A cryptocurrency analyst has observed a bearish signal in Bitcoin's Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) indicator. The MACD line has crossed below the signal line on the monthly chart, a pattern that historically preceded significant price drops for Bitcoin. In the past, similar signals have led to declines exceeding 60%. If this pattern repeats, the analyst suggests Bitcoin could potentially fall to $40,000. Additionally, a death cross has formed, with the 50-day simple moving average falling below the 200-day simple moving average. Bitcoin is currently trading around $68,800, down over 4% in the last week.

MetaPlanet has obtained a $130 million loan by using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral. This loan is part of a larger $500 million credit facility, of which $230 million has already been utilized. MetaPlanet possesses 30,823 Bitcoins to meet the collateral requirements for this loan. The company plans to use the funds from the loan to purchase more Bitcoin, further develop Bitcoin-related business ventures, and buy back company shares if the market conditions are suitable.

Galaxy Digital, a crypto investment firm led by Mike Novogratz, is exploring providing liquidity for prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi. Galaxy is currently experimenting with market-making and plans to expand its liquidity services. Polymarket and Kalshi have seen a combined $42.4 billion in trading volume, attracting interest from major trading firms like Jump Trading and Susquehanna International Group. Kalshi recently raised $1 billion at an $11 billion valuation, while Polymarket is preparing for a funding round valuing it at $12-15 billion. Polymarket purchased a CFTC-licensed entity, QCEX, reopening access for U.S. users, while Kalshi is a CFTC-designated contract market. Google will now display real-time odds from Polymarket and Kalshi in Google Search and Google Finance, increasing mainstream exposure.

Franklin Templeton is expanding its Crypto Index ETF to include XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar, and Chainlink, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum. This move gives mainstream investors a more diverse way to invest in crypto. Following this expansion, a spotlight is on altcoins like PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), a mine-to-earn meme coin. PEPENODE uses a virtual system where users earn rewards by acquiring and upgrading virtual mining nodes. The $PEPENODE presale has raised over $2.19 million, with the current token price at $0.0011638. Projections estimate $PEPENODE could reach $0.0072 by the end of 2026, offering a potential 519% return on investment, and potentially $0.0244 by 2030.

CME Group, a major derivatives marketplace, reported a record-breaking day for crypto futures and options trading on November 21st, with 794,903 contracts traded. This surpasses their previous record set in August. The increase in trading volume coincides with a period of volatility in the crypto market. Year-to-date, CME's average daily crypto derivatives volume has jumped 132% compared to last year, reaching $12 billion in notional value, while open interest has grown 82% to $26.6 billion. Micro Bitcoin futures and options also achieved a record daily volume of 210,347 contracts. CME Group is planning to introduce 24/7 trading for cryptocurrency futures and options in early 2026. Despite recent outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, CME's regulated derivatives platform continues to experience increased trading activity.

Metaplanet, a Japanese public company, has secured a $130 million loan using its Bitcoin holdings as collateral. This is part of a larger credit facility with a maximum limit of $500 million, of which they've now used $230 million. The funds are intended for buying more Bitcoin, expanding their Bitcoin-related businesses, and potentially buying back their own stock. Metaplanet currently holds 30,823 Bitcoins. This move comes as Bitcoin's price has fallen below Metaplanet's average cost, creating unrealized losses. The company is also trying to raise approximately $150 million through a preferred share offering to buy even more Bitcoin. Metaplanet's stock initially fell but has since recovered slightly. This approach of using Bitcoin as collateral for loans is a growing trend among companies, allowing them to access capital without selling their Bitcoin.

The price of Solana (SOL) increased following a significant inflow of $39.5 million into the Bitwise Solana ETF (exchange-traded fund). This represents a record inflow for the Bitwise SOL ETF. The price increase is potentially targeting a value of $150.

Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), are being sued by 306 American families who are victims of Hamas attacks. The lawsuit alleges that Binance facilitated over $1 billion in transactions for Hamas and other terrorist groups between 2017 and 2023. The plaintiffs claim Binance used weak identity checks and pooled wallets to allow sanctioned money to move undetected, and that CZ directed employees to hide customer locations and shield Hamas accounts from U.S. regulators. Specific Binance account holders, including the son of a Hezbollah chief and a Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative, are named in the complaint. This follows Binance's previous $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. authorities over anti-money laundering violations and CZ's recent presidential pardon.

JPMorgan has warned that Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, might be removed from the MSCI USA Index because of its large Bitcoin holdings. Strategy's stock has already fallen significantly, trading below $170 after a 69% drop from its peak. JPMorgan estimates that being removed from the MSCI index could lead to $2.8 billion in investors selling off the stock, and potentially up to $8.8 billion if other index providers follow suit. There are unverified claims circulating that JPMorgan has bet against Strategy's stock, and some customers have reportedly closed their JPMorgan accounts due to concerns about market manipulation. The company's CEO defends their business model, while analysts suggest a stock rally could cause problems for those betting against it. The market is awaiting MSCI's decision on index inclusion criteria, with Strategy's stock price remaining low.

Venture capital funding for crypto companies rebounded strongly in the third quarter, reaching $4.65 billion, the highest it's been since before the FTX collapse. This represents a 290% increase from the previous quarter. The funding was primarily focused on stablecoins, artificial intelligence, and blockchain infrastructure projects. While there were over 400 deals, a small number of large deals made up half of the total investment, with companies like Revolut and Kraken receiving significant funding. Pre-seed investments are declining as investors are more interested in later stage and mature companies. The United States continues to be the primary location for crypto venture capital activity, accounting for nearly half of all investments.

In Canada, a family was violently attacked in their home and robbed of $1.6 million in cryptocurrency. The attackers, posing as delivery workers, restrained the family, subjected them to physical and sexual assault, and forced them to transfer Bitcoin. One of the attackers pleaded guilty and received a seven-year prison sentence. This incident is part of a global trend of increasing violent attacks targeting crypto holders. Such attacks have risen significantly, with over 60 cases this year, surpassing last year's numbers by 33%. France has seen the most incidents. Similar attacks have occurred in the United States, including an $11 million crypto theft in San Francisco, and in other countries across Europe and Asia. Experts believe this rise in physical crime is linked to the increasing value of cryptocurrencies, leading criminals to use violence to steal crypto assets.

Grayscale's new Dogecoin ETF (GDOG) launched on the NYSE Arca exchange, but its first-day trading volume of $1.41 million was much lower than the $10-12 million analysts had predicted. The ETF holds 11.1 million Dogecoins across 94,700 shares and has a temporary 0% fee for the first three months or until assets reach $1 billion, after which it will be 0.35%. It is the first spot Dogecoin ETF in the U.S., converted from Grayscale's existing Dogecoin Trust with Coinbase Custody as the asset custodian. Following the ETF launch, Dogecoin's price saw a 3-5% increase, trading around $0.152, with total trading volume reaching $1.93 billion. Dogecoin faces resistance near $0.1530 and $0.1540, with potential support levels at $0.1460 and $0.1420.

