Jefferies reports Tether held about 116 metric tonnes of physical gold at the end of Q3 2025, making it the largest non-sovereign gold holder. The firm added roughly 26 tonnes in Q3 alone — around 2% of quarterly global gold demand and more than 12% of central bank purchases that period — tightening near-term bullion supply. Tether’s gold backs its tokenized gold product (XAUt) and strengthens USDT’s balance sheet; XAUt supply roughly doubled over six months as Tether bought an estimated 275,000 ounces (~$1.1bn) of bullion since August. Price data noted spot gold trading near $4,150/oz with intraday volatility. Beyond bullion accumulation, Tether has deployed over $300m into mining royalties and streaming companies (including a reported 32% stake in Elemental Altus Royalties), hired former metals traders, and is building an early-stage vertically integrated metals strategy spanning mining, refining, trading and royalty exposure. Jefferies projects Tether could acquire another ~100 tonnes in 2025, funded by strong USDT profit margins (projected near $15bn this year). Analysts warn that sustained Tether demand can tighten supply, lift gold prices, boost interest in tokenized bullion (XAUt), and affect liquidity dynamics around USDT operations. For crypto traders: watch potential upward pressure on gold and correlated safe-haven assets, flows into tokenized gold, and any market liquidity or redemption impacts tied to large-scale reserve management in USDT.

Luca Paolini, strategist at Pictet Asset Management, forecasts a weaker US dollar driven by future Federal Reserve rate cuts as the US economy cools and inflation recedes. Paolini expects a narrowing US interest‑rate differential versus Europe and Japan and projects the Dollar Index (DXY) could fall to about 95 by end‑2026. He argues that firmer growth in Europe and Japan and clearer expectations for easing US policy will reduce the dollar’s valuation. For crypto markets, Paolini’s scenario implies more accommodative liquidity and a softer dollar that could support risk assets including Bitcoin and altcoins. Traders should monitor shifts in interest‑rate differentials, DXY movements, and macro data on US growth and inflation, as these factors could drive cross‑asset flows, liquidity conditions, and hedging strategies. Key names and figures: Luca Paolini (Pictet Asset Management), projected DXY ≈ 95 by 2026. Primary keywords: dollar weakness, Fed rate cuts, Dollar Index, crypto market liquidity, Bitcoin. Secondary keywords: interest‑rate differential, US inflation, cross‑asset flows, hedging.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) told traders to focus on development rather than short-term price targets after BNB fell about 30% from the $1,200 region into the high-$800s. Recent price action showed buyers around $830 pushing BNB back to the upper-$800s but failing to establish a strong breakout or floor. CZ emphasized that short-term price movements are unpredictable and that long-term value depends on real products, usage and continued building. Technically, BNB’s weekly chart remains constructive, but the daily structure is inconsistent. Key near-term levels: holding $850–$880 could enable a push toward $930 and a retest of $1,000; a break below $830 risks a slide to the mid-$700s. The piece highlights trader impatience for quick pumps and positions CZ’s message as a reality check for market participants.

Bitcoin (BTC) rose ~3.5% in 24 hours and is trading around $90,800–$91,000. On the hourly chart BTC sits mid-channel between support at $90,091 and resistance at $91,871. Market indecision on the shorter time frame suggests low odds of sharp moves in the next day. Daily candle closure is the key longer-term signal: if it closes far from its peak, sellers could gain momentum and push BTC toward the $89,000–$90,000 zone. Midterm, neither buyers nor sellers control price; the nearest crucial area is $90,000 — a loss of that level could open a decline toward $80,000. Traders should monitor intraday channel limits, daily candle close, and the $90,000 support for trade triggers.

