TD Cowen, Research Division

Everyone, and thank you for joining us at TD Cowen's 2025 Treatment Advances in Obesity Summit. I'm Joe Thome, one of the senior biotech analysts here on the team at TD Cowen. And it is my pleasure to have with me today Dr. James Hamilton, who is the Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research and Development of Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals. So thanks for joining us.

Maybe before we get into some of the specific programs, it might be helpful just to level set and kick off the discussion with just a brief overview of Arrowhead's recent progress and accomplishments. Obviously, we saw the update on the Sarepta partnership this morning, which is great to see. And then maybe what should investors be expecting into the end of the year and into 2026? And then we can kind of go from there.

James Hamilton
Chief Medical Officer and Head of R&D

Yes, sure. Happy to cover all of that, and thanks for having me. Thanks for the invitation to present today. In terms of what we have going forward end of this year, into next year, of course, I'm sure everybody saw the recent first approval of REDEMPLO in FCS. And we've got -- our quarterly call is tomorrow, so we'll give some updates on launch progress around REDEMPLO.

Then in addition to that, specific to the obesity space, we do still plan to provide an update and release some data from our INHBE and ALK7 programs over that time frame. Probably like first

("Walhalla"), whereby the Company will distribute the shares of Walhalla to the shareholders of GPAC. Walhalla will then own the Walhalla Gold Project in Victoria, Australia.

An Information Circular (the "Circular") setting forth the transaction details was filed on www.sedarplus.ca prior to the special meeting. Shareholders overwhelmingly approved without amendment the special resolution provided in Schedule A of the Circular for a statutory arrangement under section 288 of the Business Corporation Act (British Columbia) which involves, among other things, the distribution of common shares of Walhalla to shareholders of the Company on the basis of one Walhalla common share for each common share of the Company held, all as more particularly described in the Circular.

Shareholders of the Company also approved without amendment an ordinary resolution to approve a stock option plan for Walhalla.

Final court approval for the Spin Out is scheduled for December 4, 2025. Following court approval, the official record date on which a shareholder must be a registered shareholder of GPAC to receive the Spin Out share in Walhalla will be set.

"We have steadily been advancing the financial, technical and legal documentation to support the Spin Out for the past six months and we are pleased to see the transaction nearing closing," stated Greg McCunn, CEO of Great Pacific Gold. "The spin-out of Walhalla enables GPAC shareholders to retain full and direct exposure to a district-scale gold project in a proven jurisdiction. Walhalla has multiple drill ready targets, a rich mining history and is now consolidated under a single entity. We look forward to transitioning the Walhalla Project to the incoming board and management with preparation work for drilling the highly prospective Pinnacles target in early 2026 underway."

About Great Pacific Gold

Great Pacific Gold's vision is to become the leading gold-copper development company in Papua New Guinea ("PNG"). The Company has a portfolio of exploration-stage projects in PNG, as follows:

Wild Dog Project: the Company's flagship project is located in the East New Britain province of PNG. The project consists of a large-scale epithermal target, the Wild Dog structural corridor, stretching 15 km in strike length and potentially over 1,000 meters deep based on a recent MobileMT geophysics survey. The survey also highlighted the Magiabe porphyry target, adjacent to the epithermal target and potentially 1,000 meters in diameter and over 2,000 meters deep. Drilling of the epithermal structure on the Sinivit target has yielded high-grade results, including WDG-08 which intercepted 8.4 meters at 50 g/t AuEq from 154 meters. The current drilling program will extend into 2026 with second drill rig expecting to be operational in February 2026.

Kesar Project: located in the Eastern Highlands province of PNG and contiguous with the mine tenements of K92 Mining Inc. ("K92"), the Kesar Project is a greenfield exploration project with several high-priority targets in close proximity to the property boundary with K92. Multiple epithermal veins at Kesar are on strike and have the same orientation as key K92 deposits, such as Kora. Exploration work to date by the Company at the Kesar Project has shown that these veins have high grades of gold present in outcrop and very elevated gold in soil grades, coincident with aeromagnetic highs. The Company conducted a diamond drill program on key target areas at the Kesar Project from November 2024 to May 2025 and have developed a follow-up Phase 2 program for 2026.

Arau Project: also located in the Eastern Highlands province of PNG, the Arau Project is south of and contiguous to the mine tenements of K92. Arau contains the highly prospective Mt. Victor exploration target with potential for a high sulfidation epithermal gold-base metal deposit. A Phase 1 Reverse Circulation drilling program was completed at Mt. Victor in August 2024, with encouraging results. The Arau Project includes the Elandora licence, which also contains various epithermal and copper-gold porphyry targets.

The Company also holds the Tinga Valley Project in PNG.

Simon Kim, founder of blockchain-focused venture capital firm Hashed, has introduced a real-time Ethereum valuation dashboard that estimates Ethereum's fair value at $4,747.4. With Ethereum currently trading around $3,022.3, the tool suggests the cryptocurrency is undervalued by roughly 56.9%.

In the past year, AAVE has displayed remarkable financial resilience, maintaining a robust annual revenue of $100 million despite the broader decentralized finance (DeFi) market facing a significant downturn. This achievement comes in the context of the DeFi ecosystem's struggle, marked by a staggering $60 billion reduction in market capitalization.

Bitwise Asset Management has introduced the Bitwise Dogecoin ETF (NYSE: BWOW), giving investors an exchange-traded avenue to gain exposure to Dogecoin (DOGE). The ETF features a management fee of 0.34%, with an initial 0% fee on the first $500 million in assets under management.

