Over 184 million Shiba Inu (SHIB) tokens were burned in a single day, causing the burn rate to increase significantly. This burning of tokens reduces the overall supply, which could potentially lead to price increases in the future. Shiba Inu has also partnered with Unity Nodes, allowing users to earn rewards and SHIB-themed NFTs by acquiring Nodes with SHIB. Despite these developments, the price of SHIB has decreased by eight percent this month, and activity on Shibarium has declined. Currently, Google searches for memecoins are at very low levels. Shiba Inu is showing signs of a potential price increase after recovering a key support level. The token's momentum is leaning bullish, and a breakthrough above 0.0000100 could lead to further gains. However, failure to maintain support could result in a price decrease. An alternative project called PepeNode, which offers a play-to-earn crypto mining experience, is gaining popularity with over $2.11 million raised so far. PepeNode features a deflationary design where a significant portion of tokens used for upgrades are burned, and it offers staking rewards.

On November 13, 2025, market analysts observed potential signs of significant investors accumulating Worldcoin. Large wallet addresses are increasing their holdings of Worldcoin while the amount of Worldcoin on exchanges is decreasing. Worldcoin is trading around $0.79, with a market capitalization of $1.80 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $151.56 million. There are 2.27 billion tokens currently in circulation. Technical analysis suggests a possible rebound if buying activity continues. Key resistance levels are projected near $2.07, $3.68, and potentially $5.60.

Bitcoin's price is dropping, falling below $100,000 after a recent rally. This happened even after the U.S. government shutdown ended, which usually boosts markets, but crypto didn't respond this time. Investors are nervous due to overall economic risks and rising interest rates. Bitcoin struggled to stay above $102,000, suggesting the market is losing steam. Over $200 million in Bitcoin positions were closed as people reduced risk, and Bitcoin investment funds have seen money leaving them for three days straight. Bitcoin is currently trying to hold support near $98,500, with resistance around $102,000-$104,000. The drop seems more like a temporary pullback after a strong October, rather than the start of a long decline. If Bitcoin can stay above key support levels and investment funds stabilize, the market could consolidate before potentially rising again.

Trading volume has increased, and XRP futures open interest has also seen a jump, indicating rising institutional interest.

Kyrgyzstan is shutting down all cryptocurrency mining operations due to electricity shortages. The country relies heavily on hydroelectric power, and a major reservoir is at critically low levels. The Energy Minister announced the decision to close all mining farms to conserve electricity and maintain the water level in the Toktogul reservoir. Kyrgyzstan will receive up to 200 million kilowatt-hours from Kazakhstan to stabilize its power grid during peak winter consumption. Crypto mining has been cited as a reason for energy shortages across the region, including in Kazakhstan and Russia, which have also implemented restrictions. Kyrgyzstan's parliament recently approved a bill to regulate crypto activities, including mining, and the country's finance ministry registered a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by gold.

Dogecoin's largest holders, excluding exchanges, significantly increased their holdings in early November. These wallets, holding between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE, accumulated approximately 4.72 billion DOGE in about two weeks, bringing their total to around 32.4 billion coins. This accumulation occurred while Dogecoin's price experienced a downturn, reaching a low of about $0.16 before a slight recovery to around $0.175. Dogecoin's price is currently below a previous uptrend line, which now acts as resistance around $0.18, and faces further resistance near $0.21. Support lies at $0.1563 and $0.1299.

Canarys has launched a spot XRP Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) under the ticker symbol XRPC on the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Ethereum leaders, including Vitalik Buterin, have released a 'Trustless Manifesto' advocating for decentralized blockchain systems that rely on mathematical verification instead of trust in intermediaries. This comes after criticism that Ethereum is becoming too centralized. The manifesto outlines requirements for decentralized systems, including self-sovereignty for users and censorship resistance. Concerns about centralization were raised when a former Ethereum developer revealed that a small group of people has significant control over the project's direction and resources, and that core developers are underpaid. Additionally, there are concerns about the growing influence of venture capital firm Paradigm within the Ethereum ecosystem and their involvement in a competing blockchain project called Tempo, which has raised $500 million at a $5 billion valuation.

Aerodrome, a leading decentralized exchange (DEX) on the Base blockchain, is undergoing a significant overhaul and merging into a new entity called Aero.

