💰 Aave Takes Aim at Banks, Fintechs with New Aave AppThere’s a major new player entering the neobank space.
And this time, from a very trusted name in DeFi.
📌 What HappenedAave rolled out its new “Aave App” yesterday, as a consumer-facing savings product that looks and feels like a neobank.
The reasons to deposit and use the Aave app are pretty clear:
Up to 9% yield on savings
$1M in balance protection (compared to $250,000 at FDIC-insured banks)
12,000 supported banks and cards
It also offers other “fintech” features like automated savings, a compounding visualizer for its yield tracking and more, along with state-of-the-art” account security and recovery
The app is launching in early access on iOS, with Android and web versions “coming soon.”
For those unfamiliar, Aave is one of the most established and trusted players in Ethereum DeFi, boasting $30B+ billion in total deposits at time of writing.
🗣️ What They’re Saying“I don’t think people realize just how big this is for the industry.
A DeFi app is offering insurance on assets of up to $1 million.
The average Bank insures funds $250,000 per depositor.
Offering a sleek app + protecting user funds = Onboarding non crypto native users.
Aave may just turn into the RobinHood of Lending.
Big win for safe DeFi.” - Emperor Osmo, on X
“With the announcement of Aave App, Aave directly competes with banks (and neo banks) by offering a better yield on deposits to the common user.
But how competitive are Aave rates historically?
We analysed Aave stablecoin APYs and compared with T-Bills across three monetary-policy regimes…
Across all three, Aave stablecoin APYs outperform T-bills, NSR, and MMR on average. Aave consistently beats NSR and MMR throughout and while T-bills occasionally surpass Aave, those periods are shorter, rarer, and offer a smaller spread than the stretches where Aave yields are higher.
In other words: the valleys are smaller than the peaks, which is why Aave maintains a structurally higher average.” Sealaunch Intelligence, on X
🧠 Why It MattersThis launch hits at a bigger shift: neobanks rising and challenging in the fintech space.
Fintech apps have already been chipping away at traditional banks for a decade by offering cleaner UX, mobile-first design, and better rates.
But those neobanks were still operating within the old banking rails. Aave isn’t.
Being crypto-native gives Aave an advantage (higher yields, 24/7 liquidity, global reach, and less overhead).
If they can really offer 9% APY with $1M in account protection, they will capture major attention. That is a major differentiator from off-the-shelf savings and MM accounts at most banks.
Stepping back, the concept of neobanks makes sense as a bridge between traditional finance and banking and crypto.
For those unfamiliar, a “neobank” is effectively an app where one can deposit and store dollars/stablecoins, interact with credit cards, send payments and in general function like a banking account.
They often come with more user-friendly apps, are more nimble than the trad banks and often offer better yield. But not the kind of yield Aave is offering.
Several new players are competing in this space, but none with the pedigree of Aave.
If Aave can deliver a smooth, compliant, trustworthy product, it becomes a real contender in the banking market.

Zcash Price Prediction as ZEC Becomes a Top 20 Global Crypto – Can it Overtake XRP?
Zcash Price Prediction has explored ZEC's move into the crypto top 10, its 220% surge and retrace to a $9B market cap, key resistance at $604–$700, major $500–$530 support, and how rising Coinbase searches and privacy advocates have shaped sentiment.
Amid market sell-off, XRP skyrockets 71% in volume to $7.4 billion as traders adjust their positionings in anticipation of what comes next.

XRP is caught up in the recent market sell-off, extending a seven-day drop to a low of $2.10 on Tuesday.
The broader crypto markets remain under pressure as risk sentiment wanes and technical signals dominate short-term trading behavior across major cryptocurrencies.
The sell-off in the last 24 hours has resulted in over $1.03 billion in liquidations, of which $726.52 million are long positions and $308.22 million in shorts, according to CoinGlass data. XRP saw $41.29 million in liquidations over the last 24 hours as the price fell; several altcoins have now fallen to multimonth lows.

— Santiment (@santimentfeed) November 17, 2025 According to on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the vast majority of cryptocurrencies are now flashing extreme pain for average trading returns. Santiment shares average trading returns based on the MVRV indicator for major cryptocurrencies, including XRP, in the last 30 days.
XRP wallets active in the past 30 days saw an average performance of -10.2%, which puts XRP in a "good buy" zone. The lower the MVRV goes, the higher the probability of a faster recovery.
Market sentiment hit "extreme fear" as volatility jumped, with the Fear & Greed Index falling to lows last seen in July 2022, increasing the chances of a relief rally.
If the market rebounds, XRP would face its next resistance at $2.50 and $2.63, which are the daily MA 50 and 200, while the $2 level might be tested as the price support before the next upward move begins.

to facilitate verified username transfers across self-custody wallets.
The company has also tapped into payment API firm Mercuryo for verifying user and issuing aliases linked to their on-chain identity.
Mastercard said that the reason behind choosing Polygon as its initial integration partner was due to the network’s transaction speed, reliability, and payments-oriented infrastructure needed to support the rollout.

Mastercard Partners With Polygon for Its Crypto Credential Framework
In its official press release, Mastercard said that its Crypto Credential framework introduces standardized verification for blockchain addresses by assigning human-readable aliases linked to verified individuals.
Under the system, crypto payments API provider Mercuryo will handle identity verification and issue these aliases. This will allow users to connect to their self-custody wallets.
This model is similar to mainstream payment apps that use usernames instead of bank account details, giving users a unique identifier that can be mapped to their wallets.
Users can also request a Polygon-based token, indicating that their wallet supports verified transfers. This is Mastercard’s another major blockchain collaboration, after Chainlink, earlier this year.
This will further allow applications to route credential-based transactions more efficiently.
Speaking on the development, Raj Dhamodharan, Executive Vice President of Blockchain & Digital Assets at Mastercard, said:
“By streamlining wallet addresses and adding meaningful verification, Mastercard Crypto Credential is building trust in digital token transfers. Bringing Mercuryo and Polygon’s capabilities together with our infrastructure makes digital assets more accessible and reinforces Mastercard’s commitment to delivering secure, intuitive, and scalable blockchain experiences for consumers worldwide.”
Leveraging PoS Network for Fast Settlement and High Throughput
Polygon’s Proof-of-Stake chain offers fast settlement, low transaction costs, and high throughput, making it suitable for payment-scale activity.

Bitcoin Dominance Crashes Below 60%, Altcoin Season Coming
Bitcoin’s price crash from $126K to $89K has shocked the entire market, and its dominance dropping under 60% has added more pressure.
While many traders are worried, Veteran trader Michael van de Poppe sees something positive happening. He says Bitcoin’s current dominance looks almost exactly like 2019, right before altcoins began to rally.
Is this the start of a new altcoin season?
Bitcoin Dominance Shows a Familiar PatternAccording to Van de Poppe’s 1-week Bitcoin dominance chart adds an important visual clue to the current market mood.
His chart shows that Bitcoin dominance is now following a pattern very similar to what happened in 2019, when dominance hit a key resistance level, failed to break higher, and then began falling.
In the weekly chart, Bitcoin dominance appears to have been rejected at the 20-week moving average, just like in the previous cycles.
Meanwhile, Van de Poppe explains that this kind of rejection often appears near market bottoms, not market tops. And historically, this is exactly when altcoins start to outperform Bitcoin.
Historical Pattern Hints Towards Altcoin SeasonBacking his view, Van de Poppe points to past cycles where the same pattern played out, in 2016–2017, again in 2019–2020, and later in 2021. Each time, Bitcoin cooled down, its dominance slipped, and altcoins began to run ahead.
His current chart shows a nearly identical setup, hinting that the market may be getting ready for another similar shift, with altcoins potentially taking the lead once more.
Adding to the bullish outlook, crypto analyst Matthew Hyland notes that Bitcoin’s dominance is weakening. He argues that this drop could open the door for a strong altcoin season soon.
According to him, after nearly four years of waiting, the moment for mid-cap and low-cap altcoins to take the lead may finally be here.
Interestingly, while Bitcoin & its dominance dropped, its social activity spiked to a four-month high. This usually happens when retail traders panic and flood social media with fear and emotional reactions.
These spikes often appear near turning points, when the market is extremely negative but quietly preparing for relief.

