Market Signal Briefing

Chainlink’s price action has taken a sharp bearish turn in the past 24 hours sweeping the crypto landscape with uncertainty. The asset crumbled below pivotal $17 support while overall market cap retreated 5.65% and trading volumes soared. The drop comes from from heavy institutional selling amplified by a near doubling in volume to the loss of critical technical levels. 

However, some positive developments shine through the gloom such as Virtune’s recent adoption of Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve tech. And ONDO’s integration of LINK as an official oracle for tokenized securities. The road ahead features volatility and pivotal price levels that could decide the asset’s next trajectory.

Chainlink Active AddressesIn recent sessions, as per CryptoQuant, active address counts for Chainlink have surged sharply. While the bulk of price movement was negative, the spike in addresses often aligns with increased on-chain activity and signals a potential inflection point for volatility. 

It is worth noting that, historically, large jumps in active addresses can precede either strong recoveries or continued downward pressure as trading intensifies. This latest surge is notable given the context of heavy selling with volume nearly doubling. Further suggesting market participants are repositioning for further swings.​

LINK Price AnalysisChainlink’s near-term price outlook is driven by clear technical signals and support and resistance levels. LINK price is currently trading at $17.19, down 5.62% for the day and 2.81% over the last week. It has pierced both a multi-week descending trendline and the crucial 50% Fibonacci zone near $16.92. Successively, the loss of these levels resulted in traders exiting positions as previously bullish patterns were invalidated. 

Digging deep into technicals, the RSI at 38.99 cements the bearish momentum, though LINK has yet to hit true oversold territory. Immediate support rests at $16.50. Should selling persist, the next possible floor comes in at $15.33. Contrarily, resistance is now established at $17.20, which aligns as a new pivot point following the breakdown. ​

FAQsWhat caused Chainlink’s recent price drop?

Chainlink price fell due to heavy institutional selling, loss of key technical support, and overall risk-off sentiment driven by Bitcoin’s correction.​

Where is the next key support and resistance for LINK?

Current support levels are at $16.50 and $15.33, while resistance stands at $17.20.​

Does higher active addresses mean a reversal is likely?

Spikes in active addresses signal rising on-chain activity and volatility, which could precede either a rebound or deeper decline, depending on how traders react to new momentum.

The Shiba Inu open interest has been one of the worst-performing among the top cryptocurrencies by market cap in the year 2025. While there has been a general increase in open interest across the likes of Bitcoin and Ethereum, pulling the market up with them, Shiba Inu has not followed this trajectory. Instead, the meme coin’s open interest has crashed significantly, making new 2025 lows in the process.

Shiba Inu Open Interest Crashes Below $100 Million
At the start of the year, on January 16, 2025, the Shiba Inu open interest had hit a new all-time high above $519 million despite the SHIB price action remaining relatively muted. It wasn’t long until the open interest began to decline, and it has been mostly downhill from there since.

By the start of February 2025, the Shiba Inu open interest had crashed by more than 50%, recording one of the sharpest declines in the market. However, the open interest had managed to stay above the 2024 lows as the SHIB price fluctuations kept traders interested.

Now, however, the majority of the open interest that was seen in Shiba Inu at the start of the year is almost completely gone. Data from the Coinglass website shows that the open interest has now fallen below $100 million for the first time in 2025, marking a new yearly low.

Source: Coinglass
The current average of around $89 million translates to an over 80% decline in the last 9 months, painting a similar picture to the alt coin’s price, which is down 88% from its 2021 all-time highs. As this decline continues, it continues to impact the price, affecting its ability to stage a meaningful recovery.

SHIB Could Be At A Pivotal Point
As mentioned above, the last time that the Shiba Inu open interest was this low was back in 2024, but the interesting thing is that periods of low interest have often preceded some of the biggest moves. Back in August 2024, the Shiba Inu open interest had fallen to its lowest levels since 2023, but the next three months would see a rapid increase in both interest and price.

Times of low interest, such as these, have often been breeding grounds for accumulation ahead of the next move. Thus, the Shiba Inu open interest dropping to yearly lows could be setting the stage for another price rally.

Solana (SOL) price is inching closer to the crucial $180 mark, igniting speculation that a breakout toward $200 could be on the horizon. After weeks of steady gains and surging network activity, traders are debating whether this rally signals the start of a new leg higher—or the calm before a reversal. With bullish momentum building and key technical indicators flashing green, the next few sessions could determine whether Solana’s 2025 run is just getting started.

Current Solana Price OverviewAt press time, SOL trades near $186, down nearly 2.34% in the past 24 hours, as the broader crypto markets continue to experience significant upward pressure. Trading volumes across centralized exchanges have plunged, with open interest in Solana futures also dropping—signaling rising speculative activity.

Institutional flows also remain positive, as Solana continues to attract capital through staking platforms and DeFi protocols built atop its network. The blockchain’s growing DEX volume and steady NFT activity have added fundamental support to its price base.

Solana Price Analysis: What’s Next for SOL?The Solana price rally faced a halt after it failed to break above the pivotal resistance at $250. Moreover, the bearish start for the month strengthened the bears, while the US-China trade tensions helped the token to form an intraday low close to $170. Since then, the SOL price has been trying hard to break through the pivotal resistance at $200, but each attempt has failed. Currently, the token is consolidating just below this threshold, appearing to be accumulating strength to trigger a breakout soon. 

The latest pullback seems to have pushed the token into a brief consolidation phase as the price has entered the Ichimoku cloud, which is currently bearish. The levels have dropped below the baseline, and hence, continued bearish action could initiate a bearish crossover. Meanwhile, the On-balance volume has begun to form lower highs and lows, hinting towards a rise in the selling pressure on increasing volume. The volume is constantly flowing out of the crypto, which could weaken the rally in the short term. 

Solana Price Prediction: Will SOL Price Reach $220 by November 2025?The SOL price is heading towards a bearish close for the month as the RSI is draining both in the weekly and daily timeframes. However, the bulls may defend the pivotal resistance at $183, which could help the token to begin the November trade on a bullish note. The current trade setup suggests the price could rise above $200 and make it to $208 to $210 range in the early months. The support at $200 will hold the rally strong throughout the month and close the month above the resistance zone around $215 and $220.

