T. Rowe Price Amends Crypto ETF Filing with SEC

T. Rowe Price, a major asset management firm overseeing $1.8 trillion in assets, filed an amended registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 16, 2026, expanding details for its proposed Price Active Crypto ETF. The update outlines an actively managed fund that would invest in up to 15 cryptocurrencies, providing investors with diversified exposure to digital assets through a traditional exchange-traded product.

The ETF, first proposed in an initial filing in October 2025, aims to hold between five and 15 eligible cryptocurrencies at any time, selected and rebalanced by portfolio managers using quantitative models that consider fundamentals, valuation, and market momentum. The filing lists Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, Litecoin, Polkadot, Dogecoin, Hedera, Bitcoin Cash, Chainlink, Stellar, Shiba Inu, and Sui as potential holdings. This approach differs from passive funds that track a single asset like Bitcoin, allowing managers flexibility to shift allocations based on market conditions to outperform the FTSE Crypto U.S. Listed Index.