Since October 6, Binance has seen roughly 300 million XRP withdrawn, cutting its on‑exchange XRP reserves to about 2.7 billion tokens — one of the lowest levels on record. On‑chain analysts flagged these outflows on November 27 and interpret much of the movement as holders withdrawing to long‑term custody, reducing exchange liquidity. Exchange‑held XRP as a share of total supply has fallen to this year’s low. Price action is mixed: XRP trades near $2.19 (up ~3.5% over seven days but down ~12% over two weeks and ~17% month‑on‑month). Offsetting signals include a drop in Binance XRP futures open interest to a one‑year low and reported whale sales exceeding 180 million XRP after mid‑November spot XRP ETF launches. Technical analysts identify $2.00 as a key support — holding it would maintain bullish structure; breaking it could open further downside. For traders the core implications are: 1) reduced immediate sell liquidity on exchanges (potentially bullish if demand re‑emerges, especially from institutional ETF flows); 2) continued large‑holder selling and lower futures activity that can mute fast rallies; and 3) increased event risk around ETF inflows and further exchange withdrawals that could amplify price moves. This presents a cautiously bullish medium‑term outlook for XRP but with notable short‑term risks from whale sales and weakened derivatives-driven volatility.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted a Thanksgiving message thanking builders and users for advancing the crypto industry, saying their efforts are bringing the world closer to “economic freedom.” The brief tweet coincided with commentary from Coinbase Ventures forecasting 2026 trends: growth in synthetic markets via RWA perpetuals, new pro-grade on-chain UX and exchange models, composable DeFi markets, and crypto as a coordination layer for AI-driven real-world systems. The article also notes Coinbase operational updates: a major systems upgrade scheduled for Dec. 17, the listing of Aster perpetual futures on Coinbase International, and ongoing or extended trading suspensions for certain tokens (Muse Dao MUSE, Wrapped Centrifuge WCFG; Clover Finance CLV, EOS, League of Kingdoms Arena LOKA). Context: 2025 saw legislative developments such as the Genius Act and discussion around the CLARITY Act. Primary keywords: Coinbase, Brian Armstrong, economic freedom, Thanksgiving, crypto. Secondary/semantic keywords: Coinbase Ventures, RWA perpetuals, synthetic markets, DeFi composability, AI and crypto, platform upgrade, token delistings. This short item is chiefly a CEO message with forward-looking commentary from Coinbase Ventures and routine exchange notices relevant to traders monitoring listings, suspensions and platform maintenance.

Bitcoin (BTC) held $90,000 as support during the US Thanksgiving period and staged a rebound toward weekly highs near $92,000. Traders and analysts cited a crucial resistance around the 2025 yearly open above $93,000 — a break above which could reopen a path to $100,000. On-chain and market-data contributors highlighted an upside liquidity pocket at $97,000–$98,000 formed after a recent sustained sell-off, marking a likely intermediate target. Futures and spot signals point to a reduction in leveraged retail activity: CryptoQuant indicators show taker cumulative volume delta moving from negative toward neutral and a futures retail indicator flipping green, suggesting the leveraged phase may be ending and longer-term capital is returning. Analysts named include Michaël van de Poppe, Daan Crypto Trades and CryptoQuant contributors (Maartunn, XWIN Research Japan). The article frames these shifts — consolidation around $90K, liquidity at ~$97K, and futures deleveraging — as reasons Bitcoin bulls can again consider six-figure targets, while noting trade risks remain and investors should conduct their own research.

Bitcoin whales have shifted from net sellers to net buyers for the first time since August, with institutional holders (10,000+ BTC) showing an Accumulation Trend Score of 0.8 — a strong buying signal. Multiple whale cohorts are accumulating: 10,000+ BTC holders (strongest accumulation since August), 1,000–10,000 BTC holders (first accumulation since September) and 100–1,000 BTC holders (consistent buying since October). Retail addresses holding <1 BTC are also recording their strongest accumulation since July. Analysts attribute the trend to improving macro conditions, clearer regulation in some regions and Bitcoin’s fundamentals. Implications for traders: coordinated accumulation by large and small holders can reduce selling pressure and precede price appreciation, but it is not a guarantee — market conditions and other factors still matter. Key metrics and takeaways for traders: Accumulation Trend Score ~0.8 for 10,000+ BTC holders; synchronized buying across whale tiers; retail accumulation rising. Actionable considerations: watch on-chain flows and exchange inflows/outflows, monitor macro/regulatory news, set risk controls since whale activity can signal momentum but not immediate direction.

