Dogecoin ETF Drama: SEC’s Delayed Decision! 🐕📜

by

Oh, the audacity of this digital asset management firm, Grayscale! They’ve filed an S-1 form with the SEC, as if the market were a grand theater where all the actors must perform their parts. If approved, this ETF will grace the NYSE Arca, a stage where even the most absurd of plays find their audience. The ticker symbol? GDOG-what a noble title for a dog! 🐶💰

Grayscale Files for Dogecoin ETF 

Grayscale proposes an ETF that would hold Dogecoin, allowing investors to play at being crypto moguls without the bother of actually owning the coins. A noble endeavor, indeed! This is the first step in a dance with the SEC, where public companies waltz through the labyrinth of approvals. 🕺

This ETF would simplify the process for traditional investors, who, let’s be honest, are as confused by crypto as a fish in a desert. The SEC filing? A mere script, with Coinbase Custody Trust Company as the trusted custodian. A plot twist, if you will. 🎭

The shares will be issued in “Baskets,” each holding 10,000 shares. Initially, cash transactions will suffice, sparing investors the trouble of handling actual Dogecoin. What a relief! 🙏

When Will the SEC Approve?

Grayscale applied for the Dogecoin ETF in March and again on August 15, 2025. The SEC, ever the dramatic director, acknowledged the application and delayed its decision, keeping it under review like a mystery novel with no ending. Now, this latest filing is a declaration of intent, as if the SEC were a reluctant suitor. 💔

Other companies like Bitwise, Rex Shares, Osprey, and 21Shares await the SEC’s verdict, all hoping to join the ETF spectacle. The expected decision? Between October 2025 and January 2026-a period longer than a Shakespearean tragedy. 🎭

What is the Market Reaction

DOGE’s price has surged, as if the market were a child given a sugar rush. A 2.5% to 6% jump, peaking at $0.2314, and a market cap of $34 billion. What a farce! The SEC’s delays have turned Dogecoin into a comedy of errors, with investors cheering like it’s the finale of a circus. 🎪
