2025 was supposed to be crypto's maturation year, with regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and infrastructure built to last. In fact, the foundation for all these topics was laid down. Yet, it also delivered a master class in how quickly narratives collapse when opacity meets price discovery. Tokens that launched with maximum hype, extracted maximum fees, […]

In a recent report, the data aggregator CoinGecko has unveiled the leading crypto narratives of the year, with the Real-World Asset (RWA) sector emerging as a major contender with notable returns RWAs Lead Crypto Market Growth The report highlights that RWA has become the standout narrative in 2025, boasting an impressive average price return of 185.8% year-to-date (YTD) across key tokens, such as Figure Heloc, Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Tether Gold (XAUT), and BlackRock’s BUIDL. This surge in the RWA sector can largely be attributed to the performance of specific platforms. Notably, Keeta Network has skyrocketed by 1,794.9% YTD, while Zebec Network and Maple Finance have recorded gains of 217.3% and 123.0% respectively. Related Reading: Bitcoin Correction Timeline: Analyst Predicts Potential Bottom In October 2026 Current statistics show that the crypto RWA sector boasts a Distributed Asset Value of $18.88 billion, reflecting a 2.56% increase over the past month. However, the Represented Asset Value has seen a slight decline, standing at $407.93 billion, down 2.36%. For context, RWA’s approach facilitates asset managers and projects the digital transformation of tangible assets, such as real estate and commodities, creating a solid foundation for trading, managing, and securing these assets. Layer-1 (L1) solutions have emerged as the second most profitable narrative this year, achieving an average price gain of 80.3% YTD. The success of this narrative can be attributed to the performance of privacy-focused blockchains such as Zcash and Monero, which have seen rallies of 691.3% and 143.6%, respectively. Another noteworthy crypto narrative, “Made in USA,” is also on track to end the year positively, with average gains of 30.6% YTD, primarily driven by Zcash’s performance that mitigated the moderate losses of other tokens in that category. Top Meme Tokens Suffer Heavy Losses Despite their popularity, narratives such as memecoins and artificial intelligence (AI) have struggled this year, with average returns of -31.6% and -50.2% year-to-date, respectively. Leading memecoins in the crypto space, such as Dogecoin (DOGE) and Shiba Inu (SHIB), have demonstrated the volatility of this sector by suffering significant losses of over 60% year-to-date. Similarly, the report notes that many artificial intelligence-focused crypto assets have recorded declines between 49.8% and 84.3%, with only Alchemist AI and Kite performing relatively better. Related Reading: Ethereum Fails To Surpass $3,000: Predictions For The Final Days Of The Year Lastly, the decentralized finance narrative faced a challenging year, experiencing average returns of -34.8%, which is consistent with the returns seen in the memecoins segment. The decentralized exchange (DEX) narrative has mirrored this decline with average losses of -55.5%, while layer-2 (L2) solutions have also struggled, recording average returns of -40.6% for the second year in a row. At the time of writing, the market’s leading crypto, Bitcoin (BTC), was trading at $88,960, having recorded losses of 10% year-to-date. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com

