Bitwise's BWOW Dogecoin ETF has reached its liquidation date, triggering cash redemptions for remaining holders. Dogecoin (DOGE) is trading at ₹7.36 ($0.0776), down 2.3% since this brief published. This is an original Token Times brief based on reporting by NewsBTC, with live market data added, as of Fri, 23 Oct 2026 23:00:01 UTC.

Why it matters

The liquidation marks the end of one of the first regulated Dogecoin investment vehicles, reflecting shifting institutional interest in meme coins amid market uncertainties.

Key takeaways
  • Bitwise BWOW Dogecoin ETF liquidated on October 22 as scheduled.
  • Remaining shareholders will receive cash based on NAV.
  • DOGE price remains stable despite ETF liquidation.

Bitwise's BWOW Dogecoin ETF has entered its scheduled liquidation phase as of October 22, with the process now underway to redeem the remaining assets for cash. This marks the formal end of the exchange-traded fund, which was one of the first regulated investment vehicles for Dogecoin.

The liquidation comes amid a period of market uncertainty for meme coins, with Dogecoin's price showing modest volatility in recent weeks. Despite the ETF's liquidation, DOGE has maintained relative stability, currently trading at $0.079355 with a 24-hour increase of 0.67%.

According to DeFiLlama, the circulating supply of CASH is $127.7M, which may be relevant as the ETF's assets are converted to cash for distribution. The broader crypto market remains flat, with a total market cap of $2.79T and a Fear & Greed index of 50, indicating a neutral sentiment.

The liquidation of the BWOW Dogecoin ETF reflects the evolving landscape of crypto investment products, as institutional interest shifts and regulatory considerations come into play. The move may also influence investor sentiment towards other meme coins and similar investment vehicles.

Looking ahead, the distribution of assets to shareholders will be a key development to watch, as it will provide further insight into the ETF's final valuation and the impact on investor returns. The stability of DOGE during this process may also be indicative of the coin's resilience in the face of changing market dynamics.
