A trader, CryptoELITES, is predicting a potential surge in the value of altcoins (cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin), drawing comparisons to a similar period in late 2020. This prediction is based on observed patterns where Bitcoin dominance is decreasing, and funds are potentially shifting into altcoins. Bitcoin's market dominance has decreased by 5.13% over the last five months, sitting near 60% as its price has also declined 15% in the past 30 days, indicating a possible cooling phase. If historical trends continue, altcoins could potentially increase in value by up to 50x. Currently, the Altcoin Season Index is 39 out of 100, indicating a Bitcoin season, but this could change if the predicted trend plays out.

The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS have issued new guidelines allowing crypto ETFs to stake digital assets and distribute staking rewards to investors. This move aims to increase investor benefits and innovation. The IRS established a safe harbor for crypto ETFs structured as grantor trusts to stake without corporate taxation, imposing operational requirements such as staking through unrelated providers, continuous staking (with some exceptions), and quarterly distribution of rewards. All staking rewards will be treated as taxable income. While this provides clarity, some tax questions remain unresolved, including the treatment of staking income for tax-exempt entities and foreign investors.

The price of Uniswap's UNI token increased by 35% after a proposal was made to change how the platform operates. This proposal involves redirecting a portion of trading fees to buy and burn UNI tokens, reducing the total supply. The increase in price saw the asset gain 74% over the last seven days, outpacing the broader crypto market. Analysts predict that this change could result in a significant amount of UNI tokens being burned annually, potentially creating a supply shortage and driving the price even higher. The proposal also aims to address concerns about governance centralization by aligning the incentives of Uniswap Labs with the interests of the broader community, including immediately burning 100 million UNI from the project's treasury.

HBAR's price jumped over 10% to around $0.19, accompanied by a massive surge in trading volume, indicating strong buyer interest. Analysts predict potential price increases, with targets ranging from $0.23 and $0.30 to as high as $0.50, $0.60, and even $0.96. The derivatives market reflects this bullish sentiment, with rising trading volume, open interest, and a positive funding rate, suggesting traders are actively betting on HBAR's continued upward trend.

Softbank is increasing its focus on Artificial Intelligence (AI) through investments in companies like PayPay, ChatGPT, and OpenAI. This strategy contributed to a $19 billion gain for Softbank's Vision Fund in the second quarter. Specifically, Softbank plans to invest an additional $22.5 billion in OpenAI via Vision Fund 2. The company's AI-related revenue saw substantial growth, reaching new highs with a 93% annualized increase. Softbank's Q2 net profit more than doubled to $16.6 billion, driven by valuation gains from its OpenAI holdings. To attract more investors, Softbank will implement a four-for-one stock split. The company has been raising funds through various means, including bond issuances and the sale of its Nvidia shares, to fuel its AI investments. While benefiting from OpenAI's growth, concerns exist about a potential AI bubble and the justification of the substantial investments.

Square has updated its platform to allow sellers to choose whether to receive payments in Bitcoin (BTC) or US dollars (USD) after each sale. Merchants can also swap between Bitcoin and US dollars within the Square ecosystem, converting BTC to USD, USD to BTC, or either currency to itself. This provides flexibility for merchants who want to manage digital assets, hedge against inflation, or mitigate Bitcoin's price volatility. According to a survey, over 25% of US merchants plan to accept cryptocurrency payments by next year. Square's CashApp will also support Bitcoin payment options to create easier crypto transactions.

Following Uniswap's 30% price increase due to a new proposal, there's hope for a recovery in the broader DeFi market. Traders are watching AAVE, Synthetix (SNX), and Compound (COMP) to see if they will also increase in value. AAVE's price may rise briefly but lacks strong trading volume support. Synthetix (SNX) is showing signs of a potential price increase towards $1 and possibly higher. Compound (COMP) might drop to around $31.5 before potentially rebounding. Whether this is the start of a larger DeFi recovery depends on Bitcoin's stability and continued investment in these alternative cryptocurrencies.

Polymarket users are being targeted by a phishing scam in the platform's comment section, with over $500,000 reportedly stolen. Hackers are posting links disguised as private markets with better odds, which lead to fake login pages designed to steal user credentials and cryptocurrency. These malicious links, when clicked, can execute commands that steal data and allow the hackers to access user accounts. Additionally, a new study from Columbia University alleges that approximately 25% of Polymarket's trading volume over the past three years may be due to wash trading, or artificial trading. The study suggests this inflated volume could distort the understanding of Polymarket's true market activity and reliability.

The altcoin market has experienced a surge, adding approximately $158 billion in value in about a week. This growth suggests a shift in investment towards alternative cryptocurrencies. The article highlights three altcoins as potential opportunities. PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is a new project with a virtual mining simulator and staking rewards. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is presented as a meme coin with staking and tiered pricing. Dogecoin ($DOGE) is mentioned as a well-established and liquid meme cryptocurrency. These three coins cater to different investment preferences, from new projects to established ones.

LivLive is a new crypto project with a presale that has already raised over $2,077,000. Analysts suggest it has strong potential, rewarding early participants. LivLive is currently in Stage 1 of its presale, with the $LIVE token priced at $0.02, and it is expected to reach $0.20 by Stage 10, with a launch price target of $0.25. The project aims to build a live-to-earn ecosystem using AR and a wearable wristband, rewarding users for real-world activity and engagement. A limited-time Flash Sale offers bonus tokens: 100% for purchases up to $2,000 and 200% for purchases of $2,000 or more, potentially tripling initial investments. LivLive also features a $2.5M Treasure Vault reward system, including an NFT Key for access and multiple opportunities to win prizes during the presale phase.

Representatives from Polygon and Anq, companies involved with cryptocurrency and digital assets, met with Sanjeev Sanyal, a leading economic advisor to India's Prime Minister Modi. They discussed topics like tokenization, stablecoins, and general innovation in digital assets. This meeting indicates the Indian government is increasingly interested in developing regulations and strategies for digital finance within the country.

Today's crypto market shows a downturn, with the total market capitalization decreasing by 1.9% to $3.54 trillion. Market sentiment indicates fear, and the average crypto Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral. Bitcoin's price decreased by 1.49% over the last 24 hours, trading around $105,367, even after the US government shutdown ended. Institutional buying, like Strategy Inc. adding 487 more coins is not moving the needle. Bitcoin's price may continue to decline in the short term, potentially reaching $100,000 or even $96,800 if key support levels are breached. Ethereum shows signs of strength, holding above $3,500, buoyed by $1.37 billion in institutional investments. It is trading around $3,580. Ethereum is testing the 100-day EMA at $3,648. Market analysts are cautiously optimistic, with some projecting Ethereum could reach $10,000 to $12,000 by year-end, but a drop below $3,425 could reverse this trend. CryptoQuant data suggests Bitcoin whales have been selling off since its price reached $100,000. Bitcoin's price is being maintained due to Strategy and BTC Spot ETFs buying. According to SoSoValue, these ETFs are seeing $1.15 million in daily inflows. If Strategy slows down its buying of BTC and ETF inflows drop, sellers could wrestle back control again.

