JPMorgan plans to launch Bitcoin-backed notes in December 2025 that will amplify Bitcoin's gains or losses by 1.5 times. This has sparked controversy within the Bitcoin community, with some accusing JPMorgan of trying to destabilize crypto treasury firms like Strategy. Critics believe the new product could trigger margin calls on Bitcoin-backed loans held by these companies. JPMorgan also supported a proposed MSCI policy that could exclude companies with significant crypto holdings from stock indexes, potentially forcing them to sell Bitcoin to remain eligible for inclusion. In response, Bitcoin supporters are calling for account closures and a boycott of JPMorgan.

EU member states have agreed on a revised version of the Chat Control legislation, affecting 450 million Europeans using digital communication services. The new agreement removes mandatory message scanning, but privacy experts are still concerned about the potential for mass surveillance. Platforms can voluntarily scan for illegal content, and companies deemed high-risk may be pressured to monitor user communications. Concerns exist about technical problems leading to false alarms, potentially impacting innocent people. The legislation allows for review clauses that could reintroduce mandatory scanning in the future. This also could lead to requirements for age verification for digital services, potentially ending anonymous communication. Cryptocurrency exchanges like Kraken and Binance have already removed privacy coins from European markets due to regulatory pressure. The legislation will now undergo trilogue negotiations between EU member states, the European Parliament, and the European Commission to determine the final framework.

Bitwise has updated its SEC filing to include staking in its proposed Avalanche (AVAX) ETF, making it the first issuer to do so. The fund, to be traded under the ticker BAVA on NYSE Arca, aims for Q1 2026 approval. Bitwise is offering a sponsor fee of 0.34%, lower than competitors VanEck (0.40%) and Grayscale (0.50%). BAVA will stake up to 70% of its AVAX holdings, passing staking rewards (minus a 12% cut) back to shareholders. Bitwise is waiving all sponsor fees for the first month on the initial $500 million of inflows, making it the lowest-cost entry point. Other proposed Avalanche ETFs from Grayscale and VanEck are targeting the NASDAQ, also aiming for Q1 2026 approval.

XRP is experiencing selling pressure amidst a general downturn in the crypto market, but there's also increased institutional interest with the launch of US spot XRP ETFs. XRP reserves on the Binance exchange have significantly decreased since October, reaching some of their lowest levels at approximately 2.7 billion XRP. This suggests investors are moving their XRP off exchanges, likely into personal wallets for longer-term holding rather than short-term trading. About 300 million XRP have left Binance since October 6. Lower exchange reserves combined with new ETFs could lead to a shift in XRP's market momentum. XRP's price is struggling to stabilize around the $2 level, facing resistance from key moving averages indicating sellers remain in control.

The amount of XRP held on the Binance exchange has significantly decreased, dropping to 2.7 billion tokens, one of the lowest levels ever. Since October 6th, over 300 million XRP tokens, worth around $651 million, have been taken off the exchange. This decrease suggests that people are buying and holding XRP for the long term rather than trading it. This trend coincides with the launch of new XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) from companies like Canary Capital and Grayscale, which allow institutions to invest in XRP more easily. Some analysts believe that if this buying and holding trend continues, it could potentially increase the price of XRP due to reduced availability on exchanges.

Solana ETFs experienced their first day of net outflows, totaling $8.1 million, ending a 21-day streak of inflows. This was primarily driven by a $34 million withdrawal from the 21Shares TSOL fund. Despite this setback, other Solana ETFs, like the Bitwise BSOL, Grayscale, and Fidelity's FSOL, saw inflows, partially offsetting TSOL's outflow. Overall, Solana ETFs hold about 6.83 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $964 million. While Solana's network activity shows declines in active addresses and fees, Solana ETFs still experienced a weekly net addition of $103 million. Meanwhile, XRP ETFs continued their inflow streak, adding $21 million, and Bitcoin ETFs saw $21.12 million in inflows. Ethereum ETFs, however, experienced net outflows for November.

TON is currently holding near the $1.60 level, with funding rates turning positive, indicating a potential shift towards bullish sentiment among traders. This follows a period of selling pressure and aligns with a broader, albeit slow, recovery in the crypto market led by Bitcoin and Ethereum. While TON's price movement has been less pronounced compared to these major assets, the positive funding rates suggest some traders believe a bottom may be forming. Additionally, Telegram has launched tokenized stock trading within TON wallets, allowing users to trade U.S. equities, which expands the network's utility.

Dogwifhat (WIF) is currently priced around $0.38, showing a slight increase of 4.26% over the last day. However, it's stuck in a tight trading range between $0.36 and $0.40. Traders are waiting to see if it breaks out above $0.40, which could signal a bullish trend, or falls below $0.36, which could lead to further price drops. Trading volume has increased to $165 million, suggesting more activity, but not enough to push the price out of its current range. The total supply of WIF tokens is about 998.9 million, and it's ranked 192nd globally. Despite some positive signs, the overall trend is still considered downward, and it needs more buying pressure to potentially reverse this trend.

Balancer DAO is considering a recovery plan worth $8 million following a recent security exploit that resulted in a loss of $110 million. This exploit significantly impacted Balancer, reducing its Total Value Locked (TVL) by approximately two-thirds. The recovery plan aims to address the aftermath of the exploit and potentially restore confidence in the platform.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, anticipates a significant rally in altcoins like ADA, ETH, and XRP within the next 3 to 6 months, projecting new all-time highs. He attributes Bitcoin's surge past $100,000 to institutional investment focused initially on Bitcoin ETFs, while altcoins lagged due to regulatory uncertainties. Hoskinson believes this is temporary, expecting regulatory clarity, demographic expansion, and increasing capital inflows to shift focus towards altcoins. He highlights the growing crypto user base, exceeding 550 million and potentially reaching 1 billion, and the increasing stablecoin market, possibly reaching $1 trillion, as key drivers for the next market expansion. Tokenized real-world assets could bring trillions more into the crypto space, further supporting altcoin performance.

BlackRock has not filed for an XRP ETF. BlackRock's Global Head of Digital Assets, Robbie Mitchnick, previously worked at Ripple, fueling speculation. BlackRock states client demand hasn't met its internal threshold. Analysts believe the delay is strategic, citing incomplete regulatory clarity for XRP in the U.S., despite a court ruling that it is not a security in secondary sales. BlackRock also evaluates market size, liquidity, and institutional investment potential, and while XRP has high market capitalization, U.S. institutional involvement is still developing. BlackRock typically waits for favorable regulatory and market conditions before launching products. The company has internal understanding of XRP and Ripple, suggesting a future ETF is possible depending on regulations and market readiness.

Ethereum traders are increasingly using leverage, as shown by the futures-to-spot ratio rising to 6.84, which is the highest level in Q4. This signals a greater expectation of price swings. While Bitcoin's open interest has decreased, Ethereum's has remained relatively stable, suggesting investors are shifting their focus to Ethereum. If Ethereum can hold above $3,000, the next target for buyers is around $3,390, a level considered key to confirming further upward movement. Some analysts believe Ethereum looks strong and could reach that level, while others remain cautious, noting previous rejections at a key moving average. A break above $3,000 is needed to confirm a move upward. Others note that Ethereum retraced 61.8% from the 2025 rally, and that the environment is right for a push up in December.

