Market Signal Briefing

The move positions Coinbase to capture more of the Solana ecosystem’s growth.

Key Takeaways

Coinbase is continuing its aggressive 2025 acquisition streak with a deal to purchase Vector, a Solana-based decentralized exchange.
This marks Coinbase’s ninth deal of the year, following major buys such as Deribit and Echo.

Coinbase said Friday it is acquiring Vector, a mobile-first social trading application focusing on meme coin trading, to enhance its onchain trading capabilities.

Vector’s infrastructure, which can detect and support new Solana assets instantly, will integrate directly into Coinbase’s DEX trading features.

With Solana’s DEX volume surpassing $1 trillion in 2025, the acquisition aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to build the “everything exchange” by expanding asset access, improving speed and liquidity, and strengthening its presence in high-activity ecosystems.

The deal is expected to close by year-end.

This is a developing story.

While spot Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are facing some of the biggest daily outflows since they launch, two new altcoin products are bucking the trend.

Despite the broader market rout, Solana (SOL) and XRP (XRP) ETFs have yet to record a single outflow day since launch, according to crypto ETF data aggregator SoSoValue. This makes the two altcoin ETFs rare green marks in an otherwise red ETF landscape.

The inflows are becoming substantial. Data shows that Solana-based spot ETFs have accumulated nearly $500 million in net inflows, while XRP ETFs have seen $410 million in cumulative net inflows to date. 

The divergence comes amid one of the most severe multi-week outflow streaks in spot Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH) ETF history. While flagship crypto products are seeing large-scale redemptions, steady inflows into new ETFs suggest a small but notable hint of conviction among investors exploring exposure beyond the two largest assets.

Source: Farside InvestorsXRP and Solana ETFs log consistent inflows amid market stressOn Thursday, Bitwise Asset Management launched its XRP ETF under the ticker “XRP.” The ETF made a strong debut, pulling in $105 million on its first trading day, according to SoSoValue data.

Asset manager Canary’s XRPC added another $12.8 million on Thursday, bringing total inflows to $118 million on the day. 

Canary CEO Steven McClurg congratulated Bitwise on the launch, saying that they’re “rooting” for them despite being competitors in the space. 

Source: Steven McClurgCanary has also contributed to the consistency of XRP ETF inflows. It currently holds the record for the largest XRP ETF inflow day, pulling in $243 million in inflows on Nov. 14 for XRPC. 

Solana-based ETFs displayed a similar pattern of resilience, recording consistent daily inflows even as the broader markets declined.

SOL-based ETF products attracted between $8.26 million and $55.61 million per day this week, with Nov. 19 marking the strongest daily inflow. 

Solana and XRP tokens are in the red despite ETF gainsDespite the steady gains posted by SOL and XRP-based ETFs, the underlying assets behind the exchange-traded products saw poor performances in the past month. 

Solana declined by 32.5% in the past month and 10.9% in the last week, according to CoinGecko data. At the time of writing, the token trades at $122.94, representing a 52.3% decline in the last year.

However, its yearly chart tells a different story. The asset currently trades at $1.86, representing a 49.9% increase over the past year, according to CoinGecko.

Large holders of Stellar (XLM) appear to be in panic mode as the asset has slipped by over 10% in the last 24 hours. Within this time frame, Stellar whales have moved over 162.35 million XLM to the Coinbase exchange, a development that suggests possible dumping on the market.

Stellar whale activity sparks sell-off concernsAs per Whale Alert, a platform that tracks large holders’ transactions, this large volume of transfers to the exchange occurred in three tranches. The first transfer was of 54,180,378 XLM, worth about $12,067,815.

The other two transfers were 53,986,016 XLM valued at $12,024,524 and 54,180,378 XLM worth $12,133,131. All three transfers were initiated from unknown wallets to Coinbase. Two of the transactions occurred within the space of 60 seconds, while the third followed 20 seconds later.

The volume and direction of the movement suggest that these Stellar whales might be positioning to sell the asset. Such a development could increase the selling pressure that XLM is currently facing. The coin has slipped in value as investors offload it on the crypto market.

The asset crashed from a daily high of $0.2530 to hit a bottom price of $0.2223 as sell pressure impacted the outlook. As of press time, Stellar managed a slight uptick and exchanged hands at $0.2242, which represents a 10.61% decline within the period.

Despite the price plunge and whale action, market participants are still trading XLM in large volume. The trading volume has jumped by 58.36% to $291.64 million. This indicates that retail investors could see this as a buy opportunity.

Over the next couple of hours, more whale Stellar transactions were spotted on Coinbase, signaling an obvious reorganization. 

With time, this XLM shift could reveal if the whale action could trigger more concerns and reverse the trading metrics from green to the red zone.

Stellar loses ground in market rankingsIn the broader Stellar ecosystem, there are concerns about the performance of XLM. Many had anticipated the coin would ride on the legal clarity provided by XRP’s legal battle to appreciate in utility. 

However, neither XRP nor XLM has improved much in value since then.

In a recent move that stunned the community, privacy token Zcash (ZEC) flipped XLM in market capitalization. Zcash is now ranked 12th, while Stellar has slipped to 17th place in the market rankings, according to CoinMarketCap.

While Zcash appreciated by 126.5% in the last 30 days, Stellar has shed 27.98% within the same time frame. The continued bearish momentum of XLM on the market remains a source of worry for investors in the asset.

Bitcoin continues to bleed, printing new local lows as the market fails to find strong support. The broader structure has broken down, and sellers remain in control after a series of distribution moves near the highs. Despite oversold signals creeping in, the lack of a proper futures capitulation keeps risk to the downside open.

