New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 16, 2025) - Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against James Hardie Industries plc ("James Hardie" or the "Company") (NYSE: JHX) and reminds investors of the December 23, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.

Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.

As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that James Hardie Industries plc misled investors about the strength of its key North America Fiber Cement segment between May 20 and August 18, 2025. Despite knowing by April and early May that distributors were destocking inventory, the company falsely claimed demand remained strong and that stock levels were "normal."

On August 19, 2025, James Hardie issued a press release announcing financial results for its first quarter ended June 30, 2025. Among other items, James Hardie reported a 29% decline in first-quarter profit and projected lower-than-expected fiscal 2026 earnings, citing high borrowing costs.

On this news, James Hardie's American Depositary Receipt ("ADR") price fell $9.79 per ADR, or 34.44%, to close at $18.64 per ADR on August 20, 2025.

The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding James Hardie's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

Mining costs aren't something to be ignored.

Putting a valuation on a crypto asset like Bitcoin (BTC +0.47%) is harder than it sounds. Traditional valuation methods intended for valuing stocks or other assets simply aren't very useful, as the coin has no cash flows or balance sheet.

But there are a few creative ways to figure out if Bitcoin is overpriced or underpriced that don't rely on a gut feeling or a biased impression of recent price action. In fact, one of those valuation methods suggests that Bitcoin is undervalued by around 70%. Let's take a closer look at what the signal is here and whether it means the coin is worth purchasing.

Image source: Getty Images.

Energy costs suggest this asset is cheap right now
As you probably know, Bitcoin is produced by an army of miners. Those miners buy specialized crypto mining hardware, and then operate it, using other inputs like water and electricity along the way to ultimately produce Bitcoins, which the miners can then sell to recoup their costs. Given that the prices of all of these inputs are easily known, it's possible to calculate a ballpark figure for the all-in costs required for a miner to produce a Bitcoin.

From this understanding, it's also possible to estimate the fair value of Bitcoin expressed as a function of the total joules of energy (electricity) expended by miners, in light of the protocol's supply growth rate and a conversion factor that maps energy costs to dollars. In short, more energy committed over time, with all else equal, implies a higher intrinsic value per coin.

96381.00

One financial model of this dynamic, created by Capriole Investments, suggests that Bitcoin should be priced at around $175,400, as the energy expenses required to mine a single coin are currently on the high side. In the past, the coin's price hasn't strayed too far above or below the value of all the energy required to produce 1 BTC, with deviations between the two typically resolving within 18 months, both to the upside and to the downside. So by Capriole's energy-based valuation methodology, Bitcoin has upside of around 70% or more, as it's currently undervalued. If it behaves like in prior instances of a disconnect between electricity costs and Bitcoin price, this gap won't exist for very long, which suggests that there's an opportunity for those who buy it now.

But there are a few caveats.

Numerous other energy-based valuation methodologies for Bitcoin exist, and they aren't a new approach; some may produce results that disagree with each other as a result of making different assumptions about costs. Furthermore, these models depend on assumptions about average mining hardware efficiency and average electricity costs in the places where mining is performed with the most intensity. So treat these valuations as compasses rather than oracles.

Why price and energy tend to converge in practice
One of the reasons this valuation method is effective is that Bitcoin's mining difficulty self-balances depending on how many miners are participating in the network. The protocol adjusts difficulty every 2,016 blocks to keep average block time near 10 minutes. When the overall mining hash rate falls, mining difficulty then automatically ratchets a bit lower, which reduces the energy required per block and stabilizes miner economics. When hash rate rises, the reverse occurs.

That mechanism links energy input to price through incentives. If price sinks below miners' breakeven level for long enough, weaker operators switch off machines, energy input falls, and the energy value declines toward price. If price rises, more machines come online, the total energy spent climbs, and then it rises toward price.

So, knowing this, is Bitcoin worth buying while it's supposedly on the cheap side? In a word, yes.

This valuation metric points to a good outlook over the next 12 months or so. But beyond that, the picture actually gets better for those who are holding Bitcoin. New issuance drops every halving, which gradually tightens available float. Then, less fresh supply means the same dollar of incremental demand can move price more than before.

While halvings occur about every four years, the takeaway is that accumulating scarce assets when forward supply is shrinking often has a favorable payoff if you can hold through noise. And in Bitcoin's case, the payoff has been quite favorable indeed; its price is up by 502% in the last three years.

Therefore if your investing horizon is years, not weeks, the energy consumption valuation lens strengthens the investment thesis to hold and accumulate this asset. A practical plan is to dollar-cost average (DCA) a fixed amount, then add more on material drawdowns when sentiment is sour.

Bitcoin price prediction turns cautious as ETF inflow costs near $90K, unrealized profits shrink, and liquidity risks grow. Key levels signal volatility ahead.

Ethereum price currently hovers above $3,200 after a short bearish dip, following a week of consolidation. The cryptocurrency recently tested the $3,100 support level and managed to bounce back. 

However, market strength remains weak, and Ethereum could potentially test the $3,000 support zone if the bears take control. At present, the price is stabilizing between $3,130 and $3,160. 

Over the last 24 hours, Ethereum has risen by 2%, although it has experienced a 5.96% decline over the past week. 

Other major crypto markets, including Bitcoin, XRP, and Solana, are also struggling to recover as the market eyes a possible rebound.

Ethereum Price Struggles at $3,200: What’s Next for the Crypto?
Ethereum climbed above the $3,200 level, with the market facing a crucial phase. The $3,500 zone is identified as a key resistance level, and if Ethereum price manages to break above this, it could push the price toward the $3,800 level.

