21Shares has submitted filings to launch a Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) in the U.S., marking a bold step forward. This move signaled the start of a new chapter for the popular meme coin as it entered traditional financial markets.
As the regulatory momentum is shifting, Dogecoin could gain legitimacy. Moreover, it could reach a broader base of institutional investors through this DOGE ETF.
Dogecoin ETF Gains Regulatory Momentum
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has accepted both the S-1 and 19b-4 forms submitted by 21Shares to list a spot Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Fund. A spot Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Fund needs these official records for approval in the country.
This DOGE ETF fund’s subscribers can indirectly invest in the meme coin at the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Settlement Price.
This development provides investors an opportunity to access Dogecoin without worrying about digital wallet management and private key administration. This product’s regulated structure is going to enable investors to gain access to DOGE through safe, legal measures.
Once the ETF gets approval, investors can gain confidence and increase their participation in this marketplace.
When writing, 21Shares is the third company to file for a Dogecoin ETF after Grayscale and Bitwise. The SEC starts its official assessment by accepting submissions 19b-4, which specify proposed regulations.
The assessment process for cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) extends into an unknown timeframe. Market participants also expect growing support for these products.
Coinbase Chosen as Dogecoin Fund Custodian
21Shares Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) was launched simultaneously with the U.S. Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) application on the SIX Swiss Exchange. As a result of collaboration with the House of Doge, the new ETP received support from the Dogecoin Foundation. After that, its development was also finalized.
The ETP is the initial cryptocurrency product to be directly associated with the foundation behind its creation.21Shares achieved global market expansion for Dogecoin by obtaining a listing on the Swiss Exchange for their ETP product.
The listing has secured regulatory status through Swiss regulation, allowing European investors to access this product.
Coinbase has been designated as the hedge fund custodian responsible for both the ETP and the proposed U.S. ETF. It will likely enhance institutional investor confidence.
The security of the exchange platform and higher investor trust result from having major U.S. exchange custody of assets. 21Shares and the House of DOGE are planning promotional work together once the U.S. ETF gets approved.
Dogecoin Shows Bullish Trend, Says Analyst
The cryptocurrency expert Kevin Capital identified positive trends within Dogecoin’s token price charts. A technical resurgence occurred when Dogecoin recovered from its previous position at $0.14. The analyst anticipates these positive market patterns will boost Dogecoin price within the next short period.
The crypto market expanded after political changes. Investors responded optimistically when Former President Trump declared a 90-day temporary delay for tariff implementations.
Dogecoin, Bitcoin, and Ethereum price surges totaled more than ten percent. This market-wide bullishness elevated Dogecoin beyond 12%. Solana also witnessed a 14% gain in value.
Kevin Capital reported that cryptocurrency had increased upward before the tariff announcement. The DOGE crypto received additional market strength from the approval process of the DOGE ETF.
Dogecoin ETF Approval Odds Increased Significantly
The SEC’s leadership shift may be key in future ETF approvals, including the one for Dogecoin. Paul Atkins has been confirmed as SEC Chair, with Senate approval secured in a 52-44 vote. Atkins is widely viewed as a cryptocurrency innovation and financial technology supporter.
Under previous leadership, the SEC delayed decisions on several ETF proposals for coins like Litecoin, Solana, and XRP. Those delays created uncertainty around the approval timeline for crypto ETFs.
However, Atkins’ confirmation may accelerate the review process and increase the chances for approval. Bloomberg analysts estimate that there is a 75% chance that the DOGE ETF will be approved within the year.
That’s a notable increase in confidence in comparison to earlier forecasts under more cautious leadership.
Companies are consistently submitting crypto ETF applications. It signals their belief in regulatory progress. 21Shares has not limited its ETF ambitions to Dogecoin alone, expanding its reach into other digital assets.
Earlier this year, the firm filed for spot ETFs focused on Polkadot (DOT) and XRP. These filings align with broader applications as firms test the SEC’s regulatory stance.
James Seyffart, a Bloomberg analyst, described the recent flood of applications as a strategic move by ETF issuers. With new leadership, companies see an opportunity to introduce diverse crypto products. They are racing to be first to market if regulatory conditions become more favorable.
