The Canary Capitals XRPC ETF, the first U.S. exchange-traded fund directly linked to XRP, launched with a record-breaking $58 million in trading volume on its first day. This is the highest day-one volume for any ETF launched this year, surpassing Bitwise's Solana ETF which had $57 million. This strong debut indicates significant investor interest in accessing XRP through a regulated investment product. The high trading volume suggests growing institutional demand for cryptocurrency investments beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, specifically in assets like XRP that have real-world payment utility. The continued trading activity will determine if this signals a long-term increase in institutional investment in the crypto sector.

The SEC has released new guidance that may expedite the approval process for pending crypto ETFs, potentially benefiting Bitwise's XRP ETF. This comes as the global crypto market experiences a downturn, with a significant decrease in market capitalization and a surge in trading volume. The SEC's backlog of over 900 registration statements filed during the government shutdown will be processed in the order received, potentially allowing some ETFs to launch faster. Canary Capitals' XRPC, the first pure-play XRP spot ETF on Nasdaq, had a strong debut with $59 million in first-day trading volume and $245 million in first-day inflows. XRP's price decreased by over 6% in the last 24 hours but remains up by around 5% in the last 7 days, with a 24-hour trading volume of $8.29 billion.

BlackRock's $2.5 billion tokenized fund has been listed as collateral on Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange. This means users can now use the fund's tokens as security to borrow other cryptocurrencies on Binance. Furthermore, the fund is expanding its reach by becoming available on the BNB Chain, a blockchain network. This expansion allows more users to access and utilize the tokenized fund within the BNB Chain ecosystem.

Canary is likely pausing its plans to file for Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) related to XRP. This decision is influenced by the anticipation of potential changes in the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) approach to crypto assets and related investment products. The company is waiting to see how the regulatory landscape evolves before proceeding further with its ETF filings involving XRP.

The United States and Switzerland have reached a tariff agreement, reducing Swiss import duties from 39% to 15%. This agreement comes after months of negotiation and a threat from the U.S. to impose heavy levies. As part of the deal, Swiss manufacturers, including those in pharmaceuticals, gold smelting, and railway equipment, will move production to the U.S. This shift aims to reduce the trade imbalance between the two countries. Roche, a Swiss pharmaceutical company, has already committed to investing $50 billion in U.S. operations. The previous 39% tariff had negatively impacted Swiss exports, including watches, pharmaceuticals, and precious metals, leading to a downgrade in Switzerland's economic growth forecast. Following the news of the agreement, the Swiss franc increased 0.4% against the U.S. dollar.

The Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) ecosystem is launching an Initial Coin Auction (ICA) with a unique 24-hour distribution model. Every day, 200 million ZKP tokens will be distributed proportionally to contributors based on their share of the total contributions in ETH, USDT, USDC, or BNB for that day. This system aims for fairness by resetting the price daily and preventing advantages for large investors, offering a market-driven valuation. Participants can strategically time their contributions, observing early volume and contributing before the final four hours to optimize their returns. Consistent, smaller contributions over multiple days can outperform single large investments due to price volatility. Live metrics on the smart contract provide transparency. Whitelisted participants gain early access to interfaces and analytics. The goal is to provide an equitable and verifiable system for token distribution.

Federal Reserve official Jeff Schmid has indicated concerns about persistent inflation, which is dampening expectations for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates as early as December. This suggests that the cost of borrowing money may remain high for longer than previously anticipated, potentially affecting investment decisions and economic growth.

BlackRock's USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUILD), a tokenized real-world asset (RWA), is now live on the BNB Chain. This allows investors access to tokenized US dollar yields on the Binance ecosystem. The value of real-world assets on blockchains has increased by 6% in the last month, exceeding $36 billion. Binance will accept BUILD as collateral, which enables traders to use cash without losing access to Treasury-linked RWAs. Securitize, a tokenization firm, is supporting BlackRock's expansion into the BNB Chain. The number of RWA holders has risen by 10.78% to 537,549. Stablecoins also increased by 0.79% to $299.76 billion with holders increasing by 3.39% to 202.89 million.

Alderney, a small island near France, is trying to attract Bitcoin businesses. The government is looking for a partner to help turn the island into a Bitcoin-friendly location with a focus on renewable energy. They are highlighting the island's lack of corporation tax, capital gains tax, VAT, inheritance tax and a low 20% personal income tax, along with no financial requirements for residency. Alderney is promoting its potential for Bitcoin mining using tidal energy and repurposing old coastal forts for Bitcoin-related activities. They aim to create a Bitcoin research campus, business park and a neo bank, as well as educate the public about Bitcoin. The island is working with Guernsey regulators to create a supportive regulatory environment, focusing exclusively on Bitcoin and excluding other digital assets.

Solana is undergoing significant upgrades through 2026 with Firedancer and Alpenglow, aiming for faster speeds and more transactions. These upgrades address past network issues like outages and aim to make Solana a key infrastructure for decentralized finance and attract traditional finance. The goal is to shift the focus from speculation to real-world applications. Firedancer, a new validator client, seeks to handle up to 1 million transactions per second, while Alpenglow redesigns the consensus mechanism for faster block finalization. Block space will be doubled and compute units increased to handle more transactions. These improvements aim to reduce transaction costs and friction, attracting more developers and users. Solana is also expanding its mobile capabilities and offering tools for cheaper token creation. The network currently has around 900 active validators. The upgrades are expected to improve throughput, finality, trust, and resilience. Solana aims to compete with other blockchains for on-chain developers and institutional integration. Adoption metrics to watch include total value locked, dApp revenues, and institutional partnerships. Solana is reducing its inflation rate and validators may start earning more revenue from dApp revenues. The network's value will depend on its ability to attract developers and capture economic activity.

Starknet, Zcash, and Dash experienced significant price increases due to specific factors driving interest in each cryptocurrency. Starknet rose approximately 25% to around $0.178, driven by increased activity on its layer-2 network and growing user engagement. Zcash increased about 18% to roughly $573, boosted by renewed interest in privacy-focused cryptocurrencies and improved liquidity. Dash saw a 9% increase to nearly $73, supported by its use in payment systems and consistent order book depth. These cryptocurrencies are demonstrating that projects with clear use cases and strong liquidity are attracting investment even when overall market sentiment is cautious. The sustainability of these gains depends on maintaining balanced trading activity and liquidity, as opposed to purely speculative interest.

CleanCore Solutions, a company trading under the ticker ZONE, saw its stock price plummet nearly 78% in the last month, reaching a record low of $0.3818. This decline is attributed to the company's strategy of investing heavily in Dogecoin as a treasury asset. CleanCore reported a significant net loss of $13.4 million for the fiscal first quarter, compared to a $0.9 million loss in the same period last year, despite revenue doubling to $0.9 million. The company has accumulated over 733 million Dogecoins, valued at around $117.5 million as of November 12, and aims to acquire 5% of the total Dogecoin supply. However, Dogecoin's price has fallen over 21% in the past month, impacting CleanCore's holdings, with their initial purchases made at a higher average price than current levels. Despite broader corporate interest in Dogecoin, CleanCore's stock performance has suffered.

The Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) is challenging Sony Bank's application for a national trust charter to issue stablecoins through its proposed Connectia Trust. The ICBA argues that this move could exploit regulatory gaps, posing risks to consumers. Connectia Trust plans to offer digital asset custody, manage reserve assets, and issue dollar-pegged stablecoins but will not have FDIC insurance, similar to applications from Coinbase, Crypto.com and others. The ICBA claims Connectia shares features with bank deposits without being subject to the same regulations like the Community Reinvestment Act. They are concerned about potential consumer confusion and harm if Connectia becomes insolvent, and also question Sony's ownership stake in Connectia's parent company, raising concerns about compliance with bank holding company regulations. The ICBA also objects to Coinbase's similar application for a trust charter, citing systemic and legal concerns. The ICBA suggests the OCC lacks the expertise to handle potential collapses in the complex cryptocurrency market, especially as the stablecoin market has grown past $311 billion.

Binance now accepts BlackRock's BUIDL fund, a tokenized real-world asset, as collateral for institutional trading on its platform. This allows institutions to use BUIDL, which represents tokenized Treasuries, as off-exchange collateral, meaning they can trade on Binance while keeping their assets with regulated custodians. BUIDL gives qualified investors USD-denominated yields and transferability. A new BUIDL share class has launched on the BNB Chain to improve accessibility and create new investment opportunities. Binance is also offering a promotion on Binance Earn for Tezos (XTZ) locked products, with users able to earn up to 29% APR by locking their XTZ tokens.

Pi Coin's price has decreased by over 3% to $0.216 and is struggling to break out of its current range. Experts indicate that the price is consolidating, and a move above $0.30 could signal a bullish trend, while a drop below $0.21 could lead to further decline. Despite the price stagnation, Stellar has recognized the potential of Pi Network's 60 million users and suggested they could integrate into the Stellar ecosystem, gaining access to DeFi and real-world asset applications. This potential integration aims to transition passive Pi miners into active participants within the Stellar network.

Eric Trump, the Chief Strategy Officer at American Bitcoin, anticipates a major shift in investments from gold to Bitcoin. He believes that as digital currencies become more widely accepted, Bitcoin will attract a significantly larger share of investment capital that traditionally goes to gold. This prediction suggests a potential change in the balance between these two asset classes, with Bitcoin expected to become increasingly dominant.

Michael Saylor, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, has urged the Bitcoin community to "HODL," meaning to hold onto their Bitcoin, during a significant market downturn. His message was delivered via a tweet featuring an image referencing the Titanic, coinciding with a period of fear and selling pressure in the cryptocurrency market that has seen Bitcoin dip towards $94,000.

BitMine Immersion (BMNR), the largest corporate holder of Ethereum, has appointed Chi Tsang as its new CEO, replacing Jonathan Bates. This change coincides with a downturn in the crypto market, which has negatively impacted Ethereum's price. In addition to the new CEO, BitMine Immersion has added three new independent board members: Robert Sechan, Olivia Howe, and Jason Edgeworth. Despite the leadership changes, BMNR is continuing its strategy of aggressively accumulating Ethereum, currently holding 3.5 million ETH. Their goal is to control 5% of the total Ethereum supply. However, BMNR's stock price has fallen, mirroring the overall market decline, dropping 4.5% to $35.

Bitcoin's price has dropped below $95,000 due to heavy selling from U.S. investors and a decrease in available money in the market. American investors are selling more aggressively than those in other countries, particularly during U.S. market hours. Long-term holders are also selling to secure profits for tax purposes. A temporary reduction in government spending in the U.S. has further tightened the money supply. The market is currently testing the strength of short-term investors, and a further drop could trigger more selling before reaching a stable bottom. Key price levels to watch are around $95,900, with potential support near $82,000 if that level breaks. The price's failure to break above $107,000 suggests the downward trend will continue, though the selling pressure is expected to be temporary.

Strategy moved 38,657 Bitcoin from its known wallets, worth approximately $1.2 billion, sparking rumors that the company was selling off its holdings. These transactions involved sending Bitcoin to Coinbase Custody wallets. The rumors, coinciding with a Bitcoin price dip below $95,000, were amplified by fake screenshots on social media. Strategy's executive chairman, Michael Saylor, denied the sell-off claims, stating that the company is still buying Bitcoin. Meanwhile, Strategy's stock, MSTR, has been under pressure, dipping to $201, and major investors including Capital International Investors, Vanguard, and BlackRock divested over $5.38 billion in MSTR shares in Q3. While Strategy doesn't have immediate obligations requiring Bitcoin liquidation, concerns exist regarding its ability to meet dividend obligations without pressure for cash.

Cardano's ADA has reached a yearly low of $0.50, a level that analysts consider a crucial support point. If the price falls below this point, a significant further drop is possible. Despite the price decline, large investors, known as whales, have purchased over 348 million ADA, worth about $200 million. Cardano's Total Value Locked (TVL) has reached a 3-year high, and ADA was added to the 21Shares Top 10 Crypto ETF. Currently, ADA is trading around $0.5157, near the $0.49-$0.52 support range. The price could either bounce back up towards $0.5685 or $0.60, or decline further towards $0.48-$0.49. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates ADA is approaching oversold conditions. The article also mentions SUBBD, a crypto and AI-driven media platform, which is gaining traction, with its presale nearing $1.34 million.

The Pi coin is experiencing a significant downturn since its launch, with a 48% drop in the last 90 days. Transaction volumes are low, with the top 100 transactions only moving about 9 million PI tokens, worth less than $2.45 million. Technical indicators suggest a continued downtrend, with the price fluctuating between $0.204 and $0.22. A breakout above $0.2368 could lead to $0.26, but failure to hold the current level may result in further declines. The Pi Core team is working on updates, including a guide for creating tokens, but questions remain about the project's revenue model and token supply control. The article contrasts Pi's struggles with PepeNode, a play-to-earn mining game that is attracting users and investment.

The crypto market is seeing activity with attention focused on identifying the next cryptocurrency with potential for significant growth. LivLive ($LIVE) is highlighted for its model connecting real-world activities with digital rewards, offering tokens and experience points for actions like walking or attending events. The project's presale has raised over $2.1 million, with the price set to increase in stages. A limited-time bonus offer is available using codes EARLY100 for a 100% bonus on investments up to $2,000 and BOOST200 for a 200% bonus on investments of $2,000 or more. Litecoin (LTC) is trading at $101.26, with a market capitalization near $7.74 billion and a 24-hour trading volume of $1.088 billion, up 25.78%. Celestia (TIA) is trading at $0.9298, with a market capitalization of $779.15 million and a 24-hour volume of $86.57 million, up 5.58%.

Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Dogecoin are all experiencing price drops due to a combination of factors. Uncertainty about the Federal Reserve's future interest rate decisions is a major contributor, as comments suggesting fewer rate cuts than previously expected have unsettled investors. Bitcoin has fallen below $97,000, marking its lowest point since May 2025, with a weekly decline exceeding 5% and a 6.4% drop in a single day. Large Bitcoin holders are reportedly selling off, and demand for Bitcoin ETFs is decreasing significantly, with substantial net outflows recorded. Ethereum has also suffered, dropping over 10% in the past 24 hours and over 5% for the week, currently trading around $3,200, which is more than 35% below its all-time high. Dogecoin is down as well, currently trading at $0.165, reflecting a 2.3% decline over the week and an additional 8% drop in one day. Overall, the cryptocurrency market is facing downward pressure.

