Large holders of Ripple (XRP) have reportedly sold over 190 million XRP, causing its price to fall to around $2.00. Binance Coin (BNB) is also experiencing a decline, dropping to about $860 after failing to surpass $940. As interest in these major cryptocurrencies wanes, a new project called Digitap ($TAP) is gaining attention. Digitap is a crypto presale focused on integrating crypto and fiat payments within a single app. The Digitap presale has raised $2.1 million with 130 million coins sold, and analysts suggest it could potentially provide high returns. The project emphasizes security with audits from Coinsult and Solidproof. Digitap is offering a 20% discount for first-time buyers using the code DIGITAP20.

Singapore police arrested one suspect following a raid on SRS Auto Holdings Pte., a car loan company linked to Chen Zhi, chairman of Prince Group. The suspect, Tan Yew Kiat, is believed to be involved in money laundering. This action follows U.S. indictments against Chen for allegedly running scam operations in Cambodia and subsequent sanctions on him and associated entities across multiple countries. Over $150 million in assets, including properties, vehicles, and cash, have been seized by Singapore authorities. Prior to the raid, a wallet linked to Chen moved a substantial amount of Bitcoin, approximately 15,959 BTC worth $1.83 billion, to new addresses, which analysts connect to a U.S. Department of Justice case targeting $14.4 billion in Bitcoin allegedly tied to Chen's operations and possibly related to the 2020 LuBian mining pool hack. The Prince Group denies any unlawful activity, and some companies connected to Chen are seeking to regain access to frozen accounts due to financial hardship faced by employees.

Bitcoin's recent price decline is attributed to an imbalance of investors betting on its price to go up (long positions) versus those betting it will go down (short positions). According to Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson, there are significantly more long positions than short positions across multiple exchanges, making the market vulnerable to price drops. When the price falls slightly below where many investors bought in, it triggers a cascade of liquidations, pushing the price down further. Traders had initially targeted $100,000 and then $90,000 as price bottoms, but these levels failed, leading to more liquidations. Now, $84,000 is seen as a potential bottom. For Bitcoin to recover, there needs to be fewer long positions and more short positions. Technical analyst Ali Martinez points out that Bitcoin's 2-year moving average, around $81,250, is a crucial level to watch, as historically, falling below this average has signaled the start of bear markets. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $86,251.

The article discusses "vibe coding," a no-code or low-code approach to web3 development that aims to make application creation accessible to everyone. Injective's cofounder, Eric Chen, explains that vibe coding allows users to build and deploy applications using simple text commands, similar to using ChatGPT for coding. This method can significantly speed up development, with surveys showing that nearly 75% of developers at early-stage startups use vibe coding, increasing delivery velocity by at least 30%. Injective has launched iBuild, an AI-powered platform demonstrating vibe coding, where users can create applications within minutes. The platform allows both novices and experienced developers to create and deploy apps. Safety is addressed through audited modules that detect fraudulent activity, ensuring secure financial transactions. The pricing model for iBuild is pay-as-you-go based on API usage. Injective's MultiVM environment uses Rust, a safe language, and built-in financial modules to prevent unsafe code interactions, fostering a secure ecosystem. Overall, vibe coding is changing web3 development by lowering the barriers to entry and accelerating the pace of innovation.

The article examines the relationship between Bitcoin's price and two macroeconomic factors: the global M2 money supply (a measure of liquidity) and the DXY dollar index (a measure of the dollar's strength). It finds that while influencers often present a simple correlation, the actual relationship is more complex and changes over time. The author's analysis of daily price data over the last year reveals that Bitcoin's price generally moves in the same direction as the M2 money supply (with a delay of about 84 days) and in the opposite direction of the dollar. The correlation between Bitcoin and M2 is 0.78, while Bitcoin versus DXY is 0.58. A lag test shows Bitcoin returns are most correlated with prior moves in the liquidity series about six weeks earlier and inversely correlated with prior moves in DXY about one month earlier. The article highlights that the relationship between these factors and Bitcoin's price varies depending on market conditions (bull vs. bear market). Specifically, during a bull run, Bitcoin's price is strongly correlated with M2, while during a downturn, this correlation weakens or even flips. The influence of the dollar remains relatively consistent across both phases. The article suggests that M2 acts as a slow trend indicator, while the DXY acts as a shorter-term gatekeeper, influencing the pace and direction of Bitcoin's price. The data emphasizes the importance of considering both the M2 and DXY, and the timing of their movements, when trying to understand Bitcoin's price action, rather than relying on simple, fixed correlations.

The article makes a prediction that the price of XRP will reach $3 this week, but does not contain any factual information to support this claim. It's solely speculative.

Tesla is nearing completion of its AI5 chip design and starting work on AI6, aiming to produce a new AI chip design every 12 months. Elon Musk claims Tesla will eventually produce more AI chips than all other companies combined. The AI5 chip production is expected to start in late 2026 with high-volume production in 2027, and will be manufactured by TSMC. Tesla also has a multiyear contract with Samsung for future AI chip production. These chips will be used in Tesla's data centers, Cybercab, Optimus robots, and vehicles. Tesla is recruiting chip engineering talent amid restructuring of its Dojo team, following the departure of its leader Peter Bannon and other employees. The company is focusing on inference chips and is part of a trend of companies building custom chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia.

The Cardano network experienced an unexpected fork, a disruption in its blockchain. Simultaneously, the price of ADA, Cardano's native cryptocurrency, dropped below $0.50. This indicates potential instability or technical issues within the Cardano network that could be negatively impacting investor confidence and leading to a decrease in its market value.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' reportedly sold $2.25 million worth of his Bitcoin holdings. This sale occurred during a period of market decline for Bitcoin. The article highlights this specific transaction and the potential reasons behind it, considering Kiyosaki's past statements and investment strategies.

A cryptocurrency news article highlights LivLive ($LIVE) as a top crypto with potential for growth during the current market dip and Black Friday season. LivLive operates as a real world augmented reality system where users earn $LIVE rewards for everyday activities like walking and shopping. The LivLive presale is currently in Stage 1 at $0.02, having raised over $2.1 million with over 300 early holders, and is moving to Stage 2 at $0.04. A Black Friday bonus code, BLACK300, offers a 300% bonus on $LIVE token purchases. The article contrasts LivLive with other cryptocurrencies like Eggman (EGGY), Best Wallet (BEST), Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), Blazpay (BLAZ), BlockDag (BDAG), and BlockSack (BSACK), suggesting they lack the same utility, innovation, or momentum as LivLive.

An AI market analysis predicts a potential Bitcoin price drop to $75,000 from its current level around $85,000 due to macroeconomic uncertainty, technical chart weaknesses, and slowing on-chain activity. The AI identifies Digitap ($TAP), a fintech company aiming to unify traditional banking with cryptocurrency, as a promising altcoin. Digitap's platform allows users to manage fiat, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies in one place, targeting the cross-border payments sector, which processed nearly one quadrillion dollars in transactions in 2024. Digitap's partnership with Visa enables users to spend crypto via a prepaid debit card. The $TAP token presale has raised over $2 million, offering early investors a current paper profit of over 150%. Tokenomics include a fixed supply of 2 billion tokens, with 50% of platform profits used to buy back and burn $TAP tokens, potentially increasing its value.

Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, announced it moved a large amount of Bitcoin and Ether tokens to new internal wallets as part of a planned security measure. This was done to avoid keeping funds in the same publicly known wallet addresses for a long time, reducing the risk of long-term exposure and potential cyberattacks. The exchange emphasized this migration was pre-planned, unrelated to market conditions or security breaches, and is a standard practice to enhance asset safety. Users were cautioned about potential scams during and after the migration, with a reminder that Coinbase representatives would not ask for login information or fund transfers. The exchange moved roughly 300,000 BTC, worth over $25 billion, significantly impacting the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve metric.

