- Should you buy Dogecoin before Thursday’s ETF launch?

The REX-Osprey DOGE ETF launches Thursday as the US’s first fund dedicated to Dogecoin, the memecoin created in 2013 as satire that now commands a staggering $57 billion market value. Trading under the ticker DOJE, it marks a somewhat surreal milestone: institutional products for assets that proudly serve no purpose. And funds are charging up to six times more than for most Bitcoin ETFs, suggesting investors are willing to pay a hefty premium for a self-described parody cryptocurrency. “Pretty sure this is the first-ever US ETF to hold something that has...

Further bolstering sentiment, U.S. lawmakers are reportedly advancing the Responsible Financial Innovation Act of 2025 to clarify oversight and cooperation...
