First U.S. Dogecoin ETF Eyes Next Week After Filing Sets Sept. 9 Effectiveness

The sponsor is taking the faster 40 Act route to deliver concentrated DOGE exposure.

Overview

  • ETF Opportunities Trust filed a post‑effective amendment naming Sept. 9, 2025 as the effective date for the REX‑Osprey DOGE ETF (ticker: DOJE).
  • REX Shares has teased the fund as “coming soon,” and Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas said a launch next week looks likely, though an exchange still must post a trading date.
  • DOJE is a ’40 Act open‑end fund targeting at least 80% exposure to Dogecoin via direct holdings and derivatives, using a Cayman subsidiary subject to a 25% cap for tax treatment.
  • The approach differs from traditional spot DOGE ETPs from Bitwise, 21Shares and Grayscale, which remain under SEC review through the S‑1/19b‑4 process.
  • If listed, DOJE would be the first U.S. ETF offering regulated DOGE exposure, with potential spot‑market effects from ETF creations and redemptions alongside well‑flagged volatility risks.