Despite new money entering the crypto market, prices aren't significantly increasing. The global crypto market capitalization only increased by a small amount. Bitcoin and Ethereum are stable, while some altcoins are doing well and others are slowing down. A large amount of USDT, a type of stablecoin, was recently created, but the total amount of stablecoins in the market hasn't increased much. The supply of stablecoins has grown significantly more than Bitcoin's price over the past year. This suggests that the new money is being held as stablecoins on exchanges instead of being used to buy cryptocurrencies. Some expect that if the Federal Reserve eases monetary policy, this could encourage people to start buying crypto and cause a rally. Currently, market depth is thin, open interest is unstable, and Bitcoin dominance hasnt dropped, indicating no rotation into altcoins.

The values of the memecoins TRUMP and MELANIA have recently increased significantly, sparking renewed interest in the meme coin market. This has led to investors looking at other meme coins with potential for growth. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project aiming to improve Bitcoin transaction speeds, has raised over $26.8 million in its presale and its token is currently priced at $0.013255. Maxi Doge ($MAXI), another memecoin focused on community and staking, is in presale at $0.0002675. Useless Coin ($USELESS), a meme coin already available on exchanges, has a market capitalization of $185 million and is currently priced at $0.18. These three coins represent different ways to invest in the meme coin market, each with its own level of risk and potential reward. The article states that meme coins are volatile and readers should do their own research before investing.

Crypto hacks are increasing, with losses in 2025 already exceeding the $2.2 billion stolen in 2024. A major $1.5 billion exploit at Bybit is a significant contributor. This is driving demand for safer crypto storage solutions, particularly non-custodial wallets that give users control of their private keys. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is a utility token for the Best Wallet, which uses multi-party computation (MPC) to secure keys and offers features like fraud protection and MEV shielding. The $BEST token presale has raised over $16.9 million and is set to end on November 28. The wallet also has WalletConnect Certified status and a built-in DEX to improve security and usability.

China is accusing the United States of seizing 127,000 Bitcoins, worth about $13 billion, that were stolen in a 2020 hack from the LuBian mining pool. The Chinese National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) alleges the U.S. government's actions were part of a larger state-sponsored hacking operation. They claim the movement of the Bitcoins to U.S. government-controlled wallets in mid-2024 supports their accusations. The U.S. Department of Justice denies these claims, stating the seizure was a legitimate law enforcement action against illegal cryptocurrency activity. The original hack in 2020 was linked to Cambodian businessman Chen Zhi, who is now indicted in the U.S. for cryptocurrency fraud.

Gemini's performance declined after it failed to meet anticipated earnings figures in its first financial report since becoming a publicly traded company. This negative earnings surprise has led to a downturn for the company.

CleanSpark, a major Bitcoin mining company, is planning to raise $1.15 billion by selling convertible notes to investors. The company intends to use $460 million of these funds to buy back its own stock. The remaining funds will be used to expand their Bitcoin mining operations and invest in artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, including data centers. This move reflects a broader trend in the Bitcoin mining industry, where companies are looking to diversify into AI to increase profits, especially after the recent Bitcoin halving which reduced mining rewards. Other companies like IREN, Core Scientific, and TeraWulf are also making similar moves towards AI and high-performance computing. TeraWulf's revenue recently increased due to rising Bitcoin prices and AI infrastructure leasing. However, Bitcoin mining profitability is currently low due to high energy costs and declining Bitcoin prices, making AI a potentially more profitable alternative.

SUI Group Holdings (SUIG) is lending 2 million SUI tokens to Bluefin, a decentralized trading platform, to increase liquidity and develop new financial products on the Sui blockchain. In return, SUIG will receive 5% of Bluefin's revenue in SUI tokens. The goal is to attract institutional investors like hedge funds and asset managers to decentralized finance (DeFi) on the Sui network. Bluefin's trading volume reached $4.2 billion per month by August 2025, and its total value locked (TVL) has grown to $150 million since May 2025. This partnership aims to further expand Bluefin's growth and integrate traditional finance with blockchain technology, potentially improving pricing and efficiency on Bluefin's platform.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) is experiencing a temporary recovery after a period of stability, raising expectations for a significant price increase. This rebound coincides with Bitcoin's rise above $107,000, which has also positively impacted other cryptocurrencies.

BlockchainFX ($BFX) is offering a presale for its token, highlighting its multi-asset trading platform with over 10,000 daily users. The platform shares up to 70% of trading fees with token holders in USDT. A key development is the acquisition of an international trading license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA), aiming to enhance credibility and global market access. To celebrate, BlockchainFX is providing a limited-time bonus of 50% more BFX tokens using the code LICENSE50 during the presale. The presale price started at $0.01 and is currently at $0.03, increasing every Monday until the confirmed launch price of $0.05. Over $11 million has been raised from more than 17,500 participants, with five confirmed CEX listings. They are giving away $500,000 and staking credits. The article contrasts this with Avalanche (AVAX), which is currently trading around $16.29 after a decline from higher levels, emphasizing the importance of timing and structure in crypto investments. The presale aims to provide a more structured entry point with predictable pricing and real income opportunities compared to chasing market dips.

EtherMail is integrating with Telegram to allow wallet-verified messaging for Telegram's 1 billion users. This integration enables users to receive messages directly in Telegram that are signed and verified by cryptocurrency wallets. A key feature is Read2Earn, where users earn EMT tokens for engaging with these messages, such as those related to governance votes, airdrops, or NFT mints. Users can link their EtherMail wallet with their Telegram account through the EtherMail app, allowing them to earn tokens for interacting with messages. EtherMail has tested this model with 49 million connected wallets and 2.7 million verified users, and has raised over $7 million in funding. The goal is to make Web3 communication more secure and reduce scams, moving away from informal Telegram communication.

Brazil is increasing its regulation of cryptocurrencies, with the Central Bank set to oversee all digital asset firms by February 2026. Crypto companies must request authorization to operate and follow rules similar to banks, including internal controls, cybersecurity, and customer protection. Companies failing to comply have until November 2026 to exit the market. Stablecoin transactions and international crypto transfers will be treated as foreign exchange operations, with limits on transfers involving unauthorized platforms set at $100,000 per transaction. Brazil is also considering a proposal to allocate $19 billion to purchase Bitcoin as a national reserve asset.

The U.S. Senate passed a resolution to end a 41-day government shutdown, awaiting House and Presidential approval. Historically, Bitcoin has seen significant price increases after shutdowns ended, with surges of 96% and 157% following similar resolutions in 2018 and 2019. President Trump also proposed a 'tariff dividend,' potentially providing $2,000 to each American, a move that could inject significant liquidity into the economy. This proposed stimulus, alongside the end of the shutdown, could act as fiscal stimulus which typically boosts assets like Bitcoin. Despite positive signals, some analysts suggest a potential 15-20% Bitcoin correction is possible due to overvaluation, though the timing remains uncertain. Currently, Bitcoin remains stable around $105,300.