Bitwise has taken another major step toward launching the first U.S. spot Avalanche (AVAX) exchange-traded fund capable of generating staking rewards, updating its S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The revised proposal introduces several key changes designed to position the fund—now expected to trade under the ticker BAVA—as one of the most cost-effective and feature-rich AVAX investment products available to traditional investors.

The most notable update is the adjustment of the ETF’s sponsor fee to 0.34%, making it cheaper than competing Avalanche ETF proposals from VanEck at 0.40% and Grayscale at 0.50%. Bitwise also plans to offer a temporary full fee waiver for the first month on the initial $500 million in assets, further strengthening its appeal for investors seeking low-cost AVAX exposure.

A defining feature of the updated filing is its allowance for the trust to stake up to 70% of its AVAX holdings on Avalanche’s proof-of-stake network. This would enable the ETF to generate additional AVAX tokens as rewards. While Bitwise intends to take a 12% share of the staking yield to cover expenses, the remaining rewards would be distributed to shareholders—an advantage competitors currently cannot offer, as their filings do not yet include staking capabilities.

This marks one of the first U.S. ETF proposals to fully adopt staking following recent IRS guidance that clarified the tax treatment of yield-generating crypto assets within ETFs. Bitwise also introduced new measures to bolster investor protection, including a liquidity reserve, stricter custody arrangements with Coinbase, and updated risk disclosures addressing potential threats such as quantum-computing attacks and exchange vulnerabilities.

If approved, BAVA will list on NYSE Arca, while VanEck and Grayscale plan to debut their Avalanche ETFs on NASDAQ. All three issuers are targeting potential regulatory approval in Q1 2026, setting the stage for a competitive new segment in the crypto ETF landscape.

Bolivia has moved to bring stablecoins into its formal banking system, a shift that could change how people save and pay for things in the country. Banks will be allowed to offer accounts, custody and payment services tied to stablecoins such as USDT, government statements and local reports disclosed.

The move follows a sharp rise in crypto use as people seek ways to hold dollar-pegged value amid currency pressure.

Banks To Offer USDT Accounts
Reports have disclosed that Economy Minister Jose Gabriel Espinoza announced the change, and at least one lender, Banco Bisa, has already begun offering custody and transfer services for USDT.

Based on reports, crypto transactions in Bolivia jumped dramatically last year, with some counts showing growth of more than 500% and figures putting crypto activity at $294 million in the first half of 2025. Those numbers have pushed regulators and banks to respond more directly.

💥 BREAKING: 🇧🇴 Bolivia to integrate Bitcoin and crypto into its financial system, starting with stablecoins pic.twitter.com/Qb0Tj7pern

— Bitcoin Archive (@BitcoinArchive) November 26, 2025

Everyday Payments And Savings
People and businesses are reportedly testing USDT for real payments. Some shops and service providers have shown prices in USDT, and certain sectors — such as car dealers and firms handling imports — are said to be accepting stablecoin payments for some transactions.

According to market observers, the change is partly a response to shortages of physical US dollars and to rising costs that make the local currency less stable for saving. Banks will be able to create savings products denominated in stablecoins, and may offer loans or payment options tied to them.

Total crypto market cap currently at $3.08 trillion. Chart: TradingView
Cross-Border Transfers And Remittances
Based on reports, one obvious use will be cross-border transfers. Stablecoins can offer a dollar-pegged option when access to actual US dollars is limited.

That could help businesses that buy fuel or other imports and families that receive money from abroad. Still, practical hurdles remain: many people are unbanked or lack easy internet access, and broad adoption will take infrastructure, training and clear consumer protections.

Regulatory Limits And Risks
According to analysts, the government’s plan does not make stablecoins legal tender in place of the boliviano. Rather, it lets regulated banks provide crypto-linked services under the financial system.

That means accepting USDT will likely stay voluntary for merchants. There are also risks to watch: stablecoin liquidity, custody safety, and how well banks manage anti-money-laundering rules. Consumer education and stronger oversight will be needed to protect ordinary users.

What Comes Next
Several months of rollout and pilot programs are expected, and observers will be watching transaction volumes and how many banks and businesses sign on.

If the system grows, Bolivia could become an example for neighboring countries facing similar currency stress. But the deeper economic problems that pushed people to crypto — inflation and limited dollar access — will still need government solutions beyond new payment rails.

Based on current reports, the change is a clear policy shift toward regulated crypto use in everyday finance. It is small steps now, but they may matter a lot to people trying to keep their savings stable and move money across borders.

The market is in a weird spot, where a recovery is certainly possible, but the lack of volatility and liquidity is raising a lot of concerns regarding the future of the market. As holidays on the U.S. market conclude, we might see a spike of bearishness on the cryptocurrency market.

Bitcoin's recovery attemptAfter a brutal breakdown in mid-November, Bitcoin has recovered, and the move off the lows is now exhibiting genuine intent rather than a dead-cat bounce. The price swiftly returned to the mid-$80,000s and momentum continued toward the $90,000 region, which is currently serving as a structurally significant point on the chart as well as a psychological barrier. 

BTC/USDT Chart by TradingViewTechnically speaking, the present recovery is valid. Extremely oversold conditions were brought about by the steep sell-off, and the recent increase in volume shows that buyers are not merely passive dip-collectors but are also prepared to push. The steady green volume bars over the past few sessions show that the flow is no longer dominated by panic exits, and the RSI has lifted off the floor, indicating improving momentum. However, it is not a soft ceiling. 

