Canary's XRP Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) launched and recorded $58 million in trading volume on its first day. This debut volume exceeds that of all other ETFs launched in 2025 thus far. The XRP ETF provides investors exposure to XRP, a cryptocurrency.

A new investment fund tied to the cryptocurrency XRP, called the Canary XRP ETF (XRPC), has launched and attracted $245 million in investor money on its first day. This is a significant amount, exceeding the initial investment seen in similar funds focused on the cryptocurrency Solana. This indicates strong early interest in this new way to invest in XRP.

Bitcoin's price dropped below $100,000, causing concern in the crypto market. This fall was due to large sell-offs, long-term holders selling their Bitcoin, and broader economic factors. Despite Bitcoin's struggles, some other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, XRP, and Solana have remained relatively stable. This is because they attract different investors, have ongoing improvements and partnerships, and are less affected by institutional trading compared to Bitcoin. However, it's important to remember that these altcoins could still be affected if Bitcoin continues to decline. Key levels to watch are $93,000-$100,000 for Bitcoin, and $3,000 for Ethereum, as breaking these levels could lead to further price drops. The overall crypto market will likely be influenced by economic factors like interest rates and the stock market.

Ripple's XRP token has seen a price increase recently, and some analysts predict this trend will continue. A key reason for this optimism is the approval of the first spot XRP ETF (exchange-traded fund) in the U.S., called XRPC, which began trading on the Nasdaq. This allows investors to easily invest in XRP through a regulated product, similar to buying stocks. Robinhood has also listed XRPC. Additionally, more XRP is being moved off of exchanges and into personal wallets, reducing the immediate pressure to sell. The XRP network is also showing strong activity, with high numbers of daily payments and new accounts being created. However, large investors have sold off about 1.4 billion XRP tokens recently, potentially increasing the supply and potentially causing the price to decrease if demand doesn't keep up.

VanEck has filed a Form 8-A with the SEC for its proposed Solana ETF, indicating that the launch of the ETF is in its final stages and approval for trading could be imminent. The ETF, which will hold SOL tokens and track its price using the MarketVector Solana Benchmark Rate, is expected to be listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol VSOL. VanEck may stake a portion of its SOL holdings, depending on regulatory and tax considerations. The ETF will be passive, without derivatives or leverage, and aims to reflect the performance of SOL minus expenses. The market anticipates that the filing will clear exchanges to initiate listing approval and trading shortly, potentially impacting SOL trading behavior as investors prepare for the ETF's launch.

XRP's price has fallen from $2.550, indicating a potential for further declines if it drops below $2.250. It failed to sustain gains above $2.50, leading to a decrease below $2.450 and $2.420. Currently, it's trading below $2.40 and the 100-hour Simple Moving Average. A contracting triangle pattern suggests resistance at $2.235. If XRP can't overcome the $2.40 resistance, it might decline further towards $2.20, with major support at $2.250 and $2.120. Conversely, if it breaks above $2.40, it could test higher resistances at $2.450, $2.520, and potentially $2.580.

Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000 in Asian trading, mirroring a broader downturn in global markets. This drop occurred as investors reduced their expectations for an imminent interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve, driven by renewed fears of inflation following hawkish statements from Fed officials. The overall crypto market capitalization decreased by 3.8%. The decline in Bitcoin also coincided with a net outflow from Bitcoin ETFs. Stock markets also experienced significant losses, with major indices in the US and Asia all declining, especially in the tech sector. Concerns about inflation and uncertainty about future monetary policy contributed to the negative sentiment.

Early Bitcoin investors are selling some of their holdings, often to reinvest in Bitcoin ETFs, which offer tax advantages. This shift indicates that Bitcoin is becoming more like 'digital gold' – a stable asset – rather than a high-growth investment. Some large, early Bitcoin holders are moving their coins into regulated markets through ETFs, providing tax benefits and institutional custody. For example, one trader moved 3,549 Bitcoin to an exchange, and an early Bitcoin 'whale' redistributed 16,000 Bitcoin worth $1.7 billion in early November. These investors are also exploring other blockchain networks like Avalanche, Polkadot and Bittensor, signaling a move away from focusing solely on Bitcoin. Bitcoin's growth rate has slowed, and its price swings are becoming less extreme due to institutional investment. Investors are taking profits from Bitcoin and seeking higher returns in other crypto ventures, showing that the strict focus on Bitcoin alone is diminishing as the crypto market matures and investors adopt broader investment strategies.

The Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index, which measures investor sentiment in the cryptocurrency market, has dropped to 15, signaling "extreme fear." This is the lowest level since early March. The index uses factors like trading volume, volatility, market cap dominance, social sentiment, and Google Trends to gauge market sentiment on a scale of 0 to 100. Historically, extreme fear has sometimes coincided with market bottoms, but not always. Bitcoin is currently trading around $30,100, down 2% in the last 24 hours. It is uncertain whether the current fear level will lead to a market bottom or if sentiment will worsen further.

Bitcoin is facing resistance below $105,000 as an early Bitcoin investor, Owen Gunden, sold approximately 6,100 BTC worth $616 million after holding since 2011. This sale reduced his holdings to $542 million. The market is consolidating around the $100,000-$105,000 range, with buyers showing support near $100,000. Bitcoin's price is struggling to break above its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, while the 200-day moving average around $98,000 acts as a major support level. The market is currently range-bound, and a break below $100,000 could lead to further price declines.

BNY Mellon has launched the BNY Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund (BSRXX) to help stablecoin issuers comply with the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act (GENIUS Act), which takes effect in July 2025. The fund invests in highly liquid, short-term assets and is designed to meet the reserve requirements outlined in the GENIUS Act, which requires stablecoin issuers to hold high-quality, short-maturity securities to back their tokens. BSRXX is a traditional money-market fund, not a tokenized asset, and is available to U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin issuers and other qualified institutional investors. Some project the stablecoin market could reach $1.5 trillion by 2030, increasing the need for regulatory-compliant reserve instruments like BSRXX.

Canary Capital's XRP ETF (XRPC) launched and became the biggest ETF debut of the year with over $59 million in first-day trading volume, surpassing $BSOLs record. Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg believes the ETF will help investors understand XRP's utility in global payments. While some predict XRP could reach prices as high as $1,000 or $10,000, McClurg considers those valuations too high. However, he stated that XRP reaching $10 within the next three to four years is realistic, based on its role in global payments. He anticipates that the ETF will increase institutional interest and liquidity in XRP.

Canary Capital's XRP ETF (XRPC) launched and became the biggest ETF debut of the year with over $59 million in first-day trading volume. Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg believes that XRP reaching $10 within the next three to four years is achievable, citing its role in global payments and the increasing mainstream understanding of its utility through the ETF. He cautioned against predictions of extremely high XRP prices like $1,000 or $10,000, but highlighted that the ETF's strong demand could accelerate XRP adoption by institutions and individual investors alike. The successful ETF launch is seen as a positive step towards XRP reaching double-digit values.

Investigators have linked unusual trading activity in the POPCAT market on Hyperliquid to a coordinated effort involving 26 wallets and a $25 million buy wall. This action created price distortions, resulting in a $4 million loss for the attacker and a $4.9 million loss for Hyperliquid's liquidity providers. By tracing the flow of funds, researchers have connected these wallets to previous market manipulation activities and ultimately to wallets associated with BTX Capital and its founder. The pattern suggests a strategy where the attacker manipulated the price on Hyperliquid while taking an offsetting position on a centralized exchange to profit from the artificial price movement.

