Today, the SEC accepted Bitwise’s application to review the DOGE ETF. Following the approval of the Ethereum ETF, hopes for alternative coins receiving approval have increased. The excitement has intensified with Trump’s administration bringing in crypto-friendly individuals to oversee the SEC.

Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF

Bitwise and others have submitted ETF applications as a result of the recent interest in meme coins. Although the potential demand for ETFs may weaken with the fading excitement in the meme coin space, it could still be intriguing in the long term. DOGE remains the largest and oldest meme coin, attracting a significant number of investors.

The Bitwise DOGE ETF application submitted to the SEC by NYSE Arca has been accepted for review.

ETF Details

The custody service will again be provided by Coinbase Custody, indicating that this could accelerate Coinbase’s ETF-supported growth. Bank of New York Mellon will act as the custodian for cash assets. Like other spot ETFs, it will hold cryptocurrency directly, with the ETF’s price performance tracking the altcoin‘s spot price.

The SEC may approve the application within 45 days or utilize its 90-day postponement option for a decision.

Each ETF filing discusses associated risks. What are the risks for DOGE?

• Dogecoin is volatile compared to other cryptocurrencies, a point mentioned in the application.
• It is sensitive to market sentiment, social media influences, and speculative trading.
• Dogecoin’s price can experience significant fluctuations in a short time, posing major risks for investors.
• Its market size is smaller than that of Bitcoin or Ethereum, increasing the risk of manipulation.
• It is more vulnerable to manipulative actions like pump and dump schemes.
• Although Coinbase Custody will hold Dogecoin assets, losses can occur due to cyberattacks, theft, or technical malfunctions.
• There is no insurance or recovery guarantee for lost or stolen Dogecoins.
• The daily trading volume of Dogecoin can be volatile, and liquidity may not always be stable.

While this ETF provides a regulated investment avenue for those looking to invest in Dogecoin, Bitwise has documented potential scenarios regarding inherent risks like high volatility, regulatory challenges, and technical issues.
