New York (Patrika English News): U.S. investors will soon have a new way to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies like Dogecoin, XRP, Trump, and Bonk through the REX-Osprey DOJE ETF. The fund, which recently reached “post-effective” status with the SEC under the Investment Company Act of 1940, is expected to begin trading next week after a slight delay.
Unlike purchasing crypto directly from exchanges, this ETF allows investors to buy regulated shares linked to digital assets through traditional brokerages.
