REX Shares, a financial services company known for its innovative approach to ETFs, recently submitted filings for ETFs tied to a few cryptocurrencies, including Dogecoin. These filings mark a pivotal moment for Dogecoin amidst the current excitement in the crypto market, with the positive sentiment now at a multi-year high.
New ETF Filings Take The Market By Storm
The crypto industry has been filled with excitement in the past few days leading to and after the inauguration of new US president Donald Trump. This excitement has brought alongside it an intense volatility to the price action of many cryptocurrencies.

Amidst this intense volatility, asset management firms REX Advisers and Osprey Funds have jointly submitted filings to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking approval to launch seven new cryptocurrency ETFs. These ETFs are designed to provide exposure to a range of digital assets, including established tokens like Solana and Ripple’s XRP, as well as meme coins such as Dogecoin and even the recently launched TRUMP coin.
ETFs are currently the rave in the crypto industry due to the success of the Spot Bitcoin ETFs that were launched in the US early last year. Their widespread success marked a turning point for institutional investment in crypto. Following their success, Spot Ethereum ETFs also entered the market, paving the way for discussions about spot ETFs for other digital assets, mostly XRP and Solana.
Interestingly, the new ETF filings by REX could be seen as an effort to capitalize on the growing interest in diverse crypto assets and to test the SEC’s evolving stance under its new crypto-friendly leadership. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas highlighted the growing interest in this space, noting that the number of crypto ETF filings with the US SEC has now reached 33, essentially doubling since Gary Gensler stepped down as the regulator’s chairman last Friday.
What Does A Dogecoin ETF Mean For Dogecoin?
Specifically, the nature of the filings means that these proposed could hit the market very quickly in the next 75 days. Dogecoin, for one, is projected to benefit the most from an ETF hitting the market. This is because recent crypto market dynamics have caused Dogecoin to become the go-to cryptocurrency for retail investors since Bitcoin is increasingly becoming the choice for institutional investors.

Historically, Dogecoin has shown its ability to rally sharply on the back of positive trends, such as Elon Musk’s tweets and listings on major exchanges. If the Dogecoin ETF gains approval, it could attract substantial inflows from new investors. This, along with the community support for Dogecoin, could pave the way for a significant price surge above $1. Crypto analysts are already predicting that Dogecoin will break the $1 mark this cycle, noting various technical indicators and patterns to back this prediction.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.364, up by 5.1% in the past 24 hours. Reaching $1 from the current level would represent a 175% price increase.
