Key Takeaways
What gives Solana its edge in the stablecoin market?
Solana can capitalize on short-term adoption and liquidity inflows faster than larger networks like Ethereum, enabling faster DeFi activity.

Is Circle betting big on SOL?
Circle’s USDC supply on SOL shows it is strategically deploying liquidity, reinforcing its role in driving Solana’s quarterly stablecoin inflows.

Is Solana’s [SOL] stablecoin flow its real future edge?

On-chain, total liquidity sat around $14 billion at press time.

That puts Solana ahead of Base, Arbitrum [ARB], and Optimism [OP]. At the same time, its dry powder ranks as the third largest, just behind Ethereum [ETH] and TRON [TRX].

Sure, the gap is still massive compared to ETH’s $167 billion stablecoin market. However, looking at QoQ performance, SOL’s Q1 and Q3 cycles saw the market jump by 140% and 40%, respectively.

Meanwhile, ETH recorded 14% and 24% QoQ gains over the same period.

Simply put, Solana’s ecosystem can capitalize on short-term adoption and liquidity inflows faster, making its stablecoin flow a real structural advantage.

Take, for instance, a memecoin drop on the Solana network.

Due to its faster liquidity inflows, trading volume spikes instantly. Then, capital rotates quickly through the system, fueling more DeFi activity. Meanwhile, larger networks like Ethereum see slower, steadier growth.

In short, Solana’s stablecoin market is giving it a serious edge. As a result, more projects are launching on the network. That said, does this mean stablecoins are turning into Solana’s strongest lane right now?

Circle’s big bet on Solana’s speed and liquidity
Given USDC’s growing share, it’s clear that Circle is betting big on Solana. 

For context, USDC’s total circulating supply sits at $75 billion, with roughly 65% on Ethereum. Still, 58% of Ethereum’s stablecoin market is dominated by Tether [USDT], keeping USDT as the most liquid option.

On the other hand, Solana’s USDC supply is 11.62%, totaling $8.74 billion. Notably, nearly 60% of Solana’s stablecoin market is USDC-led, making Circle a key strategic player in deploying the network’s liquidity.

In this context, Circle’s recent $1.25 billion USDC mint drew attention. 

For reference, the minted supply on the 6th of November reached $1.35 billion USDC. That means roughly 93% of the total minted supply landed on the Solana network, highlighting Circle’s strategic bet on the ecosystem.

With Solana’s quarterly stablecoin inflows even outpacing Ethereum, Circle is clearly driving a significant part of that growth.

As a result, higher liquidity adds another key tailwind for SOL, boosting its position in DeFi.

Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss took potshots Sunday at the British daily newspaper Financial Times for its 12-year-old article that predicted Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) would become the next “bubble.”

Winklevoss Criticizes Media’s Bitcoin CoverageWinklevoss took to X to voice his criticism of the mainstream media’s negative projections about the leading cryptocurrency. He specifically called out the Financial Times for their 2013 article, which compared Bitcoin to historical financial bubbles such as the tulip mania and the dotcom bubble.

He pointed out that Bitcoin, which was valued at $138 on the day the article was published, is now worth over $100,000, indicating a whopping 76576.8% increase.

“I think it’s time for the FT to admit defeat and print a retraction,” Winklevoss said. “The business press not only hates business, it knows nothing about it.”

FT didn’t immediately return Benzinga’s request for comment.

Interestingly, while the Financial Times has written multiple op-eds critical of Bitcoin and its potential, it also published an article in August titled “Britain missed the first crypto wave. We cannot skip the second.”

It’s worth mentioning that less than a year after the FT’s piece, Mt. Gox, one of the most popular Bitcoin exchanges at the time, declared bankruptcy after losing 744,408 BTC in a hack. This pushed Bitcoin into a slump and an extended bear market, and by early 2015, prices had slumped. But Bitcoin charted a recovery, which turned into a boom during 2017, when ICOs were garnering public attention.

Winklevoss Twins And Their Bitcoin HistoryCameron and his twin brother Tyler have been big cheerleaders of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry.

The two made significant Bitcoin donations to support the campaigns of pro-cryptocurrency politicians, including President Donald Trump and John Deaton, who ran against Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), during the 2024 election cycle.

In August, they donated $21 million in Bitcoin to a political action committee supporting Trump’s vision of making the U.S. the “world’s cryptocurrency capital.”