Cardano Price Prediction 2025: Can ADA Hold Its Last Major Support Zone?
The debate around Cardano price prediction 2025 has intensified as the Cardano crypto ecosystem faces one of its weakest on-chain periods in years. While the Cardano price today struggles to retain key support levels, on-chain data, user behavior, and shrinking stablecoin liquidity are shaping the next potential trend for ADA in 2025.
Cardano’s On-Chain Weakness Deepens Through 2025Looking at the broader Cardano price chart and ecosystem trends, November data highlights a persistent decline across major on-chain metrics. Cardano’s TVL has fallen to $212.9 million, while active addresses stand at 357,270, both significantly lower on a year-to-date and three-year basis.
Also, the past 7 days show stablecoin liquidity on Cardano shrinking to $38.13 million, according to DefiLlama, reflecting reduced capital efficiency and limited DeFi engagement. These shifts raise concerns about the sustainability of ADA price USD trends as 2025 progresses.
Despite these declines, the network continues to expand in long-term holder count, surpassing 3.175 million wallets. Recent data suggests retail accumulation remains active even as larger investors become increasingly cautious during periods of low activity.
Market Sentiment Turns Bearish as ADA Tests Critical LevelsSentiment across the market has grown more skeptical, largely driven by Cardano’s stagnant daily revenue, flattened DEX trading volumes, limited stablecoin integration, and minimal user growth.
Critics argue that despite its $16.7 billion market cap and top-10 global ranking in November 2025, the platform’s activity levels do not justify its valuation when compared to other large-cap assets.
As a result, more holders appear to be exiting positions, contributing to growing downward pressure on the token. Analysts now emphasize that ADA has broken below weekly support, with the next major demand zone located in the $0.30–$0.32 region. This area may determine the trajectory of the ADA price prediction for the months ahead.
Technical Setup Suggests a Make-or-Break Phase for 2025While on-chain weakness is evident, some analysts still express cautious optimism about ADA’s technical posture. They highlight that the long-term support range has historically triggered relief rallies or accumulation phases. If ADA manages to defend the $0.30 zone, the Cardano price prediction 2025 could stabilize and possibly attempt a recovery if sentiment strengthens.
Conversely, sustained weakness across revenue, liquidity, and address activity may keep pressure on Cardano price today, making the upcoming months pivotal for the wider ADA price forecast.

Libra Scandal Wallets Quietly Move $4M and Go All-In on Solana
The crypto market is deep in the red, with a sharp sell-off dragging Bitcoin below the $90,000 mark to $89,390, its lowest level since April. What started as a routine correction has turned into a heavy downturn fueled by ETF outflows, whale-driven short positions, and thinning liquidity. Ethereum has lost its crucial $3,000 support, confirming a bearish phase, while BNB has slipped under $900. Solana is hovering near $130, Dogecoin is stuck around $0.15, and Cardano is trading close to $0.45. Still, not every coin is bleeding. XRP is holding steady above $2.11, and Chainlink remains firm above $13.11.
Millions Exit Libra and Flow Into SolanaAmid this crypto downtrend, wallets linked to the controversial Libra memecoin scandal are making bold, unexpected moves. Nearly $4 million has been withdrawn from the failing Libra ecosystem and quickly rotated into Solana. On-chain data shows two wallets, known as “Libra Deployer” (Defcy) and “Libra Wallet” (61yKS), snapping up an eye-popping $61.5 million worth of SOL at an average of $135, taking advantage of Solana’s dip during the broader market correction. Before the buys, these wallets were heavily stocked with stablecoins, holding a combined $57 million USDC primed for deployment.
A Scandal That Wiped Out BillionsThese wallet movements come months after one of crypto’s biggest memecoin implosions. The Libra token, controversially endorsed by Argentine President Javier Milei, collapsed spectacularly when eight insider wallets cashed out $107 million in liquidity, triggering a $4 billion market wipeout in just hours. The fallout even prompted Argentine attorney Gregorio Dalbon to request an Interpol Red Notice for Libra creator Hayden Davis, citing concerns that his access to large funds could help him flee ongoing investigations.
Court Freezes, Sudden Reversals, and a Troubled HistoryThe scandal soon reached U.S. courts, where Judge Jennifer Rochon froze $57.6 million in USDC belonging to crypto venture firm Kelsier Ventures and its founders, the Davis brothers. The lawsuit alleges they misled investors through the Libra token. Surprisingly, by August, the freeze was lifted after the judge concluded that releasing the funds wouldn’t harm victims since reimbursements were still possible.
Davis himself is no stranger to controversy. He previously launched the MELANIA memecoin and the Wolf of Wall Street-themed WOLF token, the latter crashing 99% in two days due to an insider allocation exceeding 80%.
Altcoin Hunting Amid ChaosNow, despite investigations, lawsuits, and widespread backlash, Libra-linked wallets are shifting focus. Their latest moves indicate a transition from launching insider-heavy memecoins to aggressively accumulating altcoins like Solana during market dips. With millions still moving through these addresses, the industry continues to watch closely as the scandal evolves.

FAQsWhy is the crypto market down today?
The market is down due to ETF outflows, whale-driven selling, and thinning liquidity, pushing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many altcoins lower.
What’s happening with Libra-linked wallets?
Libra wallets are moving millions from stablecoins into Solana, capitalizing on market dips despite ongoing lawsuits and past scandals.
How did the Libra memecoin scandal impact the market?
Libra’s collapse wiped out $4 billion, froze $57.6M in USDC, and triggered legal action, shaking investor confidence in memecoins.

These two altcoins have passionate followings, but one of them is a much stronger investment.
XRP (XRP 1.21%) and Dogecoin (DOGE 0.84%) are both top 10 cryptocurrencies -- and that's where their similarities end. XRP is all business, with payments company Ripple developing it to make international money transfers faster and more affordable. Dogecoin is all amusement, created to poke fun at price speculation surrounding cryptocurrencies.
On that basis, XRP may seem like the better investment. However, the cryptocurrency market isn't known for behaving rationally, and meme coins have outperformed serious projects in the past. So, are you better off with XRP or Dogecoin in your crypto portfolio? Let's find out.
Image source: Getty Images.
The long-term outlook favors XRP
XRP is an interesting investment because of the role it serves on Ripple's blockchain payments network. Financial institutions can use XRP as a bridge currency in cross-border payments through the network's on-demand liquidity feature. Instead of needing accounts pre-funded with different currencies, they can simply convert payments to XRP, which can then be converted to the recipient's currency upon arrival.
The fact that XRP has real-world utility gives it a substantial advantage over Dogecoin as an investment. If enough banks decide to use XRP, it will create demand and drive up the value.

Dogecoin, on the other hand, doesn't have much of a use case. You can use it as a payment method, but the same is true with any other cryptocurrency. Without any unique source of value, Dogecoin is dependent on speculation and hype.
The case for Dogecoin
There are arguments to be made for holding Dogecoin over XRP, though. Even though they're both large cryptocurrencies, XRP is quite a bit larger -- it has a market cap of $135 billion, over five times higher than Dogecoin ($24 billion, both as of Nov. 14). It will take a lot more money to push XRP's price up than it will for Dogecoin to go on a run.

XRP also has centralization concerns. While it is technically decentralized, with independent validator nodes confirming transactions, Ripple has influence in selecting validators and in the protocol that those validators follow. It also holds over 35 billion XRP tokens in escrow out of a total supply of 100 billion tokens. Ripple releases 1 billion tokens monthly to fund operations, and then puts unused tokens back into escrow.
Which cryptocurrency is the better buy?
XRP seems more likely to grow in value over the next five to 10 years than Dogecoin. If you're deciding between the two of them, that's the one I'd pick.
That said, XRP is highly risky and largely unproven. While over 300 financial institutions reportedly use Ripple's services, most haven't tried XRP, because they don't need it. XRP has potential, but adoption will need to pick up significantly to justify the coin's market cap.
Cryptocurrency as a whole should only make up a small portion of your portfolio, since it's so volatile. You may also want to buy multiple types of cryptocurrency instead of going all-in on one, like XRP. A safer bet would be to invest in XRP and a few others, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, to have some diversification.

