The article promotes LivLive ($LIVE) as the best cryptocurrency to buy, comparing it to early investment opportunities like TRON (TRX). LivLive is described as a real-world system that combines augmented reality (AR) with blockchain, rewarding users for everyday activities. The project has already raised over $2.1 million in its presale stage and attracted more than 300 early adopters. It rewards users with $LIVE tokens and real-world prizes for completing AR quests and activities, using a Proof-of-Presence mining system. The presale price is currently $0.02, with a projected launch price of $0.25. The article highlights a limited-time Black Friday bonus code, BLACK300, offering a 300% bonus on $LIVE token purchases.

The Sahara AI team is addressing a significant price crash of their $SAHARA token, which plummeted over 50% on November 29. The team claims that the drop was not due to any security breaches or token unlocks, as core contributor tokens are not scheduled to unlock until June 2026. Instead, the team attributes the crash to the liquidation of a large market maker's positions, which triggered risk controls and amplified selling pressure. The market maker had exposure to multiple tokens, including $SAHARA, and was flagged for unusual market making activity. The team assures the community that Sahara AI's operations, product development, and strategic priorities remain unchanged. They plan to continue developing AI infrastructure, expand business in data labeling and domain-specific agents, and focus on agentic protocols and crypto x AI applications.

Hyperliquid's HYPE token experienced a price dip after 1.75 million tokens were distributed to team members as part of a previously announced vesting schedule. This distribution sparked concerns about potential selling pressure, with some mistaking the movement for external investors selling off their holdings. Hyperliquid clarified that these tokens were solely for team members and that the platform never raised venture capital, meaning there are no investor unlocks. While the team did unstake and move some HYPE tokens, only a small fraction was sold. HYPE's price fell by over 6% in the past 24 hours and is down 43% from its all-time high in September. Hyperliquid previously airdropped 31% of its total HYPE supply to users and allocated 23.8% to the team, with the remaining tokens reserved for future emissions.

Cardano is progressing towards a significant upgrade by releasing a development tracker. This tracker will allow the public to monitor the progress of the upgrade, providing more transparency into the development process. The upgrade is expected to bring improvements to the Cardano network.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,000-$93,000, facing resistance within a downtrend. Technical analysis suggests that if Bitcoin fails to break above $93,000, it could fall back towards $86,000-$88,000, with a further drop possible to the $80,000-$83,000 range. A break above $93,000 might lead to a rally towards $102,000-$106,000. On-chain data indicates substantial resistance around $96,000-$97,000, where many recent and medium-term Bitcoin buyers may look to sell to avoid losses. Overcoming this $96,000-$97,000 level is considered essential for any sustained upward movement.

MicroStrategy, the company holding a large amount of Bitcoin, indicated for the first time that it might sell some of its Bitcoin holdings under specific circumstances. These circumstances include the company's stock price falling below the value of its Bitcoin assets and the company being unable to raise money through selling stock or debt. The company's CEO, Phong Le, mentioned that the board hasn't planned any sales but that this option is available if the company's financial situation gets worse. This is a change from the company's previous stance of never selling Bitcoin. Analysts point out that the company's market value is getting closer to the value of its Bitcoin, which is creating a new challenge. If the company's market value falls too low, it might be forced to sell Bitcoin to cover dividend payments. This development is important for Bitcoin investors because MicroStrategy's large Bitcoin holdings and its previous commitment to never sell have been a key part of the market's confidence in Bitcoin.

Reports suggest that large financial institutions might be buying XRP, potentially keeping its price around $2.18 despite growing interest from traders. Some indicators, like the decrease in XRP held on exchanges like Coinbase (dropping from nearly 1 billion to 32 million in September), point towards possible private accumulation, possibly under non-disclosure agreements. Analyst Dr. Jim Willie suggests banks like Bank of America and BNY Mellon may be building positions, and Larry Fink's comments about an XRP ETF are seen as further signs of institutional interest. While some analysts predict XRP could reach $5 soon and $10 by April 2026, one commentator floated targets of $5 (near-term) and $10 (longer-term), others warn against expecting immediate price surges from ETFs, emphasizing the importance of liquidity and market conditions. One analyst even suggested XRP could rival the US dollar, but most experts consider such high valuations unlikely and call for concrete evidence before accepting claims of price manipulation or extreme future value.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) advised crypto traders to "sell when there is maximum greed, and buy when there is maximum fear" as market sentiment showed signs of strain. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index recently improved slightly to 20, exiting "Extreme Fear" after hitting a yearly low of 10 on November 22nd, a period some analysts described as unusually deep fear. Bitcoin was trading around $91,780, significantly below its all-time high of $126,000 from October. Online discussions focused on volatility and institutional activity rather than excitement, with the Altcoin Season Index at 22/100, indicating a preference for safer investments. Despite past trends suggesting Bitcoin might find a bottom during extreme fear periods, a Bitwise researcher cautioned that current pricing reflects a bearish global growth outlook. The Bitcoin Coinbase premium, which compares Bitcoin's price on Coinbase to the global average, turned positive after 29 days of being negative, suggesting increased buying activity in the U.S. market.

Monad (MON) has experienced a significant price drop of over 47% from its initial post-launch high within four days, prompting comparisons to Pi Coin's performance after its launch. Similar to Pi Coin, Monad saw a rapid initial price spike followed by a sharp decline. Analysis of Monad's market indicators, such as Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) and Bull-Bear Power (BBP), reveals weakening buyer confidence and large money outflows since its listing. Arthur Hayes has also expressed skepticism about Monad. The article identifies key price levels to watch: a break below $0.026 could lead to further declines towards $0.023 and potentially $0.013, while a move above $0.029 is needed to stabilize the structure and a climb above $0.039 and $0.040 is needed to rebuild confidence. Currently, Monad trades below these marks, with sellers in control, suggesting further price decreases are possible.

Michael Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, suggested a potential upcoming purchase of Bitcoin. The hint was delivered through a social media post featuring 'green dots,' which are often interpreted in the crypto community as a signal of buying activity. While the exact amount and timing are not confirmed, the implication is that Saylor's company, MicroStrategy, may be planning to increase its already substantial Bitcoin holdings. This news is relevant because MicroStrategy's Bitcoin investments are closely watched by the market, and any increase could influence Bitcoin's price and investor sentiment.

The crypto market is slowly recovering after a significant drop last week, with Bitcoin and Ethereum bouncing back to above $92,000 and $3,000 respectively. This recovery is linked to improved investor sentiment and positive macroeconomic signals. Derivatives trading, particularly for Bitcoin and Ethereum, is stabilizing, though altcoins are lagging behind. While there was high demand for shorting altcoins during the sell-off, traders now appear less fearful of further price drops in the short term. Solana, Toncoin, Cardano, and Curve DAO have seen the most improvement among altcoins during this recovery. The overall positive trend in crypto is happening alongside improvements in the S&P 500 and the resolution of the U.S. government shutdown, potentially influencing the Federal Reserve's upcoming meeting where a rate cut is possible.

Kazakhstan's central bank is considering investing up to $300 million in cryptocurrency assets, potentially using funds from its National Fund and foreign-exchange reserves. The investment could be less than $300 million with initial investments ranging from $50 million to $250 million. The bank is proceeding cautiously due to recent market volatility and the drop in Bitcoin's price over the past month. The bank plans to wait for market conditions to stabilize before making any investment decisions. This move is part of a larger strategy to diversify the central bank's portfolio, which currently consists mostly of gold and securities, by including high-tech stocks and digital financial assets. This initiative follows instructions to create a strategic state reserve for digital assets and Kazakhstan, through its Alem Crypto Fund, has already purchased BNB in partnership with Binance.