The cryptocurrency PEPE has increased in value by 4.1% over the last week and is currently trading at $0.00000587. It is currently testing a crucial support level and analysts suggest a potential target price of $0.00001924, which would be a 10-month high, if bullish momentum continues.

The article suggests that Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, Cardano, and XRP could see increased buying activity if former President Trump implements a proposed $2,000 stimulus check program. This potential stimulus is anticipated to drive investment into these cryptocurrencies. The expectation is that individuals receiving the stimulus checks may allocate a portion of those funds to purchasing these digital assets.

MicroStrategy's stock market value has fallen below the value of its Bitcoin holdings for the first time in years, signaling the end of its Bitcoin premium. The company holds 641,692 Bitcoins acquired at an average cost of $74,085 per coin, still showing unrealized gains. MicroStrategy's financing model, which relies on convertible bonds, is weakening as its stock price faces pressure and bond buyers become more cautious, with no new convertible bonds issued since February 2025 and a shift towards preferred share offerings with higher interest rates. Simultaneously, on-chain data indicates that long-term Bitcoin holders are taking profits near the $100,000 level, leading to a decline in long-term holder supply. This shift in market dynamics presents a challenge for MicroStrategy and its Bitcoin accumulation strategy as the company's ability to continue buying Bitcoin depends on a potential future price increase.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has become the first central bank to add Bitcoin to its balance sheet. They created a $1 million test portfolio containing Bitcoin, a USD stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit. The CNB aims to study blockchain assets, specifically how custody, settlement, reporting, and risk management function. This experiment will evaluate Bitcoin's potential as a future reserve asset and will be analyzed over the next two to three years. The initial investment will not grow beyond the allocated $1 million and was purchased outside the bank's traditional reserves.

BNB's price has fallen below $960, indicating a potential further price decrease. Traders are anticipating this continued downward trend due to prevailing technical market conditions.

The Nasdaq has significantly outperformed Bitcoin in 2025, with gains of 21.86% compared to Bitcoin's 2.96%. Despite this, Wintermute suggests Bitcoin's underperformance and negative correlation with the Nasdaq may indicate it's nearing a bottom. Bitcoin's price tends to fall more sharply during equity sell-offs than it rises during Nasdaq gains, a negative asymmetry not typically seen near market tops. Factors contributing to Bitcoin's lag include a shift in market interest towards equities and AI, along with decreased liquidity in the crypto market. Some analysts suggest Bitcoin could reach $145,000 after hitting a structural bottom in the $98,000-$104,000 range, and that holding above $110,000 is crucial for a strong year-end.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $102,600 after a period of volatility. It's holding near a support level, but there's uncertainty in the market. Bitcoin needs to break above $106,000 to test the $110,000 level, but it is facing resistance there. If it fails to hold its current level, it could drop towards $94,250 or even $90,000. On-chain data suggests that recent Bitcoin buyers are selling at a loss, indicating a lack of confidence in the market. If this continues, further price declines are possible in the near term.

According to Ava Labs, this launch demonstrates how real-world assets and DeFi can integrate to provide accessible on-chain yield.

BNY Mellon is planning to launch a reserve fund specifically for stablecoin issuers, targeting the $1.5 trillion stablecoin market. This fund will hold the reserves that back stablecoins, which are cryptocurrencies designed to maintain a stable value, often pegged to the US dollar. BNY Mellon, as a custodian, will manage these reserves on behalf of stablecoin issuers.

Digital Currency Group (DCG), Grayscale's parent company, will retain control through Class B shares with higher voting power, classifying Grayscale as a controlled company. Institutional interest in crypto is rising, with 83% of institutional investors planning to increase their crypto exposure this year, which could contribute to Grayscale's growth.

XRP is showing potential upward movement against both the USDT and Bitcoin after a period of stability. XRP is approaching a resistance point of $2.50 against USDT. A successful break above this level could lead to further gains towards $2.70, while failure could see it drop towards $2.00 or $1.75. Against Bitcoin, XRP is testing resistance around 2,500 satoshis. Surpassing this could push it towards 3,000 satoshis, while failure may result in a fall back to 2,000 satoshis. The next few trading sessions will be important to determine XRP's future direction.

