One of the most important metrics for XRP right now is not stabilizing, which is a negative sign for the asset.

XRP has formally fallen below the one billion daily payment volume threshold, a significant technical and symbolic milestone that highlights the network’s waning transactional momentum. Payment volume has dropped to 903 million XRP, according to data from XRP Ledger metrics, and the number of transactions has also decreased to about 1.98 million. This drop coincides with weakening price movement and rising skepticism about the token’s immediate prospects.

XRP has not improvedOn-chain activity provides a clear picture: since late October, there has been a gradual decline in both the total transfer volume and the number of executed transactions, reversing a brief recovery wave. In the past, a cooling off in network utility, fewer inter-account transfers and decreasing transactional throughput throughout Ripple’s ecosystem has been indicated when XRP payment volume falls below the one billion threshold.

Source: XRPScanIn terms of price, XRP has not improved. The token, which is currently trading at $2.17, is having difficulty holding onto important support levels following an earlier attempt this week to break above $2.50. According to the daily chart, XRP is in a sharp decline, with the 200-day EMA becoming solid resistance. The RSI is close to 35, indicating that bearish pressure is still strong but also pointing to a slight oversold situation that might encourage a technical recovery.

HOT Stories

XRP's plummeting on-chain activityExpectations in the near future are muted due to a combination of deteriorating fundamentals and ongoing selling pressure. It is unlikely that market sentiment will change significantly unless XRP can regain transactional traction and maintain payment volumes above $1 billion. The decline in on-chain activity also suggests that institutional usage, which is frequently cited as XRP’s primary motivator, might be temporarily pausing.

Even though XRP is still one of the most well-known digital assets in the industry, its present trajectory appears to be stagnant. Investors should prepare for further sideways-to-downward movement in the upcoming weeks, with a possible recovery only if payment volumes regain the lost billion-level milestone, unless there is a significant technical reversal or a resurgence in real transactional demand.

A public research center in Tenerife is preparing to sell a stash of Bitcoin it bought more than a decade ago — a holding that has grown from a modest experiment into a multi-million dollar pot.

Reports say the Institute of Technology and Renewable Energies (ITER), tied to the Tenerife Island Council, purchased 97 BTC in 2012 for about €10,000. The coins are now worth over $10 million at current prices.

Preparing To Liquidate A Long-Held Holding
ITER did not buy the Bitcoin as a bet on prices. According to local reporting, the purchase was part of a project to study blockchain and related systems. Now, after years of rising values, council officials are in talks with a regulated Spanish financial institution to move the assets into cash in line with Bank of Spain and CNMV rules.

The sale process faces hurdles. Banks and brokers often demand detailed compliance paperwork for big crypto transactions. That means the operation will be carried out through official channels rather than on a retail exchange. Some sources note ITER has been trying for years to sort legal and administrative steps around the holdings.

Funds Pledged To Research Projects
Based on reports, the money raised from the sale will be used to fund new research at the institute. ITER plans to put the proceeds toward projects including quantum technology and other scientific work that it says will benefit the island and regional development. Officials have framed the plan as a way to turn an old experiment into a public resource for research.

How Big Is The Gain?
The numbers are stark. Buying 97 Bitcoin for roughly €10,000 in 2012 and selling them now at market levels would mean a return measured in the thousands of percent. Exact figures will depend on the final sale price and exchange rates used on the day the coins move. Tax and legal costs could also affect the net amount the institute receives.

What Officials Have Said
Council members and ITER representatives have given short statements to local press about the plan, noting that the original purpose was research rather than investment. Reports indicate officials are coordinating with legal and financial advisers to make sure the disposal meets Spanish rules around public funds and asset sales. The aim is to avoid any misstep that might delay the cashing-out.

With the broader market starting to retract amid valuation concerns, high-growth tech stocks such as Palantir (PLTR - Free Report)  and AMD (AMD - Free Report)  have been at the center of the pullback despite their enticing AI prospects.

Palantir and AMD also took center stage this week after posting favorable AI-driven Q3 results that led to both innovative tech companies exceeding top and bottom line expectations and raising their guidance.

