Dogecoin ETF Launch Imminent - Here’s The Expected Timeline
Meme coin revolution hits Wall Street as regulatory approval looms
The Wait Is Almost Over
After years of speculation and regulatory hurdles, the first-ever Dogecoin exchange-traded fund appears ready for prime time. Industry insiders confirm the final paperwork is circulating through regulatory channels faster than a Shiba Inu chasing a tennis ball.
Timeline Takedown
Multiple sources indicate the SEC could greenlight the DOGE ETF within weeks rather than months. The approval process has accelerated dramatically since Bitcoin ETFs shattered trading volume records earlier this year. Wall Street finally understands what crypto natives knew all along - retail demand for meme assets isn't just a joke.
Market Impact
Traditional finance veterans are scrambling to understand the implications while crypto traders watch institutional money prepare to flood into what was once dismissed as a joke cryptocurrency. The ETF structure gives risk-averse investors exposure without the technical complexities of direct ownership - though purists argue it defeats the entire decentralized ethos.
As one fund manager quipped: 'We'll make serious money from the doge, but we'll still pretend we're too sophisticated for memes at cocktail parties.' The ultimate Wall Street move - profiting from what you publicly mock.
Grayscale Positions Its Dogecoin ETF For A Close Launch
The clearest signal came after Grayscale updated its dogecoin ETF filing, which started a 20-day countdown under the SEC’s new fast-track listing rules. These rules allow certain crypto ETFs to go live without the lengthy and restrictive approval process that previous products faced.
Unless the SEC steps in with an objection, the end of this 20-day window will become the launch date of the proposed ETF. Based on the timing of Grayscale’s amendment, the first Spot Dogecoin ETF could debut as early as Monday, November 24.
Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, provided the clearest timeline so far. He stated: “Based on 20 20-day clock, I believe Grayscale will be out with the first Doge ETF in a week, 11/24.”
His comment follows the expectation that the first Dogecoin ETF could go live before the end of November. Balchunas also shared the S-1 document image to show the structure of the filing that initiated the countdown.
Solana ETF Approval Shows The New SEC Pathway Is Working
The Optimism surrounding Dogecoin’s ETF launch grows stronger when looking at what happened with Solana. VanEck successfully launched its Solana ETF this week with staking rewards and temporarily waived fees to attract early inflows. Fidelity also stepped into the arena with its own Solana ETF, FSOL, which recorded $2.07 million in inflows on its first trading day.
That product went live under the same SEC listing framework now guiding Dogecoin’s filing. Its smooth debut confirmed that the new process is functioning as intended, with issuers able to bring crypto ETFs to market far more quickly than in earlier cycles. This sets a meaningful precedent because Dogecoin is next in line to benefit from that same pathway.
Although Grayscale is expected to launch first, it may not remain the only DOGE ETF for long. Bitwise submitted an amendment to its own DOGE fund earlier in November, which activated a similar 20-day timeline. If the schedule holds, Bitwise’s Spot Dogecoin ETF could list the following week.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1586, up by 2% in the past 24 hours.
