Looking at your portfolio and feeling a distinct lack of income? Whether those just starting out or those close to retirement, investors of all types can benefit from a little more income coming from their investments. Finding the right ETF or fund to do so is the real task, and the stars may be aligning to encourage adding equity income right now with covered call ETFs powered by a daily option strategy.

See more: Tax-Loss Harvesting? Get More From Current Income in Daily Covered Call ETFs

Why now? There are a few specific reasons to consider daily covered call ETFs to close out 2025.

Declining Short Term Interest Rates from Fed Rate Cuts
Falling interest rates have some important implications for portfolios. While they can provide some helpful stimulus to the macro economy, for investors, falling rates can also throw a wrench in their fixed income plans. Declining short term interest rates can alter how investors’ debt securities perform, requiring other sources of income to step in.

Investors Can Tax Loss Harvest into Income ETFs
The end of the year sees many investors and advisors engage in a healthy amount of tax loss harvesting. That doesn’t just present an opportunity to reduce the end of the year cap gains tax, but it also offers a case to swap from one ETF to another for a given allocation. 

For example, investors may have positions in increasingly popular covered call ETFs. Many of the largest funds utilize a monthly options strategy, and have underperformed during the current market rally.  Some strategies may also distribute more income than they produce in total returns, potentially creating a tax loss harvesting opportunity. Should any of those funds be producing a loss for portfolios, investors can take the loss by selling that fund and reinvest in covered call ETFs that use daily options, for example.  These strategies typically capture more of the upside when markets rally.  

Next Generation Covered Call ETFs
Now may be the time to add income with the arrival of some particularly potent income ETFs. Covered call ETFs have become quite popular for investors, with their stated goal of delivering high income levels with equity market participation.  

This year, however, has seen some covered call ETFs struggle, particularly those that use a monthly options strategy. Markets have offered some significant rallies, but many covered call ETFs have missed out. In exchange for earning high levels of income, monthly covered call strategies typically sacrifice a significant amount of market upside. 

Covered call ETFs that utilize daily options can improve this tradeoff and provide that high income while also offering more of the market’s upside than those monthly covered call ETFs. 

A strategy like the ProShares S&P 500 High Income ETF (ISPY) can appeal. The current ETF charges a 55 basis point (bps) fee. The fund has returned 11.3% YTD per ETF Database data and For those looking to add income to their portfolios without sacrificing upside, a fund like ISPY could appeal.

Global technology shares rallied on Nov. 20, 2025 as investors rotated back into AI-linked stocks following AI behemoth NVIDIA’s upbeat results. The tech space has been seesawing for quite some time now as investors went skeptical about the rising overvaluation concerns in the AI sector.  

NVIDIA’s upbeat earnings hit the market at a time when investors are anxious about overvaluation concerns in the AI sector. Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown believes that while AI valuations in certain areas are stretched, NVIDIA’s fundamentals remain strong, as quoted by BBC.

NVIDIA’s Upbeat Quarter Lifts SentimentFor the quarter ending in October, NVIDIA posted $57 billion in revenue, marking a 62% uptick from a year earlier. The surge was driven by huge demand for its chips used in AI data centres, with that division’s sales surging 66% to more than $51 billion.“Blackwell sales are off the charts, and cloud GPUs are sold out,” CEO Jensen Huang said in a statement, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.

For Q3, Nvidia saw earnings per share (EPS) of $1.30 on revenue of $57.01 billion. Earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.24 per share while revenues beat the estimate by 4.14%.  The company recorded EPS and revenues of $0.81 and $35.1 billion, respectively, in the year-ago quarter.The company’s data center business brought in $51.2 billion versus the Bloomberg consensus estimate of $49.3 billion, as quoted on Yahoo Finance.

Its upbeat fourth-quarter guidance reassured investors about continued AI demand. NVIDIA expects revenues to be $65.0 billion, plus or minus 2% for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026. The guidance beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $60.30 billion. Shares jumped about 5% in premarket trading.