By Shayan

The Daily Chart
On the daily timeframe, BTC has officially broken below the long-standing ascending channel that held price action for months. After the 50-day moving average crossed below the 200-day moving average, forming a death cross, the price accelerated downward.

Support levels around $100K and $86K were easily breached, and BTC is now moving toward the next demand zone near $76K. The RSI is also sitting deep in oversold territory, but there has not been a sharp reversal candle or volume spike that typically follows capitulation. Therefore, more downside could be expected in the short term.

The 4-Hour Chart
Zooming into the 4-hour chart, the trend has been locked inside a clean descending channel. However, BTC broke below the lower boundary recently, showing strong momentum from the sellers. Minor attempts to bounce have been weak and short-lived, leaving their marks as candle wicks only.

Any retest of the $85K zone may now act as resistance, as it has been broken to the downside. With the RSI hovering near 20 in oversold territory and showing multiple failed recovery attempts, short-term momentum remains clearly bearish unless a deviation back into the channel with strong volume materializes.

Sentiment Analysis
Funding Rates
Funding rates across exchanges are still hovering in positive territory, despite the aggressive drop in price. This disconnect shows that many traders are still holding long positions, potentially waiting for a bounce.

It’s an important signal: the market has not gone through full liquidation or capitulation yet. A true bottom in Bitcoin is often marked by negative funding rates and a sharp spike in liquidations. Until that happens, downside pressure could persist, and any relief rallies might be sold into.

What a violent rollercoaster of a day has been for BTC.

The massive volatility in the cryptocurrency markets continues, as bitcoin rebounded by over three grand after plunging below $81,000 to mark a new seven-month low just an hour ago.

The most evident reason behind this immediate increase is related to the US Federal Reserve. The President of the New York branch, John Williams, brought some hope back on the rate cut horizon, indicating that the central bank can indeed lower them “in the near term.”

Although he admitted that inflation progress has “temporarily stalled,” he believes there’s a way for the Fed to lower the rates again soon and also aim for the 2% long-term goal.

“I view monetary policy as being modestly restrictive…Therefore, I still see room for further adjustment in the near term to the target range for the federal funds rate to move the stance of policy closer to the range of neutral, thereby maintaining the balance between the achievement of our two goals,” he concluded.

His remarks came after reports claiming that the central bank might not lower the rates during its December meeting, due to the delayed economic data for October and November.

US Fed Rate Decision on Polymarket

The odds on Polymarket also displayed the recent changes, as the no-rate-cut option had skyrocketed to over 60% in the past few days. However, the roles reversed after Williams’ speech, and now the 25 bps cut option is up to 62%.

Bitcoin also priced in his words immediately, going from its multi-month low of $80,600 to $84,000 in minutes, where it faced some resistance. Nevertheless, the asset has been falling hard for the past few weeks, going from over $107,000 on November 11 to the aforementioned low of under $81,000.

Summarize this article with:

In just 24 hours, bitcoin has collapsed to 82,000 dollars, triggering 2 billion in liquidations and record outflows of Bitcoin ETFs. Between trader panic and Fed uncertainties, this historic crisis raises questions: should we fear a prolonged crash or seize the opportunity of an explosive rebound?

In brief

Bitcoin drops to $82,000, with $2 billion in liquidations within 24H and record outflows of $903 million from ETFs.
Fed uncertainties and forced sales accelerate pressure on bitcoin, pushing the market into capitulation territory.
Analysts identify $84,000 and $73,000 as max pain levels: should you buy the dip or wait for the rebound?

Bitcoin at $82,000, $2 Billion in Liquidations in 24h… What is Happening?
In less than 24 hours, the crypto market has suffered a historic collapse, with nearly $2 billion in liquidated positions! This was marked by a drop of bitcoin to $82,000, its lowest level since April. According to CoinGlass, 396,000 traders were affected, including a record $36.78 million position liquidated on Hyperliquid. This carnage occurred while net outflows from Bitcoin ETFs reached $903 million, their second worst day since launch.

Massive outflows from Bitcoin ETFs.
Bitcoin: Why is the Current Fall Different?
Unlike past corrections, this fall is amplified by two key factors: massive outflows from Bitcoin ETFs and uncertainty around interest rates. Indeed, US employment data (119,000 new jobs in September) have reduced hopes for a rate cut in December, while Kevin Hassett, nominated to the Fed, said that a pause would be very unwelcome. As a result, the bitcoin Fear & Greed index fell to 14, an extreme distress level.

With liquidations of nearly $2 billion, analysts emphasize that the market is now in capitulation territory, where forced sales dominate rationality. This pushes bitcoin towards critical levels of $81,900, the last barrier before confirmation of a bear market.

Critical Thresholds to Watch for BTC
Analysts identify two key levels where institutional investors’ pain could reach its peak:

$84,000: average cost of BlackRock’s IBIT ETF, the largest American Bitcoin ETF;
$73,000: average cost of MicroStrategy, often considered a psychological floor.

If bitcoin does not regain the $88,000–$90,000 zone, analysts predict a fall towards $78,000–$82,000, where forced sellers might exhaust themselves. However, a “bottom” could form between these two levels, marking a full cycle reset.

Bitcoin: Should You Buy, Sell or Wait? Experts’ Strategies
Facing this storm on Bitcoin (BTC), strategies diverge:

Defensive: reduce exposure and wait for a rebound confirmation above $88,000;
Offensive: target the “max pain” levels ($84,000 and $73,000) for long-term buys, assuming seller exhaustion;
Watchful: monitor the Fear & Greed index and institutional flows, which could signal a reversal.