The Royal Government of Bhutan staked 320 ETH (≈$970,820) to the Ethereum staking contract on Nov 27, 2025 via institutional provider Figment.io. On-chain intelligence from Arkham and Onchain Lens links the transfer to wallets managed by state investor Druk Holding and Investments; the transaction executed at 10:30:35 UTC and activated 10 validators (32 ETH each). After the move, on-chain holdings show roughly 336 ETH (≈$1.01m) remaining, while Bitcoin remains the largest holding at 6,154 BTC (≈$560.3m). This marks Bhutan’s largest Ethereum operation in months and follows earlier on-chain activity, including a May transfer of 570 ETH to a Binance hot wallet. The staking aligns with government plans to designate BTC, ETH and BNB as strategic reserve assets for Gelephu Mindfulness City and to migrate the national digital ID system from Polygon to Ethereum by early 2026. For traders: sovereign staking increases institutional on-chain staking demand for ETH, the transaction’s transparency allows monitoring of further moves, and Bhutan’s continued accumulation and infrastructure rollout create a steady source of fundamental demand. Short-term price reaction is likely limited; longer-term, recurring sovereign or institutional staking and reserve allocations add persistent bid pressure for ETH.

UK Chancellor Jeremy Hunt (note: article references Chancellor Rishi Sunak’s successor — actually Chancellor Rachel Reeves? — article names ’Reeves’) — the Autumn Statement released Nov 27 — did not introduce new taxes targeting cryptocurrencies or further raise capital gains tax rates beyond last year’s changes. Gemini UK compliance head Azariah Nukajam welcomed the absence of new crypto-specific taxes, saying it treats crypto like other asset classes and supports its long-term viability as an alternative investment. However, Nukajam and the article note that recent UK legislative and regulatory moves (including draft statutory instruments aimed at crypto firms) signal tighter, more TradFi-like regulation and enhanced tax transparency requirements will continue to be implemented. No new fiscal measures against crypto were announced, but enforcement and regulatory alignment with traditional finance are expected to increase. The piece frames the development as neutral for investors in the near term (no fresh tax burden) but potentially material for market structure and compliance costs going forward.

Bitcoin reclaimed the $90,000 level during thin pre-Thanksgiving trading, rising about 4% in 24 hours to roughly $90,785 and recovering approximately 12% from last week’s low near $80,000. Despite the bounce, BTC is still down 4% for the week, 21% for the month and about 28% below its all-time high of $126,000. Options flow shows traders selling calls and strangles concentrated around the $85,000–$90,000 range, indicating expectations of a range-bound market and limited major moves during the holiday. Historical context: the Wednesday before Thanksgiving has often been weak for Bitcoin (declines in six of the past seven years), though 2024’s Thanksgiving hit a record $95,737. Media sentiment remains mixed with continued sceptical coverage from outlets like the Financial Times. Key takeaways for traders: low holiday volumes can amplify moves but current options positioning signals limited directional conviction; watch volume, open interest and option skew for confirmation before trading breakouts.

Solana spot ETFs recorded a combined net outflow of $8.1 million, breaking a multi-week inflow streak. The decline was driven by 21Shares’ TSOL, which posted $34.37 million in single-day withdrawals and now shows cumulative net outflows of about $26 million with assets near $86 million. Other Solana products partially offset the move: Bitwise’s staking-focused BSOL added roughly $13.33 million (bringing cumulative inflows above $527 million), Grayscale’s GSOL gained about $10.42 million (cumulative ~$73.5 million), and Fidelity’s FSOL added around $2.5 million. Collectively, Solana ETFs hold roughly 6.83 million SOL, valued at about $918–964 million across reports. Despite ETF outflows, SOL price held up near $141 (up ~3.5% on the day), with a market cap near $79 billion and circulating supply around 560 million. Technical analysts flagged possible short-term downside if buy volume fades (key supports: $138, $128, $120), while on-chain activity, prior sustained ETF inflows, and an inflation-reduction proposal were cited as longer-term supportive factors. Key trader takeaways: $8.1M total ETF outflow, TSOL -$34.37M, BSOL +$13.33M, GSOL +$10.42M, FSOL +$2.5M, ETFs hold ~6.83M SOL, SOL ≈ $141 — monitor ETF flows and buy volume for short-term risk, and on-chain metrics for medium/long-term conviction.