Reports have circulated across social channels this week after a prominent XRP commentator warned critics that they may be underestimating the token’s long-term role in finance. Related Reading: 5,606 Bitcoin: Lightning Network Sets Fresh Capacity Record According to a post on X by user UnknowDLT, XRP’s place in global payment rails was “planned more than a decade ago,” and the token could one day become “the most valuable asset in the world,” a claim that has stirred both debate and disbelief. Community Voice Turns Loud Supporters in the XRP community have long argued that market prices miss bigger shifts. Based on reports from prominent community accounts, followers say short-term trading noise hides structural moves that could lift demand for XRP over many years. One commentator, X Finance Bull, has suggested that Ripple’s escrow — which holds 34.4 billion XRP — will act as locked liquidity for banking corridors and institutional use, not as stockpiled supply destined for retail dumps. The world is NOT ready for what is coming for XRP. It was planned more than a decade ago, it is going to be the most valuable asset in the world. There will be war for your XRP. People keep laughing at XRP. They will end up crying for life, the end will be tragic for them. — {x} (@unknowDLT) December 15, 2025 Regulatory Moves And Institutional Aims Ripple’s recent regulatory steps are central to the bullish case. Reports have disclosed that the company received conditional clearance from the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to pursue a national trust bank charter, and that it is seeking a Federal Reserve master account. Community analysts argue those developments, if fully realized, would move Ripple closer to mainstream financial plumbing and could change how markets view token supply and institutional demand. $XRP HOLDERS ???????????? If you’re thinking about selling your $XRP right now, THINK AGAIN! Remember this? Brad Garlinghouse confirmed the CLARITY Act is expected in early 2026. That’s not a maybe. That’s a countdown. And when it passes, Ripple will be forced to declare the fate of… https://t.co/s1E2KnarnM pic.twitter.com/C4xAcKDltR — X Finance Bull (@Xfinancebull) December 15, 2025 Some supporters also point to a possible US Clarity Act as a legal milestone, with a timeline floated by some voices for passage in the first half of 2026. Tokenization And Big Numbers Analysts and company projections are being used to sketch wider potential. Ripple has suggested the tokenization market could grow to $19 trillion by 2033. Other commentators take that figure and run scenarios: if a slice of that activity used the XRP Ledger, price forecasts can balloon — with one cited bullish figure at $189 per XRP under high-adoption cases. Some community voices expect large-scale tokenization momentum to build between 2026 and 2027, which they say would favor high-throughput ledgers like XRP’s. Related Reading: Ethereum Meets Wall Street: JPMorgan Rolls Out Tokenized Fund Numbers And Forecasts Not everyone shares the same optimism. Several firms mentioned by community members put much lower targets on XRP, with conservative models forecasting prices under $30 by 2030. Other professional models place $100 XRP well beyond the next decade. Traders and investors are left to weigh three competing threads: legal clarity, technical capacity, and whether escrowed holdings will be used for institutional flows rather than sold.

