Wall Street Meme Coin ETFs?

DOGE finally got its own spot ETF (DOJE) — that’s a huge step for memecoins moving into the mainstream. So the question: will other memecoins like PEPE, BONK, or even more obscure ones get ETF treatment too?

Some clues suggest maybe:

• The U.S. SEC has recently approved rules that make it easier for more crypto spot ETFs to be listed.

• Institutions are already showing interest in PEPE and BONK — volumes for those coins are spiking when news about the DOGE ETF comes out.

• There’s also a filing for a $TRUMP meme-coin ETF (for the TRUMP token), which means ETF issuers are already thinking outside just the big ones.

But there are big “ifs”:

– Regulatory approvals take time, especially for smaller, more volatile tokens.

– The coin has to be liquid, widely traded, have strong infrastructure/trust. PEPE/BONK have community, but do they meet all ETF issuer & SEC conditions?

– Risk of volatility, manipulation etc. might make issuers hesitate unless certain safeguards are in place.

My guess: For PEPE & BONK, there will be moves toward ETF-type exposure, but maybe not for some of the smaller or newer ones for a while. If you believe in memecoin culture, this could be a time to watch closely.

What do you all think — PEPE ETF by late 2025? BONK in 2026? Or still wishful thinking?
