When two former crypto rivals kiss on an ADA–SOL bridge, it smells like strategy… or a plot to dethrone Ethereum quietly, under Bitcoin's watchful eyes.

Global crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw a sharp pullback last week amid a return to regulatory uncertainty. New data from CoinShares shows investors withdrew nearly $1 billion, ending a three-week streak of inflows. Delays around the U.S. Clarity Act played a key role in weakening sentiment, especially among U.S.-based institutions. Market activity also pointed to rising caution around large holders and near-term policy risks.

Memecoin trading on Solana is under new legal scrutiny after investors accused several crypto firms of operating an unfair trading system.

In 2025, institutional money flees Bitcoin and Ethereum to rush towards XRP and Solana, with record ETF flows exceeding one billion dollars. Why this historic turnaround? The data reveal an irreversible trend: investors now bet on crypto assets with concrete utility, not speculation.

Financial products backed by XRP have just crossed the one billion dollar mark in assets under management. For several weeks, inflows have accelerated, driven by renewed institutional interest. In a market dominated by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the growth of Ripple's asset surprises by its consistency. This movement contrasts with capital outflows observed elsewhere, signaling a discreet but firm repositioning of investors towards an asset long kept in the background.

Brazil did not wait for crypto to fall in line. It simply decided to open the official path for it. With the arrival of the Solana (VSOL) product on the B3, the country’s main stock exchange, the Brazilian market takes a step forward, that of assumed regulated crypto. And for Valour, the DeFi Technologies subsidiary, this is much more than a simple launch. It is a signal addressed to an entire continent.

Solana is not collapsing but shows a clear cooling in the crypto market. SOL lost 52% between September 18 and November 21, in a context where altcoins have dropped. The key point is not just the price drop towards a possible 80 dollar scenario, it is the simultaneous decline of on-chain indicators, which suggests a real decrease in usage and engagement on the network.

The case quickly took a diplomatic turn. After the hacking of Upbit, one of the largest South Korean crypto exchanges, Binance finds itself at the center of a controversy: some investigators in Seoul claim that the platform only froze a small portion of the stolen funds. Binance, on the other hand, strongly disputes this version and assures it acted immediately.

While Solana is losing ground in the crypto market, its ETFs show an unprecedented series of seven days of net inflows. In a downtrend, this institutional flow is intriguing: why inject so much capital into a declining asset? This contrast, between disinterest in the spot and enthusiasm for regulated products, raises questions about the real perception of the Solana project and its medium-term prospects.

Solana falters. Long presented as one of Ethereum’s most serious competitors, the blockchain today faces a significant decline in its fundamentals: liquidity drop, user disengagement, innovation slowdown. After months of euphoria, the ecosystem shows clear signs of slowdown.

Bhutan is pushing its digital economy forward by placing portions of its traditional reserves on blockchain infrastructure.

These companies thought they were riding the bitcoin wave, but they are drowning in their own debts. The crypto king is nosediving, and the kings of leverage are getting slapped.

Solana’s lending sector is dealing with one of its most visible internal disputes of the year, raising concerns about how public conflicts may affect trust in the ecosystem. A tense exchange between Kamino Finance and Jupiter Lend has now pulled in Solana Foundation president Lily Liu, who urged both projects to direct their energy toward growing Solana’s overall lending market.

BPCE, a heavyweight in the French banking sector, launches its crypto trading service this week through its mobile applications. A revolution: buying Bitcoin will become as easy as checking your balance.

While Bitcoin is leading a new rally, Solana sends a much more puzzling signal: capital is exiting ETFs but continues to flow on the blockchain. On one side, 21Shares sees its TSOL crypto ETF lose $42M. On the other, over $321M redeploy directly on-chain on Solana. An apparent contradiction that says a lot about the real state of the market.

While many eyes remain fixed on Bitcoin and Ether, Solana is currently playing a much subtler game. The SOL crypto still holds above the 120 dollar area, but this level is not just a technical support: it is supported by a real shift in liquidity and on-chain supply. However, trader-side demand remains surprisingly timid. And as long as this gap persists, Solana's structural advantage is not fully reflected in the price.

Kalshi is pushing prediction markets further into the crypto space as global demand accelerates. Rising interest in event-based trading has prompted the platform to tokenize event contracts on Solana, giving users more in sensitive markets. Analysts say this shift could position Kalshi to challenge competitors and keep pace with the industry’s rapid growth.