Note that altcoins like ethereum, solana, and BNB also fell by more than 10%, reflecting broad pressure. Experts recall that capitulation phases often precede violent rebounds, but timing will depend on the return of institutional flows.

This bitcoin drop marked by ETF outflows and record liquidations recalls past crises, but with an unprecedented institutional dimension. While analysts are divided on the possibility of a quick rebound or a worsening drop, a question persists: will $73,000 mark the cycle floor, or is the crypto market entering a prolonged bear phase?

The bitcoin price has dropped to around $86,000 per bitcoin, down from $126,000 in October and hitting lows not seen since April when U.S. president Donald Trump’s trade tariffs sparked widespread market panic.

Now, as fears swirl of another $1 trillion bitcoin and crypto market sell-off, traders are scrambling to get ahead of the Federal Reserve after the delayed jobs data drastically reduced the possibility of a December interest rate cut—which had been expected to support risk assets like bitcoin.

11/21 update: The head of asset management giant Vanguard’s bond business, Sara Devereux, has warned the she expects the Federal Reserve to only cut interest rates one or two more times, dealing a blow traders who had hoped for as many as four rate cuts next year.

ForbesA Bitcoin Price Crash Nightmare Is Suddenly Coming TrueBy Billy Bambrough

U.S. Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell is grappling with sticky inflation and a labor market that is holding up better than expected—putting pressure on the bitcoin price has traders clamour for interest rate cuts.

"Too many Fed cuts are priced into the market right now. The market is over-relying on that,” Devereux told the Financial Times. “Maybe we have one or two more cuts.”

Devereux added that by the “middle of next year," the Fed could reach the “neutral” level of interest rates, in which borrowing costs neither accelerate nor slow growth.

The bitcoin price fallen sharply overnight, dropping toward $80,000 per bitcoin to hit its lowest since April and dragging down the wider crypto market as traders go “risk-off.”

“Bitcoin, which sits at the top end of the risk spectrum, extended a losing streak that’s been in motion since late October. If people have lost confidence in tech stocks, they certainly won’t have the confidence to speculate on cryptocurrency," Dan Coatsworth, head of markets at AJ Bell, said in emailed comments.

“It also didn’t help that investors are struggling to predict what the Federal Reserve will do next with interest rates. Conflicting messages from central policymakers have left investors scratching their heads over whether rates will be cut next month or not. Markets are now expecting a 67% chance of no change at December’s meeting, whereas a month ago there was a 98% chance of a quarter percentage point cut."

“U.S. job growth blew past expectations in September painting a rosy pre-shutdown picture and delivering the largest jobs gain in five months,” Isaac Stell, investment manager at Wealth Club, said via email.

The jobs data, originally scheduled for October 3 but delayed by the government shutdown, showed the economy added 119,000 jobs in September and is the latest snapshot of the labor market that Fed officials have when they meet to set interest rates on December 9.

“Despite the data already being out of date, this will be the only major jobs release prior to the Fed’s end of year meeting," Stell said.

Earlier, minutes from the last Fed meeting showed officials were already divided about whether to cut or hold interest rates.

“Given the Fed minutes showed hesitancy within the ranks when it comes to a final interest rate cut in 2025, the strength of this jobs report will likely ensure nothing changes,” Stell said. "So, the sleigh bells will not be ringing this December at the Fed. Instead of a perfectly wrapped rate cut, the U.S. consumer is likely to be met with a lump of coal.”

ForbesEthereum Cofounder Issues Stark BlackRock Warning That Could Spell Disaster For Bitcoin Amid Sudden Price Sell-OffBy Billy Bambrough

The bitcoin price has fallen sharply from its peak of $126,000 per bitcoin in October, sparking fears of a full-blown price crash.

Forbes Digital Assets

The odds of a December interest rate cut have fallen sharply in recent weeks, according to the CME’s FedWatch tracker, with traders now pricing the possibility of a rate cut at just 40% and delivering a serious blow to the bitcoin price and wider crypto market that is teetering on a knife edge.

“The crypto market remains pessimistic, reacting eagerly to negative news and quickly deflating on positive news,” Alex Kuptsikevich, FxPro chief market analyst, said in emailed comments, adding that “in such conditions, it is only a matter of days before the bears find stop-out levels, triggering a self-sustaining avalanche of sell-offs.”

DeFi has spent years optimizing AMM curves, fee models and routing logic, yet one fundamental issue has remained largely untouched: most liquidity in automated market makers does not actually work. The majority of capital deposited into pools sits unused, fragmented across dozens of pairs and protocols. At Devconnect Buenos Aires, 1inch unveiled Aqua, a protocol designed to challenge that limitation directly.

Instead of locking assets into separate pools, Aqua enables a single wallet balance to support multiple strategies simultaneously. It introduces a shared-liquidity architecture that could reshape how capital efficiency and yield generation function across the ecosystem. With developers, researchers and protocol builders gathered in Buenos Aires, the timing was deliberate.

In this interview, we speak with Sergej Kunz, co-founder of 1inch, about what Aqua is, how it works, and why it represents one of the most significant shifts in liquidity design since 1inch introduced aggregation in 2019.

Interview
Why did you choose Devconnect Buenos Aires as the moment to introduce Aqua?

Sergej Kunz:
Devconnect gathers a technical audience that understands what goes into building and securing a protocol. Aqua needs exactly that level of scrutiny. Presenting it here allows us to talk directly to developers, researchers, and security experts who can challenge the model, test it and eventually build on it.

