Dogecoin ETFs Exist — But Barely Matter Dogecoin once seemed like the inevitable frontier for crypto ETFs. Wintermute, a leading crypto market maker, had included a Dogecoin ETF prediction in its outlook, though it later admitted the forecast was meant as a joke. That joke is now reality. Four U.S.-listed Dogecoin ETFs are currently active. Yet their performance tells a different story. Dogecoin ranks 17th among all crypto ETFs tracked by CoinShares. Year-to-date inflows stand at just $13 million, a fraction of what Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs pull in. James Butterfill, head of research at CoinShares, put it plainly. Building a credible investment case around Dogecoin is "very hard" for institutional investors, he said. The coin is better suited for retail audiences, not asset managers with fiduciary obligations.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin trades at around $0.09250, up 0.91% in the last 24 hours.