BNB, the cryptocurrency associated with Binance, is showing signs it may decrease in value. Market indicators suggest potential for further price drops. Recently, $8.20 million was lost in the BNB market due to liquidation events that negatively impacted investors who were betting on the price going up.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $95,000, experiencing an 8% drop in a single day and a 24% decrease from its all-time high in October. This decline has contributed to a global crypto market cap reduction to $3.3 trillion, with altcoins like Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana also suffering significant losses. Market analysts attribute the Bitcoin drop primarily to selling pressure from U.S. investors, year-end tax optimization strategies, and tightened market liquidity due to the U.S. government shutdown. Total liquidations in the crypto market reached over $1.3 billion in the last 24 hours, including $676 million in Bitcoin liquidations, with U.S. Bitcoin ETFs seeing substantial outflows. Despite the downturn and investor fears, some analysts suggest that the market may stabilize as liquidity returns and point to a cost basis for recent investors around $94,000 as a potential support level. Michael Saylor has publicly encouraged investors to hold their Bitcoin.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju has indicated a specific Bitcoin price level, that if broken, would signal the start of a Bitcoin bear market. This statement was made on X in response to recent Bitcoin price declines.

A Bitcoin price pattern is suggesting a potential drop to $62,000. This forecast coincides with a decrease in the probability of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, which now stands at 54%. The article indicates a technical analysis-based price target and a shift in expectations regarding monetary policy that could affect Bitcoin's value.

XRP's price has fallen approximately 7% in the last 24 hours, and over 8% in the last 14 and 30 day periods, but the article suggests this dip could be a buying opportunity. Despite the recent downturn, XRP is still viewed favorably due to Ripple's settlement with the SEC. The approval of a U.S.-based XRP ETF may draw institutional investment and further drive XRP adoption. The XRP Ledger technology continues to see adoption for cross-border payments among banks and financial institutions. The article indicates that the current price may be a good entry point for new investors, and a chance for existing holders to lower their cost basis.

ByteStream is a new payment network designed to improve Bitcoin's ability to handle everyday transactions. Bitcoin's current system is slow and costly, making it impractical for small purchases. The Lightning Network, a scaling solution, has issues with routing failures and liquidity management. ByteStream introduces an Anchored Taproot Ledger, a shared off-chain ledger, that enables instant and direct payments without routing issues. Users maintain control of their funds using individual Taproot outputs on the Bitcoin blockchain, providing a way to recover funds without needing permission. The system's solvency can be independently verified using Merkle roots anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain. This new protocol offers channel-free settlements, full user control over funds, and verifiable solvency. ByteStream aims to provide a fast, reliable, and self-custodial payment solution and is attracting attention from major payment providers.

The decentralized platform Hyperliquid experienced a $4.9 million loss due to market manipulation involving the POPCAT token. An attacker used multiple wallets to artificially inflate the price of POPCAT, then removed support, causing a price crash and liquidations. On-chain analysis suggests possible links between this manipulation and previous suspicious trading activities involving other tokens. BTX Capital and its founder, Vanessa Cao, are now under scrutiny, with allegations of involvement due to connections between the attacker's wallets and a wallet reportedly linked to Cao and funded by BTX Capital. Cao has denied any involvement, claiming the wallet in question does not belong to her and refuting any participation in market manipulation. Hyperliquid temporarily halted withdrawals to stabilize its financial situation following the incident.

The cryptocurrency market sees Aster (ASTER) exceeding $1 after experiencing a 15% gain since November 4, supported by strong buying pressure and plans for a new privacy-focused blockchain. XRP is also anticipated to potentially surge, awaiting news of a possible Spot ETF approval in the United States, which could drive significant institutional investment. In contrast, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is launching a presale for its coins and offering Proof Pods, which are income-generating hardware devices that support private AI computation. ZKP has invested over $100 million in its network and $17 million in Proof Pod manufacturing before the presale, offering a tangible asset for participants rather than speculation. The presale will distribute 200 million ZKP coins daily based on contribution size.

Despite the European Central Bank's (ECB) stance against Bitcoin, the Czech National Bank (CNB) has purchased approximately $1 million in Bitcoin, USD-backed stablecoins, and a tokenized deposit for a test portfolio. This portfolio is designed to assess the procedures for custody, valuation, compliance, and settlement related to these digital assets. While the CNB emphasizes this is not intended as a policy shift or to be included in official reserves, it marks the first time an EU-member central bank has established a framework capable of supporting Bitcoin at a sovereign level. The CNB is examining the complete workflow for managing digital instruments, including secure key management, AML verification, crisis-response simulations, and integration with reporting frameworks. This move is seen as significant because it establishes a structural foothold for Bitcoin in the global financial architecture, indicating that sovereign institutions are preparing to interact with it if conditions change, and reduces the asset's existential risk profile.

The crypto market is seeing strong investor interest in presales, which are early-stage opportunities to buy crypto tokens. This article highlights three projects: Digitap ($TAP), BlockchainFX (BFX), and BlockDAG (BDAG). Digitap is noted for having a live product, an omni-bank that combines fiat and cryptocurrencies, and a partnership with Visa that allows users to spend their crypto like cash via a prepaid Visa card. Digitap's $TAP token presale has raised almost $2 million, with the price set to increase before the weekend from $0.0297 to $0.0313. Half of Digitap's profits will be used to buy back and burn $TAP tokens, potentially increasing their value. BlockchainFX is developing a crypto super-app for trading various assets and has raised over $10 million, but is behind competitors in development. BlockDAG aims to create a high-throughput blockchain using Proof-of-Work and Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology, having raised nearly $450 million, but faces challenges in meeting performance expectations and competing with established blockchains.

While Dogecoin and Shiba Inu haven't performed well recently, other meme coins are gaining traction. Useless Coin (USELESS), launched in 2025 on Solana, brands itself as having no utility but has a strong community and has performed well during market recoveries. FARTCOIN, an AI-related meme coin, has over 160,000 holders and a market cap below $300 million, with high average daily trading volume. FLOKI's price often increases when Elon Musk posts about his dog, Floki, on X.

XRP is currently trading sideways, mirroring its behavior from earlier this year. Historically, the fourth quarter has been strong for XRP, with average returns of 134% over the past 12 years. Rising unrealized losses among investors have often led to price rebounds as investors seek to recover value. The MVRV Long/Short Difference is nearing a neutral zone, suggesting that long-term holders are seeing reduced profits, potentially setting the stage for short-term gains and subsequent price increases. XRP is trading at $2.29 after a 22% drop in October, with a potential bullish outlook suggesting a move above $2.50, possibly reaching $3.02. However, the coin's sideways movement could persist between $2.20 and $2.50 if historical patterns repeat.

Robinhood's stock price decreased despite reporting strong Q3 results, including an 89% increase in crypto income and a rise in monthly active users to 12.8 million. This decline is attributed to a shift in the crypto market where most trading activity occurred in futures, which Robinhood doesn't actively offer. The stock's performance is closely tied to Bitcoin's price, which also fell. While analysts have mixed views, some believe the stock could recover if Bitcoin rises again, particularly if it surpasses $138, signaling stronger buying activity. The company's revenue reached $608 million, and earnings per share exceeded expectations at $0.61.

Ether's price dropped significantly, falling 8% as Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) experienced outflows exceeding $1.4 billion. This decline coincided with long-term holders of Ether selling off their holdings, contributing to the downward pressure on the cryptocurrency's value.

Despite recent price drops in the cryptocurrency market, large investors, often referred to as whales, and institutional investors are increasing their investments in Bitcoin and Ethereum. This indicates that these major players are confident in the long-term value and potential of these cryptocurrencies, even during a period of market downturn.

