The 21Shares Dogecoin ETP is fully backed by physical assets, providing a transparent and effective method for investors to access Dogecoin via conventional financial channels. Launched in 2013 as a playful alternative to Bitcoin, Dogecoin has evolved into one of the most well-known and accessible cryptocurrencies, praised for its fast transactions, low fees, and growing adoption by merchants. Today, major corporations like Microsoft and AMC Theatres accept Dogecoin as a form of payment, further solidifying its presence in mainstream finance.
In addition to its technical benefits, Dogecoin boasts a vibrant and socially impactful community, rallying around the motto of “Do Only Good Everyday.” Supporters have initiated various campaigns, including charitable drives and initiatives aimed at increasing financial access, showcasing the influence of decentralized communities in the evolution of the digital finance landscape.
“This exclusive partnership enables us to offer investors the most direct and accessible means of engaging with the Dogecoin ecosystem,” remarked Duncan Moir, President at 21Shares. “Dogecoin has transcended its status as merely a cryptocurrency; it embodies a cultural and financial movement driving greater mainstream adoption, and DOGE provides investors with a regulated pathway to participate in this thrilling project.”
“This partnership represents a significant stride in actualizing the Dogecoin vision,” stated Jens Wiechers, Advisory Board Member at House of Doge and Co-Executive Director of the Dogecoin Foundation. “Originally created as a fun and accessible peer-to-peer currency, Dogecoin has shown genuine usefulness in payments, tipping, and charitable contributions. To fully realize its potential as a global currency, institutional backing and corporate collaborations are crucial. This engagement with 21Shares creates a regulated channel for organizations to join and enhance the ‘Dogecoin is Money’ vision while still honoring the spirit of the community. Expanding global adoption is vital, and we are eager to advance this initiative – ensuring Dogecoin remains enjoyable while gaining the necessary credibility and support for sustainable growth.”
With over $7.3 billion in assets under management and listings across 11 prominent exchanges, including the SIX Swiss Exchange, Nasdaq, and Euronext, 21Shares plays a pivotal role in merging digital assets with traditional finance.
