Pi Network’s native cryptocurrency, Pi Coin, is getting major attention with a continued rally upwards, extending its weekly gains to more than 30%. This bullish action comes following the latest reports that the network has joined the ISO 20022 group, along with Ripple and Stellar. As a result, the bulls are once again attempting a breakout past $0.28, which will set the stage for a greater rally ahead.

Pi Coin Extends Weekly Gains to Over 30%
From the lows of $0.19 last week, the Pi Network token has staged significant gains and is currently trading up more than 30% on the weekly chart. With 15% upside in the last 24 hours, bulls are making yet another attempt to move past the $0.28 levels, where it faced earlier resistance.

Technical charts show that the Pi coin price has broken out of the consolidation zone, and has renewed bullish momentum after rebounding once again from the $0.23 support level. Thus, the breakout from this resistance signals a potential shift in market structure toward the upside.

Source: TradingView
Crypto analyst Devid James noted that the recent breakout suggests growing strength in the price floor, reinforcing bullish sentiment among traders. However, the $0.3626 level remains a critical resistance to watch. A rejection at this point could trigger a short-term pullback, potentially revisiting the $0.23 support area.

Pi Network Joins ISO 20022 Group
Pi Network has reportedly joined the ISO 20022 group, aligning itself with leading compliant digital assets such as XRP and Stellar (XLM). The move marks a major step toward integrating Pi with global banking and payment standards. The development surrounding this has activated the bulls and pushed Pi coin price even higher, supported by Pi tokens exiting the exchanges.

By adopting ISO 20022, Pi Network enhances its compatibility with traditional financial systems. Besides, it will potentially enable smoother cross-border transactions, improved interoperability, and greater institutional trust.

Global banks have increasingly transitioned to ISO 20022 to modernize their financial messaging frameworks. Thus, with digital assets aligning with the standard, they are expected to gain a competitive edge in regulatory adoption and institutional use cases.

Furthermore, in Q4 2025, the Protocol 23 upgrade will be coming to the Pi Network mainnet while addressing the issues of scalability and transaction efficiency.

Additionally, more than 3.36 million additional Pioneers have successfully completed full KYC verification following the rollout of a new system process. The update enabled further review of 4.76 million Tentative KYC cases, allowing those users to qualify for full KYC completion.

Traders should watch for XRP to maintain support around $2.60-$2.63, as a sustained rise above $2.65 could shift the bias bullish.Updated Oct 29, 2025, 5:24 a.m. Published Oct 29, 2025, 5:24 a.m.

(CoinDesk Data)

What to know: XRP rose 0.60% to $2.623 as trading volume increased by 47% above its seven-day average, signaling heightened institutional interest.Despite bullish patterns, XRP faces resistance near $2.68, with momentum indicators suggesting possible short-term consolidation.Traders should watch for XRP to maintain support around $2.60-$2.63, as a sustained rise above $2.65 could shift the bias bullish.XRP advanced modestly as trading activity spiked, though momentum indicators warn of near-term consolidation risk.

News BackgroundXRP climbed 0.60% to $2.623 while trading volume surged about 47% above its seven-day average, indicating increased institutional interest amid a lack of strong breakout catalysts. The token still faces resistance from a rejection near $2.68 and multiple analysts caution that while bullish chart patterns exist, the recent momentum may be capped.Price Action SummaryOver the session, XRP traded in an $0.11 range, oscillating between ~$2.64 and ~$2.62. A peak volume of ~167.3 million tokens (≈140% above the 24-hour average) was recorded during the failed breakout near $2.68 resistance. The $2.60 psychological support level held firm through several tests. This price action reflects controlled accumulation rather than a full breakout run.Technical AnalysisThe breakout attempt above $2.68 was rejected, confirming that resistance remains stiff. The support zone at ~$2.60 has demonstrated resilience, yet momentum indicators—such as the TD Sequential—have triggered caution signals. Chart structure shows consolidation between $2.60 and $2.67, which may form the base of a future move but also warns of possible short-term pause. Volume surge validates interest but the lack of a clean breakout suggests the move is still in setup mode.What Traders Should KnowTraders should monitor whether XRP can hold the support band around $2.60-$2.63. A sustained close above $2.65 coupled with renewed volume would tilt the bias bullish and open targets near $2.70-$2.90. Conversely, a break below ~$2.60 would expose a retest of ~$2.55 or lower.The upcoming ETF decision window and institutional inflows remain key catalysts to watch.More For You

