Ethereum's price decreased by 10%, reaching a base of $3,150. The article discusses whether this dip in price presents a buying opportunity for investors.

The cryptocurrency market has recently experienced a downturn, with the total market capitalization dropping by over 20% since October, from $4.4 trillion to $3.32 trillion. Bitcoin fell below $100,000 and Ethereum decreased to the mid-$3,000 range, leading to liquidations and caution in the market. Despite this, some analysts believe this is a temporary pause and that stronger projects will emerge. XRP Tundra is presented as one such project, highlighting its dual-chain system and documented roadmap. Its Phase 11 presale continues at $0.183 per TUNDRA-S (with a 9% bonus) and TUNDRA-X at $0.0915. The project has generated over $2.5 million in presale contributions and distributed over $32,000 in bonus rewards. XRP Tundra emphasizes its utility, transparent presale mechanics, external audits, and KYC verification to build market confidence. The project's dual-token structure, staking rewards, and liquidity infrastructure are designed for long-term resilience.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $97,000, causing concern as over $1.1 billion in long positions were liquidated within 24 hours. Analysts are watching two key support levels: $87,000, considered a strong support based on on-chain activity, and $74,000, a level that could trigger a significant sell-off. An analyst also noted a pattern similar to past bear markets, suggesting a potential further correction. Adding to the concern, MicroStrategy, a major Bitcoin holder, has started selling Bitcoin for the first time in two years, having sold 33,000 BTC worth $3.2 billion. To avoid a deeper correction, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $100,000-$105,000 level soon; otherwise, it could test $87,000 and possibly $74,000.

Visa's former Head of Innovation has left the traditional finance company to create WeFi, an on-chain bank. This means the individual is transitioning from a large, established payment processing network to focus on building a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform operating on a blockchain.

a16zcrypto reports growing demand for privacy solutions in the crypto space, indicating that privacy is becoming essential for further adoption. Interest in blockchain privacy and private payments has increased significantly, with Zcash's shielded pool growing to four million ZEC by 2025. The Railgun privacy app is projected to exceed $250 million in transaction volume in 2025. Major networks like Ethereum and NEAR are integrating privacy features, and firms like a16z and Pantera have invested in privacy projects. Development activity on zero-knowledge proofs and multi-party computation is also on the rise. Regulatory clarity is improving, and privacy is expected to become a core demand in crypto by 2026. Google searches for privacy terms have surged, and Zcash shielded supply has increased significantly since 2021.

Recently, some Bitcoin holders sold off a significant amount (29,400 BTC) at a loss, raising concerns as Bitcoin's price is near a crucial level. Long-term holders have also been selling off, with the past month seeing the most sales since January 2024. Despite this, analysts suggest remaining calm. Data indicates that long-term holders are taking profits, which is typical in a bull market. Bitcoin is currently trading around its 365-day moving average of $102,000, seen as a key support level. The derivatives market is also deleveraging, potentially clearing the way for a market recovery. Spot demand is showing signs of recovery.

Aave Labs has received authorization under the European Union's MiCA framework, enabling them to operate regulated stablecoin on- and off-ramps within the European Economic Area. This approval, granted by the Central Bank of Ireland to Aave's subsidiary Push Virtual Assets Ireland Limited, allows Push to offer euro conversions into digital assets, including Aave's stablecoin GHO, with zero conversion fees. This positions Aave Labs as one of the first DeFi projects licensed in the EU and aims to provide a regulated alternative to centralized exchanges, expanding stablecoin infrastructure across Europe. The company processed $542 million in volume over the past 24 hours, and users currently hold more than $22.8 billion in borrowed assets across its lending pools. Ireland is emerging as a regulatory hub for on-chain finance, with Kraken also securing MiCA approval there recently. The global stablecoin market has surpassed $300 billion. Meanwhile, ESMA has raised concerns about Malta's crypto licensing process, emphasizing the need for consistency across EU member states under MiCA.

Coinbase is publicly opposing efforts by banking associations to broaden the ban on interest related to stablecoins. The American Bankers Association and 52 state banking associations are lobbying the Treasury Department to define "interest" very broadly in the context of the GENIUS Act, which would effectively ban rewards and discounts tied to stablecoin payments. Coinbase argues this goes against the original intent of the GENIUS Act, which only prohibits stablecoin issuers from paying interest directly. Coinbase believes the proposed restrictions would harm consumers and stifle innovation by eliminating market-based incentives. Banks are concerned that stablecoins could lead to significant deposit outflows, potentially reducing lending capacity by $1.5 trillion. Meanwhile, Coinbase has launched a savings account for UK users, offering 3.75% AER with FSCS protection, and criticizes the Bank of England's proposed restrictions on stablecoin holdings.

The company's upcoming BETA Game Launch intends to demonstrate the future of cloud gaming and Web3 integration.

The crypto and stock markets experienced a broad downturn, with the S&P 500 falling by about 1.8% and the crypto market declining by 6% to a total market cap of $3.2 trillion. Bitcoin fell 5.8%, Ethereum 9.4%, XRP 8.8%, Solana 9.2%, and BNB 5.2%. Over $1.1 billion was liquidated from futures markets, including over $500 million from Bitcoin positions. The downturn is attributed to shifting expectations regarding interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, crowded positioning in tech and AI stocks, and a general decrease in risk appetite. The market is moving away from high-growth areas like tech and AI towards more defensive sectors like healthcare, impacting tech-heavy indices. Concerns about fiscal negotiations, potential government shutdowns in the US, and tighter fiscal conditions in Europe are also contributing to market caution. Bitcoin and other large-cap digital assets are behaving as high-risk expressions of the macro environment, and rising real yields and a stronger dollar are leading to reduced exposure to both tech and crypto.

JPMorgan's Kinexys division has launched the JPM Coin, a USD deposit token, on Coinbase's Base network, connecting the bank's massive payment flows to the Ethereum ecosystem. This token represents dollar deposits held at JPMorgan and facilitates near real-time settlements on Base. Unlike stablecoins, JPM Coin is fully backed by bank reserves, effectively bringing traditional finance dollars onto the blockchain. JPMorgan's payment network processes about $10 trillion daily, and even a small percentage of this volume moving on-chain could significantly increase Ethereum's transaction count and fees. All transaction fees on Base are paid in ETH, so increased activity from JPM Coin directly translates to increased demand for Ether. The launch underscores JPMorgan's strategy to merge traditional payment rails with blockchain rails, and early trials involved major players like Mastercard and Coinbase.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has released guidance regarding the applications for crypto-based Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) now that the government shutdown has concluded. This guidance is specifically for pending applications, suggesting that the SEC is now able to continue its review process for these investment products. The end of the shutdown allows the SEC to resume its normal operations, including the evaluation of these complex financial instruments that would allow investors to gain exposure to cryptocurrencies through traditional stock exchanges.

BYD, a Chinese electric car maker, is moving away from using its internal payment system called Dilian to pay suppliers. This system involved issuing electronic IOUs, which suppliers have criticized due to long payment periods and potential costs for early cashing. The change comes amid a price war in the Chinese auto industry, putting pressure on suppliers. New regulations in China aim to shorten payment times and improve industry practices. BYD's Dilian system reportedly complies with current regulations, however, suppliers can still use Dilian notes to settle payments to their contractors. BYD's payment terms to suppliers averaged 127 days last year, longer than the industry average of 108 days and global car manufacturers. A report indicated BYD's true debt, factoring in supply chain financing, was significantly higher than reported. The new rules in China require car manufacturers to pay suppliers within 60 days and prohibit non-cash payments.