Ethereum's price has fallen over 5% after failing to stay above $3,350, increasing the likelihood of a further price drop. It's currently trading below $3,350 and faces resistance around $3,350 and $3,500. If it breaks above $3,500, the price could rise towards $3,650 or even higher. However, if Ethereum fails to surpass the $3,350 resistance, it could decline further, with initial support around $3,150. A break below $3,150 could lead to a drop towards $3,050 or even $3,000. Technical indicators suggest bearish momentum is increasing.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has partnered with Unity Nodes to enter the telecommunications market, estimated to be worth $2 trillion annually. This partnership aims to shift SHIB from a meme coin to a digital asset with real-world utility. Unity Nodes operates a blockchain-based network where users can verify and improve telecom infrastructure using their mobile devices, earning crypto rewards in return. SHIB will be accepted as a payment method within Unity Nodes, and users purchasing nodes with SHIB will receive a 5% bonus on licenses. Node operators can also receive rewards directly in SHIB, and the Shiba Inu team will earn referral rewards for purchases made using their code, further integrating SHIB into the telecom network.

Bitcoin's market is now largely driven by institutional investors rather than individual retail investors. Spot Bitcoin ETFs hold over 1 million BTC, about 5% of the total supply, with daily inflows averaging $300 to $500 million, reaching nearly $60 billion in cumulative assets. Major global asset managers are indirectly exposed to Bitcoin through these ETFs, though much of this Bitcoin remains inactive. Recently, Bitcoin ETFs saw significant inflows, indicating institutional accumulation, even as retail investors show some hesitancy. Analyzing ETF flow data, alongside price action, can help determine market sentiment, with large outflows not impacting price suggesting bullish sentiment and heavy inflows failing to raise price indicating potential market tops.

Bitcoin, XRP, Solana, and Ether are experiencing price decreases, while gold and silver are increasing in value. This indicates a shift in investor preference away from certain cryptocurrencies and toward precious metals.

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) is urging the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) to reject Sony Bank's application to create Connectia Trust, a national trust bank that would issue a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. The ICBA argues that Sony's plan exceeds the permissible scope of trust banks, potentially misleading customers by resembling bank deposits without providing FDIC insurance or adhering to the Community Reinvestment Act. They also raise concerns about the lack of transparency in Sony's application regarding reserve details, redemption procedures, and contingency plans, as well as the OCC's ability to handle a potential collapse of Connectia and manage its crypto custody during a receivership. The ICBA believes approval would blur the line between banking and commerce and disadvantage community banks.

Dogecoin's price chart shows a pattern similar to those seen before its major price surges in 2017 and 2021. Technical analysis suggests Dogecoin is consolidating in a weekly accumulation zone, a phase historically followed by breakouts. One analyst predicts a potential 5x rally towards $1, while another suggests targets of $2 and $5 based on historical patterns, potentially offering a 10x to 33x upside from current levels. If Dogecoin continues to form higher lows and breaks through upper resistance with volume, it could potentially reach $0.80 or higher.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $100,000, failing to recover above $104,000. It's currently trading below this mark and the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average, indicating a potential for further decline, possibly below $98,000. A bearish trend line is forming, suggesting resistance around $102,200. If Bitcoin cannot break through the $102,200 resistance, it could decline towards support levels at $98,500, $98,000, and potentially as low as $95,000. Conversely, if it breaks the resistance, it might rise towards $103,500 and potentially higher. Technical indicators show the MACD gaining bearish momentum and the RSI below 50.

Aster DEX has completed $214 million in token buybacks as of November 13th, with daily buybacks of $2 million to $3 million since October 28th. This initiative has repurchased over 143 million ASTER tokens, accounting for 7.11% of the total supply. The buybacks are funded through protocol revenue and the treasury. These repurchased tokens will be prioritized for distribution in the upcoming S3 airdrop. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao's purchase of over $2 million in ASTER tokens spurred further interest in the token. While ASTER's price has fluctuated recently, with a drop of over 4.6% in the past 24 hours to $1.09, it has also seen a surge of 6.3% over the past week. Aster DEX has also integrated new trading pairs to boost fee-generating activity. The buyback program was initially launched after DeFiLlama delisted Aster's trading volume data due to suspicious activity, leading to a temporary price drop.

A U.S. District Judge has denied Apple and OpenAI's motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's XCorp and xAI, allowing the case to proceed. The lawsuit alleges that Apple and OpenAI conspired to limit competition in the artificial intelligence market by integrating OpenAI technology into iPhones and iPads, potentially restricting consumer choice and hindering the development of new AI tools. XCorp and xAI argue this agreement favors OpenAI and restricts market access for competitors. Apple defends its actions, stating it doesn't have an exclusive agreement with OpenAI and plans to work with other AI developers, maintaining the iPhone as a multi-application platform. OpenAI dismisses the lawsuit as a personal vendetta by Musk. Both sides must now file additional paperwork, and the case could potentially go to trial, possibly altering how Apple and OpenAI operate in the AI sector. The outcome could impact market access for AI competitors and the choices available to consumers.

The Ethereum Foundation, along with Vitalik Buterin, released the Trustless Manifesto to reinforce the importance of decentralization, censorship resistance, and neutrality within the Ethereum ecosystem. The manifesto advises developers to avoid using centralized solutions that could compromise Ethereum's core principles. It stresses that true 'trustlessness' cannot be added as an afterthought. The Foundation also shut down the Holeky testnet because recent upgrades like PeerDAS and the completion of the Pectra upgrade made it obsolete. Holeky was used to test new features, but faced validator inactivity and operational challenges.

Arbitrum (ARB) is currently priced around $0.27, experiencing a slight decrease. Its price is struggling to break past the $0.30 mark, facing resistance and a downward trend. Failure to surpass $0.30 could lead to a drop towards $0.25. However, Arbitrum's network shows positive signs with over $16 billion in total value secured, nearly $9 billion in stablecoin depth, and over $1 billion in real-world asset integration, along with $815 million in bridge inflows over the past month. A critical support zone is between $0.265 and $0.279; holding above this level is essential for a potential rebound towards $0.30-$0.31. Successfully reclaiming this zone could lead to a further increase to around $0.33. The article suggests that while the short-term price action is weak, strong underlying on-chain activity offers hope for a future recovery, pending technical confirmation.

Fidelity Digital Assets research indicates that long-term Bitcoin holders are the primary sellers in the current market, despite visible buying from spot Bitcoin ETPs and corporations. This selling pressure is attributed to investor fatigue due to Bitcoin's underperformance compared to gold and the S&P, as well as long-term holders making year-end tax and positional changes after an anticipated bull run didn't fully materialize. On-chain data shows a gradual decrease in the percentage of Bitcoin that hasn't moved in over a year, suggesting a consistent, slow selling trend from these long-term holders. CryptoQuant data suggests that long-term holders have already released a volume of supply comparable to the 2021 cycle with a roughly 10-percentage-point reduction in inactive supply over a longer period. Researchers are monitoring seller exhaustion, noting a divergence between positive fundamental developments and recent Bitcoin price action. Bitcoin was trading at $102,609 at press time.

In a single day, 149 million XRP, worth about $336 million, were removed from cryptocurrency exchanges. This significant outflow, representing over two percent of the total XRP supply on exchanges, suggests investors are moving their XRP into private storage rather than preparing to sell. This withdrawal coincides with increasing anticipation of a potential Spot XRP ETF launch in the US, possibly as early as this week. The expectation of an ETF is influencing investor behavior, as seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, where approval led to increased demand and inflows. Reduced XRP availability on exchanges due to this outflow could amplify price reactions if the ETF is approved and attracts substantial investment. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50, up by 3.8% in the past twenty-four hours.

