Solana's price decreased by 4.9%, falling below a significant support level. This drop is happening while Alameda Research, a company associated with the bankrupt FTX exchange, is unlocking and potentially selling off its Solana holdings. The market is reacting negatively to the increased supply of Solana tokens entering circulation from Alameda's unlock.

The cryptocurrency market experienced a rapid decline, losing $120 billion in value within a few hours. This drop was triggered by a combination of factors, including a more cautious stance from the Federal Reserve regarding future economic stimulus, rising real yields, and a strengthening U.S. dollar, which led investors to move away from riskier assets like crypto. Technical breakdowns in the market, such as Bitcoin falling below key support levels, activated further selling. Additionally, the liquidation of leveraged positions, where traders had borrowed funds to increase their investment size, amplified the losses. Institutional investors withdrawing funds from crypto ETFs also contributed to the downturn, which is part of a broader sell-off in risk assets linked to global economic concerns.

Bitcoin's price has dropped below $102,000. This decrease is attributed to soft demand in the United States and uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's potential decision to lower interest rates in December. The Fed is currently divided on whether or not to implement a rate cut.

Stellar's XLM cryptocurrency is currently trading within a narrow price range, indicating a lack of strong buying or selling pressure. This sideways movement suggests that traders are uncertain about the future direction of XLM's price. The article highlights this period of indecision in the market for Stellar's cryptocurrency.

A potential deal to end the U.S. government shutdown could slow down the approval of new crypto ETFs, specifically those for XRP, LINK, and DOGE. During the shutdown, the SEC was operating with a reduced staff, potentially allowing ETF applications to be approved automatically if not reviewed in time. The Canary XRP ETF is reportedly close to launching, having filed a key form with Nasdaq. Bitwise is also preparing ETFs for DOGE and Chainlink (LINK), with the LINK ETF already listed on the DTCC system. Over 155 crypto ETF filings have been submitted since 2024, with Solana, Bitcoin and XRP leading the way. If the shutdown ends quickly, the SEC will return to full review mode, potentially delaying the approval of these ETFs, which could impact the prices of the underlying cryptocurrencies.

Arthur Hayes has provided guidance to holders of Zcash (ZEC), a cryptocurrency focused on privacy. The article centers on Hayes' advice related to ZEC and the broader push for privacy within the cryptocurrency space. The specific nature of his advice is detailed in the article, focusing on what ZEC holders should consider given current market trends and the increasing demand for crypto privacy solutions. He probably is advising on how to position themselves in the market

Bitcoin is struggling, having fallen below $102,000 after failing to stay above $104,000. If it drops below $102,000, it could fall further to $98,000. To recover, Bitcoin needs to rise above $104,000-$106,000 soon. Ethereum is also weak, trading below $3,700 after a brief recovery. A strong close above $3,700 is needed for recovery, otherwise it may fall towards $2,800. Altcoins are mixed, generally moving sideways and waiting for Bitcoin and Ethereum to show clear direction. The next few days are crucial: if Bitcoin and Ethereum hold current support levels, the market may stabilize. Key levels to watch are above $104,000 for Bitcoin and above $3,700 for Ethereum.

The cryptocurrency BONK experienced a 5% price decrease, falling to $0.00001223. This decline occurred after the price failed to surpass a significant resistance level, indicating selling pressure at that point.

The SEC Chairman introduced Project Crypto, a new framework aiming to clarify crypto regulation in the U.S. The initiative distinguishes between different types of tokens, suggesting that network, collectible, and utility tokens may not always be treated as securities, unlike tokenized stocks and bonds. A key point is that tokens sold initially as part of a securities offering won't automatically be considered securities forever, especially as networks mature and initial promises are met. Project Crypto intends to streamline capital raising for crypto projects and provide clarity on where tokens can be traded. The goal is to establish clear rules for builders and investors, rooted in existing legal tests, while maintaining strict enforcement against fraud and misrepresentation. The chairman supports allowing tokens that started as investment contracts to eventually trade on non-SEC platforms once the securities phase concludes and the network becomes self-sufficient. The SEC will continue to coordinate with other regulatory bodies and supports new legislation to solidify the crypto market framework.

The Sui blockchain has launched its native stablecoin, USDsui. This stablecoin is accessible through the Bridges Open Issuance Platform. The launch introduces a new stablecoin option within the Sui ecosystem, aiming to facilitate transactions and other activities within the network.

Anthropic is investing $50 billion to construct AI data centers in the United States, starting with locations in Texas and New York, with plans to be operational by 2026. This project, in partnership with Fluidstack, aims to support the training and operation of Anthropic's AI models at a large scale, targeting enterprise clients and fulfilling the demand for domestic compute power. The initiative is expected to create 800 permanent jobs and over 2,000 construction roles. This expansion comes as Anthropic's competitor, OpenAI, is also heavily investing in AI infrastructure, raising questions about the capacity of the power grid and construction industry to support such growth. Anthropic currently supports over 300,000 businesses, with significant revenue growth from its enterprise accounts. Amazon has already opened an $11 billion data center campus in Indiana exclusively for Anthropic. Simultaneously, a debate is emerging regarding government funding for the AI infrastructure buildout, with OpenAI requesting tax credits and government support, which has faced some resistance.

Institutional investors have been consistently buying Solana (SOL) Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) for the past two weeks, leading to speculation about a potential price increase. US Spot Solana ETFs have seen a total net inflow of $350.47 million in less than two weeks. Bitwise's BSOL ETF accounts for the majority of these inflows, with $331.74 million, while Grayscale's GSOL ETF contributed $18.72 million. The daily net inflow for Solana ETFs reached $7.98 million, higher than the previous day. Grayscale has announced that options trading for its Solana Trust ETF will be available and offer 100% staking, zero fees, and an average staking rewards rate exceeding 7%.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson announced plans to boost the Cardano ecosystem, aiming for a total value locked (TVL) of over $1 billion by the end of 2026. A key part of this plan involves "RealFi," focusing on micro-lending and real-world credit applications, especially in regions like Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. Hoskinson also highlighted Midnight, a privacy-focused layer-2 solution, designed to improve Cardano's functionality and generate ADA usage. Midnight is being designed to interact with multiple blockchains, including Ethereum and Solana. The initiative also includes expanding into Bitcoin DeFi, having sourced over 24,000 BTC and developing yield products. Hoskinson is working towards trustless bridging between Cardano and other chains like Bitcoin, claiming Midnight can process 5,000 transactions per second. Furthermore, he plans to recruit 500 Midnight ambassadors in 2026, along with incentives, to drive usage of Midnight's DeFi capabilities and increase cross-chain transactions. At the time of the announcement, ADA was trading at $0.59.

