Bitwise Asset Management has updated its regulatory filing for its spot Dogecoin ETF, clearing the way for a launch before the end of November.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas stated that Bitwise removed a “delaying amendment” from its S-1 registration.
This adjustment activates a 20-day automatic approval period under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act. Consequently, the ETF may take effect without explicit approval from the SEC unless the agency elects to intervene.
Earliest Possible Launch: Late November
If the SEC does not halt the process, Bitwise’s Dogecoin ETF will become effective around November 26, 2025. Although this route is unusual, it remains a legally permissible strategy.
Balchunas described the approach as a way of “letting the clock run,” reflecting Bitwise’s confidence that the SEC is unlikely to act against the filing within the 20-day window.
ETF Structure and Custody Details
The proposed ETF will directly hold Dogecoin (DOGE) as its underlying asset. Coinbase Custody will serve as the crypto custodian, while BNY Mellon will manage the ETF’s cash holdings.
The fund will track the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Settlement Price, offering investors exposure to DOGE’s spot market performance. The ticker symbol and management fee have not been disclosed so far. However, the ETF will list on NYSE Arca, a major exchange for crypto funds.
Rising Interest in Dogecoin-Based Products
Bitwise’s progress follows the launch of the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF in September 2025. Bloomberg analysts currently estimate a 90% or higher likelihood that multiple Dogecoin ETFs could begin trading by the end of this year.
They cite the SEC’s increasing openness toward digital asset funds and recent approvals of single-asset crypto products as supporting factors.
Market Impact and Current DOGE Performance
Despite the promising ETF developments, the Dogecoin price has weakened in recent days. The token has fallen 11% over the past week, currently trading at $0.1658 after a modest daily dip.
Market observers note that regulatory progress is positive for long-term adoption. Nonetheless, near-term price trends continue to reflect broader volatility in the crypto sector.
