Litecoin's price has recently increased by 12%. The article notes a Pearson correlation of 0.01 between Litecoin and Bitcoin, suggesting a very weak correlation between the two cryptocurrencies at the moment. The article poses the question of whether Litecoin is preparing to reach a price of $125.

The article discusses contrasting viewpoints on the potential state of the cryptocurrency market in 2025, comparing it to the downturn experienced in 2022. Nic Carter and McCordic hold opposing views on whether the market conditions will be more or less favorable in 2025 than they were in 2022, implying potential future volatility or growth within the crypto space.

Bitcoin's price recently dipped to around $96,000, but technical indicators suggest a potential upward swing. A "Death Cross" pattern, which often signals market bottoms, has appeared alongside support at the lower boundary of a long-term pattern. A former support level of $100,460 is now a key resistance point; if Bitcoin can surpass this, analysts expect a rise towards $103,460. Otherwise, a failure to break the $100,460 resistance would favor short setups. The overall market structure is considered technically sound, and the alignment of these factors increases the likelihood of a short-term price recovery for Bitcoin.

Ethereum's co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, has endorsed a new statement emphasizing the importance of decentralization for blockchain technology. This action comes at a time when Ethereum, and the broader cryptocurrency space, is facing increased scrutiny regarding the level of control concentrated in the hands of a few entities. The manifesto reaffirms the commitment to a more distributed and less centralized system for Ethereum's future development.

XRP's price has decreased by 1.61% in the last 24 hours, currently trading at $2.24 with a market capitalization of $135.33 billion. The price struggled to maintain upward momentum, fluctuating around $2.25 and $2.26 before settling at $2.24. Trading volume has significantly dropped by 56.5%, indicating weaker market activity. Despite the recent negative trend over the past week which puts XRP down 2.9% for the month, a TD Buy signal has appeared on the XRP chart. This signal suggests a possible price rebound may occur as the weekend approaches, although XRP has not yet broken past the $2.30 level.

Optimism (OP) is currently trading around $0.39, showing a slight daily decrease of -0.29%. Market analysts have identified a potential bullish pattern called a falling wedge on OP's daily chart. This pattern suggests that if OP maintains its position above its current support level and breaks through the wedge's resistance line with strong trading volume, it could potentially increase by 100-120% in the mid-term. OP's market capitalization is approximately $735 million, with a 24-hour trading volume of around $147 million. TradingView indicators show mixed momentum, with volatility remaining compressed, and suggest that OP is at a critical point, requiring confirmation of a breakout before any directional bias can be established. The price has been moving between $0.375 and $0.405 intraday.

The article discusses several altcoins that analysts believe have the potential for significant gains in 2025. BullZilla ($BZIL) is highlighted as a promising project, currently in its presale stage at a price of $0.00025239, having already raised over $1 million with over 3,500 holders. Analysts predict a listing price of $0.00527, potentially offering early investors substantial returns. The presale is structured with a unique referral system called 'Roar-to-Earn'. The article also mentions Hedera ($HBAR), MoonBull ($MOBU), La Culex ($CULEX), Apeing ($APEING), Cronos ($CRO), and Solana ($SOL) as other altcoins with notable features and growth potential, each offering unique value propositions such as staking rewards, enterprise solutions, or community-driven initiatives. The liquidity for La Culex is locked for 18 months to enhance stability. Apeing is a charity driven coin. Overall, the article suggests that a mix of innovation, transparency, and community engagement are key factors for altcoin success in the upcoming bull market.

Bitcoin has fallen below $100,000 again, experiencing a 12% drop in value over the past month. The total crypto market has seen a decrease of over $700 billion during this period, pushing the Fear and Greed Index into extreme fear territory. Bitcoin is currently trading below its 365-day moving average, a level around $102,000, which is a key indicator that has signaled bear markets in the past. The 6-12 month UTXO realized price is around $94,600, a level slightly below the current Bitcoin price, indicating that some recent buyers are now in a loss position. Market-wide RSI readings are low, with an average crypto RSI of 43.09. The average normalized MACD is currently 0.02. The article suggests that the crypto market is currently in a mid-cycle breakdown and not yet a confirmed bear market, but it is at high risk of transitioning into one. A bear market would be confirmed if Bitcoin stays below its 365-day moving average for 4-6 weeks, long-term holders heavily distribute their holdings exceeding 1M BTC over 60 days, and the MACD flips fully negative across the entire market.

SEI's price is fluctuating after hitting a weekly high and then falling back. Analysts are watching to see if this is the start of a price correction or a setup for another price increase. Currently, SEI is trading around $0.16, down 2.84% in the last 24 hours. It's ranked #107 in market capitalization, which is about $1,025,237,484.00, with a daily trading volume of $139,817,052.00. The price is moving between $0.16 and $0.18, and analysts are looking at the $0.152 to $0.210 range as important for future price direction. A key descending trendline is also being monitored, and a break above it could signal a clearer upward trend. While momentum indicators show some improvement, previous attempts to move higher have failed, so further gains need strong support to be sustained.

Harvard University's endowment fund has made a significant move into the Bitcoin market by investing $443 million in BlackRock's IBIT, a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This investment represents a rare instance of a major university endowment directly engaging with Bitcoin. The large investment suggests growing institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as an asset class.

Bitcoin is nearing its fourth 'death cross' of the current market cycle, a technical indicator that often signals a potential downturn. The price of Bitcoin is in danger of dropping below $90,000.

Harvard University has reportedly increased its investments in Bitcoin, tripling its existing holdings. This decision comes at a time when the cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant volatility. Harvard's move to expand its Bitcoin portfolio indicates a sustained belief in the long-term value and potential of Bitcoin as an asset, despite current market uncertainties. This action by a major institutional investor suggests a continued confidence in Bitcoin's future among sophisticated financial entities.

Bitcoin is currently holding support around $96,000, while analysts believe a break above the $103,000 level is needed to regain upward momentum. A key point of discussion is the CME futures gap near $92,000, which some traders expect Bitcoin to fill before any significant rebound. There's a split sentiment, with some anticipating a drop to the $92,000 or even $88,000-$90,000 range, while others see this as a normal retracement in a larger uptrend. The $88,000-$90,000 area is considered a crucial support zone. Despite recent volatility, demand from Bitcoin ETFs remains relatively consistent. High-timeframe indicators show early signs of stabilization, and lower timeframes suggest potential for short-term gains, targeting $101,000-$104,000. Bitcoin's next move depends on its behavior around the mid-$90,000 level, with the $92,000 CME gap acting as a potential downside target. At press time, Bitcoin was trading around $96,162, down 0.50% in the last 24 hours.

Cardano whales, large holders of the ADA cryptocurrency, have sold off 4 million ADA tokens. This sale coincides with Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson responding to criticism regarding the network's decreasing Total Value Locked (TVL), a metric used to measure the value of assets locked in a decentralized finance protocol. The market implications of the whale sell-off and Hoskinson's response were not detailed in this report.

HBAR's price is currently around $0.15631, showing a downtrend after peaking near $0.20000. It's forming lower highs and lower lows, indicating bearish momentum. Open interest, which reflects market participation, has slightly rebounded to around 62.70M after a decline. An analyst on X noted HBAR is in a bearish descending wedge pattern. HBAR is down 0.93% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap of $6,507,977,488 and a trading volume of $414,627,522. It's ranked 29th globally by market capitalization. TradingView indicators show HBAR near the lower Bollinger Band at 0.15127, below the basis of 0.18000, with the MACD line and signal line both negative, reinforcing the bearish trend.