HOT Stories

The 50-, 100- and 200-day EMAs are the three main moving averages that Bitcoin is still trading below, and they are all still on a steep decline. Recovering BTC is a multistep process, and the most recent breakdown pulled them below this entire cluster. Even when the short-term momentum is bullish, the structure's inertia is still bearish. The current price of $90,000 is where the first real challenge is located.

It makes sense for sellers to reappear at this level which served as support during the early stages of the decline. Nevertheless, the recovery push has been exceptionally powerful, and a breakout above $90,000 is very likely if buyers can maintain their pressure. The declining 50-EMA is waiting at $94,000-$96,000 if the daily close is clean and above $90,000. The real test will be that area; regaining it would change the discussion from relief rally to trend reversal attempt.

Shiba Inu's turning pointShiba Inu is at a turning point where a new rally could start; the word "can" is important because the setup is encouraging but not certain. Following weeks of pressure and a clear structural decline, SHIB eventually recorded a series of higher lows along with a minor, but discernible, increase in buying volume. That is the first indication that sell-side fatigue may be beginning.

The price has now returned to the range of $0.0000085-$0.0000090, which has historically served as a short-term pivot. The market typically attempts at least a midsized recovery wave, and SHIB finds support here. Additionally, the RSI is rising from extremely oversold levels and is currently in the mid-40s, a neutral area that frequently precedes acceleration if buyers intervene forcefully.

You Might Also Like

The actual opportunity, however, is a little bit higher. The declining 20-day EMA is getting closer to SHIB, and the 50- and 100-day EMAs are stacked downward just above it. The rally could pick up speed quickly if SHIB is able to break through this resistance-heavy cluster of moving averages. A period of grinding consolidation is followed by a sudden spike when liquidity flips, which is the same pattern we have frequently observed in prior SHIB cycles. Here, new inflows are completely feasible.

After recent volatility, the market is stabilizing, and once broader crypto confidence returns, meme assets usually function as high-beta plays. The next liquidity pockets are located at $0.0000095 and even $0.0000105 — if volume increases significantly from these levels.

Even so, nothing is certain. There is still a general downward trend. The 200-day EMA is angled downward and significantly higher than the current price, indicating that long-term sentiment has not changed. SHIB would swiftly return to the mid-$0.0000070s if the short-term EMAs are not regained.

XRP's underlying effortAlthough XRP is making an effort to gain momentum, the chart indicates that the market is still caught between early signs of recovery and a more general bearish structure. Technically sound and clean was the bounce from the lower edge of the falling channel. Buyers firmly defended the $2.00-$2.10 range, which is precisely where XRP has historically experienced reactive demand. The current price is in the midchannel zone as a result of that reaction.

Momentum is increasing, at least temporarily. The RSI moved out of oversold territory and is currently moving in the direction of the mid-40s, which typically signals increased buyer activity if the price continues to rise. The volume during the bounce was also higher than usual; it was not a complete reversal spike, but it was sufficient to show that participants who had been sidelined had returned.

You Might Also Like

However, the ceiling above is significant. XRP is facing a group of declining moving averages that slope downward, including the 20-EMA, 50-EMA and 100-EMA. That is a classic indication that the market is still in a medium-term downward trend. Any bullish momentum is speculative until the price breaks through that compression zone, which is approximately between $2.30 and $2.50. While the asset is still respecting lower highs and a falling channel, we cannot declare a change in trend.

Two realistic scenarios should be anticipated by investors.

Persistence of momentum: The next area of interest is $2.50-$2.55, where the 50-EMA and horizontal resistance converge, if XRP moves above $2.36 (20-EMA) and holds. The channel is weakening, and buyers are gaining ground if there is a clean breakout above this zone. A more significant trend reversal may then begin to take shape.

The price will probably move back toward the channel midpoint, or even retest the lower boundary around $2.05-$2.10, if XRP is rejected around current levels. In that case, any recovery narrative is postponed, and the broader downtrend is maintained.

Balancer DAO is moving forward with a compensation plan weeks after its Balancer v2 vaults were hit by a major exploit that drained more than $110 million. The decentralized autonomous organization is now discussing a proposal to redistribute roughly $8 million in recovered assets to affected liquidity providers (LPs), offering a partial but meaningful recovery following one of the protocol’s biggest security incidents to date.

According to an RFC posted by contributor Xeonus, the recovered funds were secured shortly after the November 3 attack by whitehat hackers and internal teams. The proposal outlines a structured payout for whitehat participants and a reimbursement process for users based on a snapshot of their pool positions at the moment the exploit occurred. These efforts follow Balancer’s Safe Harbor Agreement, a framework designed to guide ethical fund recovery while capping bounties at $1 million and requiring full KYC and sanctions screening for participating whitehats. Some rescuers on Arbitrum chose to remain anonymous, opting out of any bounty.

The $8 million in tokens spans multiple networks—including Ethereum, Polygon, Base and Arbitrum—and includes assets such as WETH, rETH, WPOL and MaticX. Affected LPs will be reimbursed in the same assets they originally supplied, distributed on a pro-rata, per-pool basis. A new claims portal is under development and will require users to accept updated terms of use if the DAO formally approves the plan.

