Bitwise Closes Dogecoin ETF Amid Product Optimization Efforts
Bitwise Investment Advisers announced on September 10 that it will liquidate and close its Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (NYSE: BWOW) due to an effort to 'optimize its product range to meet evolving investor needs.' The San Francisco-based sponsor stated that the closure takes effect immediately, and shareholders have until mid-October to sell their shares before the fund stops operating.
The last day of trading for BWOW on NYSE Arca is expected to be October 14, 2026. Shareholders can sell their shares in the secondary market up to the close of trading that day, after which the fund will cease operations.
Bitwise has coordinated with the NYSE to ensure an orderly delisting and liquidation of the fund, a process that runs from the announcement through the final cash distribution in late October. The firm noted that shareholders do not need to take any action during the process.
