4 Crypto Project Developments that Catch Analysts’ Attention in November 2025

Jakarta, Pintu News – The month of November brings a number of big events that could influence the direction of the crypto market. While many investors are focused on the movements of Bitcoin and Ethereum , a number of altcoin and DeFi projects look set to steal the spotlight of the crypto market in November 2025, according to a BeInCrypto report.

Four of the most prominent are:

1. EtherFi – Completed a vote for a US$50 million (≈ Rp830 billion) buyback to stabilize the token price below US$3.
2. Folks Finance (FOLKS) – Will launch new tokens on November 6, 2025, with 25.4% of the total supply released to the market through a Token Generation Event (TGE).
3. Aerodrome – Preparing to launch Slipstream V2 and Autopilot in a major upgrade of MetaDEX02, cementing its position as the highest earning DEX on the Base.
4. Lighter – Ready to release spot trading features for Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), expanding services from perpetual to multi-asset markets.

These four projects are expected to be the main triggers for volatility and new capital rotation in the altcoin market towards the end of the year, as optimism grows towards the DeFi sector and Layer-2 networks.

1. EtherFi (ETHFI) – Voting US$50 Million Buyback to Stabilize Price

The EtherFi community completed a vote on a US$50 million buyback proposal. The program will allow the foundation to purchase ETHFI tokens on the open market when the price drops below US$3, with the aim of increasing liquidity and maintaining long-term holder confidence.

This move is considered crucial as ETHFI’s price has dropped 46% in the past month, and buybacks could be a stabilizing catalyst amid selling pressure. If approved, implementation will begin immediately, with public reporting on each buyback transaction.

2. Folks Finance – FOLKS Token Launch on November 6th

Folks Finance’ s cross-chain DeFi protocol will launch its native token, FOLKS, on November 6, 2025. The token will be launched through the Wormhole NTT standard and serve as the ecosystem’s governance center.

Of the total supply of 50 million tokens, 12.7 million (25.4%) will be released during the Token Generation Event (TGE). The initial allocation is focused on ecosystem growth and community airdrops, with approximately 3.29% of the total supply allocated specifically for airdrops. This launch marks a new chapter for Folks Finance in expanding user participation and decentralizing governance.

3. Aerodrome – Slipstream V2 & Autopilot Upgrade on MetaDEX02

As the main DEX on the Base network, Aerodrome will close out MetaDEX02 phase next week with the launch of two major upgrades: Slipstream V2 and Autopilot (no-fee ALM), as well as a number of significant UI/UX improvements.

This upgrade is expected to strengthen Aerodrome’s position as the fourth-highest revenue DEX in the entire DeFi ecosystem, overtaking even Ethereum and Solana in network revenue. After this launch, the development focus will shift to MetaDEX03, which is billed as the most advanced version of their DEX operating system.

4. Lighter – Ready to Launch Spot Trading in Early November

Lighter, a Layer-2 Ethereum-based perpetual exchange known for its zero-fee trading model, is accelerating the launch of spot trading features in early November. CEO Vladimir Novakovski revealed that the initial assets to be traded include Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), with the addition of popular memecoins soon to follow.

Earlier on October 31, Lighter had expanded services with perpetual forex (FX) trading, a strategic move to reach out to traditional traders who are becoming interested in the efficiency of on-chain transactions. The launch of the spot market marks Lighter’s transformation into a multi-asset exchange platform with global scale.