 However, analysts suggest that if the price of Ether fails to reclaim this zone, a drop below $3,000 could be in store, potentially triggering a liquidity sweep in that lower range.

Ethereum recently touched the $3,100 support level before bouncing back, but the lack of strong momentum raises concerns. 

Analyst believe there’s still a possibility for Ethereum to dip below $3,000 if the market fails to gather sufficient strength. A drop below this support level could lead to a local bottom, followed by a potential relief rally in the near future. The Ethereum price outlook for long term

 remains bullish, with analysts watching for critical movements at key levels.

$ETH is still hovering around the $3,200 level.

The next crucial level to reclaim is the $3,500 zone, as it’ll push Ethereum above $3,800.

Ethereum ETF Sees Significant Outflow of $177.9 Million
Yesterday, the Ethereum ETF saw a significant outflow, which amounted to $177.9 million. This event happened at the same time as BlackRock’s huge liquidation of Ethereum for $173.3 million.

A closer look at the financial flows shows that the BlackRock ETF had its large positions in Ethereum (ETH) affected by the sell-off. The repositioning of firms like BlackRock is a clear signal of market dynamics in one strategic direction, as they slowly move their crypto-related asset.

ETH Price Consolidates Near Key Support Level
At the time of writing, the price of Ethereum stood at $3,235, reflecting a modest increase of 2% in the past few hours. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) gives a neutral reading of the market at the level of 12.37. 

Despite this, the prevailing trend seems to be bearish, as the MACD’s histogram is still below the zero line, which is an indicator of selling pressure in the market. 

The RSI is similarly at the level of 46.40, suggesting that the price of Ethereum is not reacting either way, that is, it is neither overbought nor oversold.

Source: ETH/USD 4-hour chart: Tradingview
Market volume is still quite stable; it is just the activity of buyers and sellers that is fluctuating, showing that there is still great uncertainty. The next major resistance level lies around $3,400, and a definitive breakthrough above this point could potentially set off a rally.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The key support level for Ethereum is around $3,000. If the price drops below this level, it could trigger further selling pressure, potentially leading to a dip toward a local bottom.

Ethereum is facing resistance near the $3,500 mark. A break above this level could lead to a price surge, potentially pushing Ethereum toward $3,800.

Key Takeaways
Is Ethereum rebound flow-backed?
Market positioning signals that Ethereum traders are leaning long, but ETF outflows and capitulating whales keep the risk of a bull trap alive.

Does the $3k level mark a bottom?
Technically, ETH’s V-shaped recoveries are absent, and the pattern mirrors mid-November’s breakdown, leaving $3k exposed.

Is it still too early to call Ethereum’s [ETH] $3k level a confirmed bottom? 

On one hand, ETH has managed a 3.5% bounce off $3k despite the broader market sitting in extreme fear. And yet, smart money continues to capitulate (realizing losses) while ETH ETFs keep bleeding capital.

In this context, is Ethereum’s rebound a “bull trap”? 

Capital, leverage, and market share pivot toward Ethereum
Ethereum’s rebound is being driven by a clear shift in market positioning.

Notably, its resilience shows up as Bitcoin dominance [BTC.D] gets rejected at the 60% level. Meanwhile, ETH dominance [ETH.D] has pushed back above the 12% market-share mark with three consecutive green inflows.

Essentially, traders are rotating into alts as BTC becomes the riskier trade.

As a result, the ETH/BTC ratio has jumped roughly 3% in under 72 hours off the 0.032 floor, reinforcing the idea of a classic strategic rotation at play.

Source: TradingView (ETH/BTC)

Against this setup, a long market bet starts to make sense. 

In Derivatives, positioning has been clearly tilted to one side, with the ETH/USDT perpetuals on Binance showing a 70%+ long skew across multiple timeframes. Simply put, Ethereum traders are leaning hard into the upside.

Backing this, ETH’s Open Interest (OI) has climbed by $2 billion in under 72 hours, while BTC’s has jumped by $280 million. That’s 7× slower than ETH’s pace, highlighting the sharp rotation of leverage toward Ethereum.

Taken together, ETH’s 3.5% rebound is riding on solid rotational flows and a clear speculative liquidity buildup.

The question now is whether that’s enough to fuel a breakout, or if Ethereum risks setting a classic bull trap?

ETH extends early stress patterns into late November
Ethereum’s underlying resilience still isn’t showing up in the chart. 

Since October, Ethereum hasn’t put in a single V-shaped recovery, which naturally leans the structure bearish. Technically, the three lower highs and three lower lows keep momentum pinned to the downside.

Against that backdrop, fading conviction isn’t surprising.

One Ethereum whale just moved 3,000 ETH ($9.53 million) back to Binance after 1.5 months, realizing a $6.92 million loss and keeping ETH’s NRPL in the red.

Source: TradingView (ETH/USDT)

In short, smart money is capitulating rather than HODLing.

On top of that, Ethereum ETFs have seen only two days of inflows in the past two weeks, with millions flowing out on the rest, keeping distribution pressure high. Taken together, ETH breaking the floor isn’t surprising.

After two weeks of sideways chop, bulls couldn’t hold $3.5k as support.

Right now, ETH’s $3k level is showing a similar pattern, leaving late longs at risk of being trapped. As a result, Ethereum looks set to carry its early-November stress pattern into the latter half of the month.

Summarize this article with:

While the crypto industry takes wave after wave, Aster recently caused unexpected turmoil. The cause: a CoinMarketCap update that disrupted token unlock forecasts. Speculations immediately soared. Yet, to everyone’s surprise, this turmoil turned into an opportunity for the project. Aster clarified its position, enhanced transparency, and… the market reacted. A +10% rise amid a crypto crisis? That’s worth a closer look.