The choice makes sense. Aqua isn’t a marketing product ; it’s infrastructure, and Devconnect is one of the few events where infrastructure launches truly land with the right crowd.

For readers who haven’t followed the announcement closely: what is Aqua? And why this approach?

Sergej Kunz:
Aqua addresses a core problem in DeFi: around 80 to 90 percent of capital sitting in liquidity pools isn’t actually working. It’s there to support the AMM curve, but it does not actively generate value. With Aqua, users don’t have to lock assets in separate pools. Assets stay in the wallet and can support multiple strategies at the same time. Think of it as a virtual DEX engine running inside your wallet, while remaining fully self-custodial.

In other words, Aqua changes the assumption that liquidity must be fragmented across dozens of pools. It lets one balance behave like several without compromising security.

So how does that translate into higher capital efficiency?

Sergej Kunz:
With traditional AMMs, if you want to support several trading pairs, you divide your liquidity into multiple buckets. That reduces utilization. With Aqua, the full amount of an asset can work across multiple AIMM strategies in parallel. The result is higher liquidity depth and significantly higher yield. Our backtests show returns increasing five times or more, and shared liquidity can push that effect up to fifteen times compared to legacy AMMs.

This is where Aqua becomes more than a conceptual improvement: it directly affects LP earnings.

Who is Aqua intended for at this stage?

Sergej Kunz:
Right now, this release is for developers, security experts and researchers. They’re the ones who will probe the protocol. When the production version goes live, it will target liquidity providers who want higher yield with less fragmentation.

What was the reaction like at Devconnect?

Sergej Kunz:
The community here is extremely engaged. Many developers visited the booth wanting to understand how one liquidity position can operate across several strategies. Even very technical attendees were surprised this approach hadn’t been implemented before. Their feedback already helped us sharpen how we explain Aqua ahead of my upcoming talk.

The engagement shows that shared liquidity is still unfamiliar territory but also that the demand for a more efficient model is clear.

Is there anything comparable to Aqua in today’s market?

Sergej Kunz:
No. This is a new architectural model in DeFi. In 2019, 1inch solved fragmentation for takers with aggregation. Aqua solves fragmentation for makers, the liquidity providers. Some projects explored similar ideas, but no one delivered a working shared-liquidity system with such simple integration. Developers can use it with just a few lines of code.

What should the ecosystem expect from 1inch going into 2026?

Sergej Kunz:
This year was intense. We introduced Solana support for intent-based swaps, rolled out cross-chain capabilities and rebranded to reflect our shift toward serving not only Web3 but also traditional companies. We believe every future business will rely on Web3 infrastructure the same way every modern business relies on the internet. Aqua’s full production release is planned for the end of this year or early next year, along with an interface and third-party builders already preparing integrations. And yes, there are additional protocols in the pipeline.

What is your key takeaway from Devconnect this year?

Sergej Kunz:
Many teams believe they compete with each other, but in reality we build different pieces of the same infrastructure. Several developers approached us concerned that Aqua might disrupt their work. My message to everyone is that we are all partners. If we focus on solving foundational problems, the ecosystem becomes easier to use for traditional industries as well.

Conclusion
Aqua marks a meaningful shift in how DeFi thinks about liquidity design. For years, protocols have competed on curve optimizations, fees and routing mechanisms while quietly accepting that most liquidity sits inactive. By introducing a shared-liquidity architecture that allows one balance to serve multiple strategies, 1inch is pushing the conversation toward a more efficient and more composable future.

The timing is notable. As the industry moves deeper into intent-based execution, cross-chain liquidity and institutional-grade infrastructure, the need for capital to work harder and not just sit untouched becomes increasingly clear. Aqua fits directly into that transition. It gives developers a new primitive to build on and gives liquidity providers a model that aligns yield with actual utilization instead of fragmentation.

Whether Aqua becomes a new standard will depend on how fast the ecosystem adopts it, how builders integrate it and how the production version performs once live. But one thing is certain: introducing a protocol that rewrites the assumptions of AMM liquidity at the end of 2025 sets the tone for a very different 2026. If 1inch delivers on the roadmap Sergej outlines, Aqua could influence not just individual protocols but the underlying architecture of DeFi itself.

Key Takeaways
How has 2025 shaped up for Solana and XRP so far?
2025 has been bullish for both Solana and XRP, with strong institutional adoption, strategic partnerships, and growing liquidity.

What could trigger a bullish turn for SOL and XRP?
A meaningful pick-up in altcoin flows could allow SOL and XRP to carve out their own breakout.

One notable divergence this cycle is that the altcoin market hasn’t really capitalized on the ongoing FUD. Back in mid-August, Bitcoin dominance [BTC.D] broke 60%, which triggered a vertical expansion in altcoins.

Notably, that expansion pushed the index back up to post-election highs around 80, with most high-beta alts peaking by mid-September. For example, Solana [SOL] briefly broke $250 on 18 September.

Fast forward to now, however, and even with institutional appetite for altcoins hitting new levels, a similar rally hasn’t formed. XRP is a case in point too. Strong fundamentals are there, but will altcoin flows pick up enough for a bullish turn?

Top layer-1s eye a bullish break, but price isn’t catching up
Despite macro FUD, 2025 has been a bullish year for blockchain overall.

Solana and Ripple have been major beneficiaries. As top L1s, both have leveraged their networks to drive strategic partnerships. XRPL has tapped the payments market, while SOL has focused on stablecoin use cases.