Spot Solana ETFs, which launched recently, recorded their first single-day decline since inception as market participants adjusted positions following initial inflows. The pullback coincided with modest selling pressure in SOL and short-term profit-taking by early ETF investors. Trading volumes for the ETFs and underlying SOL remained elevated compared with pre-ETF levels, but net flows showed a slowdown versus prior days. Analysts attribute the red day to routine rebalancing, liquidity rotation into other crypto products, and some investors locking gains after rapid early appreciation. No regulatory shock or fundamental network issue was reported; movements appear driven by market structure and investor behaviour around the new spot ETF product. Key takeaways for traders: expect heightened volatility and wider spreads in SOL and its ETFs in the near term, monitor ETF inflows/outflows and Solana orderbook depth for liquidity cues, and consider shorter timeframes or hedges to manage risk during this adjustment phase.

Ethereum increased its block gas limit from 45 million to 60 million on November 25 after approval from a majority of validators. The protocol change — enabled by EIP-7623, client optimizations (Geth, Nethermind, Besu, etc.), and extended testnet trials — boosts base-layer transaction capacity, reducing peak congestion and giving rollups more headroom. Vitalik Buterin emphasized this is part of targeted scaling: larger effective blocks combined with higher gas costs for specific heavy operations rather than blind block growth. The upgrade coincides with record rollup throughput — the combined rollup ecosystem reportedly processed ~31,000 TPS in 24 hours, led by Lighter (~5,455 TPS) and contributions from Base. The change comes days before the Fusaka hard fork (targeted Dec 3), which introduces PeerDAS for improved data availability sampling and other client and consensus refinements aimed at smoothing L2 block publication. For traders, the move signals increased base-layer capacity and coordinated infrastructure readiness for rollup-driven growth, with implications for fee dynamics, throughput-related liquidity flows, and risk assumptions around network stability.

Crypto trader James Wynn — known for previously losing $100M in realized profits — posted on X that Bitcoin (BTC) could crash to $67,000 by the end of the week or over the weekend. Wynn cited that zone as having meaningful support and buy pressure. His prediction follows a prior accurate call when BTC fell below $100,000; last month he also forecast a 32% drop to around $77,000 after a 650% rally. At the time of reporting, BTC had recently rebounded from lows near $81,000, reclaimed the $90,000 psychological level and was trading around $91,200 amid optimism about a Federal Reserve rate cut and the end of quantitative tightening (QT) on Dec. 1. Other analysts noted mixed views: BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested $80,000 might be the bottom due to improving liquidity, while analyst “Colin” projected a relief rally to $100,000–$115,000 but warned of a possible further bear-market capitulation. Key points for traders: watch BTC price action near $67k, $80k and $100k; monitor macro cues (Fed policy, liquidity, SPX moves); expect short-term volatility as market participants weigh relief rallies against potential deeper retracements.

Large Bitcoin holders (whales) have resumed net buying for the first time since August as BTC price recovers above $90,000. On-chain metrics show increased accumulation among addresses controlling sizeable BTC balances, reversing a multi-month trend of distribution. Traders note rising demand from institutional and high-net-worth wallets coinciding with improved market sentiment and price support near the $90K level. Key signals include a pickup in whale inflows to exchanges and replenished long-term holder reserves, suggesting renewed conviction rather than short-term speculation. Market observers warn that while whale buying can provide upward price pressure, volatility remains possible given recent sharp moves and macroeconomic factors. For traders, the development implies potential bullish momentum in the near term, with watchpoints at support around $90K and resistance near recent highs; risk management and position sizing remain important amid possible pullbacks.

