Bitcoin's price saw a slight recovery, rising about 2% to around $84,156, after falling below $81,000. However, it struggled to stay above $85,000, causing some concern among traders. This price dip triggered a sell-off in other cryptocurrencies. There was positive news as US Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw inflows of around $240 million, suggesting renewed institutional interest after a large outflow the previous day. BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF experienced outflows, but these were largely offset by inflows into Fidelity and Grayscale's ETFs. Some analysts predict Bitcoin could rise to $103,000 before potentially falling to $56,000. Factors influencing Bitcoin's price include retail trader activity, upcoming US economic data on inflation, and overall market sentiment.

The crypto market is experiencing some turbulence. Bitcoin (BTC) initially fell to $83,540 but then climbed back to retest the $85,000 level, although it's still down 11% for the week. Factors like a weak job market and comments from a Fed official seem to be encouraging buying at lower prices. However, US Bitcoin spot ETFs have seen significant outflows in the past month. For Bitcoin to recover, it needs to surpass its 20-day and 50-day EMAs before testing higher resistance levels. Ethereum (ETH) also faced challenges, breaking below the $3,000 support level and dropping to $2,680 before finding stability above $2,700. To resume its upward trend, Ethereum needs to stay above $2,800 and recapture its 50-day EMA. Heavy liquidation around the $3,100 to $3,600 range could act as resistance. An upcoming upgrade is generating optimism, but maintaining the $2,700 level is crucial to prevent further drops.

VanEck's CEO suggested some Bitcoin supporters are increasingly interested in Zcash due to concerns about Bitcoin's encryption and privacy. He mentioned potential quantum computing risks to Bitcoin and the lack of privacy on its blockchain. This shift is driven by a growing demand for financial privacy. Arthur Hayes has also expressed confidence in Zcash as a hedge against market downturns. Currently, Zcash's price has decreased around 19% in the last 24 hours to approximately $504, even though its trading volume increased by around 8% to $2.77 billion. Analysts suggest that if Zcash reclaims a support level of $535, its price may rise to $700, but losing this level could cause a further drop.

Grayscale Investments is launching spot ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) for Dogecoin (GDOG) and XRP (GXRP) on the NYSE Arca on November 24, 2025. These ETFs will allow investors to buy these cryptocurrencies through traditional brokerage accounts without needing to manage crypto wallets directly. The launch converts Grayscale's existing private trusts into publicly traded ETFs. Before the launch, trading in Dogecoin and XRP derivatives saw increases of 30% and 51% respectively, suggesting traders were anticipating price movements. While the ETFs don't guarantee price increases, they expand access to these cryptocurrencies for more investors, including brokers and retirement funds. Market observers will be closely watching trading volume and spreads in the first few days to gauge investor interest and assess the impact on the overall crypto market, which has experienced a downturn recently.

Crypto experts are suggesting that XRP could experience a significant supply shock due to the recent launch of XRP ETFs. Two XRP ETFs from Canary Capital and Bitwise are already available, with more expected to launch soon, including funds from Grayscale, Franklin Templeton and 21Shares. While initial inflows into the first two ETFs haven't been massive, with a peak of $245 million on the first day for Canary Capital, the expectation is that increased ETF availability will drive demand and potentially reduce the available supply of XRP. One expert predicts potential daily inflows of $1 billion into these ETFs, leading to a price surge. Despite these expectations, the price of XRP is currently around $1.91, a slight decrease in the last 24 hours. A crypto expert is claiming that the altcoins price could rally to as high as $220 as these funds continue to accumulate more coins.

The United States is expected to lower tariffs on Swiss goods from 39% to 15% in early December. This change comes after Switzerland and the U.S. signed an initial agreement committing to the reduction. The previous 39% tariff, implemented in August of the previous year, negatively impacted Swiss exporters. As part of the agreement, Swiss companies have pledged to invest $200 billion in the U.S. by 2028 in sectors like chemicals, machinery, and high-tech. While experts see the tariff reduction as a positive step, they emphasize that further negotiations and parliamentary approvals are needed in both countries. The lower tariff aims to improve the competitiveness of Swiss exporters, bringing them in line with European Union rates and benefiting sectors such as machinery, watches, chemicals, and drugs. However, some observers believe that Switzerland may have conceded too much in the agreement. While the new tariff may offer relief, its full impact depends on smooth implementation, ongoing collaboration between Swiss and American officials, and potential for further exemptions for sensitive products.

The UK government, led by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, plans to allocate £1.3 billion in subsidies for new electric vehicles (EVs) and an additional £200 million for charging stations to support the EV market. This funding aims to reduce the upfront cost of EVs for consumers and expand charging infrastructure. The subsidies will be available until 2030. However, the government is also considering a new pay-per-mile tax of 3p per mile, potentially increasing the average yearly cost of owning an EV by £276. This tax aims to offset the decline in fuel duty revenue as more drivers switch to EVs. Car makers will be required to ensure that one out of every three vehicles sold in 2026 produces zero emissions. This requirement is predicted to increase to 80% in 2030.

Bitcoin traders became more optimistic after the odds of the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates in December jumped significantly, reaching 69.4%. This shift in sentiment followed dovish comments from New York Fed President John Williams, suggesting rate cuts might be possible without disrupting inflation control. While the market reacted positively to this news, some analysts caution against excessive optimism, noting that the expectation of a rate cut is not yet guaranteed. If the Federal Reserve holds rates steady, Bitcoin may remain within a range of $60,000 to $80,000, as inflation concerns continue to influence the central bank's decisions.

Solana's price is under pressure and could fall to around $100, a level not seen in over seven months. This potential drop is signaled by a 'Death Cross' formation on its price charts, which historically indicates a further price decline. If this pattern continues, Solana could drop roughly 21.8% from its current price of around $127. However, there's a possibility of a rebound if the amount of losses investors are taking stabilizes, potentially allowing the price to bounce back to $136 or even $157.

Peter Schiff is warning that investors in MicroStrategy (MSTR) could face substantial losses if Bitcoin's price drops significantly, potentially by 90%. This warning comes as Michael Saylor, MicroStrategy's chairman, defends the company's strategy, highlighting their $500 million software business and their use of Bitcoin as part of their financial approach. MicroStrategy has issued over $7.7 billion in digital credit securities this year and is developing Bitcoin-backed financial products. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is currently trading around $83,758.96, showing a downtrend with increased selling pressure. Analysts are concerned that a continued decline in Bitcoin's price could negatively impact MicroStrategy's stock and investor sentiment.

Crypto Dispensers, a Bitcoin ATM operator, is exploring a potential sale valued at around $100 million. This consideration comes shortly after the U.S. Department of Justice accused the company and its CEO, Firas Isa, of involvement in a multimillion-dollar money-laundering scheme, alleging they handled at least $10 million in illicit funds. The company faces charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, carrying a potential sentence of up to 20 years and asset forfeiture. Crypto Dispensers states the sale consideration is due to broader strategic review in a consolidating digital asset sector. The company's announcement coincides with a downturn in the cryptocurrency market, leading to decreased trading volumes and impacting revenue for crypto-related businesses. Increased regulatory scrutiny from U.S. agencies, particularly regarding anti-money laundering, adds to the financial strain, potentially driving consolidation within the crypto industry.

