NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Invivyd, Inc. (Invivyd) (Nasdaq: IVVD) today announced the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 44,000,000 shares of its common stock at an offering price of $2.50 per share and, to certain investors, in lieu of common stock, pre-funded warrants to purchase 6,000,000 shares of its common stock at a price of $2.4999 per pre-funded warrant. The gross proceeds from this offering are expected to be approximately $125.0 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and offering expenses payable by Invivyd.

From S&P 500 To MGC To TOPT: Where The Lean Strategy Breaks
SummaryThe iShares Top 20 U.S. Stocks ETF offers extreme concentration in mega caps, diverging sharply from both MGC and SPY sector allocations.TOPT's high concentration amplifies both potential returns and risks, making it more sensitive to price changes and less diversified than MGC or SPY.While TOPT has recently outperformed due to mega-cap strength, its structure is more suitable for tactical, bullish stances on top holdings rather than core portfolios.I rate TOPT as a Hold for passive investors, favoring MGC as a smarter, lower-risk alternative for core S&P 500-like exposure. skynesher/E+ via Getty Images
When I discussed the Vanguard Mega Cap Index Fund ETF Shares (MGC), I found the move from the broader S&P 500 ETFs to MGC a decent addition to core portfolios. A CAGR of 0.5% outperformance was

Solana Faces Renewed Selling as Whales Short Aggressively and Key Support Zone Comes Under Pressure
Solana is once again under heavy pressure as major holders intensify selling and build short positions, placing the token's critical demand zone in the spotlight. After weeks of volatile price action, the market has shifted toward bearish positioning, signaling a shift in sentiment among large players that previously supported Solana during market rebounds.

Ethereum Approaches Historical Accumulation Level – Just 8% Away From LTH Cost Basis
Ethereum is trading around key demand levels as fear and uncertainty grip the broader crypto market. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has struggled to regain bullish momentum, currently hovering near $3,150 after weeks of consistent selling pressure. However, new on-chain data from CryptoQuant reveals that Ethereum might be nearing a crucial accumulation zone — one historically associated with long-term holder activity and market bottoms.
According to the report, the ETH price is now just 8% away from touching the Accumulation Addresses Realized Price level at $2,895. This metric represents the average cost basis of long-term investors who have been steadily stacking ETH during previous market cycles. A move toward this level could signal the final stages of the ongoing correction, potentially attracting renewed interest from strategic buyers looking for value entries.
Historically, similar declines toward the realized price of accumulation addresses have acted as strong support zones, leading to price stabilization and subsequent recoveries. While short-term sentiment remains fearful, the proximity to this key level suggests that Ethereum could soon reach a point where long-term investors begin accumulating once again — setting the stage for a potential market rebound.
Long-Term Holders Stay Unshaken
According to CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci, the $2,895 level represents the average cost basis of long-term Ethereum accumulators — investors who have been “patiently stacking” through multiple market cycles. This group tends to buy during periods of maximum fear, forming a stable foundation for future rallies.
Ethereum Balance on Accumulation Addresses | Source: CryptoQuant
Historically, Ethereum has only dipped below this key level once, during the April 2025 Trump tax-tariff crisis, when global markets faced extreme uncertainty. The Global Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (GEPUCURRENT) surged to 629 points, surpassing even the COVID-19 pandemic peak by 50%. Despite the widespread panic, long-term holders continued to accumulate aggressively rather than sell.
In fact, 2025 saw around 17 million ETH flow into accumulation addresses, raising the total balance held by these wallets from 10 million to over 27 million ETH. This trend highlights the conviction of Ethereum’s strongest investors, who have repeatedly viewed fear-driven sell-offs as opportunities.
If Ethereum were to decline another 8%, it would reach this cost basis once again. Historically, this level has acted as one of the strongest long-term accumulation zones, signaling value and resilience. As Kesmeci notes, even if ETH briefly dips below $2,900, it’s unlikely to remain there for long.
Ethereum Holds Above Key Support as Market Tests Long-Term Confidence
Ethereum’s weekly chart shows that the asset is holding above a key structural support zone near $3,000, after several weeks of downside pressure. The price briefly dipped below this level last week but recovered quickly, forming a potential short-term base around the 200-week moving average — a historically significant line that has supported major bottoms in past cycles.
ETH testing key demand level | Source: ETHUSDT chart on TradingView
Currently trading around $3,190, ETH is attempting to maintain stability within this critical range. The 50-week moving average remains slightly above at $3,500, serving as immediate resistance. A break above that level would be an early signal of renewed bullish momentum, while losing $3,000 could trigger a deeper correction toward $2,800–$2,900, which aligns closely with the Accumulation Realized Price highlighted by CryptoQuant analysts.
The recent decline mirrors past phases of market reset, such as the April 2025 correction, where Ethereum similarly tested long-term supports before rebounding strongly. The confluence of technical and on-chain data suggests that current levels are being closely watched by long-term holders and institutional accumulators.

Bitcoin Bear Market: Confirmed Or False Alarm? Experts Sound Off
Bitcoin's drop back into the mid-$90,000s has reignited the debate: is this the start of a true bear market, or a sharp reset inside an ongoing uptrend? Analysts are converging on the same battleground levels but differ on what they imply.

Bitcoin tumbles, crypto market faces sharp decline as fear grows
Bitcoin tumbled below $91,500 on Monday, deepening a selloff that has wiped out all its year-to-date gains, while the total crypto market capitalization free falls at least 30% since October 6.
Summary
Traders are increasingly betting on continued declines in Bitcoin, with a surge in demand for downside protection, particularly around key levels like $90,000, $85,000, and $80,000.
A sentiment index shows “extreme fear” in the market, while corporate crypto treasuries face pressure to sell assets to protect balance sheets. El Salvado, meanwhile, added 1,091 Bitcoin, worth over $100 million, during the market dip.
Economic factors, including Nvidia’s earnings report and potential Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, are dampening risk appetite.
In the options market, traders are increasingly betting on further declines, convinced the downturn is far from over as wealthy buyers retreat, Bloomberg reported.
The shift in market sentiment has been rapid and decisive. Demand for downside protection — particularly at levels like $90,000, $85,000, and $80,000 — has surged.
Options set to expire later this month are seeing especially high volumes, according to data from Coinbase-owned Deribit. After riding Bitcoin’s highs just weeks ago, traders have now purchased more than $740 million in contracts betting on continued drops, far outpacing interest in bullish bets.
Social Media Response
Most commentators on X (formerly Twitter) seemed to agree that the week was off to a messy start.
The pain has been most acute for digital-asset treasuries — firms that accumulated large amounts of crypto earlier this year to make crypto-backed bets in the stock market.
While Michael Saylor’s Strategy Inc. recently bought an additional $835 million in Bitcoin, some of his corporate peers are under increasing pressure to liquidate assets to safeguard their balance sheets.
This selling has created a psychological barrier: a market filled with investors too deep in the red to buy more, yet hesitant to cut their losses.
A sentiment index from CoinMarketCap, which tracks price momentum, volatility, and derivatives, shows crypto participants are currently in a state of “extreme fear.”
The fear index fell to 9, its lowest reading since July 2022.
El Salvador, meanwhile, added 1,091 Bitcoin, valued at over $100 million, to its growing crypto reserves as part of its ongoing strategy to accumulate the asset during market dips. Since making Bitcoin legal tender in 2021, the country has consistently purchased Bitcoin in downturns, aiming to build a long-term digital asset treasury.
With this latest acquisition, El Salvador now holds a total of 7,474 BTC, worth approximately $688 million, further solidifying its position as one of the largest Bitcoin holders among nations.