Daily memecoin volume slumped to just under $5 billion this month after surging more than 760% to near $87 billion in 2024 as interest in the pop-culture crypto tokens evaporated.
Solana (SOL) has emerged as the most popular blockchain ecosystem of 2025, securing its crown for the second consecutive year despite a significant decrease in chain-specific global interest compared to the previous year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Bearish Signals Are ‘Hard To Ignore’: Analyst Warns Of Drop To April Lows Solana Takes The Popularity Crown On Monday, Solana was named the leading blockchain ecosystem by popularity in 2025 by crypto data aggregator CoinGecko. The study examined interest in blockchain ecosystems based on CoinGecko’s non-botted global web traffic from January 1 to December 14, 2025, only including ecosystems with actively listed coins and a non-zero percentage share of traffic. As a result, a total of 62 blockchain ecosystems were included in the study. Out of the 62 blockchain ecosystems studied, the 20 most popular represented a majority of 95.60% of global interest in chain-specific narratives. According to the report, the Solana ecosystem captured 26.79% of the global interest in chain-specific narratives this year, retaining its title as the most popular blockchain ecosystem for a second consecutive year. The Base ecosystem followed in second place, accounting for 13.94% of global investor interest in chain-specific narratives this year, led by constructive developments and partnerships. However, its mindshare experienced a 2.9% decrease from the 16.81% recorded in 2024. Similar to Solana and Base, the Ethereum ecosystem also retained its position from the 2024 list, ranking as the third most popular ecosystem with 13.43% of global interest. Meanwhile, Sui and BNB Chain moved up in the list, ranking 4th and 5th after more than doubling their mindshare in 2025. Per the study, the Sui ecosystem recorded the largest mindshare growth, with a 6.9% year-over-year (YoY) increase to reach 11.77% of the total global interest in chain-specific narratives. The BNB Chain ecosystem saw a 4.9% surge YoY to capture 9.05% in mindshare, fueled by the launch of Binance Alpha in May, which increased BNB Chain’s on-chain trading volumes, the report noted. Notably, XRP Ledger, Bittensor & Hyperliquid lead new entrants into the top rankings, securing a spot in the top 10 this year. SOL Memecoins Out Of Leading Narratives Despite leading the popularity rankings, CoinGecko highlighted that the Solana ecosystem’s mindshare had significantly decreased from the 38.79% it had dominated in 2024. According to the study, the ecosystem dropped by 12% this year, reflecting the blockchain’s “struggles to expand beyond its close association with meme coin speculation, as well as Solana’s range-bound price despite wider institutional adoption marked by the US ETFs launch.” This resulted in the Solana ecosystem dropping out of the top leading narratives list this year. In a Friday analysis, CoinGecko reported that memecoin emerged as the most popular crypto narrative in 2025 with a combined 25.02% of global investor interest across the main meme coin category and 35 meme coin trends. This represented a 5.65% decline from the 30.67% market share that the memecoin narrative held in 2024, suggesting that “the mania for purely speculative crypto may be subsiding.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Could Stage A 600% Rally In 2026 If This Multi-Year Support Holds The Solana ecosystem lost its spot in the top five most popular crypto narratives, where it had ranked for the previous two years, after being overtaken by AI agents and the Made in USA narratives. Meanwhile, the Solana memecoin sector also dropped out of the top five narratives after a 3.08% decline in global investor interest from 2024. Nonetheless, “it remains to be seen whether the Solana narrative will be able to ride on new catalysts next year, as momentum from its comeback story runs out,” CoinGecko added. As of this writing, SOL is trading at $126, a 2.61% decline in the daily timeframe. Featured Image from Unsplash.com, Chart from TradingView.com
A noted Bitcoin adviser has warned that Shiba Inu faces an uphill climb unless it retakes a prior support band, a call that has stirred debate across crypto social channels. Related Reading: Institutions Scoop Up 9,000 Ether, Fueling Bullish Signals According to posts by BingX Bitcoin adviser Nebraskan Gooner, the token must return above a horizontal region he marked between $0.000014 and $0.00001 to avoid a “dead” outlook. Key Support Level Under Scrutiny Gooner’s chart points to a multi-year zone that once acted as firm support. Reports show SHIB touched that band and later surged to about $0.000045 in early March 2024. The importance of the area is highlighted by the token’s price action: it has spent much of Q4 2025 below that range, and at the time of reporting SHIB was trading around $0.000008618. That places the coin roughly 33–38% below the $0.000013–$0.000014 region that many traders watch as critical. $SHIB Dead unless it reclaims red. pic.twitter.com/LOllFuyPYv — Nebraskangooner (@Nebraskangooner) December 9, 2025 Technical Traders See Trouble Ahead Breaking a long-held support level often flips buying interest into resistance, and that scenario is what traders fear here. Based on reports from market commentators, a failure to climb back into the red band would make upward moves harder and likely sap momentum. Gooner used blunt language, saying “Dead unless it reclaims red” unless the token reclaims the zone. The phrase was repeated widely, feeding both bearish calls and pushback from supporters. Community Response And Roadmap Calls Across social threads, many users argued that SHIB is not unique; several altcoins appear stalled in the current phase. A number of holders said SHIB’s recovery chances may hinge on a wider altcoin rebound, sometimes called altcoin season. According to Zach Humphries, members of the Shiba Inu project must refocus every ecosystem initiative around SHIB, reposition the token to attract renewed retail interest, and publish a clear, actionable roadmap to restore earlier momentum. Bitcoin’s Role In A Possible Comeback Some analysts pointed to Bitcoin as the likely spark for any broad recovery, expecting the alpha coin to rebound toward $125,000 from around $90,000, while others have projected a new peak near $150,000 in 2026. If Bitcoin climbs above $100,000, traders say speculative flows could return and lift meme tokens including SHIB. Related Reading: NFT Slump Worsens With Monthly Sales Hitting Rock Bottom Price Snapshot And What Comes Next Short-term price moves show SHIB up 0.95% in the past 24 hours but down 4.8% over the last week. Many market observers emphasize that a return into the highlighted $0.000014–$0.00001 area would improve technical odds for a rally. At the same time, others warn that even with historical liquidity and a large community, reclaiming a broken support is often difficult and can take time. The coming weeks will likely test whether market-wide momentum or renewed project direction can change SHIB’s path. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

