Zcash (ZEC) has experienced a significant price drop, falling over 32% in the past week to around $365, after previously rallying from $40 to $700. This decline follows the breaching of key support levels, including the 50-day simple moving average and the $480 horizontal support. Trading volume has surged, exceeding $1 billion in the last 24 hours, with the price fluctuating between $356 and $457. Technical indicators like the MACD and Money Flow Index suggest continued downward momentum. Analysts point to potential further declines if the $370 zone breaks, with the next area of interest around $297 to $311. While some anticipate further drops to around $55, Grayscale has plans to convert its Zcash Trust into an ETF, which could potentially increase investor access to ZEC.

Bitcoin's price is currently facing selling pressure, with some experts predicting a potential drop. 10x Research suggests Bitcoin could trade between $70,000 and $100,000 by the end of the year. Veteran trader Peter Brandt has pointed to support levels around $70,000 and even lower in the mid-$40,000 range. Glassnode data indicates that investors and larger holders, known as whales, will likely try to defend the $80,000 level. Recently, Bitcoin experienced a price drop of over 6% due to broader economic concerns, including hints of a potential interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan. 10x Research notes resistance levels between $90,000-$92,000 and $99,000-$101,000. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $86,383, with increased trading volume.

Coinbase experienced a record high of 12,716 government information requests between October 2024 and September 2025, a 19% increase from the previous year. Over half of these requests originated from international sources, with France showing the largest increase at 111%. The United States remains the top source of requests, followed by Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Australia. This surge in requests occurs as Coinbase faces heightened regulatory scrutiny due to past compliance failures, including a significant fine in Europe for anti-money laundering lapses and a cybersecurity breach affecting nearly 70,000 customers. Despite these challenges, a recent shift in the U.S. regulatory environment has seen the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) dropping its enforcement action against Coinbase.

Ripple has received approval from Singapore to expand its regulated payment services, signaling a move towards regulated crypto payment infrastructure. This development highlights the growing importance of the Asian market for crypto fintech companies, especially for cross-border transactions. The approval suggests that blockchain solutions can operate within strict regulatory frameworks, potentially benefiting users through faster and cheaper transactions. Meanwhile, there's increasing innovation around Bitcoin, particularly with Layer-2 solutions like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), which aims to combine Bitcoin's security with the efficiency of virtual machines such as Solana. Bitcoin Hyper has already raised $28,814,775.96 in its presale at a price of $0.013355 per token. This shows that the market is looking for transaction applications and the need to carefully assess risk when it comes to new infrastructure projects.

As December 2025 begins, three cryptocurrency presales are attracting significant investor attention: Mono Protocol, Nexchain, and WeWake. Mono Protocol, currently in stage 19 with tokens priced at $0.0550, has raised $3.64 million of its $3.80 million goal and offers cross-chain integration. Its projected launch price is $0.50. Nexchain, in stage 29 and priced at $0.116, has raised $12.21 million of its $12.97 million target, and boasts AI-optimized throughput of 400,000 transactions per second, with a launch price of $0.30. WeWake, in stage 17 at $0.0340 per token, simplifies user onboarding by removing traditional wallet requirements and has raised $1.47 million toward its $2.21 million goal. Each project presents different strengths such as multi-chain functionality, AI scalability, and ease of use for newcomers to crypto.

Pepe's price is at a critical point, with potential for a large price swing in either direction. The $0.000004 level is a key support that could either trigger a 500% rally to previous all-time highs around $0.000028 or, if broken, lead to a 75% drop toward $0.000001. Open Interest in Pepe has increased significantly, indicating traders are actively positioning themselves. The article also mentions PepeNode, a mine-to-earn game where users can earn passive rewards in meme coins without having to actively trade volatile meme coins. The PepeNode presale has already raised over $2.25 million, and early stakers can earn high APY.

While the price of XRP has recently experienced some volatility, a notable trend has emerged among its largest holders. The number of XRP wallets holding over 100 million XRP has decreased by 569 wallets in the past two months. However, the total amount of XRP held by these remaining large wallets has reached a seven-year high, currently at 48 billion XRP. This indicates that fewer, but stronger, investors are accumulating XRP, absorbing the supply from those exiting. This consolidation suggests that while some large holders are taking profits or moving their funds, others are increasing their XRP holdings significantly. If this accumulation continues, XRP's price could stabilize above key support levels. However, failure to maintain whale demand may expose the price to a pullback before recovery begins.

Analysts are suggesting Dogecoin may be poised for a significant price increase. One analyst, Javon Marks, sees a potential 174% rally to $0.374, with longer-term targets of $0.6533 and even $1.25. This optimistic outlook is based on Dogecoin forming higher support levels and breaking out of its downtrend. Another analyst, Sudelytic, highlights a key resistance zone between $0.30 and $0.35. A successful break above this zone could lead to targets above $1.50, but failure to overcome it might result in continued sideways trading.

Bitcoin has dropped below $90,000, leading to worries about a potential bear market. Large Bitcoin holders, referred to as 'whales,' are moving their Bitcoin to exchanges like Binance, with inflows nearly doubling to 4,000 BTC, indicating they are reducing risk or preparing to reposition their holdings. This increase in activity from whales contrasts with retail investors, who have remained relatively passive. Bitcoin's price is currently testing its 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a key support level. Breaking below this level could lead to further price drops towards $78,000 or $72,000. The 3-day chart is reflecting persistent selling pressure. A failure to reclaim the $92,000-$95,000 range would favor a downtrend continuation.

President Trump has announced that he has selected his nominee for the next Federal Reserve chair, with an announcement expected soon. Kevin Hassett is considered the leading candidate. Markets reacted to the news by anticipating a more relaxed monetary policy, including potential interest rate cuts, after Trump repeatedly criticized current chair Jerome Powell for not cutting rates fast enough. This decision comes at a time when the Federal Reserve is dealing with rising unemployment, delayed economic data, and disagreements within the board regarding potential rate cuts in December. Trump has been very critical of Powell, accusing him of hindering economic growth, and the next chair will inherit a divided Federal Reserve facing a mix of economic and political pressures.

Yorkville Acquisition Corp. (MCGA), a special purpose acquisition company, has filed paperwork with the SEC to move forward with its plan to combine with Trump Media & Technology Group and Crypto(.)com. As part of this, Yorkville is appointing Steve Gutterman as CEO and Sim Salzman as CFO. After the deal is completed, the company will be renamed Trump Media Group CRO Strategy and will focus on acquiring and managing Cronos (CRO) tokens, the cryptocurrency of the Cronos blockchain. The new company plans to accumulate CRO tokens, stake them, and run a validator node to generate income. Initial funding includes about $1 billion in CRO tokens, $200 million in cash, $220 million in warrants, and a $5 billion credit line. Trump Media is also integrating CRO into its Truth Social platform, including using CRO for payments and rewards, and has purchased a significant amount of CRO. However, the price of CRO has recently declined, resulting in unrealized losses for Trump Media's CRO holdings.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, losing $240 billion in value within 24 hours. Bitcoin fell below $85,000, and other major cryptocurrencies also declined. The selloff was triggered by rising Japanese bond yields, which sparked fears of investors unwinding yen carry trades. This global risk-off sentiment led to widespread liquidations of nearly $700 million in crypto positions. Traders are now anticipating U.S. economic data releases and a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, which could influence expectations for future interest rate cuts. Concerns around Tether also contributed to the market's instability.