The payoff? Growing institutional legitimacy. 2025 has been strong for both, with back-to-back ETF launches. The recent XRP Bitwise ETF saw $21.7 million in turnover, while SOL ETFs continue to draw capital inflows.

Source: Strategic Solana Reserve

In fact, Solana’s DAT (Digital Asset Treasury) allocation has hit a new milestone this year, with total institutional SOL holdings jumping about 15% to 20.35 million – Tightening the circulating liquid supply.

And yet, this strength hasn’t shown up in price action. Both XRP and SOL are down 30%+ this quarter, with annualized yields in the red. Sure, it’s part of a broader risk-off environment hitting other high-cap alts too.

However, with top Layer-1s pulling in serious institutional capital and proving their networks with real use cases, does this lag suggest they’re moving in line with the broader altcoin market rather than diverging?

Solana and XRP face risk-off, market despite momentum
Macro volatility is clearly showing up in the altcoin market.

Even though BTC.D dipped below 60% in a mid-August-style move and fell 1.7% over the past two weeks, the Altcoin Season Index is still nowhere near a full-blown “altcoin season” – Signaling weak rotational flows.

It’s clearly visible on the charts too. The SOL/BTC ratio has made two lower lows since its mid-September peak of 0.002, putting the 0.0015-support at risk of breaking. Meanwhile, XRP/BTC has been failing to clear the resistance.

Source: TradingView (XRP/BTC)

As can be seen on the charts, XRP/BTC is now approaching the 0.000025 short-term ceiling, up 1.14% for the month. Still, XRP seemed to be roughly 22% below the $2.50-resistance, showing it’s under pressure despite the minor gains.

In short, the lack of rotational flows highlights a key divergence this cycle.

Despite Solana and XRP hitting bullish milestones in 2025, including strong institutional adoption, strategic partnerships, liquidity growth, and ETF activity, their price action hasn’t kept pace. 

Momentum and fundamentals are solid, but until altcoin flows pick up, both SOL and XRP will continue to move in line with the broader market. Rather than carving out their own breakout.

Binance CEO Richard Teng has downplayed Bitcoin's recent downtrend, claiming that the coin's volatility is in line with most major asset classes.

TL;DR

Bitcoin trades at $82,366.12 after a 10.15% decline, leading a broad market pullback driven by liquidations in leveraged positions.
Ethereum drops below $2,800 and sits near $2,687 with a 10.82% loss.
Major altcoins like XRP, ADA, BNB and HYPE fall more than 9%, although analysts note this correction follows weeks of institutional inflows. TRX stands out with a limited downside.

The crypto market faces a sharp pullback after a week of intense volatility. Bitcoin, Ethereum and major altcoins show double-digit declines, influenced by strong selling pressure in derivatives and profit taking from recent rallies. Despite the drop, trading volumes remain elevated, showing sustained market participation. Some analysts link the correction to the strong rally seen in early November, which left prices vulnerable to fast adjustments once funding rates became overheated. In addition, several traders point to liquidity gaps created during recent upward moves that are now being filled.

Bitcoin Leads The Correction
Bitcoin is priced at $82,366.12 after falling 10.15% in the last day. The decline is driven mainly by leveraged liquidations, adding speed to the sell-off. Even with the drop, open interest in BTC futures remains high, indicating traders continue to position for short-term moves. Demand for spot ETFs remains firm, helping prevent a deeper slide.

Ethereum, XRP, ADA, BNB And HYPE Under Pressure
Ethereum trades at $2,687.08 after losing more than 10% and dropping below the $2,800 level. XRP is priced at $1.88 with a 10.49% decrease, still inside a range where a rebound is possible. BNB sits at $815.55 with a 9.38% decline, holding above an area that has recently attracted institutional interest.

Cardano falls to $0.4052 with a 12.75% loss, one of the steepest drops among major assets. HYPE posts the largest decline, trading at $33.01 after a 15.60% drop, extending its pattern of lower highs and lower lows, with buyers not yet stepping in to reverse momentum. Other large-cap tokens like Solana at $124.88 and Dogecoin at $0.1383 show declines above 11%, confirming broader market pressure.

Outlook For The Crypto Market
The current drop follows weeks of strong expansion, making the sell-off a recalibration rather than a breakdown. While sellers dominate the short term, institutional activity and high volume suggest long-term demand remains intact. Market direction in the coming days may hinge on whether Bitcoin holds near $80,000, a key level that could define whether momentum resumes or the correction deepens.

Bitcoin has plunged around 10% to $82,000 over the past 24 hours, pushing liquidations to around $2 billion.

Spot ETFs saw heavy outflows on Thursday, with $903.1 million exiting Bitcoin funds and another $261.6 million flowing out of Ethereum products.

Bitcoin To Witness Sizeable Correction

Glassnode data shows Bitcoin's realized losses have surged to levels last seen during the FTX collapse, driven largely by short-term holders capitulating.

This rapid spike suggests a widespread washout of weak hands as traders unwind recent positions.

Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez highlighted that Bitcoin's weekly SuperTrend, historically reliable in spotting major reversals, has flipped bearish again. For over a decade, every bearish flip has preceded a notable BTC correction.

Lennaert Snyder noted Ethereum has fallen to $2,650 and continues to trend downward. The next key resistance sits near $3,200, a rejection there favours fresh short setups, while a reclaim could open the door to $3,530.

ETH is also nearing the $2,580 daily support level, where reversal-long opportunities may emerge. Liquidity remains concentrated higher, keeping focus on longs at support and shorts near resistance.

Crypto trader Don pointed out Solana is now sitting on a major support level.

