Ethereum and Zcash Are Crypto's True Innovations Post Bitcoin, Says Balaji cryptonews
ETH ZEC
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

Balaji Srinivasan has distilled 15 years of crypto experimentation down to a stark claim: after Bitcoin, only two core protocol breakthroughs truly matter—Ethereum for programmability and Zcash for privacy.

In a wide-ranging appearance on Mert Mumtaz’s “Accelerate with Mert” podcast, Srinivasan argued that the industry has already completed the “programmability era” and is now entering a decisive phase where privacy and zero-knowledge cryptography become central to crypto’s mission. “The two major innovations on Bitcoin were programmability in the form of Ethereum and privacy in the form of Zcash,” he said.

From Bitcoin To Programmability To Zcash
Srinivasan breaks crypto’s history into three arcs. First, Bitcoin simply had to prove that non-sovereign, cryptographic money could work at all. Then, Ethereum generalized that into a programmable platform with smart contracts, stablecoins, NFTs, DEXs and on-chain capital markets.

By now, he argued, that second phase is effectively validated. “We now have scalable on-chain smart contracts that can support [a] large number of users, large numbers of transactions with finality. There’s multiple good chains. It works. It runs 24/7,” he said, noting that crypto is already functioning in developing markets: “In Bolivia, they quote prices in Tether. In Nigeria, they save in Bitcoin. This stuff is no longer theory. It’s actually there.”

The next phase, he says, is privacy by design. “Now the next eight years… privacy,” Srinivasan said. “Taking everything we just did and encrypting it using ZK.” That includes ZK-based KYC (“ZKYC”), privacy-preserving DEXs, and smart contracts that reveal only the minimum necessary information. He pointed to industry work showing how traditional KYC could be replicated with zero-knowledge proofs: “If you nail ZK then you can replace the entire [compliance] system.”

This is where Zcash matters: not as a marketing brand, but as the first mainstream proof that advanced zero-knowledge privacy can be embedded at the protocol level. Ethereum represents programmability; Zcash represents privacy. In Srinivasan’s framing, the future is about merging those ideas—Ethereum-style expressivity with Zcash-style cryptographic concealment—across L1s, rollups and application-specific systems.

.@balajis thinks the next 8 years in crypto will be the age of privacy.

Srinivasan pushed back hard on the idea that crypto is now primarily a speculative or commercial arena. “Crypto isn’t just about the commercial part,” he said. “It’s about the ideological part. It’s about the fact that the banks have failed. It’s about the fact the political system has failed. It’s about the fact that we need an exit. It’s about the fact that we need self-sovereignty. And the missing part of that is privacy.”

He compared this to the way Christmas is often defended by religious believers as more than shopping and Santa. “Remember the reason for the season” becomes, in his telling, a reminder that crypto’s “season” is about exit and self-sovereignty, not just yield, DeFi and token prices. Privacy, he argued, is what reconnects modern “commercial crypto” to those original cypherpunk and anti-censorship roots.

Notably, Srinivasan is a long-time advocate for ZK based technologies. In November 2024, he wrote via X: “Yes, Zcash is great and it’s already fit for purpose. One can continue using it for private transactions. But ZK is to encryption what the transformer is to AI. It generalizes many special case hacks into a new compute paradigm. We will get a ZK economy. So we do want a chain with ZK primitives in addition to a simple Zcash-like chain.”

At press time, ZCash traded at $501.59.

Cardano builds pressure at $0.56 – Is the breakout closer than ADA traders think? cryptonews
ADA
Journalist

Posted: November 13, 2025

Key Takeaways
What drives ADA’s improving sentiment and early breakout pressure?
ADA gains strength from synchronized crowd and smart-money sentiment, tighter price compression, and rising Taker Buy dominance.

What levels matter for Cardano traders now?
$0.6183 caps upside pressure, while $0.5426 remains critical support during the next breakout attempt.

Cardano [ADA] gained strength as both retail traders and smart-money participants showed synchronized optimism across sentiment dashboards. Crowd sentiment leaned mildly bullish, while smart-money readings showed stronger conviction and pointed to firmer accumulation behavior.

That alignment rarely appeared during corrective phases.

As a result, it added a meaningful psychological boost to ADA’s short-term outlook.

Is ADA preparing for a breakout from its tightening channel?
ADA traded at $0.5650 and continued to compress inside a narrowing descending channel. The structure dominated recent price action.

The price approached the upper boundary of the wedge and attempted to build early breakout pressure.

On top of that, repeated bounces near the $0.5426 support showed consistent defense from buyers.

However, resistance at $0.6183 remained a key barrier. Descending channels often produced decisive moves once volatility compressed long enough.

Source: TradingView

Taker Buy dominance grows
Taker Buy CVD showed buyers absorbing sell-side pressure consistently, and this shift confirmed the presence of active demand in the Futures market.

The cumulative trend favored buyers and strengthened short-term momentum. That activity suggested aggressive participants were using market orders rather than waiting for retracements.

This behavior often marks the start of stronger continuation moves. 

Additionally, the alignment between sentiment and order flow added weight to the emerging bullish structure. Altogether, the market showed improving strength as buyers maintain initiative.

Open Interest rises as traders increase exposure
Open Interest climbed by 2.66% to $681.16 million, and this increase reflected growing participation across Derivatives traders. 

Higher OI usually leads to stronger volatility, and this expansion shows that traders commit more capital to ADA. 

The OI expansion aligned with the tightening price structure, increasing the likelihood of a sharp move once ADA left the wedge.

By contrast, higher OI also increased liquidation risk if the price rejected near major resistance.

Longs dominate Binance positioning
Binance’s Long/Short Ratio showed 69.48% long accounts versus 30.52% short accounts. The account ratio of 2.28 confirmed traders leaned toward upside expectations.

Rising long exposure often reinforced bullish momentum when combined with stronger sentiment and rising OI. However, crowded long positioning could intensify volatility during abrupt pullbacks.

Even so, the positioning data supported a bullish narrative as traders shifted toward upside continuation.

Conclusively, Cardano displayed a rare combination of strengthening sentiment, rising futures demand, expanding Open Interest, and a tightening price structure near a breakout zone.

Since several independent indicators align, ADA is entering a phase where momentum could shift decisively. 

Although resistance at $0.6183 remains critical, the current setup favors bullish continuation if buyers sustain pressure. 

Therefore, ADA holds a realistic chance to push higher once it breaks the descending channel, but bulls must maintain strength at the $0.54 support zone.

Coinidol.com: Bitcoin Bounces Above the Psychological Price of $100,000 cryptonews
BTC
Nov 13, 2025 at 18:01 // Price

The price of Bitcoin (BTC) has been trading above the $100,000 support level but below the $107,000 high and the 21-day SMA barrier.

BTC price long-term prediction: bearish

Buyers have made two unsuccessful attempts since November 2 to keep the price above the 21-day SMA, as reported by Coinidol.com previously.

However, a break above the 21-day SMA or the $107,000 high would signal the continuation of the bullish trend. Bitcoin would then recover to its previous high of $116,000 and continue its upward trend.

On the downside, bears have frequently tested the psychological price of $100,000, and if this occurs again, Bitcoin will fall to the next support level at $89,000. In the meantime, Bitcoin is hovering above the $100,000 psychological price barrier, indicating a positive trend.

Technical indicators      

Key supply zones: $120,000, $125,000, $130,000

Key demand zones: $100,000, $95,000, $90,000

BTC price indicator analysis

On the daily chart, the 21-day and 50-day SMAs are sloping downwards, indicating a downtrend. The 21-day SMA acts as a resistance line for the upward price movement. Bullish momentum has been reversed twice. On the 4-hour chart, the price bars have retreated below the moving average lines following the recent market bounce.

What is the next move for BTC?

Bitcoin has resumed its sideways movement. The largest cryptocurrency is trading in a range above key support. The 4-hour chart shows Bitcoin trading above the $100,000 support and below the $107,000 peak. The price has bounced and pulled back three times after retesting this important support.

Tether helps authorities seize $12m in Southeast Asia scam cryptonews
USDT
Tether provided blockchain intelligence to Thai and U.S. agents, enabling the seizure of $12 million in USDT and the arrest of 73 individuals connected to a sprawling transnational scam network operating across Southeast Asia.

Summary

Tether helped Thai and U.S. authorities seize $12M in USDT from a transnational scam.
Seventy-three individuals were arrested, and additional assets worth over 522 million baht were recovered.

According to a press release dated Nov. 13, the operation was spearheaded by Thailand’s Technology Crime Suppression Division, which worked in concert with the U.S. Secret Service.

The coordinated effort led to the arrest of 73 individuals, including 51 Thai nationals and 22 foreigners, and the seizure of additional assets valued at over 522 million baht. Tether said its involvement provided key blockchain analysis that enabled authorities to trace the movement of the stolen USDT across the digital ledger.

“This operation highlights how blockchain transparency can empower law enforcement to act quickly and effectively against criminal activity,” Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino noted. “We are committed to supporting law enforcement around the world in freezing illicit assets, protecting victims, and ensuring that USDT continues to serve as a transparent tool for global commerce.”

Tether’s ongoing role
Tether’s involvement in the Southeast Asia seizure builds on a broader pattern of collaboration with law enforcement worldwide. Over the past year, the company has supported multiple high-profile operations aimed at halting illicit flows of digital assets.

In June, the U.S. Department of Justice publicly acknowledged Tether’s assistance in a landmark case that led to the seizure of approximately $225 million in USDT. The cooperation deepened this past March, with Tether acting on requests from the U.S. Secret Service to immobilize $23 million in illicit funds connected to transactions on the sanctioned crypto exchange Garantex.

In that same month, the company also moved to freeze an additional $9 million linked directly to the sophisticated attack on the Bybit exchange. The scale of this behind-the-scenes work is further illustrated by Tether’s disclosure that it has now blocked over 3,660 wallets at the request of law enforcement, with 2,100 cases conducted in direct coordination with various U.S. agencies.

According to the release, Tether has provided support to more than 290 law enforcement agencies across 59 different jurisdictions.

Bitcoin Dives Below $100K for Third Time This Month as Crypto Liquidations Top $500 Million cryptonews
BTC
In brief
Bitcoin slid with stocks on Thursday, dropping below $100,000.
It's the third time the coin has fallen under $100K in November after being above the mark for six months.
Analysts remain upbeat over crypto's medium- to long-term outlook.
Bitcoin's price dropped below $100,000 for the third time this month as investors sold off risk assets like cryptocurrencies and tech stocks, with broader worries about the economy weighing on markets. 

The price of the biggest digital coin was recently at $99,611, according to CoinGecko data, after a more than 2% fall over the past 24 hours. Bitcoin plunged below the mythical $100,000 mark on November 4 for the first time since May, and then dipped below the mark again on November 7 after a rebound.

In October, the coin set a new record price of $126,080, but broader concerns over jobs data have pointed almost relentlessly toward an economic slowdown.

Pepperstone research strategist Dilin Wu told Decrypt that the coin over the medium term could still hit new highs, but volatility over the short-term should be expected. 

"Notably, institutional participation and whale activity have diminished, and ETF outflows continue, showing that the key forces needed to drive a sustained rally are still absent," she said. 

Investors have largely pulled cash out of the U.S. Bitcoin ETFs over the past two weeks, leading to price dips as billions of dollars' worth of assets leave the funds.

Users on Myriad Markets—a prediction market run by Decrypt's parent company, Dastan—remain bullish on Bitcoin, giving the coin a 59% chance of hitting $115,000 sooner than it can fall to $85,000.

Elsewhere, the price of the second biggest digital coin, Ethereum, was down by 5%, trading hands for close to $3,265. 

Solana was down slightly about 3.5%, trading at about $148, while XRP was up by 0.5%—priced at $2.36—on news that a spot ETF giving exposure to the asset began trading Thursday.

Daily liquidations of crypto positions recently sat at $501 million, per data from CoinGlass, with Bitcoin adding about $165 million to the tally. Long positions, or bets that an asset's price would rise, account for about $380 million of the total liquidations.

Still, some remain upbeat about crypto prices, with Joe DiPasquale, CEO of crypto fund manager BitBull, telling Decrypt that the BTC would push higher following the dip.

"Bitcoin is still in an uptrend because every pullback has produced a higher low, and buyers keep defending support quickly," he said, "That steady bid is also showing up across majors coins."

‘The Worst Outcome'—Bitcoin Suddenly Drops Under $100,000 Price As Stark Fed Warning Fuels Crash Fears cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin has fallen sharply, dropping under $100,000 per bitcoin to hit its lowest level since May—and fueling fears a bitcoin price crash nightmare could be coming true.

The bitcoin price has struggled to regain momentum since hitting an all-time high in October, dropping 20% to plunge bitcoin into bear market territory (even as JPMorgan reveals a huge bitcoin bet).

Now, as traders brace for U.S. president Donald Trump to deliver a bitcoin price shock, analysts are scrambling to decode what the data blackout might mean for the coming Federal Reserve interest rate meeting.

Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is stuck in a data blindspot ahead of the December interest rate meeting, with uncertainty piling pressure on the bitcoin price.

“Today was supposed to see the delayed release of the U.S. CPI report from October, but instead it appears the government shutdown has created a black hole in the flow of federal data that may never get repaired," Nic Puckrin, crypto analyst and co-founder of The Coin Bureau, said in emailed comments.

The Fed restarted its interest rate cutting cycle in September after putting it on hold due to fears Trump’s trade tariffs could drive up inflation, delivering two consecutive interest rate cuts but leaving markets clamouring for more.

“This is the worst outcome from the point of view of policymakers—it’s tantamount to walking a tightrope with a blindfold on," Puckrin said. "So it’s no wonder we’ve seen the odds of a December rate cut fall sharply, with just over half of market participants expecting lower rates come December 10, according to the CME’s FedWatch tool.”

Yesterday, it was revealed economic reports for October may not ever be released because of the government shutdown.

“The Democrat shutdown made it extraordinarily difficult for economic economists investors and policy makers at the Federal Reserve to receive critical government data,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in comments reported by CNBC.

However, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett told Bloomberg that the delayed jobs data for last month will be partially released.