Ledn has originated more than $1 billion in loans in 2025, pushing annual recurring revenue above $100 million.
Tether has made a strategic investment in bitcoin-backed lending platform Ledn — a move aimed at expanding individual and business access to credit without requiring borrowers to sell their digital assets.
Ledn operates a custody, risk management, and liquidation system designed to keep client assets secure throughout the life of each loan. The company has originated more than $2.8 billion in bitcoin-backed loans since its founding, including over $1 billion so far this year.
In the third quarter alone, Ledn originated a record $392 million in loans, nearly matching its entire 2024 volume, and reported more than $100 million in annual recurring revenue — underscoring growing demand for bitcoin-backed lending products.
By enabling borrowers to use bitcoin as collateral rather than sell it, the firms say they are opening new pathways for wealth preservation, financial resilience, and additional use cases.
"This approach strengthens self-custody and financial resilience, while creating real-world use cases that reinforce the long-term role of digital assets as essential pillars of a more inclusive global financial system," Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement shared with The Block, without disclosing the size and further details of the investment.
Growing market for crypto-backed creditThe crypto lending niche suffered significant setbacks following a tumultuous year for centralized services in 2022 — a period that saw the bankruptcy of firms like BlockFi, Celsius, Genesis, and Voyager Digital.
Following those events, it remained unclear to what extent users would trust such services going forward. Ledn co-founder and CSO Mauricio Di Bartolomeo previously told The Block the company survived the period because of its "sound risk management program" and "prioritization of the safety and security" of its clients' assets.
More recently, the firm said the key to its staying power comes down to its simple, transparent, and compliant approach — maintaining a fully collateralized model, conducting regular third-party Proof of Reserves attestations, and operating through regulated VASP entities.
Now, Tether's investment comes as the broader crypto-backed lending market is projected to expand significantly. According to a report from Data Intelo, the sector could grow from an estimated $7.8 billion in 2024 to more than $60 billion by 2033, driven by rising demand for alternative forms of credit that use digital assets as collateral.
"We expect demand for bitcoin financial services to continue soaring, and this collaboration with Tether ensures that Ledn remains well-positioned to lead as the market continues to evolve and grow," Ledn co-founder and CEO Adam Reeds said on Tuesday.

Here's Why The Bitcoin Price Could Pump To $110,000 This Week
The Bitcoin price has spent the past few days struggling to recover from its sharp breakdown below $100,000, a move that rattled traders and briefly pushed the crypto market into one of its weakest phases in many months. Bitcoin’s price action has hovered in the mid-$90,000 range since the drop, but the past 24 hours have been highlighted by a break below $90,000.
In the middle of this bearish volatility, a new technical outlook from Tony “The Bull” Severino suggests that Bitcoin’s next move may be more bullish than the recent weakness implies.
A Death Cross Forms During The Bitcoin Price Downtrend
Tony’s analysis highlights the developing death cross on the daily timeframe, where the 50-day moving average is now bending down toward the 200-day moving average. The pattern is generally viewed as bearish, but the placement of the moving averages and the slope of the short-term line show something different unfolding on Bitcoin’s chart.
The green 50-day average has been gradually drifting lower after weeks of fading momentum, and the red 200-day average has begun flattening out from the long-term uptrend. As shown on the chart below, this death cross has formed around $110,000, and according to the analyst, Bitcoin might pump into this price level next week.
The reason a pump remains possible at this stage is tied directly to how moving averages behave. After the breakdown beneath $100,000, Bitcoin found support just below $92,000 and has since been forming a series of smaller-bodied candles that reflect the early stages of a potential reversal.
If buyers take control, a fast move toward the region between $103,000 and $110,000 becomes realistic. However, price action in the past 24 hours, which has seen Bitcoin break below $90,000, threatens this bullish outlook.

The Path To $110,000 This Week
For Bitcoin to reach $110,000 in the coming days, the market would need to replay a pattern seen several times in past cycles: a strong relief rally just before or immediately after a death cross forms.
These rallies happen because sentiment becomes overly pessimistic at the exact moment when shorts begin to pile in, leaving the price vulnerable to a sharp upside reaction. However, for that scenario to unfold now, Bitcoin would first need to push convincingly back above $90,000 and show that momentum is shifting away from the recent sell-off.
Interestingly, other analysts have pointed to bullish primers for Bitcoin, despite the bearish price action. One such case is the Bitcoin SSR RSI, which was highlighted by a CryptoQuant community analyst called Maartunn, that shows rising stablecoin buying power relative to Bitcoin’s market cap.
On the other hand, a bearish indicator has risen up with the SuperTrend indicator, which proposes a further 67% drop in the price of Bitcoin. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $89,760, down by 5.8% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin capitulation wave builds as ETF outflows, rate shocks hit crypto: analysts
Bitcoin capitulation wave builds as ETF outflows, rate shocks hit crypto: analystsMarkets

Quick Take
More than $1 billion in crypto liquidations have occurred in the last 24 hours, with long positions accounting for the majority of the wipeout.
Analysts warn that BTC must reclaim $95,000–$100,000 to avoid further structural weakening as onchain stress and ETF flows intensify.
Crypto markets are facing a deepening capitulation phase after Bitcoin slid below $90,000 on Tuesday, driven by a mix of hawkish rate repricing, heavy ETF outflows, and deteriorating liquidity conditions. Analysts say the move reflects a coordinated risk-off impulse that has cut across global markets ahead of key macro releases this week.
According to The Block’s price page, BTC recovered slightly to $91,200 after setting an intraday low of around $89,300. These price levels were last seen in April, marking a seven-month low for the largest cryptocurrency. Year-to-date totals have also turned negative.
Ethereum briefly slipped toward $3,000, while BNB and Solana moved lower to roughly $910 and $135, respectively. Total crypto market capitalization fell to $3.09 trillion, erasing several weeks of gradual rebuilding.
Macro repricing reignites risk aversionThe broad decline follows a series of warnings from experts about structural fragility in crypto’s liquidity profile. Earlier this month, data provider Kaiko reported that Bitcoin’s market depth dropped roughly 30% from this year’s peak, reducing the market’s ability to absorb large orders without sharp price swings.
A hawkish repricing in U.S. rate expectations has been the dominant catalyst behind the sell-off, according to multiple analyst takes shared with The Block. Recent Federal Reserve communications pushed markets away from expecting a December rate cut, with probabilities sliding toward the 50% zone on Polymarket and the CME FedWatch tool.
Even a marginal shift in rate expectations was enough to tighten financial conditions and prompt deleveraging of risk assets, said Timothy Misir, head of research at BRN.
"The macro impulse was unambiguously hawkish," Misir wrote. "Fed repricing wiped out expectations of a December cut as yields rose, and risk assets unwound sharply."
Odds for December rate cut | Image: Polymarket
Global risk sentiment deteriorated alongside crypto. Asian equities weakened on softer growth data, Europe opened defensively, and U.S. tech futures extended declines as investors reassessed positioning ahead of Nvidia’s earnings and U.S. employment data later this week.
"The global stock sell-off is gathering steam and developing the self-perpetuating quality of bearish markets," Kyle Rodda, senior financial market analyst at Capital.com, stated. He noted that Bitcoin remains the "barometer for risk appetite" and that its slide below key psychological levels is "an ominous signal" for broader financial markets.
ETF outflows intensify as liquidity thinsETF redemptions compounded the downturn. According to The Block’s earlier reporting, Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs posted a combined $437 million in outflows last week. Analysts described the break of $90,000 as a "significant psychological shift," noting that thin liquidity and concentrated leverage made the market more vulnerable to shocks.
CoinGlass data shows more than $1 billion in crypto liquidations over the last 24 hours, with long worth over $723 million alone.
Onchain flows show late-stage capitulation — but not a confirmed bottomSeveral onchain indicators are now flashing capitulation signals, market experts surmised. Short-Term Holders, a cohort whose average cost basis sits near $94,000, have been aggressively offloading as price slips further below their entry range. Misir said 31,800 bitcoins were sent to exchanges at a realized loss, with approximately 148,000 BTC sold below $100,000, highlighting distress among newer entrants.
"Without ETF absorption, spot demand remains brittle," Misir added. "The tape shows capitulation — not yet a structural bottom, but textbook stress."
Still, spot buyers with long-duration horizons continue to accumulate despite the downturn. El Salvador added 1,098 BTC in the past week, bringing its holdings to 7,474 BTC worth roughly $685 million. Michael Saylor’s bitcoin treasury firm, Strategy, pushed its total to 649,870 BTC, valued at over $48 billion. "These flows don’t neutralize selling pressure in real time," Misir noted, "but they build latent structural support."
"The market is in the late stages of a capitulation cycle," Misir said. "Fear is high, liquidity is thin, and derivatives leverage continues to unwind."

