Resumo

Dogecoin ETFs have experienced consistently low demand and dwindling trading volumes since their launch in late November, indicating a lack of institutional interest. Data from SoSoValue shows daily volumes have declined significantly, with only three days reaching seven-figure trades out of twelve. Total net assets for these funds stand at just $6.01 million, far below Grayscale’s Chainlink ETF, which has $77.71 million in assets. Analysts had predicted lower interest for meme coins like DOGE compared to major cryptos, and this is reflected as even newer Solana and XRP ETFs are performing better. DOGE’s status as a meme coin with limited utility is seen as a key reason for its poor ETF uptake. The token’s price also fell over 6% to $0.138 at the time of writing.

The Dogecoin ETFs have continued to record low demand since they launched last month, indicating the lack of interest from institutional investors in the meme coin. Notably, DOGE has also seen the lowest demand through these ETFs among the top coins by market cap.

Dogecoin ETFs Record Dwindling Volume And Inflows

SoSoValue data shows that the Dogecoin ETFs have continued to see their daily volume and inflows decline since they launched last month. On December 10, the Grayscale and Bitwise DOGE ETFs recorded a trading volume of $125,100. Meanwhile, these funds as a group saw a total net inflow of $171,920 on the day.

Further data from SoSo Value shows that the Dogecoin ETFs trading volume has been on a decline since December 2, when they recorded a daily trading volume of $1.09 million. These funds have recorded only three 7-figure trading volume days out of 12 trading days since November 24, when Grayscale’s Dogecoin fund launched.

This is relatively low and signifies little demand for the DOGE ETFs among institutional investors. For context, Grayscale’s Chainlink ETF, the only LINK fund at the moment, has outperformed the Dogecoin ETFs despite launching at the start of this month. Grayscale’s LINK ETF has a total net asset of $77.71 million, while the DOGE ETFs have total net assets of $6.01 million.

The net flows also highlight the underperformance of these Dogecoin ETFs. Since launching, Bitwise’s DOGE fund has recorded a net outflow of $972,840. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s fund has taken in just over $3 million. The funds, as a group, have recorded net inflows on five of 12 trading days.

Possible Reason For The Underperformance

Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas had warned before now that crypto ETFs like the Dogecoin ETFs would record fewer assets given their distance from Bitcoin in terms of market cap. “’The further away you get from BTC, the less asset there will be,’ he said. Notably, DOGE funds have the lowest net assets among the top 10 cryptos by market cap with ETF wrappers.

The Solana and XRP ETFs, which also just launched last month, have outperformed the Dogecoin ETFs, although there are more funds offering SOL and XRP. Meanwhile, Balachunas’ theory hasn’t applied to the LINK ETF, as it has outperformed DOGE funds despite Chainlink having a lower market cap than Dogecoin.

Furthermore, the Hedera and Litecoin ETFs also boast larger net assets than the Dogecoin ETFs, indicating that institutional investors are simply not bullish on DOGE, possibly due to its meme coin status and lack of utility. DOGE is, so far, the only meme coin with an ETF wrapper.

At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trading at around $0.138, down over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Why the UXLINK hacker’s 14,336 ETH transfers raise fresh questions for DeFi

Recent on-chain activity reveals the UXLINK exploiter is actively laundering stolen funds, complicating tracing efforts. The September 2025 hack, which exploited a 'delegateCall' vulnerability to steal roughly $4.5 million, involved converting illicit assets into DAI and Ethereum. Recently, the attacker swapped over 10 million DAI for approximately 6,000.8 ETH and has deposited a total of 14,336.6 ETH into the privacy mixer Tornado Cash in recent weeks, including over $8.1 million worth in a single move. Simultaneously, wallets connected to the defunct Mining Express Ponzi scheme have been converting long-held assets, swapping 5,004 ETH for 8.8 million DAI. Following a separate exploit of the Jaredfromsubway.eth MEV bot, about $5.1 million was also routed to Tornado Cash. These incidents underscore a critical vulnerability in DeFi: while enabling permissionless transfers, the ecosystem lacks effective mechanisms to halt or manage illicit funds once in motion, allowing them to be moved and concealed relatively easily. This highlights the need for strengthened cross-network coordination and real-time threat detection to better safeguard the space.

