- Canary Capital filed for an ETF based on MOG Coin, a cat-themed memecoin linked to TikTok culture.
- The MOG token ranks 339th by market capitalization, valued at about $170 million, and is down 78% over the past year.
- The new ETF aligns with Canary Capital‘s strategy to issue niche crypto asset products, following ETFs on Litecoin, HBAR, and soon XRP.
- Recent regulatory changes under SEC leadership have eased requirements for new crypto ETFs, enabling quicker market entries.
- If approved, the MOG ETF would provide regulated exposure to a specialized memecoin asset in a growing market of targeted digital asset funds.
Canary Capital has submitted a registration statement for the Canary MOG ETF, a fund designed to track the price of MOG Coin. The move, announced Wednesday, aims to give investors direct exposure to the MOG token held by the trust, after deducting operating expenses. MOG Coin is a memecoin issued on the Ethereum blockchain, inspired by the “Mog” meme and TikTok culture communities.
Although popular in its niche, MOG is ranked 339th among cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, holding an estimated value near $170 million. Despite its community appeal, the token’s price has fallen 78% in the last year, reflecting a broader downturn in the memecoin sector following 2024 price highs.
The filing is part of Canary Capital‘s broader approach to expand its portfolio of long-tail cryptocurrency products. Recently, the firm launched ETFs linked to Litecoin and HBAR and is set to release a spot XRP ETF, leveraging updated SEC guidance that allows such launches without explicit agency approval during the current government shutdown.
Under the administration of President Donald Trump’s appointment of crypto-friendly regulator Paul Atkins, the SEC has accelerated rules around digital assets. This shift has introduced new listing standards for specialized ETFs, marking a significant change from the agency’s stance two years ago.
Pending regulatory approval, the Canary MOG ETF would extend the trend of highly specific crypto funds by offering a regulated product for a less mainstream memecoin. This could appeal to retail brokers and wealth managers seeking niche digital asset exposure, although actual investor demand remains uncertain.