Global Chipmakers AdvanceThe positive momentum spread to Europe, where Dutch semiconductor makers BESI and ASMI rose more than 3% and 2%, respectively, as quoted on CNBC.

In Asia, Samsung Electronics climbed 3.5%, while Hon Hai Precision Industry (Foxconn) gained 3.3%, reflecting broad optimism across global chip and AI supply chains, as mentioned in the above-said CNBC article.

U.S. tech stocks rebounded too in the pre-market trading. AMD shares were up about 5%.Arm went nearly 4% higher. Marvell Technology added 3.7%. Broadcom climbed 3%.

Concerns Over AI Ecosystem ConcentrationKaren McCormick, chief investment officer at VC firm Beringea, voiced caution about the increasingly interconnected nature of major AI players, especially after NVIDIA and Microsoft signaled plans to invest up to $15 billion in OpenAI peer Anthropic.

Such close connections between AI companies, she warned, could make the whole market more vulnerable if an AI bubble bursts, as quoted on CNBC. But she also noted that these firms have very strong balance sheets and wealthy financiers, which means they are less likely to collapse.

Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown believes that while AI valuations in certain areas are stretched, NVIDIA’s fundamentals remain strong, as quoted by BBC.

Undervalued Tech ETFs in Focus Against this mixed scenario where prominence and risks both are associated, tapping undervalued tech-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) would be an intriguing option. These ETFS have lesser valuation than the broader tech ETF iShares U.S. Technology ETF (IYW - Free Report) (which has a P/E of 42.36X). P/E data are as per etfdb.com.

Invesco Next Gen Connectivity ETF (KNCT - Free Report) – P/E: 20.98X

Invesco S&P 500 Equal Weight Technology ETF (RSPT - Free Report) – P/E: 22.74X

State Street SPDR S&P Software & Services ETF (XSW - Free Report) – P/E: 22.99X

State Street SPDR S&P Kensho Future Security ETF (FITE - Free Report) – P/E: 23.16X

Invesco AI and Next Gen Software ETF (IGPT - Free Report) – P/E: 23.45X

The following is a letter to shareholders from the CEO of Safe & Green Holdings Corp.

CONROE, Texas, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Safe & Green Holdings Corp. (NASDAQ: SGBX) (“Safe & Green” or the “Company”) -- As we approach one year since Olenox/NAHD assumed an active leadership role at Safe & Green Holdings, I want to briefly reflect on our progress and outline the strategy guiding us forward.

Over the past year, we have reshaped the Company, strengthened shareholder value, and reduced debt. Despite challenges, decisive actions and strong teamwork have positioned us well for the next phase. During this period, we developed a unified strategy to integrate our business units into a cohesive, market-ready platform.

Olenox’s core business is energy. While our revenue primarily comes from oil and gas sales, we operate as a multifaceted, vertically integrated energy company focused on technologies that reduce production costs, unlock new value, and lower our carbon footprint.

Shortly after assuming leadership, it became clear that modular home construction did not align with the core strengths of either Safe & Green or Olenox. We completed outstanding projects and formally exited the sector last month.

Containerized construction, however, remains a strong asset. The Company holds a valuable license to use recycled shipping containers for new construction, and this capability aligns well with our energy-driven mission. The synergies between containerized construction and energy applications—such as generator enclosures, modular data centers, bitcoin mining units, and industrial systems—became a key driver in shaping our integrated strategy.

Our vision draws from the principle that value increases through both horizontal and vertical integration. For example, natural gas can generate greater value when converted into power, data, or bitcoin, and oil output can be enhanced through containerized modular micro-refineries that create refined products like diesel.

We are now positioning the Company as a fully integrated, technology-enabled, value-added energy producer with controlled manufacturing capabilities. Our focus going forward includes containerized generators, modular data centers, bitcoin mining units, and containerized micro-refineries. By combining in-house and licensed technologies, we can manage the energy value chain from the molecule to power, data output, or refined product.

We look forward to sharing continued progress as we execute this strategy.