The twin brothers own an estimated 70,000 BTC, worth $7.40 billion, in addition to other cryptocurrencies, according to data from Forbes.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $105,854, up 3.87% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Cathie Wood, CEO of ARK Invest, has adjusted her long-standing bullish forecast for Bitcoin (BTC), lowering the firm's 2030 price target from $1.5 million to $1.2 million. The move reflects the rapid evolution of the crypto economy — particularly the dominance of stablecoins in global financial systems — while maintaining confidence in Bitcoin's role as a macro hedge and store of value.

Trump Media and Technology Group’s Bitcoin holdings weren’t enough to prop up it’s balance sheet, as the company reported a $54.8 million loss in its third-quarter earnings as it was pinched with rising costs.

The Trump-tied company, which operates the Truth Social social media platform, shared on Friday that its Q3 net loss widened from the $19.3 million in losses compared to the same time last year.

The company reported revenues of $972,900, down from over $1 million a year ago. Shares in Trump Media (DJT) ended trading on Friday down 1.73% to $13.10, seeing a small bump after-hours to $13.20.

Trump Media reported that it held 11,542 Bitcoin (BTC) as of Sept. 30. It first announced it would start buying Bitcoin in late July, and flagged plans in its earnings to buy more, along with considering “the acquisition of other, similar cryptocurrencies.”

Source: Arkham Bitcoin holdings generated incomeTrump Media generated $15.3 million of realized income from its Bitcoin options investments and posted $33 million in unrealized gains from holding over 746 million Cronos, the native token of the Cronos blockchain. At the end of September, Cronos was trading hands for around $0.18.

The company said in July that it acquired Bitcoin as part of an investment strategy which it began in May, after raising $1.5 billion from stock sales and $1 billion from convertible senior secured bonds.

Devin Nunes, Trump Media’s CEO and President, said in a statement that the “third quarter was crucial to Trump Media’s expansion plans,” and the company has “secured our financial future with a massive Bitcoin treasury, and expanded our existing platforms.”

Trump media to buy up to $1 billion in CronosTrump Media entered into an agreement with crypto exchange Crypto.com and Yorkville Acquisition Corp in August to establish Trump Media Group CRO Strategy, a digital asset treasury company focused on acquiring Cronos.

In total, Trump Media Group CRO Strategy is expected to buy up to $1 billion in Cronos, representing over 6.3 trillion tokens, according to the Q3 results.

“With these financial assets now earning income, alongside our second consecutive quarter of positive operating cash flow, we’re well-poised to act on our mergers and acquisitions strategy by acquiring one or more of the crown jewel assets we’re now evaluating, with an eye toward those that will bring the most long-term value for our shareholders,” Nunes said.

Stock price struggling to make gainsThe company’s financial assets have also grown from $274 million in March 2024, when it went public, to $3.1 billion as of Sept. 30, Nunes added.

However, its stock has been trending downward, losing 61% year-to-date.

Bitwise Asset Management CEO Hunter Horsley predicts an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) would be a big success if approved, given the strong global interest in the token. Horsley said there is “a ton of energy and enthusiasm” around XRP that sets it apart from many other crypto assets.

In an interview with CoinDesk, Horsley explained that in traditional finance, “the death of an ETF is apathy,” but that is far from the case with XRP. He noted that XRP has one of the most passionate and active communities in crypto, which would likely translate into strong demand for an ETF.

Traditional Capital Could Flow Into XRPAccording to Horsley, the appeal of an XRP ETF goes beyond retail investors. He pointed out that over $100 trillion in assets currently sit within traditional financial systems, and an ETF often acts as the bridge that allows such capital to gain exposure to new digital assets.

“I think if they have the opportunity to have exposure to and trade XRP, it’ll be a very useful and high-demand product,” he said.

Volatility to Persist in the Near TermWhen asked about the volatility in crypto markets, Horsley said that Bitcoin is gradually maturing as more investors agree on how to value it. This growing consensus, he explained, helps narrow its price fluctuations over time.

However, for other large-cap assets such as XRP, Ethereum, and Solana, he expects volatility to persist for the next 12 to 18 months.

Investors Still Forming Consensus on Major AltcoinsHorsley attributed this ongoing volatility to the evolving understanding of these assets among investors. “Investors are busy,  they’re thinking about AI, macroeconomics, government policy, or taking family vacations,” he said. 

“So I think that there’s more thought development that will need to take place with Solana, XRP, and Ethereum before consensus emerges on those assets. So I think they’ll continue to be volatile for some time to come,” he said

He concluded that while volatility will remain part of the market for now, growing institutional access through products like ETFs could help shape clearer valuations and eventually lead to more stable trading conditions.