An anonymous cryptocurrency investor, referred to as a 'whale' due to the large amounts they trade, moved 94.69 million XRP tokens to the Binance exchange. This transaction was detected and reported by Whale Alert, a platform that tracks large cryptocurrency transfers. This occurred around the same time as an 8% decrease in the price of XRP.

According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, Bitcoin is not currently in a bear market. His analysis is based on the continued flow of money into Bitcoin. He highlighted that Bitcoin's realized capitalization has reached $1.1 trillion, which is the highest it has ever been, showing ongoing investment in the cryptocurrency.

Michael Saylor has stated that the company is aggressively accumulating Bitcoin. This confirms the continuation of their established investment strategy focusing on Bitcoin accumulation.

Solana's price has dropped by 10% in the last 24 hours, falling below $140. This decline is part of a larger trend, with Solana losing 13% of its value this week, marking the third consecutive week of losses. The performance coincides with the lowest net inflows into US Solana spot ETFs since their launch, suggesting less institutional interest. Data shows a decrease in Solana futures Open Interest by 3.34% to $7.35 billion, along with a shift to negative funding rates, indicating more traders are betting against Solana. Technical analysis suggests that if Solana breaks below $126, it could further decline towards $100. However, maintaining value above $126 could lead to a potential recovery towards $155, though resistance at $175 may be strong.

Gemini has launched the Gemini American Business Card, a credit card that allows American businesses to earn 1.5% back in Bitcoin on their everyday expenses with no annual fee. This allows businesses to accumulate Bitcoin through regular spending. According to Statista, in 2025 there are over 110 million active crypto wallets in the United States. Gemini's Q3 2025 results showed growth, with 587,000 monthly transacting users, 63,700 new card sign-ups, trading volumes reaching $16.4 billion, and assets on the platform totaling $21.3 billion. Total revenue was $50.6 million, with services revenue accounting for $19.9 million. The Gemini Credit Card saw 75% quarter-over-quarter revenue growth, over 115,000 total open accounts, and more than $350 million in Q3 transaction volume.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs experienced their second largest outflows on record. This occurred as the price of Bitcoin decreased, falling below $95,000.

Tether, the issuer of the USDT stablecoin, is making a move to compete with banks in the commodity trade lending market. They have already deployed about $1.5 billion in loans using both US dollars and USDT, focusing on commodities like oil, cotton, and wheat. Tether's approach offers faster loan settlements, particularly in emerging markets, by using USDT for near-instantaneous transfers. This is happening as traditional banks have reduced their commodity lending due to past financial troubles, creating an opportunity for private lenders like Tether. The company's financial strength is substantial, potentially generating $15 billion this year and possibly reaching a valuation close to $500 billion with new capital. Tether is also increasing its holdings in precious metals, including gold, and has hired experts from HSBC to manage this growing asset.

New firms are utilizing a Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) model that involves funding with newly launched or less established altcoins, a departure from the common practice of buying assets like Bitcoin on the open market. These companies are raising funds by offering their own tokens, providing them with capital and a way to value illiquid assets. However, this approach is considered riskier, as the value of these altcoins is often questionable. For instance, Canton Coin (CC) was included in a DAT company before it even started trading, with Tharimmune, Inc. raising $545 million based on the sale of CC coins valued internally at $0.20. After launch, CC's price dropped, and Tharimmune's stock also declined. Another example is Flora Growth Corp., which reported a $401 million raise partially funded by 0G tokens, also crashing in value soon after launch. Experts warn that these in-kind DATs are essentially tied to the volatile value of a single token, making them risky investments. This model targets investors unaware of the risks associated with unproven crypto assets, offering liquidity to these assets.

The European Commission is proposing a major change to how crypto companies are regulated in Europe. Instead of each country's regulators overseeing crypto firms, the Commission wants the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) to be in charge of directly supervising all crypto companies operating in the EU. This shift would change the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework, which allows crypto companies to get approved in one EU country and then operate across the entire bloc. Industry groups are concerned that this change could create confusion and legal uncertainty, potentially delaying the approval process for crypto firms. There are also worries that ESMA may not have the resources to handle the workload currently managed by national regulators. France supports giving ESMA more power to ensure consistent enforcement of crypto rules, while ESMA itself has suggested that centralized oversight could be more efficient.

HyroTrader offers crypto traders a platform to trade with funded accounts, ranging from USDT 5,000 to USDT 200,000, after passing an evaluation. This evaluation involves achieving a 10% profit in Phase 1 and, potentially, a 5% profit in Phase 2, while adhering to a 5% daily and 10% overall drawdown limit. Successful traders get a live ByBit sub-account and the opportunity to scale up to USDT 1,000,000 based on quarterly performance reviews. HyroTrader provides a 70% initial profit split, which can increase to 90% with consistent profitability, and refunds the evaluation fee after the first payout. The platform allows various trading styles, using real exchange execution on ByBit with access to crypto perpetuals, linear contracts, spot pairs, and options with up to 1:100 leverage. The target user is an experienced crypto trader seeking stable capital, transparent rules, and fast payouts.

Michael Saylor has denied rumors that his company, MicroStrategy, is selling its Bitcoin holdings. This denial comes amid a significant downturn in the cryptocurrency market, where Bitcoin's value has dropped substantially. The rumor suggested MicroStrategy, known for its large Bitcoin investments, was changing its investment strategy by offloading some of its Bitcoin. However, Saylor's statement aims to reassure investors and clarify that MicroStrategy is maintaining its current Bitcoin investment strategy despite the market volatility.

The article suggests that BlockchainFX (BFX) is a promising cryptocurrency to consider for investment in 2025, highlighting its successful presale, international trading license, and staking system. The BFX presale has raised over $11 million, with the token priced at $0.03 and approaching a market launch price of $0.05. BlockchainFX has obtained authorization to operate under an international trading license. A special limited-time offer is available where investors can receive a 50 percent bonus on $BFX presale purchases using the code LICENSE50. The platform's staking system distributes 70% of trading fees to the community, with 50% going to stakers and 20% used for token buybacks and burns. BlockchainFX aims to be a multi-asset trading platform, offering access to crypto, stocks, forex, and ETFs. It also features a presale-exclusive Visa card for spending staking rewards. While Avalanche and Polkadot are also mentioned, the article positions BlockchainFX as a potentially stronger investment due to its focus on usability and present-day achievements.

Luxembourg has allocated 1% of its sovereign wealth fund to Bitcoin, marking one of the first instances of a European government investing national savings in a digital asset. This decision comes amid concerns about inflation, debt, and global economic uncertainty. The move is seen as a test of Bitcoin's potential as a store of value similar to gold. Institutional crypto investment products have recently seen over a billion dollars in net inflows, signaling growing confidence from major players in digital assets. Companies like Strategy have also adopted Bitcoin as a strategic asset to protect against currency weakening. Eric Trump predicts a major shift from gold to Bitcoin, highlighting Bitcoin's increasing recognition as a strong alternative to traditional stores of value.