The crypto market is currently focused on presales, especially in the "PayFi" sector, which combines payments and decentralized finance. Two prominent presales are Digitap ($TAP) and Remittix (RTX). Remittix has raised $28 million and offers a service for sending money internationally using cryptocurrency with transparent fees. Digitap is presented as a more comprehensive platform, aiming to integrate fiat, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies into a single "omni-bank" environment with multi-rail architecture for faster and cheaper transactions. Digitap also offers Visa cards and has a live app on iOS and Android. A key feature of Digitap is its tokenomics, allocating 50% of platform profits to burn tokens and reward stakers.

Premier Cho Jung-tai and Central Bank Governor Yang Chin-long have expressed interest in exploring Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The government is planning to create pro-Bitcoin regulations within six months. They also intend to pilot Bitcoin treasury holdings using seized Bitcoin. The government will conduct an inventory and audit of confiscated Bitcoin by the end of 2025. A detailed report on the pros and cons of using Bitcoin as a strategic reserve will also be provided by the Central Bank before the end of the year. Legislator Ko Ju-chun advocated for BTC-friendly rules and integrating Bitcoin into Taiwans sovereign asset mix. The immediate focus is using seized Bitcoin as a treasury pilot to assess custody, accounting, and risk management before considering new Bitcoin purchases. Currently, BTC is trading at $103,674.

Pi Coin is facing challenges due to weak investor support and a generally negative market. Transaction activity is low, with only about $2.45 million worth of PI moved in the top 100 transactions over the past 24 hours, indicating a lack of engagement from major holders. Technical indicators suggest increasing bearish pressure, potentially leading to a price drop. Currently trading around $0.227, Pi Coin is stuck between $0.234 and $0.217. A continued lack of investor support could see the price fall below $0.217. However, increased investor support and a break above $0.234 could lead to a rise towards $0.246, signaling a possible stabilization.

The analysts point to a multi-year consolidation pattern as a sign that Chainlink is preparing for a significant breakout.

The market shows caution due to ETF outflows, low leverage, and strong put demand.

Bitcoin's price has decreased by 2.1% in the last 24 hours, even as the US government shutdown ends. Some traders believe the shutdown's resolution is only temporary, with short-term funding that doesn't address the core issues, causing continued uncertainty and preventing a market rebound. Another perspective is that the overall crypto market sentiment is weak due to various factors, making the shutdown a less significant influence on the price decline. Bitcoin is currently trading at $102,900. XRP is experiencing increased interest as investors anticipate the potential launch of a US-based Spot XRP ETF this week.

JPMorgan has launched JPMD, a deposit token representing actual deposits held at the bank, on Coinbase's Base network. This allows JPMorgan clients to settle transactions 24/7 within the bank's network, bypassing the traditional limitations of Fedwire's operating hours. Pilot transactions are already underway with companies like B2C2, Coinbase, and Mastercard. While this currently only applies to transactions between JPMorgan clients, it puts pressure on other banks to offer similar services. If other major banks issue compatible tokens or align with industry initiatives, this could evolve into a new, programmable clearing layer for the banking system. Coinbase's Base network benefits by attracting institutional dollar flows, and Ethereum gains a new source of economic activity. However, until multi-bank interoperability is achieved, JPMD remains a closed system with smart contract capabilities.

Taiwan is planning to audit its exposure to Bitcoin and consider adding it to its national reserves, with a report expected by the end of 2025. This follows a push from lawmakers who view Bitcoin as a hedge against the US dollar. Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves are substantial, so even a small allocation to Bitcoin could be significant.

Crypto analyst Zach Rector stated that XRP is unlikely to reach $100 this year, tempering expectations for massive price increases. He noted that while unrealistic price predictions should be avoided, XRP has shown stability compared to other cryptocurrencies. Rector advised investors to focus on upcoming events like the potential for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) and the resolution of the U.S. government shutdown, which could positively influence XRP's price. An XRP community member suggested a more moderate price target of $8 to $10 by the end of the year and $13 to $14 at the peak of the current market cycle. Despite not expecting triple-digit gains, investors are optimistic about XRP's potential for steady growth and increased institutional adoption, especially if XRP ETFs become available.