Sincerely,

Michael McLaren

In connection with the Offering, the Company may pay finders' fees to certain eligible finders of up to 7% in cash of the gross proceeds raised in the Offering from subscribers introduced to the Company by such finders and up to 7% in finders warrants (the "Finder Warrants") of the aggregate number of Units placed by such finders, subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). Each Finder Warrant will entitle the holder thereof to purchase one (1) additional Unit at the Issue Price and will be exercisable for a period of 24 months from the closing of the Offering. Each Finder Warrant will be comprised of one Common Share and one Warrant.

Subscription Procedure
Existing shareholders and other investors interested in subscribing to the Offering should register their interest via email to [email protected].

Closing and Hold Period
Closing of the Offering is anticipated to be completed on or about December 16, 2025, or such other date or dates that the Company may determine and may close in tranches. Closing is subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals including (but not limited to) the receipt of approval from the TSXV for the listing of the Common Shares and the Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants.

The Warrants are not eligible to be listed and therefore will not be tradeable on the TSXV. The securities issued pursuant to the Offering shall be subject to a four-month plus one day hold period commencing on the day of the closing of the Offering, as applicable, under applicable Canadian securities laws. The Offering is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals including the approval of the TSXV.

Insider Participation
Certain directors and officers of the Company are expected to acquire Units under the Offering. Such participation will be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under the policies of the TSXV and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company anticipates relying on exemptions from the minority shareholder approval and formal valuation requirements applicable to the related-party transactions under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a), respectively, of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the Units to be acquired by the participating directors and officers nor the consideration to be paid by such directors and officers is anticipated to exceed 25 percent of the Company's market capitalization.

The securities described herein have not been, and will not be, registered under the United States Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and accordingly may not be offered or sold within the United States except in compliance with the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities requirements or pursuant to exemptions therefrom.

, /PRNewswire/ -- Abbott (NYSE: ABT) and Exact Sciences (NASDAQ: EXAS) today announced a definitive agreement for Abbott to acquire Exact Sciences, which will enable it to enter and lead in fast-growing cancer diagnostics segments, serving millions more people. Under the terms of the agreement, Exact Sciences shareholders will receive $105 per common share, representing a total equity value of approximately $21 billion.

Together, the companies will accelerate innovation, expand access to life-changing diagnostics, and help more people detect and manage cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages.

Exact Sciences focuses on the early detection of cancer and supporting personalized treatments. Exact Sciences' comprehensive product offerings support patients and their healthcare providers before, during and after a cancer diagnosis. The company is a leader in cancer screening, precision oncology and genetic testing, helping to detect cancer earlier, guide treatment decisions and monitor for recurrence.

Its product offerings include the Cologuard® test, a market-leading noninvasive colorectal cancer screening option; Oncotype DX®, which informs personalized treatment decisions for patients with breast cancer; Oncodetect™, which identifies molecular residual disease (MRD) to help assess the risk of recurrence and guide follow-up care; and Cancerguard™, a multi-cancer early detection blood test.

Approximately 20 million people globally, including 2 million Americans, are diagnosed with cancer every year. These numbers are only expected to rise in the coming years due to population growth, aging and other contributing factors.* 

"Exact Sciences' innovation, its strong brand and customer-focused execution are unrivaled in the cancer diagnostics space, and its presence and strengths are complementary to our own," said Robert B. Ford, chairman and chief executive officer, Abbott. "Abbott has repeatedly taken on the world's most challenging health issues and made a meaningful impact on the lives of people in areas such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and infectious diseases. We're excited to bring Exact Sciences' people and know-how into Abbott so that together, we can take on the global challenge of cancer."

"Together with Abbott, we can reach more patients, advance earlier detection, and deliver answers that change lives," said Kevin Conroy, chairman and chief executive officer, Exact Sciences. "Abbott's culture of innovation and global commercial reach will help accelerate our mission of eradicating cancer and expanding access to our tests worldwide, while delivering immediate and substantial value to our shareholders. I want to thank the 7,000 Exact Sciences' team members for their extraordinary work and dedication — our journey has just begun."