Strategy reported Q3 net income of $2.8B, far surpassing Wall Street expectations.

Diluted EPS came in at $8.42, signalling strong profitability and operational recovery.

Strategy shares soared almost 6% in after-hours trading as the company announced its third-quarter earnings on Thursday evening. The Bitcoin treasury company announced that it earned a net income of $2.8 billion in the third quarter that ended on September 30, which is far beyond the expectations of Wall Street.

The diluted earnings per share were $8.42, which is well above the analyst expectations of $8.15, and it indicates that the company is financially healthy.

The quarterly profit is a sharp reversal of the loss of $340.2 million that Strategy incurred last year. The figure, however, represents a drop in the record-breaking net income of the company of $10 billion in the second quarter.

Bitcoin Holdings Fuel Quarterly Gains
Strategy holds the biggest Bitcoin holdings among publicly-traded corporations, with much of its quarterly achievements being fuelled by cryptocurrency appreciation. The 6.5% price growth of Bitcoin during the quarter of the year was a significant boost to the balance sheet and financial performance of Strategy.

The company has continued to pursue its strategy by aggressively expanding its holdings by purchasing 42,706 Bitcoin in the third quarter. Strategy had a total of 640,031 Bitcoin under its holdings by September 30, and additional purchases increased the number to 640,808 by Sunday.

The average cost of acquisition in the firm is $74,032 per Bitcoin, which places the firm in a good position considering the prevailing market prices of approximately $108,500.

The Bitcoin yield of the strategy reached 26% year-to-date, bringing about $13 billion in gains and strengthening its treasury management strategy. The management reinstated full-year projections of 30% Bitcoin yield and $24 billion net income, assuming that Bitcoin would hit $150,000.

Even though the recent volatility has been unstable, as Bitcoin is down 1.7% in 24 hours, Strategy is confident in the long-term outlook. The company shares ended the trading day on Thursday at $254.57, or more than 7.5% lower, and this was the lowest point in six months before the company regained its footing in after-hours trade.

The stock shot up to more than $269 after the earnings announcement, indicating that investors were once again confident in the Bitcoin-focused business model of Strategy. The mNAV ratio of the company narrowed to 1.05x in comparison to the high of 3.89x in November during the recent price corrections in both Bitcoin and Strategy stock.

Canary Capital is now targeting a November 13 launch for its XRP ETF pending Nasdaq approval.Recent launches of Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETFs reflect increased regulatory acceptance.XRPR ETF crossed $100 million in assets in one month, highlighting strong institutional demand for XRP exposure.The crypto market could welcome a spot XRP (XRP) exchange-traded fund (ETF) on November 13 as asset manager Canary Capital has removed the delaying amendment from its S-1 registration.

This step follows a week of successful altcoin ETF launches, including products for Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera, suggesting a wider regulatory acceptance of digital asset investment vehicles.

Canary XRP ETF Targets November LaunchIn a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), journalist Eleanor Terrett reported that Canary Capital updated its S-1 filing for the spot XRP ETF by removing the “delaying amendment.”

Essentially, this amendment allows the SEC to control the timing of effectiveness by preventing a registration statement from becoming automatically effective. Without it, the filing will automatically take effect after a 20-day waiting period under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933, unless the SEC issues further comments or takes other action.

Thus, by removing the delaying amendment, Canary Funds could see its ETF launch on November 13. However, it is contingent on Nasdaq’s 8-A approval.

“Interesting.. Altho XRP docs didn’t have the same comments back-and-forth with the SEC that Solana had. That was one reason issuers was felt they were ready. But hey, worth a try I guess,” Bloomberg’s Eric Balchunas said.

Terrett added that the resolution of the government shutdown could impact the timeline. It could potentially delay the process if the SEC staff decides to issue new comments on the filing, or, conversely, expedite approval if the review is already complete and no further revisions are required.

“The SEC Chair himself seems to be on board with companies taking advantage of the auto-effective method. While not commenting directly on the ETF launches, @SECPaulSAtkins said yesterday he was pleased to see companies like MapLight using the 20-day statutory waiting period to go public during the shutdown, praising the same legal mechanism Bitwise and Canary used to launch their SOL, HBAR and LTC ETFs this week,” she noted.

ETF Race Heats Up: SOL Leads, XRP May Be NextCanary’s latest filing comes following a surge in altcoin ETF launches this week. Bitwise and Canary launched their Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETFs using the same auto-effective process.

As BeInCrypto reported, Bitwise’s Solana ETF (BSOL) set a record with $56 million in first-day trading volume. On the second day, BSOL reached $72 million in volume, highlighting increased institutional demand for regulated altcoin products.

Litecoin and HBAR ETFs followed with comparatively modest activity. HBAR recorded $8 million in first-day trades, while Litecoin saw $1 million.

Notably, prospects for an XRP ETF appear positive given the performance of previous products. REX-Osprey’s XRPR, which launched in mid-September 2025, has attracted notable demand.

On launch day, XRPR logged $24 million in volume within the first 90 minutes, five times the volume of earlier XRP-based futures contracts. Moreover, by late October, XRPR topped $100 million in assets under management. Therefore, if an XRP ETF is launched, it’s likely to attract strong interest.

Canary Capital Group’s proposed XRP spot ETF is on track for a potential November 13 debut, following an updated SEC filing.

Summary

Canary Capital removed the delaying amendment from its S-1 filing, allowing the XRP ETF to go auto-effective pending Nasdaq’s Form 8-A review.
The NYSE and Nasdaq have already listed new spot crypto ETFs for Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera.
Despite the recent government shutdown, issuers have leveraged new listing standards and the 20-day auto-effect rule — a path now guiding the anticipated XRP ETF launch.

Asset manager Canary Capital Group has filed an updated S-1 registration statement for its proposed spot-XRP ETF, removing a delaying amendment that previously prevented the registration from going auto-effective and hence giving the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission full control over the timing of its launch.

