Market Signal Briefing

SEATTLE, Dec. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Adaptive Biotechnologies Corporation (Nasdaq: ADPT), a commercial stage biotechnology company that aims to translate the genetics of the adaptive immune system into clinical products to diagnose and treat disease, announced growing interventional use of its clonoSEQ® test among the 90 abstracts featuring clonoSEQ data at the 67th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition, taking place Dec. 6–9, 2025, in Orlando. Notably, 17 abstracts utilizing Adaptive’s clonoSEQ® test exemplify how next-generation sequencing-based measurable residual disease (MRD) status is guiding clinical actions to improve blood cancer patient care.

Practice-changing data from the phase II EndRAD study support the use of NGS MRD status prior to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to guide the selection of non-total body irradiation (TBI) conditioning approaches to reduce long-term toxicities in children and young adults with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), without compromising outcomes. The study showed outstanding event-free and overall survival outcomes in 51 patients who were NGS MRD negative and received a non-TBI regimen. The study also enrolled a comparator cohort who received TBI and showed equivalent survival in NGS MRD negative patients who received TBI (the current standard of care) compared to non-TBI approaches (oral presentation, abstract 163).

“For young people facing leukemia, the impact of treatment doesn’t end when therapy does,” said Michael Pulsipher, M.D., Division Chief of Hematology, Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplantation at Primary Children’s Hospital and Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. “The EndRAD results demonstrate that, for NGS MRD-negative patients, we may be able to choose transplant approaches without radiation that support both survival and long-term well-being—an advancement with real, lasting impact for patients and their families.”

Across hematologic malignancies, clonoSEQ MRD status is used by health care providers as an interventional tool to guide clinical decisions at key points in care. The presentations below show how investigators are applying clonoSEQ MRD results to tailor treatment intensity or duration with greater precision.

Multiple Myeloma (MM)

A total of 32 abstracts will be presented (31 MM, one smoldering MM), with a focus on MRD assessment of treatment response, real-world data demonstrating the link between MRD status and clinical outcomes, and several studies describing how clonoSEQ MRD results are being used to guide treatment decisions.A presentation focused on MRD dynamics in the phase III AURIGA study of 200 newly diagnosed MM patients demonstrated that deep MRD responses and sustained MRD negativity correlated with improved progression free survival. The study shows that use of intensified maintenance in MRD-positive patients post-transplant doubled MRD negativity rates (oral presentation, abstract 97). Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL)

Fifteen abstracts in NHL will be presented, focusing on use of MRD to better understand depth of response and to guide therapy.In diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), results from a phase II Wisconsin Oncology Network study which used clonoSEQ to de-escalate therapy in frail older adults with DLBCL will be presented (poster presentation, abstract 1964). Additionally, data supporting the integration of ctDNA into post–CAR T surveillance will be presented (oral presentation, abstract 941).Results from a phase II, MRD-guided study in older mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) patients demonstrate the use of clonoSEQ to guide duration of frontline BOVen therapy (zanubrutinib, obinutuzumab, venetoclax) (oral presentation, abstract 888).
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Seven abstracts utilizing clonoSEQ MRD will be presented, with the majority leveraging the test to assess treatment response and guide treatment discontinuation.Data from a Phase II study of 80 patients with previously untreated CLL showed that time-limited pirtobrutinib, venetoclax, and obinutuzumab (PVO) achieved notably deep and durable remissions based on MRD assessment at a threshold of 10-6. MRD positive status using clonoSEQ was used to identify patients who may continue therapy, highlighting clonoSEQ as a potential tool for guiding treatment duration in this regimen (oral presentation, abstract 680). Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)

In addition to the EndRAD trial, 30 ALL abstracts will be presented describing the use of clonoSEQ to assess treatment response in investigator studies and real-world data, as well as analyses describing comparisons of bone marrow and peripheral blood MRD by clonoSEQ.
“The unprecedented volume and diversity of data at ASH this year further solidifies clonoSEQ’s leadership in the field of blood cancer MRD monitoring,” said Susan Bobulsky, chief commercial officer, MRD, Adaptive Biotechnologies. “Our unmatched body of clinical evidence and real-world patient experience, together with meaningful updates across lymphoid cancer clinical practice guidelines over the past year, reflect clear recognition of the test’s value in accelerating therapeutic progress and strengthening MRD-informed patient management.”

