A cryptocurrency expert is advising investors to sell their Bitcoin, Ethereum, ZCash, and Dogecoin in order to buy XRP. The expert believes XRP will outperform other cryptocurrencies during a general market increase, citing higher demand and unique market factors.

A boycott of JPMorgan is gaining traction online as users close accounts, alleging the bank is attacking Bitcoin and MicroStrategy (MSTR) shareholders. This follows news that MSCI may remove crypto treasury firms like MicroStrategy from its indexes in 2026, a move JPMorgan had previously flagged that could cause outflows of $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion. Some speculate JPMorgan holds a short position in MSTR. The boycott also stems from renewed scrutiny of JPMorgan's ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Unsealed documents show the bank filed a suspicious activity report in 2019 after Epstein's death, detailing over $1 billion in transactions. However, a Senate analysis claims JPMorgan previously downplayed red flags, reporting only $4.3 million in suspicious transactions while Epstein was alive, compared to nearly $1.3 billion reported posthumously. The bank now faces growing pressure from the boycott, regulatory investigations, and the potential MSCI reclassification.

South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is preparing to issue sanctions against several crypto exchanges for failing to properly follow anti-money laundering (AML) laws. The inspections focused on whether the exchanges were correctly identifying their customers (KYC) and reporting suspicious transactions. Upbit's operator, Dunamu, has already been sanctioned with a 35.2 billion won fine and a three-month suspension of some services. Legal reviews and committee meetings are happening for other exchanges like Korbit, GOPAX, Bithumb, and Coinone, with penalties expected to follow the order in which they were inspected. The regulatory actions are expected to continue into mid-2026, overlapping with delays in the implementation of South Korea's crypto tax regime.

XRP has rebounded from the $1.75-$1.85 support level, where 1.80 billion XRP tokens were previously accumulated. This bounce has formed a bullish Morning Star pattern on the daily chart. Despite a decrease in trading volume, on-chain data suggests a potential end to the recent downtrend. Exchange reserves of XRP on Binance have decreased by 3 million tokens, indicating accumulation by investors. There are significant liquidation levels around $2.006 and $2.072, which could trigger rapid price movements if either level is breached. For a confirmed bullish reversal, XRP needs to maintain above $1.85 and break through $2.07.

MicroStrategy, a company known for holding a large amount of Bitcoin, is facing scrutiny as the price of Bitcoin recently fell. Economist Peter Schiff has questioned the company's strategy of issuing shares to buy Bitcoin, suggesting it may not be sustainable. Schiff argues that if Bitcoin's price drops significantly, MicroStrategy's investors could face substantial losses, potentially triggering a sell-off of the company's stock. MicroStrategy has defended its position, stating it has sufficient resources to cover its obligations even if Bitcoin's price remains stable. Currently, MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings are still profitable, with gains exceeding $5 billion.

On November 24, 2025, South Korea's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) is preparing to penalize major crypto exchanges Korbit, Gopax, Bithumb, and Coinone. These penalties are anticipated to be similar to the fine levied against Dunamu (Upbit operator) which was 35.2 billion KRW (approximately $24.35 million). Enforcement actions are expected to conclude by mid-2026. Simultaneously, financial markets are fluctuating in their expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut. Confidence in a rate cut declined recently, but has started to increase again. This shift towards expecting a rate cut is considered a positive factor for Bitcoin and the wider cryptocurrency market.

Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, stated that Bitcoin's enduring strength is due to the financial freedom it provides to users. He emphasized that individuals value the control Bitcoin offers over their money, free from external interference. Bitcoin allows independent wealth management, bypassing traditional institutions, and providing users with privacy and financial autonomy. This autonomy contributes to Bitcoin's reliability as a long-term financial solution.

Pi Coin is showing signs of a potential price breakout after being stuck in a pattern for several days. Indicators suggest investors are putting money into Pi Coin, showing confidence in a price increase. Another indicator shows increasing bullish momentum, which could lead to a sharp price move. Currently trading around $0.241, a successful breakout could push the price above $0.250, potentially reaching $0.260 or even $0.272. However, if investment weakens or momentum slows, the price could fall to $0.224 or $0.217.

Dogecoin (DOGE) outperformed major, more established cryptocurrencies, sometimes called 'blue chips.' This occurred alongside news that a prominent DOGE community member, known as D.O.G.E., announced they were stepping away from their active role.

Ethereum's price is showing signs of recovery, currently trading around $2,841.07, a 4.52% increase in the last 24 hours. BITMINE, a company with existing digital asset holdings, recently purchased 21,537 ETH, worth approximately $59.17 million. This investment signals confidence in Ethereum's long-term prospects. Ethereum is currently testing the $2,800 support level, with stronger support at $2,450. Technical indicators are mixed, with the RSI hinting at a potential reversal but the MACD still favoring sellers. A successful break above $2,800 could lead to a move towards the $4,250 resistance level, which has been a challenge for Ethereum to overcome. Failure to hold the $2,800 support could result in a drop towards the $2,450 level.

Pump.fun, a Solana-based platform for launching meme coins, has withdrawn $436.5 million USDC since October 15th. On-chain data shows $405 million USDC was moved into Kraken exchange in the last week alone, while $466 million USDC was transferred from Kraken to Circle. This activity is thought to be a withdrawal of proceeds from the platform's June private sale of its PUMP tokens. The platform also sold over 4 million Solana tokens between May 2024 and August 2025. The community has reacted negatively to the withdrawals. The price of Pump.fun's native token, PUMP, has declined significantly, dropping 24% in one week. The token is now trading at $0.0026, lower than its initial private sale price of $0.004. The launch of a new AI-driven feature called Mayhem Mode has not meaningfully boosted activity on the platform.

Bitcoin ETFs, particularly BlackRock's IBIT, have experienced a surge in trading activity, reaching a record $40 billion in total volume. This increase suggests growing acceptance and participation from institutional investors within the Bitcoin market. The significant trading volume reflects a major shift as institutions increasingly allocate capital to these newly available investment vehicles.

The U.S. government's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), created in January during Trump's second term to reduce government waste, shut down eight months earlier than planned. The initiative was heavily promoted by Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with DOGE claiming tens of billions in federal spending savings, although these claims lacked public verification. Following a fallout with Trump, Musk distanced himself from the project. Although DOGE is no longer operating as a separate unit, its responsibilities have been absorbed by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and many key figures have moved into other government agencies. The shutdown has raised concerns about contract cuts and foreign aid reductions, leading to political backlash. The news has affected the crypto market, bringing attention back to Dogecoin and creating potential short-term volatility.

South Korea's financial regulator, the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), is preparing to penalize several major cryptocurrency exchanges, including Korbit, Gopax, Bithumb, and Coinone, for failing to comply with anti-money laundering (AML) regulations. These penalties will include institutional and personal sanctions, as well as fines. The FIU is processing cases based on the order of their on-site inspections, following a similar process to the one used against Dunamu, the operator of Upbit. Dunamu received a disciplinary warning for its CEO, a three-month suspension on new customer deposits and withdrawals, and a fine of 35.2 billion won. The fines for the other exchanges could reach hundreds of billions of won in total, depending on the severity of the violations. The FIU expects to wrap up most of these actions by the first half of next year. This enforcement drive occurs as South Korea faces uncertainty over its crypto tax regime, with potential delays to the scheduled Jan. 2027 implementation date.

Bitcoin's price has increased following a report by Barclays Research suggesting that Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, might consider another interest rate cut. This possibility of a rate cut appears to be positively influencing Bitcoin's market value. The Barclays research indicates a potential shift in monetary policy that could be beneficial for Bitcoin.

