21Shares has filed a new S-1 amendment with the U.S. SEC for a spot XRP ETF termed a "canary" ETF. Under SEC rules, if regulators do not object within a specified window, the Canary XRP ETF can list on the Cboe BZX exchange and begin trading within days. This filing marks another milestone in the SEC’s spot ETF approvals following bitcoin and ether products. The canary ETF mechanism accelerates the product’s launch by setting a trading deadline tied to the no-objection window. Proponents view the XRP ETF filing as a bullish signal for XRP and the broader market. Assuming no regulatory objections, the fund is expected to start trading this week, potentially boosting XRP liquidity and drawing institutional inflows.

Bitcoin price dipped below $103,000 early Tuesday, hitting a low of $102,500 before rebounding to around $103,000, marking a near 3% daily decline. Technical charts highlight the 50-week moving average near $102,000 as a critical support level; a sustained break could open doors to targets of $92,000 or lower. The U.S. House is set to vote to end the government shutdown, potentially stirring market swings. Meanwhile, SoftBank’s sale of Nvidia stock pushed NVDA shares down 3%, weighing on AI and tech sectors. U.S. equities closed mixed: the Dow rose 1.18%, the Nasdaq fell 0.25%, and the S&P 500 rose 0.21%. Leading altcoins also slid, with SOL down 9% and Ethereum slipping 5.5% below $3,500. Traders should watch the 50-week MA test and upcoming political developments for further clues on market direction.

An on-chain analysis reveals a major ETH whale (address 0x69b...0e378) sold 1300 ETH ten minutes ago, realizing a $597,000 loss. The whale had initially accumulated 2655 ETH between October 14 and 18 at an average price of $3,805.60. After the sale, the remaining 1355 ETH position is still underwater by $487,000. That batch previously saw peak paper gains of $2.142 million. This ETH whale’s loss-cutting trade coincides with recent market volatility. Traders should watch for further on-chain movements and potential selling pressure as the whale continues to unwind its position.

Lookonchain data shows that a new wallet (0x392a) withdrew 10,050 ETH from Kraken, worth approximately $34.38 million. This Kraken withdrawal stands out as significant on-chain activity and reduces exchange liquidity. Crypto traders often monitor such large Kraken withdrawals as a potential bullish indicator, suggesting accumulation off-exchange. The transaction was executed 20 minutes before reporting, underlining rapid asset movement. This large-scale withdrawal could influence short-term price dynamics and signal investor confidence in holding Ethereum.

As blockchain and crypto enter mainstream finance, public skepticism remains due to low financial literacy. Over 70% of American adults avoid crypto because they lack basic crypto education and cannot explain blockchain infrastructure. To bridge this knowledge gap, the industry uses gamification—play-to-earn mobile apps and crypto-enabled online casinos—to teach digital wallet use and secure transactions. Free community resources, such as MOOCs and forums like BitcoinTalk and Reddit, provide decentralized learning and reinforce blockchain awareness. Accredited courses at institutions like MIT and NYU further legitimize crypto education and increase trust in digital assets. Finally, media outlets, through documentaries and balanced news features, package complex topics into accessible formats. Effective crypto education can dispel myths, reduce scams, and support responsible adoption across user segments.

Investors are selling bonds from major US tech firms as concerns mount over their AI infrastructure debt. The surge in AI infrastructure debt is flooding credit markets and pushing leverage higher. Spreads over US Treasuries have widened to 0.78 percentage points, the highest since April, up from 0.5 points in September. Hyperscalers including Alphabet, Meta, Microsoft and Oracle have issued large high-grade debt to fund massive AI data center projects. JPMorgan estimates the AI build-out will require over $5 trillion across public and private markets, with data center spending projected at $400 billion in 2026. Recent bond sales include Meta’s $30 billion, Alphabet’s $25 billion and Oracle’s $18 billion issuances. Oracle’s long-term debt stands at $96 billion, and its bonds have fallen nearly 5% since mid-September, outpacing peers. Rising credit spreads signal investor wariness about financing the AI boom, with risks including overcapacity, energy demands and reliance on key AI partners. However, strong cash flows and revenue agreements—such as Oracle’s $300 billion projection from OpenAI deals—may mitigate long-term concerns. Traders should monitor bond yields and credit spreads for insights into risk appetite and market stability.