Li Fei-Fei's Latest Long-Form Article: When Video Generation, Robotics, and NVIDIA All Call Themselves World Models, We Need a Taxonomy

In a new article, Dr. Fei-Fei Li addresses the widespread and often inconsistent use of the term "world model" in AI. She proposes a clear, functional taxonomy rooted in the classic Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP) loop (agent → action → state → observation → agent). According to this framework, current systems called "world models" are different projections of this loop, categorized by their primary output: 1. **Renderers**: Output observations (pixels). Their goal is visual fidelity for human consumption (e.g., video generation models like Sora). They are the most commercially mature but are limited by a focus on appearance over physical accuracy. 2. **Simulators**: Output states (geometric, physical, dynamic representations). They provide a structurally accurate world for both human professionals (e.g., architects) and computational agents (e.g., robots for training). Li argues simulators are the crucial, underappreciated bridge, as they can underpin both rendering and planning. 3. **Planners**: Output actions. Given an observation and a goal, they decide what an agent should do next (e.g., robotic action models). This area is highly promising but remains the least mature for real-world deployment. Li highlights a key trend: the boundaries between these three categories are beginning to blur, as they all rely on a shared underlying understanding of geometry, physics, and dynamics. The logical endpoint is a unified world foundation model capable of switching between rendering, simulation, and planning based on downstream needs. This convergence, she concludes, is central to advancing spatial intelligence—enabling machines not just to talk about the world, but to truly understand, imagine, and interact with it.

Forbes Feature: Stablecoin Cross-Border Payments Are Faster, But Not Yet Cheaper

A Forbes feature delves into the state of stablecoin-based cross-border payments, noting rapid growth but a key shortfall: while faster and more accessible, they are not yet cheaper. At a recent industry conference in Mexico City, optimism about technology, regulation, and volume was tempered by discussions with practitioners. The core issue is liquidity. Traditional FX brokers charge 60-70 basis points, and stablecoins promise to slash this to 2-5 basis points. However, this theoretical cost advantage cannot be realized until deep liquidity pools are established at scale, requiring significant institutional capital inflow. A major adoption barrier is trust. Businesses often rely on long-standing relationships with traditional brokers, valuing reliability over marginal cost savings. This shift will be gradual. Furthermore, successful companies in the space are not positioning themselves as replacements for legacy systems like SWIFT, but as complements. They leverage stablecoins for speed while using traditional rails for their standardization and reliability in ensuring accurate payment details—a critical factor for supplier payments to avoid customs issues. Companies like Caliza, experiencing high monthly growth, exemplify this hybrid approach. The industry anticipates consolidation, as long-term viability will depend on securing the essential trifecta: proper licensing, robust fiat on/off-ramps, and deep liquidity. Without these, firms risk being mere intermediaries rather than building sustainable businesses.

Forbes Feature: Cross-Border Payments with Stablecoins are Faster, But Not Yet Cheaper

A Forbes feature on stablecoin cross-border payments highlights rapid industry growth but notes the cost advantage remains theoretical. While stablecoins offer faster, 24/7, and more accessible international transfers compared to traditional forex brokers (charging 60-70 bps), they have not yet achieved their promised lower costs of 2-5 bps. The primary hurdle is a lack of deep, scaled liquidity pools, according to Imran Ahmad of Bitso Business. He states costs will only drop significantly with large-scale institutional and banking participation. Adoption faces a deeper challenge: trust. Businesses often stick with traditional brokers based on long-standing personal relationships, not just fees. Ezra Kebrab of cross-border payment firm Caliza emphasizes that reliability in handling complex details like tax codes is as critical as speed and cost. Contrary to some narratives, successful companies like Caliza see stablecoins as complementing, not replacing, existing infrastructure like SWIFT, which excels at payment standardization. Caliza itself uses SWIFT for many transactions and has seen monthly growth exceeding 40%. Ahmad predicts a future industry consolidation, where success will hinge on three pillars: proper licensing, reliable fiat on/off-ramps, and robust liquidity.

Li Feifei's Latest Article: When Video Generation, Robotics, and NVIDIA All Claim to Have 'World Models,' We Need a Taxonomy

"World Model" has become a widely used yet ambiguous term in AI. Drawing from the classic POMDP framework (agent → action → state → observation), this article proposes a functional taxonomy to clarify the concept. It identifies three distinct types, categorized by their output in the perception-action loop: 1. **Renderers**: Output visual observations (pixels). These models, like advanced video generators, prioritize visual fidelity but often lack underlying physical accuracy. 2. **Simulators**: Output the state of the world (geometry, physics, dynamics). They provide a structurally accurate representation for professionals (e.g., architects) and serve as training environments for robots and AI agents. 3. **Planners**: Output actions. Given an observation and a goal, they determine what an agent should do next, closing the perception-action loop (e.g., vision-language-action models). While renderers are currently the most commercially mature and planners are the most aspirational, the article argues that **simulators are the crucial, underappreciated hub**. By working at the level of geometry and physics, a simulator can project upwards to create visuals for humans and downwards to predict action consequences for agents. The future lies in the convergence of these three functions. Emerging research and products, like World Labs' Marble model which outputs both visual splats and physical collision meshes, are beginning to blur these boundaries. The logical endpoint is a unified world foundation model capable of rendering, simulating, and planning based on a shared understanding of spatial and temporal structures—ultimately enabling machines to understand, imagine, and interact with the physical world.