Tether Invests in Ledn to Expand Bitcoin-Backed Lending Amid Surging Demand
Tether Invests in Ledn to Expand Bitcoin-Backed Lending Amid Surging DemandThe stablecoin issuer's investment comes as BTC-backed lending scales rapidly, with Ledn surpassing $1 billion in originations this year and positioning for global expansion. Nov 18, 2025, 1:05 p.m.
Tether has made a strategic investment in Ledn, one of the foremost providers of bitcoin-backed consumer loans, in a move aimed at expanding access to credit secured by digital assets, the firm said in an emailed announcement on Tuesday.
The size of the investment has not been disclosed. Tether declined to provide further details when contacted by CoinDesk.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
The investment forms part of Tether’s push to support real-world financial services built on digital asset rails. Bitcoin-backed lending allows users to access liquidity without selling BTC to unlock short-term capital.
Ledn was the survivor of a rout of the crypto-backed lending sector in 2022, which saw the likes of BlockFi, Voyager, Celsius and Genesis collapse.
The Cayman Islands-registered company has streamlined its service, following a bitcoin-only model to simplify its offering and sharpen its focus.
Ledn, which has originated over $2.8 billion in BTC-backed loans since launch, is on track for its strongest year yet. More than $1 billion in loans have been issued in 2025, including $392 million in Q3, nearly matching the firm’s entire 2024 volume.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said the investment reflects a commitment to financial empowerment through self-custodial credit.

Fidelity Introduces FSOL ETF, Bringing Major Wall Street Name to Solana Funds
The firm’s staking-enabled Solana fund debuts as inflows into early SOL products accelerate.Updated Nov 18, 2025, 12:22 a.m. Published Nov 18, 2025, 12:21 a.m.
EMBARGO 9:30am ET
Fidelity is entering the Solana SOL$137.13 exchange-traded fund (ETF) market with the Fidelity Solana Fund (FSOL), the firm’s third crypto exchange-traded product and its first to include a staking feature.
FSOL, which starts trading Tuesday on NYSE Arca, brings one of the largest asset managers to a still-young corner of the Solana ETF market. Until now, only three spot Solana funds are trading in the U.S. Fidelity’s arrival raises the profile of the sector and gives investors a familiar name as they look for ways to track SOL without holding tokens directly.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
The timing sets up a crowded day, with Canary Capital is also introducing a spot Solana ETF. The new products expand the field just as interest in Solana investment products is climbing. VanEck entered the market on Monday with its own Solana ETF.
The competitive backdrop has been shaped by a pair of early movers. Bitwise and Grayscale debuted the first Solana funds this year, and Bitwise’s product, BSOL, has emerged as an early standout. BSOL has taken in $450 million since it started at the end of October, making it one of the strongest ETF debuts of 2025. The inflows hint at growing demand from investors who want simple, regulated access to the Solana ecosystem.
Fidelity has been building toward this moment for a decade. The firm began exploring digital assets in 2014 and now runs trading, custody, research and investment services that mirror the support it offers for stocks and bonds. Its lineup includes spot bitcoin and ether funds, as well as a tokenized share class for a Treasury fund and its blockchain-based interest token.

ETH Dips Below $3,000 But Tom Lee Predicts It's 'Pretty Close To Bottoming This Week'
Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) is back above $3,000 on Tuesday morning as Fundstrat's Tom Lee predicts it is "pretty close to bottoming this week."
Tom Lee Flags Multiple Signs Ethereum May Be Near A BottomLee on Monday on CNBC said that Ethereum's long-term narrative remains intact despite recent volatility.
He highlighted stablecoin creation, BlackRock's push to tokenize assets and Wall Street's interest in bringing stocks, bonds and real estate on-chain.
He described Ethereum as the only "neutral, 100% uptime blockchain" capable of supporting that shift.
Lee also noted that Ethereum has several ways of forming a structural floor.
One is the ratio between ETH's market value and the value of assets locked on the network.
He said Ethereum historically bottoms when that ratio hits about 50%, adding that current readings are near that level.
A second indicator, Lee said, is Ethereum's ratio to Bitcoin.
He cited an ETH–BTC ratio of 0.032 against an eight-year average that implies a theoretical valuation near $12,000.
He argued that Ethereum is undervalued and gaining relative strength compared to Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) this year.
ETH Struggles Under Trendline Pressure
ETH Price Analysis (Source: TradingView)
Ethereum remains pinned below the descending trendline that has rejected every rally since mid-October.
Attempts to break into the $3,350 to $3,500 zone have failed, creating a sequence of lower highs that signals controlled selling.
The market continues to react to "trendline memory," and sellers have defended that level consistently.
The 20-day EMA sits near $3,397 and has capped every bounce.
The 50-day EMA at $3,705 and the 100-day EMA at $3,782 reinforce the medium-term bearish structure.
Even the 200-day EMA at $3,564 has started to flatten, showing that the broader trend is losing strength.
Also, the Parabolic SAR continues to print above price, and ETH has been sliding lower in a slow, controlled grind rather than a sharp breakdown.
Flows Still Show Heavy Distribution
ETH Netflows (Source: Coinglass)
Spot exchange data from Coinglass shows that Ethereum has faced persistent outflows throughout the fall.
While the latest reading showed a modest $30.17 million inflow, the broader pattern remains negative.
Outflows signal that liquidity is leaving exchanges, and the lack of strong inflow surges has prevented a sustained rebound.
Buyers have attempted to defend the $3,000 zone, but order-flow imbalance continues to favor sellers.
Key Support Sits At $2,950 To $2,880The most important short-term battleground is the $2,950 to $2,880 support band.
This level acted as a strong accumulation zone during the summer, but it is now being tested under weaker conditions.
A daily close below $2,880 would expose a slide toward $2,750, followed by $2,620, which aligns with July's consolidation range.
On the upside, ETH needs a clean break above the descending trendline and a daily close above $3,350.
Without that shift, every rally remains a counter-trend bounce rather than a reversal.