The article discusses three cryptocurrency projects: Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP), XRP, and Hyperliquid (HYPE). XRP is gaining attention due to potential ETF filings, with several firms preparing for launches possibly as early as November 2025, while Hyperliquid's price has been fluctuating, driven by whale accumulation amid upcoming token unlocks. Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) is presented as a project focused on providing privacy for AI computation, particularly for the healthcare and finance sectors, with $100 million already invested in infrastructure and $17 million in hardware. The ZKP whitelist is open, and daily auctions will distribute 200 million ZKP coins accepting ETH, USDC, and other currencies. ZKP emphasizes real-world utility over market speculation, contrasting it with XRP and HYPE, which are described as market-driven opportunities.

CleanSpark (CLSK), a Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure company, is currently trading around $14.05, up 48.6% year-to-date but down 20.3% from a year ago. Historically, after a strong rally, the stock price cools off before another rise. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests a possible bottoming out, with similar patterns preceding rebounds in the past. CleanSpark's price movement is closely tied to Bitcoin's, and a Bitcoin correction below $100,000 could signal a bottom for CLSK as well. A key metric, the Bitcoin Net Unrealized Profit (NUP), also indicates easing selling pressure. A recent $1.15 billion convertible note offering has put short-term pressure on the stock, although the company plans to use the proceeds for a stock buyback at $15.03 per share and data center expansion. If Bitcoin strengthens towards $150,000 and the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) climbs above zero, CleanSpark's price could challenge $22.61. On the weekly chart, CleanSpark is trading within a flag and pole pattern, and as long as it holds above $9.62, a breakout above $22.61 could lead to a target of around $56.9 by mid-to-late 2026.

The Digitap ($TAP) crypto presale is gaining traction, having sold over 110 million tokens and raised over $1.7 million. Digitap's omni-bank model, which combines traditional finance with cryptocurrency, is attracting both retail and institutional investors. The project emphasizes its live app, available on Android and iOS, and its focus on providing financial services. The platform provides 124% APY. Competitors like BlockDAG, a mining-based project, are seeing institutional money shift away due to concerns about transparency, energy costs, and limited financial integration. BlockDAG's claimed $435 million presale raise is also being questioned. LivLive, an augmented reality gaming presale, faces scalability challenges and relies heavily on user participation, making its token economy unpredictable. Digitap distinguishes itself by allowing users to manage both digital assets and fiat payments through a zero-KYC account. The platform plans to allocate 50% of its profits to token burns and staking rewards, aiming to create value tied to its financial performance. It highlights its smart contract audits and Visa partnership. Digitap's presale offers an 80% discount compared to its listing price of $0.14.

Zcash (ZEC) experienced significant volatility, fluctuating between $460 and $472 after a surge to $723 and subsequent 37% drop. The Winklevoss twins launched the first Zcash Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) through Cypherpunk Technologies, investing $50 million to purchase 203,775 ZEC at an average price of $245. This move reflects growing institutional interest in privacy coins amid increasing concerns about on-chain surveillance, with Zcash emerging as a Bitcoin alternative. Zcash's shielded pool supply has grown substantially, and analysts are observing its technical price movements, suggesting potential for further gains if certain resistance levels are broken. Separately, a virtual mining platform called PepeNode, combining gaming and DeFi elements, has seen over $2 million in presale funding.

Toncoin experienced a decrease in value, falling by 2.4%. This decline suggests that after a period of price increases, some investors are selling their Toncoin holdings, limiting further gains.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has indicated that many Americans could see larger tax refunds or increased paychecks starting in early 2026. This is due to changes in tax policy under the "One Big Beautiful Bill," which exempts tips, overtime, and some Social Security income from federal taxes. Bitcoin enthusiasts are drawing parallels between these potential refunds, estimated at $1,000 to $2,000 per person, and the 2020 stimulus checks. They believe this influx of cash could potentially fuel another surge in Bitcoin's price, similar to what happened when stimulus checks were released during the pandemic. The market has already reacted, with Bitcoin experiencing a price increase amid optimism about the end of the government shutdown and discussions of tax refunds and tariff dividends.

BlockchainFX, a crypto platform in presale, has secured a trading license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority. The platform is currently priced at $0.03 per token in its presale, with a confirmed launch price of $0.05. The platform offers trading in crypto, stocks, forex, commodities, and ETFs, along with staking rewards in BFX and USDT. Whales are accumulating BlockchainFX instead of Polkadot and Polygon because of its lower valuation and potential for higher growth. The presale has raised over $11 million with over 17,300 participants, aiming for a $12 million soft cap. A LICENSE50 bonus code provides a 50% increase in token allocation, and purchases of $100 or more enter buyers into a $500,000 Gleam Giveaway. Polkadot and Polygon are considered mature assets with slower growth compared to BlockchainFX.

Google has filed a lawsuit against a China-based operation called the 'Smishing Triad' that's been running a large-scale SMS phishing scam. This scam has affected over a million people globally by sending fake text messages designed to steal personal information, using software known as 'Lighthouse'. The scammers impersonated reputable brands like E-ZPass and Google, creating fake websites to trick users. Google's lawsuit aims to shut down the operation and destroy the Lighthouse platform. It's estimated that between 12.7 million and 115 million credit cards were stolen in the U.S. alone. Google also supports three bills in Congress aimed at combating scams and robocalls. The company has also released new safety tools like Key Verifiers and AI-powered spam detection in Google Messages.

Decred's price increased to approximately $37.50, a 20% jump in the last 24 hours, driven by interest in its privacy features and staking model. SKY also saw a 12% rise to around $0.06, attributed to new exchange listings. Story's IP token gained 12% to about $4.14, fueled by growing interest in creator economy projects. These altcoins demonstrated individual strength, moving independently of the broader market trends due to specific factors like functional updates and community engagement. The sustainability of these gains depends on maintaining consistent trading activity, balanced exchange flows, and strong on-chain participation.

