The asset management firm Grayscale has filed with the U.S. SEC for a Dogecoin ETF, highlighting the growing interest in this memecoin.
Filing for the Dogecoin ETF
Grayscale submitted an S-1 form for the launch of a Dogecoin ETF under the ticker GDOG on NYSE Arca. This filing confirms the renaming of the company's current trust to the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF, an important step towards integrating Dogecoin into the regulated ETF market.
SEC's Stance on Crypto ETFs

Market Impact and Competition
Following the filing news, Dogecoin spiked by over 2%. Meanwhile, other companies like 21 Shares and Bitwise have also registered applications for Dogecoin ETFs, indicating rising interest from both institutional and retail investors.
The filing for the Grayscale Dogecoin ETF marks a new phase for the memecoin, demonstrating its advancement towards recognition in regulated financial markets. Investors are eagerly anticipating the potential approval of a Dogecoin ETF in the near future.