Broader Economic Factors
Traders are looking to Wednesday’s earnings report from Nvidia Corp., a key indicator for tech and speculative assets, as well as shifting expectations for a potential interest-rate cut from the Federal Reserve in December.
The S&P 500 fell over 1%, dampening the mood for risk assets across the board. Ethereum’s token, Ether, has been particularly vulnerable, dropping to $2,975 and seeing a 24% decline since early October.
The broader market has been struggling since a sharp liquidation wave in early October wiped out around $19 billion in digital assets. Open interest in crypto futures has declined, especially in smaller tokens like Solana, where positioning has halved, according to Coinglass data.

XRP ‘structurally fragile' as 41.5% of supply at a loss
XRP supply in profit is at its lowest levels in 12 months, and one analyst has warned of further downside if investors decide to cut their losses. Could XRP ETFs bring the bulls back?
798
XRP could be headed for further downside if it fails to secure a meaningful recovery soon, with 41.5% of XRP holders underwater at current prices, according to analysts.
In an X post on Monday, crypto analytics firm Glassnode stated that the “XRP supply in profit” has reached its lowest levels since November 2024, when the price was approximately $0.53.
“Today, despite trading ~4× higher ($2.15), 41.5% of supply (~26.5B XRP) sits in loss — a clear sign of a top-heavy and structurally fragile market dominated by late buyers,” said Glassnode.
Source: GlassnodeIG Australia market analyst Tony Sycamore told Cointelegraph the recent price drop has likely come as a surprise to many XRP investors, and the top-heavy structure means some may be looking to cut their losses if the downward trend continues.
“The date suggests that many XRP holders likely bought when XRP was above $3.00 ( Jan, July, August, September, and early October), leaving their entry point well above the current ~$2.16 level,” Sycamore said.
“The 40%+ sell-off from July $3.66 high has blindsided both long-term hodlers expecting perpetual upside and newer entrants who bought near the highs due to FOMO and viewed dips as a buying opportunity,” he said.
Sycamore said this widespread unrealized loss is now weighing on sentiment and raises the risk of further downside, as stop-losses and forced sales could increase selling pressure.
“Recovery will require a decisive rebound back above $2.70,” he said.
However, one factor that holders are hoping will help return bullish momentum to XRP is the wave of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that are expected to hit the market this week.
Following the launch of the first spot-XRP ETF by Canary Capital on Thursday, which marked the most successful first-day performance for US ETFs in 2025, there are four more ETFs from Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, 21Shares and CoinShares just days away from launch.
However, the price has yet to show a resurgence. XRP is currently $2.14 at the time of writing, down over 40% since reaching its all-time high of $3.65 on July 18.
The flood of crypto ETFs has begun, with VanEck’s Solana ETF launching on Monday, and many more ETFs expected to go live over the next week.

VanEck has launched the US’s third exchange-traded fund (ETF) featuring Solana staking, as more altcoin-tied funds are set to enter the market soon.
The VanEck Solana ETF (VSOL) launched on Monday, joining similar funds from Bitwise and Grayscale that debuted late in October and have jointly seen over $380 million in inflows.
Like Bitwise and Grayscale’s ETFs, VSOL offers staking yields, where Solana (SOL) is locked up on the blockchain to earn rewards. It has also waived its 0.3% fee until Feb. 17 or until it reaches $1 billion in assets in a bid to compete.
Asset managers have been flooding the market with crypto ETFs after the Securities and Exchange Commission changed its listing standards in September, allowing for faster approvals that don’t require an assessment of each fund.
Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said on Monday that the Fidelity Solana ETF (FSOL) is set to launch on Tuesday, competing with three existing similar funds that charge a 0.25% fee.
“Easily the biggest asset manager in this category with BlackRock sitting out,” he added.
Dogecoin ETF could launch as soon as MondayBalchunas said he expects a Dogecoin (DOGE) ETF from Grayscale to launch on Nov. 24, based on an amended regulatory filing earlier this month kicking off a 20-day period where it can launch if the SEC doesn’t respond.
The Grayscale Dogecoin Trust (DOGE) is a conversion from its existing fund and would trade on the New York Stock Exchange, which must still file to list the ETF.
“We’ll see, won’t be 100% till exchange notice, but based on SEC guidance, it looks good,” Balchunas added.
Source: Eric BalchunasIf Grayscale’s fund launches next week, it’ll be the first Dogecoin ETF in the US that will be able to directly hold the memecoin.
Asset issuers REX Shares and Osprey Funds jointly launched a DOGE ETF in mid-September, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which limits its investment to a wholly owned offshore subsidiary that holds the cryptocurrency.
Bitwise could also see its spot Dogecoin ETF launch late next week, after a change in its regulatory filing for the product on Nov. 6 triggered a 20-day launch timer, unless the SEC intervenes.

ETF Outflows and Retail Absence Signal Market ShiftUS Bitcoin spot ETFs have experienced persistent capital flight, with holdings declining from 441,000 BTC on October 10 to about 271,000 BTC by mid-November. This marks a sharp reversal from institutional support earlier this year.
According to Farside Investors data, Bitcoin ETFs have now logged four consecutive days of outflows, extending the defensive tone that has dominated the month. Earlier in the period, redemptions peaked at well over $800 million in a single day, highlighting how sharply sentiment had soured. The latest figure shows a much smaller outflow of around $60 million, but still signals that buyers remain cautious and momentum has yet to turn.
Spot average order size. Source: CryptoQuantSpot average order size metrics show that retail traders are not returning, even as Bitcoin has dropped almost 27% from its October 6 all-time high of $126,272.76. Exchange data from Binance, Coinbase, Kraken, and OKX indicates larger order sizes, highlighting whale activity rather than small-scale retail buyers.
The Fear and Greed Index plummeted to 11, underscoring extreme market fear. Historically, such levels correlate with market bottoms, but retail investors remain cautious and reluctant to engage. In the morning hours in Asia, Bitcoin traded at somewhere between $91,000 and $92,000, down more than 3% in 24 hours and 13-14% for the week. Ethereum briefly slipped below $3,000, and Solana was at around $130, declining over 5% in 24 hours and 21% over the week.
Whale Accumulation amid Market WeaknessAs retail investors sit on the sidelines, large players continue to accumulate aggressively. A whale purchased 10,275 ETH at $3,032 for $31.16 million USDT within 24 hours before November 17, based on on-chain monitoring by OnchainLens. Between November 12 and November 17, this address acquired a total of 13,612 ETH for $41.89 million USDT, at an average price of $3,077.

Permanent holder demand rose from 159,000 BTC to 345,000 BTC, marking the biggest absorption in several cycles. This substantial accumulation occurred even as the price fell, highlighting a stark divergence between long-term and short-term market behaviors.
This divergence between whale accumulation and retail caution highlights a shift in market dynamics. However, CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju notes that the current dip involves long-term holders rotating coins among themselves rather than new money entering the market. This suggests the drawdown does not mark the start of a new bear market, though current conditions may not present the classic buy-the-dip moment sought by retail.