Plasma (XPL), a cryptocurrency designed for stablecoin payments, has experienced a significant decline, losing 85% of its value in six weeks. Launched in late September 2025 with backing from notable investors, it initially saw success, reaching a peak price above $1.50 and holding over $6.3 billion in stablecoins. However, its value has since plummeted to around $0.20 as of November 23, 2025, with stablecoin supply decreasing to $1.78 billion. The primary driver of this decline is the reduction in yield farming incentives, which initially attracted a large amount of capital. As XPL's price dropped, the rewards for depositing stablecoins became less valuable, leading users to withdraw their funds. An upcoming release of $18.13 million worth of XPL tokens is expected to put further downward pressure on the price. While daily transactions remain high, most stablecoins are still used for lending rather than real-world payments. A potential short squeeze could occur if XPL reaches around $0.224 or $0.23.

North Korean operatives are reportedly infiltrating crypto companies at a higher rate than previously thought. According to Security Alliance (SEAL) member Pablo Sabbatella, these agents may be embedded in 15% to 20% of crypto firms, with 30% to 40% of job applications potentially coming from North Korean state actors. These individuals gain access to internal systems after being hired, often facilitated by middlemen providing digital identities and access to freelance platforms. Some operatives even use American residents as fronts, installing malware to maintain a U.S. IP address and internet access. These infiltrators are often productive and remain undetected, posing a significant threat to internal security. The crypto industry's weak security posture, including exposed identities and insecure communication, exacerbates the problem. North Korean crypto theft has exceeded $3 billion in the last three years, funding Pyongyang's weapons program.

Sunrise has launched a new system that simplifies the process of bringing tokens from the Solana blockchain onto its platform. Simultaneously, the Monad blockchain has officially gone live. This development could make it easier for users to utilize Solana-based tokens within the Sunrise ecosystem and marks a significant step for the Monad project.

Nvidia's stock experienced significant volatility, initially rising after a strong earnings report but then falling sharply, mirroring the type of price swings typically seen in the crypto market. Bitcoin also declined, wiping out its gains for the year. This unusual stock market volatility alongside Bitcoin's drop has increased fears of a market bubble. The SPDR S&P 500 ETF also saw a large intraday swing, a rare occurrence. Bitcoin experienced significant liquidations and outflows from US Crypto ETFs, with record trading volumes. While Nvidia is still up year-to-date, Bitcoin has fallen below its price at the start of the year. Analysts point to factors like AI-bubble fears, potential delisting of companies holding digital assets, and uncertainty around central bank interest rate policies as contributing to the market volatility.

Dogecoin (DOGE) recently dropped from $0.185 to $0.135 but has started to recover to $0.145. An analyst, Ali Martinez, noted a technical indicator called TD Sequential has flashed a buy signal for DOGE, which previously led to a 100% price increase. If this happens again, DOGE could reach $0.30. However, another analyst, CW, points out resistance levels at $0.163, $0.185, and $0.195 that DOGE must overcome. Conversely, if DOGE falls below the $0.14 support level, it could drop to $0.07. Additionally, a Dogecoin spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) from Grayscale is set to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange on Monday.

Bitwise Asset Management executives are expressing optimism about the future of the cryptocurrency market, despite recent price drops. They are particularly confident in Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Uniswap's UNI token. Bitwise's CIO believes Bitcoin could reach $200,000 by the third quarter of 2029 and sees a near-term price floor in the $73,000-$84,000 range, while also noting the potential for Ethereum to increase revenue capture through upcoming upgrades and XRP to explore staking options. The CEO of Bitwise has personally purchased more Bitcoin as the price dipped to around $85,000, viewing it as a buying opportunity and foreseeing that the crypto adoption will go beyond digital gold.

Bitcoin has recovered after being considered severely oversold in the market. XRP experienced a significant increase, rising by 7%. ZEC also saw a substantial surge in value, increasing by 14%. These movements indicate a potential shift in market sentiment for these cryptocurrencies.

Ethereum has recently fallen in price, trading around $2,800 after a prior high of about $4,800. An analyst, Ali Martinez, suggests that Ethereum's price could drop to around $2,000 before potentially rebounding. This prediction is based on a metric called MVRV Pricing Bands, which looks at historical price patterns in relation to investor costs. Historically, Ethereum has often found a bottom when it dips below a certain level, which is currently around $2,007. The average price at which people bought Ethereum is around $2,508. If the price falls below this, more investors could start losing money, potentially triggering a further drop to $2,000, after which the analyst predicts the price could increase again to around $6,021.

The article compares two crypto projects: BlockchainFX, which aims to provide a platform for trading various assets, and XRP Tundra, which focuses on revenue-backed staking. BlockchainFX has reportedly raised over $1 billion and intends to redistribute 70% of trading fees, but its success relies heavily on trading volume and market enthusiasm. XRP Tundra, scheduled to launch on December 15, is backed by an institutional acquisition and features a dual-chain architecture and a staking model that generates returns from various sources like swaps and lending. A final $0.01 retail window remains available before institutional pricing replaces it permanently. XRP Tundra emphasizes security with open-source contracts, audits, and team KYC, and it aims to provide more stable returns compared to trading-dependent platforms like BlockchainFX. The price values are set at $2.50 for TUNDRA-S and $1.25 for TUNDRA-X. The project has been audited by FreshCoins.

A malicious Chrome extension, "Safery: Ethereum Wallet," posed as a legitimate crypto wallet and stole users' seed phrases, which are like passwords for cryptocurrency. It achieved this by encoding fragments of the seed phrases into tiny, seemingly harmless transactions on the Sui blockchain. This allowed the attackers to later reconstruct the seed phrases and empty users' wallets. The extension gained prominence on the Chrome Web Store through fake reviews and a polished appearance, bypassing initial security checks. Once a user entered their seed phrase, the extension secretly transmitted it, avoiding typical malware detection methods. Users who installed the extension were advised to immediately uninstall it, revoke token approvals, and move their assets to a new wallet on a clean device. The incident highlights the risks associated with browser extensions and the need for stronger security measures on platforms like the Chrome Web Store and it is forcing wallet developers to rethink distribution models.

The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has issued a warning about stablecoins, suggesting they could potentially trigger a new financial crisis. This concern stems from the increasing interconnectedness of stablecoins with traditional financial systems. In response, Coinbase has publicly disagreed with the BIS's assessment, arguing that stablecoins are not a significant threat to financial stability. The core of the debate revolves around the risk that a loss of confidence in a major stablecoin could rapidly spread, impacting other parts of the financial market.

Solana (SOL) is currently trading near $130, having stabilized after a week of price swings. A 'death cross' is forming, where its 50-day moving average crosses below its 200-day moving average, a pattern that often signals further price declines. The $121-$123 price range is being tested as a support level. If this level breaks, SOL could potentially fall towards $107 and then $95. A rise above $144-$146 would be the first sign of renewed upward momentum, potentially targeting $172 and possibly $205 if market sentiment improves. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project aiming to bring faster transaction speeds to Bitcoin by utilizing Solana's technology, has raised over $28.3 million in its presale, with tokens priced at $0.013315.

Cardano experienced a temporary chain split on November 21 due to a malformed transaction created using artificial intelligence. A developer intentionally triggered the incident, which caused a temporary fork in the blockchain where some nodes processed the transaction while others did not. This disruption temporarily impacted some wallets and decentralized applications, though block production continued on both chains. The issue was resolved by updating node releases, allowing the network to consolidate back into a single chain. Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, suggested possible legal repercussions for the developer's actions. Interestingly, Solana's co-founder praised Cardano's consensus design and the network's response to the incident, highlighting its ability to maintain continuity even with bugs.