South Korea's effort to regulate stablecoins faces a crucial deadline of December 10th. Lawmakers have given the government until then to propose a draft bill for stablecoin oversight. If the government fails to meet this deadline, legislators will proceed independently. The primary disagreement revolves around whether banks should lead stablecoin issuance or whether technology firms should have a more significant role. Some lawmakers advocate for at least 50% bank ownership due to concerns about monetary policy and financial stability, while others support allowing fintech companies to participate more freely to foster innovation. The Financial Intelligence Unit is also updating its anti-money laundering protocols for stablecoins. Meanwhile, companies like Naver Financial and KakaoBank are developing stablecoin wallets and infrastructure, indicating market interest despite regulatory uncertainty. The country is behind other major economies in formalizing stablecoin regulations and there are concerns about South Korea's competitiveness. Minimum capital requirements of about 5 billion won are being considered.

Polymarket, a crypto prediction platform, faced criticism for allowing third-party tools to integrate a Ukrainian war map (DeepStateMap.Live) into its betting interface without permission. DeepStateMap.Live is used by civilians to track the conflict and is funded by donations and has an agreement with Ukraine's Ministry of Defense. A tool called PolyGlobe integrated DeepStateMap's API to allow users to bet on the war more easily. DeepStateMap condemned the integration, saying they did not authorize their map to be used for gambling. The integration has since been removed. Polymarket has almost $100 million in volume in the war markets. The platform explicitly names the Institute for the Study of War's Ukraine map, and DeepStateMap.Live as a backup, as the primary resolution source for the bets. There are concerns that these markets are negatively impacting humanitarian efforts. DeepStateMap is funded by donations and government support, its API is intentionally oriented toward humanitarian uses, journalists, and civil defense. DeepStateMap says that systematic attempts at unauthorized use are forcing them to tighten API access.

Michael Burry stated that Tesla is overvalued, pointing to its price being 209 times its expected earnings. He criticized Tesla's stock dilution of 3.6% annually due to stock-based compensation and Elon Musk's compensation package. Burry noted Tesla's shifting focus from electric cars to autonomous driving and now robots, anticipating increased competition. He also revealed past short positions in Nvidia and Palantir, using put options, and argued that AI demand is inflated, accusing AI companies of hiding hardware depreciation. Nvidia countered that Burry's calculations on stock-based compensation were incorrect. Burry compared Nvidia to Cisco in the late 1990s, anticipating a stock crash. Despite recent Wall Street analysts' positive outlook on Tesla, Burry maintains his skepticism.

Bitcoin saw a surge in retail buying on Binance, with users purchasing 6,870 BTC after the price exceeded $91,400. This buying occurred as long-term holders of Bitcoin were selling off their holdings, taking profits at the higher prices. On-chain data indicated a large increase in short-term holders buying Bitcoin, which has historically been a sign of a potential market top. Simultaneously, long-term holders reduced their Bitcoin holdings, a pattern previously observed before market corrections. The market experienced volatility, with significant liquidations of leveraged positions and a sharp price drop of $5,000. Bitcoin is currently consolidating between the $84,570 support level and a $112,340 resistance ceiling, with a recent drop to around $86,300.

The XRP Ledger experienced a significant increase in AccountSet and AMM Bid transactions this week. AccountSet transactions, which update account settings like security and permissions, reached their highest level in years with over 40,000 transactions in late November. This suggests institutions are preparing or reconfiguring a large number of accounts. Additionally, AMM Bid transactions, used by liquidity providers, surged after November 23, indicating preparations to secure positions in XRPL's automated market-maker pools. This activity coincides with developments like RLUSD approvals and AMM rollout progress. The surge also follows the debut of spot XRP ETFs in the United States, which accumulated $643.92 million in net inflows and reached $676.49 million in total ETF assets. While ETF inflows don't directly affect the ledger, they can influence custodial management and infrastructure.

Bitnomial is set to launch the first spot cryptocurrency market regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This means Bitnomial will allow users to directly buy and sell cryptocurrencies under the oversight of a major US regulatory body. The launch signifies a move towards greater regulatory acceptance and potentially increased trust and participation in the digital asset market.

Bitcoin's price fell to $85,512, a 7% decrease, erasing weekend gains. The broader cryptocurrency market experienced a downturn of over 7%, resulting in a loss of over $200 billion in market capitalization. This market slide occurred on the first day of December and was attributed to negative market sentiment originating in Asia.

OpenAI has acquired a stake in Thrive Holdings, a private equity firm created by Josh Kushner, in exchange for access to OpenAI's products, engineers, and data. No cash was exchanged. Instead, Thrive Holdings' portfolio companies will gain access to OpenAI resources, and OpenAI will later be paid from Thrive Holdings' financial returns. OpenAI will also gain access to data from Thrive's businesses to train its AI models. Thrive Capital, Josh Kushner's investment firm, had previously invested over $1 billion in OpenAI in 2024. This deal aims to expand OpenAI's reach into business customers, building on its existing base of roughly 1 million enterprise customers, including Spotify, Canva, and Zillow, and about 800 million weekly ChatGPT users. Recently OpenAI has also signed several deals with chip suppliers, and has acquired io, a hardware startup.

The article promotes BlockchainFX (BFX) as a potentially strong crypto investment for 2025, highlighting its platform that allows trading of various assets like crypto, stocks, and forex. It emphasizes a limited-time Cyber Monday offer, ending December 2nd at 2 PM UTC, where investors can get 50% extra BFX tokens using the code CYBER50. BlockchainFX has raised over $11.8 million with over 18,800 investors, and the presale price is $0.030. They have secured an AOFA trading license and aim to redistribute up to 70% of trading fees to token holders as staking rewards. The article suggests potential for significant returns if BFX reaches a $1 post-launch price. Additionally, there's a $500,000 Gleam giveaway for investors buying over $100 of BFX. The article contrasts BlockchainFX with Polkadot (DOT), acknowledging Polkadot's strong technology but suggesting that BlockchainFX offers greater early-stage growth potential.

BlockDAG has introduced a new feature called Beat Vesting which gives buyers more of their BDAG coin for the same price of $0.0078, reducing the available supply. The presale has already raised over $436 million and has 4.1 billion coins left. Additionally, a core founder from Ethereum and a senior executive from Cardano are joining BlockDAG's leadership team in operational roles. This is intended to strengthen the project's framework and is driving increased demand with the company aiming for a $1 billion+ market capitalization.