Major financial institutions, including JPMorgan, now accept Bitcoin as collateral for loans despite its price weakness. This evolving infrastructure offers more support compared to previous bearish cycles. Deeper liquidity is available, helping to steady the market.
Technical signals remain bearish for now. Bitcoin has dropped more than 20% from its record high; recently, its 50-day moving average fell below its 200-day moving average—a “death cross.”
Macroeconomic factors add more pressure. The Federal Reserve delayed interest rate cuts, and global central banks maintain tightening. Falling Treasury liquidity creates headwinds for risk assets. Still, analysts see longer-term macro trends—such as high sovereign debt and ongoing geopolitical tensions—as supportive for Bitcoin in the future.
Mining firms are adjusting accordingly. Frank Holmes, executive chairman of HIVE Digital Technologies, emphasized that his company will continue mining and holding Bitcoin, unlike competitors who are pivoting to high-performance computing. He contends that building Tier 3 data centers for GPU work is both costly and complex, so his mine-and-hold strategy will continue despite volatility.

XRP-Linked Income ETF Set to Debut on Wall Street Today
Amplify ETFs has officially announced that its new XRP-linked premium income fund, trading under the ticker XRPM, will launch on November 18, 2025. The ETF will be listed on the Cboe BZX Exchange and will open through a New Issue Auction at 9:30 a.m. ET, giving traditional investors a regulated doorway into XRP-related returns without holding the asset directly.
XRPM will list on the Cboe BZX Exchange under the CUSIP 032108375 with a reported net asset size of $750,000 and 30,000 shares outstanding at launch. The total expense ratio is set at 0.75 percent. Cboe confirmed that the ETF meets all requirements under the Exchange Act of 1934 and will be quoted on SIAC Tape B for full market visibility.
Why XRPM Stands OutAccording to Amplify, the XRPM ETF aims to combine XRP price appreciation potential with a high-income options strategy. The fund targets a 36 percent annualized option premium income while still maintaining exposure to 40 to 70 percent of XRP’s upside performance. Instead of directly purchasing XRP, the ETF will gain exposure through XRP-based exchange-traded products, futures, and covered call options to generate consistent monthly payout opportunities.
Weekly Options and Monthly IncomeThe strategy behind XRPM revolves around weekly covered call writing, which allows four times more premium-collection opportunities compared to traditional monthly options strategies. Amplify describes this as a way to “harvest volatility,” meaning that short-term price movements in XRP can be converted into recurring income. The fund aims to distribute income monthly, positioning it as an appealing product for yield-focused investors seeking crypto-linked payouts.
Institutional SignificanceThe approval and launch of XRPM arrives at a time when demand for regulated, yield-enhanced crypto exposure is increasing. By offering a structured, compliance-ready ETF tied to XRP performance, XRPM acts as a new bridge between institutional finance and digital assets. Its debut highlights the growing trend of turning crypto volatility into a mainstream investment income opportunity.

Fidelity is launching the FSOL ETF with a 0.25% management fee.Intense competition in the Solana ETF space.Industry analysts predict significant interest in FSOL.
Fidelity Investments is set to launch its Solana ETF, FSOL, on November 18, 2025, marking an escalation in the competitive landscape for Solana-based ETFs.
The launch signals intensified institutional interest in Solana, potentially influencing market dynamics and drawing significant capital inflows amid competitive pressures from existing players like Bitwise and Grayscale.
Fidelity’s Market Entry Sparks Solana ETF Rivalry
Fidelity Investments is launching the FSOL ETF on November 18, 2025, aiming to capture investor interest in Solana. With a low management fee of 0.25%, the firm seeks to position itself attractively in the burgeoning Solana ETF landscape. Fidelity’s entry underscores the intensified competitive environment, following launches by other major firms like Bitwise with their $BSOL and the recent debut of $VSOL.
Institutional competition is amplifying as multiple asset managers enter the Solana ETF space, although major player BlackRock remains uninvolved. Grayscale and VanEck are among those expanding into this sector, contributing to the heightened sense of rivalry. The immediate implications involve strategic fee positioning and staking opportunities, which are likely to impact investor decisions.
Industry analysts predict significant market interest in FSOL, highlighted by Eric Balchunas of Bloomberg via an X post. His statement suggests a pivotal moment for Solana investment products.
Market reactions have been largely optimistic, with social media reflecting positive sentiment and robust engagement from both retail traders and institutional entities.
Solana’s Price and Market Dynamics Ahead of ETF Launch
Did you know? The launch of Bitcoin ETFs led to a surge in BTC’s price during 2021-2024, demonstrating impactful precedent that could follow with Solana’s ETF debut.
As of November 18, 2025, Solana (SOL) is priced at $131.24 with a market cap of approximately $72.75 billion, maintaining a 2.34% market dominance. With a 24-hour trading volume near $7.29 billion, SOL has shown a 5.12% decline over the last day, whereas its 7-day movement registered a 21.30% drop. [Data sourced from CoinMarketCap]

Coincu’s research highlights the potential of Fidelity’s ETF launch to facilitate wider institutional adoption of Solana, leveraging its staking model.
This innovation could increase SOL’s price stability and possibly reduce circulating supply, reinforcing Solana’s network activity. Competitive pricing and strategic product launches emphasize the seriousness of current market dynamics.
“Fidelity Solana ETF (FSOL) is scheduled to go live tomorrow with a management fee of 0.25%. In this category, Fidelity is undoubtedly the largest asset manager, while BlackRock is not participating. BSOL was the first to go live, currently with $450 million in AUM, VSOL went live today, and Grayscale is also involved. The competition is officially on.” — Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst, Bloomberg

Don’t Expect V-Shape Recovery, Warns AnalystLacie Zhang, Research Analyst at Bitget Wallet, highlighted in a note to Benzinga Bitcoin's recent "death cross," where the 50-day short-term moving average slipped below the 200-day short-term moving average.
"In some cycles it has marked macro bottoms and strong reversals, while in deeper bear phases it has preceded continued downside," Zhang pointed out the mixed implications.
"Short-term, we expect Bitcoin to consolidate in the $90,000–$110,000 range through November, while Ethereum trades around $3,000–$3,600," the analyst projected.
Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader Michaël van de Poppe emphasized the high volatility and predicted downsides in the first few days of the week.
"Also, given that last week was such a terrible weekly candle, it’s impossible to expect an imminent V-shape recovery after that. Things take time," the analyst remarked.
Despite the pain, Van De Poppe declared that they won’t be selling and are prepared to be “patient.”