Earlier this week, Goldman Sachs analysts warned the U.S. may have seen the biggest decline in jobs since late 2020 as the Fed trawls for data ahead of its December interest rate meeting—which had been hoped to reigite the bitcoin price bull run.

“Without a clear indication of how the economy is doing, investors may jump to worst-case scenarios,” Puckrin added. "So, as the most uncertain FOMC meeting of the year looms, we could see a further flight to safety and defensive assets. Traders would do well to stay on their toes in the next few weeks, especially if they’re allocating to high-risk assets like bitcoin.”

The bitcoin price has dropped sharply, setting off panic that the bitcoin price could see a full-blown crash.

Forbes Digital Assets

Meanwhile, the bitcoin and crypto fear and greed index, a measure of market sentiment, has fallen sharply to “extreme fear" over the last week, dropping by almost 10 points over the last 24 hours alone.

“The cryptocurrency fear index has fallen to 15, its lowest level since 4 March,” Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, said in emailed comments and warning it could be an “alarming” signal of things to come.

“Notably, the cryptocurrency market has been left out of the recent rally in precious metals and stock indices. If this is not an attempt by whales to lock in profits from the rally since April or even from the growth of the last two years, then it is an alarming signal of deep-seated risk aversion that is about to manifest itself in larger markets.”

Bitcoin whales accumulate 45K BTC as long-term holders dump 815K cryptonews
BTC
Journalist

Posted: November 13, 2025

Key Takeaways
How much Bitcoin have whales accumulated recently?
Whales added 45,000 BTC in the past week, marking the second-largest weekly accumulation of 2025.

What does price action suggest about the battle between bulls and bears?
The MACD shows bearish momentum with negative readings of -321.31, suggesting continued near-term pressure as distribution overwhelms accumulation.

A massive wealth transfer is unfolding in Bitcoin markets. 

While long-term holders dump coins at the highest rate in nearly a year, whales are aggressively scooping up supply at six-figure prices—setting the stage for a classic bull market divergence between weak hands and institutional conviction.

Bitcoin LTH offloading
CryptoQuant data reveals that long-term holders have sold 815,000 BTC over the past 30 days, marking the most significant distribution since January 2024.

The selling spans all holder cohorts, from diamond hands holding 7+ years to more recent positions of 6-18 months. 

Source: CryptoQuant

This massive profit-taking came as Bitcoin pushed above $100,000, triggering sell orders that accumulated during years of consolidation and recovery from the 2022 bear market.

The chart shows stacked areas in purple, orange, pink, and blue, representing different holder cohorts that contribute to the distribution wave. 

As demand contracts, as indicated by the gray trendline, this selling pressure weighs heavily on short-term price action.

Whales step in
Post-election data from CryptoRank paints a contrasting picture of smart money positioning. 

Whale wallets holding 1,000+ BTC accumulated 45,000 coins in the past week alone—the second-largest buying spree of 2025, surpassed only by March’s panic-buying during the tariff tantrum selloff.

Source: CryptoRank

Their total holdings surged from 1.52 million BTC in early 2025 to 1.76 million currently, steadily absorbing the retail panic selling that drove retail holdings down from 16.7 million to 16.68 million. 

The divergence is stark: while retail investors capitulate near local highs, institutional players quietly build positions.

This pattern mirrors March’s behavior, when whales initiated 2025’s largest accumulation wave during sharp price declines.

Smart money consistently buys fear while retail sells into strength—a behavioral dynamic that defines every Bitcoin cycle.

Bitcoin price tests critical support
Bitcoin currently trades at $100,282, testing the psychological $100,000 floor. The daily chart shows price retreating from the $125,000 local high reached in October, with momentum indicators flashing warning signs.

The MACD histogram displays deeply negative territory at -321.31, with the signal line at -2,704.04 suggesting sustained bearish pressure.

Both MACD lines trend downward, indicating sellers maintain control despite whale accumulation.

Source: TradingView

The $100,000 level represents the crucial battleground. A sustained break below would open the path to $97,500, where previous consolidation occurred. 

However, if whales continue absorbing supply at current prices, their conviction could establish a launching pad for the next rally phase.

With retail capitulating and institutional players accumulating, Bitcoin’s market structure increasingly favors long-term bulls willing to stomach short-term volatility.

In its earnings report, the company said it holds 733 million Dogecoin.
CleanCore’s shares dropped about 7% to $0.43, their lowest point all year.
Dogecoin treasury CleanCore Solutions has managed to keep growing its holdings of DOGE, and yet its stock has slid to its lowest level all year.

In its fiscal first-quarter earnings report, for the period ending on Sept. 30, CleanCore reiterated its long-term objective of acquiring 5% of Dogecoin's circulating supply. CleanCore said revenue for the quarter was up to $900,000 versus $400,000 during the same period a year ago.

Despite the minor revenue growth, the company posted a net loss for the quarter of $13.4 million. "Our financial results during the quarter reflect several one-time expenses related to our treasury strategy transaction," CEO Clayton Adams said.

CleanCore's shares dropped 7% on Thursday to $0.43, the stock's lowest point of 2025, according to Yahoo Finance. At one point in late August, before the transition to a DOGE treasury, the company's shares were changing hands at about $7 per share. CleanCore and the House of Doge announced their partnership in September.

Last month, CleanCore said it held 710 million Dogecoin, worth about $188 million at the time. At about $0.16 on Thursday, DOGE is down over 25% in the past three months, leading to CleanCore's DOGE holdings being valued at nearly $123 million.

CleanCore also said it had closed its $175 million private placement meant to fund its "formation of the official Dogecoin treasury strategy in partnership with House of Doge."

XRP price prediction has taken center stage this week after the first U.S. Spot XRP ETF officially went live, opening for trade under Canary Capital’s XRPC ticker and drawing strong early demand from investors.

According to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the fund recorded $26 million in trading volume within its first 30 minutes, marking one of the most active ETF debuts of the year.

Balchunas said the XRPC “has a good shot at beating $BSOL’s $57 million as the biggest Day One volume of any ETF launched this year,” hinting at the growing appetite for regulated exposure to XRP among institutional traders.

XRPC ETF Brings Institutional Access to XRP LedgerIn a November 13 post, Canary Capital described the XRPC as a product designed to provide exposure to XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, reflecting the network’s performance across payment and liquidity protocols.

Following the announcement, XRP jumped 3% to reach $2.40, with daily trading volume climbing to $6.24 billion, a 34% increase since the ETF opened for trade.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan applauded the launch, calling it a bold step for crypto ETFs and a sign of how sentiment is evolving.

“The median opinion of a crypto asset does not determine an ETF’s success,” he said. “You’d rather have 20% of people love an asset than 80% of people kinda vaguely like it.”

His comment explains XRP’s polarized reputation, often criticized by segments of the crypto community yet consistently supported by a loyal base of investors and developers.

Meanwhile, CryptoQuant data shows that large investors and whales were already positioning ahead of the ETF announcement.

“Before the XRP Spot ETF news, futures data showed a clear rise in whale-sized orders while prices were still compressed,” analysts at the firm observed.

Source: CryptoQuantThis “whales-first, retail-last” pattern is a familiar sight in crypto markets and often signals a shift toward more aggressive price action.

“Once retail enters late, the market typically becomes more volatile and sentiment-driven,” CryptoQuant noted.

XRP Price Prediction: Elliott Wave Setup Points to $5 BreakoutMultiple market analysts now predict XRP could finish 2025 above $3.50, with potential to reach $5 by 2026 if institutional inflows sustain momentum.

The XRP/USD chart displays an Elliott Wave analysis projecting a dramatic bullish scenario.

The chart shows that XRP has completed a five-wave impulse structure from 2013 to 2018 (Wave 1), followed by a prolonged corrective Wave 2 that bottomed around 2023.

The analysis indicates XRP is now in the early stages of Wave 3, historically the most powerful impulse wave.

Source: X/BtcbaloThe projection shows a potential rally toward the $5-6 range, representing over 150% gain from current levels around $2.40

Key Fibonacci extension levels are marked, with the 0.786 extension around $2.20 (already achieved) and the 1.00 extension near $3.5 serving as the next target before the 1.618 extension near $5.5

Maxi Doge (MAXI) Draws $4M as Investors Hunt High-Yield Meme PlaysAs institutional money floods into ETFs, retail traders are turning to presale projects that offer better entry points and strong staking incentives.

One standout is Maxi Doge (MAXI), a meme coin with muscle that’s already raised over $4 million in its ongoing presale.

Unlike typical dog-themed tokens, Maxi Doge pairs meme culture with real staking utility.

The presale runs in staged rounds, with the current price at $0.000268 and small increments between stages, giving early buyers a clear advantage ahead of its DEX listing.

Investors can buy $MAXI using ETH, BNB, USDT, USDC, or a bank card, with no minimum investment, and can stake it immediately for an estimated 78% annual yield.

Czechia Buys $1 Million In Bitcoin –– But It's Not Building a Reserve cryptonews
BTC
Czechia buys Bitcoin through a $1 million CNB pilot portfolio built outside official reserves to gain practical digital-asset insight.The fixed-size portfolio tests private-key management, multi-level approvals, crisis drills, security reviews, and AML compliance.The move signals growing EU interest in crypto as CNB subtly challenges ECB skepticism while avoiding reserve-policy conflict.The Czech National Bank (CNB) has entered the digital asset market for the first time on Thursday, allocating $1 million to build a blockchain-based pilot portfolio. This acquisition was conducted separately from the bank’s official international reserves.

The CNB emphasized that it has no intention of adding Bitcoin or other digital assets to its official international reserves. Instead, it made this move to prepare for a future in which digital currencies are more widely used.

Czechia Launches Pilot Crypto PortfolioAlong with its Bitcoin exposure, the CNB’s pilot portfolio will also hold a USD-denominated stablecoin and a tokenized deposit recorded on the blockchain. 

The bank noted that the size of this portfolio will remain fixed. Its goal is to gain hands-on experience managing digital assets.

The CNB will examine how to manage private keys and set up multi-level approvals. It will also conduct crisis simulations, review security procedures, and verify compliance with AML regulations.

The board approved the purchase last month after reviewing an analysis exploring potential investments outside traditional asset classes. That report concluded that digital assets are developing rapidly and are likely to see broader adoption over time. 

“The aim was to test decentralised bitcoin from the central bank’s perspective and to evaluate its potential role in diversifying our reserves,” said CNB Governor Aleš Michl in a press release.

Although the move may seem small in scale, it carries wider significance.

CNB Pushes Forward Despite ECB PushbackCentral banks rarely buy digital assets directly, and the CNB’s decision signals a shift toward hands-on understanding rather than theoretical observation. The pilot does not signal a change in reserve strategy, but it does show that the bank wants to build internal expertise before digital assets become mainstream in payments.

The CNB’s decision comes shortly after Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund disclosed that it had allocated one percent of its portfolio to Bitcoin-based securities. That move made Luxembourg the first European country to take such a step. 

The CNB’s announcement now shows that Luxembourg wasn’t the only member state exploring direct exposure to digital assets.

Czechia’s decision came as something of a surprise. In January, the CNB announced that it was considering adding Bitcoin as a reserve asset. Just one day later, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde dismissed the idea, stating firmly that Bitcoin had no place in the European central banking system.

The CNB’s announcement today marks a subtle pushback against the ECB’s stance on crypto.

The board has found a way to pursue its interest in Bitcoin without straining its relationship with Lagarde. By keeping the asset outside its official reserves, it can experiment without challenging ECB policy.

Solana ETFs Record Consecutive Inflows as Demand Surges to $400M cryptonews
SOL
TL;DR:

Solana ETFs have attracted over $400M in total inflows, extending a multi-week streak.
Institutional investors see SOL as a leading alternative to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Growing utility, scalability, and stable demand reinforce Solana’s long-term appeal.

Institutional investors are doubling down on Solana as the network’s ETFs continue to attract strong inflows for the second consecutive week. Over $400 million has now poured into Solana-linked products, underscoring its growing appeal among asset managers and traders seeking diversified exposure beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Institutional Momentum Boosts Solana’s Market Presence
The recent surge in ETF inflows has positioned Solana as one of the fastest-rising digital assets among institutional investors. This trend reflects confidence in the blockchain’s expanding ecosystem and performance efficiency, which continues to rival leading layer-1 networks. Analysts note that the steady demand signals a maturing market phase, where traditional finance increasingly embraces alternative crypto assets with strong fundamentals.

Solana’s total ETF inflows have exceeded $380 million this quarter, putting it firmly behind only Bitcoin in global fund interest. This consistency contrasts with outflows seen in other altcoin-based products, suggesting investors view SOL as a high-conviction long-term play. As the crypto market recovers from months of volatility, Solana’s sustained capital inflow demonstrates both resilience and renewed optimism for its ecosystem.

Institutional demand has been fueled by Solana’s growing real-world utility, including decentralized finance applications, non-fungible tokens, and increasing integration with payment platforms. The network’s scalability and low transaction fees continue to attract developers and investors alike, creating a virtuous cycle of adoption and liquidity. With major fund managers now actively tracking Solana’s on-chain metrics, its position in institutional portfolios is becoming increasingly strategic.

Market analysts caution that while the momentum appears sustainable, future inflows will depend on macroeconomic stability and regulatory clarity. Nonetheless, the steady rise in ETF demand reaffirms Solana’s status as a credible and expanding force in the crypto investment landscape. For many, the recent streak of inflows signals a pivotal shift — one where institutional capital is not just experimenting with blockchain, but actively betting on its next frontier.

Tether aids authorities in the arrest of 73 suspects linked to crypto crimes cryptonews
USDT
Tether has helped local Thai police and U.S. authorities recover $12 million in USDT. The funds are linked to a transnational scam operating across Southeast Asia.

Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer in the cryptocurrency industry, announced that it had participated in a recovery process with authorities, which resulted in the seizure and recovery of $12 million worth of USDT. 

The company stated that it was part of a joint operation between the Royal Thai Police and the United States Secret Service, which traced the funds to a transnational scam operating across Southeast Asia.