Financial & Operational
Under the terms of the agreement, Abbott will acquire all outstanding shares of Exact Sciences for $105 per common share in cash, at a total equity value of approximately $21 billion and an estimated enterprise value of $23 billion. Abbott's financing contemplates absorption of Exact Sciences' estimated $1.8 billion of net debt.

The closing is expected in the second quarter of 2026 and is subject to Exact Sciences' shareholder approval, as well as receipt of applicable regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. The transaction was unanimously approved by both companies' boards of directors.

Exact Sciences is projected to generate more than $3 billion in revenue this year, with a high teens organic sales growth rate. Once the transaction is completed, Exact Sciences will become a subsidiary of Abbott, and Abbott's total diagnostics sales will exceed $12 billion annually.

Following the closing, Exact Sciences will maintain its presence in Madison, Wis. Kevin Conroy will remain with the company in an advisory role to support the transition into Abbott and accelerate its global impact in helping to eradicate cancer worldwide.

Abbott Conference Call
Abbott will conduct a special conference call today at 8 a.m. Central Time (9 a.m. Eastern Time) to provide an overview of the transaction. A live webcast will be accessible through Abbott's Investor Relations website at www.abbottinvestor.com.

Walmart posts strong sales growth for Q3.
The retailer is gaining market share by attracting both low and high-income shoppers.
Outgoing CEO Doug McMillon will be succeeded by John Furner in January.

Even in challenging times, Walmart continues to deliver solid results.

The retail giant posted strong sales for the third quarter, with a 4.5% increase in same-store sales, beating analysts' expectations. Its e-commerce division saw a 27% increase during the quarter.

"We're gaining market share, improving delivery speed, and managing inventory well. We're well-positioned for a strong finish to the year and beyond that, thanks to our associates," outgoing CEO Doug McMillon said.

McMillon is set to retire in January and be succeeded by John Furner, who heads-up the company's US division.

Walmart is the largest retailer in the world, and more than one in four grocery dollars in the US is spent at one of Walmart stores. That scale gives the company a unique lens into the financial health of American households.

Kyndryl Holdings (KD) remains a Buy despite a 19% stock drop, as the company is executing a margin-focused turnaround and is undervalued. KD's Q2 revenue fell 1% YoY due to deliberate pruning of low-margin contracts, but margins and profitability improved significantly, validating management's strategy. A revenue rebound is expected in the second half of FY26, with Q3 guidance targeting 2-3% YoY growth and EBITDA margin above 18%.

Bitcoin Core has cleared its first-ever third-party security audit, with results confirming that the software securing the world’s largest decentralized network is highly mature.

The review, conducted by French security firm Quarkslab and commissioned by OSTIF on behalf of Brink, examined the project’s most sensitive components, particularly the peer-to-peer (P2P) layer and block validation logic, over a 104-day period between May and September.

According to the report, Bitcoin Core’s codebase is “the most mature and well-tested,” the auditors evaluated, despite its size, which includes more than 200,000 lines of C++ and over 1,200 tests already in place.

The team found no high- or medium-severity vulnerabilities, identifying only two low-severity issues and a series of improvement suggestions related mostly to fuzzing harnesses and test coverage. None of the findings had any impact on consensus, denial-of-service resilience or transaction validation.

Bitcoin Core audit identifies only two low-severity issues. Source: QuarkslabReviewers find no exploitable bugsThe audit placed heavy emphasis on Bitcoin’s P2P networking layer, the component responsible for relaying blocks, transactions and peer discovery across roughly 125 connections per node. Reviewers reported no cases where malicious data could bypass validation or the ban mechanism designed to isolate misbehaving peers.

The team also examined the mempool logic, chain-state transitions and reorganization handling, all areas where subtle bugs could create network-wide disruptions. No exploitable pathways were identified in these areas either.

“No significant security issues were identified. Most recommendations focus on refining existing fuzzing harnesses to further improve their effectiveness and coverage,” the report concluded.

