- SEC delayed Bitwise Dogecoin ETF decision until November, but Rex-Osprey’s DOGE ETF could launch Thursday.
- A DOGE ETF could unlock institutional inflows, mirroring Bitcoin and Ethereum’s ETF-driven rallies.
- Dogecoin is already up double digits weekly, boosted by ETF anticipation and likely Fed rate cuts.
The SEC just dropped fresh news that’s keeping Dogecoin investors on edge. The regulator has officially pushed back its decision on the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF and Grayscale’s Hedera ETF until November 12, 2025. Bitwise first filed for approval back in January and even amended its application in June to include in-kind creation and redemption features. Still, the wait drags on.
But here’s the twist: while one DOGE ETF stalls, another could be just days away.
Rex-Osprey Dogecoin ETF Set to Make History?
Bloomberg’s ETF expert Eric Balchunas revealed that Rex-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF, ticker DOJE, is on track to launch Thursday. If it goes live, this would mark the first-ever U.S. ETF holding a token created without “utility” on purpose. Love it or hate it, Dogecoin’s identity as the original memecoin may finally break into the institutional arena.
A spot DOGE ETF would mean something huge—fresh institutional inflows. That’s exactly what pushed Bitcoin and Ethereum to new all-time highs. If history repeats, Dogecoin could be next in line for a record-breaking rally.
DOGE Price Action: Investors Already Betting Big
The ETF buzz has already stirred up confidence. Dogecoin is flashing green across nearly every chart. CoinGecko data shows it’s up 1.5% daily, 11.5% weekly, and 8.8% over the last 14 days. Even over the past month—when the market cooled—DOGE managed to stay slightly positive at +0.2%.
And the timing couldn’t be better. The Federal Reserve is widely expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points this September. Rate cuts usually spark risk-on rallies across crypto, and if an ETF approval lands on top of that, DOGE could easily accelerate higher.
The Big Question: Will DOGE Finally Explode?
If a spot Dogecoin ETF takes off, it could trigger the same wave of institutional money that changed the game for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Whether that translates into DOGE smashing through its old highs depends on how much confidence—and capital—this launch really brings. For now, traders are watching Thursday’s debut like hawks.
