VeChain has partnered with Rekord to create blockchain-based infrastructure for Digital Product Passports (DPP) in the European Union. This partnership aims to help businesses comply with the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which goes into effect in 2026. The ESPR mandates that products sold in the EU have DPPs that track sustainability and compliance information. Rekord's API will use VeChain's blockchain to secure product data, allowing companies to prepare for the new regulations without significantly changing their existing systems. Rekord's V1 API is already processing live transactions on the VeChain network. This initiative positions VeChain and Rekord to provide essential infrastructure for companies needing to meet the upcoming EU requirements for product tracking and verification.

Cryptocurrency markets experienced a widespread increase in value over the last day, fueled by anticipation of a potential Federal Reserve interest rate decrease with an 85% probability. PayFi assets demonstrated the largest gains, increasing by 9%, while XRP rose by 11% and ETH exceeded $2,900. Bitcoin's price increased by 1.67%, reaching $87,000. Gains were observed across various cryptocurrency sectors including Meme, DeFi, Layer 1, CeFi, and Layer 2 tokens. Glassnode reported that Bitcoin's recent dip below $90,000 to test $80,000 indicated oversold market conditions, but early indicators of recovery are appearing alongside a reduction of risk in both derivative and spot trading.

XRP's price has increased by over 10%, surpassing $2.20. It broke through a bearish trend line at $2.00 and reached a high of $2.286 before consolidating. It's currently trading above $2.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If it breaks the $2.280 resistance, it could potentially reach $2.320, $2.350, $2.4620, and even $2.50. However, failure to break $2.280 could lead to a decline, with support levels around $2.180 and $2.080. A break below $2.080 could push the price down towards $2.050, $2.020, and potentially $1.9250. Technical indicators suggest bullish momentum.

AVAX One, a company listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker AVX, has invested $110 million to purchase 9.37 million AVAX tokens, the native cryptocurrency of the Avalanche blockchain, at an average price of $11.73 per token. This purchase, made between November 5th and November 23rd, brings their total holdings to over 13.8 million AVAX tokens. AVAX One aims to become a major player in the Avalanche ecosystem and sees the current market conditions as a good opportunity to accumulate tokens. The company also has $35 million in cash available for further token purchases and plans to buy back its own stock. AVAX One believes that Avalanche is a key technology for the future of finance and intends to use its AVAX holdings to generate additional income.

Galaxy Digital, led by Mike Novogratz, is exploring becoming a market maker for prediction market platforms Polymarket and Kalshi. These platforms allow users to bet on the outcomes of real-world events such as elections and economic announcements. Galaxy's potential involvement would mean they would provide liquidity by consistently posting bids and offers, which aims to improve trading depth on these platforms. Other firms like Jump Trading and Susquehanna International Group have also shown interest in this growing sector. Prediction markets are drawing more attention, with Google Finance planning to display live data from Polymarket and Kalshi. Regulatory concerns still exist, as some consider these markets as gambling, but the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not intervened.

Cryptocurrency investment funds experienced significant outflows of $1.94 billion last week, contributing to a four-week total of $4.9 billion in withdrawals. However, late-week inflows of $258 million suggest a potential shift in sentiment. XRP funds saw inflows of $89.3 million, while Bitcoin and Solana funds experienced substantial outflows of $1.27 billion and $156 million, respectively. Bitkub, a Thai cryptocurrency exchange, is considering a Hong Kong IPO to raise $200 million due to weakness in the Thai stock market. JPMorgan Chase closed the accounts of Strike CEO Jack Mallers, citing concerning activity. Bitcoin is currently trading within a descending channel, with resistance at $94,000. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) on Solana has a presale surpassing $28.3 million.

The estimated wealth of Bitcoin's creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, has decreased by approximately $41 billion due to a 30% drop in Bitcoin's price from its October peak. On-chain analysis suggests Satoshi owns about 1.1 million Bitcoins, which were worth an estimated $138 billion at Bitcoin's high but are now valued at roughly $96 billion. This price decrease has shifted Satoshi's position on hypothetical rich lists. The coins attributed to Satoshi remain untouched, and their value will change with Bitcoin's future price movements. While the drop represents a paper loss as no coins were sold, the situation highlights the risk of having a large portion of wealth in a single volatile asset. The identity and ownership of the coins remain unconfirmed, and the wallets have been largely inactive for years.

XRP experienced a price increase of over 9%, reaching approximately $2.27, following the launch of spot XRP ETFs by Franklin Templeton and Grayscale. These firms join Bitwise and Canary Capital in offering regulated investment products for XRP. This development follows Ripple's settlement with the SEC in May 2025, which resolved legal uncertainties and paved the way for institutional investment. Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF (XRPZ) is structured as a grantor trust tracking the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate, with Coinbase Custody handling crypto storage and BNY Mellon overseeing administration. Grayscale introduced GXRP with a zero-fee launch period, while Bitwise's XRP ETF accumulated $100 million shortly after its release. These ETFs provide regulated access to XRP, which is used for global settlement infrastructure. XRP runs on the XRP Ledger, designed for fast and low-cost transactions, making it attractive for banks and cross-border payments. Open interest in XRP futures is also rising, indicating increased market participation. XRP's potential role in emerging payment corridors, especially across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, along with initiatives like the BRICS New Development Bank and the European Central Bank's Project Nexus, further support its growing relevance in the global financial system.

XRP ETFs saw a combined trading volume of over $85 million on Monday. Bitwise led the pack with the highest trading volume, followed by Franklin Templeton and Canary. Grayscale's XRP ETF had a significantly lower trading volume compared to the others. An analyst noted that XRP's price tends to increase during ETF trading hours and stabilize or decrease afterward. XRP's price rebounded from a support level, and analysts suggest it needs to surpass a certain price range to confirm a larger upward trend. The initial trading volume indicates strong interest in the newly launched XRP ETFs.

Ethereum is currently trading around $2,800, showing stability after a price drop from over $4,500. BitMine Immersion Technologies, a publicly traded company, recently purchased approximately $82 million worth of Ethereum (28,625 ETH), increasing its holdings as part of a long-term strategy. This is seen as a sign of institutional confidence in Ethereum. Technically, Ethereum faces resistance in the $2,850-$2,900 range and could potentially fall to $2,500 if it fails to break through this resistance. Its price movements indicate a market trying to find a bottom after a correction. The $2,500 level is a critical support that traders are closely watching, and a strong push by either buyers or sellers will determine the next price direction. The technical indicators show the market is correcting, but is attempting to find a bottom rather than aggressively selling off.

Bitcoin is stable around $87,000 as Asian markets rise, influenced by positive performance in US stock markets and growing expectations that the Federal Reserve might lower interest rates in December. Tech stocks are performing well, particularly those related to AI, like Meta and Google. Market sentiment is shifting towards expecting easier monetary policy, with increased bets on a rate cut. Economic data releases, including retail sales and jobless claims, will be closely watched to confirm this trend. While overall market earnings have been positive, some crypto analysts are cautious, noting Bitcoin's recent peak before major equity benchmarks and suggesting a potential market correction.

Ethereum's price is attempting to recover, currently trading above $2,850. It faces immediate resistance around $2,950 and a key test near $3,000. Overcoming $3,000 could lead to further gains towards $3,050, potentially reaching $3,120 or even $3,250. However, failure to break through $2,950 could trigger a decline, with initial support around $2,840 and further support at $2,780. A drop below $2,780 could push the price towards $2,650. The MACD indicator is losing bullish momentum, while the RSI is above 50. Key support is at $2,800 and major resistance is at $2,950.