— Tether (@Tether_to) November 13, 2025

The announcement noted that Thailand’s Technology Crime Suppression Division (TCSD), under the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES), spearheaded the recovery process as part of a broader initiative to combat money laundering, online fraud, and cryptocurrency scams.

The stablecoin giant highlighted that the authorities involved in the investigations arrested 73 suspects, including 22 foreign nationals and 51 Thai natives, seizing crypto assets worth more than 522 million baht. 

Tether’s CEO, Paolo Ardoino, commented on the joint efforts, stating that the crypto company is committed to supporting authorities and law enforcement on a global scale to freeze illicit assets, protect victims, and ensure that the transparency of USDT serves the global commerce.

“This operation highlights how blockchain transparency can empower law enforcement to act quickly and effectively against criminal activity…”

–Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether

Tether also emphasized that it had actively engaged with law enforcement worldwide to facilitate investigations that ended in multiple seizures of illegal proceeds in various jurisdictions. The company highlighted that the U.S. The Department of Justice (DOJ) acknowledged the company’s contributions and efforts in a major enforcement operation that resulted in the recovery of approximately $225 million in USDT in June. 

The company also noted that it assisted U.S. authorities, including those from the U.S. Secret Service, in freezing $23 million in illicit funds linked to transactions on the Russian-sanctioned exchange Garantex. Tether also stated that it assisted the authorities in freezing an additional $9 million linked to the Bybit hack.

According to Tether’s official news report, the company has blocked more than 3,660 wallets in joint efforts with law enforcement, with 2,100 cases involving collaborations with U.S. agencies. Tether added that its participation in the Royal Thai Police operations contributes to its ongoing objectives of assisting international law enforcement agencies in combating financial crimes involving various crypto assets, such as stablecoins. 

Tether stated that it had collaborated with 290 law enforcement agencies across 59 different jurisdictions and had frozen more than $3 billion in cryptocurrency assets believed to originate from illicit activities. 

Thai doubles down on crypto scam crackdown
The Thai government also acknowledged it had carried out a crackdown in line with its national agenda on crypto scams, fraud, and money laundering.

Thailand’s Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced the results of the cybercrime suppression operation during a press conference held on November 10, themed “United Thailand Against Scammers.” The government official stated that local police had seized digital assets from foreigners worth 14 million baht (approximately $ 432,000) and that the victims had been reimbursed. 

The Prime Minister also said the authorities had apprehended the network of former Cambodian Senator Ly Yong Phat for their alleged involvement in laundering money linked to online scams. The news reported that the operation resulted in the recovery of 400 million baht (approximately $ 12 million U.S. dollars).

Charnvirakul emphasized the importance of ensuring public safety by keeping members informed and educating them with the proper knowledge to protect themselves from cyber-related crimes.

The news follows Cryptopolitan’s report on November 13, which stated U.S. authorities, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the FBI, and the Secret Service, have established a new interagency enforcement task force to counter crypto-related scams and investment schemes perpetrated by Chinese transnational criminal organizations targeting unsuspecting U.S. citizens. 

U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro revealed that Americans lose over $9 billion, with the actual figure estimated to be higher due to underreporting. Pirro explained that the scams are socially engineered using online platforms, text messages, and social media. The attorney mentioned that the scammers solicit victims by encouraging them to invest in “legitimate” crypto projects that turn out to be fraudulent.

Interview | Crypto exchanges must evolve beyond trading: Bitget CMO cryptonews
BGB
Crypto isn’t just complicated—it’s a communication challenge. With wallets, DeFi, tokenized assets, and endless trading options, users can easily get lost in the noise. Enter Aguirre Franco, Bitget’s new Chief Marketing Officer.

Summary

Selling crypto is challenging due to its complexity
Marketers need to focus on user experience, pain points, and expectations
The future is in universal exchanges, spanning both crypto and traditional finance

Franco is tackling the problem head-on. In this Q&A, Franco breaks down how exchanges can speak to real users, the rise of “universal” platforms bridging crypto and traditional finance, and why AI-driven tools like Bitget’s GetAgent are redefining what it means to trade—and learn—crypto today.

Crypto.news: Now that you’ve had some time to assess Bitget, how does the exchange approach marketing to potential users, especially those new to crypto?

Aguirre Franco: If you look back two years, there was this sharp divide between centralized and decentralized exchanges. They were like two completely separate camps, with almost no interaction. But that’s changing.

Today, we’re moving toward what we call the universal exchange model. Instead of treating centralized and decentralized systems as competitors, we’re treating them as complementary. Each one offers something valuable.

That’s what attracted me to Bitget. I’ve always appreciated the openness and transparency of DeFi—permissionless access, peer-to-peer trading, etc.—but there are real challenges, too. UX is often poor. Liquidity can be fragmented. And there’s a security layer that centralized systems can offer, which many users still want.

So when we talk about Bitget evolving into a universal exchange, we’re not just throwing around a buzzword. It’s about building a gateway—a single access point—for financial tools that people around the world can actually use.

CN: How do you approach different users, especially those in emerging markets?

Franco: I was born in Mexico City, and I’ve lived in both emerging and developed markets. The contrast is stark. In Europe, you have first-class access to banking and financial products. In many emerging markets, that’s not the case. For a lot of people in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and elsewhere, their first debit card won’t come from a bank—it’ll come from a crypto exchange. Why? Because it’s more accessible.

What Bitget is building is a hybrid platform that lets you access everything: crypto, tokenized stocks, payment rails, DeFi liquidity pools, and even TradFi instruments. One product, multiple layers of financial access.

You get the security and compliance of a centralized platform, combined with the flexibility and variety of assets of decentralized systems. On top of that, we’ve developed something we’re proud of—our AI engine, GetAgent.

CN: What does this AI assistant do?

Franco: GetAgent is an AI assistant built into the platform. But this isn’t Siri. It’s data-driven, trading-focused, and designed to help users—from first-timers to pros—understand the market better.

For someone new to crypto, GetAgent is a game-changer. You can ask it things like, “Is this a good time to buy Bitcoin?” and it won’t just give you a vague answer—it’ll provide technical indicators, market trends, RSI, recent price movements, and sentiment. And if you’re ready, you can say, “Buy $50 of Bitcoin,” and it will guide you through it, all in one flow.

And of course, there are confirmations—you’re always in control. But it goes beyond basic transactions. You can ask things like, “How balanced is my portfolio?” or “What optimizations can I make?” It’s there to help users learn, not just trade.

And it works on both ends of the spectrum. If you’re brand new, it’s educational. If you’re a pro trader, it’s a tool for validation. You can say, “I’m planning this trade—what do the metrics say?” and it’ll surface relevant data in real time.

CN: Crypto exchanges have become a somewhat crowded space. How do you communicate in a way that you stand out from the rest?

Franco: The key is recognizing that exchanges can’t just be trading venues anymore. That era’s done. We’re not here just to list coins and offer trading pairs—we’re building a platform for the broader digital economy.

So yes, we have GetAgent, and we support on-chain access with over two million tokens. We’ve also introduced perpetual contracts for stocks—allowing users to trade tokenized stocks 24/5 using USDT or other stablecoins. It’s fast, efficient, and accessible. That’s a huge differentiator.

But it’s more than features. We’re trying to build a safe, intuitive, and all-in-one financial experience. For example, we have 1.8x proof of reserves and an $800 million protection fund. We’ve also got a 70-person compliance team working closely with regulators to build scalable, future-proof frameworks.

That blend, compliance, innovation, and accessibility is what we believe sets us apart.

CN: You’ve worked across multiple industries—tech, entertainment, hardware. What’s uniquely challenging about marketing in crypto?

Franco: Crypto is complex, and complexity makes storytelling harder. If you’re selling consumer goods, the value is clear. In crypto, you’re often dealing with abstract products—blockchains, tokens, wallets, protocols—and trying to make that relatable to people who may not even be financially literate, let alone tech-savvy.

That’s where my background helps. I’ve sold hard drives and Hollywood movies, and the biggest lesson I’ve learned is: you always need a human connection.

Take Steve Jobs, one of my heroes. He didn’t sell specs, he sold “1,000 songs in your pocket.” That’s what crypto marketing needs: clarity and emotional relevance. Telling someone they can “access permissionless liquidity” isn’t enough. You have to show how that changes their daily life.

So for Bitget, it’s not about listing all the product features. It’s about saying: you can manage your money better, with less friction, from anywhere. That’s what makes people care.

CN: So how do you speak to new users—people who might be skeptical about crypto but have a real use case, like remittances or savings?

Franco: You start with the problem, not the tech. For example, I have two kids. I work long hours and travel a lot. I don’t have time to check price charts every hour. And honestly, I don’t want to.

That’s why features like copy trading matter. You can follow a professional trader and automatically mirror their moves. Or set up trading bots to automate strategies—like, “If this token hits this price, sell X amount.” That way, I don’t miss out, and I don’t sacrifice time with my family.

You don’t market features. You market outcomes. No one cares about what the platform can technically do. They care that they don’t have to stress, they don’t have to learn everything immediately, and they can still participate in opportunities.

We’re building Bitget to reflect that reality—less friction, more intelligence, and tools that adapt to real life.

CN: You mentioned bringing TradFi products into what started as a crypto platform. But now we’re also seeing fintech and TradFi firms moving into crypto. How do you view that competition?

Franco: It’s inevitable. Fintechs and banks are coming into the space, but they’re building on legacy infrastructure. They’re trying to adapt. We were born in crypto—we’re native—and that gives us an advantage.

We’re not trying to retrofit blockchain into old systems. We’re building for what’s next. For example, we offer US stock perpetuals using USDT. That’s faster and cheaper than traditional rails. It’s built for efficiency.

Legacy firms have brand recognition and trust, but that comes with institutional inertia. We have speed, flexibility, and focus. And we’re not just adding crypto—we’re integrating it with tokenized assets, DeFi access, AI tools, and a full financial stack. That’s the edge.

Competition’s always going to be there. What matters is how you differentiate—and in our case, it’s innovation, compliance, and liquidity. That’s the triangle. Liquidity gives you efficiency. Compliance gives you longevity. And innovation is what keeps you relevant. But innovation can’t exist alone—it needs the other two to be sustainable.

CN: Anything else you think gets overlooked in the media?

Franco: Maybe just that this space still needs to stay human. There’s AI, there’s tokenization, there’s tech flying everywhere—but if you forget who you’re building for, it doesn’t matter.

At the end of the day, marketing crypto is about trust, access, and relevance. We’re not just trying to be another exchange—we’re building something people can rely on, whether they’re in Berlin, Bogotá, or Bangkok.

BNY Debuts Stablecoin-Focused Money Market Fund cryptonews

November 13, 2025

 | 

BNY has introduced a money market fund aimed at bolstering stablecoin adoption.

The bank’s Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund, announced Thursday (Nov. 13), was designed to promote digital asset adoption in the liquidity space.

According to a BNY news release, the fund is designed to hold the reserves for stablecoins to be issued under the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins (GENIUS) Act, but does not invest in stablecoins.

The release noted the stablecoin market’s potential for growth in the wake of the GENIUS Act, which provides a regulatory framework for US stablecoin issuers, pointing to analysis suggesting that the market for the digital currencies could reach $1.5 trillion by 2030.

“Cash is the cornerstone of the digital asset ecosystem, enabling global capital markets to move toward an always-on, 24/7 environment,” said Stephanie Pierce, deputy head of BNY Investments. “Stablecoins are at the forefront of this profound transformation, and we are proud to provide our liquidity leadership and expertise to stablecoin issuers with the launch of the BNY Dreyfus Stablecoin Reserves Fund.”

As part of the launch, the fund has secured an investment from Anchorage Digital, a cryptocurrency platform that is the first federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S.

“Anchorage Digital is proud to provide the initial investment for this important initiative,” stated Nathan McCauley, Anchorage’s co-founder and CEO. “BNY’s leadership in liquidity and the GENIUS Act framework together mark a new chapter for stablecoin infrastructure in the U.S…we see efforts like this as essential to bridging the trust, transparency, and regulatory rigor that will define the next era of digital finance.”

BNY’s fund is the latest example of the increasing role stablecoins — a type of cryptocurrency pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar — play in the world of banking. As covered here last month, banks and payment networks are increasingly weaving the coins into settlement rails trusted by treasurers and corporations.

“Traditional cross-border payments are cumbersome,” PYMNTS wrote. “A payment may travel through multiple correspondent banks, each charging fees, performing compliance holds and holding prefunded balances in various jurisdictions. This leads to multiday settlement, foreign exchange slippage, float costs, limited transparency and reconciliation burden.”

Stablecoins on blockchain rails work to ease these frictions directly. Because they are typically pegged to fiat currencies, volatility is minimized, which means settlement “can become atomic and near instant,” the report added.

BTC Steadies Over $100K: Sign of Maturity While ‘Moonvember' Buzz Builds cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin's muted volatility hints at institutional balance, not weakness, according to experts.

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly jumped to $104,000 on Thursday after a dip back below $101,000 mid-week. The recovery comes as the broader market continues to absorb the lingering bearish sentiment from October, which has spilled over into November. The market remains in a consolidation phase, as a result of low volatility and cautious investor activity.

However, analysts suggest that this sideways movement reflects a period of structural adjustment rather than renewed weakness, as traders await stronger catalysts to confirm the next directional move.

Structural Maturity, Not Weakness
Crypto analyst Axel Adler Jr believes Bitcoin’s current phase signals structural maturity rather than weakness. He noted that the decline in the Average Directional Index (ADX) peak values, all the way from 78% to 32%, does not indicate market capitulation but is a pivot from speculative trading to a more institutionally driven model.

In the era of Bitcoin ETFs, Adler explained, the traditional four-year cycle is losing its dominance as impulsive rallies give way to longer consolidation phases and steadier price action.

With Bitcoin currently hovering between $100,000 and $110,000, the analyst highlighted that the ADX balance (+DI/−DI) reflects a market awaiting an internal catalyst, alongside weakening selling pressure from long-term holders and rising volatility in futures markets.

‘Moonvember’ Buzz
Echoing a similar take, Ignacio Aguirre, Chief Marketing Officer at Bitget, expressed optimism about the growing “Moonvember” sentiment surrounding Bitcoin. In a statement to CryptoPotato, Aguirre described BTC’s current sideways movement as a healthy consolidation following recent volatility.