AVAX One has significantly increased its investment in Avalanche (AVAX) by purchasing over 9.3 million AVAX tokens for $110 million, bringing their total holdings to over 13.8 million tokens. This large purchase was made during a period of market weakness. The company still has $35 million in cash available for further AVAX purchases or share buybacks. Additionally, a $40 million share buyback program has been approved. AVAX One believes that Avalanche's speed, infrastructure, and potential for institutional adoption make AVAX a valuable long-term asset. The company aims to increase the value of AVAX per share and align shareholder value with the growth of the Avalanche ecosystem.

Bitcoin's price is showing signs of a potential recovery due to a significant decrease in open interest, which represents the number of outstanding futures contracts. This drop suggests less reliance on borrowed money in the market, leading to more stable price movements. Simultaneously, there's an increase in Bitcoin leaving exchanges, indicating that buyers are accumulating Bitcoin for longer-term holding rather than quick trading. A key resistance level for Bitcoin is around $88,300; breaking above this point could pave the way for a 6% price increase towards $93,000. The MVRV Z-Score also suggests reduced selling pressure. If Bitcoin fails to surpass $88,300, it may remain in its current range. The decrease in open interest is the primary factor creating an opportunity for price recovery.

New Zealand will require financial literacy education for all students in Years 1-10, starting in 2026 and fully implemented by 2027. This curriculum will include digital currency and blockchain technology, covering topics like crypto markets, digital wallets, and decentralized networks. Currently, only 25% of students receive financial education, which has led to debt management issues among young adults. The curriculum will be age-appropriate, with younger students learning basic money concepts and older students studying investments, taxes, and digital assets. Teachers will utilize hands-on blockchain simulations, such as token systems and ledger exercises, to teach these concepts. The Ministry of Education is working with organizations like the Retirement Commission and Cryptocurrency NZ to develop teacher training programs and resources, preparing both educators and students for digital financial systems.

Eric Trump has revealed that a Bitcoin mining operation in America is currently producing 2% of the total daily supply of new Bitcoin. He also referred to cryptocurrency as a tangible asset.

Bitcoin experienced a recovery, briefly reaching $89,000 after a significant drop the previous week where it fell below $81,000. While Bitcoin showed modest gains, several alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) demonstrated more substantial increases. XRP rose by 7% to $2.20, and SOL increased by over 5% to above $135. Other notable altcoin gainers included KAS (22%), SUI (11%), and ENA (10%). RAIN saw the biggest jump, increasing by over 100%. Not all altcoins increased, ZEC and BCH experienced the biggest losses dropping 6.3% and 4.5% respectively. The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization increased by over $60 billion in a day, reaching $3.075 trillion.

The newly launched Grayscale Dogecoin ETF (GDOG) experienced a disappointing debut on the NYSE Arca, recording zero net inflows on its first day of trading, November 24. While the ETF saw approximately $1.41 million in secondary trading volume, it significantly underperformed expectations, falling short of the predicted $12 million. This lack of new capital entering the fund raises concerns about the demand for meme coin exposure within a regulated investment product, especially compared to other successful crypto ETFs like Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), which attracted substantial inflows due to its utility. The ETF's struggles highlight the risks associated with wrapping meme coins, including potential price volatility and discounts to Net Asset Value (NAV). The GDOG launch is happening amidst a broader market downturn, with digital asset investment products experiencing nearly $2 billion in net outflows, suggesting a challenging environment for new crypto ETFs. Experts are concerned that a flood of over 100 new single-token crypto ETFs could fracture liquidity and create problems for market makers.

Atleta, a blockchain designed for the sports industry, has secured a $15 million investment from VC firm Bolts Capital. Atleta aims to bridge the gap between the sports industry and Web3 by providing a secure and fast blockchain solution. The Atleta blockchain boasts 80 transactions per second and a 6-second block time. Its three-layer system includes an execution layer for smart contracts and transactions, a parachain system allowing sports teams to have dedicated chains, and a storage layer for decentralized data. Bolts Capital's investment will be used to develop Atleta's products and services. Atleta's mainnet launched in July, with its native token ATLA reaching a peak of almost $60 after starting at around $10 on the MEXC exchange. Future plans include integrating payment processors and AI for sports analysis, along with partnerships with sports clubs and equipment brands.

Bitcoin is facing a large monthly options expiry event valued at $13.3 billion. This expiry occurs as Bitcoin's current trading price is significantly below the 'max pain' price. Max pain is the price at which the most options contracts expire worthless, inflicting maximum financial pain on option buyers. The article indicates the potential for market volatility as traders adjust their positions leading up to and following the expiry.

The price of XRP increased by over 8% after several new XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) launched. These ETFs, offered by companies like Franklin Templeton, Grayscale, Bitwise, and Canary Capital, allow investors to invest in XRP through a regulated investment product. On November 24th, these XRP ETFs saw a total of $164 million in net inflows, marking the second-largest single-day inflow since their launch. Grayscale's GXRP led with $67.36 million, followed by Franklin Templeton's XRPZ with $62.59 million on its first day. Canary Capital's XRPC fund has accumulated $306 million in total investments since launching on November 21st. More XRP ETFs are expected to launch soon from companies like 21Shares and CoinShares.

The Canary Litecoin ETF has experienced zero inflows for five consecutive days, indicating a lack of institutional investor interest. The ETF currently holds $7.44 million in net assets, with only $7.26 million in net inflows since its launch. Daily trading value is low, around $747,600. In contrast, other crypto ETFs like XRP and Solana have seen significant inflows, reaching hundreds of millions of dollars. Lite Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Litecoin, faces over $20 million in unrealized losses on its Litecoin holdings. While new Litecoin ETF filings from Grayscale, CoinShares, and REX-Osprey are pending approval, the current lack of demand suggests Litecoin is struggling to compete with other cryptocurrencies like XRP and Solana. Some analysts remain optimistic about Litecoin's long-term potential, despite the weak ETF performance and corporate losses.

Solana's price bounced back to $140 after hitting a low of $121.50, representing a 14% increase, but it's still down 30% over the past month. Traders are betting on further price drops, as indicated by negative funding rates in the futures market. The total value locked in Solana has decreased by 20% to $10.5 billion, and weekly network fees are at their lowest since May. Despite the price struggles, Solana leads in active addresses and transaction count, showing a 13% increase in network activity. Key resistance levels for the price are at $144 and $170, while the $126 level is being watched as a potential support.

Ondo Finance has allocated $25 million to invest in Figure, signaling a change in their reserve management strategy. This investment represents a significant move by Ondo to diversify its holdings. The specific details of the investment, beyond the monetary value and the recipient, were not disclosed in the provided information.

