DNS ATTACK KNOCKS AERODROME AND VELODROME FRONT-ENDS OFFLINE

Base's Aerodrome and Optimism's Velodrome suffered a DNS hijack that redirected users from their primary domains to scam front-ends, forcing both DEXs to push traders toward decentralized mirror links while they work on a fix and emphasize that core smart contracts remain unaffected. The incident, similar to a 2023 domain compromise, demonstrates how centralized DNS remains a key security weak point even for leading DeFi protocols and comes just months before the projects merge into a unified Aero platform.

FANATICS ENTERS PREDICTION MARKETS

Fanatics announced a prediction markets platform launching within weeks through a Crypto.com partnership, with CEO Michael Rubin revealing the news on CNBC but declining to share product details or operational scope. The sports merchandiser holds licenses in 23 US states while acknowledging strong demand in the remaining 27, where regulatory hurdles may limit access. It remains unclear whether the platform will use crypto rails or focus on sports, given Fanatics' deep betting and merchandise roots.

GRAYSCALE XRP AND DOGECOIN ETFS TO DEBUT NOVEMBER 24

Grayscale's XRP and Dogecoin ETFs received SEC approval to begin trading on November 24 on the NYSE. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas projects $11 million day-one DOGE volume and that Chainlink ETF approval will come in the following week. The launches follow Canary Capital's record-setting XRP ETF debut, with $59 million first-day volume and $250 million AUM as November's highest-volume 2025 ETF launch. REX Shares and Osprey Funds already launched a DOGE ETF in September using the 1940 Investment Company Act.

ETHER.FI CASH EMERGES AS LEADING CRYPTO NEOBANK

Ether.fi Cash has become the breakout winner in crypto neobanking by collapsing wallets, yield, and card spending into a single non-custodial Visa product that lets users borrow against staked and restaked assets, earn 5–10%+ DeFi yield, and get 3% cashback while never fully exiting crypto. Backed by Ether.fi's ~$7–11.5 billion restaking ecosystem, Cash has processed over $114 million in spend, paid nearly $5 million in rewards, and reached ~5,500 daily active cards. Metrics like $66,000 annualized spend per active user suggest a strong product–market fit. A “Triple Dip” rewards program that ties together vault deposits, card spend, and bank on-ramps acts as a reflexive growth engine, positioning Ether.fi Cash as the leading non-custodial alternative to fintech-style crypto cards and a blueprint for on-chain neobanking.

STATE OF CRYPTO

Crypto shows strong fundamental signals, including Stripe's Tempo SWIFT/ACH disruption ambitions, Citadel's $200 million Kraken investment, and $35 billion total RWA value, yet "fun crypto" has become compressed as average participants struggle to profit while research analysis fails to translate into trading returns. Public token sales at $1-2.5 billion valuations like Monad and MegaETH don't replicate early-stage venture exposure, creating a disconnect where only majors are recommendable despite DePIN revenues growing 400% year-over-year and monthly application revenue hitting $400 million. Upcoming research priorities include DePIN tokenomics reconciling strong sector growth with poor token performance, DeAI agent infrastructure and agentic payments via x402, Tempo's explicit positioning as a SWIFT alternative rather than a PayPal competitor, and internet capital markets exploring whether launchpad design or founder quality matters more after Believe's struggles versus MetaDAO's success.

BLOB FEES, L2S, AND WHY BLOBS ARE JUST GETTING STARTED

If all Ethereum blobs were sold at the average per-byte rate paid by perp appchain Lighter over the past three days, L1 blob revenue would be about 5x higher (~$52 million per year), highlighting early but growing, relatively price-insensitive demand for data availability. Lighter currently pays 6x more per blob than Base (13x more per byte once normalized for fullness) while spending a smaller share of its L2 revenue on blobs thanks to highly optimized Data availability (DA) and zk state diffs, suggesting that efficient, high-margin L2s could drive blob fees up and force less efficient rollups toward higher costs or alternative DA, with blob revenue becoming “icing on the cake” for ETH.

BITCOIN DOESN'T HOLD CRYPTO HOSTAGE

Ethereum is technically and economically independent of Bitcoin and would continue running its stablecoin rails, DeFi ecosystem, and ETH burn even if Bitcoin vanished. Quantum-computing risks currently spooking Bitcoin are largely Bitcoin-specific, since Ethereum has long hidden public keys behind addresses and plans to adopt quantum-safe signatures. This suggests that in a true Bitcoin failure scenario, ETH would likely inherit Bitcoin's monetary premium as the default money of the internet rather than see “internet money” die altogether.
