The highly anticipated launch of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF, a product that has faced repeated delays, now has a new projected timeline. Following postponements from its initial September 11th and 12th dates, Bloomberg ETF analysts <b>James Seyffart</b> and <b>Eric Balchunas</b> suggest a more realistic launch is likely to occur next week. Balchunas, in particular, has pointed to Thursday, September 18th, as a probable date for the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF, which was originally slated to launch before the XRP fund. The uncertainty surrounding the launch order has left investors closely watching for official announcements.

<h2>Navigating the ETF Landscape and Fund Structure</h2>
The REX-Osprey crypto ETFs are structured as Registered Investment Companies (RICs) under the 1940 Investment Act. This classification is a key distinction, as the article clarifies that the upcoming XRP product may not be a true <a href="https://www.cryptoknowmics.com/news/ethereum-whales-accumulate-as-spot-etf-inflow-streak-ends-amidst-price-stability/">spot ETF</a>, despite community discussion. The fund is designed to allocate a minimum of 80% of its assets directly to XRP. The remaining portion will be held in a diverse mix of financial instruments, including Money Market Funds, XRP futures, U.S. Treasuries, and other crypto ETFs. This blend of assets is intended to provide investors with exposure to XRP while maintaining a diversified portfolio.

While the REX-Osprey launch moves forward, the broader crypto market continues to await the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decisions on actual spot XRP ETF applications. The SEC is facing a looming deadline in October to rule on several of these proposals. The outcomes of these decisions are expected to have a significant impact on the market, potentially paving the way for wider institutional adoption of XRP. As the regulatory landscape evolves, the launch of RIC-structured funds like REX-Osprey's offering provides a notable milestone in the ongoing quest for broader crypto investment products.
