ZCash (ZEC) is experiencing high volatility with traders battling over its price. After a large price increase followed by a sell-off, ZEC is currently consolidating around $480. Traders have placed significant bets, as shown by a spike in open interest to $708 million. If ZEC breaks above $505, it could test resistance levels at $537 and then $662 within the next week. However, if it falls below the $476-$480 range, it may decline towards support levels at $433 and potentially $402. The high leverage involved could amplify price movements in either direction, especially given the coin's low liquidity.

The U.S. government shutdown is expected to end soon as the House Rules Committee approved a funding bill already passed by the Senate to reopen federal agencies. A full House vote is anticipated as early as Wednesday, which would fund most agencies through January 30. The House Rules Committee advanced the bill with an 8-4 vote, following the Senate's 60-40 bipartisan approval. Historically, government reopenings have positively impacted markets; Bitcoin surged 266% after the 2019 shutdown. Bitcoin is currently trading around $104,895, down 14% since the shutdown began in October. Analysts anticipate renewed liquidity and investor confidence, potentially boosting Bitcoin, XRP, and other cryptocurrencies once the government reopens.

Russian President Putin will visit India on December 5 to meet with Prime Minister Modi, despite pressure from the U.S. to reduce ties between the two countries. The leaders are expected to focus on trade, energy, and geopolitics, reaffirming their existing partnership. The U.S. has been trying to reduce India's purchases of Russian oil through tariffs, but India has prioritized its energy security. Separately, Russia's Finance Ministry will issue its first yuan-denominated government bonds on December 2, seeking to attract foreign investment amid a budget shortfall of 5.7 trillion rubles. These bonds, with maturities between three and seven years, are designed to help fund Russia's budget and military spending while bypassing Western financial systems. The bonds will be available for purchase in yuan or rubles.

FUNToken ($FUN) previously experienced a 700% price increase driven by trading enthusiasm. Currently, a $5 million giveaway event on 5m.fun is underway where participants stake their tokens in a verified Ethereum contract. This locks up a significant portion of the token supply. Over 8.7 million $FUN tokens have been staked, reducing the circulating supply. The price is currently trading near $0.002226, with a market cap of $24.05 million and a circulating supply of 10.8 billion $FUN. The Telegram community has over 26,000 members, which drives community engagement.

Arthur Hayes questioned whether Jeff will hold HYPE tokens forever, suggesting the upcoming token unlock could cause a price drop. Hayes believes that Bitcoin's price is now driven by liquidity rather than just halvings, predicting a longer bull run potentially lasting until 2027 or 2028 with Bitcoin reaching $999,999 due to government spending and money printing. He sold his HYPE tokens before the unlock, anticipating others would sell as well, and plans to buy back in when the price drops. Hayes is also bullish on decentralized exchanges and stablecoins like Ethena's USDe, seeing them as future market leaders alongside Tether and Circle. Furthermore, he has invested heavily in Zcash due to its privacy features.

A glitch in one of BitGo's cryptocurrency wallets caused a flood of failed payment attempts on the XRP Ledger. The wallet, used to activate new XRP addresses, continued trying to send payments even after its XRP balance reached zero. This resulted in thousands of 'UNFUNDED PAYMENT' transactions, cluttering the XRP Ledger network and creating around 11,000 new XRP accounts in a single day. An XRP Ledger validator noticed the issue and brought it to BitGo's attention. BitGo confirmed they were investigating the problem and have since funded the wallet, which is again creating new wallets.

Oliver Michel, the CEO of Tokentus Investment AG, believes the price of XRP is not driven by news but by changes in the overall availability of money globally. He suggests that XRP's price increase depends on broader economic factors rather than specific events related to the cryptocurrency itself.

Ripple Labs is warning the XRP community about a resurgence of scams involving impersonation and deepfake videos, coinciding with the anticipated launch of the first spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). These scams often involve fraudulent livestreams, fake giveaways, and investment campaigns impersonating Ripple executives, particularly CEO Brad Garlinghouse, using AI-powered deepfakes. Scammers often try to trick users into sending XRP with promises of doubling their investment. The warning comes as Tennessee-based Canary Funds filed its Form 8-A with the SEC for its spot XRP ETF, potentially going live on Thursday, which could attract more scam attempts. XRP's price experienced a slight decrease of 5.1% to $2.41 amidst these developments.

XRP's price is fluctuating between $2.3 and $2.5, struggling to break past the $2.5 resistance level. Trading volume has decreased, but liquidity remains adequate. The price is showing signs of potential accumulation, with higher lows suggesting buying interest. A break above $2.7 could lead to a breakout, while failure to do so could extend consolidation. Traders are waiting for catalysts like the U.S. CPI release and Federal Reserve statements, which might impact short-term sentiment. A move above $2.7 could push the price towards $3.00-$3.20, while a drop below $2.30 might lead to a retest of $2.10 support. The cryptocurrency is showing cautious optimism, building momentum for its next price movement.

Kraken has listed Constellation DAG ($DAG) for trading on its platform, allowing users to buy and sell the token.

Constellation DAG is built on Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology, which allows for faster and more scalable transactions compared to traditional blockchains. The move aims to expand access to blockchain technologies focused on data integrity, scalability, and verified data automation, which are increasingly relevant to industries relying on real-time information. A recent report estimates the blockchain data market could reach $20 billion by 2030, highlighting the growing demand for transparency and security in digital systems.

Global markets showed mixed performance on Wednesday as investors awaited official confirmation that the U.S. government shutdown had ended. Dow Jones futures saw minimal movement, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average previously surged by over 550 points to a new record, contrasting with a decline in the Nasdaq Composite. European markets opened strongly, with the Stoxx 600 Index, FTSE 100, DAX, CAC 40, and FTSE MIB all increasing, the latter reaching its highest level since 2001. Gold prices decreased, with spot prices around $4,104 per ounce, after a previous rise, leading to profit-taking. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index edged up, while the yen weakened to 154.82 per dollar before intervention. Brent crude oil fell to $64.84 a barrel, and West Texas Intermediate decreased to $60.69 a barrel, reversing some of the previous day's gains, due to profit-taking and concerns about energy demand.