In brief

An update on CMC sparked panic about ASTER token unlocks.
Aster responded by promising transparency via a public wallet to track unlocked funds.
CZ revealed he invested 2.5 million dollars in the altcoin from his personal wallet.
ASTER’s price jumped from $0.91 to $1.17 in just a few days.

When a CMC update triggers a crypto panic wave
Already, the fear index is at its lowest, fallen to 10… and suddenly ASTER holders discover, at the end of October, a massive delay in unlocks on CoinMarketCap: mid-2026, even 2035. The crypto community was caught off guard. Concern quickly rises. Some wonder about a possible policy change.

The response comes from @Aster_DEX:

A recent update of ASTER’s tokenomics on CoinMarketCap (CMC) caused confusion within the community. This confusion stems from a misunderstanding, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused. We want to clarify that ASTER’s tokenomics have not changed.

In reality, tokens were indeed planned to be unlocked each month. But lacking a usage plan, they never left the locked address. No impact on circulating supply, therefore. The project only provided an updated display, which was misinterpreted. And in such a fragile crypto market, this kind of misunderstanding is enough to cause panic.

Aster: enhanced transparency, public wallet, and regained trust
To prevent any recurrence, the Aster team takes an unprecedented decision: making public the unlocked but unused funds. These tokens will be transferred to a specific address, visible and traceable by all.

They state:

We currently have neither the need nor intention to spend funds from this address. We will continue to demonstrate transparency with the community regarding the use of these funds in the future.

This gesture of openness is quite rare in the crypto universe, often criticized for its opaque areas. It places Aster in a defensive, but also proactive stance. Compared to other altcoins, like Arbitrum or Optimism, which sometimes face distrust about their internal management, Aster takes the initiative.

This change in dynamics allows the project to regain credibility. Caution remains, but some traders praise the team’s clarity.

CZ bets on Aster: domino effect in the altcoin universe
On November 11, a tweet causes a shockwave. Changpeng Zhao, aka CZ, Binance’s founder, announces outright that he just bought Aster with his own money on the platform. He specifies that he is not a trader, but a long-term investor, affirming that he buys and holds his positions.

It’s the first time CZ admits publicly investing in a token other than BNB. Result: the price rises from $0.91 to $1.26 in a few hours. Some see it as an unofficial green light. One trader even comments that the market’s behavior gave the impression that CZ sold his BTC to go all in on ASTER.

This announcement supports an already favorable technical setup. The price had rebounded from a solid base at $0.85, then broke through a downtrend line. According to analysts, a target between $1.90 and $2.70 becomes credible.

Key figures and facts to remember

ASTER price at the time of writing: $1.17;
Highest recorded price: $2.42 (September);
Post-CZ increase: +35% in one day;
Amount publicly invested by CZ: 2.5 million dollars;
CMC announcement date: November 15, 2025.

Recently, Aster was added to Coinbase’s listing roadmap. In the ultra-competitive altcoin universe, such institutional recognition carries significant credibility. At a time when most of the crypto market battles distrust, Aster seems to be taking the lead, slowly but surely.

XRP is facing renewed selling pressure after major holders off-loaded nearly 200 million tokens in just 48 hours, adding momentum to an already fragile market structure. 

In this line, wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP have sharply reduced their balances, marking one of the steepest two-day declines in whale holdings this quarter, according to on-chain data from Santiment shared by Ali Martinez.

XRP whale transaction chart. Source: Santiment
The sell-off aligns with XRP’s ongoing downward trend, as prices drift toward the lower end of their range. 

Whale activity shows large holders steadily reducing exposure, signaling weakening confidence. If bearish momentum accelerates, XRP could retest the critical $2 support zone, and a failure to hold above it may lead to deeper losses.

This potential decline comes as XRP has recorded 716 whale transactions worth over $1 million each, the highest count in four months and a strong signal of renewed large-holder activity. 

The surge raises questions about whether whales are accumulating or offloading positions, as spikes in high-value transfers often precede significant price moves. 

If whales are buying, the activity could support a short-term rebound; if they are distributing, it may reinforce the current downtrend and increase the risk of a sharper pullback.

XRP price analysis 
By press time, XRP was trading at $2.26, up 0.28% in the past 24 hours with modest intraday movement. 

XRP seven-day price chart. Source: Finbold
At current levels, XRP remains well below its key simple moving averages, signaling sustained downward pressure. 

The 50-day SMA at $2.57 acts as near-term resistance, roughly 12.7% above spot, suggesting that strong buying is needed to reclaim bullish territory and potentially test the $2.70 region. 

Meanwhile, the 200-day SMA at $2.65, about 16.2% higher, serves as a longer-term threshold; a decisive break above it could confirm a trend reversal, while failure would leave the token vulnerable to further declines toward $2.

Complementing this outlook, the 14-day RSI stands at 41.5, firmly within neutral territory. This indicates balanced momentum but little conviction for an immediate breakout in either direction.

Key NotesThe largest whales on Hyperliquid are going short as Bitcoin consolidates around $96,000.Bitcoin’s social dominance signals severe retail panic and FUD.The broader crypto market is seeing pressure from both macro and micro factors.
Bitcoin’s (BTC) fall below the crucial $100,000 mark last week triggered a wave of short positions from massive whales on Hyperliquid.

The largest Hyperliquid whales, with over $50 million in digital assets, have been heavily betting on a further crypto market correction, according to data from Coinglass.

Data shows that the so-called Hyperliquid “Leviathans” – referring to a mythical sea monster to illustrate their size – currently have $3.44 billion in open positions, comprising $1.15 billion in longs and $2.29 billion in shorts, on the perpetual exchange.