According to a post by journalist Eleanor Terrett on X, the change positions the ETF for a November 13 launch date — assuming the Nasdaq completes its review of the required Form 8-A filing.

However, Terrett noted that the timing could still change with the government reopening — the launch might happen sooner if the filing is cleared, or later if the SEC adds more comments.

As the government reopens and regulatory activity resumes, momentum appears to be building for a broader wave of spot crypto ETF approvals.

Over the past week, both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have moved to list several new digital-asset ETFs, including the Bitwise Solana ETF, Canary Capital Litecoin ETF, Canary HBAR ETF, and Grayscale Solana ETF.

What made these launches particularly notable was their timing. The SEC has been operating with limited staff due to the government shutdown, yet issuers were able to proceed under newly established generic listing standards — or by using mechanisms like the 20-day auto-effective rule that bypass traditional approval delays. This same path now appears to be paving the way for Canary Capital’s proposed XRP Spot ETF.

Despite a drop from its record-breaking second quarter, Strategy reported a $2.8 billion profit that surpassed analyst expectations, lifting its shares nearly 6% in after-hours trading. The firm added over 42,000 BTC during the quarter, bringing its total holdings to 640,808 BTC. With a bullish year-end outlook, Strategy aims for a 30% Bitcoin yield and anticipates that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 in the coming months.

Strategy Rules Out Bitcoin Treasury MergersMichael Saylor, the chairman of Strategy, made it clear that the company has no immediate plans to acquire other Bitcoin treasury firms, despite growing speculation that consolidation may soon sweep through the sector. During Strategy’s third-quarter earnings call on Thursday, Saylor told investors that while mergers and acquisitions may seem appealing on paper, they often bring long and uncertain processes that can easily derail even promising ideas. 

“Generally, we don’t have any plans to pursue M&A activity, even if it would look to be potentially accretive,” he said, and explained that these deals tend to stretch out for months and can lose their strategic value over time.

Analysts recently suggested that as the number of Bitcoin treasury companies grows, acquisitions may become a necessary strategy for survival and differentiation. The first such merger in the space was announced in late September, when Strive revealed its plan to acquire Semler Scientific in an all-stock deal that would give the combined company 11,006 BTC—placing it just behind Tesla among corporate Bitcoin holders. Strategy, on the other hand, still has a very commanding lead with 640,808 BTC, the largest holdings of any public company.

While Saylor’s comments suggest a more cautious approach, he didn’t completely close the door on potential deals, saying that Strategy’s plan is focused on strengthening its balance sheet, selling digital credit, and accumulating more Bitcoin. “I don’t think we would ever say ‘never,’” he said, as the company will continue to act in the best interest of its investors.

Strategy CEO Phong Le added that M&A deals—even within software, the firm’s core business—are notoriously complex and can hide unforeseen risks. Both executives agreed that Strategy’s existing model, which is built around transparent and high-speed digital transactions, offers a major advantage. 

Saylor argued that this predictability helps investors easily assess whether each Bitcoin purchase is accretive or dilutive. Despite a recent “B-” rating from S&P Global, the company is still confident in its strategy, and hopes that Bitcoin will eventually be recognized as a legitimate capital asset in future credit evaluations.

Meanwhile, shares in Strategy rose by almost 6% in after-hours trading after the Bitcoin treasury company posted a third-quarter net income of $2.8 billion. This surpassed analyst expectations despite a decline from its record-breaking second quarter. 

The firm reported diluted earnings per share of $8.42 for the quarter ending Sept. 30, beating Wall Street estimates of $8.15. Although profits were lower than the previous quarter’s $10 billion, they were still a sharp turnaround from the $340.2 million loss that was reported during the same period last year.

Strategy’s stock (MSTR) jumped 5.7% to over $269 in after-hours trading after closing Thursday’s session down more than 7.5% at $254.57, its lowest level in more than six months. The firm’s performance is b very closely tied to Bitcoin’s price action, as it holds the largest Bitcoin treasury among public companies. Bitcoin’s 6.5% rise over the quarter provided a boost to Strategy’s results, even though the cryptocurrency has since pulled back by 1.7% over the past 24 hours, recovering to around $108,500.

Despite recent market volatility, Strategy still has a bullish outlook for the remainder of the year. The company said its Bitcoin yield reached 26% so far in 2025, representing an unrealized gain of roughly $13 billion, and maintained its target of achieving a 30% yield by year’s end. That projection is based on its internal estimate that Bitcoin could reach $150,000 in the next few months.

During the third quarter, Strategy added another 42,706 BTC to its holdings, bringing its total to 640,031 BTC by the end of September. Since then, the firm continued to accumulate, reaching 640,808 BTC on Sunday.

According to Strategy, its total Bitcoin stash was acquired at an average price of $74,032 per coin. However, the recent decline in both Bitcoin and Strategy’s share price has weighed on its market net asset value multiple, which dropped to 1.05x from a peak of 3.89x in November.

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin mining pool BTC.com deposited a huge amount of the cryptocurrency to Binance in October.

BTC.com Mining Pool Has Potentially Been Selling Bitcoin This Month
As explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, Bitcoin miners connected with BTC.com have made large transactions to Binance recently. The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Miner to Exchange Flow,” which measures the total amount of the cryptocurrency that’s flowing from miner-related wallets to a given centralized exchange.

In the context of the current discussion, the version of the metric that’s relevant is the one involving only the wallets connected to the BTC.com mining pool on the sending side and Binance as the receiver.

Generally, the main reason miners transfer their coins to exchanges is for selling-related purposes, so a spike in the Miner to Exchange flow can indicate that this cohort is participating in distribution.

Now, here is the chart shared by the quant that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Miner to Exchange Flow for BTC.com and Binance over the past month:

The value of the metric seems to have witnessed some notable spikes in recent weeks | Source: CryptoQuant
As displayed in the above graph, the Bitcoin Miner to Exchange Flow for BTC.com and Binance fluctuated during the past month, with a few large spikes coming in mid-October.