JPMorgan and DBS Bank are collaborating to develop a framework for cross-border transactions using tokenized deposits. This framework aims to streamline and improve the efficiency of moving money between different countries. The partnership focuses on leveraging blockchain technology to represent deposits as digital tokens, which can then be transferred more quickly and at a potentially lower cost than traditional methods. The intended outcome is a more seamless and efficient system for international payments and settlements.

Bitcoin is holding steady around $105,000 while Uniswap's UNI token has surged by 50% due to proposed governance changes. These changes include burning UNI tokens, funneling revenue into a burn pool, and implementing fee discount auctions. This update significantly boosted UNI's price, reaching $8.30. The market is also anticipating the public token sale of Monad, a Layer-1 blockchain, which is set to begin on Coinbase on November 17th at a price of $0.025 per MON. Monad aims to offer high transaction speeds and Ethereum compatibility. Aptos is preparing for a token unlock of 11.3 million APT tokens, which could put pressure on its price. Cardano's ADA is maintaining its position above $0.50, with Grayscale highlighting its flexibility and scalability, hinting at a potential move. There are also meme tokens rising like MELANIA and TRUMP.

Bitcoin's price is dropping as large Bitcoin holders, known as whales, are selling off significant amounts of their holdings. This selling pressure is offsetting efforts to push Bitcoin back up to $100,000 after it dipped below that mark for the first time in five months. Roughly $45 billion worth of Bitcoin was sold by long-term investors in the past month, contributing to the price decline. Some analysts believe this trend could continue into next year, potentially pushing Bitcoin as low as $85,000. There's evidence that some of these large holders are shifting their investments from Bitcoin to other assets, like ETFs and new blockchain projects. However, some market observers think this is a healthy correction and that Bitcoin could see a rally again in the future.

This article provides updates on the meme coin market as of November 11, 2025, highlighting the potential for high returns, but also emphasizing the high-risk nature of these investments. It mentions that the meme coin market capitalization is over $58 billion. The article then focuses on three specific meme coins: Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Maxi Doge ($MAXI), and PepeNode ($PEPENODE). Further, the article highlights that MicroStrategy increased its Bitcoin holdings by 457 $BTC for approximately $49.95 million, bringing their total to 641,692 $BTC, while also noting that retail investors are looking at meme coins like Bitcoin Hyper. Bitcoin Hyper, is described as a Layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, has raised $26.8 million in its presale, with tokens priced at $0.013255 and offering 43% APY staking. Finally, Square is rolling out Bitcoin payments to over 4 million merchants, offering instant, zero-fee settlement until 2027, which reinforces $BTCs role in everyday commerce.

Bitcoin is at a critical juncture, according to Bloomberg Intelligence's Mike McGlone. After falling from $123,500 in early October to around $99,900 in early November, it's now hovering around $106,350, about 14% below its October high. A key level to watch is the 200-day moving average near $110,000. If Bitcoin can climb above this, it could signal renewed growth. However, if it falls below the $100,000-$110,000 range, it could trigger further price drops. There are some positive signs, such as Michael Saylor's firm purchasing $50 million worth of Bitcoin and a slight increase in market sentiment. However, exchange-traded funds saw outflows of $1.22 billion last week. Factors like progress on a US government shutdown deal and potential tariff dividends are providing short-term support. Whether Bitcoin can hold above $100,000 or reclaim $110,000 will determine its near-term direction.

Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) data is now available on Google BigQuery's public datasets, allowing for large-scale analysis alongside chains like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This integration wasn't initiated by Google but was led by entities aligned with Hedera Hashgraph, including the Hedera Foundation, Ariane Labs, and engineers from Hashgraph and Hedera. This allows developers, analysts, and enterprises to query the full transaction history of the Hedera network alongside other major blockchains. The move provides an institutional-grade view of HBAR's on-chain activity without requiring users to build their own indexing systems. Following this announcement, HBAR's price increased by approximately 3.8% in the last 24 hours, outperforming the broader crypto market, and is currently trading at $0.188.

Coinbase's stock (COIN) increased by 2.9% after the company announced the launch of a regulated platform for token offerings. This new platform will allow regular investors to buy tokens directly from blockchain projects before they are listed on exchanges. The first sale will be for Monad tokens, a startup backed by Coinbase Ventures, starting November 17th. This is the first time since 2018 that U.S. retail investors can widely participate in a public token sale. The platform aims to be fair and transparent, allocating more tokens to smaller buyers first and requiring detailed disclosures. Purchases will be settled in USDC, a stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. Coinbase will host one sale per month and penalize investors who quickly sell new tokens. Analysts believe this platform could create a new revenue stream for Coinbase, with fees charged to the token issuers.

Bitcoin's price briefly surpassed $107,000 but was quickly rejected, falling back down. This followed a period of volatility where Bitcoin dropped below $100,000 before recovering. The rise to $107,000 was partly influenced by reports about the potential end of the US government shutdown. Many other cryptocurrencies experienced losses, with ZEC falling by 25%, ICP by 12.5%, and XMR by 10%. Uniswap's token (UNI) was a notable exception, increasing by 20%. Overall, the total crypto market capitalization decreased by over $50 billion.

Bitcoin's price is showing signs of potentially increasing. This movement is happening alongside the release of a draft bill that aims to establish a framework for regulating the crypto market. The draft bill is anticipated to have implications for how cryptocurrencies are managed and traded in the future.

The x402 crypto ecosystem, which allows AI agents to make automated payments, has seen a significant decrease in activity recently. Its 30-day trading volume has dropped almost 90%, and the number of transactions has also decreased. Specifically, daily transactions fell from 3 million to 1.3 million, and daily trading volume decreased from $2.8 million to around $329,000. Google searches for x402 have also declined, indicating less public interest. Despite this downturn, the x402 protocol has gained credibility through integrations with Chainlink, allowing for on-chain payouts and a reusable workflow marketplace. Additionally, Bio Protocol is using x402 for instant micropayments on Base. Due to these integrations, the total market capitalization of the X402 ecosystem has increased from $800 million in late October to over $12 billion.

Singer and Web3 marketer Coki Ramirez, who has over 1 million followers on X, created an online poll comparing XRP and Cardano. The poll is intended to assess fan preferences for major cryptocurrencies and has generated debate within the crypto community.

Ethereum (ETH) is showing signs of a potential price increase, currently trading around $3,596. It needs to break through the $3,700 resistance level to aim for $4,000. If it fails, the price could drop back to $3,400. Analysts point to strong technical indicators and significant buying activity as reasons for optimism. A key factor is the upcoming Fusaka network upgrade in late 2025, which is expected to improve Ethereum's speed and lower transaction costs. If Ethereum can maintain support above $3,700-$3,800 after the upgrade, some analysts predict it could reach $6,200. The immediate focus is on holding above $3,550 and breaking through the $3,700-$4,000 resistance to potentially start a new bullish trend.

