NASDAQ has submitted a regulatory application to list and trade shares in the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF.
According to the filing, the proposed ETF holds Spot Dogecoin, tracks the CF Doge-Dollar US Settlement Price Index, and the Coinbase Custody Trust Company serves as the trust’s cryptocurrency manager.
This application represents another step to expanding cryptocurrency access through ETFs. This allows investors to purchase Dogecoin exposure through existing securities accounts rather than cryptocurrency exchanges.
The filing is due to the Securities and Exchange Commission delaying the decision on several other cryptocurrency ETF applications, including Ethereum staking products and competing Dogecoin Funds.
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyfert said in a post on X, “There was a SEC delay decision on today’s Ethereum staking and Dogcoin ETFs,” adding that the final deadline for most applications is “after October 2025.”
According to Bloomberg’s ETF approval calendar, these delays follow standard SEC practices and continue to evaluate agents by expanding their timeline. Most delayed products face final deadlines for the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

The regulator recently pushed back staking clause decisions in Franklin Templeton’s Spot Solana and XRP ETF, Grayscale Hedera ETF, Bitwise Dogecoin ETF, and Ethereum ETF from Etalin and Fidy Edferity.
DogeCoin Trust will take part in more than 70 Crypto ETF applications submitted for SEC reviews as President Trump instructed the agency to adopt a more crypto-friendly stance after taking office in January.
Despite the continued delays, Jelach is optimistic about the crypto ETF outlook, posting, “I think everything will be approved this year.”