Beyond the DAO-managed pool, another $19.7 million in osETH and osGNO recovered by StakeWise will be processed separately. An additional $4.1 million rescued internally with support from Certora will not qualify for bounty rewards due to prior agreements.

The exploit, triggered by a vulnerability in Balancer’s smart contract access controls, marks the protocol’s third major security lapse. Since the attack, Balancer’s total value locked has plunged from about $775 million to $258 million, while its BAL token has dropped roughly 30%, highlighting the significant impact on community confidence and the broader DeFi ecosystem.

XRP is attempting to build upward momentum, but current market structure shows the asset caught between early recovery signals and an overall bearish trend. Recent price action highlights a technically clean rebound from the lower boundary of its falling channel, a zone that historically attracts strong demand. Buyers defended the $2.00–$2.10 support range convincingly, creating a reaction that pushed XRP back into the mid-channel region.

Momentum indicators are showing modest improvement. The RSI has risen out of oversold territory and is moving toward the mid-40s, often a sign that buyer interest is returning if price continues upward. Trading volume during the bounce also increased beyond typical levels. Although not indicative of a full trend reversal, it suggests that previously inactive participants are reentering the market.

However, XRP still faces significant overhead resistance. The price must contend with a cluster of downward-sloping moving averages — the 20-EMA, 50-EMA and 100-EMA — all reinforcing the medium-term bearish outlook. Until XRP breaks above this compression zone, roughly between $2.30 and $2.50, any bullish momentum remains speculative. The broader market structure continues to show lower highs and adherence to the falling channel, limiting the argument for a confirmed trend change.

Investors should watch two possible scenarios. If XRP can reclaim and hold above $2.36, aligned with the 20-EMA, the next key target becomes the $2.50–$2.55 region, where horizontal resistance intersects the 50-EMA. A clean breakout here would weaken the channel and potentially signal the early stages of a trend reversal.

Alternatively, failure to break current resistance could send the price back toward the channel midpoint or even retest the $2.05–$2.10 support range. Such a rejection would delay any recovery narrative and reinforce the prevailing downtrend.

Bitcoin advocate Max Keiser believes the crypto market may be gearing up for a new all-time high, driven by a massive expansion in derivatives linked to BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF (IBIT). In a recent X post, Keiser noted that Nasdaq’s filing to expand IBIT’s options contracts could dramatically alter market dynamics, calling the move a game-changer for institutional liquidity.

According to Keiser, the 40x growth in options contract size removes the size barriers that previously limited market makers. He had earlier warned that these constraints could trigger price pullbacks, which aligns with the recent market correction. Nasdaq’s request to raise IBIT options limits to 1 million contracts reflects expectations of significantly larger institutional inflows—far beyond what the current market structure supports.

Market analysts share similar sentiments. Expert Jeff Park welcomed the expansion, stating that institutional volume has finally reached levels deserving of a mega-cap derivatives class. He previously argued that the existing 25,000-contract cap was far too restrictive and that hundreds of thousands should be the baseline.

The implications of this expansion could be substantial for Bitcoin’s price trajectory. Keiser and other experts suggest that larger contract sizes will encourage market makers and institutional players to accumulate more BTC to provide deeper liquidity. This could help tighten spreads, strengthen order books, and support higher price levels over time.

Industry analyst Adam Livingston called the development the week’s most important news, noting that Bitcoin’s inclusion in a mega-cap derivatives tier opens the door to new financial engineering opportunities. Banks, for instance, will be able to offer structured products backed by Bitcoin without breaching risk thresholds. JPMorgan’s recently announced Bitcoin-backed structured notes tied to BlackRock’s IBIT underline this shift.

As limits increase, institutional sellers can enter the market more effectively, smoothing short-term volatility and reinforcing long-term bullish momentum. With these structural upgrades, Bitcoin appears closer than ever to testing new all-time highs.

TLDR21Shares TSOL Drives First Outflow Since LaunchBSOL, FSOL, and Grayscale Support Broader Solana ETF IntakeMarket Activity Slows Across Solana NetworkXRP and Bitcoin ETFs Outpace ExpectationsGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

Solana ETFs recorded $8.1 million in net outflows on Wednesday, ending a 21-day inflow streak.
The TSOL fund from 21Shares led the outflows with a single-day withdrawal of over $34 million.
BSOL from Bitwise added $13.33 million in inflows, showing continued institutional interest in Solana ETFs.
Grayscale and Fidelity’s Solana funds also gained capital, helping to offset the TSOL pullback.
Solana ETF products now hold around 6.83 million SOL tokens valued near $964 million.

U.S. spot Solana ETFs posted $8.1 million in outflows on Wednesday, ending a 21-day positive streak. This marks the first net outflow session since the launch of Solana ETFs earlier this month. The pullback reflects mixed institutional positioning, despite overall market growth for the asset class.

21Shares TSOL Drives First Outflow Since Launch
The 21Shares Solana ETF, TSOL, led the downturn with over $34 million in single-day withdrawals. TSOL’s total net outflows now stand at $26 million, while its assets under management dropped to $86 million. This shift broke the uninterrupted streak of gains and weighed on broader Solana ETF performance.

According to SoSoValue data, the withdrawal disrupted one of the fastest-growing ETF segments among non-Bitcoin crypto assets. TSOL had earlier driven much of the momentum in Solana ETF demand since launch. However, Wednesday’s movement suggests a shift in sentiment toward the product.

Despite the decline in TSOL, other issuers absorbed new capital and helped reduce overall pressure. The event underlined divergent investor behavior across competing Solana ETFs. Market participants viewed this as a short-term correction in an otherwise strong inflow trend.