About clonoSEQ®
clonoSEQ® is the first and only FDA-cleared in vitro diagnostic (IVD) test for detecting and tracking minimal (or measurable) residual disease (MRD) in patients with multiple myeloma (MM) or B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) using bone marrow, and in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) using blood or bone marrow. clonoSEQ is also available in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and other lymphoid cancers and specimen types as a CLIA-validated laboratory developed test (LDT). clonoSEQ is covered by Medicare for MM, CLL, ALL, DLBCL and MCL.

clonoSEQ identifies and quantifies DNA sequences in malignant cells—detecting one cancer cell in one million healthy cells—to help clinicians and researchers assess and monitor MRD with precision over time. It delivers standardized, sensitive results that inform treatment decisions, predict outcomes, and detect relapses earlier.

clonoSEQ is CE-marked under the EU In Vitro Diagnostic Regulation (IVDR). For intended use details in the EU, see the instructions for use, available on request. To review the FDA-cleared uses of clonoSEQ, visit clonoSEQ.com/technical-summary.

NEW YORK, Dec. 06, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --

WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of StubHub Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: STUB) pursuant and/or traceable to the Registration Statement issued in connection with StubHub’s September 2025 initial public offering (the “IPO”), of the important January 23, 2026 lead plaintiff deadline.

SO WHAT: If you purchased StubHub common stock you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the StubHub class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48412 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 23, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved, at that 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,  the Registration Statement was materially false and misleading and omitted to state that: (1) StubHub was experiencing changes in the timing of payments to vendors; (2) those changes had a significant adverse impact on free cash flow, including trailing twelve months (“TTM”) free cash flow; (3) as a result, StubHub’s free cash flow reports were materially misleading, and that; (4) as a result of the foregoing, defendants’ positive statements about StubHub’s business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the StubHub class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=48412 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc. (NYSE: ARE) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Alexandria Real Estate, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/alexandria-real-estate-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 26, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Alexandria Real Estate securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California and is captioned Hern v. Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., et al., No. 2:25-cv- 11319.

Why is Alexandria Real Estate Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Alexandria Real Estate is a real estate investment trust. Its tenants are concentrated in life science industries, such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

During the relevant period, Alexandria Real Estate touted its leasing volume and development pipeline, specifically regarding a property in Long Island City, New York, stating that leasing volume was "solid" and its pipeline was "well positioned to capture future demand when expansion needs arise."

As alleged, in truth, Alexandria Real Estate was experiencing lower occupancy rates and slower leasing activity such that it was required to take a real estate impairment charge of $323.9 million with $206 million attributed to its Long Island City property.

Why did Alexandria Real Estate's Stock Drop?

On October 27, 2025, Alexandria Real Estate announced results below expectations for 3Q 2025 and cut guidance for the remainder of the fiscal year. The company attributed the results to lower occupancy rates and slower leasing activity. It also announced a real estate impairment charge of $323.9 million with $206 million attributed to its Long Island City property, stating that the property was not a life science destination that could scale. Alexandria Real Estate also announced additional impairment charges that may be recognized in 4Q 25 ranging from $0 to $685 million. This news caused the price of Alexandria Real Estate stock to drop $14.93 per share, or more than 19%, from a closing price of $77.87 per share on October 27, 2025, to $62.94 per share on October 28, 2025.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a lawsuit has been filed against MoonLake Immunotherapeutics (NASDAQ: MLTX) and certain of the Company's senior executives for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in MoonLake, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/moonlake-immunotherapeutics-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until December 15, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in MoonLake common stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and is captioned Peters v. MoonLake Immunotherapeutics, et al., No. 1:25-cv-08612.

Why Was MoonLake Sued for Securities Fraud?

MoonLake is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing therapies for inflammatory diseases. During the relevant period, MoonLake conducted highly anticipated Phase 3 VELA trials for sonelokimab ("SLK"), an investigational therapeutic designed to treat adult participants with moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa ("HS").

MoonLake told investors that its "strong clinical data," including results from its Phase 2 MIRA trial, translate into "higher clinical responses for patients, and provide ample opportunity for differentiation of sonelokimab versus all competitors." The Company also stated that SLK's Nanobody structure differed in beneficial ways from traditional monoclonal antibody treatments from its competitors.

As alleged, in truth, the Company's clinical data and Nanobody structure did not confer a superior clinical benefit over its competitors, calling into question the drug's chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability.

