The House of Doge, in a stunning act of corporate synergy, has partnered with Brag House Holdings to launch a new spot Dogecoin ETF, proving that even a cryptocurrency born from a meme can outshine Wall Street’s most serious ventures. The product, issued by 21Shares, began trading on NASDAQ under the ticker TDOG after receiving regulatory clearance from the SEC, making it the first U.S.-approved spot Dogecoin ETF. Because nothing says “trust me” like a 1:1 backing from institutional-grade custody, apparently.
Dogecoin Opens Institutional Access
The Dogecoin Foundation, a nonprofit that has supported Dogecoin’s open-source development and global community since 2014, has finally embraced the modern world by endorsing the ETF. This is the first time the organization, which has spent years nurturing a coin that started as a joke, has given its stamp of approval to something that doesn’t involve a dog wearing a hat. Retail and institutional investors now have a “smooth way” to access Dogecoin without needing crypto wallets or exchanges-because who needs complexity when you can just buy a share?
The 21Shares Dogecoin ETF gives investors a simple and secure way to gain exposure to DOGE, with each share fully backed by Dogecoin held in institutional-grade custody on a 1:1 basis. It’s like a trust fund for a cryptocurrency that was once just a joke, but now has its own ticker symbol and a seat at the table. Or at least a spot on NASDAQ.
The foundation, a nonprofit that has supported Dogecoin’s open-source development and global community since 2014, endorsed the ETF issued by 21Shares. While other spot DOGE ETFs have launched before, this is the first to receive official backing from the organization behind the token. Because nothing says “we’re serious” like a nonprofit that’s been around since the Stone Age of the internet.
It is also the first spot Dogecoin ETF to receive direct approval from the SEC. The earlier Dogecoin ETFs from Grayscale and Bitwise launched in November after the U.S. government shutdown and became available through an automatic process, rather than a formal sign-off from regulators. The SEC, which has been notoriously slow to approve crypto products, finally gave the green light, perhaps because they realized Dogecoin was too absurd to be a security.
Earlier this month, the SEC cleared the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, a move that effectively marked the agency’s first clear position that Dogecoin is not classified as a security. Or, as some might say, the first time the SEC admitted it has no idea what it’s doing with cryptocurrencies.