BSOL, FSOL, and Grayscale Support Broader Solana ETF Intake
The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, BSOL, registered $13.33 million in inflows during the same session. This intake lifted BSOL’s cumulative total to $527.79 million, reaffirming investor preference for staking-backed products. BSOL has remained the top-performing Solana ETF since inception.

Grayscale’s Solana Trust added $10.42 million, while Fidelity’s FSOL fund received $2.51 million. These flows balanced the impact of TSOL’s outflow and kept weekly performance in positive territory. Combined, Solana ETFs still saw a $103 million weekly net addition.

Solana ETF products now hold 6.83 million SOL tokens, currently valued around $964 million. Net assets across all Solana ETFs total $917.99 million, showing steady institutional interest. November accounted for $414.01 million of those inflows, compared to October’s $199.21 million.

ETF data highlights continued support for Solana from institutional platforms, despite uneven daily performance. The pullback in one product contrasts with accumulation in others, reflecting selective investor flows. Analysts continue tracking ETF flows for signs of upcoming trends.

Market Activity Slows Across Solana Network
According to Nansen, active Solana addresses declined by 6% over the past week. Network fees also dropped 16%, reflecting reduced user activity and network interaction. Total value locked on the chain declined 32% from its September high.

Current TVL on Solana stands near $9.1 billion, down from a peak of $13.23 billion. Jupiter, Raydium, Jito, and Sanctum protocols posted double-digit TVL losses this month. This suggests a broad slowdown in usage across core Solana platforms.

Technical indicators show Solana trading below its earlier $170 level, within a bearish continuation zone. Analysts identify $140–$145 as a critical support range for potential price movement. Breaks below this zone may confirm further downside targets.

Source: Tradingview
Despite on-chain weakness, Solana ETFs continue attracting new capital at a strong pace. This divergence reflects mixed investor sentiment between institutional ETF demand and retail market caution. Short-term ETF flows are expected to remain volatile.

XRP and Bitcoin ETFs Outpace Expectations
XRP ETFs recorded another $21 million in combined inflows during Wednesday’s session. Bitwise’s XRP ETF led with $7.4 million, followed by Canary’s $5.2 million. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ and Grayscale’s GXRP added nearly $4 million each.

XRP ETFs have not posted any outflows since launch, maintaining a consistent accumulation trend. Their total inflows reached $643 million, continuing to build institutional interest. Momentum in XRP products remains strong despite Solana’s midweek setback.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs added $21.12 million in inflows on November 26. Their total cumulative intake now stands at $57.63 billion, with daily trading above $4.5 billion. Ethereum ETFs brought in over $60 million in three straight sessions but still show net outflows for November.

Ethereum’s total ETF outflows hit $1.50 billion this month, as capital shifted toward Solana ETFs and XRP products. Market data indicates institutional funds remain active across multiple assets. Solana ETFs ended the week strong, despite Wednesday’s outflow interruption.

TLDRXRP Withdrawals Intensify as Accumulation Trend BuildsETFs Align With Falling XRP ReserveAnalysts Project Price Outcomes If Accumulation PersistsGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

The XRP reserve on Binance has dropped to 2.7 billion tokens, reaching one of its lowest levels ever recorded.
More than 300 million XRP worth approximately $651 million have been withdrawn from Binance since October 6.
CryptoQuant identified a steady accumulation trend based on recent on-chain activity involving XRP.
Analyst Darkfost explained that most of the withdrawals appear to be long-term holdings rather than simple wallet redistribution.
The decline in XRP reserve aligns with the launch of multiple XRP ETFs including those from Canary Capital and Grayscale.

XRP reserve on Binance has sharply declined since early October, indicating ongoing accumulation activity, CryptoQuant reported on Thursday. Over 300 million XRP worth $651 million have exited Binance wallets, reducing the XRP reserve to just 2.7 billion tokens.

XRP Withdrawals Intensify as Accumulation Trend Builds
The on-chain data shows that XRP outflows from Binance began increasing around October 6.

Since then, the XRP reserve on Binance has dropped to one of its lowest historical levels.

CryptoQuant referenced a detailed analysis by the author Darkfost to support this trend.

He stated, “This isn’t random movement, the accumulation is too consistent to ignore at this scale.” He clarified that while some transfers may involve redistribution, most appear to be actual withdrawals from Binance.

This pattern supports the idea that users are moving XRP to private storage. That move reduces circulating supply on exchanges and lowers short-term sell pressure on the asset. Consequently, the XRP reserve on Binance reflects stronger holder conviction over time.

ETFs Align With Falling XRP Reserve
The decline in XRP reserve coincides with the launch of U.S.-based XRP ETFs. Canary Capital’s XRP ETF launched on November 13, followed by Bitwise, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton.

Darkfost emphasized the correlation between these launches and XRP outflows from Binance. He remarked, “This transforms XRP from a standard asset to an institutional-grade product with multiple investment channels.” He suggested the alignment with ETF launches amplifies the relevance of the declining XRP reserve.

These ETFs offer traditional exposure to XRP for institutional investors. With reduced exchange supply, the XRP reserve on Binance shows the asset’s shift toward long-term holding. This may prepare the asset for broader financial market inclusion.

Analysts Project Price Outcomes If Accumulation Persists
As accumulation grows, analysts are assessing price implications tied to XRP’s reduced availability. Chad Steingraber introduced a valuation model based on projected capital inflows and asset absorption rates.