The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed

On September 28, 2025, MoonLake reported its week 16 results of the VELA Phase 3 trials. The Company reported disappointing results for both trials, with VELA-2 failing to meet its primary endpoint, calling into question the drug's chances for regulatory approval and commercial viability. On this news, the price of MoonLake stock fell $55.75 per share, or nearly 90%, from $61.99 per share on September 26, 2025, to $6.24 per share on September 29, 2025, the following trading day.

(NYSE: INSP) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Inspire, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/inspire-medical-systems-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 5, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Inspire stock. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota and is captioned City of Pontiac Reestablished General Employees' Retirement System v. Inspire Medical Systems, Inc., et al., No. 0:25-cv-04247.

Why is Inspire Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Inspire develops and manufactures an implantable medical device for the treatment of sleep apnea. The latest version of the device is the Inspire V. The company announced FDA approval of Inspire V on August 2, 2024.

During the relevant period, Inspire repeatedly assured investors that it had taken all necessary steps to facilitate the launch of Inspire V and that it would launch the device as soon as sufficient inventory was available to meet supposedly high demand.

As alleged, in truth, Inspire failed to take basic steps to prepare clinicians and payors for the rollout, resulting in significant delays in adoption of the device. Moreover, the launch suffered from weak demand, as many customers already had excess inventory of the company's older devices.

Why did Inspire's Stock Drop?

On August 4, 2025, Inspire disclosed that the Inspire V launch was facing an "elongated timeframe" and as a result, it was reducing its 2025 earnings per share guidance by more than 80%. The company attributed the longer timeframe to a number of previously undisclosed factors including that many implanting centers "did not complete the training, contracting and onboarding required prior to the purchase and implant of Inspire V," that certain "software updates for claims submissions and processing did not take effect until July 1, [2025]" which meant implanting centers could not bill for procedures until that date, and that demand for the Inspire V was poor because Inspire's customers had a backlog of older versions of the company's device.

On this news, the price of Inspire stock dropped $42.04 per share, or more than 32%, from $129.95 per share on August 4, 2025, to $87.91 per share on August 5, 2025.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against James Hardie Industries plc (NYSE: JHX) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after a significant stock drop resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in James Hardie, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/james-hardie-industries-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until December 23, 2025, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in James Hardie common stock (formerly American Depositary Shares). The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and is captioned Laborers' District Council and Contractors' Pension Fund of Ohio v. James Hardie Industries plc, et al., No. 1:25-cv-13018.

Why Was James Hardie Sued for Securities Fraud?

James Hardie is a producer and marketer of high-performance fiber cement building solutions. The largest application for the Company's fiber cement building products in the United Stated and Canada is in external siding for the residential building industry.

During the relevant period, James Hardie told investors that the results of its North American fiber cement segment demonstrated its "inherent strength" and "the underlying momentum in our strategy." The Company also stated on May 20, 2025, that it was seeing "normal stock levels" among its customers and that it was "seeing performance in the month to date as we would expect."

As alleged, in truth, the Company's North American sales during the relevant period were the result of inventory loading by channel partners, with the hallmarks of fraudulent channel stuffing, not sustainable customer demand as represented.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - December 6, 2025) - Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) and certain of the Company's senior executives for securities fraud after significant stock drops resulting from the potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Stride, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/stride-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until January 12, 2026, to ask the Court to be appointed to lead the case. The complaint asserts claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 on behalf of investors in Stride securities. The case is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and is captioned MacMahon v. Stride, Inc., et al., No. 1:25-cv- 02019.

Why is Stride Being Sued for Securities Fraud?

Stride is an education technology company that provides an online platform to students throughout the U.S. During the relevant period, Stride stated it was seeing "increasing growth in our business," "in-year strength in demand" for its products and services, and that its customers and potential customers "continue to choose us in record numbers."

As alleged, in truth, Stride had inflated enrollment numbers by retaining "ghost students," ignored compliance requirements for its employees, and had "poor customer experience" that resulted in "higher withdrawal rates," "lower conversion rates," and had driven students away.

Why did Stride's Stock Drop?

