House of Doge is bringing Dogecoin into Japan via key local partnerships.
The focus is on building real-world payment tools and tokenized asset solutions.

Dogecoin has officially expanded its presence in Japan through House of Doge, a corporate entity under the Dogecoin Foundation. This move is being implemented through a partnership with abc Co., Ltd. and ReYuu Japan Inc. to develop tokenization solutions and payment systems aimed at the Japanese market.

At the center of the expansion is House of Doge, responsible for shaping Dogecoin’s plans, coordinating the ecosystem, and managing its push outside the U.S.

On the other hand, abc Co., Ltd. is known for its experience in blockchain technology development and token economy design, while ReYuu Japan Inc. is responsible for building out the commercial strategy and adjusting the product to match Japan’s market dynamics. This collaboration is designed as a long-term partnership, not a flashy project that launches a major product quickly.

Dogecoin Pushes Practical Use in Japan’s Digital Economy

This move into Japan is aimed at expanding Dogecoin’s use in various digital activities, particularly payment systems and Web3-based products. Rather than solely emphasizing the community, Dogecoin is now encouraging the development of more practical use cases. Tokenization of real-world assets is also on the agenda, opening up opportunities for integrating digital assets with broader economic needs.

The three companies also intend to set up a joint fund that will back Web3 projects, infrastructure work, and new developments tied to the memecoin ecosystem in Japan. This fund aims to accelerate adoption, support local startups, and create more relevant products for users. With this approach, DOGE is attempting to build a more stable foundation in the Japanese market.

However, no specific service or product launch schedule has been publicly announced. This collaboration is still in the strategic framework stage. Yet the path forward is already visible, with a focus on integrating Dogecoin into routine digital interactions in Japan, not just treating it as a speculative play.

Furthermore, this expansion also reflects the Dogecoin Foundation’s efforts to strengthen its position in the Asian region. Japan was chosen for its mature technology ecosystem and high interest in digital innovation. With the support of a local partner, Dogecoin has a greater opportunity to tailor products and services to the needs of users there.

In the past few months, the memecoin has attracted plenty of attention. Earlier, we reported that Grayscale secured approval to list a spot DOGE ETF on NYSE Arca on November 24, 2025. The DOGE ETF will trade under the ticker symbol GDOG. This product expands traditional investors’ access to Dogecoin through capital market instruments.

Around mid-November, we reported that one analyst believed DOGE had a path toward the $1 zone. Growing momentum and heavier trading activity were viewed as indicators that memecoin was approaching a pivotal stage that could allow for additional upside.

Back in September, we reported that Rex-Osprey had expanded its range of products by adding a Dogecoin ETF, following its earlier launch of the Solana Staking ETF. The product is designed to provide direct exposure to DOGE’s price movements, with at least 80% of assets allocated to Dogecoin or related instruments such as futures contracts and swaps.

As of press time, DOGE is trading at approximately $0.140, down 0.28% over the last 24 hours and 1.30% over the last 7 days.