Rumors circulated that Strategy, formerly MicroStrategy, sold a large amount of Bitcoin after on-chain data showed a movement of 58,915 BTC to new wallets. This led to a drop in Bitcoin's price below $95,000 and a 6% decrease in MicroStrategy's stock (MSTR). Michael Saylor, Strategy's executive chairman, denied the rumors of selling, stating that the movement of Bitcoin was for custody purposes. Market conditions were further impacted by ETF outflows, reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts, and the expiration of crypto options. Over 107,000 BTC was sent to Fidelity Custody, Coinbase Custody, and NYDIG Custody. Over $4 billion in Bitcoin options expired on Deribit, contributing to market volatility, and trading volume increased significantly as traders sold their holdings.

The Plume Network's native token, PLUME, has fallen to an all-time low of $0.035, representing an 85% drop from its peak in March. This decline occurred amidst a broad crypto market sell-off, with Bitcoin also experiencing a significant drop. The Plume Network experienced over $440,000 in futures liquidations, primarily from long positions. Despite positive developments such as SEC registration and acquisitions, Plume's price has been heavily affected by market conditions and negative social sentiment. Trading volume has surged, indicating heavy selling pressure. A further drop below $0.035 could lead to more losses, while recovery hinges on reclaiming the $0.05 support level. The token has decreased nearly 30% in the past week and 64% in the past three months.

The CoinDesk 20 index, which tracks the performance of the top digital assets, decreased because AAVE, a cryptocurrency, experienced a significant drop. AAVE's value fell by 7.8%, making it the biggest contributor to the index's decline. This means that overall, the value of the leading cryptocurrencies tracked by CoinDesk 20 went down, largely due to AAVE's poor performance.

Zcash (ZEC) has shown resilience despite a recent market downturn. The price of ZEC has been rallying even as other cryptocurrencies have fallen. A contributing factor may be the decreasing amount of ZEC on cryptocurrency exchanges. This shrinking supply on exchanges could be supporting the price increase, as it indicates less selling pressure.

UFC's parent company, TKO Group Holdings, has partnered with Polymarket, a prediction market platform, for a multi-year deal. The partnership will introduce a real-time Fan Prediction Scoreboard during live UFC broadcasts and at events. This scoreboard, powered by Polymarket, will display fan predictions for each fight as it progresses. Polymarket will also be integrated into UFC's social media content and event signage.

WisdomTree's research suggests Bitcoin and gold can complement each other in investment portfolios. Gold offers stability, while Bitcoin provides potential for high growth. Over the past decade, Bitcoin has shown higher risk-adjusted returns than gold, despite greater volatility. Bitcoin's volatility has decreased, and its liquidity has improved. Gold performs well during inflation and geopolitical instability, whereas Bitcoin acts as a hedge against fiat currency devaluation and technological changes. Their low correlation enhances portfolio diversification. Adding even a small amount of Bitcoin to a traditional portfolio can improve risk-adjusted returns.

Ark Invest, led by Cathie Wood, significantly increased its holdings in cryptocurrency-related companies this week. The firm purchased $30 million worth of Circle shares on Wednesday and an additional $15 million on Thursday. In total, Ark Invest bought $15.56 million worth of Circle, $8.86 million of BitMine, and $7.28 million of Bullish shares. These purchases were made across three of Ark Invest's exchange-traded funds: ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), ARK Next Generation Internet ETF (ARKW), and ARK Fintech Innovation ETF (ARKF). These investments occurred even as the stock prices of Circle, BitMine, and Bullish declined, with Circle dropping 4.59% to $82.34, BitMine falling 9.86% to $36.57, and Bullish decreasing 9.85% to $41.02. To fund these crypto investments, Ark Invest reduced its positions in other tech companies, selling $22 million worth of AMD shares, $15.6 million of Pinterest shares, and $8.2 million of Regeneron shares. This shift comes after Circle reported strong third-quarter earnings, with a 66% increase in total revenue and reserve income to $740 million and a 202% rise in net income to $214 million. USDC in circulation is up 108% year-over-year, ending the quarter at $73.7 billion.

BitMine Immersion, an Ethereum treasury firm founded by Tom Lee, has appointed Chi Tsang as its new CEO. This change in leadership signifies a shift in the company's direction as they navigate the cryptocurrency market. The company focuses on activities related to Ethereum, the second-largest cryptocurrency.

The Canary Capital XRP exchange-traded fund (XRPC) had a strong debut, achieving the highest first-day trading volume of any ETF launched in 2025. It recorded approximately $59.1 million in trading volume, slightly surpassing the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL), which had $57 million on its first day. Within the first 30 minutes, XRPC saw $26 million in trading volume and accumulated $245 million in inflows. This performance occurred even as the broader crypto market experienced a downturn, with XRP itself declining by 4.5% over the previous 24 hours.

Emirates airline, the world's most profitable, is planning to announce a partnership with SpaceX to bring Starlink high-speed internet to its fleet of approximately 250 wide-body jets with over 300 more on order. The announcement is expected at the Dubai Air Show. However, the deal hinges on the United Arab Emirates government approving Starlink for use within the country, which it currently hasn't done. Starlink also hasn't been certified for Emirates' A380 aircraft. Other Gulf airlines like Qatar Airways and Saudia already use Starlink. SpaceX's Starlink service now has over 8 million customers globally. SpaceX is expanding its capabilities by acquiring $2.6 billion worth of wireless spectrum licenses from EchoStar, building upon a previous $1.7 billion deal. International Airlines Group will also install Starlink on over 500 aircraft across British Airways, Iberia, and Aer Lingus starting in 2026.

American Bitcoin, co-founded by Eric Trump, reported a significant increase in revenue for the quarter ending September 30, reaching $64.2 million, up from $11.6 million the previous year. The company also achieved a net income of $3.5 million, a turnaround from a $0.6 million loss in the same period last year. This growth is attributed to their 'asset-light' mining approach, enabling them to mine Bitcoin at a lower cost than the market price. American Bitcoin currently holds 4,004 BTC, valued at approximately $400 million. The company claims to mine Bitcoin at roughly $56,000 per BTC due to energy agreements and access to renewable power. Launched in April and quickly listed on Nasdaq, American Bitcoin has become a top 25 global Bitcoin treasury. The company is part of a larger crypto push involving the Trump family, and it intends to focus on Bitcoin mining rather than exploring AI hosting. The current US administration is pushing for friendlier rules in the crypto sector.

Bitcoin Hyper, a project aiming to create faster and cheaper Bitcoin transactions using a Layer-2 solution, has attracted significant attention. A single purchase of $HYPER tokens worth $502,600 has signaled strong investor interest as the presale nears its end. Bitcoin Hyper uses a Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to process transactions quickly while still settling them on the Bitcoin blockchain for security. The project has already raised over $27.5 million in its presale, with tokens priced at $0.013275 and offering a 42% staking reward. Price predictions estimate potential returns of 572% by 2026 and 1,805% by 2030. The project aims to launch in Q4 2025/Q1 2026.

Nvidia's stock price has been declining, falling 2.4% on Friday after a 3.6% drop on Thursday, amidst a broader tech sector sell-off. This puts pressure on the company's upcoming earnings report on Wednesday. Analysts are generally optimistic, expecting strong third-quarter results and positive fourth-quarter guidance, driven by shipments of Blackwell Ultra hardware and increased production of older Hopper chips, potentially signaling a resumption of shipments to China. Nvidia is facing challenges, including potential export restrictions, as it opposes proposed legislation prioritizing US demand over exports to China, and growing competition from companies like Huawei, Google, Amazon, Meta, AMD, and Intel. Despite these challenges, Nvidia has reported substantial revenue growth and maintains strong profit margins, but historically its stock has experienced significant drops.