The Trump administration is planning to reduce tariffs on everyday imported goods like coffee, bananas, and other fruits, especially those not produced in the U.S. This decision follows previous tariff increases, including a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, which, combined with drought, contributed to a roughly 20% increase in coffee futures this year and about 45% over the last 12 months. The administration hopes these tariff cuts will lower consumer prices, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent suggesting Americans could see improvements by early to mid-2026. President Trump specifically mentioned coffee as a target for tariff reductions, aiming to quickly address elevated prices. The move comes as inflation has risen to 3% since April, when the current administration started pushing for higher tariffs, increasing pressure on households facing higher costs for food, fuel, and services. Whether the cuts will fully offset earlier hikes and translate to lower shelf prices remains to be seen.

Brazil is considering a plan to sell seized Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies acquired from organized crime operations. The government aims to disrupt the financial capabilities of these criminal networks by converting their illicitly gained crypto assets into fiat currency. The proceeds from these sales would then be used to fund public safety and other government initiatives, effectively turning the criminals' assets against them. The scale of these potential sales and the specific mechanisms for liquidating the seized Bitcoin have not been disclosed.

The crypto market is shifting towards fundamentally sound presale projects with potential for high returns in 2025. Unlike past hype-driven presales, these new projects emphasize strong tokenomics, audited smart contracts, and regulated partnerships. Investors are looking for early access, utility, transparent tokenomics, community growth, and audits to identify the best-performing presales. Three presales to watch are IPO Genie, which tokenizes private equity using AI; BlockDAG, which aims to provide scalable DeFi infrastructure; and MetaVault, which tokenizes real-world assets for DeFi. Early entry into these presales offers the potential for significant ROI if the projects deliver on their utility and achieve market adoption. Due diligence, including verifying smart contracts, using non-custodial wallets, checking audits, and diversifying investments, is crucial for safe participation. Getting in before major exposure is key to maximizing potential gains.

A new task force is being created to combat 'pig butchering' scams, which are cryptocurrency-related fraud schemes originating overseas. These scams involve building trust with victims before defrauding them of their money. The U.S. government recently took action against a specific pig butchering operation based in Burma.

Ripple has issued a warning to XRP holders about ongoing scams targeting the community. These scams involve fake livestreams, giveaways, and deepfake videos impersonating Ripple or its executives to trick users into sending funds to fraudulent addresses with promises of high returns. Ripple emphasized that its employees will never ask users to transfer assets, share wallet data, or join investment streams, urging users to verify information through official channels. This warning follows previous instances of scams impersonating Ripple's CEO on YouTube. Other cryptocurrencies like Binance and Shiba Inu are also frequently targeted by similar fraudulent schemes, including phishing scams and fake promotions.

A significant proposal called UNIfication is being considered for the Uniswap protocol. This proposal aims to make sweeping changes to the platform, though specific details of these changes are not provided in the article. The proposal's scale suggests a potentially substantial impact on how Uniswap operates and interacts with its users.

Ethereum whales have purchased over $350 million worth of ETH, as the price of ETH decreased. One new wallet bought 20,000 ETH, worth approximately $70 million, and another purchased $206 million worth of AaveETH. Analysts at CryptoQuant believe this may indicate institutional investors are buying ETH at discounted prices. A technical analyst suggests the upcoming Ethereum Fusaka upgrade on December 3rd, which aims to improve network speed and lower costs, could be a reason for the increased whale activity.

Canary Capital has filed the final paperwork with Nasdaq, suggesting an XRP ETF could launch as early as Thursday. Despite this positive development, XRP's price is currently down across short-term periods like the last 24 hours, 14 days, and month, however it is up 7% on the week and almost 296% since November 2024. The launch of the ETF follows the resolution of Ripple's case with the SEC and coincides with the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates. This combination of factors could lead to increased investment in XRP from institutions. Whether XRP will follow the path of Bitcoin, which saw its price surge after its ETF launch, or Ethereum, which experienced a period of stagnation, remains to be seen. Solid ETF inflows and supportive economic conditions could drive XRP to new all-time highs.

A Canadian company has launched Bitcoin-backed loans, signaling a move towards Bitcoin becoming a more active financial asset. This development is occurring alongside the emergence of Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Layer 2 project designed to make Bitcoin faster and more programmable. Bitcoin Hyper aims to achieve this by using an SVM-based execution environment and ZK proofs. The project's presale has already raised $26.9 million, with the token currently priced at $0.013265. A large purchase of 16.8 million $HYPER, worth approximately $226,000, was made during the presale. Price predictions estimate $HYPER could reach $0.02595 by the end of 2025 and $0.08625 by 2026.

Sui Network and Stripe's subsidiary, Bridge, are launching a new stablecoin called USDsui. This stablecoin will be fiat-backed, yield-bearing, and compliant with the GENIUS Act. It will operate on Bridge's Open Issuance platform and is designed to be integrated across the Sui Network for payments, DeFi, and other real-world uses. Wallets, DeFi protocols, and applications on the Sui blockchain will have automatic access to USDsui when it launches later this year. However, the price of SUI has recently dropped by over 2% in the last 24 hours and 30% over the last month amid a broader downturn in the altcoin market.

Peter Schiff criticized Cathie Wood's projection that Bitcoin could reach $1.2 million. The article highlights the differing opinions of two prominent figures regarding the future value of Bitcoin, with Schiff questioning the feasibility of Wood's bullish forecast.

BitMine Immersion Technologies (BMNR), led by Tom Lee, uses a unique strategy of raising money by selling shares and using that money to buy and stake Ethereum (ETH). They currently hold over 3.5 million ETH, about 2.8% of the total supply, plus roughly $389 million in cash, totaling around $13.7 billion. Unlike typical companies, BMNR doesn't have much debt. This approach has led to significant growth, but the company's success depends heavily on the price of Ethereum and investors continuing to buy its shares. If the price of Ethereum drops or investors stop buying shares, BMNR could face financial difficulties. While a traditional bankruptcy due to debt is unlikely, the company's value could shrink rapidly if it can't raise new money or if the value of Ethereum declines significantly. BMNR's stock has increased significantly, but its financial metrics, like low revenue of about $4.6 million annually and a negative Altman Z-Score (0.96), suggest potential vulnerability. Analysts see the company as a high-risk investment, dependent on maintaining positive market sentiment towards Ethereum.

