First US Dogecoin ETF Set to Launch Next Week
The first US exchange-traded fund (ETF) for Dogecoin (DOGE), the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF (ticker: DOJE), may launch as soon as next week. The ETF Opportunities Trust filed a post-effective amendment designating September 9, 2025, as the effective date for several single-coin funds, including DOJE.
Key Points on Dogecoin ETF Launch
- REX Shares announced the upcoming launch of the DOJE ETF.
- The fund aims to provide exposure to Dogecoin's performance.
- DOJE is structured under a ’40-Act open-end ETF registration, allowing for a quicker launch compared to typical commodity ETPs.
- The prospectus details an investment objective to track Dogecoin's performance and notes potential use of derivatives.
- Precedent set by REX-Osprey's Solana fund (SSK) which quickly gained assets after its July launch.
- September 9 effectiveness designation is essential for determining a trading date.
- Additional single-coin funds are also referenced in the filing, indicating future expansion beyond DOGE.
Potential Impact on Dogecoin Price
ETFs can influence spot markets through primary-market activities. Historical data shows that following the SSK launch, Solana’s price increased significantly. A similar scenario could occur with DOGE if DOJE lists and attracts investor interest, potentially tightening the available float of DOGE. Currently, DOGE trades at $0.216.
