- 21Shares launches TDOG ETF for simple Dogecoin exposure via NASDAQ.
- New ETF offers direct, transparent access to Dogecoin without complexities.
- TDOG aims to simplify crypto investments through traditional brokerage accounts.
21Shares, a leading global provider of crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs), has announced the launch of the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF (TDOG), which will begin trading on NASDAQ on January 22, 2026. TDOG provides shareholders direct investment in Dogecoin (DOGE) in a fully backed and transparent product. It keeps DOGE on a one-to-one basis in institutional-quality custody, which is a safe and easy method by which investors can be involved in the development of Dogecoin without having to have digital wallets or crypto-exchanges.
With the introduction of TDOG, 21Shares allows investors to gain exposure to Dogecoin with the help of the usual brokerage accounts, without the hassle of working with the cryptocurrency storage and operations. However, TDOG does not fall under Investment Company Act of 1940, which gives the conventional ETFs greater regulatory risk, and therefore it is more risk and volatile.

TDOG is an issuance that is a successor of the 21Shares Solana ETF (TSOL), which was issued in November 2025. In 2025, 21Shares also introduced the 21Shares 2x Long Dogecoin ETF (TXXD) that provides investors with two times greater daily exposure to Dogecoin, an additional crypto fund offered by the company. The launches are also a continuation of 21Shares to launch institutional-grade crypto investment products to the market.
Strategic Partnership with House of Doge
The introduction of TDOG also shows the increased collaboration of 21Shares with the House of Doge, the initiative that supports the Dogecoin ecosystem. It is important to note that according to Marco Margiotta, CEO of House of Doge, the launch of TDOG is another step towards opening the Dogecoin to more investors via the traditional financial constructs. This partnership will contribute to the wider adoption of the market as the Dogecoin ecosystem is still growing.
Dogecoin can be considered as a meme coin, but it is also gaining popularity due to its growing number of uses in the real world, philanthropic efforts, and one of the biggest crypto communities. With Dogecoin still on its way to adoption, as 21Shares with the house of Doge partners with the house, TDOG is set to be a reliable, transparent investment product.
The new partnership with FalconX, with its experience in the area of crypto brokerage, liquidity, investment management, and so forth, builds the leadership of 21Shares as a leader in the digital asset domain. This partnership will enable 21Shares to increase its global reach and keep providing innovative offerings to the investor in North America, Latin America, and Europe.
