Morning Crypto Report: 0.98% of XRP Supply Gone, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Rockets 3,000% in Liquidation Imbalance, JP Morgan Launches Money Market on Ethereum

2025/12/15 20:42

The ew week on the crypto market opens with hard numbers and price drama. $1.18 billion worth of XRP is now locked inside ETFs, removing 0.98% of the total supply, SHIB futures print a 3,000% liquidation imbalance with longs wiped out and JP Morgan launches a tokenized money market product on Ethereum’s Base network.

TL;DR

  • XRP ETFs now control $1.18 billion, equal to 0.98% of total XRP supply, but price stalls near $2.
  • SHIB futures print a 3,000% liquidation imbalance, with longs taking the hit.
  • JP Morgan launches My OnChain Net Yield (MONY) on Ethereum’s Base network.

$1.18 billion of XRP absorbed by ETFs

Even though the price is not doing much, the story around XRP’s ETF is growing. According to the latest data, the total net assets across U.S. XRP spot ETFs have reached $1.18 billion, representing 0.98% of XRP’s total market capitalization.

Thus, almost 1% of all XRP in circulation is currently locked up in regulated investment vehicles. This is supply that has been taken off the market, and it is not just sitting around on the exchange order books or playing the volatility game during the day. It is being stored in a warehouse.

What makes this all the more interesting is the timeline. The price of XRP has been stuck around $2, which is a level that has become a bit of a psychological stress test. Traders are seeing stagnation. ETFs see opportunity. The difference between the flat price and the continued asset accumulation is pretty telling.

ETFs are buying XRP even as the market struggles to decide on a direction. That mismatch usually resolves later, not right away. The price may look frozen, but the distribution underneath is changing.

The $2 level has become a bit of a pressure chamber. Bulls see it as a base. Bears see it as proof of exhaustion. Neither side is winning decisively. With almost 1% of the supply already taken in, any future increase in demand will not need to be huge to make a difference.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) prints 3,000% liquidation imbalance

While XRP stays tense and controlled, Shiba Inu derivatives markets descend into chaos.

The latest futures data by CoinGlass shows a liquidation split of around $122,000 in long liquidations versus just $4,000 in shorts, creating a liquidation imbalance near 3,000% — a one-sided wipeout.

What happened is that SHIB traders kept leaning into upside bets inside a market that offered no follow-through. Each minor dip flushed leveraged longs. Bears, on the other hand, barely showed up, so short exposure remains thin.

The result is a loop: bulls enter longs expecting a breakout, the price chops sideways, leverage gets flushed and bulls reload.

The price itself confirms the diagnosis. SHIB is locked in a textbook chop market, a sideways grind where direction is absent and patience is punished. There is no trend to ride, only traps.

Ironically, this imbalance also creates latent risk in the opposite direction. With shorts largely absent, any unexpected upside move can trigger forced buying quickly. That does not mean a rally is guaranteed. 

SHIB is not trending. It is rotating through traders.

JP Morgan picks Ethereum for first tokenized money market move

JP Morgan has launched its first tokenized money market fund on Ethereum as per WSJ, marking a direct step into on-chain asset management rather than payments or settlement testing.

The product is called My OnChain Net Yield, or MONY for short. When it first launched, JP Morgan put in $100 million of its own money, and then made it available to investors who met certain criteria. The minimum investment is $1 million, so it is definitely an institutional product.

MONY operates fully on-chain and is designed to deliver returns comparable to a classic money market fund, but with blockchain-based issuance and settlement. Investors can put money into the fund with fiat currency or USDC, which lets traditional cash management and crypto-native rails work together.

It is not a deposit token or a stablecoin. MONY is a real investment fund that uses Ethereum infrastructure and is all about generating yield. JP Morgan is not just experimenting with token wrappers; it is actually running the product itself on public blockchain rails.

Ethereum was chosen as the execution layer, which is another way of saying that it is the preferred network for institutional-grade tokenization. This move comes after years of private blockchain testing and shows a clear upgrade: balance sheet capital being used directly on the blockchain.

Following the announcement, Ethereum rose about 3%.

Crypto market outlook

The next sessions are about follow-through, not surprise. XRP traders watch ETF absorption versus the $2 ceiling, SHIB remains driven by liquidation mechanics and Ethereum trades reaction to JP Morgan’s move.

  • XRP: The price sits near $2, with immediate support at $1.88-$1.92. Holding that zone keeps the structure intact. A break and hold above $2.12 opens $2.28-$2.35. Failure below $1.88 exposes $1.72-$1.75, where the next real demand sits.
  • Ethereum (ETH): Reacted directly to the JP Morgan launch with a 3% move. As long as ETH holds above $3,200, the market looks for continuation toward $3,550. Losing $3,100 cools the move and brings $2,950 back into focus.
  • Shiba Inu (SHIB): Remains a range market dominated by derivatives. Support holds near $0.0000086-0.0000088. Resistance sits at $0.00001.