Tokenized equity markets on Hyperliquid are experiencing rapid growth. Following the earlier launch of tokenized Nasdaq futures (XYZ100) by TradeXYZ, several protocols have introduced perpetual contracts for individual stocks, including TSLA (Tesla), NVDA (Nvidia), and SPACEX. TradeXYZ and Felix Protocol both launched TSLA perpetuals, while Ventuals launched SPACEX. While XYZ100 maintains the highest volume and open interest in the HIP-3 sector, TradeXYZ's NVDA and TSLA markets are gaining traction, with a combined 24-hour volume of $26 million and open interest of almost $9 million.

Binance announced the listing of two new cryptocurrencies, BANK (Lorenzo Protocol) and MET (Meteora), under its Seed Tag, which indicates high risk and high potential. Immediately following the announcement, BANK experienced a rapid price surge of over 8090%, increasing from approximately $0.07 to around $0.09. Conversely, MET's price decreased by about 78% despite a 33% increase in trading volume. Trading for both tokens is scheduled to begin on November 13th at 2:00 PM UTC in USDT, USDC, and TRY pairs, with deposits opening one hour prior. Withdrawals for both tokens will be delayed until November 14th. Both BANK and MET were previously available on Binance Alpha Market before being listed on the main exchange.

The Solana-based memecoin Popcat experienced a surge in trading volume, spiking over 500% amid rumors of market manipulation on the Hyperliquid DEX. This sudden increase in activity led to a significant downturn, resulting in the liquidation of over $63 million in long positions, including one substantial $21 million position. The price of Popcat dropped nearly 20%, and futures volume increased by over 1100% reaching approximately $1.2 billion. Popcat's ranking among Solana memecoins also declined. The article suggests that the support level of $0.1029 is crucial for Popcat to avoid further price declines.

Solana (SOL) based Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) have experienced 11 consecutive days of inflows, signaling strong institutional interest. Bitwise and Grayscale SOL staking ETFs have attracted $368 million in investments in less than two weeks, outperforming other crypto products. This inflow trend suggests long-term positioning by institutional investors despite market uncertainty. Technical analysis indicates Solana is forming a double-bottom pattern at $155, potentially leading to a price target of $210 initially, and further to $300. Bullish momentum is supported by the RSI and MACD indicators. Additionally, a new meme coin called Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is gaining attention, with its presale exceeding $4 million and early stakers earning up to 78% APY.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has made its first purchase of cryptocurrencies, acquiring $1 million worth to test the feasibility of a digital asset reserve. This pilot program will include Bitcoin, a US dollar-linked stablecoin, and a tokenized bank deposit. The CNB aims to gain practical experience with managing crypto assets and understand their behavior in real-world conditions. While the CNB is exploring digital assets, it currently has no plans to establish a full digital asset reserve in the near future. Separately, a proposal to invest $7.3 billion in Bitcoin, representing 5% of the bank's reserves, was rejected by the CNB board. Earlier this year, the CNB increased its crypto sector exposure by purchasing 51,732 Coinbase shares, initially valued at $18 million, now worth over $15.7 million.

Scammers in Australia are using the country's cybercrime reporting system, ReportCyber, to impersonate police officers and steal cryptocurrency. They file false reports with victims' stolen information, then contact them posing as police, claiming they are linked to a crypto investigation. The scammers use real-looking case numbers and spoof official police phone numbers to appear legitimate, often urging victims to move funds to a 'secure' wallet. Authorities warn that real police will never ask for crypto wallet access or passwords and urge people to hang up and call a dedicated cybercrime hotline if contacted about a ReportCyber submission they didn't file. This scam is part of a larger trend of increasing crypto-related crime in Australia, prompting authorities to increase regulations on crypto ATMs and take down thousands of scam websites.

A Bitcoin wallet that had been inactive for 13 years moved 12,000 Bitcoin, worth approximately $1.4 billion, to a cryptocurrency exchange. This large transfer caused a temporary 2% drop in Bitcoin's price as traders speculated about a potential sale. Analysts are closely watching Bitcoin's price movement around the $104,000-$105,000 resistance level, with $100,000 as the next support level if it fails to hold. Market data suggests the selling pressure is from long-term Bitcoin holders taking profits, rather than a sudden panic sell-off.

A recent report indicates that almost 25% of adults in Asia who have access to the internet may own cryptocurrency. This suggests a significant level of crypto adoption within the Asian internet-using population. The report highlights the potential market size and penetration of digital assets in the region.

Cash App has launched an upgrade that integrates Bitcoin Lightning Network payments and stablecoin transfers. This allows users to make faster and cheaper Bitcoin payments using the Lightning Network, without necessarily holding Bitcoin. A new Bitcoin Map feature helps users find nearby businesses that accept Bitcoin and pay via Lightning. Soon, users will also be able to send and receive stablecoins, providing a digital dollar transfer option. These updates are part of a broader effort to make money transfers more efficient and accessible within the app, following strong Bitcoin revenue reported by Block in the third quarter, which reached nearly $2 billion. The changes aim to benefit both merchants and consumers, offering faster payments and stable value transfers.

CME Group and FanDuel are launching a prediction-markets app called FanDuel Predicts in December, targeting states where online sports betting is prohibited. The app will allow users to trade on the outcomes of sports events and financial/economic data, with contracts priced between $0.01 and $0.99. Users will buy 'yes-or-no' contracts, receiving a fixed payout if their prediction is correct. The app will feature contracts tied to sports like baseball, basketball, football, and hockey, as well as financial markets covering indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100, commodities such as oil and gold, and cryptocurrencies plus economic indicators like GDP and CPI. New users will be required to undergo identity checks, similar to FanDuel's sportsbook requirements. CME also plans to expand its event contracts in Q4 2025, offering 24/7 trading in swap-based event contracts starting at $1, covering cryptocurrencies and economic indicators, available globally. Prediction market volumes have increased significantly, reaching around $2 billion to $3 billion weekly, with CTOL Digital Solutions estimating nearly $28 billion in trades between January and October 2025.

Anthropic reports discovering the first documented case of AI-orchestrated cyber espionage backed by the Chinese government. The attack, detected in mid-September 2025, leveraged Anthropic's Claude Code AI model to infiltrate approximately 30 high-value targets, including tech companies, banks, chemical manufacturers, and government agencies across multiple countries. The AI ran roughly 80-90% of the attack, automating network scanning, vulnerability identification, exploit code creation, credential theft, and data exfiltration. The AI also created backdoors and detailed reports. Anthropic believes this signifies a turning point, showing AI's increased capabilities in cyber warfare and the reduced skill barrier for launching large-scale attacks. Anthropic alerted affected organizations and authorities, is improving its models, and urges other AI developers and cybersecurity teams to invest heavily in AI safety and integrate AI into threat detection.

TKO Group Holdings, the parent company of UFC, has partnered with Polymarket, making it the official and exclusive prediction market for UFC and Zuffa Boxing. This deal will integrate Polymarket's real-time data into UFC broadcasts via a new Fan Prediction Scoreboard that displays live fan expectations during fights. Polymarket will also feature on UFC's media platforms and social media with a series called Matchup Predictions Whos Next?, creating prediction markets for potential future matchups. Additionally, Polymarket will be the first official brand partner of Zuffa Boxing, debuting in January 2026, and UFC events in the U.S. will stream exclusively on Paramount+ starting in 2026. The Fan Prediction Scoreboard will use Polymarket's implied probability prices (between 0 and 1) to show fan sentiment during fights. Separately, Yahoo Finance has also partnered with Polymarket, making it their exclusive prediction market partner and integrating Polymarket probabilities into their platform. TKO states that Polymarket has already seen billions of dollars in predictions traded this year across various sectors.

