Bitwise to Axe Dogecoin ETF Amid Cryptocurrency Market Woes
Bitwise, a prominent cryptocurrency asset management firm, has announced plans to liquidate its Dogecoin ETF, effective October 14. The decision marks the end of an era for the popular cryptocurrency-based exchange-traded fund (ETF).
The move comes as no surprise, given the struggles faced by the cryptocurrency market in recent months. Despite its popularity, the Dogecoin ETF has failed to gain traction, and Bitwise has likely deemed it uneconomical to continue supporting it.
Investors who hold shares of the Dogecoin ETF will need to sell their positions before October 14 or face liquidation. The exact process for redemption is still unclear, but Bitwise is expected to provide further guidance in the coming days.