The cryptocurrency market is showing signs of recovery, with its total value increasing to $2.95 trillion. Bitcoin's price has risen by over 3%, trading around $86,395. Analysts suggest this movement resembles a wave-four bounce within an Elliott Wave structure, potentially leading to a price target of $88,640. However, caution is advised due to historically unreliable weekend trading patterns. Bitcoin faces immediate resistance around $86,370, and maintaining support between $81,620 and $83,640 is crucial for the upward trend. Breaking below $84,230 could weaken the short-term outlook. Looking ahead, Bitcoin may target a larger resistance zone between $92,820 and $111,180 over the coming weeks, contingent on the progression of a three-wave corrective pattern.

Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie believes Ripple is building a financial powerhouse akin to a modern JP Morgan, with its long-term strategy focused on obtaining a banking license. He suggests that Ripple's strong capitalization, leadership, and active network position it at the center of the digital asset landscape. Gilbertie downplays concerns about Ripple selling its XRP holdings, viewing them as capital reserves similar to traditional banks. He considers recent XRP price dips as normal volatility and anticipates market stabilization with increased institutional investment and regulatory clarity. The real growth driver for XRP, according to Gilbertie, will be regulatory clarity in the U.S. and Ripple securing a banking license, not just new applications or tools. He also mentioned that crypto-backed financial products like tokenized treasuries and blockchain-based bonds are coming.

TAO has fallen below its crucial $290 support level, indicating a shift towards a bearish market structure. This means sellers are currently dominating trading activity, as evidenced by high sell volumes in both spot and futures markets. The Spot Taker CVD metric confirms that aggressive selling is outpacing buying. A recovery for TAO would require a significant increase in spot buying volume; otherwise, the price is expected to continue declining. The break below $290 erased a major demand zone, increasing the risk of further price drops unless strong buyer demand returns.

Several cryptocurrency projects are scheduled to release significant amounts of previously locked tokens into circulation this week. These unlocks can potentially impact the market price of the tokens. The specific tokens and unlock schedules were not provided in this information.

Aster's price uptrend is threatened by weakening market conditions and a potential bearish crossover on the MACD indicator, signaling a possible shift to downward momentum. However, large ASTER holders, or 'whales,' have been providing support by accumulating 30 million tokens, worth over $35 million, in the past week and have not started selling, potentially preventing a significant price drop. Aster is currently trading around $1.18, and its ability to reclaim the $1.20 resistance level depends on continued whale support. A failure to hold could lead to a price decline towards $1.07, invalidating the current bullish outlook. The price could consolidate below $1.28 or climb toward $1.39 if conditions remain stable. A whale sell-off, though, could trigger a deeper price correction.

Aerodrome Finance, a large decentralized exchange on the Base network, experienced a security issue where its website was compromised through a DNS hijack. This means that users visiting the site were redirected to a fake version designed to steal their funds by prompting them to connect their wallets. Aerodrome warned users to avoid using its website and any associated links until the issue is resolved and the site is confirmed safe. The team stated that the underlying smart contracts are unaffected, meaning the problem is limited to the website interface. Velodrome, a sister exchange, issued a similar warning. AERO, the native token of Aerodrome, was trading around $0.70, up about 3% in the last 24 hours with approximately $40 million in trading volume. The team is investigating the centralized domain providers involved and working to secure the site. Users who may have visited the compromised site are advised to revoke recent transaction approvals and update their wallet credentials.

Crypto ATM company Crypto Dispensers is exploring a potential sale for $100 million. This comes shortly after the company's founder and CEO, Firas Isa, was indicted by the US Department of Justice on money laundering charges. The DOJ alleges that Isa and his company, Virtual Assets LLC (operating as Crypto Dispensers), facilitated the transfer of over $10 million in funds from narcotics activities and wire fraud through their ATMs, converting the money into cryptocurrencies to conceal the source. Isa and Crypto Dispensers are each charged with one count of wire fraud. If convicted, Isa faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years. The company initiated a strategic review to evaluate its future, including the sale offer, independent of the legal issues. The total crypto market capitalization is currently valued at $2.9 trillion.

XRP's price is facing downward pressure as large holders, called whales, have sold off 250 million XRP tokens. This selloff has pushed XRP towards a critical support level between $1.81 and $1.90, a zone where it has previously found buying interest. Technical indicators suggest that the selling pressure might be weakening, and if the $1.81 level holds, XRP could begin a recovery. Traders are watching the $2.15-$2.20 range as an initial target, with a more significant level at $2.30. Exceeding this would signal a potential trend reversal. An advertisement mentions Bitcoin Hyper, a project aiming to bring faster transactions and smart contracts to Bitcoin, with its presale surpassing $28 million.

RedStone has identified a potential problem with on-chain stocks: they might be priced incorrectly over weekends. This is because traditional stock markets are closed on weekends, but the crypto markets are always open. The difference in price between the on-chain stock and the actual stock price (which remains unchanged over the weekend) could create opportunities for arbitrage. Arbitrage involves quickly buying and selling an asset to profit from a price difference in different markets. These discrepancies could lead to risks for investors in on-chain stocks during the weekend.

Zcash (ZEC) experienced a significant price increase of over 20%, reaching approximately $593, driven by the upcoming halving event on November 28, which will reduce miner rewards. This halving is creating scarcity. Major players like Cypherpunk Technologies and Grayscale are accumulating ZEC, reducing the available supply. Technically, ZEC broke above a key resistance level. The next price targets are between $750 and $850 if it maintains momentum, with a potential fallback to a support level if it fails to break higher.

Ethereum (ETH) holders are shifting investments to Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a decentralized lending platform, seeking higher returns than ETH's current staking yields. Mutuum Finance has raised $18.90 million with over 18,100 holders and is in Phase 6 of its presale, priced at $0.035 per token, with a limited supply remaining. The price will increase by 15% to $0.040 in the next phase. Mutuum Finance offers both Peer-to-Contract (P2C) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending options, aiming to provide users with control over risk and reward and plans to launch its live platform alongside its token, allowing immediate utility. The platform is expected to launch V1 on Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025, including liquidity pools and ETH/USDT support. The project aims to create a self-reinforcing loop with revenue from borrowing fees funding buybacks, which are distributed to stakers.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) experienced a significant price surge, increasing by 26% in less than 24 hours, moving from a low of $446 to a high of $565. This rally occurred while the broader cryptocurrency market was declining. Although BCH retreated slightly to $549, it's still on track to end the week with a gain of over 12%. Over the past four weeks, BCH has also shown resilience, increasing by 0.78% while major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum have fallen by over 30% in the last 2-3 months. The rise in BCH's price is linked to increased liquidity inflows and a break above a 2-month descending resistance line, suggesting growing investor interest. However, spot liquidity inflows have cooled, and open interest in derivatives has surged, indicating increased leverage, which could lead to potential liquidations if the price drops unexpectedly. Increased trading volumes and accumulation by whales also contributed to the price increase, as investors looked for alternative investments amidst a crashing market.

Meta, the company behind Facebook and Instagram, is facing a lawsuit from school districts alleging that its platforms harm users, particularly teens. Internal documents from a 2020 study called Project Mercury reportedly showed that users felt less depressed and anxious when they deactivated Facebook and Instagram for a week. Instead of expanding the research, Meta allegedly shut it down. The lawsuit claims Meta hid the risks of its platforms, pushed harmful design choices to increase teen engagement even when it meant showing more harmful material, and delayed efforts to stop child predators. Internal documents cited in the filing say the company designed its teen safety tools to be weak and rarely used, and blocked tests for stronger features because they might affect growth. Meta denies the allegations, stating that the study was stopped due to flawed methodology and that the company has spent years improving teen safety. They also say the claims in the lawsuit twist Meta's actions and rely on cherry-picked quotes and misinformed opinions. The court case is moving forward with a hearing scheduled for January 26.