Bitcoin briefly rose above $91,000, but large Bitcoin holders, known as whales (wallets holding 100 to 1,000 BTC), have stopped increasing their Bitcoin holdings after months of buying. This pause in accumulation among whales, which includes funds, companies, and professionals, is drawing attention because it is similar to a pattern observed before a significant price drop in 2021. These large investors are also reducing their long positions or increasing their short positions, suggesting they are becoming more pessimistic about Bitcoin's near-term price. At the same time, smaller retail investors are still buying Bitcoin, creating a divergence. This kind of divergence often leads to the Bitcoin price moving sideways, or it could mean whales are waiting for the price to drop to around $80,000 to buy more. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $86,275, down more than 5% in the last day.

Ethereum's price is currently around $2,900-$3,000, stabilizing after a recent drop. Analysts are watching to see if it can hold above $2,700 and potentially move towards $3,800, with some long-term predictions suggesting it could reach $4,200 in 2025 under favorable conditions. A key resistance level to watch is around $3,058; breaking above that could signal a move higher. However, some traders are cautious and waiting for a potential dip before buying. A network upgrade is scheduled for December, which historically has led to price volatility. Exchange reserves of Ethereum have also decreased, which could make the price more sensitive to buying pressure. If Ethereum fails to stay above $2,700-$2,800, it might fall to lower support levels between $2,000 and $2,400.

Bitcoin is under pressure, recently falling to $86,000 due to a weaker market. Analysts are worried because short-term Bitcoin holders, who haven't seen profits since early 2023, are now in a profitable position, which could lead to them selling off their Bitcoin quickly. Historically, this situation can cause prices to drop further. Also, the network is showing signs of being overvalued compared to its actual usage, suggesting a potential price correction. Bitcoin is currently holding just above the $85,204 support level. If it falls below this level, it could drop further, but if buyers step in, it could bounce back toward $89,800 and potentially $90,000.

The Bank of Russia is considering easing regulations on cryptocurrency transactions due to sanctions limiting Russia's access to traditional finance. They are in discussions with the Ministry of Finance to potentially allow a broader range of investors to access digital currencies like Bitcoin, moving beyond the current restrictions that limit crypto access to a small group of highly qualified investors. This change in stance comes after the central bank previously opposed the free circulation of crypto but later introduced an experimental legal regime allowing companies to use crypto for cross-border settlements and authorized derivative instruments for qualified investors. The current rules require individuals to have at least 100 million rubles in bank deposits and securities and an annual income of over 50 million rubles to qualify as highly qualified investors. The central bank is also exploring allowing mutual funds to invest in crypto derivatives and has urged lawmakers to create comprehensive legislation for crypto investments outside the experimental regime, suggesting a future where crypto assets could become a normal financial instrument.

Filecoin's price dropped over 10% to around $1.46, underperforming the broader crypto market. This decline was driven by a surge in selling, with trading volume rising significantly above its average. A key support level at $1.58 was broken and turned into resistance at $1.47. The selling pressure appeared to ease around $1.46, but further drops are possible if this level doesn't hold, potentially leading to a price of $1.40. Recovery depends on Filecoin reclaiming $1.58 as a support level. The broader crypto market also experienced a downturn, but Filecoin's drop was more severe.

Ethereum's price has declined, mirroring patterns observed in 2017 and 2020. Despite this drop, Ethereum has re-entered a price range where it has historically rallied, acting as a long-term accumulation zone. Large investors are continuing to stake Ethereum, even during the price correction, suggesting a long-term commitment. The current market structure resembles previous cycles that led to significant price increases. If Ethereum can regain the $3,100-$3,250 range, a move towards $3,800-$4,200 is possible.

The article identifies eight cryptocurrency exchanges that allow users to deposit and withdraw funds using PayPal. This functionality enables users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly through their PayPal accounts on these platforms. This provides an alternative to traditional banking methods for funding crypto transactions.

XRP is currently trading around $2.02, experiencing a nearly 7% drop in the last 24 hours, but holding above key support levels. Trading volume reached $3.8 billion during this period. Analysts are observing a Wyckoff reaccumulation pattern, suggesting a potential recovery and breakout if the support holds. One analyst identifies $2.05 as a crucial level aligned with previous highs and the 20-month exponential moving average at $1.94. Another analyst suggests a high probability of XRP reaching $13 within 3 to 6 months if the monthly chart maintains its upward trend. Recent selling pressure, primarily from Binance and OKX, resulted in the liquidation of many long positions, reportedly due to large sales by Chinese holders. Despite this, XRP-linked ETFs have seen over $660 million in net inflows.

Dogecoin's price has fallen below $0.15 amid a general downturn in the cryptocurrency market. The current price is testing the $0.10 level as a potential support point. The article highlights that the broader crypto market is experiencing a crash which has impacted Dogecoin's value significantly.

Michael Saylor, known for his company Strategy's large Bitcoin holdings, hinted at potential future Bitcoin purchases with a post referencing "green dots" on their portfolio chart, which investors interpreted as new buys. Strategy currently holds 649,870 Bitcoins, valued at nearly $60 billion, acquired through 87 separate transactions. The company's CEO, Phong Le, stated that selling Bitcoin would only occur in extreme circumstances, such as the market value dropping below net asset value and the inability to raise fresh capital. Strategy intends to meet its $750 to $800 million annual preferred-share dividend obligations by raising capital when its stock trades above NAV. Bitcoin recently experienced volatility, dropping below $86,000 after reaching highs above $126,000 in October, with other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum also declining. Despite market fluctuations, Strategy maintains a long-term approach to holding Bitcoin and has implemented a BTC Credit dashboard to show how they can service their liabilities even if Bitcoin trades around their average cost of $74,000.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a significant downturn, with its total value falling below $3 trillion. Bitcoin fell to around $38,000, Ethereum to $2,840, and other major cryptocurrencies like XRP, Cardano, Solana, and Dogecoin also saw declines. Privacy coin Zcash was particularly affected, dropping over 20%. This selloff resulted in over $640 million in futures positions being liquidated, primarily from long positions. The article attributes the crash to several factors including thin weekend trading liquidity, rising Japanese government bond yields, and concerns about potential regulatory actions targeting key crypto figures and businesses. The rise in Japanese yields increased borrowing costs, potentially impacting riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. Additionally, there are concerns about coordinated pressure, dubbed "Operation Chokepoint 3.0," on prominent individuals and companies in the crypto space, along with potential index removals for firms holding significant amounts of Bitcoin which added to market caution.

Dogecoin is showing signs of a potential breakout, according to some analysts who observe long-term price patterns. These patterns suggest that after a period of slow movement, Dogecoin could experience a rapid price increase, potentially reaching $1 or even $1.5 to $1.7. Technical analysis also indicates a bullish Cup and Handle pattern forming, often a precursor to a significant breakout. Key price levels to watch are $0.08 as support and $0.20 as the main resistance level that, if broken, could trigger a rally toward $0.80 or higher. For the first time, Dogecoin has ETF support from Grayscale's GDOG and Bitwise's GWOW, which have attracted nearly $2 million in early inflows, potentially boosting its price during a breakout.

