XRP and Dogecoin ETFs’ Dazzling Debut
The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) marked its entry into the market with a remarkable trading volume of 37.7 million dollars on its first day. According to Bloomberg data, this volume represents the highest first-day trading volume among 710 ETFs launched throughout the year. Similarly, the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) achieved a notable first-day trading volume of approximately 17 million dollars, placing it in the top five ETFs launched this year.
Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, noted that XRP ETF’s volume reached 24 million dollars within the first 90 minutes, surpassing the volume of previously launched XRP futures ETFs by a factor of five. Meanwhile, the DOJE ETF generated nearly 6 million dollars in trading volume during its first hour of trading.
ETF launches are recorded under the United States’ 1940 Securities Act. Similar to Bitcoin
