Asset manager 21Shares has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to offer a Dogecoin ETF. This development comes just as the Dogecoin price rebounds following a wave of sell-offs which saw it drop to as low as $0.14.
21Shares Files For Dogecoin ETF With US SEC
21Shares has filed the S-1 form for its Dogecoin ETF with the US SEC. The asset manager becomes the third to file for a DOGE ETF, joining Grayscale and Bitwise. The next step is for the asset manager, through an exchange, to file the 19b-4 form for this fund, which will officially kickstart the process towards a potential approval from the Commission.
Interestingly, this filing comes on the same day 21Shares launched its Dogecoin ETP on the SIX Swiss Exchange through its partnership with the House of Doge. These two will collaborate again if the SEC approves this ETF, as the asset manager revealed in the prospectus that the House of Doge, the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, will help in marketing the fund.
Meanwhile, the top crypto exchange, Coinbase, will be the Trust’s custodian. The ETF will hold Dogecoin and provide institutional investors an avenue to gain exposure to the top meme coin.