Global regulators, including the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO), are increasing their scrutiny of crypto tokens linked to real-world assets (RWAs) like stocks or bonds, also known as tokenization. IOSCO warns that while existing regulations cover many tokenization risks, new vulnerabilities may emerge from the technology itself, such as investor confusion about ownership and increased counterparty risk from third-party token issuers. Despite these concerns, some financial institutions like Nasdaq are pursuing tokenization, citing benefits like 24/7 trading and peer-to-peer transfers. However, IOSCO notes that the efficiency gains claimed by tokenization proponents are inconsistent, as traditional market infrastructure is still used to facilitate trading. The push for tokenization is gaining momentum in the US, driven by new legislation and increasing stablecoin adoption, with figures like Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev and BlackRock CEO Larry Fink expressing optimism about its potential to revolutionize investing.

Vodacom, a major mobile network in South Africa, is partnering with Starlink to provide satellite internet across Africa, especially in rural areas that are difficult to reach with traditional networks. This aims to bridge the digital divide on the continent. Vodacom will resell Starlink's equipment and services to businesses. This deal helps Starlink avoid South Africa's ownership regulations. Vodacom's expansion depends on getting the necessary licenses in each country. The company is also working with other companies like Orange and Airtel Africa to improve network coverage. Vodacom's first-half earnings increased by 33%, with total revenue reaching 81.6 billion rand, but they lowered their forecast slightly due to a settlement with a former employee.

Dave Weisberger, former chairman of CoinRoutes, argues that Bitcoin's price could reach $1 million due to its superior monetary characteristics compared to gold. He believes Bitcoin's digital nature, resistance to counterfeiting, and transparent supply schedule give it an advantage. Weisberger suggests that even if fiat currencies maintain their value, Bitcoin's network adoption could lead to significant price increases. He also notes that early Bitcoin holders are diversifying their holdings, which implies a limited supply overhang, and that recent ETF investors have been patient despite market volatility. According to Weisberger, current market conditions are different from the 2022 insolvency events, as there are no forced sales driving prices down. He anticipates that liquidity and gradual growth will drive price leadership, with a potential catalyst sparking the next major price surge. He cautioned against selling Bitcoin now, unless one is very quick and nimble, as missing the initial euphoria could be costly. Weisberger reiterated his bullish stance, stating he has not sold any Bitcoin and does not intend to.

Bitwise Asset Management's application for a spot Chainlink ETF, which would allow investors to trade shares representing Chainlink, has been listed on the DTCC registry under the ticker symbol CLNK.

Bitcoin mining company CleanSpark is raising $1.15 billion through the sale of convertible notes due in 2032. These notes are zero-coupon, meaning they don't pay regular interest, but can be converted into CleanSpark stock at a price of $19.16 per share, a 27.5% premium over the recent stock price of $15.03. The company plans to use $460 million of the proceeds to buy back its own shares at $15.03 per share. The remaining funds will be used to expand their Bitcoin mining operations, develop new data centers, pay off existing debt, and for general corporate purposes. Investors can convert the notes into cash or shares before maturity, and CleanSpark can redeem the notes starting in 2029 if their stock price is high enough. The offering is only available to qualified institutional buyers and is not registered for public sale.

Ethereum's price is around $3,500, showing a slight increase over the past week. Recently, a large amount of Ethereum, about 700,000 ETH, has been moved off of cryptocurrency exchanges. This removal of ETH from exchanges suggests that holders might be planning to store it for a long time or use it in other ways besides selling it quickly. Ethereum has been holding steady between $3,000 and $3,400, with some large investors buying more at around $3,200. Some analysts predict potential price targets of $4,500 to $4,800 if this level holds. However, some major ETH holders have also been selling or adjusting their positions, creating some uncertainty. Technical analysis suggests different possible price movements, with some pointing towards a potential rise to over $6,000, while others indicate a possible drop to $2,800 if key support levels are broken. Ethereum's short-term price seems closely tied to Bitcoin's overall performance.

Singapore is proposing a digital commerce partnership between Southeast Asian countries (ASEAN) and Europe (EU) to boost economic cooperation. Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong believes this agreement could be a major breakthrough, though it will take time to establish. Southeast Asia's digital economy has already reached $300 billion in gross merchandise value. Singapore also aims to create partnerships between ASEAN and the Gulf Cooperation Council, as well as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). Furthermore, Singapore is advocating for modernization of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to adapt to the changing global trade landscape. Separately, former U.S. President Trump had been working on digital trade agreements with Asian countries, including promises to not tax digital services or treat American online companies unfairly, as reported by Cryptopolitan.

A prominent Bitcoin supporter has stated that they will concede error if the price of XRP reaches $10 following the introduction of XRP ETFs (exchange-traded funds).

Coinbase will stop trading five cryptocurrencies: Clover Finance (CLV), EOS, League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA), Muse DAO (MUSE), and Wrapped Centrifuge (WCFG) on November 26. This decision follows an internal review. The delisting will affect Coinbase Exchange, Coinbase Prime, and the Coinbase website. EOS has been controversial and has seen a significant price drop of 97% from its all-time high. Following the announcement, MUSE, LOKA, and WCFG also experienced price declines. Coinbase is focusing on cryptocurrencies with higher trading volume, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, while delisting those with less activity. They are also considering adding new tokens such as BankrCoin (BNKR), Metaplex (MPLX), and Jito Staked SOL (JITOSOL) and even BNB. The delisted tokens only represented a small fraction of Coinbase's overall trading activity.

The Senate Agriculture Committee has released a draft proposal for regulating the crypto market, building upon the CLARITY Act already passed by the House. This draft aims to give the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) more power to oversee the trading of digital commodities like Bitcoin and Ethereum, requiring exchanges and brokers to register with the CFTC and protect customer funds. The proposal seeks to protect individuals' ability to self-custody their crypto and ensures that software developers aren't treated as money transmitters just for creating or publishing software. This draft complements the CLARITY Act, focusing on the CFTC's role in regulating the spot market for digital commodities, while other legislation like the GENIUS Act addresses stablecoins. The goal is to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for crypto in the US, moving away from regulation through enforcement actions by the SEC to clear rules overseen by the CFTC. However, there are disagreements between Democrats and Republicans on certain details that need to be resolved, and the Senate Banking Committee also needs to advance its part of the legislation, which addresses the SEC's oversight.

