Paxos now supports Dogecoin on its regulated brokerage and custody stack, opening the $15.5 bn memecoin to fintech and institutional clients amid ongoing
Paxos announced on Monday that Dogecoin (DOGE) is now available on its brokerage and custody platform, giving fintech, payments and institutional clients the infrastructure to test and potentially offer DOGE trading and custody services【1】. The move arrives as crypto exchange‑traded products have recorded $1.67 bn of net outflows in the latest week, highlighting a broader risk‑off environment for digital assets【1】.

Paxos’ platform, which underpins services for PayPal, Venmo, Interactive Brokers and Mercado Libre, now includes DOGE in its custody and brokerage stack. The integration does not automatically trigger trading or custody offerings from these partners; each must independently assess regulatory compliance and business fit before launching DOGE products【1】. By making DOGE “available for clients to test,” Paxos aims to lower the operational barrier for institutions that have so far shown limited demand compared with Bitcoin and Ether【1】.
Dogecoin remains the largest memecoin by market capitalization at $15.53 bn, but institutional interest has lagged behind that of BTC and ETH. Recent institutional milestones include Grayscale’s Dogecoin Trust launched in January 2025 and 21Shares’ approval to list a Dogecoin ETF earlier this year【1】. Despite these developments, the broader crypto market is experiencing subdued demand: CoinShares reported three consecutive weeks of net outflows totaling $4.21 bn, a trend the firm’s research head linked partly to stalled progress on the U.S. CLARITY Act【1】. Additionally, TRM Labs noted an 11 % drop in global crypto adoption in Q1, suggesting weaker retail participation【1】.
The addition of Dogecoin to Paxos’ regulated stack signals a tentative step toward broader institutional exposure, yet the ultimate impact will depend on whether major fintech partners translate the new capability into live offerings amid a market still wrestling with outflows and declining retail adoption.

Dogecoin was created by IBM software engineer Billy Markus and Adobe software engineer Jackson Palmer. The two developers officially launched the cryptocurrency on December 6, 2013.
Dogecoin has an uncapped supply, meaning new coins are added to the network indefinitely. This design choice is intended to keep transaction fees low and support the ongoing operation of the network.
Dogecoin was originally created as a joke to make fun of the wild speculation surrounding cryptocurrencies at the time. The founders intended to develop a peer-to-peer digital currency that could reach a broader demographic than Bitcoin.
Dogecoin mining uses a proof-of-work algorithm based on Scrypt technology. This method requires miners to use dedicated field-programmable gate array or application-specific integrated circuit devices rather than standard Bitcoin mining equipment.
