- Dogecoin ETF filing sparks talk of fast track entry, retail mania could follow.
- Analyst projects possible Dogecoin rally toward $1.40 as bullish pattern fuels investor optimism.
A Dogecoin exchange-traded fund is expected to enter U.S. markets next week, raising speculation of a retail trading boom. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said REX Shares has filed an effective prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
“Looks like Rex is going to launch a Doge ETF via the 40 Act a la $SSK next week,” Balchunas posted on Thursday. REX previously used the same regulatory structure to release a Solana staking fund earlier this year. The route avoids several delays that face spot crypto ETFs.
ETF Store President Nate Geraci has described this alternative pathway as a “regulatory end-around.” The method could allow Dogecoin to hit trading floors faster than traditional filings waiting for clearance. However, REX warned in its submission that Dogecoin is “subject to unique and substantial risks,” citing sharp price swings.

Analyst Predicts 550% Upside for Dogecoin
Dogecoin has gained 118% over the last one year. The coin touched $0.4672 in December 2024 but has tempered since to currently trade at $0.216. Chart indicators reflect a bullish megaphone trend, with a bounce at $0.15 in June is signaling more upside.
“Dogecoin is currently offering us a massive opportunity on the weekly time frame,” analyst Bitcoinsensus said in a post on X, adding that each ally in this pattern has historically surpassed the previous one.
The analyst projected that,
This next wave could potentially lead to prices as high as $1.40.
Such a rise would translate into a 550% surge from current levels, indicating positive sentiment among market analysts for further upward move.
Wider Institutional Interest in Dogecoin
The interest in Dogecoin isn’t solely limited to REX. 21Shares, Bitwise, and Grayscale have also filed for Dogecoin ETFs, albeit still waiting on SEC approval. REX has also submitted an ETF for the TRUMP token, utilizing an offshore entity to have exposure.
Cultural support has made it possible for Dogecoin to sustain its survival. It has been frequently cited by Elon Musk, prominently calling it “a hustle” during his 2021 Saturday Night Live show appearance. More recently, CNF reported that his lawyer Alex Spiro linked to a $200 million public company built on the investment of Dogecoin.
In addition, CleanCore Solutions, a Nebraska-based company that makes aqueous ozone cleaning systems, adopted Dogecoin as its main treasury reserve currency. The firm raised $175 million from over 80 institutional and cryptocurrency investors.
The Dogecoin ETF, if launched as anticipated, may spur greater retail interest. The event, for many investors, is something greater than a product, as the coin has progressed from an internet joke to a very popular asset that has cultural and speculative value.