The Senate Agriculture Committee is aiming to discuss and potentially approve a bill concerning the structure of cryptocurrency markets in early December. This "markup" session is a key step in the legislative process, where the committee members will debate and amend the proposed bill. This bill is significant because it aims to establish clearer rules and regulations for the crypto market, potentially impacting how digital assets are traded and managed in the United States. The exact date of the markup session has not been specified, but the target is within the first few weeks of December.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has introduced a new token taxonomy aimed at providing a framework for classifying crypto assets. This framework is designed to help determine whether a digital asset should be regulated as a security. The SEC's move could bring more clarity to the crypto market and potentially impact how different crypto assets are treated under U.S. law, influencing trading and investment decisions.

Canary XRP ETF has taken a significant step towards launching the first US spot XRP ETF by filing Form 8-A12(b), a key requirement for exchange listing on Nasdaq. Nasdaq has already approved the listing application. The SEC must allow the S-1 registration to become effective, potentially around November 14th, if they don't raise any objections. After the S-1 is effective and Nasdaq publishes a daily list including the XRP ETF, trading can begin under the ticker XRPC. Gemini and BitGo are named as custodians. Seed funding totals $250,000. Market analysts predict first-month inflows could range from hundreds of millions to several billion dollars, depending on various factors.

Polymarket, a prediction market platform, has partnered with Yahoo Finance to display its prediction data on Yahoo Finance's front page. This partnership makes Polymarket the exclusive prediction market partner for Yahoo Finance and follows a recent integration of Polymarket data into Google searches. Polymarket aims to launch predictions for US-based traders in the coming months. Polymarket has seen growth in market diversity, with 3,410 questions launched in November so far, exceeding the number from November 2024. The platform has also experienced a surge in active traders, reaching over 63,000 daily active traders in November and a peak of over 471,000 monthly active users in October. On November 8th, Polymarket recorded $168 million in total trading volumes. While the platform currently relies on crypto and USDC, it is becoming more retail-driven, with some traders earning significant profits.

Shiba Inu's burn rate, which is the rate at which tokens are permanently removed from circulation, has increased by 108,000%. This significant spike in burning may influence the price of Shiba Inu. The article suggests a potential price target of $0.000016 for Shiba Inu based on this burn rate increase.

A Solana-based company, which is backed by Pantera Capital, will tokenize its company shares using Superstate's Opening Bell platform. This means the company will represent its ownership stakes as digital tokens on the blockchain, allowing for potential new ways to manage and trade these shares. The use of Superstate's Opening Bell is a notable step as it indicates the platform is being used for real-world asset tokenization by established companies with venture capital backing.

Peoples Protocol is a new decentralized system aiming to give users control and rewards for their online activity, instead of large tech companies. It uses blockchain to ensure data security and transparency, and AI to help users connect and collaborate. The system allows people to define their goals, find teammates using AI, record agreements on the blockchain, and earn tokens for their contributions. This creates a transparent system where users own and monetize their data. The protocol plans to introduce its $PEOPLE token and fully decentralize by 2027, aiming for five million users and integration with government digital services.

Wall Street firms like Hurley Capital, Clearstead Advisors, and MAI Capital Management have disclosed holdings in XRP-related investment products, signaling growing institutional interest in the cryptocurrency. This interest comes ahead of the anticipated launch of spot XRP ETFs, with Canary XRP ETF expected to be the first to trade on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPC this Thursday. CoinShares reported substantial inflows into XRP last week, reflecting investor anticipation of the ETF approval. While one analyst predicts a potential price breakout to $3, whale activity shows mixed sentiment with recent XRP sales. The XRP price is currently around $2.42, experiencing a slight decrease in the last 24 hours, and a drop in trading volume.

Visa has launched a new stablecoin payout system that enables businesses to send payments directly to recipients' stablecoin wallets using Visa Direct. The system aims to provide faster and more accessible cross-border payments, allowing recipients to receive funds in USD-backed stablecoins like USDC within minutes instead of days. Businesses can fund these payouts in fiat currency. A Visa study found that 57% of digital creators prefer instant access to funds via digital payments. The company is gradually rolling out the program, starting with select partners, with a broader launch planned for the second half of 2026, pending regulatory approval. Transfers will be recorded on the blockchain for transparency and security. Visa's revenue increased by 14% to $10.72 billion in its fourth fiscal quarter.

Coinbase has hired Liz Martin, formerly a partner at Goldman Sachs, as its new VP of Product, overseeing Markets and Derivatives. This move is part of Coinbase's strategy to become an "everything exchange" where users can buy, sell, borrow, stake, spend, and earn crypto. Martin will lead Coinbase's exchanges, drive growth in its derivatives business, and manage its global markets team. Coinbase aims to offer services like forecast markets, tokenized stocks, and early-stage token sales, and CEO Brian Armstrong wants to make Coinbase users' primary financial account. Coinbase is also changing its state of registration from Delaware to Texas due to concerns about Delaware's legal framework and franchise taxes. In other news, Coinbase has launched Coinbase Business in Singapore and partnered with Standard Chartered to offer crypto trading services for local businesses. JPMorgan Chase is putting its JPM Coin on Coinbase's layer 2 network, Base. Coinbase reported $432.6 million in net income on $1.87 billion in revenue in Q3, driven by increased trading. Coinbase's stock is currently trading at $308, down over 13% in the last month.

Large Ethereum holders withdrew approximately $1.4 billion worth of ETH from Binance in a single day, marking the biggest outflow since February. This resulted in a net outflow of around 106,000 ETH from Binance, suggesting these holders prefer storing their ETH long-term rather than selling it. Wallets holding between 10,000 and 100,000 ETH have increased their holdings by 52% since the second quarter of 2025, while ETH held on exchanges is at its lowest since 2016. Despite this bullish signal, high trading volumes and open interest indicate speculative trading is also high, leading to price volatility. Ethereum is currently facing resistance around $3,700. Large investors may view the recent price dip as a buying opportunity, anticipating the upcoming Fusaka upgrade on December 3rd.

According to an analysis of Bitcoin's price history since 2017, a pattern called a 'death cross' is about to occur, where the 50-day average price falls below the 200-day average. Historically, this pattern has signaled a local bottom for Bitcoin's price, followed by a significant rally. The analyst, Sykodelic, predicts that Bitcoin may bottom around $95,000 in the coming days, potentially by November 21st, and then rally to at least $145,000. This prediction is based on the observation that past death cross occurrences have been followed by at least a 45% price increase. Additional data from CryptoQuant indicates that the number of Bitcoins held at a loss is at a level that has previously coincided with price bottoms and subsequent rallies. Technical analysis also points to a potential breakout towards $120,000 if Bitcoin can break out of a falling wedge pattern.

