21Shares launches leveraged Dogecoin ETF as FalconX acquisition finalizes
Quick Take The acquisition gives FalconX a major retail-facing arm to complement its institutional trading business. 21Shares’ lineup continues to grow beyond single-asset products, with index ETFs and new leveraged offerings aiming to capture broader demand.
Crypto fund issuer 21shares launched a new, leveraged Dogecoin ETF on Thursday as FalconX's acquisition of the company was finalized.

Among 21Shares' extensive portfolio of crypto investments, it also manages two crypto index ETFs , which give investors exposure to bitcoin, Solana, Ethereum, and Dogecoin.
Although owned and controlled by FalconX, 21shares will remain independently managed and run by CEO Russell Barlow, the companies said.
FalconX is backed by investors like American Express Ventures, Lightspeed Venture Partners, and Tiger Global Management.
