Cryptocurrency asset management company 21Shares has launched the first spot Polkadot (DOT) ETF in the United States. The fund, trading under the ticker symbol TDOT, has begun trading on the Nasdaq exchange.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that the fund was initially launched with $11 million in seed capital and has a 0.3% management fee. Spot crypto ETFs allow investors to be exposed to the price movements of digital assets without directly purchasing them.
According to 21Shares, Polkadot is a blockchain network designed to connect different independent blockchains and enable cross-network interoperability. The network’s native token, DOT, currently has a market capitalization of approximately $1.7 billion.
The company had previously launched spot ETF products that track the price of digital assets such as Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, and Sui. With TDOT, Polkadot has also joined the ranks of crypto assets that can be invested in through an ETF structure in the US.
