21Shares updates Dogecoin ETF filing, confirming ticker TDOG as SEC delays approval amid U.S. government shutdown.
21Shares has amended its S-1 filing with the U.S. SEC to confirm key details for its spot Dogecoin ETF, set to trade on Nasdaq.
The updated filing includes the confirmed ticker symbol TDOG and outlines additional details related to the listing process. This move comes as the SEC’s decision on the Dogecoin ETF remains delayed due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown.
21Shares Submits Amended S-1 Filing for Dogecoin ETF Approval
In a recent filing with the U.S. SEC, 21Shares amended its application for the Dogecoin ETF. The amended S-1 filing confirms the ticker symbol TDOG for the exchange-traded fund. It will track the performance of Dogecoin (DOGE) through the CF Dogecoin-Dollar US Settlement Price Index.

While the SEC filing did not disclose the management fee for the ETF, it did reveal other key details. The sponsor fee will accrue daily and be payable in DOGE bi-weekly.
The custodian for the ETF will be Coinbase Custody Trust Company, with Wilmington Trust NA serving as the trustee. Foreside Global Services will manage the marketing of the ETF, and Cohen & Company will handle accounting. The ETF will also use $1.5 million to purchase DOGE ahead of its listing on Nasdaq.
SEC Misses Final Deadline for DOGE ETF Approval
The SEC had missed the final deadline for approving the Grayscale Dogecoin ETF, originally set for October 18. This delay, caused by the U.S. government shutdown, has affected multiple crypto ETF filings.
However, experts believe that once the shutdown concludes, the SEC will approve the outstanding ETF applications, including Dogecoin ETFs.
Nate Geraci and Eric Balchunas, both well-known ETF experts, have raised the chances of Dogecoin ETF approvals to 99% due to the updated filings. The expectation is that the SEC will approve all pending crypto ETF listings, including the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF, once the government shutdown is resolved.
Market Sentiment Boosted by Dogecoin ETF Developments
Investor sentiment around the Dogecoin ETF has been fueled by recent developments. The rise in DOGE’s price by more than 6% in the past 24 hours reflects growing optimism. As of the latest market data, DOGE is trading at around $0.20.
Analyst Ali Martinez noted a bounce off the channel support, with a potential price target of $0.29 before higher targets of $0.45 and $0.86.

This positive sentiment was further boosted by the upcoming roundtable meeting of key executives from Ripple, Coinbase, Kraken, and other companies with pro-crypto Democrats. These discussions are expected to speed up the approval process for crypto ETFs, adding to investor confidence in the market.
