Dogecoin ETF Launch
The Rex-Osprey Doge ETF (DOJE) is scheduled for launch in the US this Thursday, a development highlighted by Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas. He stated that 'this is the first-ever US ETF to hold something that has no utility or purpose.'
Surge in Memecoin Popularity
This launch follows the success of Bitcoin and Ether ETFs, which were approved last year. Dogecoin, initially created as a joke in 2013, has also gained traction with a significant following.

Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart noted that there are currently 92 proposals for crypto funds under review, including products tied to Solana and XRP, indicating a growing interest in crypto investments.