Bitcoin miners are selling off their Bitcoin reserves at an accelerated rate due to a significant drop in their revenue. Since November 21st, miners have moved over 30,000 Bitcoin, worth about $2.6 billion, from their wallets, reducing their total reserves to a record low of 1.803 million BTC. This sell-off is happening because the profitability of Bitcoin mining has plummeted, with a key metric called hashprice falling by over 50% to a record low of $34.49 per petahash per second. This means it's becoming more expensive to mine Bitcoin than the Bitcoin is worth on the market for many miners. Despite a 22% drop in Bitcoin's price over the past month, the overall computing power of the Bitcoin network remains high, suggesting larger mining companies are continuing to mine at a loss, potentially to push out smaller competitors. Analysts are warning that if Bitcoin's price doesn't recover soon, many miners may be forced to sell off their Bitcoin and even their mining equipment.

The Cardano blockchain experienced a temporary split into two separate chains due to an exploit of a known bug. An attacker reportedly used an AI-generated script to trigger this split. This incident means that for a brief period, the Cardano network was effectively operating as two independent blockchains, potentially creating confusion and instability for users and applications relying on the network. The issue has since been resolved, and the Cardano blockchain is now operating as a single chain again.

A report from Open Measures has revealed that scammers are using videos of Dan Bongino on Rumble to promote fake cryptocurrency tokens via Telegram. Over 1.3 million comments containing Telegram links impersonating Bongino have been posted on Rumble between November 2022 and November 2025, with a peak between June 2024 and February 2025 when these links represented 8% of all comments. These links lead to Telegram groups where scammers likely try to lure people into investing in fraudulent digital assets. Other prominent figures like Donald Trump Jr., the Tate brothers, Russell Brand, Tucker Carlson, and Steve Bannon have also had their names used in similar scams. These individuals often have ties to crypto, with some having promoted or launched their own digital assets.

At the G-20 summit in South Africa, Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that the world can progress economically even without the United States' involvement. This came after the U.S. boycotted the summit. The G-20 nations present represent a large portion of the world's population, GDP, and trade. Carney is actively seeking new trade partners and investments for Canada, including a significant $70 billion investment pledge from the UAE. He also plans to address strained relations with India. Carney indicated he is not prioritizing discussions with the U.S. until they are willing to engage in trade discussions.

Hedera's HBAR cryptocurrency experienced a significant drop of 18%, falling below the $0.162 support level. This decline is strongly correlated with Bitcoin's recent downturn, with a correlation coefficient of 0.97 indicating that HBAR is moving almost identically to Bitcoin. The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) shows substantial capital outflows from HBAR, suggesting strong selling pressure. If HBAR recovers, it needs to reclaim $0.133 and then $0.145 to prevent further losses, potentially down to $0.120 or even $0.110. Currently trading around $0.129, HBAR's price movement is heavily influenced by Bitcoin's performance, and without increased inflows or Bitcoin stabilization, HBAR is likely to face continued downward pressure. Overcoming the bearish trend requires a move above $0.145, which could signal a shift in market sentiment.

New Zealand will add a mandatory financial literacy program to its national curriculum starting in 2026, with full implementation by 2027 for students in years 1 to 10. The program will cover modern payment systems, including digital assets, and how to track market indicators like token prices. Younger students will learn about earning, spending, and saving, while older students will study investments, interest, taxation, and insurance. Students will learn about digital assets and blockchain technology through practical activities, such as using classroom tokens and managing digital wallets to understand real-world financial applications. The Ministry of Education is partnering with the Retirement Commission and other financial education providers to deliver the program and provide teachers with the necessary resources.

Monad, a new Ethereum-compatible blockchain, has completed its MON token sale on Coinbase, raising $269 million from 85,820 participants. The sale was initially slow, reaching only 45% of its $187 million target in the first day, but saw a surge in activity towards the end, ultimately becoming oversubscribed. While some participants are experienced crypto users, the Monad team believes many are new to the space. The mainnet launch is scheduled for Monday. Monad aims to offer low fees and scalable decentralization, with validators able to run on standard hardware.

The price of Zcash (ZEC) increased by 10% following news that the cryptocurrency exchange OKX is considering relisting the coin. This potential relisting has had a positive impact on the market value of Zcash.

The S&P 500's dividend yield has fallen to approximately 1.15%, nearing levels seen during the dotcom bubble era, with megacap tech companies contributing to this decline. These tech giants, which constitute 35% of the S&P 500, often have low or no dividends, thus reducing the overall yield. While 56% of companies in the index still pay dividends, the impact of large companies like Nvidia (0.02% yield), Microsoft (0.76% yield), and Alphabet (0.29% yield) is significant. Despite a recent tech selloff, dividend-paying stocks are underperforming as investors prioritize growth over dividends. However, some companies are increasing dividends, offering potential opportunities in sectors like real estate, utilities, and energy. Specifically, Cinemark Holdings recently raised its quarterly dividend by 12.5% to yield 1.24%, and has a $300 million share buyback plan. Capital One Financial increased its quarterly dividend by over 30% to yield 1.58%. Cheniere Energy raised its dividend to yield 1.07%.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $86,036, showing a slight increase after a period of decline. The article suggests that institutional investors might be buying Bitcoin as it reaches a support level between $83,000 and $84,000, a zone where they have previously accumulated the asset. A key level to watch is the $80,500 mark; if Bitcoin falls below this, it could drop further to $74,500. Conversely, if Bitcoin can break above $86,500, it could rally towards $88,500, then $97,000 and potentially $111,000. The article also highlights Bitcoin Hyper, a Solana-based project aiming to enhance Bitcoin's functionality with faster and cheaper transactions, noting that its presale has already raised over $28.3 million.

The CEO of VanEck, a company that offers investment products, has expressed concerns about Bitcoin's encryption and privacy features. He suggested that VanEck might withdraw its support for Bitcoin-related products if these issues are not addressed. This potential withdrawal could affect the availability of Bitcoin investment options for the public, as VanEck is a major player in the financial industry.

AI experts from Korea and Germany are urging increased international cooperation to develop human-centered AI systems that uphold human dignity and the rule of law. At a German Innovation Days event in Seoul, experts highlighted the need for innovation rooted in democratic accountability and shared values, with Germany emphasizing AI's societal risks like misinformation and deepfakes, while Korea focuses on AI's economic opportunities. They agreed that both countries can benefit from collaboration, combining Korea's data and Germany's AI application experience. Widespread AI literacy is also crucial for people to understand, evaluate, and safely interact with AI, aligning with global initiatives promoting fairness, transparency, and human oversight in AI development and use.

This week in African crypto news, South African crypto exchange VALR is partnering with Mukuru, a financial services platform with over 17 million users, to expand stablecoin payments using USDC. VALR will provide a USDC wallet and utilize Mukuru's infrastructure to make stablecoins more accessible, aiming to offer a regulated product. Bitcoin ATMs have been introduced in major malls in Nairobi, Kenya, following the enactment of crypto legislation in the country. These ATMs allow users to buy and sell Bitcoin, with limits up to Sh10,000 without extensive identity verification. The IOTA Foundation is collaborating with the World Economic Forum and the Blair Institute on the ADAPT initiative to create a borderless framework for stablecoin payments and trades across Africa, with pilot programs already underway in Kenya and Rwanda and plans to expand continent-wide by 2035.

A recent on-chain analysis suggests Bitcoin may be in a deceptive phase, potentially trapping investors expecting a simple recovery. Recent price drops were driven by newer, large Bitcoin holders (New Whales) selling off their holdings. While this often signals a price bottom, analysts suggest caution due to the current market cycle phase. Despite the selling pressure, 'smart money' investors are accumulating Bitcoin, particularly between $80,000 and $95,000. This accumulation and stabilization of Whale balances could lead to a short-term price rebound, potentially retesting previous highs around January. However, older, long-term Bitcoin holders (Old Whales) remain inactive, and their potential selling activity during any price recovery could signal the end of the market cycle.