However, PLTR and AMD shares have fallen over 10% this month as fears set in that their extensive year-to-date rallies may be overdone.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

AI-Growth Fuels Palantir & AMD’s Upgraded OutlookJumping into their guidance, Palantir raised its full-year revenue outlook from a range of $4.14–$4.15 billion to $4.39–$4.4 billion. The $250 million revenue upgrade was driven by explosive demand for Palantir's Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP), which helped fuel a 63% yearly increase in Q3 sales at $1.18 billion. More intriguing, Palantir’s U.S commercial segment revenue surged over 120% during Q3 with AIP being in high demand by organizations that want to secure, deploy, manage, and scale AI applications. 

Notably, Palantir raised its Q4 revenue outlook from previous expectations of $1.19 billion to $1.33 billion. It’s also noteworthy that Palantir now expects its full-year adjusted operating income to exceed $2.15 billion and increased its full-year free cash flow target range to $1.9-$2.1 billion.

Meanwhile, AMD’s Q4 guidance reflects confidence in its expanding AI and data center businesses, even as it navigates geopolitical constraints like restricted chip shipments to China. While AMD didn’t formally lift its full-year revenue outlook or any other financial metric targets, the chip giant raised its Q4 sales guidance by $400 million from a previous forecast of $9.2 billion to $9.6 billion.

This comes as AMD's AI chips and AI hardware systems (accelerators) led to record Q3 sales of $9.24 billion, a 35% increase from $6.81 billion a year ago. Other impressive Q4 highlights included record free cash flow of $1.53 billion, which stretched over 200% from the comparative quarter, as illustrated by the quarterly chart below.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

PLTR & AMD Valuation ConcernsAt current levels, PLTR trades at a very high forward earnings multiple of 266X, with AMD at a stretched 60X compared to the benchmark S&P 500’s 25X.

Paying P/E premiums for high-growth tech stocks is to be expected, especially for Palantir, which went public in 2020 and is already profitable, but elevated price-to-sales ratios have drawn attention to the desire for more reasonable valuations. In this regard, AMD has a forward P/S ratio of 11X with the broader market at 5X, and Palantir is at an extreme 99X.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

What the Zacks Rank SuggestsCorrelating with a nice uptick in fiscal 2025 and FY26 EPS revisions, Palantir stock currently sports a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). In that last week, Palantir’s FY25 and FY26 EPS estimates have spiked 10% and 20%, respectively. Indicating PLTR may be on track to grow into its lofty P/E valuation, Palantir’s annual EPS is now expected to soar 78% this year and is projected to increase another 43% in FY26 to $1.04.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

As for AMD, which lands a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), there hasn’t been much movement in FY25 EPS revisions over the last quarter, although FY26 EPS estimates have trended modestly higher and are up 2% in the last month from projections of $5.95 to $6.09. AMD’s bottom line is projected to stretch by high double digits for the foreseeable future as well, but the most revered short-term stock catalyst (increased EPS revisions) has been somewhat absent to suggest more upside after such an extensive YTD rally.

Image Source: Zacks Investment Research

Conclusion & Strategic ThoughtsFollowing their strong Q3 results, the market looks more likely to circle back and reward Palantir’s stock amid this week’s broader pullback. That said, the surge in both of these AI-focused companies' free cash flow is starting to make their long-term prospects more appealing regarding the operating leverage that should lead to increased profitability.

For the quarter ended September 2025, Peapack-Gladstone (PGC - Free Report) reported revenue of $70.69 million, up 24.9% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.54, compared to $0.43 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue compares to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $72.21 million, representing a surprise of -2.09%. The company delivered an EPS surprise of -8.47%, with the consensus EPS estimate being $0.59.

While investors scrutinize revenue and earnings changes year-over-year and how they compare with Wall Street expectations to determine their next move, some key metrics always offer a more accurate picture of a company's financial health.

As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.

Here is how Peapack-Gladstone performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Net interest margin: 2.8% versus 2.8% estimated by three analysts on average.Total Non Interest Income: $20.12 million versus the three-analyst average estimate of $21.28 million.Net Interest Income: $50.57 million versus $50.73 million estimated by two analysts on average.View all Key Company Metrics for Peapack-Gladstone here>>>

Shares of Peapack-Gladstone have returned -7.2% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's -0.2% change. The stock currently has a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell), indicating that it could underperform the broader market in the near term.