Bitcoin Core vs. Knots debateThe audit comes amid the recent dispute between supporters of Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin Knots. The months-long debate, triggered by the Bitcoin Core v30 update, centers on whether non-financial data should be allowed on the blockchain, with critics warning the changes could “open the floodgate” to spam.

Knots supporters argue that filtering out such data is necessary to prevent illegal or unethical content from being embedded in Bitcoin’s ledger. Bitcoin Core developers, however, say imposing restrictions would harm network cohesion, confuse users and run counter to the technology’s foundational principles of openness and neutrality.

According to Galaxy Digital’s head of research, Alex Thorn, most institutional Bitcoin (BTC) investors appear unfazed by the dispute. Based on Thorn’s poll of 25 institutional clients, 46% weren’t aware of it, 36% said they didn’t care, and the remaining 18% all sided with Bitcoin Core.

World Liberty has started moving user funds after a major token burn. This comes after the security breach that exposed vulnerabilities on its systems. Also, the platform is facing claims of illegal token sales to North Korea and Russia.

World Liberty Responds After Security Breach
In a recent X thread, WLFI confirmed that a group of user wallets were compromised before the launch due to phishing incidents and exposed seed phrases. It shared that the breach was due to third-party security lapses.

1/ Prior to WLFI’s launch, a relatively small subset of user wallets were compromised via phishing attacks or exposed seed phrases.

Since then, we’ve tested new smart contract logic to safely reallocate user funds and verified users’ identity via KYC checks.

Shortly, users who…

— WLFI (@worldlibertyfi) November 19, 2025

WLFI promptly froze the compromised wallets back in September to protect affected holders. They then began a process to verify owners through KYC checks. Also, developers created new systems designed to move user balances into secure wallets without increasing risk.

The firm confirmed that it will soon start recovering funds from everyone who completed verification. However, the wallets of unverified ones will still be locked until they use the support channels.

This move comes after an emergency action reported earlier by Arkham analyst Emmett Gallic. In this incident, World Liberty executed a burn of 166.667 million WLFI tokens from the address. The value of the burn was more than $22 million. The tokens were then reassigned to a recovery wallet.

Source: Arkham
According to Gallic, the emergency function used in the burn was built for two situations. This is for when investors lose wallet access before vesting, and when a malicious actor gains WLFI through an exploit. This was the second major intervention on suspicious wallet activity in recent months.

Notably, the wallet of Tron founder Justin Sun was among those blacklisted at the time of the hack. He fought against the freeze then as well.

WLF Accused Of Illegal Token Sales By U.S Senators
CNBC reported that senators are reviewing the company because of its close relationship with the Trump family. Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed have called on the DOJ and the Treasury Department to check the company’s operations over token sales to individuals in North Korea and Russia.

Their complaints stem from a report by Accountable.US. They said the company sold WLFI tokens to suspicious entities during the early distribution phase. World Liberty has denied the claims.

A spokesperson said every presale participant was subject to high-level checks.

“World Liberty Financial performed the most rigorous AML/KYC checks in the industry on each pre-sale buyer of WLFI governance token, and rejected millions of dollars from would-be purchasers that did not pass the tests,” they said.

This is also in some way consistent with another criticism leveled at Binance after the Trump administration had pardoned Changpeng Zhao. Some lawmakers charged that the exchange had been backing Trump-connected projects like WLFI and its stablecoin USD1. Those claims were dismissed too.

Major technology and defense firms, including Ripple, Amazon, Microsoft and Apple, are linked to a fundraising network for the White House Ballroom Project.

The selloff experienced earlier this week has subsided over the past two days, with Bitcoin and Ether stabilizing around key support levels. Bitcoin is trading around the $92k region, while Ether has established support above $2,800. The market volatility remains as Ethereum whales begin to show signs of weakness following the sustained market decline.

Bitcoin (BTC) fell as much as 4.8% on Wednesday as the market underwent huge uncertainty before Nvidia earnings were released. Nevertheless, when better earnings than expected were announced, the $BTC price was able to recover most of its losses and ended the day back above major support.

