Bitwise Registers Entity for Potential $DOGE ETF in Delaware on January 22, 2025

Jan 22, 2025, 10:57 PM

Bitwise Asset Management has taken a step toward potentially launching a Dogecoin ETF by registering a legal entity named 'BITWISE DOGECOIN ETF' in Delaware. This move, confirmed by sources familiar with the matter, indicates Bitwise's interest in expanding its ETF offerings to include the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin ($DOGE). The registration, which occurred on January 22, 2025, through CSC Delaware Trust Company in Wilmington, is seen as a preparatory step rather than an official ETF filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Bitwise, managing over $12 billion in crypto assets, has previously filed for ETFs related to other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, signaling a broader strategy to offer institutional crypto investment products.
