REX Shares and Osprey Funds have taken a bold step into the cryptocurrency investment landscape by filing for 21 new spot cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This strategic collaboration, operating under the REX-Osprey brand, aims to expand regulated access to various digital assets through traditional investment vehicles.
Expanding the Crypto ETF Universe
The filing includes ETFs designed to track multiple major cryptocurrencies: Hedera (HBAR), Avalanche (AVAX), XRP, Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), SUI, Stellar (XLM), Bittensor (TAO), and more. Each fund will be structured as a traditional ’40 Act investment vehicle, offering investors exposure to spot cryptocurrency prices through a regulated framework. These products represent a significant expansion of the cryptocurrency ETF ecosystem following the recent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs.
Innovative Investment Structure
The proposed ETFs will operate through a unique structure involving Cayman Islands subsidiaries to hold the underlying digital assets. This arrangement aims to satisfy regulatory requirements while providing investors direct exposure to cryptocurrency price movements. The funds will primarily invest in their respective cryptocurrencies while maintaining some cash reserves for liquidity and operational purposes.
Addressing Market Demand
REX-Osprey’s initiative comes as institutional and retail investors increasingly seek regulated vehicles for cryptocurrency exposure. The filing demonstrates the growing maturation of the digital asset investment space, as traditional financial firms continue developing products that bridge the gap between conventional investment structures and cryptocurrency markets.
Looking Forward: The Future of Crypto Investment
While the approval timeline remains uncertain, these filings represent a significant milestone in the evolution of cryptocurrency investment products. REX-Osprey’s comprehensive approach to offering exposure across various digital assets could potentially reshape how investors access the cryptocurrency market through traditional investment channels.