CoinMarketCap’s Altcoin Season Index fell from 30 to 26 on November 12, showing only 26% of the top 100 cryptocurrencies outperformed Bitcoin (BTC) over the past 90 days. This drop below 50 highlights renewed BTC dominance amid institutional ETF approvals, market uncertainty favoring established assets, regulatory scrutiny on smaller tokens, and economic risk aversion. Traders should use the Altcoin Season Index as a real-time gauge of market cycles: increase BTC exposure, dollar-cost average into high-quality altcoins during consolidation, and watch for a rise above 50 to signal a potential altcoin rally. Historically, readings under 30 persist for weeks to months, offering entry points when altcoins stabilize and Bitcoin remains strong.

UNI price has rallied 70% in one week following Uniswap’s joint governance proposal “UNIfication,” which activates protocol fees and introduces a continuous UNI token burn mechanism. On-chain data shows a four-year high in whale accumulation and a three-year peak in new wallet creation, reflecting strong institutional and retail interest. Despite the bullish sentiment, UNI stalled at $10.03—its September high—as it hit resistance at the descending triangle’s trendline. A failure to break above this level triggered an 11% intraday pullback. Technical analysis indicates a potential 42% correction toward the triangle’s $4.84 support floor, though buyers may find interim support near $8.00 or $7.20. Derivatives markets are equally active. UNI futures open interest surged from $235 million to $770 million in four days, suggesting fresh leveraged positions. While the “UNIfication” proposal underpins mid- to long-term growth, the current bearish pattern caps further upside. Traders should watch key support levels and whale activity for signs of trend reversal.

With the crypto market gearing up for the next big rally, smart investors are seeking top cryptos to buy ahead of the upswing. Cardano (ADA) is holding at $0.50 support, eyeing a breakout above $0.61 for a move to $0.75. XRP (XRP) is consolidating around $2.16, with a recovery zone at $2.36–$2.43 setting the stage for a potential rise to $2.78. In parallel, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is closing Phase 6 of its presale at $0.035, raising $18.58 million and attracting over 17,850 investors. MUTM’s upcoming Phase 7 presale at $0.04, its DeFi credit protocols and planned collateralized stablecoin offer utility-focused traders high upside, with forecasts of 10x–50x gains. These factors make ADA, XRP and MUTM the leading cryptos to buy before the rally.

GoPlus’s Chinese community has flagged a critical Hello402 contract risk: the smart contract’s addTokenCredits function lacks MAX_SUPPLY checks, enabling infinite minting. The high-privilege admin can allocate unlimited H402 mint quotas and use the WithdrawDevToken function to mint all unassigned tokens at once, posing severe centralization threats. Though the project team announced WithdrawDevToken is reserved for private sale adjustments, ecosystem incentives, and profit allocation, these commitments lack on-chain enforcement, raising breach risks. Major exchange OKX is investigating Hello402 contract risk by tracking abnormal on-chain activity and may pursue legal action. To address this Hello402 contract risk, traders should monitor H402 supply closely, as unchecked minting and centralized control could distort market supply and token value.

Canadian-listed Matador Technologies has purchased 92 Bitcoin at an average cost of US$102,752 each. The acquisition was funded through the first drawdown of its previously announced US$100 million secured convertible bond financing with ATW Partners. Matador drew CA$13.2 million (US$9.5 million) to execute trades via Netcoins and FalconX. The average acquisition price, including fees, was US$102,752 per Bitcoin. This move boosts Matador’s digital asset holdings and reflects growing corporate adoption of Bitcoin. The financing facility remains available for future top-ups, highlighting how convertible bond financing can leverage capital for large-scale BTC acquisitions. Public companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets may influence market supply and demand dynamics.

On November 11, on-chain analyst @ai_9684xtpa observed that the whale known as “1011 Open Short Insider” closed its ETH long positions overnight. The trader then withdrew 5.2 million USDC collateral from its Hyperliquid account and deposited the remaining 41.2 million USDC into Binance. Large stablecoin inflows to exchanges often signal potential selling pressure. Crypto traders should monitor further USDC movements and whale activity, as such transfers may foreshadow short-term volatility in ETH markets.

Bitcoin’s November rally may stall as macroeconomic uncertainty and mixed Federal Reserve signals drive a consolidation phase. The CME FedWatch tool shows only a 68% chance of a December rate cut, down from near 90%. Bitcoin has slid 11% over the past month, testing support around $103,000 and key resistance at $116,000. Failure to reclaim $116,000 could sap bullish momentum. Despite the cautious outlook, historical data from CoinGlass highlights an average November gain of 41.78% since 2013. Traders including Dave Weisberger, Carl Runefelt and AshCrypto remain optimistic, citing strong fundamentals and expecting a rebound. Crypto traders aiming to trade the Bitcoin November rally should track Fed communications and key levels for signs of a breakout or further consolidation.