Solana (SOL) has begun to recover, rising above $125 and currently trading above $130. It faces resistance around $135 and $140. A successful break above $145 could lead to further gains towards $155 and potentially $162. If Solana fails to surpass $135, it may decline, with initial support around $130 and further support at $127 and $124. A drop below $124 could push the price towards $120.

The cryptocurrency market has experienced a downturn, but interest is growing in certain altcoins with strong fundamentals. Chainlink (LINK) is highlighted for its role in providing data for Real World Assets (RWAs) like tokenized bonds and real estate, despite a price drop. Bittensor (TAO), a decentralized AI network supporting over one hundred AI subnets, is also noted as a potential long-term investment in the AI sector. Aave (AAVE), a leading decentralized lending platform, is recognized for its compliance efforts and its position in the DeFi space, with its recent price decrease presenting a possible buying opportunity.

The article discusses whether Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH) is more likely to help investors achieve their wealth goals by 2030, specifically focusing on which crypto has a higher probability of increasing tenfold in value. Bitcoin has been responsible for creating an estimated 145,100 millionaires and has grown at roughly 50% CAGR between 2017 and 2025, and some analysts project it could reach $1 million per coin. Ethereum's growth has been around 33% CAGR, with targets around $20,000. Although slower growth is expected for both, Bitcoin is presented as the stronger primary bet due to its history and potential for a 10x increase, while Ethereum could be a good complement due to its high upside. While acknowledging potential slowdowns in growth for both, the article highlights Bitcoin's existing track record and potential for further growth, suggesting it's currently the more reliable option for creating wealth, although Ethereum also presents a substantial opportunity for investors willing to handle volatility.

Dogecoin is expected to have a significant week because Grayscale is launching a Dogecoin ETF today. This means investors can now invest in Dogecoin through a traditional investment vehicle, potentially increasing demand and trading activity for the cryptocurrency.

Malaysia's electric utility company, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), has lost over $1 billion in the last four years due to electricity theft related to cryptocurrency mining. Since 2020, nearly 14,000 locations have been found illegally tapping into the power grid to run mining equipment undetected, costing RM4.6 billion. Authorities are stepping up enforcement by allowing TNB and other agencies to seize mining rigs and have created a database to monitor suspicious electricity usage. They are also installing smart meters to detect power manipulation early. In August, seven individuals were arrested for running illegal Bitcoin mining operations, and 52 mining rigs were seized. Similar incidents have been reported in Sarawak, where significant electricity theft by mining operators was discovered.

Each video will have a landing page explaining the features and milestones of Bitget's products. Bitget serves over 120 million users and offers access to crypto tokens, tokenized stocks, ETFs and other assets. Bitget is the official crypto partner of LALIGA and has partnered with UNICEF to support blockchain education.

XRP's price, after falling below $2.00 to a low of $1.8177, is currently attempting a recovery. It's now trading above $2.00 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average, having broken a bearish trend line at $2.00. A key level to watch is $2.150; if XRP can close above this, it could rise towards $2.20, with further resistance at $2.250, potentially leading to $2.320 or even $2.350. However, if XRP fails to break above $2.150, it could decline again, with support levels around $2.00 and $1.980. A break below $1.980 might trigger a further drop towards $1.880 or even $1.8450. Technical indicators like the Hourly MACD and RSI are currently showing bullish momentum.

On November 24, 2025, the crypto market experienced a slight recovery, with Bitcoin's price increasing to over $87,000 after falling to around $80,000. This improvement in the market was influenced by comments from Federal Reserve officials suggesting potential interest rate cuts and optimism regarding the impact of AI on the economy. Different sectors within the crypto market performed differently, with PayFi showing the strongest gain at 2.44%, followed by TEL and XLM. RWA, DeFi, Meme, and Layer 1 sectors also saw small gains, while CeFi and Layer 2 sectors declined slightly. Despite this positive trend, analysts caution that the market remains unstable. They point out that various market indicators suggest the potential for significant changes, with traders actively managing risk in a market characterized by conflicting forces between those selling out of fear and those buying in hopes of profiting.

Asian markets opened with Bitcoin rising above $87,000 and stocks gaining momentum due to increased expectations of the Federal Reserve potentially cutting interest rates in December. This optimism stems from recent comments by a Fed official suggesting rates could fall soon, leading investors to increase their risk exposure. Market snapshots show Ether up 1.1% at $2,854 and XRP up 2.6% at $2.08, with the total crypto market capitalization increasing by 0.9% to $3.06 trillion. However, trading volumes were muted due to a holiday in Japan. While most Asian markets saw gains, Chinese stocks underperformed due to concerns about potential US policy changes regarding chip sales to China. Oil prices decreased amidst talks of a potential peace deal between the US and Ukraine which could ease supply pressures. Investors are now watching upcoming US economic data releases to see if the risk appetite will continue pushing Bitcoin higher.

Forward Industries, a company holding over 1% of all Solana tokens, is currently facing a $668 million unrealized loss due to Solana's price decline. The company holds 6,910,568 SOL, purchased at an average price of $230 per token, now worth significantly less. Roughly 80% of all Solana tokens are currently held at a loss. While the company did move a large amount of Solana recently, it was determined to be a portfolio management activity as the tokens were returned to their staking account. This situation contrasts sharply with other companies holding Bitcoin which are seeing profits, and those holding Ethereum that are seeing losses. Open interest in Solana futures is steady, suggesting the market is in a consolidation phase and traders are awaiting a catalyst for a rebound. Forward Industries is still committed to its Solana strategy.

Ethereum's price has recently fallen, failing to maintain a level above $2,800 and dipping to $2,620. It's currently trying to recover but faces resistance around $2,890. A bearish trend line is forming with resistance at $2,960. If Ethereum can break above $2,960, it could move towards $3,020 and potentially higher to $3,120 or $3,250. However, if it fails to surpass the $2,890 resistance, it could decline again, with initial support around $2,800 and major support near $2,720. A drop below $2,720 might lead to further losses towards $2,650 or even $2,620.

XRP's price is reacting to the launch of XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) by Grayscale and Franklin Templeton. The launch of these ETFs is expected to bring more money into XRP, boost confidence from big investors, and change XRP's long-term price. Franklin Templeton, managing over $1.5 trillion, is starting with a small XRP investment, but the effect could be bigger than expected. An expert estimates their initial investment could lead to roughly 15 million XRP being acquired. This could increase the ETF share value and attract more investors. XRP is up nearly 3% in 24 hours, trading around $2.08, exceeding Bitcoin's gains. Technical analysts predict that XRP is in position for a larger breakout, potentially reaching prices between $27 and $67 as ETF demand and institutional interest grow.

The Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index, which measures the difference between Bitcoin prices on the US-based Coinbase exchange and Binance, has been negative for 21 days straight. This is the longest negative streak in the current market cycle. This prolonged negative premium suggests that US institutional investors are selling more Bitcoin than they are buying. This selling pressure is preventing Bitcoin's price from establishing a firm bottom. Historically, Bitcoin price rebounds often occur when this premium returns to a neutral or positive value. Some analysts point out that the premium tends to rise on weekends when US institutional selling pauses, but the overall weekday trend remains negative due to their activity. The negative premium suggests caution is warranted for Bitcoin traders until the trend reverses and institutional selling subsides.

