Grayscale’s DOGE ETF launch marks the first U.S. Dogecoin spot ETF but opened with weaker-than-projected activity compared to recent altcoin ETF debuts.
Dogecoin’s price rise accompanied the November 24 launch of Grayscale’s DOGE ETF (GDOG) on the NYSE, the first U.S. Dogecoin spot ETF. Day-one trading posted $1.41 million in volume, $1.71 million in net assets, and no net inflows, falling short of projections and trailing activity levels seen in recent altcoin ETF launches. The fund charges a 0.19% management fee, supports only cash creation/redemption, and offers regulated exposure to Dogecoin for retail and institutional investors.