These whales, with a size of over $50 million, are the only traders betting heavily on a deeper crypto market fall.

According to Coinglass data, the traders’ sentiment rises as their sizes decline; the most bullish traders are the so-called “shrimps,” which have a wallet size of up to $250.

Bitcoin’s Social Dominance Shows Panic
Following Bitcoin’s fall below $95,000 on Friday, Nov. 14, the sense of fear, uncertainty, and doubt among the crypto community skyrocketed.

According to an X post by Santiment, the Bitcoin social dominance spiked to four-month highs, a level last seen in mid-July.

📈 Though not a guaranteed crypto bottom signal, probabilities of a market reversal greatly increases when social dominance for Bitcoin surges. During Friday's dip below $95K, discussion rates hit a 4-month high, signaling severe retail panic & FUD.

— Santiment (@santimentfeed) November 16, 2025

The surge in Bitcoin’s social dominance was followed by retail panic and FUD, which consequently triggered a price correction, from $120,000 to $112,000 within two weeks, for the leading asset.

Currently, Bitcoin is seeing similar sentiment, and Santiment is hinting at “probabilities of a market reversal.”

One of the reasons behind the market-wide correction is the massive outflows from Bitcoin-based exchange-traded funds in the US. Coinspeaker reported that spot BTC ETFs recorded a net outflow of $1.8 billion last week.

According to a Barron’s report, investors are shifting away from riskier assets, such as cryptocurrencies, due to concerns about shaky economies and high valuations in tech and AI stocks.

However, this cannot be a guaranteed bottom signal for the crypto market. When large whales go against the broader market and the crowd wanders in uncertainty, history suggests something big might be brewing.

Pi Coin price is up across the 1-month, 7-day, and 24-hour charts while still down 40% in three months, showing rare early strength.A breakout from a symmetrical triangle, a CMF jump from –0.09 to +0.05, and rising OBV signal growing buyer interest.$0.229 is the key breakout level; holding it opens targets at $0.236 and $0.252, while losing $0.215 risks a fall to $0.208.Pi Coin just printed something unusual. Three major timeframes are green at the same time. The one-month chart is up 9.5%, the seven-day chart is up 2.1%, and the last 24 hours are up 3.5%.

This is rare because the Pi Coin price is still down almost 40% in the three-month window. The token is showing early strength while most of the market is still stuck in a slow bleed. The question now is simple: is this just a brief bounce, or the start of a larger move?

Symmetrical Triangle Breakout Surfaces As Money Flow Turns PositivePI has been stuck inside a symmetrical triangle for weeks. This pattern typically indicates indecision, rather than a trend direction.

However, yesterday, the Pi Coin price broke through the upper boundary and is now testing the confirmation level near $0.229, a key level. A clean candle close above that line is the first sign that buyers are finally taking control.

Pi Coin Breaks Out: TradingViewWant more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.

The next clue comes from the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF). CMF measures whether money is moving into or out of an asset. Two days ago, CMF broke out of its descending trend line, rising sharply from –0.09 to +0.05.

This jump shows that the breakout is not random. Bigger Pi Coin wallets may be stepping in as the pattern flips bullish.

Big Money Flows In: TradingViewSponsored

The On-Balance Volume (OBV) tells the other half of the story. OBV tracks buying and selling volume to show whether traders support the move. OBV touched lower, back to its rising trend line on November 12–13, hinting that retail volume wasn’t ready.

However, since November 14, OBV has begun to curl upward again. If OBV breaks its upper trend line, it confirms that retail Pi Coin buyers are now joining the move sparked by the CMF breakout.

Retail Volume Coming Back: TradingViewThe combination of a technical breakout, rising money flow, and recovering OBV gives Pi Coin its strongest setup in weeks.

Pi Coin Price Levels To Watch As Momentum BuildsIf the Pi Coin price closes above $0.229, the move could extend to $0.236, representing a gain of approximately 4.2% from current levels. If momentum holds, the next target is near $0.252, which has previously acted as strong resistance.

However, the bullish setup can fail if the OBV rolls over again or the CMF slips back into negative territory. A drop below $0.215 weakens the structure and exposes a slide toward $0.208.

Pi Coin Price Analysis: TradingViewCurrently, the Pi Coin price is exhibiting rare strength across multiple timeframes. Whether that strength lasts comes down to one line: $0.229. If the bulls defend it, PI’s green streak may have more room to run.

According to 10x Research, the price has fallen below both the 7-day and 30-day moving averages, which shows weak short-term and medium-term momentum. 

Over the past week, it has lost 6.7%, dropping under $100,000.  Large holders, or “whales,” have been selling, contributing to this decline.

Death cross In the meantime, Bitcoin has formed a new "death cross." While the term might seem scary, this is generally viewed as a lagging indicator.  

According to analyst Benjamin Cowen, these events have often coincided with local market lows, meaning short-term bottoms. 

However, he cautions that if the current cycle is ending, any bounce after the death cross might fail. 

The analyst notes that if Bitcoin is going to rebound within this cycle, signs of a bounce should appear within the next week. If no bounce happens, it likely signals further downside before a larger rally toward the 200-day moving average, which would then form a macro lower high, a key point in the market cycle.

As Bitcoin (BTC) struggles to hold above the $95,000 support zone, the cryptocurrency appears primed for deeper losses toward the $80,000 region.

According to analysis by Ali Martinez, Bitcoin has broken below a key ascending channel, a structure that had supported price action throughout previous months.

The breakdown is significant because it signals a shift in momentum from consolidation to a more pronounced bearish trend.