According to trading records and company filings, Grayscale’s new spot Dogecoin ETF — ticker GDOG — opened quietly, pulling in just $1.4 million in trading volume on its first day on NYSE Arca. Related Reading: Fear Surges, But Real XRP Holders Aren’t Shaken—Analyst Muted Debut On NYSE Arca Reports have disclosed that the debut fell well short of some public forecasts. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas had suggested the fund might see roughly $10–12 million in opening-day volume, a target that the actual figures did not meet. That gap has drawn quick commentary from traders and analysts, who say the launch exposure was smaller than expected for a high-profile first spot product. Grayscale’s paperwork shows the ETF began life with holdings of about 11 million DOGE and roughly 94,700 shares outstanding, with assets under management reported at roughly $1.7 million at the time the fund started trading. The sponsor set a management fee of 0.35%, but that charge is being waived — the fund will carry a 0% expense ratio either until it reaches $1 billion in assets or for the first three months, whichever happens first. $GDOG (first Doge ETF) saw $1.4m volume on Day One.. solid for an avg launch but low for a ‘first-ever spot’ product. Not too surprising tho, we actually made a rhyme a while ago predicting this: ‘The further away you get from BTC, the less asset there will be.’ pic.twitter.com/ermlOcID1J — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) November 25, 2025 Market Shifts To Other Altcoins Based on reports from market trackers, other recent altcoin ETFs saw stronger early demand, leaving GDOG’s debut looking muted by comparison. Some XRP and Solana vehicles drew faster inflows during their openings, and that contrast has been used to explain why meme-coin exposure did not attract as much fresh cash on day one. Traders say that where money goes now may reflect a preference for certain tokens over meme-style names in regulated wrappers. What Investors Are Watching Next Observers note a few things to watch: whether the fee waiver helps the fund gather assets in the coming weeks, how DOGE’s market price behaves as more products list, and whether competing Dogecoin ETFs — including a product from Bitwise — change the flows. Related Reading: Bitcoin Creator Somehow Becomes ‘Poor’ By Losing $41 Billion Without Saying A Word Some analysts are watching short term creation and redemption activity and the order books around the ETF to judge real demand versus headline interest. Dogecoin’s spot market showed mild movement after the listing, trading near $0.15 as the ETF opened. That price action suggests traders reacted but did not rush in, and it leaves the question of long-term institutional appetite open. Based on the data so far, GDOG’s quiet first day is a clear signal that listing alone does not guarantee big capital flows. The next few weeks — when the fee waiver is still active and competing listings arrive — will be key to see whether the fund can widen its reach or remain a subdued debut in a busy ETF calendar.

American Bitcoin, the Nasdaq-listed mining and treasury firm backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has raised its Bitcoin stash to 4,000 BTC, worth about $415 million, according to a company announcement released Friday. Related Reading: XRP On Fire: Over 21,000 New Wallets Appear In 48 Hours The firm purchased nearly 170 BTC between October 24 and November 5, a haul valued at more than $14 million at current market rates. American Bitcoin Boosts Holdings Eric Trump, listed as co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, said the company is growing its stock of Bitcoin through a mix of scaled mining operations and market purchases. Reports have disclosed that this size of accumulation puts American Bitcoin at about the 25th spot among corporate Bitcoin holders, based on data from Bitcointreasuries.net. The Michael Saylor-led Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) remains far ahead as the largest corporate holder with more than 641,000 BTC on its books, worth around $66 billion. Trump-Linked Ventures Report Large Crypto Gains Based on reports, members of the Trump family have collected roughly $1 billion in pre-tax gains over the last year from a range of crypto projects. Those projects include memecoins such as TRUMP and MELANIA, which together reportedly brought in about $427 million, plus the WLFI token with about $550 million in gains. Reports also point to big outside backers. Chinese entrepreneur Justin Sun is reported to have invested $75 million in WLFI, while Abu Dhabi’s MGX fund is said to have provided $2 billion to Binance using the USD1 stablecoin. The family’s various ventures have pushed their combined crypto exposure into the multi-billion dollar range. Mining Margins Squeeze Firms After Halving Miners across the sector are feeling pressure after the 2024 Bitcoin halving cut block rewards from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. That change tightened profit margins, forcing some operators to seek new revenue streams, including AI-focused computing services. American Bitcoin’s model ties mining and treasury accumulation together, but the economics for smaller miners are getting tougher.

A sudden disclosure by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao set off a sharp move in Aster’s token price and trading patterns. Related Reading: Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says According to reports, Zhao said he personally owns just over 2 million ASTER tokens — a holding that has been valued at about $2.5 million in coverage of the event. That admission prompted a rapid buying wave and heavy media noise, with traders and observers trying to sort what the move means for the project and the broader4 market. Aster Trading Activity On Fire As Price Rises Based on reports, ASTER climbed from roughly $0.91 to a peak near $1.26 on the day the disclosure hit newsfeeds. Volume also surged: one snapshot put 24-hour turnover at around $224 million before the announcement and at more than $2 billion afterward. Platform metrics moved too; total value locked on the Aster system reached about $1 billion dollars in recent updates. Market watchers pointed out that those jumps happened within hours of Zhao’s statement, pushing the token into headlines and onto many traders’ watchlists. Full disclosure.

