Nasdaq Intends to List 21Shares Doge ETF Awaiting SEC Approval, Coldware Steps Closer to Launch #NewsETFs

For Dogecoin, 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year, with one of the most notable developments being the potential listing of a Dogecoin ETF. Nasdaq has officially announced its intent to list the 21Shares Doge ETF, a major milestone in the mainstream adoption of Dogecoin. The ETF, which aims to provide investors with exposure to Dogecoin’s price action without directly holding the coin, is currently awaiting SEC approval.

The announcement has created a buzz in the crypto community, as it could mark the first time Dogecoin is included in a regulated, publicly traded investment vehicle. ETFs have become a popular way for institutional investors and retail traders alike to gain exposure to various assets, and a Dogecoin ETF would bring greater legitimacy to the meme coin. Should the SEC approve the listing, Dogecoin would likely experience an influx of investment, adding to its growing market cap and increasing its accessibility for a broader audience.

While this potential ETF approval will undoubtedly attract attention, it also highlights how far Dogecoin has come since its humble beginnings. Once regarded primarily as a joke or meme coin, Dogecoin has evolved into a serious asset for many traders, thanks to its strong community backing, celebrity endorsements (notably from Elon Musk), and growing acceptance among payment platforms. Now, with the prospect of a Nasdaq-listed ETF, Dogecoin is aiming to enter the ranks of established cryptocurrencies, challenging traditional digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of mainstream acceptance.

Despite the recent rally in Dogecoin’s price, there are still questions surrounding its long-term value. It remains to be seen how the SEC will view Dogecoin in the broader context of cryptocurrency regulations and whether it will eventually grant approval for the ETF. That said, the fact that Nasdaq is pursuing this listing is indicative of Dogecoin’s growing importance in the digital asset space.