PayPal’s PYUSD hit $18.6B in transfer volume and tokenized fund AUM jumped 2,000%.

ETH remains range-bound below $3,500, with weak momentum and neutral derivatives data.

Ethereum’s [ETH] on-chain economy is entering a new phase. PayPal’s stablecoin volume keeps climbing, and major financial institutions are now moving real funds on-chain.

Tokenization isn’t just an idea anymore. It’s quickly becoming one of Ethereum’s strongest growth engines.

PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, hit its strongest quarter yet: $18.6 billion in transfer volume on Ethereum. This is a massive 260% jump year-over-year.

The chart showed a steady climb across every quarter since early 2024, showing growing usage among both retail and institutional users.

Source: X

What’s driving this surge is simple: PayPal’s integration with onchain payments is turning PYUSD into one of Ethereum’s most active stablecoins.

And it’s not just stablecoins making noise
Tokenized funds on Ethereum have exploded, up nearly 2,000% since January 2024. The chart showed a clear inflection point earlier this year, driven by traditional giants like BlackRock and Fidelity launching on-chain versions of their funds.

What started as a niche experiment in tokenized treasuries has turned into a multi-billion-dollar ecosystem. Simply put, the world’s biggest asset managers are validating Ethereum as the base layer for real-world finance.

Momentum weakens, ETH faces resistance
Ethereum was struggling to regain strength above the $3,500 mark at press time.

The chart showed price action consolidating below the 9-day EMA, so short-term momentum was muted. RSI was at 37.7, indicating weak buying pressure, while the CMF at -0.10 indicates capital outflows from the market.

Derivatives data support this caution.

ETH’s Open Interest (OI) has slipped to around $17.6 billion, while Funding Rates remain near neutral at 0.0098%. ETH is seeing low leveraged activity.

With volumes thinning and sentiment cooling, ETH remains range-bound unless a decisive breakout above $3,500 restores bullish conviction.

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) soared overnight Sunday fueled by broader optimism in the cryptocurrency market that the ongoing federal shutdown would soon end.

XRP Sees Buying PressureThe fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization rallied over 9% in the last 24 hours, with trading volume spiking 38% to $3.89 billion.

In doing so, XRP overshadowed popular coins, such as Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE), which rose 4.16% and 5.26%, respectively, in the 24-hour period.

The rally got speculative traders excited, with open interest in XRP futures jumping 6.70% in the last 24 hours, according to Coinglass.

Additionally, over 70% of Binance traders holding open XRP positions expected the rally to continue, according to the Long/Short ratio.

Will XRP Rally Toward $10?Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez noted a bullish flag formation for XRP, suggesting a correction to $1.90 could spark a rally toward $10.

Should this come to fruition, it would mean an upside of 309% from XRP's current level.

What Do Technical Indicators Say?Meanwhile, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset's price, flashed a "Buy" signal for XRP, according to TradingView.

The Bull Bear Power indicator, however, showed a "Neutral" reading, indicating a balance between buyers and sellers in the market.

The Senate moved toward a vote to end the record 40-day government shutdown, sending stock futures and cryptocurrencies higher.

Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.44, up 9.72% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The Reserve Bank of Australia has warned that the rate cut path could be narrow given elevated levels of capacity utilization in the economy and an outlook that includes uncomfortably high inflation well into next year.

These stocks could continue scoring a win...

Warren Buffett is stepping down as chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year, but he's expertly prepared the terrain for his successor, Greg Abel. At the helm for nearly 60 years, the billionaire has scored market-beating returns -- and he's done this through buying quality stocks and holding on for the long term.

Though Buffett isn't known for investing in technology stocks, he has made exceptions from time to time. This has resulted in the purchase of two technology powerhouses that, together, now make up 23% of his $257 billion portfolio. These players have well-established positions in their markets, delivered earnings growth over time, and seen their share prices climb -- and the good news is that these companies could continue to score a win for investors in the years to come.

Let's take a closer look at these top tech players that have been successful enough to make a nontech but brilliant investor like Buffett sit up and take notice.

Image source: The Motley Fool.

1. Apple (22% of Buffett's portfolio)
Buffett has significantly trimmed his stake in Apple (AAPL 0.45%) over the past year, but even after doing this, it remains the biggest position in the Berkshire Hathaway portfolio. On top of this, in the May shareholder meeting, Buffett thanked Apple chief Tim Cook for the company's performance -- and even joked that Cook has made Berkshire Hathaway more money than he did over the years.