Strategy Inc., which holds 649,870 Bitcoin, is facing increased financial pressure due to rising dividend obligations and a dwindling cash position. The company's cash reserves of $54 million are significantly less than the $700 million it owes annually in preferred dividends. This situation has been exacerbated by a slowdown in funding inflows and the loss of its premium over net asset value, making it difficult to raise equity without diluting shareholder value. A decision by MSCI expected on January 15, 2026, regarding the eligibility of companies with significant digital asset holdings for index inclusion, could trigger forced Bitcoin sales between $2.8 billion and $8.8 billion if Strategy Inc. is excluded, as 77% of it's assets are in Bitcoin. Concerns about market liquidity have also arisen, with fears that large Bitcoin sales could strain the market, especially during periods of volatility. The company's strategy of covering dividends through controlled Bitcoin sales is being questioned, with some arguing that selling $1 billion in Bitcoin annually may not be feasible.

Dogecoin is showing signs of a small recovery, with its price increasing by 2.3% in the last 24 hours. The current price of Dogecoin is $0.1495. For Dogecoin to continue rising, it needs to overcome certain resistance levels.

Ripple's XRP price rose significantly, reaching a weekly high of almost $2.30. This increase is largely attributed to the launch of new XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the United States. These ETFs experienced substantial initial inflows, with one Grayscale product debuting with $67.36 million and Franklin Templeton's ETF seeing $62.59 million on its first day, totaling $164.04M in net inflows for all XRP ETFs. Despite the positive price movement and ETF inflows, large XRP holders, often referred to as whales, have been selling off their holdings, offloading more than 180 million tokens. This selling pressure from whales could potentially impact future price stability.

In San Francisco's Mission Dolores neighborhood, a resident was robbed of $11 million in cryptocurrency. The assailant posed as a delivery person, and security footage captured him approaching the home. After tricking the resident into opening the door, the suspect forced his way inside, restrained the victim, and stole the crypto assets along with a phone and laptop. The CEO of Y Combinator, Garry Tan, shared the security footage and urged people to contact the police with any relevant information. The incident has sparked debate about the safety of self-custody for large crypto holdings, with Tan suggesting using vault storage services instead. The police are investigating, but no arrests have been made so far.

Bitcoin has dropped nearly 30% from its recent high, causing concern among investors. An AI model suggests a slow recovery for Bitcoin and indicates less than a 50% chance of it reaching $100,000 by the end of the year. The model estimates a 15% possibility of Bitcoin closing at around $84,500 or an 85% chance of finishing higher. Bitcoin's price is currently around $88,900, and investors who bought near $90,000 may be hesitant to buy more. Upcoming economic data could influence the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates in December, potentially affecting Bitcoin's price. The $80,000 level is considered a critical support level; falling below it could lead to further price declines.

Despite a recent 15% drop, the Zcash price rally may not be over according to technical analysis. The cryptocurrency is trading within an ascending triangle pattern, suggesting a potential continuation of the upward trend. A hidden bullish divergence, where the price makes a higher low while the Relative Strength Index (RSI) makes a lower low, also supports this view. Increased buying pressure during pullbacks, indicated by the Money Flow Index (MFI), further suggests renewed interest from smaller traders. Key levels to watch are $606, a break above which could lead to $684, and $743, a daily close above which would confirm the rally's continuation. Conversely, a break below the rising support near $469 would invalidate the bullish setup.

Bitcoin is potentially facing a short squeeze if its price rises above $87,000. This is indicated by current funding rates, which suggest that many traders are betting against Bitcoin (shorting it). If Bitcoin's price increases significantly, these traders might be forced to buy Bitcoin to cover their positions, potentially driving the price even higher. The funding rates are also hinting at a possible local bottom for Bitcoin, meaning the price might be close to its lowest point in the near term before a potential upward trend.

Private equity firm Bridgepoint is set to acquire a majority stake in ht.digital, a company specializing in auditing services for the cryptocurrency industry. This acquisition signifies increasing institutional interest and investment in the crypto sector, particularly in areas related to security and verification. The specific financial details of the deal have not been disclosed.

BitMine Immersion Technologies purchased 28,625 Ethereum (ETH) tokens for $82.11 million, at a price of around $2,800 per ETH on November 24, 2025. This increases their total ETH holdings to over 3.5 million, representing about 3% of the total supply. BitMine is proceeding with these purchases despite a recent price decline in Ethereum, viewing it as a temporary issue. The company is developing a staking network called MAVAN, scheduled for launch in early 2026. Ethereum's price is currently around $2,800, with analysts noting key resistance levels between $2,850 and $2,900. A failure to break above these levels could lead to a drop to $2,500. Technical indicators show mixed signals, with the RSI approaching oversold territory and the MACD remaining bearish.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a surge today, with multiple cryptocurrencies showing positive price movement. The article discusses whether this positive momentum indicates a larger, more sustained recovery is on the horizon for the crypto market. Details about specific price increases or which cryptocurrencies led the surge are not provided in the text.

Bitcoin's recent recovery from a pullback is showing signs of weakening, as it struggles below the $90,000 resistance level. There's a risk that Bitcoin may form another lower high, which could lead to a further price decrease towards the $80,000 support area. The key resistance zone to watch is between $86,800 and $87,500. A break above this level could trigger a stronger recovery towards $98,000-$100,600. However, if Bitcoin fails to hold above $82,900, it could drop to $80,000-$78,500, and potentially even lower to $73,500. Traders should anticipate increased price swings as Bitcoin tests these important levels.

Chainlink's price has fallen 55% since April, but there are signs of a potential rebound. Grayscale praised Chainlink, calling it critical infrastructure connecting crypto and traditional finance, and there are rumors of a possible Chainlink ETF in the US. Exchange reserves of LINK are at a two-year low, indicating reduced selling pressure. However, large holders (whales) have recently sold 31 million LINK, worth approximately $400 million, which could negatively impact the price despite positive indicators.

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, is facing a lawsuit from victims of Hamas attacks. The lawsuit alleges that Binance facilitated the funding of terrorism by allowing Hamas to use its platform for financial transactions. The plaintiffs claim that Binance knowingly allowed these activities to occur, contributing to the ability of Hamas to carry out attacks. The legal action seeks to hold Zhao and Binance accountable for their alleged role in enabling terrorism through their cryptocurrency exchange.

Bitcoin experienced its worst week since February, dropping over 30% from its recent high. Deutsche Bank identified five key factors contributing to this decline. These include a general risk-off sentiment in the markets, similar to high-growth tech stocks, and hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve regarding potential interest rate cuts. Regulatory uncertainty, particularly the stalled progress of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act in the Senate, also played a role. Additionally, institutional investors have been withdrawing capital from Bitcoin, and long-term holders are cashing out profits. While some mid-sized Bitcoin holders (10-100 BTC) and large whales (over 10,000 BTC) have begun accumulating again, holders with 1,000-10,000 BTC still need to reverse their selling pattern. Bitcoin traded around $86,844.85 with $72 billion in trading volume.

Bitcoin is rebounding towards $90,000, supported by institutions treating it as a core asset. This renewed interest fuels demand for technologies that make Bitcoin more useful in decentralized finance and other applications. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project aiming to improve Bitcoin's speed and programmability using Solana technology, has raised over $28.4 million in its presale at a price of $0.013325 per token. Bitcoin Hyper seeks to create a layer on top of Bitcoin that allows for faster and cheaper smart contracts. The project aims to release between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. Price predictions suggest a potential ROI of 1,400% by the end of 2026.