The U.S. SEC has reportedly approved the first XRP Spot ETF, the Canary XRP ETF, scheduled to debut on Nasdaq on November 13, 2025. This approval allows institutional investors to access XRP in a regulated manner, potentially bringing billions of dollars in new investment. Market analysts anticipate that multiple XRP ETFs will follow, with major firms already having pending filings. The Canary Capital CEO predicts XRP inflows could surpass those of Solana's ETF launch due to XRP's strong position in financial services. Experts forecast significant demand, with some predicting up to $20 billion in inflows within a year. Analysts estimate that XRP's price could potentially reach between $10 and $20 within months, mirroring the impact of Bitcoin's ETF debut.

Visa is piloting a program that allows freelancers and digital creators to receive payments in the USDC stablecoin.

ChatGPT-5 predicts that Digitap ($TAP), Maxi Doge (MAXI), and BlockDAG (BDAG) are crypto coins with the potential for significant growth in 2025. Digitap, an omni-banking app for crypto and cash already live with a working app, is highlighted as the top pick due to its existing functionality, deflationary tokenomics, and a presale that has already raised over $1.7 million; its current price is $0.0297 with a launch price targeted at $0.14, representing a potential 370% increase. Maxi Doge, a meme coin with staking rewards, has raised nearly $4 million and could see a 5x or 10x jump during a bull market, but carries higher risk. BlockDAG, a hybrid blockchain, has raised over $430 million and aims for high transaction speeds but faces risks related to selling pressure after token unlocks. Digitap is viewed as the most reliable due to its live ecosystem, real transactions, and token burn mechanism.

Dogecoin's price is currently facing a challenging period, struggling to stay above $0.17. The price has decreased by over 3% this week. Selling activity has increased, and momentum indicators suggest limited buying interest. Some larger Dogecoin holders have been selling off their coins. However, some mid-sized holders have been quietly accumulating more Dogecoin since late October. If Dogecoin can hold above $0.17, analysts anticipate a potential price increase towards $0.22. A move above $0.188 could trigger rapid price increases. There is also speculation about a potential Dogecoin ETF which could boost the price.

The article contrasts short-term trading opportunities in Stellar (XLM) and Binance Coin (BNB) with a potentially more significant long-term development: Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP). It highlights concerns about Ethereum's scaling issues, particularly bottlenecks in its Layer-2 network, which are reportedly slowing performance significantly. ZKP is presented as an alternative, having invested $100 million in a privacy-focused infrastructure designed for high-performance zero-knowledge computation without these bottlenecks. ZKP has already deployed $20 million in infrastructure and has $17 million in hardware ready to ship. The project's whitelist is open for early registration, and it plans to distribute 200 million ZKP coins daily through on-chain auctions to ensure fair access. The article suggests that while traders focus on short-term price movements, the real opportunity may lie in scalable solutions like ZKP that address fundamental blockchain infrastructure challenges.

Analyst Michael van de Poppe suggests that Chainlink (LINK) is currently in an accumulation zone relative to Bitcoin, indicating a potentially good time to buy. He points out that Chainlink is consolidating near a multi-year support level.

Coinbase is moving its official headquarters from Delaware to Texas, citing a desire for a more business-friendly environment for developing new products and dealing with regulations. The company believes Texas offers a good balance of efficiency and fairness for businesses. This move is part of a larger trend where companies are looking at states beyond Delaware, which has traditionally been the most popular state for incorporation. Coinbase also announced that it has stopped its planned acquisition of BVNK, a London-based stablecoin startup, after both companies agreed not to move forward with the roughly $2 billion deal.

The Binance Chain is shutting down its current BNB Chain Multi-Signature Wallet and asking users to move their assets to Safe Global. This change affects users who utilize the multi-signature wallet for added security on the BNB Chain. The migration process is now active and aims to maintain existing security settings, ownership structures, and transaction histories. Users will need to connect their existing signer wallets to the Safe interface and import their old Safe configuration. During the migration, users might see warnings about an unsupported base contract, but the Binance Chain developers provide instructions on how to proceed.

Mike Selig, President Trump's nominee, is scheduled for a confirmation hearing to join the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). This hearing coincides with progress on a crypto bill in Congress. Selig's potential role as a CFTC commissioner is relevant to the crypto market because the CFTC has regulatory oversight over certain aspects of the crypto industry, particularly crypto derivatives. His confirmation and the advancement of the crypto bill could influence how crypto assets are regulated in the U.S.

Solana's price is currently around $158, which is 38% lower than its peak in September, and charts suggest it could fall further, potentially to $96 if it breaks below the $126 support level. Despite $6.78 million inflows into Solana ETFs on Monday, bringing cumulative inflows to $342 million, the price trend remains weak. The 50-day EMA has dropped below the 200-day EMA, forming a death cross, and the price is trading below the Supertrend indicator, signaling continued selling pressure. Meanwhile, a Web3 game called Earth Version 2 (EV2), a sci-fi looter-shooter RPG built on the Avalanche blockchain, is gaining interest, offering players the chance to earn tokens and in-game assets. EV2 features various gameplay modes, including Fracture, a 25-player free-for-all survival match, and utilizes the EV2 token for governance, staking, crafting, and trading, with a presale price of $0.01 per token.

The Winklevoss twins have launched a new company called Cypherpunk, dedicated to supporting the Zcash cryptocurrency.

This news indicates a significant investment and commitment from a well-known entity in the crypto space towards the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Zcash.

BNB experienced a price drop to around $953 before recovering to above $970. Resistance is present in the $975-$980 range, with the recovery volume being weaker than the initial drop, suggesting a lack of strong buyer conviction. Holding above $970 provides short-term support. If BNB fails to break through $980, it could continue to consolidate or decline due to lower market liquidity. The token's price movement mirrored broader crypto market trends, with the CoinDesk 20 index also experiencing a slight decrease. Key levels to watch include maintaining above $970, while a break above $975-$980 with strong volume would signal renewed buyer control.

XRP's price is currently trending downward on a weekly basis, despite some short-term gains. The daily chart shows some positive indicators, suggesting a potential price recovery if market conditions improve. XRP faces resistance around $2.60 to $2.70 and could fall back to the support zone between $2.30 and $2.40 if it fails to break through the resistance. The expectation is that XRP will likely trade within the $2.30 to $2.70 range in the near term, influenced by Bitcoin and Ethereum's movements. Since July, XRP's price has decreased by approximately 32%. According to analyst DataDash, XRP might need a further price reset before a significant upward trend can begin.

