September 18, 2025, will become an important day in the history of cryptocurrency. REX-Osprey announced that its developed DOGE spot ETF (trading code: DOJE) will officially begin trading on the U.S. securities market. This move means that U.S. investors can directly invest in DOGE for the first time through traditional securities brokers, without the need for specialized digital currency wallets.
At the same time, REX-Osprey will also launch an XRP (Ripple) ETF (ticker: XRPR), and both ETF products will share a single prospectus. This innovation allows investors to easily trade on brokerage platforms by entering the code, just like buying regular stocks or ETFs.
Financial analysts generally believe that the launch of these new encryption currency ETFs, following the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, marks the entry of altcoins into the mainstream financial system, representing a significant milestone.
DOGE ETF (DOJE) as a spot exchange-traded fund will provide investors with investment opportunities in DOGE through securities brokers. This method allows investors to avoid managing private keys, digital wallets, or additional custodial services, greatly simplifying the investment process.
For retail investors, this means they can gain direct exposure to DOGE investments in their existing brokerage accounts, significantly lowering the participation threshold. For institutional investors, ETFs offer a regulated custody mechanism, providing significant advantages in compliance, tax handling, and portfolio management.
This development not only reflects the maturity of the cryptocurrency market but also signifies the increasing acceptance of digital assets by traditional financial markets. With the emergence of more cryptocurrency ETF products, we may see a further popularization of cryptocurrency investments, bringing more liquidity and stability to the market. However, investors should still be cautious, as despite the more convenient investment channels, the high volatility and risks of the cryptocurrency market remain and should be approached with care.
