Amplify Launches XRP Covered Call ETF with Target Monthly Yield of 3%
According to The Block, Amplify ETFs, which manages over $16 billion in assets, has launched the Amplify XRP 3% Monthly Premium Income ETF (XRPM), which it claims is the first options income ETF based on XRP.
This fund is the latest member of the Amplify YieldSmart product line, which is based on covered call options and aims to combine income generation with partial growth exposure. XRPM targets an annualized options premium of 36% and aims for a 3% monthly yield while still capturing some weekly upside in XRP.
It attempts to achieve this by selling out-of-the-money weekly call options on 30% to 60% of its XRP token exposure while keeping the remaining 40% to 70% unhedged to capture "unlimited" upside potential. Notably, the fund does not directly invest in XRP tokens. This actively managed fund has a management fee of 0.75% and distributes income monthly.

The ETF has recently submitted an 8-A registration statement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the staking services will be implemented through the Orangefin validation node acquired by SOL Strategies last December.
Currently, this Solana asset company's validation node has passed ISO 27001 and SOC 2 certifications, securing over CAD 610 million (approximately USD 437 million) in staked assets.

Saxo Bank: Crypto Sell-off Intensifies as ETF Fund Outflows Surge
According to market news, Saxo Bank strategists stated that due to nearly $900 million in outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto sell-off is accelerating, with the iShares Bitcoin Trust experiencing the most severe outflows. The performance of the iShares Ethereum ETF also remains weak. Uncertainty in Federal Reserve policies, mixed U.S. employment data, and reduced market liquidity have further intensified the sell-off pressure in the crypto market.
Glassnode Co-founder: Bitcoin ETFs Still Maintain Net Gains, Cost Basis Unaffected
Glassnode co-founder Negentropic stated on the X platform that what is happening with Bitcoin now is not a narrative shift but a mechanism "buffer." Currently, ETFs still maintain net gains, and the cost basis has not been affected, although some long-term holders are selling. However, Solana ETF inflows remain stable, and altcoins are performing better relative to BTC and ETH.
Moreover, the overall cycle structure remains intact, with strong ETF and spot demand, and the macroeconomic outlook generally remains neutral to bullish. The market has not capitulated, and the trend has not been broken; when the downward trend eventually exhausts, the rebound could be much larger than the previous decline.
JPMorgan: Retail Sell-off of ETFs is the Main Cause of Bitcoin and Ethereum Price Declines
According to The Block, JPMorgan's latest analysis report indicates that the ongoing adjustment in the crypto market is primarily driven by retail investors selling Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, rather than crypto-native traders.
Data shows that retail investors have withdrawn about $4 billion from crypto ETFs this month, surpassing the historical record set in February. Notably, during the same period, retail enthusiasm for stock ETFs remains strong, with approximately $96 billion inflows in November. If this pace continues, it could reach $160 billion by the end of the month, matching the levels of September and October. This phenomenon indicates that investors still view crypto assets and traditional stocks as different investment categories, and the adjustment in the crypto market does not imply a shift in retail sentiment towards risk assets.
Bitwise CEO: Expecting a New Surge in Crypto ETF Products
According to CNBC, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley stated, "The crypto world is about to experience an ETF feast. I believe over 100 products will be launched. We will see a large number of single-asset crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs). However, what excites me the most is the growth of index-based crypto ETPs."
Despite the challenging market conditions, he still believes that index ETPs will be one of the most important stories in the crypto space next year and will ultimately become one of the largest categories of interest for investors. Hougan added, "This industry will be ten times larger in the future than it is now." Bitwise launched a Solana staking ETF on October 28, which tracks the price of the cryptocurrency Solana.
Analyst: ETF Fund Outflows and Long-term Holder Sell-offs Intensify Bitcoin Selling Pressure
According to The Block, K33 research director Vetle Lunde stated in a new report that perpetual futures traders have increased their open contracts by over 36,000 Bitcoin, marking the largest single-week increase since 2023, while funding rates are also rising, indicating that traders are engaging in "knife-catching" behavior rather than defensive positions.
The rising financing rates may stem from the execution of limit orders that originally hoped for a quick price rebound and a break below the six-month low. However, the rebound has not occurred, and now this leverage effect means excess funds, increasing the risk of market volatility due to liquidations.
Additionally, Bitcoin ETFs have also faced a wave of sell-offs, with related products losing 20,150 Bitcoin in the past week and nearly 40,000 Bitcoin in the last 30 days. Six of the last seven ETF trading days ended with outflows, including a single-day outflow of 10,060 Bitcoin on November 13, which has intensified the selling pressure on Bitcoin.
Bloomberg Analyst: Grayscale Dogecoin ETF Expected to Launch on November 24
Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas stated on the X platform, "Based on a 20-day time cycle, I believe Grayscale will launch its first Dogecoin ETF within a week. It cannot be confirmed 100% until the exchange announces it, but the outlook is optimistic according to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) guidelines."
Arthur Hayes: Inflows into ETFs and DAT Have Ended, Bitcoin Must Fall if Liquidity Cannot Cover
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes stated in a recent post that although dollar liquidity has contracted since April 9, the inflows into ETFs and DAT purchases have allowed Bitcoin to rise, but this situation has now ended.
This sentiment is insufficient to sustain institutional investor purchases of ETFs, and most DAT trading prices are below mNAV, leading investors to begin avoiding these Bitcoin derivative securities.
If this liquidity cannot cover negative liquidity, Bitcoin must fall to reflect current short-term concerns that dollar liquidity will contract or not grow as quickly as politicians have promised.