Ripple's XRP is currently trading around $2.20, with analysts closely watching the $2 support level. If XRP maintains support above $2, some analysts predict a potential rise towards $6.50 to $7.20. However, a drop below $2 could lead to a negative reassessment. Historically, the $2 level has triggered significant losses for XRP holders. Technical analysis indicates XRP is above its 200-day EMA, but a potential bearish crossover is being monitored. Recent exchange-traded fund (ETF) launches for XRP have seen significant inflows, with over $164 million coming in a single day. Grayscale's XRP ETF saw $67.36 million and Franklin Templeton's ETF saw $62.59 million in net inflows on their first day of trading, showing increased institutional interest.

A crypto whale, who previously earned $200 million by shorting the market during an October crash, has now invested $44.5 million in a long position on Ether through the Hyperliquid platform. This position was increased on Monday with an additional $10 million investment and quickly generated over $300,000 in profit within an hour. The whale's identity remains unknown, with speculation surrounding figures like former BitForex CEO Garret Jin, who has denied ownership but confirmed a connection. Ether's price has seen a 2% increase in the last 24 hours, currently trading around $2,900, and the whale's large bet is being closely watched by market participants.

BNB is currently trading at $860, holding above its support level of $850. Key support levels to watch are $840 and $820, while resistance levels are at $870 and $900. A potential price target to consider is $1578. The Stochastic RSI indicates strong buying interest, but caution is advised as it approaches overbought conditions. Buyers might consider entering positions near $855 or $840 with stop-loss orders placed below $815, while sellers could consider exiting near $870 or $900. The article emphasizes that this is not financial advice and encourages readers to do their own research before making any investment decisions, as cryptocurrencies are high-risk investments.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $86,000, having bounced back from a low of $84,500 after struggling to break through the $88,000-$90,000 resistance level. Arthur Hayes suggests a potential dip into the low $80,000s is possible, but expects strong support at $80,000. The Federal Reserve is ending quantitative tightening on December 1st, which should improve liquidity for crypto markets. Additionally, U.S. banks have increased lending in November, creating favorable credit conditions that could support Bitcoin's price. Technical analysis suggests that Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $88,000-$90,000 range to continue upward momentum, otherwise a retest of monthly lows around $82,000 is possible. Market sentiment is balanced, with moderate selling pressure from retail traders and limited large withdrawals from institutional holders.

Japan is introducing a new law in 2026 that will require all licensed cryptocurrency exchanges to hold liability reserves. These reserves are designed to protect customers in case of events like cyberattacks, fraud, or exchange failures. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is modeling the reserve requirements after those used in traditional finance, where major securities firms hold between 2 billion to 40 billion yen ($12.7 to $255 million). To ease the burden on smaller exchanges, regulators may permit them to use insurance policies instead of holding all reserves in cash. This measure is part of a larger effort by Japan to create a safer and more transparent environment for digital assets, including requiring registration for third-party custodians and strengthening regulations for stablecoins.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $2916, with a key support level at $2800. Resistance is expected near $3050 and $3100. The analysis suggests potential buying opportunities near $2920 or $2800, with stop-loss orders placed below $2800. Selling opportunities may arise near $3050 or $3100, with a potential profit target of $5823. The momentum appears weak, indicating a possible pullback. Traders are advised to exercise caution and manage risk carefully. A break below the $2920 level could lead to a drop to the $2800 support. There is a Fibonacci extension target of $5823.

SUI is experiencing renewed interest, currently trading around $1.42 after a modest 3.33% increase. Grayscale has launched a SUI Trust, offering institutions a regulated way to invest in SUI without directly holding the token. SUI is approaching a long-term support trendline that historically has preceded substantial rallies of 450% and 750%. Technical analysis indicates that SUI is nearing oversold territory, potentially signaling a significant price reversal, with a possible target of the $4 zone if it holds this key support level.

THENA, a decentralized exchange on the BNB Chain, has integrated Orbs' decentralized Stop-Loss Take-Profit (dSLTP) protocol. This upgrade allows traders on THENA to use automated stop-loss and take-profit orders, similar to features found on centralized exchanges. The dSLTP protocol enables users to set conditions for trades that automatically execute when a specific price is reached. Orbs designed dSLTP as part of a Layer-3 suite that includes decentralized limit orders and time-weighted orders. THENA's integration allows users to set stop orders with specific details like trigger price and expiry time. THENA has generated $40 million in revenue since January 2023.

Bitcoin is currently trading near $90,000 after a recent dip to the low $80,000s. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is introducing a layer-2 solution built on Solana to address transaction congestion and high fees on the Bitcoin network by allowing users to lock their Bitcoin and use it for decentralized finance, NFTs, and other applications. $HYPER has already raised $28.45 million in a presale at $0.013325. Franklin Templeton's crypto ETF is expanding beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum to include XRP, Solana, Dogecoin, Cardano, Stellar, and Chainlink. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is aiming to simplify multi-chain management with a non-custodial wallet that supports many different blockchains, on-chain swaps, and access to presales. $BEST has raised $17.45 million in a presale at $0.025995.

Bitcoin is currently around $88,692, attempting to recover after recent drops. Some analysts think Bitcoin has found a bottom and will rally, while others warn that if it doesn't hold above the $88,000-$90,000 level, it could fall below $80,000 again. A key range for Bitcoin is considered to be between $82,500 and $93,000, which was a consolidation zone earlier in the year. One analyst suggests that if Bitcoin follows historical patterns, it might retrace to around $40,000 in 2026 after a potential rally to around $110,000, and not reach a new all-time high until 2028.

Bitcoin experienced a price drop to around $79,500 after falling from approximately $106,000, followed by a recovery to about $88,000. Large Bitcoin holders, specifically those with over 1,000 BTC, have been selling off their holdings. Smaller wallets holding between 0.1 and 10 BTC have also been selling. Mid-sized wallets holding between 10 and 1,000 BTC have been buying, helping to stabilize the price. Liquidations of Bitcoin long positions have reached levels similar to those seen during the FTX collapse in 2022. Bitcoin is currently trading around $88,000, down 21% over the past month and about 30% below its all-time high.

XRP's price has increased by 7% recently, but a potential negative signal on its price chart could cause it to fall again. This signal involves the 100-day moving average potentially dropping below the 200-day moving average, indicating a weakening trend. Simultaneously, long-term holders of XRP are selling some of their holdings, adding to the downward pressure. If XRP fails to stay above $2.08 and $2.23, it could drop back to $1.95. To sustain its recovery, XRP needs to surpass $2.57. Despite these bearish indicators, XRP is experiencing high trading volume in Asia and has positive developments with new XRP ETFs, which could provide future support. However, the short-term price movement hinges on breaking the $2.57 resistance to continue upward or holding above $2.08 to avoid further decline.

