Elmnts Launches Tokenized Mineral Rights Investment Fund On Solana
Elmnts officially went live on the Solana blockchain, offering tokenized investment funds tied to mineral rights royalties.
The new platform offers a new investment avenue for retail and institutional traders to participate in high-yield assets with double-digit potential returns and low entry of $1,000 in investments.
Elmnts Makes Investing in Oil and gas Royalties Easy with Tokenization.
Elmnts said that, as a tokenized investment platform, it launched on Solana to facilitate access to funds underpinned by mineral rights royalties.
Royalties represent the passive income streams emanating from resources such as oil or gas extracted from properties owned by the underlying funds. Independently valued, mineral and royalty interests stand at approximately $700 billion.

Its launch underlined a growing role of Solana in the tokenized investment area, allowing investors to tap into a new direction that, up until this point, had not been accessible and yielded high returns.
The first beta release of Elmnts will grant access to investment opportunities in oil and gas royalties solely to its registered users, and it will soon expand to other commodities. Founders include Erich Schmidt, COO; Odai Ammar, CEO; Elias Moreno, CTO; James Pacheco, CPO; and developer Leonardo Galante.
Elmnts allows retail and institutional investors to learn about and invest in mineral rights-based tokenized funds. Double-digit yields are promised, and the minimum investment is US$1,000. One fund is offered at the moment, but more will be added soon.
Democratizing Access to High-Yield Investments
Elmnts increase liquidity and access to high-yielding assets previously unreachable by investors.
Mineral rights royalties guarantee long-term stable income from oil and gas, yet the general investment world is virtually unaware and untapped by them.
The platform, based on Solana, will be globally accessible; however, the accessibility of certain funds can also depend on the investor’s location. Indeed, the fast-growing trend of tokenized investment funds has seen the rapid expansion of various real-world assets getting tokenized for easier investor participation.
However, the last few days were not as good for SOL as one would think. The token price declined by 1.56% immediately after the Pump Fun Fee Account sold 40,000 SOL worth $6.68 million. The sale increased the market’s fears about Solana’s further price movement.
Tokenized Finance Takes Off: BlackRock Leads the Way
BlackRock launched the fully digitally native investment product, the USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund, based on tokenized US Treasury Bills. In no time, it grew to become the biggest tokenized investment fund, with more than $550 million managed across, says Etherscan.
This move underlines a growing trend in tokenized finance as other significant firms enter the space. Last September, Guggenheim Treasury Securities teamed up with Zeconomy to launch a digital commercial paper fund. Midas also launched two tokenized investment products, mTBill and mBasis, which post more diversification in digital asset investment.
The tokenization of such real-world assets like RWAs, which range from mineral royalties, is one path in nascent growth for the manners through which tokenization can ensure better liquidity, reduce costs, and open up hitherto illiquid investments.
Tokenization on the blockchain provides fractional ownership and, thus, continuous trading. Crypto enthusiasts hailed this as an essential step in changing financial markets forever, and Elmnts here is one of the ways to do that.
The SOL price stood at $156.17, up 1,76%. Some analysts think it could enjoy a 26x increase from its current price and rise to as high as $4,500. This is based on an analysis of a cup and handle pattern that just formed on the coin’s chart.

