BNB price has consolidated sideways since October, trading between the $880–$900 support zone and the 21-day simple moving average. After recovering from an $881 low to $1,000.43, Binance Coin (BNB) retested October’s $891 floor twice and currently sits around $937. Key resistance levels stand at $1,000, $1,050 and $1,200, while supports are $900, $850 and $800. Technical indicators show both the 21-day SMA and the 50-day SMA running horizontally, with frequent Doji candlesticks confirming consolidation rather than a clear trend. The 21-day SMA is now below the 50-day SMA, suggesting downward pressure. A decisive break above the 21-day SMA could propel BNB price toward the 50-day SMA near $1,181 (and potentially $1,318 if it clears $1,020), while a drop below $880–$900 may trigger a fall to $730. Traders should watch these moving averages and clear breakouts to inform short-term and medium-term trading decisions.

XRP is trading around $2.21 with $2.15 identified as a critical support level. Market analyst Crypto Paykash warns that a break below $2.15 would invalidate the recent bullish setup and could trigger a short-term pullback toward $1.98. Maintaining this support could bolster confidence and pave the way for further upside. Meanwhile, WisdomTree executive Will Peck highlights that crypto index ETFs—bundling top tokens like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP—are poised to drive the next major adoption wave. Recent SEC rule changes have enabled launches from providers such as 21Shares and Hashdex. These ETFs simplify entry for retail and institutional investors by offering diversified exposure and lowering individual-asset risk. The strong $245 million inflows seen in the Canary XRP ETF launch underscore growing demand. With clearer regulations and expanding product options, crypto index ETFs may become a mainstream gateway, influencing both XRP’s short-term trajectory and broader digital asset participation.

Solana developer Mert Muntaz challenged the Solana Foundation’s public endorsement rules by claiming that SOL is significantly undervalued and should trade near $1,000. This statement contradicts Vibhu, a mid-tier manager at the Solana Foundation, who said he cannot publicly endorse SOL or suggest price targets. Currently, SOL trades around $141, with a market cap of $77.3 billion. Solana’s DeFi ecosystem remains active, with DEX volumes at $10.89 billion, indicating ongoing capital flows. In related news, the meme-coin project PepeNode (PEPENODE) has raised over $2.1 million in its mine-to-earn presale. Priced at $0.00115, PEPENODE offers staking rewards up to 597%, ranking it among the most notable crypto presales of 2025.

Brevis has released the ProverNet whitepaper, outlining a decentralized marketplace for zero-knowledge (ZK) proof generation. The platform uses a Truthful Online Double Auction (TODA) mechanism to match diverse proving workloads with specialized hardware operators. ProverNet has already processed over 250 million proofs in production, integrated with partners such as PancakeSwap and Linea. The BREV token will serve as the payment medium for proof services, staking collateral for provers, and a governance token for protocol parameters. Brevis plans to launch a beta mainnet featuring a simplified auction process, followed by full staking functionality at mainnet release. Performance tests show that ProverNet’s Pico Prism can prove 99.6% of Ethereum blocks under 12 seconds on a 64-GPU cluster. The protocol aims to support DEX hooks, reward distributions, and cross-chain attestations. Competitive ZK marketplaces include Proof Market, Succinct ProverNet Network, and Boundless.

MicroStrategy spent $835 million between Nov 10–16 to acquire 8,178 Bitcoin (BTC) at an average price of $102,171 per coin. This raises its total Bitcoin holdings to 649,870 BTC, purchased at an average cost of $74,433 and valued at $48.37 billion. Funding came mainly from a $700 million STRE perpetual share issuance and its ATM equity program. Founder Michael Saylor dismissed sale rumors and confirmed an increase in buying scale. Despite this institutional investment, Bitcoin’s price dipped over 1% to below $94,000 and MSTR shares fell in pre-market trading. Traders will watch whether continued large-scale BTC purchases can boost market sentiment and stabilize price amid volatility.

