Bitwise Asset Management has amended its S-1 filings for both the Dogecoin and Aptos ETFs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These documents represent the next step in the company's efforts to launch crypto-backed ETFs.
Amended S-1 Forms for ETFs
Bitwise Asset Management has filed amended S-1 forms for the Dogecoin ETF and Aptos ETF. These ETFs will allow investors to gain exposure to [DO](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2053791/000121390025058120/ea0246815-s1a1_bitwise.htm) and [APT](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/2059135/000121390025058124/ea0246816-s1a1_bitwise.htm) without needing to hold the tokens. Both ETFs are organized as Delaware trusts and will be managed by Bitwise Investment Advisers, LLC.
SEC Review Delays
On June 12, the SEC revealed delays in their review of the Dogecoin ETF filing. This ETF is backed by Coinbase Custody and was initially filed on March 3, 2025. The SEC has chosen to extend the review duration, stating that it requires additional time to assess market risks and investor protections.
First U.S. Aptos ETF
The Aptos ETF stands out as it will be the first U.S.-based ETF focused on APT. Bitwise quietly registered the Delaware trust for the Aptos ETF on February 25, 2025, setting the stage for this filing.
By advancing its initiatives for ETF creation, Bitwise Asset Management continues to work on increasing the accessibility of cryptocurrency assets for investors through regulated financial instruments.