He highlighted that November has historically been one of the strongest months for the crypto market and that upcoming Federal Reserve rate cuts could play a crucial role in boosting liquidity and reigniting investor confidence. Aguirre added that improved liquidity conditions are likely to enhance risk appetite across digital assets, potentially setting the stage for a significant breakout.

“We’re optimistic about the growing ‘Moonvember’ buzz. Combined with the seasonality tailwind and growing institutional appetite, this backdrop sets the stage for a meaningful breakout that could fuel broader innovation in blockchain and digital assets. Key catalysts remain clearer regulatory frameworks, substantial institutional inflows via ETFs, and global macro shifts such as sustained lower interest rates, each of which would support long-term ecosystem expansion and mainstream adoption.”

Beyond market sentiment and institutional flows, Bitcoin’s underlying network fundamentals also show no immediate signs of miner stress. Alphractal founder Joao Wedson recently said that Bitcoin’s “Hash Rate Momentum Score” remains positive with an upward-trending 90-day moving average. Wedson noted this indicates improving network security and steady confidence among miners despite recent market fluctuations.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin says decentralized finance (DeFi) has reached a turning point, one where on-chain savings are not only viable but beginning to rival traditional banks.

Speaking in a pre-recorded address at a Dromos Labs event on Wednesday, Buterin said he’s “encouraged” by how far DeFi on Ethereum has come in terms of security, maturity, and usability.

“We’ll be seeing, I think, a growth in more and more cases of people, institutions, and all kinds of users around the world actually using this as their primary bank account,” he said. “DeFi as a form of savings is finally viable.”

Can DeFi Become Your Next Bank Account? Vitalik Buterin Believes It’s TimeButerin’s remarks reflect a broader evolution in the sector that he believes is shifting from speculation toward stability.

Ethereum-based DeFi was previously associated with high-risk lending, complex yield strategies, and frequent protocol exploits. But Buterin said the difference between 2025 and the early DeFi era of 2020 or 2019 is “night and day.”

Despite acknowledging recent breaches, including the multi-million-dollar Balancer hack earlier this month, he said smart contract security has improved substantially.

Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic noted that while crypto losses in 2025 technically “dwarf” last year’s, much of that figure stems from the historic Bybit hack in February, rather than DeFi’s structural weaknesses.

Buterin emphasized the “walkaway test,” a simple measure of DeFi safety ensuring users can always recover their funds independently.

He urged developers to keep Ethereum’s founding principles at the core: open-source code, interoperability, and censorship resistance.

He also called on builders to design applications with both the Ethereum mainnet and Layer 2 networks in mind. With new tools such as Lighter, which has reached over 10,000 transactions per second, Buterin said scalability is improving on both L1 and L2.

“With the right kind of engineering, that level of scaling is open to anyone to build today,” he added.

Ethereum’s DeFi ecosystem now processes over $1.9 trillion in transactions per quarter, with a $77 billion market and over 312 million active users as of mid-2025.

Source: DefiLlama Average DeFi savings yields hover around 8.2%, compared with roughly 2.1% in traditional banking.

Although operational costs in DeFi remain lower, the sector still faces ongoing risks, including $1.1 billion in fraud and hacks reported in the first half of 2025.

By contrast, global banks manage about $370 trillion in assets and process $405 trillion per quarter, but their slow settlement times and higher fees make DeFi’s permissionless structure increasingly attractive to users seeking autonomy and speed.

Ethereum Goes Back to Basics with Buterin’s ‘Trustless Manifesto’Buterin’s optimism follows his September essay promoting “low-risk DeFi” as Ethereum’s sustainable economic backbone, a form of decentralized banking that could support the network much like Google Search funds Google’s ecosystem.

He argued that stablecoin lending and flatcoins pegged to inflation indices or currency baskets could stabilize Ethereum’s economy while preserving its values.

Buterin wrote that blue-chip DeFi protocols like Aave, offering around 5% stablecoin yields, provide the low-risk finance Ethereum needs.

Earlier today, Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation published “The Trustless Manifesto,” warning developers against compromising decentralization for convenience.

1/ Today, The Account Abstraction Team & @VitalikButerin are publishing something we’ve talked about for years but never wrote down clearly enough:

The Trustless Manifesto.

And we’re putting it where it belongs: onchain.

trustlessmanifesto.eth → https://t.co/VtabFPp5Eo

— Ethereum Foundation (@ethereumfndn) November 13, 2025
The document criticized trends like centralized sequencers in Layer 2s and hosted RPC nodes, arguing that “decentralization is not destroyed by capture, but by convenience.”

It proposed three “laws” for trustless design: no critical secrets, no irreplaceable intermediaries, and no unverifiable results.

Meanwhile, Ethereum continues to strengthen its technical and institutional foundations. The network hosts over 75% of tokenized real-world assets and 58% of the global supply, with firms like BlackRock, Securitize, and Ondo Finance deploying tokenized Treasury products on-chain.

Source: DefiLlamaIts Layer 2 networks now secure more than $50 billion in value, while privacy and scaling work has accelerated through the Ethereum Foundation’s new 47-member Privacy Cluster.

Blockchain analytics platform CryptoQuant has pointed out that whales were active before the launch of spot XRP Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs). The firm made this statement following Nasdaq’s move to list Canary Capital’s ETF that will track the price of XRP.

Canary Capital XRP ETF Defies US Government Shutdown
On Nov. 12, Nasdaq noted that it certified the Canary XRP ETF, which can now be traded publicly.

This detail was spelled out in a filing sent to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Nov. 12. The plan is to list the fund on the Nasdaq platform by Nov. 13 under the ticker symbol XRPC.

Ordinarily, approvals are not expected at this time since agencies are not required to be in full operation. However, the crypto market saw a few ETFs get greenlighted irrespective of the shutdown.

Canary Capital filed to list this spot XRP ETF as far back as October 2024, but did not get a response from the US SEC. At the time, it noted that the fund will track XRP

price using the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) CF Ripple index.

The asset manager asserted that the fund would avoid using derivative products for tracking the value of XRP.

This is in addition to being subject to “additional counterparty and credit risks.” Meanwhile, this Canary Capital XRP ETF was one of the five that appeared on DTCC earlier this week. The other four were from Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, and CoinShares

Retail Traders’ Influence on XRP ETF Market
CryptoQuant highlighted that an influx of whales in the XRP market was observed just before the announcement of Canary’s XRPC launch.

This hinted at possible early positioning while the price was still compressed. The analytics platform went further to say this situation didn’t matter as much as retail traders are active in the market after the XRP ETF was announced.

“Once retail enters late, the market typically becomes more volatile and less predictable, as sentiment starts mixing with earlier informed flows. The ETF news accelerated this transition by drawing in traders who were not present during the buildup,” CryptoQuant explained.

The Canary XRPC is likely to frontrun the XRP price rebound from the current level at $2.46.

Are Digital Asset Treasury Stocks Oversold Amid Bitcoin's Slump? cryptonews
BTC
In brief
DAT stocks have crashed 50-90% from their peaks, compressing their valuations below their crypto holdings' value.
Experts see a divide, with Bitcoin-focused treasuries potentially oversold while multi-asset DATs face greater risk.
A recovery is tied to a Bitcoin rebound, hinging on key macro catalysts like softer inflation and Fed rate cuts.
Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) stocks are facing a severe test, with some plunging more than 50% from their 2025 peaks and now trading near the value of their underlying crypto holdings.

The dramatic sell-off poses a critical question for investors: is this a justified collapse or a severe overreaction creating a potential opportunity?

Data reveal a stark picture. While Bitcoin is down roughly 20% from its 2025 all-time high, per CoinGecko data, DAT stocks have fallen more swiftly.

Strategy’s stock is down 50% from its July peak, while Metaplanet and SharpLink have plummeted nearly 80% and 90%, respectively. As a result, their market valuations have compressed, pushing market-net-asset-value or mNAV close to or below 1, according to StrategyTracker.

Typically, when mNAV falls below or approaches one, it makes it harder for companies to raise cash by offering up their stocks, experts previously told Decrypt.

“When DAT stocks trade below the value of their crypto holdings, it means the market is no longer rewarding them for outsized accumulation in the same way it once did,” Yaroslav Patsira, Fractional Director at CEX.IO, told Decrypt. “This doesn't make them dead, but they are under real pressure, as trading below their holdings could force them to sell some of their holdings to cover costs.”

This new context helps differentiate between the various DATs.

"For the stronger Bitcoin names, this looks more oversold than finished," Fakhul Miah, Managing Director of Gomining Institutional, told Decrypt. He explained that "Bitcoin-focused treasuries with cleaner balance sheets are holding up better than multi-asset DATs, many of which chase higher-risk tokens."

Are DATs dead? A longer-term view, however, reveals a more nuanced story.

Despite the recent selloff, Galaxy Digital's year-to-date performance remains up a staggering 73.4%, and SharpLink is up 43.2%, vastly outperforming Bitcoin’s 8.6% gain—suggesting that the recent slump could be a sharp correction within a longer-term bullish trend, not its end.

The divergence highlights the high-risk, high-reward nature of these stocks, especially considering that DATs are high-beta proxies for crypto exposure.

"This cycle will likely be more selective with investors rewarding disciplined Bitcoin treasuries with transparent issuance, while multi-asset treasuries with fragmented exposure may lag, even if the market turns risk-on," Miah added.

“When digital assets underperform, DATs fall harder. That's expected,” Patsira noted.

The key differentiator may be scale and strategy.

Strategy, with its 641,692 BTC stack and proven track record of not selling, represents a pure, long-term Bitcoin proxy. Its current -25% YTD performance, while negative, is less severe than its peers', especially given that the company is sitting on over $18 billion in unrealized gains. On prediction market Myriad, launched by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, users place a less than 7% chance on the firm selling any of its BTC by the end of the year.

Despite the criticism, the critical factor for a recovery of DAT stocks hinges on a Bitcoin rebound.

Miah emphasized that "the return of delayed U.S. data after the shutdown is key," noting that "if inflation comes in softer and the Fed leans more clearly toward cuts in December, that would ease the pressure on crypto."

“DATs will likely follow suit if Bitcoin reestablishes bullish momentum,” Patsira said, echoing Miah’s outlook and noting that potential hints of a December rate cut from the Fed, coupled with updated U.S. labor market and inflation data, could be catalysts for a Bitcoin recovery.

Investor sentiment has improved today due to the end of the U.S. government’s 43-day shutdown, with Myriad users assigning a 61% chance of Bitcoin hitting $115,000, up from 53.4% today.

HBAR Drops 3.5% Breaking Support as ETF Inflows Hit $68 Million cryptonews
HBAR
Hedera's native token retreats from $0.1817 to $0.1754 despite institutional accumulation.Updated Nov 13, 2025, 4:49 p.m. Published Nov 13, 2025, 4:49 p.m.

HBAR retreated 3.5% from $0.1817 to $0.1754 during Wednesday's session, breaking key support despite institutional flows reaching $68 million through ETF channels.

The token faced rejection at $0.1805 resistance following a morning spike that peaked at $0.1802 on significant volume—79% above daily averages.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

Volume dried up following the initial morning surge, suggesting institutional buyers stepped back while retail participants drove the late-session weakness. The 4.5% intraday range reflects heightened volatility despite muted cryptocurrency market conditions.

HBAR's price weakness contrasts sharply with institutional positioning through the Canary HBAR ETF, which accumulated $68 million over six trading sessions. Thirteen total ETF filings now include HBAR exposure, signaling growing institutional appetite for Hedera ecosystem exposure.

Bitcoin Derivatives Might Not Fully Recover From October Crash Until Q2 cryptonews
BTC
In brief
The October 10 crash wiped out $19 billion in open interest.
Bitcoin open interest in futures, options, and perpetual contracts now sits around $140 billion.
Derivatives volumes spiked to $748 billion the day of the big wipeout.
It could take two quarters for Bitcoin derivatives activity to recover from the Oct. 10 flash crash that wiped out $19 billion in open interest, Max Xu, Bybit’s derivatives operations director, told Decrypt. 

“While I don’t expect a rapid rebound, the medium-term outlook remains constructive,” he said of the correction that ranks among the largest ever for Bitcoin derivatives. “If macro conditions turn more favorable—for example, rate-cut expectations materialize and market sentiment improves—open interest could gradually return to pre-shock levels by Q1 or Q2 2026.”

At the time of writing, Bitcoin was changing hands at $100,800 after having dropped 0.8% in the past day. The world’s first and largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is now 10.5% lower than it was a month ago, according to crypto price aggregator CoinGecko.

Bitcoin open interest in futures, options, and perpetual contracts now sits around $140 billion, down from $220 billion right before the Oct. 10 crash. Derivatives volumes spiked to $748 billion the day of the big wipeout, but has maintained its usual level around $300 billion for the past week according to CoinGlass.

Data on Deribit, the world’s largest crypto derivatives exchange, shows that there’s a $1.1 billion cluster of bullish call contracts at the $140,000 strike price and another $887 million cluster at the $200,000 strike price in options contracts set to expire Dec. 26. There are still plenty of pessimists, though. There’s a $1.1 billion cluster at the $85,000 price. 

The overall reduction in open interest will mean the last monthly expiry of the year could be relatively quiet, Xu said.

“That means we’re likely heading into a year-end expiry with lighter positioning and reduced mechanical pressure, which should help stabilize the market compared with previous high-leverage periods,” he said. “However, activity will likely cluster around key strike levels, and any renewed volatility or ETF-related flows could still drive short-term dislocations. Overall, it’s a healthier setup for the derivatives market heading into 2026.”

A powerful on-chain signal just flashed for BNB, sparking renewed confidence in a bullish BNB price prediction as the token eyes a return to $1,000.

The Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio has plunged to a 27-month low, suggesting BNB is currently undervalued relative to its growing network activity.

In the past, this has been a contrarian signal. This means that, when the metric drops, the price of BNB starts to rise.

The last time the NVT metric hit a low of around 90, BNB started its ascent from $650 to its all-time high of $1,300.

