Dogecoin ETF Race Heats Up: Can It Push DOGE Back to $0.4?
April 11, 2025 :- The meme coin that started as a joke is once again making serious headlines. With a surge of institutional interest and formal filings under way, the race to launch the first Dogecoin-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) is heating up—raising questions about whether DOGE can reclaim its former highs around $0.40.
A New Frontier for Dogecoin
This week, Bitwise Asset Management, one of the most active players in the crypto ETF space, filed for a Dogecoin Spot ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The move signals growing investor demand for easier, regulated exposure to the beloved Shiba Inu-themed coin.
“Dogecoin has evolved beyond its meme status,” said Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan. “With increasing usage for payments, growing community strength, and a market cap consistently ranking in the top 10 cryptocurrencies, we believe DOGE deserves a place in institutional portfolios.”
The filing follows similar initiatives by Grayscale, which recently launched a Dogecoin Trust, further validating the coin’s appeal to investors looking for alternative digital assets outside Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Market Reaction
In anticipation of regulatory approval and increased mainstream attention, Dogecoin saw a modest price surge this week—jumping from $0.16 to a weekly high of $0.22. Speculation is rife that a successful ETF launch could push DOGE to test key resistance levels around $0.30 and, optimistically, the psychologically significant $0.40 mark last seen during the 2021 bull run.
Crypto analyst Michaela Zhang noted, “Dogecoin has always had a strong community backbone, but the prospect of an ETF introduces an entirely new investor class. If approved, we could see DOGE behave less like a meme and more like a serious altcoin.”

The Road Ahead
Of course, the SEC has historically been cautious about approving crypto-related ETFs, particularly those linked to more volatile or community-driven tokens like Dogecoin. Still, recent approvals of spot Bitcoin ETFs—and pending Ethereum applications—could signal a more open regulatory environment.
Until then, investors and DOGE enthusiasts are keeping a close eye on market sentiment, regulatory updates, and Elon Musk’s next tweet—any of which could send the coin soaring.
Can DOGE Hit $0.40 Again?
The answer depends on a mix of regulatory approval, market conditions, and continued retail and institutional enthusiasm. While $0.40 is still a stretch in the short term, the mere possibility of a Dogecoin ETF has reignited bullish sentiment—and that might be just what the Shibes needed.
