Dogecoin (DOGE) has once again proved it’s more than just a meme, storming Wall Street with the launch of the REX-Osprey Doge ETF (DOJE). On Sept. 18, the ETF recorded nearly $6 million in trading during its first hour, destroying expectations and cementing its place as one of the most successful crypto ETF debuts ever.
The strong showing reflected both retail and institutional demand for exposure to DOGE in a regulated wrapper. With Dogecoin price jumping 4.45% to $0.281, the ETF debut confirmed DOGE’s cultural and financial relevance in 2025.
At the same time, retail investors are buzzing about BullZilla ($BZIL), a presale project that has already raised over $530,000, sold 27 billion tokens, and attracted more than 1,700 holders. While Dogecoin makes history on Wall Street, BullZilla is heating up the presale market, showing how institutional legitimacy and grassroots speculation are powering crypto’s dual growth engines.
Dogecoin ETF Redefines Meme Adoption on Wall Street
Unlike Bitcoin ETFs, which launched under the 1933 Securities Act, DOJE was registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Some analysts believed this framework would dampen demand, but the ETF’s record-breaking debut proved otherwise. Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas, who set an informal “over/under” of $2.5 million in volume, called the result a “destroyer of expectations.”
DOGE’s ETF moment highlights how meme coins have matured. Once dismissed as a joke, Dogecoin is now a regulated financial product, listed alongside traditional equities and commodities. The debut validates DOGE’s cultural persistence and its ability to attract serious investor demand.
ETF Pipeline Expands Beyond Dogecoin
The Dogecoin ETF is just the beginning. On launch day, REX Shares filed paperwork for a “DOJE Growth and Income ETF”, signaling ambitions to expand investment options for Dogecoin exposure. In parallel, Tidal Financial partnered with Quantify Chaos to apply for leveraged altcoin ETFs, including products excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum, to focus solely on altcoin cycles.
These filings show how Wall Street is preparing for the next alt season, when smaller tokens, including meme coins, historically outperform. The move reflects not just investor appetite for DOGE, but for an entire asset class once viewed as too speculative for mainstream finance.