Tron founder Justin Sun has reiterated allegations of fraud against Hong Kong-based custodian First Digital Trust (FDT), calling on Hong Kong regulators to launch investigations. Sun repeated claims that FDT mishandled or misappropriated client assets, urging action to protect investors and the crypto ecosystem’s integrity. He publicly pressed Hong Kong authorities for transparency and enforcement, citing concerns about custodian reliability. The dispute highlights growing scrutiny of custodial services amid broader regulatory focus on crypto custody and exchange oversight. No official enforcement action by Hong Kong regulators was confirmed at the time of reporting. The renewed accusations may raise counterparty risk perceptions for traders and institutions using custodians in the region.

This combined roundup ranks the top USDT (Tether) casinos for 2025, emphasising fast USDT deposits/withdrawals, game variety, licensing and bonus value. The latest coverage narrows the field to five leading platforms while reaffirming USDT’s advantages—price stability versus BTC, low TRC20 fees and near-instant settlement—making Tether the preferred bankroll vehicle during crypto volatility. Featured sites: JACKBIT (Curaçao-licensed, 6,600+ games, up to 30% rakeback, instant USDT deposits and sub-10-minute withdrawals); BetWhale (Malta-registered, up to 250% welcome bonus up to $2,500, ~1,400 titles, near-instant USDT processing and daily rewards); BitStarz (est. 2014, 6,500+ games, 5 BTC package + 180 spins, minute-level withdrawals); Bets.io (hybrid casino & sportsbook, 6,300+ games, 225% + 225 free spins, 10% no-wager cashback, instant USDT payouts); Red Dog Casino (RTG library ~1,350 games, up to $8,000 welcome offer, supports USDT with typical 3–5 day payouts). Practical guidance for traders and gamblers: use TRC20 for lowest fees and fastest transfers; verify supported networks to avoid lost funds; compare payout speeds, KYC levels, wagering requirements, max-win caps and licensing before depositing. Market relevance: USDT support across major casinos preserves bankroll value during spot volatility and enables rapid on/off-ramps between play and trading. For traders, the report highlights which venues offer the quickest cashouts and most favourable bonus structures — factors that affect liquidity management and short-term capital allocation.

On-chain data shows Bitcoin’s spot market moving from a prolonged sell-dominant phase to neutral conditions as the taker cumulative volume delta — a measure of net taker buy/sell volume on exchanges — flattens. CryptoQuant’s charts indicate that taker selling pressure has eased, suggesting a more balanced interplay between buyers and sellers in spot trading. No price levels, timeframes, or specific exchange names were provided. The development signals reduced net selling pressure but does not assert renewed buying momentum or an immediate price breakout.

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson publicly blamed institutional actors for a recent 35% drop in ADA, alleging coordinated pump-and-dump activity that inflated prices before large sell-offs. He claimed institutions profited both from rallies and subsequent shorts, withdrawing tens of billions and creating a liquidity vacuum that stressed market makers and destabilized crypto markets. ADA has since recovered above $0.40 while Bitcoin reclaimed the $90,000 area; Hoskinson said regulatory clarity (the Clarity Act) next year could attract capital and help restore confidence, potentially supporting BTC toward $250,000 by end-2026 and lifting ADA. Technicals show ADA forming a tightening wedge on the weekly chart: a bullish breakout could target $1 and beyond (long-term hypothetical $10), while rejection risks a fall toward $0.20. The article also promoted Best Wallet Token ($BEST) presale and its staking/reward features. Coinspeaker issued the usual disclaimer that the piece is not financial advice.