Analysts shift 2025 XRP outlook as funds eye liquidity models.
Summary
Institutional funds are now valuing XRP based on liquidity, compliance, and infrastructure maturity, rather than brand recognition or hype cycles.
XRP Tundra implements DAMM V2, introducing features like exponential fee scheduling, NFT-based liquidity positions, and permanent liquidity locks to stabilize early market phases.
The project roadmap includes GlacierChain for XRPL Layer-2, enhanced governance via TUNDRA-X, audited security, and a dual-token system to foster cross-chain and staking innovations.
Cryptocurrency analysts have begun revising their 2025 market outlook, with XRP appearing prominently in several pricing models, according to recent industry reports.
Crypto Volt, a cryptocurrency analysis firm, released research outlining projections for XRP’s (XRP) performance under updated risk frameworks used by mid-sized funds. The analysis differs from predictions in previous market cycles, which focused primarily on structural changes affecting capital allocation.
Institutional trading desks in 2025 are evaluating digital assets based on liquidity depth, regulatory alignment, infrastructure maturity and cash-flow potential rather than market momentum alone, according to the report. This recalibration has placed XRP and its expanding ecosystem, particularly XRP Tundra, into discussions about strategic positioning for the year ahead.
The Crypto Volt analysis stated that funds have adopted more disciplined asset selection criteria to support institutional-scale flows without destabilizing prices. XRP’s liquidity distribution, regulatory clarity and suitability for cross-border financial infrastructure have elevated the token within risk-adjusted ranking systems that previously favored Bitcoin and Ethereum almost exclusively, according to the report.
The analyst noted that institutional buyers are examining functional exposure rather than brand familiarity. XRP’s role in settlement architecture provides a concrete utility narrative, which has led several analysts to place it among cryptocurrencies with potential to outperform during the upcoming cycle, the report stated. Exchange-traded funds are providing compliant pathways for traditional investors, expanding demand beyond speculative buyers.
XRP Tundra’s implementation of Meteora’s DAMM V2 liquidity system for its TUNDRA-S token has drawn analyst attention, according to industry observers. DAMM V2 introduces a framework designed to reduce early volatility, prevent exploitative trading behavior and ensure stable liquidity distribution, according to technical documentation.
The system features an exponential fee scheduler that starts with high fees and gradually decreases them, aimed at discouraging automated trading bots and suppressing early selling pressure. DAMM V2 also supports concentrated liquidity, position NFTs and permanent liquidity options. Position NFTs provide full transferability and precise tracking of liquidity parameters, while the permanent lock option ensures a stable liquidity floor that cannot be withdrawn.
XRP Tundra’s development roadmap includes GlacierChain, an XRPL Layer-2 environment designed to support higher throughput and cross-chain functionality while maintaining settlement guarantees. The roadmap also includes enhanced governance for TUNDRA-X, allowing participants to shape decisions regarding vault parameters, fee distribution models and ecosystem integrations.
Cryo Vault activation, scheduled for the post-launch phase, will introduce long-term staking cycles tied to fee generation and cross-chain liquidity flows, according to project documentation. Additional planned features include expanded Solana-XRPL bridging to improve interoperability for dual-chain token operations.
XRP Tundra’s dual-token system consists of TUNDRA-S, built on Solana, which interacts with DAMM V2’s liquidity mechanisms and will drive yield generation through vaults and cross-chain modules. TUNDRA-X, issued on the XRPL, forms the governance layer responsible for approving upgrades, adjusting ecosystem parameters and managing treasury functions.
The project has completed public audits through multiple security firms and holds KYC certification, according to company statements. Any unsold tokens at the presale deadline will be permanently burned, ensuring fixed supply in accordance with established tokenomics, the project announced.

Democrats Demand Probe Into Trump-Linked WLFI Over Token Sales To Illicit Actors
CoinGape has covered the cryptocurrency industry since 2017,
aiming to provide informative insights to our readers. Our journal analysts bring years of experience in market analysis and blockchain technology to ensure factual accuracy and balanced reporting. By following our Editorial Policy,

all facets of the digital asset space with unwavering commitment to timely, relevant information.
Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Jack Reed have requested that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the U.S. Treasury probe the Trump-linked World Liberty Financial (WLFI) over alleged links to illicit actors. The senators also cited a report that alleged the crypto firm sold its WLFI token to suspicious entities.
Democrats Request DOJ To Investigate Trump-Linked WLFI
According to a CNBC report, the two Democratic Senators sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent asking for an investigation into the crypto company over alleged links to illicit actors in North Korea and Russia. They also raised concerns in the latter that the firm, which has ties to the Trump family, may pose national security risks.
Warren and Reed further argued that WLFI lacks adequate safeguards to prevent bad actors from moving funds or gaining influence over its governance. The Senators alluded to a report from Accountable.US, which alleged that the crypto firm had sold its native token to a “variety of highly suspicious entities with connections to North Korea, Iran, and a known money laundering platform, Tornado Cash.”
The nonprofit corporate watchdog had further claimed that the Trump family crypto venture sold 600,000 of its WLFI tokens to a Lazarus Group-tied crypto trader “Shryder.eth.” The organization noted that the trader’s wallets look to have now been sanctioned by the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Asset Control
(OFAC) for its ties to the North Korean state-sponsored hacking team.
Meanwhile, this request from the Democratic senators marks the latest bid to probe the president’s involvement in crypto, following past allegations of corruption. CoinGape had reported how the Trump family’s crypto fortune exploded by $1 billion, thanks in part to the $550 million from just WLFI governance token sales.
Senators Issue Warning Over Lack Of AML Controls And Trump’s Ties
While noting WLFI’s expansion plans to launch a retail app and a debit card, the senators warned that the reported token sales indicate a lack of robust sanctions and anti-money laundering controls. In line with this, they declared that the crypto firm risks “supercharging illicit finance activity.
Warren and Reed also stated that the Trump family’s close ties to the crypto firm create a financial conflict of interest for the Trump administration officials who report to the president. They claimed that this conflict of interest stems from prioritizing token sales, which will directly enrich the Trump family, while compliance activities may interfere with this wealth creation.
They noted that DT Marks DEFI LLC, an entity they claim has ties to Trump and some of his family members, holds 22.5 billion WLFI tokens and is entitled to 75% of the proceeds from the token sale. As such, the senators said that three-quarters of that money goes to Trump and his family, even for sales to entities linked to North Korea and Russia.
The Crypto Legislation Angle
Warren and Reed also mentioned that the timing of their requests was essential, as Congress is considering crypto regulations that could prevent governance tokens like WLFI from falling under U.S. oversight and exempt token issuers from certain recordkeeping and disclosure requirements.
They declared that they must ensure that crypto interests do not profit at the expense of U.S. national security and avoid handing the keys to financial platforms to illicit actors, who can later exploit them.
Notably, the Senator is currently working on the crypto market structure bill with a markup likely to take place next month. However, there are still concerns over bipartisan support, with Democrats still alluding to the president’s involvement in crypto.
Warren and Reed have asked the DOJ and the U.S. Treasury to outline information on potential enforcement actions against WLFI by December 1.

Dogecoin ETF To Launch In A Week As Shiba Inu Burn Rate Explodes To 1,090%
Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) and Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB) have each dropped about 12% over the past week — but behind the red candles, several fundamental catalysts point to a potential upside reversal.
What Happened: Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas said Grayscale is on track to launch the first-ever Dogecoin ETF around Nov. 24, based on the SEC's 20-day review window.
He cautioned final approval requires an exchange notice, but current regulatory guidance makes the timeline highly favourable.
Separately, Dogecoin Treasury company Bit Origin announced a plan to accumulate $500 million worth of DOGE, saying it aims to blend crypto culture with real-world utility and prepare for mainstream adoption.
Shibburn reported 17.3 million SHIB burned in the last 24 hours, a 1,090% spike, signalling accelerating supply destruction.
Also Read: Bitcoin Briefly Crashes Below $90,000 As Ethereum, XRP, Dogecoin Drop Causes $1B In Liquidations
Why It Matters: Crypto chart analyst Ali Martinez warned that Dogecoin's pullback to $0.15 is structurally weak, unless it quickly reclaims support.
For Shiba Inu, momentum may be shifting. Binance influencer Jack highlighted a trifecta of bullish signals:
Burns are accelerating
Exchange reserves are declining
Buyers are stepping in at every dip.
This combination often precedes a supply squeeze, especially with SHIB still holding its key demand zone and its RSI flashing early strength.
Adding to the momentum, Japan placed SHIB on its regulatory "Green List," elevating it alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum. The designation signals formal recognition, and legitimacy, from a G7 nation, boosting SHIB's global credibility.