In an X post on November 16, the analyst noted that this move “opens the door to a drop toward $83,500,” marking one of the most bearish near-term projections since the recent market correction began.

After failing to reclaim the $100,500 support zone, Bitcoin continued forming lower highs and lower lows, pointing to a weakening market structure. The analysis outlined a likely brief consolidation between $95,000 and $97,000 before the downtrend resumes.

At the same time, the projection highlighted two stages: an initial retest of the mid-$90,000 area, followed by a deeper slide through support levels at $91,500, $89,000, and $86,500. If these levels fail, a move toward $83,000 becomes increasingly likely.

Bitcoin hits Extreme Fear 
Notably, the bearish outlook comes as the crypto market remains deep in risk-off territory, with the Bitcoin Fear & Greed Index plunging to 10 firmly in Extreme Fear. The reading has held steady, highlighting a month-long deterioration in sentiment; just a week ago, the index sat at 22 and already signaled heightened caution.

This prolonged slump suggests traders are increasingly anxious amid volatility and broader economic uncertainty. Extreme fear reflects intensified selling pressure and a retreat by many market participants. Historically, similar lows have often aligned with market bottoms as panic peaks and weaker hands exit.

For prices, this environment points to a market nearing a psychological breaking point. While extreme fear may fuel further short-term weakness as traders avoid new positions, such sentiment troughs have also marked moments when long-term investors begin accumulating assets viewed as undervalued.

Though sentiment alone doesn’t dictate price action, a reading this low highlights an emotionally stretched market that may be poised for a significant shift once confidence returns.

Bitcoin price analysis 
By press time, Bitcoin was trading at $95,973, having gained a modest 0.13% in the past 24 hours, while on the weekly timeline the asset has plunged about 6%.

At the current price, Bitcoin sits well below its 50-day SMA of $111,417 and 200-day SMA of $105,695, placing it firmly beneath major trend indicators and reinforcing a clear bearish posture. Such a wide gap between spot price and these moving averages typically signals fading momentum and a market struggling to regain upward direction.

The 14-day RSI at 31.23 adds further context. While not yet oversold, it is hovering just above that level, indicating sellers have dominated but that downside pressure may be nearing exhaustion.

This oft-overlooked cryptocurrency deserves a bit more attention.

During the past 12 months, Cardano's (ADA 0.36%) price declined about 13% as Bitcoin (BTC +0.17%) and Ethereum (ETH +1.68%) rose 9% and 2%, respectively. It's still the world's 10th most valuable cryptocurrency with a market cap of about $18 billion, but it struggled even as lower interest rates generated tailwinds for the broader crypto market.

Cardano also remains more than 80% below its all-time high, even as Bitcoin and Ethereum set fresh all-time highs earlier this year (though they have declined in recent weeks). But even though the bulls are shunning Cardano, I believe this underappreciated token could double to $1 within the next year.

Why does Cardano have room to grow?
Cardano was created by Ethereum co-founder Charles Hoskinson. Like Ethereum, Cardano uses the proof of stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to validate its transactions instead of the proof of work (PoW) mechanism used to mine Bitcoin. PoS tokens can't be mined, but they can be staked to earn more coins as interest-like rewards. PoS blockchains also support smart contracts, which are used to create decentralized apps (dApps) and other crypto assets.

Unlike other tokens that are minted on Ethereum's blockchain, Cardano minted its coins on its own proprietary PoS blockchain protocol called Ouroboros. Cardano added staking features to its blockchain in 2020 and support for smart contracts in 2021. Its projects are also approved with formal peer reviews to ensure their scalability and security. Ethereum and other PoS blockchains don't use formal reviews to greenlight every single project.

Cardano is often valued by the speed and growth of its developer ecosystem. On its own, its Layer-1 (L1) blockchain can achieve speeds of 250 transactions per second (TPS), compared to Ethereum's average L1 speed of just 15 to 30 TPS. Cardano can achieve even higher speeds of about 1,000 TPS with its Layer-2 (L2) Hydra "heads," which process more of its transactions off-chain so they don't congest its L1 blockchain. Ethereum's developers also bundle together their transactions in a similar manner with its L2 rollups.

Cardano has a circulating supply of about 36 billion tokens with a fixed maximum supply of 45 billion tokens. Ethereum doesn't have a maximum supply. Therefore, Cardano can also be valued by its scarcity like Bitcoin -- which has a maximum supply of 21 million tokens.

What catalysts could drive Cardano's price to $1?
More than 70% of Cardano's circulating supply is already staked, which means less than 30% of those tokens are available for trading. If more investors buy Cardano and stake their tokens, its supply will drop further and drive up its price. Several catalysts could spark that long-overdue rally.

First and foremost, its developer ecosystem needs to expand. It doesn't serve as many developers as Ethereum, the world's leading blockchain for building new dApps and other crypto projects. But its L1 blockchain is faster and its charges fixed transaction fees, which are often cheaper than Ethereum's surge pricing gas (user) fees when the network is congested.

Meanwhile, the expansion of its hydra heads should further boost its speed, improve its scalability, and help it compete more effectively against Solana (SOL +0.49%) -- another popular PoS blockchain which processes its transactions much faster than Ethereum and Cardano.

Solana has two main weaknesses: Its network suffers frequent outages, and it has high hardware requirements. Since Solana runs on more powerful hardware, it's more centralized than decentralized blockchains like Ethereum and Cardano, which can validate transactions across a broader range of less powerful devices.