BNB Price Prediction: Early Bullish Signals Pop Up in the Daily ChartThe daily chart shows that an ascending price channel has formed after BNB hit a key support at $920.

The price has progressively recovered, but experienced some selling pressure right after it hit $1,000. This psychological threshold would be the key resistance to watch in the next few days.

A move above this mark could trigger a much more explosive uptick in the near term.

Although it is still a bit early to tell if this will be the beginning of the next leg up for BNB.

If the price rises above the 200-day EMA, it could retest its all-time high soon, as this is a critical level from a technical standpoint.

dYdX Community Approves 75% of Revenue for Buybacks cryptonews
DYDX
TLDR:

dYdX community approves 75% of protocol fees to fund DYDX buybacks under proposal #313.
Previous buyback allocation of 25% is replaced by a three-fold increase to 75%.
Additional allocations see 5% directed to Treasury SubDAO and 5% to MegaVault.
The model links protocol revenue directly to token demand and supply dynamics.

The dYdX Foundation announced that its community approved the proposal to allocate 75 % of the protocol’s fees to repurchasing DYDX tokens on the open market. The vote covered proposal #313, which also redirects 5 % of revenue to the Treasury SubDAO and another 5 % to the MegaVault. 

The change takes effect immediately across the dYdX Community ecosystem and signals a substantial shift in token-economics. Moreover, the decision comes after the governance vote concluded with approximately 59.38 % support.

Revenue Allocation Change Aims to Strengthen Tokenomics
The approved proposal reconfigures how the dYdX protocol deploys its income streams. 

Under the new model, 75 % of protocol fees will be channelled into buybacks of DYDX tokens on the open market. In addition, 5 % of revenue will go to the Treasury SubDAO and a further 5 % will flow into the MegaVault. 

Previously, the buyback allocation was set at 25 % of net protocol revenue; that threshold now triples under the new directive.

The vote, labelled proposal #313, ran online and closed with roughly 59.38 % approval. This result triggers immediate execution of the revised allocation. According to the dYdX Foundation, from “starting today, 75 % of protocol fees will be used to buy back DYDX on the open market.” 

The buyback mechanism connects protocol revenue directly to token demand. As trading activity generates fees, a majority of that flow now serves to purchase DYDX in the secondary market. The structural change ties protocol performance to circulating supply dynamics.

Market and Governance Implications for dYdX
By routing 75 % of fees into buybacks, the protocol creates a sustained purchase pressure on DYDX tokens. 

Market watchers view this as a major shift in DeFi governance practices. The cumulative effect may reduce circulating supply over time as repurchased tokens may be retired, staked, or locked depending on mechanism specification.

The allocations to the Treasury SubDAO and MegaVault (each at 5 %) preserve ecosystem funding and staking incentives alongside the aggressive buyback strategy. The Treasury portion supports protocol upkeep and ecosystem initiatives, while the MegaVault portion likely channels into staking or liquidity-oriented programs.

The new model reflects the community’s endorsement of value-capture mechanisms over previous distribution frameworks. It also reinforces the importance of governance participation within the dYdX ecosystem. The process signals how token-holders can influence tokenomics in a transparent, on-chain manner.

Token-holders and participants in the dYdX protocol should monitor how fee flows translate into actual buybacks, token supply adjustments, and secondary-market dynamics. The effectiveness of the mechanism will depend on protocol activity, buyback execution, and market reception.

Statistics: Canary Capital XRP ETF (XRPC) generated $26 million in trading volume within its first 30 minutes, far surpassing the $17 million estimate by analysts.

At current rates, it could beat the $57 million first-day volume of Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF as biggest ETF launch of the year — a record for an ETF other than Bitcoin or Ethereum.

XRPC offers exposure to the native token of the XRP Ledger, designed to track network performance across payments and liquidity protocols.

Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) Becomes 2025's Top Crypto Asset With a $100M Network While ETH & Pi Face Major Sell-Off Risks! cryptonews
ETH
Market observers continue to track Pi Network’s ecosystem growth and speculate about another Ethereum rally setup. Yet, amid these top crypto trends, Ethereum’s internal struggle with transparency has sparked deeper concerns. The network’s own foundation warns of a “global surveillance” risk, raising questions about whether transparency has turned into a vulnerability rather than a strength.

This growing tension led Ethereum to introduce its “Privacy Stewards” team, an urgent effort to retrofit confidentiality onto a system never built for it. Meanwhile, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) anticipated this privacy challenge early on, channeling $100 million into a privacy-based compute network before launching its presale.

Unlike Ethereum, which is still theorizing, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) already has $17 million in advanced hardware ready to process private AI computations once its upcoming presale begins. Capital is now moving from experimental fixes to fully operational models.

Zero Knowledge Proof’s Advantage Over Ethereum!
Ethereum’s leadership has publicly acknowledged its network’s risk of becoming “global surveillance infrastructure.” This realization pushed the creation of the new “Privacy Stewards,” a hasty measure to repair a design flaw that dates back to Ethereum’s core structure. 

It’s a reactive solution to an issue that Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) was designed to prevent from the start. Built with a privacy-first framework and supported by a $100 million funding commitment before any public sale, ZKP is positioned as one of the best crypto networks of 2025.

While Ethereum’s team continues debating, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) operates with readiness. Its $17 million “Proof Pod” hardware setup is prepared to validate private computations, ensuring secure and efficient AI processing once the presale begins. This tangible infrastructure places ZKP far ahead of other top crypto assets that are still dependent on theoretical solutions. Institutional interest is gravitating toward such practical, pre-built systems.

The project’s whitelist is now open, giving early participants a chance to secure access ahead of the official presale. Through daily on-chain auctions, 200 million ZKP coins will be proportionally distributed every 24 hours using ETH, USDC, BNB, and 21 other supported assets. For those exploring the best crypto of 2025 options, Zero Knowledge Proof offers real-world architecture, not just plans on a roadmap.

Pi Network Strengthens Its Ecosystem Foundation
The Pi Network ecosystem growth remains an important focus for its vast community, now exceeding 47 million members globally. Still within its Enclosed Mainnet stage, Pi’s developers are actively expanding functionality and network utility. 

The emphasis extends beyond mining, evolving into a broader effort to create a sustainable economy before the network opens completely. Multiple dApps are under construction, and their collaboration with OpenMind highlights a growing role in decentralized computing through AI integration.

Pi’s community-driven development remains a major strength. Upcoming plans such as ISO 20022 compliance, a proprietary DEX, and smart contract functionality mark Pi’s entry into regulated financial ecosystems. 

This direction shows that Pi Network ecosystem growth is not just about numbers but about building practical, interoperable systems that could eventually connect with institutional-grade networks.

Ethereum’s Scalability Issues Slow Its Rally Setup
Speculation surrounding an Ethereum rally setup continues to surface as the network leads in Layer-2 adoption and institutional presence. However, serious technical concerns are surfacing internally. 

Vitalik Buterin recently proposed removing the modexp precompile, claiming it is “ZK-unfriendly” and hampers scalability for Layer-2s and ZK-proofs, key elements for Ethereum’s future efficiency. This highlights how foundational issues are still obstructing growth.

Meanwhile, the Ethereum Foundation’s “Privacy Stewards” cluster signals urgency in tackling these ongoing scalability and privacy shortcomings. While traders await a fresh rally, the core developers are focused on fixing these deep architectural weaknesses. 

This reveals a network in transition, trying to balance innovation with necessary structural reform. The true question is how fast Ethereum can overcome these setbacks to sustain long-term growth and reclaim dominance among the best crypto of 2025 narratives.

Final Thoughts
Pi Network’s internal expansion and Ethereum’s reform efforts display two sides of the current crypto cycle: community engagement and systemic repair. Against this backdrop, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) stands out for already implementing what others are still planning. It resolved the privacy problem that Ethereum’s “Privacy Stewards” are only beginning to address.

By securing $100 million to develop a privacy-first operational network before its presale, Zero Knowledge Proof (ZKP) demonstrates a proactive, results-oriented approach that distinguishes it from theoretical competitors. For analysts evaluating the best crypto of 2025, this readiness offers a practical advantage and marks a clear evolution in blockchain infrastructure.

SOL Price Weakens Ahead of Solana Company's Q3 Results Release cryptonews
SOL
TL;DR:

SOL fell 4% ahead of Solana’s Q3 earnings.
Key support is $153-$155; a breach may trigger further decline toward $145.
Positive earnings or ecosystem growth could push SOL toward $160-$163, attracting momentum buyers.

Solana’s SOL token slid to $154 as investors grew cautious ahead of the Q3 earnings release, marking a nearly 4% decline in just 24 hours. Market capitalization stands at $85.47 billion, and daily trading volume is around $5.87 billion, reflecting a slowdown compared to last month’s activity. Traders are carefully monitoring token circulation, upcoming company updates, and liquidity trends, aiming to anticipate potential volatility before the earnings announcement. The market’s reaction will likely set the tone for SOL’s short-term momentum.

SOL Faces Critical $153–$155 Support as Traders Brace for Q3
Support levels between $153 and $155 are under scrutiny as SOL tests near-term stability amid mixed investor sentiment. Analysts warn that a breach could see the token drop toward $145, creating additional pressure on traders with leveraged positions. Holding these levels, however, may attract buyers seeking momentum, especially as Solana’s revenue performance and treasury management decisions are expected to influence SOL’s price trajectory. The interplay between institutional strategy and retail interest is key in these movements.

Solana’s treasury strategy continues to draw attention. Acquisition and holding of SOL tokens by the company aim to reinforce long-term value, while any updates on token allocations, staking programs, or buybacks could trigger rapid market reactions. The ecosystem’s health is measured by both on-chain metrics and investor confidence, which have become increasingly intertwined in recent months.

Derivative markets add another layer of complexity. Open interest in SOL futures remains significant, with larger holders reducing positions while smaller traders accumulate. This mixed activity highlights how institutional and retail behavior may dictate short-term price movements, influencing liquidity and market depth.

Upside potential exists if SOL recaptures the $160–$163 range. Positive earnings and strong support levels could encourage momentum buying, while failure to defend key support might result in heightened selling pressure across the crypto market. Traders will likely react quickly to any hints about the company’s expansion plans or ecosystem growth, affecting broader sentiment.

SOL’s performance offers insight into the Solana network’s resilience. Trading activity in the coming days will test investor confidence, showing whether SOL can maintain its position despite market fluctuations. Analysts emphasize that upcoming developments will be critical in shaping the token’s trajectory.

ETH Drops into Fair Value Zone as Most Treasury Stocks Sink and BitMine Holds Up cryptonews
ETH
Ethereum’s slump is squeezing companies that hold it on their balance sheets, even as BitMine stock holds up better than peers. At the same time, ETH has slipped into a “fair value” support zone on the weekly chart, where analysts say the next move could decide whether the downturn deepens.

BitMine holds up as Ethereum treasury stocks extend lossesEthereum treasury companies are sliding, while BitMine remains the main outlier on the chart. Analyst Ted, highlighted that several listed firms holding Ethereum have seen their share prices drop in recent months, reflecting pressure from the broader ETH downturn.

In contrast, BitMine’s stock has held up better than peers. According to Ted, that relative strength lines up with the company’s steady Ethereum purchases, as it continues to add to its holdings while others trade lower.

However, he warned that this support may not last if ETH fails to recover. Ted said that if the Ethereum price stays weak, BitMine’s consistent buying could eventually slow as its “buying power” is exhausted, leaving the stock more exposed to the same downtrend facing other treasury names.

Ethereum dips into fair-value zone as chart tests key Fibonacci supportEthereum has moved into what analyst Crypto Rover calls its “fair value zone,” as the token trades near a major Fibonacci support level on the weekly chart. The latest pullback places ETH around the 0.618 retracement area, a region that has repeatedly acted as a mid-cycle pivot in previous market phases.

The chart shows ETH retreating from resistance near $4,875, which lines up with the 1.0 Fibonacci extension. As price slid lower, it returned to the $3,350–$3,450 band, a zone that marks the 0.618 retracement from the previous rally. This level has served as a structural support base over the past two years, reinforcing its significance on long-term timeframes.

Crypto Rover noted that any deeper decline would shift ETH from fair-value pricing into undervalued territory. The weekly chart includes higher extension targets between $6,300 and $9,900, but those projections depend on holding the current support cluster. As ETH consolidates above this range, traders track whether the level can stabilize momentum or if selling pressure pushes price toward lower retracement markers.

HBAR Heads Toward a Crash Site — One Level Stands Between Price and the Fall cryptonews
HBAR
HBAR nears a head-and-shoulders completion, with a neckline at $0.160 deciding whether a 28% drop activates.OBV weakness and long-heavy liquidation data raise breakdown risks, especially if volume slips under its ascending trendline.Bullish recovery only starts above $0.199, with full invalidation at $0.219; otherwise $0.113–$0.100 remain exposed.HBAR price is down almost 1% today and has traded flat over the past month. It is up 5.7% in the last seven days, but that bounce does not change the bigger picture.

The chart is close to forming a bearish structure that points to a deeper drop unless one level holds.

Bearish Pattern Forms as Two Risks AmplifyHBAR is close to completing a head-and-shoulders pattern on the daily chart. If price slips below the neckline, the setup signals a potential 28% decline. This pattern is not confirmed yet, but it sits near completion — and the next moves depend heavily on volume behavior.

Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.

Head And Shoulders Pattern At Work: TradingViewThat brings the focus to On-Balance Volume (OBV), a tool that tracks whether volume is flowing into or out of the asset. OBV has been rising slowly along an ascending trendline since 23 October, but this is not a strong signal.

Each time OBV drifts toward the lower edge of this trendline, HBAR price pulls back, showing that buyers are barely holding momentum. OBV is now back at the edge again, which increases the risk of a breakdown. If OBV slips under this line, the head-and-shoulders setup gains momentum.

HBAR Needs Volume Support To Avoid Crash: TradingViewA second risk comes from the leverage map. Over the past seven days on Bitget alone:

Sponsored

Sponsored

Long liquidations: 17.95 million
Short liquidations: 14.34 million
Long Squeeze Risk Exists: CoinglassLongs outweigh shorts by almost 25%, which leaves the market exposed. If price reaches the neckline, led by weak OBV, a long squeeze could kick in, accelerating the downside.

