Valour’s head of Nordics, Johanna Belitz, cited growing demand for Dogecoin, influenced by events such as the U.S. presidential election and support from figures like Elon Musk.
Dogecoin, created in 2013 as a parody of cryptocurrencies, has since become a significant asset with a $55 billion market cap.
Operating on its proof-of-work blockchain, it supports micropayments and tipping but lacks smart contract functionality.
Its design enables faster, less resource-intensive transactions compared to Bitcoin, with no supply cap.
Memecoins have surged in 2024, becoming a rapidly expanding sector in the crypto market, with platforms like Pump.fun boosting their adoption.
This launch follows Valour’s earlier introduction of a Near Protocol ETP, reflecting its broader strategy in crypto ETPs.
I am not against memes, but meme coins are getting "a little" weird now.

Let's build real applications using blockchain.
The DOGE ETP emerges amid debates on memecoins’ value, with Binance’s former CEO urging a focus on meaningful blockchain applications instead of speculative assets.
DeFi Technologies manages around $600 million in crypto-focused assets.
