Bitwise, a leading manager of cryptocurrency index funds, has officially filed to create a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) in Delaware. This announcement was made by Matt Hougan, the company's Chief Investment Officer, who confirmed the application's origin. The filing was submitted to the Delaware Division of Corporations, marking a significant milestone in the crypto market.

Growing Interest in Dogecoin ETFs

Launched as a humorous venture in 2013 by creators Markus and Jackson Palmer, Dogecoin has recently gained considerable traction. The surge in interest was notably prompted when the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency, established during Donald Trump's presidency, displayed the Dogecoin logo on its official platform.

Are New Crypto ETFs on the Way?

With Dogecoin's increasing popularity and market capitalization, industry experts were surprised by the absence of a Dogecoin ETF application until now. Nate Gercai from ETF Store noted that the endeavor could either be a marketing tool or a potentially successful financial product if it receives backing from the SEC and influential figures like Elon Musk.

Experts anticipate significant implications from this development:

• The launch may attract more mainstream investors to cryptocurrency.
• It may pave the way for other meme coins to become formal financial products.
• Regulatory approval could enhance overall market confidence.

As of now, Dogecoin's market price stands slightly above $0.35, experiencing a 4.44% decline within the last 24 hours, while its market cap hovers around $54 billion. The landscape for crypto ETFs appears to be evolving rapidly, with Bitwise's initiative setting a precedent for future financial products in the digital currency realm.