Aave has introduced a consumer-focused crypto yield app on Apple’s App Store, offering up to 6.5% annualized returns. Users can deposit assets from bank accounts, debit cards or stablecoins, with balance protection up to $1m. The launch taps into a growing trend of DeFi platforms offering neobank-like crypto yield services. Following its acquisition of Stable Finance, Aave has gathered $70bn in deposits and serves 2.5m users globally. By leveraging its lending protocol, the Aave app delivers yields that outpace traditional money market funds. This retail crypto yield product may boost on-chain liquidity and drive demand for AAVE tokens, supporting broader DeFi adoption.

BitMine Immersion Technologies acquired over 54,000 Ether (ETH) last week, spending approximately $173 million and bringing its total holdings to nearly 3.6 million ETH, or about 3% of the circulating supply. The digital‐asset treasury also boosted its cash reserves from $398 million to $607 million. BitMine’s shares fell 2.6% to their weakest level since August amid a broader crypto liquidity squeeze. Chairman Thomas Lee of Fundstrat and BitMine attributed the downturn to market makers pulling back after the October 10 crash, likening the effect to a ‘quantitative tightening’ for crypto. Despite the short‐term weakness, Lee argued the crypto cycle hasn’t peaked yet and predicted that structural drivers—especially asset tokenization of stocks, bonds and real estate on Ethereum—could push the cycle top into 2026 or later. Traders should watch liquidity indicators and Ethereum’s tokenization trends for potential buying opportunities.

Crypto strategist Tom Lee forecasts an Ethereum supercycle mirroring Bitcoin’s historic 100x rally. Recalling his 2017 Bitcoin buy recommendation at $1,000, Lee notes that despite six 50%+ drawdowns and three 75%+ crashes, Bitcoin still achieved 100x gains. He argues that crypto prices reflect long-term potential and that short-term volatility—such as Ethereum’s recent 35% drop from all-time highs—is typical in major uptrends. Analytics contributor Burak Kesmeci highlights strong ETH accumulation near $3,150, with Ethereum trading around $3,130, roughly $200 above the average cost base for long-term holders. Lee advises traders to hold through potential drawdowns, reinforcing a bullish outlook and the importance of allocation planning during the Ethereum supercycle.

Nick Szabo, a pioneer in digital currency design, recently cautioned that Bitcoin can face legal pressure from governments and large institutions despite its trust-minimized architecture. In a post on X, Szabo highlighted that regulators could target critical network participants—such as mining companies, node operators, and wallet services—by demanding the removal or alteration of arbitrary data on the blockchain. Such legal demands may force nodes or miners to act against Bitcoin’s core principles. In contrast, blockchain expert Chris Seedor argued that Bitcoin’s decentralized protocol makes it highly resistant to control, drawing parallels to the sustained availability of tools like Tor and PGP. Meanwhile, Elon Musk reiterated that Bitcoin can serve as an inflation hedge when governments increase money supply. Traders should monitor regulatory developments closely, as legal actions against miners or node operators could trigger short-term volatility, even as Bitcoin’s technical safeguards continue to bolster its long-term resilience.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, has launched the Global Master Trader Arena, a trading competition with a 300,000 USDT prize pool. The event unfolds in two rounds: Nov. 17–28 and Dec. 1–12, 2025. Participants compete via Bybit’s Copy Trading feature, where Master Traders and their Followers target top profit and loss (PnL). Two categories are offered—Classic and TradFi—each with volume thresholds: 120,000 USDT for Classic and 6,000,000 USDx for TradFi. The top 100 teams per round share a 150,000 USDT pool: 15% for first, 9% for second, 6% for third, 25% for ranks four–ten, 35% for ranks eleven–fifty, and 10% for fifty-one–one hundred. Rewards are split 50/50 between Master Traders and Followers by trading volume. Open to verified Bybit users worldwide (excluding restricted regions), this trading competition aims to boost engagement, trading volume, and highlight top traders on the exchange.