JPMorgan and Strike CEO Jack Mallers have not responded to inquiries regarding a potential 'debanking' situation. This silence leaves unanswered questions about the financial relationship between JPMorgan and Strike, and whether Strike's access to banking services has been restricted. The lack of communication leaves uncertainty surrounding the situation.

AAVE's price is dropping significantly after failing to stay above $190, with both large investors (whales) and smaller traders selling off their holdings. One whale's actions indicate a loss of over $1.5 million, suggesting a negative outlook for AAVE. Retail traders are also contributing to the sell-off. If AAVE falls below $160, it could potentially drop to $155. To recover, AAVE needs to climb back above $178.

Nvidia is investing $2 billion in Synopsys stock to deepen their partnership, focusing on improving computing speed and AI chip design. The deal aims to accelerate design processes by moving heavy workloads to GPU-powered systems. Markets reacted positively with Synopsys shares rising 4% and Nvidia shares increasing 1%. Nvidia, which provides tools for training AI systems, and Synopsys, which sells chip design software, aim to improve the entire process from chip design to AI deployment. Nvidia's CEO highlighted the shift towards GPU-driven computing in the design and engineering sector. However, one analyst from Seaport maintains a sell rating on Nvidia, with a price target of $140, citing concerns about complex sales structures, unclear accounting patterns, and growing competition, including Google's in-house TPUs. Despite this, the majority of analysts have a positive outlook on Nvidia.

Yearn Finance, a platform for maximizing returns on cryptocurrency investments, experienced a security exploit that resulted in a loss of $9 million. The exploit targeted yETH, a token representing a collection of staked Ethereum assets. The Yearn Finance team confirmed the incident on X, stating that a large amount of yETH was improperly created from the yETH stableswap pool. A post-mortem report indicated the exploit was due to a combination of a numerical bug and a problem with managing invariants.

U.S. House lawmakers are expressing concerns about what they call "Choke Point 2.0," alleging that the government is improperly pressuring banks and other financial institutions to cut ties with or deny services to legitimate cryptocurrency businesses. These lawmakers believe this alleged pressure is harming the crypto industry by limiting its access to traditional financial services. Specific details of the grievances and the specific government actions causing concern are the focus of the lawmakers' complaints.

Hedera's value decreased significantly, dropping by 10% amid high trading activity. This decline has brought it to a critical price level where it may find support and potentially stabilize.

Bitcoin's price fell to around $86,000, a roughly 6% drop, continuing a decline from its October high. This drop is attributed to investors reducing their positions due to long liquidations, outflows from spot products, and economic concerns. The overall market sentiment is fearful, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index remaining in extreme fear territory. This environment is unfavorable for altcoins, as traders prefer liquidity and avoid risky investments. While MYX Finance and JUST showed some positive movement, driven by their specific features like restaking and TRON-based activity respectively, these were isolated gains. The overall market trend indicates a defensive stance, with a broad altcoin recovery unlikely in the current climate.

Bitfinex CTO Paolo Ardoino discusses the company's strategy to improve crypto options trading by building more robust infrastructure. This involves offering tools and features that professional traders are familiar with, such as volatility perpetuals, universal accounts, and risk-based margining. The goal is to create a more stable and efficient market by addressing issues like fragmentation and lack of access to sophisticated hedging instruments. Bitfinex has also relocated its derivatives business to El Salvador to benefit from a regulatory environment that supports crypto innovation, which helps in building the necessary infrastructure. By integrating with Thalex, Bitfinex aims to simplify access to options trading and reduce friction for traders. The focus is on providing a reliable trading environment to attract institutional investors and support the growth of the crypto derivatives market.

The crypto presale market is seeing activity in several projects. Noomez is attracting investors seeking stability due to its structured token design. Rollblock is nearing its exchange listing, driving last-minute token purchases. However, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is generating the most interest, with a daily auction of 200 million tokens. ZKP has a fully operational ecosystem from day one, including hardware distribution of Proof Pods costing $249 each. These pods can immediately start completing compute tasks for daily earnings. The ZKP auction resets daily, with a $50,000 limit per wallet to prevent large investors from dominating the supply. The early stage window is tightening fast.

XRP's price has decreased by 7.19% to $2.03 in the last 24 hours, despite high trading volume of over $4.19 billion. A technical indicator, the TD Sequential, suggests a potential buy signal on the weekly chart, historically indicating short-term price reversals. Institutional investment in XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has reached a record $243.95 million in the past week. Investors are closely watching the $2.40 resistance level and the $2.00 support level. Its price is highly correlated with Bitcoin, and future movements are largely affected by the Ripple vs. SEC legal case.

The crypto market is seeing mixed signals for Shiba Inu and Aptos. Shiba Inu is currently trading around $0.00001018, facing challenges in maintaining its support level, while Aptos is holding steady near $3.39 and showing resilience through rising app revenue. BlockDAG is standing out with a presale price of $0.0078 in Batch 33, and raising over $438 million. Market makers project its opening range between $0.38 and $0.43, anticipating a significant increase after the presale concludes on February 10th with 4.1 billion coins remaining. This positions BlockDAG as a potentially strong Layer 1 contender, drawing attention for its structured presale and projected market performance, contrasting with the more uncertain near-term outlook for Shiba Inu and the gradual recovery expected for Aptos.

Chainlink's LINK cryptocurrency experienced an 11% price decrease. This drop occurred despite news of a new ETF launch related to Chainlink. The price decline suggests negative technical factors are currently influencing LINK's market performance more strongly than the positive ETF news.

Tom Lee, known for his optimistic Bitcoin predictions, has adjusted his outlook, suggesting Bitcoin will likely stay above $100,000 rather than reaching previous higher forecasts. This shift is causing investors to explore altcoins, particularly those with practical uses beyond speculation. Projects like DeepSnitch AI, Cronos, and Solana are gaining attention for their utility. DeepSnitch AI, focused on AI-driven trading tools, has raised over $600,000 in its presale and increased in price by 64%. Regulatory challenges, especially in the EU, are impacting smaller crypto firms. Investors are diversifying their portfolios by allocating 20-30% to altcoins with strong fundamentals, while maintaining Bitcoin as a core holding. There's also a rise in crypto-based payrolls and stablecoin salaries.

Tom Lee, known for his optimistic Bitcoin predictions, has adjusted his forecast, suggesting Bitcoin will likely stay above $100,000 but not reach previous higher targets. This shift has led investors to look at alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) that offer practical uses. Projects like DeepSnitch AI, Cronos, and Solana are gaining attention for their utility. DeepSnitch AI, in particular, has raised over $600,000 in its presale and increased in price by 64%, offering AI-powered trading tools. Regulatory compliance, especially in Europe, poses challenges for smaller altcoin projects. Investors are now diversifying their portfolios by allocating 20-30% to altcoins with solid foundations while keeping Bitcoin as a core holding. The market is shifting toward cryptocurrencies that provide real-world value rather than just speculative opportunities.