According to CryptoQuant's CEO, Ki Young Ju, large Bitcoin holders, often referred to as whales, have been selling off significant amounts of their Bitcoin holdings since the cryptocurrency reached a price of $100,000.

The price of Bitcoin briefly exceeded $107,400 on Tuesday amid optimism surrounding potential developments in the United States.

The UK government is introducing a new Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to combat the rising threat of cyberattacks, which cost the UK economy an estimated 14.7 billion annually. This legislation aims to strengthen cybersecurity standards across critical sectors like healthcare, energy, transportation, and digital supply chains. The bill will apply to medium and large companies that provide IT or digital services to the public sector and critical infrastructure, potentially impacting up to 1,000 companies. Regulators will have the power to designate certain companies as critical suppliers and ensure they meet basic cybersecurity standards, with non-compliance leading to fines or other penalties. The new law also emphasizes the responsibilities of companies utilizing managed service providers, requiring them to meet strict cybersecurity standards to prevent attackers from accessing multiple organizations. Companies are urged to prepare for the new regulations by auditing their IT supply chains and updating incident response plans.

Phantom Wallet's CEO, Brandon Millman, has stated that the company will not pursue an Initial Public Offering (IPO) or launch its own blockchain. Instead, Phantom will concentrate on the Solana ecosystem and create user-friendly crypto products for mass adoption. The company, backed by firms like a16z and Paradigm, aims to grow through private funding and concentrate on improving user-facing products rather than targeting institutional investors. Phantom is developing a crypto finance platform that combines trading, payments, and money management, similar to apps like Cash App or Robinhood, built on crypto technology. Upcoming products include Phantom Cash, a USD-based account, and CASH Stablecoin, backed 1:1 by USD and usable at Stripe merchants.

Bitwise's proposed Chainlink ETF, under the ticker CLNK, has been listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC), indicating progress toward its launch. This listing is a crucial step for ETFs before trading, involving backend preparations for clearing and settlement. While the listing doesn't guarantee SEC approval, it suggests potential imminent submission of Form 8-A, the last document required before an exchange listing, especially once the US government shutdown concludes, which had stalled SEC activity. Coinbase Custody Trust Company is set to be the custodian, allowing investors to exchange shares directly for LINK tokens. Despite this positive development, Chainlink's (LINK) price has decreased by 3.3% in the last 24 hours to around $15.50, influenced by market-wide weakness and profit-taking. Open interest in LINK derivatives has also dropped, suggesting reduced trader exposure. Technically, LINK has fallen below its 7-day simple moving average, facing resistance near the 30-day SMA. However, Chainlink has expanded its role in decentralized finance through the integration of Chainlink Data Streams and DataLink into the Injective EVM Mainnet, enhancing its value and utility.

Turbo Energy, in partnership with Taurus and the Stellar Development Foundation, is piloting a blockchain-based system to fund renewable energy projects, starting with a solar storage project at a supermarket in Spain.

Taurus's platform manages the issuance and security of these tokenized assets. The Energy-as-a-Service market is currently valued at $74.43 billion and is projected to reach $145 billion by 2030, and this project aims to expand investment in this sector. The goal is to improve access to capital for clean energy companies, lower transaction costs, and create a framework for wider adoption of blockchain in climate finance.

General Motors (GM) is pushing its suppliers to remove Chinese components from its supply chain, with some suppliers given until 2027 to comply. This initiative, which started in late 2024 and accelerated in early 2025, aims to reduce GM's reliance on China due to trade tensions and national security concerns. The focus is on sourcing parts for North American vehicle production from within North America, including Mexico and Canada. Countries like Russia and Venezuela are also included in these restrictions. GM's CEO, Mary Barra, mentioned the company's long-term focus on supply chain resiliency. Recent export bans from China on rare earth materials and disruptions in chip supplies further motivated this shift. While GM is investing in alternative sources, such as a lithium mine in Nevada and partnerships with U.S. rare earth firms, suppliers face challenges in quickly replacing decades-long established operations in China. The Vehicle Suppliers Association acknowledges that untangling these supply chains will take time.

On November 12, 2025, Nano (XNO) experienced a significant price surge, increasing by 32% to reach $1.72. This jump coincided with a 220% increase in trading volume, indicating heightened market interest. The price increase is attributed to a broader rally in older cryptocurrencies with utility and decentralization, sometimes called "dino coins". Analysts note renewed interest in established projects with strong communities. Nano's energy-efficient and feeless transaction model is also attracting attention. Traders are observing aggressive long positions. If Nano can maintain its price above $1.48, analysts predict a potential move towards $2, the highest level since December 2024.

Kraken's co-CEO has voiced concerns that new regulations in the UK regarding the promotion of cryptocurrency investments could unintentionally hurt regular investors. According to the Financial Times, the co-CEO believes the rules, designed to protect consumers, may actually make it harder for them to access reliable information about crypto, potentially leading to poorer investment decisions. The concern is that by restricting how crypto firms can market their services, investors may be pushed towards unregulated or less reputable sources for information, increasing their risk of losses.

RWE, a major German power company, unexpectedly gained 225 million euros (approximately $262 million) by selling a data center project located in the UK to a large cloud computing company. This sale significantly boosted RWE's profits for the first nine months of the year, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) reaching 3.48 billion euros ($4.06 billion), exceeding analysts' forecasts. The boost is attributed to high demand for data centers driven by the growth of artificial intelligence, with major companies investing heavily in new sites. RWE's stock price increased significantly following the announcement, reaching levels not seen since 2011. While retail investors hold the majority of RWE's shares (52%), Qatar Holding LLC is the largest single shareholder with 9.2% of the shares, and Capital Group recently acquired a 3% stake.

Bitcoin's price experienced volatility, initially being rejected at $107,000 before falling below $103,000.

Most major altcoins are down, with Ethereum dropping below $3,500 and XRP falling to $2.40. TRUMP token saw the largest decline, dropping over 7%. ASTER is a notable gainer, increasing by 8% to over $1.15. The total crypto market capitalization has decreased by $20 billion to below $3.610 trillion.