Sui's price is down around 8% to $1.32 amid overall market fear, but some analysts believe it might be a good opportunity. Sui's total value locked (TVL) has increased to $2.6 billion, and network volume jumped 23% after Grayscale launched its Sui Trust. The ecosystem is growing with Move-based technology, DeFi, NFTs, and educational adoption in the Philippines. Sui ranked third in stablecoin supply growth, adding $177 million in 24 hours. Scammers are targeting Sui users with fake extensions to steal seed phrases, highlighting security risks.

Coinbase moved a large amount of Bitcoin and Ether, worth billions of dollars, to new internal wallets as part of a planned security measure. The company stated this was a routine procedure to reduce risks associated with keeping assets in the same public addresses for extended periods. While some speculated this could signal a positive price movement, Coinbase clarified the migration was unrelated to market conditions or any security breach. The exchange also warned users about potential scams exploiting the situation and reiterated they would never ask for sensitive information like passwords or seed phrases. In related news, Coinbase recently acquired Vector.fun, a Solana-based token aggregator.

XRP's price has shown signs of recovery, increasing by over 6% in the last 24 hours to around $2.03, after a recent market downturn. Despite optimism surrounding a potential XRP ETF and broader altcoin ETF interest, the price had been struggling. Trading volume has decreased, while futures open interest has slightly increased. One analyst identifies $1.75 as a key support level, where a significant amount of XRP has been purchased, while another points to $1.95 as a crucial support level that needs to hold. If XRP can overcome resistance at $2.75, it could potentially rally towards $3.15.

The cryptocurrency project LivLive ($LIVE) is being promoted as a promising investment, contrasting it with the Bitget exchange and suggesting it could be the 'next big crypto'. LivLive aims to reward users with tokens for real-world activities like gym visits and completing tasks through its 'action economy'. The project integrates augmented reality (AR) and wearable technology, such as wristbands and upcoming AR glasses, to enhance user engagement. A presale is underway at $0.02 per token, having already raised over $2.14 million with over 301 holders, with a projected listing price of $0.2. The total token supply is 5 billion, and unsold tokens will be burned post-launch to ensure scarcity. Bitget is highlighted for its trading volume, exchange upgrades, and new features like automated strategies and API enhancements, appealing to traders seeking advanced tools and improved asset staking. However, the article argues LivLive's unique connection of human interaction with token generation sets it apart as a superior investment opportunity.

Bitcoin's recent price drop into the mid-$80,000s has prompted concerns about a delayed recovery. Analyst Tony The Bull Severino highlights a bearish crossover on the 6-week LMACD momentum indicator, suggesting Bitcoin is unlikely to rebound quickly. Historically, similar crossovers have preceded extended downturns lasting 812 to 861 days, with bear-market lows occurring 250 to 365 days after the signal. Severino's analysis indicates potential drawdowns of 69% to 75% following such crossovers. While not predicting Bitcoin's end, he advises against expecting immediate gains, noting that the 6-week LMACD reflects long-term trends. Bitcoin is currently trading at $85,670, with recent declines of 11% and 23% over the past week and month, respectively, suggesting a potentially prolonged period of price stagnation or further decline.

Delhi police conducted a major cybercrime sweep, arresting 42 individuals and issuing notices to over 500 others as part of Operation CyHawk. The operation targeted various Interstate fraud modules, including job, investment, and work-from-home scams, with victims defrauded of over Rs. 254 crore (approximately $28 million). Raids on call centers and other locations led to the seizure of laptops, computers, mobile phones, passbooks, debit cards, and approximately $178,000 in cash. Investigations into mule accounts flagged by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Center (I4C) uncovered links to fraud cases across Kolkata and Mumbai, leading to multiple arrests, including alleged mastermind Ravi Kumar Singh, who ran fraudulent call centers. The police also uncovered cases involving ATM fraud, digital arrest scams, USDT laundering, and digital marketing fraud. One case involved a current account linked to 244 cybercrime complaints with losses exceeding Rs. 186 crore, resulting in the arrest of an account holder.

Institutional investors reduced their holdings in MicroStrategy (MSTR) stock by approximately $5.38 billion during the third quarter of 2025. This represents a 14.8% decrease in institutional ownership, dropping from roughly $36.32 billion to $30.94 billion. Major fund managers, including Capital International, Vanguard, BlackRock, and Fidelity, each reduced their exposure by over $1 billion. This shift occurred despite relatively stable Bitcoin prices during the same period, indicating an active decision by institutions to reduce their MSTR holdings rather than forced selling due to losses. The move is attributed to increasing availability of direct Bitcoin exposure through spot Bitcoin ETFs and other regulated custody solutions, making MSTR less essential as a Bitcoin proxy. Although MSTR remains a substantial holding for many institutions, its dominance as the primary means for institutional Bitcoin exposure is declining. The future of MSTR's appeal is now tied to Bitcoin's price movements, with potential for further reductions if Bitcoin falls below $80,000 and possible reversals if it maintains support at $100,000 or higher.

India is set to launch a rupee-backed stablecoin called ARC in the first quarter of 2026, developed by Polygon and Anq, with each token backed 1:1 by the Indian Rupee. This aims to promote domestic innovation and manage money flow within India's economy. Simultaneously, Indian authorities uncovered a $62 million crypto money laundering scheme involving 27 exchanges, highlighting failures in KYC procedures. Japan is reclassifying 105 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, as financial products, subjecting them to stricter regulations and insider trading rules, while also planning to reduce crypto tax from 55% to 20% for both individuals and institutions. In South Korea, tech giant Naver is acquiring Upbit's parent company, Dunamu, to integrate crypto expertise with digital payments and potentially launch a Won-backed stablecoin.

Bitcoin's price is recovering modestly after falling below $81,000 on Friday, climbing back above $86,000. Several other cryptocurrencies have seen stronger gains, particularly ZEC and XMR, which have risen by 14% and 16% respectively. ZEC is now approaching $580, and XMR is at $400. Other altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE, ADA, and BCH are also up. The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has increased by over $60 billion, reaching $3 trillion.

An investor in India lost approximately $188,000 (Rs. 1.69 crore) to scammers posing as stock market advisors. The investor was added to a Telegram channel where the criminals, claiming to be from a Singapore-based firm, promised high returns on investments in stocks and digital assets. The scammers convinced the victim to register on a fake trading platform and deposit money. Initially, the victim was able to withdraw some earnings, building confidence to invest larger amounts. The fraudsters manipulated the platform to show increasing profits, but when the victim tried to withdraw larger funds, they demanded additional fees and taxes. When the victim was unable to pay these extra charges, the scammers reduced the amount, raising suspicion and leading the victim to realize they were being defrauded. The Hyderabad Cyber Crime Police have launched an investigation into the case, citing multiple sections of the IT Acts and Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita related to cheating, forgery, and organized crime.

Dogecoin is currently trading around $0.14, experiencing a 6.48% decrease in the last 24 hours. It's in a tense period where its price is stuck below $0.15, testing long-term support levels. A weekly close below $0.14 could lead to a significant drop towards $0.07. A large symmetrical triangle pattern on the weekly chart suggests that a breakout above the $0.18-$0.20 range could signal recovery, while failing to hold current support could lead to multi-year lows. Key levels to watch are $0.15 as a resistance point and $0.18-$0.20 as a breakout zone, while losing current support increases the likelihood of a drop to lower levels, with $0.07 being a potential target. Ultimately, the direction of Dogecoin will depend on trading volume, volatility, and the ability of buyers to defend higher price levels.

XRP, Ripple's token, has rebounded above $2 after falling from $2.30 to around $1.80 earlier in the week. The next major resistance level, where selling pressure could increase, is around $2.60, but XRP needs to first break through resistance between $2.00 and $2.10. If XRP can't hold above $2.08, it might fall further, with a key support level around $1.75, where a large number of tokens were previously bought. Some analysts predict a potential correction, with a worst-case scenario seeing XRP dropping to $1.50 before recovering. Currently, XRP is up 6.4% to $2.04 on the day, but down 10.2% for the week and 16.5% for the month and more than 45% since its all-time high in July 2025.