Why Are Bitcoin, Ethereum And XRP Prices Crashing Hard Today?
The global crypto market has entered one of its sharpest correction phases in recent history, with assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP continuing to fall. Over the last 41 days, the market has lost more than $1.1 trillion in value, averaging nearly $27 billion erased per day.
As of today, Bitcoin has fallen to around $91,238, down more than 13% this week, while Ethereum slipped to $3,012 and XRP dropped to $2.13, losing over 15% in seven days. Several popular altcoins also remain in deep red territory. Analysts say this downturn is not driven by weak fundamentals, but by a combination of structural, psychological, and mechanical factors.
The Crash Timeline and Why It Feels Different
According to research shared by The Kobesi Letter, the decline started soon after crypto’s market cap approached $4.3 trillion. A series of major political and macro headlines added uncertainty, beginning with 100% tariff announcements on China, followed by mixed messages about U.S. crypto leadership. Despite positive comments supporting crypto innovation, Bitcoin, Ethereum, and most altcoins continued falling.
Today, the entire market is now 10% below the levels seen during the record $19 billion liquidation event on October 10, indicating that the downturn has continued far beyond a single flash crash.
Why the Drop Is Structural, Not Just EmotionalThe current decline is not caused by bad news or failing fundamentals. In fact, several developments remained positive, including support statements from U.S. leadership and continued long-term confidence from institutions.
Instead, the downturn appears tied to mechanical market structure, starting with institutional outflows in late October. In the first week of November alone, crypto funds recorded $1.2 billion in withdrawals, setting off a chain reaction.
Could Bitcoin Drop to $50,000, or Bounce Soon?Short-term technical readings show the market is becoming oversold, which increases the chances of a temporary relief bounce. But if selling pressure continues and macro conditions weaken, experts say a drop toward $50,000 cannot be ruled out, especially if long-term holders continue selling.

TRON DAO brings TRON Academy to UC Berkeley as campus interest in blockchain accelerates
Geneva, Switzerland, November 17, 2025 — TRON DAO, the community-governed DAO dedicated to accelerating the decentralization of the internet through blockchain technology and decentralized applications (dApps), successfully concluded its educational workshop with the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) on November 14. This latest initiative extends TRON DAO’s growing academic network, which already includes world-class institutions such as Imperial College London, Yale University, Dartmouth College, Princeton University, MIT, Cornell University, Columbia University, and Harvard University. The fast growing collaboration demonstrates TRON DAO’s strategic focus on driving innovation within the blockchain education sector while preparing the next generation of Web3 innovators.
Organized through the TRON Academy initiative—a worldwide educational program connecting classroom theory with practical blockchain implementation. TRON Academy provides students with direct access to funding opportunities, learning materials, and professional development experiences. The Academy’s mission centers on empowering student organizations to build impactful, scalable solutions using blockchain technology.
At the UC Berkeley’s campus, Sam Elfarra, Community Spokesperson at the TRON DAO, led a workshop of approximately 30 students through an exploration of the TRON ecosystem and emerging sectors defining Web3’s evolution. The curriculum examined Payment Finance (PayFi) across various payment verticals, addressing topics from instant settlement mechanisms to international money transfers, alongside a comprehensive look at Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and its diverse applications. A key discussion through the session was a comparative analysis between blockchain infrastructure and conventional financial systems, where students assessed both obstacles and prospects for the different ecosystems.
“Through TRON Academy, we’re catalyzing substantial progress in blockchain education by equipping students with practical expertise, essential tools, and industry connections to emerge as tomorrow’s pioneers,” said Elfarra. “Following our recent workshops at Columbia and Harvard, it’s incredibly encouraging to witness the genuine interest and commitment students bring to learning about blockchain advancements. Building a community among youths, ensuring students receive the guidance necessary to champion widespread blockchain adoption, is important to TRON.”
After the presentation, the TRON DAO team met with student leaders to collect feedback on Web3 trends within campus and identified opportunities to enhance blockchain educational programming. The active engagement at UC Berkeley highlights rising student enthusiasm for decentralized technologies and universities’ pivotal position in advancing blockchain competency.
As the blockchain sector matures, TRON DAO maintains its dedication to nurturing emerging professionals, facilitating student-led initiatives and closing the gap to blockchain learning opportunities — via programs such as the TRON Academy. For more information about upcoming educational initiatives, please visit TRON Academy’s official website.

Is the memecoin frenzy over? Here's what the data says
Key Takeaways
Why are memecoins down?
The memecoin market has been down in the past week due to declining volume and increasing sell pressure.
Will memes gain ground again?
A shift in sentiment across the entire crypto sector could help memecoins regain their lost frenzy.
The memecoin market is down by about 1.4% in the last 24 hours, with the market cap dropping to $52.05 billion. The daily volume was also declining, commanding about $5.45 billion.
Memecoins led the hardest drops across crypto sectors alongside Layer 1s (L1s) and gaming, respectively. This raises the question of whether the memecoin frenzy is truly over for Q4 2025.
Weekly performance of top 10 memecoins
According to CoinMarketCap data, memecoins suffered the most in the past week, with the top 10 by capitalization experiencing double-digit losses.
All of them had dropped by figures between 9.9% and 30%, with SPX6900 [SPX] leading with losses. Shiba Inu [SHIB] lost the least amount of capital among this category.
After dropping more than 10%, Dogecoin [DOGE] was trading at $0.16. Other notable losers in the past seven days were Pepe [PEPE], Pudgy Penguins [PENGU], and Bonk [BONK], which all declined by more than 18%.

The performance of these top 10 memecoins reflected what was really happening for the broader sector.
This contradicts what took place in the last quarter of 2024 when AI memecoins debuted, for instance, Fartcoin [FARTCOIN].
But what was behind this shift in memecoin performance?
Why are memes down?
Memecoins were dropping harder than the entire crypto market, whose market cap reaches $3.25 trillion. Therefore, we can attribute the drop to the overall structure and sentiment of the crypto market.
Additionally, the memecoin volume was dropping very hard, suggesting traders were avoiding these markets. In fact, sell pressure was the dominant side even for those who were still trading the coins in this sector.
As per data from Stalkchain, sales volume exceeded the $1 million mark, while buyers accounted for half, slightly above $500K.

In this buying and selling contest, two memecoins stood out. The most bought token was FARTCOIN, which was more than 90% down from its ATH of $2.61. The smart money accumulated more than $350K worth of FARTCOIN.
On the other hand, Useless Coin (USELESS) was the most sold by the smart money in the past 24 hours. Similarly, its sell volume was close to $350K as per Stalkchain data, with price declining 21% on the day.
Final take: Is memecoin hype fading?
The market structure showed that memecoins have lost most of their capitalization and are leading the drop overall. They were the weakest in the entire crypto sector, which explained why their capital was fading that fast.
Altogether, the memecoin hype had faded, with capital now rotated to utility-based tokens like the DeFi sector, which was among the best gainers since the October 10th crash.
However, memecoins may regain their ground once sentiment is back.
On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Stablecoin Supply Ratio has declined into the buy territory. Here’s what followed this signal in the past.
Bitcoin SSR RSI Is Giving A Buy Signal
In a new post on X, CryptoQuant community analyst Maartunn has talked about the latest trend in the Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) for Bitcoin. The SSR is an indicator that measures how the market cap of BTC compares against the total supply of the stablecoins.
Stablecoins refer to cryptocurrencies that are pegged to a fiat currency. Investors generally park their capital in the form of these assets when they want to avoid the volatility associated with BTC and other assets.
Such holders also usually eventually invest back into Bitcoin and company, however, exchanging away their stablecoins in favor of them once they feel the time is right. Because of this reason, the stablecoin supply is often looked at as a sort of “available buy supply” in the cryptocurrency sector.
When the value of SSR is high, it means BTC’s value is high compared to the stablecoin supply. Such a trend suggests the market stablecoin buying power is low, which could be a bearish sign.
On the other hand, the indicator being low implies the sector may have a high amount of dry powder available relative to the Bitcoin market cap, which can naturally be bullish.
Now, here is the chart for the BTC SSR shared by the analyst that shows the trend in its Relative Strength Index (RSI) over the last couple of years:
Looks like the value of the metric has plunged in recent days | Source: CryptoQuant
As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin SSR RSI has witnessed a decline recently as the BTC spot price has crashed. This suggests that there may be a high amount of stablecoin buying power available in the market now.
The indicator’s drop has been so steep that it has entered into a zone that Maartunn has flagged as pertaining to a buy signal. From the chart, it’s apparent that past instances of this signal have often coincided with some sort of bottom or led into a price surge.
In a lot of the instances, however, the signal has only resulted in a temporary reversal. It now remains to be seen whether any bullish shift will follow the latest signal, and if one does, whether it will be lasting.
In some other news, a large movement involving dormant tokens has just occurred on the Bitcoin network, as Maartunn has pointed out in another X post.