Dogecoin's price has increased by about 2.7% even though large investor activity has decreased to its lowest level in two months. Trading volume has also fallen by over 30% to around $779 million. Technical charts suggest a potential upward price movement, with analysts noting a bullish pennant forming, which is a pattern that often leads to quick price increases. Also on a longer 3-day chart, Dogecoin briefly dropped below a key support level, but quickly recovered, a pattern that has historically preceded strong price rallies.

Chainlink's price is holding above $13, indicating a recovery. This recovery is attributed to a positive development involving UBS and tokenization. The article suggests that UBS utilizing Chainlink's technology for tokenization purposes is driving confidence and upward price movement for the Chainlink token.

An analyst suggests that price increases for alternative cryptocurrencies like BNB, XRP, and Solana are expected to occur, indicating that the period of growth for these altcoins is not over but delayed. This means investors might anticipate potential gains in these specific cryptocurrencies in the near future.

Bitcoin is currently testing a major resistance area between $92,734 and $101,156, a range that has been a barrier throughout the current market cycle. This follows a bounce from a low near $83,000. The 55-week exponential moving average, a key trend indicator, is around $98,300. Bitcoin briefly fell below this average during the recent correction. If Bitcoin's price turns lower from the current resistance, the next support zone is between $83,240 and $88,160. On lower timeframes, Bitcoin has minor support between $88,690 and $90,330; falling below this level could lead to a retest of the broader support in the mid-$80,000s.

Bitcoin's price recovery has slowed after reaching $91,000. On-chain data suggests Bitcoin may be entering a low-risk zone, potentially leading to a price rebound. The Sharpe Ratio, an indicator assessing risk-adjusted returns, is declining, indicating lower risk and potentially attracting long-term investors. Historically, Bitcoin prices have bottomed out when the Sharpe Ratio enters this zone. Additionally, the Coinbase Premium Gap, which measures the difference between Bitcoin prices on Coinbase and Binance, is positive, suggesting strong buying pressure from US investors, which could further support a price increase. Currently, Bitcoin is priced around $90,940, showing a slight increase in the last 24 hours.

The newly launched Layer 1 blockchain Monad saw its native token, MON, increase by 80% to a high of $0.048 following its release. However, Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, predicts a potential 99% crash in Monad's token value. Hayes argues that Layer 1 blockchains besides Ethereum and Solana are unlikely to succeed and describes MON as a high FDV, low-float token lacking a real-world use case. He compares Monad to Berachain, whose token BERA is currently trading nearly 94% below its all-time high. As of now, the Monad token has already fallen over 40% from its peak, trading around $0.0285. Hayes also identified Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, ZCash, and Ethena as protocols with strong potential and highlighted privacy-focused coins like ZCash and advancements in Zero Knowledge proofs as key trends to watch.

Bitcoin mining stocks experienced gains last week, driven by Bitcoin's price surge to over $90,000. The combined market capitalization of the top public bitcoin miners increased by 5.04% in 24 hours, reaching $69.1 billion. CleanSpark and Bitfarms saw the largest single-day gains, exceeding 12%. IREN Limited, with the highest market capitalization, is benefiting from a $9.7 billion contract with Microsoft for AI cloud computing services, though its stock slightly decreased. Cipher Mining's stock rose due to a 10-year high-performance computing deal with Fluidstack. Applied Digital's stock increased after completing Phase II of its AI-data-center campus. TeraWulf's stock jumped significantly following a strong Q3 earnings report and revenue from high-performance computing leases. Riot Platforms also experienced gains, reporting positive Q3 revenue and a substantial bitcoin holding. Core Scientific and Hut 8 also saw positive movement. The article suggests investors are valuing bitcoin miners for their high-performance computing capabilities, particularly in the AI sector.

Michael Saylor, known for his strong advocacy of Bitcoin, hinted at a potential announcement coming on Monday. The specific nature of this announcement remains unknown, but the change in Saylor's usual Sunday activity suggests it could be significant for the cryptocurrency market. Investors are anticipating further details regarding Saylor's plans or involvement in the Bitcoin space.

LivLive, a new crypto project combining augmented reality, wearables, and real-world rewards, has raised over $2.17 million from 320+ participants in its early presale stage. The project's presale includes a Black Friday promotion offering a 300% bonus on token purchases using the code BLACK300. LivLive aims to reward users with $LIVE tokens for real-world activities verified through its AR-powered wristband, creating a system where engagement leads to crypto rewards. The project is currently in Stage 1 with tokens priced at $0.02, with a launch price set at $0.25. Early investors can also participate in a $2.5 million Treasure Vault event with prizes and bonuses. Users can buy $LIVE tokens by connecting a crypto wallet to the LivLive website.

The crypto market is currently experiencing a slowdown due to decreased demand from Bitcoin ETFs, which have seen $4.9 billion in net outflows since mid-October, and a weakening of DATs (Digital Asset Trusts). Strategy, a major DAT holder, has reduced its Bitcoin accumulation. Futures and DeFi markets have also seen a reset after a significant liquidation event, resulting in lower leverage. Spot liquidity for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana is down 30-40% from early October. This internal reset is happening against a backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty, including concerns about interest rate cuts and weakness in tech stocks. The market is now in a more neutral state, but recovery depends on increased ETF inflows, renewed DAT accumulation, and a rebound in spot liquidity.

The cryptocurrency Pi is currently priced around $0.2461, with a market capitalization of about $2.05 billion. While showing a slight increase, its trading volume has decreased significantly, dropping by over 35% to $23 million, indicating cautious buyer sentiment. Analysts suggest that holding support between $0.243 and $0.244 is crucial for maintaining a short-term upward trend, potentially targeting $0.250 or $0.255 with increased market activity. However, failure to maintain support around $0.27 could lead to a decline towards $0.20. An analyst suggests that Pi Network, with its upcoming DEX launch and a large number of KYC-verified users, has the potential to initiate the next altcoin season because new narratives typically start such seasons. The launch of Pi's DEX during a period where Bitcoin and Ethereum are stabilizing could create an opportune environment for capital to flow into new ecosystems, potentially triggering a new bull cycle, but its success depends on execution, market timing, and buying momentum.

Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, has expressed concerns about Tether's increasing allocation of reserves to Bitcoin and gold, away from traditional assets like U.S. Treasury bills. He believes this shift is in anticipation of future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve, as Bitcoin and gold tend to perform well in such environments. Hayes warns that a significant price drop in Bitcoin or gold could negatively impact Tether's financial stability and potentially raise concerns about USDT's solvency. Tether's latest report indicates approximately $13 billion in precious metals and nearly $10 billion in Bitcoin within its $181 billion asset portfolio, with the majority held in cash, T-bills, repos, and money-market instruments. S&P Global Ratings has also issued a weak stability score for Tether due to its increased exposure to volatile assets, which could endanger USDT if markets decline. However, an ex-Citi analyst argues that Tether's corporate holdings, including equity stakes and mining operations, along with its substantial profits from interest-bearing Treasuries (around $10 billion annually), mitigate these risks. Former Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino dismissed S&P's concerns, stating that Tether is overcapitalized, profitable, and holds no toxic assets, highlighting its role in the shift towards alternative financial systems.