Key Levels Now Decide Whether HBAR Price Drops or EscapesHBAR now comes down to two paths:

Bearish path (likely if the neckline breaks): The neckline of the head-and-shoulders pattern sits near $0.160. A clean drop below it completes the structure and exposes a 28% fall, with the HBAR price chart pointing toward $0.113 and even $0.100 if long liquidations cascade.

Bullish path (only if reclaimed): A recovery starts only if HBAR reclaims $0.199 with strength. A full invalidation happens at $0.219, which erases the pattern and shifts momentum back to buyers.

HBAR Price Analysis: TradingViewFor any bullish scenario to hold, OBV must stay above its ascending trendline. If OBV fails, the neckline breaks faster — and the long squeeze risk increases sharply. For now, the HBAR price is heading toward a crash site, with one level ($0.160) still standing between the price and the fall.

Lido's buybacks won't fix the bigger problem cryptonews
LDO
This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe.

Lido rolled out a buyback plan worth ~$4 million/year at current run-rates and paired it with a roadmap that pushes the protocol beyond staking. At the same time, Strategy (MSTR) slipped below mNAV of 1 and other BTC treasury names are trading at 0.4-0.8x, putting renewed focus on the model. In today’s edition of 0xResearch, we break down the data, the market reaction, and what stood out across sectors.

Indices
Markets slid again despite the optimism that started the week, with the S&P 500 down -0.27%, the Nasdaq down -0.55%, and BTC lower by -1.54%. The flight to safety trend continued, with Gold climbing 1.08% on the day.

Weakness in Big Tech stocks has been the main drag on the tech-heavy indices, while capital continues to rotate into other sectors of the market that have lagged in the recent rallies. The Dow Jones Industrial Average stood out, rising 0.68% on the day and 2.5% for the week.

Concerns around an AI bubble remain in focus after SoftBank sold its entire $5.8 billion stake in Nvidia. Even though CoreWeave beat Q3 sales estimates, its shares slipped on a lower revenue outlook due to data center delays. However, on the earnings call, the company reaffirmed that AI demand still far exceeds available capacity and that it remains supply-constrained.

In crypto, most indices ended the day in the red, dragged down by BTC and broader equity weakness. The standouts were L2s and Memecoins, which gained 0.57% and 0.45%, respectively. L2s were boosted by MNT, up 2.24%, likely driven by excitement around Mantle UR and its positioning in the growing Neobank narrative. The Meme index got a lift from MemeCore, which rose 1.44% on the day.

Laggard categories included Crypto Miners and RWAs, which dropped -4.44% and -7.94%, respectively. The pullback in AI-linked equities spilled into mining stocks, many of which have pivoted toward AI data centers. After a YTD rally of 105.5%, some profit taking in the sector is also to be expected.

Market Update
Doubts are starting to build around the sustainability of treasury companies now that the original pioneer of this playbook, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), is trading below an mNAV of 1 for the first time since early 2024. The company’s mNAV multiple has steadily bled lower from a peak of 2.4 following Trump’s election win.

The picture looks even worse for other BTC treasury names, which now trade at mNAV multiples between 0.4 and 0.8. Investors are increasingly skeptical of the model’s long-term viability. Relying on constant equity issuance to buy more BTC has become harder to justify as share dilution begins to outpace BTC accumulation. Many now see these companies as leveraged proxies for bitcoin, rather than efficient ways to gain exposure.

That skepticism is showing up in the data. BTC purchases by treasury companies have slowed dramatically, down from billion-dollar waves every few weeks to more modest weekly buys of $25 million-$50 million recently.

Sometimes simplicity wins. While BTC is up just 0.2% over the past six months, MSTR has fallen -46.7%, and the newer BTC treasury names are down between -30% and -60%. Brutal, to say the least.

Still, it may be too early to write off the trade entirely. If these discounts persist, a GBTC-style opportunity could emerge where investors can acquire BTC exposure at a meaningful discount through public equities. And if there is one company that knows how to survive and adapt through cycles of expansion and contraction, my bet would be on Strategy.

Lido DAO
Following Uniswap’s move to align the Uniswap Foundation and Labs entity and implement a fee switch, Lido is also moving from pure governance into explicit value return for LDO holders. 

A new Liquid Buybacks proposal would route a slice of staking revenue into automated LDO buybacks, executed via NEST auctions and deposited into an LDO/wstETH LP fully controlled by the DAO. The mechanic is straightforward: Once ETH passed $3,000 and annualized revenue over $40 million, 50% of incremental staking inflows above that threshold are used to buy LDO, capped at $10 million per rolling year. At today’s run rate, this translates to roughly $4 million/year in buybacks.

At first glance, this amount looks low. Aave runs a $50 million/year buyback program; Uniswap’s fee switch would have burned $26 million in the last month alone (not adjusted for wash trading). Secondly, the design also buys only when conditions are strong (high ETH price and high revenue) meaning Lido accumulates LDO when it is relatively expensive, while offering no counter-cyclical support during weaker market periods when the token likely suffers most.

However, Lido also outlined where the protocol is heading over the next 18 months, from a single-product staking business to a multi-product liquidity platform anchored by stETH. 

This sets the stage for Expanding Beyond Staking, where Lido evolves from a single-product stETH protocol in 2025 into a multi-product organization in 2026. Lido’s stVaults become the configurable chassis for institutional staking and yield strategies, Earn expands as the simple “default yield” front door for retail and exchanges, and a new tier of structured and automated products sits on top as Lido moves both closer to users (distribution) and rightward into new asset classes.

Ultimately, Lido appears to be converging on the same insight that other LST protocols have already internalized: LSTs are structurally low-margin, and the real opportunity lies in the products and financial rails built on top of them. We see this clearly with Jito’s BAM (block-based auction markets) and EtherFi’s Cash, both of which extend beyond pure staking yield. Lido’s roadmap is a necessary step in that direction.

However, when it comes to buybacks, the P&L dynamics we highlighted previously still apply. The DAO remains unprofitable (Q3 income was -$200,000), raising questions about how impactful these changes truly are today — or if it’s too little, too late for Lido.

Bitcoin Eyes New All-Time High As Analyst Sets $170K Target cryptonews
BTC
According to market watchers, US-listed spot Bitcoin ETFs posted a $520 million inflow on Tuesday, a sharp change after a mild $1.15 million inflow the day before and a recent week that saw $1.22 billion in withdrawals.

That swing in flows is being watched closely because inflows into ETFs have in the past helped drive big price climbs. Right now Bitcoin trades around $104,000, and some analysts say a jump toward $160,000–$170,000 is possible if buying pressure keeps building.

Diminishing Golden Curves Hint At Lower Peaks
Based on reports from CryptoCon, a model called diminishing golden curves maps price bands using logarithmic regression. The model tracks how far Bitcoin moves above a “Golden Curve” growth path and labels those moves with deviation levels.

The next target for #Bitcoin is between $160,000 and $170,000 🚀 pic.twitter.com/QAd3RdDS8q

— Bitcoin Teddy (@Bitcoin_Teddy) November 12, 2025

Past cycle tops landed at +5 in November 2013, +4 in December 2017, and +3 in November 2021. CryptoCon’s projection now places the next top near the +2 band, which translates to a range between $160,000 and $170,000, with a possible swing toward $186,000. If that plays out, Bitcoin would climb about 70% from current levels near $104,000.

Halving Rhythm Still In Play
Reports show the chart also uses halving-based sine waves. Since the last halving occurred in April 2024, the model expects a market peak in late 2025, a timing that matches the rough 12–18 month pattern seen after previous halvings.

That rhythm has been a simple guide for many traders. It is not a guarantee, but it helps explain why analysts are paying attention to late 2025 as a possible climax point.

BTCUSD now trading at $102,975. Chart: TradingView
Stablecoin And Exchange Reserves Add Weight
On-chain signals add more detail. The stablecoin supply ratio has fallen to levels that historically lined up with market lows, suggesting there is dry powder waiting on the sidelines.

Data from Binance shows stablecoin reserves rising while Bitcoin reserves on the exchange fall — a mix often read as accumulation by long-term holders. CryptoQuant analyst Moreno says liquidity is increasing and volatility is low, which can make the risk-reward seem attractive to buyers.

Timing And Risks Remain Important
Market conditions could change quickly, Especially with new economic data and the end of the US government shutdown.

That kind of macro event can add volatility and shift flows. Models like the Diminishing Golden Curves are useful tools, yet they depend on history repeating in ways that might not hold if a major shock appears.

XRP Flip? Bearish to Bullish Pattern Signals December Rally cryptonews
XRP
XRP forms a bullish pattern near $2.50 as dominance rises and the first U.S. spot XRP ETF launches on Nasdaq on November 13, 2025.

XRP is gaining attention after showing signs of a pattern change on the charts. The asset is around $2.50 at press time, up 2% over the last 24 hours and 9% in the past week.

With a breakout attempt underway, some market analysts are monitoring whether this shift continues into December.

Pattern Change Suggests Possible Breakout
Analyst ChartNerd posted a chart showing XRP completing a descending triangle, which broke below $2.70 in late October. That breakdown pushed the price into the $2.00–$2.20 area. Since then, XRP has begun forming an ascending triangle. This setup shows rising lows and resistance around the same $2.70 level.

Source: ChartNerd/X
At the current price, Ripple’s token is trading near the upper range of this new structure. “This path could last until December, if so,” the analyst said, pointing to the continuation of the trend if the pattern holds.

As previously reported, XRP formed a cup-and-handle between January and July 2025, with the handle still developing. That earlier breakout suggested a possible move toward $5 before year-end. Failure to hold the ascending support would likely bring the price back to the $2.00–$2.20 range, where it previously found buyers.

Price and Dominance Trends
Analyst Ali Martinez shared a separate 4-hour chart showing XRP trading within a descending channel. This range features lower highs and lower lows. The lower boundary sits near $2.00, which Martinez said could act as support.

“XRP could find support at $2,” the post noted.

If the asset slips below $2.30, further movement toward that area may follow. This level has acted as a bounce point in recent weeks.

Moreover, according to CRYPTOWZRD, XRP Dominance is showing early signs of recovery. The chart shows a breakout above both a trendline and the 50-day simple moving average. These were the same indicators seen during a prior rally earlier this year.

The metric is now around 4%. While the breakout has occurred, the analyst added, “bulls have work to do,” referring to the need to hold the move. A drop back under the breakout levels could suggest the reversal has not fully developed.

XRP ETF Launch Draws Market Attention
As reported by CryptoPotato, the first spot XRP ETF (with 100% exposure to the asset) in the US began trading on the Nasdaq Global Market on November 13, 2025. The final approval process has cleared, and trading is expected to open with strong market interest.

Meanwhile, this event may bring new institutional demand, but large holders have reportedly been selling into the rally. This could create short-term pressure as new inflows compete with existing supply.

Canary's XRP ETF Off to Hot Start, Has 'Good Shot' of Breaking Record: Analyst cryptonews
XRP
In brief
The Canary XRP ETF began trading in the U.S. on Thursday.
Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas said the fund had already racked up $26 million in trading volume within 30 minutes.
Bitwise's Solana Staking ETF holds the first-day record for 2025 with $57 million in trading volume.
Could an XRP fund produce the year's hottest start for any exchange-traded fund?

It's possible, according to Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, who wrote on X Thursday that the newly offered Canary XRP ETF—which began trading on Thursday—had already beaten his full-day estimate for trading volume after just 30 minutes on the open market.

Balchunas had set a full-day target of $17 million worth of trading volume, but XRPC had already topped $26 million in trading after 30 minutes, per Bloomberg data.

"Wow, gonna blow away my $17M guess," Balchunas wrote, adding that the XRP fund has a "good shot" of topping the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) as the largest debut this year with $57 million in volume.

Nashville-based Canary filed an 8-A form with the SEC on Monday to register its XRP ETF, which tracks the spot price of XRP, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

It's the second U.S. XRP ETF, following Rex-Osprey's September launch. That fund attracted $38 million on day one and now manages over $128 million in assets.

ETF.com Senior Analyst Sumit Roy told Decrypt earlier this week that XRP funds could command significant inflows.

"While Solana is arguably more popular than XRP, Bitwise's Solana ETF managed to become a $500 million fund in two weeks, which suggests that there is demand for funds that provide exposure to crypto assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum," he said.

XRP is up about 3% on the day to a price of $2.42 while many other top assets (like Bitcoin and Ethereum) are showing red on the day, with the overall market flat on the day according to CoinGecko.

Analysts told Decrypt that the Canary ETF launch could help boost XRP's price prospects in the near term, along with institutional interest and easing macro concerns—including the end of the U.S. government shutdown late Wednesday.

Bitfarms to Shift Focus from Bitcoin Mining to AI and HPC Technology cryptonews
BTC
TLDR

Bitfarms to phase out Bitcoin mining and shift focus to AI and HPC infrastructure by 2027
The company plans to repurpose the Washington site for Nvidia GPUs with liquid cooling by December 2026.
A $128M deal was secured with a U.S. data center partner to fund the transition to AI infrastructure.
Bitfarms targets stable revenue from GPU-as-a-Service and cloud computing solutions.
The transition is backed by Bitfarms’ 2.1 GW energy capacity across North America for AI workloads.

Bitfarms, a leading Bitcoin mining company based in North America, is transitioning away from cryptocurrency mining. The company will phase out its Bitcoin operations over the next two years and pivot towards high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. This change is driven by the ongoing downturn in Bitcoin prices and shrinking profit margins across the crypto industry.

A Strategic Pivot Amid Financial Pressures
The decision to wind down Bitcoin mining marks a significant shift for Bitfarms. The company’s new focus will be on offering GPU-as-a-Service and cloud computing solutions. This move is in line with a broader trend in the mining industry, as companies look for more stable revenue streams.

Bitfarms has already outlined plans for its first AI-focused site in Washington State. The company’s 18 MW mining farm will be repurposed to support Nvidia GB300 GPUs, which will be equipped with advanced liquid cooling technology. The Washington facility will be retrofitted with modular infrastructure designed for scalable deployment and power-efficient operation. This site is expected to become a key part of the company’s transition to AI workloads by December 2026.

