Shiba Inu Rings Nasdaq Bell as 21Shares Lists Dogecoin ETF, DOGE Surges 13.7%
A Shiba Inu named Kimchi became the first dog to ring the Nasdaq opening bell on Feb. 18 in connection with 21Shares' Dogecoin ETF debut under ticker TDOG, House of Doge said. Kimchi was selected through a community campaign on X that generated over 1.2 million impressions, and House of Doge described the event as marking Dogecoin's evolution from a 2013 meme coin to a recognized financial brand now backed by a regulated spot ETF. Dogecoin climbed 13.7% in the past 24 hours to $0.1017 on Wednesday, rebounding from a session low of $0.087 as broader crypto markets recovered.