CryptocurrencyTickerPriceBitcoin(CRYPTO: BTC)$82,227Ethereum(CRYPTO: ETH)$2,685Solana(CRYPTO: SOL)$124.06   XRP(CRYPTO: XRP)$1.87The meme-coin sector was hit even harder, plunging 10.9% and briefly touching a $44.4 billion valuation. Despite the new 21Shares Doge ETF debuting on Thursday, Dogecoin still declined — though trader Tardigrade noted a fresh bullish divergence forming on the daily chart, often an early sign a downtrend is weakening.

André Dragosch of Bitwise Europe said Bitcoin’s max-pain zone may be near eighty-four thousand dollars, BlackRock’s IBIT average cost. He also noted it could be around seventy-three thousand dollars, the cost basis for MicroStrategy.
These levels represent the prices where major institutional holders have accumulated Bitcoin, and reaching them could trigger a market “clear-out,” potentially signalling the final bottom of the cycle.

Understanding the Max-Pain Zone
The concept of a max-pain zone comes from the idea that market stress peaks at certain price levels. For Bitcoin, this zone reflects where influential investors have invested the most, meaning any significant price move toward these points can result in heavy selling or buying pressure. If the price nears $84k or $73k, investors who bought at these levels may be motivated to sell to break even or cut losses. This process can cleanse weaker hands from the market and create a foundation for the next bullish phase.

FWIW —

Think max max pain is reached the moment we tag either the IBIT cost basis at 84k or MSTR cost basis at 73k.

Very likely we’ll see a final bottom somewhere in between.

But these will be fire sale prices and akin to a full cycle reset imo.

— André Dragosch, PhD⚡ (@Andre_Dragosch) November 19, 2025

A real-world example is MicroStrategy, which famously holds tens of thousands of Bitcoin. The company’s average purchase price of around $73k becomes a psychological anchor for the market. When Bitcoin approaches this level, both institutional and retail traders monitor for signs of capitulation or accumulation. Historical trends show that previous Bitcoin bottoms often occur near large institutional cost bases, underscoring the relevance of these max-pain zones.

All eyes on MicroStrategy:

MicroStrategy, $MSTR, is now down -40% over the last month and -68% from its a record high.

They now hold 649,870 Bitcoin at an average price of $74,433.

In other words, if Bitcoin falls another 15%, MicroStrategy’s position will turn red.

Trends and Market Implications
Recent market trends suggest heightened attention on institutional holdings. BlackRock’s IBIT, which averages about $84k, shows that large-scale investment products influence broader market sentiment.

Institutional investors now hold 40% of $BTC–#ETF‘s

And this is still a conservative estimate, because only companies with over $100 million in assets under management have to report these holdings at all. pic.twitter.com/8j3zdRZ2Fg

Data from the past three Bitcoin cycles indicate that when prices approach major institutional entry points, volatility spikes, and liquidity events often follow. For investors, understanding these zones can provide insight into potential risk and reward scenarios. It also emphasises that market bottoms are often shaped as much by psychology and positioning as by technical factors.

It's a bloodbath out there in the cryptoverse. Bitcoin is still plummeting, and of course, the rest of the crypto market is also falling like a stone.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management firm, has dumped 10,000 Bitcoin (BTC) so far this week, worth roughly $900 million.

The latest sale, on Thursday, November 20, amounted to around 4,140 BTC, valued at more or less $356 million, according to the data shared by HeyApollo ETF tracker co-founder Thomas Fahrer.

Notably, the consistent outflows have coincided with one of the most dramatic crashes this year, with the overall crypto sector losing nearly 13% of its market capitalization between Monday, November 17, and Friday, November 23, dropping from $3.25 trillion to $2.83 trillion.

Bitcoin crashes to $82,000
Bitcoin itself took one of the heaviest blows, plummeting to nearly $80,000 in the early hours on Friday, levels not seen since May. The price has managed to pull back to $82,220 at the time of writing, but the asset is still down more than 10% on the 24-hour chart.

BTC 24-hour price. Source: Finbold
Negative sentiment is now gripping the market, evidenced by the Fear & Greed Index reading 11 at press time, one of the worst this year. 

Moreover, the Bitcoin drop unleashed more than $2 billion in derivatives liquidations, with 93% of wiped-out positions coming from leveraged longs, greatly accelerating the already steady downward momentum.

At the same time, funding rates went from 0.004% to 0.0025%, signaling waning leverage appetite, while total futures open interest fell 6.85% in a single day as traders unwound their positions.

Bitcoin’s technical picture was not spared either. Namely, the flagship crypto fell below several critical levels, most notably the 2025 bull market support at $85,000, and its 14-day relative strength index (RSI) dropped to 24.7, its most oversold reading since March.

Market watchers are eyeing whether a firmer U.S. dollar and stabilizing Treasury yields can stabilize ETF flows.

Prices across the crypto market have crashed with the recent Bitcoin price decline below $100,000, and other major metrics have followed in accordance. One metric of note that has suffered a notable decline is the crypto market open interest. The total open interest fell sharply back in September, and the decline has been the trend since then. As a result, the crypto market open interest has now fallen to levels not seen in five months.

Crypto Open Interest Dumps Below $140 Billion
Data from the Coinglass website shows that crypto market open interest has declined significantly after hitting an all-time high in early October. The $233 billion peak was recorded on October 7, coinciding with the Bitcoin price also hitting a peak above $126,000. However, the momentum has not held up since then, and as the Bitcoin price has tumbled, the crypto open interest has suffered.

