Bitcoin- und Ether-ETFs verzeichneten einen weiteren Tag mit hohen Abflüssen, während Solana-ETFs seit ihrer Auflegung einen ununterbrochenen Zufluss verzeichneten.
Meme coin news: DOGE ETF update, LIBRA rallies 80%, Shibarium transactions skyrocket
- Dogecoin exchange-traded fund expected on November 24.
- LIBRA decouples as the team buys the Solana dip.
- Shibarium transactions soar 78%, reflecting renewed user activity.
Virtual currencies displayed bearishness today as Bitcoin eyes further dips below $90,000, with altcoins hinting at further declines.
This article highlights tokens stealing the show in the meme token landscape, specifically Dogecoin, LIBRA, and Shiba Inu.
Grayscale’s DOGE ETF nears launch
The original meme cryptocurrency remains on the crypto community’s radar as debates around Grayscale’s anticipated Dogecoin exchange-traded fund surge.
Bloomberg’s ETF analyst Eric Balchunas expects the product to launch on November 24, citing the SEC guidance. He said:
I believe Grayscale will be out with the first Doge ETF in a week, 11/24. We’ll see, won’t be 100% till exchange notice, but based on SEC guidance, it looks good.

An approval would mark a breakthrough for Dogecoin and the entire meme market.
While these assets often drive the broader cryptocurrency industry, they have faced increasing criticism as they are hype-driven without intrinsic value.
A Dogecoin ETF will magnify the digital token’s visibility and credibility.
Moreover, regulated use cases will catalyze stable growth for DOGE.
The community expects Grayscale’s Dogecoin exchange-traded fund to launch soon.
Altcoin ETFs have gained traction since Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera started the wave on October 28, with approvals now almost a guarantee.
DOGE is trading at $0.1585 after losing 1.20% and 10% in the past 24 hours and week, respectively.
LIBRA skyrockets 100%
While bears rattled the overall cryptocurrency market, LIBRA decoupled with an explosive 103% surge.
It is one of the few tokens with gains today.
The meme’s sharp jump emerged after revelations that the LIBRA team purchased Solana.
According to blockchain investigator Lookonchain, they spent 61.59 million USDC to purchase 456,393 SOL.
The accumulation signaled confidence in Solana’s performance after the alt dropped nearly 15% the previous week.
Therefore, LIBRA’s rally isn’t organic, and the 60% decline in 24-hour trading volume could testify to that.
The themed token will likely erase its gains in the coming sessions, unless trading activity resurges amid improved broader sentiments.
Shibarium transactions jump 78%
Shiba Inu’s L2 scaling solution Shibarium saw an uptick in transactions recently, signaling renewed user activity.
According to Shibariumscan data, the platform’s daily transactions increased from 2.43K on November 16 to 4.33K within 24 hours – a roughly 78% increase.
This comes after Shibarium experienced reduced activity in early last month, with 24-hour transactions plunging to 1,500 on November 5 – a whopping 88% dip from October 24 peaks.
While the layer 2 records notable recoveries, Shiba Inu’s price continued to underperform.
SHIB lost 10% of its value in the last seven days, now trading at $0.000008856.
The alt remained relatively stable in the past 24 hours, shedding 0.95%.
Its trading volume increased by 17% in that timeframe, indicating trader interest.
Meanwhile, broader sentiments continue to influence the performance of meme cryptos.
Selling pressure dominated the crypto landscape as “Extreme Fear” gripped the market.
Nevertheless, Fundstrat’s Tom Lee expects the market to bottom as soon as this week.

Starknet nosedives 20% amid broader crypto crash: is STRK done plummeting?
- Starknet price dropped sharply as top cryptocurrencies tumbled to key support levels.
- On November 18, 2025, STRK plunged nearly 20% to touch lows of $0.17.
- STRK plunged as Bitcoin dropped to lows of $89,500.
Starknet’s native token took a sharp hit as cryptocurrencies bled on Monday, November 17, 2025, with bears extending the dip to Tuesday as STRK plunged nearly 20% to lows of $0.17.
At the time of writing, Starknet traded 14% down in 24 hours at around $0.19. The decline contrasted with gains for Internet Computer, Hyperliquid, and others.
Notably, the altcoin mirrored losses for Zcash, the top privacy coin by market cap, which was also seeing notable profit taking.
Starknet nosedived 20% amid a broader crypto crash
As the crypto market entered freefall on November 17, Starknet price plummeted.
Triggered by a number of factors, including macro jitters and geopolitical tensions, amplified selling pressure across major assets cascaded into altcoins.
For instance, Bitcoin, the bellwether of the market, shed more than 4% to drop to a low of $89,500.
The move saw the global market cap fall to $3.13 trillion. Trading volume rose 45% on Nov. 18 to over $247 billion, with the Ethereum price falling to lows of $3,000.
XRP, BNB, and Solana all recorded significant drops, pushing liquidations to above $1 billion globally.
Starknet, which rose amid recent privacy coin gains, followed suit.
The zero-knowledge proofs-powered layer 2 solution saw its STRK token fall from highs of $0.22 to $0.17. Nosediving 20% allowed bears to erase much of the token’s recent 50% rally.
As the chart below shows, Starknet price recently notched four straight green daily candles as price touched high of $0.24. Following Monday’s dip, weekly gains are currently down to about 22%.
Is STRK done plummeting?
Market observers note that while Starknet’s TVL (total value locked) remains robust at over $340 million, the token’s correlation with Bitcoin, left it exposed to the flagship coin’s volatility.
The timing couldn’t be worse for Starknet.
Just this week, the project announced a multi-million dollar program aimed at Bitcoin staking. The milestone aims to bridge the Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems through Starknet’s BTCFi offering.
As the crypto market dusts off some of the sell-off pressure, finding a floor near the $0.16-$0.17 mark could be crucial for bulls.
If this happens, STRK could eye $0.24 and potentially one year highs above $0.78. The main target in the short term remains the psychological $1 level.
The platform’s Bitcoin integration positions it uniquely for cross-chain growth. Bitcoin DeFi growth, especially as Ethereum’s upgrades enhance layer-2 efficiency, adds to the bullish outlook.
However, in the short term, risks such as a prolonged Bitcoin bear market could allow sellers to seek more pain.
Bulls saw STRK price fall to an all-time low under $0.04 on October 10, 2025. Current prices nevertheless hover about 305% up since.
