A U.S. Federal Reserve official, Governor Stephen I. Miran, predicts that the growing use of stablecoins, digital currencies pegged to the dollar, could significantly impact the U.S. economy by driving down interest rates. Miran suggests the increasing demand for stablecoins will lead to more purchases of U.S. Treasury securities, effectively increasing the availability of loanable funds. This could lower the neutral interest rate, the rate at which monetary policy is neither stimulating nor restricting the economy, by as much as 40 basis points. The growth of stablecoins is substantial; transactions totaled $46 trillion in the past year. This growth has been aided by the GENIUS Act, which requires stablecoin issuers to back their reserves with safe, liquid dollar assets. Stablecoin reserves hold over $150 billion in U.S. Treasuries, making them a significant holder of American debt.

Coinbase has introduced a new platform that allows regular investors to buy new digital tokens early, in a safe and regulated environment. The first token offered through this platform is Monad's MON token, which will be available for purchase from November 17 to 22. This initiative aims to protect investors who plan to hold the tokens for a longer period by reducing the impact of quick, speculative trading and ensuring compliance with U.S. regulations. This is Coinbase's first time offering a token sale to the public since 2018.

Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit is reportedly in discussions to acquire Korbit, a South Korean cryptocurrency exchange. This potential acquisition would allow Bybit to expand its presence into the South Korean market. If the deal goes through, Bybit would gain access to Korbit's existing user base and regulatory licenses within South Korea, which has relatively strict rules for crypto exchanges.

BNB, the token for the BNB Chain, briefly exceeded $1,000, rising 1.6% in a day due to increased trading and a general upturn in the crypto market. This rise from around $988 was supported by consistent buying at higher price levels. However, the price faced resistance around $1,010, leading to a decline and the formation of a downward trend. Currently, immediate price support is around $1,000. If the price falls below this level, it could drop further to $991.86 or $977.90. If the price can sustain itself, the next target for buyers is a retest of $1,018, with a more ambitious goal of $1,065 if the market remains stable. The price movement of BNB depends on overall market conditions, liquidity, and the performance of exchange tokens.

A hacking campaign dubbed Operation GlassWorm has resurfaced, targeting developers using Visual Studio Code (VS Code) extensions. The malware steals credentials for platforms like GitHub and cryptocurrency wallets, potentially compromising user accounts and funds. Initially identified last month, the malicious code is embedded within seemingly legitimate developer tools available on both the Open VSX Registry and Microsoft's Visual Studio Marketplace. The attackers are using stolen credentials to infect more software repositories and packages, spreading the malware further. While Open VSX removed known malicious extensions in October, a new report indicates the campaign has returned with more advanced methods to avoid detection, infecting seven extensions with over 35,800 downloads. Ten infected extensions are currently active, distributing malware. The attackers use a unique command-and-control infrastructure, leveraging the Solana blockchain to update and rotate malware payloads, making it difficult to block.

Zodia Custody's 2026 predictions report suggests that the digital asset space will mature significantly, becoming more focused on practical application and infrastructure rather than speculation. Custody services are expected to become essential for institutional digital asset activities, with regulators establishing global standards. Stablecoins and tokenized funds will provide liquidity, while staking and DeFi will offer avenues for institutional yield. Digital-asset collateral is expected to unlock trillions in capital, improving transparency and capital cycles. Tokenized assets are anticipated to become mainstream, with improvements in infrastructure and tooling, leading institutions to treat them as digital cash equivalents for capital efficiency.

Analysts are predicting a potential price surge for XRP, linking it to the possible end of the US government shutdown. One analyst expects the largest XRP rally in history upon the government reopening, drawing parallels to a 2019 event where XRP rose over 70% after a shutdown ended. A bipartisan plan to reopen the government is showing progress in the Senate, but still needs House approval. Another analyst points to a technical chart pattern called a Bull Flag, suggesting XRP could initially drop to $1.90 before potentially rallying to $10, a 308% increase from its current price of $2.45. Breaking through the $3.5 resistance level is key for this surge.

The end of the US government shutdown is expected to boost crypto prices due to a large influx of liquidity. The Treasury Department will release an estimated $850 billion back into the market, reversing the previous liquidity drain. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is also set to resume full operations, potentially leading to the approval of over 90 pending crypto ETFs, including those from Fidelity and Grayscale, which could attract new capital. Additionally, a proposal for $2,000 stimulus checks, combined with the Federal Reserve's easing of quantitative tightening and potential rate cuts, could further fuel retail investment in the crypto market. The increased liquidity and regulatory progress are anticipated to create a positive environment for crypto prices in the coming weeks.

Bybit, the world's second-largest crypto exchange by trading volume, is reportedly in discussions to acquire Korbit, South Korea's fourth-largest crypto exchange. Executives from Bybit have met with Korbit's management to explore a potential deal. This follows Binance's acquisition of Gopax, another South Korean exchange, signaling a shift in South Korea's regulatory approach toward foreign crypto firms. Korbit is majority-owned by NXC (60.5%) and SK Planet (31.5%), and Bybit may aim to acquire both stakes to gain full control. South Korea is the world's second-largest crypto market, and Bybit's entry could increase competition, potentially impacting local financial institutions restricted from digital asset activities.

The article suggests that an altcoin rally may be starting, distinguishing it from a temporary 'dead cat bounce' due to strong upward movements followed by consolidation. It highlights ZEC's significant 1200% increase since September 2025 as an example, noting such gains in large-cap altcoins are possible. The article suggests that traditional crypto whales are in control of the alt market. The focus should be on solid projects with completed vesting, and coins with no team or VC vesting in the near future. Bitcoin dominance is important, it should be less than 57% for strong alt rallies. It advises against expecting similar gains from older, established coins and emphasizes responding to market signals to identify the leading narratives of this potential rally. The article concludes that ZEC is the first mover for the Q4 alt rally.