Prediction markets are seeing record volumes and a wave of fundraising as new entrants and incumbents compete for market share. Weekly volumes hit $3.68 billion recently, 2.4x above last year’s election peak. New entrant Opinion Labs is responsible for a large share of volume via farming incentives, while Polymarket and Kalshi show divergent category strengths (Polymarket balanced across Sports, Crypto, Politics; Kalshi dominated by Sports at 85.5%). FanDuel’s planned product could further reshape market dynamics. Separately, Neutrl launched NUSD, a synthetic dollar that aggregates under‑the‑radar yield from OTC arbitrage, discounted locked‑token acquisitions and delta‑neutral funding strategies. About 20% of deposits are placed into hedged OTC positions that buy discounted locked tokens and hedge via perpetuals; 60% uses delta‑neutral funding/funding‑capture strategies; the remainder is held in liquid reserves. Neutrl reported a first‑epoch effective APY of 16.58% vs. 5.12% on sUSDe, with an unrealized APR of ~42% on OTC‑deployed capital. The protocol launched on Plasma in October, filled an initial $50M cap in 20 minutes, later raising total deposits to $125M after removing caps. Backing from STIX and integration plans with Pendle, plus token and points incentives, could drive further TVL. Key risks include perp deleveraging/naked long exposure and scalability of OTC returns as TVL grows.

The crypto market rallied this week with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) reclaiming key levels as traders priced in potential Fed rate cuts and a tech-led risk-on mood. BTC rose above $90,000, trading around $91,300 after reclaiming $90k earlier in the week. ETH recovered above $3,000, reaching about $3,036. Several altcoins including SOL, JUP, APT, XRP, DOGE and ADA saw modest gains. Futures and ETF flows indicate renewed institutional interest: spot Ethereum ETFs recorded four straight days of inflows (~$78m on the latest day) and cumulative inflows near $12bn; open interest in ETH futures rose while futures volume dipped. Market optimism is partly driven by Fed officials’ comments suggesting a shift toward easing and futures pricing that implies a December rate cut. On the regulatory front, Australia introduced the Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025, requiring crypto platforms to obtain AFSL licences and closing client-asset loopholes. Bolivia announced plans to integrate crypto and stablecoins into its financial system, allowing banks to custody crypto and use digital assets in deposits and credit products to combat local inflation. Price-specific short-term notes: BTC showed volatile swings between roughly $80k–$95k over recent sessions but is trading near $91k; ETH climbed from lows under $2,900 to just over $3,000; SOL, JUP and APT remain under pressure but registered short-term recoveries. Implication for traders: rising ETF inflows and rate-cut expectations are supportive, but volumes are muted (holiday week) and price action remains volatile — manage risk around key support/resistance and watch macro cues and institutional flows.

Bitcoin rallied above $90,000 after a sharp short squeeze that liquidated roughly 658 BTC (about $43 million) in leveraged short positions in a single day. CryptoQuant data cited by Outset PR shows short liquidations jumped from 185 BTC on Nov 25 to 658 BTC on Nov 26, accelerating a market rebound that lifted broader crypto prices by about 4% over 24 hours. Technical indicators signal a corrective bounce rather than a full trend reversal: BTC reclaimed the 7-day SMA (~$87,043) and sits below the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement (~$107,720); RSI (14) is ~39, and MACD remains negative. Key resistance levels to watch are $92,500 (near-term high), the 30-day SMA (~$98,852), and the 38.2% Fibonacci level at $102,500. Traders should note the move was driven mainly by forced short-covering, making follow-through buying necessary to confirm a sustained recovery. Market outlook: short-term relief and improved sentiment, but momentum and structure have not yet shifted decisively to bulls.