Grayscale's recent IPO filing with the SEC revealed a challenging financial period. The company reported a net loss of $318.7 million and a 20% decrease in revenue during the first nine months of 2025, with revenue falling to $318.7 million from $397.9 million the previous year. While Grayscale won a court case in 2023 allowing them to convert their Bitcoin Trust into a spot Bitcoin ETF, their ETF (GBTC) has experienced over $21 billion in outflows in 2024 and an additional $3 billion this year, attributed to its higher 1.5% fee. Grayscale is managing $35 billion in assets across 40 products. The company raised $250 million through a private placement to invest in crypto tokens and its own products. Digital Currency Group will maintain control after the IPO through Class B shares. Grayscale's IPO is occurring amid renewed crypto interest. The IPO, expected to trade under the symbol GRAY, will be led by Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Jefferies, and Cantor Fitzgerald.

Stellar's XLM price has decreased by more than 50% from its 2025 peak. During this decline, Grayscale, a crypto investment fund, adjusted its XLM holdings. Before XLM's price significantly increased in November 2024, Grayscale increased its XLM holdings from 70 million to 119 million XLM. Since early 2025, Grayscale has slightly decreased its holdings to 116.8 million XLM and paused further accumulation, but hasn't aggressively sold, indicating a long-term perspective. The Grayscale Stellar Lumens Trust (GXLM) shares trade at a premium, with a market value of $24.85 compared to a Net Asset Value (NAV) of $22.29. Grayscale's XLM holdings represent a small fraction (0.36%) of the total circulating XLM supply. Despite the price drop, the Blockchain Payments Consortium (BPC), including the Stellar Development Foundation, was launched to promote blockchain-based payment standards. The Stellar network saw growth in full-time developers and real-world asset tokenization.

Dogecoin's price has decreased by 7.1% in the last 24 hours, bringing it to $0.1623. The market capitalization is $24.63 billion, and the 24-hour trading volume has increased by 48.04% to $3.1 billion. Technical analysis of the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests that Dogecoin might experience a bullish breakout soon. Previously, Dogecoin's price rose from around $0.060 in May to over $0.300 in early July before declining. Currently, the price is fluctuating around $0.160, and analysts are watching for signs that it could break through resistance levels and start a new upward trend. The current trend shows a consistent decline with minimal recovery.

This article provides updates on promising cryptocurrency presales as of November 14, 2025. Presales offer the chance to invest in projects at their earliest stage. The article highlights several projects, including Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin scaling that has raised $27M, Maxi Doge ($MAXI), a meme coin which has already raised $4M, PepeNode ($PEPENODE), Snorter Token ($SNORT) a low fee Telegram trading bot, and Best Wallet Token ($BEST) which provides early access to curated presale projects. Bitcoin's recent price dip below $100,000 is causing traders to look at alternative coins, especially meme coins like Maxi Doge. The article also notes that Bitcoin is gaining traction as a potential unifier in US politics, appealing to both Democrats and Republicans for different reasons. This growing political alignment is driving interest in infrastructure projects like Bitcoin Hyper.

A recent report by Protocol Theory indicates that nearly 25% of adults in the Asia-Pacific region with internet access may own cryptocurrencies. The study, which surveyed over 4,000 adults across 10 countries including the Philippines, India, Thailand, South Korea, China, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan, and the UAE, also found that 18% of adults in emerging markets within the region have adopted stablecoins. A significant factor affecting adoption is the ease of use and access to crypto services, with about half of those aware of crypto intending to use it within the next year. The report highlights that many believe regulations are essential for the growth of the crypto market, particularly in emerging economies where 70% of adults share this view, although this figure is lower in more mature markets like Hong Kong, Australia, and Singapore (66%) and even lower in Japan (under 50%). Overall, crypto adoption in the APAC region reached 22% in 2024, exceeding the global average by a significant margin, with Thailand leading at 43%, followed by the UAE at 37% and India at 32%. A substantial portion of crypto adopters in the region view digital currencies as a means to regain financial control.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has introduced a new law that expands licensing requirements for cryptocurrency activities, potentially impacting Dubai's status as a crypto hub. Effective September 16, the law makes it a criminal offense to offer cryptocurrency tools like Bitcoin wallets or blockchain explorers to UAE residents without authorization from the Central Bank. Penalties for non-compliance range from imprisonment to fines between AED 50,000 and AED 500 million (up to $136 million). The law's broad language covers any technology facilitating financial activity, including infrastructure providers, API services, and even decentralized protocols. This could affect companies outside the UAE if their products are accessible to UAE residents. Additionally, advertising or marketing unlicensed financial products in the UAE could also be considered a legal breach. Crypto companies have one year to meet licensing requirements, though this period may be extended. The law's implications for the crypto industry and Dubai's crypto ambitions are currently uncertain.

Zcash (ZEC) price is currently around $502, showing signs of a potential breakout after a significant rally. While down 2.2% today, selling pressure has decreased by 85% since November 12th. ZEC is attempting to break out of a falling flag pattern, and a confirmed close above $537 could trigger the next rally phase, targeting potential price levels of $612, $688, and $749. Key support levels to watch are $488 and $368; falling below these levels could weaken or invalidate the bullish outlook. The On-Balance Volume (OBV) indicates easing selling pressure, but a strong move above 8.16 million is needed to confirm a shift towards buying pressure.

XRP's price dropped 9% today, falling below $2.30, amidst a broader cryptocurrency market downturn that saw the entire market capitalization decrease by $200 billion. Trading volume for XRP increased to over $7 billion. The drop occurred despite the launch of the first US-based spot XRP ETF. Prior to the ETF launch, large XRP holders moved significant amounts of the token to exchanges, suggesting an intention to sell. This selling pressure from large holders, combined with expectations of a 'sell-the-news' event following the ETF launch, contributed to XRP's price decrease from $2.52 to $2.28. XRP has found support around the $2.20 level.

JPMorgan analysts believe Bitcoin has a price floor around $94,000, based on the estimated cost to mine one Bitcoin. This cost has increased due to rising network difficulty. The bank views this production cost as a support level, where miners would be less incentivized to sell if prices fall significantly below it. JPMorgan also maintains a medium-term outlook of Bitcoin potentially reaching $170,000 within 6-12 months, based on a comparison with gold's market capitalization, adjusted for volatility. This target is based on Bitcoin's current market cap compared to private gold investment, suggesting Bitcoin's market cap would need to increase substantially. The current Bitcoin price is around $97,505.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has initiated a $1 million pilot program to explore digital assets, including Bitcoin, stablecoins, and tokenized deposits. This test portfolio, approved in late October 2025, aims to provide the CNB with practical experience in handling and managing cryptocurrencies. The CNB will assess various digital asset types, their properties, and the processes involved in trading, securing, and auditing these holdings. This investment is separate from the CNB's international reserves, and there are no immediate plans to include cryptocurrencies in those reserves. While the initial investment will not be actively increased, smaller transactions will continue to test market readiness and maintain operational preparedness. The project is driven by the CNB's desire to understand blockchain technology's potential impact on the future of finance and payment systems, examining aspects such as key management, security, and anti-money laundering compliance. Furthermore, the CNB is launching the CNB Lab innovation hub to explore various technologies, including AI and advancements in payment systems, that could shape the future of the financial sector.

