Dogecoin News Today: First US Dogecoin ETF Could Spark Institutional Shift

REX Shares, a financial services company, has signaled its intention to launch the REX-Osprey™ DOGE exchange-traded fund (ETF), which would offer investors direct exposure to Dogecoin (DOGE). This initiative marks a significant development in the institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies, as it aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the digital asset market. The REX-Osprey DOGE ETF, once launched, will be the first U.S.-listed fund to provide direct exposure to the performance of Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency known for its meme-driven origins and growing institutional interest [1].

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the launch of the Dogecoin ETF is likely to occur as early as next week under the '40 Act framework. This structure is similar to the one used for the recently launched SSK, a U.S.-listed ETF that provides exposure to Solana (SOL). Balchunas noted that the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF may serve as the initial product from REX Shares in a broader suite of crypto-themed offerings, potentially including products tied to assets such as Trump, XRP, and Bonk [1].

The ETF Opportunities Trust, under which the REX-Osprey DOGE ETF is being filed, has set September 9, 2025, as the effective date for the fund. The filing is part of a larger initiative that includes the launch of other single-coin funds. The REX-Osprey DOGE ETF is structured within a ’40-Act open-end ETF registration, leveraging the same regulatory framework used for the Solana fund. This approach allows for a streamlined regulatory process and offers a precedent for rapid market acceptance, as demonstrated by the successful launch of the Solana ETF, which quickly attracted over $100 million in assets under management [2].

The potential launch of the Dogecoin ETF is expected to influence the spot market for DOGE. As seen with the Solana ETF, the introduction of such products can lead to increased demand for the underlying asset, thereby affecting its price. The mechanism works through primary-market creations and redemptions, where net inflows into the ETF require the sponsor or authorized participants to source the necessary exposure. In the case of the Solana ETF, the spot price of SOL increased by approximately 34% following the launch, and a similar pattern could be observed for Dogecoin if the ETF attracts sustained interest [2].

Dogecoin has shown signs of a potential rebound in the past month, climbing more than 8% to reach $0.216. This uptick has been attributed to the establishment of a new Dogecoin treasury by CleanCore Solutions, a Nebraska-based manufacturer of aqueous ozone cleaning systems. The firm has become the first public company to hold Dogecoin as its primary treasury reserve and has secured $175 million in funding from over 80 institutional and crypto-native investors. Additionally, technical indicators, such as the TD Sequential indicator, suggest that the selling pressure for Dogecoin may have subsided, potentially setting the stage for a short-term rebound [1].