“4,668 $BTC aged 3–5 years were just spent — a clear spike in dormant supply activation,” noted the analyst. Movement from dormant hands is often a sign of selling.

Bearish momentum hasn’t shown any signs of stopping for Bitcoin as its price has now dropped to the $92,500 level.

Ethereum Breaks $3K Floor as Bears Press for Additional Downside
Ethereum price failed to stay above $3,150 and extended losses. ETH is down over 5% and might struggle to recover above $3,200 in the near term.
Ethereum started a fresh decline after it failed to stay above $3,150.
The price is trading below $3,100 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average.
There is a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,150 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD (data feed via Kraken).
The pair could continue to move down if it settles below the $3,000 zone.
Ethereum Price Turns Red
Ethereum price failed to continue higher above $3,150 and started a fresh decline, like Bitcoin. ETH price dipped below $3,180 and entered a bearish zone.
The decline gathered pace below $3,120 and the price dipped below $3,000. A low was formed at $2,955 and the price is now correcting some losses. There was a move toward the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,562 swing high to the $2,955 low.
Ethereum price is now trading below $3,150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. If there is another recovery wave, the price could face resistance near the $3,050 level. The next key resistance is near the $3,150 level. There is also a key bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3,150 on the hourly chart of ETH/USD.
Source: ETHUSD on TradingView.com
The first major resistance is near the $3,260 level and the 50% Fib retracement level of the recent decline from the $3,562 swing high to the $2,955 low. A clear move above the $3,260 resistance might send the price toward the $3,350 resistance. An upside break above the $3,350 region might call for more gains in the coming days. In the stated case, Ether could rise toward the $3,450 resistance zone or even $3,500 in the near term.
More Downside In ETH?
If Ethereum fails to clear the $3,150 resistance, it could start a fresh decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $2,950 level. The first major support sits near the $2,880 zone.
A clear move below the $2,880 support might push the price toward the $2,750 support. Any more losses might send the price toward the $2,680 region in the near term. The next key support sits at $2,650 and $2,640.
Technical Indicators
Hourly MACD – The MACD for ETH/USD is gaining momentum in the bearish zone.
Hourly RSI – The RSI for ETH/USD is now below the 50 zone.
Bitcoin prices took a tumble on Monday, November 17, extending their recent losses and reaching their lowest point in over six months.
The world’s most prominent digital currency fell to $90,128.00 during the day, according to Coinbase data from TradingView.
At this point, the cryptocurrency was trading at its most depressed level since approximately April 21, additional Coinbase figures provided by TradingView reveal.
When explaining the latest price declines, analysts pointed to several factors, but generally painted a picture of deteriorating market conditions.
“Bitcoin’s decline is coming from a mix of profit-taking, shrinking liquidity, and macro pressures,” DiPasquale, CEO of cryptocurrency hedge fund manager BitBull Capital, stated via email.
“Long-term holders have been selling into strength after the run-up to all-time highs, and that’s put meaningful supply back into the market,” he continued.
“Liquidity has also deteriorated, so the market simply can’t absorb large sell orders the way it did earlier in the year,” the market observer added.
“At the same time, tighter financial conditions and rising concerns about credit risk have pushed investors out of higher-beta assets, and crypto is feeling that rotation immediately.”
“The combination of weaker liquidity, derisking by institutions, and long-term holders taking profit has accelerated the move lower,” said DiPasquale.

Maja Vujinovic, CEO and cofounder of Digital Assets at FG Nexus, also commented on the weakening conditions in the cryptocurrency markets.
“Bitcoin’s slide is driven by a convergence of macro and market structure factors,” she stated through email. “We’ve moved into a clear risk-off environment, tech, growth, and high-beta assets all sold off as investors priced in higher-for-longer interest rates.”
“In turn, that shift pulled capital out of the Bitcoin ETFs, where hedge funds and fast-money allocators were taking profits after a massive run-up,” the analyst continued.
Julio Moreno, head of research for CryptoQuant, also weighed in, speaking to falling demand.
“I think this is a follow up price correction happening in the context of broad bearish conditions in crypto markets,” he said via Telegram when asked what was driving bitcoin’s most recent declines.
“Specifically, the demand for Bitcoin and crypto assets from US investors have been contracting, as seen by negative flows of ETFS and a negative Bitcoin Coinbase price premium,” Moreno added.
Credit RisksOne analyst took a broader view, emphasizing bitcoin’s recent correlation to risk assets and voicing concerns about the credit markets.
“Bitcoin and Crypto in general have become very correlated to ‘risk-assets’ as of late,” Greg Magadini, director of derivatives for digital asset data provider Amberdata claimed via email.
“Today the market is beginning to reflect nervousness around credit. Almost all western governments are running large spending deficits on top of already large debt burdens while the stock market is being led higher by AI related stocks,” he added, pointing out what he views as potential risks.
“Something like 40% of the S&P-500 has exposure to AI in some form,” Magadini continued. “This becomes a problem if the AI driven growth needs to be financed through large credit issuances to finance future CapEx, ahead of meaningful organic revenue.”
The derivatives expert was not alone in highlighting AI as a potential threat to assets like stocks and cryptocurrencies, as David Brickell, head of international distribution for FRNT, stated via Telegram that “Broader risk assets are also under pressure amid concern over an AI-driven tech bubble."
Brickell also offered an outlook on liquidity, stating that “With the government shutdown resolved, liquidity should gradually return as the Treasury General Account is spent down, but ahead of major U.S. data releases, markets remain cautious and defensive.”