Apple's new iPhone 17 has shown strong sales in China since its September 19 release, reversing a previous decline in the country's mobile device market. The new model made up nearly 80% of Apple's phone sales in China during this period, despite an overall 2.7% drop in the country's smartphone market in the third quarter. The iPhone 17 range also performed better than the previous model by 14% when comparing initial sales in the US and China. The standard iPhone 17, priced at $799, saw more buyers due to improvements like a better screen, increased storage, and a new processor. The iPhone 17 Pro Max was popular in the US, attracting customers who had been waiting to upgrade their phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently visited China and pledged to increase the company's investment there, despite potential tax concerns. While Apple is diversifying its manufacturing to countries like India and Vietnam, China remains a crucial production center for iPhones.

Pi Coin's price has decreased by approximately 5% today and about 2.3% this week, retaining only 1% of its gains from the past month. Although Pi Coin has performed relatively better than the broader crypto market's decline of 6%, indicators suggest this stability might be misleading. While there's evidence of buyers stepping in when the price dips, the underlying support appears weak, with On-Balance Volume showing that buyers lack the strength to significantly drive the market higher. Pi Coin is currently trading near $0.209, a key support level, and a break below this could lead to further declines towards $0.192 and $0.153. Overcoming the $0.236 resistance could potentially lead to a 9% upside towards $0.285. However, the Smart Money Index indicates that informed traders are not strongly supporting a rebound, suggesting a higher likelihood of a downside move exceeding 3% unless the price surpasses $0.236 with increased momentum.

Bitcoin has fallen to a six-month low after previously reaching highs. It is currently trading around $97,242, having fluctuated between $97,000 and $111,000 recently. An analyst is revisiting a previous prediction from 2022 suggesting that prices below $20,000 represented a good buying opportunity.

The cryptocurrency XRP needs to maintain a specific price level to avoid further decline, especially after significant selling activity in the market. XRP's price chart shows significant volatility, suggesting traders are being cautious.

Despite recent market pessimism following a Bitcoin dip below $100,000, institutional investors are still optimistic about crypto's year-end potential. They plan to increase their crypto allocations as regulations become clearer. The article highlights three cryptocurrencies to watch: Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a presale project aiming to improve Bitcoin's transaction speed using Solana technology, having already raised over $27.5 million with a current price of $0.013275 and 42% staking APY; Maxi Doge ($MAXI), another presale meme coin with DeFi features that has raised over $4 million, priced at $0.000268 with 77% staking APY; and Quant ($QNT), a listed cryptocurrency with a market cap around $1 billion focused on interoperability between different blockchain networks, currently priced above $90 and available on major exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

Kalshi, the largest regulated prediction market in the U.S., is partnering with Coinbase Custody to secure the USDC stablecoin used for its event-based contracts. This move aims to enhance user trust and security when trading on predictions related to real-world events like inflation reports and elections. Coinbase Custody, known for its secure storage services for institutions, will provide the infrastructure to protect user funds. This is particularly important during high-volume trading periods, such as around major economic announcements. Separately, Coinbase reported that its COIN50 Perpetual Futures product achieved $4.4 billion in trading volume in its first year, ranking among the top five globally in unique retail traders across 58 countries.

The crypto market experienced a significant downturn on November 14, with Bitcoin's price falling below $98,000, briefly touching $97,100 and posting a 3% daily drop. Over $1.10 billion in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, with long positions taking the biggest hit. The drop is attributed to reduced expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December, outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs, long-term BTC holders selling, weak data from China, tariff concerns, and falling institutional inflows. Bitcoin breaking below the $98,000 support level has shifted market sentiment to bearish, with some analysts predicting a further drop to $92,000 or even $90,500. Other analysts view this as a typical mid-cycle correction and a potential buying opportunity. Trading volume has surged to $102 billion, with the market closely watching for signals to determine if Bitcoin can consolidate above $97,000 or continue its decline.

The FDIC is actively developing policies related to blockchain technology, specifically for tokenized deposits and stablecoins. They aim to ensure that deposits maintain their value and insurance coverage even when tokenized on a blockchain. The FDIC is also creating a formal application process for banks that wish to issue stablecoins, with a proposal expected by the end of 2025. This process will include standards for reserves, capital, and risk management. The total market value of stablecoins is approximately $300 billion and the FDIC is working to provide regulatory clarity as blockchain applications in finance expand.

A recent analysis by the Bitcoin Policy Institute, based on a June 2025 survey of 800 likely US voters, reveals that both Democrats and Republicans show support for Bitcoin, although for different reasons. Democrats are more likely to support pro-Bitcoin lawmakers if they believe Bitcoin promotes financial freedom for people in countries with unstable governments, with an odds ratio of 16.152. Republicans are more convinced by Bitcoin's potential to improve the energy grid (odds ratio 4.687) and protect the freedom to transact without government interference (odds ratio 5.185). Independents are influenced by Bitcoin's ability to improve access for underserved populations (odds ratio 6.665), energy grid benefits (odds ratio 6.032), and the right to transact (odds ratio 5.573). The study suggests that value-based messaging is more effective than focusing on financial gain when promoting Bitcoin. Notably, in the 2024 US presidential election, Donald Trump positioned himself as a pro-crypto candidate, indicating the growing importance of cryptocurrency in politics.

BitMine has appointed Chi Tsang as its new CEO and added three independent directors to its board, signaling a stronger focus on its Ethereum strategy. The company currently controls over 2.9 percent of all Ethereum and aims to increase its holdings to 5 percent. Major investors like ARK, Founders Fund, and others support BitMine's goal of becoming a core financial institution within the Ethereum ecosystem. The new board members bring expertise in finance, legal strategy, and wealth management, aligning with BitMine's push into institutional Ethereum finance and aiming for a larger role in the crypto market.

Bitcoin has fallen to a six-month low, trading around $96,902, and other cryptocurrencies have also declined. Despite this, some crypto experts argue that this is not a typical bear market. They point to the strong underlying fundamentals of the crypto ecosystem, contrasting the current situation with the more severe downturn of 2022, which saw major company collapses. Experts suggest that the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs and changes in market structure indicate that the market may have already been in a quiet bear phase for six months and is almost through it. They highlight that the current market dynamics and new market participants have created a more resilient environment than in previous downturns.

Aave Labs, a company focused on decentralized finance (DeFi), has received approval from the Central Bank of Ireland to operate its Push platform, a service that allows users to convert euros into cryptocurrencies and vice versa. This approval, granted under the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, allows Push to legally operate throughout the European Economic Area (EEA). The Push platform aims to simplify the process of buying and selling crypto by offering direct euro-to-crypto conversions, including Aave's stablecoin GHO, potentially without fees. Aave Labs believes this regulatory approval is important for bringing more people into the DeFi space and reduces reliance on centralized exchanges. MiCA regulations are designed to provide clear rules for stablecoins and crypto services in the EU, and Aave's approval suggests regulators are open to DeFi companies that meet these standards. It could encourage other DeFi platforms to seek similar approvals in Europe.