BitMine announced it holds 3.63 million ETH, aiming for 5% of all Ethereum, with total crypto and cash holdings reaching $11.2 billion. Besides ETH, the company also possesses 192 Bitcoin, a $38 million stake in Eightco Holdings, and $800 million in cash. BitMine claims an average ETH purchase price of $2,840, though analysts dispute this, estimating it closer to $3,997, implying a significant unrealized loss for the company. Weekly ETH purchases show consistent accumulation. The market now awaits BitMine's clarification on its cost basis, continued ETH acquisition, and progress towards the 5% ownership goal.

On November 24th, Bitcoin ETFs experienced a net outflow of $151 million, with only Fidelity's FBTC showing inflows. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs saw net inflows of $96.67 million, primarily driven by BlackRock's ETHA, which received $92.61 million. Solana ETFs also performed well, reporting net inflows of $57.99 million. This indicates a potential shift in investor interest from Bitcoin towards Ethereum and Solana ETFs.

The altcoin market experienced increased volatility with several cryptocurrencies outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. Kaspa (KAS) rebounded with a 19.03% increase after recent losses, driven by its transition to a smart contract-enabled Layer-1 and increased trading volume. Sui (SUI) saw an 11.35% surge due to optimism surrounding potential Federal Reserve rate cuts and the launch of SUI futures on Coinbase. Bonk (BONK), a Solana-based meme coin, rose over 10% following the announcement of a BONK ETP launch on the Swiss SIX Exchange. Ripple's XRP climbed 8.22% amid bullish ETF inflows, with XRP spot ETFs recording significant net inflows. Ethena (ENA) rebounded by over 6% after a partnership announcement and strong Q3 revenue. Overall, the altcoin market showed signs of renewed activity, with key indicators to watch including Bitcoin dominance, trading volumes, and macro factors.

Berachain's co-founder disputes a report that Brevan Howard's Nova Digital fund had a special deal allowing them to get their $25 million investment back. This refund right, revealed by Unchained, let Nova Digital reclaim their money until February 2026, even after Berachain's token launched. Experts say such deals are rare, raising questions about transparency, especially since the BERA token is trading at $1.02, below Nova Digital's entry price. The co-founder argues the fund still holds a lot of tokens and that the report is inaccurate, blaming disgruntled ex-employees. The BERA token has dropped significantly from its high, causing losses for investors like Framework Ventures. Despite a recent network halt due to a security issue, Berachain is trying to recover, with a new deal involving Greenlane Holdings to create a digital asset treasury. Nova Digital is separating from Brevan Howard and will no longer be involved with Berachain after the split.

Crypto analyst MMBTtrader suggests the price of PEPE, a meme coin, could potentially rally if it holds a specific level. PEPE's price has fallen over 50% since October 2025 and is currently around $0.000004. The analyst believes the coin might be forming a bottom at this level after a 41% decline in the last 30 days. If PEPE successfully retests a broken trendline and resistance turns into support, the analyst predicts a potential 430% increase, reaching $0.000022 by 2026. However, PEPE will need to overcome resistance at $0.00000958 and $0.00001340 to achieve this target.

Solana's price increased by 5% due to activity surrounding the x402 protocol, which facilitates AI-driven payments on its blockchain, processing over 500,000 transactions worth over $100,000. This has sparked renewed interest in the Solana ecosystem. The Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is holding a presale for its multi-chain crypto wallet, designed for managing various cryptocurrencies, including Solana, with a focus on security and ease of use. The Best Wallet aims to capture a significant portion of the global crypto wallet market by 2026. The $BEST presale has raised $17.4 million and is ending in three days, offering tokens at $0.025995 with potential benefits like lower fees, governance rights, staking rewards, and early access to token launches. Projections suggest the token could increase significantly in value by the end of 2026.

Cardano (ADA) is showing signs of a potential price increase, possibly targeting $0.50. Large investors, known as whales, are increasing their purchases of ADA. Also, the funding rate in the derivatives market has turned positive, suggesting that more traders expect the price to rise. Technically, Cardano found support around $0.42, and if buyers continue to support the price, it could reach resistance near $0.49 and then potentially $0.50. However, a drop below $0.39 could lead to a further price decline.

Donald Trump's administration is attempting to prevent Elon Musk from testifying in a federal lawsuit concerning the dismantling of USAID. The lawsuit alleges that Musk, while acting as an advisor to Trump in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), illegally directed the shutdown of USAID through mass firings and cancelled grants. The Justice Department argues that forcing Musk to testify would violate legal protections for senior executive officials and interfere with the President's duties. The plaintiffs, former government workers and contractors, claim Musk exercised unconstitutional power without being confirmed by the Senate, breaching the separation between Congress and the Executive Branch. Evidence cited includes Musk's social media post seemingly taking credit for USAID's collapse. A separate case involving DOGE's administrator, Amy Gleason, regarding compliance with public records laws, is also ongoing, with the Supreme Court previously blocking her testimony. The central issue is determining Musk's actual role within DOGE and whether his actions warrant overriding typical legal protections.

The article discusses how the launch of Monads, a new cryptocurrency or blockchain project, highlights the unreliability of Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) as a forecasting tool, especially during Bitcoin price declines. The core issue is that FDV, which calculates a project's market cap based on the total supply of tokens, can be misleading. The Monads launch exposed this problem, likely because the initial price activity didn't align with FDV-based expectations, made worse by the broader market downturn in Bitcoin. Therefore, the article suggests that relying solely on FDV to assess a cryptocurrency's potential can be flawed, especially when market conditions are volatile.

The cryptocurrency exchange KuCoin has registered with Australia's financial intelligence agency, Austrac, allowing it to legally operate as a digital currency exchange in the country. This registration means KuCoin can offer its services under regulatory oversight in Australia, though it's not a full license. To expand its services, KuCoin has partnered with Echuca Trading, an ASIC-licensed firm, to offer regulated crypto futures products to Australian customers. Additionally, KuCoin has introduced fiat on-ramps, making it easier for Australian users to deposit Australian dollars and trade cryptocurrencies on the platform. KuCoin aims to further expand its regulatory presence in Australia and remain compliant with evolving local crypto regulations.

The recent crypto market crash has significantly impacted the Trump family's wealth, reducing it by an estimated $1 billion in the past month, bringing their net worth down to approximately $6.7 billion. The decline is attributed to losses in their crypto portfolio, including the TRUMP memecoin, Eric Trump's Bitcoin mining firm American Bitcoin (ABTC), and Truth Social's parent company, Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG). TMTG shares dropped to a record low, decreasing Trump's stake by around $800 million since September. The company's Bitcoin holdings, acquired at an average price of $115,000, have also decreased in value. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), considered a key crypto operation for the family, has also seen its value fall from $0.26 to around $0.15. Despite these losses, representatives for the family and companies remain optimistic about the long-term potential of cryptocurrency. Eric Trump also suggested the downturn represents a buying opportunity. Hut 8 Corp shares, which Eric Trump has a stake in through American Bitcoin Corp, have also declined significantly, further impacting his wealth.

