Meme News: Bit-Signal and DOGE ETFs—Turkey or Santa?

Happy Turkey Day! Just when bears thought they were in total control, Bitcoin showed zero clucks given on Thanksgiving, wrestling its way back above $91,000 as degens started dreaming of a Santa rally.

BTC has practically erased its losses from last week, with research and brokerage firm K33 claiming that Bitcoin’s sell-off has reached its saturation point and is now a “strong relative buy.”

There have been great runners, too, with Wojak (WOJAK) ripping a 234% pump, while a few lucky others printed three-digit gains.

Meme coins are beating the odds as they add another win to their institutional appeal.

Bitwise just launched its Dogecoin ETF on the New York Stock Exchange. Coinbase Custody Trust will act as the custodian of the fund. Will fresh liquidity drive DOGE’s price higher?

Grayscale’s new spot Dogecoin ETF made a quieter debut than expected, pulling in $1.4 million in first-day volume instead of the projected $12 million.

High stakes, insane wins! Jake Clever, the CEO of crypto wealth manager Digital Ascension Group, recalled how one of his friends turned $11,000 into almost $500 million by trading meme coins.

1. WLFI Boost Sends Meme Coin to the Moon

Just in case you think we don’t deserve to still go lower, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), a Trump-connected crypto project, this week boosted the Shit Piss Skin Can (SPSC) meme coin, triggering a +130% spurt.

2. Pump.fun Fires Back

Pump.fun’s pseudonymous co-founder Sapijiju dismissed allegations of a $436 million cash-out, calling it “complete misinformation." He says the USDC movements were nothing more than routine treasury management.