BNB (@cz_binance) November 2, 2025 Supply Concerns And Background Ties Reports have disclosed that Aster’s circulating supply stands at about 2 billion tokens while total supply is 8 billion. That gap has raised alarms among analysts who say future token unlocks could add selling pressure. At the same time, discussion has grown about whether Zhao’s stake represents a purely personal bet or something tied to past venture ties, like connections to YZi Labs (previously Binance Labs). Some community voices welcomed the vote of confidence, while others urged caution and more disclosure about timing and intent. Whales, Shorts And The Need For Transparency Traders already placed big bets in both directions after the pop. Some large holders were reported to be taking profits, while short sellers were opening positions on the belief that the rally could be fleeting. Based on reports, competition with other derivatives and exchange projects — names like Hyperliquid were mentioned in analyst commentary — will test whether Aster can keep user interest beyond the headlines. Observers also flagged that massive daily volume spikes are often followed by quick retracement if underlying usage does not grow. Related Reading: XRP’s Next Earthquake: Billions Set To Flow In, ‘Supply Shock’ Coming—Analyst Volume, Unlock Schedules, And Product Signals Investors and reporters will be watching three main things: whether high trading volume holds up, how many tokens are set to unlock and hit markets, and whether the project builds real, steady user activity on its platform.

TIS Inc., Japan’s largest payments processor, has moved into tokenized finance by launching a Multi-Token Platform on Avalanche’s AvaCloud, according to company announcements and industry reports. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally The platform is built to support stablecoins, tokenized deposits and digital securities for banks and large firms. This is a step that could change how some institutional payments settle inside Japan. TIS Brings Existing Scale To Tokens According to filings and company material, TIS’s PayCierge system now handles more than ¥300 trillion in annual B2C payments. That figure could top ¥1,000 trillion if more B2B and payroll flows move on-chain, based on the firm’s internal forecasts. TIS is not small: it handles nearly half of domestic credit card processing and supports more than 80% of branded debit accounts. Reports show 11 of Japan’s leading 25 credit card issuers use TIS systems, which together serve nearly 200 million customers. Those ties give the new token platform a ready set of potential partners.

(@avax) October 28, 2025 Why The Cloud Chain Was Chosen Reports have disclosed that TIS opted to use AvaCloud so it can deploy blockchains without building and running its own infrastructure. AvaCloud is described as offering automated scaling, real-time governance features and the reliability needed for regulated finance. https://t.co/gNU4ZrcK8r — Avalanche???? (@avax) October 28, 2025 Avalanche’s fast finality and cross-chain tools were cited as reasons TIS can aim for real-time, programmable settlement between institutions. The move means responsibility for the underlying cloud and node operations will be shared with the Avalanche service. Links To Yen Stablecoins And Reserve Models JPYC has put forward what it calls the first fully redeemable yen-backed stablecoin, claiming backing from domestic deposits and Japanese government bonds (JGBs). JPYC has said it charges no transaction fees and that it earns revenue from JGB interest. That kind of model is one of the examples of how tokenized yen instruments might be structured on platforms such as TIS’s. What This Could Mean For Banks And Corporates Banks and corporations may be able to run tokenized deposits or securities on the Multi-Token Platform if they join pilots or production programs. That said, adoption will require clear rules about backing, custody and how tokens are redeemed into yen. Some of these details are being discussed now between issuers, service providers and market observers.

At the same time, Ripple’s move to acquire GTreasury for $1 billion has been highlighted by some analysts as a step closer to the $120 trillion corporate treasury market. Those developments, taken together, are keeping optimism alive among traders and community figures. Analyst Claims Accelerated Timeline According to social posts and comment threads, the analyst known as 24hrscrypto1 told followers “something big is going on” and reiterated a previously stated $100 target for XRP, while suggesting the date might come sooner than the earlier claim of by 2030. At current trading near $2.60, reaching $100 would represent roughly a 4,000% increase from today’s level. Other commentators have offered similar high-end ranges. Something big is going on.. All I can say is, we will see a $100 XRP way before 2030 ???? — ???????????????????????????????????????????? (@24hrscrypto1) October 17, 2025 For example, CryptoCharged COO Matthew Brienen has described a $100–$1,000 band as “highly possible” inside a five to 10 year span, citing use cases in cross-border payments. Wealth mentor Linda Jones has used a personal example to make a point: a $100 investment once bought about 400 XRP at $0.25 each, but that same $100 today would buy fewer than 35 XRP, a detail some see as evidence of growing scarcity. Institutional Accumulation And Supply Concerns Some observers argue that steady buying by banks and funds has been taking place behind the scenes during volatile stretches. If large holders continue to add positions and trading liquidity thins, the market could face a supply-demand imbalance that would push prices higher quickly. That is the basic line supporting ultra-ambitious forecasts. Yet whether institutions will hold XRP long term or use it actively in payments remains a crucial unknown that would determine how the story actually plays out. Market Moves And Community Momentum Social voices continue to matter. A prominent community commentator using the name UnknowDLT has described XRP as one of the major opportunities for this generation and the next, language that keeps retail interest high. XRP will end up being one of the greatest opportunities of not only our life time, but many to come. — {x} (@unknowDLT) October 28, 2025 At the same time, volatility is real: earlier this month XRP dropped to roughly $1.20 during a broader market pullback, showing how fast gains can be wiped out when conditions change.

