MOG price jumps 25% after first-ever Mog Coin ETF filing
Canary Capital has filed the first-ever SEC application for an ETF linked to Mog Coin (MOG), signaling a potential shift in how global finance views meme cryptocurrencies. This ETF, named the Mog Coin Trust, will track MOG’s price performance through direct holdings and initially allocate up to 5% of its assets to Ethereum for transaction costs. The move represents a cultural shift in legitimizing meme cryptocurrencies, such as Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, by bringing them closer to the regulated financial market. Following the filing, Mog Coin experienced a temporary 26% price spike. If approved, the ETF could attract institutional investors, potentially driving growth, while similar developments in altcoin ETFs are anticipated as the SEC response is awaited.

Mog Coin Takes the Spotlight Amid Government Shutdown Recovery
As the cryptocurrency market braces for recoveries following the end of the US government shutdown, Mog Coin emerged as a central focus. Canary Capital made headlines by filing for the first-ever exchange-traded fund (ETF) linked to the MOG token.
🔥 NEW: Canary Capital has submitted an SEC filing for a MOG Coin ETF.
This development signals a potential shift in global finance's perception of meme cryptocurrencies, moving them closer to formalized investment opportunities.
Details of the Proposed MOG ETF
The late Wednesday filing emphasized tracking MOG Coin’s real-time price performance as the primary goal. The ETF will:
- Hold Mog Coin assets.
- Value its shares based on a pricing benchmark.
- Store assets with a designated custodian.
Notably, the Trust might initially hold up to 5% of its assets in Ethereum to cover transaction charges related to buying, transferring, or selling the MOG token on the Ether blockchain. However, Canary Capital expects MOG holdings to decline over time, potentially impacting the ETF's capacity to track the coin's performance accurately.
This highlights the challenges of structuring meme tokens into financial instruments while balancing credibility, regulation, and the inherent volatility of cryptocurrencies.
A Cultural Shift in Meme Cryptocurrencies
Canary Capital's filing goes beyond financial innovation; it's part of a cultural shift in the cryptocurrency world. Meme tokens like Dogecoin, Shiba Inu, and PEPE have traditionally relied on hype rather than fundamentals, leading to difficulty in gaining credibility.
The introduction of a formal exchange-traded fund trust (ETF) transforms these assets, bringing them closer to the realm of compliant investment tools. A few years ago, the idea of turning internet jokes into money felt impossible. However, this ETF filing reflects a broader “proof-of-concept” moment, where the lines between finance and fun are increasingly blurred.
Mog Coin's Price Reaction to ETF News
The announcement of the ETF sparked immediate price action for Mog Coin. The token rallied sharply, moving from $0.0000003458 to an intraday high of $0.0000004363 — a rise of approximately 26%. However, the surge proved unsustainable, as the price retraced to $0.0000003738, likely influenced by broader market declines.
An ETF could open institutional investment opportunities for Mog Coin, positioning it for future growth as businesses explore regulated exposure to risk assets like cryptocurrencies.
Outlook for Meme Token ETFs
Canary Capital's Mog Coin Trust sets the stage for businesses to experience the meme token phenomenon within a regulatory framework. Enthusiasts and industry stakeholders are keenly watching regulatory responses, as the reopening of the US government could accelerate ETF-related developments.
Several firms are competing for SEC approval of their respective crypto Trusts. For instance, Canary Capital's XRP ETF is anticipated to launch today, November 13. The narrative around Mog Coin, in particular, may drive increased attention and innovation in the altcoin ETF space in the coming months.
