The Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (ticker: GDOG) gives investors exchange-traded access to Dogecoin (DOGE) through a spot vehicle listed on NYSE Arca. The fund is solely and passively invested in DOGE, with the objective of tracking the value of the underlying Dogecoin held in the trust, minus fees and other expenses.
GDOG converts Grayscale’s existing private Dogecoin trust into a publicly traded ETF, making it the first pure spot Dogecoin ETP available in the U.S. and deepening Wall Street’s exposure to one of crypto’s most recognizable memecoins.
The ETF comes with an introductory 0% management fee, which is waived for the first three months of trading or until the fund reaches $1 billion in assets, after which the total expense ratio steps up to 0.35%. GDOG’s DOGE holdings are custodied with Coinbase Custody Trust Company, with BNY serving as fund administrator and CoinDesk Indices providing the underlying DOGE price index.
As Dogecoin transitions from internet in-joke to mainstream asset, GDOG offers traditional investors a way to gain exposure through standard brokerage and retirement accounts—while still carrying the volatility and risk profile that comes with a single-asset memecoin ETF.