All this suggests that Buffett remains optimistic about Apple's ongoing growth story. It's important to remember that Apple, maker of the world-famous iPhone, has something Buffett greatly appreciates in a company, and that's a solid moat, or competitive advantage. And this is Apple's brand strength -- we can see this as iPhone users eagerly wait for the next version to hit the shelves and choose it over rivals even if the price is higher.

The company recently reported a record year, with revenue for fiscal 2025 reaching $416 billion, and Apple also announced a record September quarter -- revenue rose 8% to reach more than $102 billion.

And one element in particular -- the installed base of active Apple devices hitting an all-time high -- represents the key to future growth. Users of these devices may sign up for a wide range of services from digital entertainment to cloud storage, and this creates recurrent revenue for Apple. So, when a device is sold, the revenue opportunity may be just beginning. Record services revenue quarter after quarter shows that this is indeed happening.

So, this tech giant can offer investors a certain degree of safety thanks to its well-established business and solid moat as well as the ticket to growth over time.

2. Amazon (0.8% of Buffett's portfolio)
Back in 2018, Buffett expressed regret about not getting in on Amazon (AMZN +0.56%) in its earlier days -- then, one of his investment managers in 2019 decided to take the leap. And Buffett hasn't turned back as he continues to hold on to Amazon shares.

Amazon, like Apple, has an impressive moat, and in this case it's the company's extensive fulfillment network, as well as its Prime subscription program. It would be very difficult, and likely impossible, for another player to develop a similar offering and unseat this market giant. Since Amazon improved its cost structure in recent years, it's been able to boost earnings -- and this should continue as a better cost structure supports higher profitability.

The company, thanks to its broad range of sellers and product sourcing options, also hasn't experienced major headwinds from import tariffs. So, the e-commerce structure Amazon has built over the years is showing its strength, and should continue to do so.

Amazon also has become a major player in the world of technology thanks to its cloud computing unit, Amazon Web Services (AWS). In fact, AWS actually drives overall profit at the company, so it is a key part of the business. This is important moving forward: AWS has established itself as a leader in the high-growth artificial intelligence (AI) market, offering AI products and services to its customers. The position has already helped AWS reach a $132 billion annualized revenue run rate, and considering demand for AI, momentum may continue.

So, though Buffett didn't buy Amazon during its earliest days, he's still scoring a win from his later purchase -- and investors who get in on Amazon today may do the same a few years down the road.

Virtus Total Return Fund offers diversified exposure to equities and fixed income, focusing on utilities, energy, and industrials sectors. ZTR trades at an -8.78% discount to NAV, with a 9.32% forward yield, and a recent tender offer presents a potential arbitrage opportunity. The fund's sector-focused strategy has outperformed the S&P 500 in the short term due to the growing demand for electricity.

Quantum computing is still years away, but Nvidia just built the bridge that will bring it closer -- a quiet integration of AI, GPUs, and patience that could shorten the wait for the next computing revolution.

Quantum computing is less a machine than a mission -- a team of scouts sent to explore a landscape too complex to map by sight. Each scout sets out along a different path, testing what's possible in parallel. Together, they can sense many routes at once -- that's the genius of the approach.

The challenge is keeping the team in contact. The radios crackle, the maps blur, and even a shift in weather can scatter their signals. These scouts -- qubits -- are astonishingly sensitive. They can explore multiple directions simultaneously, but the hardware carrying them is still too fragile for the conditions. A breath of heat or a tremor of noise can throw the expedition off course.

So instead of racing ahead, researchers spend most of their time stabilizing the mission: fixing equipment, recalibrating coordinates, and rerunning lost trails. The frontier remains open, but progress comes in slow, careful steps. That patience has defined the field -- until now. And suddenly, the rhythm changed.

A new command post
At its recent D.C. conference, Nvidia (NVDA +0.03%) unveiled technology that could quicken that pace. Its new hybrid system -- NVQLink and CUDA-Q -- acts like a central command post for the scouts. It doesn't ease the terrain, but it strengthens communication.

NVQLink connects quantum processors (the scouts) with today's computing systems (the analysts) at microsecond speed -- orders of magnitude faster than before. CUDA-Q, Nvidia's open-source software layer, lets researchers choreograph that link -- running AI models, quantum algorithms, and error-correction routines together as one system. That jump allows artificial intelligence to monitor the expedition in real time, learning the patterns of interference and correcting them before the team drifts apart.