Aztec Network, a privacy-focused network built on Ethereum, is launching its token sale using Uniswap Labs' new Continuous Clearing Auction (CCA) system. This system is designed to make token launches more transparent and accessible. Registration for the sale begins today, with public bidding running from December 2nd to December 6th, 2025. The auction will start with the tokens valued at $350 million, which is 75% less than Aztec Labs' last fundraising effort. To prevent larger investors from controlling the sale, there will be limits on how much each person can participate.

The Czech Central Bank has purchased Bitcoin. This event is noteworthy as it signals a potential shift in perception, suggesting Bitcoin is increasingly being considered as a viable reserve asset by national financial institutions. The specific amount of Bitcoin purchased by the Czech Central Bank was not disclosed in the article, but the news highlights a growing trend of cryptocurrency adoption within traditional financial systems.

Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, is considering launching a new, separate token for its Arc blockchain network. Currently, USDC is used to pay transaction fees on Arc. Circle believes a dedicated token could encourage more people to use the network and participate in its governance. The Arc network was launched in October and is designed for stablecoin use and enterprise payments. Circle's net income increased by 202% year-over-year to $214 million this quarter, and the amount of USDC in circulation grew by 108% to $73.7 billion.

Europol and Eurojust conducted a joint operation, Operation Endgame, taking down over 1,025 servers used by malware operations including Rhadamanthys infostealer, VenomRAT, and the Elysium botnet. These malware families infected hundreds of thousands of computers and stole millions of credentials. The operation, supported by several private partners, targeted ransomware infrastructure and disrupted major malware operations like DanaBot, IcedID, and Trickbot. The main suspect behind Venom RAT was arrested in Greece, and authorities seized 20 domains. The suspect behind Rhadamanthys infostealer had access to at least 100,000 crypto wallets. A new interagency task force in the US was created to combat crypto scams, estimating losses could be over $9 billion.

Chainlink (LINK) is showing signs of a potential price increase. It has been consolidating within a tight two-week triangle pattern, which often precedes a significant price movement. There's also been a notable outflow of $26 million worth of LINK from the Binance exchange, suggesting that large investors are accumulating the token and moving it to cold storage, reducing the available supply on exchanges. This accumulation trend, coupled with the listing of a proposed spot Chainlink ETF, which could attract institutional investment, indicates a potentially bullish outlook for LINK. Traders are watching for a breakout from the current consolidation pattern, which could lead to price targets of $22, $31, and $50.

A report by Bybit's Lazarus Security Lab revealed that 16 blockchains, including Aptos and BNB Chain, have the ability to freeze user funds. Five of these chains, including BNB Chain and VeChain, have this capability built directly into their core programming. Ten other networks, like Aptos, EOS, and Sui, can freeze accounts through configuration changes managed by validators or foundations. The research also indicated that 19 more blockchains, such as Arbitrum and Cosmos, could easily add fund freezing controls if they chose to. While this feature can help prevent theft, its existence raises questions about decentralization in these blockchain systems.

Users can make predictions on fight results using the Polymarket platform and see how their predictions compare to the overall sentiment of other users in real-time during UFC broadcasts.

XRP's price is currently down over 1% at $2.43, with trading volume decreased by more than 25%. Despite a 9% gain over the past week, it's down nearly 6% over the last month. The decline coincides with a decrease of over 4% in XRP Futures Open Interest to $3.91 billion. A crypto analyst noted that large XRP holders, known as whales, have sold off 90 million XRP this week. Some speculate retail investors and institutions are buying XRP while whales and exchanges are selling. An analyst suggested XRP could recover if it holds the $2.39 support level, with a potential rise to $3.15 if it breaks the $2.75 resistance. A potential XRP ETF launch is anticipated, which could improve market sentiment. Failure to hold the $2.39 support could lead to a drop to $2 or lower.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has launched a $1 million test portfolio that primarily includes Bitcoin. This initiative aims to explore blockchain technology's potential in reshaping financial systems. The portfolio consists of Bitcoin, a USD stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit for diversification. The CNB emphasizes that this investment is separate from its international reserves and monetary policy. Over the next 2-3 years, the CNB plans to share insights gained from managing this test portfolio.