Elon Musk's AI project, Grokipedia, is under fire because it reportedly uses a neo-Nazi forum as a source of information. This has led to concerns about bias and misinformation in the AI. Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, revealed this information, which has prompted calls for the U.S. Office of Management and Budget to investigate and potentially restrict Grok's use by federal agencies. Grokipedia was launched as an AI-powered alternative to Wikipedia, using Musk's Grok chatbot for content generation and review. Critics point out that Grok has previously made antisemitic and racist remarks, which they attribute to its training data and design. XAI, Musks company behind Grok, has a $200 million deal with the Pentagon, and Grok is readily available to federal agencies along with other AI models like Gemini and ChatGPT. Advocates are urging authorities to review Grok's use, citing concerns about its reliability and training data, especially given its access to sensitive government information.

The Cardano blockchain experienced a brief split due to a malformed transaction that was accepted by newer node versions but rejected by older ones. This caused the network to temporarily diverge into two separate chains. Developers quickly implemented a hard fork to resolve the issue and reunite the blockchain. Cardano co-founder Charles Hoskinson identified the incident as an intentional attack by a disgruntled stake pool operator, whose wallet was identified and is now under FBI investigation. A user later claimed responsibility, stating the transaction was part of an experiment gone wrong, triggered by following AI-generated instructions. While the network remained online throughout, some stake pool operators lost block rewards. Developers are urging stake pool operators to upgrade to the latest software version.

Bitcoin is nearing its worst weekly performance in over a year and is shaping up to become its second-worst November on record. This is a deviation from historical trends, where November is usually a strong month for Bitcoin. An analyst notes that short-term Bitcoin holders are experiencing a level of pressure that the market has never seen before, with over 99% of them currently at a loss. This surpasses the levels seen during the COVID-19 crash and the FTX collapse, marking what some analysts are calling the most intense wave of capitulation in Bitcoin's history. The CEO of SwanDesk Financial cautioned against Wall Street's influence, especially when it comes to crypto.

Coinbase is acquiring Vector, a Solana-based social trading platform, to improve the speed and accessibility of on-chain trading on its exchange. The goal is to integrate Vector's technology to give Coinbase users faster access to decentralized exchange (DEX) markets, enhance execution speed, increase liquidity, and offer more assets within the Coinbase platform. Vector's team will join Coinbase to assist with this integration, and Vector's apps will eventually be discontinued. Despite the acquisition announcement, Solana's price decreased by 9% due to market liquidations, with trading volume increasing and open interest decreasing, indicating aggressive selling. Solana's price is currently around $124.51, forming a falling wedge pattern which suggests a potential 29% price increase if the $124 support level holds. However, several technical indicators suggest continued downward pressure in the short term.

Solana is experiencing increased activity on its network, even as its price has recently dropped. Data shows more users are interacting with Solana and new wallets are being created. Analysts are watching the $125-$130 price range, noting it as a potential area where buyers might step in, while a break above $130 could lead to further gains. A new proposal aims to reduce the rate at which new Solana tokens are created, making the cryptocurrency scarcer faster than originally planned. This could potentially decrease selling pressure in the long term. Market participants are watching to see if the increased network activity and the proposed supply change will help Solana's price recover.

Grayscale Research has released a report stating that Chainlink is crucial infrastructure for the growing tokenized finance sector. The report highlights Chainlink's role in providing reliable data feeds and enabling smart contracts to interact with real-world information. According to the research, Chainlink's decentralized oracle network is essential for the functioning and expansion of tokenized assets and decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Bitcoin has recently experienced a price drop of 10% in the past week, reaching a low of $80,800, and is currently trading around $84,300, which is about 32.79% below its all-time high. Despite this downturn, analyst Gert Van Lagen points to historical trends following Bitcoin halvings to suggest a potential future bull market. According to his analysis of Bitcoin's price movements since 2009, Bitcoin tends to rise significantly after each halving, potentially reaching the upper boundary of a long-term regression channel. If Bitcoin follows this pattern, Van Lagen predicts it could reach a price range of $350,000 to $400,000. He believes the true bear market will only begin after Bitcoin reaches this peak and subsequently crashes to retest a lower trend line.

US retail sales growth is expected to slow down in September, with projections indicating a 0.4% increase, slightly lower than August's 0.6% rise. This potential slowdown is attributed to high prices on everyday items and growing concerns about job security, leading consumers to cut back on spending. Consumer sentiment regarding personal finances is at its lowest since 2009. While wealthier consumers are still spending, those with lower incomes are delaying larger purchases. The labor market is cooling, with companies slowing hiring or turning to automation. Several economic indicators will be released soon, including the producer price index, durable goods orders, and jobless claims, offering a clearer picture of the economy. The Federal Reserve is under pressure to lower interest rates, and retailers are preparing for a potentially subdued Black Friday.

Coinbase is acquiring Vector, a Solana-based trading platform, to expand its trading capabilities, especially in social trading and memecoins. Vector, built by the team behind the Tensor NFT marketplace, allows users to publicly share and follow trades. The acquisition aims to improve Coinbase's access to Solana tokens and trading speed, as Solana's decentralized exchange volumes have surpassed $1 trillion in 2025. Vector's technology will be integrated into Coinbase, and Vector's team of 13 will join Coinbase. Vector's mobile and desktop apps will be discontinued. This is Coinbase's ninth acquisition in 2025, following deals like Deribit and Echo. Coinbase stock rose 1.75% after the announcement, and the TNSR token associated with Tensor rallied over 200%.

Bitcoin has experienced a price drop, causing concern among investors. On-chain data indicates that while long-term Bitcoin holders are increasing their accumulation (buying more and holding), institutional demand, particularly from US spot ETFs, is weakening, with net outflows reaching -51,000 BTC. The amount of Bitcoin available for sale in the market has decreased to 975,000 BTC, but the rate at which it's being replenished is slowing down, with liquidity expected to last around 2.74 months. The correlation between Bitcoin's price and net buying has also weakened, suggesting that price movements are increasingly based on fragile liquidity. At the time of the report, Bitcoin's price was around $83,000, and the price-to-net buying correlation was 0.72. Currently, Bitcoin is priced around $85,100, having lost approximately 1.81% in the last 24 hours.

FLOKI is experiencing a decline, trading around $0.000045. It has broken below a long-term trendline that supported its price since early 2023, indicating a potential weakening of its market structure. The price is facing resistance and needs to climb above $0.000050-$0.000053 to avoid further drops. If it fails to recover, it could fall to lower support levels around $0.000040-$0.000030. The token's price has been making lower highs throughout 2024 and 2025, reinforcing the downward trend. Currently, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows the asset as oversold, but buying interest remains limited. Intraday attempts to break above $0.0000465 have been unsuccessful, suggesting continued selling pressure.

