Dogecoin ETF Decision Delayed To November: What’s Really Happening Behind the Scenes?

Regulators hit pause on the meme coin's Wall Street debut—again.

The Waiting Game Continues

Another delay, another round of speculation. The SEC just kicked the Dogecoin ETF can down the road to November, leaving crypto enthusiasts and institutional players scratching their heads. No new data emerged—just more bureaucratic limbo that's becoming all too familiar in crypto regulation.

Market Impact

Traders shrugged off the news initially, but the underlying message stings: traditional finance still can't figure out what to do with digital assets that started as jokes but now command billions in market cap. The delay suggests regulators remain uneasy about approving vehicles that would give mainstream investors exposure to such volatile assets.

What November Really Means

Mark your calendars—but don't hold your breath. The November deadline represents another checkpoint in what's becoming a marathon approval process. Each delay fuels more speculation about whether DOGE will ever get the ETF green light, or if this is regulatory purgatory for an asset some still consider unserious.

Because nothing says 'financial innovation' like making investors wait months to see if they can bet on a meme through their retirement accounts.

A spot DOGE ETF may lead to a surge in institutional inflows for the memecoin. Such a development could lead to DOGE’s price hitting a new all-time high. Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) have hit new peaks thanks to large institutional inflows. A similar pattern may emerge for Dogecoin (DOGE) as well.

DOGE’s Price Movements

The ETF news may have led to a spike in investor confidence. Dogecoin seems to be trading in the green zone across the board today. According to CoinGecko data, the memecoin is up 1.5% in the daily charts, 11.5% in the weekly charts, 8.8% in the 14-day charts, and 0.2% over the previous month.

Dogecoin’s rally could be due to the ETF news, or it may be triggered by the anticipation of an interest rate cut this month. The Federal Reserve is more than likely to cut interest rates by 25 basis points after its September meeting. A rate cut will likely lead the crypto market to experience another bullish phase. An ETF approval will further boost DOGE’s price.
