Bitwise Triggers 20-Day Clock for U.S. Spot Dogecoin ETF

The asset manager invoked Section 8(a), a mechanism that allows automatic effectiveness unless the SEC intervenes.

Overview

  • If the SEC takes no action, the filing could become effective around November 26 following Bitwise’s removal of the delaying amendment.
  • The proposed fund would hold DOGE directly with Coinbase Custody, keep cash with BNY Mellon, track the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Settlement Price, and is expected to list on NYSE Arca.
  • Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas highlighted the move on X, and Bloomberg analysts currently see better than 90% odds that multiple DOGE ETFs trade by year-end.
  • REX-Osprey’s DOGE ETF debut in September established a U.S. precedent for spot Dogecoin exchange-traded products.
  • Dogecoin rose roughly 1% after the filing update, while details such as ticker and fees remain undisclosed or inconsistently reported across outlets.