Teucrium CEO Sal Gilbertie suggests that Ripple could evolve into a regulated bank, potentially rivaling JPMorgan, contingent on securing a US banking license and achieving regulatory clarity. Gilbertie believes a license would unlock significant institutional investment in XRP. He views Ripple's structure as similar to a financial institution with robust capital and strong leadership. Gilbertie also addressed concerns about Ripple potentially flooding the market with XRP, suggesting they have less incentive to sell large amounts of XRP due to their strong capitalization and increasing use cases for the token. He sees XRP as a tool for institutional clients and a bank, similar to banks holding capital reserves. Recent volatility in XRP's price, including pullbacks of 30-50% after rallies, are considered natural market movements. Gilbertie anticipates that reduced volatility in major assets, along with increased institutional participation through ETFs and a more favorable US regulatory environment for crypto, could stabilize markets over time.

Ethereum's price has dropped significantly, losing over 45% of its value since late August and struggling to stay above $2,800. Market sentiment is largely negative, and there's concern about a long-term downtrend as liquidity is decreasing. Despite this, Tom Lees Bitmine, a crypto investment firm, has purchased 28,625 ETH worth $82.11 million, signaling their confidence in Ethereum's long-term value. Ethereum is currently testing a key support level, the 200-week moving average, which has historically been a point of reversal. Whether Ethereum can hold this level and break above $3,000 will determine if the market stabilizes or continues to decline.

A recent market downturn was primarily driven by Bitcoin liquidations, rather than widespread selling of Ethereum. Bitcoin experienced a significant drop from approximately $107,000 to $81,000 within ten days, triggering substantial liquidations amounting to nearly $2 billion in a single day. Ethereum, however, held up relatively better during the same period. This is attributed to the increasing amount of Ethereum being locked up in staking and the burning of Ethereum supply through EIP-1559, both of which reduce the available supply for selling. While Bitcoin's MVRV ratio indicates a mid-cycle reset, analysts caution that Ethereum's leverage ratio on Binance reached an all-time high of 0.562 during the price drop, making it vulnerable to further liquidations if its price declines again. The market environment is described as a "Zebra Market," characterized by sharp price swings and high volatility, but the overall signals suggest that the recent downturn was mainly a Bitcoin-led event.

Bitcoin's price is attempting to recover, currently trading above $86,000 with the 100 hourly Simple Moving Average. It faces resistance around $89,000 and $90,000. A bearish trend line is forming at $89,000. If Bitcoin breaks above $90,000, it could rise towards $92,500, potentially reaching $95,000. Failure to surpass $89,000 could lead to a decline, with immediate support at $86,750 and major support at $86,000. Further losses could push the price towards $82,500, with critical support at $80,000.

Crypto investment products experienced significant outflows of $1.94 billion during the week, marking the fourth consecutive week of net redemptions totaling $4.92 billion. Bitcoin products saw the largest outflows at $1.27 billion, followed by Ethereum products at $589 million. However, XRP defied this trend, attracting $89.3 million in inflows. The United States accounted for the majority of the outflows, totaling $1.69 billion. Despite the weekly outflows, year-to-date inflows for crypto ETPs remain positive at $44.43 billion. iShares ETFs led provider-level outflows with $1.65 billion in redemptions, while Grayscale Investments saw $114 million in inflows.

Solana's price increased by over 5% to $138.56 following a significant increase in activity on the x402 protocol, which saw transaction volume jump by 500% week-over-week. The network processed over 500,000 transactions and more than $100,000 in volume on Nov 23. This surge in activity indicates growing interest in the Solana ecosystem. Simultaneously, a proposal called SIMD-0411 is under discussion to reduce the rate at which new Solana tokens are created, aiming to accelerate the reduction of inflation from its current 4.18% to a target of 1.5%. If approved, this could move the target date from 2032 to 2029 and remove approximately 22.3 million SOL from the potential supply. While supporters believe this will create scarcity and increase the token's value, concerns exist about potential negative impacts on smaller validators due to reduced staking yields, which could affect the network's decentralization.

Bitcoin's price has stabilized. Traders on Polymarket are increasingly betting on the likelihood of an interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December. This suggests market participants anticipate a potential easing of monetary policy by the end of the year.

SanDisk Corp. will replace Interpublic Group of Companies Inc. in the S&P 500 index on November 28, 2024. This news caused SanDisk's shares to jump over 9% in after-hours trading. SanDisk's market value has grown to around $33 billion, driven by demand for AI-related storage. This move is expected to increase institutional investment and liquidity for SanDisk. Meanwhile, Strategy, a company holding over 640,000 Bitcoin, remains excluded from the S&P 500. Strategy's large Bitcoin holdings and fluctuating earnings, tied to Bitcoin's price, are viewed as unstable by index decision makers. S&P Dow Jones Indices gave Strategy a B- credit rating, citing Bitcoin exposure, low liquidity, and a narrow business model. Strategy's stock is down 35% from its July high, reflecting disappointment over the exclusion and credit rating concerns. There are also concerns Strategy could be removed from key MSCI equity indices due to its bitcoin-centric profile.

The price of Hedera (HBAR) has increased by over 5% in the last 24 hours, reaching around $0.14. This rise is mainly due to increased interest from institutions, growing investments in HBAR-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and anticipation for the launch of HBAR futures trading on Coinbase on December 5. One ETF, Canary Capitals HBAR ETF, has increased its HBAR holdings to over 421 million, valued at approximately $55 million, after experiencing positive investment inflows. Technically, the HBAR price shows signs of a possible recovery, but it remains below a key trendline. If the buying trend continues, the price could test the $0.16-$0.18 range; however, if it fails to overcome resistance, the price could fall back to $0.14, then $0.125, and potentially $0.10.

Bitcoin has dropped significantly, about 35% in two months, from its high in October, causing investors to sell. This selling pressure is similar to past events like the COVID crash and the Luna collapse. A strong US dollar is contributing to the decline, making it harder for Bitcoin to recover. However, there's a possibility the Federal Reserve might cut interest rates in December, which could help Bitcoin. Right now, Bitcoin is trying to find a stable price after this sharp drop. It fell from around $126,000 to between $80,000 and $86,000. Bitcoin's price is below its moving averages, indicating a downtrend. The most recent price action shows early signs of buyers potentially stepping in around the $83,000 to $86,000 level.

Zoom Video Communications reported better-than-expected earnings for its fiscal third quarter, with revenue reaching $1.23 billion, a 4.4% increase. Earnings per share, excluding certain items, were $1.52, surpassing analysts' estimates of $1.44. The company's growth is attributed to its expanding business tools, including business phone systems, contact center software, and its AI assistant, AI Companion. Zoom's CEO, Eric Yuan, highlighted the expected increase in AI Companion usage following the launch of AI Companion 3.0. Enterprise client revenue rose by 6.1% to $741.4 million, exceeding analysts' predictions. Zoom's share price increased by approximately 4% in after-hours trading. The company also increased its share buyback limit by $1 billion. For the current period, Zoom projects revenue of approximately $1.23 billion and adjusted earnings of around $1.49 per share, exceeding analysts' expectations.

Bitcoin miners are experiencing a profit squeeze due to the Bitcoin network's computing power, or hashrate, reaching record highs, exceeding 1.1 zettahashes per second in October 2025. This surge in hashrate intensifies competition among miners, reducing individual rewards and causing the hashprice, a measure of revenue per unit of computing power, to plummet to around $35 per PH/s, a five-year low by November. Consequently, miners face challenges in covering electricity and equipment costs, with payback periods for new mining rigs extending beyond three years. Many mining companies are taking on debt to manage expenses, while some are exploring alternative revenue streams like high-performance computing and AI workloads. For example, Bitfarm plans to exit Bitcoin mining by 2027 and shift resources to AI computing. Publicly listed mining companies have seen some stock price recovery, driven by investor interest in AI and HPC transitions, but the future remains uncertain due to Bitcoin's volatility, increasing hashrate, energy costs, and regulatory hurdles.

Bitcoin is under pressure below $90,000, with analysts suggesting a potential bear market after peaking near $126,000 in October. A significant 63,000 Bitcoin has moved from long-term holders to short-term holders, indicating experienced investors are selling while newer ones are buying. This shift typically happens near market peaks, but the large volume raises concerns about a potential price correction if demand doesn't keep up with the selling. Bitcoin is trying to hold above the $87,000 level, testing a key support level (100-week moving average). Falling below $83,000-$86,000 could lead to a further drop towards $56,000-$60,000.

