- First-ever U.S. Dogecoin ETF to launch Thursday, September 11.
- REX Shares and Osprey Funds lead the initiative.
- Potential market impact anticipated by financial analysts.
The REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF ($DOJE), launching on September 11, 2025, is the first U.S. ETF dedicated solely to Dogecoin, driven by institutional interest and market impact, following the success of previous crypto ETFs like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The launch of REX-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF signifies a pivotal moment for cryptocurrency enthusiasts and investors as it highlights the expanding mainstream acceptance of digital assets like Dogecoin.
REX Shares and Osprey Funds have collaborated to sponsor the REX-Osprey Dogecoin ETF, an investment vehicle allowing exposure to Dogecoin. According to Eric Balchunas at Bloomberg, this represents the first U.S. ETF to hold a purely speculative asset purposefully.
“Meme coin ETF era about to kick off it looks like with $DOJE slated for a Thursday launch, albeit under the 40 Act a la $SSK. There’s a big group of ’33 Act-ers waiting for SEC approval still. Pretty sure this is first-ever US ETF to hold something that has no utility on purpose.” — Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst, Bloomberg
REX Shares is renowned for launching innovative crypto-themed ETFs, whereas Osprey Funds specializes in digital asset investments.
The imminent launch has already caused Dogecoin to increase nearly 17% in value, reflecting rising demand and speculative activity. Financial experts predict similar volatility seen during previous crypto ETF introductions, impacting related cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Institutional players expect heightened trading volumes and liquidity as the ETF integrates into broader distribution networks via Foreside Fund Services LLC. The use of the Investment Company Act of 1940 allows a structure circumventing traditional SEC restrictions, pending broader spot Dogecoin approvals.
Potential outcomes include increased retail participation and volatility reminiscent of the first Bitcoin ETFs observed in 2024. As analysts anticipate strong retail attention and meme-driven market behaviors, REX-Osprey’s Dogecoin ETF symbolizes an evolving trend in cryptocurrency investments. The impact on market dynamics is ongoing, with implications for investors and related digital assets.