Franklin Templeton is expanding its Benji Technology Platform to the Canton Network, aiming to connect traditional finance with digital assets through tokenized investment products. This integration provides Franklin Templeton's clients with more options for engaging with digital assets in a regulated environment. The Benji platform, Franklin Templeton's blockchain-integrated technology stack, manages token-based investments and previously launched the first U.S.-registered mutual fund to use blockchain for transactions.

QCP plans to use Franklin Templeton's platform as a liquidity source. The integration aims to blur the lines between traditional and digital finance, fostering interoperability, liquidity, and trust.

Block (formerly Square) has enabled Bitcoin payments across its Square merchant network, giving approximately 4 million sellers the ability to accept Bitcoin's Lightning Network payments at the point of sale. Merchants can now offer Bitcoin as a payment option, generating a Lightning invoice QR code for customers to pay with Lightning-enabled wallets. Settlement occurs rapidly, and sellers can choose to keep the funds in Bitcoin or convert them to dollars through Square's infrastructure. The processing fees are set at 0% until 2027, after which a flat 1% fee will be applied per transaction, lower than typical card fees. This service is initially available for US Square businesses outside New York. While Block earns on foreign exchange and crypto spreads, the lower merchant fees may encourage adoption. The Lightning Network currently holds around 4,100 to 4,800 Bitcoin, and Block's public node already holds a significant portion. This integration could centralize Lightning Network payment flows through Block, a publicly traded company. A $600 transaction cap is in place for Lightning payments. Square also offers auto-conversion to Bitcoin, allowing businesses to route up to 50% of their daily card sales into Bitcoin. This creates a closed loop within Block's ecosystem, potentially tightening retail spreads. The success of this initiative depends on merchant promotion and customer adoption, with regulatory factors also playing a role.

The head of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Atkins, stated that the agency will provide more clarity regarding how it regulates cryptocurrencies that are connected to investment contracts. This implies that the SEC is working on defining which digital assets fall under its regulatory purview, specifically those that resemble securities offerings. This development could potentially impact crypto projects and exchanges that deal with such assets, as they may face stricter compliance requirements in the future.

A fire occurred at Bitdeer's new Bitcoin mining construction site in Massillon, Ohio, damaging two of the 26 planned buildings. The fire started during welding operations, exacerbated by high winds, but no injuries were reported. The affected buildings were still under construction, meaning current mining operations were not impacted. However, the incident may delay the facility's opening and affect the company's near-term expansion plans. Bitdeer is currently assessing the damage and conducting inspections with its insurance and safety teams, but has not provided a revised timeline for the facility's launch. The company is expanding its Bitcoin mining operations and venturing into high-performance computing.

An analyst has indicated that Ether (ETH) is currently in a favorable period for investors to buy, following a sustained decrease in its price. This suggests that the current price level may represent a good opportunity to acquire Ether before a potential price increase. The analyst believes the pullback, or price decrease, has created an accumulation zone, meaning it's a good time to accumulate or buy more Ether.

Zcash experienced a significant price drop, falling 37% after Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, warned holders to move their Zcash from centralized exchanges to private wallets. Hayes emphasized that keeping Zcash on exchanges negates its privacy features, essentially turning it into a traceable asset. This warning sparked discussions about privacy, regulation, and the importance of self-custody in the cryptocurrency space. The price volatility followed a period where Zcash had surged dramatically, increasing by 1,700% in less than two months. The situation also brought renewed attention to rumors connecting a Zcash developer to the creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. Monero, another privacy coin, has faced similar issues with exchanges due to compliance concerns.

Michael Selig, President Trump's nominee to lead the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), will face a Senate confirmation hearing on Wednesday, November 19th, at 3:00 p.m. The nomination comes after a period of instability at the CFTC, including the resignation of Chair Rostin Behnam in January 2025 and subsequent departures of other commissioners, creating a leadership vacuum. Selig, currently with the SEC's Crypto Task Force, is seen as pro-crypto and his nomination signals a potential continuation of expanding the CFTC's authority over digital assets. His appointment follows the withdrawal of Brian Quintenz after concerns were raised by the Winklevoss twins. Selig has expressed support for treating certain cryptocurrencies like commodities and his confirmation hearing is significant given ongoing congressional efforts to define the CFTC's powers in regulating digital assets, including the CLARITY Act and a Senate proposal to grant the CFTC more authority over digital commodities.

SoFi, a fintech company with a national bank charter, has started offering cryptocurrency trading within its app, making it the first national bank to do so in the US. Starting November 11, 2025, SoFi's 12.6 million members will be able to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana directly from their SoFi checking or savings accounts. This move was made possible by clearer regulatory guidance issued in the spring of 2025, allowing banks with national charters to provide crypto services. SoFi highlights that about 60% of its crypto-owning members prefer keeping their assets with a licensed bank rather than a crypto exchange. The company has plans to introduce a US-dollar stablecoin, crypto remittances, and crypto-backed lending products in the future. To encourage adoption, SoFi is offering a promotion where new users who sign up by November 30 and meet certain activity requirements by January 31, 2026, have a chance to win one Bitcoin. It's important to note that crypto assets are volatile and are not FDIC insured.

Wall Street analyst Adam Kobeissi of The Kobeissi Letter believes current economic conditions are exceptionally favorable for asset owners. He cites factors like anticipated rate cuts amidst stagflation, significant capital expenditure by major tech companies (around $600 billion annually), and potential fiscal stimulus as drivers for asset appreciation. This includes assets like stocks, real estate, gold, and digital assets like Bitcoin. Despite recent market fluctuations, Kobeissi projects Bitcoin could reach $200,000 within the next 12 to 24 months. His analysis comes amid a split within the Federal Reserve regarding monetary policy, with disagreements on how to address inflation and a weakening labor market potentially complicating future rate decisions.

Market analyst Bitcoin Teddy predicts Bitcoin could reach a new all-time high between $160,000 and $170,000 within six weeks. This prediction is based on the Diminishing Golden Curves model developed by CryptoCon.

