- T. Rowe Price has filed an amended crypto ETF that would enable the company to invest in 5-15 assets, including Shiba Inu, Dogecoin and Solana.
- The proposed ETF would use Anchorage as custodian, start with cash creations and redemptions, and may add staking later.
T. Rowe Price is expanding its proposed crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) strategy to include a wider range of digital assets, including the leading memecoins, Dogecoin and Shiba Inu. The update came through an amended S-1 registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16. The firm first submitted the filing for the Price Active Crypto ETF in October 2025.
The revised filing shows that the fund would not focus only on Bitcoin and Ethereum. Instead, it would allow portfolio managers to allocate capital across roughly 5 to 15 digital assets based on market conditions. Along with Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, the filing names Solana, XRP, and SUI among the tokens that may enter the portfolio.

This structure sets the proposed fund apart from spot crypto ETFs that track a single asset. T. Rowe Price plans to run the product as an actively managed fund, giving managers room to rotate between assets as prices and market trends change. The strategy will capture opportunities across different parts of the crypto market.
The updated filing aligns with a growing appetite for crypto products on Wall Street. Since the SEC’s approval of the Generic Listing Standards last year, the number of crypto products offered by traditional finance has skyrocketed.
Late last year, CNF reported that T. Rowe Price filed with the SEC to launch its first crypto ETF, with Shiba Inu among the eligible assets in a basket of 5 to 15 tokens. The filing placed SHIB alongside Dogecoin, Solana, Cardano, and XRP as institutional interest in crypto ETF products continued to expand.
T. Rowe Price Outlines Custody, Staking, and Redemption Structure
T. Rowe Price plans to use Anchorage Digital Bank as custodian for the fund’s digital assets. The filing presents custody as a core part of the fund’s structure, with a focus on regulated storage arrangements. The product will also begin with a cash-based creation and redemption model, which means investors would enter or exit through cash instead of direct crypto transfers.
The filing leaves room for future changes. The asset manager noted that the fund may allow in-kind creations and redemptions later if regulations permit that structure. Also, the possibility of staking will enable the fund to earn additional income from blockchain network participation once regulators and tax authorities provide clearer guidance.
Competition in the sector has increased as issuers adjust fees and broaden their product offerings. Firms such as Morgan Stanley have updated filings seeking to expand digital asset access, including an S-1 for a BTC Trust in January that would be backed by direct BTC holdings, as we reported.
