Summary

T. Rowe Price launched TKNZ on NYSE Arca on July 16, 2026, with about $15 million in initial assets, marking the firm’s first crypto ETF and, according to the firm and ETF analyst Nate Geraci, the first actively managed multi-token spot crypto exchange-traded product available to U.S. investors. The SEC approved NYSE Arca’s proposal to list and trade the fund on June 12, 2026. The actively managed fund holds tokens directly and is designed as an alternative to single-token and passive crypto products. As of July 17, disclosed holdings showed BTC at 41.13% of the portfolio, ETH at 18.31%, BNB at 11.12%, SOL at 9.46%, XRP at 9.42% and HYPE at 6.14%, with smaller positions in stellar lumens, dogecoin, USD Coin, and cash. XRP traded around $1.08 in related market coverage, and its inclusion in TKNZ was presented as a sign that institutional crypto products are broadening beyond the largest tokens. Separately, U.S. lawmakers are debating the CLARITY Act, proposed legislation that could clarify XRP’s regulatory treatment and affect market access in the United States, though any impact remains uncertain. TKNZ charges a net expense ratio of 0.75% through May 2027 before reverting to 0.90%.