The company's X post on the history of Bitcoin junk data came before a recent software upgrade that many say has opened the floodgates to spam.

Official Trump Coin (TRUMP) is back in the spotlight, jumping nearly 10% in a single day to trade around $7.53, defying the overall crypto market drop. The sudden surge shows how politically themed tokens can attract attention when big investors and technical signals align at the right time.

Here’s what happened and why it’s surging today!

Whale Buying & Shrinking Exchange BalancesOne major reason behind the price spike is a wave of whale accumulation. Large investors have been quietly buying TRUMP over the past few weeks, increasing their holdings from 3.97 million to 4.88 million tokens. This steady accumulation often signals growing confidence that the token could climb higher in the near term.

At the same time, coins sitting on exchanges have dropped. Fewer coins on exchanges often imply a less ready supply and hint at stronger buyer conviction

Boost from Trump Media and ETF HopesInvestor excitement grew even stronger after a New York Stock Exchange division filed to list a spot Bitcoin ETF tied to Donald Trump’s Truth Social platform. This connection between Trump Media and crypto markets boosted optimism around all Trump-linked digital assets.

Adding to the momentum, World Liberty Financial announced its USD1 stablecoin will integrate with the Enso blockchain, strengthening the ecosystem linked to TRUMP.

Trump Token Price OutlookFrom a technical perspective, TRUMP has broken key resistance levels, flipping short-term charts bullish. The price now hovers near the upper boundary of its falling wedge pattern, a structure that often signals a trend reversal.

If the token holds above its current support and breaks out decisively, analysts believe TRUMP could rally toward $13 to $19 in the coming months, turning today’s rebound into the start of a larger bullish phase.

U.S. President Donald Trump plans to discuss Nvidia's advanced AI chips with Chinese President Xi Jinping during their widely expected meeting on Thursday, he told a media scrum Wednesday. 

While taking questions regarding his high-stakes meeting with Xi, Trump signaled that Nvidia's Blackwell AI processors could be discussed. 

"We'll be speaking about Blackwell, it's the super duper chip," he said. Nvidia's "super duper chip" appeared to refer to the GB200 Grace Blackwell Superchip — its most advanced AI chip.

More broadly, Nvidia's Blackwell architecture represents its latest generation of AI chips, or 'graphics processing units,' used to train and run large language models.

Trump went on to laud Nvidia's Blackwell chips, claiming that they are about a decade ahead of any other chip.

"That's our country. We're about 10 years ahead of anybody else in chips — in the highly sophisticated chips. I think we may be talking about that with President Xi." 

The comments come as Nvidia faces an uncertain future in China, once a lucrative market for the AI darling.

While export controls have long prevented Nvidia from selling its most advanced AI products to China, Washington had rolled back restrictions on the chipmaker's less advanced, made-for-China H20 chips in July. 

Trump later indicated that he might also allow a downgraded version of Nvidia's Blackwell chips into China.

But in a surprise move, Beijing recently stepped in to prevent its companies from importing Nvidia's chips. Earlier this month, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said the company is currently "100% out of China" and has no market share there. 

However, many experts speculate that Beijing could be using Nvidia's access to its market as leverage in its trade negotiations with the Trump administration.