On September 14, 2025, a report stated that a complaint had been filed against Stride for fraud, deceptive trade practices, systemic violations of law, and intentional and tortious misconduct. It claimed Stride inflated enrollment numbers by retaining "ghost students" on rolls to secure state funding and ignored compliance requirements, including background checks and licensure laws for its employees. This news caused the price of Stride stock to drop $18.60 per share, or more than 11%, from a closing price of $158.36 per share on September 12, 2025, to $139.76 per share on September 15, 2025.

Then, on October 28, 2025, Stride admitted that "poor customer experience" resulted in "higher withdrawal rates," "lower conversion rates," and drove students away. Stride estimated the impact caused approximately 10,000-15,000 fewer enrollments and stated that, because of this, its outlook is "muted" compared to prior years. This news caused the price of Stride stock to drop $83.48 per share, or more than 54%, from a closing price of $153.53 per share on October 28, 2025, to $70.05 per share on October 29, 2025.

Ethereum Price remains steady at $3,000 as the cryptocurrency market experiences a minor cooldown over the last 24 hours. ETH saw a 4% decline during this period, following a broader bearish trend in the market. 

The cryptocurrency fell below the mark of $3,100 support, which indicated the possibility of additional downward force. All in all, the crypto market has experienced a decrease of 3% and 10% in the last day and 30 days, respectively.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is at its lowest point of 21, which is a sign of high fear, and it causes certain liquidations. The slowdown is an embodiment of institutional drain, regulatory issues, and technical failures. Interestingly, Spot Bitcoin ETFs have experienced outflows of up to $2.7 billion since November of this year.

Bitmine Continues Aggressive Ethereum Purchases
Bitmine, which is headed by Tom Lee, has taken further cause in the cryptocurrency market, buying an additional 22,676 Ethereum (68.67 million) today. With this purchase, the total amount of Ethereum that Bitmine has bought is 64,622 ETH worth an eye-blowing $199.4 million, all in the last 24 hours.

The last transaction, which was registered only some hours ago involved 22,676 ETH moved out of the Hot Wallet of BitGo into the wallet of Bitmine.

🚨BITMINE KEEPS ON BUYING ETH!

That brings total purchases to 64,622 $ETH ($199.4M) since yesterday. pic.twitter.com/eUYiY8YpEA

Since Ethereum price is oscillating, the aggressive approach of Bitmine proves that this company believes in the future of ETH. The fact that such a great number of Ethereum can be collected in such a short time underlines the leading position of Bitmine on the market.

Ethereum Price Prediction: Will $3,000 Hold or Drop to $2,800?
Cryptocurrency analysts provided an update on the Ether price move and stated that the token is holding steady above the $3,000 mark. Nonetheless, a drop in the price of Ethereum to a level lower than this critical value, the Ethereum may drop to the support zone of $2,800.

The analyst stressed that Ethereum is at a crucial point at the level of $3,000 when it comes to its price dynamics in the immediate future. The break is below, the traders ought to be keen on a possible fall to the level of $2,800, which is a major level of support.

Key Levels To Watch
The ETH price hovered at $3,031 on Saturday, showing mixed signals as it continued to trade within a narrow range. The price could not break the most significant level of resistance of $3,100, and could not break the latest level of support of $3,300.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicated a bearish crossover. The MACD line went down the signal line, giving an indication of further downward movement.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 46, which is far below the 50 level. If the Ethereum long-range prediction manages to breach the $3,100 mark, it could retest the $3,300 resistance.

On the other hand, a continued dip below $3,000 may push the price further down, opening the door for potential bearish targets in the coming days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Pi Network continues to struggle for momentum even as major cryptocurrencies rebound. While Bitcoin has climbed back above $94,000 and Ethereum has moved beyond $3,200 in early December, PI has gone in the opposite direction. The token is down about 12% this week and is trading slightly above $0.22, highlighting weak sentiment in the short term.

But behind the scenes, the Pi team is rolling out one of its most significant upgrades yet—an improvement they believe will finally ease verification delays and help millions move toward Mainnet.

Pi Network AI Upgrade Cuts KYC Delays To help users who are stuck in the verification queue, Pi Network has revamped its KYC system with new AI-powered tools. According to the team, these updates have reduced pending manual reviews by 50%, speeding up the process for users trying to become Mainnet-ready.

The upgrade relies on the same automated technology used in Fast Track KYC, introduced in September to help new users set up Mainnet wallets without completing 30 mining sessions. Fast Track is no longer a separate shortcut; it is now fully merged into the Standard KYC process, creating a simpler and more consistent verification flow.

