I accidentally slipped during the early morning review, and the DOGE ETF news completely threw me off. To be honest, this event has totally reshaped my understanding of the traditional finance world.

Let’s be straightforward—DOGE getting ETF approval means far more than it appears on the surface.

This isn’t just about launching a new product. It’s that, for the first time, those suit-and-tie institutional big shots are giving the green light to assets beyond just BTC and ETH. What were the old rules? Either Bitcoin or Ethereum—anything else? Sorry, not qualified to join the table. Now? The rules of the game have changed. As long as there’s strong enough market consensus, even if it’s got a meme face as its avatar, Wall Street is still willing to put real money on the line.

There’s a deeper shift in logic here: in the past, everyone believed in “technology narrative above all”—no smart contracts? No ecosystem support? Then it’s not a legitimate asset. But the approval of the DOGE ETF delivers a direct blow to that theory. Turns out, the definition of a value carrier isn’t up to the technical team—it’s determined by market consensus.

So why do I say the AI sector will be the next to take the baton?

It’s simple. DOGE has paved the way for “institutionalizing non-mainstream assets.” The next sector to replicate this path will inevitably be one that has both strong technology and hot topics. AI happens to check both boxes: real-world application scenarios on the tech side, and narrative heat at the forefront of the era. Some top exchanges are already making frequent moves in the AI token sector—this isn’t a coincidence, it’s instinct.

The market’s attention is shifting—from simply chasing consensus coins, to seriously evaluating the dual value of “technology + consensus.”