Interestingly, these spikes all came around local bottoms in the asset’s price, indicating that miners part of the pool may have been panic selling. In total, this cohort transferred 186,000 BTC (currently worth a whopping $19.9 billion) to Binance over the past month.

Miners have to pay off constant running costs in the form of electricity bills, so distribution from them tends to happen on the regular. Such selling usually gets readily absorbed by the market. Periods of extraordinary selling pressure from the cohort, however, can be a bearish sign for BTC.

The chain validators aren’t the only ones that have been participating in selling recently. As pointed out by on-chain analytics firm Glassnode in an X post, long-term holders (LTHs), investors holding coins for a period longer than 155 days, have also been on the move.

How the profit volume from the LTHs has changed over the last few years | Source: Glassnode on X
From the chart, it’s visible that the Bitcoin LTHs were spending about $1 billion per day (7-day average) in mid-July, and by early October, that figure rose to $2 to $3 billion per day.

“Unlike previous high-spending phases in this cycle, this distribution regime has been gradual and persistent, rather than marked by a sharp spike,” noted the analytics firm.

Bitcoin ETFs lost $490 million as investors trimmed exposure amid macro uncertainty.BlackRock faces $500 million fraud linked to its HPS private-credit division.Whale data shows $3 billion in BTC shorts at risk if prices rebound above $112,600.Major crypto ETFs (Bitcoin and Ethereum) posted $672 million in combined outflows on Thursday, October 30. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF lost $291 million, and ETHA shed $118 million.

Meanwhile, a $500 million telecom-financing fraud tied to BlackRock’s private-credit arm has rocked institutional markets, raising new concerns about risk management and due diligence.

Notably, this coincides with a closer scrutiny of BlackRock following revelations of large-scale fraud in its private credit division. The timing has increased anxiety among investors.

BlackRock Fraud Scandal Reveals Private Credit RisksBlackRock’s difficulties go beyond ETF outflows. Bloomberg reports that its private-credit arm, HPS Investment Partners, lost over $500 million in a telecom-financing scheme involving fake accounts receivable.

Court filings in the New York Supreme Court allege that borrowers Broadband Telecom and Bridgevoice used forged contracts and invoices from companies like T-Mobile and Telstra as collateral for sizable loans. The court documents also outline years of systematic forgery and misrepresentation.

The fraud was uncovered in August 2025, resulting in bankruptcies and lawsuits. BNP Paribas, BlackRock’s partner in making these loans, is also named in the litigation.

The scandal emerged just 90 days after BlackRock acquired HPS for $12 billion. The purchase, finalized on July 1, 2025, aimed to expand BlackRock’s reach in private credit. Instead, the discovery has raised questions about the company’s due diligence and risk oversight during the process.

Notwithstanding, BlackRock remains the clear leader in the ETF space despite this turbulence. According to US Crypto News analysis, IBIT attracted $28.1 billion in net inflows since the start of 2025, outpacing all competitors combined.

Removing IBIT, the sector would have seen net outflows of $1.2 billion this year. Such concentration raises concerns about systemic risks if BlackRock were forced to cut exposure or faced major redemptions, potentially draining liquidity across the crypto ETFs market.

Short Liquidations and Market Volatility on the HorizonAs institutional money exits Bitcoin ETFs, leveraged traders now face more risk. Whale Insider noted on X that more than $3 billion in Bitcoin short positions could be liquidated if the price reaches $112,600.

With Bitcoin trading near $109,287 as of this writing, it is just 2.48% away from this threshold. Therefore, even a modest rally might trigger a short squeeze and rapid market turnaround.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs are posting persistent outflows as market pressure continues.

Summary

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs extended their outflow streak, with combined redemptions surpassing $670 million as both assets fell below key price levels.
In contrast, mid-cap crypto ETFs for Solana, HBAR, and Litecoin attracted steady inflows following new listings on major U.S. exchanges.
The divergence highlights growing investor interest in diversified crypto exposure even as flagship assets face mounting selling pressure.

Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs extended their losing streak for a second day as the market grapples with fresh downside. Bitcoin is now trading below $110,000 while Ethereum has slipped beneath $4,000, marking sharp psychological breaks for both assets.​

For Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs, net outflows hit $488 million on October 30, with nearly every listed issuer seeing money move out except for a handful which remained flat. The biggest losses were posted by BlackRock’s IBIT and Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB, each suffering outflows north of $290 million and $65 million respectively, per data from SoSoValue. 

Ethereum (ETH) ETFs mirrored this trend, recording $184 million in net outflows. Every issuer posted redemptions except for Grayscale’s ETHE which stayed flat. BlackRock’s ETHA led the pack with a $118 million outflow, followed by Bitwise’s ETHW with $31 million leaving the fund. 

Total weekly flows for both assets swung negative, nullifying positive momentum from earlier in the week and underscoring the market’s struggle to hold key levels.​

Solana, HBAR, and Litecoin ETFs defy negative trend
Still, while Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF flows remain under pressure, not all exchange-traded crypto funds are seeing the same sell-off. The newly-launched Solana (SOL), HBAR (HBAR), and Litecoin (LTC) ETFs are bucking the trend this week, drawing steady inflows while the major caps continue to face outflows.

Bitwise launched its Solana ETF (BSOL) on the NYSE earlier this week, marking the first spot Solana ETF in the U.S. The debut has spurred strong interest, with the fund pulling in over $36 million in daily net inflows and pushing its cumulative net inflow to $155 million in just 3 days. 

HBAR followed closely, with Canary Capital’s HBAR ETF going live on Nasdaq around the same time. In its opening sessions, HBAR ETF reported nearly $30 million in fresh inflows, building momentum as the broader market corrected. 

Litecoin also made its ETF debut on Nasdaq this week, capping a run of new spot product launches across multiple altcoins. While aggregate flows for LTCC have been relatively modest so far, the new product is holding net positive territory. 

With risk appetite narrowing, these ETFs have managed to attract steady fresh capital despite the volatile backdrop. The resilience comes as investors look to diversify beyond the biggest names, highlighting continued institutional demand for regulated crypto access. 