Pi Coin's price has increased this month while Bitcoin's has decreased. Although Pi Coin is currently down 1.5% today, it's up 6.1% over the last week and 15% this month. The price has been stuck between $0.22 and $0.24 since November 17th. Analysis shows that large investors are still buying Pi Coin, indicating potential for a price increase. However, smaller investors aren't as active, and overall trading volume is neutral. Pi Coin needs to break above $0.24 to rally, which would be a 4% increase and could lead to further gains towards $0.26 and $0.29. On the other hand, falling below $0.22, a 5% decrease, could lead to a drop to $0.21. The direction Pi Coin takes depends on whether it can break out above $0.24 or falls below $0.22.

On November 24th, Bitcoin spot ETFs experienced significant outflows of $151 million, indicating a decrease in investor interest amid bearish market sentiment. Fidelity's Bitcoin ETF (FBTC) was a notable exception, seeing inflows of $15.49 million. BlackRock's iShares, however, faced outflows exceeding $2.2 billion in November. In contrast, Ethereum ETFs attracted $96.67 million in inflows, with BlackRock's ETHA leading at $92.61 million, signaling growing confidence in Ethereum. Solana ETFs also maintained positive momentum, securing $57.99 million in inflows, showcasing strong institutional demand and highlighting the altcoin's focus on scalability and security. Investors appear to be diversifying beyond Bitcoin, carefully evaluating individual crypto projects based on their underlying potential and market narratives.

The Cardano Foundation has approved a proposal to use funds to get Cardano-based tokens listed on more international cryptocurrency exchanges. This proposal, submitted by the Snek Foundation team, aims to make these tokens more accessible to a wider audience and help the Cardano ecosystem grow.

Monad's newly launched token, MON, is experiencing a price decline due to selling pressure from airdrop recipients. The current price is around $0.02, raising concerns about further drops. A whale investor is currently holding a significant loss on a long position opened at a higher price. The initial sale price on Coinbase was $0.025 and roughly 10.8 billion MON tokens were unlocked at launch, representing 10.8% of the total supply, contributing to market pressure. The continuous selling by those who received the airdrop and a general downturn in the crypto market are driving the price down. Some analysts predict a potential drop to $0.01. Predictions for the token price vary over time, with short-term expectations being bearish (around $0.01-$0.03), mid-term being neutral to slightly bullish ($0.025-$0.05), and long-term being potentially high-risk but high-reward ($0.10 - $0.50+) if the platform sees adoption and usage.

Galaxy Digital, a financial services and investment management firm focused on digital assets, is aiming to tap into the prediction market sector, which it estimates to be a $9 billion opportunity. The company has initiated discussions with Polymarket and Kalshi, two prominent prediction market platforms, to potentially provide liquidity to their markets. This move indicates Galaxy Digital's intent to become a player in this growing area of the cryptocurrency and financial landscape by supporting the trading and betting on future events via these platforms.

Monad's MON token experienced a 35% price increase following its launch, bucking the trend of many airdrop tokens that typically decline quickly. However, the initial surge is now slowing down due to potential selling from airdrop recipients and decreased interest from traders. Data from perpetual futures contracts indicates a bearish shift, with large investors reducing their long positions and smart money showing a strong short bias. The flow of big money into MON is weakening, as indicated by the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicators. Key price levels to watch are $0.044 for potential upside and $0.029 for downside risk, with a break below this level potentially leading to a 25% price drop to $0.023. The high number of unlocked tokens and ongoing movement of funds to exchanges could lead to continued price volatility.

A Hyperliquid trader, known for making $200 million during a market crash in October, has now invested $44.5 million in Ether, betting on its price to increase. This trader's activity is being closely watched because they have a history of making profitable trades. The identity of this trader is unconfirmed, though blockchain investigators have linked the wallet to Garret Jin, former CEO of BitForex, who has denied ownership but acknowledges knowing the person behind it. Meanwhile, Arthur Hayes, former CEO of BitMEX, believes that Bitcoin's recent price drop likely represents a temporary low point and expects Bitcoin to stabilize, although he doesn't foresee it exceeding $90,000 in the near future. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's upcoming decisions and lending policies are contributing to market volatility.

Strategy has significantly changed its funding approach in 2025, raising $20.8 billion so far this year through a mix of common equity ($11.9 billion), preferred equity ($6.9 billion), and convertible debt ($2.0 billion). This is approaching its 2024 total of $22.6 billion and signals a stronger connection to its Bitcoin holdings. A key change is the introduction of preferred equity as a major component, unlike 2024 where the company relied on common equity and convertible debt. Strategy also used structured offerings like STRF, STRC, STRE, STRK, and STRD, which contributed to the total capital raised. The company is using this capital to support its Bitcoin treasury strategy, making it appealing to institutional investors and allowing flexibility in different market conditions.

The SEC has granted Fuse Crypto a "no-action" letter, meaning the agency won't take enforcement action against them, essentially confirming their FUSE token is not classified as a security. Fuse Crypto uses its FUSE token to reward customers who participate in green energy initiatives, such as installing solar panels or using electric vehicle chargers. The SEC's decision indicates a potentially more open stance toward crypto businesses seeking regulatory clarity and is the second no-action letter the SEC has issued for tokens in recent months, following one for DoubleZero's 2Z token in September. Fuse argued that its token is earned based on consumption, not investment, aligning with the SEC's criteria for avoiding security classification, and allowing Fuse Crypto to continue expanding its green energy initiatives.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, stated his dissatisfaction with macroeconomic factors influencing the price of ADA, Cardano's cryptocurrency. He highlighted that Cardano, like the overall cryptocurrency market, has been negatively impacted by these broader economic conditions.

Binance and its executives are facing a new lawsuit in the United States. Over 300 victims and families affected by the 2023 Hamas attack on Israel are suing the crypto exchange. They allege that Binance knowingly facilitated cryptocurrency transactions that provided support to Hamas leading up to the October 7th attack.

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is reportedly planning to require crypto exchanges to hold reserves to cover potential liabilities to customers. This move aims to improve the security and stability of the crypto market in Japan by ensuring exchanges have sufficient funds to compensate users in case of losses or security breaches. The implementation details, including the specific reserve requirements and timeline, are yet to be officially announced by the FSA.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $2,930, a level considered critical because it has historically acted as both strong support and resistance. One analyst suggests that a drop below $2,800 could lead to a price decrease towards $2,170, while a successful defense by buyers could target $3,400. Despite a recent dip below $2,700, Ethereum is showing signs of recovery, though it has yet to break past the $3,000 mark. Spot Ether ETFs are seeing renewed inflows, with BlackRock's ETHA fund purchasing $88 million worth of ETH on Monday. Ethereum digital asset treasuries are also accumulating ETH, with BitMine adding 70,000 ETH, now holding 3% of the total supply. Ether DATs collectively hold more ETH than ETFs, accounting for 6.36 million ETH or 5.26% of the total supply.

