Dogecoin [DOGE] is on the verge of making history with the potential launch of its first-ever ETF. But unlike typical crypto ETFs, REX Shares is taking an unconventional route that may speed up regulatory approval and influence DOGE’s price momentum. The launch, possibly just a week away, has traders and investors eagerly watching for signs of fresh market activity.
REX Shares’ Unusual Approach: The 40 Act Advantage
REX Shares is preparing to list the Dogecoin ETF under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the 40 Act) – a regulatory framework typically reserved for traditional bond and stock ETFs. According to Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas, REX’s filing includes an effective prospectus that signals a smoother regulatory path compared to the standard S-1 filing.

This approach carries built-in investor protections and is notable for bypassing the prolonged delays that usually accompany crypto ETF approvals. Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, described it as “a regulatory end-around,” highlighting REX’s growing trend of unconventional launches, including its Solana staking ETF and even Trump-themed token ETFs.

Market Implications: Will DOGE Price React?
Currently trading around $0.214, Dogecoin has shown muted momentum. Technical indicators suggest a neutral setup, with the RSI near 47 and the On-Balance Volume (OBV) remaining flat. Without a catalyst, DOGE may continue consolidating between $0.21 and $0.22.

However, if the ETF launch generates excitement, it could trigger a short-term breakout toward $0.23. Investors should remain cautious, as the REX prospectus emphasizes that Dogecoin remains highly volatile and unpredictable, meaning price swings could still dominate the days following the launch.
A Milestone for Crypto ETFs
The first Dogecoin ETF represents a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency market, blending regulatory innovation with high-profile investor interest. While price movements remain uncertain, the ETF’s unique 40 Act pathway could set a precedent for future crypto fund launches, offering a faster, more secure option for investors seeking exposure to digital assets.