Ethereum nears key support as long-term holders eye recovery amid market volatility
Ethereum is trading near significant demand levels as volatility continues across cryptocurrency markets, new on-chain data shows. The second-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization is hovering near short-term support following weeks of selling pressure.
Summary
Ethereum price nears key support: Ethereum is trading near short-term support levels after weeks of selling pressure, with on-chain data from CryptoQuant showing the current price is around 8% above the Accumulation Addresses Realized Price, a key metric for long-term investors.
Long-term holders remain active: Despite market volatility, 17 million Ethereum coins flowed into accumulation addresses in 2025, increasing the balance held by these wallets from 10 million to over 27 million coins, signaling continued interest from long-term investors.
Technical analysis shows mixed signals: Ethereum is maintaining its position above structural support near the 200-week moving average, though the 50-week moving average is acting as resistance. A break above or below these levels could signal a shift in market momentum.
Source: CoinGecko
Ethereum’s current price is $2,967.76. That’s down 23.4% over the past month. However, the price sits approximately 8% above the Accumulation Addresses Realized Price level — a metric representing the average cost basis of long-term investors who have acquired the asset during previous market cycles, according to CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci.
The Accumulation Addresses Realized Price level tracks the average cost basis of long-term Ethereum holders who have acquired the cryptocurrency across multiple market cycles, Kesmeci stated in the report. This investor group typically purchases during periods of market stress, according to the analysis.
Historical data shows Ethereum has fallen below this level only once, during the April period when global markets experienced heightened uncertainty. The Global Economic Policy Uncertainty Index (GEPUCURRENT) reached levels exceeding those recorded during the COVID-19 pandemic peak, the data indicated.
In 2025, approximately 17 million coins flowed into accumulation addresses, increasing the total balance held by these wallets from 10 million to over 27 million. This accumulation occurred despite widespread market volatility.
Technical analysis of Ethereum’s weekly chart shows the asset maintaining position above structural support near the 200-week moving average, a level that has marked significant price bottoms in previous cycles. The price briefly dropped below this zone last week before recovering, according to chart data.
The 50-week moving average currently serves as immediate resistance above current price levels. A move above that average would signal a potential momentum shift. At the same time, a break below nearby structural support could trigger further correction toward the Accumulation Realized Price level identified in the CryptoQuant analysis.
Market observers note the current price action resembles previous correction phases, including the April 2025 decline, when Ethereum tested long-term support levels before recovering. The convergence of technical indicators and on-chain metrics suggests current price levels are drawing attention from long-term holders and institutional participants, according to market analysts.

Bitcoin Crashes Under $90K as Death Cross Creates 'Extreme Fear' Sentiment
Bitcoin Crashes Under $90K as Death Cross Creates 'Extreme Fear' SentimentThe drop to $89,420 — its lowest level since February — comes just six weeks after prices topped out at a record $126,250, marking a sharp reversal.Updated Nov 18, 2025, 3:44 a.m. Published Nov 18, 2025, 3:44 a.m.
Bitcoin plunged below $90,000 on Monday in Asian hours, extending a selloff that has now erased the entirety of its 2025 gains and pushed sentiment into one of its most depressed readings of the cycle.
The drop to $89,420 — its lowest level since February — comes just six weeks after prices topped out at a record $126,250, marking a sharp reversal.
The slide accelerated after Bitcoin failed to reclaim key support at $93,700 over the weekend, breaking below its 200-day moving average and triggering a “death cross” between the 50-day and 200-day trendlines.
STORY CONTINUES BELOW
That signal, while imperfect, tends to coincide with multi-week drawdowns when accompanied by evaporating liquidity and stalled ETF inflows — both of which are now visible.
Flows into the U.S. spot ETFs, which absorbed more than $25 billion earlier in the year, have flatlined for nearly two weeks amid concerns that the Trump administration’s tariff agenda could inject another round of inflation and delay Federal Reserve rate cuts.
Corporate balance-sheet buyers that aggressively accumulated in the first half of the year have likewise paused purchases.
Retail stress is deepening. The crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 11 on Monday, its lowest print since the 2022 bear market, signaling “extreme fear.”
Social dominance for Bitcoin — the share of marketwide chatter tied to BTC — has spiked, a pattern that historically appears near local capitulation events as traders abandon altcoins to focus on the benchmark asset.
Analysts warn that failure to reclaim $93,000 in the near term leaves a clear liquidity pocket toward $86,000–$88,000.
Still, some note that sentiment shocks of this magnitude often precede short-term relief rallies if ETF outflows stabilize and macro data turns less hawkish in the coming weeks.

Tom Lee Says Ethereum Starting a Bitcoin-Like Supercycle
Ethereum may be preparing for a long-term breakout simil (opens in a new taar to Bitcoin’s explosive run over the past eight years, according to Tom Lee, cofounder of Fundstrat and executive chair of BitMine. Lee said on Sunday that Ether is “embarking on the same Supercycle” that pushed Bitcoin from $1k in 2017 to over one hundred times that value today.
Lee shared the view in a post on X, where he reflected on his original Bitcoin call. He recommended BTC to Fundstrat clients in 2017 with a small one to two percent allocation. Bitcoin was about one thousand dollars at the time.
Since then, the asset has survived six drops of more than 50% and three deep declines of over 75%. Yet it still delivered a hundred-fold gain from his first recommendation.
Bitcoin is a volatile asset.
We first recommended Bitcoin to Fundstrat clients in 2017 (1%-2% allocation)
– Bitcoin 2017 ~$1,000
Since then (past 8.5 years), $BTC:
– 6 declines > -50%
– 3 declines > – 75%
2025, Bitcoin 100x from our first recommendation
TAKEAWAY:
To have… pic.twitter.com/xtIRGLdnWM
— Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FSInsight.com (@fundstrat) November 16, 2025
Lee said these gains did not come without severe stress moments. “To have gained from that 100x Supercycle, one had to stomach existential moments to HODL,” he wrote. In his view, the reason for this volatility is simple. Crypto prices “discount a massive future,” and doubt always creates sharp swings.
He believes Ether is entering the same type of long-term cycle now.
Ether Trails Bitcoin, but Accumulation Is Rising
Ether has been slower than Bitcoin for most of 2025. Bitcoin pushed to a new peak above $126k in October. Ether reached its own high of $4,946 in August but has not kept pace since then. As of Monday, Bitcoin is down about 25% from its record. Ether has fallen more than 35%from its high.
Lee said the volatility does not change the long-term picture. To him, the pullback is part of a broader cycle where doubt clears the way for future growth.
On-chain data supports that view. According to CryptoQuant analyst Burak Kesmeci, Ether is now close to the average cost basis of long-term holders.
Source: CryptoQuant
With ETH trading around $3185, it is only about $200 above the price where long-term accumulators last bought in. Ether has dipped below that level only once this year, in April, during uncertainty related to global tariff announcements by the Trump administration.
Kesmeci said this zone is one of the strongest long-term accumulation ranges for Ether. More than 17 million ETH has moved into accumulation wallets in 2025. The total balance held by these long-term addresses has grown from $10 million ETH at the start of the year to 27 million ETH today. If the price drops below $2,900, he expects it will not stay there for long.
Ether briefly fell to a low of $3023 on Sunday but has since stabilized.
What Lee’s Call Means for the Market
Lee’s comment adds a notable shift in tone. Much of the market conversation this year has centered on Bitcoin’s strength. Ethereum has taken a back seat. But Lee’s view suggests Ether may be at the early stage of a larger cycle, similar to Bitcoin during its 2017 to 2025 climb.
The message is simple. The path will not be smooth. But the long-term direction, in his view, is higher. Or as he put it, “The path higher is not a straight line. HODL.”