In November, Bitcoin miners transferred 71,000 BTC to the Binance exchange. This large deposit occurred as mining profitability increased due to more efficient machines and lower electricity costs, even with high mining difficulty and relatively weak Bitcoin prices around $104,000. While miners are securing profits, their overall Bitcoin reserves remain high at 1.89 million coins. The influx of Bitcoin to Binance from miners is notable, especially as exchange reserves remain low, indicating the market is absorbing the supply. Some miners might be selling older coins to fund new AI data centers, as there are wide disparities in the cost to produce a coin with older operations producing coins for as low as $45,000 while newer operations produce coins for $117,000.

XRP's price decreased by 3% to $2.38 as the market prepares for the launch of the Canary XRP ETF. Trading volume also dropped significantly. A large amount of XRP, specifically $343 million worth (143.7 million XRP), was moved between wallets associated with Evernorth Holdings, Ripple's largest XRP treasury. This movement has led to speculation about its purpose, especially since it's happening just before the ETF launch. The Canary XRP ETF is scheduled to begin trading on Nasdaq this Thursday under the ticker XRPC with a 0.50% management fee. Futures open interest also decreased by over 4% in 24 hours.

A cryptocurrency entrepreneur in Inner Mongolia, China, reportedly lost millions of dollars due to approximately 200 stray cats seeking warmth in his mining facility. The cats' presence on the mining machines caused overheating and strained the graphics cards, lowering hash rates and requiring expensive hardware upgrades. The owner, described as an animal lover, provided the cats with a separate heated shelter. This incident occurred in a region where cryptocurrency mining is officially banned since 2021, with Inner Mongolia previously being a significant Bitcoin mining hub. The event also coincides with accusations from China that the U.S. orchestrated a massive Bitcoin theft of 127,272 Bitcoin, worth roughly $13 billion, from a Chinese-linked mining pool back in December of 2020.

Bitwise's proposed Chainlink ETF, under the ticker CLNK, is nearing launch after being listed on the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) registry. This listing indicates that the ETF is in the final stages of preparation and is technically ready for trading. Bitwise is awaiting the final SEC Form 8-A filing. Grayscale also has a Chainlink ETF proposal, but it includes a staking feature, which could lead to increased regulatory scrutiny and potential delays compared to Bitwise's non-staking approach. The U.S. government shutdown has caused delays in ETF approvals. Despite the positive ETF news, Chainlink's price recently decreased by 5% to $15.52. The approval of a Chainlink ETF could bring more liquidity and institutional investment into the Chainlink market.

Sui experienced a recent price increase of 10%, but it has since fallen back, dropping below $2.07. Weekly gains are now around 0.45%, with a daily decrease of 3.36%. The cryptocurrency is currently near the $2.00 level. Technical indicators are showing mixed signals. A drop below $2.00 could lead to further decline toward the $1.85-$2.00 support range. If the $2.00 level holds, the price could potentially rise to $2.16 and $2.37 in the coming weeks. Sui's market capitalization has decreased by approximately 3.52% to $7.49 billion.

Visa has launched a pilot program allowing select U.S. businesses to directly receive and manage payments in USD Coin (USDC), a stablecoin pegged to the U.S. dollar, through Visa's existing network. This program eliminates the need for businesses to convert USDC to traditional fiat currency before receiving funds. Participating companies can settle transactions in USDC directly to their Visa accounts. The pilot aims to streamline payment processes and potentially reduce transaction costs for businesses engaging with blockchain-based payments.

Analysts are suggesting that BlockchainFX could be the next cryptocurrency to see a significant price increase. BlockchainFX is a platform that aims to combine trading of cryptocurrencies, stocks, forex, ETFs, and commodities into one system. The platform's presale has already raised over $11 million from more than 17,300 participants and is approaching its $12 million soft cap, with the token currently priced at $0.03 and a confirmed launch price of $0.05. BlockchainFX has obtained a trading license from the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, which is viewed as a positive sign. Investors can use the bonus code LICENSE50 to get 50% more BFX tokens during the presale. The platform's app is in beta testing, and the project features smart contract verification, KYC security, and staking rewards. Some analysts believe that BlockchainFX's utility, scalability, and timing make it a strong candidate for potential price growth.

Visa is piloting a program to allow stablecoin payouts for creators and gig workers, aiming to expedite payments. The program leverages the Solana blockchain for transaction settlements. Select creators will receive USDC stablecoins through their existing Visa card credentials, converting the cryptocurrency to fiat currency for spending. This initiative intends to address the slow and costly nature of traditional payment methods often experienced by gig workers and creators, particularly those operating internationally. The tests are currently underway with a limited group.

Bitcoin, Gold, and Silver prices may see a short-term rally if the US government shutdown ends as expected. Bitcoin has been recovering from a recent low, with potential resistance around $104,300 and $106,234. A drop below $100,300 could lead to a further decline. Gold is showing a bullish flag pattern, potentially rising to $4,272. Support is around $4,061, and a break below this level would negate the bullish outlook. Silver is also bullish and could reach $52.46. Support is at $50.96, and a break below this level could lead to a decline.

An XRP community commentator, Mickle, is addressing what he views as misinformation or 'FUD' (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) circulating about XRP. He aims to clarify claims that he believes misrepresent Ripple's business model and the potential of XRP.

Infineon Technologies has increased its target for AI data center power-supply revenue to 1.5 billion by 2026, a 50% increase from its previous forecast. This upward revision is driven by growing global investment in AI infrastructure. While the automotive sector, which makes up about half of Infineon's revenue, faces slow demand due to prior component stockpiling, growth in AI helps offset this weakness. Infineon's fiscal year 2025 revenue decreased by 2% to 14.66 billion, aligning with expectations. The company anticipates revenue of about 3.6 billion for the first fiscal quarter of 2026, which is slightly below market forecasts. Other companies in the same field reported similar disappointing earnings, especially after issues in the global automotive chip supply chain with Nexperia, a Chinese-owned semiconductor firm, causing companies like Volkswagen and Honda to reduce production and profit forecasts.

Visa has started a pilot program to test using the USDC stablecoin for making payments. This means U.S. businesses can use regular money to pay people, and those people can choose to receive the money as USDC, a type of cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. This could be particularly helpful for freelancers and international workers who want faster and more convenient payments. Visa's research shows that many digital creators want payment methods that give them instant access to their funds. The goal is to make money transfers faster and more accessible, especially for those in areas with limited banking services or unstable currencies. Visa plans to potentially expand this service more broadly in 2026, depending on how the pilot program goes and any regulatory changes. All transactions will be recorded on the blockchain, which promotes transparency.

