Recent important updates on PEPE:

1️⃣ Canary Capital files spot PEPE ETF application Canary Capital has submitted an exchange-traded fund application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that tracks the PEPE price, aiming to bring this meme coin to institutional investors on Wall Street. PEPE futures are already traded on regulated exchanges such as Kraken, meeting the basic requirements for spot ETF listing. This marks another step closer for PEPE to enter mainstream financial channels.

2️⃣ Limited enthusiasm from institutional investors for meme-coin ETFs Despite Canary Capital’s filing, the PEPE price reaction has been muted, reflecting insufficient demand for meme-coin ETFs among institutional investors. Taking the Dogecoin ETF as an example: although four asset management firms have launched U.S.-listed Dogecoin ETF products, among all crypto-asset ETFs it ranks only 17th. Net inflows since the start of the year are just $13 million. This suggests that, aside from Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP, institutional recognition for ETFs of other alternative tokens is relatively low.
