Bitwise Files for Spot Dogecoin ETF, Potentially Launching First U.S. Doge-Focused ETF

Bitwise has taken a significant step towards launching a spot Dogecoin ETF in the U.S., filing an 8(a) form under SEC regulations. This strategic move will automatically authorize the ETF to begin trading within 20 days if the SEC doesn’t intervene, according to Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst, Eric Balchunas. With this action, Bitwise aims to expedite the process and gauge institutional interest in Dogecoin.