Why would Nvidia care so much about a field still years from profit? Because whoever builds the bridge first controls the traffic that follows.

It's the difference between reviewing the map after every failed trip and guiding the scouts live as they move. For researchers, that means hundreds of new iterations where there used to be one -- a genuine acceleration of discovery. It's the quiet kind of progress engineers love -- invisible, but indispensable.

Owning the bridge between today and tomorrow
Nvidia didn't build new scouts; it built the infrastructure that keeps them coordinated. Its GPUs (graphics processing units) are already tuned for the dense, parallel calculations these explorations demand, making them the natural partner for any emerging quantum processor.

And that partnership matters. Nvidia's GPUs remain the most widely used AI chips available today, refined by two decades of iteration and supported by the industry's most mature software stack. The CUDA platform gives developers fine-grained control -- the ability to tune workloads, manage memory, and orchestrate timing with precision. That precision is what gives researchers trust; each improvement in control becomes a new kind of progress. In the context of quantum research, that means any new quantum chip can be optimized alongside the fastest general-purpose GPUs on the planet.

Other companies chase better quantum hardware -- superconducting, photonic, trapped-ion -- but all of them need reliable coordination with the computing power we already have. By offering that link, Nvidia turns its GPU ecosystem into the operating environment of hybrid computing, the connective tissue between what exists now and what's coming next.

And because the system is open, every new lab or start-up that connects strengthens Nvidia's position as the default hub for quantum experimentation.

The horizon these scouts are chasing isn't abstract. It's the kind of problem today's computers stumble over -- predicting the behavior of a turbulent atmosphere before a storm forms, modeling molecules to design safer drugs, simulating new materials that could store clean energy or filter carbon from air. Each of those challenges involves trillions of interacting possibilities. Quantum systems, in theory, can explore those possibilities in parallel, finding patterns that would take current technology decades or centuries to compute. Nvidia's faster link doesn't solve those mysteries yet -- it simply means the explorers can search more of the map each day.

Strategic patience
There's also a defensive wisdom in this move. If quantum computing ever matures, it could threaten the same data center model that built Nvidia's empire. CEO Jensen Huang seems intent on making sure that, if the future shifts, Nvidia already sits at its center.

By owning the bridge between today's technology and tomorrow's, the company ensures it earns relevance -- and revenue -- no matter which computing model dominates. Quantum's maturity may still be years away. But the learning curve just steepened -- and Nvidia holds the compass.

The quiet beneficiaries
Even the best explorers need suppliers. Quantum computing's next leap won't come from a single breakthrough, but from the infrastructure that lets quantum and AI work side by side. The companies that stand to benefit first are those already essential to Nvidia's hardware stack -- firms positioned where quantum meets GPU.

TSMC: The fabrication anchor
Every Nvidia GPU and NVQLink controller originates from Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Comany's (TSM 0.95%) leading-edge nodes. Hybrid systems only deepen that reliance through advanced packaging and interconnect design.

No other foundry matches TSMC's yields or scale; hybrid compute extends its dominance.

Micron: The bandwidth supplier
Hybrid workloads move immense volumes of data between GPUs and quantum controllers. Micron's (MU 0.17%) high-speed memory powers the data flow that keeps those systems responsive.

Micron is the only U.S.-based memory manufacturer directly supporting government-backed efforts to build the public-sector half of the hybrid-quantum ecosystem.

What today's high-speed memory does is keep the conversation alive around that fragile state -- the AI models, calibration maps, and feedback loops that tell the qubits what to do next. And as we venture further into the unknown, we'll need a great deal more of it to keep that dialogue going.

Broadcom: The interconnect enabler
Broadcom's (AVGO 1.73%) networking and optical interconnects provide the ultra-low-latency backbone that NVQLink depends on.

Every AI and future hybrid data center flows through Broadcom's connectivity layer; quantum integration magnifies its role.

Precision, bandwidth, and connection are the quiet trinity of hybrid progress.

ASML: The toolmaker behind precision
ASML's (ASML 1.19%) EUV (extreme ultraviolet) lithography powers the control electronics that tie quantum processors -- known as QPUs -- and GPUs together.

There is no replacement for EUV at advanced nodes; hybrid architectures only increase demand for ASML's tools.

For investors, these are the near-term names to watch: companies that already profit from AI infrastructure and now stand to benefit from its quantum extension.