A draft of a new crypto market structure bill is under review, and industry players are asking for changes. The bill, led by Senators Boozman and Booker, aims to clarify definitions of digital commodities and focuses on customer protection, CFTC oversight, and self-custody. However, some parts, especially those about DeFi and AML, are still being debated. Industry groups believe the bill needs improvements for broader support, particularly regarding protections for DeFi developers. The Senate Agriculture Committee may wait for input from the Senate Banking Committee on DeFi regulations. The Senate Banking Committee also has two market structure drafts and might merge them. Chairman Boozman plans a markup session in early December to combine drafts into one framework. Also, the bill suggests the CFTC should consult with minority groups when choosing commissioners. Mike Selig is nominated for CFTC chair, but more commissioner nominations are expected.

Raoul Pal suggests that the end of the US government shutdown will lead to increased liquidity in the market, which he believes will benefit crypto. The Treasury General Account (TGA) spending is expected to increase liquidity, and the end of quantitative tightening (QT) in December 2025 will also contribute. Pal anticipates measures to avoid a year-end funding squeeze, such as term funding and the Standing Repo Facility (SRF). He also foresees potential changes to the Supplementary Leverage Ratio (SLR) that would allow banks to absorb more government debt, potentially lowering rates. Pal also expects the CLARITY Act for crypto to progress, providing regulatory clarity. He also mentions potential stimulus payments and fiscal spending in the US, along with balance sheet expansion in China and fiscal stimulus in Europe which may provide a synchronized liquidity injection. According to Pal, the increased liquidity and lower real yields will boost digital assets. At press time, the total crypto market cap dropped to $3.24 trillion.

Over $335 million worth of XRP, approximately 149 million tokens, was removed from cryptocurrency exchanges in a single day, marking a significant decrease in available XRP for trading. Despite this large movement of tokens, the price of XRP fell by 9% to around $2.30. The removal of XRP from exchanges suggests that holders may be planning to store their assets long-term, but this hasn't yet increased demand or the price. A US spot XRP ETF, XRPC, recently launched with substantial trading volume and inflows, but the price of XRP declined shortly after. Large transfers of XRP to exchanges have decreased since October, and the market shows a neutral trend. XRP's price is currently in a mid-range zone, showing no strong indicators for upward or downward price movement.

Organized crime groups operating from Southeast Asia are running sophisticated crypto scams, often referred to as 'pig-butchering,' that have evolved beyond simple consumer fraud into a national security threat involving human trafficking and money laundering. These scams involve building trust with victims before tricking them into investing in fake cryptocurrency platforms. In 2023, the US DOJ seized $112 million in crypto linked to these scams, and Chainalysis reported scam revenues reached $9.9 billion in 2024, with pig-butchering scams increasing by nearly 40% compared to the previous year. Law enforcement agencies are now targeting these operations by tracking crypto transactions, freezing assets, and launching task forces to disrupt the scam networks and prosecute facilitators. The US Department of Justice has launched a Scam Center Strike Force to target these transnational crime syndicates.

Grayscale, a cryptocurrency asset management firm, has filed an S-1 form to become a publicly traded company in the United States via an initial public offering (IPO) on the New York Stock Exchange, with the intended ticker symbol GRAY. The number of shares to be offered and their price range have not yet been determined. Grayscale reported $319 million in revenue for the nine months ending September 30, with approximately $35 billion in assets under management. However, this revenue represents a nearly 20% decrease compared to the same period last year. Fees generated from the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF and the Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF accounted for 88% of the company's total revenue during this nine-month timeframe.

This week Bitcoin experienced a significant drop, falling below $100,000 to around $94,500, marking a six-month low after a brief rally earlier in the week following positive news about the U.S. government reopening and potential tariff checks. The overall crypto market sentiment is bearish, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana all experiencing losses, while Litecoin, Monero, WLFI, UNI, and XRP showed gains. Notably, the first XRP ETF launched successfully. Large movements of Bitcoin by whales and miners were observed, often a precursor to price declines. Despite the price drop, Bitcoin's network fundamentals remain strong. The IRS introduced a safe harbor for tax-free staking for crypto ETPs, and UNI token's value increased due to a proposed fee switch. The total market capitalization is $3.3T with a 24-hour volume of $280B.

The article compares Cardano (ADA) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) as potential crypto investments for 2025. Cardano's price is facing resistance around $0.66, and failure to break this level could lead to a price decrease towards $0.50-$0.53. Mutuum Finance, currently priced at $0.035, is in Phase 2 of its development roadmap, focusing on smart contract coding and internal testing. Phase 3 will involve testnet testing before the mainnet launch with V1, expected in 2026. V1 will enable features like liquidity pools and the use of mtToken, Debt Token, and Liquidator Bot solutions, initially supporting ETH and USDT. Mutuum Finance has raised over $18.8 million from almost 18,000 contributors, with Phase 6 nearing completion at a price of $0.035 and Phase 7 set to climb to $0.04. The project's DeFi solution and roadmap development aim for MUTM to potentially reach $1.

US stock futures fell sharply on Friday, indicating a further decline after the previous day's significant sell-off. Nasdaq futures were down 1.5%, with technology stocks like Tesla (down 4% premarket) and Nvidia (down 3%) leading the losses. Bitcoin also dropped below $96,000, marking a more than 20% decrease from its October peak. This downturn is largely attributed to shifting expectations regarding Federal Reserve policy, with the odds of a December interest rate cut falling to below 50% from 95% just a month prior. Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari cited economic resilience and inflation concerns as reasons to potentially pause rate cuts. Globally, markets also reflected this pressure, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng, Japan's Nikkei, and London's FTSE all experiencing declines. President Trump is planning tariff cuts to lower food costs.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, resulting in over $1.1 billion in liquidations across various exchanges within a 24-hour period. The majority of these liquidations, totaling $978 million, impacted traders who had bet on prices increasing, primarily involving Bitcoin and Ether positions. Bitcoin's price fell by 5% to a low of $96,170, while Ether saw a steeper decline of 9% to $3,126. Bitcoin ETFs also experienced substantial net withdrawals of $870 million on November 13th, marking the second-largest outflow on record, and Ethereum funds recorded $260 million in outflows for the third consecutive day.

Aave Labs has launched zero-fee on-and-off ramping for its GHO stablecoin and other stablecoins across Aave products in Europe, aiming to simplify the transition between traditional currency and DeFi. This was enabled by its subsidiary, Push, gaining regulatory authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) in Ireland under the MiCAR framework, making it one of the first DeFi innovators in Europe to operate under the new rules. This allows users to securely convert between euros and digital assets without fees. Aave chose Ireland as its base for European operations, while emphasizing that the Aave Protocol itself remains decentralized. Aave's ecosystem is active, processing over $542 million in volume in the last 24 hours, with over $22.8 billion in borrowed assets. The global stablecoin supply has exceeded $300 billion, with Tether's USDT leading at $184 billion, followed by Circle's USDC at $75 billion. However, the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB) and the European Central Bank (ECB) have warned about the risks stablecoins pose to financial stability, particularly concerning the multi-issuance model, while the Bank of England has introduced rules limiting stablecoin holdings and requiring issuers to hold collateral with the central bank.