The dYdX community has approved a Liquidation Rebates Pilot Program to compensate traders who experience liquidation events. Starting December 1, 2025, for one month, the program will reward liquidated traders with points and rebates, with a total reward pool of up to $1 million. This initiative is designed to encourage liquidity and risk management on the platform, following an October network outage that resulted in liquidation-related losses for some traders. The approval was secured via a governance vote with 77.34% Yes votes. This follows the October 10 market crash where around $19 billion in positions were liquidated, and other exchanges like Binance also took measures to compensate affected traders. Binance announced a $400 million relief initiative and a $45 million BNB token airdrop, totaling $728 million for traders affected by the sell-off.

The crypto market is seeing investors shift focus from Ethereum (ETH), priced around $3,000 after recent institutional purchases, and Bitcoin (BTC), which hit $92,644 before retracting to around $90,826, due to concerns about potential price declines. The attention is moving towards Digitap ($TAP), a new crypto project in its presale phase, currently in Round 2 at $0.0334, with Round 3 priced at $0.0361. Digitap aims to merge crypto with traditional finance through its network supporting multiple blockchains and fiat payment systems, and its features include an AI agent for currency routing and virtual cards. Digitap is running a Black Friday promotion with 96 exclusive deals and a $1 million prize pool, and its smart contracts have been audited by Coinsult and SolidProof.

Spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen a return of institutional investment, ending weeks of consistent outflows. Bitcoin ETFs recorded approximately $70 million in net inflows during the last week of November, marking the first positive week since late October after experiencing $4.35 billion in outflows over the previous four weeks. Ethereum ETFs showed an even stronger rebound with about $312.62 million in net inflows, reversing a three-week outflow period of $1.74 billion. Meanwhile, Solana and XRP ETFs continue to attract steady institutional capital. Solana ETFs have maintained a five-week inflow streak, accumulating an additional $108.34 million last week. XRP ETFs, more recently launched, also show a three-week pattern of consistent inflows, adding $243.95 million last week. A new US Spot XRP ETF from 21Shares has gained SEC approval and is scheduled to start trading on December 1.

The cryptocurrency XRP is showing signs of potentially reaching $5 due to increased market activity and adoption. However, analysts suggest that Ozak AI, a newer crypto project focused on artificial intelligence, may have significantly larger growth potential. XRP is currently trading around $2.18 and needs to break through several resistance levels to reach its $5 target. Ozak AI, on the other hand, is highlighted for its AI-driven capabilities, including rapid AI predictions and real-time blockchain monitoring. Its presale has already raised over $4.7 million, indicating strong early interest. Experts believe Ozak AI's focus on AI and Web3 could lead to substantial growth in the future, possibly surpassing the gains of more established cryptocurrencies like XRP. Ozak AI describes itself as providing a technology platform that specializes in predictive AI and advanced data analytics for financial markets.

Upbit, the largest cryptocurrency exchange in South Korea, will begin restoring deposit and withdrawal services on December 1, 2025, after suspending them due to a $36.8 million security breach on November 27. The breach involved unauthorized withdrawals of SOL, USDC, and other Solana-based tokens, prompting Upbit to halt all deposit and withdrawal activity and move remaining assets to cold storage. The exchange aims to cover all losses from its reserves, ensuring no customer is financially impacted. The restoration will be gradual, starting with network assets like Akash Networks AKT and Ethereum ecosystem tokens, including 1INCH, AAVE, and ADT. Users will need to use new deposit addresses for each asset. South Korean authorities suspect the Lazarus Group, a North Korean state-sponsored hacking organization, was responsible for the attack, similar to a 2019 hack that stole 342,000 ETH. The Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) has initiated an on-site inspection of Upbit until December 5.

Tether, the company behind USDT, the world's largest stablecoin, faced a ratings downgrade from S&P Global Ratings. The agency cited concerns over Tether's transparency and the quality of its reserves backing USDT. S&P lowered its assessment of Tether's stability to BB- from BB. This downgrade indicates that S&P views Tether as more vulnerable to adverse business, financial, and economic conditions compared to stablecoins with higher ratings. Tether responded to the downgrade with defiance, suggesting that the company does not prioritize the ratings of traditional institutions.

Ethereum is showing signs of renewed strength and aims to reach $4,200 by year-end. The price is currently around $2,990, forming higher lows as the market anticipates the FUSAKA upgrade on December 3rd. Historically, Ethereum upgrades have led to significant price increases, with analysts suggesting a potential target of around $4,500 after this upgrade. A decrease in Ethereum held on exchanges indicates less selling pressure, which could boost the price. However, there were significant outflows from Ethereum ETFs in November, totaling $1.42 billion, and a large investor sold off around $270 million worth of Ethereum. Despite these challenges, Ethereum gained 10% weekly, and traders are watching key resistance levels, specifically $3,058 and $3,618, as potential pathways to $4,200.

The cryptocurrency Hyperliquid (HYPE) is currently priced around $34, facing a critical point that will determine its next major price movement. Recently, a large amount of HYPE, worth approximately $344 million, was released into the market, causing price volatility. The price is currently testing support around $31 to $32. If it holds above this level and breaks above $36-$37, the price could potentially rise to $42, $45, or even $60. However, if the price falls below $31 to $32, it could drop to $29.50, $27, or even $25. The direction of the price movement will depend on whether buyers can step in and reclaim key levels or if sellers continue to dominate, pushing the price lower.

Architect Partners has released a statement asserting that the Bitcoin digital asset treasury model is not broken. The firm's position counters concerns that companies holding Bitcoin as part of their treasury reserves are facing challenges. The article relays that Architect Partners believes the underlying model for corporate Bitcoin holdings remains viable despite market fluctuations and specific company performances.

Ethereum developers are planning a second major upgrade for 2025, named Fusaka. This upgrade will follow another one scheduled earlier in the year. The article primarily focuses on the preparation phase for this future upgrade, indicating ongoing development and changes within the Ethereum network.

BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), launched in January 2024, rapidly grew to become their highest-grossing revenue source. Reaching $70 billion in assets in just 341 days, IBIT peaked at approximately $98 billion in October 2025, generating about $245 million in annual fees. This surpassed the revenue of BlackRock's other major ETFs, including the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF. Despite a Bitcoin price drop in November 2025 which reduced IBIT's assets to around $70.7 billion, the ETF remains BlackRock's most profitable. Large institutions like Harvard University's endowment are invested in IBIT, and BlackRock's own bond funds have increased their shares. Analysts predict further revenue growth for IBIT if Bitcoin's price increases, highlighting the significant impact of cryptocurrency on Wall Street and BlackRock's portfolio.

