Bloomberg Analyst Forecasts 2026 Dogecoin ETF Approval

Despite Polymarket predicting a Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF approval before year-end 2025, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas presents a more cautious outlook. He believes an actively managed memecoin ETF could become a reality by 2026 but not immediately, citing the unique volatility and performance variation across different memecoins. He highlights the potential for fund managers to gain exposure without holding specific coins themselves using alternative regulatory frameworks like the 1940 or 1933 Act. This approach would allow them flexibility within established legal parameters.