The UK government plans to freeze regulated rail fares in England, including season tickets and off-peak returns, until March 2027. This is the first freeze in 30 years and aims to ease the cost-of-living strain for commuters, potentially saving them over 300 pounds annually on some routes. The freeze is intended to offset some of the impact of upcoming tax increases. While regulated fares will be frozen, unregulated fares might still rise, but are expected to generally align with regulated fare trends. Rail operators express a commitment to working with the government to ensure that rail reforms genuinely improve the customer experience. Experts are concerned that the fare freeze could increase financial pressure on rail operators already facing challenges due to increased costs and changes in commuting patterns since the pandemic. The government hopes this measure will provide financial relief to working families, help control inflation, and encourage more people to use trains. Chancellor Rachel Reeves also plans to announce tax increases to address a 20 billion pound budget shortfall, including holding income tax thresholds steady and ending certain tax reliefs. Prime Minister Keir Starmer believes he will remain in office until 2034.

Solana is facing significant downward pressure and is approaching a crucial support level of $123. Its exponential moving averages suggest a potential 'Death Cross,' a pattern that has historically preceded further price drops. If the price breaks below $123, it could fall to $105, and possibly even $98, representing a substantial decrease from current levels. Investor losses are increasing, with realized profit/loss hitting its lowest point since June 2023. Historically, similar dips have led to market rebounds. Currently trading around $127, Solana could either bounce back from the $123 support or experience another significant drop. A recovery would require stabilizing realized losses and pushing the price back toward $136, with a further move to $157 needed to invalidate the bearish outlook.

BlackRock's head of digital assets, Robbie Mitchnick, stated that institutional investors primarily view Bitcoin as a store of value, similar to gold, rather than a future payments system. He believes Bitcoin's use for payments is still speculative and requires significant improvements in scaling technology. Mitchnick highlights the success of stablecoins in the payments sector, noting their efficiency in moving value and potential for expansion into retail remittances and corporate cross-border flows. This perspective aligns with ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood's recent reduction in her long-term Bitcoin price forecast due to the rise of stablecoins. Bitwise researcher Andr Dragosch suggests Bitcoin may still decline to a 'fire sale' zone between $73,000 and $84,000, representing price levels where major players like BlackRock and MicroStrategy have significant cost bases.

Macro analyst Lyn Alden believes Bitcoin is unlikely to experience a major crash because the market hasn't reached extremely optimistic levels. She argues that Bitcoin's traditional four-year cycle is becoming less influential due to institutional investment and broader economic factors. Alden predicts Bitcoin will reach $100,000 by 2026 but cautions against assuming immediate bull runs after every price decrease. Bitcoin has recently fallen from an all-time high of $125,100 to around $85,700, causing some concern among traders. Coinbase Institutional suggests that the market is underestimating the possibility of interest rate cuts, which could impact Bitcoin's price. XWIN Research Japan anticipates that Bitcoin may remain between $60,000 and $80,000 if the Federal Reserve maintains current interest rates.

Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows, totaling $1.2 billion for the week, marking the third-largest weekly withdrawal since their inception. Despite an overall decline in Bitcoin's price over six weeks, reaching lows not seen since April, some funds saw a turnaround on Friday. Fidelity's FBTC led the rebound with substantial inflows. The week was further impacted by a single-day outflow of $900 million on Thursday, the second-largest on record. These outflows coincide with a broader market shift influenced by changing expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts and concerns over AI sector valuations. Meanwhile, new altcoin ETFs tied to Solana, XRP, and Dogecoin are entering the market, with some experiencing notable success in their initial launches.

Currently, 1,000 XRP is worth approximately $1,940, but predictions for its value by 2030 vary widely. Some analysts foresee a modest increase to around $20,000, while others are more optimistic, suggesting a potential value of $100,000. A few ultra-bullish predictions even estimate that 1,000 XRP could be worth over $1,000,000 by 2030. These higher projections depend on significant regulatory progress, widespread adoption by financial institutions, and substantial growth of the XRP Ledger. Achieving these valuations would require XRP to attain market capitalization levels much higher than Bitcoin's current levels.

Bitcoin's price has been struggling, leading to a significant drop in investor sentiment. Data from Santiment indicates that positive commentary on social platforms has been overwhelmed by negative sentiment, reaching its lowest point since December 2023. This reflects retail investors reacting emotionally to the ongoing price decline. Panic selling is evident, with a substantial amount of Bitcoin, approximately 20,000 BTC worth nearly $2 billion, being sent to exchanges in the past week. This indicates that many traders are abandoning their positions. The market is divided on Bitcoin's future, with some anticipating further price drops due to outflows from Spot Bitcoin ETFs and low whale activity, while others view the crash as the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $85,502, showing a slight increase of 1.3% in the last 24 hours.

XRP has broken below a key level and is predicted to fall further to around $1.65 before potentially reversing its course. According to analyst CasiTrades, this drop is the final stage of a corrective phase. The expected bottom for XRP at $1.65 is predicted to coincide with Bitcoin dropping to around $80,000. After these drops, both cryptocurrencies are expected to begin new upward trends.

Bitcoin has decreased by over 30% since reaching its all-time high in early October. An analyst, Ali Martinez, suggests the price could potentially fall further, possibly down to around $44,700. Some large Bitcoin holders (whales) and spot Bitcoin ETF investors have been selling off their assets. Over $1.2 billion has been withdrawn from these funds in the past week. The amount of Bitcoin sent to exchanges has significantly increased, with about 20,000 BTC (almost $2 billion) transferred, indicating a potential intention to sell. Capital flowing into the cryptocurrency market has also dropped from $86 billion to $10 billion in three months.

Grayscale's Sui Trust (GSUI), an investment vehicle focused on the cryptocurrency SUI, has begun trading on the OTCQX over-the-counter market under the ticker GSUI. This allows investors to gain exposure to SUI through traditional brokerage accounts without directly buying or holding the cryptocurrency. The trust's shares are designed to reflect the market value of SUI, minus fees and expenses, but have historically traded at premiums or discounts compared to their net asset value. As of November 21, 2025, the trust has $4.23 million in assets under management, a net asset value of $19.89 per share, and 212,900 shares outstanding, with each share representing 14.51 SUI. The expense ratio is 2.50%. Grayscale warns that GSUI is a speculative product with potential for significant losses and that it has not consistently met its investment objective. The listing provides greater access to the Sui network for traditional market participants and broadens participation beyond crypto-native users. Mysten Labs views this as a way to further the adoption of Sui's technology by institutions and investors.

The article discusses how the Bitcoin network is designed to remain operational even during widespread internet outages, unlike traditional payment systems. Bitcoin uses alternative methods such as satellites, mesh networks, Tor, and ham radio to relay transactions and maintain consensus on the blockchain. Blockstream Satellite broadcasts the Bitcoin blockchain via satellite, allowing nodes to sync even without internet. Mesh networks like TxTenna and LoRa mesh relay transactions device-to-device. Tor and ham radio provide additional layers of redundancy. These methods are tested to ensure Bitcoin can function when standard internet infrastructure fails. During simulated global internet partitions, Bitcoin networks within each region continue to operate independently, eventually reorganizing to the longest chain when connectivity is restored. Traditional banking systems often struggle with such outages, requiring manual intervention and complex reconciliation processes. Bitcoin's decentralized architecture, with each node holding a full copy of the ledger, allows for quicker recovery and synchronization after disruptions.