The cryptocurrency market experienced significant liquidations totaling $1.1 billion in a 24-hour period on November 14, 2025, with the majority stemming from traders betting on prices going up. Over 246,000 traders had their positions automatically closed by exchanges because they didn't have enough funds to cover their leveraged bets as the market moved against them. This sharp downturn has led some analysts to compare the current market stress to the period following the collapse of FTX in 2022. Bitcoin's technical indicators are showing oversold conditions, raising concerns about a potential bear market. However, other experts argue that the current situation is different from 2022, with losses mainly due to price drops rather than systemic failures in crypto infrastructure. One analyst suggests that a confirmed bear market would only occur if Bitcoin's price falls below $94,000.

The article discusses three crypto presales, Opter, BFX, and BDAG, suggesting they could offer significant returns for early investors. Opter is presented as a decentralized exchange (DEX) that combines features of centralized exchanges (CEXs) and DEXs, offering fast trading and user control without KYC. Users can earn $OPTER tokens through a regular presale or by trading volume farming, with 1,200 $OPTER tokens awarded for every $100,000 traded. Opter features up to 100x leverage, fee burning and staking rewards and currently has a live trading platform with over $130 million in volume. BFX focuses on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) like commodities and real estate, aiming to provide on-chain access to these assets with liquidity and composability. BDAG is a launchpad for new DeFi projects, offering funding and community-driven project selection and token holders can stake BDAG tokens for allocations in presales and share in launch fees. The article suggests Opter may have an advantage due to its hybrid model, reward system, and already functioning platform.

Amazon and Microsoft are supporting the GAIN AI Act, a proposed law in the U.S. that aims to limit Nvidia and other chipmakers from exporting advanced AI chips to China until U.S. demand is met. The Act, introduced in the House of Representatives on October 31, 2025, is intended to prioritize American security and the economy, preventing China from using AI technology to enhance its military. Senator Jim Banks supports the Act, along with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Nvidia, which controls about 80% of the AI chip market, has lobbied against the bill, spending $3.5 million this year, fearing stricter export regulations and market distortion. Nvidia estimates potential losses of $5.5 billion due to these export restrictions, despite plans to build $500 billion worth of AI servers in the U.S. with partners like TSMC. Earlier in July 2025, the Trump administration had lifted restrictions on chip design software exports to China, reversing a previous decision in May related to rare earth exports.

Large players in the crypto market, including whales and institutions like Fidelity and Anchorage Digital, have been moving significant amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum. These transactions involved hundreds of thousands of ETH and thousands of BTC. For example, one whale moved 420,000 ETH, and Fidelity acquired 2,000 BTC. This activity coincides with a price drop for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, with Bitcoin falling by 6.15% and Ethereum by 9.43%. Bitcoin's trading volume has surged by over 50% to nearly $115 billion. These large movements suggest that some major investors may be taking advantage of the price dip, possibly anticipating a future price increase.

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced their second-largest outflows ever as the price of Bitcoin fell to $95,000. This indicates a significant amount of investors are selling their Bitcoin ETF holdings, contributing to the price decline.

Bitcoin maximalism, the idea that Bitcoin is the only cryptocurrency worth holding, is declining as Bitcoin behaves more like digital gold following the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs. Investors are shifting capital into altcoins, particularly those with strong narratives in infrastructure, AI, and DePIN. PEPENODE, a meme coin with a gamified virtual mining model, is one example of this trend. It aims to attract investors by offering multi-token rewards and an engaging user experience. PEPENODE has already raised over $2.1 million in a presale at a price of $0.0011454, offering early staking rewards of 605%. The project features a virtual mining simulator where users build server rooms and earn rewards. The presale is a public sale without private rounds, accepting ETH, BNB, USDT, and card payments. Price predictions for PEPENODE suggest a potential high of $0.0031 in 2025 and a range of $0.0022 to $0.0077 in 2026, depending on game development and user growth.

MoonPay has launched a new platform for enterprises to create and use their own stablecoins, digital tokens designed to maintain a stable value. The platform, powered by m0 and Iron technologies, aims to speed up payments, lower costs, and connect traditional finance with blockchain. Partners can design stablecoins and integrate them into MoonPay's network for buying, selling, swapping, depositing, and checking out. The stablecoin market settled over $18 trillion in 2025, surpassing Visa and Mastercard. Visa reports that stablecoin settlements reached over $2.8 trillion in a single quarter this year. MoonPay has also partnered with GateUS to simplify crypto transactions for users in America, providing smoother and more reliable digital asset management.

The crypto market experienced a significant crash, mirroring a downturn in broader financial markets. Over $1 trillion was wiped out from stocks and crypto assets in a single day. This drop was triggered by a combination of factors, including traders taking profits after an anticipated U.S. government update, concerns arising from the White House's decision to delay the release of key October economic data, and bond market anxieties related to AI companies. The delayed data raised fears of a weakening economy, while struggles in the AI sector caused ripples across the stock market, which then impacted crypto. Bitcoin initially rallied, but then fell along with other assets as investors reduced their exposure to risk. While some, like Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, remained optimistic about the long-term outlook, the overall sentiment cooled considerably due to these combined pressures.

Blockchain advisor Anndy Lian stated that people who have held onto Shiba Inu for a long time should be recognized for their patience. This statement contrasts with recent praise for a trader who quickly profited from a new meme coin on the Solana blockchain. Lian's point is that long-term commitment to a cryptocurrency like Shiba Inu, despite its ups and downs, is more noteworthy than short-term gains from volatile new coins.

Singapore's financial regulator is tightening its stance on stablecoins, requiring strict supervision for those used in large transactions. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) emphasizes the need for stablecoins to maintain their value and allow easy redemption. They are concerned about unregulated stablecoins potentially triggering financial instability, similar to money market fund runs. MAS is developing legislation focused on reserve backing and redemption processes for stablecoin issuers. The global stablecoin market has exceeded $300 billion in capitalization, with daily transaction volumes reaching $3.1 trillion, highlighting the need for regulation. MAS is also exploring central bank digital currencies and tokenized bank liabilities as settlement assets and encourages financial firms to conduct trials to identify potential issues.

The Canary Capitals XRP ETF (XRPC) launched on Nasdaq and saw a strong first day, with $58 million in trading volume, surpassing the previous record for a debut ETF. Despite the successful launch of the ETF, the price of XRP itself fell by about 7.8% to $2.30 on the same day. The broader crypto market also experienced a downturn, losing 3.5% in market capitalization. Analysts note the strong retail community behind XRP and potential institutional interest as factors driving the ETF's high trading volume. However, data suggests that XRP is facing increased selling pressure, possibly due to traders covering losses in other areas and breaking below key technical indicators.

Arthur Hayes believes the crypto market's instability stems from the co-existence of perpetual futures and monthly CME futures, which create conflicting pressures. Perpetual futures, common on crypto exchanges, don't expire, while CME futures, used by larger institutions, expire monthly. Hayes argues the monthly CME expirations trigger sell-offs and liquidations that interrupt crypto rallies. The expiry cycle puts pressure on digital assets, and prices often slow down when CME futures get close to expiry. When CME contracts expire, many things happen at once. Some traders close their positions, while others roll into the next month or hedge on crypto exchanges. All these actions can move the crypto prices quickly. This, combined with liquidations in the perpetual futures market, causes a stop-start pattern in crypto prices. Hayes suggests consolidating into a single perpetual futures system to eliminate the expiry-related pressure, potentially stabilizing the market.