Bitcoin's price experienced another drop, falling below $88,000, but is currently attempting a recovery. It faces potential resistance around $89,500. A bearish trend line is forming near this resistance level. If Bitcoin fails to overcome this resistance, it could decline further, potentially testing support levels at $86,500, $85,000, $83,500, $82,500 and eventually $80,000. Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks above $89,500 and then $90,000, it could rally towards $92,500, $93,200, $94,500 and $95,000. Technical indicators such as the MACD show a slowing bearish trend, and the RSI is above 50.

Hong Kong is set to issue its first stablecoin licenses in early 2026, with approximately 80 companies expressing interest. However, only a select few are expected to receive approval. Hong Kong's regulations require stablecoin reserves to be backed by High Quality Liquid Assets. This initiative follows the collapse of unlicensed crypto platform JPEX, which allegedly defrauded Hong Kong investors of $166 million. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) will oversee stablecoin licensing, reserve management, custody, redemption, and distribution. A Stablecoin Review Tribunal will be created to address disputes. Issuers must maintain sufficient liquid assets to redeem stablecoins at full value on demand. Hong Kong is pursuing tokenization, with initiatives like the HKMA's Fintech 2030 strategy and EnsembleTX pilot. However, challenges remain in building market infrastructure for tokenized securities and ensuring interoperability between blockchains. Regulators are restricting stablecoins to preapproved users and wallets.

Bitcoin's privacy features are under increased scrutiny, prompting some investors to consider Zcash. VanEck's CEO highlighted concerns about Bitcoin's transparency, noting a shift in focus within the Bitcoin community toward privacy. This has led to increased interest in Zcash, a cryptocurrency that offers stronger privacy features using zero-knowledge proofs. Zcash has experienced a significant surge, rising 930% this year and reaching a market capitalization of $9.43 billion, elevating it to become a top-15 cryptocurrency. OKX's decision to relist Zcash has further fueled its momentum. Concerns about quantum computing's potential to compromise Bitcoin's cryptography, voiced by figures like Vitalik Buterin, are also contributing to the shift toward privacy-focused alternatives like Zcash.

Michael Saylor, Chairman of MicroStrategy, remains optimistic about Bitcoin despite a downturn in the Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) market where many companies are struggling. MicroStrategy's stock is down 41% this year, but Saylor highlights the company's $6.1 billion in unrealized Bitcoin profits. He views Bitcoin's volatility as a positive attribute, calling it 'Satoshis gift' that creates opportunities for skilled investors. Saylor dismisses concerns about potential removal from major indices and insists that investors should have a long-term investment horizon of at least four to ten years. He downplays fears of liquidation, pointing out that MicroStrategy's dividend obligations are minimal compared to Bitcoin's daily trading volume. MicroStrategy recently purchased $830 million worth of Bitcoin and Saylor claims they have capital for the next 70 years. He believes the current market turmoil is temporary and remains confident in Bitcoin's future, contrasting MicroStrategy's position with that of competitors like FG Nexus and BitMine, who are facing significant losses and asset sales.

Citi's wealth-management division remains cautiously optimistic about the tech sector's long-term potential despite recent market declines. The S&P 500 is down approximately 2% this month, with AI stocks facing scrutiny and tech giants like Nvidia, Microsoft, and Amazon experiencing drops. Citi Wealth is experiencing growth, with client investments increasing by 14% year-over-year and inflows reaching $37.1 billion in the first nine months of the year. Clients are increasingly using investment products like structured notes to mitigate losses in the uncertain market. The bank is focusing on wealth management and aims to integrate its U.S. retail banking division with its wealth division, under the leadership of Kate Luft reporting to Andy Sieg. Citi is also undergoing a cost-reduction plan involving 20,000 job cuts. An investigation into Andy Sieg's management style concluded without impeding the division's growth.

The Bitcoin community is protesting JP Morgan due to a leaked plan by MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International) to potentially remove crypto treasury firms from its indexes starting in January 2026. JP Morgan reportedly shared this information in a research note. The concern is that MSCI's decision, as a major index provider, could force funds and asset managers to automatically sell shares of affected companies like Strategy, potentially hurting the cryptocurrency market. One real estate investor, Grant Cardone, even claimed he had trouble withdrawing $20 million from JP Morgan and plans to sue. Michael Saylor, Strategy's executive chairman, argued that his company is not a simple holding firm. The proposed MSCI rule change would require treasury companies with over 50% of their balance sheet in cryptocurrency to either reduce their crypto holdings or lose index status and associated passive investment. Strategy was added to the Nasdaq 100 in December 2024.

India and Canada are restarting trade talks after a nearly two-year pause due to diplomatic tensions. Prime Ministers Modi and Carney agreed to resume negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the goal of increasing bilateral trade to $70 billion by 2030, a significant jump from the current $22 billion. The renewed discussions will focus on sectors like education, agriculture, clean energy, civil nuclear technology, and skilled worker mobility, all of which have implications for international trade and investment. Both countries aim to reduce friction in visa processes, increase cooperation on food security, and promote the exchange of clean energy expertise and technology. Easing tensions could allow nuclear cooperation to move forward, and both governments are exploring ways to facilitate easier work arrangements. Officials expect restored relations will lead to greater opportunities and more predictable trade rules.

South Korea's top cryptocurrency exchange, Upbit, operated by Dunamu, is expected to merge with Naver Financial, a major payment platform owned by tech giant Naver. The boards of both companies are scheduled to approve the merger on November 26, with a public announcement planned for November 27. The merger will involve a stock exchange, making Dunamu a wholly owned subsidiary of Naver Financial, with estimates valuing Naver Financial at KRW 5 trillion and Dunamu at KRW 15 trillion, suggesting a 1:3 share exchange ratio. Dunamu's shareholders are expected to receive shares in Naver Financial, with principal holders potentially owning nearly 30% of the combined company. Regulatory approvals from South Korea's Financial Supervisory Service and Fair Trade Commission are required, focusing on financial risk, shareholder protection, and market competition. Naver's stake will decrease from 69% to 17%, but operational control will remain with Naver. The goal is to create a comprehensive financial ecosystem and compete with global tech giants, with Naver potentially accelerating crypto adoption and Dunamu boosting Naver Financial's edge in new financial technologies.

Polish crypto analyst Robert Ruszaa, known as El Profesor, apologized for his incorrect Bitcoin forecast, called 'The Plan,' which predicted a price increase based on market patterns and a seasonal trend known as the Santa Rally. His model anticipated Bitcoin maintaining an upward trend, but the market reversed within three weeks, dropping below key levels and invalidating his bullish outlook. Ruszaa admitted his mistake, explaining that he misjudged the probability of certain indicators, leading him to incorrectly assess Bitcoin's potential movement. He emphasized the importance of reacting to market changes rather than sticking to a single prediction, and his transparency was praised by other traders.

In November 2025, Bitcoin experienced a sell-off, dropping over 30% from its high and erasing all gains for the year, trading near $86,000. A technical pattern called a "Death Cross," where the 50-day moving average falls below the 200-day moving average, appeared, often seen as a bearish signal. However, historically, this pattern has often signaled a bottom for Bitcoin rather than a collapse when the 200-day moving average is trending upwards. Each time the Death Cross has appeared since 2023 within a bullish 200-SMA, Bitcoin has rebounded. Despite the panic, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan suggests the bottom is near, potentially around $70,000, noting that institutional investors are buying Bitcoin. Endowments and sovereign funds are accumulating Bitcoin as retail investors sell. Key support levels to watch are $80,000, with a potential downtrend confirmed if this level fails, and resistance around $92,000-$94,000. The historical pattern has been Death Cross, panic, bottom, and rally, which institutional investors believe is currently unfolding. A reversal could push Bitcoin back towards $100,000-$110,000. Experts indicate that the current situation is more likely a temporary dip before a rise than a lasting downturn, with data suggesting that Death Crosses are often buy signals, especially in an uptrending market.