Falling revenue and record difficulty could tighten the squeeze on bitcoin miners, though many are more driven by their AI infrastructure initiatives. Nov 18, 2025, 1:46 p.m.
Bitcoin’s hashprice has fallen to its lowest level in five years, according to Luxor, now sitting at $38.2 PH/s. Hashprice, a term introduced by Luxor, measures the expected daily value of one terahash per second of computing power. The metric reflects how much revenue a miner can expect from a specific amount of hashrate. It can be denominated in any currency or asset, although it is typically shown in USD or BTC.
Hashprice depends on four key variables: network difficulty, the price of bitcoin, the block subsidy, and transaction fees. Hashprice rises with bitcoin’s price and fee volume, and falls as mining difficulty increases.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
Bitcoin’s hashrate remains near record levels at more than 1.1 ZH/s on a seven day moving average. Meanwhile, the bitcoin price is at $91,000, down roughly 30% from its October all time high of more than $126,000, and network difficulty remains near all-time highs at 152 trillion (t). Transaction fees remain extremely low, with mempool.space quoting a high priority transaction at 25 cents or 2 sat/vB.
This decline in hashprice is occurring alongside a broader pullback in publicly traded bitcoin mining stocks, even as many in the sector have pivoted business plans away from BTC mining and to AI infrastructure.
The CoinShares mining ETF, WGMI, has fallen 43% from its peak and is trading just below $41.

Bitcoin ETF Investors Face Losses as Market Downturn Continues
Bitcoin ETFs in the U.S. are collectively underwater as BTC falls below $89,600.
Over $254 million exited Bitcoin funds on Monday, led by BlackRock’s major outflows.
Investors in Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States are now collectively underwater for the first time since these products were launched, according to market intelligence company Glassnode. Bitcoin plunged below $89,600 on Tuesday, causing the average entry price for all spot Bitcoin ETFs to move underwater.
Some early adopters who purchased at prices from $40,000 to $70,000 continue to be profitable; however, the average investor finds themselves nursing unrealized losses. Long-term holders are also unlikely to panic sell at this moment, as most of these investors view this as a long-term strategic allocation and not a short-term trade.
Heavy Withdrawals Continue Across Bitcoin and Ethereum Funds
Monday saw a wave of capital leaving cryptocurrency ETF products, with Bitcoin products losing $254.6 million in a single day. BlackRock’s flagship Bitcoin product had the largest outflow at $145.6 million, while some of Fidelity’s Bitcoin offerings had outflows of $12 million. This was the fifth consecutive day of outflows for Bitcoin ETFs, which began on November 12 with outflows of $278.1 million.
Outflows continued to accelerate on November 13, when outflows reached $866.7 million, the second-worst inflow figures in the short 5-month history of Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum ETFs also had negative outflows, generating a combined $182.7 million in net outflows. Of this, outflows in BlackRock’s Ethereum product accounted for $193 million.
Market analysts have stated that the downturn was due to broader macroeconomic conditions, rather than anything unique to cryptocurrency, specifically, tight liquidity and risk-on sentiment. Investors have sought out safer assets. There will be a turnaround in digital assets whenever we see clearer signs of economic easing, softer inflation numbers, and a central bank with easier monetary policy.
Notably, Solana ETFs have gone against their trend altogether, maintaining their flawless inflow record since they came into existence in late October. The Bitwise Solana fund added $7.3 million on Monday, while Grayscale’s product added $0.9 million. Cumulative all Solana ETFs have seen around $390 million in total inflows, and both investors find interest even with a tough market of late.

Top Altcoins Heat Up as $BTC Trends Down – Bitcoin Hyper Could Pump Next
The altcoin market is showing a distinct preference for projects with strong technological fundamentals and clear utility over purely speculative assets.
Recent price predictions suggest a 300% pump for $SHIB if the token reaches two critical levels, which would set it up for an aggressive rally.
Bitcoin Hyper introduces a Layer 2 solution that brings high-speed smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem via a Solana Virtual Machine integration.
The $HYPER presale raised over $27.8M so far with a token price of $0.013295 and staking rewards currently at 41%.
The altcoin market is at a fascinating crossroads. While speculative assets have dominated cycles past, a clear trend toward utility is emerging.
Investors are looking past fleeting hype, demanding projects with sustainable technology and real-world use cases. This shift in sentiment is reshaping the altcoin market outlook for 2025, forcing a re-evaluation of long-term value.
Take top altcoins like Shiba Inu, for instance, which is currently at a crossroads, showing clear-cut signs of consolidation and momentum buildup. Trader’s expectation of a 300% $SHIB pump long-term is no longer unrealistic, provided $SHIB can hold two critical levels.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is currently at the opposite end of the spectrum, after crashing below $90K today. The reasons are multiple, from bulk whale sells to dwindling investor participation and increased fear.
But there’s another problem worth talking about. Bitcoin, the original cryptocurrency, offers unparalleled security and trust but its slow transaction speeds, high fees, and lack of native smart contract capabilities, have hindered its investor appeal. Right now, Bitcoin ranks 30th in terms of TPS.
A new contender, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to solve this trilemma directly. As the newest Bitcoin Layer 2 solution integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), Hyper promises to unlock Bitcoin’s dormant potential.
By creating a high-speed execution layer on top of Bitcoin’s secure settlement, Bitcoin Hyper introduces the programmability and performance needed for modern dApps.
This approach could fundamentally alter the competitive dynamics of the blockchain space, bringing high-performance applications to the industry’s most trusted network.
Bitcoin Hyper Redefines Speed and Programmability
Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) tackles Bitcoin’s core limitations head-on. Its modular architecture uses Bitcoin’s Layer 1 for ultimate security and settlement while a real-time SVM-based Layer 2 handles transaction execution. This allows for extremely low-latency processing and high-speed, low-cost transactions.
The project’s decentralized Canonical Bridge facilitates seamless and secure cross-minting of $BTC into its L2 environment.
By integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, Bitcoin Hyper brings fast, scalable smart contracts to the Bitcoin ecosystem. This move enables developers to build sophisticated DeFi applications, NFT platforms, and gaming dApps using familiar tools like the Rust programming language.
This innovative approach is capturing significant attention. The ongoing presale for its native token, $HYPER, has already raised an impressive $27.8M+ at the time of writing, with $HYPER sitting at $0.013295. This strong demand signals major investor confidence in the project’s vision.
If this type of hype continues, $HYPER could explode post release. Our price prediction for $HYPER, based on the project’s utility and community support, puts the token at $0.08625 by the end of 2026. In terms of ROI, we’re talking about potential profits of 548%.
This is enough of an incentive for any crypto hunter looking for portfolio diversification. If this sounds like you, make sure you read our guide on how to buy $HYPER today.
Check $HYPER’s live presale today.
A New Ecosystem for DeFi, Gaming, and Payments
The implications of bringing high-performance smart contracts to Bitcoin are massive. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) unlocks a wide range of use cases previously impossible on the network, creating a new ecosystem for developers and users alike.
Developers can build swaps, lending platforms, and staking protocols that leverage Bitcoin’s liquidity with the speed of an SVM chain. For everyday traders, use cases range from high-speed payments in wrapped $BTC with minimal fees to comprehensive DeFi protocols.
With presale tokens currently priced at $0.013295, early participants are getting in at the ground floor – an opportunity which won’t last long anymore. The project has a projected release window between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026 so, if you want to invest, invest today.
Secure your $HYPER today.
This isn’t financial advice. DYOR and manage risks wisely before investing. Crypto is a high-risk market and presales have no success guarantee.

Top 3 reasons Pi Network Coin price may be ripe for a breakout
Pi Network price remained in a tight range this week, even as Bitcoin and other altcoins plunged.
Summary
Pi Network price remains in a deep consolidation this week.
Bollinger Bands and the Wyckoff Theory suggest a potential rebound.
The bullish outlook is supported by the ongoing whale accumulation.
Pi Coin (PI) token was trading at $0.2250 today, inside a range it has remained in the past few weeks. This article explores the top three reasons why the token is ripe for a bullish breakout.
Pi Network price technicals points to a rally
The daily timeframe chart shows that the Pi coin price has formed a small double-bottom pattern at $0.1948 and a neckline at the October high of $0.2930. A double-bottom is one of the most common bullish reversal patterns in technical analysis.
Additionally, the spread of the three lines of the Bollinger Bands indicator has narrowed this month. That is a sign that it has limited volatility and that it has a high chance of having a short-squeeze.
Most importantly, the ongoing consolidation is a sign that the coin is in the accumulation phase of the Wyckoff Theory. This pattern normally leads to a strong bullish breakout as it moves to the markup phase. A good example of this is the recent Zcash price surge.