Bitcoin ETFs experienced significant outflows totaling $869.86 million on Thursday, marking the second-largest outflow day on record. Grayscale's Mini Trust saw the biggest outflow at $318.2 million, followed by BlackRock's IBIT at $256.6 million. Fidelity's FBTC and Bitwise's BITB also experienced outflows. These outflows contribute to a $2.64 billion withdrawal from Bitcoin ETFs over the past three weeks. This coincides with Bitcoin dropping below $100,000 for the first time in 188 days, reaching a low of $96,682.00. The broader cryptocurrency market saw $316 million in liquidations, primarily affecting leveraged long positions, with Bitcoin liquidations at $190.65 million and Ethereum at $49.88 million. Ethereum ETFs also experienced outflows of $259.72 million. Overall, this indicates a downturn in investor sentiment with Bitcoin underperforming the wider crypto market and breaking below key support levels.

Acurast, a startup focused on decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), has secured $11 million in funding, bringing its total funding to over $25 million from various sources including ICO sales, VC backing, and angel investors. The company aims to create a global network of distributed computing by utilizing smartphones. Acurast is launching its Genesis Mainnet on November 17, coinciding with the Token Generation Event (TGE) for its native ACU token. The project's testnet has already onboarded 146,443 smartphone users, demonstrating the potential for enterprise-grade distributed computation. Acurast verifies each device's capabilities to ensure data protection, differentiating itself from other DePIN projects. The Acurast mainnet will be open to Web3 developers and is compatible with major blockchains, enabling uses like off-chain execution, AI workloads, and web crawling.

The Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) had a very successful first day of trading, with over $58.5 million in volume and approximately $245 million in net inflows. This makes it the biggest ETF launch this year, surpassing Bitwise's Solana fund. The ETF began trading quickly after its listing was certified. Experts noted that the strong demand for crypto ETFs has been consistently underestimated by traditional finance. Although XRP's price is down about 9% over the last day, it is still up significantly for the week and year. The price range for XRP is currently between $2.27 and $2.52, below its all-time high. Analysts are watching to see if the new ETF demand can help XRP's price recover. Regulatory developments, including potential commodity status for XRP, could also affect its future performance.

Oracle's stock has dropped 5% following concerns about its $300 billion AI deal with OpenAI. Investors are questioning whether OpenAI can deliver the expected $60 billion in annual payments to Oracle. This deal coincides with Oracle's plans to raise $38 billion in debt to fund data center development and GPU purchases, pushing its total debt to $96 billion. Analysts are concerned about Oracle's ability to generate enough free cash flow and may need to use unusual financing methods. Some have downgraded Oracle's debt rating due to significant funding needs. Oracle expects cloud infrastructure revenue to reach $166 billion by fiscal year 2030, but analysts are skeptical without stronger current results. Oracle's 5-year credit default swaps have reached a two-year high.

Analysts are predicting a potential Bitcoin price crash due to weakening market trends and a descending trend pattern. Bitcoin has been trading between $101,000 and $105,000, but faces resistance around $106,500. Long-term holders have sold over 390,000 BTC, contributing to downward pressure. A break below the $100,000 support level could lead to further declines, with potential targets around $93,000 and as low as $88,000.

On November 14, 2025, a large number of Bitcoin and Ethereum options contracts expired, potentially causing fluctuations in the market. Specifically, 41,000 Bitcoin options contracts, valued at $3.95 billion, and 228,000 Ethereum options contracts, valued at $730 million, reached their expiration date. The expiration of these contracts could lead to increased volatility as traders adjust their positions, ultimately influencing the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum in the near future. The "max pain" price for Bitcoin was $105,000, and for Ethereum it was $3,475. The Put-Call Ratio for Bitcoin was 0.61, and for Ethereum was 0.59.

The article highlights three key charts to monitor as Ether (ETH) gains strength relative to Bitcoin (BTC). These charts provide insights into the potential continued outperformance of Ether against Bitcoin. The specific details of the charts and their implications are discussed in the article.

The article discusses the increasing popularity of crypto casinos, which allow users to gamble using cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum, highlighting their advantages over traditional casinos, such as faster transactions and increased privacy. It identifies key factors for evaluating crypto casinos, including transaction speed, game fairness, game variety, customer support, licensing, and bonus offerings. The article also lists five crypto casinos (BITZ, STAKE, DUEL, BEEF, and JOY CASINO). These platforms offer diverse gaming options, from slots to live dealer games, and support multiple cryptocurrencies. The guide emphasizes the importance of provably fair games, where players can verify the fairness of each bet, as well as the growing trend of cryptocurrency sports betting and mobile crypto gambling.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a significant downturn, with the global market capitalization dropping to around $3.27 trillion, a six-month low. Bitcoin has fallen 23% from its peak, now trading around the $90,000 range, while Ethereum is down 36%. The market sentiment is fearful, as indicated by the Crypto Fear & Greed Index at 15. The drop is attributed to a recent U.S. inflation report reducing the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut, coupled with liquidations of over-leveraged crypto positions and some stress in traditional markets. The expiration of $4.7 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options is also adding volatility. Altcoins have also suffered, with many major coins falling significantly. Analysts suggest that Bitcoin's volatile nature is normal and has historically been followed by rebounds.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has launched its first Bitcoin Pilot Portfolio with a $1 million investment to gain practical experience with blockchain-based assets. This investment, separate from the bank's international reserves, includes Bitcoin, a USD stablecoin, and a tokenized deposit. The CNB's goal is not profit but to study these assets' functionalities, security, and integration within a central banking framework, including testing key storage, security systems, and auditing methods. The initiative also involves the launch of the CNB Lab to test blockchain tools, AI, and instant payment systems. The bank aims to prepare for a future where digital assets are integrated into mainstream finance, potentially enabling transactions involving the Czech koruna and tokenized assets within the same platform.

The cryptocurrency market saw significant instability today, with Bitcoin's price falling below $100,000. This drop led to $1.10 billion in liquidations for cryptocurrency traders in the last 24 hours, as reported by CoinGlass data. Liquidations happen when traders who borrow money to trade (using leverage) are forced to sell their assets because the price moves against them, and they can no longer cover their positions.

The crypto market has decreased by 12.3% in November, reaching levels last seen in early July, with Bitcoin dropping below $97,000 and Ethereum falling by 17.2% this month. Despite this downturn, stablecoin reserves on exchanges have increased by approximately $2.63 billion in November, indicating traders are moving into stablecoins. Traders are keeping their stablecoins on exchanges rather than withdrawing them, awaiting favorable market conditions to reinvest. The accumulation of stablecoins suggests potential for a market rebound if Bitcoin stabilizes above $100,000 or drops to $95,000 creating an attractive entry point.