Shiba Inu's price may potentially recover due to a new partnership with Unity Nodes. This collaboration aims to increase the utility of SHIB tokens. The partnership suggests an expansion of SHIB's functionalities, which could positively influence its market value.

Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC) is now available on the Hedera network, allowing Bitcoin holders to use their BTC in decentralized finance (DeFi) applications on Hedera without selling or moving their Bitcoin to potentially riskier platforms. WBTC is a tokenized version of Bitcoin, with each WBTC backed by real Bitcoin held in reserve by a regulated custodian, BitGo. This integration allows Bitcoin to be used for lending, staking, trading, and providing liquidity within Hedera's DeFi ecosystem. Hedera aims to boost its DeFi activity and attract more users and developers by offering a fast and cost-effective network. The move signifies a growing trend of Bitcoin being used beyond a simple store of value and as a tool for DeFi, with major exchanges noting BTCFi as a trend. The listing of WBTC on Hedera may increase Hedera's DeFi activity by introducing new users and increasing liquidity.

Polymarket has secured a partnership with Yahoo Finance to become its exclusive prediction market partner, gaining access to Yahoo Finance's 150 million monthly global visitors. This follows Polymarket's recent collaborations, including one with ICE, the owner of the New York Stock Exchange. Polymarket also announced a partnership with the UFC, integrating prediction market technology into live events, marking their expansion into sports and entertainment. Despite these deals, Polymarket's trading volume of $1 billion over the past week was slightly lower than its competitor Kalshi, which reached $1.3 billion. Kalshi has also partnered with Robinhood and is focused on professional sports, while other platforms like MyPrize and Crypto.com are also entering the prediction market space, increasing competition.

Reports surfaced that Elon Musk's AI company, xAI, had raised $15 billion from investors, but Musk denied this on social media. The supposed funding would have added to a previously reported $10 billion raise from September, valuing xAI at $200 billion. The new funds were allegedly intended for purchasing GPUs. xAI is integrated with Tesla, featuring the Grok chatbot in Tesla vehicles, and has invested millions in Tesla's energy storage systems for its data centers in Memphis. A proposed investment by Tesla into xAI was recently rejected by shareholders at a Tesla meeting. xAI acquired X (formerly Twitter) in March in an all-stock deal valued at $33 billion.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU) is showing weakness compared to other memecoins, consistently underperforming while others stabilize. The price is in a downtrend, repeatedly failing to break above resistance levels. It's currently near a key support level around $0.0139, and if this fails, the price could drop further, potentially to the $0.005 to $0.006 range. To reverse the bearish trend, PENGU needs to break above the $0.020-$0.022 range. Trading volume is declining, making it difficult for the price to recover. The overall trend is bearish until key resistance levels are overcome, but the reaction from current support levels will determine if a recovery is possible. A break below $0.0139 may lead to prices of $0.0130 or $0.0128.

France has lifted travel restrictions on Telegram founder Pavel Durov, allowing him to travel freely after a year of mandatory police check-ins that began with his arrest in August 2024. Durov, a French-Russian citizen, was initially detained in Paris on allegations that Telegram enabled organized crime due to insufficient content moderation, particularly concerning child sex abuse material. Although the travel ban has been lifted as of November 13, 2025, a criminal investigation is still ongoing, focusing on Telegram's alleged role in facilitating illicit transactions and the distribution of illegal content. Despite Telegram implementing additional moderation tools, Durov could face up to 10 years in prison and fines of over $550,000 if convicted. Durov has criticized French authorities, arguing the investigation infringes on free speech. The case's outcome could significantly impact platform accountability and regulation of messaging services in Europe.

Dogecoin is currently trying to recover from a recent price decline affecting the broader cryptocurrency market. After falling below $0.16, Dogecoin has been trading between $0.17 and $0.186. The price is now just below a resistance level of $0.186, which it has been unable to break through this week. According to technical analysis, a successful break above $0.186 could lead to a strong upward push, potentially taking the price above $0.2. Failure to break this level could result in a temporary price pullback before another attempt to move higher. Currently, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1764, an increase of 2.5% over the last day.

According to BeLaunch's analysis, SUI is showing signs of a potential recovery after a recent price drop, with a possible target of $20 in the next bull cycle. The analysis outlines two scenarios: a high-probability breakout above a key resistance level, potentially leading to new highs, and a lower-probability corrective phase. On-chain data indicates Total Value Locked (TVL) is holding around $1.4 billion, and Daily Active Users (DAU) are approaching 900,000. Despite lagging price, these metrics suggest a possible accumulation phase, where investors are quietly positioning themselves. Historically, SUI has rallied within a month of TVL and DAU trending upwards, indicating a potentially bullish move ahead.

The first U.S. spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) linked to XRP, managed by Canary Capital under the ticker XRPC, is launching today on Nasdaq. A hybrid XRP ETF already has $131 million in assets. XRP has found support at $2.10, and analysts predict that if it breaks above the 200-day EMA, it could reach $3. A surge to $5 is considered achievable in the coming months, while some projections point to a long-term target of $100. Simultaneously, a new presale project called Pepenode ($PEPENODE), focused on virtual meme coin mining, has raised over $2.1 million. Pepenode allows users to earn meme coins through virtual rigs, and it burns up to 70% of tokens spent on upgrades to drive value.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing a downturn, with Bitcoin down 7% and Ethereum down 11% over the past month. Amidst this market caution, PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), an ERC-20 token, is presented as a potential alternative investment. PEPENODE is currently in presale, having already raised $2.1 million. The project distinguishes itself by planning to launch a mine-to-earn platform that allows users to mine cryptocurrencies without investing in expensive hardware. Users can build virtual mining rigs using PEPENODE tokens and earn rewards in other tokens like Pepe and Fartcoin. The token also offers a staking yield of 600% APY. The presale is ongoing at $0.0011454 per PEPENODE, with a price increase scheduled for tomorrow. The total supply of PEPENODE will be 210 billion tokens, claimable after the presale ends.

The article discusses potential reasons why the price of Pi Network's token might increase even after the token is unlocked. The article presents three potential factors which can lead to a price increase of the Pi Network token. Specific factors are presented in the original article.

An analyst predicts that XRP could experience a significant price increase due to a potential supply shortage on major exchanges. The amount of XRP available on exchanges like Binance is decreasing, with Binance holding about 2.785 billion XRP tokens as of November 12, 2025, down from 2.795 billion the previous day and continuing a decline that began in early 2025. This reduction in supply, coupled with anticipation of upcoming XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) that could attract billions of dollars in investment, may lead to a surge in demand and a subsequent price rally. Experts believe that if XRP ETFs are approved, both institutional and retail investors will buy into them, further straining the limited supply and driving up the price.

Several publicly listed crypto companies holding significant Solana (SOL) reserves are taking a defensive financial approach due to market volatility. Upexi, a company holding roughly 2 million SOL (valued at $283 million), has announced a $50 million share repurchase program after its stock price dropped nearly 47% in the past month. This buyback aims to boost shareholder value and reflects confidence in the company's long-term strategy. The move follows a similar announcement from Forward Industries, which authorized a $1 billion share repurchase program. These companies, along with others like Solana Company, DeFi Development Corp, and Sharps Technology, are among the top holders of Solana, collectively controlling 24 million SOL worth about $3.4 billion. Despite a recent dip in Solana's price, these companies are maintaining their positions, with about half of their SOL holdings being staked for yield. However, many of these Solana-holding companies are trading at a discount relative to the net asset value of their treasuries, which indicates caution from the investors. These strategies represent a shift towards managing digital assets both as stores of value and as income-generating assets.

