Billy Markus, one of the creators of Dogecoin known as "Shibetoshi Nakamoto," has shared his thoughts on the increasing speculation regarding the SEC's potential approval of a Dogecoin ETF. This discussion has emerged amidst significant developments in the crypto market, including the introduction of the Bitcoin ETF and the pending decision on the Ethereum ETF. As a result, crypto enthusiasts have begun to speculate about which cryptocurrency might be next in line for a similar solution.

Despite Dogecoin's origins as a meme cryptocurrency, it has maintained its relevance for over a decade, with numerous large and small companies worldwide adopting DOGE as a payment method.

Market participants' enthusiasm is driven by the fact that Dogecoin is not classified as a security, making it a viable candidate for an ETF. Earlier this year, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) approved Coinbase Derivatives futures on Dogecoin, indicating some regulatory approval.

This approval is perceived as a pivotal moment that could facilitate traditional financial institutions' formal engagement with DOGE.

Is a Dogecoin ETF a Concern?

Dogecoin currently ranks as the eighth largest cryptocurrency, with a market capitalization of $24.25 billion and a daily trading volume of $2.86 billion. The cryptocurrency trades at $0.168, significantly below its all-time high of $0.74, which it reached in May 2021. DOGE to USD by CoinMarketCap

While the prospect of a Dogecoin ETF presents potential benefits such as increased institutional participation and market credibility, it also raises concerns about the growing influence of traditional financial institutions on the crypto market.