Ethereum (ETH) has rebounded, surpassing $2,800 after a period of decline. This recovery is partly fueled by a $59 million purchase of Ethereum by BitMine, increasing their total holdings to approximately 3% of the circulating supply. While Ethereum remains within a downward trend, the accumulation by large investors and decreasing exchange reserves suggest renewed confidence. The cryptocurrency faces resistance between $2,947 and $3,000, and overcoming this level could lead to further price increases. Factors supporting Ethereum include new institutional products like regulated ETH perpetual futures on the Singapore Exchange and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade expected to improve scalability.

A recent discussion sparked by Solana news suggests that crypto exchanges might face a decline over the next 10 years as smaller teams create specialized tools for trading, transfers, and capital access directly on blockchains like Solana. An analyst highlighted that exchanges bundle services but aren't the best at any single one, while specialized tools offer a smoother user experience. Solana is being discussed as a potential base for on-chain trading due to its speed and low fees, enabling direct transfers from apps like Cash App to Solana wallets. While some believe exchanges will remain important for retail users who prefer their interface, others note a trend of Bitcoin leaving exchanges, indicating a potential shift towards on-chain tools and self-custody wallets.

The SEC has given Fuse Crypto Limited a "no-action letter" stating they won't pursue enforcement action if Fuse offers and sells its FUSE token. This means the SEC, based on information provided by Fuse, doesn't consider the FUSE token a security under the Howey test. Fuse intends to use the token to reward people for participating in sustainable energy initiatives like rooftop solar panels and electric vehicle charging. The SEC determined the token encourages participation and isn't primarily for profit based on the efforts of others. This decision is important because it distinguishes utility tokens from assets that are heavily regulated as securities. This news is encouraging for companies using blockchain-based reward systems for physical infrastructure, especially since the SEC recently approved a similar token, DoubleZero's 2Z token. It suggests the SEC is becoming more receptive to functional digital assets that have real-world utility, and might be considering a system for classifying tokens as either securities or utility tokens.

Bitcoin is under pressure, trading around $86,000, which is 30% below its record high from early October. Arthur Hayes, a crypto market observer, anticipates further near-term weakness, suggesting Bitcoin could dip into the low $80,000s before finding a bottom. He notes that while US banks increased lending in November and the Federal Reserve is expected to halt quantitative tightening in December, these improvements aren't enough to prevent a potential price drop. The crypto market overall has seen a significant drop, with billions wiped out in futures positions, leading to extreme fear sentiment. Bitcoin ETFs have experienced over $3.5 billion in outflows, reversing previous strong inflows. Uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's policy and profit-taking by long-term holders are contributing to the market's unease. HYPE's price has also decreased, with the only way to recover is if there is a massive growth in revenue.

In November 2025, the cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, losing over $1.3 trillion in value. Bitcoin's price fell from $126,000 to below $85,000. The total market cap dropped roughly 30% from $4.2 trillion to under $3 trillion. Bitcoin itself lost about 32% of its value, while Ethereum declined by over 40%. Liquidations of leveraged crypto positions reached $19 billion in a single day in October, surpassing previous records. However, unlike the 2022 FTX collapse, this downturn did not result in major bankruptcies among publicly listed companies. Crypto ETFs experienced over $3.7 billion in outflows, but continued to function. While sentiment indices dropped to yearly lows, investors generally remained engaged. Analysts consider the 2025 event a sharp correction, while the 2022 FTX collapse resulted in a 73% market plunge and deeper systemic damage.

Crypto mining stocks, like BitMine and Cipher Mining, experienced significant gains, some rising as much as 20%, following Amazon's announcement of a potential $50 billion investment in AI infrastructure for U.S. government agencies. This increase in stock value reflects a broader trend where Bitcoin miners are adapting to declining profitability after the recent Bitcoin halving by shifting focus towards AI. Tech companies are viewing existing crypto mining power infrastructure as essential for rapidly building data centers needed for AI development. Amazon's AI infrastructure plan includes adding 1.3 gigawatts of power across multiple data centers, with construction targeted for 2026, along with a $15 billion investment in Indiana. This demand in AI is causing large tech companies like Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Google and others to raise approximately $100 billion in bonds to expand AI and cloud capabilities.

Apple has recently cut an unspecified number of sales positions, impacting employees across various teams including account managers for businesses, schools, and government agencies, as well as briefing center staff. The company stated the move is to connect with more customers and is restructuring its sales team, with affected employees able to apply for new positions within Apple. This decision is considered unusual for Apple, which typically doesn't make such reductions. Some employees believe the job cuts signal a shift towards increased reliance on third-party resellers to reduce costs. The layoffs follow previous cuts in sales teams in Australia and New Zealand. Affected employees have until January 20th to apply for other positions within the company or they will be dismissed with a severance package.

President Trump signed an executive order initiating the Genesis Mission, a program designed to accelerate the development and regulation of artificial intelligence (AI) in the U.S. The mission aims to consolidate federal scientific data and computing power, utilizing Department of Energy national laboratories and partnerships with private sector companies like Nvidia, Dell, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, and AMD to enhance AI capabilities. This initiative intends to speed up scientific discoveries in areas like energy, health, and manufacturing, while also addressing the energy consumption concerns associated with AI by improving grid efficiency. The Trump administration is also working on establishing a national framework for AI regulation, potentially through Justice Department action against states with conflicting policies, to ensure U.S. global competitiveness in AI.

Stand With Crypto, a digital asset advocacy group, has launched a survey to assess candidates' views on cryptocurrency-related issues ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The survey covers topics like crypto innovation, de-banking, crypto mining regulations, consumer protection, and accessibility. The organization aims to inform voters and support pro-crypto politicians to promote the growth of blockchain technology in the U.S. Stand With Crypto plans to release the survey results in early 2026. Launched in 2023 with backing from Coinbase, Stand With Crypto is known for grading politicians on their crypto-friendliness and aims to create a unified voting bloc of crypto owners advocating for clear regulations.

South Korea is considering postponing the implementation of its crypto tax laws for the fourth time, potentially pushing it back to January 2027. The country's initial plan to tax virtual assets, passed in 2020, has faced repeated delays due to unclear definitions and a lack of tax standards for various crypto-related income types, such as airdrops, staking, and lending. A major concern is the difficulty in taxing transactions on overseas exchanges, decentralized services, and peer-to-peer trades, which could create an unfair system where only users of domestic exchanges are taxed. South Korea has joined the OECD's Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) to exchange virtual-asset transaction data with 48 other nations starting in 2027, aiming to address offshore loopholes. However, analysts argue that South Korea first needs to resolve its internal structural issues, like clarity on taxable events, before international data sharing can guarantee a fair and enforceable tax system. In the first half of 2025, approximately 10.77 million South Korean users were on domestic exchange platforms, highlighting the widespread participation in the crypto market.

XRP's price increased after hitting a price target predicted by a trader. This increase comes as institutional investors are showing more interest in XRP through new investment funds called ETFs. Franklin Templeton and Grayscale have both launched XRP ETFs with temporary low or no fees to attract investors. XRP is also seeing more real-world uses and partnerships, which analysts believe will help its price grow in the long term. XRP saw $179.6 million in weekly inflows, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs experienced outflows, suggesting that some investors are shifting their focus to XRP.

Bitcoin's price has dropped significantly, more than 35% since early October from its all-time high, causing market panic. An indicator called the NVT Golden Cross, which assesses Bitcoin's valuation based on transaction activity, is signaling that Bitcoin may be undervalued. Historically, when this indicator drops to similar levels, Bitcoin has often experienced price recoveries. However, analysts caution that this signal isn't foolproof, especially during periods of high market stress and liquidations. The market is currently volatile, and it's uncertain whether Bitcoin will stabilize or continue to decline. Bitcoin is currently testing its 200-day moving average for support around $88K; a break below this level could lead to further price drops, while reclaiming $90K is critical to shift momentum and invalidate a cascading lower-high, lower-low sequence.