Approximately $13 billion worth of Bitcoin options, representing 150,000 BTC, are expiring on Friday. The "max pain point" for these options is $101,000, with a put/call ratio of 0.61. Simultaneously, there's an increase in Bitcoin deposits into exchanges from large holders, potentially signaling an intent to sell and exert downward pressure on the price, possibly hindering recovery. However, BitMex founder Arthur Hayes suggests Bitcoin may have already found a bottom near $80,000, citing improved liquidity conditions due to the end of the Federal Reserve's Quantitative Tightening and expanded bank lending. Despite whale outflows, Bitcoin has shown recovery signs, reclaiming the $90,000 level, indicating potential accumulation at lower prices, though uncertainty persists regarding the sustainability of this recovery in the face of the impending options expiry.

Visa is expanding its stablecoin payment capabilities to Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA) through a new partnership with Aquanow. This allows financial institutions in these regions to use USD Coin (USDC) for faster and cheaper transaction settlements, operating 24/7 instead of traditional wire transfers that can take days. Visa's stablecoin transaction volume has reached an annualized rate of $2.5 billion. Visa has also added support for new stablecoins like PayPal USD, Global Dollar, and euro-backed EURC, along with the Stellar and Avalanche blockchain networks. Aquanow, a crypto infrastructure firm, will provide the technology to connect Visa's network with stablecoins, serving over 300 clients in 50 countries and processing billions in crypto transactions monthly. The stablecoin market has grown to over $305 billion in 2025, attracting interest from major companies and banks. This expansion occurs as regulations for digital currencies are becoming clearer, such as Europe's MiCA regulation and the US's GENIUS Act.

The Chainlink Reserve, a system that automatically converts revenue into LINK tokens, is approaching one million LINK. It currently holds over 973,700 LINK after accumulating for three consecutive months. This reserve grows through revenue from enterprise users and on-chain service fees, which are then used to purchase LINK on decentralized exchanges and lock them up for several years. The continued growth suggests increasing usage of Chainlink's services by both businesses and on-chain protocols. This system is designed to promote long-term stability and reduce the circulating supply of LINK by storing tokens for an extended period.

A crypto analyst known as 24HRSCRYPTO predicts that XRP will reach $100 before Bitcoin reaches $1 million. This prediction contrasts with forecasts from figures like Michael Saylor, who anticipate Bitcoin reaching valuations in the millions. Based on current prices, XRP needs a 4,445% increase to hit $100, while Bitcoin needs a 990% increase to reach $1 million. The analyst believes XRP's price is positioned for faster growth due to increasing demand and adoption of the Ripple ecosystem. The analyst further predicts that XRP could reach $1,000 before Bitcoin reaches $19 million. This would require a 45,300% jump for XRP, while Bitcoin would need to climb roughly 20,635% to reach $19 million.

A wealth manager at Fidelity believes the recent Bitcoin price drop, which saw it decline by 11.8% over two weeks, is a positive development. He views this "crash" as a necessary correction to remove excessive speculation and leverage from the market, which had been driven by rapid gains in various risk assets including meme stocks and unprofitable tech companies. This correction aligns Bitcoin's price more closely with its actual adoption and utility, creating a healthier and more stable market foundation for future growth. The pullback helps to eliminate market distortions and encourages disciplined capital allocation, ultimately benefiting Bitcoin's long-term investment profile.

Reliance Industries, Brookfield Asset Management, and Digital Realty Trust, operating under the joint venture Digital Connexion, plan to invest $11 billion in India by 2030 to build AI-focused data centers. A major part of this investment will be a 1-gigawatt campus in Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. This project is part of a larger trend of tech companies investing in India's data center infrastructure, with total investments projected to exceed $100 billion by 2027. Other companies like Google, OpenAI, Amazon, and Tata Consultancy Services are also investing heavily in Indian data centers. This expansion aims to support the increasing demand for AI computing power. However, the growth of data centers is creating challenges related to water and energy consumption in India. Investment of $720 billion is estimated to increase power capacity to support data centers by 2030. Andhra Pradesh aims to become a technology hub through these investments, expecting to create jobs in various sectors.

Hyperliquid's price, trading around $35-$36, is showing potential signs of recovery after a recent drop from the mid-$40s. Analysts are closely watching the $35.8 level; breaking above it could lead to a price target of $42.3, while failing to hold above the low $30s could signal further decline. Order book data indicates increased buying activity between $35 and $36.5, suggesting possible accumulation. Whether Hyperliquid can reach $50 in 2025 depends on its performance around the current price range and the overall market's interest in alternative cryptocurrencies.

Kaspa's price increased by over 20% in the last 24 hours, and over 43% in the last seven days. This surge is attributed to large investors, known as whales, buying up significant amounts of Kaspa during a recent market downturn. The broader cryptocurrency market is also showing strength, with Bitcoin rising, which positively influences Kaspa. Furthermore, there is increasing expectation that the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates as early as December, which is generally favorable for crypto assets. However, the article notes that the market could be volatile due to the holiday season, and Kaspa's price is still affected by Bitcoin's movements, so the rally may not last.

The South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit experienced a security breach resulting in the theft of approximately $32 million worth of Solana-based tokens. Following the hack, Upbit suspended deposits and withdrawals. This disruption caused a significant price surge in Solana tokens on the exchange, as arbitrage bots, which normally equalize prices between Korean and international markets, were unable to operate. This led to Korean traders bidding up the prices of tokens like ORCA, Meteora, and Raydium to substantial premiums compared to their global prices. Upbit has pledged to cover all losses from its own reserves and is conducting a comprehensive security review before resuming normal operations. The exchange has frozen some of the stolen assets and is working with law enforcement to track the remaining funds. Upbit emphasized that only a hot wallet was affected and customer funds in cold storage remain secure, though details of the breach are still under investigation.

Chainlink's price is showing signs of a potential upward trend after bouncing from the $12 support level. It's currently trading around $13.48, up about 2.88%, and has stabilized above $13.30. Analysts are observing a compression pattern, where the price volatility has decreased. Chainlink has repeatedly bounced from the $12-$14 area, which suggests strong buyer interest. If Chainlink breaks above a key downtrend line, traders are eyeing potential price targets of $28-$32, and further up to $58. On a shorter timeframe, there's a falling wedge pattern, and a break above the $13.30 level could lead to a move towards $15-$17. Maintaining the current levels above $13.30 suggests continued buying interest.

LeveX is a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that launched in 2023, offering spot and perpetual futures trading on numerous cryptocurrencies. It distinguishes itself through a community-focused approach, integrating a social feed for traders to share strategies and learn from experienced peers. Features include trading tournaments, educational content, and a creator system providing market analysis. LeveX offers competitive trading fees with maker fees potentially as low as 0.0060% under their VIP program, transparent operations with proof-of-reserves, and advanced trading tools. A notable feature is the multi-trade system, allowing traders to hold multiple independent positions on the same trading pair with varying leverage and risk settings.

An analyst suggests Bitcoin could potentially decrease to $88,000 before rising to $100,000.

Solana ETFs experienced their first day of net outflows, totaling $8.1 million, ending a 21-day streak of inflows. This was largely due to significant outflows from the 21Shares Solana ETF (TSOL). However, other Solana ETFs, like the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) and the Grayscale Solana Trust, saw continued inflows. Despite the single day outflow, Solana ETFs still ended the week with nearly $103 million in net inflows, bringing cumulative inflows to $613.22 million. Solana ETFs currently hold about 6.83 million SOL tokens, valued at approximately $964 million. In contrast, XRP ETFs continue to see inflows, while Dogecoin ETF performance has been weaker than expected. Bitcoin ETFs also saw modest inflows, while Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows. Analysts noted that the Solana outflow coincided with a decrease in active Solana addresses and network fees.