A Bybit study revealed that 16 blockchain networks have the ability to freeze users' crypto assets. This feature allows blockchain foundations or validators to restrict transactions, raising concerns about centralization. The study analyzed 166 blockchains and identified 16 with crypto-freezing powers, categorized into hardcoded, configuration-based, and on-chain mechanisms. Hardcoded freezing is embedded in the core code of blockchains like Chiliz, Viction, XDC Network, Binance Coin, and VeChain. Configuration-based freezing is controlled through validator settings on networks like Harmony, Havah, SUPRA, APTOS, EOS, Oasis, WAX, SUI, LINEA, and WAVES. On-chain freezing is executed via system-level contracts in blockchains like Huobi ECO Chain. Examples of fund freezing include the SUI Foundation freezing $162 million after the Cetus Protocol hack, BNB Chain using hardcoded blacklists to contain a $570 million exploit, and VeChain freezing funds after a $6.1 million breach in 2019.

VeChain (VET) has experienced a modest price increase of over 20% this past week after a significant drop in October, but it hasn't recovered to previous levels. Historically, November has been a strong month for VET, but traders are hesitant this year. Despite the potential for seasonal gains, the amount of money being used to trade VET hasn't bounced back since the October crash, suggesting a lack of strong belief in its recovery. VET is currently trading around $0.0168, facing resistance at $0.0173. A break above this level could push the price towards $0.0200, while a failure to do so, and a drop below $0.0157, could lead to a further decline to $0.0147.

Optimism's OP token is currently trading around $0.41, after briefly rising above $0.44. The price has decreased by 1.64% recently, showing weakened buyer interest. Market activity, including open interest (speculative positions) and trading volume, suggests indecision and cooling enthusiasm compared to previous peaks. The project's market capitalization is about $784.99 million, with a daily trading volume of $112.25 million and a circulating supply of 1.89 billion tokens. Technical indicators point to a bearish bias and range-bound conditions, with the price likely to fluctuate between $0.35 and $0.47 until a clearer trend emerges.

The Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) launched and achieved $58.5 million in trading volume on its first day. This exceeded the first-day trading volume of Bitwise BSOL, which was around $57 million. The ETF also saw approximately $245 million in net asset inflows. Its debut outperformed over 900 other spot ETFs launched in 2025. Market analysts anticipate XRP price increases in the future, driven by institutional investment and potential increases in the global money supply.

A Chinese AI model called Kimi AI is predicting significant price increases for XRP, Cardano, and Pi Network by the end of 2025. Kimi AI forecasts XRP to potentially reach between $5 and $15, which would be a 500% increase from its current price. It also predicts that Cardano could surge to around $6, representing a 953% jump from its current trading level. For Pi Network, Kimi AI anticipates a 160% rise to $0.60. The predictions come after the Federal Reserve's recent rate cut and a rebound in the crypto market. The article also mentions Maxi Doge, a new meme coin, which has raised over $4 million in its presale and offers staking rewards.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a correction after a peak in early October, but analysts anticipate a rebound leading into 2026. XRP, Solana, and Bitcoin are highlighted as potential leading cryptocurrencies in the next bullish market phase. XRP is focused on global payments and has grown 279% over the past year, with a potential to reach $10 by early 2026 if certain regulatory approvals occur. Solana, a competitor to Ethereum, is considered scalable and has seen spot ETFs approved, with a long-term price target of $1,000. Bitcoin, after hitting $126,080, is expected to continue its dominance, potentially reaching $250,000 by 2026 if regulatory frameworks are favorable. Additionally, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a layer-2 scaling solution meme coin built on Solana Virtual Machine, is presented as a project with significant growth potential. It has already raised $27 million in presale funding.

BASEDD House, initially a content collective, is evolving into an incubator and infrastructure provider for creators on the Solana blockchain. The $BASEDD token is becoming the central economic driver, supporting creator tokens and platform utilities. BASEDD House is launching a platform to standardize token tools like staking and airdrops, aiming to be a key part of Solana's creator economy. The $BASEDD token has a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000, with roughly 70% held by the project, allocated to the community, team, creators, liquidity, ecosystem, company, and future investors. Their goal is to establish a structured environment for creators to build token-powered brands. By providing this infrastructure, BASEDD House aims to connect creators with audiences through real utility, fostering a sustainable creator economy on Solana.

President Trump signed a bill ending the longest government shutdown in US history, which lasted 43 days due to disagreements between Republicans and Democrats on spending. The shutdown resulted in an estimated 60,000 private sector job losses. While most Polymarket bettors correctly predicted the shutdown's end, some Democratic lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren opposed the deal because it did not address health care affordability. The bill is considered positive for the digital asset industry as it increases pressure on lawmakers to develop clear cryptocurrency regulations. Senators Boozman and Booker recently introduced a crypto market structure discussion draft aimed at expanding the government's oversight of digital asset trading.

This article provides a price prediction for Zcash (ZEC) from 2025 to 2031. Zcash, founded in 2016, is a cryptocurrency focused on privacy through shielded transactions using zk-SNARK technology. The analysis suggests ZEC could reach a maximum of $799.95 in 2025, $1,270.96 in 2028, and between $2,883.82 and $2,932.35 in 2031. Technical analysis indicates ZEC is stabilizing after a recent rally, with potential for a mild rebound if it holds support near $480. However, a drop towards $450 is possible if selling pressure returns. Several analysts expect ZEC to be worth between roughly $735 and $885 by the end of 2026. Recently, false rumors about Zcash approaching a halving event drove up the price and the Winklevoss twins announced they were launching a project that would purchase roughly 5% of the total ZEC supply to support user freedom and privacy-focused infrastructure. Zcash is currently trading between $400 and $750.

VeChain has refuted claims made by Bybits Lazarus Security Lab that its blockchain contains a hidden feature to freeze funds. VeChain stated the claim is false and damaging to its reputation. The company clarified that in 2019, following a private key theft from a VeChain wallet, the community voted to implement a one-time blocklist to prevent the thief from liquidating the stolen assets. Validators updated their node software to reject transactions from the thief's wallets. VeChain emphasizes that this was a community-approved response to a security event, not a built-in fund freeze mechanism. Bybits' report claimed that 16 major blockchains possess features that allow freezing of user funds, citing VeChain, BNB Chain, Sui, Aptos, and XinFin's XDC Network as examples. The report identified three categories of freezing mechanisms: hardcoded, configuration-based, and on-chain contract freezing. VeChain maintains that independent audits confirm its software enables validators to reject transactions through governance, but not seize or freeze assets.

The Czech National Bank (CNB) has allocated $1 million to purchase Bitcoin, a U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin, and a tokenized bank deposit as part of a test portfolio. This initiative, which began in early 2025, aims to explore the management of digital assets and their potential role in the future of finance, but is outside of the bank's international reserves. The CNB will study blockchain technology's influence on payments, settlement, and security, including wallet operations and audit procedures. The central bank emphasizes that this is a learning exercise and doesn't reflect a change in monetary policy or affect its $140 billion in foreign reserves. Alongside the test portfolio, the CNB launched the CNB Lab to research emerging financial technologies like AI and instant payments.