Old Ethereum wallets, specifically those holding ETH for 3-10 years, are selling their holdings at a rate not seen since 2021, distributing approximately 45,000 ETH daily. This selling pressure contributed to a dip in ETH's price to $3,152.17 and a decrease in open interest to $17 billion. These older wallets are likely taking profits to avoid potential losses in a future bear market. Despite this selling activity, Ethereum's market value relative to its realized value (MVRV) remains high, indicating many wallets still hold unrealized gains. Some large investors, known as the Seven Siblings wallets, have been actively buying ETH during recent price dips, accumulating over 1.2 million Ether. Other whales absorbed 2.53M coins at $3,150 per Ether. These investors also used leverage, borrowing funds to increase their ETH purchases, suggesting confidence in a market recovery. Overall market sentiment is currently fearful, with the Ether fear and greed index at a yearly low of 29.

Bitcoin's price has fallen to a six-month low, dropping below $100,000 to around $97,100, showing a 6% decrease in the last 24 hours. The price failed to break through resistance at $107,000, leading to increased selling. Key support levels being watched are around $95,930, where a significant amount of Bitcoin was last moved, and further down at $82,045 and $66,900. If the $95,930 support level breaks, the price could decline rapidly due to lower on-chain activity between that level and $82,000. Large Bitcoin holders (whales) and miners have been moving their coins to exchanges like Binance, increasing the supply and adding to the downward pressure on the price.

Bitcoin miners have significantly increased the amount of Bitcoin they are sending to the Binance exchange, a potential sign they are selling off their holdings. In November alone, miners have deposited 71,000 BTC, worth over $7 billion, to Binance. This follows a trend from October where they deposited 200,000 BTC. Miners typically sell to cover expenses like electricity. This large increase in deposits has coincided with a decrease in Bitcoin's hashrate, which is a measure of the computing power on the Bitcoin network, and a price decrease of Bitcoin to around $10,300.

Bitcoin is currently trading at $96879, hovering just above a critical support level of $93500. Key resistance levels are identified at $100150 and $105000. A break below the $93500 support could trigger further decline, with a potential downside target of $135429. Technical indicators suggest a bearish market sentiment, and the Stochastic RSI indicates Bitcoin is currently oversold. Traders are advised to consider placing stop-loss orders below $93500 to manage risk. The 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), located at $100150 and $102300 respectively, are acting as resistance. Buyers might consider entering near the $93500 support, while sellers could consider exiting near the $100150 or $105000 resistance levels.

HBAR's price is dropping significantly, mirroring Bitcoin's decline. The correlation between HBAR and Bitcoin is currently 0.76, meaning HBAR's price movements closely follow Bitcoin's. Bitcoin fell below $100,000, and HBAR broke below a key support level at $0.162, a level it had maintained for several weeks. This drop indicates a lack of buyer interest, potentially leading to further price decreases toward $0.154 or lower. If HBAR can reclaim the $0.162 level, it could potentially rise towards $0.175 and possibly $0.192.

According to a TradingView crypto analyst, Shiba Inu is nearing a price level of $0.0000067, which has historically been a low point in its price cycles. This analyst suggests that reaching this support level could lead to a potential price increase of 150% to 500% for Shiba Inu.

The price of Cardano (ADA) is currently at a significant support level after a recent drop. An analyst from TradingView, AltcoinPiooners, indicates that ADA has been decreasing within a descending channel. The report suggests that a potential rebound might occur as the selling pressure decreases, with a possible price increase of 25%.

Google DeepMind has unveiled SIMA 2, a new AI agent powered by Gemini that can learn and act in real-time within virtual 3D environments. Unlike the first version, SIMA 2 can understand high-level goals, reason, and execute actions in games through text, voice, or image prompts. SIMA 2 demonstrated improved performance, achieving a 65% task completion rate compared to SIMA 1's 31%. It can also adapt to new environments created by Genie 3, even if it has never encountered them before. DeepMind acknowledges that SIMA 2 has limitations, including memory constraints and difficulties with complex tasks, but sees it as a step towards artificial general intelligence and future applications in robotics and navigation.

XRP's price decreased despite the launch of the first spot XRP ETF. The price fell over 7% in one day, moving from $2.50 to around $2.20. Analysts attribute this drop to broader market pressures, particularly Bitcoin's decline, which affects many other cryptocurrencies. The XRP ETF, launched by Canary Capital, saw $58 million in first-day trading volume, exceeding initial expectations of $17 million, but analysts say this isn't enough to move the price significantly. It is noted that the real impact of the ETF on XRP's price may not be immediate, as Canary Capital still needs to purchase XRP to back the ETF, and institutional buying usually takes time to influence prices. Technical analysis indicates that XRP broke down from a descending triangle, losing the $2.70 support level, and now needs to break above $2.40 to avoid further price declines toward $1.80 or $1.50.

Circle's stock (CRCL) has returned to its initial IPO price despite strong Q3 earnings, including a 108% year-over-year increase in USDC circulation to $74 billion and a 66% revenue increase to $740 million. This reversal is primarily due to increasing supply pressure from expiring lockup periods for early investors, allowing them to sell their shares. This sell pressure has coincided with broader market uncertainty, contributing to volatility. JPMorgan has upgraded Circle's rating to overweight, setting a price target of $100, citing growing partnerships and the potential of Circle's Arc network. Cathie Wood's Ark Invest has also purchased $30 million in CRCL shares. The stock's performance reflects a tension between strong underlying growth and short-term market dynamics.

The Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) launched in 2025 with impressive numbers, attracting $245 million in net inflows on its first day, exceeding the initial inflows of several Bitcoin and Solana ETFs. Its first-day trading volume reached $59 million, the highest among ETF launches in 2025. Despite the successful ETF launch, the price of XRP fell by 8% to around $2.30, even though trading volume increased by over 40%. XRP futures also saw a decline, with total open interest decreasing. Similarly, Solana's price also dropped by 8% during the same period.

China's economy is showing signs of slowing down, with fixed asset investment hitting a record low and factory output decreasing. This slowdown affects investment, spending, trade, and factory production, raising concerns about China's economic control. Property investments are declining due to developers' struggles with sales, capital, and unfinished projects. Companies are cutting back on new projects due to weak demand. Industrial output grew by only 4.9% in October, down from 6.5% in September, due to fewer orders. China's exports are also down as global demand weakens, and domestic consumer spending is low due to concerns about job security and income. Retail sales rose by only 2.9% in October, marking the fifth consecutive month of slowing growth. The government is considering measures like subsidies, but long-term changes are needed to improve social welfare and job security. Businesses are hesitant to invest or hire, and consumers are saving more. Trade tensions with the U.S. and concerns from European trading partners add to the challenges. Despite these issues, the government is cautiously supporting stimulatory projects worth approximately 1 trillion yuan for infrastructure and local government.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is planning to issue guidance on tokenized deposits, clarifying that these blockchain-based deposits should have the same legal protections as traditional deposits. Acting Chair Travis Hill stated that the FDIC is also working on a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers, with an application process expected by the end of 2025, stemming from the GENIUS Act. The value of tokenized real-world assets (excluding stablecoins) has surpassed $24 billion in the first half of 2025, driven by tokenized private credit and US Treasurys, with BlackRock being a notable adopter. The market capitalization of stablecoins is currently at $305 billion. Animoca Brands research suggests that tokenization of real-world assets could unlock a $400 trillion traditional finance market, with projections indicating the tokenized RWA market could reach $16 trillion by 2030.