Grayscale Investments has released a research report identifying Chainlink as essential infrastructure for the future of tokenized finance. The report highlights Chainlink's ability to connect different blockchains and meet banking compliance needs, particularly through its Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). This technology was demonstrated in a partnership with JPMorgan, showcasing real-world applications for moving tokens between blockchains. Grayscale also points to Chainlink's partnerships with data providers like S&P Global and FTSE Russell as key to bridging traditional and digital finance. The tokenized asset market, currently at $35 billion, is expected to grow significantly, increasing demand for Chainlink's services. A successful test involving JPMorgan, Ondo Finance, and Chainlink demonstrated cross-chain delivery-versus-payment settlement between a private payment network and a public blockchain. Grayscale has filed to convert its $29 million Chainlink Trust into an exchange-traded fund (ETF) under the ticker GLNK, which, if approved, would be the first Chainlink ETF in the US and include a staking component for additional returns. Grayscale classifies LINK as the largest asset in the Utilities & Services crypto sector and believes it belongs in diversified crypto portfolios alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, noting recent data indicating steady institutional buying. Chainlink's role in enabling regulatory compliant blockchain integration for traditional financial institutions is seen as critical to the digital transformation of finance.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has issued a "no-action letter" to Fuse Energy, meaning the SEC will not pursue charges against them regarding the sale of their native token, ENERGY. The SEC determined that the ENERGY token doesn't meet the criteria to be classified as a security under the Howey test because investors are seeking utility within the Fuse network, not expecting profits from the company's success. This decision is seen as positive news for the altcoin market, especially with delays in the Clarity Act. Fuse Energy operates on the Solana network, and this ruling is expected to benefit utility coins. Senator Tim Scott anticipates the Clarity Act could be enacted next year.

The crypto community is upset with JPMorgan, accusing them of contributing to a market crash on October 10th. This crash was partly triggered by a proposal from MSCI, a company that creates indexes, to potentially remove companies heavily invested in Bitcoin, like Strategy, from major indexes. JPMorgan released a negative report around the same time, which some believe amplified the market panic while they were allegedly increasing their own crypto holdings. This has led to calls for a boycott of JPMorgan. Strategy's Michael Saylor defended his company, stating it's more than just a Bitcoin holding company. The market is now waiting for MSCI's final decision in January, which will impact Strategy's future. Despite the turmoil, there are signs of potential market recovery, with Bitcoin's price rising and increased odds of interest rate cuts.

Bitcoin's price increased, rising above $88,000 following positive comments from U.S. President Trump regarding the relationship between the United States and China. Trump stated that the relationship between the two countries was extremely strong after a call with Chinese President Xi Jinping. This news shifted market sentiment, leading to the Bitcoin price increase. The price reached an intraday high of $88,400, nearly 2% higher than its earlier low of $85,000, and is now targeting $90,000. Market analysts anticipate a potential price recovery due to improving market liquidity. Some experts suggest that as the Federal Reserve potentially eases its monetary policy and with the U.S. government taking on more debt, Bitcoin could perform well.

The Grayscale XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) has launched, joining Bitwise in offering XRP exposure. Franklin Templeton may also list an XRP ETF soon. This increased ETF activity is viewed as a sign of growing institutional interest in XRP. XRP's price is currently around $2.05, after finding support at $1.90. A break above $2.20 is needed to confirm a trend reversal, with potential targets at $2.60 and $3.50. The article also mentions Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a new Layer 2 solution for Bitcoin, which has raised $27 million in a presale. Bitcoin Hyper aims to bring Solana's speed and low costs to the Bitcoin network, allowing users to stake, lend, and earn yield on their BTC.

Worldcoin (WLD) is showing signs of stability, trading between $0.59 and $0.62. Open interest, which reflects the total value of outstanding contracts, is holding steady, indicating a balance between buyers and sellers. Currently priced around $0.61, WLD has seen a slight increase of 0.96% in the last 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $1.42 billion and a trading volume of $109.68 million. Technical indicators suggest the coin is under pressure, trading near the lower Bollinger Band at $0.555, with the broader trend favoring sellers. The coin needs to break above $0.70 to shift momentum towards buyers; otherwise, it is expected to continue trading within a narrow range, closely watching the $0.60 support level.

Despite the U.S. government shutting down the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was expected to negatively impact Dogecoin, the cryptocurrency's price has surprisingly increased. Dogecoin is up 1.1% in the last 24 hours with trading volumes up 20%. After recently dropping from $0.15 to $0.13, Dogecoin appears to be holding at the $0.13 support level, a level that previously led to a doubling in price. If the pattern repeats, the cryptocurrency could potentially increase by 100%. The coin may first try to reach $0.29, and if it continues to rise, it could reach its November 2024 peak of $0.47. The memecoin Maxi Doge ($MAXI) has raised over $4 million in its presale.

Senator Cynthia Lummis has criticized JPMorgan for its anti-crypto policies and called for an end to what she calls Operation Chokepoint 2.0. This follows JPMorgan closing the accounts of Jack Mallers, CEO of the Bitcoin payment firm Strike, citing unspecified concerning activity. Lummis argues that JPMorgan's actions damage trust in traditional banks and hinder the growth of the digital asset industry in the U.S. She believes this could lead to the U.S. losing its leadership position in digital finance as companies move to countries with more favorable regulations. Operation Chokepoint 2.0 is seen as an effort to restrict crypto firms' access to banking services, which critics say harms the industry. Despite launching its own stablecoin and exploring blockchain, JPMorgan remains cautious about cryptocurrency, which Lummis believes needs to change.

XRP's price increased by 9% to $2.27 following the launch of spot XRP ETFs by Franklin Templeton and Grayscale. These firms, along with Bitwise and Canary Capital, are now offering regulated investment products for XRP. Franklin Templeton's ETF, XRPZ, tracks XRP's performance via the CME CF XRP-Dollar Reference Rate and uses Coinbase Custody. Grayscale introduced its XRP Trust ETF, GXRP, with a zero-fee introductory period. Bitwise reported $100 million in initial inflows into its XRP ETF a week earlier. These launches followed Ripple's $125 million settlement with the SEC in May 2025, resolving regulatory uncertainty and encouraging institutional investment. Prospectuses mention risks such as volatility and limited diversification. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is known for fast, low-fee transactions, processing over 3.3 billion transfers and settling transactions in seconds. Some analysts believe XRP could be involved in cross-border payment corridors, potentially involving China through indirect exposure via the BRICS New Development Bank and SBI Holdings. BRICS business council recommendations in April 2025 supported cross-border digital settlements, aligning with XRP's functionality. The European Central Bank is also exploring cross-border payment infrastructure with Project Nexus.

A cryptocurrency investor in San Francisco lost $11 million in cryptocurrency, a cellphone, and a laptop after being targeted in a home invasion. The robber, disguised as a delivery driver, gained access to the victim's home on November 22, 2025, bound the victim with duct tape, and forced them to transfer cryptocurrency from their wallet. The San Francisco Police Department is investigating the incident. This incident is part of a growing trend of crimes targeting crypto holders, sometimes called wrench attacks, with a reported 65% increase in such cases this year. These attacks often involve immediate fund transfers, making recovery difficult even if the perpetrators are apprehended.

The cryptocurrency TON experienced an 8.33% price increase, reaching $1.60, which outperformed the overall crypto market's 4% gain. This surge is attributed to several factors including the launch of COCOON, a Telegram-integrated AI network, along with the integration of tokenized U.S. stock trading within Telegram wallets. Other factors included Lamborghini launching digital collectibles on the TON blockchain, Chainlink designating TON as a cross-chain standard, and increased support through new listings on crypto exchanges such as Bitstamp. Technical indicators also suggest positive market momentum with increased trading volume and the price bouncing back from low levels.

