## Bitwise DOGE Spot ETF: November Listing on the Horizon? Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas has indicated a potential November listing for the Bitwise Dogecoin (DOGE) spot ETF. According to Balchunas, Bitwise is utilizing the 8(a) procedure for listing, which bypasses the standard SEC approval process. ## Understanding the 8(a) Procedure The 8(a) procedure involves removing the 'delay clause' from the ETF application (S-1). This allows the listing to take effect automatically after 20 days, unless the SEC intervenes with a separate delay. This non-standard approach suggests Bitwise is confident in its application and the market's readiness for a DOGE spot ETF. ## Implications for Dogecoin and the Crypto Market If successful, the Bitwise DOGE spot ETF could provide increased accessibility for investors looking to gain exposure to Dogecoin. This could lead to greater liquidity and potentially drive demand for the meme-coin. The listing would also signal a growing acceptance of cryptocurrencies by traditional financial institutions. ```
