Grayscale Investments has launched the first U.S. spot Dogecoin ETF, called Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG), on NYSE Arca on November 24, 2025.

Grayscale Investments has announced the launch of the first U.S. spot Dogecoin ETF on NYSE Arca. This move grants investors direct and regulated access to Dogecoin, marking a significant development in the crypto financial landscape.
The Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) is available to both institutional and retail investors. Alongside new trading opportunities, this initiative signifies cryptocurrency’s growing integration into mainstream financial systems and investor portfolios.
The launch impacted trading patterns immediately, with Dogecoin prices rising 5% and day-one trading volumes on opening day hitting $1.4 million. This volume, although modest for a first-ever spot product, reflects significant market interest and potential growth dynamics.
This development underscores a crucial shift in regulatory acceptance, as the ETF’s registration under the Securities Act of 1933 suggests easing of previously stringent crypto regulations in the U.S., potentially paving the way for future approvals.
Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, described the event as a symbolic showcase of a monumental regulatory shift. The ETF sees significant market participation, indicating potential economic impacts on broader financial markets.
The introduction follows earlier approvals of Bitcoin and ETH ETFs, contributing to a pattern of increased crypto ETFs. This trend could herald substantial technological integration within financial sectors, potentially influencing future regulatory and asset management landscapes.
“Dogecoin has evolved from internet culture to real world utility, and that maturation aligns with our objective to make digital assets more accessible to a greater number of investors.” — Krista Lynch, Senior Vice President, ETF Capital Markets, Grayscale