Target Vs. Walmart: Which is the Better Retail Stock Ahead of Q3 Results?
It’s been hard to overlook Walmart’s (WMT - Free Report) steady growth, while Target’s (TGT - Free Report) cheaper valuation may still compel investors as a potential buy-the-dip target.
To that point, ahead of their Q3 results this week, Walmart stock is up a very respectable +14% in 2025, with Target shares down a grizzly 30%.
Seeing as past performance is not always indicative of future success, this certainly makes it a worthy topic of which retail stock may be the better investment as their Q3 reports approach.
Target & Walmart’s Q3 ExpectationsSet to report on Wednesday, November 19, Target’s Q3 sales are thought to have dipped 1% to $25.36 billion. On the bottom line, Target’s Q3 EPS is expected to be down 5% to $1.76. Notably, Target has missed the Zacks EPS Consensus in three of its last four quarterly reports with an average EPS surprise of -8.44%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
As for Walmart, which reports on Thursday, November 20, Q3 sales are expected to be up over 4% to $177.14 billion. Even better, Walmart’s Q3 EPS is slated to rise 5% year over year to $0.61. Walmart has exceeded earnings expectations in three of its last four quarterly reports, with an average surprise of 2.79% despite most recently missing Q2 EPS estimates by nearly 7%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Walmart’s Success & Target’s WoesSummarizing their contrasting stock performances, Walmart has used e-commerce to leverage its massive global scale and grocery dominance while expanding into higher-margin businesses such as advertising, memberships, marketplace services, and vertical integration in food supply chains.
In the last five years, WMT has stellar gains of over +100% with Walmart now bringing in more than $100 billion in digital sales annually.
Meanwhile, TGT is down over 45% during this period as Target has struggled with weaker sales growth, narrower margins, and less resilience to consumer spending shifts after previously being somewhat of a Wall Street darling as it relates to retail stocks.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
TGT & WMT Valuation ComparisonSurely attracting investor interest is that Target stock is trading at a steep discount to the benchmark S&P 500's 25X forward earnings multiple and the broader Zacks Retail and Wholesale sectors' 27X. It’s also noteworthy that TGT is trading at a 20% discount to its decade-long median of 15X forward earnings.
Walmart, on the other hand, trades at 39X forward earnings, although its EPS growth has been justifiable of a premium.
In terms of price to forward sales, TGT and WMT both trade at the often preferred level of less than 2X.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Dividend Comparison & Final ThoughtsAs dividend kings that have increased their payouts for at least 50 consecutive years, Walmart and Target are both making the argument for being viable long-term investments at their current levels.
That said, their Q3 reports will be critical to gauging if Walmart stock still has more upside or if Target’s is due for a rebound, with WMT and TGT both landing a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment.
Of course, Walmart’s steady expansion may make it a better long-term choice in terms of stock appreciation. Although a sharper turnaround in Target’s operational efficiency has been much needed, its reliable 5.07% annual dividend yield could still be more attractive regarding total return potential going forward compared to Walmart’s 0.92%.

The acquisition of Vault Verify provides additional information to Equifax’s The Work Number database, including information that can help consumers when they apply for jobs, mortgages, social service benefits and other financial services, according to the release.
“Leveraging the power of our Equifax Cloud transformation, we are able to rapidly integrate Vault Verify into ongoing Equifax operations and deliver verifiers the information they need quickly and efficiently,” Equifax CEO Mark Begor said in the release.
Vault Verify, an Equifax company, is now part of the Equifax Workforce Solutions business unit, and members of the Vault Verify team have assumed roles within that business unit, per the release.

Joe Muchnick, chief operating officer at Equifax Workforce Solutions, said in the release: “We are excited about the enhanced set of knowledge and capabilities that our combined Vault Verify and Equifax teams will be able to offer as we seek to help streamline life’s important moments through secure, efficient verifications.”
Equifax said in an October earnings report that its revenue was up 7% year over year in the third quarter, despite what it called headwinds from the U.S. hiring and mortgage markets.
During the company’s previous earnings call, held in July, Begor said that the Workforce group had seen hiring transactions slow due to economic uncertainty but had seen its government business remain positive as “states implement stronger verification requirements aligned with these new government requirements.”
In October, Equifax launched a generative artificial intelligence (AI) solution that helps lenders analyze portfolio performance, identify growth opportunities and improve decision-making through conversational data insights.
This Equifax Ignite AI Advisor solution is built on the Equifax Cloud, powered by its Amplify AI engine, and merges lenders’ internal data with Equifax’s proprietary credit and risk analytics.

India's goods trade deficit in October shatters records, beating estimates, as gold imports surge 200%
India's goods trade deficit hit an all-time high of $41.7 billion in October as gold imports surged on festive season demand, while exports to U.S. bore the brunt of steep tariffs.
The deficit, which was sharply wider than Reuters poll estimates of $28.8 billion, topped the previous all-time high of $37.8 billion in November 2024, according to LSEG data.
During October, India imported gold worth of $14.7 billion, up nearly 200% from October last year, data from the country's commerce ministry released Monday showed. Indian consumers are estimated to have bought gold worth $11 billion during the 5-day festival period in October.
The impact of tariffs was also visible in trade data as India's exports to the U.S. fell for a second consecutive month since the 50% tariffs came into effect in August end. Shipments to U.S. fell 8.5% year on year in October to $6.3 billion.
Despite the decline, the U.S remained India's largest exports destination during the first 7 months of this fiscal year, accounting for shipments worth $52 billion.
India exported gems and jewelry worth $2.3 billion in October down 29.5%, engineering goods worth $9.4 billion, down 16.7%. Exports of cotton and man-made yarn and ready-made garments fell 12%-13%. The U.S. is the top export destination for all these commodities.
Meanwhile, India's exports to China rose 42% to $1.6 billion.
The country's merchandise imports are "expected to cool somewhat in November-December 2025 from the October levels" due to a sequential dip in gold imports as the festive season ends and some pickup in exports, Moody's-owned Indian credit rating firm ICRA Research said in a note on Monday.
But it cautioned that India's current account deficit is set to "widen materially to 2.4-2.5% of GDP" in the third quarter of fiscal year ending March 2026. It expects the ratio of CAD to gross domestic product to be around 1.2% in fiscal year 2026, if the 50% U.S. tariffs continue until end-March 2026.
Trade negotiations between U.S and India have been underway for months, but a deal has been elusive so far. Both sides have begun to soften their stance, with U.S. President Donald Trump hinting at reducing tariffs on India.
Reaching out to Washington, New Delhi has increased oil and gas purchases from the U.S. to reduce the trade surplus it enjoys with Washington. The country is also expected to purchase farm products from the U.S.

