Bitwise Dogecoin ETF Approval to Trigger 10,000% Surge

• Bitwise has filed for a Spot Dogecoin ETF, joining Rex Shares and Osprey in seeking SEC approval.
• Elon Musk’s association with DOGE and regulatory shifts may help fast-track the ETF’s approval.
• Dogecoin’s price could surge to $0.50-$1.50 if the ETF receives approval and sees sustained investment.

The world’s largest crypto index fund manager, Bitwise, has officially filed for a Spot Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF. The filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) signals growing institutional interest in the meme coin.

Bitwise joins Rex Shares and Osprey as the latest applicants for a DOGE ETF. The filing states that shares will be created and redeemed in blocks of 10,000, with each share reflecting DOGE’s value. This structure follows the blueprint of previous crypto ETFs, adding credibility to the application.

DOGE enthusiasts have long awaited an ETF approval. Its massive popularity and strong community support make it a prime candidate. If the SEC grants approval, DOGE could see a meteoric rise, much like Bitcoin did after its ETF debut.

Dogecoin’s Musk Factor and Market Sentiment

Elon Musk’s influence on Dogecoin remains strong. His leadership in the Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) has fueled speculation, especially after his remark about taking “DOGE to Mars.” The phrase, though ambiguous, has helped drive renewed interest in the token.

Bitwise currently manages seven crypto-focused ETFs, valued at $2.82 billion. The firm’s move to introduce a DOGE ETF reflects a broader trend of institutional adoption. Unlike previous crypto ETF filings, the current regulatory climate is more favorable. A new U.S. administration is expected to be more crypto-friendly, reducing the hurdles for approval.

Dogecoin’s price recently dropped over 15% in a week. However, the ETF filing could spark a turnaround. Historically, Bitcoin saw a massive price surge following its ETF approval. If Dogecoin follows the same path, the price could jump to $0.50 initially, with long-term projections suggesting a climb to $1.50 if sustained inflows continue.

ETF expert Eric Balchunas summed up the sentiment, stating, “Today’s satire is tomorrow’s ETF.” If the SEC gives the green light, Dogecoin may finally break free from its meme status and establish itself as a legitimate asset class.