His model considers an annual $33.6 billion inflow and price sensitivity to demand. Depending on the accumulation pace, XRP could range between $11.25 and $225. These projections follow the ongoing plunge in the XRP reserve on Binance.

CryptoQuant confirmed that over 300 million XRP tokens have already been withdrawn since October. XRP reserve on Binance currently stands at just 2.7 billion tokens.

Key Takeaways
Is this a good time to buy XRP?
Amid market uncertainty, the 2.7 billion decline in Binance’s XRP reserves signals ongoing accumulation, while continuous inflows into XRP Spot ETFs point to rising demand from Wall Street investors.

Is XRP bullish today?
On the intraday level, traders are heavily focused on long positions. So far today, they have built $72.50 billion worth of long positions around the $2.129 level, reflecting strong bullish sentiment.

XRP’s recent 22% upside rally appears to be mirroring its historical structure, as the token has once again taken support at the crucial $1.85 level — a zone that previously triggered several strong reversals.

Since October 2025, XRP has dropped more than 40% amid market uncertainty, but the latest bounce from $1.85 suggests a potential trend reversal is on the horizon.

Binance XRP reserve declines by 2.7 billion
Additionally, the price rebound is further reinforced by a recent analyst report. A crypto analyst shared a post on X, noting that since October 2025, Binance’s XRP reserves have been steadily decreasing.

So far, XRP reserves have plummeted to 2.7 billion, marking one of the lowest levels ever recorded on the platform. The analyst further noted that roughly 300 million XRP have left Binance since the 6th of October.

Exchange reserve is an on-chain tool that tracks token movements, showing whether assets are leaving exchanges or moving into them. This helps identify potential accumulation or upcoming sell-offs.

In this case, the declining exchange reserves point to potential accumulation, which can trigger buying pressure on the asset.

This trend is already reflected in the price, as XRP has jumped 22% over the last five trading sessions.

XRP demand on Wall Street Soars
Besides potential accumulation by crypto whales, traditional Wall Street investors are showing similar behavior.

According to on-chain analytics firm SoSoValue, U.S. XRP Spot ETFs have recorded persistent inflows since their launch on the 14th of November, without a single outflow.

Source: SoSoValue

This indicates that investors are steadily channeling capital into XRP ETFs, highlighting the asset’s strong long-term potential.

XRP price action and key levels 
At press time, XRP was trading at $2.20, up 1.05%, while the Open Interest (OI) jumped by 3.09% to $4.11 billion.

This indicated rising leveraged participation in the market and hinted at growing trader confidence ahead of a potential volatility spike.

According to AMBCrypto’s technical analysis, XRP has successfully retested its key support at $1.85 as it rebounded nearly 20% since then, a level it has been revisiting since December 2024.

Source: TradingView

Historically, whenever the asset has touched the $1.85 level, it has consistently rebounded strongly, with gains of 40%, 60%, or even 70% recorded in the past.

The recent market decline and subsequent support retest mark the sixth visit to this level.

Based on past performance, the repeated rebound from this key support suggests that XRP may still have room for further upside momentum.

Traders’ eyes on long position
Given the current market sentiment, traders appear to be strongly following the trend by betting on long positions.

According to the derivatives platform CoinGlass, XRP’s major liquidation levels stand at $2.129 on the lower side and $2.264 on the upper side.

At these levels, traders have built $72.50 billion worth of long positions and $40.95 billion worth of short positions.

Source: CoinGlass

This indicates that bulls are currently dominating the market, with strong confidence that XRP’s price will not fall below the $2.129 level in the near future.

Bitcoin has recovered above a key resistance level following several days of selling pressure, though institutional selling from U.S.-based investors continues, according to market data.

Summary

After days of selling pressure, Bitcoin has rebounded above a key resistance level.
The Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, signaling that US institutional investors are selling more aggressively than retail traders.
Ongoing outflows from Bitcoin spot ETFs have been identified as a key factor behind the sustained institutional selling.

The Coinbase Premium Index, which compares Bitcoin’s (BTC) price on Coinbase with Binance, remains in negative territory, according to analyst Darkfost. The metric indicates that institutional players and US-based investors are selling more aggressively than retail traders, as Coinbase serves primarily US institutions and professional investors while Binance is widely used by retail participants.

The ongoing sell-side pressure has been attributed in part to continuous spot ETF outflows.

Institutional selling pressure has eased since November 21, when the Coinbase Premium Index showed a sharp decline into negative territory, Darkfost reports. During that period, professional investors were offloading Bitcoin more aggressively than retail participants, contributing to the market’s decline toward recent lows.

While the Coinbase Premium Index remains negative, the depth of that negativity has softened in recent days. The metric has not yet turned positive, but the trend shows improvement, the analyst noted.

Temporary relief or a sustained recovery?
Bitcoin has bounced from the 200-day moving average on the three-day chart, a level that has historically served as major support during corrections. The cryptocurrency pushed back toward a nearby resistance area following the rebound.

Source: CoinGecko
Bitcoin currently trades below both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages, which have turned downward, indicating short-term trend weakness. Volume during the sell-off exceeded volume during the bounce, suggesting sellers were more aggressive than buyers.

The cryptocurrency experienced a sharp correction from its October all-time high. Market participants continue to monitor whether the recent price movement represents a temporary relief bounce or the beginning of a sustained recovery.

