REX Osprey Files For 21 Crypto ETFs

October 3, 2025 — REX Shares and Osprey Funds have filed prospectuses for 21 new REX-Osprey crypto ETFs, covering assets from Cardano (ADA), Chainlink (LINK), Hedera (HBAR), and Sui (SUI) to Hyperliquid (HYPE) and Bitcoin Cash (BCH). The batch underscores a rapid shift in the U.S. ETF landscape after streamlined SEC listing standards, positioning REX-Osprey crypto ETFs to capitalize on accelerating timelines and rising institutional demand. Analysts say the wave could reshape access to altcoins if approvals land before year-end.

Expanding Altcoin Exposure (REX-Osprey Crypto ETFs)

The new REX-Osprey crypto ETFs broaden regulated access well beyond BTC and ETH. Proposed funds include single-asset spot exposure (e.g., an HBAR ETF focusing on Hedera’s enterprise ledger) and SUI for high-throughput DeFi. Several filings reference staking mechanics—letting funds participate in network validation to enhance yield—an angle that could differentiate REX-Osprey crypto ETFs from plain-vanilla trackers and attract income-oriented mandates.

Regulatory Tailwinds—and a Few Hurdles

Updated exchange listing rules for commodity-based trusts (effective September) mean many launches may bypass lengthy 19b-4 reviews, potentially trimming approvals to ~75 days. That tailwind helps REX-Osprey compete with a crowded October docket (Solana, XRP, Litecoin, Dogecoin). One caveat: a recent U.S. government shutdown risk could slow staff processing, pushing some crypto ETFs into a later window. Even so, several analysts peg approval odds near 90% for top-tier assets under the new framework.
