Summary
Grayscale filed in an October 5 filing to add Anchorage Digital as a second vault for the 144.8 million DOGE held in its fund, according to CryptoTicker. The move comes as DOGE has weakened: the coin dropped 14% this month, from $0.095 to near $0.0824, as reported by KuCoin on October 15. Per CoinMarketCap, DOGE traded at $0.0819 on the reporting date, down 4.7% in a day.

Bitwise ended trading in its DOGE fund on October 14. According to the article, the shutdown moved DOGE's price by less than 1% over two days. Futures funding stood at 0.0088% on October 15, per KuCoin, which the article reads as traders still paying to stay long. A CoinMarketCap update on October 14 identified $0.080 as the key floor after DOGE broke out of its September channel, with bulls targeting $0.087 this week and $0.095 for October, the level DOGE held in early October. At a market capitalization of about $13.8 billion, the article notes that a return to DOGE's all-time high of $0.7376 would represent roughly a ninefold gain.

The article also promotes Pepeto, a meme coin presale that it describes as raising more than $11.2 million, citing a presale price of $0.0000001901, staking yields of 160% APY, and a potential Binance listing. These claims are promotional, come from the presale project itself, and have not been independently verified; the article contains a disclaimer that it is not financial advice. For institutional readers, the verifiable developments are the Grayscale vault filing and the Bitwise fund closure.