New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 7, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, announces it has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of purchasers of securities of CarMax, Inc. (NYSE: KMX) between June 20, 2025 and November 5, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"). The Class Period was expanded to include more investors. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 2, 2026 in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased CarMax securities 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 CarMax class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=47077 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 2, 2026. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. 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 throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Defendants recklessly overstated CarMax's growth prospects when, in reality, its earlier growth in the 2026 fiscal year was a temporary benefit from customers buying cars due to speculation regarding tariffs; and (2) as a result, defendants' statements about CarMax's business, operations and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

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.

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds sellers of ordinary shares, including those that sold into the Merger of Sina Corporation (NASDAQ: SINA) between October 13, 2020 and March 22, 2021, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important November 18, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So What: If you sold Sina ordinary shares, including those that sold into the Merger, 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 Sina class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45219 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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.

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 created a fraudulent scheme to depress the value of Sina ordinary shares to avoid paying a fair price to Sina's shareholders in connection with the Merger. Defendants executed this scheme by misrepresenting and/or omitting material information within and from Sina's proxy materials in connection with the Merger that were necessary for shareholders to make an informed decision concerning whether to vote in favor of the Merger. Specifically, defendants failed to disclose that: (1) defendants concealed the true value of Sina's investment in TuSimple at the time of the Merger; (2) in turn, the offer of $43.30 per ordinary share as consideration for the Merger substantially shortchanged the true value of Sina ordinary shares; and (3) as a result, defendants' statements about Sina's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times.

To join the Sina class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=45219 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

Rafal Brzoska
President of Management Board & CEO

Good morning, everyone. Thank you, Gaby, and thank you all for joining us today. Q3 was another very strong quarter for InPost Group. We delivered record-breaking volumes and revenue growth while maintaining solid margins.

Let me start with the highlights first. In the third quarter, we handled 351 million parcels, an increase of 34%. And this is not just a big number. It's a reflection of consistent merchant adoption, customer loyalty, relentless focus on quality as well as strategic acquisitions. At the top line, we generated PLN 3.8 billion in revenue, up almost 50% year-on-year.

As you can see on the pie chart, already 54% of group revenue came from

For the quarter ended September 2025, Carlyle Group (CG - Free Report) reported revenue of $782.5 million, down 12.6% over the same period last year. EPS came in at $0.98, compared to $0.95 in the year-ago quarter.

The reported revenue represents a surprise of -7.78% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $848.51 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.98, the company has not delivered EPS surprise.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Since these metrics play a crucial role in driving the top- and bottom-line numbers, comparing them with the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated about them helps investors better project a stock's price performance.

Here is how Carlyle performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Nov. 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ascot Resources Ltd. (TSXV: AOT.H; OTCQB: AOTVF) (“Ascot” or the “Company”) announces it is undertaking a rights offering to raise gross proceeds of up to C$14,871,517 (the “Rights Offering”).

Rights Offering

Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the Company will be offering 1,487,151,720 rights (the “Rights”) to certain holders (the “Shareholders”) of common shares in the capital of Ascot (the “Common Shares”) at the close of business on the record date of November 18, 2025 (the “Record Date”) on the basis of one (1) Right for each Common Share held. Each one (1) Right will entitle the holder to subscribe for one (1) Common Share of the Company (a “Rights Share”) at the subscription price of C$0.01 per Rights Share (the “Basic Subscription Privilege”).

The Common Shares are listed on the NEX Board of the TSXV Venture Exchange (“NEX”). The Rights will not be listed on any stock exchange or marketplace.

The Rights will expire at 5:00 p.m. (Toronto time) on December 12, 2025 (the “Expiry Time”), after which time unexercised Rights will be void and of no value. Shareholders who fully exercise their Rights under the Basic Subscription Privilege will be entitled to subscribe pro rata for additional Rights Shares, if available, as a result of unexercised Rights, prior to the Expiry Time (the “Additional Subscription Privilege”), subject to certain limitations as set out in the Company’s Rights Offering circular dated November 7, 2025 (the “Circular”).

