Bitwise Registers Entity for Potential Dogecoin ETF

The filing marks an initial step toward a Dogecoin-backed ETF, though SEC approval remains uncertain.

Overview

  • Bitwise Asset Management has registered a Delaware statutory trust for a potential Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
  • The filing is a preparatory move and not an official ETF proposal to the SEC, which would be required for the product to launch.
  • If approved, a Dogecoin ETF could attract institutional investors and potentially increase demand for the memecoin.
  • Dogecoin, the largest memecoin with a $52 billion market cap, has seen increased attention tied to Elon Musk's initiatives, including the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E).
  • Prediction markets have shown fluctuating odds for a Dogecoin ETF approval in 2025, reflecting growing interest in regulated crypto investment products.