Uniswap is proposing a major change to its protocol, aiming to boost governance participation and realign incentives within its ecosystem. The core of the proposal involves activating protocol fees, which means collecting a small fee from each transaction on Uniswap. These fees would then be used to buy and burn UNI tokens, potentially reducing the overall supply of UNI and rewarding holders. Fees from Unichain, Uniswap's scaling network, would also be directed towards this UNI burn. Uniswap Labs will discontinue separate fees for its interface and wallet products. The proposal also includes improvements to Uniswap v4 to route trades across multiple liquidity sources, and the consolidation of governance resources and personnel to Uniswap Labs to streamline growth and development efforts.

Paystand, a company that processes $20 billion in payments each year, has bought Bitwage, a crypto payroll service that has handled over $400 million in digital wages since 2014. This acquisition allows Paystand's 1,000 enterprise clients in industries like manufacturing and technology to pay salaries in stablecoins like USDC and USDT. This aims to eliminate delays, weekend cutoffs, and foreign exchange fees associated with traditional payroll. Bitwage's infrastructure supports over 90,000 workers and freelancers and will prioritize layer-2 solutions and Solana for faster transactions. Stablecoin transfers have significantly increased, reaching $9 trillion in 2025, and a survey shows most financial officers see stablecoins as a competitive advantage. The crypto payroll market, which includes companies like Deel and Rippling, is projected to reach $6.38 billion by 2033.

An Argentine judge has frozen assets related to the LIBRA memecoin following allegations of a significant fraud. The freeze affects U.S. businessman Hayden Davis and two crypto operators, Orlando Mellino and Favio Rodriguez, due to suspicious wallet activity. This action follows a request from a prosecutor who cited reports estimating that investors may have been defrauded of $100-$120 million. The investigation focuses on a $507,500 transfer made by Davis shortly after President Javier Milei posted a selfie with him on social media. Investigators are tracing multimillion-dollar withdrawals from LIBRAs liquidity pools to exchanges like Bitget and Gate.io, with around $90 million moved through consolidation addresses, suggesting close ties to the LIBRA creator team. The memecoin briefly surged after Milei's post in February and then crashed. Leaked messages from Davis worsened the situation, fueling accusations that Milei's image was used to promote the token before investors lost funds.

Crypto prices are rising because the US government is reopening after a shutdown that started on October 1, 2025. The shutdown, caused by Congress failing to agree on budget issues, lasted over 40 days and cost an estimated $14 billion in GDP. The Senate passed a bill to fund operations until January 2026, leading to increased market confidence. Bitcoin's price exceeded $106,000, and other cryptocurrencies also saw gains. Additionally, a proposal by Donald Trump to issue $2,000 stimulus checks, funded by tariffs, is adding to the positive sentiment. This idea is similar to the 2020-2021 stimulus checks that helped fuel a previous crypto bull run, and the expectation of this influx of cash is driving market enthusiasm.

The Peoples Bank of China (PBOC) is taking steps to promote the yuan as a global currency. The central bank will offer loans, trade financing, and yuan-denominated bonds to overseas companies and banks to encourage the use of the yuan for international trade and investment. Borrowing in yuan is intended to be cheaper than borrowing in U.S. dollars. The PBOC aims to increase the availability of yuan outside China so banks and governments can borrow it without facing shortages. According to Swift, the yuan was the second most used currency in trade finance in September, accounting for 7.3% of transactions. In 2023, panda and Dim Sum bonds raised approximately 1.4 trillion yuan, while offshore commercial bank loans in yuan reached 2 trillion yuan, a 14% increase from the previous year. This initiative supports China's goal of reducing reliance on the U.S. dollar.

An Argentine judge has frozen assets connected to the LIBRA memecoin situation due to suspected fraud. This involves Hayden Davis, an associate of President Milei, and crypto operators Orlando Mellino and Favio Rodriguez. Davis is being investigated for a $507,500 transfer after a social media post with the President. Mellino and Rodriguez are under scrutiny for possible money laundering, related to moving money between Davis and others linked to LIBRA. The LIBRA memecoin project collapsed, causing significant financial losses to many retail investors.

Aptos (APT) is facing potential price pressure due to an upcoming token unlock of 11.3 million APT tokens, worth approximately $38 million, scheduled for November 12, 2025. This unlock represents roughly 0.96% of the total supply. The price is currently around $3.3 and is testing support levels near the $2.8-$3 range. Analysts are concerned that the increased supply could lead to a price correction, potentially retesting the $2.80 mark. However, strong buying pressure could absorb the new tokens and lead to a rebound. Aptos is also working on ecosystem expansion through partnerships and integrations, which could help stabilize the price in the $3.30-$3.50 range by the end of December if successful.

China has accused the United States of stealing 127,000 Bitcoin through a hacking operation. This accusation centers around a high-profile crypto hack, although the article does not provide further details of the incident.

Square has enabled Bitcoin payments for its 4 million merchants, allowing customers to pay using Bitcoin's Lightning Network for fast transactions. Merchants can easily activate this feature through their Square dashboard and receive payments with zero processing fees. This move aims to integrate Bitcoin payments into mainstream retail. Block, Square's parent company, has strengthened its compliance measures to encourage adoption by larger merchants. Simultaneously, a new crypto project called Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is gaining attention. It focuses on creating a user-friendly crypto wallet to manage Bitcoin and other digital assets. The $BEST token presale has raised over $16.9 million, with 77% of participants staking their tokens. The presale token price is $0.025925. The project aims to incentivize user retention through staking rewards and governance features. One analysis forecasts a potential price of $0.62 for $BEST by the end of 2026.

Shiba Inu's price is currently struggling to overcome resistance from two downward-sloping trendlines. A crypto analyst suggests that if the price breaks through these resistance levels, it could potentially increase by 94%. The price has been repeatedly rejected at these trendlines, indicating significant selling pressure.

Filecoin's price has decreased after falling below important price levels that previously acted as support. This means the price dropped below levels where buyers were expected to step in and prevent further decline, indicating potential further downward price movement.

Ethereum's price has recently fallen from $4,960 to around $3,000, a drop some analysts compare to a similar correction in 2020 before a major price increase. Ethereum is currently trading above $3,500. Key support for Ethereum is between $3,000 and $3,100, and holding above this level could lead to a recovery. A trendline that has supported the price since April remains intact, but the 20-day EMA is acting as resistance around $3,695. Large Ethereum holders reportedly started buying when the price reached $3,200, potentially targeting prices between $4,500 and $4,800 if support holds. However, some large holders have also sold or redistributed their holdings recently. Trading volume and open interest are at record levels. BitMine reported holding 3.5 million ETH valued at $3,639 each.

Ripple's XRP has recently gained almost 10%, trading around $2.45, but its future direction is uncertain. A key support level to watch is $2.41; failure to hold above this could lead to a drop towards $2. Conversely, a bounce could lead to a test of $2.50. Bitcoin's performance also influences XRP, with Bitcoin needing to break resistance levels to avoid a pullback. Analysts suggest XRP's price rise is also tied to expectations for spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with potential launch around November 13. Ripple's investments and valuation, along with investments from major financial firms, also contribute to confidence in XRP.