Bitwise chief investment officer Matt Hougan says his bullish outlook on layer-1 blockchain Solana stems from two main factors that set it apart from competitors like Ethereum.

“I love investments that give me two ways to win,” Hougan said in an X post on Thursday, explaining that Solana (SOL) is making a “bet” the stablecoin and tokenization infrastructure market will grow, and that it will “win an increasing share of that market,” which “seem like good bets to me.”

“I think people dramatically underestimate how much and how quickly these technologies will remake markets. It’s easy for me to imagine this market growing by 10x or more,” Hougan added.  

“I’m very bullish on Ethereum and select other blockchains. But I do like Solana’s odds of winning a larger share of this market. It offers fast, user-friendly technology, backed by a great community with a ship-fast attitude.”Hougan also sang Solana’s praises earlier this month, predicting the blockchain would become the Wall Street network of choice for stablecoins, while Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has also been spruiking it, arguing that Solana could gain over Ethereum in the staking exchange-traded fund market, citing its design as more favorable for investors.

Solana is far below, with a stablecoin market capitalization of over $14.9 billion and a total locked value of more than $11.3 billion.

However, Hougan said Tron, Solana, and BNB Smart Chain are among the “top challengers” for the crown.

Solana is gaining ground with institutional interestHe also believes that institutional interest in Solana is growing, with deals such as those of financial services company Western Union adopting the Solana blockchain for its stablecoin settlement system on Tuesday. 

“It’s a newer asset and is playing catch-up against its peers in winning institutional mandates, but it’s gaining ground,” Hougan said.

“If I’m right, the combination of a growing market and a growing market share will be explosive for Solana. Just as with Bitcoin.”Bitwise has products tied to Solana, such as its staking ETF, which launched on Tuesday.

Bitcoin also has two ways to winAlong with Solana, Hougan said Bitcoin has two ways to win as well, through a “bet” that the global store of value market will grow, and Bitcoin (BTC) will take an increasing share, which only requires one to “happen for me to do well.”

Source: Matt Hougan“A mistake many investors make is focusing too much on Bitcoin winning market share and too little on the growth of the market. The global store of value market has grown by 10x in the past 20 years, from under $3 trillion in 2005 to $27.5 trillion today.”Magazine: Sharplink exec shocked by level of BTC and ETH ETF hodling — Joseph Chalom

Binance.US has firmly denied allegations that its recent listing of USD1 — a stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial — was influenced by political considerations or tied to former U.S. President Donald Trump. The exchange clarified that the decision was part of its standard asset listing process and had no connection to the recent pardon of its founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ).

Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman of Strategy (NASDAQ:MSTR), identified several challenges he believes are hindering the growth of the company and the wider Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) treasury industry.

Saylor Talks About ‘Headwinds’During the company’s third-quarter earnings call. Saylor was asked about the specific “headwinds” to the industry and steps required to overcome those.

“The fact that Bitcoin is not viewed as capital by the traditional credit ratings industry,” Saylor replied. He argued that failing to consider BTC’s collateral value under traditional banking, insurance and credit rating rules is a “structural” problem.

Bitcoin’s perception as capital by the traditional credit ratings industry is the first major hurdle. He argued that classifying Bitcoin as collateral and assigning it a collateral value under conventional banking, insurance, and credit rating rules is a significant structural problem.

Saylor alluded to this point earlier in the year, stating that while equity offerings have helped fund BTC accumulation, the real breakthrough lies in creating scalable, BTC-backed credit instruments.

Educate And Lobby, Says SaylorThe second issue, according to him, is banking acceptance, custody, and credit. He said that major U.S. banks purchasing, selling, and custodying Bitcoin, as well as issuing credit and margin lines against the asset, might be “great” for all parties involved.

“We don’t need a law to fix it. What we do need to do is lobby the banks, lobby the insurance companies,” Saylor emphasized.

The Bitcoin bull concluded by stressing the need to “educate” traditional fixed-income investors, retirees, and corporate treasurers about Bitcoin as a viable investment alternative.

Strategy Beats Revenue Estimates, Misses On EarningsThe remarks come in the wake of Strategy’s mixed third-quarter financials. The company reported earnings of $8.42 per share, missing the analyst consensus estimate of $10.57 per share. However, it exceeded revenue expectations, bringing in $128.69 million, compared to analyst estimates of $118.43 million.

Strategy disclosed holding 640,808 BTC, worth over $70 billion, on its books, strengthening its position as the world's cryptocurrency treasury company.

Strategy also became the first Bitcoin-focused company to receive an S&P credit rating earlier in the week.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was trading at $114,438.21, down 0.99% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Strategy shares soared 5.71% in after-hours trading after closing down 7.55% at $254.57 during Thursday’s regular trading session.

Official Trump coin has been a headline driver lately, with a wild swing in price pushing traders to rethink their next moves. Just this week, TRUMP price leaped 36.17%, making waves amid broader crypto volatility. The latest drop of 2.

Solana (SOL) struggles below $200 as inflows hit a six-month low, signaling fading confidence and growing selling pressure among investors.Exchange data shows the first notable outflows in three weeks, while CMF confirms weakening liquidity and limited rebound potential.vTrading at $185, SOL risks losing $183 support and sliding to $175, though a rebound could retest $200 and invalidate the bearish setup.Solana’s price has been moving sideways over the past few days, struggling to break through the key resistance level at $200. 

The altcoin’s inability to maintain upward momentum has led to growing investor caution. As a result, SOL may soon face renewed selling pressure, slowing its recent recovery trend.

Solana Holders Are Backing OutThe exchange net position change highlights the first signs of selling activity for Solana in three weeks. The failed attempt to breach the $200 resistance level has triggered some profit-taking among investors, signaling a potential short-term bearish shift.

This selling activity suggests that investor confidence is weakening after a strong run earlier in the month. If selling continues to increase, Solana could face difficulty maintaining its current levels.

Solana Exchange Net Position Change. Source: GlassnodeThe Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator supports the recent bearish sentiment. Currently at a six-month low, CMF reflects heavy outflows dominating the market for SOL. This indicates that liquidity is leaving the asset, limiting its potential to rebound quickly and adding pressure to its existing resistance levels.

