U.S. Spot ETFs for DOGE & XRP Unlock New Access

The post U.S. Spot ETFs for DOGE & XRP Unlock New Access appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 27 September 2025 | 11:40 REX Osprey has launched the first U.S.-listed spot ETFs for Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP (XRPR), giving investors regulated, direct exposure to two of the market’s most popular altcoins.