Bitcoin rebounded from a recent low of around $80,659 to about $84,461, after falling from a peak near $125,000. Analysts are watching the $82,000-$84,000 range as a crucial support level; holding above this level could lead to a potential rise towards $125,000. However, dropping below $81,782 could cause further price declines. Reclaiming the $85,000-$86,000 level is considered important to avoid a fall below $80,000. The recent decline was influenced by weakness in tech stocks, high-leverage trading, and investor caution due to upcoming Federal Reserve decisions. The current market situation presents both opportunities and risks, with potential for high volatility. As of the time of the article, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $84,027.32, up 0.93% in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin has broken below a rising wedge pattern, causing its price to fall to a key support zone. This level is crucial because it has historically acted as a turning point for the market. Analysts are watching to see if buyers will step in and push the price back up, but momentum indicators are currently weak, and trading volume is low, suggesting a potential for further decline if the support zone fails to hold. Bitcoin has also experienced a 33% drawdown from its all-time high, a significant level historically associated with prolonged weakness and volatility in the market.

Coinbase acquired Vector.fun, a Solana-based DEX aggregator, but the deal excluded the TNSR token. The Tensor Foundation retains the NFT marketplace and the TNSR token, but the token loses its primary function linked to Vector. Following the announcement, TNSR's price surged from $0.0344 to $0.3650, then sharply dropped to $0.1566 with massive trading volume. This pattern suggests potential front-running, where individuals with prior knowledge profited before the public announcement. The acquisition gives Coinbase Solana infrastructure without the token's governance aspects, while TNSR token holders are left with a token for a diminished marketplace. Critics argue that Coinbase's acquisition model benefits equity holders but leaves token holders uncompensated, which could discourage future token investments.

The U.S. government is investigating Bitmain, a Chinese company that controls over 80% of the global Bitcoin mining equipment market, due to security concerns. Federal agents are inspecting Bitmain machines at U.S. ports, checking for hidden backdoors or vulnerabilities that could allow China to spy on America or attack its power grid. The investigation, known as Operation Red Sunset, was sparked by concerns over Chinese-owned Bitcoin mines located near sensitive U.S. facilities, including military bases and government data centers. A 2025 Senate report warned that Bitmain devices could be controlled from China. In 2017, a security flaw called Antbleed was discovered in Bitmain's equipment, raising previous security concerns. A company backed by Eric and Donald Trump Jr. purchased 16,000 Bitmain machines for $314 million in August 2025. The U.S. Commerce Department blacklisted Sophgo Technologies, a company linked to Bitmain's co-founder, for helping Huawei obtain advanced computer chips illegally. Bitmain plans to build its first U.S. factory by 2026. This investigation highlights the growing tensions between the U.S. and China over technology and the increasing importance of cryptocurrency to national security.

The cryptocurrency HBAR has experienced a significant price drop of 18% in the past week, falling to $0.130. This decline follows a breach of a $0.162 support level that had previously stabilized the price for over a month. HBAR's price movement is currently closely tied to Bitcoin, with a correlation of 0.97, meaning HBAR's value is dropping in sync with Bitcoin's recent decline to $84,408. Capital is also flowing out of HBAR, indicated by the Chaikin Money Flow sitting near an eight-month low. If the current trend continues, HBAR could potentially fall to $0.120 or even $0.110. However, a recovery is possible if HBAR rises above $0.133, with further gains above $0.145 potentially leading to $0.154 and higher.

Worldcoin (WLD) has dropped to $0.60 as investor interest weakens and technical indicators suggest further price declines. Open interest, which tracks the number of outstanding contracts, is decreasing, indicating that investors are closing their positions rather than betting on a price increase. Worldcoin experienced an 8% daily decline, bringing its market capitalization to $1.40 billion, with a daily trading volume of $254.5 million. Technical indicators, such as the MACD and Bollinger Bands, also point to continued bearish pressure, suggesting the price may fall further.

XRP is currently testing a crucial price level around $1.90, which has historically influenced its long-term price direction. Analysts are watching to see if it can hold above this level, potentially leading to a price increase towards $5. A key factor is the upcoming launch of Grayscale's Spot XRP ETF (GXRP) on Monday, which could increase market access to XRP. Technical analysts have also identified a long-term bullish pattern that suggests a potential rise to $52 if certain price levels are maintained, but failure to maintain support could see it drop as low as $0.90. While the ETF launch is expected to bring positive change, its immediate effect on the price remains uncertain, with mixed community reactions.

Binance Coin's price is weakening as fewer traders are making leveraged bets on it, suggesting less confidence in the market. Open interest, which reflects these bets, is around $808 million and trending downwards. The coin briefly fell below $820 before a slight recovery and is currently trading around $836. Market data shows a decrease in both regular trading and speculative investments in BNB. While it remains a top cryptocurrency, its trading volume is at $4.29 billion, indicating lower activity than previous months. Technical indicators suggest continued downward pressure, with the price below key levels around $933. It's approaching a support level around $833, and a failure to hold above this level could lead to further price declines. Resistance is seen near $1,033, with strong support around $600.

Strategy, a company known for its large Bitcoin holdings, released information about its financial stability related to its Bitcoin investment. The company stated it can cover its dividend obligations for the next 71 years even if Bitcoin's price stays at $85,000. They have about $8.2 billion in debt, mostly tied to Bitcoin-linked investments, with the Bitcoin price assumed at $87,300 in their model. Their analysis suggests they can handle periods where Bitcoin's price doesn't increase without having to sell their Bitcoin. However, some market analysts are criticizing Strategy's approach of consistently buying Bitcoin, arguing that the company's returns haven't been as high as they could have been compared to simply holding Bitcoin from its earlier, lower price.

Rumble has started testing a Bitcoin wallet on Android devices, allowing users to tip creators with Bitcoin, Tether's USDT stablecoin, and Tether Gold (XAUT). The test phase began on November 21, 2025, with a wider release planned for mid-December 2025. This non-custodial wallet, built through partnerships with Tether and MoonPay, lets users control their own funds and makes it easy to buy, sell, and swap crypto. Tether invested $775 million in Rumble in late 2024. Rumble's strategy includes holding Bitcoin in its treasury, with current holdings of 210.8 Bitcoin valued at around $25 million. The company plans to expand the wallet's functionality beyond tipping, enabling users to buy, store, and send various digital assets. This move aims to offer creators more direct control over their earnings and challenge traditional payment systems.

Coinbase is moving Bitcoin and Ethereum between its own internal wallets as part of a planned security update. This is a routine maintenance operation designed to improve long-term security and is not related to any security breach, market conditions, or other external factors. Users may notice large transfers of Bitcoin and Ethereum on the blockchain during this process, but it will not affect user deposits, withdrawals, or trading activity. Coinbase is warning users to be aware of potential phishing scams that may try to take advantage of the situation by impersonating Coinbase employees and asking for sensitive information or asset transfers. The wallet update does not introduce any new features for customers, policy changes, or impact any service.

The Bitcoin USD chart is currently experiencing its fourth consecutive week of price declines. Analysis of historical Bitcoin price movements suggests a pattern of roughly 1,050-day bull cycles followed by approximately 364-day bear markets. Applying this pattern to the most recent cycle, the current bear market could potentially last until September 2026. Rising Japanese bond yields and the unwinding of the Yen carry trade are adding downward pressure on Bitcoin, with large holders contributing to liquidity outflows. Bitcoin's price is currently around $83,900, and it may test the $74,000 support level. If that level is breached, a more significant decline towards $50,000 is possible. Some companies with Bitcoin treasuries may view further price declines as an opportunity to buy more coins at lower prices.