In its first full week, the XRP ETF recorded a $15.5 million net outflow, marking the largest weekly reversal since institutional inflows resumed last year. The sell-the-news event for the XRP ETF came despite a strong launch: the ETF pulled in $243 million in cash and in-kind flows after debut and reached a $58 million trading volume, outperforming Solana’s spot ETF launch. Over the past 12 months, XRP ETPs attracted roughly $2 billion, driving XRP’s price from $0.50 to $3.50. However, CoinShares data shows the broader ETP market logged $2 billion in outflows, led by Bitcoin ($1.38 billion) and Ethereum ($689 million), with XRP’s $15.5 million redemptions occurring alongside policy uncertainty and crypto-native selling. The pattern suggests investors treated the XRP ETF launch as a sell-the-news trigger rather than a long-term entry point. If crypto ETP outflows persist, further downward pressure on XRP could follow. Traders should monitor institutional flows and ETF data for signals on market stability and potential buying opportunities.

Bitcoin price surged past $95,000 on Binance’s USDT market. This rally stems from increased institutional inflows and clearer regulations in key jurisdictions. Limited supply and global inflation concerns have also driven demand. Higher Bitcoin price boosts portfolio values and market credibility. Traders should note that such peaks often trigger short-term profit-taking and volatility. Monitor trading volume trends, regulatory updates and macroeconomic indicators to anticipate price direction. Overall, the milestone highlights Bitcoin’s maturing status and long-term growth potential.

AI technology integration is reshaping traditional sectors by automating routine tasks and reducing costs. In manufacturing and healthcare, AI-driven solutions streamline workflows, boost productivity and cut operational expenses. Companies adopting AI technology report improved team collaboration and a shift in employee roles, prompting investments in skills development and strategic training. However, AI integration also raises data security and ethical considerations. Organizations must ensure regulatory compliance, protect privacy and maintain transparency in AI decision-making. Establishing responsible AI frameworks not only addresses these challenges but also enhances competitive advantage and builds consumer trust. As AI tools become more sophisticated, their impact on global business operations grows, compelling companies to adapt or risk falling behind. Understanding AI’s capabilities and limitations is crucial for decision-makers aiming to harness its full potential and drive sustainable innovation.

Internet Computer (ICP) plunged 32% over the past week, sliding from an early-November high near $9.50 down to under $5. After spiking to a market cap above $5 billion, broader crypto market corrections triggered a sharp sell-off. Internet Computer (ICP)’s RSI dipped below 30—signaling oversold conditions and a buy opportunity. X user WIZZ forecasts a rebound toward $20, while others foresee altcoin rallies powered by a Bitcoin (BTC) surge above $200,000. BTC itself eased 10% this week, trading near $95,000. The steep correction and technical bounce prospects suggest a potential accumulation chance, though long-term upside depends on overall market and Bitcoin momentum.

Everstake, the world’s largest non-custodial staking provider, has partnered with Paribu Custody, Turkey’s first institutional digital-asset custody solution, to accelerate institutional staking adoption in Turkey. The integration enables Paribu Custody clients to stake assets on major Proof-of-Stake networks – including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cosmos (ATOM), Cardano (ADA), Aptos (APT) and Celestia (TIA) – via Everstake’s enterprise-grade validators. Backed by Everstake’s 99.98% uptime and global compliance certifications (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, NIST CSF, GDPR, CCPA), this collaboration allows institutions to convert digital assets into yield-generating holdings within a secure, compliant framework. Paribu Custody’s proprietary ColdShield technology has processed over $150 billion in volume, supporting Turkey’s rapidly growing crypto market projected to hit $2.2 billion revenue in 2025. Mehmet Kafadar, Paribu Custody Director, emphasised the enhanced capabilities delivered by Everstake’s network support and competitive rates. Bohdan Opryshko, Co-Founder and COO of Everstake, underlined the move from experimental to essential for institutional staking. This partnership strengthens blockchain infrastructure in the region and offers seamless digital asset custody and staking solutions for asset managers, exchanges, and financial institutions in Turkey.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) returned to large-scale Bitcoin buys last week. In this Bitcoin buy cycle, MSTR buys Bitcoin worth $835.6 million, acquiring 8,178 BTC at an average price of $102,171 per coin. This Bitcoin buy was funded through preferred stock issuance, with $715 million raised via the STRE series and $131.4 million via STRC. MSTR’s total holdings now stand at 649,870 BTC acquired for about $48.37 billion in total, at an average cost of $74,433 each. The firm had largely paused large Bitcoin purchases after its stock fell 56% over four months, making common share issuance dilutive. Trading at $199 on Monday, MSTR’s enterprise value is now marginally above its Bitcoin holdings. Bitcoin is trading near $94,500. Strategy’s return to significant Bitcoin buys underscores ongoing institutional demand and the use of preferred stock as an alternative funding tool. Even amid volatility, MSTR buys Bitcoin to bolster its crypto treasury.