A market commentator suggests that although XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) haven't immediately caused a large price increase, they could create the conditions for a significant price surge in the future. Currently, there are four spot XRP ETFs available, with Grayscale and Franklin having launched their products in November.

The crypto market is facing a week where over $566 million worth of new tokens will be released into circulation. This increase in supply could put downward pressure on prices, especially since many tokens like HYPE, XPL, and JUP are already experiencing price declines. Hyperliquid (HYPE) will unlock $327 million in tokens, Plasma (XPL) unlocks $17.53 million, and Jupiter (JUP) unlocks $12.83 million. These unlocks happen when the market is already showing weakness which may cause further instability. The combined effect of these unlocks may lead to price volatility as traders react to the increased supply and current market conditions. The strength of the market will be tested as it tries to absorb these new tokens, and the direction prices take will depend on whether new buyers emerge to support demand.

The Canary Litecoin ETF (LTCC), the only Litecoin ETF in the US, has seen zero net inflows for five consecutive trading days, with net assets at $7.44 million and total traded value at $747,600 since its launch on October 28, 2025. This contrasts sharply with XRP and Solana ETFs, which have seen inflows of $586 million and almost $570 million, respectively. Lite Strategy (LITS), a corporate holder of Litecoin, is also experiencing a $20.67 million unrealized loss on its Litecoin holdings. Three more Litecoin ETFs from Grayscale, CoinShares, and REX-Osprey are awaiting regulatory approval, but it's uncertain if they will revive investor interest, as the current ETF performance reflects skepticism about Litecoin compared to other cryptocurrencies. Some analysts remain optimistic, projecting Litecoin could reach $1,000 to $2,000, while the disparity between retail optimism and institutional caution persists.

Pump.fun, a platform for launching memecoins, is facing scrutiny after on-chain analyst Lookonchain reported large outflows of USDC and SOL from wallets linked to the platform. Lookonchain highlighted that 436.5 million USDC was sent to Kraken since October 15, and 4.19 million SOL, valued at $757 million, was sold between May 2024 and August 2025. Pump.fun is refuting these claims, stating that the movements are part of internal treasury management related to their PUMP ICO, and not evidence of cashing out. They insist that the funds are being reorganized across wallets to support operations and growth, and they deny any direct business relationship with Circle, despite on-chain flows showing USDC moving to Circle-related wallets via Kraken. Pump.fun maintains that the treasury diversification is normal for companies managing their finances, and that it's not mismanagement. The disagreement highlights the challenges of interpreting on-chain data without full context.

Grayscale has launched the first U.S. spot Dogecoin ETF, GDOG, which allows investors to gain exposure to Dogecoin without directly owning it. GDOG will trade with a 0% fee for the first $1 billion in assets or three months, after which the fee will be 0.35%. The ETF is structured as a trust and is not a direct investment in Dogecoin, carrying risks including price volatility and potential loss of principal. A competing Dogecoin ETF from Bitwise, BWOW, is set to launch shortly after. The introduction of a Dogecoin ETF marks a significant step for memecoins, placing them alongside established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum as an investable asset class accessible to a wider range of investors, including those with retirement accounts and financial advisors.

The GENIUS Act, initially seen as crypto regulation, may primarily serve to manage government debt. Each stablecoin dollar must be backed by US Treasury bills, potentially mandating billions in government debt purchases. The stablecoin market cap is currently around $309 billion and could lead to $3 trillion in purchases by 2030. Every $3.5 billion in stablecoin growth reduces government borrowing costs by 0.025%. A $3 trillion market could save taxpayers approximately $114 billion annually. The Treasury now controls who can create digital dollars, requiring them to fund government debt. This shift also sees regulatory control moving from the Federal Reserve to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, which reports to the Treasury Secretary.

A popular indicator called Bitcoin aSOPR, which tracks whether Bitcoin investors are selling at a profit or loss, has been consolidating for two years. In previous cycles, the aSOPR hit a high point during bull runs, indicating significant profit taking, and a low point during bear markets, suggesting heavy losses. Currently, the aSOPR hasn't reached the same high as in past cycles, leading to the question of whether Bitcoin has yet to reach its peak. The aSOPR is nearing the end of its consolidation pattern, meaning a breakout, either upwards or downwards, could happen soon. Bitcoin is currently trading around $86,300, a 9% decrease over the past week.

KuCoin, a cryptocurrency exchange, has registered with AUSTRAC, the Australian financial intelligence agency, allowing it to legally operate in Australia. This registration enables KuCoin to offer services to Australian users, including new ways to deposit and withdraw Australian dollars (fiat on-ramps), making it easier for them to buy and sell cryptocurrencies on the platform.

Rain Protocol's native token experienced a significant surge of over 120% following the announcement that Enlivex, a public biotech company, is deploying $212 million into the Rain Protocol ecosystem. This substantial investment represents a major corporate commitment to a Web3 prediction market protocol, signaling a move towards mainstream adoption of on-chain forecasting. In addition to the financial boost, former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is joining Enlivex's board, bringing political experience and wider visibility to the company. This combination of capital injection and high-profile leadership is reshaping perceptions of prediction markets within both crypto and traditional finance sectors, validating Rain Protocol's vision of a permissionless, open, and incentivized prediction market.

Franklin Templeton, a major asset manager handling over $1.7 trillion, has acknowledged XRP's important position in international payment systems. This announcement aligns with the launch of Franklin Templeton's new XRP ETF, called XRPZ, which occurred on Monday.

The Monad (MON) airdrop launch experienced significant issues, including claim failures, bridge errors, and trading difficulties. Many users reported that their tokens did not appear or could not be moved using official tools, leading them to use third-party platforms like Jumper Exchange for bridging to Solana or Ethereum. One wallet, 0x676a, holding 5.61 million MON, panic-sold 5.5 million MON for $131,000 USDC at $0.0239, below the public sale price of $0.025. Users are selling quickly due to the claim experience, bridge problems, weak community communication, the recent market crash, and concerns about long-term price support. The price volatility is driven by heavy selling and technical issues, coupled with a weak broader market.

The price of XRP increased following news that spot ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) experienced significant inflows of $164 million. This means investors are putting a large amount of new money into these funds, which in turn are purchasing XRP, thus driving up its price. The increased investment suggests growing interest in XRP from institutional investors.

Dogecoin (DOGE) experienced a 5% price increase. This price movement is being attributed to the debut of a new Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) which triggered what analysts are calling the first significant reversal signal in several weeks for the cryptocurrency.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has granted a "no-action" letter to Fuse, a Solana-based project focused on decentralized physical infrastructure. This means the SEC will not take enforcement action against Fuse regarding the sale of its FUSE token, offering regulatory protection. The SEC's decision is based on Fuse's assertion that the token is designed for network participation and rewards users who maintain the distributed infrastructure, not for speculative investment. The FUSE token can only be redeemed through third parties at the prevailing market rates. This is the second time in recent months that the SEC has granted such relief to a DePIN project, leading to speculation that the SEC is taking a more measured approach under its new leadership.

