Bitwise Progresses Towards Dogecoin ETF with Delaware Registration

Bitwise 向特拉华州注册的狗狗币 ETF 迈进

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 资产管理公司在特拉华州将“BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF”注册为法定信托，朝着推出狗狗币 ETF 迈出了实质性一步。此次注册标志着该公司打算建立一个基于流行的模因加密货币狗狗币的交易所交易基金（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.

根据 SEC 备案，注册是通过位于威尔明顿的 CSC Delaware Trust Company 完成的。虽然 Bitwise 积极致力于 ETF 的开发，但具体细节仍然保密。然而，行业观察家警告说，特拉华州的注册只是一个初步的行政步骤。

"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."

彭博社高级分析师詹姆斯·塞法特 (James Seyffart) 表示：“这只是信托的注册。” “假设这是真的，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.

特拉华州的法定信托为 Bitwise 等公司创建 ETF 等投资产品提供了法律框架。这些信托提供税收优惠、治理结构以及 ETF 资产与其他公司活动的分离。

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.

尽管已经注册，Bitwise 在推出任何狗狗币 ETF 之前仍必须向 SEC 提交正式申请。该资产管理公司作为机构加密货币采用领域的领导者拥有良好的记录，管理着超过 120 亿美元的加密资产。

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 此前曾表示有兴趣将其 ETF 产品扩展到比特币和以太坊等主要加密货币之外。该公司还申请了 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.

特拉华州的注册与之前加密 ETF 申请之前类似准备行动的观察结果一致。资产管理公司通常会在正式向美国证券交易委员会提交文件之前建立业务实体。

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.

这一发展也与机构对受监管的加密产品日益增长的兴趣相吻合。多家资产管理公司最近申请了各种加密货币ETF。值得注意的是，VanEck 在 1 月份申请了“链上经济”ETF，而美国证券交易委员会本周批准了“受保护”的比特币 ETF 进行交易。