This change comes at a crucial time for the project.

Pi Token Unlock December Pi Network is preparing for a December unlock of 190 million tokens—worth more than $40 million at current prices. With millions still waiting for verification, the team is trying to avoid potential congestion during one of its biggest events of the year.

The latest AI upgrades also make the verification system flexible enough for future use. Apps built within the Pi ecosystem may eventually rely on Pi’s human-verified identity layer, giving the KYC system broader utility beyond Mainnet migration.

Progress on Validator Rewards and a Growing EcosystemThe Pi team also announced progress on long-awaited validator rewards, which are expected to go live by the end of Q1 2026. The delay is due to the massive amount of network data collected since 2021 that still needs to be processed.

So far, 17.5 million users have passed KYC and 15.7 million have reached Mainnet. Around 3 million users still need to complete additional steps, and the team is encouraging them to finish soon.

In addition to technical upgrades, Pi Network has recently entered the EU’s MiCA regulatory framework, giving it a stronger foothold in Europe. It has also partnered with CiDi Games to integrate Pi into Web3 gaming experiences, creating more ways for Pioneers to engage with the ecosystem.

Despite the recent price decline, Pi Network is moving through one of its most important growth phases, and the December unlock will test how prepared the project truly is.

FAQsHow does Pi Network’s AI KYC upgrade work?

The AI KYC system reduces pending manual reviews by 50%, speeding up verification and making it easier to reach Mainnet.

What happens to my mined PI if I miss the December 2025 token unlock deadline?

Nothing bad—your balance stays safe forever. You just can’t transfer or sell it until you finish KYC and migrate to Mainnet. The unlock only adds new tokens to circulation; it doesn’t burn un-migrated coins.

Why does Pi Coin have almost no trading volume compared to other altcoins?

Because 95%+ of the supply is still locked behind KYC and Mainnet migration. Real liquid supply is tiny right now—once the remaining 30–40 million users migrate in 2026, daily volume could explode overnight.

If I finish KYC today, how long until I actually get my coins on Mainnet in December 2025?

With the new AI upgrade, most new KYC submissions are clearing in 3–14 days (sometimes same day). If you pass before mid-December, you’ll very likely receive your full balance before or during the 190 million token unlock.

Recent data suggest XRP ETFs are among the fastest-growing crypto-asset vehicles, surpassing the $1 billion milestone in under a month, indicating significant acceptance in traditional finance markets.

November saw a flood of XRP ETFs with Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, Bitwise and Grayscale launching in the month. Amplify ETFs, which manages more than $16 billion in assets under management, also launched an XRP covered-call ETF, referred to as the first XRP-based option income ETF.

Rex Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) launched earlier in September as the first U.S. listed XRP ETF, albeit under the 40 act wrapper.

HOT Stories

$1 billion reachedXPMarket, an XRP Ledger-based platform that tracks existing and upcoming spot and leveraged XRP ETFs, reveals the latest milestone achieved by XRP funds.

In a tweet, XPMarket stated that XRP ETFs have surpassed $1 billion in holdings in less than a month.

XPMarket tracks XRP spot ETFs, including Rex Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR), Bitwise XRP ETF (XRP), Canary XRP ETF (XRPC), Franklin XRP ETF (XRPZ), Grayscale XRP trust (GXRP) and Amplify XRP ETF (XRPM).

The platform also tracks leveraged XRP ETFs, including Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP (XXRP), 2x XRP ETF (XRPT) and Volatility Shares XRP ETF (XRPI).

What's coming?XRP ETFs continue to attract inflows, sustaining their strong post-launch run. XRP funds, including those from Canary Capital, Grayscale, Bitwise and Franklin Templeton, accounted for a total net inflow of $897.35 million, according to SoSo data, indicating XRP's acceptance and liquidity in traditional finance markets.

XPMarkets says that the best part of XRP ETF growth is that these are only a fraction of funds that have gone live.

In the days ahead, 21Shares, CoinShares and WisdomTree are expected to roll out their own XRP exchange-traded funds.

XPMarkets noted that while BlackRock and Fidelity have launched BTC and ETH ETFs, these titans are yet to launch XRP ETFs, indicating vast potential ahead for XRP.

"XRP ETF engines seem to just be starting up whilst we wait for the titans to jump in," XPMarkets wrote.