South Korea's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, has announced the closure of its USDT trading market and the termination of its order-book-sharing partnership with Australia's Stellar Exchange. The decision came after just two months of operation, reflecting heightened scrutiny from South Korean regulators on anti-money laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance standards.Cryptocurrency exchange reviews

TLDRJPMorgan’s Bitcoin Product Sparks Community OutrageAccusations of Market Manipulation Against StrategyIndex Changes Deepen the BacklashCommunity Calls for Boycott

JPMorgan plans to launch Bitcoin-backed notes in December 2025 that amplify BTC gains or losses by 1.5 times.
The Bitcoin community accuses JPMorgan of trying to destabilize Strategy and other crypto treasury firms.
Critics believe JPMorgan’s new product could trigger margin calls on Bitcoin-backed loans held by crypto firms.
A JPMorgan research note supported a proposed MSCI policy that excludes crypto-heavy companies from stock indexes.
Supporters of Strategy say the policy shift could force firms to sell Bitcoin to remain eligible for index inclusion.

JPMorgan faces backlash from Bitcoin supporters over its proposed Bitcoin-backed notes. Critics say the bank targets Strategy and other crypto treasury companies. The community calls for account closures and a boycott of JPMorgan.

JPMorgan’s Bitcoin Product Sparks Community Outrage
JPMorgan filed with the SEC to launch a Bitcoin-backed note in December 2025. The structured product amplifies Bitcoin’s performance by 1.5 times gains or losses until December 2028. The leveraged nature increases exposure to Bitcoin’s price swings, both up and down.

Many in the Bitcoin community criticized JPMorgan for attempting to disrupt the market. They argue the product directly competes with Bitcoin treasury firms like Strategy. Supporters say JPMorgan benefits if firms such as Strategy lose influence or value.

Critics also claim JPMorgan holds an interest in destabilizing existing BTC corporate strategies.

“JP Morgan is launching Bitcoin-backed bonds to compete,” said a user on X. He added, “The same institutions attacking MSTR are copying the strategy.”

Accusations of Market Manipulation Against Strategy
Bitcoiners say JPMorgan’s move could harm crypto treasuries holding large Bitcoin reserves. Some believe JPMorgan aims to influence price action to its advantage. They accuse the bank of setting up conditions for margin calls on competitors.

Simon Dixon, a Bitcoin advocate, issued a strong warning on X. He said, “It exists to trigger margin calls on Bitcoin-backed loans.” He claimed it would create “force sell pressure” on treasury holders in down markets.

Bitcoin community members call the product an attempt to weaken Strategy’s financial stability. They argue it pressures companies to liquidate assets during downturns. This could damage market confidence and accelerate Bitcoin selloffs.

Index Changes Deepen the Backlash
Criticism against JPMorgan intensified following a research note shared in November. The note highlighted MSCI’s proposed index policy excluding crypto treasury companies. The new policy targets firms with over 50% assets in cryptocurrencies.

The change, set for January, could block such firms from major index inclusion. Supporters of Strategy say this move reduces passive capital flow to these companies. It may also pressure them to reduce BTC holdings to qualify.

JPMorgan’s promotion of the MSCI change angered Bitcoiners further. They view the move as part of a broader agenda. Many now accuse JPMorgan of trying to discredit crypto-focused firms.

Community Calls for Boycott
In response, Bitcoiners launched a campaign against JPMorgan online. They urge account closures and sale of JPMorgan stock by crypto supporters. Posts on X reflect growing frustration and defiance from the community.

Strategy backers continue to rally support across social platforms. They frame JPMorgan’s actions as a threat to decentralized finance. Supporters claim legacy institutions are trying to control Bitcoin’s narrative.

JPMorgan has not issued a response to the public criticism. The community continues its efforts to resist perceived interference. The controversy follows JPMorgan’s expansion into Bitcoin-related financial products.

The small nation’s Ether staking adds to its expanding blockchain activity as it remains one of the few governments holding Bitcoin.

Blockchain data shows the Royal Government of Bhutan has staked 320 Ether (ETH) worth roughly $970,000 through Figment, marking the latest onchain activity from the Himalayan state as it expands its crypto holdings and validator operations.

Figment is a staking provider that helps large investors and institutions stake digital assets across multiple blockchains and earn rewards for securing proof-of-stake networks.

The move adds to a growing wave of Ethereum-focused activity from Bhutan. In October, the South Asian nation of roughly 800,000 people began migrating its self-sovereign digital ID system from Polygon to Ethereum, allowing residents to verify their identities and access government services on the network.

Bhutan crypto transfers. Source: Arkham The Ethereum integration is already live, with all resident credentials expected to be fully migrated by early 2026, said Ethereum Foundation president Aya Miyaguchi at the event launch alongside Vitalik Buterin and Bhutan’s prime minister, Tshering Tobgay.

Bhutan expands crypto footprintBhutan has been leaning into digital assets for years. In 2019, the country quietly began accumulating Bitcoin by tapping its hydropower resources to mine the cryptocurrency. It holds about 6,154 BTC worth over $562 million at current prices, according to Arkham data. 

In July, Bhutan announced plans to boost its tourism industry and attract younger travelers by integrating cryptocurrency payments across the country. Officials said the move, supported by Binance, has nearly 1,000 onboarded merchants and is meant to modernize wire transfers and reduce friction for tourists.

Bhutan’s growing activity mirrors broader trends in institutional and corporate Bitcoin accumulation, where large holders have become increasingly influential in the market.