Matthew Sigel, a digital asset research head at VanEck, made a sarcastic comment on social media about XRP, a cryptocurrency and its underlying technology, the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Sigel's remark suggested he doesn't understand the value or purpose of XRP despite its years of development. This caused an immediate negative reaction from the XRP community, who felt it diminished their work and the technology's advancements in areas like decentralized finance and cross-border payments. Several crypto figures and XRP supporters defended the project, highlighting its unique features and contributions to the blockchain space, particularly its role in global payments and settlements. They also criticized Sigel's perceived lack of understanding given his position at VanEck, suggesting he should better understand blockchain fundamentals.

Dogecoin is currently positioned at a point where a significant price movement could occur, according to technical analysis. Some analysts are observing a price pattern called an ascending triangle, which suggests that if Dogecoin breaks above $0.23 with increased trading activity, it could potentially rise further, possibly towards $0.29 and even higher, with some long-term projections reaching $1.00 or $1.76 based on Elliott Wave theory. However, if Dogecoin falls below $0.18, this could weaken the bullish pattern and lead to further price consolidation. The cryptocurrency's future direction hinges on whether it can maintain its support levels and successfully break through the resistance at $0.23, while also depending on the overall sentiment of the cryptocurrency market. Dogecoin was trading around $0.16, down 1.59% in the last 24 hours.

Chainlink's price is currently around $14.29, facing downward pressure. Analysts point to a critical support zone between $14 and $15 that needs to hold to prevent further decline. A break below $12.50 could lead to drops towards $10 or $9.50. Conversely, a rise above $16 and the descending trendline would signal a positive shift. Technical indicators like MACD and Bollinger Bands suggest continued bearish momentum. The next key support level to watch is around $12 to $12.50, while a daily close above $16.20 could pave the way for a move towards $17 to $18. Over the last 24 hours, Chainlink has decreased by approximately 2.65%, with a trading volume of around $922 million and a market capitalization of approximately $9.7 billion.

Recent concerns arose about whether Strategy, a company known for holding a large amount of Bitcoin, was selling off its assets and contributing to a drop in Bitcoin's price. This started when monitoring platforms indicated significant Bitcoin transfers from wallets linked to Strategy, leading to rumors of a major sell-off. A report then circulated, claiming Strategy had reduced its Bitcoin holdings by a substantial amount. However, Michael Saylor, a representative of Strategy, denied these claims, stating they had not sold any Bitcoin. It was later clarified that Strategy had indeed moved a large amount of Bitcoin, but this was due to routine transfers between custodians and internal rebalancing, not sales. Saylor further emphasized that Strategy is actively buying Bitcoin and has no immediate financial pressure to sell, given their debt structure. Despite this, Bitcoin's price has generally decreased this week, trading below $100,000 at $96,084.

Alibaba plans to use JPMorgan's blockchain technology to facilitate payments in tokenized US dollars and Euros. This initiative, reported by CNBC, indicates a move towards integrating blockchain solutions for cross-border transactions within Alibaba's ecosystem. The use of tokenized currencies aims to improve the efficiency and speed of payments involving dollars and euros. This partnership signifies a growing adoption of blockchain technology by major corporations for financial operations.

A public disagreement on social media erupted between a former official from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the founder of Uniswap, a large cryptocurrency exchange, regarding the true purpose of decentralization in crypto. The disagreement was sparked by Uniswap's proposal to combine its operations and activate a fee switch, which would direct fees to UNI token holders and burn a significant amount of UNI tokens. The former SEC official suggested Uniswap's decentralization was merely a tactic to avoid regulation, while the Uniswap founder accused her of supporting centralized crypto exchanges like FTX. The heart of the debate revolves around whether decentralization in decentralized finance (DeFi) is a core principle or just a temporary measure used to bypass regulations. Uniswap's proposed changes, which include a token burn of 100 million UNI, are seen by some as a move towards centralization, while others view it as a natural progression for the protocol. The disagreement highlights the ongoing tension between regulatory compliance and the original ideals of DeFi. The market seems to favor Uniswap's move, as indicated by the rise in UNI's price and high governance approval odds.

A recent survey indicates that new college graduates are facing a difficult job market, with employers cutting entry-level positions due to the increasing use of artificial intelligence. Entry-level job postings have dropped by 35% since January 2023, and layoffs have increased significantly, with tech and finance companies leading the way in replacing human workers with automation. Only 30% of the class of 2025 have secured full-time work in their field, a decline from the previous year. Consequently, colleges are adapting by focusing on internships and hands-on experience to make graduates more competitive. Some institutions are revamping their programs to include career-connected advising, paid internships, and collaborations with employers to ensure students have job offers or graduate school placements upon graduation. There's growing concern about the value of a college degree, as tuition costs rise and student debt increases, prompting schools to adapt to the changing job market.

XRP is currently trading around $2.31, consolidating between $2.07 and $2.22. It might rebound towards $2.45 before meeting resistance. A new XRP ETF saw $250 million in inflows on its launch day, signaling institutional interest. Immediate resistance for XRP is at $2.45, with major support between $2.07 and $2.22. If XRP breaks above $2.45, it would require increased trading volume and market stability, but failure to do so could lead to a retest of support levels. Bitcoin's price movements significantly influence XRP. The U.S. XRP ETF could influence how other countries view XRP. Traders should monitor price behavior around $2.45, ETF flows, Bitcoin's stability, and regulatory developments. Despite positive indicators like ETF inflows, market volatility remains a risk. XRP was up 0.74% at press time.

An expert is predicting that the price of Bitcoin is likely to fall further. This prediction comes as the Crypto Fear and Greed Index has dropped to a score of 10, indicating extreme fear in the cryptocurrency market. A score of 10 suggests investors are very worried, which the expert believes will lead to additional selling pressure and a lower price for Bitcoin.

Aster DEX clarified that its tokenomics remain unchanged after CoinMarketCap (CMC) displayed data suggesting major token unlocks were delayed by up to a decade, causing confusion. The misunderstanding stemmed from how circulating supply data was updated on CMC, leading users to believe that around 75% of the total token supply was locked. Specifically, CMC showed a 200 million ASTER unlock slated for December 15, 2025, followed by larger unlocks in 2035. Aster DEX stated that ecosystem allocations unlock monthly but remain untouched in a locked address as they have no immediate operational use. To resolve the confusion, Aster DEX will move the unlocked tokens to a separate public address and stated they don't intend to spend from this address anytime soon. Despite the speculation, ASTER's price has remained relatively stable, fluctuating between $1.08 and $1.15. Aster's circulating supply is about 2.017 billion tokens, with about 6.06 billion locked. The market capitalization is about $2.27 billion, with a fully diluted valuation exceeding $9 billion.

The crypto market is shifting from simply holding assets to actively using them to generate wealth. While holding Bitcoin was profitable in the early days, the current market rewards strategic movement of crypto assets. Investors are now borrowing against their crypto instead of selling, converting to stablecoins during volatility, and using platforms to earn yield on their holdings. This dynamic approach to wealth creation is supported by the growth of tokenized assets like U.S. Treasuries, which now account for over $7 billion, and a real-world asset market that has expanded to $24 billion. Stablecoins are also playing a key role, processing more transactions than PayPal and Visa, with on-chain settlement volume approaching 40% of the U.S. ACH network's total value. Lending markets backed by digital assets have reached $44 billion, allowing investors to access funds while maintaining their crypto exposure. This shift is also generational, with Gen Z treating crypto as working capital and actively managing their portfolios.

