Meme Coin ETF Frenzy: Will Dogecoin Conquer Wall Street?

by

In a swirl of financial verse, 21Shares has dared to petition the mighty lords of the SEC for a new wonder: a spot Dogecoin ETF. Many scoff at a digital pup with a price near $0.1548 and a market cap orbiting $24.2 billion, but here we are—barking at the moon with the eighth-largest crypto. 🐶🚀

The April 9 filing proclaims Coinbase Custody as the guardian of these precious dog-tokens, though 21Shares offers us no morsels about fees, tickers, or the sacred exchange where this ETF shall roam. The ever-mysterious House of Doge steps in too, pledging to trumpet this hound’s cause with marketing flair. 🤫

Rivals Bitwise and Grayscale have splashed into the same waters, hoping to collar the elusive approval before 21Shares does. But 21Shares marches on with zeal, a traveler expanding beyond old conquests like Bitcoin and Ether. How about Polkadot and XRP? They’re in the queue as well—like eager pups at the dinner bell. 🥁

Bloomberg’s deep-voiced seers James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas hint at a 75% chance our canine champion gets the SEC nod by 2025. Meanwhile, the oracles at Polymarket place the odds at 64%. One wonders if these prophets keep entire kennels of Shiba Inu in their backyards. 🏆

In another act of dog-fueled drama, 21Shares soared into Switzerland’s SIX Swiss Exchange, forging a fully backed Dogecoin ETP under the ticker “DOGE.” The cost to keep this cosmic canine leashed: a 2.5% annual fee. Woof, indeed. 🐾

“Dogecoin,” mused 21Shares president Duncan Moir, “has transcended coinhood. It’s become movement, mania, and magic—and this ETF ushers curious souls into its orbit.” 🤣

Thus, the race among crypto ETFs grows hotter, each one vying for the next official nod, clutching hope like a bone. If the regulators grant Dogecoin its grand blessing, perhaps the laughter and howls will reverberate through Wall Street’s halls forevermore. 🏦😜