CME Group is launching futures contracts for XRP and Solana on December 15, pending regulatory approval. These contracts will be based on real-time spot prices, which may provide lower margin requirements. XRP has seen $179.6 million in inflows into spot ETF products this week, while Solana attracted $128.2 million in inflows into ETFs. CME Group's decision reflects growing institutional demand for exposure to these altcoins, giving institutions more access through hedging tools and potentially greater capital efficiency.

Teucrium Trading CEO Sal Gilbertie believes Ripple, the company behind the XRP cryptocurrency, has the potential to become a major competitor to traditional financial institutions like JPMorgan Chase and SWIFT. Gilbertie highlighted Ripple's efforts to build a comprehensive financial institution and its pursuit of a US national banking charter. He emphasized that XRP is a strategic asset for Ripple and its value is intended to increase over time through its use in the XRP Ledger ecosystem. Gilbertie's comments are viewed by some in the crypto community as validation of XRP's growing role in institutional finance, especially with the upcoming implementation of ISO 20022 standards and increased inflows into XRP exchange-traded funds.

XRP is currently trading around $2.04, showing a 6.4% increase in the last 24 hours, although it's still down over the past week and month. Analysts are watching the $2.00 to $2.10 range closely, as breaking above $2.10 could signal a positive shift. There's strong support for XRP around $1.75, where a significant amount of XRP was previously bought. If the price continues to rise, the next major area of resistance is near $2.60. Recent news includes Ripple investing $500 million to grow its network and a decrease in XRP available on the Binance exchange, which could potentially help the price. However, there are risks, like a large number of sell orders between $2.00 and $2.10 that could stop the rally. A drop below $1.90, declining volume, or rejection at $2.10 could indicate the rally is failing. Overall, the market is cautiously optimistic, and whether XRP can maintain momentum and push towards higher price targets depends on upcoming price action and volume.

Crypto markets are anticipating significant volatility this week due to upcoming U.S. economic data releases, including the Producer Price Index (PPI), jobless claims, and the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Index. These data points will influence expectations regarding Federal Reserve interest rate policy. A shift towards anticipating rate cuts has increased to a roughly 70% probability of a 25-basis-point cut and spurred hopes for a crypto rebound after Bitcoin's recent price drop. The U.S. markets being closed on November 27 and having shortened trading hours on November 28 could amplify price swings in crypto due to lower trading volumes. The SEC's upcoming decisions on multiple crypto ETFs, including those tied to Solana and XRP, are also being closely watched as they could lead to substantial institutional investment. Regulatory actions from other countries, like Korea's crackdown on crypto exchanges, are adding to the industry's compliance costs, resulting in a crucial period for crypto markets that will determine their performance into December.

Bitcoin's recovery to $85,000 is creating positive momentum for other cryptocurrencies, known as altcoins. The article highlights three altcoins, Undead Games (UDS), Kite (KITE), and Wefi (WFI), that have the potential to reach new all-time high prices before the end of November. UDS is currently trading at $2.33 and is about 24.3% away from its all-time high of $2.90; it needs to break through resistance levels at $2.48 and $2.59 to reach this target. Kite is priced at $0.098, approximately 35% below its all-time high of $0.133, and needs to maintain support at $0.099 to continue its upward trend. Wefi is trading at $2.17, just below its all-time high of $2.25 set last week and only needs a slight push to reach a new record. However, if market support weakens for any of these altcoins, their prices could decline, invalidating the positive outlook.

Binance and its founder, Changpeng Zhao, are facing a new federal lawsuit filed by 306 American families of victims of the October 7, 2023, attack in Israel. The lawsuit alleges that Binance facilitated over $1 billion in transactions to sanctioned terror organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah before the attack. The plaintiffs claim Binance failed to monitor inbound funds, allowing these groups to move money undetected. Forensic evidence allegedly connects Binance transactions to accounts in Gaza, Lebanon, Venezuela, and even a Hamas-linked account in North Dakota. Changpeng Zhao previously pleaded guilty to violating U.S. anti-money laundering laws and served a four-month prison sentence before receiving a pardon and Binance paid over $4 billion in penalties for related compliance failures. The lawsuit seeks financial damages and legal remedies from Zhao and Binance.

FLOKI is showing signs of stabilization around $0.000045-$0.000046 after a recent decline, but the overall trend is still bearish. Open interest in FLOKI derivatives has decreased, suggesting less speculative activity and cautious sentiment among traders. BraveNewCoin data indicates a slight increase of 1.77% to a price of $0.00004646, placing its market capitalization at $444.8 million and ranking it at 162. Trading volume is stable at $35.6 million, with recent trading ranging between $0.000044 and $0.000047. Technical indicators suggest the price remains below the Bollinger Band line ($0.000055), and the MACD indicates weak momentum. Key levels to watch are the $0.000055 resistance and the $0.000044-$0.000045 support; breaking below this support could lead to further declines.

Solana (SOL) has seen significant institutional investment, with $510 million flowing into SOL-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs), while Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows of $1.22 billion during the same period. This shift indicates institutions are accumulating Solana despite broader market uncertainty. Four new Solana ETF offerings boosted demand, with inflows doubling to over $128 million. Solana's price is currently around $130, and analysts are watching the $120 level as a key support area. A potential breakout above $205 could lead to a price target of $500, with a longer-term target of $1,000 if retail participation joins institutional investment. Additionally, a new meme coin called Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is generating interest, having raised almost $4.2 million in its presale.

Binance and its co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) are facing a lawsuit filed in North Dakota federal court by 306 plaintiffs, including victims and relatives of the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. The lawsuit alleges that Binance laundered over $1 billion for terrorist groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, with more than $50 million processed after the recent attacks. The plaintiffs claim Binance intentionally acted as a haven for illegal activity. The complaint highlights suspicious cryptocurrency transactions, including some traced to Kindred, North Dakota. Binance states it complies with international sanctions laws and has not commented on specific case details. Binance and Zhao are also defending against a similar lawsuit in Manhattan federal court alleging they provided funding for Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad over several years.

Revolut, a London-based fintech company, has reached a valuation of $75 billion after an employee share sale. This sale, the fifth such event for Revolut employees, was backed by major investment firms including Coatue, Greenoaks, Fidelity, Dragoneer, a16z, and Nvidia's NVentures. In 2024, Revolut reported a 72% increase in revenue, reaching $4 billion, and a 149% rise in pre-tax profit, hitting $1.4 billion. The company is expanding its services, having secured banking licenses in Mexico and Colombia and planning to launch in India next year. Revolut also obtained a MiCA license in Cyprus, enabling it to offer crypto services across 30 European nations. There are reports that Revolut may be considering a dual listing in London and New York for a future IPO.

The Monad (MON) token experienced a significant price increase of over 35% within 24 hours of its launch on November 24th, trading around $0.035 after starting near $0.025. This rise occurred despite a general downturn in the crypto market, where Bitcoin fell below $90,000 and the total market value dropped by over $1 trillion since October. Approximately 76,000 wallets claimed 3.33 billion MON tokens from an airdrop of 4.73 billion tokens, with another 7.5 billion unlocked from a Coinbase token sale. The airdrop alone was valued at approximately $105 million at early trading prices. The token's successful launch, with listings on major exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken, is attributed to interest in Monad's technology and a distribution strategy that focused on early users and public sale participants.

