Catenaa, Monday, September 22, 2025- Grayscale filed an amended S-1 registration on Friday seeking to convert its closed-end Dogecoin trust into an exchange-traded fund, marking its latest move to expand crypto investment products in US markets.
The fund, if approved, would trade on NYSE Arca under the ticker GDOG with Coinbase as prime broker and custodian.
The filing came as NYSE Arca also submitted amendments to Grayscale’s Ethereum Trust and its mini version to qualify under new “generic listing standards” approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission last week.
The standards are designed to simplify the process of listing crypto ETFs by reducing paperwork and review periods.
The SEC’s updated rules require that the underlying digital asset have a futures market on a regulated US exchange for at least six months.
Grayscale said Dogecoin already trades in regulated futures and options markets overseen by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, making it eligible under the criteria.
Grayscale argued GDOG should not fall under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or be treated as a commodity pool, avoiding added oversight by the SEC and CFTC.
The amended registration was signed by Chairman Barry Silbert and Chief Financial Officer Edward McGee.
The filing follows the SEC’s recent approval of rival Dogecoin ETFs from Rex and Osprey and the launch of Grayscale’s multi-asset crypto index fund. Industry analysts said the revised listing standards could accelerate approvals of additional crypto ETFs in the months ahead.