The decline in CMF is particularly concerning, as Solana has been struggling to sustain momentum following multiple failed breakout attempts. Persistent outflows could further weaken price strength and delay recovery, especially if broader market conditions remain uncertain or risk appetite continues to decline.

Solana CMF. Source: TradingViewSOL Price Could Lose Crucial SupportSolana’s price sits at $185, holding slightly above the $183 support level after failing to breach $200. This failure has placed SOL in a vulnerable position, with investors now watching closely for a potential drop below its current range.

If bearish conditions persist, Solana could either consolidate above $175 or decline further. Losing support at $183 could push the price down toward $175, with extended weakness possibly sending SOL to $170 in the coming sessions.

Solana Price Analysis. Source: TradingViewHowever, if Solana rebounds from $183, the altcoin could attempt another breakout toward $200. A successful breach would strengthen bullish momentum and push prices past $208, effectively invalidating the current bearish outlook and signaling a return of investor confidence.

Key Takeaways
What is the short-term outlook for Dogecoin?
Though there seemed to be some evidence for accumulation on-chain, it likely isn’t enough to prevent another 18% price slide .

Why is such a price slide expected?
Dogecoin’s OBV fell below the lows it established in August – A sign that selling volume inundated the spot market in October.

Dogecoin [DOGE] suffered a bearish setback over the last 24 hours as Bitcoin [BTC] briefly fell to $106.3k, before bouncing higher. At its lowest point, DOGE hit $0.176 on Thursday, 30 June.

This was a 9.34% slide from the day’s high at $0.194. At the time of writing, Dogecoin was exhibiting strong short-term bearish sentiment, with a 3.55% drop in Open Interest in 24 hours. However, the bulls managed to defend the $0.175 demand zone. For now.

Importance of $0.178, and the warning sign for Dogecoin bulls
Bitcoin has been trading within a range since August. This range reached from $124.5k to $107.5k. The brief plunge below the range lows in recent hours suggested that there is a chance for a bullish rebound, provided we see strong spot demand.

Source: DOGE/USDT on TradingView

Therefore, the chance of a Dogecoin rebound is also present. However, it would depend heavily on the capital inflows to the market in the coming days. Recently, though the $0.175-$0.185 demand zone has been defended, the selling pressure has been high too.

This was evidenced by the OBV forming a new low, below the baseline it had established back in August. In fact, the recent selling volume has been overwhelming. And, it appeared that it may be only a matter of time before the bulls cave to the pressure.

If Dogecoin falls below $0.175, the next support level would be the $0.15-level. This has been the base of the rising wedge pattern that began in June.

The daily active addresses have been falling in October. This hinted at reduced network activity and a fall in organic demand for Dogecoin. However, the mean coin age saw an uptick over the past two weeks.

This could be a sign of on-chain accumulation, despite the spot selling seen on the price charts. The age consumed metric saw some spikes recently too, but nothing extreme.

Overall, though the aforementioned findings seemed encouraging, they are unlikely to be enough to overturn the selling spree witnessed in recent weeks. Hence, a bearish bias and a price drop to $0.15 can be anticipated.

Bitcoin’s recent rally appears to have stalled, with the world’s largest cryptocurrency, BTC, holding steady above the $100,000 mark after a strong surge earlier this year. While some analysts warn of a potential bear market ahead — citing Bitcoin’s traditional four-year cycle — long-term indicators suggest that the broader bull phase might still be intact.

One key metric offering hope for bullish investors is the 200-week simple moving average (SMA), which currently sits around $54,750, based on TradingView data. This figure remains far below Bitcoin’s 2021 peak of roughly $70,000, indicating potential room for continued upward movement. Historically, Bitcoin’s bull runs have tended to end when the 200-week SMA rises to meet or challenge the previous cycle’s top. This pattern played out during late 2017 and again in late 2021 to early 2022, just before the market corrected sharply.

At present, the 200-week SMA’s distance from the last cycle’s high suggests Bitcoin could still be within its macro bull trend, even as short-term price action shows signs of fatigue. For traders, this offers a blend of caution and optimism — a reminder that while volatility remains high, the long-term trajectory could favor continued growth.

However, it’s important to note that this trend has only been observed twice in Bitcoin’s history, during periods when institutional participation was much lower than today. With evolving market dynamics and increasing corporate and fund involvement, relying solely on historical patterns may be risky. Still, the indicator’s resilience continues to bolster confidence among crypto enthusiasts who believe that Bitcoin’s next major move could still be upward.

Spot Ether ETF inflows have surpassed Bitcoin ETFs during the third quarter of 2025, signaling dormant appetite for regulated altcoin investments.

85

Institutional investors may turn their attention to altcoins as the next wave of cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) arrives in the United States, according to market analysts.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) received at least five new altcoin ETF filings during the first half of October, despite the ongoing US government shutdown stalling progress.

Each approval could “open the door for the next wave of institutional buying,” said Leon Waidmann, head of research at Web3 analytics firm Onchain.

“Altcoin ETF inflows are the inevitable next step after Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs proved institutional demand,” Waidmann told Cointelegraph. “This is regulatory confidence translating into capital flows.” 

Ether ETFs surpass Bitcoin ETF inflows in Q3Spot Ether (ETH) ETFs attracted $ 9.6 billion in inflows during the third quarter of 2025, surpassing the $8.7 billion generated by spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETF inflows, according to data aggregator SosoValue.

Bitcoin ETF Inflows, monthly, all-time chart. Source: SosoValue.comThat shift signals increasing institutional demand for alternative crypto exposure.

The trend may see the altcoin ETFs catalyzing the next wave of institutional altcoin adoption as new regulated vehicles, resulting in years of sustained inflows, Waidmann said.

“Institutions found Bitcoin via ETFs, now they’re moving into Ethereum, and other altcoins are coming next.”The industry’s most successful traders, tracked as “smart money” traders on Nansen’s blockchain intelligence platform, are also positioning themselves for the approval of altcoin ETFs.