Ondas Holdings (ONDS) reported a significant revenue increase of 582% year-over-year in Q3 2025, reaching $10.1 million, primarily due to recent acquisitions and growth in its autonomous drone business. The company has increased its revenue target for 2025 to at least $36 million and set a preliminary target of $110 million for 2026. This growth is attributed to the acquisitions of Apeiro Motion and Sentrycs, which expanded Ondas' capabilities in ground robotics and counter-drone technology. Ondas has a substantial cash balance of $840.4 million, supporting further expansion through acquisitions and organic growth. Oppenheimer upgraded Ondas Holdings' stock rating from Market Perform to Outperform, setting a price target of $12 per share, based on the company's strong Q3 results and improved financial outlook.

Ethereum's price has dropped 10% to around $3,100 due to a widespread cryptocurrency market selloff. Investors have been selling, realizing both profits and losses. The price is nearing the average cost basis for large Ethereum holders (whales), around $2,900, and a drop below this level could trigger more selling. If the price fails to stay above $3,170, it could fall further towards $2,900. Conversely, if Ethereum recovers above $3,170, it might rally towards $3,592.

US stock futures showed little movement on Friday following a significant sell-off in major indexes, particularly in tech stocks. Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000, dropping 6.5% to $96,968 and losing over $450 billion in market value since early October, mirroring broader risk asset weakness linked to rate uncertainty and tech stock losses. The probability of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut in December has decreased to 52%, down from 63% the previous day and 95% a month earlier, influenced by cautious comments from Fed officials highlighting ongoing economic resilience. Applied Materials anticipates a decrease in China's spending on chipmaking equipment in 2026 due to US export restrictions, projecting a $600 million revenue impact. Weekly unemployment claims modestly declined to 227,543, but not enough to significantly strengthen arguments for a December rate cut. The decline in Bitcoin is also correlated to weaker investments from major funds and corporate buyers.

A German court has ordered Google to pay a total of 573 million euros to two German price comparison websites, Idealo and Producto GmbH, due to losses they incurred as a result of Google's anti-competitive practices. Idealo will receive 374 million euros plus interest payments, while Producto GmbH will receive 89.7 million euros plus interest. These cases stem from a 2017 European Commission ruling that fined Google 2.4 billion euros for favoring its own shopping service in search results. Separately, Google is proposing changes to its ad technology in an attempt to settle another EU antitrust case, where it faces a potential 3 billion euro fine. These changes include allowing publishers to set minimum prices for ad space and improving compatibility with other ad systems. The EU's competition enforcer has suggested Google might need to sell parts of its advertising business to resolve the issues fully.

Chainlink's price dropped below $14, experiencing a double-digit percentage decrease as the broader cryptocurrency market faced significant downturns. This decline mirrored Bitcoin's fall to under $96,000, impacting other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana, which also saw substantial losses around 10%. The overall market downturn was potentially accelerated by false information regarding Strategy selling Bitcoin. Chainlink is currently around $14, but could decline to around $10 if the bearish trend continues. Despite the current slump, there is optimism about Chainlink's long-term potential, citing factors like regulatory changes, partnerships, and the buzz around spot exchange-traded funds.

The crypto market experienced a significant downturn, with Bitcoin dropping below $97,000 and other major cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana also declining. Over $1 billion in long positions were liquidated as a result of the price drop. This crash was influenced by a large expiry of Bitcoin and Ethereum options, totaling billions of dollars, as well as substantial outflows from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs amounting to $870 million. The decline was triggered by hotter-than-expected U.S. inflation numbers, which diminished hopes for a near-term interest rate cut and led to risk aversion among traders. Despite the market crash, there were positive developments, including the XRPC ETF's successful launch and ARK Invest's purchase of Circle shares. Aave Labs also received MiCA approval in Europe, a significant step for DeFi regulation. However, allegations of market manipulation surfaced regarding POPCAT on Hyperliquid.

American Bitcoin, a company with ties to the Trump family, reported a profitable third quarter, having doubled its revenue compared to the previous quarter. This indicates a significant increase in the company's financial performance within the cryptocurrency sector.

Canary Capital launched the first US-based XRP ETF, named XRPC, which began trading on Nasdaq and achieved a launch-day trading volume of $58 million. This volume surpassed that of all other ETFs launched this year, including Bitwise's Solana ETF. Despite the ETF launch, the price of XRP fell by 7.3%, accompanied by a high-volume selloff and significant movement of XRP tokens between wallets. Analysts remain optimistic, suggesting XRP could potentially reach $5 by 2026, driven by institutional interest. Franklin Templeton and Bitwise are expected to launch their XRP spot ETFs soon.

BlockchainFX (BFX) is being highlighted as a potentially high-growth cryptocurrency presale, drawing comparisons to XRP's early success. The project has gained attention after securing an AOFA trading license, a regulatory achievement that has boosted investor confidence. BlockchainFX has already raised over $11.1 million from over 17,500 participants, nearing its $12 million soft cap, with the presale price currently at $0.03. The platform aims to merge decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional assets like stocks and ETFs. Investors are incentivized with daily staking rewards and a $500,000 giveaway for those purchasing $100 or more of BFX. The license is considered a major step, lending credibility and opening doors for international partnerships and exchange listings. The project anticipates a launch price of $0.05, offering an immediate gain for early investors, with potential long-term price targets of $1 or higher being discussed.

Strategy (MSTR) stock, formerly MicroStrategy, has fallen below its market-to-net-asset-value (mNAV) for the first time since early 2024, trading at 0.977. This means the stock's market value is less than the value of its underlying assets, primarily Bitcoin. An Executive Vice President, Shao Wei-Ming, sold approximately $2.58 million worth of Strategy stock under a pre-planned trading arrangement as he prepares for retirement. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen suggested that the collapse of the mNAV premium calls into question the value of digital asset treasury companies like Strategy, indicating holding MSTR stock offers no advantage over holding Bitcoin directly. Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy, dismissed concerns from short-sellers, emphasizing the growth of digital capital and the company's digital credit offerings. Technical analysis suggests the stock may recover if it maintains support above $225.50, but could decline further if it fails to hold that level.

Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is being discussed as a notable crypto presale for 2025 because it aims to create a Layer 2 network on Bitcoin. This Layer 2 is designed to make Bitcoin faster and more programmable, enabling things like decentralized applications, staking, and faster transactions, while still using Bitcoin for security. Bitcoin Hyper works by letting users deposit Bitcoin, which is then verified on the Solana Virtual Machine to create a tokenized equivalent on the Hyper Layer 2. These tokens can be used for various activities, and transactions are periodically linked back to Bitcoin using zero-knowledge proofs. The presale of HYPER tokens has attracted significant investment. Staking HYPER tokens during the presale offers relatively high returns, encouraging early participation. The project aims to allow Bitcoin to be used more versatilely for applications, fast transactions and decentralized finance. The project's success depends on the reliable operation of its technology, including secure bridges and stable Layer 2 network performance. High staking yields during the presale are not guaranteed after launch and may decrease. The project's reliance on both Bitcoin and its own Layer 2 development also poses risks.

Trade Republic has launched a new crypto wallet that allows users to transfer cryptocurrencies to and from external wallets without fees. The wallet also enables users to stake their crypto holdings to earn weekly rewards, turning crypto assets into a source of passive income. Furthermore, users will receive 2% Crypto Saveback when spending their cryptocurrencies, incentivizing the use of digital assets for everyday purchases.