Uniswap founder Hayden Adams has proposed a significant overhaul of the platform's governance and tokenomics. The proposal aims to activate protocol fees, which would then be used to burn UNI tokens, effectively reducing the token supply. A total of 100 million UNI tokens from the treasury are suggested to be burned. The plan also includes redirecting sequencer fees from Unichain operations to the UNI burn mechanism. Uniswap Labs will cease collecting fees from its interface, wallet, and API services to encourage wider adoption. Furthermore, employees from the Uniswap Foundation will transition to Uniswap Labs under a new growth fund managed by governance. The aim is to focus Uniswap's efforts on increasing adoption while maintaining decentralization through governance oversight. The proposal includes a mechanism called Protocol Fee Discount Auctions that should improve liquidity provider outcomes and internalize MEV revenues to the protocol itself. Unisocks liquidity migration to Uniswap v4 on Unichain with subsequent burning of the liquidity position is also suggested.

The article discusses whether Bitcoin will repeat its 2019 performance following the end of a US government shutdown. In 2019, Bitcoin rose 290% in the five months after the shutdown ended, going from about $3,500 to almost $14,000. Some suggest this could happen again, potentially pushing Bitcoin to $413,400 within six months, as it currently trades around $105,000. However, the article argues that the 2019 rally was due to a recovery from a bear market, the Federal Reserve easing monetary policy, and a less mature crypto market, not just the shutdown ending. The current market is different, with higher Bitcoin prices, spot ETFs, and institutional involvement, making a similar surge less likely. While the end of the shutdown could remove some uncertainty and potentially lead to a rally, it's unlikely to replicate the conditions that caused the 2019 surge. A more realistic scenario involves a smaller gain, possibly pushing Bitcoin to around $200,000 to $260,000, driven by ETF inflows and corporate adoption, but without the excessive leverage seen in previous cycles.

CleanSpark's stock price decreased by 5% following the company's announcement that it was increasing the size of its convertible note offering to $1.15 billion. The company intends to use the funds raised from this offering for expansion purposes.

Canaccord Genuity has downgraded its rating for Northern Data to Hold from a previous Buy rating. This change reflects the acquisition of Northern Data by Rumble, indicating a shift in the company's fundamental structure and future direction. The downgrade suggests a more neutral outlook on Northern Data's stock performance following this acquisition.

The Central Bank of Brazil is introducing new regulations for virtual assets and crypto service providers, aiming to create a more organized and secure crypto market. These rules, set to take effect in February 2026, follow a year of consultations and will require crypto companies to be authorized by the Central Bank, meeting standards for customer protection, cybersecurity, and anti-money laundering. Crypto firms will be categorized as intermediaries, custodians, or brokers. The regulations also treat certain crypto transactions like foreign exchange operations, requiring identification of wallet owners and fund tracking. These changes respond to the increasing use of stablecoins and aim to reduce fraud, scams, and money laundering. Brazil's crypto market, which saw about $318.8 billion in crypto movement between July 2024 and June 2025, is the largest in Latin America and continues to grow rapidly, with stablecoins making up a significant portion of the activity.

The price of the cryptocurrency SUI is potentially aiming for $20, driven by two main developments. Firstly, SUI has formed a partnership with Bluefin. Secondly, a lending deal involving 2 million SUI tokens has been made.

Brazil's central bank has established new crypto regulations, classifying stablecoin transactions as foreign exchange operations. This means stablecoins are now subject to the same rules as traditional currencies. The new regulations, under Resolutions 519, 520, and 521, require virtual asset service providers to operate like licensed financial institutions, implementing measures for consumer protection, transaction transparency, and anti-money laundering. Transfers involving unlicensed foreign parties are capped at $100,000. Self-custody wallets used with licensed service providers will also be monitored. The new rules take full effect on February 2, 2026, with mandatory reporting starting May 4, 2026. These changes aim to bring crypto activities into Brazil's formal financial system and close gaps in compliance, though they may pose challenges for smaller crypto businesses.

Coinbase is relaunching token sales in the US, after stopping in 2018, with a new platform designed to be fairer and more transparent for investors. The first token offering will be from Monad, a Layer-1 blockchain, starting November 17th and lasting until November 22nd, offering 7.5% of Monad's total supply. Investors can bid using USDC, and an algorithm will allocate tokens, favoring smaller bids to allow more participants. To discourage quick selling, tokens flipped within 30 days of listing may result in smaller allocations in future sales. Coinbase acquired Echo, a crypto fundraising platform, for $375 million, and its technology will be used to power the new token sales platform. Furthermore, Coinbase has settled a lawsuit related to a 2021 Dogecoin sweepstakes for $2.5 million, compensating users who traded Dogecoin during the promotion with an amount matching their trading fees.

Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded to around $3,500 after a recent market dip, causing analysts to reassess its potential for an end-of-year surge. It briefly fell to $3,057 before recovering. A key short-term goal is holding the current levels to address previous market instability. Significant resistance is noted around $3,700, where many ETH were accumulated. Some large Ethereum holders (mega-whales) reduced their holdings, while others, like BitMine, saw the dip as an opportunity, purchasing $400 million worth of ETH. Predictions vary, with some suggesting a delayed rally in December or later due to a lack of correlation with US liquidity, while others anticipate a retest of highs if key support levels around $3,400-$3,500 hold, drawing parallels to a previous rally pattern.

Ethereum is attempting to recover from a month-long price decline and is currently testing resistance at $3,607. Long-term holders are reducing their selling activity, which historically helps stabilize prices. The lowest selling volume in a month from this group suggests growing confidence. Market sentiment toward Ethereum has improved significantly, reaching a two-and-a-half-month high, potentially leading to a short-term rally. If Ethereum breaks through $3,607, the next targets are $3,802 and $3,950. However, if investors sell, Ethereum could fall below the $3,489 support level, potentially dropping to $3,287, which would signal a continuation of the downtrend.

Threshold Network has updated its tBTC bridge, which allows Bitcoin to be used on different blockchains, to better accommodate institutional investors. This upgrade aims to allow institutions like ETFs, hedge funds, and custodians to use their Bitcoin in DeFi applications for earning yield or providing liquidity while keeping their Bitcoin in regulated storage. Previously, much of institutional Bitcoin was held in vaults due to compliance and insurance requirements.

The article discusses the potential XRP price increase if it were to experience a market capitalization surge similar to the one gold recently had, which saw an increase of $765 billion in a single day. It references gold dropping to $3,928 per ounce on November the unknown date.