Max Keiser suggests Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high due to Nasdaq's filing for options trading on BlackRock's IBIT Bitcoin ETF. The potential for options trading on IBIT is viewed as a positive catalyst that could drive increased interest and investment in Bitcoin, leading to a possible price surge. The filing indicates institutional adoption and maturity of Bitcoin as an investment asset.

The Bank of Russia reports that Russian households have invested approximately 3.7 billion rubles (around $47.3 million) in cryptocurrency derivatives. While the investment is growing, the central bank believes it currently poses no significant risk to the country's financial system because most investors have small portfolios, with the majority of the investment volume originating from a smaller number of large participants. A portion of this investment includes Russian bonds linked to the value of digital assets, totaling 1.6 billion rubles as of early October. Private individuals' investments in crypto-linked futures on the Moscow Exchange are also considered minimal, with net positions reaching 2.1 billion rubles. The Bank of Russia has been gradually opening up to crypto investments, with measures like experimental legal regimes for cryptocurrency transactions and allowing qualified investors access to crypto derivatives. However, the volume of transactions by Russian citizens on foreign crypto exchanges decreased by 18% in the second and third quarters of 2025, with the average monthly balance of Russians' funds decreasing by 20% to 933 billion rubles.

The cryptocurrency XRP is potentially heading towards a price of $3 due to Ripple's increased activity in the Middle East. This expansion is seen as a major development that could significantly impact XRP's value.

Toncoin is not increasing in value as quickly as other cryptocurrencies are right now. Data from the derivatives market, where investors make bets on the future price of assets, suggests there's some optimism about Toncoin, but it's cautious. This means that while some investors are expecting Toncoin to go up, they aren't as confident as they are about other cryptocurrencies that are currently rebounding more strongly.

Large investors, known as whales, are increasingly buying Ethereum (ETH) and Cardano (ADA), while smaller retail investors are not keeping pace. This trend is indicated by a metric called the Whale vs Retail Delta. Ethereum has recovered to around $3,026 after a recent dip, with wallets holding large amounts of ETH showing record levels of accumulation, suggesting strong confidence from big players. One notable whale even increased their ETH long position by $10 million. Meanwhile, Cardano's price rebounded to $0.431 after a temporary disruption caused by a bug, although both ETH and ADA are still significantly down over the past month.

Alt5 Sigma, a company with ties to the Trump family, has removed several top executives following the suspension of its CEO. The leadership shake-up has occurred after unspecified events that led to the CEO's temporary removal from their position. The company has not released specific details regarding the reasons for the CEO's suspension or the subsequent dismissal of the other executives but this signals significant internal changes at the firm.

A malicious Chrome extension called Crypto Copilot has been stealing small amounts of Solana from traders since June 18, 2024. Discovered by Socket security researchers on November 25, 2024, the extension masquerades as a trading tool, allowing users to buy and sell Solana tokens from Twitter. However, for every transaction made through the extension, it secretly adds an extra transaction, sending either a minimum of 0.0013 SOL or 0.05% of the trade amount (whichever is larger) to the attacker's wallet: Bjeida13AjgPaUEU9xrh1iQMwxZC7QDdvSfg73oxQff7. The extension uses sophisticated hiding techniques, making it difficult for users to detect the theft. This issue highlights the growing problem of malicious cryptocurrency extensions, with previous incidents including extensions draining entire wallets. Users are advised to review transaction details, only install extensions from verified developers, and move cryptocurrency to a new wallet if they've installed Crypto Copilot. The extension, published by sjclark76, had only 15-18 users and a one-star rating. Google has been notified, but the extension remained available as of late November 2024.

Spot Solana ETFs experienced their first day of net withdrawals since their initial launch. This breaks a period of consistent inflows into these investment products, marking a shift in investor behavior. The exact amount withdrawn and the specific reasons for the change are not detailed, but the end of the inflow streak is a notable event in the short history of these Solana ETFs and indicates a potential change in sentiment or strategy among investors holding these products.

Solana's price is currently around $142.92 and attempting to break through resistance in the $144-$145 range, a level it has struggled with recently. Analysts are observing signs that it may be preparing for a breakout. If Solana successfully surpasses this resistance, the next target is the $152-$155 area. There are indications that investors may be capitulating, which has historically preceded price recoveries for Solana. Additionally, analysts point to Solana reclaiming key levels on higher timeframes, suggesting a potential move towards $168-$176. Key support levels to watch are $137-$138, $132-$134, and $126-$128, while resistance lies at $144-$145, $151-$155, and $166-$176. A successful break above $145 is considered a key signal for further upward movement.

Nasdaq is seeking SEC approval to raise the options position limit for BlackRock's IBIT (iShares Bitcoin Trust) from 250,000 contracts to 1 million contracts, and to remove position limits for physically settled FLEX IBIT options. This move would place IBIT in the same risk tier as highly liquid, large-cap ETFs. The proposal is based on IBIT's market capitalization, liquidity, and trading volume. The SEC must review and approve or reject the proposal before the change takes effect. BTC traded at $91,700 at press time.

Solana's price has remained stable around $140 despite a $37 million hack on the Upbit exchange, where Solana and Solana-based tokens were stolen. Upbit has halted deposits and withdrawals and plans to reimburse affected users. This stability is also happening as Franklin Templeton, a large investment firm, has filed paperwork with the SEC to create a Solana ETF, which would allow investors to invest in Solana without directly owning it. Analysts point to key resistance levels between $142-$145, with a potential rise to $165 or higher if broken, but a drop below $143 could send Solana lower. The Solana ecosystem showed resilience, with memecoins showing little impact and traders actively defending key support levels.

Arbitrum (ARB) is showing signs of stabilizing around $0.21-$0.22 after a price decline. Analysts are watching to see if it can break above $0.25, which could signal a recovery. If it fails to hold above $0.20, it could drop further to $0.18 or $0.16. Despite the price weakness, Arbitrum is leading in DeFi bridge inflows with $26.9 billion over the last three months. A break above $0.28 would confirm a bullish trend, while holding the $0.20 support is crucial. The next few days will determine if a recovery phase can begin. The current price of Arbitrum is $0.22, up 1.03% in the last 24 hours.

An analyst predicts a significant upswing, or 'AltSeason,' for several cryptocurrencies including Ether, XRP, Cardano, Solana, and Shiba Inu. This positive market movement is projected to occur in 2026.

The French competition authority, Autorit de la Concurrence, dismissed an antitrust complaint filed by the French search engine Qwant against Microsoft on November 27, 2025. Qwant accused Microsoft of abusing its dominant position by imposing exclusive restrictions, limiting Qwant's ability to offer independent search results and advertising. The regulator stated that Qwant failed to provide sufficient evidence to support these claims, including demonstrating Microsoft's dominant position or the lack of viable alternatives for Qwant. Qwant had alleged that Microsoft's practices, such as requiring Qwant to use both Microsoft's search results and advertising tools, hindered its ability to develop its own search engine and AI tools. Microsoft reaffirmed its commitment to providing quality search services and fostering innovation in Europe. This decision comes after Microsoft reached a compromise with the EU in September 2025 regarding similar competition concerns, where Microsoft agreed to make Teams optional in its Microsoft 365/Office suites.

