REX Shares, an exchange-traded products provider, has filed for several exchange-traded funds, including listings for TRUMP and Dogecoin ETFs. The asset manager submitted the ETF filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Jan. 21, just one day after former SEC Chair Gary Gensler stepped down from the agency. However, it’s not just Official Trump ( TRUMP ) and Dogecoin ( DOGE ) ETFs that REX Shares is pursuing. The asset manager has partnered with investment products firm Osprey to file for crypto funds tied to Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Bonk, and Solana. Eric Balchunas, a senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, described the development as “surreal” in a post on X. According to the prospectus, the proposed funds aim to allocate at least 80% of their net assets to these products, including the recently launched TRUMP meme coin.

This will be achieved either through direct investment in TRUMP or via the REX-Osprey TRUMP Subsidiary. Specifically, the fund will seek exposure by holding TRUMP tokens or through derivatives and swap contracts. Under Gensler’s leadership, the SEC approved several spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs in 2024, with these products experiencing massive demand through issuers such as BlackRock, Fidelity, Bitwise, and Ark/21Shares. In addition to TRUMP and Dogecoin, multiple asset managers and ETP issuers have filed for exchange-traded funds tied to XRP, Solana, and Litecoin . The filing for approval to list a TRUMP ETF comes just days after U.S. President Donald Trump launched the meme coin ahead of his inauguration. At its peak, the TRUMP token surged to a market cap of over $15 billion, with the coin’s price reaching highs of $75. However, the token has since dropped to around $38, with its market cap falling to $7.7 billion. Read more: Official Trump meme coin price craters as whales dump
