Asset management firm Canary Capital has amended its application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed spot PEPE exchange-traded fund (ETF). The fund aims to hold the Ethereum-based memecoin directly to reflect its market price.

The amended S-1 filing provides additional operational details, including the designation of BitGo Bank & Trust as the custodian and Cboe BZX as the exchange. To calculate the net asset value, the filing specifies the use of the ‘CoinDesk PEPE Benchmark Rate 60m NY Rate’. 

No launch date or approval decision has been established, as the securities cannot be sold until the registration statement becomes effective with the SEC. Analysts suggest these developments indicate growing issuer confidence in expanding crypto-based investment products beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, coinciding with a period of recovering confidence and technical market shifts for the PEPE token.