Smart money traders, holdings. Source: NansenThe Uniswap (UNI), Aave (AAVE) and Chainlink (LINK) were the three most held tokens by smart money traders on Thursday, data from Nansen shows.

However, some analysts are concerned that BlackRock’s absence from the altcoin ETFs will result in limited overall inflows, as BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF has amassed $28.1 billion in investments so far in 2025, making it the only fund to log positive year-to-date (YTD) inflows.

Source: Vetle LundeWithout BlackRock’s fund, the spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded a cumulative net outflow of $1.27 billion year-to-date, according to K33’s head of research, Vetle Lunde.

Based on the dynamics seen in Bitcoin ETF investments, BlackRock’s absence from the altcoin ETF wave may limit cumulative inflows and their potential tailwind effect on the underlying tokens, the researcher explained.

Magazine: Bitcoin to see ‘one more big thrust’ to $150K, ETH pressure builds

Ripple, the company behind XRP, is once again turning heads, this time with its game-changing stablecoin RLUSD. Ripple President Monica Long recently said that the growing use of RLUSD in real-world payments shows “real impact,” not just hype.

Her statement comes right before Ripple’s Swell 2025 event, where the company is expected to unveil major updates on how it’s using blockchain technology to reshape global finance.

What’s Happening With RLUSD?Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD is now being used to power instant, real-time payments around the world. According to Monica, more financial institutions are turning to Ripple because its technology lets them send money in seconds, something traditional banks still take days to do.

Built on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum blockchain, RLUSD enables fast, low-cost, and transparent cross-border payments, making it ideal for businesses and charities alike.

Ripple’s Blockchain Helping Humanitarian Aid Move FasterOne of the most powerful examples of RLUSD in action is how it’s helping nonprofits deliver aid faster than ever. Ripple has teamed up with global organizations like World Central Kitchen, Water.org, Mercy Corps, and GiveDirectly, all of which use Ripple Payments and RLUSD to send emergency funds within seconds.

In times of crisis, this speed isn’t just convenient, it’s life-changing.

Putting Purpose Into PaymentsRipple’s Head of Stablecoin Strategy, Jack McDonald, revealed that the company has already deployed over $50 million worth of RLUSD this year across both the XRP and Ethereum networks.

The goal is to prove that blockchain payments can solve real-world problems, not just drive speculation or trading.

As Monica Long explained, Ripple’s mission is about “real adoption and real impact,” showing that blockchain can transform how the world moves money, making payments smarter, faster, and more meaningful.

Why It Matters for the Future of FinanceThe growing adoption of the RLUSD stablecoin signals a major shift in how people view money movement. With blockchain, Ripple is helping charities, corporations, and individuals avoid high banking fees, slow transfers, and outdated systems that have dominated global finance for decades.

In short, RLUSD isn’t just another crypto token; it’s a real-world utility stablecoin that proves how blockchain can power instant, borderless payments and drive financial inclusion worldwide.

As Ripple prepares for Swell 2025, the excitement is building. The company isn’t just developing technology, it’s building trust, showing the world that crypto and blockchain innovation can create real change, one transaction at a time.

Ethereum’s next big moment is officially on the calendar. After months of testing across multiple networks, the Ethereum Foundation has confirmed December 3 as the launch date for the long-awaited Fusaka mainnet upgrade. Announced during Thursday’s All Core Devs call, Fusaka will roll out roughly a dozen Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at making the network faster, more efficient, and more secure. It’s the most significant update since Pectra, and one that positions Ethereum for the next phase of scaling and Layer 2 integration.

What Is Fusaka?The Fusaka hard fork is a backward-compatible upgrade focused on improving the sustainability, scalability, and security of Ethereum’s base chain. It brings several protocol-level refinements designed to optimize validator operations, data availability, and transaction capacity—all without disrupting existing smart contracts or user activity.

From Testnets to MainnetFusaka reached its final milestone this week by going live on the Hoodi testnet, following successful rollouts on Holesky and Sepolia earlier this month. Each deployment was monitored for validator stability, synchronization, and performance, clearing the way for a confident mainnet launch.

Key Features and ImprovementsThe headline feature in Fusaka is Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS)—a breakthrough method for validators to access and verify data more efficiently. Initially slated for February’s Pectra upgrade, PeerDAS was postponed for additional testing and will now go live under Fusaka.

Another core improvement is the increase of the block gas limit from 30 million to 150 million units, dramatically expanding Ethereum’s transaction capacity and doubling blob data throughput. Together, these upgrades push Ethereum closer to its long-term goal of high-throughput, low-cost scalability.

Security and Community EffortsAhead of the upgrade, the Ethereum Foundation launched a four-week audit contest with up to $2 million in rewards. The goal is to uncover any vulnerabilities before Fusaka reaches the mainnet, reinforcing Ethereum’s commitment to transparency and open collaboration within the developer community.

The Road AheadFusaka marks another step in Ethereum’s steady evolution. By modernizing data handling, boosting block limits, and refining validator operations, it lays the groundwork for a more scalable and sustainable ecosystem. With December 3 approaching, developers and stakers alike are preparing for a smoother, more capable $Ethereum ready to meet growing global demand.

Bitwise's BSOL and Grayscale's GSOL drive $155M Solana ETF inflows, boosting optimism for long-term institutional demand.

Bitcoin transfers from the Strategy wallet to various new addresses have triggered market speculation, with analysts predicting it could be a custody restructuring.

“As we enter a new era of AI-powered mobility and smart factories, deepening our collaboration with NVIDIA marks a pivotal step forward,” said Euisun Chung, executive chair of Hyundai Motor Group. “Together, we are not only building advanced technologies but also laying the foundation for a robust AI ecosystem in Korea — one that fosters innovation, nurtures talent and positions us at the forefront of global AI leadership.”

