Markus had a dream in which he won a "sweet electric bike" from a difficult MrBeast challenge, but then he woke up, he shared on X. But then, he missed the bike he did "all that dream work for."

Markus himself is a well-known figure whose biggest pop culture moment was launching Dogecoin as a prank on Bitcoin.

MrBeast attends the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards at UBS Arena on September 07, 2025 in Elmont, New York. However, it turns out the meme coin he launched in 2013 is being taken seriously by Wall Street.

###First Dogecoin ETF likely to be launched

It is likely that the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) tied to Dogecoin could launch this week. Popular ETF analyst Eric Balchunas shared last week that REX Shares and Osprey Funds had jointly filed to launch a Dogecoin ETF.

If approved, it would mark a pivotal moment for the meme coin, as not only is it already among the top 10 cryptocurrencies, but it would also follow Bitcoin in having an ETF tied to it.

As per Kraken's price feed, Dogecoin was trading at $0.2371 at the time of writing, up 6% in a day. The meme coin, which hit a record high of $0.7376 on May 8, 2021, is the eighth-largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of around $36 billion.
