Dogecoin ETFs lose their bite as Bitcoin, Ethereum big dogs lead the pack

DOGE0,28%
BTC-0,54%
ETH-0,9%
DOGS3,99%

US spot Dogecoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are showing early signs of cooling demand, as total value traded (TVT) has fallen to its lowest level since launch

SoSoValue data showed that on Monday, Dogecoin ETFs’ TVT fell to just $142,000, the lowest since launch. This marked a sharp retreat from late November, when the funds saw days where value traded topped $3.23 million.

Total value traded refers to the total dollar amount of ETF shares bought and sold over a given period. It serves as a gauge of market activity and practical liquidity, indicating the amount of money that has moved through the funds.

CoinGecko data showed that in the last 24 hours, DOGE recorded over $1.1 billion in spot trading volume and had a market capitalization of $22.6 billion

This shows that the underlying asset remains highly liquid, but not through its ETF wrappers. This discrepancy suggests that traders are accessing DOGE directly through exchanges rather than traditional market vehicles.

Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF made its debut in November but fell well short of initial volume expectations. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas predicted at the time that the ETFs would get at least $12 million in volume. However, the ETF only saw $1.4 million on its first day

Bitcoin and Ether dominate ETF trading as alt-ETFs trail behind

On Dec. 8, ETF trading activity remained concentrated on Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH)-based products. According to SoSoValue, Bitcoin ETFs posted $3.1 billion in TVT, while Ether ETFs recorded $1.3 billion

Solana (SOL) ETFs saw $22 million in value traded, while XRP products recorded $21 million in value traded. Further down the curve, the recently-launched Chainlink ETFs recorded a $3.1 million TVT on the same day, while Canary’s Litecoin (LTC) ETF had about $526,000

The data suggested that ETF capital still overwhelmingly flows toward the two largest digital assets, continuing their lead as the core liquidity centers of regulated crypto exchange-traded products

In terms of inflows, XRP (XRP) remains strong. On Monday, XRP ETFs’ inflow streak remained unbroken since its launch. Meanwhile, Solana ETFs, which first had their inflow streak broken in November, are on a three-day inflow streak after seeing $32 million in outflows on Wednesday

BTC rose 0.56% in 15 minutes: trading volume surges and buy-side dominance drives a spot rebound

From 07:15 to 07:30 on April 20, 2026 (UTC), BTC achieved a +0.56% short-term return in mainstream markets. The price range touched 74718.5 - 75568.1 USDT, and the 15-minute intraday swing reached 1.14%. In this phase, market attention warmed up, trading activity rose noticeably, and overall volatility increased. The main driver behind this deviation is that for mainstream trading pairs such as BTC/USDT, the 15-minute trading volume increased month-over-month to +15%, forming a buy-side dominant pattern that pushed spot prices upward to break higher. Inflows directly drove the short-term upside. On-chain data shows that large BTC transfers were dispatched to new wallets in a structured, staged manner, with no concentrated sell pressure flowing to trading platforms. This releases a rebalancing signal rather than a sell signal, which helps ease short-term sell pressure. The chain