Tech companies like Meta, Oracle, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have accumulated $500 billion in debt to fund AI projects and data centers, but this debt isn't appearing on their balance sheets. They are using private lenders to secure these funds. Insurance companies and pension funds have invested $450 billion in these loans, attracted by high interest rates of around 9%, significantly higher than traditional bond yields. However, concerns are rising because the loans' value relies on the same tech companies' data center valuations, creating a potential conflict of interest. If AI projects fail to perform as expected, lenders might demand repayment, leaving behind unfinished infrastructure. This is causing unease in bond markets, as evidenced by Oracle's bankruptcy insurance costs increasing. Experts estimate that tech companies are adding $125 billion in these hidden debt obligations each quarter, requiring AI to generate high returns to remain sustainable. If AI adoption slows down, this could strain credit markets and negatively impact tech stock prices.

The article discusses potential scenarios for XRP accumulation by newly launched Spot XRP ETFs in the United States. A market commentator, Chad Steingraber, projected two possible accumulation rates. The first scenario estimates that if 12 XRP ETF issuers acquire an average of 3 million XRP per day, approximately 8.64 billion XRP could be locked into ETFs within a year. A more aggressive scenario, based on Bitwise's initial XRP ETF inflows of 5.82 million XRP per day, projects that if 12 funds acquired 6 million XRP daily, 17.28 billion XRP could be absorbed into ETFs annually. This could significantly reduce the publicly available XRP supply, depending on the accumulation strategies of major issuers like Grayscale and others. BlackRock, a major player in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, currently has no plans for an XRP ETF.

Bitcoin's recent price drop has brought one company's Bitcoin holdings close to the point where they would neither be making nor losing money overall. The company faces a critical period in the next year and a half that will determine the overall success of their Bitcoin investment strategy.

Hedera's HBAR token has dropped to $0.13, showing a 5.08% decrease in the last 24 hours. The market capitalization is now $5.56 billion, with a trading volume of $361.6 million. Open interest, which reflects trader commitment, has slightly decreased, indicating growing market caution. Technical indicators like the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) suggest continued downward pressure, and the token is trading near multi-month lows. Sellers appear to be in control, and the price is struggling to rebound, making it vulnerable to further declines if buying interest does not return.

Ethena and Nunchi are working together to expand their presence on the Hyperliquid platform. Nunchi is launching nHYPE, which allows users to stake HYPE (Hyperliquid's token) and receive a liquid token in return. This helps Nunchi meet Hyperliquid's requirements for launching new markets. Ethena's USDe will be used as the main currency for Nunchi's markets, giving traders the opportunity to earn yield on their margin. Early stakers of HYPE will get more rewards through cHIPs. Nunchi is preparing to launch its yield exchange on Hyperliquid. Nunchi's bond for HIP-3 deployment will rely on community-staked HYPE, converted into nHYPE. The nHYPE launch is scheduled for November 28, and early participants will receive higher rewards.

Optimism (OP) is facing difficulties as its price hovers around $0.30. Market activity, as measured by open interest in derivatives, has stabilized at a low level, indicating a lack of strong buying or selling interest. OP's price has declined by 14.62% in the last 24 hours, bringing its market capitalization down to $570.2 million. Trading volume shows more selling than buying. The price is trading near the lower end of its recent range, and technical indicators suggest continued selling pressure. For OP to recover, it needs to break above key resistance levels with increased buying volume; otherwise, it remains at risk of further decline.

Meta is updating its Hyperscape Capture, allowing users to invite up to eight friends into photorealistic VR replicas of real-world rooms created using the Hyperscape Capture (Beta) feature on Meta Quest 3/3S headsets or the Meta Horizon app. Users can share a link to their captured space through messaging apps. Meta highlights examples like digital replicas of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen and Chance the Rapper's living room. The ability to share Hyperscape worlds is rolling out this week, and Meta is using its Horizon Engine for improved performance. Meta also plans to launch next-generation AR glasses and is developing other wearable technologies, including a neural interface band and a smartwatch. Despite these innovations, Meta's Reality Labs reported a significant operating loss of $4.28 billion in Q4 2022, totaling $13.72 billion for the year. Meta Platforms, Inc. stock (META) closed at $594.25, up 0.9% following positive forecasts.

XRP's price has dropped below $2 as large investors, known as whales, have started selling off their holdings. In the past 48 hours, these whales have sold over $480 million worth of XRP. This selling pressure follows a period where these same investors were buying XRP, indicating a change in their confidence. A key market indicator shows that long-term XRP holders are now experiencing losses, potentially leading to more selling from short-term holders if the price increases slightly. XRP has already fallen 23% in the last 11 days and is currently trading around $1.92. If the selling continues, the price could fall further to $1.79. However, if buying support returns, XRP might recover and reclaim the $2 level.

A recent investigation revealed that major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Binance and OKX, have been used to move illicit funds from criminal activities like drug trafficking, scams, and sanctions violations. The investigation traced transactions linked to hundreds of wallet addresses associated with these crimes. Specifically, Huione Group, identified by US authorities as a money laundering concern, sent significant amounts of USDT to Binance and OKX even after both exchanges had made agreements with US authorities regarding anti-money laundering compliance. Binance received over $408 million from Huione over a year, and OKX received over $226 million in five months after their own agreement. The report also highlights the use of cash desks and anonymous crypto wallets to further obscure the movement of these funds, making it difficult for exchanges to track illicit activity. Scam victims have also had their stolen funds moved through these platforms, with at least $340 million being stolen from investors via crypto investment platforms.

Dogecoin is currently trading around $0.138, a roughly 3% drop, and analysts are watching key support levels to predict its next move. If Dogecoin stays above $0.14, it could potentially rise towards $0.18 or even $0.20. However, if it falls below $0.14 and selling pressure continues, it could drop significantly to around $0.07. Currently, Dogecoin is fluctuating between $0.1300 and $0.1350, and breaking above $0.1800 would signal a recovery. The overall trend shows Dogecoin in a consolidation phase, meaning it's neither clearly going up nor down, and its future direction depends on maintaining support levels and broader market conditions. A drop below $0.14 could lead to a fall towards $0.07, whereas holding above $0.15 could lead to a rise towards $0.20. Currently, Dogecoin was trading at around 0.14, down 6.48% in the last 24 hours.

Ethereum's price might go up to the $2,800-$3,000 range if certain conditions are met after experiencing a drop to around $2,625. Recently, U.S. Ethereum ETFs saw a positive shift with inflows of $55.7 million after nine days of outflows, primarily driven by Fidelity's FBETH ETF, although BlackRock's ETHA ETF saw outflows. Technically, Ethereum is trying to break through the $2,800 resistance level. If it succeeds with strong trading activity, it could aim for $2,880 and then $3,000, with a further target of $3,220. Key support levels are around $2,620 and $2,480. Coinbase is now allowing users to borrow USDC using ETH as collateral. For Ethereum to reach $3,200, it needs to break past $2,800, see increased trading volume, have consistent ETF inflows, and stable overall market conditions. If it fails to pass $2,800, it could drop to $2,620 or even $2,480, potentially going as low as $2,350.