The European Union (EU) is preparing to present a revised trade action plan to the U.S. in November, following up on the agreement reached this summer that set a 15% tariff ceiling on EU exports to the U.S. The EU's plan aims to address technical barriers, digital trade issues, and standards, while also seeking cooperation on steel and aluminum overcapacity. The EU hopes to secure lower tariffs on additional products like spirits and wines, concerned that tariffs risk undermining the agreed-upon 15% ceiling. The EU also aims to buy over $750 billion worth of U.S. liquified natural gas, oil, and nuclear energy products over three years and plans to invest $40 billion in U.S.-made AI chips and is open to EU companies investing $600 billion in U.S. sectors by 2029. The EU is promising better market access for $7.5 billion of specific non-sensitive U.S. agricultural exports, subject to tariff rate quotas.

Crypto analyst Weslad predicts Bitcoin's price could significantly increase, potentially doubling in the next upward wave. This prediction is based on Bitcoin's strong macro bullish structure that has remained intact despite market dips. The analyst identifies $92,000 to $101,000 as a crucial support level that must hold to maintain bullish momentum. If this level holds, the price could rally to an initial target of $142,000-$190,000, with a possible peak of $297,092. This price movement is projected to begin in late 2025, with the majority of the rally happening in 2026 and reaching its top around August 2026. The analyst views any declines within the defined demand areas as buying opportunities, reinforcing a long-term bullish outlook as long as key levels hold.

Coatue Management's Philippe Laffont sold all of his Super Micro Computer shares and invested in CoreWeave during the second quarter of 2025. CoreWeave saw revenue growth of 134% in the third quarter of 2025 due to new contracts with OpenAI and Meta. They also increased their credit facility to $2.5 billion in November 2025. In contrast, Super Micro's profit margins have been declining for four straight quarters. CoreWeave is projected to have 90% annual revenue growth through 2027, while analysts expect Super Micro earnings to grow 29% annually over three years.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $103,129, a slight decrease from yesterday. The price is stuck within a narrow range, with traders closely watching for a potential breakout. Key levels to watch are $105,300 as resistance and $100,000 as support. There are significant amounts of buy and sell orders clustered around $100,000 and $108,000, suggesting that a move past either of these levels could lead to a rapid price swing. Trading volume remains high at over $74 billion, indicating strong market interest. The price recently dipped below $101,400 before bouncing back, showing uncertainty among traders. A break above $105,300 could push the price towards $107,200, while a drop below $100,000 might lead to further declines.

Cryptocurrency traders are feeling pessimistic, especially about XRP. Data shows that social media comments about XRP are overwhelmingly negative, more so than for Bitcoin and Ethereum. Some analysts believe this extreme fear could signal a market bottom, where prices are low before a potential rise. Bitcoin is currently around $104,000, and if it doesn't stay above that, it could fall back to $100,000. Ethereum is just above $3,500, but its stability is uncertain. The negative sentiment towards XRP comes as the first XRP ETF launched, which is a big deal, but traders are still worried. XRP is trading around $2.50, up 8% in the last week but still below its all-time high. A key support level to watch is $2.41; if it falls below that, it could drop to $2.00. Interestingly, some experts believe there could be a shortage of XRP, with fewer coins available on exchanges, and the ETF could bring in billions of dollars. However, there's also a risk that people will sell off their XRP after the ETF launch, despite the positive long-term outlook. The conflict between the fear of traders and the potential for growth will likely determine what happens to XRP's price.

Mizuho has significantly lowered its price target for Beyond Meat stock to $1, citing weak sales and ongoing financial struggles. The company's third-quarter revenue fell 13.3% year-over-year to $70.2 million, despite slightly exceeding analyst expectations. Losses widened, with an adjusted loss of 47 cents per share, worse than the anticipated 41 cents. Beyond Meat also took a $77 million impairment charge and burned through $42 million in cash during the quarter. Looking ahead, the company forecasts fourth-quarter revenue between $60 million and $65 million, indicating another double-digit decline. The stock has plummeted nearly 79% over the past year, reflecting investor concerns about the company's performance and the overall demand for plant-based meat alternatives. Sales declines were seen across U.S. retail and foodservice channels, with only international foodservice showing a slight revenue increase.

The crypto market is showing optimism, with Solana (SOL) drawing attention. Analysts predict Solana could reach $500, citing network growth. However, Ozak AI (OZ) is gaining interest for integrating artificial intelligence with blockchain. Ozak AI has raised over $4.5 million in its presale and sold over 1 billion tokens. Analysts predict Ozak AI could potentially see 100x returns from its current presale price of $0.012, with a target price of $1. Ozak AI's ecosystem includes partnerships with Perceptron Networks, HIVE, and SINT. Audited by CertiK and Sherlock, Ozak AI is listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko.

