Grayscale Investments has reported to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) its plan to put forward the first spot Dogecoin ETF to the U.S. market. This marks a major step in institutional acceptance of Dogecoin, one of the most well-known meme-based cryptos. On August 15, 2025, Grayscale put out an S-1 for the Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF. If approved, it will trade under the ticker GDOG on NYSE Arca.

The trust is structured as a passive investment vehicle that will hold Dogecoin as its sole asset. This structure gives investors direct access without the issue of having to secure DOGE for themselves. Coinbase Custody Trust Company will be the custodian. They will see issuance and repurchase in large “Baskets” of 10,000 shares, which will trade in cash. The ETF’s value will follow the CoinDesk Dogecoin Reference Rate. However, it will differ from leveraged products in that it will function purely as a passive fund. Notably, the introduction of a spot Dogecoin ETF offers investors ease of access.

This report notes that Grayscale has put itself head to head with what is a growing field of asset managers. These managers also have SEC approved plans for Dogecoin ETFs, which include Bitwise, 21Shares, and REX-Osprey. Also of note is the timing of this move, which comes a day after the SEC delayed decisions on many crypto ETFs, including spot Dogecoin options.

Market Response And Institutional Adoption Potential

Following the report, Dogecoin saw a 2.5% rise in price. Within 24 hours, it increased from $0.22395 to $0.22976. While there was an increase in 2025, Dogecoin’s price is still very much range bound between $0.15 and $0.25. This is way below its 2021 peak of $0.72. At present, the market cap is at $34 – 35 billion.

Industry reports are that the SEC’s review will extend into late 2025 or early 2026. This review may lead to decision making between October and January. Polymarket prediction platforms are currently reporting a 63% chance of approval by the end of 2025. If approved, this could see large-scale institutional investment. Bitcoin ETFs have brought in over $40 billion since going live. Dogecoin ETFs may only see a fraction of that capital, which is put in the range of $12 to $20 billion. However, that in itself could greatly change Dogecoin’s marketplace. It could attract spot Dogecoin ETF interest from new investors.

Grayscale has run over $33 billion in crypto products for some time. This includes Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. Their filing is a sign that they are confident in the transition of meme coins like Doge into the mainstream via regulated financial products. Despite issues such as volatility and regulation, which still exist, the launch of the spot Dogecoin ETF may be a turning point in access to the greater crypto space.