Bitcoin or fiat currency?Bitcoin continues to be tossed on a sea of market uncertainty and a lack of liquidity. While we know that liquidity is coming, in the form of the Federal Reserve ending its quantitative tightening program, and further rate cuts, it may not come soon enough to stop Bitcoin’s slide to even lower prices.

All this said, ‘uncertainty’ is the name of the game here. No one knows when the market will pick up again, but if or when it does, Bitcoin is likely to lead the rebound. 

Some doomsayers will probably say that the entire financial system is in the process of melting down. This could be true, but the Trump administration is armed with one hell of a bazooka to print money if things start going badly awry. 

With Bitcoin it is a waiting game. Any institution worth its salt should be buying into this weakness, and that goes the same for retail investors who have long-term conviction. If in doubt, just think which you would rather own over the next few years - fiat currency or Bitcoin?

Confirmation of a W pattern?

Source: TradingView

The short-term chart for $BTC illustrates how the price has been rejected from the descending trendline (faint dotted line) and is now at support. It can be noted that a W pattern has formed, and has broken to the upside. Could the price now be coming back to test the neckline in order to confirm the pattern?

The Stochastic RSI indicators are at the top and just about to cross back down. While this isn’t a good sign for the W pattern retest, as momentum heads downwards, if the bulls are able to keep the price above the neckline until the indicator lines reset, this would potentially be very bullish. On the other hand, if the price falls through and negates the pattern, it could go on to form a lower low. $86,000 could then be the next possible target.

Bottoming process taking place

Source: TradingView

The daily chart gives a perspective into whether the current price action is forming a bottom, and it rather looks like it is. Looking back at previous price action it can be noted that the two previous bottoms were formed by lengthening candle wicks to the downside. Also, the Stochastic RSI indicators mirrored those bottoms.

The fact that the price has strong horizontal support and the bottom of the descending channel to rest on makes it more likely that this will end up being a bottom.

Bulls and bears play their last cards

Source: TradingView

In Wednesday’s article the possibility of redrawing the major trendline was discussed. This would take the trendline slightly down, enabling it to line up better with the price action and putting the price on top of the trendline instead of below it. This would put a far more bullish slant on the chart above.

That said, there is still the issue of the indicator line in the RSI falling through the 44.00 support line. RSI action below this line is normally associated with bear market activity. The bulls need to turn this around quickly.

Other than that, it looks as though the $BTC price is going through a bottoming process. If this is a bottom, it is likely to be a high time frame bottom, which would probably mean a big new wave to the upside. Then it would be a case of can $BTC break through the 8-year ascending trendline?

Key Takeaways 
Why is the UAE aggressively buying BTC? 
The country views it as “digital gold,” worth a long-term bet as a strategic asset. 

What’s the broader demand from other countries? 
There has been a steady rise in demand from governments worldwide; now this cohort holds over 645,000 BTC. 

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has tripled its Bitcoin holdings in 2025.

According to a Bloomberg report, Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC) scaled its position in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin [BTC] Trust (IBIT) by 230% by the end of Q3. 

At that time (end of September), the position was valued at nearly $518 million, about 8 million IBIT shares, up from 2.4 million three months earlier. 

ADIC operations are run independently, but it’s a subsidiary of Mubadala, a sovereign wealth fund that is fully owned by the UAE. Asked about the reasoning behind the aggressive BTC bid, an ADIC spokesperson told Bloomberg, 

“We see Bitcoin playing an increasingly important role alongside gold; both assets contribute to diversifying our portfolio, and we expect to hold them as part of our near and long-term strategy.”

That stance positioned BTC as a strategic reserve asset for the UAE. That raised a larger question: Was the nation-state game theory around BTC now taking shape?

Czech, El Salvador & more scale BTC holdings
Perhaps one of the most notable new players is the Czech Republic. The country’s central bank acquired its first $1 million in BTC, stablecoin, and tokenized products. 