Among corporate BTC treasury holders, Michael Saylor’s Strategy dominates with 649,870 BTC, while Marathon Holdings ranks a distant second with 53,250 BTC.

The world’s largest known Bitcoin stash still belongs to Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator of the network, who is estimated to control about 1.1 million BTC.

On the day before Thanksgiving, Nasdaq made a significant move with the potential to reshape the cryptocurrency landscape by filing a request with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a new Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This action, although undertaken quietly, could have major implications for both traditional and digital financial markets if the SEC grants approval.

XRP price is currently trading at $2.22 and is testing a key resistance zone.
The price action remains within a descending channel that has shaped its movement for months.
Technical indicators show strong buying strength as the Stoch RSI signals upside momentum.
Sellers continue defending the $2.25 and $2.60 resistance levels with quick rejections.
A breakout above $3.13 could shift the broader trend and open the path toward $3.60.

XRP price currently tests a major resistance zone as buyers and sellers continue their standoff. The value sits at $2.22, directly under the channel’s upper boundary. Momentum grows as technical indicators show bullish pressure at this level.

The XRP price action remains inside a long-term descending channel. However, it now presses firmly against its upper limit. Buyers maintain control near reclaimed support, while sellers defend overhead resistance.

The Stoch RSI %K line reads 97.56 while the %D line stays at 90.06, indicating intense buying strength. This setup often supports upward continuation when it forms near key structural points. XRP price has responded with pressure near the $2.22 level as momentum builds.

XRP Price Compresses as Sellers Hold
Sellers currently hold the line at $2.25, which acts as the nearest resistance barrier. Each attempt above this level has faced strong rejections. Yet, the XRP price structure continues tightening as pressure builds from below.

The next upside target lies at $2.60, where sellers remain active. Above that, a breakout beyond $3.13 would shift the entire structure. This move could open the path toward the $3.60 region if sustained buying follows.

The XRP price has tested the ceiling multiple times without confirmation. Still, buyers return at each dip, forming higher bases. This behavior suggests that the market prepares for a decisive reaction soon.

Falling exchange reserves tighten supply conditions
Binance’s XRP reserves have declined to 2.7 billion, down from nearly 3 billion earlier. Since October, 300 million XRP have left the platform. The steady drain reduces near-term selling pressure.

Withdrawals indicate users are choosing long-term storage over trading. This move lowers the available supply on the books. It also creates cleaner price reactions near support and resistance areas.

Structured investment routes like ETFs add another dynamic. These channels help facilitate larger institutional participation in XRP markets. As access increases, many holders remove coins from exchanges for secure custody.

Lower exchange reserves help reduce volatility around major chart levels. The current XRP price setup benefits from these tightening conditions. It allows price to stabilize as technical patterns evolve.

The XRP price continues to attract attention as it tests an important chart zone with shrinking supply conditions across platforms.

Avalanche (AVAX) is back in the spotlight after reclaiming its position among the top 20 cryptos to surpass Hedera (HBAR), just as Securitize secures EU approval to launch the region’s first fully regulated blockchain-based securities market on the Avalanche network.

This convergence of regulatory momentum, institutional adoption, and renewed technical strength has positioned AVAX for a potential market revival heading into 2026.

Securitize Wins EU Approval and Selects Avalanche for Settlement System
Securitize received regulatory authorization from Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) to operate a tokenized trading and settlement system under the EU’s DLT Pilot Regime.

The approval enables Securitize to passport the license across the European Single Market, including France, Germany, and Italy, creating an unprecedented bridge between its U.S. broker-dealer operations and Europe’s capital markets.

The firm confirmed that the entire infrastructure will run on the Avalanche blockchain, citing sub-second finality, regulatory-grade network performance, and scalable architecture.

This move positions Avalanche at the center of institutional tokenization just as Securitize prepares for a $1.25 billion SPAC merger and expands its portfolio, including managing the now-over $1 billion BlackRock BUIDL on-chain treasury fund.

The first EU-compliant issuance is slated for early 2026, opening the door for a wave of regulated tokenized assets, an estimated $18 trillion market by 2033.

AVAX Price Holds Key Support as Technical Signals Improve
While fundamentals surge, AVAX’s price remains compressed near the long-term support zone around $12–$15. The token recently bounced to $14.94, posting a 6.5% daily gain and breaking above its 7-day moving average at $13.96. It now faces a technical showdown with resistance at the 20-day SMA at $15.21.

Momentum indicators are turning constructive. RSI sits at a healthy 42, MACD shows bullish divergence, and Stochastic momentum favors buyers. A breakout above $15.21 could open the path toward $18.61, with a larger target near $33 if long-term trendlines snap.

However, failure to hold above $13.91 risks retesting deeper support near $12.57.

Institutional Accumulation Strengthens Bullish Outlook
Fueling optimism, AVAX One Treasury recently accumulated over 9.37 million AVAX, spending $110 million between November 5 and 23. Total reserves now exceed 13.8 million AVAX, signaling robust long-term institutional confidence.

On-chain metrics support the bullish case. Deployed contracts are rising, developer activity is expanding, and futures taker data shows increasing buyer dominance. These combined forces suggest that AVAX may be carving out a medium-term bottom.

As institutional momentum builds and Europe’s first regulated blockchain securities market goes live on Avalanche, AVAX’s comeback narrative is gaining traction—and a trend reversal may be closer than the charts imply.
