according to the American ETF provider REX SharesREXShare, the first batch of American ETFs providing XRP and DOGE spot exposure, issued in collaboration with Osprey Funds, will be listed on CBOE on September 18, providing investors with a way to invest in these digital assets through an ETF structure. It is worth noting that the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF and XRP ETF are not typical spot ETFs, as they do not directly hold all DOGE and XRP tokens, but also hold other assets such as cash, US Treasury bonds, and even other ETFs. The approval process for such products is completely different, as they do not require explicit approval from the US SEC and automatically take effect 75 days after application. According to the documents submitted to the SEC by REX-Osprey, these two ETFs will invest at least 80% of their net assets in reference assets and other assets providing exposure to reference assets, with at least 40% of assets directly invested in other ETFs and ETP shares, including non-US ETPs.

Lido strategic consultant Hasu replied to user X's post "Lending DEX like AAVE and Fluid have enough advantages to issue stable coins" by saying that the idea that stable coins are more profitable than the lending market is one of the biggest misunderstandings in DeFi. Both the lending market and stable coins involve borrowing money from A and then lending it to B, earning the interest difference in the process. Stable coins do have hidden benefits such as global transferability, but these benefits are limited to stable coins with deep global liquidity and network acceptance, such as USDT and USDC. Everyone else is competing for the same scarce pool of funds and increasingly needs to pay interest to lenders. For new stable coins entering the market, there are actually only two advantages - superior distribution (allowing you to borrow at a lower amount) and superior ALM (allowing you to lend at a higher amount). Which one do AAVE and Fluid have?