The crypto market is showing signs of recovery after a significant sell-off in November, with Bitcoin reclaiming the $91,000 level and Ethereum rising above $3,000. Market sentiment is improving, as indicated by the Fear and Greed Index rising from 11 to 22 and the average crypto RSI increasing from 38.5 to 58.3. Momentum has also shifted, with the MACD turning positive for the first time since early November and a majority of cryptocurrencies showing positive trend momentum. The market capitalization has grown to $3.21 trillion, up 1.1% in the last 24 hours. This recovery pattern resembles the post-Thanksgiving conditions of 2022 and 2023, where selling pressure eased and the market stabilized or rallied into December. Market makers have been impacted by recent liquidations, leading to weakened market depth, but on-chain data suggests users prefer borrowing against Bitcoin rather than selling it, which helps stabilize prices. Depending on the Federal Reserve's stance and Bitcoin ETF flows, December could bring either a sideways consolidation or a sharp rally.

Stellar (XLM) is currently priced at $0.26, with a market capitalization of $8.33 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $208.5 million. It has shown a short-term uptrend, rising from $0.22, with buyers demonstrating renewed interest. Open interest, reflecting trader activity, increased during the price rise but has since stabilized as the price consolidated. However, the daily chart indicates a persistent broader downtrend, with the price struggling to break past the $0.30 resistance level. Technical indicators like the MACD suggest negative momentum, and the Chaikin Money Flow shows minimal capital inflow, indicating that despite intraday gains, the overall market structure remains weak.

The article suggests that the price of XRP might increase because its reserves are decreasing. The core idea is that a reduction in the available supply of XRP could lead to higher demand and potentially drive the price up. The article focuses on the potential correlation between dwindling XRP reserves and a future price rally.

Bitcoin's price increased by over 5% on Thanksgiving, driving positive sentiment in the crypto market. This rise is attributed to growing expectations of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December and a rally in the US stock market. Bitcoin's trading volume also increased significantly. Analysts suggest that if Bitcoin surpasses the $94,000 resistance level, it could potentially reach $100,000; however, failure to maintain support could lead to a decline to $88,000. Additionally, positive inflows into US Spot Bitcoin ETFs may be contributing to the price increase.

Dogecoin's price is currently around $0.15, with traders anticipating a potential upward price movement.

Bitcoin's price has jumped above $90,000, recovering from a previous low of $80,000. Traders on Kalshi are betting there's a 60% chance it will reach $100,000 by the end of the year. This surge is partly due to speculation that President Trump may announce a more lenient Federal Reserve chair before Christmas, potentially leading to interest rate cuts. However, there are concerns about credit risk in AI-related tech and continuous outflows from crypto ETFs. Tom Lee reduced his Bitcoin price forecast from $250,000 to above $100,000, noting the impact of a previous crash. Stablecoin issuer Tether is now a major gold holder. Analysis suggests significant Bitcoin buying activity and liquidity around the $85,000-$86,000 level. To reach $100,000, Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $93,000-$94,000 zone. The coin faces immediate resistance at $92,000-$94,000. A new project, BTC Hyper, aims to improve Bitcoin's scalability using Solana Virtual Machine. Its presale has raised over $28 million, and staking offers up to 40% APY.

Bitcoin's price is currently around $91,700, a roughly 3% increase over the last day. While this upward movement has alleviated some market stress, the market's underlying strength is still in question. Traders are watching for signs of increased market depth, reflected in thicker order books, tighter spreads, and neutral funding rates. Monitoring stablecoin issuance and exchange balances helps determine if price increases are due to new cash entering the market or just short covering. Bitcoin's price movements are also being influenced by the direction of spot Bitcoin and ETF flows, along with broader economic conditions. A stronger dollar or tighter financial conditions can negatively impact risk appetite, while easing rates can stabilize the market. Despite the recent price increase, the market remains susceptible to negative news events that could quickly reverse the gains. Overall, while the market has improved, its long-term trend is still uncertain and depends on sustained improvements in liquidity, funding, and cash inflows.

NYSE Arca has filed an application for an ETF that will actively manage a basket of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu. The ETF aims to adjust its holdings based on market conditions and will use reference-rate pricing from various trading platforms to determine daily values. The fund will employ a creation and redemption model allowing authorized firms to deliver crypto or cash as flows change. A custodian will store all assets, including Shiba Inu, in offline, regulated systems for security. The filing also details surveillance and risk-control tools to ensure oversight and compliance with exchange standards. The ETF may use USDC to support liquidity. NYSE Arca is also seeking approval to list the T. Rowe Price Active Crypto ETF.

A recent study by Bubblemaps found that 50% of newly launched bundled meme tokens, which give unfair advantages to their creators, are linked to X (formerly Twitter) accounts based in the USA. These bundled tokens are often viewed with suspicion due to the lack of limits on their creation. While a few originated in the EU and India, the majority are concentrated in regions with high Solana network usage and reflect trends from English-speaking social media. These tokens tend to have short lifespans, with many experiencing rug pulls (sudden project abandonment by developers) within 24 hours of launch. Although new meme tokens continue to emerge, they are generally underperforming, and retail traders are increasingly wary of rug pulls, shifting their focus to perpetual futures trading instead.

The crypto market is seeing Ethereum hold steady supported by ETF inflows, while Pepe struggles to gain momentum and shows weakness. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is launching daily presale auctions of 200 million tokens using an Initial Coin Auction (ICA) system, where the token price is determined by demand every 24 hours, with participants able to use ETH, USDC, or BNB and a daily limit of $50,000 per wallet. ZKP also has physical Proof Pod devices, starting at $249, which validate zero-knowledge proofs and earn rewards, with level 1 Pods earning approximately $1 daily. The final token price from the daily auction impacts the next day's Proof Pod earnings, creating a transparent link between market demand and rewards.

RedStone projects that the market for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) will reach $50-60 billion by 2026. This market has already seen significant growth, increasing from $5 billion at the end of 2023 to over $35 billion currently. The largest segment of the RWA market is currently private credit, valued at approximately $19 billion, and is expected to continue to hold almost half of the RWA market next year. Tokenized equities are expected to grow the fastest when there is regulatory clarity in the US which is expected in mid-2026. Tokenized Treasuries, including BlackRock's $2.5 billion BUIDL fund which are currently $8.4 billion, are also expected to see strong growth.

The cryptocurrency market is showing mixed signals. Toncoin price is experiencing uncertainty, trading around $1.50 and remaining below key moving averages, with forecasts indicating potential further declines in the short to medium term. Conversely, the XLM Stellar price is approaching a potential breakout point near $0.256, driven by increased network activity and a Total Value Locked of $169.3 million; a break above this resistance could lead to a target of $0.292. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) has launched its presale auction, allowing the market to determine the coin's value. Participants can use ETH, USDC, or ZUSD to acquire ZKP coins. The auction features a daily pool of 200 million coins and a $50,000 per-wallet cap. ZKP has partnered with FC Barcelona and the Dolphins, which has put ZKP in the spotlight.

