The first US Dogecoin ETF sparks debate over whether it’s a milestone for adoption or the institutionalization of speculation. The first US Dogecoin (DOGE) exchange-traded fund (ETF) is set to launch Thursday, dividing industry voices between those calling it a breakthrough for crypto’s community-driven legitimacy and those dismissing it as speculation in a new wrapper. Unlike Bitcoin ETFs approved under the Securities Act of 1933, the Rex-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) won approval under the Investment Company Act of 1940, a framework typically used for mutual funds and diversified ETFs. BlackRock’s spot crypto fund, for instance, simply holds Bitcoin (BTC) in Coinbase custody. DOJE instead gains exposure through a Cayman Islands subsidiary and derivatives since the 1940 act requires diversification and restricts single-asset concentration. Read more -

EIP-7943 author Dario Lo Buglio told Cointelegraph that the standard’s goal is to solve industry fragmentation with standardized functions for compliance. A coalition of Web3 companies has introduced a new Ethereum token standard designed to streamline compliance and reduce fragmentation in the growing real-world asset (RWA) sector. According to an announcement sent to Cointelegraph, the standard, ERC-7943, creates a minimal, modular interface designed to work across Ethereum layer-2s and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) chains, while remaining agnostic to implementation and vendor-specific infrastructure. This means it can work in any setup and isn’t locked into any specific company’s tools. Dario Lo Buglio, the co-founder of Brickken and the author of the Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-7943, told Cointelegraph that the new standard acts as a “universal layer” that sits on top of any token type. This allows developers and institutions to avoid having to use wrappers and custom bridges while integrating t... -