JPMorgan has launched its JPM Coin on the Base blockchain, enabling institutional clients to make instant USD payments 24/7 using a token backed by deposits held at JPMorgan. This allows institutions to earn interest on tokenized deposits, unlike stablecoins. The initiative builds on earlier pilot programs and a roadmap shared in June 2025. In a related development, JPMorgan and DBS Bank are partnering to create a platform for cross-border payments using tokenized deposits, aiming to connect different banks' token systems. DBS Bank has also developed its own tokens supporting USD and Singapore dollar, and has successfully tested cross-border transfers. JPMorgan's Kinexys platform, which already handles over $3 billion daily, could potentially increase Base's total value locked to over $5 billion.

Bitsmine, a cloud mining platform, is experiencing rapid growth in 2025 with over 10 million users across 220 countries. It offers users daily payouts in Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin through cloud mining contracts with hashrates up to 16 EH/s. The platform attracts users due to its accessibility, transparent contracts, and a $100 signup bonus. Investors are increasingly turning to Bitsmine for stable, daily earnings as an alternative to high-risk trading on exchanges like Binance and OKX. Bitsmine offers fixed-term contracts of 7, 15, and 30 days with guaranteed daily profits and transparent payout policies. The platform also features a referral program where users earn commissions for referring new members. Bitsmine provides a mobile app for iOS and Android and 24/7 customer support. The company offers various mining plans, including free and paid options, catering to different investment levels and it could become a leading revenue-generating platform in the crypto mining sector by the end of 2025 if its current growth continues.

Ethereum (ETH) is facing resistance around $4,000-$4,100, with potential to fall back to $3,272 before trying to break out towards $4,000. Some large investors, known as whales, have been buying significant amounts of ETH, with one increasing their holdings to $1.38 billion after a $213 million purchase. A new cryptocurrency project called PEPENODE (PEPENODE) is launching a mine-to-earn game on the Ethereum network. Its presale has already raised over $2.1 million, with the token priced at $0.0011454. Early participants can acquire mining nodes that offer better rewards. Analysts believe that if ETH can stay above $3,700, it could reach $4,100. PEPENODE aims to provide a way for users to earn rewards while waiting for Ethereum's price to increase. The project plans to implement token burning and staking to potentially increase the token's value. A price prediction suggests PEPENODE could reach $0.0077 by the end of 2026, representing a 572% ROI from the presale price.

The article discusses Ethereum's potential as the base for digital finance, highlighting former BlackRock executive Joseph Chalom's view that institutions can trust Ethereum for digitizing finance due to its stablecoins, tokenized assets, and smart contract activity. Chalom's company, SharpLinks, holds over $3 billion in ETH, most of which is staked, earning a 3% yield. Ethereum's price is currently under pressure, trading below key exponential moving averages, with support around $3,200 and resistance near $3,550. To reverse the bearish trend, ETH needs to break above $3,450. Long-term price predictions suggest ETH could reach $5,000-$7,000 in the next bull cycle and potentially exceed $10,000 if institutional interest and adoption continue to grow.

CleanSpark, a Bitcoin mining company, is raising $1.15 billion through a convertible note offering to expand its business into AI data centers. The company plans to use about $460 million to buy back its own stock and the rest to invest in land, power infrastructure, new AI facilities, and debt repayment. The move comes as CleanSpark, like other Bitcoin miners, diversifies into AI to create additional revenue streams beyond Bitcoin mining, especially after the recent Bitcoin halving reduced mining rewards. Other miners like IREN and TeraWulf are also making similar moves into AI, securing deals with companies like Microsoft and Google-backed Fluidstack. CleanSpark aims to become a player in both Bitcoin mining and the growing AI infrastructure market by leveraging its existing power agreements and computer farms.

Federal Reserve Governor Michael Barr stated that artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform economies, leading to varied results and potentially affecting monetary policy. He noted that AI's adoption could both augment jobs and cause radical changes, boosting efficiency. A New York Fed survey showed that AI technology caused employers to scale down their hiring plans. Barr also highlighted the significant capital investments, potentially totaling $3 trillion, being channeled into data centers, which could raise labor productivity and output growth. He cautioned that overinvestment in AI could lead to losses. Barr also mentioned AI's growing presence in the financial sector, particularly in operational efficiency and customer service. He also pointed out that central banks worldwide need to keep up with AI, and the Federal Reserve is establishing an AI program to leverage these technologies. The Fed is already using AI tools for tasks like unit testing and code translation, aiming to improve efficiency and developer experience.

Over 5.6 million Bitcoin are currently held at a loss, meaning the current price is below what the holders paid for them. This situation is similar to what happened in mid-2024, which then led to a market recovery. The amount of Bitcoin held at a loss represents about 28% to 33% of the total Bitcoin supply. Analysts suggest this indicates a potential market bottom, as weaker investors may sell off their holdings, allowing stronger investors to buy in and potentially drive the price back up. This peak in loss supply occurred after Bitcoin's recent drop to around $98,966. Similar patterns in the past have been followed by market stabilization and upward price movement.

MUFG, Japan's largest banking group, is partnering with OpenAI to launch an AI-powered digital bank in the next fiscal year. The new bank will utilize AI to automate processes like account openings and customer service through a smartphone app linked to ChatGPT. Customers will be able to consult ChatGPT for advice on savings, investments, and spending. MUFG is also expanding its AI team to over 350 specialists by March 2027 to support this initiative and integrate AI across its operations. Other major Japanese banks are also exploring AI integration, emphasizing the importance of human-AI collaboration in the financial sector to improve decision-making and productivity while adapting to Japan's aging population.

Uniswap's UNI token price jumped 70% in one week following a proposal to burn 100 million UNI tokens and enhance liquidity provider rewards. This surge was accompanied by a four-year high in whale transaction activity and a three-year high in the creation of new UNI wallets, signaling increased interest from both large and small investors. Following the announcement, UNI's price increased over 40% in a few hours, reaching a two-month high. CryptoQuant's CEO suggested Uniswap could see a supply shock due to potential token burns. BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes also re-entered the Uniswap market, purchasing 28,670 UNI tokens. Analysts predict further upside potential if UNI breaks above the $9-$10 range.