A Galaxy Digital report indicates that DeFi lending significantly outperformed CeFi lending in the third quarter. The value of DeFi loans increased by $14.52 billion, reaching $40.99 billion, pushing the total crypto-collateralized loan market to a record $65.37 billion. DeFi's dominance over CeFi lending rose to 62.71%. This growth is attributed to points farming incentives, the use of improved collateral assets, and rising crypto asset prices. However, the report notes potential double-counting issues when combining CeFi and DeFi figures, because some CeFi entities borrow from DeFi platforms before lending to off-chain clients. Later in Q4, Ripple partnered with Immunefi to enhance the security of the XRPL Lending Protocol and Tether invested in Ledn, a Bitcoin-backed lending platform.

According to Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan, most Digital Asset Treasury Companies (DATs), which manage over $130 billion in digital assets, are currently mispriced, often trading at a discount due to factors like illiquidity, operational expenses, and inherent risks. Hougan suggests DATs can achieve premium valuations by increasing the amount of crypto they hold per share through strategies like issuing debt to buy crypto, lending crypto for interest, using derivatives, or acquiring crypto at discounted prices. Scale is a significant advantage, enabling larger DATs to access debt and M&A opportunities more easily. The market is expected to differentiate further, with some DATs successfully growing their crypto holdings and others struggling with expenses and scale, creating opportunities for investors to identify undervalued companies.

PlayAI Network offers a platform to connect different applications, AI tools, and data sources within a unified workflow. This orchestration layer aims to automate multi-step tasks across systems like calendars, messaging, and cloud storage, reducing manual effort for enterprises. PlayAI uses a modular stack built on decentralized frameworks, including Oasis Nodes, a native token called $PLAI, and an SDK/API layer for developer integrations. The goal is to provide a system where automation, AI-agent orchestration, and workflow integration are combined, offering a scalable solution for cross-tool orchestration.

Chainlink (LINK) is currently trading within a weekly demand zone, a level where it has historically found support. Analysts are watching closely to see if it will bounce from this zone, potentially pushing the price towards the $15-$17 range, or if it will break below, indicating weakening demand. The short-term direction depends on whether LINK can hold above $12 and reclaim $12.50. A break above a descending trendline, possibly influenced by Bitcoin's performance, could also trigger a move higher. However, continued trading below $12.50 suggests ongoing bearish pressure. Over the past 24 hours, LINK has experienced choppy trading, with an intraday range showing difficulty staying above $12.50, although it has held above $12.

Bitcoin's price has dropped over 30% from its high, currently trading around $85,500 after a dip to $82,000. Concerns are rising that long-term Bitcoin holders are selling off their holdings, potentially increasing the available supply and making future price drops more severe. Peter Schiff suggests this is Bitcoin's "IPO moment" as early investors cash out. Evidence shows significant Bitcoin movement from older wallets, with over 400,000 BTC moved in October, and high-profile individuals like Robert Kiyosaki also selling. Contributing to the price decline are leveraged positions being liquidated and substantial outflows from Bitcoin ETFs; nearly $1 billion was withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs in a single session, with BlackRock's IBIT leading the outflows. However, there was a reversal with ETFs posting $238 million in inflows the following day. The market is closely watching the actions of these veteran holders, as their sales could amplify future price declines.

The estimated value of Satoshi Nakamoto's Bitcoin holdings has decreased by approximately $43 billion due to a recent drop of over 30% in Bitcoin's price from its peak. Satoshi's stash of 1.1 million Bitcoin, which was worth about $138 billion in October, is now valued around $96 billion. This decline has shifted Satoshi's ranking among the world's wealthiest individuals from around 11th to approximately 20th place, just below Bill Gates. The Bitcoin, identified through the Patoshi mining pattern, has remained untouched for over a decade. Quantum computing advancements have sparked discussions about the future security of Satoshi's Bitcoin, raising the possibility of needing to address the coins before potential security breaches become real risks. Satoshi's identity is unknown. A film exploring the mystery of Satoshi and implications of the fortune, is due in 2026.

Litecoin's price is under pressure, and analysts are watching the $72 level closely as a critical point to prevent further price drops. Technical indicators suggest Litecoin might be oversold, potentially leading to a short-term price bounce. However, Bitcoin's influence and overall market sentiment are major factors affecting Litecoin's price. If Litecoin recovers, the upside targets are around $92.81, $94.65, and $98.21. On the downside, a break below $78.87 could lead to a fall towards $69.35, and potentially even $52.71 in a more severe downturn. Traders are monitoring the $72 level to determine if buyers can regain control of the market. Litecoin is currently trading around $83.21.

Dogwifhat (WIF) is showing signs of stabilization around $0.33 after a recent dip, but overall the trend indicates weak momentum. Open interest, which reflects speculative activity, is decreasing, suggesting traders are closing positions. The price has seen a slight increase of 1.66% in the last 24 hours, with a market capitalization of $334.5 million. The coin is trading within a narrow range of $0.315 to $0.345, signaling reduced volatility. Technical indicators like MACD and Bollinger Bands suggest a bearish outlook. The coin needs to break above $0.41 to signal a potential recovery, while failure to hold the $0.32-$0.33 support level could lead to further price drops.

The cryptocurrency market is currently experiencing an upward trend, with Bitcoin and XRP leading the recovery. The article does not provide specific figures or reasons for the market movement but highlights these two cryptocurrencies as key drivers of the positive change.

A well-known cryptocurrency investor, James Wynn, predicts that the price of Zcash (ZEC) will decrease to around $300 by the end of November. Wynn has already taken a short position, betting against Zcash, at a price of $684. Zcash has shown some recent price volatility, initially experiencing a strong rally followed by a pullback. Despite Wynn's prediction and the recent retracement, Zcash's price increased nearly 10% in a recent 24-hour period. Liquidation data reveals that both buyers and sellers have significant leverage positions, with the largest long liquidation cluster around $551 and the biggest short liquidation cluster near $605. Open interest in Zcash has also decreased recently from its all-time high. Overall, there are conflicting signals with bearish predictions and some ongoing bullish momentum for Zcash.

Americans are holding onto their smartphones and other tech devices longer, with the average smartphone now being kept for 29 months, up from 22 months in 2016. This trend is negatively impacting the economy, as older devices slow down workplace performance and national productivity. A Federal Reserve report found that for every extra year companies delay tech upgrades, overall productivity falls by about a third of a percent, costing billions across the economy. Outdated devices also strain networks and require businesses to spend more time on maintenance and repairs. Many employees are working overtime due to outdated technology, and innovation is being stifled as a result.

According to NYDIG, the crypto market is experiencing capital flight, indicated by outflows from Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), shifts in stablecoin flows, and reversals in digital asset trust (DAT) activity. These trends suggest that investors are moving capital out of the crypto space.

Stellar (XLM) is showing some early signs of recovery after a price drop, currently stabilizing around $0.23. The amount of open interest, or the number of outstanding contracts, has increased, suggesting new traders are entering the market, potentially pushing the price up. However, technical indicators suggest a cautious approach, as the price remains below key resistance levels. Stellar's price has remained relatively flat over the past 24 hours, with a slight decrease of 0.01%, but it holds a strong market position with a capitalization of $7.43 billion and a trading volume of $134.4 million. The price needs to stay above $0.23 to maintain this recovery and avoid further decline, and a break above $0.2640 is needed for a more bullish outlook. Otherwise, the market might continue to be dominated by sellers.