Strategy has created a $1.44 billion U.S. dollar reserve to support dividend payments and interest obligations, aiming to improve liquidity amidst volatile crypto markets. The reserve was funded through stock sales and is intended to cover at least 12 months of dividend obligations, potentially extending to 24 months or more. Strategy currently holds 650,000 Bitcoin, representing about 3.1% of the eventual total supply. The company updated its 2025 financial outlook, projecting potential operating income losses of up to $7.0 billion or profits of up to $9.5 billion if Bitcoin's price falls between $85,000 and $110,000. They also expect Bitcoin yield to be between 22.0% and 26.0% for the year. Peter Schiff criticized the company's strategy, suggesting it indicates financial weakness due to reliance on stock sales to cover obligations.

Today, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to give a speech, with market participants closely watching for signals regarding the end of quantitative tightening (QT).

Grayscale is launching the first spot Chainlink ETF in the US this week, converting its existing Chainlink Trust into an ETF. The ETF will track Chainlink's spot price and staking rewards. Experts predict a surge in crypto ETF offerings, potentially exceeding 100 new ETFs in the next six months. Other companies like Bitwise also have Chainlink ETFs planned. This launch signifies growing institutional interest in Chainlink and follows approvals of other crypto ETFs this year.

Strategy CEO Phong Le stated the company might sell its Bitcoin holdings, currently worth around $55 billion (649,870 BTC), to fund dividend payments on preferred shares if their mNAV (market value of net assets) falls below 1. The company typically raises capital when its mNAV is above 1, but would consider selling Bitcoin if raising capital becomes impossible. Strategy's mNAV is currently at 1.19, but the MSTR stock is down over 40% YTD, raising concerns. Rumors of a past Bitcoin sale were denied, followed by a purchase of 8,178 BTC for $836 million. Michael Saylor hinted at another potential Bitcoin purchase, with the company's BTC portfolio tracker sparking speculation. Bitcoin's recent price drop below $90,000 and the possibility of Strategy's exclusion from MSCI indices contribute to a bearish outlook for the company. Bitcoin is currently trading around $86,000.

The cryptocurrency ICP experienced a price decline, falling below the $4.00 mark. This drop has led to increased price fluctuations for the cryptocurrency.

The cryptocurrency BONK experienced a 9% price decrease. This decline occurred despite the introduction of a new exchange-traded product (ETP) for BONK in Switzerland. The price drop is attributed to technical factors negatively impacting the cryptocurrency's market performance.

The price of Binance Coin (BNB) may increase because a Real World Asset (RWA) metric associated with it has significantly increased, specifically jumping 99%. Real World Assets are things like commodities or real estate that are being brought onto the blockchain. This increase in the RWA metric suggests growing activity or interest in these assets on the Binance platform, which could positively influence the price of BNB.

The Indian government has ordered smartphone manufacturers to pre-install its Sanchar Saathi cybersecurity app on all new devices sold in India within 90 days, starting November 28th. This affects major manufacturers like Apple, Samsung, Vivo, Oppo, and Xiaomi, who account for a large portion of India's over 1.2 billion mobile subscribers. The government states this is necessary to combat telecom cybersecurity threats like fake IMEI numbers used in scams. For phones already in the supply chain, the app must be added via software updates. Apple, in particular, may face challenges due to its policy against pre-installing third-party apps. The Sanchar Saathi app allows users to track and block stolen phones and disconnect fraudulent connections, having already recovered over 700,000 phones and blocked over 3.7 million stolen devices. Additionally, messaging apps like WhatsApp and Telegram must now maintain continuous SIM card verification, requiring users to re-authenticate every six hours for web-based versions, to prevent cyber fraud originating from outside the country. These messaging apps are now classified as Telecommunication Identifier User Entities and also have 90 days to comply.

Europol, along with law enforcement in Germany and Switzerland, has shut down Cryptomixer, a major crypto-mixing service, seizing $27 million in Bitcoin and 12 terabytes of user data. The service, operating since 2016, processed over $1.3 billion in Bitcoin linked to illegal activities like money laundering for ransomware groups and dark web markets. The takedown included seizing servers and control of the cryptomixer(dot)io domain. This action is part of the EU's efforts to combat money laundering in the crypto space, with new regulations coming that ban crypto-mixing services and anonymity-enhancing coins. This follows similar recent actions against other crypto mixers like Blender(dot)io, Sinbad(dot)io, and Samourai Wallet, and is part of a broader wave of digital crime enforcement actions by Europol, including dismantling a fake online account syndicate and the Archetyp Market on the dark web.

Bitcoin's recent drop below $86,000 is predicted to continue, potentially falling as low as $50,000 according to Bloomberg Intelligence analysts. This forecast is based on factors like normal market corrections and competition from other cryptocurrencies. The immediate cause of the recent drop is speculated to be linked to potential interest rate hikes by the Bank of Japan, impacting leveraged trading positions. Concerns around a rule change that could exclude certain companies holding cryptocurrency assets from major indexes is also adding to the selling pressure. If the market continues to decline, Bitcoin could test the $60,000 to $65,000 range, although this might attract institutional buyers. A key factor influencing Bitcoin's direction will be the Bank of Japan's policy decision in December; a rate hike could push Bitcoin down, while a pause could cause a price increase.

Solana (SOL) is showing strong market performance and analysts predict it may reach $500. Key support levels for Solana are around $137, $129, and $120, while resistance needs to be overcome at $152, $165, and $178 for it to reach its target. Despite Solana's potential, analysts suggest that Ozak AI (OZ), a new AI-focused crypto project, may have an even higher growth potential. Ozak AI has raised over $4.7 million in its presale, selling more than 1 million tokens. Ozak AI is focused on AI-powered trading, analytics, and automated systems, and is built on deep AI-native infrastructure that offers millisecond-speed AI prediction agents, cross-chain intelligence engines, and ultra-fast trading signals. Analysts believe Ozak AI's early-stage positioning and focus on AI could lead to higher returns compared to Solana.

The article discusses the risks and rewards of investing in crypto presales, which are early funding rounds where projects sell tokens before they're available on exchanges. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating factors like smart contract audits, tokenomics, liquidity locks, and the quality of the project's whitepaper to avoid scams. The article highlights several crypto presales to watch in December 2025, including Mono Protocol (MONO), currently in Stage 19 at $0.055 with $3.64M raised; Nexchain (NEX), at $0.116 in Stage 29 with $12.2M raised and a projected listing at $0.30; WeWake (WAKE), priced at $0.0340 in Stage 17 with $1.47M raised; and LivLive (LIVE), priced at $0.02 with $2.18M raised. It also mentions Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), Coldware (COLD), Jet Bolt (JET), and Little Pepe (PEPE) as other presales to consider, each with different utility profiles and risk levels. The article advises investors to carefully assess each project's transparency and development activity before investing, noting that none of these presales guarantee returns.