Uniswap (UNI) experienced a price reversal after initially rising to a weekly high, leading to a 25% drop. Analysts are closely watching the $7-$8 support level to determine if this signals a potential breakout or further price decline. Currently, UNI is trading around $7.329, up 4.82% on the day. Technical indicators show signs of a possible recovery, but resistance remains strong at the $12.30 level. The market capitalization of UNI is $4.50 billion, with a daily trading volume of $1.11 billion. Whether UNI consolidates in the $7-$8 range or pulls back further will depend on market activity.

A group of Wall Street billionaires, including executives from Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, JPMorgan, Nasdaq, and BlackRock, met with Donald Trump to discuss strategies to counter the potential impact of Zohran Mamdani's policies as mayor of New York City. The billionaires are concerned about Mamdani's plans, called Zohranomics, to increase taxes on wealthy individuals and corporations and borrow heavily to fund various city programs. They discussed supporting Elise Stefanik in the 2026 New York gubernatorial race to create a check on Mamdani's policies at the state level, particularly regarding tax increases and borrowing. New York City is already facing a multibillion-dollar budget deficit, exacerbated by federal cuts. Mamdani's tax plans would require approval from the Governor and state lawmakers, and raising corporate tax rates could make New York less competitive. In 2019, New York City collected $3.4 billion in corporate taxes, which climbed to $7.5 billion by 2024.

A technical indicator called the weekly supertrend has flashed a sell signal for Bitcoin for the first time since December 2021. This signal, which uses historical price data to identify trends, suggests a potential downward movement for Bitcoin's price. The last time this signal appeared, Bitcoin's price fell by over 70%. If the signal holds true this time, Bitcoin could potentially drop to around $30,000 from its current level. The signal will be confirmed if Bitcoin closes below $96,300 at the end of the week. Currently, Bitcoin's price is just above $94,400, marking a 6% decline in the last 24 hours.

I am sorry, but I cannot provide a summary because the article content is missing.

The U.S. Treasury has issued a special license allowing companies to negotiate with Lukoil for its overseas assets until December 13, despite sanctions against the Russian oil giant taking effect on November 21. This move aims to avoid disruptions to global energy supply chains while still restricting Russia's oil revenue. A previous deal involving Swiss firm Gunvor was blocked, and U.S. private equity group Carlyle is reportedly considering acquiring Lukoil's assets. Any deal must fully separate Lukoil from its international operations, and the proceeds would be held in a blocked account inaccessible to Lukoil unless sanctions are lifted. Lukoil's international assets are valued at approximately $22 billion, including oil and gas fields in Iraq, Central Asia, and Mexico. The Treasury also issued waivers for Lukoil-branded petrol stations to operate until December 13, and for Lukoil's refinery in Bulgaria to continue trading until April next year. Additionally, a waiver allows transactions related to the Caspian Pipeline Consortium and stakes in certain oil fields in Kazakhstan until January 10.

XRP's price could increase, potentially reaching $2.75, due to its strong performance against Bitcoin. Although XRP's daily price movement mirrored Bitcoin's slightly negative trend, XRP showed strength relative to Bitcoin. Overcoming a specific price point against Bitcoin could lead to a price surge for XRP. However, Bitcoin's performance remains crucial; a Bitcoin downturn could drag XRP down to around $2. Intraday trading is choppy and short-term traders should watch the $2.408 resistance level; breaking above it could present buying opportunities. Conversely, a bearish reaction at $2.408 might offer selling chances. A drop below $2.2550 would increase the likelihood of further price decreases. Traders are advised to wait for clearer signals before making aggressive moves.

The Canary XRPC ETF launched with over $58 million in first-day trading volume, but the price of XRP remained relatively unchanged. This is primarily because stock market ETF activity doesn't immediately translate to crypto market purchases. ETF issuers only receive funds the next business day due to the T+1 settlement cycle and can then begin buying XRP to back the fund. Broader crypto market conditions, including a risk-off sentiment and selling pressure from large XRP holders, also contributed to the lack of immediate price increase. While Ripple has many partners, not all utilize XRP directly, and the large circulating supply can limit the impact of positive news. Consistent ETF inflows over time could gradually reduce XRP supply and potentially support long-term price appreciation.

The cryptocurrency Chainlink (LINK) has seen a significant accumulation of 53.87 million tokens. The article discusses the potential impact of this accumulation on the future price of Chainlink. The article focuses on the effect of this accumulation on the cryptocurrency's market dynamics.

Cardano's ADA cryptocurrency has fallen below a key support level, prompting analysts to suggest a possible further decline in value. Predictions indicate that ADA could potentially crash to as low as $0.40. This movement signifies a significant shift in ADA's market performance, leading to concerns about further price decreases.

The crypto project Milk Mocha ($HUGS) is designed for predictable growth through a 40-stage presale where the price increases weekly from $0.0002 to $0.04658496. Unsold tokens are burned, reducing supply and increasing value. $HUGS aims to be more than a speculative token, serving as a functional currency within its ecosystem, including NFTs, gaming, and merchandise. Token holders participate in the Milk Mocha DAO, influencing decisions and charitable initiatives. Staking rewards are fixed at 50% APY. The project emphasizes community, utility, and a deflationary model to provide stability in a volatile market.

Nebraska granted the first state charter for a digital asset bank to Telcoin, allowing them to issue stablecoins and attract fintech businesses. Nebraska aims to become a hub for digital asset innovation with this move. However, Wyoming claims it has been a leader in this field for years, having already chartered five digital asset banks, some of which are operational. Wyoming began building its regulatory framework for digital assets in 2017 and sees Nebraska's announcement as late to the game. While Nebraska is proud of its progress, Wyoming has been quietly establishing the underlying infrastructure for U.S. crypto banking. The competition between states could bring job creation and tech partnerships.

The cryptocurrency XRP is potentially predicted to reach a price of $6. Cardano's founder, Charles Hoskinson, has praised both Cardano (ADA) and XRP for their adherence to the ISO 20022 standard, which is related to electronic data interchange between financial institutions. This standard is viewed as a positive factor for both cryptocurrencies.

A recent banking survey indicates continued confidence among institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market. The survey revealed that 55% of these institutions anticipate a positive price movement or "uptick" in the short term. This suggests that despite market volatility, a majority of surveyed institutions maintain a bullish outlook on crypto assets in the immediate future.

HBAR's price has fallen almost 11% in the last week, breaking below a key level that was predicted. Despite the fall, the price movement has been relatively flat in the last 24 hours. There's a possibility that traders betting on further price drops might be caught in a "bear trap," where the price could unexpectedly rise. Data shows sellers have become more active after the price drop, and short positions (bets that the price will fall) are significantly higher than long positions. However, a technical indicator called the Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a potential price reversal. If the price moves back above $0.160, many short positions could be forced to close, potentially driving the price higher. A move above $0.180 would confirm the bear trap. However, if HBAR falls below $0.155, the downtrend is likely to continue.

Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000, and the Bitcoin options market is reacting with increased bearish sentiment. Traders are buying more put options, which are bets that the price will go down, as protection against further losses. This indicates they expect more price drops in the short term. The increased demand for put options is driving up short-term market uncertainty, and the focus is now on $95,000 puts, suggesting traders anticipate Bitcoin could fall to that level. Bitcoin is currently trading around $96,311, down nearly 4% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume also decreasing.