Earlier in October, Luxembourg also announced that it had allocated 1% of its sovereign wealth fund to BTC and crypto assets, amounting to about €7 million. Other new buyers this year include Saudi Arabia. 

At the same time, OGs like El Salvador have upped their acquisition and recently added $100 million BTC, bringing the country’s overall stash to 7,474 coins, worth $676 million. 

Now, governments ranked as the third-largest holders of BTC, with 645,000 BTC, after public companies and ETFs. 

Source: Bitcoin Treasuries 

For digital asset manager Bitwise, the government’s overall BTC holdings translated to only 1.5% compared to 17% ownership in gold.

To the firm, this meant that BTC was still in the early stages of adoption among states, and acceleration could also boost its value. 

Q4 drawdown tests conviction

Source: Bitwise

Even so, the Q4 sell-off, which has resulted in a nearly 30% decline in the BTC price to $90k, has exposed current nation-state holders to a significant paper loss.

Perhaps the Q4 filings, expected in early 2026, will show which nations had strong long-term conviction during this period.

Ripple is now exploring whether staking, a feature used in many major blockchains, could eventually be introduced to the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The idea came into focus after RippleX engineering head J. Ayo Akinyele explained how staking might strengthen network security and give XRP more real-world utility as global DeFi activity grows. Ripple says nothing is confirmed yet, but it is actively studying how staking could fit into the XRPL’s long-term development.

Why Ripple Is Considering StakingAccording to Akinyele, staking could help the XRPL grow by encouraging more people to take part in validating and securing the network. Currently, XRP transaction fees are burned instead of being shared with participants. While this keeps the supply slightly deflationary, it does not reward those who support the ledger. Staking could change this by offering incentives, similar to what users see on networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Cosmos.

Ripple also wants the XRPL to stay competitive as more companies begin using XRP for treasury management and investment products. Adding a staking model would show that the network is adapting to a market where rewards, incentives, and token participation are becoming standard across DeFi.

Early Concepts, No Final Decision YetRipple CTO David Schwartz shared two early concepts for how staking might work, but emphasized that both ideas are still in the research phase. One idea involves a two-layer structure where a smaller validator group receives staking rewards while the larger validator set continues managing the network. 

The second idea keeps the current consensus system in place but uses network fees to support “zero-knowledge proofs,” allowing participants to verify activity without revealing private information.

Schwartz made it clear that both options would require major changes and extensive testing. Because of this, staking will not be coming to the XRPL anytime soon.

Ripple Supports Moves to Modernize U.S. Crypto PaymentsAs Ripple studies staking, it’s also monitoring regulatory developments in the U.S. Earlier this month, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller suggested that crypto firms, including stablecoin issuers, should get direct access to the Fed’s payment systems. Ripple welcomed the suggestion, saying it would reduce banking delays and improve stability for its stablecoin, RLUSD.

Ripple’s chief legal officer, Stu Alderoty, noted that direct access could help RLUSD compete with leading stablecoins like USDT and USDC by improving settlement speeds and redemption reliability. He also said that avoiding traditional banking intermediaries would make it easier to move between U.S. Treasuries and dollars.

XRP ETF UpdateThe staking discussion comes at a time when interest in XRP is picking up following the launch of Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF, which has attracted more than $257 million since November 13. Despite this momentum, XRP is still down 13% over the past month as the market reacts to the recent U.S. government shutdown and uncertainty around upcoming Fed decisions.

Meanwhile, several third-party platforms are already offering staking-style rewards for XRP, showing that utility and demand may continue growing even without immediate changes to the XRPL.

FAQsIs staking coming to the XRP Ledger?

Yes, Ripple is actively exploring staking for XRPL, but it’s still in the early research phase with no final decision or timeline yet.

Why is Ripple considering adding staking to XRP?

Staking would reward validators, boost network security, increase XRP’s real-world utility, and keep XRPL competitive in DeFi, where rewards are now standard.

When will staking be available on the XRP Ledger?

