$GRVT Altcoins fall below pre-ETF launch prices Thin investment narrative holds them back “Long-term ETF outlook is positive” “Even if altcoin season comes, gains will be selective” A wave of exchange-traded funds tied to major altcoins followed the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, but they have yet to spark a broader market rebound. Most of those tokens are now trading below where they were when their ETFs debuted. As of 1:30 p.m. on Nov. 13, Ethereum was trading at $1,931, up 5.93% from a day earlier, according to CoinMarketCap. That was still about 41.5% below its July 23, 2024 level of $3,340, when spot Ethereum ETFs began trading in the US. Solana has followed a similar path. The token was trading at $79 at the same time, down more than 60% from about $199 on Oct. 28, 2025, when its spot ETF launched. Other altcoins have also failed to benefit from ETF listings. Hedera was down 66% from its ETF launch price, XRP 58%, Dogecoin 56%, Litecoin 51% and Chainlink 27%. That marks a sharp contrast with Bitcoin. The largest cryptocurrency traded at $68,640 at the same time, down 6.71% from a day earlier. While that was 45.5% below its record high of $126,000, it remained 48.4% above $46,300, the price when spot Bitcoin ETFs launched. Excluding an initial dip shortly after listing, Bitcoin has not fallen below that level since. Institutional money crowds into Bitcoin as altcoins lag Data from crypto ETF platform Alpha Finance showed cumulative net inflows into US spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled about $55.13 billion as of Nov. 12. By contrast, spot Ethereum ETFs, which launched the same year, had drawn about $11.61 billion in net inflows. That means institutional money flowing into Bitcoin was roughly five times the amount directed to Ethereum. The gap is even starker when compared with other altcoin ETFs that are in or near their first year on the market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs pulled in about $36.22 billion of net inflows in their first year after launch. XRP and Solana spot ETFs brought in just $1.8 billion and $1.51 billion, respectively, in their first year. Hedera posted net inflows of $116.4 million, while Litecoin brought in $16.6 million and Dogecoin $15.1 million. Unclear narrative and lack of participation from big asset managers A weak and uncertain investment narrative appears to be one reason altcoin ETFs have failed to attract capital on the scale seen in Bitcoin products. Bitcoin has a clearer investment case as “digital gold,” underpinned by its fixed supply cap of 21 million tokens. That makes it easier for institutional investors already familiar with gold to approach the asset. Yoon Seung-sik, a director at Tiger Research, said traditional finance firms and existing investors still have limited understanding of altcoins outside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The lack of information and education needed to generate investment demand is the biggest reason money has flowed only slowly into altcoin ETFs, he said. Altcoins, by contrast, span projects with different technologies and use cases, making it harder to present a consistent investment thesis. Investors can make their own valuation judgments on stocks because they are widely seen as assets representing companies. Tokens have yet to establish that kind of link. During periods of high economic uncertainty, that limitation can weigh even more heavily, Yoon added. Limited participation by large asset managers is also a hurdle for altcoin ETF growth. BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, runs Bitcoin- and Ethereum-related ETFs but has not entered the market for spot altcoin ETFs tied to assets such as XRP and Solana. BlackRock said in August 2025 that it had no plans to launch spot XRP or Solana ETFs. At the time, the firm cited limited customer demand for digital assets other than Bitcoin and Ethereum. Eric Balchunas, a Bloomberg ETF analyst, said BlackRock appears satisfied with just two crypto ETFs for now. There is little incentive to add more products, he said. ETFs may gain traction when the market recovers The long-term outlook for altcoin ETFs is not entirely negative. Their launch has at least created a channel for capital from traditional finance to enter the market. Yoon said ETFs themselves are clearly meaningful. With institutional investors playing a larger role in the crypto market, altcoin ETFs could serve as a route for fresh inflows if the market recovers. Still, some analysts say it may be difficult to recreate the kind of altcoin season seen in the past, when most tokens rose together. Blockchain analytics firm Block Scholes said in a recent report that even if another altcoin season emerges, it will likely center on a limited group of digital assets that already have ETFs or are close to getting them. The firm added that the muted impact of altcoin ETF launches reflected broader market weakness and low investor participation. As the ETF market expands, the gap between altcoins that can attract institutional money and those that cannot may widen further.