Bitcoin's price remained just under $104,000, with market analysis suggesting a potential upward move due to significant short liquidations stacked above the current price. Most other major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Litecoin, saw minor gains. South Korea's NH NongHyup Bank is testing a stablecoin system for tourist VAT refunds. Prediction market Polymarket has relaunched in the United States. The Ethereum Foundation released a Trustlessness Manifesto emphasizing decentralization. The Japan Exchange Group is considering stricter rules for publicly listed companies holding large amounts of crypto, while Taiwan is exploring adding Bitcoin to its national reserves. Canary Capital has filed for a MOG Coin ETF. A single trader caused a $30 million disruption on the Hyperliquid platform through highly leveraged positions. Singapore is tightening stablecoin rules ahead of CBDC expansion.

The Uniswap (UNI) price is showing potential for a rally in 2025. Technical charts indicate UNI is trading near $7.525, a potential support zone. A large whale wallet has been accumulating UNI tokens. If UNI breaks through the $11 resistance level, the next target is $14. Uniswap's team has proposed reactivating a fee switch, which would redirect trading fees to buy and burn UNI tokens, potentially making UNI a deflationary asset. Analysts predict that if UNI maintains its buying momentum and breaks the $11 resistance, it could reach $14 or higher in 2025. The network currently hosts over 440,000 active addresses, indicating it is considered a safe purchase.

Yahoo Finance's Invest 2025 event is underway, featuring discussions on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.

The x402 protocol recently experienced significant growth, processing 3.3 million transactions worth approximately $3 million in a single day. Analysis of transaction data indicates that the most common uses are paywalls and utilities (21.8%), social and distribution tools (13.8%), and token/NFT launches (13.5%). Infrastructure providers, particularly those that verify payments and settle transactions, appear to be best positioned to benefit from this growth. Base facilitators currently handle 78% of transaction volume, with PayAINetwork, daydreamsagents, and x402rs managing the remainder. The Base chain dominates x402 activity, accounting for 85-90% of transactions, though x402 is designed for cross-chain use. Since its launch, x402 has processed over 18.82 million transactions, a 35-fold increase since May, with most activity flowing through Coinbase and Daydreams. Common use cases include payments for model inference, API calls, and on-chain services.

Nvidia's stock experienced a slight dip of 0.7% in premarket trading despite positive analyst revisions ahead of its upcoming earnings report on November 19th. Oppenheimer increased its price target to $265 from $225, and Susquehanna raised theirs to $230 from $210, both citing strong demand for AI-related products. Nvidia reported $500 billion in cumulative orders for high-end GPU products, with deliveries planned over the next five quarters. Analysts project revenue of $287 billion for Nvidia next year, reflecting 39% growth, with some estimates reaching as high as $412 billion. AI startup Anthropic intends to invest $50 billion in American data-center infrastructure, potentially utilizing Nvidia chips.

Stellar's XLM cryptocurrency has increased in value by over 6%, breaking past $0.29 and approaching a key resistance level of $0.30. This upward movement is driven by potential new partnerships for Stellar and positive market sentiment surrounding the possible launch of XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S. XLM's trading volume has increased significantly, and if it breaks through the $0.30 resistance, the next target is around $0.35. The Stellar Development Foundation is working with Turbo Energy and Taurus to tokenize debt financing for solar energy projects, beginning with a pilot program in Spain. The SEC is also developing a framework for classifying crypto tokens, which could provide regulatory clarity and benefit Stellar.

The likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December has decreased. This is because Fed officials are expressing continued concern about inflation, which is still considered to be on the rise. This caution from the Fed is impacting market expectations for future monetary policy decisions.

Ethereum staking has grown significantly in 2025, with a 28% increase in staked ETH since the beginning of the year. The total staked ETH supply now exceeds 36 million tokens, nearing an all-time high. This growth is partly attributed to the Dencun upgrade, which allows for larger staking amounts. Increased staking activity often coincides with ETH price increases. Large investors, or 'whales,' are contributing substantially to the staking growth, with 4.1 million ETH originating from whale wallets in the fourth quarter. Binance's staking pool holds over 24% of all staked ETH. Staking offers returns of up to 6.5%, with liquid staking tokens providing access to the value of locked ETH. However, unstaking ETH can take over 37 days, and new deposits may wait 21 days before earning rewards. A total of 2.15M ETH are currently waiting to be unstaked. Additionally, over 27 million ETH are held in self-custodial wallets, indicating long-term accumulation.