WHEATON, Ill., Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- What makes Wheaton, IL, such a desirable place to live beyond its well-known downtown district? According to a HelloNation article, real estate expert Lance Kammes of The Lance Kammes Team explains that Wheaton’s lifestyle extends far beyond its central hub. The town’s charm lies not only in its downtown attractions but also in the rich network of green space, Wheaton neighborhoods, and recreational amenities that make the entire community livable in every direction.

The article begins by acknowledging that downtown Wheaton often captures the spotlight. Its restaurants, boutiques, and seasonal events make it a lively centerpiece of local culture. Yet, Kammes emphasizes that the broader community defines Wheaton’s appeal. Just a few minutes from downtown, residents find natural areas, trails, and parklands that shape a relaxed and active lifestyle year-round.

One of the town’s defining features is its accessibility to nature. The Illinois Prairie Path, which runs directly through Wheaton, offers miles of scenic routes for walking, running, or cycling. Nearby forest preserves such as Herrick Lake and Danada provide opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and cross-country skiing. These outdoor spaces contribute to a balanced lifestyle, where recreation is always close to home.

The HelloNation article highlights that Wheaton neighborhoods are thoughtfully designed to integrate both community and calm. Quiet cul-de-sacs, tree-lined avenues, and family-friendly playgrounds are common throughout town. Golf courses and public parks blend seamlessly into residential areas, ensuring that green space is never far away. Kammes explains that this design encourages daily interaction with nature, fostering a sense of well-being and connection among residents.

Beyond its recreational amenities, Wheaton’s overall layout creates a natural rhythm of life. Busy streets near schools, train stations, and local businesses gradually give way to quiet, residential enclaves. This balance allows residents to enjoy the vibrancy of civic life and retreat into peaceful surroundings within minutes. The ease of transition between activity and relaxation is a defining part of the Wheaton lifestyle.

Kammes points out that Wheaton’s appeal extends well beyond its geography. It is a community that values both engagement and tranquility. The energy of downtown complements the town’s suburban comfort, creating a complete living experience. This diversity of pace and setting helps Wheaton stand apart from neighboring towns that may center their identity on a single district or attraction.

The article also notes that Wheaton’s green space and recreational amenities strengthen its sense of community. Parks host local sports leagues, neighborhood picnics, and family gatherings throughout the year. Trails connect residents to multiple parts of town, encouraging outdoor activity and social interaction. These features make Wheaton a place where outdoor living is not limited to weekends but woven into everyday life.

For those considering a move, Kammes suggests looking beyond downtown to appreciate Wheaton as a whole. Each neighborhood offers something distinct, from proximity to schools and parks to access to trails and preserved natural areas. Whether residents value an active lifestyle or a quiet retreat, they can find both within the same community.

The HelloNation feature concludes that Wheaton’s true strength lies in its range. The town does not rely solely on its downtown charm but spreads its appeal across a balance of recreation, education, and connectivity. Kammes notes that this harmony makes Wheaton not only an attractive real estate market but also a genuinely fulfilling place to live. The result is a community that thrives equally in its center and its surrounding neighborhoods.

The article, Wheaton’s Lifestyle Goes Beyond Downtown, features insights from Lance Kammes of The Lance Kammes Team, in HelloNation.

Binance delisting FLM, KDA, PERP on November 12, 2025.No direct statements from affected projects’ leaders.Potential market impact on liquidity and trading volume.
Binance will delist Flamingo (FLM), Kadena (KDA), and Perpetual Protocol (PERP) on November 12, 2025, at 11:00 AM (UTC+8), ending trading on its platform.

This decision highlights Binance’s ongoing adjustments to its trading offerings, impacting token liquidity and possibly shifting trading activity towards decentralized exchanges.

Binance Delists Three Cryptos Amid Compliance Concerns
Binance has announced the delisting of Flamingo, Kadena, and Perpetual Protocol. The cessation of trading for these cryptocurrencies is scheduled to occur on November 12, 2025, in line with compliance and liquidity standards. Flamingo operates on Neo, Kadena is recognized as a Layer 1 asset and Perpetual Protocol is involved in decentralized perpetual contract offerings.