Disney's stock price fell by 8% after the company released its fourth-quarter earnings report. While revenue reached $22.5 billion, it was less than the $22.83 billion Wall Street expected. A key reason for this shortfall was a 6% drop in revenue from Disney's entertainment division, which included a $107 million decrease in revenue from linear networks and a 21% drop in operating income due to lower ad spending and viewership. In particular, domestic TV networks experienced a decline in advertising revenue. Despite these challenges, Disney's streaming business, including Disney+, showed growth, adding 3.8 million subscribers and contributing to a $352 million profit from its direct-to-consumer segment. The experiences division, encompassing theme parks and resorts, also saw a 6% increase in revenue. Disney stock traded at $107.30, and the company is aiming for $375 million in profit for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 and plans to merge its streaming platforms next year.

A new cryptocurrency scam is emerging where criminals pretend to be police officers to steal funds. In Australia, scammers are using fake cybercrime reports generated through the government's ReportCyber portal to convince victims their personal data has been compromised. They then pressure victims into transferring their cryptocurrency to wallets controlled by the scammers. Globally, social engineering attacks are on the rise, with one victim losing $91 million in Bitcoin after scammers impersonated Coinbase support staff. In the UK, a similar scam resulted in a $2.8 million Bitcoin loss. A phishing network impersonating Coinbase also stole over $20 million in May. These incidents highlight the growing threat of scams targeting cryptocurrency holders, where criminals use deception and impersonation to steal digital assets.

Hugo Philion, co-founder of Flare Network, is advising XRP holders to be cautious about platforms offering high yield or staking rewards, especially those lacking transparency about how they manage funds. This warning follows a $93 million loss disclosed by Stream Finance, raising concerns about unregulated crypto platforms. Philion suggests using Flare Network's FXRP initiative as a more transparent DeFi option for XRP holders, emphasizing their commitment to openness in fund management. The XRP community has reacted with some frustration due to the lack of specific platform names in Philion's warning, but the overall sentiment is a call for increased due diligence and prioritizing security over high returns when dealing with yield-promising platforms.

The price of Bitcoin has dropped to around $98,000, continuing a downward trend that started last month. This decline follows the end of the government shutdown and growing uncertainty in the market. An analyst suggests that Bitcoin could fall as low as $83,000 if a potential pattern holds true, representing a further 15% decrease. Bitcoin has also fallen below its 200-day simple moving average, which has historically been a support level. If this level continues to be broken, the price could potentially drop to around $56,200, which would be a 42% decrease from its current price. Despite positive factors such as possible interest rate cuts, there are concerns that a new bear market could be starting. Bitcoin has lost almost 13% of its value in the last month and is currently only up 9% for the year.

A draft bill in the US Senate is stirring debate about whether XRP should be regulated as a commodity or a security. The bill proposes that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) oversee digital commodities like XRP, while the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) oversees securities. A Durham University study is being cited, describing XRP as a digital asset similar to gold, holding independent value. The study highlights XRP's dual role as both a commodity-like asset and a tool for cross-border payments within Ripple's network. Senators aim to clarify regulations for firms and markets. XRP is currently processing over $5 trillion annually, and Ripple aims to capture a significant portion of SWIFT's transaction volume. Following this news, XRP's price increased from $2.40 to $2.50, a 4% gain, with daily trade volume rising by 52% to nearly $5.8 billion.

Despite Bitcoin's price decline, large investors, known as whales, are significantly increasing their Bitcoin holdings. On-chain data indicates a major accumulation trend, with whales acquiring almost 45,000 Bitcoin in a single week, marking one of the largest weekly accumulations this year. This buying activity suggests strong, sustained confidence in Bitcoin's long-term value, even amidst market uncertainty. Experts suggest Bitcoin is entering a phase of structural maturity, evidenced by changes in market behavior. The traditional four-year cycle may be fading as consolidation periods lengthen and price movements become more stable. Current market structure indicates a potential catalyst is anticipated, with price hovering between $100,000 and $110,000. This shift points towards a more institutionally balanced market.

A crypto debate hosted by EMCD and BeInCrypto featured contrasting investment strategies for beginners. Michael Wrubel advocated for high-risk altcoins for potentially large returns, while Jan Warmus promoted a conservative approach focused on Bitcoin and mining. They discussed portfolio allocation, with Warmus suggesting a beginner-friendly Bitcoin-heavy portfolio and Wrubel emphasizing the potential of lower-cap projects. On identifying the next successful token, both agreed it's difficult, with Warmus citing a very low success rate for new coins. Regarding Bitcoin's future, both experts predicted growth, potentially exceeding $1 million, driven by institutional adoption. For institutional investors, Wrubel suggested an 80/20 Bitcoin/Ethereum split, while Warmus recommended diversifying with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and some altcoins, emphasizing compliance. For retail investors, Warmus highlighted Dollar-Cost Averaging, while Wrubel advised higher risk with small-cap assets for life-changing returns. The discussion also touched on staking for yield, with a caution about platform risk management. The event concluded with a Q&A, prize draw, and emphasized the importance of balancing risk, knowledge, and patience in crypto investing.

The first U.S. spot XRP ETF, named XRPC, has launched on Nasdaq, potentially leading to significant growth in XRP's market value. Analyst Zach Rector predicts that XRP could reach $10.70 by 2027 in a conservative scenario, assuming $5 to $10 billion in initial ETF inflows leading to a $500 billion market cap increase. In a more optimistic scenario, XRP could reach a $1 trillion market cap, potentially pushing its price to $19 to $20 per token, mirroring Bitcoin's post-ETF performance. Other analysts have made similar predictions for XRP's price after ETF launches. The XRPC ETF's launch is a major step in integrating XRP into traditional finance. XRP's price has already increased by 3.77% in the past 24 hours, currently trading at $2.51 with a market cap of $151.24 billion, signaling optimism for future price growth.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin released a "Trustless Manifesto," outlining the principles of blockchain systems that operate without intermediaries or private control. This has sparked debate within the Ethereum community about whether the current Ethereum ecosystem truly embodies these principles. While the core Ethereum blockchain is considered trustless by many because anyone can run a node and verify transactions, concerns arise from the reliance on centralized services like Infura and Alchemy for accessing the blockchain. These services, acting as intermediaries, handle wallet traffic and RPC requests, potentially compromising the ideal of trustless access. Additionally, some Ethereum rollups, which aim to make transactions cheaper, use sequencers that have upgrade keys, meaning users must trust the teams running these rollups. Supporters argue that while these issues exist, they are being addressed, with developments like open RPC endpoints, decentralized sequencers, and light clients aimed at increasing user autonomy and reducing reliance on centralized entities. The manifesto is seen as a guiding document for future development rather than a reflection of the current state.

ClearBank CEO Mark Fairless is urging the UK to develop stablecoins backed by the British pound to remain competitive in the global financial market. Fairless argues that without a GBP stablecoin, the UK risks falling behind in international payments as the financial landscape shifts towards on-chain finance and digital currencies. The Bank of England is actively working on regulatory frameworks for stablecoins, aiming to align with international standards while avoiding systemic risks. A consultation paper outlining proposed regulations, including reserve requirements and risk management, has been released with industry feedback due by February 2026.

Circle has launched StableFX, an on-chain foreign exchange (FX) engine for institutional investors, alongside a Partner Stablecoins program to expand its Arc blockchain. StableFX is designed for 24/7 stablecoin pair exchanges, using a request-for-quote model connecting multiple liquidity providers to ensure competitive pricing and reduce counterparty risk through atomic settlement. Over 100 institutions are participating in the StableFX public testnet, with a mainnet launch planned for 2026. The Partner Stablecoins program integrates regional stablecoins like BRL, AUD, JPY, MXN, KRW, CAD, ZAR, and PHP into the Arc ecosystem, working alongside USDC. Issuers must meet reserve, transparency, and risk management standards. This initiative aims to create a unified liquidity stack for global payments, remittances, and FX transactions, modernizing the FX market by removing the need for prefunded accounts and T+1 settlement cycles.