Thailand has approved $3.1 billion in investments for cloud and data centers, attracting major tech companies like DAMAC Digital, Empyrion Digital, Beijing Haoyang Cloud & Data Technology, and GSA Data Center O2. These investments include projects like an 84-MW data center from DAMAC and a 200 MW hyperscale data center from a local investor. Tech giants such as Bytedance, Google, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft are also planning significant investments in Thai data infrastructure. The Thai government views these investments as a way to boost investor confidence, increase employment, and improve the country's digital economy and data security. They are also streamlining investment rules to support these projects. The Asia-Pacific region, including Thailand, is seeing a surge in data center investments, driven by the growth of AI and the need for more data processing and storage capabilities.

An expert is predicting a potential 200% increase in the price of Shiba Inu cryptocurrency. This prediction is based on increases in open interest, which represents the total value of outstanding Shiba Inu futures contracts, and a spike in the burn rate, which refers to the rate at which Shiba Inu tokens are being permanently removed from circulation. These factors suggest growing interest and potentially reduced supply, which could drive the price upward.

A Senate deal to potentially end the US government shutdown has improved market sentiment, which could benefit cryptocurrencies. Historically, Bitcoin has performed well after shutdowns ended. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project aiming to improve Bitcoin transaction speeds, has seen strong presale interest, raising over $26 million. The project is designed as a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, promising faster and cheaper transactions while maintaining Bitcoin's security. The $HYPER token is intended for gas fees, staking, and governance within the platform. The current presale price for $HYPER is around $0.013245 per token, and it offers a 44% APY for staking.

VEST Labs has launched VEST Hash, a new cryptographic hash algorithm intended to improve blockchain and data security. VEST Hash combines SHA-3 and BLAKE2 to offer better collision resistance and energy efficiency, and is designed to be resistant to quantum computing threats.

VEST offers cloud mining services where you can claim a $15 startup bonus to start Hashing, and you can choose a contract plan, mine, and watch the profits roll in, according to the VEST website.

The price of Solana is predicted to potentially reach $200 this week. This positive outlook is supported by inflows of $137 million into cryptocurrency investment products, driven by the anticipation and launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs. These ETFs are attracting significant capital into the crypto market, indirectly benefiting assets like Solana.

Tom Lee's company, BitMine, continued purchasing Ether, adding 110,000 tokens to its existing holdings. This indicates a significant increase in BitMine's Ether investment.

Long-term crypto investors are shifting from meme coins to AI tokens and other utility-based crypto projects in 2025. This change is driven by a desire for sustainable portfolios based on fundamentals rather than hype. AI tokens offer clear revenue or usage mechanics, attract developer and enterprise interest, have regulatory durability, and provide meaningful secondary markets. Projects like Render, SingularityNET, and Fetch.ai exemplify this trend. While meme coins still have a role for short-term gains, long-term investors are prioritizing predictability and revenue capture. Investors are using product traction, aligned tokenomics, developer activity, auditability, and market structure as filters for evaluating AI and smart crypto projects. While execution, valuation, regulatory, and market risks still exist, a strategy of small allocations, data-driven due diligence, diversification, and close monitoring of tokenomics is recommended.

Ledger, a company that makes hardware wallets for storing cryptocurrency, is considering either launching an initial public offering (IPO) in New York or raising money privately. The company's CEO stated that New York is currently the center of the crypto market. Ledger's revenue has already reached hundreds of millions of dollars in 2025. The hardware wallet market is currently valued at about $263 million due to the heightened security concerns of keeping crypto on exchanges. Ledger currently secures approximately $100 billion in Bitcoin for its customers and was valued at $1.5 billion in a 2023 funding round.

I am sorry, but I cannot provide a summary because the article content is missing. I need the text of the article to create an accurate summary of the Pi Network's current situation and the factors influencing its price.

Coinbase has launched a new platform to give everyday investors early access to token sales, previously limited to venture capitalists and institutions. The first token sale on the platform will be for Monad, a blockchain project focused on enhancing privacy and security for decentralized applications, starting November 17th. This initiative aims to broaden access to early-stage crypto investments, which can offer higher returns but also come with increased risks. In related news, Coinbase Prime, designed for institutional investors, now offers custody for the digital assets 375ai, Kite, and Intuition.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI) has experienced a significant price increase, rising 25.5% in the last 24 hours and 19.6% over the past week. This surge is attributed to optimism surrounding the potential end of the U.S. government shutdown and the announcement of a $2000 dividend payment by President Trump, both of which are boosting investor confidence. Despite these gains, WLFI remains 52.7% below its all-time high reached in September. While the project's website disclaims any direct involvement of Donald Trump or his family, the token is still being linked to the Trump brand. CoinCodex forecasts a potential price drop to around $0.092 by November 20, suggesting a possible correction. The crypto market is recovering from a volatile October, and WLFI's price is currently driven more by sentiment and narrative than by fundamental factors, indicating continued volatility is likely.

A trial involving two brothers accused of a $25 million exploit on the Ethereum blockchain ended in a mistrial because the jury couldn't reach a verdict. The brothers, Anton and James Peraire-Bueno, were accused of using MEV bots to manipulate transactions and extract money from users. Prosecutors claimed they defrauded users, while the defense argued their actions were simply exploiting the system's design. The case has raised questions about the legality of MEV activities in the crypto space.

The article compares two crypto presales, Remittix ($RTX) and Digitap ($TAP), both focused on cross-border payments. Remittix aims to simplify crypto-to-fiat transfers for remittances, targeting a specific part of the market. Digitap ($TAP) is presented as an "omni-bank" integrating fiat, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies into a single app, already available with virtual Visa cards. Digitap uses an AI-powered engine to select the optimal payment rail (blockchain or traditional banking) for each transaction, aiming to provide a seamless user experience. The $TAP tokenomics include using 50% of platform profits to buy back and burn tokens, with the other half rewarding stakers. The Digitap presale has surpassed $1.6 million, suggesting investor preference for its broader banking approach over Remittix's more limited remittance focus. Digitap's $TAP token is currently available at $0.0297 during the presale, with a planned listing price of $0.14.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is showing positive momentum, trading above $0.000010, as meme coins generally rally. Futures Open Interest for SHIB has increased, indicating investor confidence in a potential price increase. Technical indicators suggest a bullish trend in the short term. If SHIB maintains its price above $0.00001029, it could target $0.00001175. However, a market reversal could lead to a decline to $0.00000971.

eToro's third-quarter financial results have exceeded expectations, according to KBW, a financial services company. This positive performance is attributed to strong activity in cryptocurrency trading on the eToro platform. The report suggests that increased interest and participation in the crypto market have significantly contributed to eToro's revenue during this period, indicating a direct link between crypto market trends and eToro's financial success.