Visa is piloting a program to allow businesses to make payments directly to recipients in USDC, a type of stablecoin, primarily targeting freelance workers and creators. This pilot aims to provide faster cross-border payments, especially for those in regions with limited access to traditional banking. Businesses in the U.S. can fund these payouts in traditional currency, while recipients will receive USDC in their compatible digital wallets, provided they meet standard identity verification requirements. Visa has been involved in crypto and stablecoin flows, facilitating over $140 billion since 2020 and intends to expand the program further by mid-2026, contingent on demand and regulatory developments.

TRON's TRX is showing strength as it trends towards $0.30, while other cryptocurrencies are struggling. A daily close above $0.298 would signal a bullish shift. Currently, TRX is trading near $0.299, testing this resistance. Buying pressure is evident in lower timeframes, as long as $0.296 holds as support. Liquidity clusters around $0.303 and $0.328 could act as targets, but overcoming these resistances with strong volume is necessary for a sustained uptrend. The coin has been moving independently, attracting traders due to its relative strength. On-Balance Volume and Relative Strength Index indicators are leaning bullish but haven't fully confirmed it. Breaking above $0.30 on high volume is crucial. Failure to hold above $0.296 could invalidate the bullish outlook.

Transak, a company that partners with MetaMask, a popular cryptocurrency wallet, has expanded its operations in the United States by obtaining six new money transmitter licenses. These licenses will allow Transak to legally offer its services in more US states, making it easier for users to buy and sell cryptocurrencies directly within the MetaMask wallet and other platforms that use Transak's technology. This expansion aims to provide wider access to cryptocurrency services for US users.

Coinbase and the UK-based stablecoin startup BVNK have called off acquisition talks, a deal that would have been worth approximately $2 billion. While both companies describe the split as mutual, some believe regulatory uncertainty stemming from the Bank of England's proposed stablecoin framework, valuation disagreements, and compliance concerns may have contributed to the decision. The Bank of England's proposal included a holding limit of 20,000 per UK-based stablecoin for investors in the UK, which has been criticized. Despite this setback, Coinbase is continuing to pursue other growth opportunities, including a partnership with Citi to provide 24/7 digital asset payment services to institutions, with plans to incorporate stablecoins. In separate news, Coinbase reported strong Q3 2025 results, with transaction revenues more than doubling year-over-year, and subscription and services revenue exceeding expectations. Following this positive report, a Coinbase director sold 9,180 shares for approximately $3 million. Coinbase's stock closed at $304.01, down 4.3%, but is up 22% year-to-date.

Shiba Inu has partnered with Unity Nodes, a mobile engine network built on blockchain. This partnership aims to give SHIB holders a way to use their tokens for real-world applications. SHIB will now be used to power the Unity Nodes network, giving the token new utility.

Global sales of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles increased by 23% in October, reaching 1.9 million units. China remains the dominant market, accounting for over half of all global electric vehicle sales. European sales rose, driven by Germany, France, and the UK, while North American sales dropped significantly by 41% following the expiration of a $7,500 tax credit. Specifically in the UK, BYD's sales have surpassed Tesla's, with BYD registering almost seven times more new cars than Tesla last month. The UK is now BYD's largest market outside of China, as Tesla faces increased competition and negative sentiment in Europe. Overall, the European and Chinese markets are expected to maintain strong sales momentum through the end of the year.

Major DeFi protocols like Uniswap, Lido, and Aave are starting to use token buybacks, similar to stock buybacks in traditional finance, to boost token value. Uniswap is considering using protocol fees to buy back and burn UNI tokens, potentially generating $38 million monthly. Lido proposed a system to repurchase LDO tokens when Ethereum's price is high. Other protocols, like Jupiter and dYdX, are also allocating revenue to buybacks. Keyrock data indicates that about 64% of revenue across major protocols is flowing back to tokenholders. While buybacks can support token prices, concerns are rising about over-reliance on treasury reserves and the potential for centralized control, possibly undermining decentralization. The shift reflects DeFi's increasing alignment with institutional finance, using familiar metrics to attract investors, although governance changes may concentrate authority and impact transparency.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $103,500, having decreased by 2% in the last 24 hours but remaining slightly up for the week. It's being closely watched as it tests its 365-day moving average, a level that has historically acted as support during uptrends. A break below this average could signal a significant price drop, potentially mirroring a past event where a similar break led to a 66% decline. Analysis of past Bitcoin cycles suggests a pattern of rallies followed by corrections, with a potential bottom for the current cycle projected around October 2026 in the $38,000 to $50,000 range. Bitcoin is also facing resistance between $107,000 and $118,000 which is limiting potential short-term gains.

Chainlink (LINK) is facing resistance around the $16.38 price level. After a recent decline from $16.36, the price has found support at $15.24. Analysts are anticipating a potential breakout, with some predicting a significant price increase to $100, despite short-term price fluctuations.

Federal Reserve officials are increasingly divided on whether to cut interest rates in December. This disagreement stems from differing views on whether recent tariff-related cost increases will fade and whether weak hiring reflects falling demand or a tight labor market. The government shutdown further complicated the situation by halting the release of key economic data, forcing policymakers to rely on less reliable sources. Some officials, labeled 'hawks,' worry that tariff costs could sustain inflation above the Fed's 2% target, while others, the 'doves,' believe weakening labor data justifies a rate cut. Despite the uncertainty, many investors still anticipate a rate cut in December, but the debate within the Fed has made the timing less certain. The division within the Fed is unusual and has made markets uneasy.

JPMorgan has launched JPM Coin (JPMD), a new deposit token for its institutional clients, on the Coinbase's Base network. This token represents U.S. dollar deposits held at JPMorgan, allowing for faster and around-the-clock money transfers through the Base network. The launch follows testing with companies like Mastercard, Coinbase, and B2C2. JPMorgan plans to expand access to more clients and introduce versions in other currencies, potentially including a euro-based variant with the ticker JPME, once regulatory approval is secured. Deposit tokens, unlike stablecoins, can also generate returns on the underlying funds. JPMorgan's existing Kinexys Digital Payments network already processes over $3 billion in USD, EUR, and GBP transfers daily. Other financial institutions such as Citigroup, Banco Santander, Deutsche Bank, and PayPal are also exploring using digital assets for payments.