XRP's price has risen back above $2.00 after a period of volatility. This increase is attributed to institutional investors entering the market through new XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and greater clarity on regulations following the Ripple legal case. Two XRP ETFs have seen inflows totaling over $422 million this week, showing increased institutional interest. While some compare the current market to past cycles, analysts emphasize that current conditions are different due to higher institutional involvement and regulatory certainty. Technically, XRP faces resistance around $2.20-$2.30, and a break above this level could lead to a rally towards $4.00. However, large XRP holders controlling a significant portion of the supply can cause price swings, increasing volatility. In the short term, traders are watching for potential price rejections at $2.00, but longer-term, increased RippleNet adoption and its compatibility with global payment standards could boost XRP's utility and value.

In June 2024, a home invasion in the UK resulted in the theft of $4.3 million in cryptocurrency. The perpetrators, disguised as delivery drivers, gained entry and forced the victim to transfer crypto to their wallets. The stolen funds were later recovered by the Metropolitan Police, and the thieves were sentenced in November 2024. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT traced the crime back to a data breach that leaked information connecting wallet holdings to the victim's address. This incident highlights the risk crypto holders face when personal data is compromised, as physical security becomes vulnerable when attackers know both location and holdings. It raises concerns about the safety of self-custody for high-net-worth individuals, potentially pushing them towards insured third-party custody solutions or significant investments in personal security.

Ethereum's price is currently around $2,700, facing downward pressure due to lower than expected interest in Ethereum ETFs and competition from other blockchain networks. Analysts are watching the $2,400-$2,500 range closely as a critical support level. If the price falls below this range, it could drop further, potentially by 30-40%. On the upside, if Ethereum holds this support and bounces back, analysts suggest a potential recovery towards $4,000 is possible. Recent Ethereum ETF inflows showed some signs of stabilization, but the overall trend remains mixed compared to Bitcoin ETFs. The $2,800 level is considered a key resistance point; breaking above it could lead to further gains, while failure to do so risks a pullback. Currently, Ethereum’s fundamentals, including network upgrades and staking activity, remain strong, supporting its long-term outlook despite short-term price weakness.

China's Premier Li Qiang addressed concerns about export restrictions on key minerals at a G-20 summit, citing security needs while unveiling a 19-nation mining partnership to counter U.S. efforts to build separate supply chains. The G-20 criticized mineral export restrictions, a veiled reference to China's policies impacting manufacturing in Europe and Japan. European nations are planning diplomatic visits to China to discuss rare earth mineral supply. Resource-rich developing nations, like Brazil, voiced their desire to move beyond being mere raw material providers, seeking participation in the global value chain. China's new mining initiative includes 19 countries and the UN, but details and funding remain unclear.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a project initiated by Trump and supported by Musk to cut federal spending by $6.5 trillion, has been dissolved eight months ahead of schedule. Despite the closure, the Dogecoin-related crypto token associated with the initiative has increased in price by 13.62% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $0.00483. The department's roles have been shifted to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The department faced criticism for a lack of transparency and public accountability during its operation, despite reporting $335 million in savings from contract terminations. Some former DOGE employees have expressed concerns about potential legal issues related to the department's aggressive cost-cutting measures. The future impact of the agency’s actions remain uncertain.

XRP's price is around $2.05, showing a nearly 6% increase in the last 24 hours. This rise is attributed to a technical chart pattern called an ascending triangle, suggesting potential for further price increases, and excitement surrounding the upcoming launch of Grayscale's spot XRP ETF. The price could potentially reach $2.35-$2.45 if it breaks above the $2.12-$2.18 range. However, if it fails to maintain above this level, it might fall back to $1.90-$1.92. The launch of the ETF is expected to increase investor interest but its real impact will depend on market factors like liquidity and overall sentiment. Positive legal developments in the SEC case have also contributed to the positive outlook, although the case is still ongoing and involves regulatory concerns.

Apple's new iPhone Air sales have fallen short of expectations, leading the company to cut production. Despite a major redesign and marketing push, the iPhone Air, Apple's thinnest model ever, has not resonated with consumers as much as other iPhone 17 models. The iPhone Air's higher price of $999, coupled with reduced hardware features like a simpler camera and fewer speakers compared to the $1099 iPhone 17 Pro, are factors contributing to lower sales. While the iPhone 17 lineup is expected to exceed previous forecasts, the Air's weak performance, particularly in China, is impacting overall results. Analysts believe the Air may be a test device for future foldable phones, as consumers are choosing models with more powerful features over the ultrathin design.

Bitcoin saw a large inflow of approximately $2 billion worth of BTC into centralized exchanges over the past week, which may indicate that investors are selling some of their holdings. This increase in Bitcoin supply on exchanges put downward pressure on the price, contributing to a price drop to around $80,000 before recovering slightly. The high exchange inflow, reaching levels not seen since mid-July at 81,000 BTC on Friday, November 21, caused volatility. CryptoQuant CEO believes Bitcoin is in a profit-taking phase, and the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting in December will be important, especially considering decreasing expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut.

Bitcoin has recently experienced significant selling pressure, dropping to around $85,000 before showing signs of stabilization. This price drop has led to widespread selling, particularly among short-term holders, resulting in realized losses comparable to those seen during the FTX collapse. Market indicators suggest traders are increasingly buying protection against further price declines. Despite this bearish sentiment, the high level of capitulation can signal a market bottom, potentially leading to a rebound. Bitcoin is currently trading around $85,979, holding above key support levels. If it breaks through the $86,822 resistance, it could rally towards $95,000. However, a break below $85,204 could trigger a deeper fall towards $80,000.

Zcash, a cryptocurrency focused on privacy, increased in value by over 12%, reaching nearly $600 after the OKX exchange announced it would relist the token. This made Zcash the top-performing major cryptocurrency in the last 24 hours, surpassing Bitcoin's performance. OKX had previously removed Zcash in 2023 due to compliance concerns but is now resuming ZEC/USDT trading. The relisting may be due to Zcash's recent strong performance and a potential shift in regulatory attitudes. Some analysts believe that the rise of privacy coins like Zcash could divide support for Bitcoin, while others argue that Zcash serves as a necessary complement to Bitcoin due to concerns about surveillance risks.

Arthur Hayes has made a bullish prediction that the price of Bitcoin could potentially surge to over $250,000 by December. This prediction suggests a significant increase in Bitcoin's value within a relatively short timeframe.

Uniswap's price is hovering around $6.20, showing little movement and weak momentum in both regular trading and futures markets. Technical indicators are giving mixed signals, and the market is consolidating as traders await a clearer direction. Open interest, which reflects the total number of outstanding contracts, has remained flat, indicating a neutral market with low conviction among traders. Despite a slight 2.38% decline in the last 24 hours, the coin's market capitalization stands at $3.90 billion with a daily trading volume of $444.9 million. Technical indicators from TradingView show Uniswap trading near the Bollinger Band basis at $6.804, with momentum indicators leaning slightly bearish, suggesting weak downward pressure. Overall, the market is directionless, with risks slightly tilted to the downside until the token can break above key resistance levels or generate a bullish MACD crossover.

Bitcoin's price is currently being analyzed using various methods to identify potential future price movements. Some analysts are using Gann cycles and MTOPS to suggest a possible resistance level near $107,000 between late November 2025 and early January 2026. Others point to historical data showing Bitcoin has often found support between $55,900 and $44,700. A hypothetical price pattern suggests a potential drop towards $60,000. Institutional activity and overall market conditions, including ETF inflows and macroeconomic factors, could influence Bitcoin's price. These analyses offer possible scenarios, but are not definitive predictions. Bitcoin was trading at approximately $86,394.87, up 2.80% in the last 24 hours.