Crypto analyst NoLimit has predicted potential price peaks for several cryptocurrencies by 2029. These predictions include Bitcoin at $190,000, Ethereum at $4,800, XRP at $10, Solana at $600, Dogecoin at $0.75, Cardano at $1.10, Monero at $750, Sui at $25, BNB at $1,800, and Kaspa at $0.50. The analyst did not specify the reasoning behind these targets. The projected XRP price would represent a substantial increase from its current level, while Solana's target is well above its all-time high. Dogecoin's target is only slightly above its all-time high. The broader crypto market has recently experienced some pressure, but some recovery has been noted in the last 48 hours.

Ethereum's price is currently around $3,030, showing positive signs due to recent inflows into Ethereum ETFs. Analysts are watching to see if this momentum can push the price towards a target of $6,000. Ethereum is trading above its short and medium-term moving averages, suggesting buyer strength. Some projections estimate Ethereum could reach $3,900-$4,000 by late 2025. A technical analyst notes Ethereum has broken out of a consolidation pattern, potentially leading to a move towards $6,000 if momentum continues. Short-term models suggest a possible 1-2% price move, provided support near $3,600 holds. The price of Ethereum could gradually work toward the $3,750-$3,800 range, assuming stable market conditions and continued ETF participation. By late November 2025, Ethereum is predicted to potentially reach the $3,850-$3,900 zone, given expanding decentralized finance, rising staking ratios, and ongoing ETF inflows. Current projections suggest Ethereum could trade between $3,980 and $4,100 in December 2025, absent major market disruptions. The upcoming Fusaka network upgrade is expected to improve network efficiency and scalability. Some long-term projections estimate Ethereum between $7,000 and $15,000 by the end of the decade, depending on adoption rates and market conditions. If Ethereum stays above its near-term support, it could gradually reach the $4,900-$5,200 area later in 2025. At press time, Ethereum was trading at around $3,039.39, up 4.52% in the last 24 hours.

WhiteBIT, a major European cryptocurrency exchange, has introduced a Partner Program aimed at businesses. This program allows companies to incorporate crypto services into their existing operations. WhiteBIT offers tools like Market Making Program, Crypto-as-a-Service, and Listing services to facilitate this integration, potentially creating new income opportunities for participating businesses and expanding access to cryptocurrency for their customers.

The article identifies three altcoins, Irys (IRYS), MYX Finance (MYX), and Monad (MON), as potential candidates for listing on Binance in December 2025. A Binance listing often leads to increased trading volume and attention for smaller cryptocurrencies. Irys, a layer-1 data chain, has seen a significant price jump after its perpetual contract went live on Binance and is listed on Coinbase. MYX Finance, a DEX project, is near the top of Binance's Alpha board with a relatively high market cap and is already available on other exchanges. Monad, a high-speed EVM-based chain, has broad spot coverage on multiple exchanges and Binance has converted its MON/USDT contract to a standard perpetual, suggesting it has enough external liquidity.

Bitcoin briefly recovered above $90,000 after a period of heavy selling, but caution remains due to ongoing speculation about a potential bear market. A key indicator, the Coinbase Premium Index, remains negative, suggesting that U.S. institutions are still selling Bitcoin more aggressively than retail investors. This selling pressure is linked to continuous outflows from spot Bitcoin ETFs. While institutional selling pressure has eased slightly since late November, the index remains negative, indicating that institutions are still net sellers, albeit at a reduced pace. Bitcoin's price is currently below its 50-day and 100-day moving averages, signaling short-term weakness, and needs to reclaim these levels to prevent further price declines. Despite higher selling volume during the recent decline, buyer interest is emerging at lower price levels, which could help rebuild bullish momentum if Bitcoin can maintain support above its 200-day moving average.

Bitcoin Capital has launched a BONK ETP (Exchange Traded Product) on the SIX Swiss Exchange, providing European investors with regulated access to the Solana-based meme coin. This allows investors unfamiliar with crypto exchanges to invest in BONK through a regulated investment vehicle. The ETP launch has led to a 3.5% price increase for BONK, outperforming the broader crypto market's 2.84% gain. Bitcoin Capital will lock the underlying BONK tokens, tightening the circulating supply which is expected to boost investor confidence. The launch indicates a growing trend of institutionalization of meme coins within traditional financial markets.

Kaspa's price is up roughly 40% this week, trading around $0.06, with over $100 million in daily trading volume, bringing attention back to proof-of-work projects. Simultaneously, privacy-focused cryptocurrencies are recovering, driven by the launch of GhostPay, a new anonymous payment system on the Solana network. GhostPay's debut caused GhostWareOS's token, GHOST, to increase in market capitalization from around $7 million to almost $10 million. GhostPay is a payment layer for Solana that allows for private transactions. Fees from GhostPay are distributed to GHOST token holders. Kaspa's upward movement is also helping to generate interest in smaller crypto projects, particularly those focused on privacy solutions. GHOST is viewed as a potentially attractive purchase because it offers a working product, rewards token holders, and is built on Solana, while also maintaining a relatively small market capitalization.

XRP has decreased by 18% this month, reaching $2.19, but analysts are pointing to potential bullish signals. Despite the recent drop, XRP has increased by 1% in the last 24 hours and 3% over the past week, with a daily trading volume of $3.89 billion. XRP is testing a support level around $2.00; holding above this level could lead to a rally towards $2.60. Long-term charts suggest XRP is in a multi-month consolidation phase above a significant support level, with a potential target of $8.00 if this support holds. Another analysis suggests a possible final leg in a wave pattern, potentially targeting $24. ETF activity has increased, with significant inflows into new XRP funds, including $130 million combined for Grayscale and Franklin Templeton at launch. Short-term targets could be $2.35 to $2.45, with high liquidity expected in the $2.30 to $2.40 range.

The cryptocurrency LivLive ($LIVE) is being promoted as a potential high-growth investment due to its system of rewarding users for real-world activities and referrals. The project has raised over $2.17 million during its presale, offering a 300% bonus on token purchases with a presale price of $0.02 and an expected listing price of $0.20. The project emphasizes its audited tokenomics and secure treasury management, contrasting itself with more speculative crypto launches. The article also briefly mentions Solana ($SOL) as a high-speed network gaining institutional adoption and TRON ($TRX) as a global payment network processing billions in stablecoin transfers daily, suggesting they are established players in the crypto space. LivLive is presented as a newer project with potential for significant returns.

Cryptocurrency markets showed little movement on Thursday, with Bitcoin holding above $91,000 while US markets were closed for Thanksgiving. Bitcoin increased by 1% in the last 24 hours. Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) both decreased by less than 1% during the same period. XRP decreased by 1.7% to reach a price of $2.21.

The article discusses the potential for Bitcoin's block time to serve as a reliable and neutral alternative to the traditional calendar for recording and referencing events, especially in the digital realm. It notes that key events in Bitcoin's history, such as the SEC's approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs at block 826,565, are increasingly being referenced by block height rather than calendar dates. The article emphasizes that Bitcoin's system of ordering events through block height is based on proof-of-work and consensus, making it a verifiable and immutable record of time, unlike UTC which is subject to political and technical compromises. While acknowledging the social gap between human-centric calendars and Bitcoin's continuous block production, the article suggests that citing events by block height is becoming increasingly common in the crypto space and could eventually extend to other areas like law and archives. The article also points out that U.S. spot ETFs collectively held 56% of circulating BTC at block 925,421.