Ethereum is currently stable around $2,717 after a period of price swings. A large investor, referred to as a whale, purchased 114,684 ETH worth about $314 million over 48 hours, bringing their total ETH holdings to approximately $1.34 billion. This suggests a long-term belief in Ethereum. The cryptocurrency needs to break through the $2,800 resistance level to potentially reach $3,000. Failure to surpass $2,800 could lead to a price decrease towards $2,500. Technical indicators suggest a bearish trend overall, but a reversal is possible if market sentiment changes. The next price movement, either upward or downward, will be crucial in determining Ethereum's near-term direction.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), a popular version of Bitcoin used in the digital asset world, is now available on the Hedera network. This allows Bitcoin to be used in Hedera's decentralized finance (DeFi) system. This was made possible through partnerships with companies like BitGo, BiT Global Trust, and LayerZero Labs. WBTC is the leading tokenized Bitcoin, with over 126,000 BTC in custody and a market value of over $13 billion, representing about 65% of the tokenized Bitcoin market on Ethereum. Every WBTC on Hedera is backed 1:1 with real Bitcoin kept in BiT Global Trust's custody. Hedera emphasizes its network's ability to prevent issues like front-running and high transaction fees, making it attractive for Bitcoin-based financial activities. Stargate Finance facilitates cross-chain bridging for WBTC, and SaucerSwap Labs is already hosting WBTC trading pools.

XRP's price has fallen below $2, and an analyst named CasiTrades predicts it may drop further to around $1.65 before a significant price increase. This prediction is based on Elliott Wave technical analysis and Fibonacci retracement levels. The analyst believes XRP is currently in a temporary recovery phase but will likely fall again to test the $1.65 support level. This drop is expected to coincide with Bitcoin also reaching a specific support level around $80,000, after which both cryptocurrencies are anticipated to reverse course and begin rising. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.02.

The memecoin market experienced a significant downturn, dropping to its lowest point in 2025 and losing $5 billion in value in a single day. This decline occurred amidst a broader downturn in the crypto market, with the total market capitalization decreasing by $800 billion over three weeks. Major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether also experienced double-digit percentage declines. The NFT market mirrored this trend, falling 43% in a month, with most top collections seeing considerable losses, except for a few exceptions. The top memecoins all recorded losses across various timeframes, with some like Bonk, Pepe and Dogwifhat seeing the worst losses. The overall trend indicated a decrease in speculative interest across both memecoins and NFTs.

The ISO 20022 messaging standard is now live for major financial networks, sparking discussion about XRP's potential role in traditional finance. The new standard changes how banks share payment data, providing a more structured format for communication, but it doesn't mandate the use of XRP or any other digital asset. Some believe the updated messaging format could facilitate connections between banks and blockchain systems, potentially making it easier for banks to integrate with networks like RippleNet that utilize XRP for value transfer. However, any increased use of XRP would depend on banks choosing it for cost, speed, and regulatory reasons. Following the ISO 20022 launch, XRP's price experienced a decrease of 2.67% in 24 hours, trading near $1.93, with a market capitalization of approximately $116.45 billion and trading volume dropping by 56.3% to $4.22 billion.

Grayscale is launching Dogecoin (GDOG) and XRP (GXRP) ETFs on Monday on NYSE Arca, giving investors access to these cryptocurrencies through traditional brokerage accounts. These ETFs were previously private placement products and have been upgraded to hold the actual underlying crypto. The launch of GXRP follows Bitwise's recent XRP ETF release. Franklin Templeton is also planning to launch a Dogecoin ETF soon. This trend is facilitated by new SEC guidance that simplifies the listing process for crypto products, provided they meet pre-approved standards. XRP is currently the fourth-largest crypto by market cap, while Dogecoin began as a meme coin but has become a heavily traded digital asset. GDOG is the second Dogecoin ETF in the U.S., following REX-Osprey's launch in September.

Tom Lee of Fundstrat attributes Bitcoin's recent price drop to aftershocks from a market event in October where a stablecoin briefly lost its peg. This event weakened market makers, who provide trading liquidity, causing them to reduce activity and contribute to selling pressure. Bitcoin fell about 23% this month, with ETF outflows reaching around $3 billion, adding to the downward pressure. Additionally, a stronger US dollar and potential Federal Reserve tightening have negatively impacted investor sentiment. Lee suggests Bitcoin might fall to $77,000 and Ether to $2,500 before a rebound. He believes that fixing the issues with market-making systems should prevent similar events. Investors should monitor large funds' actions, ETF flows, and changes in how exchanges handle margin events.

Bitcoin's price saw a slight recovery, rising about 2% to around $84,156, after falling below $81,000. However, it struggled to stay above $85,000, causing some concern among traders. This price dip triggered a sell-off in other cryptocurrencies. There was positive news as US Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of around $240 million, suggesting renewed institutional interest after a large outflow the previous day. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF experienced outflows, but these were largely offset by inflows into Fidelity and Grayscale's ETFs. Some analysts predict Bitcoin could rise to $103,000 before potentially falling to $56,000. Factors influencing Bitcoin's price include retail trader activity, upcoming US economic data on inflation, and overall market sentiment.

The crypto market is experiencing some turbulence. Bitcoin (BTC) initially fell to $83,540 but then climbed back to retest the $85,000 level, although it's still down 11% for the week. Factors like a weak job market and comments from a Fed official seem to be encouraging buying at lower prices. However, US Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen significant outflows in the past month. For Bitcoin to recover, it needs to surpass its 20-day and 50-day EMAs before testing higher resistance levels. Ethereum (ETH) also faced challenges, breaking below the $3,000 support level and dropping to $2,680 before finding stability above $2,700. To resume its upward trend, Ethereum needs to stay above $2,800 and recapture its 50-day EMA. Heavy liquidation around the $3,100 to $3,600 range could act as resistance. An upcoming upgrade is generating optimism, but maintaining the $2,700 level is crucial to prevent further drops.

VanEck's CEO suggested some Bitcoin supporters are increasingly interested in Zcash due to concerns about Bitcoin's encryption and privacy. He mentioned potential quantum computing risks to Bitcoin and the lack of privacy on its blockchain. This shift is driven by a growing demand for financial privacy. Arthur Hayes has also expressed confidence in Zcash as a hedge against market downturns. Currently, Zcash's price has decreased around 19% in the last 24 hours to approximately $504, even though its trading volume increased by around 8% to $2.77 billion. Analysts suggest that if Zcash reclaims a support level of $535, its price may rise to $700, but losing this level could cause a further drop.

Grayscale Investments is launching spot ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) for Dogecoin (GDOG) and XRP (GXRP) on the NYSE Arca on November 24, 2025. These ETFs will allow investors to buy these cryptocurrencies through traditional brokerage accounts without needing to manage crypto wallets directly. The launch converts Grayscale's existing private trusts into publicly traded ETFs. Before the launch, trading in Dogecoin and XRP derivatives saw increases of 30% and 51% respectively, suggesting traders were anticipating price movements. While the ETFs don't guarantee price increases, they expand access to these cryptocurrencies for more investors, including brokers and retirement funds. Market observers will be closely watching trading volume and spreads in the first few days to gauge investor interest and assess the impact on the overall crypto market, which has experienced a downturn recently.

Crypto experts are suggesting that XRP could experience a significant supply shock due to the recent launch of XRP ETFs. Two XRP ETFs from Canary Capital and Bitwise are already available, with more expected to launch soon, including funds from Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and 21Shares. While initial inflows into the first two ETFs haven't been massive, with a peak of $245 million on the first day for Canary Capital, the expectation is that increased ETF availability will drive demand and potentially reduce the available supply of XRP. One expert predicts potential daily inflows of $1 billion into these ETFs, leading to a price surge. Despite these expectations, the price of XRP is currently around $1.91, a slight decrease in the last 24 hours. A crypto expert is claiming that the altcoins price could rally to as high as $220 as these funds continue to accumulate more coins.