Cardano's price is struggling to break past $0.44. A proposal to release 70 million ADA from the treasury for ecosystem development is likely to pass, with over 53% approval so far. Despite this positive news, ADA's price was rejected at $0.44, falling back to around $0.41. This is due to a significant sell-wall of approximately $40 million created by traders betting against the price going up, with a large concentration of short positions worth $22 million specifically at the $0.44 level. While long positions are slightly higher, the strong resistance at $0.44 is preventing further price increases for ADA.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin cautioned the Zcash community against adopting token-weighted governance, arguing it could compromise privacy due to concentrated decision-making power among token holders and their potential short-term incentives. Buterin believes this model is worse than Zcash's current governance structure, warning that privacy interests could erode if decisions depend on the preferences of the average token holder. Zcash founder Zooko responded by emphasizing the independence of the current governance system, its reliance on debate and input, and his intention to run for re-election. He also noted challenges from an increase in questionable grant applications and the need for careful spending decisions given the rising price of ZEC. The debate highlights differing views on on-chain versus committee-based governance, with some advocating for fully on-chain and private governance, while others stress the importance of human judgment and quality control in research and development funding decisions.

Crypto markets are experiencing a slowdown, with capital inflows dropping by over 80% since early October, from nearly $60 billion to around $10 billion by the end of November. The market lacks a clear direction, reflected in a low Fear and Greed Index around 20, indicating investor unease. Bitcoin failed to maintain a rally after briefly dipping near $80,000 and faced resistance around $3,200-$3,250, further diminishing investor enthusiasm. Wallet activity shows larger Bitcoin wallets reducing accumulation, while smaller wallets increase their holdings, suggesting market uncertainty. Stablecoin yields are low around 4%, implying reduced risk appetite. Bitcoin has lost market leadership after breaking through key support levels, shifting momentum towards altcoins, especially mid-caps. Bitcoin's dominance has weakened due to selling pressure and a lack of investor conviction, with the market now driven by selective altcoin rotations rather than broad bullish sentiment.

Arthur Hayes has raised concerns about Tether's investment strategy, suggesting it could be risky. Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin with a circulating supply of 184.6 billion, is reportedly increasing its holdings in assets like Bitcoin and gold. Hayes warns that a significant drop, around 30%, in the value of these assets (roughly $10 billion in Bitcoin and $13 billion in gold) could potentially wipe out Tether's equity, leading to insolvency of USDT. Tether holds over $181 billion in total assets, including Treasury bills and other liquid securities but has expanded into riskier investments like secured loans and Bitcoin. S&P Global Ratings recently gave Tether a weak stability score. In related news, the crypto market experienced a downturn, with Bitcoin dropping 17% over the last 30 days and Ethereum falling by over 22%. Tether is also closing its mining operation in Uruguay due to failed electricity pricing negotiations, resulting in the layoff of about 30 employees.

The recently launched Dogecoin ETFs in the US have seen slow initial investment. The Grayscale and Bitwise ETFs collectively attracted just over $2.16 million in inflows during their first week, which is lower than expected and less than other altcoin ETFs like Solana and XRP. Despite the slow start for the ETFs, some analysts suggest Dogecoin's price could increase significantly if it maintains certain support levels. One analyst points to a key support level of around $0.08, while another predicts a potential rise to $1 based on long-term technical patterns. Another analyst notes that Dogecoin is trading near a support zone that has historically led to rallies, suggesting a potential climb to $1 by 2026 if the $0.15 level holds. Dogecoin is currently trading at $0.15.

China's central bank, the Peoples Bank of China (PBOC), has reaffirmed its ban on all cryptocurrency trading and mining activities, originally issued in 2021. This decision follows the observation of increased crypto trading speculation and related illegal activities. The PBOC is urging government institutions to strengthen their crackdown on virtual currency-related businesses and financial activities. The bank emphasized that cryptocurrencies, including stablecoins, do not qualify as legal tender and pose risks related to money laundering and illegal fund transfers due to their inability to meet anti-money laundering requirements. The PBOC has directed government institutions to improve regulations, enhance monitoring, and severely crack down on illegal crypto-related activities to protect the public's assets and maintain economic stability. The global crypto market cap is currently at $3.06 trillion, up 0.12% in the last day, with a trading volume of $81.28 billion, down 32.95%.

Bitcoin's performance in December 2025 is uncertain after a weak November where it dropped over 17%. Historically, December has been a mixed month for Bitcoin. Recent data shows caution in spot flows and on-chain signals, suggesting potential for further price drops. ETF flows in November showed net outflows, indicating institutions are being defensive. Analysts believe consistent ETF inflows of $200-$300 million per day are needed for a meaningful rebound. On-chain metrics reveal that whales are still sending coins to exchanges, and long-term holders are selling, suggesting weak conviction. A drop below $80,400 could lead to further price decreases, while reclaiming $97,100 is necessary to shift momentum upwards. Overall, the outlook for Bitcoin in December is cautious, with potential for further price retests if ETF outflows continue or whales keep selling.

Zcash (ZEC) is currently trading around $460, showing a decrease in price and trading volume. It's approaching a key support level of $440, which is also where its 50-day moving average is. If Zcash doesn't hold above $440, it could fall further. To show signs of recovery, it needs to climb back above $527. Predictions for Zcash's price in 2025 vary greatly, with some expecting it to reach around $1,000, while others are more conservative, forecasting prices in the $647-$668 range. The near-term direction of Zcash depends on whether buyers step in or if the current downward trend continues.

The article discusses the potential impact of the 'Fusaka' upgrade on the price of Ethereum. The article suggests the upgrade could be a significant factor influencing whether Ethereum reaches new price highs.

Despite a very successful year for Ripple in 2025, XRP's price has decreased since the beginning of the year. Ripple achieved major milestones including the settlement of its lawsuit with the SEC, acquisitions like Hidden Road (renamed Ripple Prime), Rail, and GTreasury, and the launch of several spot XRP ETFs in the US which attracted over $660 million in net inflows. XRP reached a new all-time high of $3.65 during the year. However, after that high, XRP experienced a decline, and now it's trading at $2.20, lower than its initial price of $2.32 at the start of 2025. The reason for this underperformance is attributed to the 'buy the rumor, sell the news' phenomenon, where the price increased in anticipation of positive developments, but then decreased once those events actually occurred.

Chainalysis, a company that tracks cryptocurrency transactions, is disputing a report published by Binance, a major crypto exchange. Binance's report, which used Chainalysis' data, claimed that only a very small percentage (0.018% to 0.023%) of trading volume on big exchanges is linked to illegal activity. Chainalysis says that Binance's report is misleading because it left out important categories of crime-related funds, such as those tied to ransomware and hacks, and didn't account for funds that passed through intermediary wallets before reaching Binance. Chainalysis clarified that they did not conduct the analysis, Binance did, using a selection of Chainalysis' data. Binance stands by its figures, stating that it has provided further clarification on how it measures illicit exposure. This dispute arises as Binance is still addressing the consequences of a previous legal settlement with the United States, where it admitted to failing to prevent money laundering and other violations, and paid a $4.3 billion penalty. Binance has stated it has significantly reduced its exposure to illicit funds, while also processing large amount of trades and working with law enforcement and other organizations to combat crypto crime.

Hyperliquid released $60 million worth of its HYPE tokens to developers and core contributors. Despite concerns of a large sell-off, on-chain data revealed that most recipients chose to hold their tokens, re-stake them, or sell them over-the-counter. Only a portion was sold on the open market. Analysis suggests that anticipated buy pressure in 2026 will significantly outweigh potential sell pressure. Technically, HYPE's price is currently in a falling wedge pattern, and a breakout above this pattern could lead to a price increase, while a drop below could lead to a price decrease.