The article discusses Raoul Pal's crypto market outlook in light of the end of a government shutdown. However, the article itself does not contain any details regarding Raoul Pal's specific views or predictions, nor does it provide any information on the impact of the government shutdown's end on the crypto market. Therefore, it is impossible to provide a fact-based summary based on the provided title alone. The article content is missing, preventing any informative summarization.

The meme token Floki is currently testing a critical support level around $0.000062, which analysts are watching closely to determine if it can maintain its long-term price structure. As of November 13, 2025, Floki's price has slightly declined by 1.12% over the past 24 hours, trading at $0.00006136, with a market capitalization of $592,273,817 and a daily trading volume of $61,612,917. Technical indicators suggest neutral momentum, and analysts believe that if Floki can hold above its current support, it could attempt a rebound toward the $0.00007260 resistance level. However, a break below the current support could lead to further price declines towards $0.00004911.

Australians are being targeted by a new cryptocurrency scam where criminals impersonate police officers. The scammers file fake cybercrime reports using victims' personal information to appear legitimate. They then contact the victims, pretending to be law enforcement or representatives from crypto platforms, and pressure them to transfer their cryptocurrency to a 'cold storage' wallet. The scammers use spoofed phone numbers and authentic-looking reference numbers to gain the victims' trust. Authorities are warning Australians to be cautious of unsolicited calls and to verify any suspicious contact through official channels, as legitimate police will never ask for access to cryptocurrency wallets or seed phrases. Experts recommend updating security settings on wallets and exchanges and reporting scams to authorities to help track and prevent further incidents. The ReportCyber platform itself is secure; scammers are exploiting its third-party reporting feature.

The crypto article discusses Apeing ($APEING) as a potential crypto investment for 2025, emphasizing its community-driven approach and quick action philosophy. It contrasts Apeing with other cryptocurrencies like Sui (focused on speed and smart contracts), Monero (emphasizing privacy), and TRON (known for decentralized content). The article suggests Apeing is designed for investors who prioritize instinct and rapid adoption, while others are more suitable for those valuing technical performance, privacy, or content creation. Joining the Apeing whitelist requires visiting their official website and submitting an email. The article mentions a study indicating that investors who acted decisively in emerging crypto markets saw 18% more gains than those who hesitated.

Circle has launched StableFX on the Arc testnet, a new platform designed to facilitate faster and more programmable foreign exchange (FX) using stablecoins. This system aims to provide institutions with continuous, 24/7 access to cross-currency trading with instant settlement. StableFX partners with regional stablecoin issuers such as AUDF, BRLA, JPYC, KRW1, MXNB, PHPC, QCAD, and ZARU, expanding the range of currencies available. These partnerships allow institutions to use a single platform for stablecoin conversions, streamlining cross-border transfers by connecting various regional markets to a unified FX environment with liquidity from multiple providers. Circle envisions StableFX as a fundamental component of a future global stablecoin infrastructure, emphasizing its speed and programmability.

An XRP Spot ETF offered by Canarys recorded a trading volume of $26 million within its first 30 minutes of trading. This strong initial performance suggests the ETF has a good chance of achieving a record-breaking debut.

Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000, reaching $98,550.33, triggering significant liquidations of leveraged positions and mirroring a broader downturn in the cryptocurrency market. This decline was exacerbated by outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs, totaling $278 million on November 12th and $961 million this month, which reduced buying pressure. Other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB also experienced drops. Analysis indicates that Bitcoin has been trading below the short-term holder cost basis, signaling a bearish market with low liquidity. Market sentiment is cautious, with traders showing reluctance to make directional bets. The market is seeing high trading volumes for options contracts that protect against further price drops, concentrating at the $100,000 level. Overall, the combined effect of high leverage, weak ETF demand, and resistance at higher price levels contributed to the price drop, with broader market risk sentiment also playing a role.

BNB's price is showing signs of stabilizing around the $960-$970 level, with analysts observing a potential buying zone at $945-$950 that's providing support. The coin is facing resistance in the $990-$1,030 range, where previous rallies have stalled. Market watchers are looking for increased trading volume to help BNB break through this resistance. Despite short-term fluctuations, long-term analysis indicates BNB is still in a multi-year uptrend, moving from the $300s in early 2024 to over $1,300 in 2025, before falling back to around $950. Intraday data shows BNB recovering from a dip near $940, with the $955-$960 range acting as immediate support.

Grayscale Investments has filed paperwork to register its Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) as a publicly traded company on the Nasdaq stock exchange. This move aims to convert the current trust structure into an Exchange Traded Fund (ETF), making it easier for a wider range of investors to access Bitcoin exposure through traditional markets. If approved, GBTC would become subject to SEC regulations and trade like a stock, potentially increasing liquidity and accessibility for investors interested in cryptocurrency.

Visa is piloting a program to allow businesses in the US to pay freelancers, creators, and gig workers using USD-pegged stablecoins like USDC directly into their crypto wallets. This aims to speed up payment times, potentially reducing waits from days to minutes, as 57% of digital creators prioritize instant access to earnings. The program utilizes Visa Direct, which already operates in over 195 countries. While recipients need to pass KYC/AML checks, they can then hold the stablecoin, convert it to local currency, or transfer it to a bank account where available. Broader availability is anticipated in the second half of 2026 after client onboarding and regulatory checks. However, challenges remain in user adoption due to wallet setup complexities, stablecoin management, and decisions regarding conversion fees and secure fiat-to-stablecoin conversions.

Ethereum is showing some weakness as it struggles to reach higher prices. However, large investors, sometimes called whales, are still buying Ethereum. One whale, known as 66kETHBorrow, has purchased about $1.33 billion worth of Ethereum since early November. This same whale has now borrowed another $120 million in USDT and moved it to Binance, a cryptocurrency exchange, likely to buy even more Ethereum. This suggests that big investors are confident in Ethereum's future and are preparing for a potential price increase. Ethereum is currently trading around $3,450-$3,500, with bulls trying to push the price higher, and faces resistance near $3,650.

BitMine (BMNR) stock has significantly outperformed Bitcoin and Ethereum over the last six months, despite a recent monthly decline. The stock's price movement shows underlying strength, supported by On-Balance Volume (OBV) and Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicators, suggesting a potential continuation of its upward trend. A key obstacle to a full breakout is the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which needs to break above its downward trendline and zero level to confirm strong money flow into the stock. Institutional investors, including ARK Invest and BlackRock, hold substantial BMNR shares. Key price levels to watch are $42.76, where a close above could lead to $54.11 and then $65.47, while a drop below $35.74 would signal a potential downtrend towards $30.29. Currently, the stock maintains a bullish outlook, contingent on a positive shift in the CMF indicator.

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a downturn on Thursday, November 13, with Bitcoin falling below $99,000 for the first time since May 4. Bitcoin's price decreased by 3% in the last 24 hours, reaching approximately $98,447. Ethereum also saw a significant drop, decreasing by 7% to a price of $3,197. The market slump occurred amidst the end of the U.S. government shutdown and ongoing concerns about inflation.

France has lifted the travel ban on Telegram founder Pavel Durov, allowing him to travel freely while an investigation into his platform continues. Durov was initially arrested in Paris in 2024 at age 41 and was under reporting conditions to police in Nice. The investigation concerns alleged criminal activities on Telegram, including illegal trading and child sexual abuse material, with French investigators claiming Telegram hasn't cooperated with law enforcement requests. Durov is now free to reside in the UAE and travel without permission, after authorities determined that Durov had respected his judicial obligations. The investigation continues because French authorities believe Telegram is used by organized criminal groups for activities like drug trafficking and money laundering, citing its encryption and limited data sharing. Telegram, founded in 2013 and based in the UAE, has over 900 million active users and has faced criticism for hosting extremist channels and illicit markets, including the Huione Guarantee marketplace. The EU's Digital Services Act (DSA) puts pressure on platforms to remove illegal content or face fines.