Despite a general downturn in the cryptocurrency market, investment funds focused on Solana (SOL) and XRP have seen new money flowing in. This indicates that some investors are still interested in these specific cryptocurrencies, even as the broader market experiences a decline. The article highlights a divergence in investor sentiment, with Solana and XRP attracting capital while other cryptocurrencies may be facing outflows or stagnation.

The cryptocurrency market has entered a state of 'extreme fear' as Bitcoin has failed to maintain a price level of $100,000. This failure has triggered widespread concern among investors and traders, leading to a negative sentiment across the broader crypto market.

XRP's current price is around $2.45, having risen nearly 9% in the past week. Predictions for XRP's price in 2025 vary widely, with potential scenarios ranging from $1.25 to $4.00, depending on market conditions, regulatory clarity, and adoption rates. A neutral outlook suggests a price between $2.23 and $2.58. Meanwhile, a newer cryptocurrency called MoonBull is generating excitement with its ongoing presale at $0.00008388 per token in Stage 6, having already raised over $600,000. MoonBull's governance system allows token holders to vote on project decisions. The article suggests that while XRP presents a more established investment, MoonBull offers the potential for early-stage gains, both carrying their respective risks.

Despite a general downturn in the crypto market during October, BNB Chain experienced growth, increasing its market capitalization by 6.2%. The overall crypto market cap decreased by 6.1%, with Bitcoin, ADA, and Solana also experiencing drops. BNB Chain's growth was fueled by new market launches and the introduction of tokenized stocks and ETFs. While total value locked (TVL) in DeFi decreased overall, BNB Chain, Solana, and Arbitrum saw growth in their DeFi ecosystems. Stablecoin activity increased as investors sought safer assets. The BNB Chain also introduced stablecoins pegged to the Japanese Yen and Euro. A memecoin frenzy drove a spike in transactions on the BNB Chain, with many new traders profiting initially before prices crashed. The activity on BNB Chain helped the Binance token surpass $1,300, and it remained up 6.6% for the month. Forecasts suggest BNB could potentially reach $2,292 by 2026 in a bullish scenario, but a more conservative long-term average price of $1,090 is also possible.

Elon Musk, known for influencing Dogecoin's price with his social media posts, recently posted a picture related to the meme cryptocurrency. Unlike previous instances, Dogecoin's price did not increase following this post. This lack of positive reaction comes amid a general downturn in the cryptocurrency market, affecting Dogecoin and other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. Despite the current market concerns, the upcoming launch of X Money, a payment system for the social media platform X, offers some potential hope for Dogecoin, especially if it's included as a payment option. Analysts suggest that Dogecoin could decline to $0.14, and potentially even further to $0.10 or $0.07 if it falls below certain support levels. Currently, Dogecoin is trading at $0.16, reflecting a decrease over the last day.

The article discusses 'negative skew' in Bitcoin markets, a situation where investors are paying more for options that protect against price drops than for options that profit from price increases. This indicates a prevailing fear of further price declines among investors. While this can be frustrating for those who believe Bitcoin's price will rise, some analysts suggest that a strong negative skew can sometimes signal that the market is nearing a bottom, as extreme fear often precedes a price reversal.

Kyrgyzstan has halted cryptocurrency mining operations due to electricity shortages during the winter months. The country's president, Sadyr Zhaparov, stated that mining is profitable for Kyrgyzstan and will be allowed to resume in the spring when energy surpluses are available. The decision to suspend mining, which affects facilities in Kemin and at the Kambar-Ata 2 hydroelectric power station, is aimed at conserving energy amid low water levels in reservoirs used for hydroelectric power generation. Despite one mining farm using electricity imported from Russia, all crypto farms have been disconnected. The government plans to increase electricity generation through new hydroelectric power plants and a solar station, and intends to welcome more miners in the future once sufficient power is available. Cryptocurrency mining is suspended until the end of March 2026. Russia has also imposed seasonal bans on mining in some of its regions.

The Bitcoin Fear and Greed Index has fallen to 10, its lowest point in nine months, indicating extreme fear in the cryptocurrency market. This follows a recent price correction where Bitcoin dropped from a high of over $126,000 to as low as $94,000. The index, which was in 'extreme greed' territory just over a month ago, is now suggesting a potential buying opportunity. Some analysts believe that this dip presents a chance for investors to build wealth by capitalizing on the market's fear and purchasing Bitcoin at a lower price.

Tether, the company behind the USDT stablecoin, is reportedly considering investing $1 billion in Neura Robotics, a German robotics startup. This potential investment, reported by the Financial Times, signals Tether's continued diversification into sectors beyond cryptocurrency. If finalized, this would be a significant capital injection for Neura Robotics and could accelerate its development and expansion in the robotics industry.

OKX CEO Star Xu has offered a 10 Bitcoin reward to anyone who can prove the existence of a backdoor in the OKX wallet, following a user's claim of losing 50 Ether. This initiative aims to improve security by encouraging the community to identify vulnerabilities. The announcement comes amid rising awareness of crypto theft. A Chainalysis report indicates that illicit crypto activity is increasing, with thefts in 2025 already surpassing 2024 totals; about 25% of these thefts targeted individual wallets. In related news, malware and phishing attacks are also on the rise, with scammers generating over $1.7 billion this year through these methods. One example involves a compromised printer driver that stole 9.3 Bitcoin, and another highlights how a user lost $2,500 due to a contaminated API link provided by ChatGPT.

The crypto market's direction for the next 45 days will largely depend on upcoming U.S. economic data releases concerning jobs, growth, and inflation. These reports, delayed due to a government shutdown, will shape expectations for potential interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. If the data reveals a weakening economy (rising unemployment, slower growth, or decreasing inflation), it could lead to earlier rate cuts, potentially boosting crypto and stock markets. Conversely, strong economic data may delay rate cuts and increase market volatility. Key dates to watch include November 20 (jobs report), November 26 (GDP and inflation data), December 5 (jobs report), December 10-11 (inflation data), and December 19 (final GDP and spending data). These reports will influence liquidity in the market and whether big investors increase their investments in riskier assets like crypto.

Bitcoin's price has fallen to between $94,000 and $96,000, a level where it previously saw strong buying activity. The market is now at a critical point: if Bitcoin can hold this level, it might lead to a period of stability. However, if it falls below this range, it could drop further to between $80,000 and $82,000. Bitcoin is currently below its 100-day and 200-day moving averages, which are now acting as resistance. Short-term holders who are now at a loss may sell if the price rises to between $105,000 and $110,000, adding to the resistance. On the other hand, longer-term holders who bought Bitcoin six to twelve months ago are still in profit around the $94,000 to $96,000 level, and this area may act as a support. If the price breaks below this support, it could trigger a deeper selloff.

Bitmine Immersion Technologies, a company focused on managing Ethereum, has appointed Chi Tsang as its new CEO, replacing Jonathan Bates. Tsang, the founder of m1720, also joins the board of directors. Additionally, Robert Sechan, Olivia Howe, and Jason Edgeworth have been appointed as new independent board members. The company aims to strengthen its position as a bridge between traditional finance and the cryptocurrency world, leveraging its significant Ethereum holdings. Bitmine currently holds over 3.5 million Ethereum tokens, worth over $11 billion, representing 3% of the total Ethereum supply, with a goal to reach 5% of the free-floating supply. However, Bitmine's stock (BMNR) has seen a decline, falling almost 6% recently, and over 36% in the past month amid decreasing investor interest in digital asset treasuries.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) will release its jobs report on November 20th. This report is important because it influences the Federal Reserve's decision on whether or not to cut interest rates. The uncertainty surrounding this decision is ongoing.

