T. Rowe Price has launched an actively managed multi-token crypto ETF, adding one of the largest traditional asset managers to the growing list of firms offering packaged crypto exposure. The fund is structured to hold more than a single token and to be managed actively rather than track a fixed index.
What to know about T. Rowe Price’s new crypto ETF
The product is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to multiple crypto tokens rather than a single asset. Reporting on the launch identified the fund by the ticker TKNZ, set to trade on NYSE Arca, according to Crypto Briefing.

The listing followed a regulatory approval process at the exchange level. NYSE Arca’s proposed rule change tied to the product was granted approval in an order published in the Federal Register. The fund’s terms were laid out in an amended S-1 registration statement filed with the SEC.
How an actively managed multi-token strategy stands apart
Most crypto ETFs on the market are passive, tracking the spot price of a single asset such as bitcoin. An actively managed fund instead gives portfolio managers discretion to select and adjust holdings, so the fund’s composition can change over time rather than mirror a fixed benchmark.

The multi-token framing is the other differentiator. Rather than concentrating in one coin, the fund spreads exposure across several tokens, a diversification approach that is unusual among the single-asset spot products that dominated the first wave of U.S. crypto ETFs.

T. Rowe Price has publicly framed digital assets as moving toward wider acceptance, writing that crypto is edging into the mainstream. The fund sits within the firm’s broader ETF lineup.
Why this ETF launch matters for the broader crypto market
The launch ties an established asset-management brand to a crypto product, a signal of continuing institutional interest in packaged digital-asset exposure. It also arrives alongside earlier regulatory milestones, including T. Rowe Price’s SEC approval for an active crypto ETF including XRP.
For investors, an ETF wrapper offers access to multiple tokens through a single brokerage-traded security, without directly holding the underlying assets. That structure lowers the operational barriers that come with self-custody and multiple exchange accounts.
The timing coincides with a shifting policy backdrop, as the SEC has added crypto rulemaking to its agenda. Whether the actively managed, multi-token format draws sustained investor demand will depend on flows and performance that are not yet established, so the launch is best read as market context rather than proof of success.