Pi Coin may benefit from the ongoing whale accumulation
The other potential catalyst for the Pi Coin price is the ongoing buying spree by its biggest whale. Data shows that the whale bought over 900k tokens on Monday as the crypto market crash intensified. This whale now holds tokens worth over $85 million.
The ongoing whale buying is crucial as it signals that this investor is highly bullish on the coin since it has already plunged by over 90% from its highest level this year. Notably, since his identity is not known, there is a slim chance that he is an insider who has key information on its future.
Pi ecosystem growth
Stanford PhD graduates Nicolas Kokkalis and Chengdiao Fan created the Pi Network on Pi Day in 2019.
Vincent McPhillip also made contributions, but later departed the project. Since then, there have been signs that Pi Network is evolving from a mere ghost chain into one with a clear utility.
One sign of this is the recent investment in OpenMind, a company at the intersection of robotics and artificial intelligence. The investment aims to connect Pi Network’s global decentralized node ecosystem with OpenMind’s robotics technology, enabling a shared computational and economic framework for both humans and machines.
According to OpenMind CTO Boyuan Chen, “Our mission has always been to create open infrastructure for intelligence that exists in the real world, not just in the cloud. Working with Pi Network helps us extend that idea across both robotics and decentralized computing.”
As part of the investment, the two teams conducted a trial on how Pi Network’s node operators can contribute their resources to third parties and earn returns. If successful, the investment will give Pi Network coin more utility.
Additionally, the team recently announced major improvements, including the DEX and AMM testnet. Once completed, participants will be able to trade within the Pi Network ecosystem.
There are other potential catalysts for the Pi Network price, including major exchange listings, a token burn announcement, or a major partnership.

Quick Take
Fidelity launched the Fidelity SOL Fund, with the ticker symbol FSOL, on Tuesday.
Fidelity is now the third firm to debut its SOL ETF.
Fidelity, one of the world's biggest asset managers, has joined others in launching a Solana exchange-traded fund, which includes a staking feature.
Fidelity debuted the Fidelity SOL Fund, with the ticker symbol FSOL on Tuesday, a spokesperson said. This comes after the asset manager filed a Form 8-A on Monday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, essentially preparing it for the fund to launch.
"The addition of staking in our Solana fund is a monumental win for the industry—and investors—as it’s a critical part of the ecosystem to help secure the network, and a yield generating opportunity for investors," said Matt Horne, head of digital asset Strategists at Fidelity Investments, in a statement.
Fidelity is now the third firm to debut its SOL ETF, and it is the firm's first to include a staking feature. Bitwise first launched its SOL ETF in late October, with Grayscale following close behind. Grayscale's fund also has a staking component. Canary Capital is also expected to launch its Solana ETF (SOLC) on Tuesday.
"Easily the biggest asset manager in this category with BlackRock sitting out," Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted on X. "Game on."
A Fidelity spokesperson stated that the firm would waive investment and staking fees until May 18, 2026. Thereafter, the fund will have an expense ratio of 25 bps and a staking fee of 15%.
Fidelity has previously launched a bitcoin ETF and an Ethereum ETF. On Monday, VanEck introduced its Solana ETF and is now trading on Nasdaq.
"Welcome to the future. Still surprised BlackRock sitting this one out," said NovaDius Wealth Management CEO Nate Geraci. BlackRock's iShares unit currently manages the largest BTC and ETH ETFs by AUM.

Dogecoin Breakdown Or Bottom? On-Chain Risk Hits Extreme Value Zone
Dogecoin is sitting at an inflection point where weakening market structure meets unusually compressed on-chain risk, according to new charts shared by analyst Cryptollica (@Cryptollica). The visuals juxtapose a multi-year DOGE/USDT price channel with Alphafractal’s Reserve Risk framework, raising the question of whether the move is a true breakdown or the formation of a long-term bottom.
Dogecoin On-Chain Risk Hits Extreme Value Zone
In an X post, Cryptollica explains that the Dogecoin model “combines Reserve Risk with VOCDD/MVOCDD-style activity measures to assess long-term holder conviction versus market pricing.” The key metric is Reserve Risk itself, defined as: “Reserve Risk = Price / HODL Bank.”
“HODL Bank” represents the cumulative opportunity cost long-term holders accepted by not selling in earlier rallies. When the current price is low relative to that bank of conviction, Reserve Risk prints low values; when price is high versus that bank, it spikes.
Dogecoin Reserve Risk Indicator | Source: @Cryptollica
Crucially, Cryptollica notes that “low readings historically align with attractive risk/reward (value zones), while high readings mark overheated conditions.” On the Alphafractal chart, this is rendered as a green lower band (value) and a red upper band (overheated).
Dogecoin’s past blow-off phases, including the 2021 surge toward roughly $0.76, coincided with Reserve Risk moving into the red zone. By contrast, long consolidation periods following major unwinds saw the indicator fall back into the green band.
The latest data point, dated 17 November 2025, shows Reserve Risk again compressed in that lower green area, indicating that, relative to the accumulated HODL Bank, spot prices are historically cheap by this model’s standards. The chart does not predict direction, but it places current conditions firmly in what the framework defines as an “extreme value” environment.
DOGE Faces Crash Towards $0.07
The second chart, a three-day DOGE/USDT view from Binance, focuses on price structure. Dogecoin trades within a broad ascending channel that has contained action since 2021. The lower boundary, labeled “Bottom Line,” currently tracks just above the $0.07 area; the upper “TopLine” extends toward about $1.30, with a central “Midline” near the $0.27 region acting repeatedly as resistance.
Dogecoin price analysis, 3-day chart | Source: @Cryptollica
A two-year moving average arcs through the middle of this channel. DOGE lost this average in the bear phase, reclaimed it into 2024–2025 and then rallied to a local high around $0.48, before being rejected at the Midline. A cluster of red arrows at roughly $0.27 marks multiple failed attempts to break higher.
Since then, price has rolled over, slipped back below the two-year MA and is now descending inside the channel. The latest three-day candle shows DOGE trading around $0.15, with an intraperiod spike lower that was partially bought back. DOGE is now trading at a last line of defence: the mid-line of the lower part of the channel around $0.15. If this support breaks, a steep drop towards the “Bottom Line” just above $0.07 could loom.
Together, both charts frame Dogecoin’s position sharply. Structurally, DOGE is weakening below its long-term moving average and mid-channel resistance, leaving the lower boundary of the channel as the next major geometric reference. On-chain, however, the Reserve Risk and activity composite indicates that long-term holders’ cumulative conviction now stands against one of the lowest relative price levels seen since the previous cycle.
At press time, DOGE traded at $0.157.

(“Navios Partners”) (NYSE: NMM), an international owner and operator of dry cargo and tanker vessels, today reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine month period ended September 30, 2025.
Angeliki Frangou, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of Navios Partners stated, “I am pleased with our results, as we reported for the third quarter and the first nine months of 2025, respectively, EBITDA of $193.9 million and $519.8 million and net income of $56.3 million and $168.0 million. Earnings per common unit were $1.90 for the quarter and $5.62 for the nine-month period.”
Angeliki Frangou continued, “For the past five years, we have been addressing constant change in our operating environment.

We believe that our diversified platform coupled with a strong risk management culture will continue proving itself in challenging environments.”
Senior unsecured bonds
In October 2025, Navios Partners successfully placed $300.0 million of senior unsecured bonds in the Nordic bond market.

The cash distribution was paid on November 14, 2025 to unitholders of record as of November 10, 2025. The declaration and payment of any further dividends remain subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors and will depend on, among other things, Navios Partners’ cash requirements as measured by market opportunities and restrictions under its credit agreements and other debt obligations and such other factors as the Board of Directors may deem advisable.

Acquisition of vessels $460.4 million acquisition of four 8,850 TEU newbuilding methanol-ready and scrubber-fitted containerships In September 2025, Navios Partners agreed to acquire four 8,850 TEU newbuilding methanol-ready and scrubber-fitted containerships, from an unrelated third party, for an aggregate purchase price of $460.4 million.