SEI's price is around $0.14, up 2.88% in the last 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $894.8 million and $79.7 million in trading volume. Open interest is stable near 51.1 million, indicating traders are hesitant to make big moves. Despite the recent increase, SEI remains well below its yearly high of $0.39 and is still in a multi-month downtrend. Technical indicators suggest bearish momentum is weakening but not reversing, with capital outflows persisting. SEI has not built a strong recovery foundation, with the Chaikin Money Flow at 0.20 indicating selling pressure.

XRP's price is currently around $2.21, showing stability after recovering from lows earlier this year. It experienced a slight daily gain of 0.88%, with small price increases and decreases throughout the day. Although trading volume decreased by 10.22% to $3.4 billion, XRP's market capitalization increased by 1% to $133.49 billion. Market analysts have observed a divergence between the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and the price movement, which is similar to a pattern seen during the market bottom in 2022. The RSI is trending upwards while the price remains near its support level, suggesting a potential increase in bullish momentum.

NYSE Arca has filed an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking approval to list and trade an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that would invest in Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). If approved, this ETF, proposed by T. Rowe Price, would offer investors exposure to these cryptocurrencies through a traditional investment vehicle on the stock exchange. The SEC will now review the application and decide whether to allow the ETF to be listed.

Chainlink's reserve has increased by 89,079 LINK, bringing the total holdings to 973,752 LINK. This accumulation is driven by increased adoption of Chainlink services by enterprises, which reduces the circulating supply of LINK. The price of LINK is showing signs of stabilization and has rebounded from a key support level. If LINK breaks above the $15 resistance level, it could potentially reach $17.46. Technical indicators suggest improving momentum and accumulation.

A new Chrome extension called Crypto Copilot, available since June 2024, is stealing funds from Solana traders. The extension, which poses as a tool to execute Solana trades from X feeds, secretly siphons 0.05% of each Raydium swap, with a minimum of 0.0013 SOL, to an attacker's wallet. This hidden transfer is embedded within the swap transaction, making it difficult for users to detect during wallet confirmation. The extension also sends wallet data and activity information to a suspicious backend server. While on-chain activity linked to the attacker's wallet is currently limited, researchers warn that high-volume users could lose significant amounts over time. This discovery comes amidst a rise in browser extension-based crypto threats, with wallet-related breaches accounting for $1.7 billion of the $2.2 billion stolen in the first half of 2025.

EtherFi is launching a crypto Visa card that allows users to spend their crypto without selling it. The card, designed for users familiar with DeFi, works by letting users borrow against their staked eETH and other assets. This means users can spend while their assets continue to generate staking rewards. The card also offers cashback rewards, typically between 2 and 3%, in the form of ecosystem tokens and remains non-custodial, giving users control over their private keys. EtherFi is known for its liquid restaking protocol on Ethereum, with a TVL exceeding $6 billion. In addition to EtherFi, the article discusses PepeNode ($PEPENODE), a more speculative project centered around virtual node farming, where users create and upgrade virtual server farms. $PEPENODE focuses on rewarding user engagement through token burning mechanisms and staking rewards.

A veteran analyst has identified Ripple's XRP as a cryptocurrency with the potential for strong performance in the coming months. The analyst's opinion suggests a positive outlook for XRP's market value and potential profitability for investors.

The European Union is implementing new regulations for crypto firms operating within its borders, set to take effect on January 1, 2026. These rules, expanding the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8), mandate standardized reporting of customer crypto holdings and transactions by exchanges, wallet providers, and other digital asset operators. This data will be shared automatically among EU tax authorities. A Crypto-Asset Operator register will be created, assigning each operator a unique identification number for cross-border supervision, with information retained for up to 12 months after removal from the register. These measures, alongside existing regulations like the Transfer of Funds Regulation, aim to combat tax fraud, financial crime, and market abuse, but raise privacy concerns regarding user data. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) may gain direct oversight over major cross-border exchanges, centralizing EU crypto supervision, a move that has been criticized by smaller financial hubs.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000 by the year 2026. This forecast suggests a significant potential increase in Bitcoin's value within the next few years.

The crypto market is anticipating a bull cycle, with attention shifting to AI-driven tokens for potential high growth. Ozak AI ($OZ), currently in its presale phase (Phase-7) priced at $0.014, has raised $4,544,645.89 with 1,010,329,140.61 $OZ tokens purchased. Ozak AI aims to combine AI, decentralized infrastructure (DePIN), and cross-chain utility and differentiates itself through real utility across blockchains. Strategic partnerships with Hive Intel, Weblume, Meganet, and SINT enhance its data accuracy, AI-powered insights, bandwidth, and cross-chain capabilities, respectively. A smart contract audit by @sherlockdefi confirmed zero unresolved issues. Analysts suggest that if Bitcoin reaches $150,000, Ozak AI could potentially reach $5 by 2027, representing a 700x increase from its presale price.

Retail investors have been net buyers of stocks for 23 consecutive months, marking the longest buying streak since 2020-2022. This sustained buying trend is partially attributed to investors seeking assets that can offset inflation. The shift towards stocks has also drawn some retail investors away from cryptocurrency, as stocks, particularly NASDAQ, offered better returns with perceived lower risk compared to Bitcoin. The rise of AI companies has further fueled the stock market's appeal. Individual traders are becoming a consistent market presence, actively participating in options trading. While larger funds have been selling stocks, retail investors have stepped in as dip buyers, setting new buying records in the US and increasing share purchases in the EU, with a notable 18% rise in new European investors. Despite this continued accumulation, there are also signs of growing caution among retail investors, with concerns about a potential AI bubble.

Experts are downplaying concerns about the impact of the 'Midnights' upgrade on the Cardano network. The second phase of the 'Glacier' drop has concluded, suggesting progress in Cardano's development despite some uncertainty surrounding the 'Midnights' upgrade and its potential effects.

Crypto analyst NeverWishing predicts XRP could reach $1,115 in its final bull run. The analyst outlines three potential paths for this rally. The first path anticipates an immediate surge starting between this month and next, leading to an initial rise to $30-$33, then to $186, a consolidation, and finally $1,115. The second path, considered the fastest, projects a January-March timeframe with similar targets. The third, a suppressed variant, kicks in if the previous paths fail, resetting in early January next year and following a structure akin to the second path. Key timing windows include an entry/breakout period between now and January 2026, a mid-cycle reversal point around March 21, 2026, a warning zone in August 2026, a pullback in October/November 2026, and a final liquidity window on January 1, 2027. Currently, XRP is trading around $2.20.

NOW Wallet has introduced a feature allowing users to send USDT on the Tron network without needing to pay gas fees in TRX. This aims to simplify cryptocurrency transactions by removing the requirement to hold the native token for transaction fees, a common inconvenience for users sending stablecoins.

Dogecoin's price is currently around $0.15, and analysts are observing its price patterns for potential future movement. Technical charts show possible upward movement, but confirmation through increased trading volume is needed. Historical data suggests potential for significant price increases, but these are considered speculative and not guaranteed. Traders are watching for Dogecoin to break through resistance levels, with potential short-term targets around $0.16 to $0.18. However, analysts caution that Dogecoin's price is influenced by market sentiment and overall economic conditions, and any long-term price predictions, like reaching $5, should be viewed with caution. Maintaining support levels around $0.13 to $0.14 is important to prevent price declines. Dogecoin has a market capitalization of approximately $23.1 billion, with over 151.9 billion coins in circulation.