Tesla is asking its suppliers in the United States to stop using parts made in China for its vehicles. This move is driven by concerns about tariffs, trade policy uncertainty between the U.S. and China, the desire to strengthen its supply chain after pandemic-related disruptions, and overall tensions between Washington and Beijing. Tesla has already replaced some China-made components and plans to phase out the rest in the next one to two years. Other automakers like General Motors are giving similar instructions to their suppliers, aiming to reduce dependence on China by 2027. Replacing these parts will be challenging and potentially more expensive, as China dominates the battery material industry and some components are difficult to substitute. Tesla may need to find alternative suppliers in North America, Southeast Asia, or elsewhere, and this could impact the quality and production speed of its electric vehicles.

Bitcoin's price has declined, falling below $95,000, even after the end of the U.S. government shutdown. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index hit a low of 10, indicating extreme fear in the market. Bitcoin has dropped nearly 1.5% in the last 24 hours and over 6.3% in the past week, leading some analysts to declare it is in a bear market with a decline of more than 20% in less than a month. Recent ETF outflows contributed to the negative sentiment. Some analysts suggest the situation may not be as dire as previous downturns, noting positive divergences in sentiment despite lower prices. Others point to technical chart patterns suggesting a potential bullish reversal. Contradictory indicators are present, with some citing recent ETF inflows as bullish, while others highlight significant outflows. Chances of a near-term interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve are slipping, adding to market uncertainty.

JPMorgan has announced that Bitcoin's price has likely reached its lowest point. The investment bank forecasts that Bitcoin will begin to compete more directly with gold as an investment asset in the coming year. This suggests a potential increase in Bitcoin's value as investors may start seeing it as a similar safe haven to gold.

The article discusses a new approach to productivity called "AI ghost apps," which are custom AI systems built using large language models (LLMs) to automate repetitive tasks. These apps don't require traditional coding or complex software development. Instead, they are created by providing the LLM with clear instructions and relevant reference materials, enabling it to perform specific tasks with high accuracy. The key is narrowing the scope of the task to ensure consistent quality. Examples include automating lead qualification, summarizing notes, drafting proposals, assessing risk, and generating follow-up plans. Users reported time savings that accumulate to weeks per year by automating these tasks. The author emphasizes that the value lies in the clarity of the instructions and the ability to refine the AI's output over time, effectively turning personal judgment into automated processes.

Zcash (ZEC), a cryptocurrency focused on privacy, has significantly increased in value, rising by 1,500% in the last three months, even as the broader crypto market has struggled. This surge has pushed Zcash into the top 20 cryptocurrencies with a market capitalization of approximately $11 billion and a price of $677. The increase is attributed to Zcash's advances in privacy technology, allowing for anonymous transactions while maintaining blockchain integrity. This has sparked debate between supporters of Bitcoin, which offers pseudo-anonymity, and advocates of privacy coins like Zcash, especially in light of regulatory concerns and the potential for outright bans, highlighting the tension between privacy and compliance. Zcash attempts to address this by offering both anonymity and selective transparency features, potentially influencing the future of privacy in blockchain technology.

Recent on-chain data indicates a potential bullish signal for Bitcoin and Ethereum on the Binance exchange. Over the past week, $1.77 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum have been withdrawn from Binance, with Bitcoin outflows at $1.1 billion and Ethereum at $670 million. Simultaneously, $1.58 billion in stablecoins, primarily USDT ($900 million) and USDC ($680 million), have flowed into Binance. This combination of Bitcoin and Ethereum outflows alongside stablecoin inflows has historically preceded price recoveries. The current market sentiment is fearful, but the data suggests that major market participants are accumulating assets. As of writing, Bitcoin is trading around $96,133, down 1.33%, and Ethereum is valued at $3,153, down 1.53%.

Bitcoin's price is dropping, with $94,000 identified as the next key support level. This level is historically significant as a consolidation zone and could trigger a price bounce. The drop has pushed Bitcoin's RSI into oversold territory, potentially attracting buyers. Large Bitcoin holders, including BlackRock, have been selling off significant amounts of Bitcoin and Ethereum. Despite the overall selling pressure, there's increasing demand from whales, who have acquired around $120 million in Bitcoin in the last 24 hours, suggesting a possible price turnaround. Short-term sellers are mainly responsible for the recent price decline. Bitcoin's fall below $100,000 triggered substantial liquidations of long positions. The current market situation suggests that if Bitcoin bounces back above $100,000, short sellers could face significant liquidations, as the liquidation map shows a higher risk for short positions compared to long positions at the $94,000 level.

The article discusses three altcoins, Filecoin (FIL), Toncoin (TON), and Hedera (HBAR), that are considered undervalued and have strong potential for growth in 2025. Filecoin is a decentralized storage marketplace, with price predictions ranging from $1.75 to $4.2. Toncoin is integrated with Telegram as a consumer payment system, with price predictions from $1.82 to $10. Hedera is an enterprise-grade network for tokenization and other applications, with price predictions from $0.50 to $1.60. These altcoins are highlighted because they offer real-world utility in decentralized storage, consumer payments, and enterprise tokenization and are benefiting from institutional adoption. The article suggests that investors are shifting towards infrastructure assets with real-world demand rather than speculative assets.

Thai police arrested over 15 foreign nationals in Bangkok for allegedly running a cryptocurrency scam. The individuals, from Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Ukraine, were caught operating a website that lured victims into fraudulent digital asset investments. Authorities seized computers, phones, and scripts detailing their methods. This raid is part of a larger crackdown by the Thai government on crypto-related crimes. In a separate case, Thai police, working with Tether, recovered $12 million linked to a transnational scam. The Thai government has seized over $432,000 in digital assets and reimbursed victims in previous operations. The United States has also formed a joint task force to combat crypto scams targeting Americans in Southeast Asia, where Americans have lost over $9 billion to such schemes.

The crypto market is shifting towards projects with real-world utility, leading investors to consider Digitap ($TAP) as a potential contender to reach $1. Digitap offers an omnibank app that allows users to manage both crypto and fiat currencies, with features like Visa-backed cards, international transactions, and low remittance fees. The app is already live and has undergone security audits. Currently in presale at $0.0313, analysts project it could reach $1 by 2026, offering a potential 33x return if it reaches 1 billion users. Meanwhile, MoonBull (MOBU) and BullZilla (BZIL), both meme-coin projects with added features like staking and token burning, are struggling to attract investors seeking practical applications, making Digitap a potentially attractive option at its current discounted price.

Crypto markets are still experiencing low liquidity following a price crash in October. This means there aren't enough buyers and sellers readily available to execute trades without significantly impacting the price. As a result, the market is vulnerable to sudden and large price swings, as even relatively small trading volumes can trigger substantial changes in value.