Circle, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, announced strong third-quarter earnings, with revenue up 66% to $739.8 million and profit significantly exceeding analyst expectations at 64 cents per share. The supply of USDC more than doubled year-over-year to $73.7 billion. Despite these positive results, Circle's stock price fell 5% after the company released its earnings report. The stock drop was triggered by an updated forecast indicating increased operating costs for 2025, projected between $495 million and $510 million, primarily due to investments in its upcoming Arc blockchain project. While non-reserve revenue is also expected to increase, rising costs are growing at a faster pace. The decrease in the Federal Reserve rates also impacted the business since the company generates revenue from interest earned on the U.S. dollar reserves backing USDC. Circle is positioning itself for long-term growth, viewing stablecoins as a major trend and aiming to gain market share against competitor Tether.

Bitcoin's price is potentially going to increase because the U.S. government is reopening. This reopening is creating a 'risk-on' mood, meaning investors are more willing to invest in things like Bitcoin, which are seen as riskier assets. The potential for a U.S. government shutdown receding seems to be positively impacting investor sentiment towards Bitcoin.

Circle Internet Group, the company behind the USDC stablecoin, reported strong financial results for the third quarter.

The amount of USDC in circulation increased by 108% to $73.7 billion, representing 29% of the market. Circle is launching a new blockchain called Arc and exploring a native token for it. The Circle Payments Network is expanding, and their USYC tokenized money market fund has grown significantly, reaching approximately $1 billion. While Circle's shares initially faced volatility due to interest rate concerns, the company is aiming to diversify revenue streams. They are projecting revenue of $90-$100 million for 2025 with a margin of around 38%. They also anticipate increased operating expenses to support platform development and partnerships. Circle is reaffirming a 40% Compound Annual Growth Rate for USDC circulation.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that the company is actively targeting traditional finance by integrating blockchain and Web3 technologies, with XRP playing a central role in this strategy. Ripple aims to use XRP in its institutional products and fintech solutions for cross-border settlements, positioning it as more than just a speculative token by demonstrating real-world applications. The potential approval of XRP ETFs is anticipated to significantly boost institutional investment in XRP, potentially reshaping its market position. Currently, XRP is trading around $2.40, influenced by institutional partnerships, ETF anticipation, and Ripple's increasing focus on traditional finance.

A research paper from Durham University has been brought to the attention of the XRP community, reigniting discussions about XRP's classification as a commodity. This comes at a time when there are ongoing efforts in the U.S. to create clearer legal definitions for cryptocurrencies.

Circle reported a strong third quarter, with the supply of its USDC stablecoin reaching $73.7 billion, marking a 108% increase compared to last year. The company's total revenue rose to $740 million, a 66% year-over-year increase, and net income grew by 202% to $214 million. Circle also launched the Arc testnet, a platform for developers building on Circle's technology, and is exploring a native Arc network token. The company raised its 2025 other revenue forecast to $90-100 million, anticipating new revenue streams beyond USDC issuance. USYC, a tokenized money market fund that enables instant redemptions at scale into USDC, is now live on the Arc Testnet.

Government services are expected to resume quickly following the bill's enactment.

Foreign investors withdrew $10.18 billion from Asian stock markets in the first week of November, reversing a trend of buying in October when they invested $2.28 billion. The largest outflows were from South Korea, with $5.05 billion pulled out, and Taiwan, with $3.86 billion in outflows. This shift is attributed to concerns about high valuations of technology stocks, particularly those related to artificial intelligence. India also experienced outflows of $1.42 billion. While Vietnam and Thailand saw smaller outflows, Indonesia and the Philippines attracted inflows. The data indicates a growing unease among foreign investors regarding the sustainability of the tech stock rally and its impact on Asian markets.

Ethereum's price is hovering around $3,337 despite whales (large investors) buying nearly $582 million worth of the cryptocurrency. This lack of price movement is because other investors, specifically long-term and short-term holders, are selling off their Ethereum. Long-term holders are taking profits, while short-term traders are reducing their exposure, creating selling pressure that offsets the whales' purchases. The market needs to see long-term holders start buying again and increased overall trading volume to signal a potential rally. If the price falls below $3,337, it could drop further to around $3,049. To show strength, it needs to rise above $3,514 and aim for the $3,910 range. A key indicator, the On-Balance Volume (OBV), is currently declining, suggesting weak buying pressure. A rally is unlikely until this indicator turns positive and buying becomes more widespread.

The price of Pi Network's token is potentially heading towards $0.5. This is connected to the fact that the largest holders of Pi tokens, known as whales, collectively hold nearly 375 million tokens. This concentration of tokens among top holders could influence the token's price movement.

SoFi Technologies, a US-based company known for financial services like student loan refinancing and stock trading, is bringing back its cryptocurrency trading service after a pause of nearly two years.

The service will be rolled out to users gradually over the next few weeks. SoFi had previously offered crypto trading but stopped it in 2023 due to unclear regulations, directing customers to another exchange.

Centrifuge, a company specializing in Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization, has launched a new service to help businesses tokenize their assets.

Ethereum's price is around $3,445, showing a slight increase over the past week despite a larger decrease over the past month. Technical charts indicate potential bearish signals as key moving averages are about to cross in a way that historically suggests price declines. However, Ethereum whales, or large holders, have added approximately $900 million worth of ETH to their holdings in just a few days. This action contradicts the bearish signals and suggests that these large investors anticipate a price rebound. This confidence may stem from a hidden bullish divergence, an indicator that suggests the overall uptrend is still intact. Key price levels to watch are $3,333, which is a support level, and $3,650 and $3,994, which are potential target prices if the price increases. A drop below $3,050 would confirm the bearish signals. The market is currently showing conflicting signals, with bearish indicators forming alongside significant buying activity from large holders.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes that the current administration's pro-crypto policies are driving institutional investment into the crypto market. His optimism is based on the expectation that the administration will pass the CLARITY Act, which aims to provide regulatory clarity for crypto. Hougan anticipates that compliant Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) could become a significant source of capital formation in the crypto space as early as 2026. Despite a government shutdown, a White House official stated that progress on crypto legislation, specifically the CLARITY Act, continues. This bill has already passed the House and is now awaiting Senate action, with hopes that the end of the government shutdown will allow for further progress.

Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced a significant surge in inflows, reaching $40 billion over five days and $13 billion in a single day. Year-to-date inflows hit a record $1.16 trillion. Equity ETFs, particularly those focused on broad market exposure and high-growth technology, saw the largest gains. Bitcoin ETFs also saw a rebound, attracting nearly $500 million in one day and becoming net positive for the week, with iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), Fidelitys FBTC, and Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF (ARKB) as top performers.