TLDR:

SUI trades above a major Fibonacci zone, keeping the chart structure intact for potential upward movement.
Buyers defended the $1.18–$1.57 region, forming a rebound that may support a broader recovery trend.
Wedge compression signals an upcoming decisive move as price meets descending resistance and rising support.
Rising trading volumes and new ETF filings increase attention as SUI attempts to stabilize for a breakout.

SUI trades at a point where its long-term trajectory depends heavily on the strength of its chart structure. 

Market participants are watching whether the recent rebound above the $1.18 zone can support another push toward higher levels after weeks of compression. The asset sits in a range where buyers have re-engaged, and the broader market continues to assess whether this reaction is the start of a larger trend shift. 

The discussion now centers on whether SUI can turn its current position into the foundation for a move that keeps the possibility of $10 within sight.

Technical Conditions Shaping the $10 Narrative
SUI Eyes $10 hopes as the asset stays above the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level near $1.18, a zone many traders consider a crucial defense line. 

Crypto Patel noted that SUI bounced firmly from the $1.18–$1.57 region, signaling renewed buying interest. This area also aligns with a rising diagonal trendline that continues to support the broader bullish structure.

The price now rests inside a wedge pattern created by the long-term descending resistance from the $5.34 peak and the rising support trendline. 

This convergence typically precedes a decisive move, and SUI sits near the point of compression. Market watchers believe that sustained trading above $1.18 keeps the bullish scenario intact.

If momentum extends, the next checkpoints appear near $2.10 and $2.70.

These areas represent prior reaction zones and could guide early upside movement. However, failure to hold $1.18 would expose the deeper support at $0.78, which carries a different outlook for those anticipating a strong continuation.

Market Volume and ETF Activity Strengthen the Spotlight
Trading activity around SUI increased notably during the recent consolidation phase, adding relevance to the current support test. 

Marc Shawn Brown shared that SUI generated $262 million in daily DEX volume, suggesting consistent on-chain engagement. The $703 million in daily derivatives activity reflected active hedging and speculative positioning as the asset traded near support.

Institutional developments also entered the conversation as the market evaluated SUI’s technical setup. 

Grayscale filed new paperwork in the U.S. to list a SUI ETF, following the recent debut of the first SUI-based ETF on Nasdaq by 21Shares. These moves brought additional attention to the asset during its consolidation phase.

While ETF efforts do not guarantee a price reaction, they coincide with the period when SUI Eyes $10 ambitions depend on chart strength and market follow-through. 

With support holding for now, traders continue to monitor whether the combination of volume, structure, and institutional interest sets the stage for a broader breakout.

Aster has revealed its first-half 2026 roadmap, outlining major upgrades across infrastructure, token utility, and ecosystem development. The plan follows a milestone-packed 2025 and prepares the platform for its transition into a full-fledged DeFi network.

Bitcoin’s [BTC] pace has softened, and the market suddenly feels quieter than it has in months.

Big buyers aren’t adding much, long-term holders (LTH) aren’t selling heavily, and the price has slipped below key levels. We’re in a tight spot, and we could go sideways next.

Or… is this the start of something bigger?

The first sign of weakness
Bitcoin’s uptrend is losing strength, and here’s the first sign: the slowdown in dolphin balance growth (wallets holding between 100 and 1,000 BTC).

According to CryptoQuant’s Julio Moreno, these addresses added as much as 965,000 BTC year-over-year at the peak. At the time of writing, that growth has slipped to 694,000 BTC.

Source: CryptoQuant

This cohort includes ETFs and public companies, meaning some of the market’s most influential buyers have paused their activity. When the very group that fueled the rally stops accumulating, it becomes harder for Bitcoin to climb higher.

For now, the strongest buyers are stepping back.

This slowdown comes at a time when corporate treasuries holding Bitcoin are under visible strain.

The combined market cap of major BTC‑heavy firms such as MSTR, Metaplanet, XXI, and others has dropped sharply, falling from around $152 billion in mid‑July to just $73.5 billion.

Source: X

Despite that, these companies are holding their Bitcoin positions steady even as the market tests them.

OG sellers step back
Building on that slowdown, the OG cohort have also pulled back on their selling. The 90-day daily average of spent UTXOs from coins older than five years has dropped from roughly 2,350 BTC to around 1,000 BTC.

