T. Rowe Price, a global asset manager, said it will keep Dogecoin in its newly launched active crypto exchange‑traded fund despite criticism.

Global impact / market context
Including a meme coin shows that mainstream managers are willing to back volatile, community‑driven assets, which could encourage other funds to add similar tokens and broaden crypto exposure for investors.