The Ethereum network has reached a new record for transactions processed per second (TPS), hitting over 31,083 TPS. This increase is driven by demand for smart contracts and Layer 2 solutions. Daily transactions across Ethereum Mainnet and Layer 2s have reached approximately 30.69 million, showing a multi-month uptrend and a five-fold increase since the first quarter. Despite the increased activity, transaction costs have decreased significantly. Layer 1 transaction costs average $0.17 per token transfer, while Layer 2 costs average $0.0007 per token transfer, although zkEVM L2s remain more expensive. This all points to growing adoption and scalability within the Ethereum ecosystem.

CalPERS, the largest public pension fund in the US, invested $144 million in Strategy stock (MSTR) during the third quarter. Due to a sharp decline in Bitcoin's price, the value of their investment has dropped to approximately $80 million in just a few weeks. This loss, while small relative to CalPERS' total $550 billion portfolio, highlights the risks associated with Bitcoin-related investments. Strategy's stock price is closely correlated with Bitcoin's price, and the recent cryptocurrency sell-off has significantly impacted its value. JPMorgan warned that Strategy could face significant outflows if major benchmarks remove the stock, further pressuring the stock. This situation raises questions about how long institutions will tolerate the volatility associated with Bitcoin-linked assets, as the value of these assets can decline quickly when market sentiment changes.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson believes the crypto market is in the middle of a disrupted super cycle and is preparing for its next major expansion. He attributes the disruption to aggressive regulatory actions by the US government, specifically from both the Biden and Trump administrations. Despite institutional investment in crypto, it has primarily focused on Bitcoin ETFs, causing Bitcoin to reach past $100,000 while altcoins have lagged. Hoskinson anticipates this situation will resolve within one to two quarters, after which the market will resume its upward trend. He predicts Bitcoin could reach $250,000, and altcoins like ADA, XRP, and ETH will achieve new all-time highs within the next 3 to 6 months. Hoskinson bases this on the expected growth of crypto users to 1 billion, stablecoins reaching $1 trillion, and tokenized real-world assets potentially bringing in $10 trillion over the next 5 years. He believes institutional investment will broaden beyond Bitcoin and regulatory clarity will improve.

According to a top trader, the price of the cryptocurrency SUI is showing a bullish setup, suggesting a potential breakout. If this pattern plays out, SUI could increase by 168%, potentially reaching $2.34. SUI has fallen almost 70% from its January peak and is now testing a long-term support level. Despite the price decline, the network has seen a 900% growth in total accounts this year, indicating strong activity. The trader, @Don, points to a descending wedge pattern forming over the past year, where lower highs reflect selling pressure, but the lower boundary has held firm, indicating sustained demand. Another analyst, CryptoBull, notes that SUI's price is rebounding from a key support area, with the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicating oversold conditions. If the price continues to rise, the immediate target is around $1.90-$2.20. The SUI Community also notes that SUI is at its lowest valuation in about 18 months, with growing momentum from Grayscale Trust and ecosystem expansion, suggesting it's a good time to buy.

Bitwise has filed for an Avalanche (AVAX) exchange-traded fund (ETF) that will include staking, a process of earning rewards by holding and validating blockchain transactions. This makes Bitwise the first company to propose an AVAX ETF with staking capabilities. The move intensifies the competition among asset managers seeking to launch cryptocurrency-based investment products.

Trust Wallet has integrated Apple Pay, enabling users in over 45 countries to purchase cryptocurrencies directly through the wallet app. This aims to simplify the process of buying crypto, making it faster and more accessible, especially for newcomers. Users can now fund their Trust Wallet accounts by selecting Apple Pay as their payment method within the app. The Trust Wallet team highlights the security and convenience of Apple Pay, including features like Touch ID and Face ID, to protect user transactions. Trust Wallet's native token, TWT, has shown minimal price movement, experiencing a slight increase of 0.09% and trading at $1.08, while the broader cryptocurrency market has seen a 3% increase.

The UK's tax authority, HMRC, is considering a "no gain, no loss" approach to taxing DeFi activities like crypto lending and staking. This means depositing crypto assets into platforms like Aave wouldn't be immediately taxed as a sale. Aave's CEO, Stani Kulechov, believes this is a significant positive step for UK DeFi users, especially those borrowing stablecoins. He stated that Aave Labs participated in the consultation, advocating for the approach to reflect the economic reality that users are not disposing of assets when borrowing. Kulechov previously criticized the Bank of England's proposal to cap individual and firm stablecoin holdings, arguing it would hinder the UK's competitiveness in the stablecoin market.

Uniswap's UNI token is currently trading around $6.21, showing a slight increase of 1.24% over the last 24 hours. However, its price remains significantly lower than its October peak and yearly high. Technical indicators suggest weak momentum, with a negative MACD reading and a deeply negative Chaikin Money Flow, indicating capital outflows. Open interest data shows traders are hesitant to commit to new positions, reflecting a lack of strong bullish or bearish sentiment. The token's market capitalization is $3.93 billion, with a daily trading volume of $363.9 million and a circulating supply of 629.9 million tokens.

The price of Shiba Inu (SHIB) could potentially increase because the rate at which SHIB tokens are being permanently removed from circulation (burned) has significantly increased. Over the past 24 hours, the SHIB burn rate has risen by 790%. A higher burn rate reduces the total supply of SHIB, which, in theory, could lead to a higher price due to increased scarcity.

Visa is partnering with Aquanow to expand its stablecoin settlement capabilities in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (CEMEA). This partnership will enable financial institutions in the region to settle transactions using approved stablecoins like USDC, aiming to reduce costs and speed up settlement times. Visa has been involved with stablecoin technology since 2023, with its pilot program reaching a $2.5 billion annualized run rate. Aquanow will provide digital asset infrastructure, processing billions in monthly crypto transactions. Visa CEO Ryan McInerney noted that clearer regulations are needed for the technology to reach its full potential. Visa reported $9.6 billion in net revenue in Q2 2025, a 9% year-over-year increase, while developing stablecoin capabilities.

Kaspa (KAS) cryptocurrency has increased in value by 40% over the last week, making it one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies. As of today, it's trading at approximately $0.06, giving it a market value of around $1.6 billion. This ranks Kaspa as the 72nd largest cryptocurrency, surpassing other well-known digital currencies. The price increase appears to be linked to the launch of the first decentralized Kaspa bridge. Some analysts are predicting further price increases to around $0.16 in the coming months. However, some indicators suggest a potential price pullback, with data showing more Kaspa being deposited on exchanges than withdrawn, which can signal an intent to sell.

Bitwise, a U.S. crypto asset manager, predicts that the digital asset treasury (DAT) sector will consolidate, with larger companies acquiring smaller ones. According to Bitwise executives, size will be a major factor in determining which DAT companies survive. Larger firms will have advantages like access to debt, crypto lending, deeper derivatives markets, and the ability to buy smaller companies at a discount.