Analysts are suggesting that centralized crypto exchanges might become less important over the next ten years as smaller teams develop better tools on blockchains like Solana. These new tools aim to make trading, transferring funds, and accessing capital simpler and faster than using traditional exchanges. Solana is being considered as a potential platform where users can directly access crypto markets without needing a centralized exchange, potentially using services like SoFi to connect directly to Solana-based assets. The increasing amount of Bitcoin being moved off of exchanges into self-custody wallets suggests a shift towards these on-chain systems. However, some believe that centralized exchanges will remain relevant due to their easy-to-use interfaces and familiarity for most users. The future will likely be a competition between on-chain tools and centralized exchanges, with Solana playing a key role.

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) plans to require cryptocurrency exchanges to hold mandatory liability reserve funds to compensate customers for losses from hacks or unauthorized outflows. Exchanges may be permitted to use insurance to cover a portion of these reserves. The FSA aims to submit a bill in 2026 to formalize this requirement, drawing inspiration from regulations in Japan's securities market. Additionally, the FSA is proposing stricter registration rules for crypto custodians and service providers, mandating that any third-party handling crypto assets or trading management be registered. This is part of a broader effort to strengthen consumer protection and align crypto regulations with those governing traditional financial products, with a goal to reclassify crypto assets under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act by 2026.

The Monad blockchain mainnet has launched, offering fast transactions and compatibility with Ethereum-based applications. A total of 1 billion MON tokens will fuel the network, with over 30% allocated to ecosystem incentives to reward early users and developers through airdrops and other programs. Approximately 25% is for research and development, 15% for community airdrops, 15-20% for investors, and 10-12% for the team and advisors. The MON token is available on major exchanges like Coinbase, with withdrawals to the Monad network expected soon. Users can access Monad using wallets like Rabby Wallet, MetaMask, and Phantom. While the official Monad Bridge will be available, Mayan Finance offers an alternative bridging option with additional MON incentives for early users.

XRP's price increased by 7%, marking its largest price jump in several weeks. This increase happened as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) connected to Ripple, the company associated with XRP, became available for trading.

Cathie Wood of ARK Invest anticipates Bitcoin and crypto markets could see a turnaround around December 10, expecting the Federal Reserve to ease monetary policy around that time, which would restore liquidity to the market. This timeline is also tied to the release of upcoming employment data, which will impact market sentiment. Wood believes that the crypto market is facing a temporary liquidity squeeze due to broader economic conditions, rather than fundamental problems within the crypto space itself. ARK Invest has adjusted its Bitcoin price target for 2030 from $1.5 million to $1.2 million, but this change is attributed to the growth of stablecoins, not a weakening of Bitcoin's underlying potential. She believes Bitcoin could reach half of gold's market capitalization over time and considers the current market conditions a buying opportunity for long-term investors. Wood highlights that Bitcoin tends to recover quickly when liquidity returns to the market, rebounding faster than traditional investments when capital starts flowing back in.

XRP's price increased nearly 10% today, approaching $2.30, while other major cryptocurrencies struggled. This rise is attributed to significant inflows into newly launched XRP ETFs, reaching $85 million by the end of Monday's trading session. Large transfers of XRP, including $33.6 million to Coinbase and $73.1 million to a new wallet, suggest accumulation by large investors anticipating future price increases. Additionally, Ripple's growing global recognition, including SBI Group's 9% ownership and discussions about XRP's role in cross-border payments, are contributing to investor confidence. An analyst predicts that if XRP breaks out of its current wedge pattern, it could rise to $3.50, supported by increasing demand from the six live XRP ETFs and the upcoming launch of 13 more.

XRP's price increased nearly 10% today, approaching $2.30, while other major cryptocurrencies struggled. This surge is primarily attributed to significant inflows into newly launched XRP ETFs, which recorded over $85 million in volume by the end of Monday's trading. Large XRP transfers into Coinbase ($33.6 million) and a new wallet ($73.1 million) indicate accumulation by large holders, potentially anticipating future price increases. Furthermore, SBI Group's substantial ownership in Ripple (9%) and XRP's role in cross-border payments, including discussions within BRICS, contribute to its rising global recognition. Analysts predict XRP could reach $3.50, driven by increased ETF demand, with 6 ETFs already live and 13 more planned.

Traders have placed bets totaling $1.7 billion on Bitcoin potentially rising above $100,000. These bets, made using Bitcoin options, indicate a belief that Bitcoin's price will increase significantly. However, the options data also suggests that these traders don't anticipate Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high, implying a target price below its previous peak.

Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) are being sued by families of victims of the 2023 Hamas attack. The lawsuit alleges that Binance facilitated over $1 billion in crypto transactions for Hamas and other terror groups, even after U.S. enforcement actions. The plaintiffs claim Binance knowingly provided financial services to Hamas and actively tried to shield these customers from U.S. regulators and law enforcement. The lawsuit states that Binance had weak identity checks and limited records, allowing sanctioned money to move undetected. The plaintiffs' attorneys say Binance's actions were more extensive than previously disclosed by the U.S. government. Binance stated that it complies with internationally recognized sanctions laws and declined to comment on the lawsuit. The lawsuit also identifies accounts linked to individuals associated with Hezbollah and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ).

XRP experienced a 7% increase, reaching around $2.25, while the broader crypto market faces bearish pressure with an overall market capitalization of $3.02 trillion. XRP's trading volume increased by over 49%, reaching $6.19 billion, and saw $11.87 million in liquidations in the last 24 hours. Technical indicators suggest potential for further upward movement towards $2.30 and potentially $2.37, but a reversal could lead to a fall to support levels at $2.16 or lower. The MACD, CMF, and BBP indicators point towards increasing bullish momentum, but the RSI indicates an overbought condition, suggesting a possible pullback.

Despite a recent cryptocurrency market crash that saw a trillion dollars wiped out, some analysts believe a major bull run is still ahead. They compare the current market situation to 2019, not 2021, and the COVID crash of 2020, suggesting it's not a prolonged bear market. One analyst points to Tether dominance as a sign of potential rotation into crypto assets and expects altcoins to outperform Bitcoin. Bitcoin has shown signs of recovery, reaching an intraday high of $89,000 on Monday and settling around $88,000 Tuesday morning, up 8.5% from Friday's low.

Galaxy Digital, led by Mike Novogratz, is planning to become a liquidity provider for prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket. These platforms allow users to bet on real-world events, and Galaxy's involvement would help ensure smooth trading activity. They are already experimenting with market-making on a small scale. Other firms, including Susquehanna International Group and Jump Trading, are also involved in providing liquidity. Kalshi is facing pushback from state gambling regulators over offering markets tied to sports results, but argues it operates under federal oversight. Donald Trump Jr. is an advisor to both Kalshi and Polymarket. Polymarket has re-entered the U.S. market after settling with the CFTC and acquiring QCX, a derivatives exchange, for $112 million.