Fundstrat co-founder Tom Lee told his X followers that Ethereum is entering a “supercycle” akin to Bitcoin’s post-2017 rally. Lee views current sharp pullbacks as precursors to major gains, characterizing the phase as an Ethereum supercycle trend. On-chain data shows long-term wallets have accumulated a record 27 million ETH, with the asset trading near its average cost basis—historically a strong buy zone. CryptoQuant analysis notes Ethereum’s price around $3,150 sits just $200 above the cost basis for patient accumulators, who added 17 million ETH this year. Lee warns that market volatility reflects a growing discount on Ethereum’s future value, mirroring Bitcoin’s multiple 75%+ corrections before it topped $126,000 in October 2025. In corporate developments, BitMine Immersion Technologies appointed Chi Tsang as CEO and added three independent board members, strengthening governance for its over 3.5 million ETH treasury—worth $11 billion. ARK Invest increased its exposure by buying $2 million in BitMine shares, while other firms adopt digital asset treasury strategies: Forward Industries holds 6.82 million SOL, and Cypherpunk Technologies acquired $50 million in ZEC. The trend underscores rising institutional interest in cryptocurrencies as strategic balance-sheet assets.

Bitcoin has experienced its third-largest drawdown of the current cycle, dropping 25% from its all-time high to below $94,000. Despite downward momentum on shorter timeframes, realised losses and selling pressure have begun to stabilize. Key on-chain exhaustion signals—such as the short-term holders’ realised profit-loss ratio falling below 0.20 and only 7.6% of supply in profit—suggest a local bottom is forming. Meanwhile, macroeconomic headwinds persist: the recent 43-day U.S. government shutdown inflicted permanent GDP losses, dampening market sentiment amid sticky inflation and business optimism declines. On the regulatory front, a bipartisan Senate draft bill proposes shifting crypto oversight from the SEC to the CFTC, classifying most tokens as digital commodities. In industry developments, Polymarket will provide live prediction-market data during UFC events, and the Czech National Bank launched a pilot digital asset portfolio including Bitcoin and a stablecoin. Together, these factors set the stage for potential Bitcoin stabilisation into late Q4.

Five crypto ICOs are leading investor focus in November 2025, each offering distinct value propositions. Remittix (RTX) has raised $28.1 million in presale, is CertiK-audited, and is developing PayFi rails for low-cost cross-border crypto-to-bank transfers. Bitcoin Hyper aims to merge DeFi features with Bitcoin by launching a side chain for smart contracts, yield farming, and staking rewards linked to BTC liquidity. BlockDAG (BDAG) introduces a high-speed Layer 1 network using directed acyclic graph architecture to scale throughput to thousands of transactions per second while retaining proof-of-work security. LayerBrett (LBRETT) is a meme-infused Ethereum layer 2 project offering fast, low-fee transactions, staking incentives, and NFT utilities. These crypto ICOs cover payment rails, DeFi infrastructure, and community-driven ecosystems, making them top picks for traders hunting the best crypto ICOs now. Due diligence—including whitepaper review, audit checks, and risk management—is essential before participation.

