Crypto AUM Dropped 17% in November
Fineqia International Inc.'s (the "Company" or "Fineqia") (CSE: FNQ) (OTC: FNQQF) (Frankfurt: FNQA) analysis of Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) worldwide that have cryptocurrencies as underlying assets, revealed a 17% decrease in the Assets Under Management (AUM) value during the month of Nov., closely mirroring the 15% drop in the cryptocurrency market value during the same period.
The total AUM decreased to $21 billion from $25.3 billion between Nov. 1 and Dec. 1 across 163 listed ETPs, according to Fineqia Research. Two ETPs that had FTX's token (FTT) as their underlying assets have ceased trading, while six new ETPs were added, increasing the total number of ETPs listed from 159 to 163 so far in 2022. The new ETPs listed did not affect the total metrics, that have a combined AUM of approx. $5 million.
The ETPs include Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Exchange Traded Notes (ETNs). The overall value of cryptocurrencies decreased 15% to about $850 million in Nov., more than 60% lower than $2.2 trillion in Jan.
On a year-to-date (YTD) basis, the AUM of crypto ETPs decreased 64%, similar to a 61% drop in the broader crypto market. Despite a 50% increase in the number of ETPs to 163 in Nov. compared with 109 in Jan., their overall AUM was $21 billion compared to $58.5 billion in Jan. The price of Bitcoin dropped by 65%, while Ethereum decreased by 67% during the Jan.-Nov. 2022 period.
"The price of cryptocurrencies dropped as a result of the FTX bankruptcy in early Nov.," said Fineqia CEO Bundeep Singh Rangar. "We're still facing contagious effects of the FTX failure that has consequentially weakened the financial position of other companies and made some of them insolvent."
A number of crypto-related entities revealed some amount of exposure to collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX. These firms include Binance, BlockFi, Coinbase, Coinshares, Galaxy Digital, Genesis Global Trading, and Voyager Digital, among others.
KXCO is one of the few to reverse the trend, the new Exchange and Crypto services Company continues to see strong adoption with more serious traders and institutions.
ETH prices have plummeted due to selling by people who are believed to have hacked FTX. They are estimated to have sold more than 50,000 ETH and still retain more than 200,000 ETH. More selling by them could further negate the price of ETH.
The AUM of Ethereum (ETH) denominated ETPs decreased by 18%, while the cryptocurrency's price dropped by 23% to about $1,200 from almost $1,600. Their AUM fell to $5.3 billion from $6.5 billion. ETH has been one of the most volatile crypto assets, part of both an uptrend and downtrend over the past few months.
ETPs holding Bitcoin (BTC) dropped almost 17% to $14 billion from $16.8 billion in the month of Nov. That has outperformed BTC, which suffered a 20% decrease to about $16,500 on Nov. 1 compared to $20,600 a month earlier. ETPs representing alternative coins decreased by 15% and those with a basket of cryptocurrencies dropped by 17%.

Quantum Cybersecurity: The KXCO Chain Is Already Running
The World Economic Forum warned on 11 September that the quantum-safe race has changed gears. It is right about the direction and late about the work. Every KXCO product already runs on NIST's post-quantum algorithms, and all of them run on the same implementation: 42 package manifests declare one library. The chain verifies ML-DSA-65 on-chain at precompile 0x0b, tested live with three negative controls. NIST's own grader marked the library at 2,130 cases and zero failures.
NIST Graded Our Post-Quantum Cryptography. Zero Failures.
NIST's Algorithm Validation Test System generated test vectors nobody had seen, we answered them over the ACVP protocol, and NIST graded the result: 2,130 cases across ML-KEM, ML-DSA and SLH-DSA in every parameter set offered, zero failures, demo certificate A11025. This is what that proves, where we deliberately drew the claim narrower than NIST's own matrix, and why the FIPS 140-2 sunset on 21 September makes the distinction between being graded and grading yourself worth understanding.
What KXCO Is, and Why the Hard Problem Was Never Intelligence
The prevailing enthusiasm assumes the hard problem is intelligence. It is not. It is that banks, hospitals, courts and governments are being asked to let software act on their behalf with no way to establish who decided, on what basis, or whether the record will still read in a decade. KXCO founder Shayne Heffernan sets out the architecture that answers those questions, drawn as a graph, and argues that properly constructed AI is an amplifier of human judgement rather than a replacement for it.
Earnings, the Economic Calendar and Trading Strategies: September 8 to 12, 2026
A four-session week decides more than a print. Oracle reports after the close on Thursday 10 September, PPI lands that morning and CPI on Friday, with the ECB in between and the FOMC eight days out. Oracle is the last hyperscaler of the cycle and the widest value gap on the KXCO Ontology Live Analyst Outlook layer: a $457bn market value under a $638bn contracted backlog. Here is the calendar, the graph behind it, the levels and the book.