Siddhant Awasthi, the head of Tesla's Cybertruck program, has left the company after eight years. He oversaw the Cybertruck project from its early stages to full production and also led the Model 3 program. Several other Tesla executives have also recently departed, including leaders of the Optimus robot program, North America sales, battery technology, and the Dojo supercomputer project. Tesla's third-quarter vehicle deliveries were strong due to a US tax credit, but analysts expect a slowdown. In Germany, Tesla's October sales fell significantly compared to last year, despite overall growth in electric vehicle registrations. Tesla CEO Elon Musk's compensation plan, potentially worth $1 trillion if the company reaches an $85 trillion market cap, has also been approved.

An analyst has challenged Fundstrat's Tom Lee's prediction that Ethereum's price could reach $60,000. Lee based his forecast on the idea that real-world assets will move onto the Ethereum blockchain. He estimated that even a small percentage of the $200-$300 trillion global financial market moving to Ethereum could significantly increase its value. The analyst, BitWu, agrees Ethereum has long-term potential but believes Lee's timeline is too aggressive. BitWu thinks that full adoption depends on macroeconomic factors, regulatory clarity, and infrastructure maturity, estimating that the real breakout for real-world assets on Ethereum may not happen until 2026-2028. In related crypto news, some altcoins like ADA, INJ, LINK, LDO, and XRP have important events this week. Crypto funds saw a loss of $1.2 billion in the US, except for Solana and XRP. Some market indicators suggest an altcoin season might be starting, and key events like a government shutdown deal could trigger a rally for XRP.

Cantor Fitzgerald predicts that shares of IREN, a company involved in AI technology, could potentially increase in value by almost 500% by the year 2028. This projection is based on a deal IREN has with Microsoft related to artificial intelligence. The analyst firm sees this partnership as a significant driver for IREN's future growth and stock performance.

Cathie Wood of ARK Invest has adjusted her future price prediction for Bitcoin due to the growing popularity of stablecoins. While she still sees Bitcoin as valuable digital gold, serving as a store of value, she lowered her 2030 price target from $1.5 million to $1.2 million per coin. This revision reflects stablecoins like Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC) becoming widely used for everyday transactions, especially in countries with unstable currencies. Wood still believes the cryptocurrency market could reach $25 trillion by 2030, with Bitcoin making up a large portion of that amount, showing continued long-term optimism about Bitcoin's role as a store of value.

Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, has publicly denied any business or financial connections to the Trump family or their crypto venture, World Liberty Financial. This statement follows Zhao's recent pardon by the former President. Zhao stated in an interview that he had no prior deals or negotiations with Trump or his sons and did not anticipate the pardon. The pardon has led to scrutiny from lawmakers, with some suggesting the possibility of political favors influencing the decision. There are no direct market implications mentioned in the article.

The article suggests that XRP is poised to experience the most significant positive impact following the resolution of a government shutdown. The reason for this anticipated benefit is tied to regulatory clarity that would likely emerge with the government's reopening. This clarity is important for cryptocurrencies like XRP, which have been facing uncertainty regarding their legal status. The end of the shutdown is expected to allow regulatory bodies to resume normal operations, potentially leading to clearer guidelines and policies that could positively affect XRP's market position and investor confidence. It is implied that the current regulatory ambiguity has been a hindrance, and its removal could unlock new opportunities for XRP.

River suspended conversions of its River Pts token after detecting what it alleges was a coordinated market manipulation attack. The price of River Pts plummeted by over 75% in 24 hours, while the RIVER token dropped over 13%. River claims that large short positions were opened while significant amounts of River Pts were converted to RIVER and immediately sold, creating a pressure loop. To prevent further collapse, River halted River Pts conversions. The company believes this action stopped the attackers from profiting further, as they closed their short positions after the suspension. River is now working on redesigning its conversion mechanism with improved risk controls and plans to publish detailed data and hold a community AMA to address concerns. The company denies any involvement in the manipulation.

Recent Bitcoin market uncertainty has led to concerns about the end of a bullish cycle, but some analysts believe it's just a restructuring phase. Open interest in Bitcoin futures has decreased, suggesting less speculation. Institutional investors in the US show weaker demand compared to the rest of the world, but this is interpreted as repositioning rather than a sell-off. Bitcoin reserves on exchanges are low, indicating long-term holders are moving coins to private wallets. Liquidity in stablecoins is increasing, potentially signaling future buying activity. Bitcoin may consolidate in a narrow range for weeks or months. Leveraged traders should be cautious, while long-term investors may find opportunities for gradual accumulation.

The article discusses a potential scenario where the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield could rise to 6%. The basis for this prediction is a chart pattern that the author claims is similar to a bullish setup observed in Bitcoin's price action earlier in 2024. The article suggests that if this pattern holds true for the 10-year yield, interest rates on government debt could increase significantly.

The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) is advising the UK Chancellor against raising taxes in the upcoming budget, fearing it will weaken the job market. Their concern stems from employers' warnings that artificial intelligence (AI) is causing job losses and a CIPD survey indicating that AI is impacting hiring decisions. Job postings have significantly decreased since April 2022. One in six employers are considering furloughing workers due to AI, with junior and administrative roles most at risk, especially in large private companies. Some companies anticipating AI-driven job cuts are planning to reduce their staff by over 10%. The Chancellor is considering increasing the minimum wage from 12.21 euros to approximately 12.70 euros per hour, further raising labor costs on top of previous increases to employer National Insurance rates which have already caused job losses. A survey suggests that additional cost increases could lead to hiring slowdowns, redundancies, and price increases for businesses. The Chancellor aims to control inflation, currently at 3.8%, and may go against a Labour pledge not to raise income tax in order to improve public finances.