Bank of America has identified Nvidia, Palantir, and Robinhood as top stocks to buy and hold, anticipating continued gains. They highlighted strong AI chip demand, earnings potential, and market dominance for Nvidia, reaffirming a 'Buy' rating. Palantir was recognized as a leading AI software provider with substantial customer growth, prompting an increased price target to $255 per share. Robinhood was also favored, noting gains beyond its traditional user base and raised its price target to $166, citing expansion and new product launches. Crane, Supernus Pharmaceuticals, and Yum China were also included as 'Buy' recommendations, based on consistent performance, underappreciated growth, and China's largest food network respectively.

Bittensor (TAO) is currently trading around $296, which is just above a key demand zone between $240 and $280 that has historically led to price increases. A significant resistance level is observed between $450 and $475, hindering upward movement. Analysts suggest that breaking above $360 could signal a bullish trend, potentially leading to another attempt to surpass the $450-$475 resistance. A successful breakout above $540 might propel TAO towards $700, with optimistic predictions reaching as high as $3,000 if strong momentum develops. The current demand zone is considered crucial for potential rallies.

Bitcoin's bull market is experiencing a slowdown as key demand drivers have weakened. Bitcoin ETFs are seeing net outflows after months of consistent inflows, indicating investors are taking profits or reducing exposure. The stablecoin supply, a crucial indicator of available capital for Bitcoin purchases, has stagnated, suggesting less fresh money is entering the market. Additionally, the derivatives market shows cautiousness, with leveraged traders reducing their positions. This shift implies that Bitcoin's price appreciation will likely be less rapid and more volatile than before, requiring more patience from investors. While the initial surge was fueled by consistent inflows into ETFs and stablecoins, the market is now undergoing a reset, with long-term holders taking profits and new, smaller buyers gradually accumulating Bitcoin. This transition suggests the bull market isn't over, but its future growth will depend on sustained investor interest rather than automatic market mechanisms.

XRP's price is currently around $2.20 and is being closely watched by traders. A key price level to watch is $2.60; if XRP closes above this on the monthly chart, it could sustain bullish momentum. The next major target is $3.40, which, if broken, could signal a significant upward move. Conversely, a drop below the $1.90 level would negate the bullish outlook. A new XRP ETF, 21Shares U.S. Spot XRP ETF (ticker: TOXR), has been approved and will launch on Monday. Strong inflows into the ETF could boost XRP's price, but the market's reaction will determine whether it acts as a positive catalyst.

Solana's price is currently around $137.33, having decreased by 2.40% in the last 24 hours. Despite this, the price is attempting to stabilize after a recent decline. Institutional investors are showing renewed interest, with the Bitwise Solana ETF adding over $13 million in SOL in a single day. Experts are watching key support levels between $118 and $133, which historically have been strong buying zones. If the price holds above $133, the next target is $144, followed by the $152-$153 range. A successful move above these levels could lead to a recovery towards $165. Solana's network is also performing well, having achieved 662 consecutive days without a network outage, which is the longest in its history.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETFs are now generating more revenue for the company than any other product they offer. BlackRock currently manages over $13.4 trillion in assets across more than 1,400 ETFs worldwide. Their Bitcoin ETFs, including the U.S.-based IBIT and Brazil's IBIT39, are approaching $100 billion in total assets. IBIT, launched in January 2024, quickly became the fastest ETF to reach $70 billion in assets and has generated significant fees for BlackRock. The firm has also increased its own Bitcoin exposure internally. Two former BlackRock employees have launched a new company called HelloTrade, a mobile trading platform using blockchain to provide access to U.S. stocks for international investors, raising $4.6 million in seed funding.

Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX, has warned that Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, could face financial difficulties if its Bitcoin and gold holdings drop by 30%. Hayes believes Tether has invested heavily in Bitcoin and gold to offset potential losses from expected Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. He argues that these investments expose Tether to significant risk because a large drop in the value of these assets could wipe out Tether's equity, potentially leading to insolvency. While some industry experts agree Tether is highly leveraged, they also point to Tether's large holdings of liquid assets like US Treasury Bills and its substantial profitability as mitigating factors. These experts argue that Tether has enough liquid assets to cover USDT redemptions even in a market downturn, and that the company's owners could inject capital if needed.

The article discusses potential altcoins to buy, highlighting Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Binance Coin, XRP, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Tron, and especially BlockchainFX (BFX). BFX is emphasized due to its presale, having raised over $11.4 million from over 18,000 participants. Its current price is $0.03, with a planned increase to $0.031 and a launch target of $0.05. A limited-time Cyber Monday offer (November 30 - December 2) provides an extra 50% bonus tokens using the code CYBER50. BFX aims to bridge blockchain and global finance, allowing users to trade various assets on one platform, redistributing up to 70% of trading fees to stakers. Bitcoin is presented as a store of value and market driver, while Ethereum is the dominant smart contract platform. Solana is noted for its speed and low costs, and Binance Coin's utility is linked to the Binance exchange. XRP is highlighted for cross-border payments, Cardano for its research-driven approach, Chainlink for its data infrastructure, Dogecoin for its community, and Tron for its low-cost DApp platform.

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is offering a presale opportunity to acquire its tokens. Currently, Phase 6 of the presale, allocating 170 million tokens, is 95% sold out. The total supply of MUTM is 4 billion tokens, and approximately $19 million has been raised across all presale phases, with over 18,200 holders participating. Mutuum Finance operates on a dual lending model, P2C and P2P, to create use cases and transactional demand. A simultaneous platform launch and token listing are expected, enabling lending, borrowing, and staking from the start. The platform features an over-collateralized stablecoin pegged to $1, using ETH, SOL, and AVAX as collateral, with minting and repayment generating MUTM demand. Revenue will repurchase MUTM tokens and distribute them to mtToken holders. MUTM is expected to debut its V1 of the protocol on the Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025. A $100,000 giveaway rewards participants with MUTM tokens. Phase 6 is almost sold out, with the next phase projecting a 15% price increase to $0.040.

Bitcoin is experiencing its worst monthly drop since June 2022, currently down 28% from its October high, trading around $91,000. Bitcoin ETFs saw over $3.5 billion in outflows in November, indicating institutional investors are selling. There's also a decrease in stablecoin creation, suggesting less new money entering the crypto market, with approximately $800 million exiting to fiat currencies last week and a $4.6 billion drop in stablecoin market cap during November. Some long-term Bitcoin holders are selling, contributing to the overall market decline. The total crypto market cap is down over 30% since early October, with Ethereum and Solana also experiencing significant drops. Miner stocks have also declined, and there's no sign of companies stepping in to buy Bitcoin at the moment.

Hyderabad police have arrested two men from Navi Mumbai, Ravi Kumar Lal and Shivendra Ashok Singh, suspected of operating a fraudulent crypto investment scheme. The suspects allegedly defrauded a Hyderabad resident of Rs. 12.3 lakh by posing as investment advisors and promising high returns through platforms like Flames Alliance and Munoth Capital Investment Limited. Lal allegedly managed bank accounts and OTPs via an APK file, while Singh provided mule bank accounts for transferring stolen funds. The victim was shown fabricated profits and allowed small withdrawals initially before being blocked from the platform after larger deposits. Police seized mobile phones and cheque books from the accused, who are also linked to other fraud cases across India. Authorities warn residents to be cautious of investment schemes and seek advice from qualified experts due to increasing crypto-related scams.

