Dogecoin ETFs struggled to attract buyers while rival XRP and Solana funds collectively pulled in a reported $3 billion, according to unconfirmed reports, a demand gap that, if confirmed, would separate the meme-token wrapper from crypto ETPs backed by chains with active smart-contract and settlement infrastructure.
The comparison originates from a single CoinDesk report that could not be independently verified in this phase. The comparative flow data, the fund universe, and the definition of buyer demand behind the headline were not obtained, so the figures below are directional rather than confirmed.

KEY POINTS
- Dogecoin ETFs reportedly saw weak buyer demand, according to unconfirmed reports.
- XRP and Solana funds collectively drew a reported $3 billion, with no asset-level split disclosed.
- A matching timeframe and a consistent metric are needed to quantify the gap.
Dogecoin ETFs lag as XRP and Solana funds attract $3 billion
Dogecoin ETF demand
The reported struggle for buyers does not, on the available evidence, equate to zero subscriptions or net outflows; no numerical Dogecoin fund data was supplied. A Dogecoin ETP does exist: Bitwise’s newsroom index lists a November 25, 2025 announcement titled “Bitwise Asset Management Unleashes the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (NYSE: BWOW)”.

Dogecoin itself traded at $0.08378 with a market capitalization near $13.08 billion, a spot backdrop that provides context but does not measure fund flows. For related coverage, see US Bitcoin Spot ETFs Log $167M Net Inflow on March 23 — SoSoValue Data.

XRP and Solana funds draw a combined $3 billion
The $3 billion figure is attributed collectively to XRP and Solana funds, with no share assigned to either asset in the source. Bitwise’s newsroom index lists a November 20, 2025 announcement that its XRP ETF began trading on NYSE with a 0.34% management fee and a first-month waiver on $500 million in assets, though those are historical launch terms, not verified current terms.
The same index lists a November 21, 2025 note that Bitwise’s Solana product, BSOL, surpassed $500 million in assets under management, a milestone that reflects AUM rather than cumulative net inflows. Prior XRP ETF coverage has similarly shown select U.S. funds outperforming the underlying token, underscoring how flow and price can diverge.
On the spot side, XRP traded at $1.40, up 3.54% on the day, while Solana traded near $101.57; both sit well above Dogecoin in market capitalization, at roughly $88 billion and $59.7 billion respectively. This aligns with earlier reporting that spot XRP ETFs have been drawing capital, but price and market cap do not prove ETF demand.
What the fund demand gap can tell investors
A comparable reporting window matters
Quantifying any gap requires a shared cutoff date, a defined measurement period, and a consistent metric across all three products. Bitwise’s own disclosures illustrate the risk of conflation: an AUM milestone, a fee waiver on seed assets, and net subscriptions are three different measures that the $3 billion headline does not disaggregate.
Launch dates also differ, with the BWOW, XRP, and BSOL announcements dated within days of each other in late November 2025; without normalizing for time in market, a raw dollar comparison overstates or understates demand.
Fund demand and token prices
The reported comparison is a statement about primary-market subscriptions, not a forecast for DOGE, XRP, or SOL. The embedded data provides no evidence linking fund demand to subsequent token returns, and the broad Fear & Greed Index reading of 57, in “Greed” territory, measures market-wide sentiment rather than sentiment toward these ETFs.
For the AI-crypto stack, the distinction matters because ETP demand increasingly shapes which settlement layers accumulate institutional capital, and Solana in particular anchors a growing set of on-chain compute and agent-payment experiments. Verifying the source, the reporting window, the specific products, and whether the $3 billion represents net inflows, gross inflows, or assets under management is the necessary next step before the gap can be treated as established.