Bitcoin is trying to reach $90,000 again, which is causing some related stocks to move. Bitcoin's price is currently above $86,000, and if it breaks through $90,000, it might head towards $92,000 or even $100,000. However, if it falls below $84,000, it could weaken. Some crypto-related stocks are reacting to these market changes. Bitmine Immersion Technologies saw its stock price increase, and the company also acquired a large amount of Ethereum. Strategy Inc Class A stock decreased, while Gemini Space Station shares increased slightly. Overall, these stocks are being influenced by Bitcoin's price movements and the general sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, is scheduled to unlock 9.92 million HYPE tokens, valued at $314 million, on Saturday. This single unlock event represents 2.66% of the total HYPE token supply. The large, simultaneous release has generated worries within the Hyperliquid community about potential price declines due to increased selling pressure. Concerns have been raised regarding the team's plans for managing the unlocked tokens, with calls for greater transparency to reassure investors. Even BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes cautioned that verbal commitments are insufficient to prevent market instability, suggesting substantial revenue growth is necessary to offset the impact of the increased token supply. Reactions to the unlock are divided, with some defending the team's right to their tokens and highlighting the platform's strong performance, while others remain anxious about the potential market effects.

Bitcoin's price has recently decreased after reaching a high in October, but analysts believe it's a normal market correction. XRP is highlighted for its potential to improve global payments and has seen positive developments like new ETFs and possible regulatory advancements. Bitcoin is still seen as a major player and could potentially reach $200,000 by 2026 if certain policy changes occur. Dogecoin, originally a meme coin, maintains a strong market presence with growing adoption by companies like Tesla and PayPal. Finally, Bitcoin Hyper is a new project combining meme branding with Bitcoin layer-2 technology, aiming for faster and cheaper transactions, with its presale already raising over $28.3 million.

BitMine Immersion Technologies has invested approximately $60 million to purchase 21,000 ETH, demonstrating confidence in Ethereum's long-term potential despite recent market downturns. This move comes as BitMine faces an estimated $4 billion in paper losses due to a 30% price decline in the past month. The company is shifting its focus from passive holding to actively generating yield through staking. BitMine's Chairman, Thomas Lee, attributes current market pressures to a liquidity shock, drawing parallels to the 2022 post-FTX recovery. The article also highlights a potential bullish head-and-shoulders pattern forming on Ethereum's price chart, suggesting a possible upward trend if the pattern fully materializes and the neckline is reclaimed around $5,500, potentially reaching $10,000 with wider adoption. It also mentions PepeNode ($PEPENODE) as an alternative investment strategy in the meme coin sector, noting its presale success and high APY for early stakers.

DeepSeek AI, a Chinese AI model, has provided potential price predictions for XRP, Solana, and Cardano by the end of 2025, noting potential downside if market conditions don't improve. For XRP, a negative scenario could see the price fall to $1, while a positive one could reach $10, especially if XRP spot ETFs are approved. Solana could drop to $30 in a bear market, but a bull market might push it to $750, driven by developments in real-world asset tokenization. Cardano could see a significant increase to $10, but it could also fall to $0.18 under negative conditions. The article also mentions a new meme coin called Maxi Doge ($MAXI) which is outside of DeepSeek AI's predictions and has raised almost 4.2 million in its presale.

Tether increased its investment in Rumble, a video streaming platform, by purchasing 1,063,670 additional shares for $5.75 million. This brings Tether's total ownership to approximately 104.4 million shares, valued at around $680 million. Following this purchase, Rumble's stock price increased by 14%. Tether and Rumble have been expanding their partnership, which includes acquiring Northern Data and integrating crypto tipping features like Bitcoin and USDT for content creators on Rumble's platform. Rumble stock has fallen nearly 50% since the beginning of the year, and it now trades at $6.51.

Cardano and Dogecoin are preparing for potential price increases in December, contingent on Bitcoin's stability. Cardano's founder anticipates the launch of Midnight, a privacy-focused platform, could significantly increase the value locked in the Cardano ecosystem, with price forecasts suggesting a potential rise to $0.558 by late December. Dogecoin's price pattern indicates a possible breakout if market conditions improve, potentially reaching $0.16 by late 2025. The overall market recovery depends on Bitcoin maintaining its price level; otherwise, the anticipated rallies in Cardano and Dogecoin may not materialize.

BNB's price is currently around $848.58, reflecting a slight 0.70% increase in the last 24 hours. However, it has fallen from a high of near $1375 in early November. The market is currently indecisive, with traders waiting to see if the price breaks above $860 or below $840. Open interest, which reflects the number of outstanding contracts, has flattened, suggesting that traders are not making strong directional bets. Technical indicators point towards a bearish outlook. If the price breaks below $840, it could fall further, potentially testing the $815 level. BNB has a market cap of $116.84 billion and a daily trading volume of $1.33 billion. The circulating supply is 137.7 million BNB.

Bitcoin experienced a significant price drop from around $107,000 to $81,000 recently, causing concern in the crypto market. However, data suggests this was primarily a Bitcoin sell-off, not an Ethereum collapse. Bitcoin's price fell more dramatically, with liquidations wiping out nearly $2 billion in positions. Ethereum, on the other hand, held up relatively better, with fewer tokens available for selling due to staking and coin removal mechanisms. While Bitcoin's valuation metrics indicate a mid-cycle reset, Ethereum faces risks from high leverage in the derivatives market, meaning traders are borrowing large amounts to trade, which could lead to further price drops if the price declines. The current market conditions are described as volatile with sharp price swings, making on-chain data crucial for understanding the situation. Currently, BTC is trading around $86,000 and ETH is sitting near $2,800.

Solana's price is currently holding steady, prompting speculation about a potential return of bullish market sentiment. Solana is ranked number one in DEX volume and app revenue. Despite being down 50% from September, Solana's fundamentals remain strong. The analysis focuses on Solana's performance against Bitcoin, looking for confirmations of outperformance. Key price levels to watch include $170, which needs to be reclaimed to resume a bullish trend, and a potential test of the MA200 if the SOLBTC relationship falters. On the daily chart, $170 is also a critical level; a break above it would signal a market structure break. The RSI, which has been bottoming for most of November, suggests the possibility of a trading range forming. On the 4-hour timeframe, $144 is identified as the next low timeframe resistance. A drop below $100 would be a negative signal for investors. Traders are advised to wait for key levels and meet pre-set conditions before entering positions, emphasizing the importance of risk management.

XRP and SUI cryptocurrencies are leading a recovery in the crypto market. Bitcoin's price has surpassed $69,000. However, Bitcoin's upward momentum is expected to face resistance around the $70,000 mark, as indicated by a trader.

AVAX One, formerly an agriculture technology company called AgriFORCE Growing Systems, spent $110 million to purchase 9,377,475 AVAX tokens between November 5 and 23, 2025, at an average price of $11.73 per token. This acquisition brings their total AVAX holdings to over 13.8 million tokens, worth approximately $193 million. The company, which rebranded to focus on building an Avalanche-focused digital asset treasury, intends to use its remaining $35 million in cash for further token acquisitions and share buybacks. They also plan to raise up to $550 million for additional acquisitions. Anthony Scaramucci, founder of SkyBridge Capital, heads AVAX One's advisory board. The company received approval for a $40 million share repurchase program and sees current market conditions as favorable for accumulating more AVAX.

Dogecoin is showing potential signs of a price reversal after weeks of decline, although trading volume is low, suggesting weak buyer confidence. A market indecision doji formed, leading to hopes of a bullish shift, but a sustained recovery above $0.17 is needed to confirm this. A potential 'death cross' pattern raises concerns about renewed selling pressure if the price weakens. Dogecoin has fallen back to a critical support zone near $0.14682 after failing to sustain rallies to $0.25 and $0.26. How the price behaves at this support level will determine its next major move; holding firm could lead to a rebound, while a breakdown could deepen the downtrend.

Ethereum's Devcon 8, a major conference for Ethereum developers, will be held in Mumbai, India, in the fourth quarter of 2026. This selection acknowledges India's growing importance in the crypto development space, as reports indicate it added the most new crypto developers worldwide in 2024. The decision was influenced by the presence of local groups, startups, and initiatives like ETHMumbai. While India's 30% tax on crypto gains and 1% TDS on crypto transactions may affect foreign attendees' budgets, the event is expected to boost the Indian crypto community. The conference aims to bring together core protocol researchers, app developers, and community organizers, potentially leading to increased investor attention, partnerships, hiring, and visibility for local projects. Details regarding ticket prices, visa support, and local partnerships are still to be released.

