21Shares launches leveraged Dogecoin ETF as FalconX acquisition finalizes

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.