In connection with the Rights Offering, the Company has entered into a standby agreement dated October 27, 2025, as amended November 7, 2025, with Fiore Management and Advisory Corp. (“Fiore” or the “Standby Purchaser”), pursuant to which Fiore has agreed to acquire 100% of all outstanding Rights Shares not otherwise acquired under the Rights Offering by Shareholders, including pursuant to the Basic Subscription Privilege and the Additional Subscription Privilege. The Circular will be filed on SEDAR+ under Ascot’s profile at www.sedarplus.ca, along with the Notice of Rights Offering on Form 45-106F14 – Rights Offering Notice for Reporting Issuers (the “Notice”). The Notice, the Rights certificate and subscription form will be mailed to Shareholders in the Eligible Jurisdictions (as defined below) as of the Record Date on or about November 21, 2025. The Company expects to close the Rights Offering on or about December 15, 2025 subject to the requirement of the TSX Venture Exchange (the “TSXV”) that any personal information forms required to be filed in respect of the Rights Offering have been cleared.

The Rights will be offered to Shareholders resident in all provinces and territories of Canada (the “Eligible Jurisdictions”). Registered Shareholders in the Eligible Jurisdictions who wish to exercise their Rights must forward the completed subscription form, together with the applicable funds, to the rights agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (the “Rights Agent”), on or before the Expiry Time. Shareholders who own their Common Shares through an intermediary, such as a bank, trust company, securities dealer, or broker, will receive materials and instructions from their intermediary.

Upon completion of the Rights Offering and assuming all Rights are exercised, the Company will have 2,974,303,440 Common Shares outstanding, of which Rights Shares issued under the Rights Offering will represent approximately 50% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares.

Subject to the detailed provisions of the Circular, Rights certificates and subscription forms will not be mailed to Shareholders resident in the United States or otherwise outside of the Eligible Jurisdictions, unless such Shareholders are able to establish to the satisfaction of the Company that they are eligible to participate in the Rights Offering and provide such evidence to the Company and the Rights Agent of the same.

Closing of the Rights Offering is subject to the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the approval of the TSXV.

Subsequent to the closing of the Rights Offering, the Company will complete a 50:1 share consolidation (the “50:1 Share Consolidation”). The Rights Offering will close on a pre-consolidation basis. The Company also intends to complete a brokered private placement of subscription receipts (the “Subscription Receipts”) at a price per Subscription Receipt to be determined in the context of the market (the “Private Placement”). The Private Placement will also close on a post-consolidation basis. The 50:1 Share Consolidation and the Private Placement are subject to TSXV approval.

If a significant amount of the anticipated Private Placement does not close, the Company will be required to initiate proceedings under the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA).

Use of Proceeds

The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Rights Offering to settle outstanding amounts owed to the Company’s creditors.

November 07, 2025 9:20 PM EST | Source: The Rosen Law Firm PA
New York, New York--(Newsfile Corp. - November 7, 2025) - WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) between May 6, 2025 and June 19, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important November 18, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm.

SO WHAT: If you purchased KBR securities 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 KBR class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=42136 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 18, 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 throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) despite the knowledge that the U.S. Department of Defense's Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) had, for months, had material concerns with HomeSafe's ability to fulfill the Global Household Goods Contract, defendants claimed that the partnership was without issue, and would ramp up in future quarters; and (2) as a result, defendants' statements about KBR's business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the KBR class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=42136 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

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.

The TRON (TRX) market has entered a critical phase as prices continue to slide following Bitcoin's broader correction. With sentiment turning risk-averse and technical signals flashing weakness, traders are now questioning whether the $0.27 support level can prevent a deeper decline.

XRP jumps 5% as 21Shares files spot ETF amendment.SEC review clock starts, possible approval by November 27.Institutional filings signal coordinated XRP ETF rollout.The Ripple price surged 5% in the past hour to $2.32 after 21Shares filed a key amendment for its proposed spot XRP ETF (exchange-traded fund).

The move triggers a 20-day SEC review period that could automatically clear the fund for trading by late November.

