Crypto ETF Flows Split: Bitcoin Adds $228 Million While Ether Sees $26 Million Exit

Bitwise Asset Management has quietly nudged Dogecoin one step closer to Wall 
Street’s ETF club, filing an amended S-1 on 26 June that for the first time 
allows “in-kind” creations and redemptions. The tweak is more than procedural. 
It lines the proposed Bitwise Dogecoin ETF up with the operational playbook 
the US Securities and Exchange Commission already blessed for spot-bitcoin and 
spot-ether products, and it signals that SEC staff are now deep in the weeds 
on the mechanics of custody and settlement. Signs Point To Dogecoin ETF 
Approval “Bitwise has filed amended S-1s for their spot Dogecoin ETF and their 
spot Aptos ETFs. Good signs as it indicates SEC engagement, and tracks with 
other spot approvals,” Bloomberg Intelligence senior ETF analyst Eric 
Balchunas wrote on X. He underscored the importance of the new language: “One 
HUGE update to the filing is ‘in-kind’ creations and redemptions… Near-lock at 
this point that in-kind will be allowed in spot ETFs across board.” Related

change matters because in-kind processing lets authorized participants swap 
DOGE directly for ETF shares (and vice versa) without the tax friction and 
slippage that accompany the cash-only model imposed on futures-based crypto 
funds. The SEC’s willingness to consider that structure for a dog-branded 
altcoin would have seemed fanciful a year ago. It now appears consistent with 
the regulator’s post-bitcoin-ETF détente, during which issuers also sought in- 
kind redemptions. Approval odds are converging on the high end of the 
spectrum. Less than a week ago, Balchunas and fellow analyst James Seyffart 
raised their probability for “the vast majority” of pending altcoin 
ETFs—including Dogecoin—to “90 percent or higher,” citing what Seyffart called 
“very positive” SEC engagement. Related Reading: Dogecoin Crash Far From Over? 
Analyst Reveals The Target Notably, that optimism has not fully washed into 
prediction markets: on Polymarket, the contract titled “Doge ETF approved in 
2025?” was trading around 69% early Friday morning in Europe, while a shorter- 
dated line for approval by 31 July priced in barely 13% odds. Dogecoin Price 
Stalls (For Now) Dogecoin itself has yet to reflect the regulatory tail-wind. 
The token changed hands near $0.161—down roughly 2% on the day. Technical 
trader Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) argues that bulls still control the longer-term 
picture: on his weekly chart, DOGE has respected a momentum breakout line 
traced back to late-2022 on five separate tests, each time spring-boarding 
into “major bounces.” He pegs the “line in the sand” at the $0.143–0.127 
support band: “ Yet Kevin cautions that meme-coin exuberance ultimately hinges 
on the Federal Reserve, not tweet-driven hype. In a separate post this week, 
he noted that fresh highs in bitcoin dominance continue to ride “restrictive 
monetary policy and an uncertain geopolitical environment.” Alt-season, he 
wrote, will require the end of quantitative tightening and a tangible decline 
in the US terminal rate—conditions absent since late-2023 and still distant 
according to Fed-funds futures. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.16123.