Coinbase is reintroducing a platform for digital token offerings. This move signifies Coinbase's return to facilitating the initial distribution of new cryptocurrencies to investors. The platform aims to provide a regulated space for token launches, potentially increasing access to new crypto projects for Coinbase users and expanding the overall crypto market's reach.

Starknet (STRK) has experienced a significant price increase of 30% in the last 24 hours. This surge is attributed to several factors including its BTCFi initiative which allows Bitcoin holders to stake their BTC and earn STRK rewards, attracting over $200 million in staked assets including 880 million STRK and 835 BTC. The deployment of StarkWare's S-two Prover, which enhances throughput and decentralization, also contributes to the price increase. Additionally, optimism surrounding Starknet's v0.14.0 upgrade, which introduces improvements to decentralization and network efficiency, plays a role. From a technical standpoint, STRK has surpassed the 38.2% Fibonacci retracement level at $0.1343 and remains above the 30-day simple moving average of $0.1216, indicating a bullish breakout.

On October 10th, Bitcoin and Ethereum prices suddenly fell sharply. According to Binance Research, this crash was due to a large sell-off of risky investments, totaling over $19 billion, triggered by new tariffs announced by the US and general uncertainty about the economy. Bitcoin dropped around 4%, while Ethereum fell 8.6%. While the overall crypto market lost 6.1% of its value, it recovered relatively quickly, with high-risk positions increasing again by the end of the month. Bitcoin's market share also increased, suggesting investors moved to less risky assets. An index that measures expected price swings indicated that investors didn't anticipate a long-term crash. However, because risky positions have increased again, another sudden price drop is possible if new economic issues arise.

The cryptocurrency HBAR has seen a significant price increase, jumping over 14% in 24 hours to around $0.19 and approaching a key resistance level of $0.20. This surge is part of a broader recovery in the crypto market, fueled by optimism due to a U.S. Senate agreement that averted a potential government shutdown. Bitcoin also experienced a notable rise, and HBAR's increase comes after the approval of an HBAR ETF. If HBAR breaks past the $0.20 resistance, it could potentially climb to $0.29. However, failure to surpass this level could lead to a price decrease, potentially down to $0.12.

The FET price has recovered in November, breaking out of a previous failure zone and reclaiming a key moving average. Currently, the price is consolidating below a major resistance level around $0.395-$0.41. If buyers can push the price above this level and then above $0.568, it could signal a stronger bullish trend. Failure to break above the resistance could lead to a drop back to support levels around $0.293 or $0.26. A successful breakout above $0.568 and a close above $1.00 in 2025 could potentially lead to a rally toward $1.10 and even a revisit of the all-time high of $3.48 in 2026, according to a weekly falling-wedge pattern analysis.

The article discusses how the idea of putting real-world assets like stocks and bonds onto the Ethereum blockchain is gaining traction, potentially driving up the price of Ethereum to $63,000 according to Tom Lee's prediction. BlackRock's tokenized money-market fund has grown to over $2.8 billion, showing increased institutional interest. The article highlights PepeNode ($PEPENODE), a new cryptocurrency that combines the popularity of meme coins with a game-like experience where users can earn rewards by building virtual mining rigs. PepeNode is currently in presale with staking offering a 613% APY and plans to launch its mine-to-earn game after the token generation event and list on cryptocurrency exchanges. The article suggests that PepeNode's combination of meme culture and utility could attract investors as risk appetite returns to the market and that there are potential upside returns for current investors.

The cryptocurrency market is up, and meme coins related to Donald Trump are performing particularly well. This follows President Trump's recent statements, including his promise of a dividend to Americans. Official Trump (TRUMP) coin increased by 14%, reaching almost $8.60 and becoming the fifth-largest meme coin with a market capitalization of $1.7 billion. Other Trump-related meme coins like Super Trump (STRUMP), Pepe Trump (PTRUMP), and SUI TRUMP (SUITRUMP) also saw gains, as did MELANIA. World Liberty Financial (WLFI), another digital asset connected to the Trump family, increased by 33% to $0.16, making it the best-performing top 100 cryptocurrency today.

Ripple has secured $500 million in new funding. The article discusses the potential impact of this funding on XRP and RLUSD, Ripple's planned USD-backed stablecoin. The funding aims to bolster Ripple's financial position and potentially accelerate its expansion into new markets and innovative products, including its stablecoin project. The anticipation is that with this capital injection, Ripple will have increased resources to develop and promote both XRP and RLUSD, potentially leading to greater adoption and utility for these assets.

The CoinDesk 20 index, which tracks the performance of the top cryptocurrencies, saw almost all assets increase in value. Uniswap's UNI token experienced the most significant gain, rising by 16.6%. The overall positive trend indicates a broad-based increase in the value of major cryptocurrencies.

Strategy, the company holding the most Bitcoin, bought another $49.9 million worth of Bitcoin last week, increasing its total holdings to 641,692 coins. The average purchase price for these recent buys, made between November 3rd and 9th, was $102,557 per Bitcoin, including fees. This purchase was funded by selling shares of STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD. Despite a recent decline, Strategy's stock is up slightly today as the crypto market rebounds, with Bitcoin reaching as high as $106,000. The positive market sentiment is linked to the potential end of the U.S. government shutdown, which is expected to boost institutional buying of digital assets and could lead to the approval of spot crypto ETFs.

Federal Reserve Governor Stephen Miran believes the growth of stablecoins, digital currencies pegged to the U.S. dollar, could lead to lower interest rates in the next five years. He suggests that as the stablecoin market potentially grows from $310 billion to $3 trillion, it will increase demand for U.S. Treasury bills. This increased demand, particularly from international buyers, could prompt the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. Miran also highlighted the importance of regulations like the GENIUS Act, which aims to establish clear guidelines and consumer protections for stablecoins, requiring issuers to maintain reserves backed by safe, liquid dollar assets.

Coinbase, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has launched a new platform designed to allow its retail investors to participate in token sales. This means that regular users of Coinbase will now have access to opportunities to buy new cryptocurrencies directly through the exchange when they are first offered to the public. This platform simplifies the process of investing in new digital assets for the average investor.