Paradigm, a major holder of the HYPE token, has significantly increased its stake in Hyperliquid by depositing a large portion of its HYPE holdings for staking, showing a commitment to the platform's staking economy. On-chain data confirms Paradigm holds approximately 1.91% of the HYPE supply and locked $581 million in staking, delegating some to the Anchorage validator. Some of Paradigm's HYPE stake has been transferred to the Sonnet Biotherapeutics treasury as part of a merger, potentially for passive income generation. Hyperliquid has also re-injected $80 million to buy back HYPE to support the price, which is currently trading just below $40 after recovering from recent lows. HYPE open interest is $1.36B with 70% of traders in long positions, and Hyperliquid anticipates a future breakout to $100.

Bitcoin's typical November price increases may not happen this year. Bitcoin's price has been stuck between $106,000 and $116,000 for two weeks due to continued selling by long-term holders and weak demand from institutions after a big drop in October. Long-term holders are selling about 104,000 BTC each month. Analysts predict that unless more investors start buying Bitcoin, the price will likely stay in the same range, with a chance of falling to $100,000. The Federal Reserve has stopped reducing its balance sheet and lowered interest rates, adding more money into the economy. However, there is disagreement among Fed officials about future interest rate cuts, with concerns about both inflation and a weak job market. Economic indicators show mixed signals, including slowing wage growth and declining consumer confidence. Without a significant increase in demand, Bitcoin is expected to trade within a limited range for the rest of the month.

Brazil's central bank is introducing stricter regulations for the cryptocurrency market to combat scams, fraud, and money laundering. These rules, set to take effect in February 2026, will require authorization for various crypto-related businesses, including brokers and service providers. The regulations classify stablecoin transactions as foreign exchange operations and enhance customer protection and anti-money laundering measures, aligning crypto service providers with traditional financial institutions. In related news, the Bank of England is proposing rules allowing stablecoin issuers to invest up to 60% of their backing assets in government debt. However, the Bank of England is also considering capping the amount of stablecoins that individuals and businesses can hold and is exploring providing central bank liquidity to systemic stablecoin issuers during market stress.

Tom Lee, co-founder of Funstrat, predicts Ethereum could surge to between $9,000 and $12,000 by January. He believes this increase will be driven by Wall Street's increasing interest in tokenizing assets and growing expectations for smart-contract platforms, which Ethereum supports. Lee suggests that while Bitcoin's value could also significantly increase, Ethereum has a higher potential for near-term growth because of its fundamental role in supporting stablecoins and tokenized assets. He also points to a larger, long-term cycle involving AI and technology driving market growth. He believes that institutional investors, who have been hesitant to invest, are now likely to buy equities and crypto, which could push Ethereum's price up substantially by the end of the year or early next year.

Hedera (HBAR) is struggling to break through the $0.20 price level, facing repeated rejections and indicating uncertainty among investors. While there's been a slight increase in money flowing into HBAR, suggesting more buying activity, this hasn't translated into a significant price increase. Traders are indecisive, fluctuating between buying and selling, which prevents a consistent upward trend. HBAR's price is currently around $0.179, down 8% in the last 24 hours, and it recently failed to surpass a resistance level of $0.194. It's expected that HBAR will likely stay within the $0.175 to $0.194 range for the near future. A drop below $0.175 could lead to a further decline to $0.162.

Bernstein, a financial firm, has stated that the current regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies in the United States is positioning the country to become a leader in the global crypto market. The statement implies that the U.S. approach to regulating crypto, even with its challenges, is creating a foundation for growth and innovation in the digital asset space, potentially attracting more businesses and investment.

Dogecoin's price is showing signs of weakening as long-term holders are selling off their coins, indicated by a drop in Mean Coin Age to 375 days from 404 days earlier in November and a spike of 693.07 million DOGE spent on Monday. This selling pressure coincides with reduced interest in Dogecoin futures, with Open Interest declining from $1.48 billion to $1.43 billion, suggesting a risk-off sentiment among traders. Technically, Dogecoin is struggling to stay above $0.17, with potential support levels at $0.15704 and $0.12896 if the downtrend continues. A failure to reclaim the $0.18527 level could lead to further price declines, while a move above this resistance could signal a potential rally towards the 50-day EMA near $0.19914.

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has revised its outlook, now projecting that global oil demand may continue to rise until 2050, a change from earlier expectations of a peak and decline due to a shift to cleaner energy. The IEA also anticipates a significant expansion in global liquefied natural gas (LNG) export capacity, potentially growing by 50% by the end of the decade. This surge in LNG supply could lead to an oversupply situation around 2030, particularly impacting American suppliers due to their flexible production capabilities. The IEA's projections are based on different scenarios considering the pace of energy transitions and climate goals, with the 'current policies' scenario forecasting a 13% increase in oil demand by mid-century, reaching 113 million barrels per day. Global energy demand is expected to climb by 15% by 2035, also based on current policies.

The article discusses a potential increase in Bitcoin's price volatility. A chart analysis suggests that a period of relative price stability may be ending. The article names three possible reasons that could cause the price to move up or down more dramatically. These reasons include the possibility of the U.S. Federal Reserve changing monetary policy, regulatory developments concerning cryptocurrencies, and macroeconomic factors.

The cryptocurrency market is showing cautious optimism as Bitcoin is holding above $103,000. The overall market capitalization is below $3.5 trillion and market sentiments remain fearful. Bitcoin's support is around $101,000 with resistance near $108,000-$109,000. Ethereum is trading around $5,350, needing a breakout above $5,450, while XRP is holding above $1.10 and needs to close above $1.20 for further gains. BNB has slipped below $1000, Dogecoin is around $0.172, and Cardano is near $0.55. Investors are waiting for U.S. inflation data and Federal Reserve comments, which could influence market direction. Renewed activity from Hong Kong and Singapore is helping the market. Keep an eye on ETF and whale transactions around the $101,000 Bitcoin level.

