Catenaa, Sunday, November 09, 2025- Bitwise and Grayscale have disclosed fees for their upcoming XRP and Dogecoin exchange-traded funds, pressing ahead with plans to launch even without approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
Bitwise said it will charge a 0.34% fee for its Bitwise XRP ETF, while Grayscale disclosed a 0.35% fee for both its XRP and Dogecoin ETFs, according to regulatory filings released over the weekend. The funds are expected to begin trading within weeks under a new framework that allows ETFs to go live after 20 days without SEC intervention.
The approach mirrors Grayscale’s launch of its SOL ETF last week, which proceeded without direct regulatory clearance. Bitwise and Grayscale’s filings follow a wave of crypto ETF activity, including recent launches for Solana, Litecoin, and HBAR.
Industry observers say the move marks a turning point for crypto-based funds, as companies exploit a procedural gap during the government shutdown that left the SEC with limited capacity to review new applications.
The SEC’s guidance last month confirmed that ETF issuers could proceed with finalized S-1 filings absent a delaying amendment, effectively bypassing the agency’s formal sign-off.
Market analysts predict the first spot XRP ETFs could launch within two weeks, signaling broader momentum for crypto integration into traditional financial markets despite lingering regulatory uncertainty.