BNB's price has recovered, rising 1.88% to around $863 after falling to $833. This recovery pushed the price above some levels where it had previously struggled, but the trading volume was not very high, indicating some uncertainty about the strength of the rebound. Key price levels to watch are $870 as a potential target if the price continues to rise, and $832-$836 as a crucial support level that needs to hold to prevent further price drops. Despite this recovery, BNB's performance is still weaker compared to the overall cryptocurrency market.

BNB experienced a 1.88% recovery, reaching approximately $863 after an earlier dip to $833. This rebound follows a previous breach of the $800 support level, which had triggered increased selling. The recovery pushed past resistance near $855, but trading volume during the rebound was moderate. Key levels to watch are $870 as a potential upside target, and the $832-$836 range as a critical support level. Despite the recovery, BNB's performance lags behind the broader crypto market, which saw a 4% increase during the same period.

Anthropic has launched its latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.5, designed for complex tasks like coding and data analysis. This release follows closely after the launch of Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Claude Haiku 4.5. The company's valuation recently reached $350 billion after significant funding from Microsoft and Nvidia. Anthropic claims Opus 4.5 outperforms competitors like Google's Gemini 3 Pro and OpenAI's GPT5.1 in coding skill benchmarks. It will be the default model for Anthropic's Pro, Max, and Enterprise paid services. Along with the new model, Anthropic released updates including Claude for Chrome to all Max customers, Claude for Excel to all Max, Team and Enterprise users, and Claude Code to its desktop software.

Bitcoin's price has increased to above $89,000, indicating a potential shift towards positive market momentum. This rise follows a period of significant liquidations of traders holding long positions. The optimism is partly fueled by expectations of a potential interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in December 2025. Traders are anticipating that a rate cut and quantitative easing by the Federal Reserve will inject more cash into the markets. Improved relations between the United States and China are also contributing to a more positive global economic outlook. Increased investment from large institutional investors, like Michael Saylor's company, is also driving demand for Bitcoin. Technical analysis suggests Bitcoin might be heading towards a new all-time high, similar to gold's recent performance, with rising stablecoin supply indicating increased buying activity.

The European Central Bank (ECB) has issued a report stating that stablecoins pose a risk to financial stability. The ECB believes stablecoins are susceptible to losing their peg to the asset they are meant to mirror, and this could negatively impact traditional financial markets in the US and Europe. The ECB highlights the possibility of investors losing faith in a stablecoin's ability to be redeemed, which could trigger a 'bank run' scenario. Given that stablecoin issuers like Circle and Tether hold significant amounts of U.S. Treasuries, a run on these stablecoins could force a fire sale of those treasury holdings, potentially destabilizing the $25 trillion U.S. Treasury market.

Nvidia has publicly refuted claims made by Michael Burry, who suggested the company was potentially involved in fraudulent activities and misreporting depreciation. Nvidia issued a memo to analysts, stating that Burry's accusations misrepresented its financial operations and accounting practices. Specifically, Nvidia denied using special-purpose vehicles or vendor financing, and clarified that its strategic investments were small relative to its revenue, totaling approximately $3.7 billion in the third quarter and $4.7 billion year-to-date. The company also addressed concerns about cash flow, margins, and risk, highlighting its $23.8 billion operating cash flow and $22.1 billion free cash flow in the third quarter. Furthermore, Nvidia defended its warranty costs, bad debt expense, and addressed concerns about SEC probes and crypto volatility, stating they do not affect their accounting. Raymond James analyst Simon Leopold supported Nvidia's stance, stating that the fraud narrative is inconsistent with Nvidia's fundamentals.

Donald Trump announced a positive phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, indicating potential renewed cooperation between the U.S. and China. Discussions covered the war in Ukraine, fentanyl trafficking, and a new deal benefiting U.S. farmers. Trump highlighted the agricultural agreement as a major win and signaled strengthening economic ties. Trump accepted an invitation to visit China in April, and Xi is expected to visit the U.S. later this year. This renewed cooperation aims to ease market uncertainty across sectors such as agriculture, manufacturing, and global supply chains.

Hedera (HBAR) has experienced a 13% price increase, climbing from around $0.133 to over $0.150 within a day. This rally is attributed to the formation of a triple bottom pattern within a demand zone that has shown buying interest for several months. The price movement broke out of a falling channel, signaling a potential shift towards upward momentum. Increased trading volume accompanied the price increase, suggesting stronger market participation. Hedera is currently holding above the mid-$0.14 level, which is considered a key support area for continued upward movement.

Filecoin's price increased by 2% after surpassing a price barrier of $1.63.

A dormant cryptocurrency wallet linked to the LIBRA meme coin moved $9 million after being inactive for nine months. This activity occurred while the US justice system is considering freezing related funds as part of an ongoing investigation. The funds, in the form of 69,000 SOL, were transferred through a series of addresses in a way that suggests an attempt to hide their destination. This movement has prompted an emergency request in a class-action lawsuit, seeking to halt further fund movements before more assets disappear. Lawyers for the plaintiffs fear the defendants may try to convert the remaining assets into privacy coins, which would erase the transaction history and make the funds untraceable. They point to previous instances where anonymization tools and privacy protocols were used to obscure the movement of LIBRA-related funds, including a test run using the NEAR Intents protocol and Zcash, and the conversion of $60 million in USDC into SOL. A court hearing is scheduled to address the request for injunctive relief to determine whether the remaining funds can be traced or if they will disappear completely.

Tom Lees' company, BitMine, has purchased an additional $205 million worth of Ether, increasing their total Ether holdings to over $10 billion. This substantial purchase signifies a major investment in the cryptocurrency by BitMine.

Hyperliquid, a decentralized exchange, is preparing for a significant token unlock of 9.92 million HYPE tokens, valued at $314 million, scheduled for Saturday. This unlock represents 2.66% of the total HYPE supply and has raised concerns within the community about potential sell pressure and the team's plans for managing these tokens. The HYPE token has already experienced a decline of over 23% in the past month, trading around $31, and is nearly 46% below its all-time high. Market analysts indicate weakening momentum and liquidity outflows for HYPE, with key support levels being tested. While Hyperliquid remains a high-volume platform in the decentralized perpetuals market, concerns about transparency and potential market instability persist as the token unlock approaches. Despite the concerns, Hyperliquid leads the sector in open interest, with more than $6.3 billion in active positions.

Bitcoin's price has recently become more volatile, and analysts believe options trading may be influencing these movements. Implied volatility, which had been relatively low since the approval of US Bitcoin ETFs, is now increasing. This rise can amplify price swings as traders quickly adjust their positions based on options contracts. Bitcoin experienced a price drop below $65,000, leading to liquidations of leveraged positions and profit-taking by long-term holders. While some see this as tactical rebalancing, others suggest options positioning is making price action sharper due to hedging activities. Furthermore, the market is pricing in a higher probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December, which could further impact risk assets like Bitcoin. Traders are closely monitoring December for signals from both macroeconomic policy and options markets to determine the future direction of Bitcoin's price.

Bitcoin's price is currently around $86,000 after bouncing back from a low of $84,500 over the weekend. It's facing resistance in the $88,000 to $90,000 range, which has historically been a tough level to break. Some analysts suggest the price might fluctuate between $82,200 and $85,800, offering chances for short-term trades. Market sentiment is leaning towards 'risk-on,' supported by positive trends in the stock market and a decrease in market volatility. A successful break above the $88,000-$90,000 resistance could lead to further price increases, while failure to do so could result in a drop towards $82,000. While there's moderate selling pressure from smaller traders, larger institutional investors aren't significantly withdrawing their holdings. Short-term traders should watch the resistance level closely, while long-term investors might view any dips as buying opportunities.

