, Rex-Osprey’s ETFs could mark a turning point, opening the floodgates for mainstream participation in crypto investing while giving legitimacy to assets like XRP, DOGE, and BONK.