Financial Backing for the Transition
To fund this shift, Bitfarms has secured a $128 million deal with a U.S.-based data center partner. This agreement will cover all necessary equipment and building materials needed for the conversion. The company believes this new approach could generate more revenue than its Bitcoin mining business, providing a solid cash flow foundation moving forward.

Bitfarms is not the only mining company exploring AI infrastructure. Other players, including Cipher and Terawulf, have partnered with major investors to build AI-ready data centers. While these ventures are expected to generate significant revenue, they also come with execution risks. Projects like these may face delays, equipment challenges, or underperformance in the GPU-as-a-Service market.

Despite these risks, Bitfarms sees the transition to AI infrastructure as a way to better leverage its existing energy assets. The company operates over 2.1 GW of energy capacity across North America, positioning it well for this new focus.

Polymarket gives Solana 7% chance of a new ATH before 2026 cryptonews
SOL
Journalist

Posted: November 13, 2025

Key Takeaways
How bearish has market sentiment turned on Solana?
Prediction market Polymarket now gives SOL only a 7% chance of hitting a new all-time high before 2026, down from 60% probability in September.

What would Solana need to rally 92% in six weeks?
For SOL to defy the 7% odds and reach its $295 all-time high by year-end, it would need sustained ETF inflows returning to October levels, and a broader crypto market rally.

Market sentiment around Solana has collapsed despite record institutional inflows. 

Prediction platform Polymarket now assigns a 7% probability that SOL will reach a new all-time high before 2026, a dramatic drop from the 60% odds traders assigned in September during the peak of ETF euphoria.

The stark reversal comes as Solana crashed 36% from its October peak of $240 to current levels around $153, despite Solana ETFs pulling in $350 million in cumulative inflows since their October 28 launch. 

The Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) led the charge with strong initial demand, but price action tells a different story.

CryptoQuant’s futures volume analysis reveals what went wrong. Massive “overheating” signals appeared at the $200 price level in October, indicating excessive leverage had built up in the market. 

When those overleveraged positions hit liquidation levels, they triggered a cascading selloff that institutional ETF inflows couldn’t offset.

When overleveraged positions hit liquidation levels, they triggered a cascading selloff that ETF inflows couldn’t offset. 

Current data shows significantly smaller bubbles at lower prices—speculative fervor has evaporated. Volume dried up alongside the price decline.

What would it take for SOL to hit ATH?
The daily price chart reveals the technical challenges facing any recovery attempt. 

Solana trades at $153, having formed a clear downtrend structure with lower highs and lower lows since the October peak. 

The Stochastic RSI sits at 42.45—neutral territory that shows neither oversold conditions nor emerging buying pressure.

For bulls to reverse this trend, SOL needs to reclaim the $190-200 resistance zone where it previously found support. 

Source: TradingView

A sustained break above $200 would invalidate the current downtrend and open the path toward retesting the $240 local high.

From there, a 92% rally to the $295 all-time high requires clearing multiple resistance levels accumulated during the October distribution phase.

The chart shows failed attempts to hold higher prices throughout the fall, leaving overhead supply that will resist any rally attempt.

With the Stochastic RSI showing no momentum and six weeks remaining in 2025, technical structure supports the bearish 7% Polymarket odds.

Solana Price Prediction: Solana-Linked AI Stock Collapses – But the Solana Chart Still Looks Explosive cryptonews
SOL
The decline followed the company’s announcement of a registered direct offering expected to raise around $12 million, with no clear statement on how the proceeds will be used.

The stock, recently priced at $0.29 per share, hit a low of $0.24, its weakest since January. This comes just a month after VisionSys unveiled its ambitious plan to build a Solana treasury worth up to $2 billion, beginning with a $500 million SOL acquisition over the first six months.

However, the firm has not reported any purchases, raising doubts about the status of its Solana-linked initiative.

VisionSys also announced a partnership with Marinade Finance, a leading Solana DeFi protocol managing more than $2 billion in assets.

SOL Price Analysis: Significant Bullish Potential
The chart below shows SOL consolidating within a descending channel, with price action recently attempting to break out to the upside.

If Solana holds its footing around the $150-$155 range, it could confirm a reversal setup, resulting in a major rally toward $400, a potential 157% gain.

Source: TradingView

However, the RSI hovers near 37, indicating short-term weakness. A possible dip to $130-$135 could retest long-term support before bulls regain full control. The MACD remains in negative territory but shows signs of flattening.

A breakout with significant volume above the $175-$185 resistance zone could likely trigger a stronger accumulation rally, targeting $250 first, followed by $400.

SOL Eyes Breakout as New Bitcoin Project Prepares for Launch
While Solana flirts with a breakout toward $400, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is stealing the spotlight by using Solana’s high-speed tech to unlock a new era for Bitcoin.

Built as a Bitcoin Layer-2, HYPER lets users send and receive BTC with near-instant finality – no more slow, costly transactions.

Bitcoin Slides to $100K, Crypto Stocks Eviscerated as Liquidity Crunch Hammers Risk MarketsCrypto’s U.S. trading-hour weakness continues as hopes for new 2025 BTC high fade, market strategist said. Nov 13, 2025, 5:15 p.m.

Bitcoin BTC$103,539.43 and the rest of the crypto market continued the trend of not just losing ground, but notably sliding the most during U.S. market hours.

Following a recent pattern, BTC had bounced to as high as $104,000 overnight but reversed course in early U.S. hours, barely holding above $100,000 just past the noon hour on the east coast and now lower by more than 1% over the past 24 hours.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

The retreat came amid a steep broad decline in risk assets as investors come to grips with the idea that the Fed — at the moment — doesn't appear intent on cutting rates in December. The Nasdaq is down 2% and S&P 500 1.3%.

Crypto-linked equities were hit hard once more, especially miners with heavy AI infrastructure and data center exposure. Bitdeer (BTDR) plunged 19% and Bitfarms (BITF) dropped 13%, while Cipher Mining (CIFR) and IREN lost over 10%. The rest of the crypto equity sector also saw steep losses: Galaxy (GLXY), Bullish (BLSH), Gemini (GEMI) and Robinhood (HOOD) were all down 7%-8%.

BTC's 2025 peak could be inThe pullback underscores a trend that’s defined crypto markets in recent weeks: persistent weakness during U.S. hours, coinciding with cooling expectations of a December rate cut from the Federal Reserve.

"Crypto is closely linked to macro-economics now more than anytime in the past," said Paul Howard, senior director at trading firm Wincent.

With markets now pricing in roughly 50/50 odds for a 25 basis points rate cut next month, Howard expects BTC to stay muted near current levels for the remainder of the year.

"My sense is with just six weeks left, we’ve seen the all-time highs for 2025," he said. "From here, we likely get a steady ascension over the course of the coming year — volatility acknowledged."

Bitcoin Down To $100,000 Is The Four-Year Cycle Breaking? cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin's (CRYPTO: BTC) signature four-year halving cycle, where market peaks follow 12–18 months after each halving, may be weakening or breaking entirely, according to top traders.

What Happened: Analyst Scott Melker, known as The Wolf Of All Streets, noted Bitcoin's previous tops occurred around 1,060–1,070 days after a major cycle low.

The market is now ~1,080 days past the last low, yet there's been no euphoria phase, altcoins remain quiet, sentiment is poor, and many investors exited early.

Melker suggested that traders may have front-run the cycle, diluting its impact. Once that premature selling fades, Bitcoin could shift into a mature, liquidity-driven phase that extends through 2026.

Why It Matters: Melker cautioned that the four-year model rests on just three data points, making it statistically weak. Indicators like MVRV, HODL Waves, and Puell Multiple, while popular, remain inconsistent.

"Sooner or later, the cycle will break," he said, whether due to institutional dominance or a new market rhythm.

Trader Decode echoed the sentiment, calling the halving a psychological relic, arguing Bitcoin now tracks global liquidity and demand, not its issuance.

Meanwhile, trader George dubbed 2026 Bitcoin's "revenge arc," saying it's now free to "cook its own timeline."

Cash App Integrates Bitcoin and Stablecoins for Instant Payments cryptonews
BTC
Cash App launches major crypto upgrades, adding instant Bitcoin payments without a balance and global stablecoin support through an easier, faster system.

Emir Abyazov2 min read

13 November 2025, 05:22 PM

Cash App, the popular payment app owned by Block Inc., has launched one of its most significant crypto updates to date. The new release introduces instant Bitcoin payments — even for users who don’t hold any BTC, and adds global support for sending and receiving stablecoins.

The new Bitcoin Payments with USD feature allows users to pay in Bitcoin at checkout even without owning the cryptocurrency. Cash App automatically converts US dollars from a user’s balance into Bitcoin for the merchant through the Lightning Network.

According to the company, this opens crypto payments to all 58 million Cash App users without affecting their existing Bitcoin holdings or triggering taxable BTC sales.

Cash App Statistics: How Many People Use Cash App?Cash App has also introduced Bitcoin Map, an interactive tool that helps users discover nearby businesses that accept Bitcoin and pay them directly through the app. The company says the feature supports local economies that embrace digital assets.

In Q2 2023, Cash App generated $44 million in gross profit from $2.4 billion in Bitcoin sales, highlighting the app’s large existing crypto footprint.

Stablecoins, Self-Custody, and Cash App’s Bigger Goal for Bitcoin Payments“Bitcoin was created as peer-to-peer money, and Cash App is building the tools that allow it to operate that way—fast, open, and borderless,” said Miles Suter, head of Bitcoin at Block Inc. He emphasized that the company aims to make cryptocurrency practical for both shoppers and merchants.

Cash App’s update also brings stablecoin support, allowing users to send and receive stablecoins worldwide. Incoming stablecoins are automatically converted into US dollars, ensuring smooth transactions with stable value.

Stablecoins as a Bridge to BitcoinSuter described stablecoins as a transitional step between traditional finance and decentralized digital money:

“The traditional fiat system is Money 1.0. Bitcoin is Money 2.0—the end goal. Stablecoins are Money 1.5, an improvement on the old system but not a competitor to Bitcoin.”

Suter added that Cash App’s long-term vision centers on self-custody, allowing users to hold their funds independently. He noted that Block created the Bitkey wallet for this purpose and is developing an automatic transfer feature to self-custody, scheduled for release in 2026.

In October 2025, the first business to test the Lightning-powered Bitcoin payment system through a Square terminal was the Compass Coffee café chain in Washington, D.C.

First spot XRP ETF is LIVE: Recording $36M volume on debut, challenges BSOL record cryptonews
XRP
Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF surpassed $36 million in trading volume within its first three hours on Nov. 13, positioning the fund as a contender for the strongest exchange-traded fund debut of 2025.

The XRPC traded at $25.74 as of 4:43 P.M. UTC, generating volume equivalent to 63% of Bitwise’s Solana ETF (BSOL) first-day performance, which is the current 2025 benchmark among more than 850 fund launches.

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas projected the fund would “blow away” his initial $17 million estimate and potentially surpass BSOL’s $57 million opening-day record.

XRP climbed 3.3% to $2.41 in the 24 hours surrounding the launch while Ethereum and Solana declined 1.4% and 1.3%, respectively.

The divergence suggests concentrated buying interest tied to the new investment vehicle rather than broader market momentum.

Canary Capital framed its product around XRP Ledger’s technical architecture, stating on X that the network “represents a leading framework for global payments, purpose-built for interoperability and real-world settlement.”

The positioning emphasizes payment infrastructure over speculative trading, aligning with Ripple’s long-standing narrative around enterprise adoption.

Regulatory context frames launch significanceThe fund’s approval carries weight beyond its trading metrics. The Securities and Exchange Commission maintained active litigation against Ripple Labs for five years before settling three months ago.

Following the decision, XRPC is the first XRP public spot investment product registered under the Securities Act of 1933.

NovaDius Wealth president Nate Geraci stated on Nov. 2 that the launch represents “the final nail in the coffin of previous anti-crypto regulators.”

On Nov. 11, he noted the SEC appealed a court ruling that XRP did not constitute a security just one year prior. Geraci stated:

“Hard to describe crypto regulatory shift over past year. Night & day.”

Additionally, he predicted on Oct. 29 that the fund would “easily become” a billion-dollar product within months, with “flows dramatically exceeding what people are expecting.”

Regarding inflows, experts predicted in September that XRP ETFs would capture $8 billion in their first year of trading.

The launch tests whether institutional demand for XRP exists, despite the SEC’s years of creating a scenario of legal uncertainty for Ripple, which only recently started to change.

Ethereum Staked Supply Surges 28% in 2025, Topping 36M ETH cryptonews
ETH
TL;DR

Ethereum’s staked supply has risen 28% in 2025, surpassing 36 million ETH locked in the Beacon Chain contract.
Large investors, particularly whales and institutional pools, are leading the inflows, reinforcing confidence in Ethereum’s long-term stability.
Despite extended unstaking wait times exceeding 37 days, the consistent demand for staking underscores the network’s growing appeal as a yield-generating and value-preserving ecosystem.

Ethereum’s staked supply has grown significantly this year, reaching over 36 million ETH as of mid-November. The surge follows the Dencun upgrade, which made large-scale staking more efficient by allowing deposits of up to 2,048 ETH per validator. Staking activity has become a reflection of investor trust, as participants seek passive income while reducing market liquidity pressure.

Ethereum Staking Growth Signals Renewed Investor Confidence
Data from on-chain analytics firm Nansen shows that nearly 35% of Ethereum’s total supply could soon be locked in staking contracts. This shift impacts both token distribution and price behavior, creating a stronger foundation for Ethereum’s decentralized economy. Staked ETH also strengthens the broader DeFi landscape by increasing available collateral for lending, derivatives, and liquidity protocols.

The sustained demand for staking has helped stabilize ETH’s trading range around $3,500, with inflows continuing across both retail and institutional segments. Analysts suggest that this pattern mirrors previous accumulation phases that preceded upward market cycles.

