A regulatory domino fell this week. On September 17, 2025, the SEC approved generic listing standards that let exchanges list qualifying commodity-based ETPs—including those holding spot digital assets—without filing a separate 19b-4 each time. Commissioners issued statements alongside the vote, and the agency also cleared the listing and trading of Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap Fund.
Innovation followed quickly in product land. On September 18, REX-Osprey rolled out the first U.S.-listed spot ETFs for Dogecoin (ticker DOJE) and XRP (ticker XRPR) on Cboe, bringing two of crypto’s most-discussed assets into regulated brokerage accounts. Mainstream coverage underscored the milestone and investor demand building beyond Bitcoin and Ether.
Derivatives breadth is widening too. CME Group says options on Solana and XRP futures will launch on October 13, 2025, pending regulatory review, with both standard and micro contract sizes to help traders fine-tune exposure. The move builds on rising volumes and open interest across CME’s crypto suite this year.
Markets are digesting it all as of September 19, 2025: Bitcoin about $117,216, Ethereum $4,595, Dogecoin $0.280, XRP $3.07, and Solana $247. Quotes move constantly, so check live feeds if you’re trading intraday.