So, as Cardano upgrades and expands this ecosystem, it could attract more developers. Those developers would launch more dApps that support Cardano's token, and its price would stabilize and rise. As that happens, the market's demand could outweigh its tight supply of unstaked tokens -- and its price could finally soar to fresh highs. Even if its price doubles to $1, though, its market cap would only rise to $36 billion.

Cardano could also loosen its rigid peer-reviewed approval process to attract more developers, and some crypto firms could try to launch their own spot price exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the token. Moreover, further interest rate cuts -- which could finally reduce those stubbornly high Treasury yields -- would drive more investors back toward the smaller cryptocurrencies like Cardano.

Cardano's price could remain volatile, but it clearly has a shot at hitting $1 during the next 12 months as those tailwinds kick in. It might not attract as much attention as Bitcoin and Ethereum, but investors shouldn't toss it out with the weaker meme coins, which don't have as many long-term catalysts.

The US DOJ is seeking to seize over $15 million in USDT tied to North Korean state-backed hacking unit APT38.

The past week has been one of the most significant in XRP's history — yet the timing could not have been more difficult for the broader crypto market. After years of regulatory setbacks, courtroom battles, and multiple ETF attempts, the first U.S. spot exchange-traded fund tied to XRP officially began trading.

A deteriorating labor market will likely add to the affordability crisis. Rising unemployment could cool wage growth and weigh on sentiment, potentially curbing consumer spending. A pullback in spending would raise stagflation risks, given that private consumption accounts for around 65% of the US GDP.

Increasing stagflation risks could trigger further BTC-spot ETF outflows and send BTC lower.

Bitcoin Drops to Six-Month Low as ETF Outflows Intensify
Waning bets on a December Fed rate cut and rising stagflation risks push BTC to a six-month low of $93,942. Crucially, demand for BTC through spot ETFs plummeted, adding to the bearish sentiment.

The US BTC-spot ETF market saw total net outflows of $1.11 billion in the reporting week ending Friday, November 14. Outflows for November surged to $2.32 billion. According to Farside Investors, key weekly flows included:

BlackRock’s (BLK) iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) saw net outflows of $532.4 million.
Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC) reported net outflows of $289.9 million.
In total, nine of the eleven ETF issuers registered net outflows in the week.

Crucially, BTC dropped 8.59% for the week, extending November’s loss to 12.63%. However, ETF issuers remain in positive territory for 2025, despite the third week of outflows. NovaDius Wealth Management President Nate Geraci commented on a brutal Thursday, November 13, session, stating:

“Spot btc ETFs w/ 2nd-biggest outflow yesterday… $870 million. Category still w/ $24+ bil inflows on the year.”

Key Week Ahead: US Inflation, Jobs Data, and the Fed in Focus
The week ahead could be a pivotal week for BTC and the broader crypto market. US inflation and jobs data will likely influence bets on a December Fed rate cut. Higher inflation figures may further dampen expectations of monetary policy easing. Meanwhile, a weaker labor market could fuel stagflation concerns, another headwind for BTC.

With key US data in focus, traders should closely monitor Fed speakers for reactions to the data and views on cutting rates.

Bitcoin’s price trends continued to influence the broader crypto market, pushing Ethereum (ETH) to $3,000.

Ethereum ETF Outflows Send ETH to Key Support Levels
ETH-spot ETF issuers saw total net outflows of $728.3 million in the reporting week ending November 14. Notably, ETH tumbled to a November 14 low of $3,073 before briefly reclaiming the $3,200 handle.

Significantly, ETH was on track for a third consecutive weekly loss, down 11% at the time of writing. ETH-spot ETFs reported net outflows in four of the last five weeks, sending ETH lower.

Solana price continued its strong downward trend, moving from the September high of $253 in September to the current $142. It is now hovering near its lowest level since June 27 this year.

Bitcoin ETFs have already reshaped how investors interact with crypto, but 2026 is set to be a different kind of year. Growing institutional appetite, global regulatory clarity, and tighter competition among asset managers mean these funds will play an even bigger role in how capital flows into Bitcoin.

Why Top 5 Bitcoin ETFs Will Matter Even More in 2026Bitcoin ETFs aren’t just a convenience anymore. They’ve become the preferred entry point for institutions that want exposure without touching wallets, private keys, or the operational mess that comes with direct crypto custody.

As ETF ecosystems mature, a few trends are taking shape:

Capital from pension funds, hedge funds, and corporate treasuries keeps rising.Fee wars among major issuers are driving more investor-friendly products.ETF inflows and outflows now influence Bitcoin’s short-term price more than retail trading does.So if you want a sense of where smart money is moving, watch the ETF market.

BlackRock’s IBIT: SoSoValueBlackRock’s IBIT is still the heavyweight champion. With over $74 billion in AUM and the deepest liquidity in the sector, it remains the go-to ETF for institutions that want scale and stability. If any ETF drives the market in 2026, it’s this one. Even modest inflow spikes here can move Bitcoin’s price noticeably.

2. Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund (FBTC)FBTC: SoSoValueFidelity brings a long-standing reputation that appeals to conservative, traditional investors. Expect FBTC to shine in 2026 if retirement funds and long-horizon institutional players increase their Bitcoin allocations. Fidelity’s research-driven approach and low fee structure make this ETF a steady magnet for inflows.

3. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust ETF (GBTC)GBTC: SoSoValueGBTC was once the linchpin of institutional Bitcoin exposure before ETFs were approved. Even though others have overtaken it, GBTC’s massive remaining asset base still gives it influence. In 2026, its impact will depend on whether Grayscale continues lowering fees and modernizing the structure to stay competitive.