A cryptographer has stated that Bitcoin is not expected to be vulnerable to attacks from quantum computers for the next 20 to 40 years. This suggests that concerns about quantum computing immediately destabilizing Bitcoin's security are currently unfounded, giving developers time to prepare potential defenses.

The cryptocurrency XRP may experience a significant price increase due to a potential reduction in its available supply on the Binance exchange. This decrease in supply could create a 'perfect storm' scenario, potentially driving up the price of XRP significantly. The article suggests that a smaller XRP supply on Binance, one of the major exchanges, could lead to increased demand and consequently, a substantial price surge.

A group of prominent Chinese crypto figures, including the founder of Huobi and leaders from HashKey Group, Meitu, and Fenbushi Capital, have put their plans to create a $500 million Ethereum Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) firm on hold. The project had secured $110 million in capital commitments but was suspended due to worsening crypto market conditions, including a decline in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices after recent highs. The group intended to invest in ether but decided to delay to avoid potential investor losses, with Meitu suggesting the plan may be revisited when the market improves. The original plan involved acquiring a Nasdaq-listed shell company but this strategy is paused. While some US firms have moved aggressively into Ethereum, digital asset-focused stocks are under pressure, and Hong Kong regulators have not embraced the DAT model.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated he doesn't anticipate a U.S. recession in 2026, attributing future economic growth to policies enacted by President Trump, including tariff actions and domestic legislation referred to as the "One Big, Beautiful Bill." Bessent believes completed tax, trade, and peace agreements will drive strong, noninflationary growth. While acknowledging economic anxieties, particularly in housing due to interest rates, Bessent highlighted the potential for job growth from new manufacturing facilities. He also advocated for ending the Senate filibuster following a government shutdown that he claims negatively impacted the GDP. Finally, Bessent supports a U.S. peace proposal for the Russia-Ukraine conflict, leaving the final decision to Ukrainian officials, and opposes further European sanctions against Russia, favoring instead targeted sanctions like those on Russian oil flows through India.

Charles Hoskinson, a key figure in Cardano, has responded to claims suggesting issues with the Cardano network. He refuted these claims, implying that the network is functioning as intended, despite some concerns being raised.

Aerodrome, the biggest decentralized exchange on the Base network, experienced a suspected front-end breach. The project is investigating a potential DNS hijack of its centralized domains and is urging users to use their decentralized mirror site instead. A DNS hijack redirects users to a fake website. Velodrome, a sister protocol on Optimism, is also facing a similar issue. A similar attack happened roughly two years ago, costing around $100,000. Aerodrome currently has about $399.17 million locked on the platform, reflecting a nearly 4% decline since the hijack, while Velodrome holds about $49.74 million. Dromos Labs, which is behind both Aerodrome and Velodrome, recently announced plans to merge both protocols into a single trading hub called Aero in 2026.

As the year progresses, the U.S. Congress still has several unresolved tasks related to cryptocurrency regulation. Key areas needing attention include establishing clear rules for stablecoins, determining which digital assets should be classified as securities versus commodities, and creating a comprehensive regulatory framework for the broader crypto market. The delay in these regulatory decisions creates uncertainty for businesses operating in the crypto space, potentially impacting investment and innovation. Without legislative clarity, the future development and adoption of cryptocurrencies in the United States remains uncertain.

Recent Bitcoin price drops, particularly during US trading hours while Asian markets bought, have fueled rumors that the US government orchestrated the sell-off. These rumors suggest the government is considering investing in MicroStrategy (MSTR) and Coinbase (COIN), potentially capitalizing on Bitcoin's price decline. The speculation is that the US wanted MicroStrategy's market value to net asset value ratio to be near 1.0 before investing. Figures like Max Keiser and Mike Alfred have spread these claims, naming government officials involved in a plan to support Bitcoin and related assets. However, no official statements or regulatory filings confirm these rumors. MicroStrategy also faces potential issues with MSCI index eligibility due to its large Bitcoin holdings, which could trigger significant outflows from its stock. MicroStrategy's stock price has dropped significantly, bringing its market value to net asset value ratio below 1. These rumors highlight the strong link between MicroStrategy's value and Bitcoin's volatility, the potential impact of index eligibility reviews, and the influence of social media on market sentiment.

Chainlink's cryptocurrency, LINK, has seen an increase in positive social media sentiment recently. This follows a significant drop in LINK's price, reaching as low as $11.60, a 57% discount from its high. The price drop also resulted in LINK being oversold for the first time since March. Investment firm Grayscale has stated that Chainlink is important infrastructure for tokenized assets, potentially making LINK attractive to investors looking for undervalued cryptocurrencies. While LINK has recovered by over 7% from its low, indicators suggest that buying demand from large investors remains weak. Overall trading volume in both regular and derivative markets is down, implying that the price increase might not last without a shift in overall market sentiment.

The cryptocurrency Sei (SEI) is currently trading around $0.13, showing signs of stabilization after a previous decline. However, traders are exhibiting caution, as indicated by a decrease in open interest, suggesting limited new investment. While there has been a slight increase of 1.50% in the past 24 hours, trading volume remains moderate, and the coin is stuck in a narrow range between $0.129 and $0.134. Technical indicators, such as the Bollinger Bands and MACD, suggest ongoing bearish pressure, with resistance around $0.1598 and support at $0.0683. Overall, SEI's price is in a waiting pattern, needing a strong catalyst to change direction.

Bitcoin unexpectedly surged past $87,000 on Sunday after a period of significant losses where over $1 trillion was erased from the crypto market in the previous nine days. Bitcoin had fallen to its lowest level since April, down over 33% from its peak in early October. Despite the sudden jump, Bitcoin is still down about 10% for the year. Analysts point to factors such as exhaustion of the AI trade, global rate uncertainty, and large investors moving funds out of crypto. Some suggest the price increase might not signal a true market reversal, and upcoming U.S. spending data will be crucial in determining future Federal Reserve actions and their impact on Bitcoin's recovery. A sustained hold below $87,000 could indicate a prolonged period of market stagnation, while a climb back to $93,000 by Monday is needed to restore confidence.

Bitcoin has been in a correction phase, dropping over 10% in the last week. An analyst, Ali Martinez, suggests that Bitcoin's price could potentially fall to between $55,900 and $44,700 before finding a bottom and potentially rebounding. This prediction is based on MVRV Pricing Bands, which historically have indicated local bottoms for Bitcoin. If a rebound occurs, potential upside targets are $134,195 and $178,927. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $85,938, up slightly in the last day, but trading volume is down significantly. US Bitcoin Spot ETFs have seen substantial outflows of over $4.3 billion in the past four weeks.

Japan is planning to reclassify Bitcoin, Ethereum, and about 100 other crypto tokens as financial products similar to stocks, potentially starting in 2026. This change aims to apply a flat 20% tax on crypto gains, down from the current maximum of 55%, and introduce insider trading rules. The move seeks to attract institutional investors like banks and insurers by creating a more regulated environment. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) will curate a list of approved tokens, creating a two-tiered market with different levels of access and restrictions. This initiative puts pressure on other Asian crypto hubs like Singapore and Hong Kong to adjust their own regulations to remain competitive. The changes in Japan could lead to increased crypto deposits in Japanese exchanges and potential repatriation of capital from overseas crypto investments.