The market is strongly anticipating a Federal Reserve interest rate cut at the meeting next week, with expectations around 92%. This high probability is fueled by the absence of any dissenting comments from Fed policymakers and a lack of major economic data releases, like jobs or inflation figures, before the decision. The anticipated rate cut is expected to be the last one this year, potentially influencing market sentiment going into 2025. The markets are responding as expected.

Markets are strongly anticipating a Federal Reserve interest rate cut at next week's meeting, with a roughly 92% probability factored in. This expectation is fueled by the absence of any opposing comments from Fed officials and a lack of significant economic data releases, such as jobs or inflation figures, before the decision. The anticipated rate cut is expected to be the last one this year. The market's reaction will depend on the Feds communication regarding future monetary policy. Any indication of a more neutral stance from the Fed could impact the performance of stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies as we head into the new year.

Markets are overwhelmingly anticipating a Federal Reserve interest rate cut at their meeting next week, with a 92% probability priced in. This expectation is fueled by the silence from Fed policymakers leading up to their communication blackout period, which prevented any signals that might contradict the rate cut. The absence of major economic data releases, such as non-farm payrolls or CPI figures, further solidifies the likelihood of the cut. If implemented, this is expected to be the final rate reduction of the year, potentially influencing market sentiment as we approach 2025. The impact on assets like stocks, bonds, and cryptocurrencies will depend on the Fed's future policy outlook.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $90,000, causing concern in the crypto market. One analyst, Nik, suggests the drop wasn't due to specific bad news, but rather automated selling by algorithms at the end of the day, week, and month, alongside portfolio rebalancing. This selling triggered wider market reactions and retail investor panic. Another analyst, Doctor Profit, believes there isn't enough selling pressure yet for a major crash and anticipates a period of sideways trading between the current price and around $100,000. However, Doctor Profit expects a significant price decline in the long term, potentially reaching $70,000 to $75,000 by early 2026. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $85,800, a 5% decrease in the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin's price is currently at a critical point, facing resistance around $93,000 and needing to maintain support near $86,000 to continue its upward trend. If Bitcoin fails to hold the $86,000 level, it could fall towards $80,000 or even lower. Market data shows ongoing volatility with weak inflows into ETFs which might be impacting the price. Traders are watching these key levels closely to determine Bitcoin's short-term direction. A break above $93,000 could signal a bullish continuation, while a failure to hold $86,000 might lead to further price drops. Bitcoin was trading around $85,791.97, a 5.60% decrease in the last 24 hours.

The crypto market is seeing renewed activity. Shiba Inu's price increased by 4% and aims for a potential 94% surge. XRP rose by 7% due to new ETFs from Grayscale and Franklin Templeton, although indicators suggest it may be overbought. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) has partnerships with FC Barcelona and the Dolphins and has invested over $17 million in infrastructure, including Proof Pods. These pods allow users to earn rewards for verifying zero knowledge computations and are expected to generate around $1 daily from entry-level Level 1 Pod. ZKP is operational before its official launch, offering real-world utility through hardware-backed validator earnings and global partnerships.

The US government is investigating Bitmain, a Chinese company that makes most of the world's Bitcoin mining equipment, to see if their machines could be used for spying or disrupting the US power grid. This investigation, called Operation Red Sunset, involves several agencies and includes inspecting Bitmain shipments for hidden capabilities. Bitmain denies these allegations. The investigation raises concerns because many US Bitcoin miners rely on Bitmain equipment, including a new venture involving Donald Trump Jr. that plans to use 16,000 Bitmain rigs purchased for $314 million. If the US government restricts Bitmain, it could disrupt the supply of mining equipment, leading to delays, increased costs, and a shift towards alternative suppliers like MicroBT and Canaan. The government could choose to monitor Bitmain more closely, impose stricter regulations, or even ban their equipment, which would affect the growth of Bitcoin mining in the US.

Despite a significant downturn in the crypto market at the beginning of December, three altcoins are showing potential to reach new all-time highs in the coming week. Rain (RAIN) is currently trading at $0.0080, just 7% below its all-time high, and needs to establish $0.0079 as support to potentially reach $0.0100. Monero (XMR) is priced at $412, slightly below the $417 resistance level and 14% away from its all-time high, requiring it to turn the $450 resistance into support. Undead Games (UDS) is trading at $2.97, just below the $3.00 resistance, and needs to secure $3.20 as support to target its all-time high which is 16% higher.

David Sacks, who advises Trump on AI and crypto matters, is accusing The New York Times of publishing misleading information about him. Sacks claims the newspaper is falsely reporting that he has conflicts of interest due to his investments in tech and crypto companies. He says that he has already sold over $200 million in crypto assets and related stocks, including at least $85 million of his own holdings, before taking on his government role. However, The New York Times reports that Sacks still holds hundreds of tech investments, some tied to AI and crypto, which could potentially benefit from his policy decisions. Sacks has hired a law firm specializing in defamation and accuses The New York Times of ignoring facts and creating a false narrative. Some industry leaders, like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, are supporting Sacks, criticizing The New York Times for biased reporting.

Digital asset treasuries are leading a sell-off in crypto stocks. Bitcoin's price has dropped to $84,000, indicating a negative trend in the cryptocurrency market. This decline suggests that companies holding significant amounts of crypto assets are selling off their holdings, contributing to the overall downturn in the crypto market and related stocks.

Algorand's version of the USDC stablecoin is now integrated with Wirex and the Visa Card, making it accessible to over seven million users. This allows these users to hold, send, and spend USDC on the Algorand network at over 80 million merchants worldwide that accept Visa. Users can buy or move USDC in the Wirex app and spend it using their Visa Card. Algorand is known for its fast and low-cost transactions, which can significantly reduce transaction costs for stablecoin payments compared to traditional methods. Circle also minted approximately $8 billion USDC on the Solana network in November, bringing the total cumulative USDC minted on Solana in 2025 to $36.25 billion.

Bitcoin's price recently dropped, falling from above $91,000 to under $86,000. According to Glassnode, the dip in late November around the low $80,000s created a significant level where many Bitcoin were last moved, potentially acting as a price support. This drop caused nearly $200 billion to be wiped from the total crypto market value. Some analysts believe this recent drop mirrors patterns from 2020 and presents a buying opportunity below $90,000, while others express concern over large holders selling Bitcoin and ETF outflows. Bitcoin is currently trading around $86,000, down about 6% for the day and 22% over the past month.

Monad (MON), a recently launched cryptocurrency that raised $269 million in its initial offering, is facing significant price declines. Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, predicts MON could drop by 99%, citing its high valuation and token structure where insiders hold a large amount of the supply. Hayes suggests that as these locked tokens are released, insiders will sell them, further decreasing the price. This prediction came after Hayes announced he sold all his MON holdings. Monad's co-founder, Keone Hon, defends the project's technology, but Hayes insists the token's structure, including a roughly 1% monthly inflation due to staking rewards, will determine its fate. The price has already fallen 24% since launch, and it dropped below its initial price of $0.0288. Recent liquidations of large holders, including two whales losing $3.23 million, are contributing to the downward pressure and suggesting further price declines.

