Solana Outflows Hit All-Time High At $39M, SOL ETF In Jeopardy?
Solana (SOL) outflows surged to an all-time high of $39 million last week. This development comes amid broader market movements influenced by recent macroeconomic data. Moreover, it may exacerbate regulatory uncertainties surrounding the spot Solana ETF applications by VanEck and 21Shares.
Solana Outflows Surge Unprecedentedly
The gigantic Solana outflows have raised eyebrows across the crypto community. The $39 million negative flow marks the highest on record for SOL investment products, according to CoinShares. This outflow is attributed to a sharp decline in trading volumes of meme coins, a segment on which SOL heavily relies.
While Solana grappled with record outflows, other cryptocurrencies experienced varied fortunes. Overall, digital asset investment products saw minor inflows totaling $30 million last week. However, this modest figure conceals significant disparity among different assets and regions.
Bitcoin (BTC) emerged as the most significant beneficiary, attracting inflows totaling $42 million. This indicates sustained investor confidence in spot Bitcoin ETFs, BTC price. Conversely, short-Bitcoin ETPs saw outflows for the second consecutive week, amounting to $1 million. This suggests that investors are less inclined to bet against BTC’s performance in the current market climate.
Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) recorded inflows of $4.2 million amid Solana outflows. However, this figure masks a flurry of activity between providers. New entrants into the Ethereum ETF space saw substantial inflows of $104 million. However, asset manager Grayscale’s ETH products experienced significant outflows totaling $118 million.
SOL ETF Approval Faces Trouble
Amid the Solana outflows, the uncertainty surrounding SOL ETF prospects has added to the negative sentiment. Recently, VanEck and 21Shares’ SOL ETF filings were removed from the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) website. This move sparked concerns about the regulatory approval and future of these investment products.
It fueled speculation about the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) stance on these products. Earlier, both companies had filed S-1 forms for spot Solana ETFs in late June. This followed increased clarity on approvals for nine spot Ethereum ETFs by the SEC.
However, the SEC did not issue notices of filings for these SOL ETFs. Hence, leading industry experts debated on whether the 19b-4 filings were withdrawn or rejected. For context, the 19b-4 submission is a critical step in the ETF approval process.
The filing informs the SEC of a proposed rule change by a self-regulatory organization such as an exchange. After such filings, the SEC typically opens a 240-day window to make a decision.
Scott Johnsson, General Counsel at Van Buren Capital, offered a negative comment on the situation. He stated, “I’m assuming Gary [Gensler] notified Cboe that these SOL applications were improperly filed as Commodity-Based Trust Shares because he thinks SOL isn’t a commodity, which obviates the need for the SEC to provide a formal written disapproval order.”
Whilst, Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, also confirmed the removal of the ETF filings. Furthermore, he expressed skepticism about the approval of SOL ETFs under the current regulatory environment. Also, the latest Solana outflows have led to heightened uncertainty as interest in SOL investment products diminish.
Earlier, Matthew Sigel, VanEck’s Head of Digital Assets Research, criticized U.S. regulators for lagging behind countries like Brazil, which have approved spot SOL ETF. He suggested that the U.S. needs a regulatory “soft fork” for Solana ETF approval.

Dogecoin Fractal Points To A Potential Breakout, Can It Reach A New ATH?
The Dogecoin price has entered another stage of bullish momentum that has reignited inflows from traders. Notably, the DOGE price has surged by about 16.3% over the past 24 hours. This surge has brought into focus the possibility of the DOGE price reaching a new all-time high this year.
Interestingly, a crypto analyst on the social media platform X has highlighted a bullish fractal that could push the Dogecoin price on a parabolic run.
Dogecoin Fractal Points To New ATH
Master Kenobi shared his analysis of the Dogecoin price action on X. In his post, Kenobi outlined a fractal setup, suggesting that DOGE is on the verge of a significant breakout. Kenobi attributed the fractal formation to the consolidation that began after the DOGE price reached $0.43
A bullish fractal is a pattern that suggests an upward reversal in price. This pattern, which occurs during price consolidations, is characterized by a middle bar that has the lowest low, flanked by higher lows on each side.
Kenobi’s analysis was accompanied by a DOGE chart on the four-hour candlestick timeframe. The chart revealed that a similar fractal had occurred during the first week of November. At that time, Dogecoin was consolidating after an initial surge past the $0.20 mark. This consolidation phase, much like the current one, was marked by low volatility and steady accumulation. However, the November fractal ultimately resolved with an explosive 115% rally over six days.
Drawing parallels with the November setup, Kenobi predicted that the Dogecoin price could replicate this outcome and create a new all-time high in the next three days. In terms of a price target, a breakout would see the DOGE price reaching the $0.74 mark, which would put it above its current all-time high of $0.7316.
What’s Next For The Dogecoin Price?
The prospect of a new all-time high for the Dogecoin price is gaining ground with each passing day, especially with the price action in the past 24 hours. At the time of the analysis, the DOGE price was trading at $0.41. Interestingly, the Dogecoin price has surged to $0.46 at the time of writing, which indicates that the bullish fractal breakout has happened.
DOGE, which started November at $0.1616, is already up by about 230% in the past 30 days. Many on-chain data and price patterns point to a continued price increase, at least in the next few days and weeks. Ali Martinez, a popular crypto analyst, suggested that the Dogecoin price is in the middle of a bullish breakout to $0.82. If the price target is achieved, this would represent a further 78% gain from the current price.