Crypto investment funds are experiencing record outflows, suggesting a potential bear market. In the past week, these funds saw a $2 billion outflow, the largest since February. Cumulative withdrawals since the start of November have reached $3.2 billion, with Bitcoin and Ethereum experiencing significant net outflows. The asset under management for these funds has also declined by 27% from its October peak. Market analysis indicates that investors are systematically deleveraging from the crypto market, selling off assets and moving to more stable investments. A key indicator, the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR), is near yearly lows, reflecting weak market buying power. The total crypto market cap has seen a slight decline in the past 24 hours, while daily trading volume has increased. A reversal of this bearish trend requires a resurgence in stablecoin inflows, normalization of the Coinbase premium fall, and increased ETF netflows.

A recent survey by Zerohash indicates that younger, wealthy Americans are increasingly dissatisfied with financial advisors who don't incorporate cryptocurrency into their investment strategies. Approximately 61% of affluent individuals aged 18-40 already hold crypto assets, with many allocating between 5-20% of their portfolios to digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. A significant portion, 76%, manage their crypto investments independently due to their advisors' reluctance or inability to handle them. This has led to 35% of affluent investors moving assets away from advisors who don't offer crypto services, with that number rising to 51% among top earners. The study highlights that 64% of respondents would stay with their current advisor or bring more assets if crypto access was provided, and 63% would feel more comfortable investing through an advisor if digital assets were integrated into their portfolio dashboard. As a massive wealth transfer from older to younger generations is expected over the next two decades, advisors who fail to adapt to the demand for crypto investment options risk losing clients and assets.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $83,800, consolidating after a recent dip below $81,000. Analysts are watching key resistance levels between $85,000 and $86,000, suggesting that breaking through this range could lead to a significant price increase. Failure to overcome this resistance might result in a drop below $80,000. Technical analysis indicates that Bitcoin might be completing a Wave 4 correction, potentially setting the stage for a Wave 5 rally towards $110,000 or even higher. However, if Bitcoin fails to break through the resistance, it could retest lower support levels. Experts advise monitoring volume, momentum indicators, and on-chain data to better understand Bitcoin's next move during this uncertain phase.

XRP is currently trading around $1.95, showing some recovery from recent dips. The price is being closely watched in relation to its monthly 20EMA, a key technical level that could determine future price direction. A significant amount of XRP, about 1.8 billion, was previously purchased around $1.75, creating a strong support level that could prevent further price declines. However, network activity has decreased substantially, indicating less participation from users. Despite this, XRP spot ETFs have seen inflows and institutional investors, such as Canary Capitals and Bitwise, are showing continued interest, potentially offsetting the decline in retail activity. A TD Sequential buy signal has appeared on XRP's daily chart, suggesting a potential shift in momentum, but this is not a guarantee. If XRP maintains its position above the monthly 20EMA, it could potentially rise towards $2.20-$2.30. Conversely, falling below $1.75 could lead to further price drops. Overall, XRP's near-term performance depends on holding key support levels and the overall market environment.

Ethereum ETFs experienced significant outflows recently, with over $500 million exiting the funds in the past 5 days. However, on Friday, these ETFs saw inflows of $55.7 million, ending an 8-day streak of outflows. Ethereum's price dipped into oversold territory, potentially attracting buyers, and its total value staked has fallen to levels not seen since July. Despite the price drop and sell pressure, Ethereum reserves on exchanges have decreased, suggesting that some investors are accumulating the cryptocurrency. The market is also awaiting news on potential interest rate cuts from the Federal Reserve, which could inject liquidity into the market and provide relief for Ethereum.

Ethereum is currently testing a price range between $2,600 and $2,800, which is considered a critical level. If Ethereum can break through and hold above $2,800, analysts believe it could move towards $3,000. However, there's resistance at $2,800, and failure to overcome it could lead to a drop below $2,500 to test lower support levels. One analyst previously predicted a downside move that played out as expected, and now anticipates a potential reversal upwards if certain confirmation signals appear. Breaking below the established range would indicate a more significant decline, according to the analyst. Ethereum briefly dipped near $2,600 before buyers stepped in, and the focus remains on whether it can reclaim the $2,800 mark.

XRP's price decreased alongside the broader cryptocurrency market, influenced by Bitcoin's underperformance. This decline pushed many altcoins, including XRP, into oversold territory, indicating they may be trading at a lower value than their perceived worth.

Liquity (LQTY), a decentralized borrowing protocol, is currently trading around $0.4269. Technical analysis indicates a bearish sentiment with the price having decreased by 6.46% in the last 24 hours. Resistance is seen near $0.47 and support around $0.41. Predictions estimate that LQTY could reach $0.87 by 2025, potentially rising to around $2.94 by 2028 and possibly hitting $9.56 by 2031. Liquity enables users to take zero-interest loans secured by Ether, minting the LUSD stablecoin. The protocol is innovating with projects like BOLD, incentivizing cross-chain liquidity. Despite market volatility, Liquity is also planning Liquity V2 for long-term growth. Recent news includes Upshift and Clearstar Labs launching a dual-asset vault for BOLD/USDC deposits, offering around 10% APR and access to Liquity-fork airdrops. According to technical indicators, the price is expected to remain under bearish pressure, contingent on holding below the $0.45 resistance level.

Due to increasing pressures on Data Availability Technologies (DATs), institutional investors might shift their focus towards Bitcoin-based Finance (BTCFi) solutions. This potential shift indicates a strategic move by institutions exploring alternative investment opportunities within the cryptocurrency space as DATs face challenges.

Coinbase will now offer 24/7 trading for certain cryptocurrencies. This means customers can buy and sell supported cryptocurrencies at any time of day or night. The initial cryptocurrencies included in this 24/7 trading are Shiba Inu (SHIB), Bitcoin Cash, and Dogecoin, along with others not specified in the article. This change allows for continuous trading accessibility instead of being limited to regular business hours. The expansion aims to accommodate the around-the-clock nature of the cryptocurrency market.

A hobbyist Bitcoin miner, operating with just one old ASIC mining machine, successfully mined a Bitcoin block and earned a reward of $265,000. The odds of achieving this with such limited resources were estimated at 1 in 180 million. This unexpected win highlights that while Bitcoin mining is dominated by large operations, individual miners still have a small chance of success.

A significant amount of investment is flowing into Artificial Intelligence (AI) companies, potentially drawing funds away from the cryptocurrency market. Oracle's stock value decreased by over $300 billion after announcing a $300 billion AI cloud deal with OpenAI, raising concerns about AI promises outpacing actual financial returns. Meanwhile, AI coding tool company Cursor raised $2.3 billion at a $29.3 billion valuation, signaling strong investor confidence in AI. Global AI startup funding reached approximately $100 billion in 2024, dwarfing the investment seen in crypto. The trend of Bitcoin mining firms converting their infrastructure to AI data centers is growing, driven by the higher profitability of AI operations. Bitfarms, for example, plans to shift entirely to AI by 2027, while Iris Energy and Hut 8 are also reallocating resources to AI. Security risks are also emerging, as AI is being used in both offensive and defensive cyberattacks, potentially targeting crypto exchanges and custodians. The shift in investment and infrastructure suggests that AI is becoming a dominant force in the computing sector, influencing how risk and capital are allocated across different industries.