Crypto markets have been correcting recently, and traders are awaiting economic data releases over the next 45 days to determine if a rally is possible. Key reports include the delayed September jobs report on November 20, which will influence expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts based on unemployment levels. November 26 brings Q3 GDP updates and reports on personal income, spending, and inflation which will reveal economic growth and wage changes. December 5 features the November Non-Farm Payrolls report, indicating the pace of job growth. Inflation data arrives December 10 and 11 with the November CPI and PPI reports, shaping monetary policy expectations for early 2026. Further economic data on December 19 includes final Q3 GDP, November personal income and spending, and existing home sales, offering a comprehensive view of the economy. This data will influence the Federal Reserve's actions, potentially impacting market liquidity and investor confidence in riskier assets like crypto, with the possibility of a Bitcoin rebound toward new all-time highs in early 2026 if the data favors risk-on assets.

Nevin Shetty, the former CFO of a private software company, has been convicted of wire fraud for misappropriating $35 million from his employer. In March 2021, Shetty became CFO of the company and was involved in creating an investment policy that restricted investments to low-risk markets. However, in February 2022, Shetty founded HighTower Treasury, a cryptocurrency investment platform, with a partner and transferred $35 million of the company's funds to it without informing other executives or board members. Shetty invested the funds in a high-yield DeFi lending protocol promising a 20% interest rate, planning to remit 6% to the company while HighTower Treasury kept the remaining 14%. While initially profitable, the investment quickly lost value, reaching zero by May 13, 2022. Shetty was subsequently fired and reported to the FBI, leading to an investigation and his conviction on four counts of wire fraud on November 7, 2025. Sentencing is scheduled for February 11, 2026, with each count carrying a maximum prison sentence of 20 years, though the final sentence will be determined by the US Sentencing Guidelines.

XRP's price has decreased by almost 8% in the past week, and despite some short-term investors buying more XRP, the price continues to face downward pressure. Data shows that short-term holders, specifically those holding XRP for less than 13 months, have increased their holdings in the past month. However, long-term holders are selling their XRP aggressively, with outflows increasing significantly in November. This selling pressure from long-term holders is overwhelming the buying activity from short-term investors, preventing the price from increasing. XRP is struggling to break above $2.26, and the Chaikin Money Flow indicates that money is leaving the market. If the price falls below $2.17, it could move toward $2.06. A daily close above $2.38 is needed to potentially move toward $2.57.

The article discusses potential profits for Shiba Inu (SHIB) investors. Specifically, it focuses on individuals who own 1 billion SHIB tokens and how much they could gain if the token's price reaches half of its all-time high value. The article notes that Shiba Inu has largely decreased in value during 2025.

The crypto world is watching two presales, LivLive ($LIVE) and Pepenode ($PEPENODE), to see which might be a leader in Q4 2025. LivLive rewards users for real-world activities like walking and checking into places, earning them $LIVE tokens and other perks. In its stage 1 presale, it raised over $2.1 million at $0.02 per token, with stage 2 at $0.04 and a locked launch price of $0.25. The project uses augmented reality and AI to personalize tasks. Investors can use EARLY100 code to get 100% more tokens and BONUS200 to get 200% more coins. Pepenode combines meme culture with virtual mining, letting users build and upgrade virtual mining nodes to earn $PEPENODE tokens. The starting presale price is $0.001, with a total supply of 210 billion tokens, and it uses a burn mechanism to reduce supply. The article suggests LivLive might be better for long-term value due to its real-world utility, while Pepenode could be attractive for those seeking high yield and meme excitement.

The U.S. Mint has stopped producing pennies after 232 years, a move expected to save approximately $56 million annually because it costs 3.7 cents to make each one. The discontinuation of the penny is partly due to inflation, as its purchasing power has significantly decreased since its introduction. Bitcoin proponents are highlighting this event as a demonstration of the declining value of fiat currency compared to Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins. They argue that Bitcoin's controlled issuance preserves value, unlike the penny, which has become economically unviable. The retirement of the penny coincides with the increasing adoption of digital payments and serves as a reminder of the diminishing purchasing power of the U.S. dollar, potentially strengthening the case for alternative currencies like Bitcoin.

BTCS reported a substantial $65.59 million net income for the third quarter, primarily driven by $73.72 million in unrealized gains from its Ethereum holdings. The company's revenue reached a record $4.94 million for the quarter, a 568% increase year-over-year, and $9.38 million for the first nine months of the year, up 436% year-over-year. This financial success is attributed to BTCS's Ethereum-focused strategy, including the introduction of an Ethereum dividend and a share buyback program. The company now holds 70,322 ETH. These initiatives also led to a significant decrease in short interest on BTCS shares, dropping from 5.56 million to under 1 million. Currently, Ethereum is trading around $3,183, facing potential downward pressure. A drop below $3,146 could lead to a further decline towards $3,000-$2,900, while reclaiming the $3,409 resistance level could shift momentum.

Ethereum ETFs are experiencing significant outflows, with over $1.1 billion leaving these funds in the past week. While Ethereum's price is around $3,207 with a market cap of $389 billion and a substantial daily trading volume of over $54 billion, retail investors are showing increased interest in Remittix (RTX). Remittix is a payments-focused cryptocurrency priced under $1, having already sold over 685 million tokens at $0.1166, raising over $28.1 million. It aims to facilitate global payments and has been audited by CertiK. The project features a live wallet beta, CEX listings, a 15% USDT referral reward, and a $250,000 community giveaway. Remittix is being viewed as an alternative to Ethereum for retail traders due to its low gas fees and potential for high growth in the payments sector.

Tesla has released a safety report detailing collision rates for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, responding to criticisms about data transparency from Waymo's co-CEO. Tesla claims that, in North America, drivers using FSD experience a major collision roughly every 5 million miles and a minor collision every 1.5 million miles. This is compared to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data, interpreted by Tesla, which indicates major collisions occur every 699,000 miles and minor collisions every 299,000 miles on average. The report also defines major collisions as those involving airbag deployment and other non-reversible restraints, and includes crashes where FSD was active within five seconds prior to the event. Waymo, a competitor in the robotaxi market, has also published data showing its vehicles are significantly safer than human drivers.

Bitcoin's price drop to $96,000 has resulted in 99% of investors who purchased Bitcoin in the last 155 days holding it at a loss. Despite the price decline and Bitcoin's correlation with the Nasdaq, institutions are showing increased interest. A $1 trillion AUM bank is briefing advisors on Bitcoin, and Harvard has Bitcoin exposure as its largest position. The UAE's sovereign wealth fund Al Warda has increased its Bitcoin ETF exposure by 230% since June 2025. On-chain analysis suggests that selling pressure is primarily coming from existing Bitcoin holders.

Bitcoin's price has dropped, falling below $100,000 and continuing its decline. According to XWIN Research, several factors contribute to this: decreased expectations for the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates soon, a reversal in investment flows into Bitcoin ETFs (meaning investors are withdrawing money), and excessive risky trading that led to large losses. If Bitcoin breaks below the $92,000-$94,000 support level, it could fall to around $85,000 and the price correction might last until early or mid-2026. However, on-chain data suggests that if Bitcoin stays above $94,000, the long-term positive outlook remains. Improvement in macro conditions like rate cuts or liquidity expansion in 2026 would help the price recover. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $94,930, down nearly 4% in the last 24 hours.

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing presale fatigue due to many projects failing to deliver after raising funds. Investors are becoming more cautious, favoring projects with clear utility and timelines. XRP Tundra is gaining attention by offering a staking program launching shortly after its presale ends in January 2026. This program features three tiers of fixed Annual Percentage Yields (APY): 46% with no lock period, 812% with a 30-day lock, and 1520% with a 90-day lock. The presale involves TUNDRA-S tokens priced at $0.183 with a 9% bonus and includes free TUNDRA-X tokens valued at $0.0915. TUNDRA-S will be airdropped to Solana wallets and TUNDRA-X to XRPL wallets, with unsold tokens being burned. The project has undergone audits and KYC verification to enhance trust and transparency.