Not anytime soon—both proposed models require major changes and extensive testing; implementation is likely still years away.

How might staking actually work on XRPL?

Two early ideas: 1) A smaller rewarded validator tier on top of the current system, or 2) Using burned fees to fund zero-knowledge proof verification rewards while keeping consensus unchanged.

Can I already stake XRP and earn rewards today?

Yes—several trusted platforms (like Uphold, Nexo, and Binance) already offer staking-style yield on XRP through lending or wrapped versions, even without native XRPL staking.

ATOM is today's top gainer, followed by ZEC and PI.

Bitcoin’s adverse price actions returned yesterday when the asset suddenly dipped below $88,500 to mark a new seven-month low before staging a modest recovery.

Ethereum also dumped hard but has returned to $3,000, BNB flirts with $900, while ZEC continues to trade higher.

BTC’s Latest Local Low
Recall that just over a week ago bitcoin was rejected at $107,000 when the positive US developments failed to provide the necessary bullish momentum for the asset to jump past $110,000. The following ten days or so were quite violent, which began with a nosedive to under $100,000 by last Thursday.

This time, the bulls couldn’t intervene on time, and BTC kept plunging to $94,000 on the next day. It finally found some relief over the weekend, remaining sideways between $94,000 and $96,000. On Sunday afternoon, though, the bears returned and drove it further south to $93,000.

The beginning of the current business week was quite painful as well as the cryptocurrency fell beneath $90,000 to chart a seven-month low. Although it bounced to $94,000 yesterday, it was quickly rejected and pushed back down below $90,000, this time bottoming at $88,400 (on Bitstamp), a level last seen in April 2025.

It has managed to recover some ground since then, but still stands below $92,000 as of press time. Its market cap struggles at $1.830 trillion, while its dominance over the alts stands still at 57%.

ZEC, ATOM on the Rise
Ethereum dumped hard yesterday, losing the $3,000 and even the $2,900 levels to touch $2,880. The subsequent bounce, as seen by analysts, is a perfect setup for a liftoff, and the asset has returned to $3,000 as of now. Binance Coin stands at $900 after a minor decline since yesterday. while XRP, TRX, DOGE, and ADA are slightly in the red.

In contrast, SOL, HYPE, BCH, and LINK are in the green. ZEC has rocketed by another 8% to $675, while ATOM has added 12% of value and now sits above $3. Pi Network’s native token has jumped by 8-9% after positive news on the regulatory front.

The total crypto market cap, though, has lost around $20 billion in a day and is down to $3.210 trillion on CG.

Market sentiment stayed mixed as traders reacted to shifting conditions. 

However, Solana ETF flows maintained their upward direction. Fidelity added 7.5 million dollars while Grayscale posted 41.1 million dollars. VanEck followed with 3.5 million dollars, extending its own streak.

Solana’s resilience continued to draw focus across social channels. 

CryptosRus noted that institutions kept accumulating through the turbulence. The post highlighted the steady green prints since the ETF launch. The uninterrupted run created renewed attention on Solana’s positioning.

SOL Price Holds Near $142 as Traders Eye Structure
Solana traded around $142 today according to CoinGecko. The token posted a 1.82 percent gain in the past 24 hours. Weekly performance showed an 8.31 percent pullback. Trading volume reached more than 7.1 billion dollars during the same window.

Traders assessed price structure while examining near-term signals. 

Veteran trader Matthew Dixon commented on the broader pattern in a recent post. He noted uncertainty around impulsive formations from Solana’s all-time high. His view pointed to a possible extended correction phase.

Market watchers monitored the possibility of a triangle formation. 

Dixon suggested such a pattern could emerge as volatility eased. He noted that a longer-term correction remained possible. The comment added context to Solana’s current structure.

I dont see any impulsive structure either up or down from the #SOL ATH
We may therefore still be within a longer term $SOL correction which could take various forms until the uncertainty dissipates
We could certainly see a triangle as one of those possibilities but either way I… pic.twitter.com/NcOYGpuUf4