The price of Aster tokens has increased by 7% and is testing the $1.2 resistance level. A large investor, referred to as a whale, has purchased 8.4 million Aster tokens since November 4, 2025, at an average price of $0.97, and currently holds them with an unrealized profit of $1.1 million. In the last 24 hours, Aster token buybacks have increased significantly, removing 2.4 million tokens from circulation. There are rumors of a possible listing on Coinbase. Technical analysis suggests a potential breakout, with targets between $1.25 and $1.50 if the $1.2 resistance is broken. A failure to sustain momentum above $1.2 could lead to price drops to $1.08 and $0.96.

The U.S. House of Representatives is scheduled to vote today on a bill aimed at ending the government shutdown. Following this news, the price of Bitcoin has increased.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has announced a partnership with Unity Nodes, allowing users to purchase nodes, obtain SHIB-branded NFT licenses, earn rewards, and receive bonus licenses by using SHIB. This integration aims to provide real-world utility for the meme coin. While the Shiba Inu community has reacted positively, SHIB's price hasn't seen significant gains and is down 8% over the past month, trading around $0.000009883. The number of transactions on Shibarium, Shiba Inu's layer-2 blockchain, has declined, signaling a potential bearish scenario. There has also been an increase in SHIB flowing into exchanges, suggesting more selling pressure. However, the burn rate of SHIB tokens has increased significantly, with over 824 million tokens burned in the past week, which could potentially drive the price up by reducing supply.

Italian utility company A2A is increasing its investment plan for 2024-2035 to 23 billion euros, up from 22 billion euros last year. A significant portion, approximately 1.6 billion euros, is specifically allocated for building data centers, particularly in the Lombardy region around Milan and Brescia, due to growing digital infrastructure needs. A2A anticipates substantial growth in electricity demand from these data centers, estimating a tenfold increase to two gigawatts in the Milan area within five years. The company also aims to expand its renewable energy capacity to 3.7 gigawatts and manage 6.6 million tons of waste by 2035, while exploring international expansion opportunities, especially in the waste-to-energy sector in countries like the UK, Spain, and Portugal, and renewable energy in Poland and Germany. A2A expects its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to reach 3.6 billion euros and net income to exceed 1.1 billion euros by 2035. The company plans to develop data centers, not just supply energy, and is considering acquisitions in Europe.

A Bybit report analyzed 166 blockchains and discovered that 16 of them have the ability to freeze user funds. An additional 19 blockchains could implement this function with minor updates. These freezing functions are implemented in three main ways: hardcoded freezing embedded in the blockchain's code, configuration-based freezing that allows validators to restrict accounts, and on-chain contract freezing through smart contracts. Real-world examples include BNB Chain freezing funds to stop a $570 million exploit, VeChain freezing $6.6 million in stolen tokens, and Sui freezing $162 million tied to a hack. The report suggests that transparency regarding these safety tools should be a key part of blockchain governance.

Institutional investors are increasingly viewing crypto as a core component of their portfolios for diversification, with Bitcoin remaining their primary choice. Surveys indicate that a significant majority of organizations are open to crypto assets and plan to increase their exposure through 2026, favoring regulated products like ETFs. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is presented as a project that enhances Bitcoin's capabilities by providing faster and cheaper transactions through a Layer 2 solution. The $HYPER presale has already raised nearly $27 million, offering early investors incentives like high staking APY and access to lower token prices. Smart contract audits by Coinsult and SpyWolf ensure the safety and transparency of the $HYPER token. The presale is ongoing, but potential investors are advised to conduct their own research.

A former BlackRock executive has described Ethereum as key infrastructure for Wall Street, highlighting its liquidity, security, and trustworthiness. This endorsement is fueling interest in Ethereum-based projects, including PEPENODE, a meme-inspired project built on Ethereum that uses a gamified mine-to-earn model. PEPENODE's token presale has already raised over $2.12 million, indicating strong investor interest. PEPENODE allows users to buy and combine virtual nodes to increase mining output, with the option to sell these nodes for profit. After the token generation event, staking, node utility, and leaderboards will be activated. The presale for PEPENODE's native tokens is ongoing, with tokens currently priced at $0.0011454 each. Staking the presale tokens yields 609% APY. The token price will increase regularly during the presale, so those interested should buy quickly.

Analysts are predicting a potential surge for Chainlink (LINK) in the decentralized finance (DeFi) market. They believe LINK has been consolidating its position and could be poised for a breakout. The analysis suggests that if LINK breaks above the $25-$30 range, it could rally towards $72 by 2026. Chainlink's role in providing data feeds and cross-chain interoperability is also seen as a key factor for its potential growth. Despite a recent 5.59% price decline to around $15.40, Chainlink is holding key support levels. Its market capitalization remains around $10.7 billion, placing it among the top cryptocurrencies. Analysts are watching to see if buyers will defend the $15.20-$15.40 range, which could lead to a recovery towards $16.30-$16.60.

Saxo Markets suggests that Asian markets offer a more affordable way to invest in the artificial intelligence trend compared to U.S. technology stocks, which they believe are currently overvalued. They highlight that Asia is responsible for a significant portion of global chipmaking and AI memory production, specifically mentioning Taiwan, Korea, and Japan's dominance in advanced packaging. The S&P 500 Information Technology Index is trading at nearly 30 times its expected earnings for the next year, while the MSCI Asia Pacific Information Technology Index trades at only 17 times expected earnings, according to Bloomberg data. The article points to recent large investments by Nvidia and OpenAI as potentially creating a circular relationship that may artificially inflate the AI market. While acknowledging that Asian AI companies are not immune to global economic challenges, Saxo believes they have clearer earnings potential due to their central role in the AI infrastructure supply chain.

The Bitcoin market may be nearing a bottom, according to the Bitcoin Supply-Loss Chart. This chart tracks the amount of Bitcoin held by addresses where the current price is lower than the average purchase price, indicating the percentage of Bitcoin owners currently at a loss. Historically, high levels on this chart suggest potential market bottoms due to fear and capitulation selling. The supply in loss has recently climbed to between 5.5 million and 6.5 million BTC, mirroring patterns seen during previous market corrections in 2024 and October 2025. While this could mean continued short-term bearish pressure, analysts believe it might flush out remaining weak holders, potentially paving the way for a price bounce in late 2025 and early 2026. Previous major Bitcoin corrections have been followed by new all-time highs after periods of consolidation.