The article discusses the potential, though ambitious, possibility of turning a $10,000 investment in XRP into $500,000 or $1 million. It highlights that achieving this would necessitate a strategic approach, careful timing, and a willingness to accept risk.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP are experiencing price increases, contributing to a crypto market capitalization rise to $3.1 trillion, a 3% daily increase. The upward trend is primarily driven by a weakening US dollar. A slight drop in the dollar, triggered by a strengthening British pound, increased global liquidity and spurred the crypto market's rally. Bitcoin is holding above $91,000 and is potentially heading towards the $93,500 to $94,000 range. Ethereum has recovered to above $3,000, benefiting from improved market liquidity, rising futures activity, and increased staking and layer-2 transactions. XRP has seen a significant jump to $2.20 due to the increased liquidity caused by the weakening dollar. The improved liquidity in the US market is the primary catalyst for the price increases of these cryptocurrencies.

The European Union has introduced new rules regarding crypto data-sharing, set to take effect on January 1, 2026. These rules, under Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2263 and an expansion of the Directive on Administrative Cooperation (DAC8), require crypto companies to report user holdings and transactions in a standard digital format to EU tax authorities. A Crypto-Asset Operator register will be created, assigning each operator a 10-digit identification number. Data deleted from the register must be retained for up to 12 months. These rules work alongside the Transfer of Funds Regulation (TFR), effective December 30, 2024, which requires identifying senders and recipients for crypto transfers, and the broader MiCA crypto framework. The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) may gain direct oversight of major cross-border exchanges. These changes aim to increase transparency and combat financial crime but also raise privacy concerns for crypto users within the EU.

Crypto traders are making bets that Bitcoin's price will reach $100,000 by the end of the year. This optimism is fueled by expectations that the Federal Reserve will ease its monetary policy, which could make riskier assets like Bitcoin more attractive to investors. Essentially, some investors are putting their money where their mouth is, anticipating a significant price surge in Bitcoin within the next few months due to anticipated changes in economic policy.

A crypto article highlights five presales for Black Friday, ranking Digitap ($TAP) as number one. Digitap, an omnibank merging DeFi with real-world spending, is launching a "96 Hours of Madness" event with hourly deals and bonuses totaling over $1 million. It operates in over 100 countries, has 120,000+ wallets connected, and boasts over $5 million in transaction volume. The presale includes a 40% discount for first-time buyers using code QUICKTAP40. Other presales mentioned are IPO Genie, which tokenizes pre-IPO opportunities and has raised $2.5 million; BlockchainFX (BFX), integrating AI trading with crypto cards, having raised over $11 million with tokens priced at $0.03; DeepSnitch AI, an AI-driven blockchain surveillance tool priced at $0.02477 and having raised around $580K; and LivLive, transforming live streaming using the $LIVE token priced at $0.02 with bonus codes for early buyers.

Sui (SUI) is currently trading around $1.55, with analysts watching for a potential rally towards $1.70. The recent drop in price to collect orders before reversing, called a liquidity sweep, has caught the attention of traders who see it as a possible turning point if buying increases. However, caution is advised due to broader market uncertainty and resistance levels. The Sui Foundation recently released 43.96 million SUI tokens, adding temporary selling pressure. Technical analysis shows Sui moving within a descending channel, with its current position near the lower boundary considered a crucial point that could determine the next trend. Some analysts predict a rebound with targets between $1.90 and $2.20, while others warn of potential price swings. Despite price challenges, Sui's ecosystem continues to expand, with institutional interest present. Algorithmic forecasts suggest potential prices between $1.80 and $6.77 by the end of 2025, but these predictions are subject to various unpredictable factors.

According to Hashed CEO Simon Kim's new valuation dashboard, ETHval, Ethereum is significantly undervalued. The dashboard calculates a composite fair value of $4,777.5 for Ethereum, while it's trading at around $3,034. This suggests a potential upside of nearly 58%. The dashboard uses eight different valuation models, with varying reliability ratings. Some models, like those based on discounted staking rewards and Metcalfe's Law, indicate Ethereum is heavily undervalued, projecting values as high as $9,585.9. Conversely, models based on price-to-earnings ratios and revenue yields suggest Ethereum is overvalued, with fair values as low as $957.4. ETHval weights the models based on their reliability to arrive at the composite fair value, leading to the overall conclusion that Ethereum is undervalued, but the dashboard stresses that these are reference points based on debatable assumptions and not investment advice.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, initially promoted the newly launched Monad (MON) token, suggesting it would reach $10. However, he quickly reversed his stance, urging traders to sell it down to zero. Despite Hayes' negative comments, blockchain data shows that large investors, known as whales, have been actively accumulating MON. One whale address withdrew 73.36 million MON, worth about $3 million, from the Gate.io exchange. Overall, whales now control over 300 million MON tokens. While publicly criticizing MON, Hayes has been investing in other tokens, including Ethena (ENA), PENDLE, and ETHFI. The price of MON has decreased by over 13% to $0.0412, partly due to concerns about fake token transfers that misled users by simulating trading activity.

Bitcoin is showing signs of a potential large price swing in December, according to BitMine Chairman Tom Lee and recent on-chain data analysis. The market has been recovering from a significant liquidation event in October, which weakened market liquidity. Bitcoin has fallen almost 30% from its peak. On-chain data indicates that aggressive selling pressure has decreased, but strong buying hasn't emerged, suggesting a market in transition. Nexo users are preferring to borrow against their Bitcoin holdings rather than sell. This, coupled with thin order books, introduces potential for high volatility if further price drops trigger liquidations. Tom Lee anticipates a strong December rally, potentially fueled by a shift in Federal Reserve policy. The direction of Bitcoin's next major move will likely depend on macroeconomic factors and ETF flows rather than market sentiment alone.

Pi Coin has seen a strong price increase recently, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum in short-term gains. This rise is attributed to a general market recovery and improvements to the Pi App Studio, making it easier for developers. However, the article suggests this rally might not last, as the overall crypto market remains unstable. Pi Coin's price is currently at a point where it could either continue to rise if the market improves and Pi Network activity increases, or it could stabilize or even decline if these conditions aren't met.

Ethereum's price has increased by 4% in the last 24 hours, surpassing $3,000 after bouncing from a support range of $2,600 to $2,700. Trading volume has increased to over $21.2 billion. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has broken a downtrend, suggesting a potential shift in momentum. A short-term resistance level is identified at $3,040, and clearing it could lead to further price increases towards $3,140 and $3,200. Failure to hold above $2,900-$2,950 could lead to a return to $2,800. The ETH/BTC pair is showing signs of a potential breakout. Large wallets holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH now control the highest level of tokens since Ethereum's launch. The amount of Ethereum held on exchanges is decreasing, which could mean bigger holders are moving their tokens to long-term storage.

On November 27th, the crypto market saw a significant recovery, with Bitcoin rising 5% to over $90,000 and Ethereum surpassing $3,000. This increase is attributed to improved liquidity in the US financial system following the end of a government shutdown that had drained $621 billion from the market. As the US Treasury replenishes its General Account, which currently holds $892 billion, excess capital is expected to flow into the economy, benefiting risk assets like crypto. Additionally, dovish signals from Federal Reserve officials, suggesting potential interest rate cuts, and the upcoming end of Quantitative Tightening on December 1st are contributing to a more favorable environment for crypto. Ethereum products saw $61 million in net inflows, while Bitcoin products had more modest inflows of around $21 million, indicating a possible shift in investor focus. Despite the positive momentum, potential risks remain, including the possibility of a hot inflation report that could reverse the Fed's dovish stance and reduced liquidity during the holiday season. Analysts suggest that Bitcoin holding above $90,000 could lead to a test of the $95,000 level, while a failure to hold could result in a retreat to $84,000.