Source: X

These coins were originally purchased for around $30,000, and when they move, it is typically to sell. With their activity now reduced, one of the market’s largest sources of selling pressure is beginning to ease.

Even more importantly, each cycle’s STXO peaks from this group are getting smaller, so LTHs are becoming less reactive as the cycle matures.

At a crossroads
With selling pressure cooling, the focus is now on where Bitcoin goes next… and the charts aren’t offering much comfort.

BTC has already slipped below the $89,800 level, a key zone many traders were watching closely.

According to Joao Wedson of Alphractal, losing this support raises the odds of a broader sideways phase, especially as Bitcoin also failed to hold important on-chain levels. The critical line now sits at $86,500.

If BTC breaks below it, Wedson warns the next stop could be $80,500. This move would be a new local low but could also set up a cleaner long for patient traders.

Final Thoughts

Bitcoin is drifting into volatility, and the next move depends on whether $86,500 holds.
Corporate treasuries sitting on $73.5B in underwater BTC could become the cycle’s wildcard.

Federal prosecutors are demanding a 12-year prison sentence for Terraform Labs co-founder Do Kwon for orchestrating the fraud that triggered TerraUSD’s catastrophic $40 billion collapse in 2022.

According to Bloomberg, the government described Kwon’s crimes as “colossal in scope” in a Thursday filing before US District Judge Paul Engelmayer, pointing to cascading market failures that ultimately contributed to FTX’s downfall.

Kwon will face sentencing on December 11, with his own legal team requesting just five years behind bars.

The 34-year-old South Korean entrepreneur pleaded guilty in August to conspiracy and wire fraud charges under an agreement capping prosecutorial recommendations at 12 years.

However, the statutory maximum reaches 25 years for his role in the algorithmic stablecoin fraud.

Source: Financial TimesProsecutors Highlight Systemic Market DamageThe Justice Department’s sentencing memorandum emphasizes that Kwon’s fraudulent statements to customers triggered a chain reaction across cryptocurrency markets.

Prosecutors specifically cited the collapse’s contribution to Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX implosion as evidence of broader systemic damage beyond Terra’s immediate investor losses.

Kwon admitted in court that between 2018 and 2022, he “knowingly agreed to participate in a scheme to defraud purchasers of cryptocurrencies” from Terraform Labs.

He acknowledged making false statements about TerraUSD’s peg restoration mechanisms and concealing Jump Trading’s secret role in propping up the stablecoin during a May 2021 depeg event that foreshadowed the larger catastrophe.

The timing carries added significance, as the Trump administration has largely eased the tough-on-crypto enforcement actions, as the Biden administration did before.

Most recently, President Donald Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao on October 23 after his conviction for anti-money laundering program failures at the world’s largest crypto exchange.

Although the administration defended the pardon, claiming it was reviewed “with the utmost seriousness.”

Defense Cites Montenegro Detention and Dual ProsecutionKwon’s attorneys argue that nearly three years in what they describe as “brutal conditions in Montenegro” should factor heavily into sentencing calculations.

His legal team emphasizes that more extended imprisonment proves “far greater than necessary” to achieve justice, particularly given the substantial punishment already endured during extended foreign detention.

The defense filing highlights Kwon’s agreement to forfeit over $19 million and multiple properties under the plea deal reached with prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

His lawyers further note that Kwon still faces trial in South Korea for identical conduct, where prosecutors are seeking a 40-year prison term that creates additional consequences warranting consideration in the American sentence.

Prosecutors notably aren’t pursuing restitution from the millions of investors who lost $40 billion, citing the excessive complexity of determining individual losses across global markets.

US authorities have indicated they will support Kwon serving the second half of his sentence in South Korea if he complies with the plea terms and qualifies under international transfer programs.

Sentencing Disparities Raise Deterrence QuestionsThe contrasting approaches to major crypto fraud cases have sparked debate over the consistency of punishment.

Bankman-Fried received 25 years, plus an $11 billion restitution order, after a trial conviction on all counts, though recent reports indicate that four years were later reduced from that sentence.

Kwon’s guilty plea significantly reduced his exposure despite Terra’s larger $40 billion loss compared to FTX’s $8 billion fraud.

Legal experts note that federal sentencing guidelines for fraud at Terra’s magnitude would typically suggest advisory ranges approaching life imprisonment before statutory caps, making Kwon’s five-year request face steep odds.