BTC Continues To Soar, Ripple’s XRP Bullish
The crypto universe has concluded yet another week, primarily with riveting developments unfolding across the broader sector. Bitcoin (BTC) continues to pump, hitting a new ATH this week. Simultaneously, Ripple’s XRP garnered significant market attention, recording considerable gains. The broader market continues to leverage investor optimism post-U.S. elections that saw Donald Trump reelected as the president.
Here’s a brief collection of some of the top cryptocurrency market headlines that have significantly impacted investor sentiment over the past seven days.
BTC Hits New ATH Amid Bull Crypto Market
BTC price hit a new ATH near the $100K level this week, echoing a buzz across the broader sector. Notably, the flagship coin gained roughly 10% over the past week to hit an ATH of $99,655. Attributable to this bullish movement post-U.S. elections, Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki shared a bold prediction for the coin, anticipating its price to hit $13 million.
Simultaneously, the crypto also saw heightened institutional interest amid its bullish movement, underscoring the potential for further gains. Aligning with this heightened market interest, biopharmaceutical firm Hoth Therapeutics forged ahead with BTC buying plans, sparking additional optimism surrounding the crypto.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin miner MARA completed its $1 billion private offering this week, with some of the proceeds set to be used to buy more BTC. Overall, the flagship coin leveraged significant buying pressure this week, paving a bullish path for future movements.
Ripple’s XRP Steals Attention
On the other hand, XRP’s price witnessed gains worth 40% over the past week, cementing investor optimism amid a bullish digital asset sector. Notably, XRP whales accumulated nearly $526M worth of the token this week, indicating that the Ripple-backed coin could pump higher. Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicted amid this bullish movement that a parabolic rally for the crypto also lies ahead.
Further, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse conveyed bullish sentiments on XRP and a possible end to the SEC lawsuit, primarily attributable to the newly appointed U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Simultaneously, the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit saw the regulator and FINRA trying to bring “digital asset securities” claims. This mover comes against the backdrop of XRP’s rally to $1, with speculations of a looming $2 target on SEC Chair Garu Gensler’s exit.
Overall, these market updates have sparked significant investor enthusiasm over the crypto realm’s future action, with market watchers being optimistic.

XRP Price To $28: Wave Analysis Reveals When It Will Reach Double-Digits
Crypto analyst Behdark has predicted that the XRP price can reach $28. This prediction follows his Elliot Wave theory analysis, which also showed when the crypto will reach this double-digit price target.
When XRP Price Will Reach Double Digits
In a TradingView post, Behdark’s Elliot Wave theory analysis showed that the XRP price can reach double digits by 2026. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the first double digits target for XRP will be $15, after which the crypto could eventually rally to $28. Behdark also provided more insights into XRP’s current price action and why this rally could happen.
First, the analyst mentioned that the XRP price looks to be currently within a running triangle. In line with this, Behdark remarked that wave D might complete its movement by hunting the all-time high (ATH) at $3.84. He mentioned that there could be a price correction for wave E afterward.
Once that XRP price correction happens, Behdrak predicts the next move will be the post-pattern movement targeting a level above $15. This is where the price target of $28 comes into the picture, as the analyst’s accompanying chart shows it is a feasible target for the crypto, although it might not happen in this market cycle.
An XRP price rally to $28 would mean that the crypto would have a market cap of $2.8 trillion. However, Behdrak suggested that this was still feasible. He noted that his focus was on chart analysis and not fundamentals, even though fundamentals are reflected in the chart itself.
Meanwhile, the analyst told market participants that if a clear and identifiable pattern emerges when the XRP price reaches wave E of the triangle, they could position themselves for the main move to double digits.
A Confirmation Of This Double Digit Target
Crypto analyst Dark Defender also recently shared an Elliot Wave theory analysis, which showed that the XRP price could indeed reach double digits. Specifically, the analyst’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could rally as high as $18 when the wave 5 impulsive move occurs.
Interestingly, unlike Behdark’s chart, which showed that the rally to double digits would happen in 2026, Dark Defender’s chart showed that the rally to $18 could happen as early as mid-2025. Meanwhile, the analyst said that the XRP price is currently in the third wave, with the crypto expected to rally to $5 when this next impulsive move occurs.
Afterward, the XRP price is expected to witness a corrective move that will cause it to drop to as low as $4. The next impulsive move after this could send XRP to the $18 target.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $1.55, up over 10% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