Bitcoin has experienced a significant price drop, falling over 35% from its recent high and dipping below $81,000 before recovering to $87,000. CryptoQuant's report suggests this correction may indicate the beginning of a bear market, as Bitcoin has fallen below its 365-day moving average of $102,000, a level that previously acted as strong support. The report highlights a decline in institutional demand, with slowing Bitcoin ETF inflows and reduced purchases from Treasury companies whose market value has decreased considerably. While a potential catalyst could spark a new rally in the future, current demand indicators are weak, raising concerns about the continuation of the bull cycle.

Dogecoin's price has been falling, and some indicators suggest it's currently overvalued. This overvaluation is due to speculation around the upcoming launch of Grayscale's Dogecoin ETF. The launch on Monday is anticipated to bring in new investment, which could change Dogecoin's short-term price direction. Long-term Dogecoin holders are showing continued support, which could help stabilize the price. Currently trading around $0.143, a successful ETF launch could push the price above $0.151, potentially leading to a rise towards $0.165. However, if the ETF doesn't generate enough buying activity, Dogecoin could fall to $0.130 or remain stuck below $0.151.

Bitcoin's price has rebounded to around $87,000, sparking renewed interest from traders hoping for a surge towards $90,000 to $100,000. Historically, Bitcoin often sees weekend price increases that lose momentum when larger institutional trading resumes during the week. Substantial sell orders are appearing between $88,000 and $91,000, which could act as a resistance. Some analysts also point to potential price drops to fill gaps in the CME futures market. However, technical analysis suggests that if Bitcoin holds above the $85,300-$86,000 range, it could continue its upward trend toward $90,000-$90,100. The market is watching to see if Bitcoin can break through the $88,000-$91,000 resistance to potentially reach $100,000, as Bitcoin was up 2.93% in the last 24 hours, trading at around 86,990 at press time.

Dogecoin's price is currently around $0.14, showing a slight increase today but still down over the past month. A technical indicator called TD Sequential flashed a potential buy signal on Dogecoin's chart, which sometimes suggests a trend reversal, similar to one in September 2025 that preceded a 101% rebound. However, experts caution that this signal isn't always accurate, especially in a generally declining market. Dogecoin is in a bearish market, meaning it's generally going down, and it's nearing the lower end of a long-term price range. Its market value is about $22 billion with over 151 billion coins in circulation. Key price levels to watch are resistance around $0.1495 and $0.1586, and support around $0.138 and $0.135. Some analysts believe Dogecoin is in a corrective phase and anticipate a possible rebound after it completes. The price is influenced by social media trends, its unlimited supply, and speculation about a Dogecoin ETF, but its practical uses are still limited.

The Ethereum Foundation has announced that Devcon 8, their major global event for Ethereum developers and researchers, will be held in Mumbai, India in the fourth quarter of 2026. India was chosen because it's a leading country in crypto adoption and has the most new crypto developers this year. The local Ethereum community, including groups like EthMumbai and Polygon, has helped India become a strong center for Web3 innovation by creating training programs and hackathons. While India has a 30% tax on crypto gains and a 1% tax on trades, the country's crypto activity remains strong, with local exchanges operating and the government experimenting with blockchain technology. Devcon 8 is expected to be a significant event that will boost Ethereum's global growth and strengthen the connection between Indian developers and the global Web3 community.

Michael Saylor has reiterated his commitment to MicroStrategy's strategy of acquiring and holding Bitcoin. The article emphasizes that Saylor is standing firm in his belief in Bitcoin as a primary treasury reserve asset, suggesting MicroStrategy will continue to invest in it. This indicates a continued bullish stance from a major corporate holder of Bitcoin, which can influence market sentiment.

The UK government has announced a new plan to decrease its reliance on foreign countries, particularly China, for critical minerals like rare earth metals, lithium, nickel, and tungsten. These minerals are essential for various technologies, including military equipment, wind turbines, and electric vehicles. The strategy aims to ensure that by 2035, no more than 60% of the UK's supply of any single critical mineral comes from one country, with targets to source 10% domestically and 20% from recycling. The UK currently produces only 6% of its critical mineral needs domestically, and the plan includes investing up to £50 million into UK businesses to boost domestic production and processing. The focus will be on lithium, with a goal to produce at least 50,000 tons domestically by 2035, as well as nickel, tungsten, and rare earths. This initiative comes as the UK's demand for these materials is rapidly increasing, with lithium demand expected to surge by 1,100% by 2035.

Solana's price is currently in a crucial support zone between $105 and $125. Analysts suggest that if this level holds, Solana could rebound strongly, potentially reaching $240. The current market setup, a descending triangle, indicates a significant price movement is likely, possibly by early 2026. However, a break below $130 could signal further price drops. Solana spot ETFs have seen 18 consecutive days of positive inflows, accumulating over $510 million, with Bitwise BSOL fund dominating. Conversely, a potential 'Death Cross' formation in moving averages suggests a possible downtrend, potentially pushing the price towards $98 if historical patterns repeat.

VanEck's CEO has indicated the firm might reduce or eliminate its Bitcoin holdings if quantum computing advancements pose a significant threat to Bitcoin's cryptography. The concern stems from the potential vulnerability during the period between a quantum computing breakthrough and a complete upgrade of the Bitcoin network to quantum-resistant security measures. This window could allow attackers to exploit weaknesses and steal funds. Upgrading Bitcoin's security requires coordinated action from miners, exchanges, and other network participants, presenting a logistical challenge. VanEck's warning highlights the need for institutional investors to re-evaluate their risk models and contingency plans. The potential exit of a large institutional player like VanEck could negatively impact market confidence, increase price volatility, and trigger further sell-offs. Regulatory bodies are also monitoring the situation, recommending proactive adoption of post-quantum security measures for critical systems.

BitMine, despite a significant drop in its stock price and paper losses, continues to aggressively buy Ethereum. The company recently acquired approximately $60 million worth of Ethereum, bringing its total holdings to over 3.5 million ETH, nearly 3% of the total supply. To counter the impact of declining asset prices, BitMine is shifting its strategy from passively holding ETH to actively generating yield through staking. They are launching the Made in America Validator Network (MAVAN) which is set to go live in early 2026 and have partnered with pilot partners to test staking operations. BitMine also announced a dividend of $0.01 per share.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, sold $2.25 million worth of Bitcoin that he originally purchased at around $6,000 per coin. He sold his Bitcoin at approximately $90,000 per coin. He plans to use the profits to purchase two surgery centers and invest in a billboard business, expecting to generate about $27,500 per month in tax-free cash flow by next February. Despite the sale, Kiyosaki remains optimistic about Bitcoin and plans to reinvest in it using the income from his new ventures. He also reiterated his support for Ethereum, gold, and silver, while warning of a significant upcoming market crash. He predicts silver will increase in value, potentially reaching $70 soon and possibly $200 by 2026.

Large holders of Ripple (XRP) have reportedly sold over 190 million XRP, causing its price to fall to around $2.00. Binance Coin (BNB) is also experiencing a decline, dropping to about $860 after failing to surpass $940. As interest in these major cryptocurrencies wanes, a new project called Digitap ($TAP) is gaining attention. Digitap is a crypto presale focused on integrating crypto and fiat payments within a single app. The Digitap presale has raised $2.1 million with 130 million coins sold, and analysts suggest it could potentially provide high returns. The project emphasizes security with audits from Coinsult and Solidproof. Digitap is offering a 20% discount for first-time buyers using the code DIGITAP20.