Jason Fang, CEO of Sora Ventures, is now the largest shareholder in AsiaStrategy following an ownership change in Pride River Limited, AsiaStrategy's major shareholder. A recent agreement shifts Pride River's ownership structure, giving Sora Ventures II Master Fund a 21% stake, which, when combined with Sora Vision Limited's 30%, gives Fang the largest effective interest. This change does not affect AsiaStrategy's management or operations. AsiaStrategy, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker SORA, is rewarding VIP watch customers with Bitcoin gift cards as part of its strategy to integrate its luxury watch business with Bitcoin initiatives. The company holds 30 BTC and aims to scale its treasury over time, using Anchorage Digital for custody and settlement. They also plan strategic investments in Asian Bitcoin sector companies, aiming to build a large regional Bitcoin position.

Donald Trump has proposed a plan to distribute $2,000 payments to approximately 85% of American adults, excluding high earners, funded by tariff revenue. The Supreme Court is currently considering his tariff policies, with prediction markets indicating a low probability of approval. Analysts anticipate some of this money could be invested in assets like Bitcoin and stocks, potentially causing a short-term price increase. However, experts caution that this stimulus could significantly increase national debt and contribute to long-term inflation, potentially devaluing the U.S. currency.

Bitcoin's price is potentially influenced by Donald Trump's plan to issue $2,000 stimulus checks funded by tariffs, reminiscent of the 2020 stimulus that boosted Bitcoin. The US has already collected over $151 billion in tariff revenue, with projections of $500 billion annually. Bitcoin is trading around $106,338, up 3.7% in 24 hours, with a market capitalization above $2.12 trillion, having broken above the $106,000 resistance level. If Bitcoin holds above $105,800, the next resistance is at $108,000, with a key barrier at $111,200. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Bitcoin-native Layer 2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), aims to combine Bitcoin's security with Solana's speed. Its presale has surpassed $26.4 million, with tokens priced at $0.013245.

Bitcoin's price increased above $106,000 following a U.S. Senate vote to end a 40-day government shutdown. The shutdown had negatively impacted digital asset markets, causing Bitcoin to fall below $100,000 several times. Other cryptocurrencies also experienced gains, with ETH rising over 7% to surpass $3,600, and XRP and Solana each increasing by approximately 6%. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows of more than $2.1 billion during the eight trading days of the shutdown, while Ethereum funds lost $579 million. Crypto stocks also declined, with Coinbase decreasing by 9% and Strategy by 8% last week.

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, has purchased an additional 487 Bitcoin for approximately $49.9 million, at an average price of $102,557 per Bitcoin. As of November 9, 2025, the company now holds 641,692 Bitcoin, acquired for a total of about $47.54 billion at an average price of $74,079 per Bitcoin. The current value of Strategy's Bitcoin holdings is over $68 billion, resulting in a paper profit of approximately $20.5 billion. Despite these Bitcoin acquisitions, Strategy's shares (MSTR) have declined by 40% over the past six months and currently trade around $241.

Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, purchased 487 Bitcoin for $49.9 million, increasing their total holdings to 641,692 Bitcoin acquired for $47.54 billion at an average of $74,079 per coin. The firm's Bitcoin holdings are now valued at $68.29 billion, representing nearly $20.75 billion in unrealized gains. As a result, MSTR stock jumped 3% to $249.74 in pre-market trading. Bitcoin's price also increased, soaring above $106,000 amid optimism surrounding a potential end to the US government shutdown. Bitcoin futures open interest also jumped, indicating bullish sentiment among traders.

The article identifies Alphabet (Google), Meta Platforms (Facebook), and Micron Technology as potentially undervalued tech stocks. Alphabet's stock trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 27, lower than the S&P 500 average of 32, despite the stock increasing by 50% this year. Google Cloud now contributes 14% of Alphabet's revenue, highlighting growth beyond its traditional search business. Meta Platforms, with 3.5 billion daily users, is investing heavily in AI infrastructure with capital expenditures estimated between $70-72 billion, while digital advertising accounts for 98% of Meta's total revenue, its net income fell 9% in the first three quarters of 2025 due to rising income tax expenses. Micron Technology, the only U.S. manufacturer of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips crucial for AI, saw revenue grow by 49% in fiscal 2025 and net income increased by 11 times during the same period. It trades at 30 times trailing earnings, but the forward P/E ratio is just 13 reflecting expected earnings growth from continued AI chip demand. These companies, involved in AI development and infrastructure, are presented as possibly undervalued compared to other tech stocks with soaring valuations.

According to an ETF specialist, the first spot XRP ETFs in the US could launch this week, contingent on the US government shutdown ending and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) resuming normal operations. Several XRP ETF applications from firms like Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, 21Shares, and Franklin have surfaced on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) active and pre-launch roster. The DTCC listing indicates readiness for processing, pending regulatory approval. The potential for launch hinges on the SEC's return to full function and the use of the Securities Act of 1933's Section 8(a), which allows filings to become effective automatically after 20 days if the SEC doesn't intervene. Some issuers have removed delaying amendments to potentially expedite this process. XRP was trading at $2.48 at the time of this report.

The Arbitrum (ARB) token is showing positive signs, potentially indicating a price increase. After falling to a low of $0.30, it has since risen by 27%, suggesting investors are buying it up. This is happening as Bitcoin's dominance decreases, potentially leading investors to seek other crypto assets. Arbitrum's transaction speed is also notably fast compared to other similar Ethereum layer 2 solutions. Additionally, Robinhood recently added over 100 new tokenized assets to the Arbitrum network, increasing its total to over 6,444 assets worth over $8.2 million. Arbitrum's network activity also shows growth with October network fees reaching $4.1 million, the highest since July 2024, and DEX volume hitting a 10-month high at $29 billion. Net inflows were over $12 billion, a record high. However, the number of active user addresses decreased from 12 million in August to 8.1 million in October.