BitMine, an Ethereum treasury firm, announced it will pay an annual dividend of $0.01 per share (BMNR) to its shareholders on December 29, 2025, making it the first large-cap crypto company to declare annual dividends. This decision comes after reporting a net income of $328 million, or $13.39 earnings per share. Despite this positive news, BitMine's stock (BMNR) is currently valued at around $26, reflecting a 25% decline in the past week and a significant drop from its 2025 high of $135. The company also plans to launch its Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN) for ETH staking in early 2026, having selected initial pilot partners to test staking capabilities. BitMine continues to acquire Ethereum, purchasing 21,054 ETH recently, despite unrealized losses nearing $4 billion on its total holdings of 3.55 million ETH, acquired at an average cost of $3,120.

Grayscale's Dogecoin Trust ETF (GDOG) and XRP Trust ETF (GXRP) are set to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on November 24. These spot ETFs will hold the underlying Dogecoin and XRP tokens. The launch represents a significant liquidity event as Grayscale converts its existing private trusts into publicly traded ETFs. GXRP enters a market with existing XRP ETFs that have already attracted around $422 million in inflows in their first two weeks, indicating strong early interest. GDOG will be among the first Dogecoin ETFs available to US investors. Bloomberg Intelligence anticipates GDOG could see around $11 million in trading volume on its first day. The launch of these ETFs signals an expansion of crypto investment options beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum and reflects a shift toward a more disclosure-focused regulatory approach by the SEC under Chairman Paul Atkins.

The Hyperliquid team's decision to unstake 2.6 million HYPE tokens has sparked debate within the project's community. The unstaking, which represents a little over 1% of the team's total allocation, led to questions about whether the tokens were from unlocked staking rewards or part of a scheduled vesting event. Community members are asking for more clarity on the lock periods for staking yields and future releases of HYPE. Some users have noted that if the 2.6 million HYPE was a standard vesting release, the slow pace would imply a very long vesting schedule. Discussions are centered on how team rewards become unlocked and whether there have been any changes to the project's policies regarding long-term staking. The community is calling for updated communication from Hyperliquid to clarify the situation.

The crypto market experienced a downturn starting around October 10th. Initially, some attributed this to a technical glitch on a crypto exchange that caused automated liquidations. However, a new theory suggests the drop might be linked to a decision by MSCI, a major index provider, to reconsider how it classifies companies heavily invested in digital assets, such as MicroStrategy. MSCI is evaluating whether to treat these companies as operating businesses or investment funds. If MSCI decides to treat them as funds and remove them from their indices on January 15th, it could trigger automatic selling of Bitcoin worth billions of dollars by passive funds that track the indices, potentially causing a significant market crash. MicroStrategy currently holds a substantial amount of Bitcoin, and its inclusion in MSCI indices is important for attracting investment. The final decision could either lead to a further downturn or a market recovery.

The price of WLFI has increased by 17%. The article discusses the potential reasons behind this significant price increase.

Eric Trump stated that the current period of decline in cryptocurrency values presents a favorable opportunity to purchase Bitcoin. The statement implies a belief that Bitcoin's price will eventually recover, making it a potentially profitable investment at its currently reduced value.

Core Foundation and Maple Finance are in a legal dispute. Core Foundation alleges that Maple misused confidential information related to the development of lstBTC, a liquid-staked Bitcoin token. According to Core Foundation, they partnered with Maple in early 2025 to develop lstBTC, investing significant resources. They claim Maple then used confidential information to develop a competing product, syrupBTC, violating an exclusivity agreement. The Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted an injunction against Maple, prohibiting them from launching or promoting syrupBTC and dealing in CORE tokens without consent, pending arbitration. The court found a serious issue to be tried regarding Maple's alleged actions. Core Foundation also claims Maple brought over $150 million in Bitcoin to the yield product, expected to be held securely, and now Maple may declare an impairment affecting Bitcoin lenders. Maple Finance denies any wrongdoing, stating that Core Foundation's actions are against lender interests and that they will aggressively pursue remedies to hold Core Foundation responsible. Maple Finance emphasizes that this dispute has no impact on its broader business operations.

A former Los Angeles police officer and another man, who prosecutors say is connected to Israeli organized crime, have been denied bail in a case involving the alleged kidnapping and robbery of a 17-year-old crypto trader. The pair are accused of posing as police officers to gain entry to the teenager's apartment, where they restrained him and his girlfriend, and demanded access to his crypto wallet. The suspects allegedly threatened violence, including waterboarding, to force the teenager to reveal his crypto assets. They successfully stole $350,000 worth of cryptocurrency from a hardware wallet found in a safe. Surveillance footage shows the group was in the apartment for less than 30 minutes and ignored cash and valuables, focusing solely on the crypto. Both men have pleaded not guilty, but the judge deemed them too great a risk to be released, citing the alleged police impersonation.

Charles Hoskinson, the creator of Cardano, praised the network's design after it successfully withstood a 'poisoned transaction attack.' This type of attack involves sending malicious transactions designed to negatively impact users. The article highlights that Cardano's architecture proved resilient in the face of this challenge, suggesting a level of security and robustness in its design.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' reportedly sold millions of dollars worth of his Bitcoin holdings when the price reached $90,000. This action implies Kiyosaki secured a significant profit from his Bitcoin investment at that peak price point.

Ripple's XRP is currently experiencing weakness against both the US Dollar (USDT) and Bitcoin (BTC). The XRP/USDT pair has broken below the $2 support level, which is now acting as resistance, and may fall towards $1.75, with a further potential drop to $1.50 if selling continues. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a possible short-term bounce, but the structure remains bearish unless the $2 level is reclaimed. Against Bitcoin, XRP is struggling to stay above 2,200 SAT and hasn't been able to break past the 2,400 SAT resistance zone. If XRP breaks below the 2,000 SAT support, it could decline to 1,700 SAT or even 1,500 SAT. The RSI for the XRP/BTC pair is neutral, indicating a lack of momentum in either direction.

Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange platform, has announced it will list perpetual futures contracts for Dogecoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). This means users will be able to trade contracts that mimic the price movements of these cryptocurrencies without an expiration date. This listing may lead to wider adoption of these crypto assets as it provides more trading options and potentially increases their accessibility to a broader range of investors.

Ethereum's price is in a downtrend, currently trading around $2.7K-$2.85K. It has broken below key moving averages, indicating bearish momentum. The price is approaching a critical decision point. A drop below $2.7K could lead to further decline towards $2.45K-$2.55K. Conversely, a recovery would require reclaiming $3K and moving above the 100-day moving average. Onchain analysis shows significant liquidation clusters above the current price, particularly between $3.1K and $3.6K, suggesting potential for volatile price swings. There's also unfilled liquidity above $3.2K, which could attract price during a correction. A temporary price drop could occur before a possible recovery.

Several key players in the cryptocurrency market have made Bitcoin price predictions for the year 2026. The article focuses on outlining these potential outcomes as forecast by these individuals.