Trump-Backed WLFI Plunges 58% – Buyback Plan Announced to Halt Freefall

Trump-Backed WLFI Plunges 58% – Buyback Plan Announced to Halt Freefall

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the Trump-linked DeFi project, is scrambling to stop a market collapse after its token lost over 50% of its value in September. On Friday, the project unveiled a full buyback-and-burn program, directing all treasury liquidity fees to absorb selling pressure. According to a governance post on X, the community approved the plan overwhelmingly, with WLFI pledging full transparency for every burn. The urgency of the move reflects WLFI’s steep losses in recent weeks. WLFI is trading Friday at $0.19, down from its September 1 peak of $0.46, according to CoinMarketCap, a 58% drop in less than a month. Weekly losses stand at 12.85%, with a 15.45% decline for the month. This isn’t the project’s first attempt at intervention. Just days after launch, WLFI burned 47 million tokens on September 3 to counter a 31% sell-off, sending the supply to a verified burn address. For World Liberty Financial, the buyback-and-burn program represents both a damage-control measure and a test of community faith. While tokenomics adjustments can provide short-term relief, the project will need to convince investors that WLFI has staying power beyond interventions. WLFI Launches Buyback-and-Burn Plan, Linking Token Scarcity to Platform Growth According to the governance proposal, WLFI will use fees generated from its protocol-owned liquidity (POL) pools on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana to repurchase tokens from the open market. Once bought back, the tokens will be sent to a burn address, permanently removing them from circulation.WLFI Proposal Source: WLFI The project stressed that this system ties supply reduction directly to platform growth. As trading activity rises, more liquidity fees are generated, fueling larger buybacks and burns. This seeks to create a feedback loop where adoption drives scarcity, and scarcity strengthens token value. Importantly, the plan applies only to WLFI’s protocol-controlled liquidity pools. Community and third-party liquidity pools remain unaffected, ensuring the mechanism doesn’t interfere with external ecosystem contributions. In its proposal, the WLFI team argued that the strategy aligns long-term holders with the project’s future by systematically reducing supply and discouraging short-term speculation. Each burn increases the relative stake of committed investors, reinforcing confidence in WLFI’s tokenomics. To bolster credibility, WLFI has pledged full transparency: every buyback and burn will be verifiable on-chain and reported to the community in real time. WLFI Joins Hyperliquid, Jupiter, and Sky as Buyback Craze Spills Into Wall Street WLFI’s decision to adopt a full buyback-and-burn strategy places it among the most ambitious tokenomic models in crypto. While partly a response to its sharp September price decline, the move also reflects a trend of DeFi protocols leveraging revenue streams to cut supply, align incentives, and strengthen token value. Hyperliquid illustrates the model at scale. Nearly all of its platform fees are funneled into automated $HYPE buybacks via its Assistance Fund, creating sustained demand. By mid-2025, more than 20 million tokens had been repurchased, with nearly 30 million held by Q3, worth over $1.5 billion. This consistency both increased scarcity and cemented Hyperliquid’s dominance in decentralized derivatives. Other protocols have adopted variations. Jupiter directs half its fees into $JUP repurchases, locking tokens for three years. Raydium earmarks 12% of fees for $RAY buybacks, already removing 71 million tokens, roughly a quarter of the circulating supply. Burn-based models push further, as seen with Sky, which has spent $75 million since February 2025 to permanently erase $SKY tokens, boosting scarcity and governance influence. But the buyback phenomenon isn’t limited to DeFi. Increasingly, listed companies with crypto treasuries are adopting aggressive repurchase programs, sometimes to offset losses as their digital assets decline. According to a report, at least seven firms, ranging from gaming to biotech, have turned to buybacks, often funded by debt, to prop up falling stock prices. One of the latest is Thumzup Media, a digital advertising company with a growing Web3 footprint. On Thursday, it launched a $10 million share repurchase plan, extending its capital return strategy through 2026, after completing a $1 million program that saw 212,432 shares bought at an average of $4.71. DeFi Development Corp, the first public company built around a Solana-based treasury strategy, also recently expanded its buyback program to $100 million, up from $1 million, making it one of the largest stock repurchase initiatives in the digital asset sector. Together, these cases show how buybacks, whether in tokenomics or equities, are emerging as a key mechanism for stabilizing value and signaling confidence, even as motivations and execution vary widely
