ChainCatcher reported, citing filings from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, that the SEC has approved the rule change application for the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF to list and trade on NYSE Arca. The approval concerns the exchange rule change needed for the actively managed crypto ETF’s trading on NYSE Arca.
NYSE Arca’s application cleared after two amendments
According to the filing, NYSE Arca first submitted the rule change application in November 2025. The application went through two amendments before receiving final approval. The approved request is specifically tied to the listing and trading framework for the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF on NYSE Arca.
The ETF’s investment objective is to seek long-term capital appreciation. Under normal circumstances, the fund will hold between 5 and 15 crypto assets. As an actively managed product, its eligible asset universe is based on the assets identified by the sponsor in the application materials.
Fifteen eligible crypto assets listed in the filing
As of the date when the application was submitted, the sponsor identified the following eligible assets: Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), XRP, Cardano (ADA), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Dogecoin (DOGE), Hedera (HBAR), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Shiba Inu (SHIB), and Sui (SUI). These assets form the eligible crypto asset set described in the filing.
The filing also states that the fund is permitted to hold USDC as operating cash. USDC can be used to pay expenses and purchase assets, but it is not treated as an investment asset. Under the stated structure, the fund’s investment exposure is centered on the eligible crypto assets, while USDC serves an operational role.