Singapore police arrested one suspect following a raid on SRS Auto Holdings Pte., a car loan company linked to Chen Zhi, chairman of Prince Group. The suspect, Tan Yew Kiat, is believed to be involved in money laundering. This action follows U.S. indictments against Chen for allegedly running scam operations in Cambodia and subsequent sanctions on him and associated entities across multiple countries. Over $150 million in assets, including properties, vehicles, and cash, have been seized by Singapore authorities. Prior to the raid, a wallet linked to Chen moved a substantial amount of Bitcoin, approximately 15,959 BTC worth $1.83 billion, to new addresses, which analysts connect to a U.S. Department of Justice case targeting $14.4 billion in Bitcoin allegedly tied to Chen's operations and possibly related to the 2020 LuBian mining pool hack. The Prince Group denies any unlawful activity, and some companies connected to Chen are seeking to regain access to frozen accounts due to financial hardship faced by employees.

Bitcoin's recent price decline is attributed to an imbalance of investors betting on its price to go up (long positions) versus those betting it will go down (short positions). According to Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson, there are significantly more long positions than short positions across multiple exchanges, making the market vulnerable to price drops. When the price falls slightly below where many investors bought in, it triggers a cascade of liquidations, pushing the price down further. Traders had initially targeted $100,000 and then $90,000 as price bottoms, but these levels failed, leading to more liquidations. Now, $84,000 is seen as a potential bottom. For Bitcoin to recover, there needs to be fewer long positions and more short positions. Technical analyst Ali Martinez points out that Bitcoin's 2-year moving average, around $81,250, is a crucial level to watch, as historically, falling below this average has signaled the start of bear markets. Currently, Bitcoin is priced at $86,251.

The article discusses "vibe coding," a no-code or low-code approach to web3 development that aims to make application creation accessible to everyone. Injective's cofounder, Eric Chen, explains that vibe coding allows users to build and deploy applications using simple text commands, similar to using ChatGPT for coding. This method can significantly speed up development, with surveys showing that nearly 75% of developers at early-stage startups use vibe coding, increasing delivery velocity by at least 30%. Injective has launched iBuild, an AI-powered platform demonstrating vibe coding, where users can create applications within minutes. The platform allows both novices and experienced developers to create and deploy apps. Safety is addressed through audited modules that detect fraudulent activity, ensuring secure financial transactions. The pricing model for iBuild is pay-as-you-go based on API usage. Injective's MultiVM environment uses Rust, a safe language, and built-in financial modules to prevent unsafe code interactions, fostering a secure ecosystem. Overall, vibe coding is changing web3 development by lowering the barriers to entry and accelerating the pace of innovation.

The article examines the relationship between Bitcoin's price and two macroeconomic factors: the global M2 money supply (a measure of liquidity) and the DXY dollar index (a measure of the dollar's strength). It finds that while influencers often present a simple correlation, the actual relationship is more complex and changes over time. The author's analysis of daily price data over the last year reveals that Bitcoin's price generally moves in the same direction as the M2 money supply (with a delay of about 84 days) and in the opposite direction of the dollar. The correlation between Bitcoin and M2 is 0.78, while Bitcoin versus DXY is 0.58. A lag test shows Bitcoin returns are most correlated with prior moves in the liquidity series about six weeks earlier and inversely correlated with prior moves in DXY about one month earlier. The article highlights that the relationship between these factors and Bitcoin's price varies depending on market conditions (bull vs. bear market). Specifically, during a bull run, Bitcoin's price is strongly correlated with M2, while during a downturn, this correlation weakens or even flips. The influence of the dollar remains relatively consistent across both phases. The article suggests that M2 acts as a slow trend indicator, while the DXY acts as a shorter-term gatekeeper, influencing the pace and direction of Bitcoin's price. The data emphasizes the importance of considering both the M2 and DXY, and the timing of their movements, when trying to understand Bitcoin's price action, rather than relying on simple, fixed correlations.

The article makes a prediction that the price of XRP will reach $3 this week, but does not contain any factual information to support this claim. It's solely speculative.

Tesla is nearing completion of its AI5 chip design and starting work on AI6, aiming to produce a new AI chip design every 12 months. Elon Musk claims Tesla will eventually produce more AI chips than all other companies combined. The AI5 chip production is expected to start in late 2026 with high-volume production in 2027, and will be manufactured by TSMC. Tesla also has a multiyear contract with Samsung for future AI chip production. These chips will be used in Tesla's data centers, Cybercab, Optimus robots, and vehicles. Tesla is recruiting chip engineering talent amid restructuring of its Dojo team, following the departure of its leader Peter Bannon and other employees. The company is focusing on inference chips and is part of a trend of companies building custom chips to reduce reliance on Nvidia.

The Cardano network experienced an unexpected fork, a disruption in its blockchain. Simultaneously, the price of ADA, Cardano's native cryptocurrency, dropped below $0.50. This indicates potential instability or technical issues within the Cardano network that could be negatively impacting investor confidence and leading to a decrease in its market value.

Robert Kiyosaki, the author of 'Rich Dad Poor Dad,' reportedly sold $2.25 million worth of his Bitcoin holdings. This sale occurred during a period of market decline for Bitcoin. The article highlights this specific transaction and the potential reasons behind it, considering Kiyosaki's past statements and investment strategies.

A cryptocurrency news article highlights LivLive ($LIVE) as a top crypto with potential for growth during the current market dip and Black Friday season. LivLive operates as a real world augmented reality system where users earn $LIVE rewards for everyday activities like walking and shopping. The LivLive presale is currently in Stage 1 at $0.02, having raised over $2.1 million with over 300 early holders, and is moving to Stage 2 at $0.04.

An AI market analysis predicts a potential Bitcoin price drop to $75,000 from its current level around $85,000 due to macroeconomic uncertainty, technical chart weaknesses, and slowing on-chain activity. The AI identifies Digitap ($TAP), a fintech company aiming to unify traditional banking with cryptocurrency, as a promising altcoin. Digitap's platform allows users to manage fiat, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies in one place, targeting the cross-border payments sector, which processed nearly one quadrillion dollars in transactions in 2024. Digitap's partnership with Visa enables users to spend crypto via a prepaid debit card. The $TAP token presale has raised over $2 million, offering early investors a current paper profit of over 150%. Tokenomics include a fixed supply of 2 billion tokens, with 50% of platform profits used to buy back and burn $TAP tokens, potentially increasing its value.

Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange, announced it moved a large amount of Bitcoin and Ether tokens to new internal wallets as part of a planned security measure. This was done to avoid keeping funds in the same publicly known wallet addresses for a long time, reducing the risk of long-term exposure and potential cyberattacks. The exchange emphasized this migration was pre-planned, unrelated to market conditions or security breaches, and is a standard practice to enhance asset safety. Users were cautioned about potential scams during and after the migration, with a reminder that Coinbase representatives would not ask for login information or fund transfers. The exchange moved roughly 300,000 BTC, worth over $25 billion, significantly impacting the Bitcoin Exchange Reserve metric.

North Korean operatives are reportedly infiltrating crypto companies at a higher rate than previously thought. According to Security Alliance (SEAL) member Pablo Sabbatella, these agents may be embedded in 15% to 20% of crypto firms, with 30% to 40% of job applications potentially coming from North Korean state actors. These individuals gain access to internal systems after being hired, often facilitated by middlemen providing digital identities and access to freelance platforms. Some operatives even use American residents as fronts, installing malware to maintain a U.S. IP address and internet access. These infiltrators are often productive and remain undetected, posing a significant threat to internal security. The crypto industry's weak security posture, including exposed identities and insecure communication, exacerbates the problem. North Korean crypto theft has exceeded $3 billion in the last three years, funding Pyongyang's weapons program.