"For Korea to leap forward as a leading nation in AI, the advancement of physical AI is essential — a key initiative championed by the Ministry of Science and ICT. This inaugural step in public-private collaboration to foster physical AI is therefore incredibly significant,” said Bae Kyung-hoon, Deputy Prime Minister, and Minister of Science and ICT of the Republic of Korea. “Korea has a strong foundation in manufacturing. By combining Korea’s rich manufacturing data with NVIDIA’s cutting-edge AI infrastructure, we expect to build a win-win model through collaboration with domestic companies, thereby accelerating innovative AI transformation in manufacturing across industries.”

With its NVIDIA Blackwell-based AI factory, Hyundai Motor Group will deploy essential infrastructure for powering every phase of innovation — bringing together in-vehicle AI, autonomous driving, factory automation and robotics into one intelligent, interconnected ecosystem.
NVIDIA offers the three AI compute platforms that serve as the infrastructure for physical AI and robotics:

NVIDIA DGX™ and other NVIDIA AI infrastructure enables large-scale AI model training and software development.NVIDIA Omniverse™ and NVIDIA Cosmos™ running on NVIDIA RTX PRO™ Servers enables digital twins and simulation to optimize manufacturing, as well as test and validate AV software across an infinite number of driving scenarios.NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor™ serves as the “AI brain” for real-time intelligence in vehicles and robots. Together, these computing platforms form the backbone of AI and car factories, enabling the transportation industry to develop, validate and deploy advanced physical AI at scale.

Building Smart Factories and Safe Cars of the Future
As part of the expanded collaboration, unveiled earlier this year, Hyundai Motor Group will use the NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise platform to create robust factory digital twins — virtual replicas of manufacturing environments that unify and manage factory data — as well as enable precision control, software- and hardware-in-the-loop validation, discrete event simulation and virtual commissioning.

These physically accurate digital environments accelerate robot integration, optimize production, enable predictive maintenance and pave the way for fully autonomous, software-defined factories — reshaping how vehicles are designed and manufactured.

NVIDIA Omniverse Enterprise also extends to humanoid and robotic systems using NVIDIA Issac Sim™, an open robotics reference framework built on NVIDIA Omniverse. This enables virtual validation of task assignments, motion planning and ergonomic safety before robot deployment on physical production lines, significantly accelerating robot integration and maximizing productivity.

Hyundai Motor Group is also testing the use of the NVIDIA Omniverse and Cosmos platforms on NVIDIA RTX PRO Servers, with NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPUs, to build digital twins of regional driving environments and conditions, incorporating extensive simulations to advance its development pipeline. These sophisticated capabilities place Hyundai Motor Group at the forefront of scalable, next-generation autonomous driving.

Hyundai Motor Group is developing advanced AI models — built with the NVIDIA Nemotron™ open AI reasoning models and NVIDIA NeMo™ software — to enable over‑the‑air updates of capabilities and features across vehicles.

In addition to autonomy capabilities, Hyundai Motor Group will use these advanced models to develop a range of innovative in‑vehicle AI features, from personalized digital assistants to intelligent infotainment and adaptive comfort systems. This transforms vehicles into continuously learning, evolving intelligent agents.

Inside Hyundai Motor Group vehicles, NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, accelerated compute running on safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS™ operating system, is set to provide the AI compute power for advanced driver-assistance and next-generation safety features, as well as immersive in-vehicle AI experiences.

With NVIDIA, Hyundai Motor Group is evolving its vehicles and factories from independent systems into a single, interconnected and intelligent ecosystem, setting a new standard for the future of the global automotive industry.

SummaryCompaniesSamsung in 'close talks' to supply Nvidia with HBM4 chipsAims to market HBM4 next year; has not disclosed shipping timingInvestors watching whether Samsung can catch up with rivalsSEOUL, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Samsung Electronics

(005930.KS), opens new tab said on Friday it is in "close discussion" to supply its next-generation high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips, or HBM4, to Nvidia

(NVDA.O), opens new tab, as the South Korean chipmaker scrambles to catch up with rivals in the AI chip race.

Samsung, which plans to market the new chip next year, did not specify when it aims to ship the latest version of its HBM chip, a key building block of artificial intelligence chipsets.

Local rival SK Hynix

(000660.KS), opens new tab, Nvidia's top HBM chip supplier, on Wednesday said it aims to start shipping its latest HBM4 chips in the fourth quarter and expand sales next year.

Nvidia, in a statement announcing cooperation with Samsung, said it is in "key supply collaboration for HBM3E and HBM4", without elaborating.

In a separate deal, Samsung said it will purchase 50,000 high-end Nvidia chips to build an AI-enhanced semiconductor factory aimed at improving chip manufacturing speed and yields.

Samsung's share price rose as much as 4.32% after the announcements.

Chairman Jay Y. Lee and Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang met over fried chicken and beer on Thursday during Huang's visit to Korea to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation CEO Summit.

Lee said Nvidia is a key customer and strategic partner and highlighted more than two decades of collaboration.

Jeff Kim, head of research at KB Securities, said HBM4 likely needs further testing but Samsung widely is seen to be in a favourable position given its production capacity.

"If Samsung supplies HBM4 chips to Nvidia, it could secure a significant market share that it was unable to achieve with previous HBM series products," Kim said.

Samsung has been slower to capitalise on the AI-driven memory chip boom, leading to weaker earnings performance and a reshuffle of its chip division last year. Its earnings recovered in the latest quarter driven by conventional memory chip demand.

This week it said it sells its current-generation HBM3E chips to "all related customers", indicating it has joined rivals in supplying the latest 12-layer HBM3E chips to Nvidia.

The launch of HBM4 chips will be a major test of Samsung's ability to regain its edge in the market, analysts said.

HBM - a type of dynamic random access memory (DRAM) standard first produced in 2013 - involves stacking chips vertically to save space and reduce power consumption, helping to process the large volume of data generated by complex AI applications.

Investors are watching for whether Samsung's HBM4 can cut SK Hynix's lead in advanced memory chips. The chipmaker, which also is also a leading smartphone maker, said in July it had provided HBM4 samples to customers, with plans to begin supply next year.

Samsung's share price has risen nearly 60% since July as investors expect the chipmaker to benefit from the current uptrend in memory prices and advance in the AI race.