Sponsored

The XRP community clearly received the news with euphoria, seen with a surge in buying activity, which catapulted the Ripple price nearly 5% within the hour.

It sets the clock for a potential automatic approval if the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) does not intervene within the window. ETF analyst Eric Balchunas confirmed the move on X (Twitter).

If the SEC remains silent, the ETF could go live around November 27, as highlighted by market expert, Scott Melker.

“It could automatically go live around November 27 if the SEC does not act!” Melker noted.

Likewise, pro-XRP community member Diana described the update as “a countdown to SEC review,” predicting a big “god candle” within a month.

In technical analysis, a god candle refers to a massive, sudden green candlestick on a price chart that represents an explosive upward move in a very short period.

One such instance where the XRP price recorded a good candle was in July 2023, when Judge Analisa Torres delivered a partial ruling in favor of the Ripple community.

Sponsored

Then, naysayers missed out on gains of up to 70% as the XRP price skyrocketed. Therefore, Diana’s god candle prediction reflects the prospective euphoria.

XRP Price Reaction After Judge Torres’ July 13 Decision. Source: TradingViewInstitutional Filings Align Around NovemberThe 21Shares development comes just days after Franklin Templeton and Grayscale Investments made parallel adjustments to their own XRP ETF filings. As BeInCrypto reported, the moves signaled growing institutional coordination ahead of what could be a historic month for the approval of the Ripple-affiliated token.

Sponsored

In particular, Franklin Templeton removed regulatory language that could delay approval from its S-1 registration statement, eliminating the same 8(a) clause that once required explicit SEC clearance before launch.

This change, often used to fast-track ETF effectiveness, has been interpreted by analysts as a sign of readiness for a November rollout.

Meanwhile, Grayscale filed its second amendment for its proposed XRP Trust conversion, designating key executives and legal counsel. This is another preparatory step typically seen ahead of launch timelines.

Adding to the momentum, Canary Capital is now targeting a November 13 debut for its own XRP ETF, pending final approval from Nasdaq.

If one or more XRP ETFs go live this month, it would mark the first time the token joins Bitcoin and Ethereum in the spot ETF market. The event could reshape institutional exposure and liquidity flows for XRP.

“Get ready. Canary XRP ETF (XRPC) is coming soon.”

There is speculation that the Canary XRP ETF could launch next week, potentially gaining a first-to-market advantage in the pure XRP-spot ETF space. CryptoAmerica host and journalist Eleanor Terrett previously signaled a November 13 launch after the issuer filed its amended S-1, removing the ‘delaying amendment’ language.

SEC Delays and Generic Listing Standards
The decision to remove the SEC’s need to greenlight the ETF launch could prove right, given that the US government shutdown dragged into its 38th day. The shutdown has left the SEC with a skeleton staff, delaying reviews and approvals.

The SEC’s Generic Listing Standards (GLS) for commodity-based trust shares enable issuers to list commodity-based ETFs on exchanges without the traditional 19b-4 rule change approval process that may take up to 240 days. In other words, spot ETFs that meet the SEC’s GLS no longer require exchange-specific rule change filings. The GLS shifts the burden from requiring pre-approval to meeting standardized criteria.

Nevertheless, issuers still need to file S-1s to register with the SEC. By removing the delaying amendment language, ETF issuers could launch after a 20-day waiting period, assuming no SEC queries or requests for further amendments. Further amendments would reset the 20-day clock.

While Canary Capital was the first to file an amended S-1, Bitwise and Franklin Templeton followed shortly after. On Friday, November 7, 21Shares joined the growing list of ETF issuers aiming to circumvent shutdown-linked delays to launches.

The ETF issuer filed an S-1 removing the ‘delaying amendment’ language. Crucially, 21Shares will be launching well after the Canary Funds and Bitwise XRP-spot ETFs, potentially giving Canary Funds the benefit of pent-up institutional demand for XRP.

Recent developments could potentially spur institutional demand, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse clarifying that XRP is central to all Ripple activity.

CoinShares, Grayscale, and WisdomTree could launch once the US government reopens, if they don’t file amended S-1s. On the other hand, amended S-1 filings would kickstart the 20-day waiting period.

