Dogecoin ETF Countdown: Bitwise Filing Puts DOGE Approval Just 20 Days Away

A Dogecoin ETF could become a reality within 20 days after Bitwise Asset Management updated its S1 registration. According to the source, the company removed a delaying amendment under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act.

With that change, the clock begins ticking. Unless the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) steps in, the registration becomes effective automatically.

What the Filing Updates Indicate

Bitwise’s update removes the delaying amendment, so the S1 becomes effective approximately 20 days later. The proposed ETF would hold real DOGE tokens. Coinbase Custody is listed as the custodian for the digital assets, and BNY Mellon will handle cash components. The benchmark is the CF Dogecoin Dollar Settlement Price, and the expected venue is NYSE Arca. The ticker and fee are not yet disclosed.

Why the Dogecoin ETF Matters

A Dogecoin ETF would give more investors access to DOGE who prefer regulated financial products rather than using direct crypto exchanges. It would place DOGE in a familiar investment wrapper, attracting a broader audience.

Live market data shows that Dogecoin is trading around $0.166 with a market cap of about $25.5 billion as of November 7, 2025. Forecasts suggest a price range of $0.18 to $0.20 at the end of 2025 under current conditions.

Regulatory Path and Timing

The key step ahead is the exchange rule change filing (19b4) for NYSE Arca’s listing. If the SEC clears that and does not intervene in the S1 auto-effect process, the Dogecoin ETF could be approved by late November. Should the SEC issue comments or delay the 19b4 approval, it could stretch into December or beyond.

Potential Market Impact

Here’s how the launch of a Dogecoin ETF could influence the market:

Factor	Possible Effect
Accessibility	Easier exposure to DOGE for retail and institutional investors
Liquidity	More capital could flow into DOGE through the ETF structure
Price stability	Potential for steadier flows that reduce wild price swings
Perception	Could signal that DOGE is entering a more mature investment phase

Investors should remember that success depends on the ETF’s structure. The fee, tracking accuracy, liquidity, and how the underlying DOGE is stored and valued will all shape its performance.

Conclusion

The race to bring a Dogecoin ETF to market signals a significant shift for this meme coin. From internet humor to a regulated investment product, DOGE now stands on the verge of another milestone. If the expected launch goes ahead in late November, it could change how DOGE is traded, held, and viewed by both crypto traders and mainstream investors.
