Dogecoin News Today: SEC delays Dogecoin ETF decision to October 2025 triggering market uncertainty

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on a batch of spot crypto ETF applications, including those for Dogecoin, pushing back final approval dates to October 2025. Among the affected is Grayscale’s proposed Dogecoin ETF, which traders had been anticipating as a potential catalyst for institutional adoption [1]. The move has created uncertainty in the market, with investors left waiting for regulatory clarity that has historically signaled broader acceptance of crypto assets into mainstream finance [2].

Dogecoin (DOGE), which has long been considered a meme coin, is now being evaluated alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum for inclusion in institutional-grade investment vehicles. The price currently hovers near $0.22, struggling to maintain momentum above key resistance levels [1]. Technical indicators suggest a bearish bias, with the price slipping below the 20-day moving average and Heikin Ashi candles showing a series of red prints after a failed attempt to sustain above $0.25 [1].

The delay has triggered short-term selling pressure as traders who had positioned for an ETF approval now unwind bullish bets. Immediate support is seen at $0.216, with a break below this level potentially leading to a retest of $0.19 [1]. A sustained move above $0.25, however, could reignite optimism and open the door to a rally toward $0.30 [1]. Analysts remain cautious, noting that the price could either stabilize or face further downward pressure if the approval process continues to stall [3].

The broader crypto market has seen mixed performance amid the uncertainty. While Bitcoin and Ethereum have drawn substantial inflows, altcoins remain in a regulatory limbo as investors shift toward more established assets [4]. Dogecoin, despite recent weakness, still holds a notable position within the meme coin space and remains a focal point for traders expecting a rebound.

If the SEC approves the Dogecoin ETF in October, it could signal a shift in the agency’s approach to altcoin regulation and mark a significant milestone for the asset’s institutional adoption. Conversely, further delays or rejections may heighten volatility and continue to weigh on sentiment [1]. The outcome of this decision will likely have a ripple effect across the crypto market, influencing not only Dogecoin but also the broader perception of altcoins in institutional investing [2].
