T. Rowe Price Launches TKNZ, First Actively Managed Multi‑Token Crypto ETF

The NYSE Arca listing will test whether the firm's adviser distribution and active allocations can attract sizeable outside institutional and adviser flows to a diversified crypto basket.

Overview

  • The T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF (TKNZ) began trading on July 16, 2026, on NYSE Arca and opened with about $15 million in assets largely seeded by a T. Rowe Price affiliate.
  • TKNZ is an actively managed fund that may hold 5–15 tokens and published opening weights with bitcoin at about 40.75% and ether at about 18.42%.
  • The initial portfolio also includes BNB, Solana, XRP and Hyperliquid, with Hyperliquid starting at roughly 6.45% and further purchases of that token tied to a share‑threshold in the prospectus.
  • T. Rowe Price set a temporary net fee waiver of 0.75% through May 31, 2027, after which the net management fee is scheduled to rise to 0.90%, and the fund uses Anchorage Digital Bank for custody.
  • Market participants view the launch as a short‑term experiment: T. Rowe Price’s distribution reach and adviser placements over the next quarter will determine whether multi‑token active ETFs can win meaningful institutional allocations.