The delisting may impact liquidity and trading opportunities for these tokens, potentially influencing their market standing. Neither Binance nor these projects have issued detailed explanations or responses on their respective social platforms at this time, though reduced liquidity and potential shifts in trading patterns are likely.

Historical Delisting Patterns and Market Reactions
Did you know? Binance’s past delistings, such as BAKE, witnessed volatile price actions, with BAKE surging 170% post-announcement, revealing the unpredictable market responses possible following delisting events.

According to CoinMarketCap, as of October 29, 2025, Flamingo’s market cap reached approximately $11.78 million, with a circulating supply of 559,126,360 tokens. The cryptocurrency recorded a 5.35% 24-hour price increase, yet showed a decline of 27.22% over the last 60 days, highlighting mixed market sentiment amid the delisting news.

Insights from the Coincu research team indicate that delistings from major exchanges may drive migration to decentralized exchanges, influencing liquidity strategies. Historical patterns suggest delisted tokens often face reduced centralized trading activity, urging developers to explore decentralized avenues.

Binance delists Flamingo, Kadena, and Perpetual Protocol on November 12, 2025.Users must close orders to avoid losses.Market responses show sharp asset price declines.
Binance is set to delist Flamingo, Kadena, and Perpetual Protocol from its platform on November 12, 2025, impacting users trading these cryptocurrencies globally.

The delisting arises from Kadena’s shutdown, affecting market dynamics and liquidity for related trading pairs, prompting users to manage assets promptly to mitigate potential losses.

Delisting of FLM, KDA, and PERP: Key Impacts and Reactions
Users are urged to manage affected assets or withdraw them to avoid potential losses. With spot trading pairs being removed, Binance’s actions align with its delisting guide and updates on cryptocurrencies. Kadena’s business cessation, stated in an official quote, is essential here:

Community reactions have been swift, with discussions appearing on social media platforms expressing concerns over asset management and withdrawals. Notable figures such as Changpeng Zhao have yet to comment officially. With Kadena experiencing abrupt operational collapse, market sentiments reflect these sudden shifts.

“The Kadena organization will immediately cease all commercial activities and active maintenance of the Kadena blockchain.” — Kadena Foundation, Official Statement
Price Data and Historical Analysis: Understanding Market Dynamics
Did you know? Kadena’s shutdown aligns with past instances such as SushiSwap’s delisting, reflecting typical trends where price crashes and liquidity evaporates.

Recent data from CoinMarketCap reports Flamingo’s current price at $0.03, with a market cap of $15.71 million and circulating supply at 559,162,983. Over the past 24 hours, trading volume surged 752.32%, while the price increased 40.06%, showcasing a substantial market reaction.

Based on analysis from Coincu Research, the delisting of these assets might alter liquidity dynamics significantly. Patterns suggest diminished interest in these projects could contribute to a decline in market depth and available liquidity for corresponding trading pairs amidst regulatory and technological challenges.

The first-ever spot ETFs for Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR) began trading on Wall Street yesterday, marking a big moment for altcoins. But as these products go live, many investors are asking one question: when will XRP ETFs arrive?

Ripple’s latest State of the XRP Ledger – Q3 2025 report may have provided the first concrete timeline.

Seven U.S. Spot XRP ETF Applications PendingAccording to the report, seven U.S. spot XRP ETF filings are currently under review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The agency is expected to make decisions between October 18 and November 14, following its September approval of new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs.

Market data platform Polymarket now shows a greater than 99% probability that the SEC will approve a spot XRP ETF by the end of 2025. That level of confidence suggests strong institutional expectation that XRP will soon follow Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in joining the U.S. ETF market.

Futures Listing Clears an Important Regulatory PathRipple’s report points out that XRP has now met a key regulatory condition for ETF approval. The SEC’s updated listing framework requires a minimum of six months of regulated futures trading before any spot crypto ETF can be listed.