$GRVT Crypto exchange Gemini has named the 10 biggest altcoin losers of 2026. The list includes major names such as Cardano, XRP, and Dogecoin, all down sharply. Their steep declines reveal how weak liquidity and fading speculation have hit the broader altcoin market. Gemini Reveals the 10 Biggest Altcoin Losers of 2026 In a recent post on X, Gemini ranked the worst-performing altcoins of 2026. Bitcoin Cash leads with a 61.76% drop, followed by Polkadot at 53.03% and Cardano at 48.04%. Meanwhile, XRP ranks fourth with a 43.43% loss. Dogecoin and Sui follow closely, down 42.38% and 42.08%, respectively. Further down, Hedera lost 38.13%, while Solana fell 34.02%. Avalanche and Kaspa complete the list, down 33.40% and 30.75%. Notably, all 10 tokens lost more than 30% this year. Declining liquidity, weaker speculative demand, and lackluster institutional interest drove much of the selloff. biggest losers of 2026 so far$BCH -61.76%$DOT -53.03%$ADA -48.04%$XRP -43.43%$DOGE -42.38%$SUI -42.08%$HBAR -38.13%$SOL -34.02%$AVAX -33.40%$KAS -30.75% — Gemini (@Gemini) November 10, 2026 Interestingly, the ranking includes several large-cap networks, such as Solana and Avalanche. That shows the downturn hit established projects, not just smaller tokens. Why Did These Altcoins Fall So Hard in 2026? Each token faced its own pressure. Bitcoin Cash, for example, is reversing a 2025 rally of about 38%. It also posted back-to-back monthly drops of over 30% in May and June. A September rebound followed CME Group’s announcement of BCH futures. However, that boost failed to stop the broader downtrend. Meanwhile, Cardano continues to struggle with limited DeFi activity. Its total value locked reportedly fell below $50 million as of November 9, according to DefiLlama. XRP faces a different problem. Although Ripple keeps expanding into institutional payments, stablecoins, and tokenization, that growth has not produced sustained buying. In fact, XRP spot trading volume fell 53.5%, while perpetual futures volume dropped 44%. Similarly, Dogecoin suffered as interest in meme coins faded. Bitwise even shut down its Dogecoin ETF in September after it failed to attract investors. Overall, macroeconomic conditions continue to weigh on altcoins. Therefore, many investors remain cautious heading into the final weeks of 2026. A recovery would likely require stronger institutional flows and renewed retail interest.

$GRVT Apex Group now has a voting seat on the Hedera Council.  Apex Group, a fund administrator based in Bermuda, that handles over $3.5 trillion in assets now gets one equal vote on decisions about the Hedera network. Is Apex now on the Hedera Council? Hedera said in a statement published on November 10, 2026, that Apex Group has joined the governing body for the Hedera network. The Hedera council has a maximum of 39 seats, and each member gets an equal vote on software updates and other core decisions for the network.  The official statement says Apex will “explore opportunities to leverage the Hedera network.” It also explains that Apex’s contribution to the Hedera council is its expertise in digital assets and institutional market infrastructure.  Hedera has added several other major names to its council this year, including FedEx (NYSE: FDX), McLaren Racing, and Accenture (NYSE: ACN).  Where has Apex already committed its tokenized assets? Hedera’s statement doesn’t say that Apex Group chose its network because Apex had already announced in March that its main system for managing tokenized funds would be the T-REX Ledger, a blockchain built with Polygon’s CDK and AggLayer tools. Apex CEO Peter Hughes said at the time that the decision would help the company reach its goal of $100 billion in tokenized assets by June 2027. The ledger runs on the ERC-3643 standard which Apex now controls because in May it bought a majority stake in Tokeny, the company behind it. The ERC-3643 standard builds compliance rules into the tokens themselves, making it so only approved users can hold them.  The news of Apex joining the council did little for Hedera’s token, HBAR. Cryptopolitan’s price tracking shows that HBAR traded near $0.066 on Wednesday, down slightly on the day and well below the level HBAR was trading at after Hedera announced that FedEx joined the council earlier in the year.  Don’t just read crypto news.