Bitwise has filed for a staking exchange-traded fund (ETF) that includes AVAX, the cryptocurrency associated with the Avalanche blockchain. The filing has led to speculation about a potential price rebound for AVAX. The article focuses on the possible impact of this ETF application on AVAX's market value.

Spar, a major supermarket chain in Switzerland, now accepts Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for payments at all of its stores nationwide. Customers can use the new Spar mobile application to pay with over 100 different cryptocurrencies.

The article discusses the potential impact of a U.S. spot Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) launch on the price of Chainlink (LINK). The central focus is whether the introduction of a spot ETF could drive Chainlink's price up to $20. The article does not confirm any specific price movements, but instead poses the question as a possibility dependent on the ETF's approval and subsequent market activity.

Bitmine Immersion, a company backed by Tom Lee, increased its Ethereum holdings by 96,798 ETH, worth $273 million, bringing its total Ethereum stash to 3,726,499 ETH, valued at $11.52 billion. This makes them the second-largest crypto treasury globally, only behind Michael Saylor's Strategy. However, the company's stock, BMNR, fell 8% to $30.44, because Ethereum price decreased 8% to below $2,800. The company holds 192 BTC and $882 million in cash. Crypto analysts are becoming extremely negative on Ethereum, suggesting that the cryptocurrency price could fall to $2,500 if it fails to rebound to above $3,000.

Peter Brandt, a market veteran, has indicated that Bitcoin has the potential to fall by 75% in value. This projection is based on historical data and follows Bitcoin's recent drop below $90,000.

Strategy Inc, a company known for its large Bitcoin holdings, has created a $1.44 billion US Dollar Reserve. The company states the reserve will ensure they can cover dividend payments on preferred stock and interest payments on debt for at least 12 months, with plans to expand it later. The reserve was funded by selling new shares of Strategy Inc stock. Michael Saylor, from Strategy Inc, views this as a step to strengthen the company's long-term vision. Peter Schiff, a known critic of Bitcoin, claims this move proves Strategy Inc's Bitcoin-based business model is failing and that the company is struggling. He argues that Strategy Inc. is selling stock to cover obligations, rather than to buy more Bitcoin, indicating financial strain. The market is now observing whether this is a good strategy shift for risk management, or a sign of trouble for Strategy Inc.

MicroStrategy has established a $1.44 billion USD reserve designed to cover dividends and interest for up to 21 months, while also increasing its Bitcoin holdings to 650,000 BTC. The company acquired an additional 130 BTC for approximately $11.7 million, at an average price of $89,960 per bitcoin, bringing their total investment to roughly $48.38 billion, with an average purchase price of $74,436 per bitcoin. Despite framing this as a strategic move for stability, MicroStrategy's CEO acknowledged a potential scenario where they might sell Bitcoin if their stock trades below 1.0x mNAV and they cannot raise capital through equity or debt. Concerns have arisen due to MicroStrategy essentially functioning as a leveraged Bitcoin ETF, making it vulnerable during periods of tightening liquidity. Other crypto news includes crypto funds seeing $1.07 billion in inflows, Ripple gaining approval in Singapore, and liquidations occurring due to Japan's bond shock. Several US economic events are also expected to impact Bitcoin sentiment in the near future.

Dogecoin's price saw a slight increase after the launch of the first Dogecoin spot ETF in the US, trading around $0.148, up nearly 2%. Large Dogecoin holders have increased their holdings, suggesting potential bullish momentum. However, Dogecoin needs to break through the $0.18 resistance level to rally further, with a long-term goal of reaching $1 if ETF inflows remain strong. Meanwhile, Remittix (RTX) is gaining traction with its focus on utility, launching its wallet on the Apple App Store, completing a CertiK audit, and securing listings on BitMart and LBank. Remittix has raised over $28.3 million and sold over 687 million RTX. The company is also offering a 200% Black Friday bonus for a limited time. Analysts are noting Remittix for its crypto-to-fiat payment utility and early progress compared to Dogecoin's hype-driven market presence.

European authorities have seized CryptoMixer, a Bitcoin-mixing service, and approximately $1.51 billion worth of cryptocurrency. Bitcoin-mixing services are often used to obscure the origin and destination of cryptocurrency transactions, which can facilitate illicit activities. The shutdown of this service signals a continued crackdown on cryptocurrency platforms that enable money laundering and other illegal activities.

Bitcoin's recent price drop below $86,800 to a low of $84,756 has traders wondering if large Bitcoin holders, known as whales, are buying the dip. On-chain data suggests that whales aren't panic selling, but are selectively accumulating Bitcoin. Whale cost-basis clusters, indicating where they previously bought large amounts of Bitcoin, are concentrated between $83,000 and $88,000. A new cluster is forming near the recent lows, suggesting whales may be starting to buy again. The number of addresses holding over 1000 Bitcoin stabilized after a drop, and an increase in their holdings could signal a strong price recovery. If whales continue accumulating, Bitcoin may be forming a bottom. Bitcoin's price action shows bearish pressure with lower highs and lows, and it may drop to around $82,918. A significant influx of liquidity is indicated, and the price is preparing for a big move. The Bitcoin bull run may only resume with strong whale accumulation and bullish activity.

The price of Sei (SEI) is currently struggling as market momentum weakens. Open interest, which reflects participation in derivatives trading, is declining, indicating less speculative activity. After a sharp price drop from around $0.14, SEI is trading around $0.1284, down 6.35%. It's having difficulty breaking above the $0.135-$0.14 range, which has now become a resistance level. Market capitalization is at $875.07 million, with a trading volume of $46.08 million. Technical indicators like MACD and Chaikin Money Flow suggest continued downward pressure, highlighting a cautious outlook for SEI as it struggles to attract buyers.

Tom Lees BitMine has acquired 96,798 ETH in advance of the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade. This indicates a significant investment in Ethereum by the company.

SoftBank's CEO Masayoshi Son expressed regret over selling the company's Nvidia shares in October, citing the need for funds to invest in OpenAI and other AI ventures. The sale of 32.1 million Nvidia shares generated $5.8 billion, contributing to SoftBank's increased profits. The company is making a large bet on AI and has committed to invest significantly in OpenAI, potentially up to $34.7 billion by the end of December. To finance this, SoftBank has been selling assets like T-Mobile stock ($9.17 billion) and issuing bonds, and expanding loans. OpenAI's valuation has surged, making it one of the world's most valuable private companies, and the investment is being used to build massive data centers.

Recent social media predictions that XRP would reach $100 by 2025 are unrealistic due to market capitalization requirements. Analysts say for XRP to hit $100, its market cap would need to reach approximately $6 trillion, far exceeding Bitcoin's current $1.7 trillion valuation and the total crypto market cap of about $3 trillion. Currently, XRP's market cap is around $122 billion. XRP's price is currently weakening and is trading near $2, with potential to fall to the $1.8-$1.9 range in December, a nearly 20% decrease over the past month.