Bitcoin's price drop to around $84,000 is attracting interest from large institutional investors like Harvard Endowment and Abu Dhabi funds, who are buying while smaller retail traders are selling. This is happening after a period of market volatility and liquidations, partly caused by the unwinding of a specific trading strategy and broader global financial pressures. Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes the recent sell-off is more of a temporary shakeout than a sign of deeper problems, driven by a contraction in global liquidity and risk-off sentiment, and he considers current prices a potential buying opportunity for long-term investors. He downplayed concerns about a software glitch as a minor issue compared to the overall market forces at play.

Bitcoin is currently trading near $84,000, after a recent drop from around $110,000 earlier in November. It's struggling to break through a resistance level of $88,000. If it fails to surpass this level, it could potentially fall towards $75,000. Technical indicators show that Bitcoin is currently oversold, which sometimes suggests a possible rebound, but this isn't guaranteed. The price is also forming a symmetrical triangle pattern, which indicates market uncertainty and makes it difficult to predict the next price move. Traders are advised to be cautious until there is a clear breakout from this pattern. Market sentiment appears bearish, and large institutional trades are influencing price movements. Traders should watch key levels and ETF activity to understand where the market might be heading.

Solana ETFs have experienced significant positive inflows over a 10-day period, indicating growing investor interest and capital allocation towards these investment vehicles focused on the Solana cryptocurrency.

A solo Bitcoin miner, working independently rather than as part of a large mining pool, successfully solved a block and earned a reward of approximately $266,000 in Bitcoin. This is a rare event, as solo miners have a very low probability of solving a block due to the vast computational power required. The miner's success highlights the element of chance still present in Bitcoin mining.

Grayscale is set to launch Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) for XRP and Dogecoin on Monday, pending final approvals from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This means that investors will soon be able to buy and sell shares that represent holdings of these cryptocurrencies, similar to how they trade stocks. These new ETFs could make it easier for more people to invest in XRP and Dogecoin without directly owning the cryptocurrencies themselves, offering a regulated and accessible investment option.

Coinbase has initiated a planned security upgrade involving the movement of Bitcoin and Ethereum between its internal wallets. This is a routine process to enhance security and reduce the exposure of stored funds, unrelated to recent market volatility. Customer trading, deposits, and withdrawals will continue without any interruptions during this migration. Users may observe large on-chain transfers, but these originate from Coinbase-controlled wallets. Coinbase warns users to be vigilant against scams exploiting the visible transactions. The exchange emphasizes that it will never request sensitive information like passwords or seed phrases and will not advise customers to move their funds.

Crypto CEO Jacob King is challenging the popular idea that Bitcoin is 'digital gold' or a hedge against inflation. King points to Bitcoin's original whitepaper, which describes it as a system for online payments without banks. He argues that Bitcoin's high fees and limited use in everyday transactions led people to create the 'digital gold' narrative to keep interest alive. This perspective comes as Bitcoin's price has fallen sharply from its 2025 high, causing concern in the crypto market. King's view contrasts with prominent figures like Michael Saylor and Larry Fink, who see Bitcoin as a digital alternative to gold and a safe haven during economic uncertainty. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $84,130.

MicroStrategy, a company known for holding a large amount of Bitcoin, faces challenges as its stock price nears the value of its Bitcoin holdings, eliminating its ability to raise capital through stock issuance to buy more Bitcoin. This change disrupts its previous strategy of increasing Bitcoin per share for investors. The company also faces potential reclassification by MSCI, a major index provider, which could lead to large sell-offs of its stock by passive investment funds if it's categorized as a Digital Asset Treasury company. MicroStrategy is arguing against this reclassification, highlighting its active financial operations, including issuing digital credit securities, and the market is evaluating if it will be seen as an actively managed structured finance entity or simply a Bitcoin investment vehicle. The outcome of MSCI's review and the persistence of the stock price parity with its Bitcoin holdings will determine MicroStrategy's future valuation and strategy.

Fundstrat's Tom Lee suggests that 'strategy stocks' might act as a hedge against potential losses in cryptocurrency investments. The article highlights Lee's perspective on how certain stocks could perform when the cryptocurrency market experiences downturns. The core idea is that these specific stocks may offer a degree of protection or offset losses incurred from crypto holdings, though the article does not specify which stocks qualify as 'strategy stocks' or provide quantitative data on their hedging effectiveness.

Zcash (ZEC) is currently trading around $490, having dropped over 24% in the last 24 hours. Despite a nearly 100% increase in the past month and a 928% increase over the last year, one analyst predicts a potential 50% price drop to around $281 due to its inability to break through the $750 resistance level and breaking below an ascending channel. Another analyst suggests a correction to approximately $325. However, bullish factors include institutional investment, such as Cypherpunk Technologies' $50 million Zcash treasury strategy, and an upcoming halving event in November, which could increase demand. Zcash's market cap is $7.8 billion, ranking it as the 13th largest cryptocurrency.

The supply of Solana (SOL) tokens may decrease at a rate twice as fast as previously expected due to a newly implemented disinflation proposal. This means that the rate at which new SOL tokens are created and added to the total supply could be significantly reduced. The market implication is that a faster reduction in supply could potentially increase the value of existing SOL tokens, as there will be fewer new tokens entering circulation.

Binance traders are showing increased interest in altcoins, with these alternative cryptocurrencies making up 60% of the exchange's trading volume this week. This shift has sparked debate among market observers about whether a new market cycle is forming. Some analysts point to historical patterns where altcoins surged after market shakeouts, suggesting a potential for significant gains in low-cap tokens. However, others are skeptical, noting that many altcoins are still far below their previous highs and that earlier predictions of a major rally have not materialized. Despite the disagreement, some traders anticipate a possible price move in December, driven by seasonal market patterns.

A significant portion of capital within decentralized finance (DeFi) is currently not being utilized effectively. The article highlights that $12 billion in DeFi liquidity is sitting idle, indicating a 'liquidity crisis.' This means that approximately 95% of the available capital in these systems is going unused, suggesting inefficiencies in how DeFi platforms are operating and potentially limiting the growth and effectiveness of these financial applications.

Pi Coin's price increase is showing signs of slowing down after facing a 5% decrease in the last 24 hours. The coin's recent rally is meeting resistance as the amount of money flowing into it seems to be decreasing. A key indicator, the Chaikin Money Flow, is declining, suggesting less buying activity. While overall market sentiment is somewhat negative, Pi Coin is holding its value relatively well, partly because it's not moving in the same direction as Bitcoin. Currently, Pi Coin is trading around $0.241, just below a resistance level of $0.246. If buying activity doesn't increase, the price could fall to around $0.234 or stay between $0.234 and $0.246. However, if more money starts flowing into Pi Coin, it could break through the $0.246 resistance and potentially reach $0.250 or even $0.260.

Coinbase's 'negative premium' has reached its widest point since the first quarter of the year. This indicates weakened demand for cryptocurrencies, specifically in the United States market, as Coinbase is a major U.S.-based exchange. The 'negative premium' refers to the price difference of Bitcoin on Coinbase compared to other exchanges; a negative premium suggests that Bitcoin is trading at a lower price on Coinbase relative to other platforms.

The UK's National Crime Agency (NCA) has revealed that a major crime network, dealing in billions of pounds, has been using cryptocurrency to move drug money to Russia. The network's activities involved funneling illicit funds, generated from drug trafficking, through crypto channels to recipients in Russia. The NCA's investigation highlighted the use of digital assets to facilitate international money laundering on a significant scale, linking criminal operations in the UK to financial networks in Russia.

