Bitwise Progresses Towards Dogecoin ETF with Delaware Registration

Bitwise 向特拉華州註冊的狗狗幣 ETF 邁進

Bitwise Asset Management has taken a substantial step towards the potential launch of a Dogecoin ETF by registering "BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF" as a statutory trust in Delaware. This registration signifies the company's intentions to establish an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on the popular meme cryptocurrency, Dogecoin.

Bitwise 資產管理公司在德拉瓦州將「BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF」註冊為法定信託，朝著推出狗狗幣 ETF 邁出了實質一步。此次註冊標誌著該公司打算建立一個基於流行的迷因加密貨幣狗狗幣的交易所交易基金（ETF）。

According to an SEC filing, the registration was completed through CSC Delaware Trust Company in Wilmington. While Bitwise actively pursues the development of the ETF, specific details remain confidential. However, industry observers caution that the Delaware registration is merely an initial administrative step.

根據 SEC 備案，註冊是透過位於威爾明頓的 CSC Delaware Trust Company 完成的。雖然 Bitwise 積極致力於 ETF 的開發，但具體細節仍保密。然而，行業觀察家警告說，特拉華州的註冊只是一個初步的行政步驟。

"This is just a registration for a trust," said Bloomberg Senior Analyst James Seyffart. "Assuming it's real, it's still not an official ETF filing with the SEC."

彭博社高級分析師詹姆斯·塞法特 (James Seyffart) 表示：“這只是信託的註冊。” “假設這是真的，它仍然不是向 SEC 提交的正式 ETF 文件。”

Statutory trusts in Delaware provide legal frameworks for companies like Bitwise to create investment products such as ETFs. These trusts offer tax advantages, governance structures, and the separation of ETF assets from other company activities.

特拉華州的法定信託為 Bitwise 等公司創建 ETF 等投資產品提供了法律框架。這些信託提供稅收優惠、治理結構以及 ETF 資產與其他公司活動的分離。

Despite the registration, Bitwise must still submit a formal application to the SEC before launching any Dogecoin ETF. The asset management firm has a proven track record as a leader in institutional crypto adoption, managing over $12 billion in crypto assets.

儘管已經註冊，Bitwise 在推出任何狗狗幣 ETF 之前仍必須向 SEC 提交正式申請。該資產管理公司作為機構加密貨幣採用領域的領導者擁有良好的記錄，管理超過 120 億美元的加密資產。

Bitwise has previously expressed interest in expanding its ETF offerings beyond major cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. The company has also filed for a Solana ETF.

Bitwise 先前曾表示有興趣將其 ETF 產品擴展到比特幣和以太幣等主要加密貨幣之外。該公司還申請了 Solana ETF。

The Delaware registration aligns with observations of similar preparatory moves preceding previous crypto ETF applications. Asset managers often establish business entities in advance of formal SEC filings.

特拉華州的註冊與先前加密 ETF 申請之前類似準備行動的觀察結果一致。資產管理公司通常會在正式向美國證券交易委員會提交文件之前建立業務實體。

The development also coincides with the growing institutional interest in regulated crypto products. Multiple asset managers have recently applied for various crypto ETFs. Notably, VanEck filed for an "onchain economy" ETF in January, while the SEC approved "protected" Bitcoin ETFs for trading this week.

這一發展也與機構對受監管的加密產品日益增長的興趣相吻合。多家資產管理公司最近申請了各種加密貨幣ETF。值得注意的是，VanEck 在 1 月申請了「鏈上經濟」ETF，而美國證券交易委員會本週批准了「受保護」的比特幣 ETF 進行交易。