BlockchainFX is highlighted as a promising crypto investment due to its ongoing presale, which has already raised over $11.6 million from more than 18,700 participants. The presale price is $0.03 per token, with a planned launch price of $0.05, and analysts predict a potential rise to $5 post-launch. A limited-time bonus code, CYBER50, gives buyers an additional 50% in tokens. BlockchainFX has also obtained an international trading license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority. The platform aims to provide access to various markets, including crypto, stocks, forex, and commodities, through a single interface, redistributing up to 70% of trading fees to users. Meanwhile, Toncoin is down 2% at $1.58, and Bitcoin Cash has decreased by 1% to $534.73, both experiencing increased trading volume, indicating selling activity.

Over $218 million worth of cryptocurrency tokens will be released into the open market in the first week of December. These unlocks, where previously restricted tokens become available for trading, can impact token prices due to increased supply. Two notable one-time unlocks, each exceeding $5 million, are scheduled for ENA and EIGEN tokens. Additionally, several tokens including SOL, TRUMP, WLD, DOGE, ASTER, and AVAX will experience daily linear unlocks, releasing over $1 million worth of tokens each day. These linear unlocks distribute tokens gradually, creating a steady increase in supply. While unlocks can influence prices, the ultimate impact depends on demand, community support, and project development.

Airbus stock experienced a drop of over 5% following the announcement of a software issue affecting approximately 6,000 A320-family aircraft. The issue, caused by solar radiation potentially corrupting flight control data, was discovered after a JetBlue flight experienced an unexpected pitch down. While most affected planes require a simple software rollback, around 15% necessitate hardware replacements. Airlines globally responded quickly, with the majority completing the updates, although some flight cancellations occurred during the fix rollout. Additionally, a separate quality concern involving fuselage panels on several dozen A320 jets has emerged, potentially delaying deliveries. Despite these issues, Airbus has not revised its full-year 2025 delivery guidance.

Canada is considering implementing regulations specifically for stablecoins. This move comes as Scotiabank has released a report suggesting that the current impact of stablecoins on the broader market is limited. The impending regulations could affect how stablecoins operate within Canada and potentially impact their adoption and usage by individuals and businesses in the country.

Nvidia invested $2 billion in Synopsys, a company that makes software for designing computer chips and other complex systems. Nvidia bought the shares at $414.79 each, a slight discount from the previous closing price. The goal is to develop AI-powered tools that will make the design process faster and more efficient for various industries like semiconductors, robotics, and healthcare. Synopsys will use Nvidia's technology to improve its software for chip design and other applications. This partnership is not exclusive, meaning both companies will continue to work with other companies in the industry. Synopsys shares increased by 7% in premarket trading, while Nvidia shares decreased by almost 2% after the announcement.

A Ripple employee, Luke Judges, who previously built startups and ran a validator in the Solana ecosystem, suggests that other Layer 1 blockchains like XRP can learn from Solana's speed and practicality. Western Union plans to launch its USDPT stablecoin on Solana in 2026 for cross-border remittances, and PayPal has already migrated its stablecoin to Solana. Solana spot ETFs experienced roughly $419.38 million in net inflows in November. However, the price of Solana has been decreasing, approaching $100, a price not seen since April 2025. If Solana fails to hold the $125-$130 support level, it could drop below $120 and potentially reach $110, a new yearly low. A project called Bitcoin Hyper is building a Bitcoin Layer 2 using Solana Virtual Machine, and its presale has already raised over $28.8 million.

Strategy, formerly known as MicroStrategy, purchased an additional 130 Bitcoin for $11.7 million, at an average price of $89,960 per coin. This brings their total Bitcoin holdings to 650,000, valued at $48.38 billion with an average purchase price of $74,436 per Bitcoin. The purchase occurred as Bitcoin's price dipped below $90,000 and the crypto market experienced a surge in fear, indicated by a low score on the Fear and Greed Index. Despite this market downturn and a over 5% drop in Strategy's stock price (MSTR), the company reiterated its commitment to continue accumulating Bitcoin long-term. The company noted a 27.8% year-to-date Bitcoin yield.

Ken Griffin's Citadel reduced its stake in Palantir Technologies by 32% during the third quarter of 2025, selling 224,152 shares. This occurred after a significant rise in Palantir's stock price over the previous three years. Griffin expressed concerns about current market conditions, citing policies resembling those used during recessions and artificial market support. Palantir reported strong Q3 results, with revenue reaching $1.18 billion, a 63% increase year-over-year, and earnings per share exceeding estimates. Despite these results, the stock has decreased 20% from its November high. Most billionaire investors, including Warren Buffett, Bill Ackman, and Stanley Druckenmiller, have never invested in Palantir. The stock's high valuation, trading at 164 times forward earnings and 63 times projected 2026 sales, is a key reason for investor caution. Analyst ratings are divided, with 3 Buy, 11 Hold, and 2 Sell ratings.

While Bitcoin experienced a significant drop in November, the crypto project Digitap ($TAP) saw its presale reach new highs, driven by its "96 Hours of Madness" Black Friday campaign. Digitap offers an app that allows users to manage money, crypto, and fiat with fast transfers and conversions, similar to a Visa card. The $TAP token presale has progressed through multiple stages, increasing in price from $0.0125 to $0.0334, with a future price increase planned. Over 136 million $TAP tokens have been sold, raising over $2.24 million. The Black Friday campaign featured hourly deals, creating anticipation and driving investor interest. The confirmed launch price for $TAP is $0.14.

Crypto exchange Upbit experienced a $36 million hack involving Solana tokens, but assured users their funds were safe, covering the loss from its own reserves, similar to a past $50 million Ethereum hack. This highlights the industry practice of exchanges using various forms of 'hot wallet insurance' to protect users from platform breaches. These include self-insurance from company funds, dedicated emergency funds like Binance's SAFU, and third-party insurance policies. While users typically don't lose funds, hacks can still disrupt markets by freezing withdrawals, decreasing liquidity, and causing price volatility. These insurance models shift the burden of loss from users to the exchange, speeding up the recovery process. However, coverage is limited and may not cover all types of losses, and it doesn't prevent short-term market instability. Exchanges like Crypto.com also use a mix of self-insurance and third-party coverage. Binance maintains a Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), funded by trading fees, to cover major hacks. Hot wallet insurance for crypto exchanges is a growing market projected to reach $12 billion by 2033.

Peter Schiff has predicted the beginning of the end for MicroStrategy (MSTR). This prediction comes as MicroStrategy is taking steps to alleviate concerns about potential Bitcoin sell-offs. The company has established a $1.44 billion reserve. This strategy aims to reassure investors and the market regarding MicroStrategy's financial stability in relation to its Bitcoin holdings.