(7) Where necessary, comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to changes in presentation in the current periods. Navios Partners has changed its classification of “Direct vessel expenses” to reallocate these amounts between “Vessel operating expenses (including management fees)” and “Depreciation and amortization” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management has assessed the impact of this change as immaterial to the financial statements. For the three month period ended September 30, 2024, this resulted in the reclassification of $2.9 million and $15.2 million of vessel operating expenses and amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs, respectively, under the captions “Vessel operating expenses (including management fees)” and “Depreciation and amortization” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The aggregate amount of $18.1 million was previously presented under the caption “Direct vessel expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three month period ended September 30, 2024. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2024, this resulted in the reclassification of $9.2 million and $45.4 million of vessel operating expenses and amortization of deferred drydock and special survey costs, respectively, under the captions “Vessel operating expenses (including management fees)” and “Depreciation and amortization” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The aggregate amount of $54.6 million was previously presented under the caption “Direct vessel expenses” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine month period ended September 30, 2024. Three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Time charter and voyage revenues for the three month period ended September 30, 2025 increased by $6.1 million, or 1.8%, to $346.9 million, as compared to $340.8 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the Time Charter Equivalent (“TCE”) rate. For the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $6.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively, relating to the straight line effect of the charters with de-escalating rates. The TCE rate increased by 2.4% to $24,167 per day, as compared to $23,591 per day for the same period in 2024. The available days of the fleet slightly decreased by 0.8% to 13,443 days for the three month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 13,552 days for the same period in 2024.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was affected by the item described in the table above. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.4 million to $194.0 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $195.4 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $4.5 million decrease in other income, net, mainly due to the decrease in foreign exchange gains; (ii) $3.2 million increase in vessel operating expenses due to a 3.4% increase in the opex days and a 0.1% increase in the opex daily rate to $6,798 also as a result of the change in the composition of our fleet; and (iii) $2.0 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a: (i) $6.1 million increase in time charter and voyage revenues; and (ii) $2.2 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to the decrease in bunker expenses arising from the decreased days of freight voyages in the third quarter of 2025.
Net Income for the three month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income decreased by $12.8 million to $83.7 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $96.5 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to : (i) an $8.8 million increase in depreciation and amortization; (ii) a $2.1 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; (iii) a $1.4 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; (iv) a $0.3 million decrease in amortization of unfavorable lease terms; and (v) a $0.2 million decrease in interest income.
Nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
Time charter and voyage revenues for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025 decreased by $22.9 million, or 2.3%, to $978.6 million, as compared to $1,001.5 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in revenue was mainly attributable to the decrease in the available days of our fleet and the revenue from freight voyages. For the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, time charter and voyage revenues were positively affected by $10.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, relating to the straight line effect of the charters with de-escalating rates. The TCE rate was marginally lower at $22,825 per day, compared with $22,830 per day in the same period in 2024. The available days of the fleet slightly decreased by 0.7% to 40,287 days for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to 40,590 days for the same period in 2024.
EBITDA of Navios Partners for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was affected by the item described in the table above. Excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $29.2 million to $520.2 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $549.4 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in Adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to a: (i) $22.9 million decrease in time charter and voyage revenues; (ii) $19.1 million increase in vessel operating expenses due to a 4.6% increase in the opex days and a 2.4% increase in the opex daily rate to $6,961 also as a result of the change in the composition of our fleet; (iii) $6.1 million increase in general and administrative expenses in accordance with our administrative services agreement; and (iv) $4.1 million increase in other expense, net. The above decrease was partially mitigated by a $23.0 million decrease in time charter and voyage expenses, mainly due to the decrease in bunker expenses arising from the decreased days of freight voyages in the nine month period ended September 30, 2025.
Net Income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was affected by the items described in the table above. Excluding these items, Adjusted Net Income decreased by $66.5 million to $195.7 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, as compared to $262.2 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease in Adjusted Net Income was primarily due to a: (i) $29.2 million decrease in Adjusted EBITDA; (ii) $26.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization; (iii) $9.6 million increase in interest expense and finance cost, net; (iv) $0.8 million decrease in amortization of unfavorable lease terms; and (v) $0.7 million decrease in interest income.

The shipping industry uses available days to measure the number of days in a relevant period during which a vessel is capable of generating revenues. (2) Operating days are the number of available days in the relevant period less the aggregate number of days that the vessels were off-hire due to any reason, including unforeseen circumstances. The shipping industry uses operating days to measure the aggregate number of days in a relevant period during which vessels actually generate revenues. (3) Fleet utilization is the percentage of time that Navios Partners’ vessels were available for generating revenue, and is determined by dividing the number of operating days during a relevant period by the number of available days during that period. The shipping industry uses fleet utilization to measure efficiency in finding employment for vessels and minimizing the amount of days that its vessels were off-hire for reasons other than scheduled repairs, drydockings or special surveys. (4) Opex days for the fleet represent total calendar days the vessels were in Navios Partners’ possession for the relevant period after subtracting total calendar days of Navios Partners’ charter-in vessels and bareboat-out vessels. (5) TCE rate: TCE rate per day is defined as voyage, time charter revenues and charter-out revenues under bareboat contracts (grossed up by the applicable vessel operating expenses for the respective periods) less voyage expenses during a period divided by the number of available days during the period. The TCE rate per day is a customary shipping industry performance measure used primarily to present the actual daily earnings generated by vessels on various types of charter contracts for the number of available days of the fleet. (6) Opex rate: Opex rate per day is defined as vessel operating expenses (including management fees) divided by the number of opex days during the period. Conference Call Details:

EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Earnings per Common Unit, basic and diluted are “non-U.S. GAAP financial measures” and should not be used in isolation or considered substitutes for net income/ (loss), cash flow from operating activities and other operations or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
EBITDA represents net income before interest and finance costs, depreciation and amortization and income taxes. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA excluding certain items, as described under “Earnings Highlights”. Navios Partners uses Adjusted EBITDA as a liquidity measure and reconciles EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net cash provided by operating activities, the most comparable U.S. GAAP liquidity measure. EBITDA in this document is calculated as follows: net cash provided by operating activities adding back, when applicable and as the case may be, the effect of: (i) net increase in operating assets; (ii) net (increase)/ decrease in operating liabilities; (iii) net interest cost; (iv) amortization and write-off of deferred finance costs; (v) amortization of operating lease assets/ liabilities; (vi) other non-cash adjustments; and (vii) (loss)/ gain on sale of vessels, net. Navios Partners believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are each the basis upon which liquidity can be assessed and present useful information to investors regarding Navios Partners’ ability to service and/or incur indebtedness, pay capital expenditures, meet working capital requirements and make cash distributions. Navios Partners also believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are used: (i) by potential lenders to evaluate potential transactions; (ii) to evaluate and price potential acquisition candidates; and (iii) by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in our industry.
Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the analysis of Navios Partners’ results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are: (i) EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; and (ii) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized may have to be replaced in the future. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such capital expenditures. Because of these limitations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a principal indicator of Navios Partners’ performance. Furthermore, our calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to that reported by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation.
We present Adjusted Net Income by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Our presentation of Adjusted Net Income adjusts net income for the items described above under “Earnings Highlights”. The definition of Adjusted Net Income used here may not be comparable to that used by other companies due to differences in methods of calculation. Adjusted Earnings per Common Unit is defined as Adjusted Net Income divided by the weighted average number of common units outstanding for each of the periods presented, basic and diluted.

Vistagen Therapeutics: Intranasal Pherines And A Make-Or-Break 2026
Vistagen Therapeutics' intranasal pherine drugs target nose-to-brain circuits. This taps into neuropsychiatric, women's health, and oncology indications. Their lead asset is Fasedienol, which is in Phase 3 for SAD. Its PALISADE-3 data may enable a possible NDA submission during 2026. The rest of VTGN's pipeline includes Itruvone, PH80, and PH284. However, I believe VTGN's tight runway will force them to prioritize Fasedienol's R&D.