Stellar (XLM) has increased by 7%, trading around $0.30, as traders show increased risk appetite. Futures open interest for XLM has risen by approximately 11%, reaching about $130.16 million, with long positions slightly outweighing short positions. However, XLM faces resistance from its 50, 100, and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), currently trading below these key levels. A break above these EMAs, targeting $0.37, would signal a stronger trend shift. Technical indicators show improving momentum with a bullish MACD crossover and an RSI near 49, but a recent Death Cross (50-day EMA falling below the 200-day EMA) suggests the overall trend remains bearish. A drop below $0.2520 would confirm a bearish breakdown, while a strong rebound past the EMAs toward $0.37 would indicate a more significant recovery.

Brazil's central bank has established new regulations for cryptocurrency companies operating in the country. These rules include authorization requirements and compliance standards that mirror those used for traditional financial institutions. A key aspect of these rules is a $100,000 limit on certain types of cryptocurrency transactions.

Crypto commentator James Waynn believes Shiba Inu could reach $0.10, potentially creating many new millionaires. While Shiba Inu briefly reduced its price to four zeros yesterday, it has since returned to trading with five zeros.

The cryptocurrency Rally (RLY) is currently priced around $0.00023386. Price predictions estimate that Rally could reach a high of $0.000529875 in 2025 and potentially $0.004023 by 2030. Technical analysis shows Rally consolidating near $0.0002438 with key support levels at $0.0002167 and resistance around $0.0002710. Rally is the token for the Rally Network, designed to help creators and communities build their own digital economies. The platform offers tools for developers to create user-friendly decentralized applications, including features for gasless transactions and community tokens. Despite the closure of Rally.io, the ecosystem remains active with treasury support and developer involvement, as the continued growth in platforms that support creator-driven economies increases the tokens relevance.

Privacy coins like Zcash, Dash, Monero, Verge, and Secret Network have experienced significant price increases, ranging from 20% to 700%, while the broader cryptocurrency market has declined. Zcash has seen the most dramatic rise, exceeding $600 for the first time in almost seven years, with $20 billion in futures trading volume. Dash has also increased significantly, reaching its highest level since early 2022. The trading volumes for these privacy coins have surpassed previous peaks, indicating strong investor interest. Retail trading activity has increased, particularly for Zcash and Dash, suggesting a return of 'fear of missing out' (FOMO). While Binance handles most of the privacy coin trading volume, these coins now account for 6% of total crypto trading volume. The market capitalization of privacy coins has risen sharply, reaching $41.7 billion. These coins tend to perform well when Bitcoin's price remains stable, and their recent surge is attributed to technical factors and renewed interest in digital privacy.

Standard Chartered has partnered with DCS Card Centre to introduce DeCard, a credit card that enables users to make purchases using stablecoins. Starting in Singapore, DeCard allows users to spend stablecoins at retailers, similar to traditional credit cards. Standard Chartered supports the initiative by providing virtual account services and API connectivity to facilitate payment processing. DCS Card Centre, formerly Diners Club Singapore, aims to merge traditional finance with Web3 technologies through this collaboration, with plans to expand the DeCard service globally after the initial Singapore launch.

BNB is currently trading at $984, with a key support level identified at $950, based on the 100-day Exponential Moving Average. A further support level is at $930, indicated by the lower Bollinger Band. Resistance levels are at $1000, corresponding to the 50-day EMA, and $1050, aligning with the upper Bollinger Band. The article suggests potential buying opportunities near the $950 or $930 support levels, with stop-loss orders placed below $930. Selling opportunities may arise near the $1000 or $1050 resistance levels, with a profit target of $1578. The Stochastic RSI is at 70, indicating neutral momentum. A break above the $1000 resistance could signal a bullish trend. The information is for educational purposes only and not financial advice; cryptocurrency investments are high-risk.

Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo has released a guide advising Bitcoin holders on how to protect their assets from potential future attacks by quantum computers. The guide suggests moving Bitcoin to SegWit addresses (starting with bc1q or legacy formats starting with 1 or 3) as an interim solution, and avoiding spending from those addresses until Bitcoin's security is upgraded to resist quantum computing. Woo warns against using Taproot addresses (starting with bc1p) because they expose the public key. This recommendation comes amid growing concerns that quantum computers could eventually break Bitcoin's encryption. Another analyst, Charles Edwards, criticized Woo's suggestion, arguing that SegWit offers no real quantum protection and the network needs upgrading quickly. Woo acknowledges the urgency but believes Bitcoin will adapt. Experts have different timelines for when quantum computers might pose a real risk, with some predicting it could be as early as 2028, while others say after 2030. Woo suggests Bitcoin held in ETFs and corporate treasuries could be safe if custodians take precautions. He also notes that wallet apps can take action to protect users.

Bitcoin recently experienced a price drop, falling below $100,000 after previously trading around $102,000. One analyst, MarcPMarkets, suggests that buying Bitcoin around the $100,000 level could be a good opportunity. The analyst believes that the current inflationary environment and limited Bitcoin supply make it a potentially valuable asset. The US government shutdown and potential dovish moves by the Federal Reserve, such as lowering interest rates and quantitative easing, could also positively impact Bitcoin's price. However, the analyst notes that Bitcoin needs to hold the $98,000 support level, with further support at $95,000. A drop to around $80,000 could signal a bear market. Failing to hold $88,000 implies a broader Wave 5 is likely to follow which theoretically can see a test of the 126K high.

Tesla shareholders approved Elon Musk's compensation plan, though support decreased to roughly 75% this year, down from nearly 90% in 2018. Removing affiliated investors from the count, only about 66.9% of non-affiliated investors approved the deal. The plan could award Musk up to $1 trillion in Tesla stock if the company meets specific performance targets, including reaching a $2 trillion valuation. Two major advisory firms had recommended voting against the pay package. Meanwhile, Tesla's energy division reported strong Q3 results, deploying 12.5 GWh of battery storage systems, an 81% increase year-over-year. The energy business generated $3.4 billion in revenue, up 27%, with a 31% gross margin, exceeding the automotive business margin. This growth is driven by demand for Megapacks and Powerwalls, with the company preparing to launch its new Megapack 4.

Uniswap's UNI token experienced a significant 40% price jump, reaching around $9.5, fueled by increased trading activity and whale buying. However, some long-term holders are selling off their UNI tokens to secure profits, which could lead to a price pullback. Technical indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggest the token might be overbought, hinting at a potential pause or decrease in price. Whales have acquired $12.7 million worth of UNI in the past month, while older wallets are moving their coins, creating mixed signals in the market. Uniswap Labs announced a major governance update called UNIfication, which aims to burn UNI tokens using protocol fees and sequencer fees, potentially impacting the token's value over time. Key price levels to watch are $9.0, above which buyers remain confident, and $8, below which selling pressure might increase. On the upside, a break above $10.28 could lead to a move toward $12.27.

A recent study by Santiment reveals a correlation between the trading activities of large cryptocurrency holders (whales) and small retail investors (micro wallets) and price movements in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, and Lido Staked ETH. The study found that when whales accumulate coins while micro wallets are selling, prices tend to increase. Conversely, when whales sell while micro wallets buy, prices often decrease. This pattern suggests that monitoring the contrasting behaviors of these two groups can provide insights into potential market swings and trading opportunities. Specifically, XRP showed instances where whale accumulation led to price increases despite ongoing retail buying, and Bitcoin and Ethereum exhibited similar trends of price increases coinciding with whale accumulation and retail selling. The study suggests that understanding these dynamics can help traders anticipate market moves and identify who is influencing prices.