Morgan Stanley has named Micron Technology their top pick, raising the price target to $325, which suggests a potential 32% increase from the current stock price. This upgrade is based on the rising prices of DDR5 memory, which have tripled in just over a month. The memory market is experiencing conditions similar to the 2018 shortage, but with Micron's earnings starting from a higher level. Morgan Stanley forecasts that Micron will achieve $25 in earnings per share by 2026, anticipating continued upward revisions as the DRAM market strengthens. They also indicate that DRAM price increases are likely understated, with actual transactions exceeding reported levels. Currently, Micron holds a Strong Buy consensus rating from 30 Wall Street analysts, with 27 Buy and 3 Hold recommendations.

Ethereum's price is increasing, primarily due to a decrease in the amount of ETH available on exchanges and an increase in the amount being staked. Currently, only about 10% of all ETH is held on exchanges, less than Bitcoin's 14%, which reduces selling pressure. Almost 30% of all ETH is now staked, locking it up and further reducing the available supply. This scarcity is driving the price upward, with the next major resistance level to watch being $3,912. If that level is surpassed, the price could move towards $4,000 and potentially higher to $4,102, and then $4,760. While some large holders are selling, the overall trend shows more ETH leaving exchanges than entering them, supporting the price increase.

According to reports, the Czech National Bank (ČNB) has made a purchase of Bitcoin, making it the first central bank globally to officially add Bitcoin to its holdings. Details regarding the amount of Bitcoin purchased or the specific purpose of the acquisition have not been disclosed. The purchase marks a shift in sentiment towards cryptocurrencies from a traditionally risk-averse institution, however, the significance and long-term implications are still unknown.

Ethereum is showing potential signs of recovery after a period of decline. Large Ethereum holders, possessing between 1 million and 10 million ETH, have purchased approximately 460,000 ETH in the last four days, valued at $1.6 billion. This substantial buying activity suggests confidence among major investors. Additionally, there's a decrease in long-term holders selling their Ethereum, which reduces overall selling pressure. Ethereum's current price is around $3,540 and needs to break through the $3,607 resistance level to continue upward momentum. Failure to overcome this resistance could lead to a drop towards the $3,287 support level.

The first XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S., trading under the ticker $XRPC, launched on Nasdaq today. This allows traditional investors to easily invest in XRP through standard brokerage accounts. The launch of the XRP ETF is leading to interest in altcoins like PEPENODE ($PEPENODE). PEPENODE features a mine-to-earn game, staking rewards around 607%, and a presale price of $0.0011454. The PEPENODE presale has raised over $2.12 million. Potential future price predictions for PEPENODE are $0.0023 in 2025 and $0.0072 in 2026, but these are based on the team delivering the promises of the roadmap.

Chainlink is launching Confidential Compute, a new service within its Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE), aiming to solve the privacy issues preventing large financial institutions from fully participating in the $3.4 trillion crypto market. This technology processes sensitive data off-chain and provides verifiable results on-chain without revealing the underlying data or logic. It uses trusted execution environments (TEEs) initially, with plans to incorporate zero-knowledge proofs and other advanced cryptographic methods in the future. The goal is to enable institutions to use proprietary data and execute transactions on public blockchains while maintaining confidentiality and complying with regulations. Early access is scheduled for 2026, followed by a broader rollout later that year. This service aims to facilitate tokenized assets, cross-chain payments, and compliance checks without exposing sensitive information.

According to Bitget Wallet CMO Jamie Elkaleh, XRP could see increased adoption and potentially affect its market value in 2026 due to regulatory changes and adoption in Japan, the UAE, and Europe. Japan already uses XRP for remittances through SBI Remit, making immediate growth potential high. The UAE's virtual asset regulations are creating a favorable environment for crypto payment infrastructure, increasing its potential for XRP adoption. Europe's MiCA framework is setting the stage for long-term growth, but adoption may take longer due to institutional caution. Elkaleh emphasizes that real-world usage, not just regulatory announcements, will drive XRP's market value. The combination of regulatory clarity and operational progress in these regions could shift XRP's market value toward utility rather than speculation.

