Grayscale Dogecoin ETF launch sees lower volume than analysts projected
Grayscale’s spot dogecoin ETF opened on NYSE Arca with about $1.4m in first-day volume, lagging analyst forecasts and trailing recent crypto ETF launches.
- The ETF started trading on NYSE Arca with roughly $1.4 million in debut volume and about 94,700 shares outstanding.
- Grayscale set a 0.35% management fee but temporarily waived it, resulting in a zero expense ratio until assets hit a threshold or three months pass.
- The fund’s muted launch trails XRP and Solana ETF debuts, as analysts watch fee incentives, dogecoin’s price, and upcoming rival products like Bitwise’s ETF
Grayscale’s spot Dogecoin exchange-traded fund commenced trading on NYSE Arca with modest volume, attracting approximately $1.4 million on its debut, according to market data.
The launch fell short of earlier projections by market analysts. A Bloomberg analyst had forecast significantly higher opening-day volume, though the fund’s actual trading figures did not reach those levels, according to reports.
Grayscale Dogecoin ETF begins trading
Grayscale ‘s regulatory filings indicate the ETF began trading with Dogecoin ( DOGE ) holdings and approximately 94,700 shares outstanding. The fund carries a management fee of 0.35 percent, though the sponsor has waived that charge, resulting in a zero expense ratio until the fund reaches a specified asset threshold or for the first three months, whichever occurs first.
The Dogecoin ETF’s debut volume trailed that of other recently launched cryptocurrency ETFs, according to market tracking data. Exchange-traded funds holding XRP ( XRP ) and Solana ( SOL ) attracted stronger initial inflows during their respective launches, the data showed.
Several factors will determine the fund’s trajectory in coming weeks, according to market observers. These include the impact of the fee waiver on asset gathering, Dogecoin’s price movement as additional products enter the market, and potential flow changes when competing Dogecoin ETFs launch, including a planned product from Bitwise.
Analysts are monitoring creation and redemption activity as well as order book data to assess actual demand for the product, according to industry reports.
Dogecoin’s spot market showed limited price movement following the ETF listing, according to trading data. The fund’s subdued debut occurs during a period of multiple cryptocurrency ETF launches, with additional competing products expected in the near term.