Bitcoin's price recently dipped below $100,000 and is approaching what's called a 'death cross,' where its 50-day average price looks set to fall below its 200-day average. Historically, this pattern often signals a market bottom. However, analysts are split on whether this will be the case this time. Some believe that the death cross could lead to a price rebound to at least $145,000, based on past patterns where Bitcoin has rallied after similar events. Others are more cautious, suggesting the price could drop to around $70,000 before recovering, based on historical data showing a potential 30% loss following a death cross. Traders are advised to monitor factors like trading volume and market activity to better assess the situation and manage risk carefully, potentially using stop-loss orders and waiting for confirmation of a price recovery before making major investments.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Zcash, and various other altcoins decreasing in value. The article attributes the decline to several factors. Increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly in the United States, has dampened investor enthusiasm. Macroeconomic concerns, including rising inflation and potential interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, have also contributed to market uncertainty, leading investors to reduce their exposure to riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, profit-taking after a period of gains may have exacerbated the downward trend. Major cryptocurrencies and altcoins saw significant price drops.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced significant outflows, with Bitcoin ETFs losing $866.7 million and Ethereum ETFs losing $410 million. These outflows were triggered by a broader market selloff influenced by concerns about overvalued tech stocks, particularly those related to AI, and uncertainty about future interest rate cuts. Despite the overall downturn, XRP ETFs debuted strongly with $245 million in inflows on the first day of trading, marking a record for ETF launches this year. New guidance from the Treasury Department has clarified rules around staking ETFs, allowing spot crypto funds to stake through registered custodians and distribute rewards to investors as ordinary income.

Kalshi, a U.S.-based prediction market, is partnering with Coinbase Custody to secure the USDC stablecoin used on its platform. This allows Kalshi users to deposit, transfer, and receive payouts in USDC with the security features offered by Coinbase Custody. The partnership aims to enhance trust and reliability in Kalshi's event-based markets by providing institutional-grade security for user funds. By using Coinbase Custody, Kalshi ensures that deposited USDC is protected, auditable, and isolated from operational risks, potentially encouraging wider participation in its prediction markets. The collaboration demonstrates the integration of crypto infrastructure and regulated financial applications, offering users a more stable, secure, and compliant trading environment.

Taiwan is considering adding Bitcoin to its national strategic reserves. Cho Jung-tai, a member of Taiwan's legislature, stated that the central bank and the premier's office have agreed to examine the possibility of using Bitcoin in the country's reserves, driven by political support and worries about currency stability.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves have decided not to increase income tax to address the UK's budget deficit, reversing a previously considered option. Concerns that raising income tax would upset both the party and the public led to this change. Economists estimated an income tax increase could have generated up to $65 billion. Instead, Reeves is now considering a range of measures to raise $39 billion, potentially including gambling duty and higher property taxes. Plans to impose more charges on lawyers, accountants and private clinicians have also been abandoned over concerns that it would encourage avoidance and reduce overall revenue by $525 million in 2029-30. A proposed 20% tax on wealthy Britons relocating to low-tax countries is also under review due to potential impacts on economic growth. The government needs to address an existing $20 billion shortfall in existing plans.

A recent study by the BTC Policy Institute indicates that Bitcoin can gain support from both Democrats and Republicans if the arguments used to promote it align with each party's core values. Democrats are more receptive to the idea of financial inclusion, highlighting Bitcoin's potential to provide access to underserved communities. Republicans and Independents are more likely to support Bitcoin when it's presented as a means to improve energy grid stability through mining and as a way to transact freely without government interference. Independents are more likely to own Bitcoin compared to Republicans and Democrats. Furthermore, the CFTC Commissioner Caroline Pham has announced the end of a regulatory conflict between the CFTC and SEC, signaling a move towards greater cooperation in overseeing crypto and financial markets.

The Solana blockchain is experiencing a slowdown in user activity. The number of active addresses has dropped to 3.3 million, a 12-month low, after peaking at 9 million in January during a memecoin surge. This decline is also reflected in prediction markets, where the likelihood of Solana reaching a new all-time high before 2026 has significantly decreased. Despite the decrease in retail activity, institutional investment in Solana-based ETFs is still strong, with continuous inflows even as Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs see outflows. This suggests that while smaller traders are stepping back, larger investors are still confident in Solana's long-term potential.

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, is now using Coinbase to manage its customer deposits made in USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. This means when users deposit USDC to use on Kalshi's platform, Coinbase will be handling the custody and management of those digital assets. This partnership aims to streamline the deposit process and enhance the security of USDC holdings for Kalshi users.

Canary Capital launched its spot XRP ETF, named $XRPC, which experienced high trading activity upon release. In its first 30 minutes, the ETF saw $26 million in trading volume, with projections estimating $338 million by the end of the first full trading day. This launch volume surpasses that of competitor $BSOL, which had $57 million on its launch day. The $XRPC ETF holds 223.7 million XRP tokens, valued at $557 million based on XRP's current price of $2.50. According to Nasdaq, the ETF's current price is $26.57, after opening at $40. The launch has increased XRP's spot price to $2.50, reflecting increased interest in the token. The ETF provides exposure to XRP for traditional investors without requiring them to manage wallets or exchanges.

A managing partner at Dragonfly Capital, Haseeb, stated that the current crypto market downturn is less severe compared to 2022. He cites the absence of major collapses like Luna, 3AC, FTX, Genesis, and BlockFi as a key difference. Despite price drops, core crypto functions like staking, trading, and decentralized finance continue to operate without significant disruption. Regulatory clarity has also improved, reducing systemic risk and promoting market stability. This contrasts with 2022, which saw cascading failures and eroded investor confidence. The current market is perceived as more resilient, with stable operations in exchanges and blockchain networks, and decentralized finance platforms maintaining liquidity. Clearer regulatory frameworks are in place, supporting stablecoin compliance and reducing overall market uncertainty, which allows investors to accumulate assets rather than exit the market.

Aerodrome and Velodrome, two decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges created by Dromos Labs, are merging into a single platform called AERO. This new exchange will operate on both the Ethereum and Circles Arc blockchains. Aerodrome holders will receive 94.5% of the new AERO tokens, while Velodrome holders will receive 5.5%. The goal is to combine the liquidity of both platforms, streamline operations, and provide a unified decentralized finance (DeFi) experience. Both the current $AERO and $VELO tokens will be replaced with the new AERO token. This move aims to simplify DeFi, create a stronger cross-chain presence, and potentially attract institutional investors through Arc's compliance-ready environment. The merger seeks to improve capital efficiency and make the platform a central hub for the Dromos ecosystem, creating a single brand and vision for the future of decentralized liquidity.

Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, stated in an interview with CoinDesk that XRP has uniquely succeeded in becoming money within the cryptocurrency space.

Global financial markets are declining due to decreasing expectations of an interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve. The probability of a rate cut has fallen to approximately 50%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. This shift, combined with hawkish statements from the Fed and weak economic data from China, has led to a downturn in tech stocks on Wall Street and a subsequent decline in Asian markets.

