The quest for Dogecoin ETF is growing with NYSE filing a new fund to track the price of DOGE as asset managers are now pushing for more crypto exposure
Bitwise Asset Management has filed a 19b-4 form with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to start a Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This makes Bitwise the latest company to join the growing market for cryptocurrency ETFs. The filing was also made with NYSE Arca, part of the New York Stock Exchange.

This step is important for bringing traditional investment options into digital currencies. Meanwhile, Bitwise plans to track Dogecoin’s price changes using the CF Dogecoin-Dollar Settlement Price as a benchmark.
Notably, this filing comes as the SEC examines several cryptocurrency-based ETFs. While several Bitcoin ETFs received approval in early January, 2024, a Dogecoin ETF would be another significant step in mainstreaming digital assets.
If approved, the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF could provide a unique chance for people to diversify their investments with one of the most popular and volatile cryptocurrencies today.
Recall that Seyffart and Balchunas have seen a 75% chance of Dogecoin ETFs getting approved. They revealed that its massive rise in popularity, partly thanks to Elon Musk, has turned it into one of the most valuable cryptocurrencies.
Bitwise’s Expansion and Achievements
The filing for Dogecoin ETF is just the latest in a series of bold moves by Bitwise in 2025. Earlier in 2024, the company launched separate Ethereum and spot Bitcoin ETFs. These digital investment products have accumulated $4.2 billion in assets.
In addition, Bitwise expanded its footprint by acquiring European crypto asset manager ETC Group and Attestant, an institutional staking provider, further solidifying its position as a leading crypto investment firm.Â
It is worth noting that Bitwise’s diversified approach has proven successful with several recent developments. The firm has filed for an XRP ETF and launched a staking service for the Ethereum Layer-2 blockchain Starknet. Similarly, Bitwise is working to uplist its crypto index fund to become an exchange-traded product (ETP).Â
The firm has also filed a 19b-4 for a spot Solana ETP. These moves are part of Bitwise’s expanding suite of investment products.
Intriguingly, Bitwise’s portfolio of products spans more than 30 offerings in the U.S. and Europe. This includes ETPs, index funds, alpha strategies, SMA strategies, and staking solutions.
Since 2017, the firm has partnered with thousands of financial institutions and investment professionals, helping them access and understand the cryptocurrency world.