The United States is expected to lower tariffs on Swiss goods from 39% to 15% in early December. This change comes after Switzerland and the U.S. signed an initial agreement committing to the reduction. The previous 39% tariff, implemented in August of the previous year, negatively impacted Swiss exporters. As part of the agreement, Swiss companies have pledged to invest $200 billion in the U.S. by 2028 in sectors like chemicals, machinery, and high-tech. While experts see the tariff reduction as a positive step, they emphasize that further negotiations and parliamentary approvals are needed in both countries. The lower tariff aims to improve the competitiveness of Swiss exporters, bringing them in line with European Union rates and benefiting sectors such as machinery, watches, chemicals, and drugs. However, some observers believe that Switzerland may have conceded too much in the agreement. While the new tariff may offer relief, its full impact depends on smooth implementation, ongoing collaboration between Swiss and American officials, and potential for further exemptions for sensitive products.

The UK government, led by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, plans to allocate £1.3 billion in subsidies for new electric vehicles (EVs) and an additional £200 million for charging stations to support the EV market. This funding aims to reduce the upfront cost of EVs for consumers and expand charging infrastructure. The subsidies will be available until 2030. However, the government is also considering a new pay-per-mile tax of 3p per mile, potentially increasing the average yearly cost of owning an EV by £276. This tax aims to offset the decline in fuel duty revenue as more drivers switch to EVs. Car makers will be required to ensure that one out of every three vehicles sold in 2026 produces zero emissions. This requirement is predicted to increase to 80% in 2030.

Bitcoin traders became more optimistic after the odds of the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December jumped significantly, reaching 69.4%. This shift in sentiment followed dovish comments from New York Fed President John Williams, suggesting rate cuts might be possible without disrupting inflation control. While the market reacted positively to this news, some analysts caution against excessive optimism, noting that the expectation of a rate cut is not yet guaranteed. If the Federal Reserve holds rates steady, Bitcoin may remain within a range of $60,000 to $80,000, as inflation concerns continue to influence the central bank's decisions.

Solana's price is under pressure and could fall to around $100, a level not seen in over seven months. This potential drop is signaled by a 'Death Cross' formation on its price charts, which historically indicates a further price decline. If this pattern continues, Solana could drop roughly 21.8% from its current price of around $127. However, there's a possibility of a rebound if the amount of losses investors are taking stabilizes, potentially allowing the price to bounce back to $136 or even $157.

Peter Schiff is warning that investors in MicroStrategy (MSTR) could face substantial losses if Bitcoin's price drops significantly, potentially by 90%. This warning comes as Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's chairman, defends the company's strategy, highlighting their $500 million software business and their use of Bitcoin as part of their financial approach. MicroStrategy has issued over $7.7 billion in digital credit securities this year and is developing Bitcoin-backed financial products. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading around $83,758.96, showing a downtrend with increased selling pressure. Analysts are concerned that a continued decline in Bitcoin's price could negatively impact MicroStrategy's stock and investor sentiment.

Crypto Dispensers, a Bitcoin ATM operator, is exploring a potential sale valued at around $100 million. This consideration comes shortly after the U.S. Department of Justice accused the company and its CEO, Firas Isa, of involvement in a multimillion-dollar money-laundering scheme, alleging they handled at least $10 million in illicit funds. The company faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, carrying a potential sentence of up to 20 years and asset forfeiture. Crypto Dispensers states the sale consideration is due to broader strategic review in a consolidating digital asset sector. The company's announcement coincides with a downturn in the cryptocurrency market, leading to decreased trading volumes and impacting revenue for crypto-related businesses. Increased regulatory scrutiny from U.S. agencies, particularly regarding anti-money laundering, adds to the financial strain, potentially driving consolidation within the crypto industry.

Elon Musk's AI project, Grokipedia, is under fire because it reportedly uses a neo-Nazi forum as a source of information. This has led to concerns about bias and misinformation in the AI. Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, revealed this information, which has prompted calls for the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to investigate and potentially restrict Grok's use by federal agencies. Grokipedia was launched as an AI-powered alternative to Wikipedia, using Musk's Grok chatbot for content generation and review. Critics point out that Grok has previously made antisemitic and racist remarks, which they attribute to its training data and design. XAI, Musks company behind Grok, has a $200 million deal with the Pentagon, and Grok is readily available to federal agencies along with other AI models like Gemini and ChatGPT. Advocates are urging authorities to review Grok's use, citing concerns about its reliability and training data, especially given its access to sensitive government information.

The Cardano blockchain experienced a brief split due to a malformed transaction that was accepted by newer node versions but rejected by older ones. This caused the network to temporarily diverge into two separate chains. Developers quickly implemented a hard fork to resolve the issue and reunite the blockchain. Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson identified the incident as an intentional attack by a disgruntled stake pool operator, whose wallet was identified and is now under FBI investigation. A user later claimed responsibility, stating the transaction was part of an experiment gone wrong, triggered by following AI-generated instructions. While the network remained online throughout, some stake pool operators lost block rewards. Developers are urging stake pool operators to upgrade to the latest software version.

Bitcoin is nearing its worst weekly performance in over a year and is shaping up to become its second-worst November on record. This is a deviation from historical trends, where November is usually a strong month for Bitcoin. An analyst notes that short-term Bitcoin holders are experiencing a level of pressure that the market has never seen before, with over 99% of them currently at a loss. This surpasses the levels seen during the COVID-19 crash and the FTX collapse, marking what some analysts are calling the most intense wave of capitulation in Bitcoin's history. The CEO of SwanDesk Financial cautioned against Wall Street's influence, especially when it comes to crypto.

Coinbase is acquiring Vector, a Solana-based social trading platform, to improve the speed and accessibility of on-chain trading on its exchange. The goal is to integrate Vector's technology to give Coinbase users faster access to decentralized exchange (DEX) markets, enhance execution speed, increase liquidity, and offer more assets within the Coinbase platform. Vector's team will join Coinbase to assist with this integration, and Vector's apps will eventually be discontinued. Despite the acquisition announcement, Solana's price decreased by 9% due to market liquidations, with trading volume increasing and open interest decreasing, indicating aggressive selling. Solana's price is currently around $124.51, forming a falling wedge pattern which suggests a potential 29% price increase if the $124 support level holds. However, several technical indicators suggest continued downward pressure in the short term.

Solana is experiencing increased activity on its network, even as its price has recently dropped. Data shows more users are interacting with Solana and new wallets are being created. Analysts are watching the $125-$130 price range, noting it as a potential area where buyers might step in, while a break above $130 could lead to further gains. A new proposal aims to reduce the rate at which new Solana tokens are created, making the cryptocurrency scarcer faster than originally planned. This could potentially decrease selling pressure in the long term. Market participants are watching to see if the increased network activity and the proposed supply change will help Solana's price recover.

Bitcoin has recently experienced a price drop of 10% in the past week, reaching a low of $80,800, and is currently trading around $84,300, which is about 32.79% below its all-time high. Despite this downturn, analyst Gert Van Lagen points to historical trends following Bitcoin halvings to suggest a potential future bull market. According to his analysis of Bitcoin's price movements since 2009, Bitcoin tends to rise significantly after each halving, potentially reaching the upper boundary of a long-term regression channel. If Bitcoin follows this pattern, Van Lagen predicts it could reach a price range of $350,000 to $400,000. He believes the true bear market will only begin after Bitcoin reaches this peak and subsequently crashes to retest a lower trend line.

US retail sales growth is expected to slow down in September, with projections indicating a 0.4% increase, slightly lower than August's 0.6% rise. This potential slowdown is attributed to high prices on everyday items and growing concerns about job security, leading consumers to cut back on spending. Consumer sentiment regarding personal finances is at its lowest since 2009. While wealthier consumers are still spending, those with lower incomes are delaying larger purchases. The labor market is cooling, with companies slowing hiring or turning to automation. Several economic indicators will be released soon, including the producer price index, durable goods orders, and jobless claims, offering a clearer picture of the economy. The Federal Reserve is under pressure to lower interest rates, and retailers are preparing for a potentially subdued Black Friday.