Canary Capital's XRP ETF launched with a record-breaking $58 million in trading volume on its first day, surpassing all other ETF launches this year. The launch initially pushed XRP's price toward $2.50, but it later retraced to around $2.30. Experts believe that if other companies like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Grayscale get approval for their own XRP ETFs in November, it could bring in between $4 and $8 billion in institutional investments, potentially driving XRP's price up significantly due to its limited availability. Predictions for XRP's future price vary, with some analysts suggesting it could reach $6 by 2030, while others forecast targets as high as $12.50 by 2028 or even $18.22 and $36.76 based on technical analysis.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes crypto is entering a new phase, driven by Coinbase's initiative to revive Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs). Hougan argues this could revolutionize capital formation, offering a more accessible and efficient alternative to traditional IPOs. Coinbase plans to launch one vetted token sale per month, incorporating team disclosures, lockups for insiders, and standardized screening to address past ICO issues. Hougan anticipates billion-dollar ICOs through platforms like Coinbase by 2026, stating even a few successful ICOs would prove a structural point, entrepreneurs can raise capital directly from investors. He suggests investments in Coinbase and base-layer ecosystems like Ethereum and Solana could benefit from this trend, viewing it as a positive development for the crypto market as a whole, which currently has a total market cap of $3.42 trillion.

Canary Capital launched its XRP ETF, XRPC, on the Nasdaq, and it achieved $58 million in trading volume on its first day, November 13th. This was the highest first-day trading volume of any ETF launched in 2025, surpassing Bitwise's BSOL ETF. The ETF was approved under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act without any objections. Despite a general downturn in the crypto market, the demand for this regulated XRP investment product remained strong. XRPC offers direct exposure to XRP's price and is custodied by Gemini Trust Company and BitGo Trust. The successful launch highlights the increasing interest in crypto assets linked to real-world applications, such as XRP's use in global payments.

Bitcoin's price dropped below $97,000, a multi-month low since early May, despite positive macro developments like the US government reopening. Just three days prior, Bitcoin was above $107,000, but failed to sustain gains. An analyst, Doctor Profit, predicts further decline to between $90,000 and $94,000. This downturn has affected other cryptocurrencies, with many experiencing double-digit percentage losses. Over $1.1 billion in leveraged positions have been liquidated, impacting over 240,000 traders. Long positions account for the majority of liquidations at $966 million, while short liquidations totaled $124 million.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP all experienced price declines on Friday, continuing a week of losses. Bitcoin fell below $97,000, a key psychological level, after failing to break through resistance at $106,453. If it closes below $97,460, it could fall further to $95,000. Ethereum's price also dropped, trading around $3,200 after facing resistance near $3,592. A close below $3,170 could lead to a further decline toward $3,017. While XRP also decreased to around $2.30 after failing to sustain a rally to $2.53, Canary Capitals XRP ETF (XRPC) launched and saw a record-breaking $58 million in first-day trading volume, surpassing previous records for new ETFs.

Altcoin ETFs are seeing record trading volumes, with the Canary XRP ETF reaching $58.5 million on its first day, surpassing the previous record held by Bitwise Solana at $57 million. However, altcoin prices, including XRP, SOL, HBAR, and ETH, are currently falling, despite the ETF success. This decline is attributed to broader market weakness influenced by Bitcoin's drop and rising dominance, macro pressures, and profit-taking. One analyst anticipates a major altcoin season in the first quarter of 2026, suggesting substantial rallies for these altcoins after Bitcoin completes its next cycle.

A market expert calculated that if 12 XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds) were available and performed as well as the Canary Capital XRP ETF (XRPC) did on its initial trading day, they could attract $2.94 billion in investments in a single day. The Canary Capital XRP ETF is the first spot XRP ETF and has demonstrated strong performance upon its market debut.

In response to U.S. tariffs, South Korea plans to increase electric vehicle (EV) subsidies by 20% in 2026, raising them to $642.25 billion from $535.18 billion in 2025, to stimulate local demand. The government will also support auto part suppliers with over $10.29 trillion in policy finance and strengthen guarantee programs for overseas manufacturers, especially those in Mexico and the U.S., by offering long-term, low-interest loans. Hyundai Motors has been affected by the 25% tariff on U.S. exports (later reduced to 15% after a meeting between the presidents), but the rate cut has not yet been implemented due to delays in releasing a joint fact sheet detailing the trade and security agreement. South Korea is urging the U.S. to release this fact sheet quickly, but the delay is due to disagreements within the U.S. administration over nuclear issues, particularly South Korea's desire to enrich uranium and process spent nuclear fuel. Despite these disagreements, South Korea plans to sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on investments in the U.S. and tariff reductions once the joint fact sheet is released, alongside other measures like a joint statement on security and a special law on U.S. investments.

Pantera Research Lab has launched a new DAT Dashboard to analyze digital asset tokens (DATs). The dashboard aims to offer a more detailed view beyond just market capitalization (mNAV), focusing on token fundamentals, market sentiment, and how the tokens are managed. The tool analyzes price movements based on underlying crypto growth, crypto-per-share accretion, and sentiment multiples, separating real value growth from market reactions. It also monitors token issuance practices, highlighting the importance of cautious capital raising to avoid diluting existing holders' value. The dashboard tracks 30 major DAT tickers across BTC, ETH, and SOL, providing data to benchmark performance and transparency, which Pantera believes is crucial for the sector's sustainable growth.

The first US spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), Canary Capitals XRPC, launched with $58 million in trading volume on its first day, making it the most successful ETF launch of the year, narrowly beating Bitwise's Solana ETF. This strong debut suggests growing interest from larger investors in regulated ways to invest in cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite the ETF's successful launch, the price of XRP dropped 7.3%, falling below $2.30, with a large volume of XRP being traded during this price decrease. However, some market analysts predict XRP could reach $3.50 by the end of 2025 and potentially $5 by 2026 if institutional investment continues.

The Canary Staked SEI ETF has been listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) platform, a key step towards its potential launch. This listing means the ETF is technically ready for electronic trading and clearing, but it still needs approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) before it can actually operate. The DTCC handles the clearing and settling for most US stocks and ETFs. Recently, the US Treasury and Internal Revenue Service issued guidance that clarifies the rules for crypto ETFs that stake assets and distribute rewards. This new guidance could increase the chances of the SEC approving staking-inclusive products like the Canary SEI ETF.

The U.S. government announced new trade agreements with Argentina, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Ecuador to lower tariffs on imported goods like coffee, chocolate, and bananas. This aims to reduce costs for U.S. consumers, as prices for these items have recently increased. For example, coffee prices rose nearly 19% in the past year. The agreements include the U.S. eliminating tariffs on clothing and textile goods from El Salvador and Guatemala. Argentina will also see reduced tariffs on specific resources used in pharmaceuticals. The White House states these agreements will help U.S. farmers and businesses by increasing export opportunities. However, existing tariffs imposed earlier in the year on Guatemala, El Salvador, and Ecuador will remain. Separately, the U.S. is in trade negotiations with Switzerland to address its significant trade surplus with the U.S., potentially leading to lower tariffs on American goods.

Crypto analysts are suggesting that the price of SUI, a cryptocurrency, could increase significantly. One analyst, Michael van de Poppe, sees SUI sitting on a major support level which could trigger a rally. He identifies potential price targets of $2.70-$2.90 and $3.27. Another analyst, Ali Martinez, points to a bullish pattern forming on SUI's weekly chart, suggesting a possible increase to $20. These predictions are based on both technical analysis of SUI's price history and the growing interest in SUI's ecosystem, particularly its involvement with stablecoins like USDSui. SUI is currently trading around $1.81, down 10%, but analysts believe this dip could be part of a larger setup for future gains.