Ethereum (ETH) is currently trading around $3550, with traders closely watching the $3600 resistance level. Key support levels are identified at $3250 and $3100, while resistance levels are at $3600 and $3750. An extension target is set at $5823. The 50-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA) is at $3600, and the 100-day EMA is at $3250. The Stochastic RSI is at 45, indicating neutral momentum. Buyers might consider entering near $3250 or $3100, with stop-loss orders below $3100. Sellers may consider exiting near $3600 or $3750, aiming to take profits at $5823. A break below the $3250 support could signal weakness and a potential sell-off towards $3100.

Sachin Katti, who was recently appointed as Intel's CTO and head of AI, has left the company after only six months to join OpenAI. This departure is considered a setback for Intel, especially as they struggle to compete in the AI chip market. Intel's CEO, Lip-Bu Tan, will now directly oversee the company's AI efforts. This change is part of a larger trend of executive departures at Intel since March, adding pressure on Tan to stabilize leadership and improve the company's foundry business. Meanwhile, Katti will be involved in designing and building compute infrastructure at OpenAI, which is investing heavily in expanding its data center capabilities. OpenAI has reportedly signed over $1.4 trillion in infrastructure agreements, leading to discussions about funding strategies, including potential partnerships with banks, private equity firms, and government support.

A draft bill from the US Senate Agriculture Committee aims to provide regulatory clarity to the crypto market by formally defining digital commodities. The bill proposes classifying digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum as digital commodities, placing them under the supervision of the CFTC. This would establish clear regulatory boundaries, reducing conflicts between agencies like the SEC and CFTC. The bill also includes protections for crypto developers and blockchain infrastructure builders, ensuring that creating or running blockchain software does not automatically classify someone as a broker. Furthermore, the bill proposes creating a Digital Commodity Retail Office within the CFTC to protect retail investors and promote fair crypto trading. If passed, the CFTC would become the primary regulator of crypto spot markets and exchanges, potentially leading to increased institutional participation and the launch of new crypto products.

Whales have shown significant interest in Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Bitcoin layer-2 solution designed for fast and cheap transactions. In a single day, over $307,000 worth of $HYPER tokens were purchased in the presale, including one buy of $224,000. The presale has already raised over $26.8 million at a price of around $0.013255 per token. Bitcoin Hyper aims to enable faster payments and DeFi applications on the Bitcoin network using a rollup model. The project focuses on providing utility through its technology, which includes a bridge verifying Bitcoin transactions and developer tools.

Standard Chartered is partnering with DCS Card Centre to support DeCard, a new card that allows users to spend stablecoins. The partnership will begin in Singapore before expanding to other markets. Standard Chartered will provide banking solutions, including virtual accounts and APIs, to facilitate stablecoin payments through DeCard. DeCard will offer a D-Vault for crypto settlement and payment tracking and link accounts to a Polygon wallet for balance recognition. The goal is to provide a secure, regulated, and convenient way for people to use stablecoins in everyday transactions. The partnership aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance, supporting the growing adoption of stablecoins, which have a global supply of over $301 billion.

Cardano's large investors, referred to as whales and sharks, have increased their holdings of ADA by 348 million in just four days. This accumulation occurred during a period when the price of ADA, like other cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, has been declining.

TeraWulf, a Bitcoin mining company, reported an 87% increase in revenue for the third quarter, reaching $50.6 million. This growth was primarily due to higher Bitcoin prices, averaging $114,390 per coin, even though the company mined fewer Bitcoins (377) compared to the previous year. TeraWulf is also diversifying into artificial intelligence (AI) and data hosting, securing multi-billion-dollar deals with Fluidstack and Google. The company announced a $3.2 billion senior secured notes offering and signed three 10-year lease deals worth $6.7 billion with Fluidstack for AI infrastructure hosting. Other Bitcoin miners are facing challenges due to rising power costs and reduced block rewards, leading some to also explore AI and high-performance computing (HPC) opportunities. Cipher Mining secured a $5.5 billion AI computing deal with Amazon Web Services, and IREN signed a $9.7 billion agreement with Microsoft for GPU-based AI services. TeraWulf's stock (WULF) initially rose but closed up 0.49% at $14.30.

A new bill in the U.S. Senate aims to regulate the crypto market, giving the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) primary oversight over digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This clarifies the roles of the CFTC and SEC in regulating crypto. The bill includes a new office within the CFTC to protect retail investors. It also shields blockchain developers from being classified as money transmitters. Crypto custodians will be required to hold assets in qualified institutions and invest idle cash in U.S. Treasuries, linking crypto to the dollar system. Individuals retain the right to self-custody their crypto assets. The legislation seeks to create a unified regulatory framework and integrate crypto into the U.S. financial system.

A potential threat to Bitcoin's security from quantum computers is being discussed, focusing on their ability to break cryptographic keys. Bitcoin analyst Willy Woo suggests storing Bitcoin in SegWit addresses as a short-term defense, as SegWit delays the exposure of the public key until a transaction is executed, making it harder for quantum computers to crack the private key. However, this method requires users to not move their Bitcoin from the SegWit address, making it unsuitable for active trading or needing liquidity, and is only a temporary solution until a quantum-resistant Bitcoin protocol is developed. Experts disagree on the effectiveness of SegWit, with some arguing it provides no meaningful protection and could delay necessary network upgrades, while others believe the quantum threat is overstated due to the technology's limitations. The security of Bitcoin held by custodians depends on those institutions taking proactive steps to secure their holdings.

Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies, which manage cryptocurrency holdings, are shifting their focus from Bitcoin and Ethereum to smaller, lesser-known altcoins like Berachain, Near Protocol, and Canton Coin, hoping for higher returns as Bitcoin's value declines. The number of DAT companies has significantly increased, with a combined market capitalization of approximately $150 billion. However, many of these companies are now trading below the value of their crypto assets, leading to substantial losses for retail investors, estimated at around $17 billion. Analysts are warning that investing in these less liquid altcoins could increase risks for these firms, particularly if market conditions worsen. Some companies are resorting to share repurchases to try and support their stock prices.

A CNBC report indicates Ripple is evolving into a broader financial services company with XRP playing a central role in its strategy. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced at Ripple Swell 2025 that the company is now directly targeting traditional finance.

The Sui Foundation has partnered with Crypto.com to improve institutional custody and liquidity for the SUI token. This collaboration allows wealthy individuals and enterprises using Crypto.com to securely store and manage their SUI holdings with compliant cold storage and transparent audits.

The ETF's shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will trade under the ticker XRPC. Canary Capital Group LLC will manage the ETF, aiming to provide investors exposure to XRP in a regulated format. The news of the ETF approval has already caused a rise in XRP's price.