In the second week of November, XRP, Zcash (ZEC), and Starknet (STRK) are showing strong performance but also carry high liquidation risks for traders using leverage. XRP's potential spot ETF approval is fueling optimism, but a decline in new investors and a dropping MVRV ratio suggest a possible price correction; a drop to $2.10 could liquidate $340 million in long positions, while a rise to $2.75 could liquidate $69 million in short positions. Zcash's rally towards $1,000 has traders heavily invested in long positions, but a correction to $540 could liquidate $72 million in longs, while a surge to $760 could liquidate $44 million in shorts; analysts warn of a potential parabolic uptrend nearing its end. Starknet's 30% surge is encouraging, but a large token unlock of over 127 million STRK could add selling pressure; a drop to $0.128 could liquidate $14 million in long positions, while a break above $0.20 could liquidate $1.78 million in short positions.

XRP has surged by 12% in the last 24 hours, trading around $2.56, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. Market expert Ali Martinez suggests XRP could present a buying opportunity at $1.90 before potentially rallying to $6. If buying pressure persists, XRP could target $2.60 and $2.70 in the short term. Macroeconomic factors such as a potential $2,000 stimulus dividend, the end of the government shutdown, and expected Federal Reserve rate cuts are contributing to positive market sentiment. The anticipation of XRP ETFs, with filings from Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and CoinShares already listed on the DTCC platform, is also fueling XRP's momentum.

Starknet's STRK token has experienced a significant price surge recently, increasing over 100% this week and 350% over the past month, driven by the Stwo mainnet upgrade. Despite this rally, STRK remains down more than 90% from its all-time high earlier in 2024. The upgrade has helped Starknet maintain the second-highest net inflows behind Arbitrum. Starknet's fundamentals have been strengthened by the introduction of Bitcoin staking, which allows BTC holders to earn STRK rewards, leading to a substantial increase in total value locked. Other upgrades, like Grinta v0.14.0, and integrations with LayerZero, enhance efficiency, interoperability, and DeFi activity. For STRK to confirm a recovery, it needs to close the year above $0.63. If it fails to reach the target, the recovery will probably extend to H1 2026. Reaching $0.63 could lead to $1.36 in early 2026 and potentially a retest of the all-time high of $2.78.

The cryptocurrency XMR saw a price increase of 20%. A project using MPC-CMP technology for a DEX platform is mentioned. There's a reference to a token called BEST, currently priced around $0.025925, with projections suggesting a potential increase of 2,291% by 2026. The XMR price increase is linked to the removal of a transaction restriction which caused it to reach 412. It also made a move to potentially surpass 1,200. The BEST token is associated with a DEX platform. The BEST token has a current price of $0.025925, with staking rewards offering a 77% APY and over 4,300 users participating. Future token distribution strategies are outlined, aiming for a 40% allocation by 2026, followed by 35% and then 25%. Projections show a potential BEST token price target of $0.62 by 2026, representing a 2,291% increase. A potential BEST token price of $0.026035. The BEST token is trading on a DEX.

Reports surfaced in South Korean media about a potential acquisition of the crypto exchange Korbit by Bybit, a major global exchange known for derivative trading. Bybit and Korbit have not confirmed the reports or any ongoing talks. This news follows Binance's acquisition of GOPAX, another South Korean exchange. South Korean exchanges have recently experienced lower trading volumes as traders move to stocks, however the country is known for having clear regulations. Korbit, though a smaller exchange with around $21 million in trading volume, is a regulated platform and a potential entry point into the South Korean market for Bybit. Korbit reorganized after filing for bankruptcy in 2017, following two hacking events. NXC holds a 60.5% stake in Korbit, with another 31.5% stake belonging to SK. South Korean regulations prevent financial institutions from acquiring crypto businesses, leaving crypto firms as the only potential buyers. Bybit currently achieves over $24 billion in daily trading volumes.

The Bank of England has released a consultation paper proposing a regulatory framework for stablecoins deemed "systemic," which are those widely used in payments and posing a risk to UK financial stability as determined by HM Treasury. The exact definition of systemic stablecoins is debated, with interpretations ranging from any stablecoin used in the UK financial system to only GBP-backed stablecoins. The proposal includes a temporary holding limit of 20,000 per individual for systemic GBP-backed stablecoins, with a 10 million limit for businesses, designed to manage risks from large outflows of bank deposits as digital money adoption grows. The Bank of England may allow systemic stablecoin issuers to hold up to 60% of their backing assets in short-term UK government debt, and is also considering providing unremunerated accounts and central bank liquidity arrangements to assist systemic stablecoin issuers during times of volatility.

On November 10, 2025, IonQ filed with the SEC to allow the University of Chicago to resell over 2 million shares of its stock, following a registration rights agreement made three days prior.

The crypto market is showing positive signs, with Bitcoin stable and altcoins gaining attention. Investors are looking at projects with real utility, with Solana (SOL) being a key player in decentralized applications and NFTs. However, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is emerging as a challenger, focusing on decentralized lending and stablecoin innovation. Mutuum Finance's presale is in Phase 6, priced at $0.035, and has raised over $18.55 million with more than 17,900 holders combining all the phases. Approximately 87% of this phase's 170 million token supply is already sold. The next phase will see the price increase to $0.040, a 15% increase. Mutuum Finance offers Peer-to-Contract (P2C) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) lending models, along with stablecoin minting and mtToken staking for MUTM rewards. The platform includes features like variable and stable interest rate borrowing, and automated liquidations. The project is CertiK-audited and has community incentives like a bug bounty program and a $100,000 giveaway.

The Bank of England has announced it intends to implement temporary limits on the amount of stablecoins it will hold. This suggests the central bank is preparing for a future where stablecoins play a more significant role in the financial system, but it is proceeding cautiously by initially capping its exposure.

Uniswap's UNI token has experienced a significant surge, reaching a one-month high above $7 after gaining 12% in the last 24 hours. This increase is part of a broader market recovery, with other DeFi tokens like Pump.fun and Raydium also showing substantial gains. The rise in UNI's price is attributed to easing macroeconomic pressures and renewed investor interest. Trading volume for UNI has increased significantly, reflecting growing confidence in DeFi. Technical analysis suggests a potential for further gains, with short-term targets at $11.93 and $18.62, contingent on breaking through resistance at the 50-week exponential moving average of $8.17. However, a potential downside risk could see the price return to $4.65. Long-term forecasts for 2025 remain optimistic, with potential targets of $25 and $42.

