T. Rowe Price launched the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF (TKNZ) last month, which it described as the industry’s first active multi-token spot digital-asset ETF. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) account for about 60% of the fund’s assets. Dogecoin is the only memecoin in the portfolio, with a 1.26% weighting.