The Canary XRP ETF has received automatic approval for listing on the Nasdaq, making it the first XRP exchange-traded fund to be registered with the SEC. The approval followed the filing of a Form 8-A by Canary Capital Group CEO Steven McClurg on November 10, 2025. The ETF's shares are registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and will trade under the ticker XRPC. Trading is expected to begin this week. The ETF will be managed by Canary Capital Group LLC and aims to provide investors with regulated exposure to XRP. This news, combined with other positive market factors, has already increased XRP's price.

Litecoin has seen a recent surge, gaining 10% in value over the past week and trading around $105-$106. Trading volumes have increased significantly, indicating renewed interest and liquidity. Futures market data shows a bullish sentiment, with more traders betting on Litecoin's price to rise. Technical indicators, such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and MACD, suggest that the upward trend could continue. A key support level to watch is the 50-day EMA around $101.45; staying above this level could lead to a further rally towards $135.99. However, falling below $101.45 might trigger a pullback to around $96.30.

A recent online survey showed that over 80% of respondents don't consider the Lightning Network (LN) to be real Bitcoin. This has fueled a debate about LN's role and effectiveness as a Layer 2 scaling solution. Critics like Paul Sztorc argue that LN has technical issues, relies on users trusting large liquidity providers, and hasn't functioned as intended over the past six years. Supporters such as Alex Gladstein and Matt Corallo maintain that LN enables faster and cheaper Bitcoin transactions, with Corallo estimating a significant percentage of BTC transactions now occur on Lightning. Protos reports that LN's growth has stalled since 2022, with its total BTC capacity remaining around 4,800 BTC and the number of nodes and payment channels either stagnant or decreasing. Other BTC-pegged assets are now dwarfing LN transactions.

Uniswap's founder, Hayden Adams, has introduced a governance proposal called UNIfication. This proposal, created with Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation, seeks to change how the Uniswap protocol generates revenue and to reinforce its status as a top decentralized exchange. The details of how the revenue model will change and the specifics of the plan's impact aren't specified.

Bitcoin's price is around $105,300, showing stability this week despite a 1,300% increase in selling pressure from short-term holders and a nearly 300% increase from mid-term holders. A potential bullish crossover on the short-term chart suggests a possible rebound, similar to a pattern seen in late October when Bitcoin rallied 5%. Large holders, or whales, have increased their Bitcoin holdings by roughly $2.7 billion between November 6 and 10, indicating accumulation that could offset selling pressure. Key resistance levels to watch are $105,500, $109,700, $112,600, and $116,400. A drop below $102,900 could lead to a decline towards $98,800.

Italian banks are expressing support for the development of a digital euro, believing it will strengthen Europe's position in the digital economy. However, they are advocating for a gradual rollout of implementation costs, citing the significant investment required to build the necessary infrastructure. The European Central Bank (ECB) is pursuing the digital euro to modernize payments, reduce reliance on non-European payment systems, and compete with stablecoins and private digital currencies. The ECB aims to begin pilot testing in 2027 and potentially launch the digital euro in 2029, pending EU approval of final rules in 2026. Disagreements persist across Europe regarding the scale and design of the digital euro, with some concerned about potential negative impacts on traditional bank accounts. A smaller initial version has been suggested to safeguard private payment systems.

Large Ethereum investors, known as whales, have increased their holdings by 7.6 million ETH since April. This accumulation, contrasting with smaller investors reducing their ETH, suggests potential renewed confidence in Ethereum. Surges in Ethereum spot trading volume since early November indicate a possible upcoming price increase. Improving sentiment around a potential US government shutdown resolution has also boosted risk appetite in the crypto market. Bitcoin briefly fell below $100,000 but rebounded, and faces resistance at $118,000. Institutional crypto funds experienced significant outflows of $1.17 billion last week, with Bitcoin funds seeing the largest losses at $932 million, followed by Ethereum at $438 million. However, short Bitcoin investment products saw minor inflows.

Canary, a company dealing with investments, has received approval for its XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The company has also filed an 8-A form, a document required to list the ETF on the Nasdaq stock exchange. This approval and filing suggest that investors may soon be able to buy and sell shares in a fund that tracks the price of XRP directly on a major stock exchange.

China's energy companies have significantly increased their investment in domestic oil and gas production, spending approximately $468 billion since 2019. This surge in spending has positioned PetroChina as the largest investor in exploration and production globally. CNOOC, a major Chinese oil producer, is expanding its pipeline network, indicating a focus on increasing domestic supply. Simultaneously, Chinese state oil giants have reduced their purchases of Russian oil amidst heightened sanctions. While China's oil imports decreased slightly in October, the country is actively building up its crude oil inventories and expanding storage capacity. This push for energy self-sufficiency also includes expanding wind and solar capacity. This increased domestic production and diversified energy strategy by China is expected to impact global oil markets, potentially reducing demand for oil from major international producers.

Chainlink's LINK token is currently trading around $15, showing a recent price decrease and a drop in trading volume. However, Chainlink has introduced a new upgrade called Confidential Compute, which aims to bring privacy to on-chain transactions, potentially attracting institutions like banks and enterprises to use blockchain. The price is sitting on a long-term support trendline, and analysts suggest that if this support holds, LINK could rise to around $26 and possibly even $47. But, if the price breaks below this support level, any major price increase could be delayed.

Prediction markets are indicating a high probability that the U.S. government shutdown is nearing its end. These markets, which allow users to bet on the outcome of events, suggest that the shutdown may conclude in the coming days. Simultaneously, there are signals pointing towards an upcoming debate and potential conflict regarding healthcare policy, adding a layer of complexity to the political landscape following the resolution of the shutdown.

The European Blockchain Convention (EBC) in Barcelona in mid-October 2025 attracted over 5,000 attendees from 60+ countries with 250+ speakers and 200+ sponsors & exhibitors and showcased the maturation of the digital asset sector in Europe. Key discussions centered on stablecoins, tokenization of real-world assets, MiCA regulatory clarity, institutional adoption of Bitcoin, and Web3's cultural impact. Nine European banks are planning to launch MiCA-compliant euro stablecoins, indicating a shift towards regulation-based payment infrastructure. The event highlighted the integration of digital assets into traditional financial systems with institutions showing increased interest in Bitcoin treasuries and crypto as a diversification strategy. Web3 was presented as a means for direct brand-to-fan engagement, transforming ownership and community interaction.

The bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has distributed $7.1 billion to creditors across three payout rounds. These distributions occurred on February 18th ($454 million), May 30th ($5 billion), and September 30th ($1.6 billion), covering both smaller claims (under $50,000) and larger claims. A fourth distribution round is anticipated in January 2026, pending a confirmation of the record date in December. The total estimated FTX assets are valued between $16-17 billion. Despite these payouts, the legal and public relations issues surrounding FTX persist, as founder Sam Bankman-Fried continues to make statements from prison questioning the handling of the bankruptcy and the reasons for FTX's collapse.
