T. Rowe Price, managing $1.8 trillion, filed an amended S‑1 to launch the Price Active Crypto ETF. The fund would hold a broad roster of digital assets – including bitcoin, ether, dogecoin, shiba inu and others – but maintain only five to fifteen tokens at a time under an active‑management strategy. Portfolios will be rebalanced with quantitative models targeting outperformance of the FTSE US Listed Crypto Index. Anchorage Digital Bank will act as custodian; the ETF will initially use cash subscriptions and may later permit in‑kind trades and staking, subject to risk and regulatory review.

Coinbase has broadened its crypto-backed lending service to include XRP, Cardano's ADA, and Litecoin, letting U.S. users borrow up to $100,000 in USDC without selling their holdings. The loans, routed through on-chain protocol Morpho, use wrapped tokens as collateral. The move taps into $17.2 billion of XRP held by customers and offers a tax-efficient liquidity option, though rapid price drops could trigger liquidations. Coinbase adds safety buffers and alerts to mitigate risk.

Coinbase expands its crypto‑backed lending product to XRP, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Litecoin, letting users post those coins as collateral on Morpho and borrow up to $100,000 in USDC; the service is nationwide except New York. The move follows a wave of liquidations earlier this month and targets the $117 bn combined market cap of the new assets. While lending provides liquidity without selling, wrapped collateral can trigger taxable events, and Coinbase warns of liquidation risk, noting a $170 m liquidation batch last week.

Coinbase has expanded its onchain loan product offered via Morpho to include XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA) and Litecoin (LTC) as collateral, allowing eligible U.S. customers—excluding those in New York—to borrow up to $100,000 in USDC without selling their holdings. The existing service already supports Bitcoin and Ethereum, with loan limits of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. Loans have no fixed repayment schedule, variable interest rates set by Morpho’s supply‑and‑demand dynamics, and LTV thresholds of 75% (BTC/ETH) and 49% (XRP/DOGE/ADA/LTC). Borrowers incur a one‑time fee per borrowing event. The platform is currently limited to verified U.S. users, with broader international access planned.

Dogecoin fell 16% over four days, sparking concern. On-chain data shows holders increased buying, signaling a buying opportunity rather than panic. Net exchange positions shifted toward accumulation as price crossed key psychological levels. Macro indicators support accumulation: MVRV ratio is now in the opportunity zone, indicating unrealized losses that discourage further selling. Historically, such setups precede recoveries, with selling pressure easing once losses are saturated. The price hovered near $0.105, briefly touching $0.094 intraday. Dip buying helped regain $0.100 support. A breakout above $0.110 could push the coin toward $0.117; failure to hold $0.100 would risk another dip, undermining the bullish view.

21shares launched the TDOG Dogecoin ETF on Nasdaq, adding to its lineup of crypto ETFs and becoming the only provider endorsed by the Dogecoin Foundation. The fund offers regulated, physically backed exposure to Dogecoin. Despite the new ETF, Wall Street’s interest remains limited; cumulative volume for doge ETFs is about $200 million with under $40 million AUM, far below the $2 billion volume of XRP ETFs. House of Doge aims to boost adoption through a mobile wallet app and merchant tools.

21Shares has launched the first spot DOGE ETF backed by the Dogecoin Foundation, trading on Nasdaq under ticker TDOG. It is the third U.S. spot DOGE ETF but the first to receive the Foundation’s endorsement and SEC approval, confirming Dogecoin is not a security. Targeting younger, affluent investors who prefer traditional brokers, the fund offers exposure to the meme‑coin without needing wallets or exchanges. The move follows the Foundation’s goal to transition Dogecoin into a mainstream payment rail.

Dogecoin Foundation's House of Doge and Nasdaq‑listed Brag House Holdings are merging and developing a consumer‑facing app called Such that will let users create self‑custodial wallets and accept Dogecoin payments, targeting a first‑half 2026 launch. The 20‑person Melbourne‑based team is building the app on the Foundation’s open‑source tech, adding real‑time feeds and merchant tools called “Hustles” to lower friction for buyers and sellers. A closed beta will precede the public launch, with the company aiming to broaden Dogecoin’s everyday use as a decentralized currency.

Dogecoin surged 17% last week, climbing above $0.15 for the first time since December as Bitcoin neared $95,000. Meme coins overall rose 24%, led by PEPE (+56%) and SHIB (+27%). Solana tokens BONK and PENGU also gained 50%+. Rising token launches and launchpad volumes signal renewed interest after a decline in 2025.

XRP spot ETFs recorded a net inflow of $13.59 million on Jan 2, extending a 33-day streak that began in mid-November and bringing total assets to $1.37 billion. Dogecoin spot ETFs posted a $2.3 million inflow the same day, lifting assets to $8.34 million after weeks of flat activity. XRP's price hovered in a tight range before climbing toward $2.30, a key support level that eased recent sell pressure. Dogecoin rose from the low-$0.13 range to about $0.14, supported by broader memecoin strength and 2x leveraged ETFs that have been among the best-performing funds of early 2026. The data suggest XRP's institutional demand remains steady, while Dogecoin's gains are driven by short-term, leveraged retail flows.