XRP futures began trading on Coinbase Derivatives Exchange on April 21, 2025, and later on the CME Group on May 18, 2025. Based on this timeline, XRP completes its six-month futures requirement by late November, allowing for potential SEC approval and a U.S. spot XRP ETF launch by the end of 2025.

Global Launches Strengthen XRP’s CaseWhile the U.S. review continues, international markets have already moved ahead. Three spot XRP ETFs launched in Canada in June 2025, while Hashdex introduced the world’s first XRP spot ETF in Brazil in April. 

These developments add pressure on U.S. regulators to follow suit, especially now that ETFs for Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera are trading actively on Wall Street.

Ripple-SEC Case Officially ClosedThe legal uncertainty around XRP has also been resolved. On August 7, Ripple and the SEC jointly dropped their appeals in the Second Circuit Court. This confirmed Judge Analisa Torres’ July 2023 ruling as the final judgment in the case.

That ruling stated that Ripple’s programmatic sales of XRP on retail exchanges did not violate securities laws, though institutional sales did. Ripple agreed to pay a $125 million civil fine to close the matter.

With the case now legally settled, Ripple says the company is “well-positioned to support regulated financial products built on XRP,” hinting that ETF approval may only be a matter of time.

Ethereum’s Fusaka update has debuted on Hoodi, its final testnet, before it's slated to bring several security and scalability improvements to the blockchain’s mainnet.

53

Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Fusaka, is now live on the blockchain’s final testnet, Hoodi, setting the stage for its Dec. 3 mainnet launch that is slated to add several scalability and security improvements to the network.

“Another smooth upgrade, another key milestone on the road to Fusaka,” Nethermind said in a post to X on Tuesday after its widely used validator client completed the fork.

Fusaka will add several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), such as Peer Data Availability Sampling, or PeerDAS, via EIP-7594, enabling validators to read smaller pieces of data on layer 2 networks as opposed to full blobs, boosting node efficiency.

EIP-7825 and EIP-7935 are also included in the update, which aim to raise the gas limit and improve efficiency as Ethereum prepares to unlock parallel execution, the processing of multiple smart contracts at the same time. Other EIPs in the update focus on improving zero-knowledge rollups.

Source: Nethermind
The technical milestone comes amid a major leadership shake-up at the Ethereum Foundation in recent months, with several key contributors departing and criticizing the direction in which the foundation is steering the network.

Meanwhile, Ether (ETH) has hit an all-time high this year on the back of rising inflows into exchange-traded funds and increased corporate treasury adoption of the token.

Fusaka a three-part processExecution of Fusaka will occur across three stages: first, the actual mainnet launch; second, the EIP implementing the blob capacity increase will be activated; and third, the second blob capacity hard fork will take effect.

Once Fusaka is implemented, attention will turn to the Glamsterdam upgrade, which is also part of the “Surge” stage of the Ethereum technical roadmap focused on making it more scalable.

Source: Consensys
Fusaka aims to fine-tune weak point in blockchain trilemmaThe upgrade is looking to improve Ethereum’s scalability, one third of the so-called “blockchain trilemma” coined by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin that also includes decentralization and security.

Ethereum was designed to prioritize decentralization and security over scalability and several rival layer 1 blockchains, including Solana and Sui, have focused on scalability to offer faster transactions to compete with Ethereum.

The Fusaka hard fork comes around six months after Ethereum’s last major upgrade, Pectra, which focused on staking performance and wallet features for improved user interface and user experience.

The Dogecoin price is fighting to hold the psychological $0.20 support as large investors continue offloading holdings and leveraged traders exit the market. The Dogecoin price briefly traded above $0.21 earlier this week, but has since slipped by more than 2%, highlighting the mounting selling pressure in the market.

According to on-chain data, whales have sold over 500 million DOGE tokens in the past week, fueling fears of further downside. The selloff coincides with a sharp 61% drop in futures open interest, plunging from $5.03 billion to $1.95 billion, signaling widespread position liquidations and trader fatigue.