This Fintech Stock Just Went On Sale. Here's Why It Could 10X
Sezzle has been a big winner over its history. The recent pullback could be an opportunity.
We're nearing the end of 2025, and it looks set to be another winning year for the stock market, continuing the artificial-intelligence-driven bull market that began with the launch of ChatGPT.
However, more recently, stocks are showing signs of weakness as murmurs about an AI bubble are growing louder.
One of the most vulnerable sectors has been fintech, as a number of fintech stocks have fallen sharply in recent weeks on concerns about a weakening credit environment, declining consumer confidence, and a labor market that has soured.
One stock that has tumbled sharply in recent weeks is Sezzle (SEZL 2.24%), the buy now, pay later (BNPL) specialist that has delivered exceptional growth in recent quarters. As you can see from the chart below, however, Sezzle has fallen 43% since Sept. 9, the day before Klarna's IPO, underperforming other declining fintech peers.
Is the sell-off in Sezzle an opportunity? Here's what you need to know about the hot BNPL stock.
Image source: Getty Images.
Sezzle is still sizzling
Sezzle stock skyrocketed on soaring growth earlier this year, but the stock plunged in August on its second-quarter earnings report. While the company beat analyst estimates, management did not raise its full-year guidance, indicating an expected moderation in its growth rate in the second half of the year.
Sezzle stock fell again on Nov. 6 on its third-quarter earnings report as it easily beat analyst estimates and raised its EPS guidance for the year. However, CFO Karen Hartje, who built the company's finance team, said she intended to resign for personal reasons, leaving a significant gap in the company's leadership. Hartje will serve as CFO while the company searches for her replacement.
Despite the market's reaction to Sezzle's results, its numbers have been strong. In the third quarter, gross merchandise volume -- the total spend on the platform -- jumped 58.7% to $1 billion, and revenue jumped 67% to $116.8 million as the company's monthly on-demand users and subscribers, which it calls MODS, rose 36,000 in the quarter to 784,000.
On the bottom line, its performance was also strong, with adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) rising 75% to $39.6 million, and adjusted earnings per share from $0.47 to $0.71.
Sezzle was a late entrant in the BNPL arena and has had to be scrappy to gain market share. Its business model is similar to that of other BNPL operators. It offers a "pay in four" feature and makes most of its money from merchants, who pay a 6% processing fee plus $0.30 on transactions.
The company also presents itself as more user-friendly and less predatory than its peers. For example, it cuts off users if they miss payments, which limits its own credit risk and gives users an incentive to pay their bills.
Its subscription products have been popular and include Sezzle Anywhere, which allows users to use Sezzle virtually anywhere Visa is accepted.

Current Price

50.97
Could Sezzle 10x?
While Sezzle is under pressure like other fintech stocks, this could be an attractive buying opportunity. Based on its updated adjusted EPS of $3.38 for the year, the stock now trades at a forward P/E of just 16, which is incredibly cheap for a company growing this fast.
That seems to reflect investor skepticism about the growth potential of the business as well as its rising credit risk in the current macro environment. However, while credit risk may be going up, the pressure on the consumer also creates more opportunity for Sezzle, as it's likely to drive more people to use its product. In the third quarter, its provision for credit losses doubled to $32.2 million, a potential warning sign.
However, if Sezzle can get through the current volatile market environment unscathed, the stock could move a lot higher from here, considering its valuation, its growth rate, and the large market opportunity in BNPL. Given its current market cap of $1.8 billion, a 10x gain isn't out of the question if Sezzle can maintain a strong growth rate.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 17, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Avantor, Inc. (NYSE: AVTR) between March 5, 2024 and October 28, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important December 29, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.
SO WHAT: If you purchased Avantor common stock during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Avantor class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47303 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than December 29, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.
WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved, at that time, the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.
DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants misrepresented and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Avantor's competitive positioning was weaker than defendants had publicly represented; (2) Avantor was experiencing negative effects from increased competition; and (3) as a result, defendants' representations about Avantor's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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

Pfizer's CEO Sends a Warning to Eli Lilly. Is the Stock a Buy?
Pfizer's weight management pipeline just got a boost.
Oncology is the largest therapeutic area in the pharmaceutical industry by sales, but right now, weight management is the hottest. This market is predicted to grow rapidly in the next decade, handsomely rewarding any drugmaker that establishes itself as a leader in the field.
Right now, that's none other than Eli Lilly (LLY 0.20%). However, others are looking to challenge its dominance. Recent comments from Pfizer's (PFE +0.08%) CEO, Albert Bourla, suggest it could become one of the companies that successfully carve out a niche in the weight management space. Let's see what Bourla said, and what it means for investors.
Image source: Getty Images.
This acquisition catapulted Pfizer near the front of the line
On Nov. 13, Pfizer finalized its acquisition of Metsera, a smaller drugmaker with several weight loss candidates in the pipeline. The deal cost Pfizer $7 billion in cash and could be worth up to $10 billion once milestone payments kick in. There are at least two important clues that tell us Metsera has its hands on some exciting candidates.
The first is that Pfizer had to battle an established leader in the field, Novo Nordisk, to complete this acquisition. After the former company put in a bid, the latter stepped in with a higher one. Pfizer eventually won the race. But the fact that two pharmaceutical giants, including one with a proven history of developing breakthrough medicines in this area, wanted Metsera under their wings is worth mentioning.

Second, Metsera's actual clinical trial results look promising. In a phase 2 study, Metsera's leading candidate, MET-097i, demonstrated substantial weight loss and highly encouraging tolerability. It might be one of the more promising mid-stage assets, especially once we set aside those being developed by Eli Lilly and Novo Nordisk.
Pfizer's CEO certainly thinks so. In a TV interview, Bourla said: "Pfizer, when it plays, plays big. And we will -- as we did in COVID, as we did with Lipitor, as we did with ... Viagra, as we did with all the medicines that we have invented and brought to the market -- we will do the same with obesity."
Lipitor, a medicine used to manage blood cholesterol levels, was the best-selling drug in history at one point, though it has since been supplanted. Pfizer's COVID products peaked at near $57 billion in revenue in 2022 and helped it become the first biopharma company to generate $100 billion in annual sales. Comparing its weight management efforts to those successes speaks volumes about where Bourla thinks Pfizer will land in this field.
But is it enough to dethrone Eli Lilly?
Pfizer expects to launch its first anti-obesity drug by the end of 2028. In the meantime, though, Eli Lilly has a considerable lead. The latter company already has Zepbound on the market, a medicine whose sales have been growing exceptionally well. Meanwhile, Lilly could launch a few more products in this field by 2028.
First, there's orforglipron, an oral GLP-1 medicine that posted strong phase 3 results in both diabetes and obesity this year. Orforglipron could earn approval by early next year, given that Eli Lilly has received a new voucher from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that allows for expedited review.

%) $

Current Price
$
1023.21
Then, there's Eli Lilly's retatrutide, a medicine currently in phase 3 studies. Retatrutide mimics the action of three gut hormones -- GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon -- and this approach could lead to increased efficacy. The therapy performed very well in mid-stage studies and could post phase 3 results relatively soon.
Next month, Eli Lilly plans to start a phase 3 study for another candidate, eloralintide, which recently completed phase 2 studies. In short, Lilly's existing lineup and pipeline in anti-obesity looks strong enough to fend off the competition. Though others will eventually join the market and generate strong sales from their weight loss medicines, Eli Lilly seems likely to remain the leader for the foreseeable future.
Is Pfizer stock a buy?
Pfizer's financial results have been disappointing over the past few years. And one of its top growth drivers, Eliquis, an anticoagulant, is facing a patent cliff within a few years, so at first glance, the drugmaker's outlook does not look bright. But with a deep pipeline, Pfizer seems likely to turn things around.
Metsera's assets will take center stage now, given the rapid growth of the weight-loss market. If Pfizer can achieve the kind of success in this area that Bourla is predicting, the company should rebound. But it has other exciting candidates, especially in oncology. My view is that Pfizer will succeed in its turnaround, thanks to its pipeline and to a lineup of newer products that should eventually contribute to its top line.
That's to say nothing of the company's strong dividend program, which should appeal to investors. With all that in mind, Pfizer's shares look attractive at current levels.