Nasdaq-listed Forward Industries (FORD) has revealed a substantial Solana investment, holding 6.91 million SOL tokens and staking nearly all of them. This move underscores growing institutional confidence in blockchain assets and highlights Solana’s appeal: high transaction speeds (up to 65,000 TPS), low fees, a burgeoning dApp ecosystem, and attractive staking rewards. By staking its SOL holdings, Forward Industries secures passive income, supports network security, and signals a long-term commitment rather than short-term speculation. The announcement could validate Solana’s market position, encourage other institutions to adopt similar Solana investment strategies, and reduce circulating supply pressure. While challenges remain—price volatility, regulatory uncertainty, security risks, and accounting complexities—the company’s staking approach suggests robust risk management. As regulatory clarity improves, Forward Industries’ Solana investment may serve as a blueprint for mainstream institutional crypto adoption and drive further market growth.

Trump Organization and Dar Global have launched a resort tokenization offering for the Trump International Hotel Maldives. The project lets investors buy fractional real estate stakes at the development stage through blockchain tokens. Set to open by late 2028, the resort will feature about 80 beach and overwater villas. This real estate tokenization model enables 24/7 trading and lowers entry barriers for retail investors. Unlike most offerings targeting completed properties, this deal taps the project early. Eric Trump calls it a “new benchmark for innovation in real estate investment.” Dar Global CEO Ziad El Chaar says it’s a global first blending luxury hospitality with technology. Traders should watch regulatory approvals and token sale specifics. The move follows strong profits from Trump-linked tokens like WLFI, TRUMP and Melania tokens. Market observers expect this resort tokenization to boost blockchain adoption and reshape property investing.

Applied DNA Sciences, a Nasdaq-listed firm formerly focused on DNA-based security, has officially rebranded as BNB Plus and will trade under the ticker BNBX. The move follows the company’s accumulation of 15,524 BNB tokens and reflects a strategic pivot toward corporate cryptocurrency adoption. Leveraging its existing Nasdaq infrastructure and compliance framework, BNB Plus offers investors indirect exposure to the BNB ecosystem without the need for digital wallets or exchanges. Key benefits include enhanced shareholder value through BNB holdings, access to DeFi growth, and the regulatory protections of public markets. The effective date for the name and ticker change will be confirmed via official Nasdaq filings. This transformation highlights the growing trend of traditional companies integrating digital assets into their core business models and opens a new avenue for mainstream investors seeking regulated crypto exposure.

Corporate and institutional players have quietly accumulated nearly 7% of Bitcoin’s circulating supply, fueling a debate over the network’s long-term decentralization. Data from Bitbo.io shows public companies hold 4.73% and private firms 2.03% of Bitcoin, while spot Bitcoin ETFs have amassed an additional 7.3% since January 2024. At Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025, Alexander Laizet of Capital B argued that expanded custody options—from banks to treasury firms—broaden distribution and strengthen Bitcoin’s decentralization. Research analyst Nicolai Sondergaard of Nansen echoed that economic ownership remains widely dispersed, despite growing centralization of custodial services. Yet crypto analyst Willy Woo warned at Baltic Honeybadger 2025 that concentrated institutional holdings could become a centralized vulnerability, drawing parallels to the 1971 end of the gold standard. Traders should weigh both the liquidity boost from corporate demand and the potential risks of increased custodial influence.

EU lawmakers have removed mandatory client-side message scanning from the latest Chat Control draft. The revision follows pressure from digital rights activists led by Patrick Breyer. Despite the change, the bill still includes voluntary mass scanning and stringent age verification for communication services. Under the Danish Presidency, the draft now states “Nothing in this Regulation should be understood as imposing any detection obligations on providers.” Critics warn that vague language on “risk mitigation measures” could force providers to implement scanning. Breyer calls the omission “political deception” as voluntary scanning without court orders remains. The legislation is set to pass COREPER II on Nov. 19 as a non-discussion item. If approved, it goes to the Council of Ministers for formal adoption. Unencrypted services like Gmail and Facebook already scan messages voluntarily. The European Commission predicts a 3.5-fold increase in abuse reports if mandatory checks return. The debate reflects a broader cypherpunk conflict over privacy and encryption. Early Bitcoin developers cited the pro-privacy movement as inspiration. Traders should note that digital privacy regulation remains unsettled. This bill could shape demand for privacy-focused tools and coins.