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) is currently trading around $0.145, and its performance at the end of the month near the $0.15 mark is considered critical. A monthly close above $0.15 could signal a bullish trend towards $0.20-$0.25, while a close below $0.15 might indicate a bearish trend. Key support levels are identified at $0.143 and $0.126, while resistance levels are at $0.163, $0.187, and $0.190. Technical indicators suggest weakening momentum, but there is still potential for a rebound if buyers intervene. The 20-week EMA at $0.163 acts as the first resistance, with a stronger resistance block formed by the 50-week EMA ($0.187) and 100-week EMA ($0.190). The 200-week EMA at $0.1435 is a major long-term support level, with a close below it potentially favoring sellers.

Solana (SOL) is showing a potential upward trend, with its price possibly reaching $160. This is based on a technical chart pattern called an inverse head and shoulders, which suggests a shift in momentum. Currently, Solana is trading around $137 and has seen gains over the past week. This pattern is developing within a larger structure called a falling wedge, indicating that selling pressure is decreasing. A key support level is a major ascending trendline, which has consistently held. A breakout above the neckline of the inverse head and shoulders pattern could trigger a move towards the $160 target. However, a drop below the right shoulder low or a breakdown of the ascending trendline would weaken this bullish outlook.

Jim Chanos, who predicted Enron's collapse, has raised concerns about Nvidia, suggesting the company might be funding its customers to inflate sales figures, similar to what happened with Lucent during the dot-com crash. Nvidia denies these claims, stating they don't use vendor financing and customers pay within 53 days. Chanos points out that Nvidia invests in companies like OpenAI and xAI that are losing money but heavily rely on Nvidia's chips. Michael Burry, known for predicting the 2008 housing crisis, also highlighted suspicious revenue recognition among AI companies due to their investments in buyers. Both Chanos and Burry warn about the growing debt in the AI sector and the possibility of overbuilding data centers, potentially leading to order cancellations if demand doesn't meet expectations in the coming years. Nvidia maintains that demand for its chips is strong and they are ahead of competitors.

XRP's price performance in December 2025 is uncertain after a nearly 13% drop in November. Historically, December has shown strong gains, but this is skewed by a large surge in 2017. More recently, December gains have been much smaller. The potential for increased institutional investment through ETFs could impact XRP's price, as over $640 million has already flowed in. However, long-term holders are selling off some of their XRP, which could create downward pressure. A key resistance level for XRP is between $2.445 and $2.460; breaking above this could lead to a target of $2.60-$2.61. If ETF inflows weaken or the broader market declines, XRP could fall back to around $2.119, potentially even retesting the $1.772 support level. Therefore, XRP's price in December hinges on sustained ETF demand and overall market conditions.

XRP's price is currently $2.19, with a trading volume of $2.02 billion in the last 24 hours. It is the fourth-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap close to $132 billion, and 60.3 billion tokens in circulation. Market analysis suggests XRP is showing signs of stabilization, defending the $2.1458 price level with buyers showing commitment. XRP is forming a triangle pattern, which usually leads to a breakout. If XRP closes above its current downtrend line, it could reach $2.3847, then potentially $2.5783 and $2.78. A retracement to $2.20-$2.23 may occur before this upward movement. The article also discusses Maxi Doge, a meme coin in presale, which has raised over $4.20 million. Its price is $0.00027, and holders can stake their tokens for rewards.

North Korea is reportedly using banned Nvidia graphics cards, specifically the GeForce RTX 2700, to enhance its cybercriminal activities, including stealing cryptocurrency. A report indicates North Korea has been developing AI capabilities for nearly 30 years, focusing on areas like pattern recognition and data optimization, which could improve their ability to conduct crypto theft, money laundering, and create fake identities. These AI advancements allow for more efficient and precise attacks, even with limited personnel. International cooperation between North Korea, China, and Russia may also accelerate the deployment of these technologies. While North Korea is expanding its data center capabilities, there are no signs of using top-tier generative AI. Separately, hacking groups linked to North Korea, such as Lazarus and Kimsuky, have been implicated in numerous cyberattacks, with Lazarus suspected in over 31 incidents in the past year.

Bitcoin mining profitability, as measured by the Puell Multiple, hit a 12-month low of 0.67 on November 25th before recovering to 0.91. Historically, a Puell Multiple below 0.5 indicates financial stress for miners. Bitcoin miner reserves also reached a 12-month low in November, suggesting miners were selling their holdings. This selling pressure may have been driven by concerns over declining Bitcoin prices and increasing mining difficulty, which reduced profitability. Despite these challenges, the Bitcoin mining hash rate has remained strong, indicating miners have been able to maintain operational flexibility during market volatility. Increased miner reserves signal a potential for decreased sell pressure on Bitcoin which may facilitate price recovery.

Chainlink (LINK) is showing signs of potential breakout in December after a long period of consolidation. Analysts are closely monitoring key price levels, with resistance at $16.00 and support at $12.50 and $11.80. A break above $16.00 could trigger a significant rally. Currently, LINK is trading around $13.15 with a market capitalization of approximately $9.16 billion. Intraday price action is choppy, and maintaining above $13.50 is crucial for a bullish outlook. Failing to hold this level could lead to a test of the $11.80 support. Traders are advised to remain cautious and await clearer market signals before making any decisions.

Bitcoin miners are facing a potentially difficult December due to a slight increase in mining difficulty, which means it requires more computing power to mine the same amount of Bitcoin. This is happening while the revenue miners earn per unit of computing power is already very low, near levels where some miners might have to shut down their machines because it's no longer profitable. The US Department of Homeland Security is also investigating Bitmain, a major manufacturer of Bitcoin mining equipment, which could lead to higher costs and delays for miners if restrictions are imposed. Despite a small increase in Bitcoin mining activity in China, experts believe the Chinese government is unlikely to lift its ban on Bitcoin mining due to concerns about financial stability and illegal activity.

In November, cryptocurrency exchanges experienced significant outflows of stablecoins, totaling over $1 billion on November 6th alone. Throughout the month, there were three separate days where more than $500 million in stablecoins were withdrawn. This trend indicates that investors are hesitant and uncertain about the current state of the crypto market, choosing to move their assets off exchanges. These withdrawals reduce the amount of money available for trading, limiting potential market growth. Experts believe that for the market to recover, there needs to be a reversal of this trend with fresh stablecoin deposits returning to exchanges to fuel buying pressure and trading activity.

This week's crypto roundup focuses on XRP and Zcash (ZEC). XRP is facing resistance around $2.25, having briefly touched $2.286 before pulling back. A break above $2.25 could lead to further gains, while a failure to do so might result in a drop towards $2.15 or $2.10. Trading volume for XRP is currently low. The total crypto market cap is down approximately 18% over the last 30 days. Zcash is experiencing a downward trend, struggling below its 9-day and 20-day EMAs. For ZEC to reverse its course, it needs to reclaim these EMAs and break through $488. Both XRP and ZEC had a strong 2025 but need a sudden change to finish the year strong.

Ethereum's price is facing pressure due to significant outflows from Grayscale's Ethereum ETF (ETHE), which has seen nearly $5 billion in redemptions because of its high fees. While other Ethereum ETFs are experiencing inflows, Grayscale's selling is overshadowing these gains and creating uncertainty in the market. The total net assets in Ethereum ETFs are around $19.15 billion, representing about 5.2% of Ethereum's total market value. Technically, Ethereum's price is in a downtrend, trading around $3,002, and needs to break above $3,087 to show signs of recovery. A meme coin called Maxi Doge is gaining popularity, having raised over $4.20 million in its presale, offering staking rewards and community engagement features.