Futures Liquidations and Weak Technicals Weigh on Momentum
Derivatives data show declining participation across major exchanges, with traders closing out long positions rather than adding new exposure. Meanwhile, Dogecoin’s 24-hour trading volume surged 17.5% to nearly $2 billion, a sign that sellers remain in control even as overall market recovery stalls.

Technical indicators paint a similarly cautious picture. On the daily chart, the Dogecoin price is forming a potential “death cross” between the 50-day and 200-day exponential moving averages, a bearish pattern that often precedes a further drop.

If sustained selling continues, analysts warn the Dogecoin price could fall toward the $0.166 support, which aligns with the lower boundary of its long-term ascending trendline.

However, this same trendline has historically triggered strong rebounds. Previous retests have led to price recoveries of nearly 100%, leaving some traders optimistic that a similar setup could emerge if support holds firm.

Consolidation or Collapse? Key Dogecoin Price Levels to Watch
Currently, Dogecoin price hovers near $0.20 with a market cap of $30.3 billion, holding above the critical psychological zone but struggling to regain upward momentum. The immediate resistance lies between $0.204 and $0.210, while a decisive close below $0.19 could accelerate losses toward $0.18–$0.166.

For now, the balance between whale distribution and new buyer demand will determine DOGE’s next move. If fresh inflows return and futures activity stabilizes, a recovery toward $0.23–$0.25 remains possible.

But without renewed conviction from large holders, the Dogecoin price risks extended consolidation, or a deeper retracement before the next bullish wave begins.

Key Takeaways 
Why is retail dominance rising in Bitcoin?
Smaller order sizes and red Futures Taker CVD confirmed that retail traders were driving market activity.

How could this affect BTC’s next move?
With whale activity low and inflows up, Bitcoin may stay range-bound between $111k–$115k.

Bitcoin [BTC] extended its rebound, reaching a two-week high of $116,400 before retracing to $114,472 at press time.

Despite the rally, data suggested that institutional investors and whales stepped back from active trading.

Bitcoin retail traders take control
According to CryptoQuant, after BTC recovered from the $108k–$109k demand zone, Futures AverageOrder Size showed a decline in whale participation.

The market instead saw an increase in smaller, retail-driven orders. Usually, when this metric shows red with no green clusters, it indicates a total dominance in retail activity.

This market behavior is common during mid-range consolidation or the later phases of local recovery.

Historically, periods of retail dominance have mostly coincided with short-term distribution, as whales wait to reaccumulate at lower levels. 

In fact, retail investors leading the Futures market were mostly sellers. The Futures Taker CVD remained red, confirming seller dominance and aligning with smaller order activity.

Source: CryptoQuant

This has coincided with the period of increased retail-driven orders in the Futures market. Futures Netflow further evidences this market trend. 

As per CoinGlass data, Futures Netflow dropped 135%, to -$334.6 million at press time, with outflow hiking to $14 billion.

A negative Netflow suggested most investors in the Futures were actively closing positions, a clear bearish sign.

Spot mirrors the same trend
The Spot Taker CVD chart also stayed red for seven consecutive days, highlighting persistent selling pressure from retail traders.

Source: CryptoQuant

At the same time, Exchange Netflow was positive for four of the last six days, with inflows around $42 million, signaling increased deposits to exchanges—usually a precursor to selling activity.

Source: CoinGlass

What’s next for BTC?
AMBCrypto’s analysis showed that retail traders now dominate both Futures and Spot markets. Whales have largely withdrawn, waiting to buy at lower levels.

When retail activity peaks, BTC often trades sideways within a defined range as professionals remain cautious.

If this retail-driven volatility continues, BTC could stay between $111k–$115k. A breakout within that band, driven by renewed large-order flows, would indicate institutional accumulation.

Like the 2024 whale-led rally, fresh institutional entry could lift BTC toward $119,717, the next key resistance.