The quiet acceleration
Quantum computing is still a long road. The terrain remains uncertain, the instruments temperamental. But with faster communication and real-time feedback, the scouts can finally move with rhythm instead of hesitation. But for once, the road feels clearly marked.

No one can yet see the full map of this new world. What's changed is how quickly it's being drawn.

And in that quiet acceleration -- not a breakthrough, but a better conversation between explorers -- Nvidia once again found the place where progress hides: in the space between discovery and control.

What this could mean for Nvidia
Nvidia's move isn't about building a quantum computer; it's about owning the bridge every quantum effort will need.

Near term: No revenue surge, but tighter ties with national labs and deep-tech start-ups.
Medium term: The CUDA platform becomes the training ground where AI and quantum learn to work together -- a new moat forming quietly around Nvidia's data center dominance.
Long term: If quantum delivers on climate forecasting, drug discovery, or clean energy materials, Nvidia is positioned to sell the picks, shovels, and maps to every explorer.

In the near term, Nvidia faces no equal hybrid competitor. Long term, IBM and Microsoft are the most credible threats -- one at the hardware-software integration layer, the other at the cloud orchestration layer -- but both are still years from challenging Nvidia's lead in AI-based hybrid compute.

For investors, the takeaway is simple: Quantum remains speculative, but infrastructure usually wins first. Nvidia just made itself indispensable to a field that's still learning to stand -- and that's the kind of patience that compounds.

ARC Resources is launching the first phase of the Attachie Project. A disappointing Attachie well pad and dry gas production shut-ins impacted reported growth. AETUF's year-to-date earnings are on track to surpass last year's total.

These have been amazing growers -- and still have plenty of room to run.

Here comes a new year...and with it, perhaps, a few new stocks for our portfolios. Below, I'm offering a few growth-stock ideas for your consideration.

1. Nvidia
Nvidia (NVDA +0.03%) is already in my portfolio, and despite the fact that it has averaged annual gains of 145% over the past three years, the semiconductor company doesn't look wildly overvalued. That's because it's growing so briskly.

In its second quarter, revenue soared 56% year over year, thanks to great demand for data centers to accommodate artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Nvidia recently became the first stock to reach a $5 trillion valuation.

2. Netflix
Netflix (NFLX +0.60%) has also grown briskly, averaging annual gains of 26% over the past decade. It's grown so much that management has announced a 10-for-1 stock split. (Yes, it will be nice to own 10 times as many shares, but they'll be valued at roughly a tenth of their former price, so the value of an investor's holdings won't change.)

Third-quarter revenue jumped 17% year over year, and its share of TV time in the U.S. has been growing in the past few years. Netflix's shares seem a little overvalued, with a recent price-to-sales ratio of 10.9 well above the five-year average of 6.6, and a forward-looking price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 34 about even with average. So proceed thoughtfully, perhaps buying gradually over time.

Remember that many growth stocks (and ETFs) can fall sharply whenever the market pulls back. So expect some volatility if you're looking for growth stocks. If that makes you nervous, perhaps consider an ETF such as the Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP +0.84%) -- an S&P 500 index fund, holding each of its 500-some components in roughly equal proportion.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles.

Rosen Law Firm achieved, at the time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) defendants engaged in tax fraud; (2) defendants committed bribery to cover up the fact that they committed tax fraud; (3) as a result, defendants understated the legal risk facing RCI Hospitality; and (4) as a result, defendants' statements about its business, operations, and prospects, were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

Solana price saw 5% gains on Sunday, November 9, as heavy on-chain rotations among DeFi protocol users lifted the token above the $165 level for the first time in five days. However, key technical indicators now pose early warning signals of a potential short-term reversal as SOL approaches key resistance near the 20-day moving average.

The Solana price closed above $165 on Sunday, after consolidating below this level since November 5. Its performance aligned with the broader market recovery that saw most top 10-ranked cryptocurrencies post modest gains over the weekend. Bitcoin rose 3% to reclaim $104,000, while Ethereum advanced 6% to trade near $3,900.

Beyond price action, investors demonstrated a preference for Solana in DeFi activity. Citing Defillama data on Sunday, a community contributor, posting as Solanasensie, highlighted on X that Solana’s decentralized exchanges recorded $5.11 billion in daily volumes, surpassing Ethereum’s $3.8 billion and BNB Chain’s $2.95 billion.

Spikes in metrics like DEX volumes during uncertain market phases reflect an intent to rotate capital within Solana-native DeFi protocols, potentially mitigating market downturns with passive yield rather than exiting or holding stablecoins.

