T. Rowe Price updates crypto ETF amid TradFi FOMO and inflow surge

Investor interest in crypto ETFs is on the rise, and asset management firm T. Rowe Price has updated its active crypto ETF, allocating more resources to digital assets. 

According to the amendment to Form S-1 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the ETF will provide investors with a wide range of digital asset options.

T. Rowe Price adds new assets to its crypto ETF

T. Rowe Price has always been careful and conservative, as one of the largest traditional asset managers in the world, focusing on mutual funds, retirement savings plans, and other traditional investments. But recently, the company has decided to venture into blockchain-based assets, giving investors exposure to crypto.

To begin with, T. Rowe Price submitted an amendment to its ETF registration statement with the U.S. SEC on March 16, 2026, proposing an actively managed investment strategy in crypto assets.

As per the proposal, the fund will hold up to 15 cryptocurrencies that meet its eligibility requirements, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), and Polkadot (DOT). Additionally, it may hold Dogecoin (DOGE), Hedera (HBAR), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and, most recently, Sui (SUI).

T. Rowe Price also named Anchorage Digital Bank as the crypto custodian for the ETF, which will safely store and protect the digital assets.

To keep the ETF’s trading price close to the value of its underlying assets, the company will issue shares in blocks called Creation Units, each containing 10,000 shares. However, only authorized participants, special financial institutions, can create or redeem these units.

Traditional finance companies are increasingly using crypto ETFs as demand increases

For a long time, traditional finance firms (TradFi) avoided digital assets because the industry was still new and unpredictable. However, as more investors have shown interest in crypto, companies have started offering crypto ETFs.

Large asset managers like BlackRock, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton, VanEck, and Invesco have set the pace in the industry by offering crypto ETFs to investors, attracting more institutions to follow suit.

However, Industry observers did not expect T. Rowe Price to invest in crypto so soon, given the company’s reputation as an extremely cautious traditional asset manager.

The asset manager submitted its proposal in October 2025, when investor excitement was high, and prices were rising quickly. In fact, it was one of the strongest periods of growth, as assets like Bitcoin reached over $120,000.

As such, no one expected T. Rowe Price to join in the trend and add crypto to its portfolio.

However, the excitement was short-lived because a major liquidation event shook the market hard on October 10, and the market began to decline quickly, underscoring its volatility even during periods of high speculation.

For now, the market is slowly recovering, and crypto ETFs are becoming more favorable among investors due to improved regulations, such as the CLARITY Act, growing institutional adoption by large asset managers, and investor interest in diversification.

Crypto ETFs offer many benefits for institutional investors and are becoming a main part of mainstream finance, as seen with companies like T. Rowe Price, known for conservative investment strategies. 

Meanwhile, it is worth noting that the company’s amendment coincides with renewed interest in crypto ETFs as an investment opportunity and rising inflows into digital asset funds, suggesting that institutional interest in crypto assets might persist. 

Looking ahead, the next wave of institutional adoption is expected to be actively managed crypto ETFs. Unlike passive funds that track the market, an active fund allows the manager to make changes to the fund based on market conditions and trends.

If this model catches on, it may attract more institutional investment into the digital asset space. And as more and more traditional investment managers explore this space, crypto ETFs may continue to evolve from being experimental products to being mainstream investment tools globally.

200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On?

200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On?

The post 200,000,000 XRP out in 2 Weeks: What’s Going On? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In the last 14 days, wallets with between 1,000,000 and 10,000,000 XRP have reduced their holdings by around 200,000,000 tokens. This change, displayed by Santiment data, suggests that some of these holders are leaving the mid-level group, reducing their combined holdings to around 6.74 billion XRP.  They are not small retail accounts, but they also do not match the scale of the very largest XRP players.  Such movements usually matter because of the amount of supply in control, which can influence short-term trends. Of late, these whales have clearly been reducing their holdings. The XRP price has been trending down while XRP has been levitating close to $3, bouncing between $2.90 and $3.30, without going in a clear direction.  The fact that these wallets are selling could be one of the reasons why the token has struggled to increase in value, even though the general crypto market has had a mix of positive and negative days. Why do XRP whales sell? One possibility is that these holders are simply taking profit after XRP’s climb earlier in the summer.  Another reason is caution: with the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision coming up and money availability across markets looking uncertain, some investors may prefer to derisk their exposure now instead of holding amid price chaos. It is important to know that not all of these tokens have been moved to cold storage.  The number of XRP going into exchanges has gone up, which suggests that some of the 200 million XRP has been sent to trading platforms. This means that some of the selling pressure could be transferred to the open market if those tokens are moved directly there. Source: https://u.today/200000000-xrp-out-in-2-weeks-whats-going-on