Institutional Flows Highlight Market Dynamics
In January 2024, the SEC approved all ten BTC-spot ETF S-1s, ensuring no ETF issuer had a first-to-market advantage, and took a similar approach with ETH-spot ETFs.

However, the US government shutdown prevents synchronous approvals. Furthermore, the SEC may not review the three remaining XRP-spot ETFs, yet to file S-1 amendments, until it is fully staffed. Uncertainty remains over the length of the ongoing shutdown.

BTC-spot ETF flows underscored the importance of sticky institutional money that softens price volatility. According to Farside Investors, BTC-spot ETF issuers reported total net inflows of $239.9 million on Thursday, November 6, setting the tone for the Friday session. Thursday’s inflows left outflows for November at $650 million. Relative to price volatility, outflows were light.

Bloomberg Intelligence Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas commented on BTC-spot ETF flows, stating:

“Somehow the bitcoin ETFs took cash yest and have seen<$1bn in outflows during the 20% drawdown = 99.5% of the assets hung tough.”

Technical Outlook: Key XRP Price Levels
XRP rallied 4.59% on Friday, November 7, partially reversing the previous day’s 5.56% drop to close at $2.3140. The token outperformed the broader crypto market, which gained 2.92%.

Despite Friday’s rally, the token is down 7.72% in November, following October’s 11.84% drop. The reversal has left the token trading well below the 50-day and 200-day Exponential Moving Averages (EMAs), signaling strong bearish momentum. However, the 50-day and 200-day EMAs have converged despite Friday’s bearish cross, suggesting a trend-defining move. Certain key events could be catalysts for a bearish trend reversal.

Key technical levels to watch include:

Support levels: $2.2, $2.0, and $1.9.
200-day EMA resistance: $2.5882.
50-day EMA resistance: $2.5764.
Resistance levels: $2.35, $2.5, $2.62, $2.8, $3.0, and $3.66.

Ray Dalio has fired a shot across the macro bow, arguing that the Federal Reserve’s latest balance-sheet guidance risks “stimulating into a bubble” rather than stabilizing a weakening economy—an inversion of the classic post-crisis QE playbook with potentially seismic implications for hard assets, including Bitcoin.

In a post titled “Stimulating Into a Bubble,” Dalio frames the Fed’s pivot—ending quantitative tightening and signaling that reserves will need to start growing again—as the next milestone in the late stage of the Big Debt Cycle. “Did you see that the Fed’s announcement that it will stop QT and begin QE?” he wrote, cautioning that, even if described as a technical maneuver, it is “an easing move… to track the progression of the Big Debt Cycle.”

If balance-sheet expansion coincides with rate cuts and persistent fiscal deficits, Dalio warns, markets will be staring at a “classic monetary and fiscal interaction of the Fed and the Treasury to monetize government debt.” He adds that, in such a setup—high equity prices, tight credit spreads, low unemployment, above-target inflation, and an AI-led mania—“it will look to me like the Fed is stimulating into a bubble.”

The policy context for Dalio’s warning is not imaginary. After months of tightening liquidity and ebbing bank reserves, the Fed has announced it will end balance-sheet runoff (QT). Chair Jerome Powell underscored that, within the ample-reserves framework, the central bank will at some point have to add reserves again: “At a certain point, you’ll want reserves to start gradually growing to keep up with the size of the banking system and the size of the economy. So we’ll be adding reserves at a certain point,” he said at his October 29 press conference.

Officials and many sell-side desks have emphasized that reserve management need not equal a return to crisis-era QE. The practical similarity: if the Fed is again a steady net buyer of Treasuries to maintain “ample” reserves as deficits persist, the market experience can rhyme with QE even without the label.

While Dalio spars Bitcoin from his post, the mechanics are familiar to Bitcoin investors. He argues that when central banks buy bonds and push real yields down, “what happens next depends on where the liquidity goes.” If it remains in financial assets, “multiples expand, risk spreads compress, and gold rises,” producing “financial asset inflation.”