This helps keep capital within the ecosystem, as affirmed by Solana’s recent staking data. Between Friday and Sunday, the total SOL stake increased from 414.5 million to 417.4 million, according to StakingRewards.

The 2.9 million SOL staking surge temporarily reduces short-term supply on exchanges, which could insulate Solana price against sharp short-term drawdowns in the coming week.

Strategic traders will look out for fresh institutional inflows or a macro-driven demand catalyst before entering large bets on a convincing Solana price breakout towards the $180 to $200 territories in the week ahead

Solana Price Forecast: 62% Reversal Probability Caps Rally Below $180 Resistance
Solana (SOL) experienced a positive weekend performance, reclaiming the $165 level after five days of consolidation. However, technical indicators on the daily chart suggest that while bullish momentum is building, the recovery may face resistance before breaching the $180 mark.

According to the Breakout Probability (Expo) indicator, Solana currently holds a 29% chance of a bullish breakout toward $180, while the downside probability remains higher at 62%, signaling a potential early pullback toward the $150 support zone.

The Bollinger Bands (BB 20 SMA) indicate tightening volatility, with the middle band at $180.06 acting as immediate resistance and the lower band at $149.58 providing short-term support.

Momentum signals reinforce this cautious outlook. The RSI (14) stands at 40.36, marginally above the oversold territories, suggesting that Solana is still in a fragile zone where sellers may regain control. Meanwhile, the MACD (12, 26) remains in bearish territory, printing negative histogram bars with the signal line at -9.24 and MACD line at -10.92, confirming that selling pressure, though reduced, has yet to reverse convincingly.

Profitability metrics also reveal a moderate bias toward consolidation. The win-to-loss ratio of 1,307 to 733, translating to 64.07% profitability, supports a near-term rebound scenario but warns that gains may be limited until increased spot volumes support Solana’s on-chain activity.

If Solana closes decisively above $170 on strong daily volume, the next target lies near $180, coinciding with the Bollinger midpoint. Conversely, failing to hold $160 could trigger a retest of $150, marked by the lower Bollinger band.

Key Takeaways
What drove Zcash’s recent surge?
Whale long positions and a 9.7% rise in Open Interest reflected renewed trader confidence and stronger buying pressure.

How could ZEC perform next?
Continued accumulation may lift prices toward $803, though rising leverage could spark corrections near the $480 zone.

After years of tight consolidation, Zcash [ZEC] finally broke out of its range, climbing to a new high of $744.

Since touching that level three days ago, the token has seen sharp volatility—rising above $700, dropping to $488, then rebounding past $600. At press time, ZEC traded at $574.92, down 4.42% over the last 24 hours.

Futures data show buy-side dominance
Since Zcash rebounded a month ago, investors’ participation in the Futures market has skyrocketed. As such, Futures Taker CVD remained green throughout the past 30 days, signaling buyers’ dominance. 

Source: CryptoQuant

Thus, most participants in the Futures market were buyers, opening strategic positions, either shorts or longs. 

Lookonchain observed such a buyer. According to the on-chain monitor, a whale bought the dip after ZEC dropped to $509.

This whale deposited $6.27 million into Hyperliquid and placed a limit-long order for 20,800 ZEC, worth $12.12 million. After prices moved higher, the whales’ unrealized profit rose to  $1.51, but closed late, realizing $1.25 million in profit. 

On top of that, investors’ participation in the Futures market has surged significantly. According to CoinGlass, Zcash Open Interest surged 9.77% to $939.31 million, signaling increased capital inflow into futures.

By contrast, Long/Short Ratios on major exchanges confirmed this bullish lean.

CoinGlass data showed the overall 24-hour Long/Short Ratio at 1.0149, while Binance Top Traders’ Positions hit 1.1098, underscoring growing long exposure.

Spot accumulation strengthens the case
Beyond derivatives, on-chain data revealed rising Spot accumulation.

The Accumulation/Distribution (A/D) Line climbed steadily to 5.33 million, signaling consistent buying pressure. Large volumes were added near daily highs, implying active institutional or whale accumulation.

Source: TradingView

In fact, Sequential Pattern Strength has held positive for three consecutive weeks, supporting the argument that the current rally is demand-driven, not speculative.

If these trends hold, ZEC could retest $698 and push toward $803. However, if excessive leverage triggers liquidations, the token might revisit $480 before finding new support.

Key Takeaways
What new feature is Hyperliquid testing?
Hyperliquid is testing a BorrowLendingProtocol (BLP) on its Hypercore testnet.