Khurram Dara, a former lawyer for the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, has announced his candidacy for New York State Attorney General. Dara is running as a Republican and aims to change the current AG's approach to businesses and innovation, specifically in the crypto and fintech industries. He accuses the current Attorney General, Letitia James, of political bias and unfairly targeting companies. Dara plans to prioritize public safety, make New York more business-friendly, and address the cost of living by curbing the use of certain legal tactics. Attorney General James has been known for strict regulations on crypto, filing lawsuits and reaching settlements with several crypto firms since 2019. While New York's Mayor-elect has agreed with some consumer protection measures for crypto investors, the city's overall influence on state and federal crypto policy is limited. The total cryptocurrency market capitalization is currently around $2.87 trillion, having decreased by nearly 10% in the past week.

Aerodrome Finance, a cryptocurrency platform, experienced a security incident described as a 'front-end' attack. As a precaution, users are being advised to refrain from using the main Aerodrome domain. The nature of the front-end attack suggests a compromise of the user interface rather than the underlying smart contracts, potentially leading to phishing or malicious code injection. Users should seek official communications from Aerodrome Finance for further instructions and updates.

Ethereum (ETH) has fallen below $2,700 after dropping significantly from its previous high, representing a correction of over 45%. This decline has placed the price within key technical areas where analysts anticipate potential support and a market rebound. Some traders now predict a longer market cycle with higher upside targets. The current daily volume is $50.3 billion, with Ethereum down 10% in the last 24 hours and nearly 15% over the past week. The price drop has brought ETH back into a zone where it previously traded sideways, which could act as a support level. Ethereum has also filled a CME gap between $2,850 and $3,000, a technical event often preceding a trend shift. However, failure to reclaim the $2,800 level could lead to a further drop towards $2,500.

Bitcoin's price has been volatile, recently dropping below $85,000 after struggling to stay above $90,000. A market expert, Adam from Greeks.live, predicts a consolidation phase for Bitcoin through November, with potential price targets ranging from $80,000 to $105,000 by the end of 2025. Bitcoin whale activity, measured by large transactions, has increased, potentially signaling a price rebound. However, one analyst notes that Bitcoin has fallen below its 50-week simple moving average, a pattern that has historically led to significant price drops, suggesting investors should be cautious. Trading volume has also dropped by over 40 percent.

Digitap ($TAP) is a new crypto banking app designed to combine crypto and traditional finance for everyday users. It offers a platform to manage both crypto and fiat currencies, including buying, holding, swapping, and spending, through a single app with a Visa debit card. The $TAP token powers the system, providing benefits like cashback and lower fees. The Digitap presale has seen a 160% increase from its initial price, now at $0.0326, with over 130 million tokens sold and $2.1 million raised. The app supports over 100 cryptocurrencies and major fiat currencies, aiming to simplify global payments and provide access to banking services, especially for the unbanked, in over 100 countries. The company has processed more than five million transactions across 100,000 wallets.

A crypto analyst known as 24HRSCRYPTO has predicted that XRP could potentially reach $1,000, arguing that it's based on the cryptocurrency's utility in global payments and its role in financial infrastructure, not just market hype. He believes XRP's value will be driven by real-world financial activity and that holding XRP until 2030 could yield significant growth. Currently, XRP is trading above $1.9. Another analyst, Rose Premium Signals, points to a technical analysis indicating XRP has formed a triple bottom pattern, a sign of potential price reversal and a possible surge above $3 in the near future, based on repeated bounces from a strong support level.

A crypto wealth manager has reportedly turned an initial investment of $11,000 into approximately half a billion dollars through trading memecoins. This significant return highlights the potential for substantial gains, but also implicitly carries substantial risk, within the volatile memecoin market. The information comes directly from the crypto wealth manager, detailing their trading activity within the memecoin space.

The White House is developing an alternative strategy regarding tariffs, while the cryptocurrency market is anticipating a decision from the Supreme Court. The article suggests potential market movement based on these two separate events: changes to tariffs and the outcome of the Supreme Court case.

LivLive has launched a crypto presale that is being heavily promoted with a 300% bonus offer using the code BLACK300. The project aims to tokenize real-world activity through a wearable device that authenticates physical presence and movement, rewarding users in a gamified AR environment. The presale has already raised over $2.1 million at its initial price stage of $0.02 per token. With the bonus, a $1,000 investment could yield 200,000 tokens instead of the usual 50,000 tokens. If the token reaches its launch price of $0.25, that amount of tokens could potentially be worth $50,000. The project positions itself as a high-potential alternative to established cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana, because they do not offer the same early-stage bonus opportunities. The project focuses on wearable integration and geo-verified engagement and is considered by some as one of the best crypto presales to buy in Q4 2025.

The likelihood of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates by 0.25% in December has significantly increased to 71%, according to the CME FedWatch Tool. This shift follows statements from New York Fed President John Williams suggesting a possible rate cut without endangering inflation goals. However, other Fed officials, including Boston Fed President Susan Collins and Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan, advocate for holding interest rates steady to assess the impact of current monetary policy. The current target range for interest rates is 3.75% to 4.00%. The crypto market anticipates that a rate cut could boost Bitcoin and other digital assets, although some analysts advise caution due to mixed economic signals, such as strong job growth but also a higher unemployment rate. Coinbase Institutional suggests that current market expectations of no rate cut are mispriced, pointing to tariff research and real-time inflation data that could justify larger rate cuts by the Fed.

Solana is considering a significant change to its economic model by reducing the amount of new SOL tokens created. This plan, called SIMD-0411, aims to cut roughly 22.3 million SOL tokens (worth about $2.9 billion) from the planned supply over the next six years. The change would involve doubling the rate at which Solana reduces its inflation, aiming to reach its target inflation of 1.5% by 2029 instead of 2032. This is designed to make SOL more scarce, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum, which could potentially increase its value. However, it might also make it harder for some validators to make a profit, potentially causing some to leave the network.

The United States, South Korea, and Brazil are considering stricter tax regulations for cryptocurrency transactions. The U.S. Treasury Department proposed new rules to cooperate with the Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF), an international crypto tax agreement formed in 2022. CARF already includes countries like the UAE, Japan, Canada, and Germany.

Dogecoin's price is anticipated to potentially rise to $0.2. This expectation is linked to the upcoming debut of a Grayscale Dogecoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) scheduled for November 24. The launch of this ETF appears to be creating positive sentiment around Dogecoin.

Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings decreased by $47 billion during a recent market downturn, bringing the total value of the wallet to around $90.7 billion. This decline occurred alongside a broader market correction where Bitcoin's price fell to approximately $80,500. The overall cryptocurrency market lost about half a trillion dollars in value during this period. Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), which had brought in new retail and institutional investors, experienced outflows. Some institutional investors are withdrawing funds and questioning the value of companies holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. The market experienced a flash crash leading to significant liquidations of leveraged positions. Liquidity remains weak, and Bitcoin is behaving more like a risk asset. Market sentiment is extremely fearful, with a lack of natural buyers during the correction.
