Nov. 7 — A new regulatory adjustment from Bitwise Asset Management could speed up approval for its proposed spot Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), potentially paving the way for trading to begin by late November.
The update, first noted by Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, shows Bitwise has removed a “delaying amendment” from its S-1 registration with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act, this change means the filing will automatically become effective after 20 days, unless the SEC intervenes to pause or reject it.
If the countdown proceeds without action from regulators, the ETF could go live around November 26.
What the ETF Includes
The proposed Bitwise Spot Dogecoin ETF would hold actual Dogecoin (DOGE), with Coinbase Custody serving as the crypto custodian and BNY Mellon handling cash management. The fund will track the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Settlement Price to mirror DOGE’s spot performance. The ticker symbol and management fee are still pending, but the ETF is expected to list on NYSE Arca.
Broader Context
This move follows growing momentum in crypto-based ETFs, particularly after the debut of the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF in September 2025, which recorded strong inflows. Analysts at Bloomberg Intelligence estimate there’s now a 90% chance that multiple Dogecoin ETFs will be trading before the end of 2025, reflecting the SEC’s increasingly open stance toward single-asset crypto products.
