21Shares launches leveraged Dogecoin ETF as FalconX acquisition finalizes

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.
