Grayscale will introduce new exchange-traded fund products tied to Dogecoin and XRP on Nov. 24 after securing approval to list both vehicles on the New York Stock Exchange.

The Grayscale Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) and the Grayscale XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) will debut as spot ETPs holding their respective underlying tokens.

Grayscale Expands ETF Lineup With Dogecoin and XRP

The firm is converting its existing private trusts into fully listed ETFs, a move that represents a major liquidity event for current investors.

GXRP will enter a market that already includes spot products from Canary Capital and Bitwise.

Those funds have drawn about $422 million in combined inflows during their first two weeks of trading, signaling early institutional interest in XRP-linked products.

On the other hand, GDOG will be one of the first Dogecoin ETF available to US investors.

Dogecoin, once a meme token, has grown into the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization. Its deep retail following has made it one of the most frequently traded and discussed digital assets, a trend Grayscale expects will support ETF demand.

Considering this, Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Eric Balchunas said the product could attract as much as $11 million in volume on its first trading day.

GDOG and GXRP’s launch broadens the mix of crypto ETFs available in the US market, extending the industry’s expansion beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum products that dominated the initial wave of approvals.

Their arrival also reflects shifting regulatory conditions in Washington.

Both approvals are part of a broader acceleration in digital asset oversight under Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins.

Since taking office, Atkins has moved the agency away from a “regulation by enforcement” approach and toward a disclosure-focused framework.

Through his “Project Crypto” initiative, he has signaled that the SEC is open to reviewing compliant digital asset products, clearing the path for issuers seeking to list new ETFs.

Solana is weighing a radical shift in its economic model that would eliminate approximately 22.3 million SOL ($2.9 billion) from projected emissions over the next six years.

As a result, the proposal would aggressively fast-track the transition of the blockchain to a low-inflation environment.

Solana’s Plan to Tighten Supply Risks Squeezing Nearly 50 Validators

The measure, formally titled SIMD-0411, proposes doubling the Solana network’s annual disinflation rate from 15% to 30%.

“Doubling the disinflation rate requires modifying a single parameter, making it the simplest possible protocol change that delivers a meaningful reduction in inflation. This adjustment will not consume core developer resources. It carries minimal risk of introducing bugs or unforeseen edge cases,” the authors argued.

If passed, Solana would hit its “terminal” inflation target of 1.5% in roughly three years, ie, by 2029. Notably, that milestone was originally scheduled for 2032.

Proponents describe the current emissions schedule as a “leaky bucket” that continually dilutes holders and creates persistent sell pressure.

By tightening supply, the network hopes to emulate the scarcity mechanics that have historically benefited Bitcoin and Ethereum.

“Our modeling indicates that, over the next 6 years, total supply would be approximately 3.2% lower (a reduction of 22.3 million SOL) than under the current inflation schedule. At today’s SOL price, this equates to roughly $2.9 billion in reduced emissions. Excessive emissions create persistent downward price pressure, distorting market signals and hindering fair price comparison,” they wrote.

Beyond price support, the plan seeks to overhaul the incentive structure for decentralized finance (DeFi).

Moreover, the proposal argues that high inflation mirrors high interest rates in traditional finance, raising the “risk-free” benchmark and discouraging borrowing.

Considering this, Solana aims to push capital out of passive validation and into active liquidity provision by compressing nominal staking yields. Those yields are projected to fall from 6.41% to 2.42% by the third year.

However, this “hard money” pivot carries operational risks.

The reduction in subsidies will inevitably squeeze validator margins.

The proposal estimates that up to 47 validators could become unprofitable within three years as rewards dry up. However, the authors describe this level of churn as minimal.

Still, it raises questions about whether the network will consolidate around larger, better-capitalized operators that can survive on transaction fees alone.

Despite these concerns, early backing from key ecosystem players suggests Solana is prepared to trade subsidized growth for greater stability. The shift reflects a move toward positioning the network as a more mature, scarcity-driven asset class.