SoFi has become the first nationally chartered US bank to allow customers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies within their existing banking app. This move is expected to increase crypto adoption by making it easier for mainstream users to access digital assets and could lead other banks to follow suit. This development is seen as positive for non-custodial wallets like Best Wallet, as they provide a place for users to utilize their crypto for activities like staking and swapping. The Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is currently in presale, priced at $0.025935 per token, and has already raised over $16.9 million. Holding $BEST provides benefits like reduced fees and early access to token presales. The presale includes staking rewards up to 77% APY and the price of $BEST will increase in 16 days.

Sui's crypto price is currently around $2.00, after falling from a recent high. It's experiencing a slight decline in market value and is being watched closely by analysts. A key support level is identified between $1.85 and $2.00. If the price drops below $2.00, it could trigger more selling. However, if the price bounces from this level, it could potentially rally towards $2.16 and possibly $2.37 in the coming days. Analysts note this setup could lead to significant price movements. The situation is considered slightly bearish in the short-term, but a strong buyer response could lead to a sharp price increase.

The Cardano Card has launched, enabling over 6 million Wirex users in 130 countries to spend ADA and other cryptocurrencies in stores and online. This is intended to facilitate real-world adoption of Cardano. From a trading perspective, ADA's price is under pressure, trading below its moving averages. The $0.50-$0.55 level is critical support; holding above it could lead to a price increase towards $0.70. However, breaking below $0.50 could trigger further selling. Analyst Ali highlights $0.50 as a key level for ADA, a hold could spark renewed bullish momentum toward $0.70.

Foxconn's third-quarter earnings surged 17% to $66.2 billion, driven by strong demand for AI servers using Nvidia chips. Net profit was NT$57.67 billion, exceeding forecasts.

The cryptocurrency market is recovering in November 2025, with Bitcoin rising nearly 4% to over $104,000, pushing the total market capitalization above $3.6 trillion. Ethereum is up over 7%, trading above $3,600, and other altcoins like Solana and Cardano are also showing gains. This recovery is driven by factors like the approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), Ethereum's AI integration plans, and clearer crypto policies in the US. While Bitcoin ETFs saw outflows, Solana ETFs saw inflows, suggesting diversification into emerging assets. Memecoins like Dogecoin are also experiencing gains due to renewed investor interest. Currently MaxiDoge is available in pre-sale. MaxiDoge is a memecoin based on Ethereum that offers early participants a chance to invest at around $0.0002655 per token.

The U.S. government shutdown is poised to end as a House panel has approved a Senate-backed funding deal. This development averts a potential crisis and ensures the continuation of government operations, which could positively influence market stability.

In early November 2025, Bitcoin's price fell below $100,000, marking a 20% drop from its October peak and erasing over a trillion dollars from the total cryptocurrency market value. Over $20 billion in leveraged positions were liquidated in the past week. Altcoins like Ethereum and Solana also experienced significant declines, contributing to an environment of extreme fear reflected in CoinMarketCap's Fear and Greed Index. This volatility is attributed to decreased capital inflows into Bitcoin ETFs and institutional sales of approximately $45 billion in the last month. Reduced institutional buying and cautious expectations regarding central bank interest rate cuts have further contributed to the downturn. The article then pivots to discuss the presale of Best Wallet, a digital wallet emphasizing secure storage, exchange, and management of cryptocurrencies with features like staking and multi-blockchain support. It suggests that Best Wallet, with its user-friendly interface and security measures, presents a strategic opportunity for new investors to enter the crypto market during this downturn by acquiring tokens at favorable initial prices.

The Japanese yen has fallen to 154.79 against the dollar, a nine-month low, prompting financial regulators in Japan to consider intervention. The yen's 7% decline over three months is attributed to the current prime minister's focus on economic growth rather than tightening monetary policy, leading to expectations of continued low interest rates. Japanese officials are signaling they are closely monitoring the markets. The weak yen is impacting local households and small businesses due to increased costs for imported energy and raw materials, leading to inflation in essential goods. The United States has also expressed concerns that the weak yen gives Japanese companies a trade advantage. Japan's Finance Ministry may intervene by buying yen and selling dollars, using its foreign reserves, which totaled around $1.15 trillion in October. The government has expressed a high level of concern, reminiscent of July 2024, when nearly $100 billion was spent intervening in the yen's crash. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama has acknowledged the negative impacts of the weak yen and noted the government is watching currency moves with urgency.

Analysts are paying close attention to a potential giveaway of FUNToken, suggesting it could be the catalyst needed for the token's price to increase significantly. The potential giveaway is being viewed as a positive development that could drive increased demand and trading volume for FUNToken.

Coinbase has launched its Coinbase Business platform in Singapore, marking its first international expansion. This platform is designed for startups and small businesses and provides tools for using cryptocurrency, specifically USDC, for payments, global money transfers, and managing their crypto assets. The move builds on Coinbase's collaboration with the Monetary Authority of Singapore to promote digital payments. Businesses can use USDC for global payments with transaction fees of 1%, which is much lower than traditional credit card fees, and they can also earn interest on their USDC. Coinbase is partnering with Standard Chartered Bank to allow fast transfers of Singapore dollars. Coinbase believes stablecoins like USDC strengthen the US banking system by increasing the dollars international use, with most demand for stablecoins coming from international users, with much of the activity on DeFi platforms.

The global financial system is undergoing a major upgrade with SWIFT transitioning to the ISO 20022 messaging standard this month, replacing its older MT system. This change requires all global banks to update their systems to handle ISO 20022 payments. The adoption of this new standard is expected to improve the integration between traditional finance and blockchain networks. Cryptocurrencies like XRP, XLM, XDC, and HBAR are designed to be compatible with ISO 20022, potentially making them more suitable for use within the global banking infrastructure. This upgrade could facilitate smoother cross-border payments and transactions for real-world use cases.

Bitwise's proposed Chainlink ETF, symbolized as CLNK, has been added to the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (DTCC) pre-launch list, suggesting it's nearing approval. The DTCC's involvement is a positive sign, though SEC approval is still required before the ETF can begin trading. Bitwise submitted its application to the SEC for this ETF in August, aiming to track the performance of Chainlink's native token, which powers a network providing real-time data to blockchain smart contracts. The SEC's review process has been slowed down by the government shutdown, but the potential passing of a funding bill in the Senate could expedite the approval process for this and other pending cryptocurrency investment products. Bitwise has not yet submitted Form 8-A which is required to start trading on any exchange.