Donald Trump is considering several candidates to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair when Powell's term ends in May. Trump has already conducted interviews with candidates. The short list includes current Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, former governor Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett, and Rick Rieder, who runs fixed income for BlackRock. Kevin Hassett is considered a top contender, arguing the Fed made mistakes on inflation and advocating for deeper rate cuts. Hassett wants a 50 basis point cut next month. Christopher Waller, also a Fed board member, supports rate cuts due to a slowing job market. Michelle Bowman also supports rate cuts and opposed Michael Barrs Basel III plan, which wouldve raised capital requirements by 20%. Kevin Warsh criticized Powell for overspending and money printing leading to inflation. Rick Rieder of BlackRock believes a December rate cut is overdue due to labor problems.

Bitcoin's price is currently around $91,268, reflecting a 6% increase over the past week. However, analysts suggest this recent upward movement might not indicate a sustained trend. For Bitcoin to demonstrate genuine bullish momentum, it needs to surpass the $96,000 to $99,000 resistance level. If the price falls below the recent weekly low, it could potentially drop to between $70,000 and $66,000. Liquidation data reveals significant clusters of potential liquidations between $86,800 and $88,000 and between $94,000 and $94,650, indicating areas of potential price volatility. Total liquidations over the last 24 hours amounted to approximately $93 million, showing a market that's currently indecisive and sensitive to key price levels.

Kazakhstan's central bank (NBK) is considering investing between $50 million and $300 million in crypto assets using its gold and foreign exchange reserves. This potential investment follows the creation of a dedicated portfolio within the bank's reserves for high-tech stocks and digital asset-related instruments. However, the NBK is proceeding cautiously due to the recent crypto market downturn, which saw a significant drop in market capitalization and Bitcoin's value. While the necessary legal and operational infrastructure is in place, the bank will delay any investment until the market stabilizes and more favorable opportunities arise. Kazakhstan is already expanding its presence in the crypto space, including the launch of the Alem Crypto Fund, supported by Binance, and previous announcements of a $1 billion national cryptocurrency fund planned for future deployment.

Cardano's ADA price has fallen by over 31% in November, underperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum. Key indicators suggest further price declines are possible unless market conditions change. A Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) breakdown indicates weakened large money flow, similar to a previous event that led to a 20% price drop. Additionally, the Spent Coins Age Band shows a roughly 23% increase in ADA being moved, reaching the highest weekly level, implying increased supply. If ADA breaks below the $0.386 support level, it could fall to $0.354 and potentially $0.302. For a recovery, ADA needs to break above $0.438, accompanied by a positive CMF and a decrease in spent-coin activity. Currently trading near $0.419, ADA shows no immediate signs of recovery.

Bitcoin's price is around $91,400, a slight increase from yesterday, as traders consider potential risks in the global financial system. Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, is warning about a possible financial crash. One factor is Japan's changing financial policies, which are causing investors to sell off investments funded by cheap yen loans. This could reduce the money available for investments like Bitcoin. Technically, Bitcoin is showing signs of recovery. It bounced back from a support level of $81,028 and is testing a resistance level of $92,800. A move above this level could lead to further gains, potentially reaching $103,000 and then $108,000. There's also mention of a new meme coin called Maxi Doge, which has raised $4.20 million in its presale and offers staking rewards.

Bitcoin's price has stabilized around $91,000 after recovering from a drop to below $81,000 earlier in the week. This recovery represents a gain of over $10,000 since last Friday. While Bitcoin has been relatively stable over the weekend, some altcoins have shown varying performance. HYPE, AVAX, and ZEC have experienced significant drops in the past day. Over the week, ETH and XRP have increased by more than 7%, while SOL and HYPE have gained 5%. Other altcoins like XMR, XLM, AVAX, SUI, SHIB, CC, and AAVE have also seen weekly gains. However, ZEC has fallen by over 21% since last Sunday. Overall, the total crypto market capitalization has increased by over $300 billion since last Friday.

Dogecoin is currently trading near $0.149 as of November 29, 2025, showing a weekly gain of 9.5% and holding a market capitalization of $22.5 billion. The price is finding strong support around $0.08, which has historically acted as a price floor. Analysts suggest that this support level, along with the cryptocurrency's proximity to its 200-period moving average, presents a potentially favorable entry point for buyers. If Dogecoin can break through the immediate resistance near $0.20-$0.205, the next target could be $0.27, with a longer-term projection of reaching $1. However, factors like market volatility, Bitcoin's performance, and overall economic conditions will significantly influence Dogecoin's price. A recent buy-side trade setup targeted a profit at $0.15979 from an entry at $0.15039, following a strategy that considers market liquidity. Investors should conduct thorough research and manage risk before investing, using reliable sources for real-time data.

SUI cryptocurrency has decreased by approximately 4% to around $1.51, although it's still up 14.1% over the past week. Trading volume for SUI is about $425 million. Its market capitalization remains around $5.56 billion. Technical indicators suggest that bearish momentum is slowing, but a bullish reversal isn't confirmed yet. Analysts are watching for a potential bounce from the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, and suggest it could potentially reach $2.20 - $3.00 in the short term. Longer-term projections envision SUI possibly reaching the $10-$20 range if the ecosystem grows.

Indian police have dismantled a fraud ring operating from a fake call center in Ayyappa society that targeted Australian citizens. The criminals, trained to mimic Australian accents, sent fake pop-ups and emails claiming victims' computers were compromised and provided a fake customer care number. When victims called, the scammers gained remote access to their computers using AnyDesk and illegally transferred funds from their bank accounts to Australian accounts owned by Indian nationals who previously lived in Australia. The funds were then routed through digital assets and other local methods into India. Police arrested nine telecallers but two key individuals remain at large. The fraud ring is estimated to have amassed between Rs. 8 crore and Rs. 10 crore over the past year.

Robert Kiyosaki issued a warning about the declining purchasing power of fiat currency, claiming that $100 in 1900 is now worth only $3.80 in 2025. He advocates for adopting new financial strategies and alternative assets to combat currency erosion. Kiyosaki mentioned his investments in silver, gold, Bitcoin (since 2019), and Ethereum (since 2023) as part of his strategy to store value. He also stated that he bought a $4.5 million property using gold purchased in 2000. This prompted widespread discussion among crypto investors regarding the long-term value of cryptocurrencies and their potential as a hedge against inflation. His comments fueled debates about self-custody, long-term investing, and the comparison between fiat currency devaluation and digital assets with limited supply, encouraging people to rethink their approach to storing value.

TRON (TRX) is currently trading around $0.28, showing slight gains but remaining within a well-defined trading range. Buyers are defending the $0.26 to $0.27 support level. Technical indicators suggest a possible trend reversal, with bullish divergence appearing on the three-day chart. The TRX/BTC pair is testing a six-year resistance level, and a breakout could signal significant outperformance against Bitcoin. TRON's network activity remains strong, consistently ranking among the top blockchains in daily active addresses. Traders are watching to see if TRX can hold its current support and move towards the $0.40-$0.45 range; breaking below current support would delay any potential upward movement.