The Judge handling his case, Engelmayer, is known for the strict handling of financial fraud cases, and most observers expect sentences of 15 to 20 years, given the massive victim impact.

The December 11 hearing will determine whether cooperation through guilty pleas significantly reduces punishment compared to trial convictions, as in Bankman-Fried’s case.

Kwon was arrested in Montenegro in March 2023 while traveling under a fake passport, triggering a lengthy extradition battle between US and South Korean authorities.

He spent nearly two years detained in the Balkan nation before being sent to America in January, where his case became one of the most closely watched legal battles in cryptocurrency’s brief history.

XRP benefited from a number of tailwinds in 2025, but the digital token is struggling to maintain its momentum.

Not all cryptocurrencies have a legitimate purpose, so they lack an organic source of demand, which is why they often suffer extreme volatility and struggle to maintain their gains.

XRP (XRP 2.01%) is one of the exceptions because it was created as a bridge currency for the Ripple Payments network, which allows banks to send money around the world instantly, and with negligible costs.

Ripple scored a big regulatory win in the U.S. earlier this year, which was a key reason XRP soared to a seven-year high. But that momentum quickly faded, and the token is trading at about $2.10 as I write this, which is more than 40% below its recent peak of $3.65.

The Trump administration is likely to continue offering regulatory support for the crypto industry in 2026, and Ripple Payments should also experience further growth. With those tailwinds in mind, could XRP cross the milestone price of $5 per coin next year?

Ripple is no longer fighting the Securities and Exchange Commission
The global financial system is very sophisticated, but not every bank uses the same payment infrastructure. Therefore, banks in some countries need to use intermediaries when sending money across borders, which creates delays and adds costs. Ripple Payments solves this problem by allowing banks to communicate with one another directly no matter what existing infrastructure they use, which facilitates instant transfers.

XRP was designed to standardize each transaction. For example, a Japanese bank can send XRP tokens to a European bank instead of sending Japanese yen, which eliminates expensive foreign exchange fees. The transaction in XRP can cost as little as 0.00001 tokens, or a fraction of $0.01.

The cryptocurrency has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, with 60.3 billion in circulation, and the other 39.7 billion in the custody of Ripple, which gradually releases them to meet demand from institutions. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) took issue with this arrangement and sued Ripple in 2020. The agency argued that XRP should be classified as a financial security just like a stock, bond, or any other financial instrument issued by a company.

This could have derailed Ripple's business model by forcing the company to operate under strict regulations. Fortunately, a judge issued a ruling mostly in favor of Ripple in August 2024, and in August 2025, the SEC agreed to drop all pending appeals, which effectively ended the five-year legal battle. The recent decision was part of the Trump administration's pro-crypto agenda, which aims to foster innovation in this sector.

Why XRP's latest rally is stalling
Despite hitting a seven-year high in the lead-up to the SEC settlement, XRP struggled to maintain its momentum, and its recent downside might be a sign of things to come.

Banks actually don't have to use XRP to benefit from instant cross-border transactions through Ripple Payments, because the network also supports the use of fiat currency. That means even if the network continues to grow, it won't necessarily fuel demand for XRP, which could limit further upside.

Plus, Ripple launched its own stablecoin, called RippleUSD, last year, which is much better suited for payments because it offers practically zero volatility. The value of XRP can swing violently from day to day, exposing banks to sharp losses even during very brief holding periods.

A $5 price might be a tall order for XRP in 2026
At the current price of $2.10 per token, XRP has a fully diluted market capitalization of $210 billion. If it were to rise to $5, its market cap would climb to $500 billion, making it the world's second most-valuable cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin, which has a market cap of $1.8 trillion. In other words, $5 per token isn't necessarily unrealistic.

However, it's unclear whether there is a catalyst capable of driving XRP to that milestone, especially if it becomes progressively less relevant as a payment mechanism. During the past 12 months, the number of daily active addresses (unique users) on the XRP Ledger has plunged. There were just 5,980 active addresses as of the most recent data on Dec. 3, down significantly from a peak of more than 105,000 addresses last December.

XRP lost over 90% of its value within 12 months of hitting its all-time high in 2018, and that was long before the SEC formally cracked down on Ripple's practices. Another decline of that magnitude isn't out of the question considering the token is already down more than 40% from its most recent record high.

As a result, I wouldn't bank on XRP hitting $5 in 2026. If anything, it could be heading much lower from here.