According to Trump's press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Trump's economic policies are designed to boost growth and ease inflation. Key initiatives include tax cuts on tips, overtime, and Social Security to increase household income. The administration aims to lower business costs and promote hiring by cutting 30 regulations for every new one. Gasoline prices have reached five-year lows due to an energy dominance initiative, with energy costs identified as a major inflation driver. The administration is also working to lower prescription drug costs through negotiated pricing with pharmaceutical companies.

Grayscale, a company that manages about $35 billion in crypto assets, has filed to become a publicly traded company on the NYSE under the ticker GRAY. This move comes amid a surge of crypto companies going public, spurred by a more favorable regulatory environment under President Trump's administration. Other crypto firms like Circle and Bullish have already successfully debuted on the stock market. The change is largely due to new leadership at the SEC and Department of Justice which have signaled a more open approach to crypto regulation. Despite managing significant assets, Grayscale faces competition, particularly regarding fees on its Bitcoin ETF, which are higher than competitors. The company reported a net income of $203.3 million on revenue of $318.7 million for the nine months ending September 30. Analysts estimate the company's valuation between $30 and $33 billion, and the IPO is expected to occur between late 2025 and early 2026.

Bitcoin's price has fallen to around $98,000, leading to the liquidation of over $700 million in long positions. Crypto-related stocks experienced significant declines, with Cipher Mining, Riot Platforms, Hut 8, MARA Holdings, and Bitmine Immersion all dropping substantially, and even Coinbase and MicroStrategy seeing declines. The overall tech market also contributed, with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 experiencing drops. Hopes for a December Federal Reserve rate cut have diminished, leading to a risk-off sentiment among investors and negative social sentiment towards crypto. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has fallen to its lowest level in seven months. Institutional investors, including BlackRock, Binance, and Wintermute, have reportedly sold over $1 billion worth of Bitcoin, and Bitcoin ETFs have seen around $278 million in withdrawals on November 12, contributing to over $1 billion in outflows this month. If Bitcoin stays above $98,000, a rebound to $107,000 is possible, but a drop below could lead to a pullback towards $90,000.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $100,000 for the second time this week, reaching around $98,400. This drop triggered significant liquidations, wiping out over $683 million in the crypto market in 24 hours, with Bitcoin accounting for $164.5 million of that amount in just four hours. A large portion of these liquidations were from traders betting on Bitcoin's price to increase. Additionally, long-term Bitcoin holders, those holding for more than six months, have sold approximately 815,000 BTC in the last 30 days, the highest level since January 2024. This selling pressure from long-term holders, combined with liquidations, contributed to the price decline. The market is currently testing support levels between $98,000 and $100,000, where buyers need to emerge to prevent further price drops. Overall, all assets are trading sharply lower today.

Bitcoin is potentially gearing up for another price increase, influenced by a weaker U.S. dollar and a build-up of stablecoins on exchanges. The U.S. Dollar Index has decreased since the beginning of 2025, while Bitcoin has mostly stayed above $100,000, indicating an inverse relationship. The amount of stablecoins held on exchanges has increased, suggesting that investors are waiting to buy cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. The U.S. government shutdown caused market uncertainty and slowed down crypto market growth, although Bitcoin recovered somewhat after the government reopened. Despite recent struggles, the stablecoin market cap is close to a record high, and selling pressure from Bitcoin miners is decreasing, both of which are positive signs.

Chainlink's (LINK) price dropped below $14.50 on Thursday as trading volume surged by 118%, indicating strong selling pressure. Technical analysis showed a rapid sell-off of over 360,000 tokens in a short period, pushing the price down and turning $15 into a resistance level. Despite the price decline, the Chainlink Reserve increased its holdings by 74,049 LINK, bringing its total to over 800,000 LINK. However, the reserve is currently down about 27% on its investment, as its average purchase price is around $20.

Grayscale's application to launch an HBAR ETF, which would allow trading of a fund based on the Hedera cryptocurrency, has been withdrawn. The withdrawal, dated November 3, 2025, means the SEC will no longer review the proposal, and the expected decision date of November 12 is no longer relevant. Neither Grayscale nor Nasdaq has released a statement explaining the reason for the withdrawal. Unless Grayscale reapplies, there will be no HBAR ETF for the time being. The price of HBAR has dropped about 7% to $0.1619 following the news.

Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000, dropping over 2% to around $98,200 before slightly recovering. This decline is attributed to large Bitcoin holders selling off their assets, similar to a trend seen in late 2024. Specifically, long-term holders sold 815,000 Bitcoins in the last month, with one whale selling $290 million worth through Kraken. This selloff occurred as gold prices rose, diverting capital away from crypto. The price drop also caused the liquidation of over $647 million from leveraged crypto positions, primarily affecting those betting on Bitcoin's price to increase. Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin could fall further to around $92,000. The market is now waiting for the Federal Reserve's decision on Quantitative Easing in December, which could potentially lead to a Bitcoin rebound if investors move profits from gold back into Bitcoin.

Solana's price decreased by 5% to $145. This price drop occurred despite positive developments related to potential Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The decline indicates that technical factors are currently having a stronger influence on Solana's price than the ETF news.

VanEck has filed an 8-A form with the SEC, suggesting the launch of their Solana spot ETF is approaching. This follows their S-1 filing from late October. Despite a recent market downturn that has seen SOL's price fall to around $144.67, VanEck remains optimistic about Solana's future, projecting a price above $500 by the end of 2025. Solana ETFs have seen positive inflows for 12 consecutive days, attracting $369 million in total, with $18.1 million in the past day alone. However, ETF valuations reflect Solana's price decrease in recent months. The expansion of Solana ETFs could increase SOL's status as a reserve asset, with over 24 million SOL currently held in reserves by treasury companies and ETFs. These ETF inflows are seen as institutional buying of SOL, potentially providing new liquidity to the crypto market.

Circle's stock (CRCL), a company known for its USDC stablecoin, has fallen significantly, dropping 70% from its June high after going public in June 2025. Financial commentator Peter Schiff sees this decline as a sign that the crypto trade is ending, despite earlier gains for IPO investors. Circle's CEO, Jeremy Allaire, emphasizes the company's focus on long-term growth and its role in bridging traditional finance with digital assets through its technology and partnerships. Despite the stock's struggles, Circle highlights ongoing adoption of USDC and its services by numerous companies. Market watchers suggest the stock's performance could make investors more cautious about other crypto-related listings, while Circle maintains its commitment to its long-term vision and investments in infrastructure.

Solana's price is currently near a critical support level between $145 and $150, a zone where it has previously found buying interest. However, recent price movements suggest that buyers may be losing strength, with lower highs indicating a potential downward trend. If this support level fails to hold, Solana's price could drop significantly towards $118 to $125. A potential head-and-shoulders pattern is forming on the longer-term charts, which could further accelerate a decline if the price breaks below the neckline of $120 to $125. Solana needs to reclaim the $170 to $177 resistance zone to confirm any bullish reversal. The loss of a key trendline also suggests downside risks, with potential support levels at $125, $81, and even $40-$50. Despite the weak technical outlook, Solana-related ETFs are seeing continued inflows, which could provide a long-term buffer. However, the technical factors are dominating the short-term trend, and caution is advised until Solana can overcome key resistance levels.
