Grayscale has taken a significant step toward launching a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). NYSE Arca has formally submitted a request to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a rule change that would allow the listing of the ETF.

This follows Grayscale’s announcement of its Dogecoin Trust, signaling its growing focus on expanding crypto ETF offerings.

Dogecoin ETF: What Investors Should Know

If approved, the Dogecoin ETF will provide investors with exposure to DOGE without requiring direct ownership of the cryptocurrency. Coinbase Custody Trust will handle asset custody, while BNY Mellon will manage administration.

The SEC has 45 days to review the application, though the process could be extended up to 90 days.

Growing Interest in Dogecoin ETFs

Grayscale’s move comes amid increasing competition in the Dogecoin ETF space. Bitwise has also applied for a DOGE-based fund, highlighting the rising institutional interest in the world’s most valuable meme coin.

Meanwhile, Grayscale continues to expand its ETF portfolio, having recently filed to convert its XRP Trust into an ETF and exploring similar options for Litecoin and Solana. The firm’s previous legal victory against the SEC paved the way for spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, boosting optimism for future approvals.

Regulatory Outlook

Analysts believe Dogecoin and Litecoin ETFs may face fewer regulatory hurdles than Solana and XRP, as they have not been classified as securities by the SEC.

With momentum building in the crypto ETF space, all eyes are now on the SEC’s decision in the coming months.
