The US ETF process, which began with Bitcoin, continues with the addition of new altcoins. While both individual and collective crypto ETFs are attracting attention, the latest move comes from a major company.
Accordingly, T. Rowe Price, a US asset management company that manages $1.8 trillion in assets, has applied for a new crypto ETF.
T. Rowe Price has filed an S-1 application with the SEC for the launch of the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF.
T. Rowe Price has expanded its range of cryptocurrencies by submitting a modified S-1 form for its Price Active Crypto ETF, for which it first filed an application in October.
According to the document presented, the ETF is designed to invest in 15 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Dogecoin (DOGE), Hedera (HBAR), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Sui (SUI).
The ETF offers the opportunity to invest in five to fifteen crypto assets simultaneously using an active management strategy, rather than tracking a single token or passively monitoring a benchmark index.
Through an ETF, investors can invest in an ETF consisting of five to fifteen cryptocurrencies from a wide list, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other altcoins.
The new SEC filing also states that Anchorage Digital Bank has been designated as a cryptocurrency custodian.
According to the filing, the ETF will initially use a cash subscription and repurchase model. This means investors will create or repurchase ETF shares using cash, rather than directly transferring cryptocurrency. The filing also states that this structure could evolve in the future to allow for in-kind transactions.