In a new report, venture firm a16z recommends using arcade tokens to create stable, spend-focused economies within crypto apps, boosting user engagement while limiting speculation. Unlike volatile market tokens, arcade tokens maintain a controlled value—similar to in-game credits or airline miles—redeemable for services but non-tradable on exchanges. The report highlights Blackbird’s FLY token, launched in mid-2024 to reward restaurant customers via a Web3 payments platform. By allowing issuers to mint arcade tokens on demand for grants and subsidies, projects can expand ecosystems without pushing holders to swap tokens. While not suited for all protocols, such as layer-one blockchains with established assets, arcade tokens offer a niche solution for real-world integrations. For traders, the emergence of arcade tokens signals a maturing crypto token economy, shifting focus from price speculation to utility-driven models.

In November, stablecoin regulation advances from consultation to enforceable law across major jurisdictions. The EU’s MiCA stablecoin chapter caps non-euro usage, mandates high-quality reserves, and requires daily transparency. In the UK, fiat-backed stablecoins fall under FCA, BoE, and Payment Systems Regulator oversight, with phased permissions and stronger client fund safeguards. Asia follows suit: Japan imposes bank-style issuance rules; Singapore demands 1:1 redemption, short-duration reserves, and daily reporting. In the US, federal legislation converges on payment-stablecoin oversight, while state charters and bank licenses bridge regulatory gaps. Markets already reward issuers publishing frequent attestations, naming custodians, and holding cash and Treasuries. November’s stablecoin regulation shift drives three trader impacts: regional listing divergence, trust driven by redemption speed and transparency, and smoother cross-border transfers when reserve quality is verifiable. Algorithmic stablecoins face stricter marketing, warning labels, and higher capital or disclosure burdens, positioning them as risk assets without same-day fiat redemption. Fully reserved fiat-backed tokens will serve as settlement rails in payments and DeFi, with market makers and on-chain treasuries adjusting liquidity management. Traders should monitor spreads during policy events and avoid thin stables in volatility. In the long term, expect consolidation toward narrow-bank–style issuers and clearer lanes for overcollateralized models. Through enhanced reserve, redemption and disclosure standards, stablecoin regulation is reshaping the crypto settlement layer.

CoinShares’ latest report shows crypto fund outflows surged to $2 billion in the week to Nov. 16, marking the largest weekly loss since February and the third straight week of net redemptions totalling $3.2 billion. Bitcoin outflows led the sell-off with $1.38 billion (2% of BTC AuM) withdrawn, while Ethereum redemptions reached $689 million (4% of ETH AuM). Smaller losses hit Solana (SOL) and XRP, at $8.3 million and $15.5 million respectively. Overall assets under management in digital asset ETPs have plunged 27% from an October peak to $191 billion. U.S.-based products accounted for most redemptions, including $1.1 billion from spot Bitcoin ETFs, amid a near 10% drop in BTC prices. Multi-asset funds were an exception, drawing $69 million as traders sought diversification. Analysts cite heightened monetary policy uncertainty, whale selling and waning ETF interest. These crypto fund outflows reflect weak market momentum and policy uncertainty. Market watchers—including Peter Schiff and Robert Kiyosaki—are split on allocating to gold or accumulating crypto. Traders should monitor Fed signals and whale activity for potential market stabilisation or further downside.

On November 17, a dormant Cardano whale sold 14.4 million ADA (≈$6.9 m) for USDA on decentralized exchanges. Due to the ADA/USDA pool’s thin liquidity, the automated market maker inflicted severe slippage: the trader received only 847,695 USDA (≈$847 k), losing over $6 m in seconds and briefly pushing USDA above $1.25. The wallet paid more than $8 per USDA, eight times the peg rate. On-chain analysts mocked it as the “Onchain Clown of the Month.” The pool later recovered to around $1.03, but the incident underlined the risks of low-liquidity swaps in the Cardano ecosystem. Traders are urged to check pool depth, set slippage limits, split large orders, and consider multiple swap paths or centralized exchanges to manage DeFi risks.
