Bitwise officially filed an S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday for a spot Dogecoin exchange-traded fund, the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF.
The crypto asset manager on Jan. 22 submitted a registration filing in Delaware for a potential DOGE ETF.
Considered the first memecoin, dogecoin has recently taken on a new life thanks to the establishment of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Donald Trump.
Osprey Funds and Rex Shares have also submitted a proposal for a Dogecoin ETF.
Last week, President Donald Trump signed an executive order to create a working group that will work on developing a federal regulatory framework for digital assets. He also tapped crypto-friendly Paul Atkins to lead the SEC.
The price of doge trades around $0.32 at publication time, according to The Block's DOGE price data. It has a market cap of $47 billion.