According to Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, China may already have indirect exposure to XRP through financial channels like the BRICS New Development Bank (NDB) and SBI Holdings. XRP's payment rails are reportedly facilitating international transactions in regions with financial ties to China, Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Aljarrah suggests that XRP functions as a neutral settlement asset in a multi-polar world, essential for maintaining liquidity and stability across international corridors, which explains why global institutions continue to invest in it. Aljarrah also mentioned that the XRP market is showing signs of renewed fear, with potential volatility ahead, which is intended to shake out weaker positions before the cryptocurrency reaches its true valuation.

Three altcoins, XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Tensor (TNSR), are at risk of significant liquidations in the final week of November. XRP could see $300 million in short positions liquidated if it rises to $2.32, and $237 million in long positions liquidated if it falls to $1.82. The launch of Grayscale's XRP ETF and whale selling activity are contributing factors. Dogecoin's Grayscale ETF launch may boost its price, potentially liquidating $159 million in short positions if it goes above $0.16, but whale selling could cause a drop, liquidating over $100 million in long positions if it goes below $0.13. Tensor (TNSR), after a large rally and correction, faces potential short liquidations of nearly $6 million if it reaches $0.19 and long liquidations exceeding $5 million if it drops to $0.11, with concerns about price manipulation and concentrated ownership adding to the risk.

Exodus, a company that makes cryptocurrency wallets, is acquiring Baanx and Monavate for $175 million. Baanx provides crypto lending and card services, while Monavate is a payment card issuer. This acquisition will allow Exodus to offer its users more financial services, including the ability to borrow against their crypto holdings and spend their crypto using debit cards.

BMW is considering adding range extenders, small gasoline engines that charge the battery, to some of its larger electric vehicles like the X5 and 7 Series, primarily for the Chinese market. This move comes as BMW and other German automakers are losing ground to Chinese brands like BYD, which offer cheaper and more flexible electric SUVs. Range extenders address concerns about battery range on long trips, a common preference among Chinese and U.S. drivers. Extended-range EV sales have more than doubled in China, now accounting for 30% of plugin hybrid sales. The range extender technology could also spread to the U.S. market, Stellantis will launch the Ramcharger, an extendedrange version of the Ram 1500 with a projected 690mile range, and Volkswagens Scout brand is planning rugged rangeextended SUVs for the U.S. market. The appeal of this technology lies in its potential to lower the vehicle cost by about $4,000 due to a smaller battery and eliminate the need for frequent stops at charging stations.

The article indicates that Shiba Inu's price might increase soon based on three observed factors. However, the article does not explicitly name them.

Ethereum's price is hovering around $2,800, maintaining support but struggling against resistance. Despite a recent market crash, one company, BitMine, has increased its Ethereum holdings by over $80 million, showing long-term confidence. An analyst suggests Ethereum might fall to $1,500 or even $1,000, identifying these levels as potential buying opportunities. Another analyst points out that if Ethereum fails to maintain above $2,850-$2,900, it could drop to $2,500. Trading volume has significantly increased by 40% to $24 billion.

With Bitcoin trading around $88,000, attention is turning to Michael Saylor's MicroStrategy and their average cost for Bitcoin. MicroStrategy added 8,000 BTC between November 10 and 16 at approximately $102,000. Sustained Bitcoin prices below MicroStrategy's overall average purchase price could pressure the company's balance sheet flexibility. The company's ability to continue buying Bitcoin relies on issuing securities, so the stock market's appetite for those securities is also a factor. Besides MicroStrategy's actions, factors like ETF flows, stablecoin supply, and order book depth also influence Bitcoin's price and market stability. MicroStrategy's toolkit is visible in filings, and market reports that describe common equity sales, preferred issuance, and a standing intent to continue using capital markets to add coins through 2027.

The article suggests Bitcoin market cycles are still relevant, predicting a potential bear market bottom that hasn't yet occurred, possibly in early 2026. A sharp, fast decline could push Bitcoin to around $49,000, attracting institutional buyers. Miner economics, including fee revenue and the shift to AI/HPC hosting, will play a key role. Low fees and stressed miners could lead to further price drops. ETF flows, miner revenue, and miner behavior (especially AI/HPC diversification) will determine the depth of the downturn. BlackRock's IBIT ETF saw a $523 million outflow, demonstrating flow elasticity. Fee revenue from inscriptions has declined. The base-case scenario is a $49,000 bottom in early 2026, contingent on specific conditions like low fee share (below 10-15%), new lows in hashprice, and negative ETF flows. A recovery depends on institutional buyers entering at lower prices. The article also outlines alternative scenarios: a 'soft landing' with a shallower dip, and a 'deep cut' potentially reaching $36,000-$42,000.

Solana's price is facing downward pressure, recently hitting a three-month low with almost 80% of its circulating supply currently showing losses for holders. Analysis of liquidity maps suggests potential upside targets at $120 and $145-$150 if the market shifts upward. Momentum indicators show early signs of strength, with potential for a relief bounce if the current support level holds. A descending channel pattern indicates a possible move towards $160-$165 if the $130 support remains intact. Overall, Solana is at a critical point where its next move depends on market conditions, particularly Bitcoin's performance, requiring traders to be cautious.

Grayscale and Franklin Templeton have launched spot XRP ETFs on the NYSE Arca, expanding access to regulated altcoin investments in the US. Grayscale also introduced the first US-listed Dogecoin ETF. To attract early investment, Grayscale is waiving management fees on its XRP and Dogecoin ETFs for the first three months or until assets reach $1 billion, after which a 0.4% fee will apply. Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF has a 0.2% annual fee, waived on the first $5 billion in assets until May 2026. These new ETFs aim to provide simpler exposure to XRP and Dogecoin, potentially driving institutional adoption and increasing market liquidity for these cryptocurrencies. Market observers anticipate that these ETFs may serve as a link between traditional markets and blockchain ecosystems, potentially leading to the launch of additional altcoin products.

Optimism (OP) is trading around $0.31, showing little movement after a recent price drop from $0.38. Trading activity, measured by open interest, is low, suggesting a lack of strong buying interest. The price is up slightly in the last 24 hours, but it's staying within a narrow range. Technical indicators like Bollinger Bands and MACD suggest that sellers are still in control, and the price needs to break above $0.38 with strong buying activity to signal a potential recovery.

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of Ethereum, has publicly criticized X (formerly Twitter) for its new feature that labels user accounts by country of origin. Buterin argues that this geo-inference system, which determines a user's location using data like IP addresses, poses a threat to privacy. He believes that while the feature is intended to increase transparency and combat misinformation, it's easily circumvented by sophisticated users who can fake their locations. Buterin predicts that this could lead to political manipulation and the spread of disinformation from accounts falsely appearing to be from specific countries. He suggests that geo-inference should be optional and transparent, with users having the ability to opt-out. Buterin has been a long time advocate for privacy in Ethereum, believing everyone should be able to use the network safely and anonymously. He has proposed new methods for private transactions using new tools, without changing the entire system.

X, formerly Twitter, has introduced a new feature that displays the country or region associated with user accounts. This update, intended to increase accountability and combat misinformation, cannot be disabled by users. The rollout has led to a reported increase in racism and targeted harassment on the platform, with some users being singled out based on their nationality. Concerns have also emerged within the crypto community, with prominent figures warning that the feature could increase the risk of kidnapping, extortion, and other crimes by making it easier to identify and target individuals with crypto holdings. Users fear that revealing even regional location data weakens a key layer of protection offered by anonymity and could expose high-value individuals to danger.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated he favors a rate cut in December, citing concerns about the weak labor market. He anticipates the Fed will likely assess the situation on a meeting-by-meeting basis starting in January due to the upcoming release of delayed economic reports. Traders currently estimate a 70% probability of a rate cut at the December meeting. Waller is also being considered to potentially replace Jerome Powell as Fed chair. Disagreements among Fed officials regarding future rate cuts have become apparent, while Powell has remained publicly silent since late October. This internal debate has caused market volatility, with the perceived likelihood of a December rate cut fluctuating significantly based on comments from various Fed officials.
