Bitwise announced on September 10 that it plans to close its Dogecoin ETF, BWOW, with its final trading session expected on October 14, 2026. The asset manager said the decision forms part of changes to its product range. prnewswire.com
The timetable separates the trading deadline from the cash payout. Investors will be able to trade existing shares until the October 14 close. Bitwise plans to convert the fund's Dogecoin holdings to cash that day and stop creating new shares before the October 15 market open. prnewswire.com
Shareholders still holding BWOW are scheduled to receive cash on October 22, based on their shares' net asset value as of October 21. Bitwise says those investors will not need to take action to receive the distribution. The announcement sets out a planned wind-down; it does not say trading has already ended. prnewswire.com
