How does SEC approval impact the Dogecoin ETF timeline?

SEC Section 8(a) allows a registration statement to become automatically effective 20 days after filing, unless the SEC intervenes.

Grayscale’s filing triggered this clock in early November, potentially enabling a launch as soon as Nov 24, 2025.

The process includes a 240-day Federal Register public comment period, during which the SEC may request amendments or issue stop orders if investor protection concerns arise.

Dogecoin’s classification as a commodity (not a security) increases the likelihood of smooth approval compared to cryptos with disputed legal status.

SEC approval is the primary gatekeeper — no greenlight, no launch.

Approval delays usually signal ongoing regulatory concerns, not rejection. ️