4. Grayscale Bitcoin Mini Trust (BTC)BTC:SoSoValueThe Mini Trust is designed to be leaner and cheaper than GBTC, and that simplicity has helped it find its own audience. As fee competition heats up next year, this ETF could see a noticeable surge from cost-conscious investors and smaller institutions entering the Bitcoin market for the first time.

ARKB:SoSoValueARK Invest has built a brand around innovation, and ARKB fits that theme perfectly. Cathie Wood's consistent bullish outlook on crypto attracts growth-focused investors who want more than just passive exposure. If Bitcoin enters another expansion phase in 2026, ARKB is likely to outperform in inflows thanks to its audience and strategy.

Top 5 Bitcoin ETFs: What This Means for Investors in 2026Watching these ETFs isn’t just about knowing where the big money sits. It’s about reading the market’s mood. Inflows usually hint at rising institutional confidence. Outflows often signal caution. And because ETFs now hold such a large share of circulating Bitcoin, their movements can amplify both rallies and corrections.

Whether you’re trading short term or thinking long term, paying attention to the ETF landscape gives you a real advantage. These five funds will shape the narrative in 2026 more than any others.

The Bottom LineThese top 5 Bitcoin ETFs have become the bridge between traditional finance and digital assets. In 2026, that bridge gets even busier. IBIT sets the pace, Fidelity brings credibility, Grayscale fights to retain its legacy, the Mini Trust keeps costs competitive, and ARKB taps into the innovation crowd.

If you want a clear picture of where institutional capital is heading next year, start by watching these five ETFs closely.

Devconnect Buenos Aires positions Ethereum as a mature, real-world technology, showcasing stablecoin payments, consumer-ready wallets and live Layer 2 infrastructure.Argentina serves as the ideal backdrop, highlighting Ethereum’s usefulness in high-inflation economies, cross-border payments and grassroots crypto adoption.Organizers frame this edition as an “Ethereum World’s Fair,” emphasizing community-driven curation and demonstrating that Ethereum’s impact is already happening today—not a distant promise.As Devconnect prepares to open in Buenos Aires, the global Ethereum ecosystem is gearing up for its most ambitious edition yet. This year, Devconnect invites builders, researchers, and users to experience Ethereum not as a distant future, but as a technology that is already building daily life and proving its value in real-world environments.

To understand what sets this edition apart, BeInCrypto spoke with Nathan Sexer, Devconnect Lead, about community-driven curation, the rise of stablecoin payments, Argentina’s unique place in the crypto movement, and why 2025 could be a defining year for Ethereum.

Asked how Devconnect manages to maintain its grassroots energy while coordinating more than forty independently organized events, Sexer says the foundation of the events has remained the same since the very beginning.

“Devconnect works because it is community led. Curators shape their own events, define the depth and decide how the conversations should unfold,” he explains. “Our role is simply to remove friction, publish agendas early and create common spaces where people naturally meet.”

Those shared spaces include the Cowork, Community Hubs, Discussion Corners and even music and cinema areas designed to foster natural collaboration. The goal is to keep Devconnect accessible and open, while allowing each organizer to retain full creative ownership.

Why This Edition Feels Like Ethereum World’s FairThis year’s Devconnect comes with a bold comparison: for the first time, organizers are framing the gathering as the “Ethereum World’s Fair.” According to Sexer, the framing reflects the moment the ecosystem is in.

“World’s Fairs historically introduced paradigm-shifting technologies. We believe Ethereum is at a similar moment,” he says. “Hundreds of applications are live today. We want people to touch and feel what a society built on Ethereum could look like.”

The intention is to showcase that Ethereum is not a promise for the future, but a powerful infrastructure layer that is already working across numerous sectors.

What Ethereum Is Ready to Show the World in 2025While crypto discourse often revolves around what might happen in the future, Devconnect Buenos Aires is focused on what already functions at scale. And if there is one area where Ethereum is poised to stand out in 2025, Sexer says it is everyday payments.

“Payments and stablecoins will be the breakout story,” he notes. “Attendees will actually be able to use them on the ground, including paying for food directly in crypto.”

This experience will be supported by an increasingly mature Layer 2 ecosystem, production-ready rollups, practical account abstraction and mainstream UX through passkeys and session keys.

Beyond payments, visitors can expect progress in privacy proofs, open finance, on-chain treasuries, public goods frameworks for funding and identity, and new forms of on-chain media and social platforms.

Real-World Use Cases Take Centre StageOne of Devconnect’s overarching goals is to highlight that Ethereum adoption is already happening in environments where it matters most. Argentina is one of those environments.

“Cross-border payments in high-inflation economies show how powerful stablecoins can be,” Sexer says. “Instant settlement through local offramps simply offers a better user experience than traditional payment systems.”

In addition to financial use cases, this year’s edition will feature advancements in consumer wallets designed for everyday users, as well as developments in gaming, hardware, and the fast-growing intersection of crypto and AI.

Why Buenos Aires Is the Perfect Host CityChoosing Buenos Aires was far from accidental. For Sexer, Argentina currently embodies many of the conditions that make Ethereum’s infrastructure so relevant.

“You have a crypto-native population shaped by inflation and capital controls. You have strong developer culture with universities, meetups, hackerspaces and startups. And logistically, the city is ideal for a distributed fair,” he explains.

It is a place where global innovation and local necessity converge, creating fertile ground for meaningful experimentation and adoption.

Even with its decentralized structure, Devconnect operates with a clear north star.

“Every event must be builder first, high signal and curated by teams we trust,” Sexer says. “We focus on Ethereum’s top priorities, from apps and DeFi to AI, but the independence of each organizer is what gives Devconnect its identity.”

The larger narrative emerges through shared values rather than centralized programming.