Oracle's stock has fallen over 30% since September, despite a 36% increase earlier that month driven by a surge in contracted work, which tripled to $455 billion due to strong AI server demand. Despite this drop, Mizuho Securities maintains a Buy rating with a $400 price target, suggesting a potential 75% upside. Other Wall Street analysts generally rate the stock as a Buy as well. The stock decline is attributed to concerns about margins, financing, and capital spending. Oracle's upcoming December quarterly results are crucial to demonstrate its ability to convert AI demand into profits. CoreWeave's earnings report also suggests continued strong demand for AI computing, which supports the bull case for Oracle.

XRP experienced a 6% price increase following news that four major asset management firms (Canary Capital, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares) filed amended S-1 forms to launch spot XRP ETFs. Additionally, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), a key player on Wall Street, is incorporating new crypto ETFs into its clearing system. This enhances the legitimacy of the crypto ecosystem for institutional investors. The article suggests approaching XRP investments cautiously, considering staggered purchases during dips rather than investing everything at once. It also briefly mentions PepeNode, a meme coin project, as a high-risk, high-reward alternative. Ultimately, the decision to invest in XRP or PepeNode depends on an individual's risk tolerance.

Japan's stock exchange operator, JPX, is considering stricter rules for publicly listed companies that heavily invest in cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin. This comes after some of these companies, modeled after MicroStrategy, experienced significant stock declines, leading to losses for investors. The JPX is concerned about investor protection and is exploring measures like limiting backdoor listings and imposing new audit requirements for firms that shift their focus to accumulating crypto assets. Several Japanese companies have already put crypto-buying plans on hold due to warnings from the JPX about potential fundraising restrictions. Metaplanet, a Japanese company that pivoted from hotels to Bitcoin and is now a major Bitcoin holder, asserts it is different from other crypto-hoarding firms due to its strong governance and shareholder approval processes. Metaplanet's CEO and Head of Bitcoin Strategy highlight that they consistently consult shareholders on important matters, distinguishing them from companies making rapid, unapproved shifts to crypto strategies. Metaplanet reported strong financial results in Q3 2025, driven by its Bitcoin holdings, with substantial increases in revenue, profit, and total assets.

Metaplanet's president addressed concerns about the company's transition to a Bitcoin treasury strategy, emphasizing strong governance and transparency. The company held five shareholder meetings over two years to approve changes related to Bitcoin accumulation, including amendments to corporate articles, increased authorized shares, and new share classes. These actions were taken to align the company with the trend of firms adopting digital assets. Japan Exchange Group is reportedly increasing its scrutiny of companies shifting towards digital asset ventures, but Metaplanet asserts full compliance with corporate governance standards and management continuity. The company clarifies that its transition wasn't a backdoor listing and that the same executive team has overseen all corporate resolutions since before the shift toward Bitcoin operations.

The European Union has launched the Democracy Shield initiative to combat disinformation and harmful content online, particularly from foreign interference. The EU Commission will establish a DSA incident and crisis protocol to enhance cooperation with authorities and react more quickly in cases of major disinformation incidents. This plan includes increased scrutiny of tech companies like Google, Microsoft, Meta, and TikTok, potentially requiring them to better detect AI-generated or altered content. A European Centre for Democratic Resilience will coordinate resources among member states to improve collaboration and data sharing. Additionally, the EU is considering allocating more spectrum frequencies to telecom operators to prevent falling behind the U.S. in 6G development. A Radio Spectrum Policy Group recommends allocating 540 MHz of the 6 GHz spectrum to mobile operators, with the decision on the remaining 160 MHz for Wi-Fi companies being held until 2027. The EU aims to finalize spectrum allocation decisions before 2027 and deploy the Democracy Shield across member states by 2026.

Ripple's Chief Technology Officer (CTO) emphasized the security of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) in response to a discussion initiated by XRPL Labs founder Wietse Wind regarding a 2020 proposal for incorporating lightweight WebAssembly (WASM) smart contracts into the XRPL. The CTO's comments focused on the security aspects of the XRPL, specifically in relation to potential vulnerabilities associated with trustless bridges that connect different blockchains.