Archer Aviation's stock price declined significantly after its Q3 earnings report, which showed a $129.9 million net loss on zero revenue. Despite raising $650 million in new equity, bringing their total liquidity above $2 billion, some investors are shifting their focus to competitor Joby Aviation. The investors believe Joby is further ahead in the FAA certification process and is already generating revenue. Archer's decision to purchase Hawthorne Municipal Airport for $126 million was also questioned, given that the company is pre-revenue. Wall Street analysts remain optimistic, with a Strong Buy rating and an average price target suggesting a substantial upside, despite the recent sell-off. Joby reported $22.6 million in revenue from Blade services during the third quarter, contrasting with Archer's zero revenue.

CoreWeave, an AI cloud provider, is set to release its third-quarter earnings report amidst investor concerns about AI spending and the company's rising capital expenditures. Revenue is expected to double year-over-year to $1.3 billion, but the company anticipates a loss of 36 cents per share. The stock experienced a 22% drop last week as investors questioned the balance between growth and spending. Operating margins are projected to decline to 14.3% due to increased infrastructure investments. A significant portion of CoreWeave's sales is attributed to Meta, Microsoft, and Alphabet, raising concerns about customer concentration. Analysts anticipate a doubling of recurring purchasing orders to $60 billion. The company's stock is down 30% since its second-quarter report, although still up significantly from its IPO. Investors will closely watch CoreWeave's backlog growth and ability to scale profitably.

Aster DEX, a decentralized exchange on the BNB chain, adjusted the tick size for its ARUSDT perpetual contract from 0.01 to 0.001, effective November 10, 2025. This change allows traders to place orders at finer price increments, potentially improving accuracy for short-term trading. This update coincides with the start of Stage 4 of Aster's Dawn program, called Aster Harvest, which introduces 1.5% of the total ASTER supply distributed over six weeks. Stage 4 also allows ASTER to be used as a margin asset and offers higher leverage on selected perpetuals, up to 300x. The ASTER token's price increased by 2.35% in the last 24 hours and 11.2% over the past week after Coinbase added it to their asset roadmap. Aster DEX's perpetual futures volumes reached approximately $11.94 billion, and spot trading accounted for $38.17 million in the last 24 hours.

Decred (DCR) experienced a price drop of 17% to $33.26 after a strong weekly rally that saw gains of over 60%. This decline is attributed to investors taking profits and concerns about potential regulations on anonymous crypto transactions. Despite the dip, which saw trading volume increase by over 100% to $92.9 million, analysts suggest that holding above the $32.54 support level is crucial for maintaining upward momentum. If DCR breaks past $35.42, it could target higher resistance levels at $38.93 and potentially $56.86. Long-term price targets remain optimistic, with some analysts suggesting a potential rise to $224.52. The current pullback is viewed as a cooling-off period, with investor sentiment remaining cautiously optimistic due to Decred's fundamentals and hybrid governance model.

Siddhant Awasthi, Tesla's Cybertruck and Model 3 program lead, has left the company after eight years. This comes as Cybertruck sales are struggling, with a 63% year-over-year drop in Q3 2025, totaling only 5,385 units sold in the US and about 16,000 year-to-date, a 38% decrease compared to last year. Despite this and a wave of executive departures including leaders from the Optimus, battery technology, and Dojo programs, Tesla stock rose 2.2% in premarket trading on Monday. The Cybertruck has faced 10 recalls in its first two years due to safety and quality concerns. Tesla did not respond to requests for comments regarding Awasthi's departure.

The company still has over $15.8 billion in Class A common stock available for future Bitcoin purchases.

European Central Bank Vice-President Luis de Guindos stated that the current key interest rates are appropriate given the current economic and inflation outlook. The ECB is comfortable with its current monetary policy but remains cautious and ready to act if conditions worsen or deviate from expectations. The main refinancing rate remains at 4.25%, the deposit rate at 3.75%, and the marginal lending rate at 4.50%. The ECB will only change interest rates if inflation doesn't move toward its 2% target or if the economy grows faster or slower than expected. The ECB is monitoring global risks such as trade conflicts and will rely on actual economic data to make informed decisions regarding interest rates at the December meeting, aiming for steady economic growth without encouraging excessive spending or slowing existing growth. The central bank is content to stay the course as inflation cools and the economy steadies while closely monitoring inflation readings and economic data.

Novo Nordisk's stock increased by 2.6% after the company withdrew its $10 billion bid for Metsera, an obesity drug developer, which Pfizer is now acquiring. Investors were reportedly relieved by this decision. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission had expressed concerns that Novo Nordisk's proposed acquisition of Metsera could violate antitrust laws. The structure of Novo Nordisk's offer, which included upfront cash payments for non-voting shares and full control only after regulatory approval, drew criticism. Separately, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, holding a 1.79% stake in Novo Nordisk, will abstain from voting at the company's shareholder meeting due to governance concerns about dual leadership roles within the company and its foundation. Novo Nordisk's shares have decreased by over 70% since June 2024 and are currently trading near their lowest levels since mid-2021.

Long-term Bitcoin holders, who have held their coins for 5-7 years, have been transferring their Bitcoin to the Binance exchange at a rate not seen since July. This activity has contributed to an 8% decrease in Bitcoin's price over the past week. Despite this, analysts believe this is a normal redistribution phase, not a major sell-off, and remain optimistic about Bitcoin's mid-term prospects. They note that inflows into wallets that permanently hold Bitcoin are increasing, and the realized price of long-term holders is around $78,520, suggesting institutions are still accumulating. Bitcoin's price is currently consolidating around $105,970, with key support at $104,900 and resistance between $108,000 and $112,000. Additionally, a potential government stimulus of $2,000 per American, similar to what happened during COVID, could significantly increase BTC's value in the coming weeks.