XRP (XRP) is trading sideways as market participants focus on a short-term corridor between $2.16 and $2.25. The coin has shown limited directional momentum recently, with price action consolidating inside that range. Traders are watching for a breakout above $2.25 to confirm bullish continuation or a drop below $2.16 to signal a bearish shift. Volume and volatility have been subdued, suggesting indecision among holders and short-term traders. Key levels to monitor include intraday support near $2.16, resistance at $2.25, and secondary support/resistance zones derived from recent swings. The article emphasizes risk management: use defined stop-losses around the corridor boundaries and watch for volume confirmation before committing to directional trades. Short-term traders may prefer range strategies (buy dips near support, sell rallies near resistance) until a clear breakout occurs. Longer-term investors should await confirmation of trend direction or significant shifts in on-chain metrics before adjusting positions.

Three headline events in Q4 could shape trader flows: Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade, Antix ($ANTIX) token launch and MEXC listing, and the Monad mainnet launch. Fusaka follows Pectra — which boosted throughput ~8× — and aims to further improve Ethereum’s data handling and rollup efficiency, supporting lower fees and higher L2 performance. Antix conducts its Token Generation Event and lists on MEXC after nearly $10 million in presale funding. Antix ships a working AIGE (Antix Intelligence Generative Entities) engine that creates hyper‑realistic digital humans and already counts HBO, World of Tanks and Warner Bros among users; it also announced an AIGE integration with MeWe (21M users). Monad’s mainnet launch introduces a well‑funded, high‑performance Layer‑1 into an already competitive execution‑layer market; its debut includes a large public sale and sizable airdrop. Collectively, these developments highlight three market themes: Ethereum’s continued scalability push, AI‑enabled Web3 projects moving to public markets, and fresh Layer‑1 competition. Traders should monitor network performance metrics, listing volumes and unlock/airdrop schedules, and short‑term liquidity shifts around token listings and upgrade dates.

New US spot XRP ETFs have drawn heavy institutional demand since launch, removing substantial XRP from exchange circulation and creating growing liquidity pressure. Researcher Ripple Bull Winkle highlighted $622 million in ETF inflows over 13 days (≈$47.8m/day). Projecting that pace yields roughly $1.44bn in 30 days, $2.87bn in 60 days and $4.31bn in 90 days. Spot ETF issuers buy and custody XRP to mint shares, lowering exchange-listed balances; on-chain trackers show falling exchange reserves since ETF trading began. Continued sustained inflows could thin order books, make market-makers struggle to source XRP, and make even moderate buy orders trigger sharp price moves. Key metrics to monitor: daily ETF inflows, exchange reserves, issuer/authorized participant activity and regulatory developments. Traders should treat the ETF-driven liquidity drain as a primary market signal; this is informative, not financial advice.

Cardano (ADA) open interest increased ~3% in the past 24 hours as traders position for a potential retest of $0.50. The rise in derivatives exposure coincides with ADA reclaiming its 7-day simple moving average (~$0.4199) and approaching the 30-day SMA (~$0.5216). Momentum indicators show the RSI between 34–39, signaling room for upside and that recent buying was not purely reactionary. Key support sits at the 61.8% Fibonacci level around $0.391, while near-term resistance and the trigger for momentum acceleration is identified at $0.45 — a daily close above which could force short sellers to cover and spark flows toward $0.50. Outset PR is cited as the data source and provides context on narrative timing and market sentiment. Traders should watch $0.45 for confirmation of a sustained rally; failure there risks a return toward range-bound action and possible retest of $0.391. This development is informational and not investment advice.

SIX Swiss Exchange has begun trading a BONK exchange-traded product (ETP) issued by Bitcoin Capital, marking a major step for meme coins entering regulated financial markets. The BONK ETP allows retail and institutional investors to gain exposure to the BONK token through traditional brokerage accounts without holding private keys or using crypto exchanges. Key benefits promoted include regulated oversight, professional custody, simplified tax reporting, familiar trading mechanics, and access to institutional liquidity. The listing underscores Switzerland’s progressive approach to digital-asset regulation and could set a precedent for similar ETPs elsewhere. Remaining challenges include regulatory uncertainty in other jurisdictions and the perception of meme coins as speculative. The article frames the launch as both a credibility boost for BONK and a broader sign of mainstream financial adoption of crypto products.