The Impact Devconnect Hopes to Leave BehindFor Sexer, the legacy of this edition extends far beyond a week of talks and showcases.

“We want to bring the world to Argentina, channel talent and resources into the local community and empower local entrepreneurs, builders, students, regulators and developers,” he says.

From collaborations and job opportunities to new funding paths, the intention is for Devconnect to accelerate long-term growth for both the global and the local ecosystem.

What People Might Remember About Devconnect BAEvery Devconnec and Devcont has marked a particular moment in Ethereum’s evolution. So what will Buenos Aires represent when the community looks back years from now?

“We hope it becomes the point when people realize how big Ethereum already is,” Sexer reflects. “Not as a future promise, but as a technology making real impact today.”

In many ways, Devconnect Buenos Aires feels less like a conference and more like a moment in time. The kind of community remembers not because of announcements or headlines, but because something shifts in the collective understanding of what is possible.

As Nathan Sexer suggests, this edition is not here to speculate about the future. It is here to show a version of it that already exists. In the streets of Buenos Aires, where inflation defines daily decisions and open money is not a theory but a lifeline, Ethereum’s usefulness becomes unmistakably clear.

What emerges is a portrait of a technology that has quietly matured: stablecoins used in the same way people use cash, wallets designed for real humans, and infrastructure built not for hype but for resilience. Devconnect BA gathers these pieces into a living mosaic: not polished, not perfect, but undeniably alive.

Suppose each Devconnect has captured a different chapter of Ethereum’s evolution. In that case, Buenos Aires may be remembered as the moment the ecosystem stopped talking about potential and simply showed what it already is.

A world’s fair not of spectacle, but of substance. A reminder that the future arrives gradually, then all at once, sometimes in a city that needed it most.

What to know: XRP experienced a significant selloff, dropping from $2.31 to $2.22, despite the launch of a new U.S. spot XRP ETF.The market remains bearish with XRP struggling to break above the $2.23–$2.24 resistance zone.Institutional interest is evident from ETF inflows, but broader market pressures continue to suppress crypto momentum.XRP faced intense selling pressure at key support levels before a dramatic, high-volume V-shaped reversal signaled potential exhaustion of downward momentum.

News BackgroundThe decline unfolded against a backdrop of mixed institutional signals and heightened macro uncertainty. Crypto markets remain trapped in a medium-term downtrend, with sentiment pinned in the fear zone as volatility spikes across majors.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Canary Capital’s newly launched U.S. spot XRP ETF (XRPC) registered $58.6 million in first-day volume, far exceeding analyst expectations of $17 million. Yet the strong debut failed to stabilize XRP, as derivatives markets flashed stress signals. Roughly $28 million in XRP liquidations hit within 24 hours, with long positions accounting for nearly $25 million of the wipeout.

Market analysts warn that institutional flows remain conflicted—ETF inflows show interest, but broader risk-off pressure continues suppressing crypto liquidity and momentum.

Price Action SummaryXRP dropped 4.3% from $2.31 to $2.22 during the 24-hour session ending November 16 at 02:00 UTC. The decline carved a $0.10 range with a clear sequence of lower highs confirming bearish structure.

The most aggressive selling hit at 00:00 UTC, when 74M XRP traded—69% above the 24-hour average—breaking the $2.24 support. Price slid to $2.22, marking the session low. Three separate volume spikes above 57M during decline phases validated sustained distribution.

Despite the ETF catalyst, the selloff accelerated as price rejected $2.31 and failed to find support near prior consolidation zones. The pair settled into a tight $2.22–$2.23 consolidation after the breakdown.

The Scaramucci family has invested over $100 million into American Bitcoin, the mining company tied to US President Donald Trump’s sons.

The funding came through Solari Capital, the investment firm founded by AJ Scaramucci, which led the company’s $220 million round in July, months before American Bitcoin went public through a reverse merger in September, according to a report from Fortune. The miner did not previously disclose its backers.

AJ Scaramucci told Fortune that Solari Capital contributed “over $100 million,” though he did not reveal the exact amount. His father, Anthony Scaramucci, also participated with a smaller investment.

Other contributors included Tony Robbins, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, investor Grant Cardone and entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, per the report.

American Bitcoin is the 25th largest public Bitcoin holder. Source: BitcoinTreasuries.NETBitcoin is beyond politicsThe involvement came amid a long-running feud between Anthony Scaramucci and Donald Trump. Scaramucci briefly served as Trump’s White House communications director in 2017 before being fired days later, later emerging as a vocal critic who endorsed Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in the 2020 and 2024 elections.

However, AJ said politics played no role in the deal. “Has my Dad and Don Sr. have they had their fair share of back and forth? Of course they have,” he told Fortune. “But Bitcoin transcends politics.” Anthony also reportedly called Bitcoin the “orange team” that sits above partisan divides.

According to the report, AJ sourced the investment through a long-standing personal connection. He was roommates with Matt Prusak, now the president of American Bitcoin, while attending Stanford’s business school.

When Prusak told him the miner would be spun out from Hut 8, AJ pushed for Solari to lead the round. He said he believes the company can compete with publicly traded Bitcoin accumulation firms, including those positioning their stock as a proxy for owning BTC.

American Bitcoin holds 4,000 BTCAmerican Bitcoin mines and holds Bitcoin, and also purchases additional BTC on the open market. According to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, the firm holds 4,004 BTC, worth around $383.86 million, on its balance sheet.

In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Eric Trump said the current crypto downturn is no cause for concern, calling volatility a necessary trade-off for high returns. His comments come as Bitcoin briefly slipped below $95,000, about 25% lower than its early-October peak.