Dogecoin moved past the $0.20 mark as crypto markets showed a mild rebound. According to market feeds, DOGE traded around $0.20261 at one check, and later reached $0.21 after a small uptick.

On the upside, some market watchers list $0.25 as the next meaningful barrier, and a run toward $0.26+ has been floated as a possible target if momentum builds. On the flip side, a drop below $0.18 could open the door to further losses and bring the consolidation phase back into focus. Market Sentiment Remains Mixed Reports have disclosed that DOGE advanced 1.35% to $0.21 during the session, marking its first close above the $0.2026 resistance level since August. Still, a number of indicators suggest the move is tentative. Volume gains and whale interest are positive signs, but analysts are waiting for confirmation from price action and higher volume on a breakout. What Could Go Wrong There are risks. The triangle pattern can break to the downside as easily as it can break up, and the current momentum readings are moderate rather than strong. If selling pressure mounts or if large wallets begin to shift coins back to exchanges, gains could be reversed quickly. Also, wider market swings in Bitcoin or Ethereum would likely pull DOGE along.

Traders should watch $0.22 closely; a clean break with above-average volume would increase the odds of a move toward $0.25 and beyond. If that level does not hold, the market may settle back into the $0.18–$0.22 range for a while longer. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
A Washington, D.C. statue of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao became the center of a memecoin frenzy after the “czstatue” token surged 27,000% in a day before collapsing to near zero.
Dogecoin saw a sharp jump in trading activity on Tuesday, but prices did not follow immediately. Volume over the last 24 hours rose by 60%, pushing total traded value above $2 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. Related Reading: $10K Is Coming: Arthur Hayes’ Zcash ‘Vibe Check’ Sparks 30% Moonshot Yet the token traded near $0.21 at the time of the report, down about 0.18% in the day and down 12% so far this month. Trading Volume Surges According to CoinMarketCap data, the sudden spike in volume shows many more hands moving DOGE than usual. Reports have disclosed that this wave of trades coincides with renewed interest among retail buyers and larger holders. Data shows that October has historically been a strong month for Dogecoin, with modest gains of 30% to a more impressive 101% from 2021 up to 2024. Those past returns help explain why some traders expect a positive close this month. Whales Move, Exchanges See Flow Reports have disclosed several large transfers tied to the surge. One report described a dormant whale with a 36 DOGE seed reactivating and making a transfer valued at $26.8 million to Binance. Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15.115 million DOGE, valued at about $2.95 million, out of the same exchange. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up. Another dormant wallet reportedly moved 15 million DOGE, valued at about nearly $3 million, out of Binance. These movements drew attention because big transfers can change where liquidity sits and how quickly prices move when buying or selling picks up. Macro Drivers And Market Sentiment The volume surge came as major cryptocurrencies showed strength. Reports have disclosed Bitcoin moving higher toward $115,000 while Ethereum traded near $4,200. That broader rally can lift smaller tokens as traders rotate capital across markets. Still, metrics are mixed: one recent forecast predicted DOGE could rise by 13% to $0.22 by November 27, 2025, while technical indicators flagged the current sentiment as Bearish and the Fear & Greed Index sat at 50. Outlook And Risks Ahead The picture is straightforward and messy at the same time. Higher volume suggests interest; price action says caution. Whale transfers can both fuel rallies and add selling pressure, depending on intent.

The price move came hours after President Donald Trump said he expected to get a trade deal done with China soon.
For a market supposedly in a bull run, it doesn’t feel like one. Sure, Bitcoin may have set a couple of record highs this cycle, but the rallies have been uneventfully yawn-inducing, and the corrections have been savage. Altcoins are down 90% or more. Retail has vanished. And even the diehards are wondering if this […]