Earlier in the week, the open interest fell below $140 billion for the first time in five months, marking an over 40% crash in the space of one month. The market saw the first major decline following the infamous crash in the crypto market in a matter of hours. By October 12, only 5 days after the all-time high was recorded, the open interest had crashed by more than 25%, reaching $150 billion.

Source: Coinglass
The current decline is a testament to the reduced participation from investors across the market, as crypto traders have taken a more conservative stance through the month of November. Not only has the crypto open interest been gravely impacted, but the daily trading volume has suffered as well.

Just like the open interest, the crypto daily trading volume has recorded a double-digit crash, going from almost $400 billion at the start of October to less than $260 billion at the time of this report. This constitutes an around 35% crash, showing notable similarities to the open interest.

What Happened To Bitcoin The Last Time?
While the rapid decline in the crypto open interest could be a cause for alarm, it is interesting to note what happened to Bitcoin the last time this metric was this low. Looking back to June 2025, when the crypto open interest was last below $140 billion, it essentially was the bottom before the price rallied again.

A bounce following the bottom in June saw the Bitcoin price rise from around $100,000 to $126,000 over the next few months, which translates to a 26% increase. If this trend holds and the bottom is marked with the crypto market open interest below $140 billion, then the Bitcoin price could be gearing up for another rally.

The market's response on Bitcoin's dive toward $84,000 is certainly not calm as liquidation volume spikes enormously.

Nearly two billion dollars in crypto longs have been wiped out in one of the most violent liquidation cycles of the year. Bitcoin alone accounts for just over a billion dollars worth of forced long closures, with Ethereum contributing more than $422 million, and XRP suffering alongside the broader market, according to data from CoinGlass. This kind of synchronized liquidation usually marks periods of extreme leverage unwinding, rather than fundamental collapses, but the charts across major assets paint a harsh picture for anyone expecting a quick reversal.

Bitcoin slipsBitcoin’s chart shows a straightforward story: a complete loss of trend strength after rejection at the 100-day and 200-day EMAs. The breakdown accelerated once BTC slipped under $100,000, and momentum did not stop until the $82,000 area. That level corresponds with a thick liquidation cluster, meaning a huge portion of leveraged long positions were sitting just below that price and got wiped out the moment the market tapped that zone. 

RSI is deeply oversold, but oversold does not mean a reversal; it only tells you how brutal the selling pressure has been. Until BTC prints a higher low, or at least forms a base, bulls will be reacting rather than attacking.

HOT Stories

Source: CoinglassEthereum is not in much better shape. ETH lost the $3,000 support cleanly, and the market kept pushing it toward the mid-$2,600s. Structurally, ETH has broken all major moving averages and is trending under its 200-day EMA, a classic bear-market condition. There is long-term optimism from staking metrics, but price action right now reflects panic, not conviction. If ETH cannot stabilize soon, a retest of $2,500-$2,400 becomes the next logical step.

XRP's drops getting worseXRP just suffered one of its sharpest single-day drops in months. The descending channel that has been controlling the price since September finally cracked, and XRP is now touching the lower boundary of that structure. This level can act as a “trampoline,” a place where the price historically bounces hard, but that only applies if buyers show up. A breakdown from here opens a path toward $1.70-$1.80, which is the next high-liquidity area.

Is this the end? No. But it is the phase where markets flush out excess leverage and force a reset. Until volatility cools and assets reclaim broken supports, expect uncertainty, not recovery. This kind of liquidation storm often marks the late stage of a correction, but it never feels like it while you are inside it.

XRP could be in for a major shake-up this year thanks to a wave of new ETFs hitting the market. Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, and other investment companies are gearing up to launch theirs soon, and Franklin Templeton’s ETF alone is projected to bring in $150-$250 million on the first day. Naturally, everyone’s wondering whether this level of demand can finally turn XRP’s weak price action around.

Right now, the XRP price is down over 15% this week, trading around $2.11 and sitting just above a critical support area. Below, we take a look at what’s happening in the market, key chart levels, and our short-term XRP price prediction.

Table of Contents

Current market scenario: XRP holds above key $2 supportUpside outlook: What XRP needs for a bullish breakoutDownside risks: What happens if XRP loses $2.10XRP price prediction based on current levels

Summary

XRP is trading around $2.11, down over 15% this week, hovering just above a critical support level.
Upcoming XRP ETFs, including Franklin Templeton’s projected $150–$250M first-day trading volume, could significantly influence price momentum.
Bulls need XRP to break above $2.20–$2.30 to push toward $2.60, while a drop below $2.10 could see a move toward $2.00 or lower.
Canary Capital’s XRP ETF saw $58M on day one, and other companies like Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale are preparing ETFs, signaling growing adoption in traditional finance.
The market remains bearish unless ETF-driven buying and XRP Ledger developments provide enough momentum for a breakout.

Current market scenario: XRP holds above key $2 support
This week, Ripple (XRP) is likely to trade between $2.10 and $2.30, showing continued volatility. Even with ETF news and ongoing XRP Ledger updates, the bears are still calling the shots, with momentum and volume pointing in their favor.

XRP 1-day chart, November 2025 | Source: crypto.news
Institutional interest, though,  is heating up. The Canary Capital Spot XRP ETF brought in over $58 million on day one, and with Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Grayscale preparing their own ETFs, XRP could be nearing a major milestone in traditional finance adoption.

Upside outlook: What XRP needs for a bullish breakout
Even after its recent drop, XRP still has a chance to bounce back — but it needs to get past a couple of key resistance levels first. $2.20 is the first big hurdle, and a move above it would show bulls are coming back. After that, $2.30 is the next test, and clearing it could push XRP up to $2.60, which might finally turn sentiment bullish.