Whale Wallets and Institutional Pools Lead Staking Expansion
Whale wallets—those holding over 10,000 ETH—have been a major driver of this year’s staking boom. In the fourth quarter alone, they contributed around 4.1 million ETH in fresh deposits. Binance’s staking pool now accounts for over 24% of the total staked supply, demonstrating the growing role of exchanges and custodial services in Ethereum’s validator ecosystem.

Meanwhile, treasuries, ETFs, and early ICO participants hold roughly 12 million ETH that could still enter staking, adding potential long-term pressure to the circulating supply. Returns remain attractive, with staking yields reaching up to 6.5%, especially for participants using liquid staking tokens that maintain on-chain liquidity while earning rewards.

Long Validator Queues Reflect Deep Network Commitment
Unstaking Ethereum remains a time-consuming process, with current exit queues averaging 37 to 43 days. Over 2.1 million ETH are awaiting withdrawal, while new deposits must wait nearly three weeks to activate and start earning rewards. This dynamic highlights a committed validator base focused on long-term network participation rather than short-term speculation.

Ethereum’s accumulation trend continues, with more than 27 million ETH now stored in self-custodial wallets.

Taiwan to explore Bitcoin treasury with support from central bank cryptonews
BTC
Taiwan’s central bank will officially start exploring the possibility of establishing a Bitcoin reserve to diversify the nation’s holdings and reduce the country’s reliance on the US dollar.

Long-time Bitcoin proponent and one of the leading names behind Taiwan’s pro-Bitcoin push, Dr. Ko Ju-Chun, a legislator at the Taiwanese parliament, is leading the effort.

Ko announced the latest breakthrough in a Nov. 13 X post, noting that the central bank has agreed to run a pilot initiative where it would begin cataloging seized Bitcoin that has not yet been auctioned.

“Successfully secured commitments from the Executive Yuan and the central bank: they will study Bitcoin as a strategic reserve,” Ko said as he called upon the Bitcoin community “to show support and help Taiwan become Asia’s BTC hub.”

The initiative would be a joint effort between the Taiwanese government and Samson Mow, led JAN3, a Bitcoin technology and digital infrastructure company that specialises in helping nation-states adopt the flagship cryptocurrency within their financial systems.

Ko made a special mention of JAN3 CEO Samson Mow in his announcement. Mow is a veteran in the crypto space and has previously served in executive positions at firms like Blockstream and BTCC.

Currently, he is also an advisor to El Salvador, one of the leading crypto-friendly nations and the first to adopt Bitcoin as a legal tender.

Mow’s expertise could play a key role in positioning Taiwan as the first country in Southeast Asia to officially hold Bitcoin as part of its national reserves if the treasury plan goes through.

Taiwan currently holds around 432 tons of gold and approximately $577 billion in foreign currency as part of its reserves.

According to Ko, adding Bitcoin is expected to provide a complementary hedge against economic uncertainty and geopolitical risk.

When Ko first proposed the idea back in May during the national finance conference, he said Bitcoin’s decentralized nature and growing role as a sovereign hedge across several jurisdictions make it a suitable candidate for reserve diversification.

According to him, Bitcoin also has the potential to safeguard the country’s economic position in times of crisis, especially considering Taiwan’s heavy reliance on exports and the associated volatility in the New Taiwan dollar.

At the time, he suggested that Taiwan could allocate up to 5% of its reserves to Bitcoin as part of a strategic overhaul to strengthen the nation’s long-term financial resilience.

Taiwan will draft pro-Bitcoin regulations
Copy link to section

Another major development is the confirmation that Taiwanese regulators will expedite “BTC-friendly” regulations that are expected to arrive in six months’ time. 

Taiwan’s Financial Supervisory Commission had started working on a regulatory framework for virtual assets and released a draft outlining licensing requirements for crypto service providers, stablecoin issuance standards, and enforcement mechanisms earlier this year.

Details regarding whether the FSC will also play a role in shaping the upcoming Bitcoin-specific policy initiative have not been disclosed. 

However, with both the Executive Yuan and the central bank now aligned on exploring Bitcoin’s role in the economy, it is safe to say it is opening up for more comprehensive integration.

Countries follow US lead
Copy link to section

Ever since the US disclosed plans to explore Bitcoin reserves with support from President Donald Trump, a number of nations have perceived it as a sign of changing monetary priorities and drawn up respective national strategies to counter Western dominance in global finance.

Over the past few months, several countries, including Kazakhstan, Brazil, France, and Sweden, have introduced proposals or outlined frameworks aimed at incorporating Bitcoin into their national or institutional reserves.

Bitcoin's (BTC) Famous 4-Year Cycle May Finally Be Crumbling cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin's 1,080-day cycle may be breaking, as experts point to weak sentiment and early selling, which have distorted historical halving patterns.

Crypto analyst Scott Melker noted that Bitcoin is currently about 1,080 days removed from its last major cycle low. Historically, market peaks have occurred between 1,060 and 1,070 days after those lows, which places the asset at a critical point where a deviation from previous cycles could become statistically meaningful.

Traditionally, Bitcoin peaks 12 to 18 months after a halving event. The most recent one took place in April 2024. If that historical pattern were to repeat, Melker said, a market top would be expected between April and October 2025.

However, he pointed out that the current market lacks the typical “mania phase.” To top that, altcoins have yet to surge, and investor sentiment remains weak. Many traders have either sold early or stayed on the sidelines, according to his analysis.

Bitcoin Breaking Free from Old Patterns
Melker suggested that investors’ attempts to front-run the four-year cycle may have altered or “broken” it, and that once the early selling pressure subsides, Bitcoin could begin following a more mature, liquidity-driven trajectory into 2026.

“Eventually, the four-year cycle will break – if not now, then probably next time. Whether that means Bitcoin’s entering a new era of institutional flows and real-world adoption, or simply rewriting its pattern, is what makes this moment so fascinating.”

A similar perspective was shared by BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes last month when he argued that Bitcoin’s traditional four-year price cycle is becoming obsolete. He then asserted that the current bull market could extend far longer due to loose global monetary policy and dismissed the rigid application of the four-year cycle, claiming that traders overlook the real drivers, such as liquidity conditions and credit trends in the US and China.

Hayes explained that previous Bitcoin peaks were tied more to tightening in dollar and yuan credit than to halving schedules, suggesting today’s environment is fundamentally different.

Bitcoin’s Four-Year Cycle Obsolete?
More recently, PlanB, the creator of Bitcoin’s well-known stock-to-flow model, has also begun questioning the cycle. Responding to bearish views that $126,000 marked the market top and that 2026 will usher in a bear phase, he called such assumptions a “big misunderstanding.”

Bitcoin’s (BTC) Risk-Reward Ratio Is Collapsing – Here’s What Comes Next

PlanB argued that just three completed cycles are insufficient to establish a dependable pattern and stressed that it is “absolutely not guaranteed” for Bitcoin to peak 18 months after a halving, which would imply October 2025.

He suggested that the next market top could just as easily occur in 2026, 2027, or even 2028, adding that he is now more focused on Bitcoin’s average price levels rather than short-term peaks and troughs. According to him, the market has yet to undergo a “fundamental phase transition,” which could either lead to a major rally or a more stable, institutionally influenced regime – both outcomes he considers bullish.

Breaking: Ripple CEO Reacts to Launch of First Spot XRP ETF cryptonews
XRP
Brad Garlinghouse, chief executive officer at Ripple, has taken to social media to react to the successful launch of the first spot-based XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the US. 

Those several words carry years of backstory, given that Ripple had spent years fighting the US Securities and Exchange Commission.  

As reported by U.Today, analyst Nate Geraci previously claimed that the debut of the first pure spot XRP ETF would be the final nail in the coffin for the anti-crypto policies enacted by previous SEC administrations. 

The most successful debut of the year? Within 30 minutes of launch, $26 million worth of XRPC shares were traded.

That’s an extremely promising start, which essentially means that there is strong investor demand for the popular altcoin. 

Balchunas expects it could surpass $57 million (the record for ETF launch this year, set by a Solana ETF (BSOL).

Dogecoin: Can DOGE breakout despite $700M whale sell-off? cryptonews
DOGE
Journalist

Posted: November 13, 2025

Key Takeaways
How are traders battling?
Mid-tier whales bought 4.72 billion DOGE, while the big ones sold $700 million worth of the memecoins.

Did DOGE price react?
Dogecoin demonstrated resilience in the long run, despite a skewed short-term outlook.

Dogecoin [DOGE] traded below the $0.20 level even though its price rose by a slight 2.4% in the past 24 hours, at press time. However, DOGE recorded a daily trading volume of $2.07 billion, marking a 26% increase.

Despite mixed sentiment among mid-tier and large whale investors, analysts remained optimistic, projecting potential gains beyond the $0.70 mark.

DOGE mid-tier whales differ from big whales
On-chain data showed that big whales who accumulated well over 1 billion DOGE were selling over the past two weeks.

The total capital withdrawn from Dogecoin’s market cap was about $700 million, as per BeLaunch data. This explained why the price was lagging below $0.20.

Meanwhile, mid-tier whales were actively accumulating DOGE, highlighting a divergence in sentiment between them and larger holders. Approximately 4.72 billion DOGE were purchased by wallets holding between 100 million and 1 billion tokens.

The impact of this contrasting behavior remains uncertain, leaving the market’s next move unclear.

Analyzing the short- and long-term targets
Analyst Javon Marks pointed out that if the long-term higher lows remained intact, Dogecoin could reach its all-time high (ATH) of $0.73, as indicated on the charts. This would represent a 430% growth from the current level of $0.17.

Dogecoin was also showing a bullish divergence from its RSI that was rising against a declining price action. This historical pattern suggested that a bubble could follow, similar to what occurred after the chart data from the 5th of November.

In the short term, DOGE price could hit $0.21 as the first target, followed by $0.25, even though the outlook was unclear. The upward trend followed a dip below the range between October 11th and November 3rd. The structure was still bearish, though.

Source: TradingView

The Bull Bear Power (BBP) indicated buyers were making their move, though their magnitude was wanting. For the largest part, bears had been in control since the flash crash.

Conversely, failure to surpass the upper level at $0.21 could mean the memecoin continues to fall.

Conditions for a short squeeze
The clusters of liquidity resting above the $0.17 zone set up perfect conditions for a short squeeze. More liquidity was present above the $0.17 level than below it.

The chart indicated that the surge toward $0.175 resulted from a run on short positions located above the $0.17 level. The positions in the range between $0.175 and $0.185 are crucial to breaking above the $0.21 resistance.

Source: CoinGlass

Still, a drop to levels between $0.17 and $0.165 remained viable.

In summary, Dogecoin was facing mixed sentiments; thus, it was not clear in which direction it was headed.

The long-term perspective remained bullish, even though big whales were selling. The mid-tier whales could spark short-term rallies.

Bitcoin Tests Critical Support as Bearish Momentum Deepens and Long-Term Holders Unload 815K BTC: CryptoQuant cryptonews

Bitcoin’s momentum has weakened sharply, and the market has slipped into one of its most bearish phases of the year, according to the latest CryptoQuant weekly report.

Sentiment has deteriorated quickly as Bitcoin hovers dangerously close to the $100,000 level. The shift began after the October 10 “Big Liquidation” event, which drained upward momentum and pushed several key indicators into bearish territory.

Long-term holders are selling hard.

~815K BTC sold in the past 30 days, the highest level since Jan 2024.

With demand contracting, this sell-side pressure is weighing on the price pic.twitter.com/jFODp4ZA1p

— CryptoQuant.com (@cryptoquant_com) November 13, 2025
Spot demand contracted earlier in October, while growth in stablecoin liquidity — a critical driver of market inflows — slowed significantly. Together, these factors have created a fragile environment in which Bitcoin’s price struggles to sustain meaningful support.

A Market Losing Its Grip on MomentumCryptoQuant’s Bull Score Index reflects the extent of the downturn. Earlier in October, when Bitcoin reached its all-time high of $126,000, the index stood at a strongly optimistic reading of 80. That optimism evaporated quickly as Bitcoin slipped below $100,000 for the first time since June.

The index has now fallen to 20, indicating an extremely bearish environment. The steep decline shows how quickly the market has shifted from aggressive buying to hesitation and caution, with fewer new inflows and weaker spot demand contributing to the downward pressure.

Long-Term Holders Unload at Rare LevelsOne of the most concerning signals in the report is the behaviour of long-term holders. Over the past month, they have sold roughly 815,000 BTC, marking their heaviest distribution since January 2024. This selling occurred as Bitcoin pushed into the $118,000 to $121,000 range, a moment when spot demand had already begun to fade.

In earlier phases of the cycle, strong demand from ETFs, institutional traders and retail buyers was sufficient to absorb heavy selling from long-term holders. That buffer is now absent. Instead, the combination of steady supply from long-term holders and weakening demand is placing clear downward pressure on the market, raising the risk of further price deterioration.

Profit-Taking Stays Strong, but Capitulation Is AbsentProfit realization remains elevated. On November 7, investors locked in approximately $3 billion in net profits, mirroring the aggressive selling seen throughout October. Despite the heavy profit-taking, the market has yet to show signs of capitulation.

Realized losses remain extremely low, suggesting that holders are not panic-selling even as price support weakens. This dynamic — strong profits but minimal losses — indicates that the market has not formed a bottom. Historically, price floors emerge only after losses rise and weak hands exit the market, a pattern that has not yet appeared.

The Battle at the 365-Day Moving AverageBitcoin’s current struggle centres on the 365-day moving average, which sits near $102,000. This line has served as the ultimate support level throughout the current bull cycle and was one of the last major indicators to turn bearish during the 2021–2022 transition into a prolonged downturn.

Bitcoin has now dipped below this level several times — a warning sign not seen earlier in this cycle. If the price continues to close beneath the 365-day average, the risk of a deeper correction grows considerably.

CryptoQuant notes that the next areas of meaningful support lie significantly lower, suggesting that failure to reclaim this moving average could accelerate a broader market decline.

Bitcoin now stands at a critical juncture. With momentum fading, long-term holders selling heavily, and spot demand failing to keep pace, the market’s ability to stabilize depends heavily on whether Bitcoin can reclaim its 365-day moving average. The coming weeks may determine whether this is a temporary pullback or the start of a more significant correction.