The Internet Computer (ICP) token is experiencing a significant price drop, falling approximately 45% this week from $9.45 to $5.27. This decline is attributed to bearish market sentiment, with many investors selling off their holdings, resulting in substantial liquidations of long positions. On-chain data shows a sharp decrease in transaction volumes and the number of transactions, indicating reduced user activity. Despite the current price weakness, the number of smart contracts on the Internet Computer network has grown significantly since the start of the year, suggesting continued adoption and long-term potential. Some analysts predict that ICP could potentially fall as low as $1 before a possible recovery, while a strong market catalyst in late 2025 could lead to a rebound towards $15 by the end of that year. The overall outlook suggests limited price increases in the near term, but positive developments in the ICP ecosystem could lead to growth in 2026.

The article discusses Ripple (XRP) and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) as potential investment opportunities. XRP is showing a technical pattern suggesting it could rise from its current price of around $2.53 toward a range of $6 to $10 if it breaks past a key resistance level. Mutuum Finance is in its presale phase, with Phase 6 being 90% filled at a price of $0.035 per token, up from $0.01 in Phase 1, with 17,950 holders participating so far. The V1 protocol of Mutuum Finance is set to debut on the Sepolia testnet in Q4 2025, and investors can now purchase MUTM tokens directly using credit or debit cards. The protocol supports stablecoins like USDT, which can provide stability within its DeFi ecosystem. The presale has raised $18,700,000 since its beginning.

This article provides price predictions for NEM (XEM) for the years 2025, 2026, and 2030. Currently, XEM is trading around $0.0012. The article suggests that by 2025, XEM could potentially reach a high of $0.00253125, but could also drop as low as $0.00084375, with an average price of $0.00168750. For 2026, the predicted high is $0.00380, with a potential low of $0.00127 and an average of $0.00253.

These predictions are based on factors such as network adoption, technological advancements, and market conditions. Other firms have provided longer term analysis with much higher estimates, such as Changelly predicting $0.211 by 2030.

Google plans to invest over $15 billion in Andhra Pradesh, India, over the next five years to build a data center. This project, located in Visakhapatnam, is Google's largest investment in India and aims to support the local AI industry. Andhra Pradesh has already secured 5.5 GW of data center projects from companies like Reliance and intends to increase its green energy production to support these projects. While this investment is expected to boost Andhra Pradesh's economy and create jobs, there are concerns about the impact on India's water and electricity resources. India is projected to lead in data consumption by 2028 but currently accounts for only 3% of global data center capacity. By 2030, data centers in India are projected to consume 358 billion liters of water, potentially worsening water shortages.

Stellar's XLM cryptocurrency has dropped in value from $0.52 to $0.26. Grayscale, a digital asset management firm, holds over 116 million XLM, having accumulated a large amount before a significant price increase but has stopped buying more recently. Despite the price decrease, Stellar's ecosystem is growing, with developer growth up 37% and $654 million in real-world assets tokenized on the network. The Blockchain Payments Consortium, involving major crypto players, aims to improve blockchain payment standards. While Stellar's underlying technology and adoption are improving, negative market sentiment is currently suppressing XLM's price. Shares of the Grayscale Stellar Lumens Trust (GXLM) trade at a 10-15% premium over NAV.

An AI application called 2Wai, created by a former Disney actor and a producer, is facing public backlash for its HoloAvatar feature. This feature allows users to create interactive AI replicas of deceased loved ones from uploaded media, enabling conversations in multiple languages. The application, intended for legacy preservation, has been compared to a Black Mirror episode and criticized for potentially exploiting grief. A promotional video showing the AI avatar advising a pregnant woman and later reading to her child has drawn millions of views and sparked debate. 2Wai uses Fed rain technology to process interactions on-device, aiming to protect user privacy and reduce AI errors. The company raised $5 million in preseed funding and is working with British Telecom and IBM. While currently in free beta, 2Wai plans to move to a subscription model. Legal experts have pointed out that these death bots exist in a legal and ethical gray area, with concerns about data privacy, ownership of digital avatars, and the need for post-mortem safeguards. The application includes opt-in requirements and family approvals for deceased avatars, but some remain skeptical about enforcement.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below $95,000, reaching its lowest point since May, which is also impacting Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin is currently testing a critical support level between $93,900 and $92,800. A drop below this range could lead to further price declines. If Bitcoin can rise above $100,300, it could signal a short-term recovery, with further resistance expected between $101,600 and $106,300. Traders are watching the weekly close and trading volume to determine the market's direction. A break below the support range could trigger more selling, while holding above it would maintain Bitcoin's current structure.

During the third quarter of 2025, several major hedge funds on Wall Street reduced their investments in prominent tech companies like Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta. This shift occurred while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indexes were rising. Some firms, including Bridgewater Associates, significantly decreased their Nvidia and Alphabet holdings while increasing investments in software and online platform companies such as Adobe, Dynatrace, and Etsy. Bridgewater also invested in Fiserv before the payment company's stock value drastically dropped following a disappointing earnings report. Other funds like Lone Pine Capital and Tiger Global substantially reduced their Meta holdings. Coatue Management slightly lowered its Nvidia stake, while Balyasny Asset Management increased its Apple holdings. Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, established a new $4.3 billion stake in Alphabet, even while reducing its Apple position. Overall, the data suggests a move away from some of the most popular tech stocks and a shift towards other sectors.

Arthur Hayes has made a prediction that Zcash (ZEC) could potentially outperform XRP in the cryptocurrency market. This statement comes as Zcash has experienced a significant price increase of 45%. The article highlights this bold claim made by Hayes amidst ZEC's recent market activity.

Chainlink's price has fallen to around $14, reaching a long-term upward trendline that has historically triggered price rebounds since mid-2023. This trendline now coincides with the lower boundary of a short-term descending channel. If Chainlink holds above this trendline, it could potentially bounce back to the mid-$20s. However, if the trendline is broken, the price could fall further towards the $11-$12 range. Traders are closely watching this level as it represents a significant support area for Chainlink.

Ripple, the company behind XRP, is warning investors about a significant increase in scam attempts targeting XRP holders. These scams often involve fake live videos on platforms like YouTube that promise to double XRP tokens sent to a specific address, which is a fraudulent scheme. This surge in scams is likely linked to the recent conclusion of the Swell conference and the launch of a spot XRP ETF in the US. Ripple emphasizes that they will never ask users to send them XRP and urges investors to be cautious. The increased attention surrounding XRP due to the ETF launch, which saw high trading volumes and substantial net inflows on its first day, may have also attracted scammers looking to exploit the heightened interest.

Google is preparing to launch its new AI model, Gemini 3, before the end of the year. Rumors suggest a potential unveiling next week. Some users are reporting that testing may already be underway through the Canvas feature in the Gemini mobile app. The new model is expected to have improved coding and multimedia generation capabilities, possibly including the Nano Banana image tool. This move comes as Google aims to compete with other AI companies and address concerns about overvaluation in the AI sector. Google is also investing heavily in AI data centers, including a $40 billion investment in Texas and $6.6 billion in Europe, along with a 15-year renewable energy agreement.