Centralized cryptocurrency exchanges saw a significant increase in spot trading volume during October, growing by 36% compared to the previous month.

Other exchanges like Bitfinex and Gate also saw substantial increases in spot trading. This shift towards spot trading coincided with increased traffic to exchanges like Gate, Bitfinex, and Upbit. Decentralized exchanges also experienced growth, with total activity exceeding $614 billion in October. Solana's DEX volume surpassed Ethereum's during this period. Overall, the increased activity on both centralized and decentralized exchanges indicates strong internal activity within the crypto market, supported by a large supply of stablecoins.

Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) reported a net loss of approximately $54.8 million for the last quarter, partly due to write-downs related to its Bitcoin holdings. The company holds over 11,500 BTC, valued at over $1.3 billion as of September 30, 2025. While TMTG also reported about $15.3 million in income from Bitcoin-related option premiums, it wasn't enough to offset losses from Bitcoin revaluations. The company views Bitcoin as a means to diversify its treasury, but its significant Bitcoin position heavily influences its financial performance due to the relatively small revenue stream. The exact purchase dates and prices of the Bitcoin holdings are not fully disclosed, creating uncertainty about the nature of the losses. The company has reportedly used portions of its Bitcoin holdings in financing arrangements, which presents risk. Despite these challenges, the CEO maintains an optimistic outlook on the company's growth and strengthened financial position.

Monday.com's stock (MNDY) experienced a significant drop despite strong Q3 2025 earnings. The company reported revenue of $316.9 million, a 26% increase year-over-year, and earnings per share of $1.16, both exceeding analyst expectations. Non-GAAP operating income reached $47.5 million. However, the stock price fell 19% in premarket trading due to Q4 revenue guidance of $328-$330 million, which was below the analyst consensus of $333.8 million. For the full year 2025, the company maintained its revenue forecast at $1.23 billion and expects adjusted free cash flow between $330-$334 million. The company highlighted its upmarket strategy and new product contributions, with Monday campaigns contributing over 10% of total annual recurring revenue.

Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, is reportedly in talks to acquire Korbit, South Korea's fourth-largest exchange. This move is aimed at expanding Bybit's presence in the South Korean crypto market. The acquisition discussions follow a recent policy change by South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), which has opened the door for foreign exchanges to own domestic platforms. Korbit is primarily owned by NXC (60.5%) and SK Planet (31.5%). Bybit might begin by purchasing SK Planet's stake before seeking full ownership. While neither company has confirmed the deal publicly, meetings between Bybit and Korbit's management have reportedly taken place.

A spyware campaign named LANDFALL has been discovered targeting Samsung Galaxy phones through WhatsApp images. The attackers exploited a security flaw (CVE-2025-21042) in Samsung's image processing software, allowing them to install malware without user interaction. This malware steals data like photos, contacts, call logs, and messages, and can activate the phone's microphone and track location. Affected models include the S22, S23, S24, and Z series running Android versions 13, 14, and 15. The vulnerability was patched in April 2025, but before then, hackers used malformed image files sent via WhatsApp to install the spyware. WhatsApp reported a related vulnerability (CVE-2025-21043) to Samsung and advised users to be cautious of suspicious messages. Cybersecurity experts are urging Samsung Galaxy users to install the April 2025 security update immediately. Google has also released updates to address related security flaws in Chrome.

Robinhood is launching a new fund, Robinhood Ventures Fund I, that will allow regular investors to invest in private AI companies, similar to OpenAI and Anthropic. This fund is a closed-end fund, meaning investors will have limited options to sell their shares, requiring a long-term investment. Despite Robinhood's Q3 revenue doubling to $1.27 billion, the stock price fell 11% due to crypto revenue missing expectations, earnings being partly boosted by a lower tax rate, and increased expense projections for 2025. Analysts have raised price targets by an average of 13%, suggesting a potential buying opportunity. Robinhood's diversification into multiple business lines is helping reduce its reliance on crypto revenue, and the company is expanding into prediction markets and private equity investments. Despite the risks of investing in illiquid startups, Robinhood is betting that retail investors are interested in accessing the private AI market.

Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) is planning to increase regulation of companies that provide operational management systems to cryptocurrency exchanges. This will involve a new system requiring these third-party providers to give prior notification to the FSA before providing services. The proposal was discussed on November 7 by a working group under the Financial System Council and aims to enhance the oversight of these companies that handle exchange operations.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's 2025 compensation package, potentially worth up to $1 trillion over ten years, by a margin of more than three to one. The deal grants Musk 400 million Tesla shares if he meets performance targets, including Tesla generating $400 million in EBITDA over a 12-month period. Analysts anticipate Tesla's 2025 EBITDA will be approximately $13 billion. This package aims to restore Musk's Tesla ownership to 25%. It follows a Delaware judge voiding his 2018 pay package, and combined with previous awards, Musk's total compensation could exceed $150 billion. The approval signifies confidence in Musk's vision for Tesla's evolution from an automaker to an AI and robotics company, with some estimating his potential daily earnings from the deal at $385 million if milestones are met.

Zcash (ZEC) has seen a significant price increase of 790% since October, making it the top-performing cryptocurrency in the last 90 days and is trading at $627. Some analysts believe this surge is driven by endorsements from Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) like Arthur Hayes and Ansem, potentially creating a price bubble. Concerns exist regarding the sustainability of this parabolic price increase, with many traders betting against further gains. Prediction markets show decreased confidence in ZEC reaching $1,000 by December. However, others argue that strong fundamentals, such as Zcash's focus on privacy and its zero-knowledge architecture, along with integrations such as the Zashi wallet and Solana, are driving the rally. Renewed attention from high-profile figures and the coin's Bitcoin-like tokenomics have also contributed to the positive price action. Forecasts suggesting ZEC could reach $1,000 in 2025 add to the bullish sentiment, while the market remains divided on whether Zcash will sustain its gains or face a correction.

A well-known crypto analyst has provided an explanation for XRP's price stability while many other cryptocurrencies have significantly decreased in value. The overall cryptocurrency market has experienced a period of increased price swings, with many major cryptocurrencies declining sharply at the beginning of November.