Arthur Hayes Shills Another Solana Meme Coin, Price Rallies
BitMEX co-founder and crypto millionaire Arthur Hayes has shilled another Solana meme coin to his followers. As expected, the coin’s price rallied following Hayes’ mention of the coin in an X post.
Arthur Hayes Shills FLOWER Meme Coin
In an X post, Arthur Hayes shared the Dextool profile of the FlowerAI (FLOWER) meme coin with the caption “kek.” Given Hayes’ status in the crypto community, this post was enough to send the meme coin’s price soaring.
When he made the post, FLOWER’s price was $0.02232, but the coin’s price has since spiked and is now above $0.03. The coin’s market cap was $22 million at the time but is now at $30 million following the price rally.
Arthur Hayes’ post has drawn criticism. Some of his followers questioned why someone of his repute was shilling a low-cap coin. Meanwhile, some accused him of intentionally trying to pump and dump the coin on his followers.
Besides shilling top SOL meme coins like Dogwifhat (WIF) in the past, Hayes has also dabbled into low and mid-cap coins. There was a point where he mentioned that he bought the MOTHER and MOG tokens. He also bet Solana AI meme coin Goatseus Maximus (GOAT).
Meanwhile, more recently, the Solana meme coin Deep Worm Price skyrocketed 180% after Hayes shilled it and asserted that the coin would reach a billion market cap. When he shilled the coin, WORM had a market cap of $55 million. However, following the pump, WORM’s market cap has since dropped to $41 million.
Solana Meme Coin Ecosystem Presents A Huge Boost
While Arthur Hayes continues to shill Solana meme coins, there is no doubt about the positive impact these coins have had on Solana and the SOL price. The SOL price recently hit a new all-time high (ATH) of $263, and this development is thanks to the increased demand for the coin among traders looking to invest in meme coins on the network.
The Solana network has also continued to record massive trading volume thanks to its meme coin ecosystem. For context, Solana is currently leading all other chains, including Ethereum, in terms of decentralized exchange (DEX) volume.
DeFiLlama data shows that the network has recorded a DEX volume of $44 billion and $5 billion in the last seven days and 24 hours, respectively. Ethereum comes in a distant second with $17 billion and $2.9 billion recorded during these periods.
With stakeholders in the crypto industry like Arthur Hayes shilling these Solana meme coins, the Solana network will unlikely continue to enjoy more trading volume as more investors also look to trade these coins.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to X to express his satisfaction with Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. He said “I don’t want to get too far ahead of myself but… Scott Bessent is the perfect pick.” He claims Bessent will be the most pro-innovation, pro-crypto Treasury Secretary ever seen.
Other crypto executives and experts including Charles Hoskinson, John Deaton, Matthew Sigel, and David Bailey reacted positively.
Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton said the Trump transition team now needs to get “SEC Chair right, we are about to enter the Digital Age of Innovation.” Meanwhile, Pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan predicted a potential conclusion timeline for Ripple SEC case.

Dogecoin Whales Reactivate After Spending $214.5 Million To Buy 550 Million DOGE
Dogecoin whales are on a significant accumulation spree, as reports reveal that these large-scale token holders have bought over 550 million DOGE tokens. This massive accumulation trend comes as analysts predict that DOGE may be preparing for a major price leap.
Dogecoin Whales Go On Massive Buying Trend
Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has revealed that over the past week, large-scale token holders, often called “whales,” have purchased more than 550 million DOGE tokens, valued at an impressive $214.5 million. Although Martinez made this announcement in an X (formerly Twitter) post on November 21, this news was initially reported by Santiment, a market intelligence platform.
The recent surge in whale accumulation has put significant buying pressure on DOGE, highlighting the increased investor demand and interest. Notably, this increase in whale activity comes as the DOGE price has recorded significant gains this month.
Historically, large scale whale movements have often aligned with significant shifts in the Dogecoin price. Earlier this month, there was an increase in whale activity as Dogecoin’s value soared above $0.3. While the unexpected price spike led to increased selling pressure, it appears whales are returning and are buying into DOGE in droves.
As the number one meme coin, DOGE has already gained a massive following and a supportive community, which have contributed to its popularity, widespread adoption, and increase in value. Recently, the Dogecoin price recorded double-digit gains as news of SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (D.O.G.E) proposal spread.
Moreover, the positive market sentiment from Donald Trump’s win in the US Presidential election also served as a bullish catalyst for the DOGE price. With all these market rallying factors in place, whales appear to be hedging their bets in preparation for a potential price surge.
This spike in whale activity can also be seen as IntoTheBlock reports that approximately 60.9 billion DOGE tokens have been moved around by whales in the past week. This massive spike in large transaction volume represents $23.35 billion.
Analysts have also predicted that once the DOGE price breaks past resistance levels around $0.4, the cryptocurrency will enter a major bullish phase. Additionally, analysts forecast that Trump’s upcoming inauguration could further propel Dogecoin’s price, potentially pushing it to the highly coveted $1.
Analyst Predicts Dogecoin Price Pump Above $4
Following Martinez’s post highlighting the significant rise in Dogecoin whale accumulation, crypto analyst Trader Tardigrade suggested that these large-scale holders may be positioning for a 10X surge in the Dogecoin price.
As of writing, DOGE is trading at $0.39; therefore, a 10X surge would push the meme coin towards a $4 price target. Trader Tardigrade has also indicated that if these whales aim for a much larger Dogecoin price spike, then the meme coin could be gearing up for a higher surge above $4.