Harvard University's endowment significantly increased its investment in the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) during the third quarter, raising its stake by 257% to approximately $442.8 million as of September 30th. This makes IBIT Harvard's largest disclosed single holding in its 13F filing, surpassing even major technology holdings. Concurrently, Harvard nearly doubled its holdings in the GLD gold ETF to around $235 million. This simultaneous increase in both Bitcoin and gold ETFs suggests a broader strategy to diversify into alternative assets. This move by Harvard, a prominent institutional investor, is viewed as a potentially influential signal to other asset managers regarding the growing acceptance of Bitcoin ETFs, despite recent volatility and outflows in the crypto market. It also points to a blended approach of growth potential with digital assets and inflation/macro risk hedging with gold.

This week in crypto, the U.S. government shutdown ended, allowing regulatory agencies like the SEC and CFTC to resume operations. The SEC is considering a new way to classify crypto tokens to clarify which ones are securities. Bitcoin's price dropped below $95,000, causing market sentiment to reach an 'Extreme Fear' level. Canary Capital's new XRP ETF had a strong launch, exceeding the first-day trading volume of other ETFs this year. China accused the U.S. of seizing $13 billion in stolen Bitcoin, escalating tensions between the two countries. The Czech central bank invested $1 million in Bitcoin and other digital assets for testing purposes. The CFTC is planning to approve leveraged crypto trading in the U.S. as early as next month. Ethereum is preparing for the Fusaka Upgrade on December 3, which will increase network capacity. BNY Mellon launched a reserve fund for stablecoin issuers to comply with the GENIUS Act. Rumors that Michael Saylor's company sold Bitcoin were denied, with the company actually buying more this month. Visa is testing USDC stablecoin payouts, JPMorgan launched JPM Coin on Coinbase's Base network, and Canary Capital applied to launch a meme coin ETF. Sygnum's survey indicates institutions plan to increase crypto allocations, and Grayscale filed for an NYSE IPO.

Experts have made projections about XRP's potential future price, suggesting it could reach between $700 and $1,000. Despite the ambitious nature of these predictions, some analysts believe that if the overall cryptocurrency market improves, XRP, which is currently trading around $0.22, could experience significant growth.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest increased its investments in BitMine, Circle, and Bullish shares as crypto markets experienced a downturn. The ARK Fintech Innovation ETF, ARK Next Generation Internet ETF, and ARK Innovation ETF collectively purchased 169,407 BitMine shares and 75,515 Bullish shares. These purchases followed recent acquisitions of Circle stock, totaling 542,269 shares over the past week, representing an investment of roughly $46 million. These moves come even as Bullish and BitMine stocks faced selling pressure, with both down approximately 6% and Circle down 40% over the past month. Circle's recent Q3 earnings report showed revenue growth of 66% and a net income surge of 202%. BitMine also appointed a new CEO and added new board members, holding over 3.5 million ETH. The purchases signify ARK Invest's belief in the long-term growth potential of the crypto and blockchain industry.

Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad, is holding onto his Bitcoin despite its recent price drop to around $94,000, a six-month low. He's not selling because he believes the world's high debt levels will eventually make assets like Bitcoin, gold, silver, and Ethereum more valuable as traditional currencies potentially decline. While he's not selling now, Kiyosaki plans to buy more Bitcoin in the future, but only after the current price decline stabilizes. He emphasizes the limited supply of Bitcoin (21 million) as a key reason for its value and encourages people to learn about finance.

Zcash (ZEC), Aster (ASTR), and Litecoin (LTC) are experiencing price increases today. The article highlights that ZEC's rise is likely linked to increasing privacy concerns and a potential upgrade to its network. Aster's price jump is attributed to growing interest in its decentralized applications (dApps) and its interoperability features. Litecoin's price increase may be related to positive sentiment surrounding its upcoming halving event, which reduces the reward for mining new blocks, potentially decreasing supply.

Travis Ford, CEO of Wolf Capital Crypto Trading, was sentenced to almost five years in prison by the US Department of Justice for running a $9.4 million Ponzi scheme. Ford promised investors unrealistic daily returns of 1% to 2%, but instead used the funds for personal gain. The DOJ highlighted that this case is part of a larger trend of increasing crypto fraud, particularly from scam networks operating in Southeast Asia. These syndicates often use cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum to launder money. The US government is intensifying efforts to combat these crimes, including the establishment of a Scam Center Strike Force and the seizure of billions in Bitcoin.

China is introducing new anti-monopoly rules targeting internet platforms, aiming to prevent unfair pricing, account blocking, and data-driven discrimination. These rules clarify what constitutes market dominance and restrict platforms from exploiting their size and data to control sellers or users. The move occurs amidst China's economic adjustments and trade tensions with the U.S. China also plans to expand fiscal tools, including government spending and borrowing, to stabilize its economy amidst global volatility, focusing on technology, manufacturing, and domestic consumption. Meanwhile, in the U.S., a bipartisan committee has accused China of manipulating global mineral prices, particularly for lithium and rare earths, to benefit its manufacturing sector. They recommend price controls and oversight of price reporting agencies, while China denies these allegations, stating its support for stable global supply chains. The committee emphasizes the need for multiple policy steps to address U.S. vulnerability in critical minerals, as China's control impacts various industries, including electric vehicles and crypto mining.

XRP's price is currently around $2.25, slightly down over the last day, with a market capitalization of about $135.4 billion and daily trading volume exceeding $5.3 billion. A significant development is the launch of the Canary XRP ETF (XRPC), the first U.S.-listed ETF providing direct exposure to XRP. This ETF aims to make XRP more accessible to both individual and institutional investors. Despite this positive news, XRP has struggled to surpass the $2.50 resistance level, facing selling pressure. XRP's price is fluctuating within a symmetrical triangle pattern. A drop below $2.21 could lead to further decline towards $2.07 and $1.92, while a rise above $2.33 might trigger a rally towards $2.52 and $2.68. Another project, Bitcoin Hyper, is launching with a presale exceeding $27 million and offers Solana-level speed for Bitcoin-based applications and smart contracts.

Despite a generally weak crypto market in November, three US-based cryptocurrencies, Litecoin (LTC), Solana (SOL), and Chainlink (LINK), are showing potential for a rebound. Litecoin has shown resilience due to its negative correlation with Bitcoin and is forming a bullish chart pattern, with a potential upside target of $135 if it breaks above $119 and holds above $93. Solana is indicating a possible short-term reversal based on a bullish RSI divergence; breaking above $162 could lead to a move towards $170, with a potential to reach $205, but support must hold at $135. Chainlink is also showing a bullish RSI divergence and has seen increased buying activity from large investors (whales), with a potential target of $17.57 if it reclaims $16.10 and can possibly reach $21.64, but support must hold at $13.72.

The New York Fed, led by John Williams, held an urgent meeting with top Wall Street banks to address concerns about rising short-term borrowing costs in the repo market. This market is crucial for daily liquidity, where high-quality assets are exchanged for short-term cash. The Fed is worried because the triparty repo rate, a key indicator, has been exceeding the Fed's target range. This is happening because banks have less spare cash after years of quantitative tightening, and they become even more cautious near the year's end. The Fed wants banks to use the standing repo facility, which is designed to keep rates within the target range, but banks are hesitant. They fear being perceived as financially weak if they use the facility, which creates a cycle of rising rates and reluctance to use the tool, making it difficult for the Fed to control short-term borrowing costs.