Investors are curious to see if the upcoming ETFs will create enough momentum to push XRP higher. With Ledger upgrades continuing and institutional interest on the rise, the short-term XRP forecast remains cautiously upbeat.

Downside risks: What happens if XRP loses $2.10
On the downside, XRP looks vulnerable. Falling below $2.10 would likely signal more weakness, with the next key level around $2.00. Beyond that, there isn’t much technical support, so the price could slip further.

With sellers holding the upper hand, the market is more likely to keep trending lower unless a surge in buying comes in to change momentum.

XRP price prediction based on current levels
The market is closely watching XRP as it tests key technical levels this week.

A decisive move above $2.20 and $2.30 could push XRP toward $2.60, hinting at a bullish reversal.
Conversely, falling below $2.10 would likely open the door to $2.00 or lower, maintaining the downward trend.

The short-term trend is still leaning bearish, unless XRP ETFs push enough buying power to spark a breakout. These institutional moves could be a game-changer, but XRP needs to get back above key resistance levels to shake off the bearish pressure and start a lasting upward move.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Synopsys, Inc. (NASDAQ: SNPS) 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 Synopsys, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/synopsys-inc-class-action-lawsuit.

Investors have until December 30, 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 Synopsys securities. The class action is pending in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and is captioned Kim v. Synopsys, Inc., et al., No. 3:25-cv-09410.

Why Was Synopsys Sued for Securities Fraud?

Synopsys provides design automation software products used to design and test integrated circuits. The Company’s Design IP segment, which provides pre-designed silicon components to semiconductor companies, has been the Company’s fastest-growing segment, growing from 25% of its revenue in 2022, to 31% in 2024.

During the relevant period, Synopsys told investors that its customers “rely on Synopsys IP to minimize integration risk and speed time to market” and that it was seeing “strength in Europe and South Korea.” Synopsys also stated it was “continuing to develop and deploy[] AI into our products and the operations of our business.”

As alleged, in truth, the Company’s Design IP customers began to require additional customization for IP components, which was deteriorating the economics of its Design IP business and jeopardizing its business model.

The Stock Declines as the Truth Is Revealed

On September 9, 2025, Synopsys released its Q3 2025 financial results, revealing its “IP business underperformed expectations.” The Company reported revenue for its Design IP segment of $425.9 million, a 7.7% decline year-over-year and net income of $242.5 million, a 43% year-over-year decline. The Company revealed that its Design IP customers require “more and more customization,” which “takes longer” and requires “more resources.” As a result, the Company stated it was having “an ongoing dialogue with our customers” regarding changing its business model. This news caused the price of Synopsys stock to fall $217.59 per share, or nearly 36%, from $604.37 per share on September 9, 2025, to $387.78 per share on September 10, 2025.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces an investigation into Beyond Meat, Inc. (NASDAQ: BYND) for potential violations of the federal securities laws.

If you invested in Beyond Meat, you are encouraged to obtain additional information by visiting: https://www.bfalaw.com/cases/beyond-meat-inc-class-action-investigation.

Why Is Beyond Meat Being Investigated for Securities Fraud?

Beyond Meat makes plant-based meat alternatives. In late 2023, the company went through a global operations review and depreciated certain long-lived assets. Beyond Meat said that these assets were recorded in assets held for sale in its consolidated balance sheet at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less costs to sell, and that there were no impairments.

BFA is investigating whether Beyond Meat inflated the value of certain long-lived assets.

Why Did Beyond Meat’s Stock Drop?

On October 24, 2025, Beyond Meat announced that it “expects to record a non-cash impairment charge for the three months ended September 27, 2025, related to certain of its long-lived assets,” which it “expected to be material.” On this news, the price of Beyond Meat stock dropped roughly 23%, from $2.84 per share on October 23, 2025 to $2.185 per share on October 24, 2025.

Then, on November 3, 2025, the company delayed its earnings announcement for 3Q 25 as it needed more time to complete the impairment review. This news caused Beyond Meat stock to decline substantially during the trading day on November 3, 2025.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Leading securities law firm Bleichmar Fonti & Auld LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed against Inspire Medical Systems, Inc. (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.

Palantir (NASDAQ: PLTR) shares fell sharply on Thursday amid heightened insider selling activity, with regulatory filings showing that multiple senior executives, including Co-founder and CEO Alex Karp, have proposed significant share disposals. 

PLTR stock closed at $155.74, down 5.85% (-$9.68), and continued its decline in pre-market trading on Friday, changing hands at $154.58 (-0.75%) as of writing.

The timing of the sales occurring just after a strong earnings quarter and during a period of elevated market optimism toward AI-related companies has raised investor concerns over leadership’s confidence in the near-term valuation.

According to a Form 144 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on November 20, 2025, Alex Karp filed to sell 585,000 Palantir shares, representing an aggregate market value of approximately $95.93 million, at an estimated sale price of $163.99 per share. 

The filing identifies Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC Executive Financial Services as the broker responsible for executing the transaction. The proposed sale date is listed as November 20, 2025, with the shares currently registered for trading on the NASDAQ exchange.

Palantir insider trading
Insider trading disclosures reviewed alongside the SEC filing indicate that Karp was not the only executive preparing to offload shares. Four other senior officers Stephen Cohen, Ryan Taylor, David Glazer, and Shyam Sankar each filed proposed stock sales on the same date, also at the $163.99-per-share reference price.

Collectively, the group has signalled intent to sell over 1.26 million shares, representing a combined market value of more than $205 million.