Robinhood's stock experienced a drop from recent highs after a company director, Jonathan Rubinstein, sold $5.6 million worth of his shares. The sale, involving 42,430 shares, was executed on November 11, 2025, at prices ranging from $131.76 to $134.37 per share. These transactions were part of a pre-arranged trading plan established in August 2025. This event follows a period of significant growth for Robinhood, with the stock price increasing by 316% over the past year. The company also reported strong third-quarter results for 2025, with revenue up 100% year-over-year and earnings exceeding expectations. Several analysts have raised their price targets for Robinhood stock following these positive results.

Alibaba is integrating AI and tokenized USD and EUR payments into its B2B platform, Alibaba.com, to enhance global trade efficiency. The company is launching a new subscription service called AI Mode, which helps buyers compare suppliers based on price, logistics, and production ability. This service aims to create a new revenue stream, potentially costing $20 per month or $99 per year. To streamline cross-border payments, Alibaba plans to use tokenization, a digital form of fiat money, enabling faster and more direct transactions between buyers and suppliers globally, working with partners like JPMorgan. They will also introduce 'agentic pay' in December, an AI-powered tool to automatically generate contracts based on buyer-supplier conversations, aiming to simplify and accelerate the contracting process.

An article highlights five crypto presales gaining traction in Q4 2025: BlockchainFX (BFX), BlockDAG, Remittix, Bitcoin Hyper, and Snorter Token. BlockchainFX is being touted as a potential "100x Coin" due to its regulated status, strong presale performance, and real-world application linking crypto with traditional finance. BlockchainFX has raised over $11.1 million from over 17,500 participants, priced at $0.03 with a planned launch price of $0.05. The project is licensed by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA). It offers a platform with over 500 assets including crypto, forex, ETFs, and commodities, along with daily staking rewards for BFX holders. A limited-time bonus code, LICENSE50, provides a 50% increase in tokens purchased. Other projects mentioned include BlockDAG, focused on blockchain speed; Remittix, aiming to improve cross-border payments; Bitcoin Hyper, trying to offer a faster version of Bitcoin; and Snorter Token, a meme-based coin.

A whale wallet purchased over $500,000 worth of Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) tokens, boosting the presale to over $27.5 million. Bitcoin Hyper aims to improve Bitcoin's transaction speed and smart contract capabilities using a Solana-based Layer-2 solution. The project intends to address Bitcoin's limitations by using Solana's technology to handle faster transactions. The presale price is currently $0.013275 per token, and early participants can stake their tokens for a 42% APY. The project's mainnet launch is targeted for late 2025 to early 2026. Token distribution allocates 25% to treasury, 20% to marketing, 10% to exchange listings, and 30% to ongoing development.

The article discusses the potential price declines for XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Cardano (ADA). It focuses on identifying possible support levels where these cryptocurrencies might stop falling. The article does not offer specific price predictions, but examines key levels that traders are watching to gauge how much further the value of these altcoins could decrease based on current market trends.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is considering new rules for how companies report cryptocurrency asset transactions to improve financial reporting accuracy. The FASB made this decision because existing regulations for recognizing and reporting cryptocurrencies were unclear, leading to inaccurate financial reports. The discussions focus on broadening the framework established in 2023, which offered initial guidance for crypto assets. Under the 2023 framework (ASU 2023-08), organizations are required to evaluate certain crypto assets at fair value, with adjustments reflected in net income at each reporting period, and provide more information on their holdings. These rules were set to take effect for fiscal years after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. FASB's chairman, Richard Jones, indicated the board has added a new project to its research plans focusing on how businesses account for digital assets, reflecting pressure from Washington for more regulations. Some critics argue the new rules omit important crypto elements like governance tokens, wrapped tokens, and NFTs.

Bitcoin miner Bitfarms is shifting its focus from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure due to a significant $46 million loss in the third quarter, nearly double the loss from the same period last year. The company plans to wind down its Bitcoin operations over the next few years, with its Washington State facility being the first to convert to high-performance computing and AI workloads. Bitfarms has secured a $128 million agreement for IT equipment to support this transition. The company believes its AI ventures could be more profitable than Bitcoin mining. Despite a 156% year-over-year revenue increase to $69 million, Bitfarms mined 520 BTC at an average cost of $48,200, holding 1,827 BTC as of Wednesday. Shares of Bitfarms fell sharply, dropping nearly 18% to $2.60 following the announcement. The move comes amid accounting errors in previous reports and a major debt financing deal. Other mining companies like Marathon Digital and IREN are also exploring AI, as it's seen as more profitable with fewer regulations. Bitcoin itself has recently fallen to its lowest level in six months.

Veteran trader Peter Brandt has cautioned that Bitcoin's price could potentially fall below the average purchase price of MicroStrategy's (MSTR) Bitcoin holdings. This warning comes as MicroStrategy's market capitalization to net asset value (mNAV) ratio is decreasing, suggesting the market may be reassessing the value of the company's Bitcoin holdings. A drop below MicroStrategy's average purchase price would signify Bitcoin trading lower than where a major institutional investor initially bought in.

On November 13th, ARK Invest, led by Cathie Wood, significantly shifted its investment portfolio. The firm sold 87,051 shares of AMD, a semiconductor company, for approximately $22.5 million following a recent surge in the stock price after AMD's Analyst Day presentation. Simultaneously, ARK invested heavily in the cryptocurrency sector, purchasing $16.3 million worth of Circle Internet shares across three ETFs; Circle operates the infrastructure behind the USDC stablecoin. Additionally, ARK invested $9.8 million in Bitmine Immersion Technologies, a company providing infrastructure for crypto mining. ARK also reduced its holdings in other technology companies, selling Pinterest shares for $15.6 million, Regeneron shares for $8.2 million, and Salesforce shares for $5.4 million. The firm also continued building positions in biotechnology companies such as Beam Therapeutics and Recursion Pharmaceuticals.

Zcash is seeing increased acceptance by merchants, with over 12% of listed merchants now accepting it, surpassing other cryptocurrencies like Solana and Cardano. The distribution of Zcash holders is relatively even, suggesting lower risk of market manipulation. The use of Zcash's privacy features is also increasing, with a significant rise in shielded transactions. However, the Zcash price chart indicates it may be overvalued, potentially leading to a price drop of up to 30%, before potentially recovering. While a short-term price decrease or consolidation is possible, the long-term outlook for Zcash in 2025 remains positive due to growing real-world use and demand for privacy in cryptocurrency transactions.

Cidara Therapeutics' stock price nearly doubled after news broke that Merck is close to acquiring the company for $9.2 billion. Merck is offering $221.50 per share in cash, which is almost three times Cidara's previous market value of $3.3 billion. The acquisition is primarily driven by Cidara's experimental flu prevention drug, CD388, which showed 76% efficacy in mid-stage trials and has received breakthrough therapy designation from the FDA. This drug offers a novel approach to flu prevention using long-acting antibodies, potentially replacing traditional annual flu shots. Another pharmaceutical company was also bidding for Cidara, which drove up the acquisition price. The deal is expected to be finalized around November 14, 2025, and includes potential milestone payments if CD388 achieves specific clinical trial goals.

Bitcoin experienced a significant drop from nearly $126,000 to below $95,000, resulting in a market wipeout of over $680 billion. This has led analysts to recommend dollar-cost averaging (DCA) as a strategy. DCA involves buying a fixed amount of Bitcoin at regular intervals, regardless of the price, to mitigate risk and emotional decision-making.