Why does this matter for traders and DeFi?
A native lending layer could make Hyperliquid a full-stack onchain platform.

Is Hyperliquid [HYPE] broadening its scope?

The exchange is now testing a new borrowing and lending feature on its Hypercore testnet. This would be the platform’s first step into native onchain credit markets.

And after posting over $303 billion in trading volume in October, the timing is hard to ignore.

Is native lending next for Hyperliquid?
Hyperliquid’s latest experiment is a look at how the platform wants trading to work.

A new module (labelled BLP) has appeared on the Hypercore testnet, and early checks show that it is designed for borrowing, supplying and withdrawing assets directly on chain. By the press time, only USDC and PURR show up in testing, but even that limited set indicates a framework is being put in place.

Source: X

If this matures into a native lending layer, margin in the Hyperliquid ecosystem wouldn’t rely on isolated balances. It would sit on real, shared lending pools.

That would push Hyperliquid beyond perpetuals and closer to a full-on-chain market stack.

Hyperliquid stays ahead of the pack

Michael Saylor may be preparing another major Bitcoin purchase as speculation grows around his latest post captioned “₿est continue.” The Strategy founder’s message comes just as Goldman Sachs forecasts a series of interest rate cuts beginning as early as December 2025, a move that could further boost cryptocurrency markets.

Saylor’s company, Strategy, currently holds approximately 641,205 BTC valued at over $65 billion, with an average cost of $74,064 per coin. This leaves the firm sitting on an estimated $18 billion in unrealized gains. His chart, showing 85 Bitcoin acquisitions, highlights a consistent buying strategy through market volatility—including major downturns in 2022—which has helped lower the company’s overall cost basis and cement its status as one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders.

Last week, Strategy added another $21 million worth of Bitcoin to its portfolio. Saylor’s latest post has reignited market chatter that the company could be gearing up for another accumulation phase as Bitcoin trades near $101,000. Meanwhile, open interest in Bitcoin has surged by nearly $700 million following former President Trump’s recent announcement of a proposed $2,000 dividend for Americans funded by tariff revenues. Market analyst Ted (@TedPillows) noted that funding rates have spiked, suggesting an influx of late long positions—an indicator that often signals short-term volatility.

At the macro level, Goldman Sachs’ chief U.S. economist, David Mericle, predicts that the Federal Reserve will reduce rates three times between December 2025 and June 2026, potentially lowering the federal funds rate to 3–3.25%. Lower interest rates typically increase market liquidity and investor risk appetite, a trend historically favorable to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. As of now, Bitcoin is trading at around $103,352, up 1.04% in the past 24 hours, according to TradingView.

In a major XRP development today, Ripple-backed Evernorth Holdings has transferred over 126 million XRP, worth more than $280 million, between two internal wallets — sparking intense speculation among traders and investors across the crypto community.

Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to $104,501, marking a 3% increase within the last hour, as optimism grows over a potential end to the prolonged U.S. government shutdown. The crypto market’s momentum follows a quiet weekend but has reignited amid fresh political developments in Washington.

According to reports, Senate Democrats are moving to pass bipartisan spending bills aimed at reopening the government, which has furloughed about 750,000 federal workers and disrupted several public services. Market observers, including Bitcoin Archive and Walter Bloomberg, noted that a vote could happen as soon as tonight, with a short-term funding deal possibly extending through January 30.

Traders on X (formerly Twitter) are drawing comparisons between the current scenario and the 2019 shutdown resolution, when Bitcoin rallied over 300% following the government’s reopening. Analyst Ash Crypto reminded followers of that historic surge, while others, like Max Crypto, highlighted similar cyclical trends.

However, analysts caution that the correlation may be more sentiment-driven than causal. During the 2018–2019 shutdown, Bitcoin initially fell before recovering in a broader market rebound influenced by post-crypto winter liquidity and improving global risk sentiment.

Today’s environment mirrors some of those dynamics. While U.S. liquidity remains tight and the Federal Reserve maintains a cautious stance, many traders believe political headlines could serve as short-term catalysts for Bitcoin. Roughly $700 million in open interest has recently been added, and rising funding rates suggest an influx of new long positions — a setup that often precedes volatility.

Despite cautionary notes from analysts like Ted, market optimism is returning. If Washington reaches a deal this week, the crypto market could see another strong rally — or at least a relief bounce — reinforcing Bitcoin’s role as a hedge against fiscal uncertainty and a barometer of investor sentiment.