If it seeps into goods and services, inflation rises and real returns can erode. Crucially for cross-asset allocation, Dalio frames relative returns explicitly: with gold yielding 0% and, say, a 10-year Treasury yielding ~4%, gold outperforms if its price appreciation is expected to exceed that rate, especially as inflation expectations rise and the currency’s purchasing power falls. In that environment, “the more money and credit central banks are making, the higher I expect the inflation rate to be, and the less I like bonds relative to gold.”

What This Means For Bitcoin
Commentators immediately translated those mechanics for Bitcoin. “Fed resumes QE → more liquidity → real interest rates fall,” wrote Coin Bureau CEO Nick Puckrin. “Falling real rates → bonds & cash become unattractive → money chases risk and hard assets… Inflation risk rises → investors hedge with gold, commodities, and digital stores of value.” He highlighted Dalio’s own language—“gold rises so there is financial asset inflation,” and QE “pushes real yields down and pushes P/E multiples up”—before concluding: “Bitcoin thrives in precisely that environment… it’s digital gold on steroids.”

Millionaire investor Thomas Kralow sharpened the timing risk embedded in Dalio’s framework: this would not be “stimulus into a depression” but “stimulus into a mania.” In his words, liquidity would “flood already overheated markets… stocks melt up, gold rips, and crypto… goes vertical,” with the usual risk-on sequence across the crypto complex. His caveat mirrors Dalio’s late-cycle caution: a liquidity melt-up now, then—on a longer horizon—re-acceleration in inflation, a forced policy reversal, and a violent bubble pop.

For Bitcoin, the near-term transmission is straightforward. Lower real yields and expanding liquidity historically coincide with stronger performance of long-duration, high-beta, and scarcity narratives; similar to 1999-style melt-ups and late-cycle surges in hard assets, including gold—and, by extension, BTC as a “digital gold” proxy.

But the medium-to-long-term tension is unresolved: if the same easing stokes renewed inflation pressure, the exit—the point at which policy must tighten into the bubble—becomes the regime break Dalio is flagging.

Dalio’s bottom line is not a trading signal but a regime warning. “Whether this becomes a full and classic stimulative QE (with big net purchases) remains to be seen,” he writes. If the Fed is indeed easing into a bubble, Bitcoin may benefit on the way up—but that path, by Dalio’s own schema, ends with impact.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $99,717.

In brief
Bitcoin miner American Bitcoin, backed by President Trump's sons, has bought more digital coins for its treasury.
The firm is now the 25th largest Bitcoin treasury.
American Bitcoin debuted on the Nasdaq in September and aims to be "the world's largest and most efficient Bitcoin miner."
American Bitcoin (ABTC), the Nasdaq traded Bitcoin treasury and mining company backed by Eric Trump and Donald Trump Jr., has brought its holdings to 4,004 BTC now worth about $415 million, the company announced on Friday. 

The firm said that between October 24 and November 5, ABTC had snapped up 139 Bitcoins now worth more than $14 million between October 24 and November 5. American Bitcoin is the 25th largest Bitcoin treasury, according to bitcointreasuries.net data. 

"We continue to expand our Bitcoin holdings rapidly and cost-effectively through a dual strategy that integrates scaled Bitcoin mining operations with disciplined at-market purchases," American Bitcoin co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer Eric Trump said. 

American Bitcoin stock was trading nearly 2% higher Friday afternoon in New York. The firm, which went public in September, had dipped earlier in the day.

Bitcoin was recently trading at about $103,369, up 3% over the past 24 hours, amid an upturn in wider crypto markets. But the digital asset is off about 18% since reaching an all-time high above $126,000 in early October. 

American Bitcoin formed when the Trump brothers merged their own business entity earlier this year with Hut 8, a Canada-headquartered miner. The joint venture then went on to combine with Gryphon Digital Mining via a stock-for-stock merger. Gryphon was already publicly traded.

American Bitcoin is one of more than 200 publicly traded companies—many outside the crypto industry—following the approach of Nasdaq-listed Strategy, which has accumulated the world's largest crypto treasury.

Strategy—formerly MicroStrategy—pivoted from software development to buying Bitcoin in August 2020 to generate better returns for its shareholders as its stock price floundered. It now holds more than 641,000 Bitcoin worth over $66 billion. 