This week in African crypto news, Ghana's Gold Board is exploring using blockchain technology to track gold shipments, aiming to increase transparency and prevent illegal activities. The goal is to have a system in place by the end of 2026 to verify the origin of gold. In South Africa, the Reserve Bank is raising concerns about the potential risks of cryptocurrencies and stablecoins to the country's financial stability, noting that over 7.8 million South Africans hold crypto assets. They are particularly concerned about the large sums of money involved and the lack of regulatory oversight, as well as billions in USD stablecoin trade. The University of Namibia has launched a new master's program in blockchain technology, partnering with the African Blockchain Institute, with applications now open to students.

Stellar (XLM) is currently holding steady around $0.25, but its open interest, which indicates speculative activity, is decreasing. This suggests traders are taking profits and unwinding positions rather than initiating new ones. While XLM has a market capitalization above $8.19 billion and daily trading volume of approximately $157 million, its price action shows consolidation after a recent rally. Despite its utility in cross-border payments, XLM is facing long-term downward pressure since its peak in mid-summer. Momentum indicators show signs of stabilization, but overall, the cryptocurrency's price is compressing as investors await further confirmation before making fresh investments.

The Sei Network experienced a surge in activity on its decentralized exchanges (DEXs) in November, exceeding $500 million in volume. The 30-day cumulative volume reached approximately $411.7 million, indicating consistent trader engagement. Analysts point to the network's high-speed execution and optimized trading flows as contributing factors, along with increasing liquidity incentives. A market-cap model suggests that Sei is undervalued compared to Tron, with the potential for significant upside if it achieves similar valuation levels. Sei's price traded near $0.14, experiencing a slight pullback after an initial rise, with traders watching the $0.141 level for potential upward continuation.

Bitcoin experienced a significant downturn in November 2025, marking its second-worst monthly performance of the year with a 17.28% drop, slightly less than February's 17.39% decline. This also represents Bitcoin's steepest November fall since 2022. The price struggles in November were influenced by several factors including the market volatility stemming from Donald Trump's tariff increases in October, and the impact of a US government shutdown that reduced liquidity. Bitcoin also experienced large outflows from Bitcoin ETFs totaling $3.48 billion, which is the second-largest monthly outflow since their launch in 2024. Furthermore, short-term investors engaged in panic selling, with realized losses reaching levels not seen since November 2022. Bitcoin's price briefly dipped below $80,000 during the month before recovering to $90,773.

Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has cautioned Zcash against using token-based voting systems for governance. His warning came as Zcash experienced a significant price increase of 1500% in November 2025. Buterin believes that token voting, where holders of the cryptocurrency get to vote on important decisions, could harm Zcash's privacy features. He argues that token holders might prioritize short-term financial gains over protecting privacy, which is the core mission of Zcash. He also highlights the risk of hidden vote buying, where wealthy individuals could secretly influence the outcomes of votes. This intervention occurred amidst discussions about Zcash's future governance, during a pilot program for token-based grants. The program, involving over $500 million in grants, saw a low participation rate of 7.5% among token holders, raising concerns about engagement and the legitimacy of this governance approach. Buterin's concerns reflect the tension between decentralization and effective governance, suggesting that token voting may concentrate power among large token holders, potentially undermining Zcash's commitment to privacy.

Charles Hoskinson, the founder of Cardano, believes that Donald Trump's recent shift toward a pro-cryptocurrency stance has interfered with the typical four-year market cycle observed in the crypto market. The article highlights Hoskinson's view that this political development has introduced an unexpected variable, potentially altering the predictable patterns of price fluctuations and overall market behavior that crypto investors have come to anticipate every four years.

According to analyst Egrag Crypto, XRP's price is at a critical juncture. To maintain bullish momentum, XRP needs to close above $2.60 on the monthly chart. A close above $3.40 would confirm a super-bullish breakout, potentially leading to new all-time highs. Conversely, a close below the 21-month EMA, around $1.83-$1.90, would signal a severe failure of the bullish trend. In related news, 21Shares' US Spot XRP ETF (TOXR) has received SEC approval and will launch on Monday, potentially bringing institutional investment to XRP.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETFs have become their top revenue generators, outperforming the company's older and more established ETFs. This indicates a significant shift in investor interest towards Bitcoin and its increasing importance as an asset class within BlackRock's investment offerings. The Bitcoin ETFs' rapid growth in revenue highlights their strong performance and investor demand relative to BlackRock's other ETF products.

Dogecoin's price is currently around $0.1489, showing a slight decrease of about 1.58% in the last 24 hours. Trading activity has also decreased, with volume down by 33.74% to approximately $779 million. However, Dogecoin has gained over 7% in the past week. Analysts are watching the $0.205 level as a potential trigger for further price increases, with a target of $0.27 if that level is reached. Predictions for Dogecoin's price in 2025 vary, with some expecting it to reach above $0.33 and possibly test its all-time high of $0.74, while others predict a more modest range between $0.17 and $0.189.

SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce reiterated her support for crypto self-custody, emphasizing the importance of financial freedom and privacy in transactions. Her comments come as a crypto market structure bill, the Digital Asset Market Structure Clarity Act, is expected to be delayed until 2026, though it will include provisions for self-custody, asset taxonomy and anti-money laundering regulations. Concurrently, there is a shift among large Bitcoin holders from self-custody to ETFs, driven by tax benefits, ease of management, and the ability to manage wealth through financial advisors. BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has seen significant inflows. Bitcoin analyst PlanB also announced transferring his Bitcoin to ETFs to simplify management, moving away from the complexities of self-custody.

Shiba Inu has suggested a new addition to its network, prompting considerable speculation within its community. The details of this potential addition remain undisclosed, but the announcement follows heightened community interest and anticipation.

The crypto market experienced a slight shift as the Fear & Greed Index moved from 20 to 28, exiting the "extreme fear" zone on November 29, 2025. Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance, reiterated his stance that periods of high fear can present buying opportunities. Bitcoin's price was around $91,352 during this time. A significant increase was observed in tokenized U.S. Treasury funds, reaching over $7 billion, indicating growing on-chain adoption for stable yield investments. Major cryptocurrencies showed mixed performance, with Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing gains of 1.62% and 2.26% respectively. The CMC20 Index recorded a 1.95% daily gain, with the wider market cap standing at $3.09 trillion. Despite the small improvement in sentiment, the market soon reverted back towards the fear zone.

South Korea's Financial Services Commission (FSC) is tightening AML rules by expanding the Travel Rule to include even small crypto transactions under 1 million Won (approximately $680), requiring senders' and receivers' details to be disclosed.

Bitcoin mining difficulty is predicted to increase in December, impacting miner profitability which is currently near record lows. The adjustment, expected around December 11th, will see difficulty rise from 149.30 trillion to 149.80 trillion. The hashprice, which measures miner profitability, is around $38.3 PH/s per day, still below the $40 PH/s break-even point for many miners. The reduced profitability is affecting the mining hardware supply chain, with manufacturers like Bitdeer turning to self-mining due to decreased demand. Miners are exploring alternative revenue streams like AI data and compute services; Cipher Mining, for example, secured a $5.5 billion deal with Amazon Web Services. The mining industry is facing challenges including regulatory restrictions like the Abu Dhabi ban on using agricultural land for crypto mining and a US Department of Homeland Security probe into Bitmain, the dominant ASIC manufacturer, raising concerns about potential supply chain disruptions.
