Grayscale’s Dogecoin and XRP ETFs Begin Trading on NYSE Arca
The debut of multiple U.S. altcoin ETFs, including Grayscale’s GXRP and GDOG, marks a rapid expansion in regulated crypto offerings, with analysts expecting over 100 launches in six months.
On November 25, several U.S. altcoin spot ETFs began trading, including Grayscale’s XRP ETF (GXRP) and Dogecoin ETF (GDOG), along with Franklin Templeton’s XRP Trust (XRPZ). Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF (BWOW) is scheduled to launch on November 27, and a Chainlink spot ETF is anticipated within the week. These launches follow Grayscale’s earlier September introduction of GXRP and GDOG on NYSE Arca, underscoring accelerating growth in regulated cryptocurrency investment vehicles. Analysts project more than 100 crypto ETFs could enter the market within six months.