In a Myriad prediction market, 95% of respondents do not expect Strategy to sell any of its BTC by the end of 2025. Myriad is a unit of Dastan, Decrypt's parent company.

Firms in the Bitcoin mining industry are typically warehouses full of expensive, specialized computing equipment that process transactions and mint new digital coins for the biggest and oldest crypto network.

The sector has been hard-hit as Bitcoin's price increase has slowed and as the challenges of mining have become more pronounced. Last year's Bitcoin halving reduced the mining rewards for verifying blockchain transactions from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC. 

A number of miners have shifted to high-powered computing for the AI space in order to generate income as mining has become less lucrative.

Did you know? Previous approvals of digital asset ETFs, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, facilitated substantial trading activity boosts and have generally correlated with short-term price increases.

According to CoinMarketCap, as of November 7, 2025, XRP’s price is $2.33 with a market cap of $140.26 billion. Despite a recent daily increase of 5.52%, its price has seen a 19.53% decline over the past 30 days. XRP holds a market dominance of 4.02%, with a 24-hour trading volume of $5.92 billion.

The Coincu research team suggests that the approval of the ETF may substantially boost XRP’s market position, underpin a sustained rise in demand, and magnify market dynamics akin to those seen following the introduction of other asset-based ETFs. Given past precedents, the regulatory approval could potentially stabilize XRP’s recent volatility.

Key Takeaways
Why is social sentiment about Chainlink high?
The increased tokenization of RWAs on LINK drove the social volume.

Can Securitize integration ignite reversal?
The integration of Securitize showed the institutional importance of Chainlink and could spark a reversal if the market structure aligned.

The crypto market was weak, and so was the price action of Chainlink [LINK] at the time of writing.

However, LINK was doing well on other fronts, like the social sentiment, growth of its reserve, and tokenization on the oracle platform.

Social Volume hits a three-year high
The social sentiment for Chainlink hit a three-year high as the price dipped to the lowest since the 4th of August of this year. This kind of positive Social Volume at 356 coincided with a Weighted Sentiment total of 3.307, at press time.

Despite this reading, some users believed it could be a trap for potential holders. For others, it might be the beginning of its next leg up.

Usually, positive Social Volume corresponds with price appreciation, but this was not the case. As a result, this produced a bullish divergence, which often marks reversal points.

During such periods, it indicates that informed money is accumulating while retailers watch on the sidelines. The scenario was promising since LINK price was trading below $15, a level that pushed it to $27.

Chainlink Reserve peaks amid rising tokenization
Institutions that were tokenizing on the oracle were increasingly attracted to Chainlink tokens. Securitize integrated Chainlink data standard for the pricing of funds used as collateral on Aave Horizon.

Aave Horizon, which is powered by Chainlink NAVLink, surpassed $450 million in deposits. This explained how Chainlink was powering TradFi and DeFi convergence.

As tokenization gained traction, the Chainlink Reserve account was growing too. The reserve added 78,250 LINK tokens valued at $1.1 million. This sum became the largest amount ever purchased by the reserves since their inception.

The additions were coming in a span of about a week. When writing, the reserve had grown to 729,338 LINK tokens worth $10.8 million, acquired at an average cost of $20.49.

While the altcoin was displaying positive market sentiments, the price was headed south. Can these developments ignite a reversal in price structure?

Potential LINK price reaction
On the charts, LINK had broken below a triangle pattern, reiterating its bearish outlook. In fact, the altcoin continued to drop, with the price trading at $14 after an attempted recovery back above $15.

However, the positives could be seen in the MACD and On Balance Volume (OBV). The MACD was in the green zone, and the volume stood at $48.24 million, as of writing, suggesting a slight buyer involvement.

For a bullish price reversal, LINK needed to rise above the broken zone at $16. Otherwise, price could drop to $11.60, June’s low that ignited the altcoin season trend in Chainlink.

In a significant turnaround for cryptocurrency investments, Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced notable inflows on Thursday, ending a six-day period of continuous outflows. Bitcoin ETFs attracted $240 million, while Ether ETFs garnered $13 million.