US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds just posted their busiest trading session ever, even as the recent slide in the cryptocurrency’s price has left the average ETF investor holding losses.

The surge in activity marks a new phase in the market’s adjustment to this month’s selloff in the sector.

BlackRock’s IBIT on Top as $238 Million Inflows Return Amid Market Stress

On November 21, Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas reported that the 12 spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded $11.5 billion in combined trading volume.

Balchunas described the spike in volume as “wild but normal,” noting that ETFs and other asset classes tend to record elevated turnover during periods of market stress.

He said such bursts of activity often signal the release of liquidity as investors reshuffle positions.

The elevated turnover reflected brisk two-way participation, with some investors cutting exposure while others took advantage of lower prices to add to positions.

BlackRock’s IBIT led the surge, generating $8 billion in turnover and accounting for more than 69% of all spot Bitcoin ETF trading that day. This was IBIT’s highest-volume session since launch, though the fund still ended the day with $122 million in outflows.

“Also, no surprise record week for Put volume in IBIT.. this is one thing that may help people stay the course, they can always buy some puts as a hedge while they stay long,” Balchunas added.

Meanwhile, other Bitcoin ETFs, led by Fidelity’s FBTC, posted net inflows of more than $238 million.

Despite this inflow, the 12 Bitcoin investment vehicles are on course for their worst trading month, with net outflows of more than $3.5 billion.

This substantial outflow and record session come as the average spot Bitcoin ETF holder has slipped into the red.

Bitcoin’s drop below that level this week pushed most holders, including those who entered the market in January 2024, into unrealized losses.

Bitcoin fell roughly 12% this week to as low as $80,000 before recovering to $84,431 as of press time. This price performance extends a month-long slide and reinforces the risk-off sentiment across digital assets.

Bitcoin’s recent drop toward $80,000 has driven most active capital in the asset into losses, signaling a shift in market conditions for the world’s largest cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin has erased nearly 35% from its October peak of about $126,000 after sinking to a seven-month low. As a result, it is now generating one of the largest waves of unrealized losses this cycle.

Over 70% of US Dollars Invested in Bitcoin is in Loss

According to data from on-chain analytics firm Checkonchain, the price rout has forced more than 70% of the capital allocated to Bitcoin underwater.

Bitcoin analyst James Check explains that 71.2% of the network’s realized capitalization carries a cost basis of at least $86,500. This metric prices each coin in the circulating supply at the value it last moved on-chain.

Thus, it effectively represents the aggregate entry price for the market’s active investors.

So, with Bitcoin recently tumbling below that critical waterline, a flood of buyers who entered during the late-2024 and early-2025 rallies now face mounting losses. Many of these investors are effectively trapped in positions that no longer break even.

This heavy concentration of volume near the highs indicates that short-term holders are experiencing acute stress. It is forcing their Net Unrealized Profit and Loss metrics to collapse to cycle lows.

Bitcoin Market Sentiment Reaches 2-Year Low

Meanwhile, this fracture in the broader market structure is further corroborated by Glassnode data.

The firm’s Relative Unrealized Loss indicator, which tracks the dollar value of coins held below their acquisition price relative to total market capitalization, has spiked to 8.5%. In a typical, healthy bull market, this metric generally remains below 5%.

So, the current breach suggests that the drawdown represents a significant “market reset” of the asset’s ownership base rather than a standard volatility correction.

While prices have staged a modest recovery to the $84,543 level at press time, the psychological damage to the retail sector appears severe.

Social media sentiment has cratered to its lowest point since December 2023, according to blockchain analytics platform Santiment.

The firm said its analysis of social media commentary across X, Reddit, and Telegram shows that retail traders are capitulating and panic-selling at levels unseen in two years.

Historically, such extreme levels of bearishness often act as a contrarian signal, suggesting that the market may be clearing out weak hands in preparation for a local bottom.
