Grayscale Investments Sponsors, LLC has announced the rebranding of the Grayscale

Dogecoin
Trust (DOGE) to Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG), effective November 21, 2025. The trust’s governing documents will be updated to reflect the new name, which is expected to take effect on the same date. Following the rebranding, shares will begin trading under the new ticker symbol GDOG on NYSE Arca on or about November 24, 2025.

The rebranding is part of Grayscale’s broader strategy to align its product offerings with evolving market expectations and investor demand for more clearly defined fund structures. According to the firm, the name change does not alter the underlying asset or investment strategy of the trust. Outstanding stock certificates remain valid, and investors do not need to exchange them.

The announcement follows a week of mixed performance for

DOGE
. On NOV 19 2025, the coin fell by 1.88% in 24 hours to reach $0.15871, marking its weakest point in a month that saw a 14.88% decline from its level at the start of October. Over the past week, however, DOGE has managed to claw back some ground, rising 0.66%. Year-to-date, the coin has lost nearly half of its value, down 49.78%.

Grayscale’s move to rename its Dogecoin trust signals a broader trend among asset managers to reposition digital-asset products for a new regulatory and market environment. The firm has not provided a public explanation for the rebranding beyond the expected launch of the new ticker. No assurance has been given that the GDOG shares will list or begin trading on the stated timeline.

This shift also comes as Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas noted that the SEC’s 20-day review window positions the GDOG listing favorably, though final approval remains contingent on exchange notice. Analysts project that the rebranding will streamline investor understanding of the product and may improve its appeal to institutional buyers.

Grayscale, a long-standing player in the digital-asset space, has not disclosed further strategic implications of the rebranding at this time. The firm continues to maintain its commitment to providing investors with exposure to the digital economy through its portfolio of investment vehicles.
