Dogecoin Scores First U.S. ETF Launch Thursday Amid Bitwise Setback

Dogecoin

The first U.S. Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), ticker DOJE, is scheduled to launch this week, a move that comes even as the SEC delays decisions on other crypto ETF applications.

Issued by REX Shares and Osprey Funds, the fund will provide exposure to the memecoin through a Cayman Islands-based subsidiary, utilizing the Investment Company Act of 1940 to navigate a different regulatory path than other crypto ETF proposals.

The launch is notable because the SEC simultaneously postponed a decision on a separate Dogecoin ETF from Bitwise, along with a spot Hedera ETF from Grayscale.

According to an analyst, the DOJE fund is the first U.S. ETF to intentionally hold an asset with no utility. The move highlights the evolving regulatory landscape under SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, with nearly 100 spot crypto ETF filings still awaiting a decision.

Dogecoin is on the brink of a significant price move, with key technical indicators converging. This consolidation, marked by converging moving averages, suggests that a period of high volatility is imminent. While the direction is uncertain and could lead to either a sharp rally or a breakdown, the meme coin remains a high-risk, high-reward asset.