According to Arab Chain analysis, Bitcoin seller liquidity has dropped sharply, falling to around 1.27 million BTC—its lowest level in recent years. This drop indicates a structural shift in supply. Whales and institutional wallets are pulling coins off exchanges. Meanwhile, Binance reserves now hold roughly 566,000 BTC, accounting for 45% of active selling liquidity. The stability of Binance reserves, amid declining Bitcoin seller liquidity, suggests large volumes are moving from competitors into Binance. This trend underlines a market consolidation phase before major price moves. As available supply tightens, traders may see reduced volatility but should watch for a potential breakout once re-distribution completes.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has cleared the final regulatory hurdle for the first Spot XRP ETF, which is set to begin trading this Wednesday or Thursday. The new Spot XRP ETF will let investors gain direct exposure to XRP without handling the token itself, simplifying trading operations and boosting market liquidity. Analysts expect the ETF launch to drive significant trading volume, improve price discovery, and signal stronger regulatory clarity. Traders should monitor initial fund inflows, bid-ask spreads, and short-term volatility around the market debut.

Global investment bank Houlihan Lokey’s report highlights that Ripple’s corporate valuation is directly linked to the market price of XRP. The Feb 2024 study models valuations under three scenarios at $0.60 per XRP—from $4.5 billion (secondary-market pricing) to $28.6 billion (market-price alignment). Under FASB’s ASU 2023-08, fair-value reporting of digital assets would bring Ripple’s balance-sheet valuation in line with token market value. Updating the model with today’s XRP price of $2.44 and Ripple’s 40 billion XRP holdings yields a theoretical valuation of $93 billion, versus the company’s recent $500 million private raise at a $40 billion valuation. The analysis underscores that shifts in the XRP price could meaningfully alter Ripple’s corporate worth, reinforcing the link between token performance and corporate valuation.

AMD forecasts a 35% compound annual growth rate over the next three to five years, driven by strong AI data center hardware demand. The company projects its AI data-center unit to grow 80% annually, aiming for tens of billions in sales by 2027. Strategic multi-year GPU supply agreements with OpenAI, Oracle and Meta, alongside best-selling EPYC server processors, underpin AMD’s push for double-digit share in a larger AI data center market and to outpace its gaming segment. AMD also raised its total AI hardware market forecast to $1 trillion by 2030. Looking ahead, the Instinct MI400X GPUs launching in 2026 as 72-GPU rack-scale systems, and projected gross margins of 55–58%, highlight AMD’s aggressive strategy. Crypto traders should note that rising GPU demand for AI workloads could tighten supply for mining GPUs and support AMD’s stock (AMD) outlook.

Google has pledged around €5.5 billion (US$6.6 billion) to expand its cloud infrastructure in Germany, focusing on Google German data centers powered by clean energy. Over the next four years, the investment will deliver a new data center in Dietzenbach near Frankfurt and expand the Hanau site. By boosting these German data centers, Google aims to accelerate service speeds and support AI-driven applications across Europe’s largest economy. Although timelines and job figures remain unspecified, the expansion will heighten competition in the European cloud market alongside AWS and Azure. For crypto traders, improved cloud infrastructure could enhance the performance and reliability of blockchain nodes and AI-powered trading platforms hosted in Google German data centers.

A major Ethereum whale withdrawal of 28,000 ETH ($98.6 M) from Binance signals long-term accumulation. The 0xE5C address now holds 355,000 ETH ($1.21 B). Traders view such Ethereum whale withdrawal as a bullish indicator, reducing on-exchange supply and hinting at future price gains. Previous withdrawals included 60,000 ETH to Aave for DeFi yield farming. While these moves often precede price rallies, market participants should also weigh overall sentiment and regulations. This Ethereum whale withdrawal underscores strong confidence in ETH’s growth and may drive positive price momentum.

Following Uniswap’s fee buyback and burn proposal that drove UNI to $10, traders transferred at least 14.18 million UNI tokens (approximately $130 million) into cryptocurrency exchanges within 24 hours. This sudden exchange inflow reversed price gains, pulling UNI back to around $8. The large sell-off underscores the volatility and profit-taking behavior even amid token burn initiatives, signaling caution for crypto traders.

In the past seven hours, a newly created wallet has received 1,130 Bitcoin (BTC) from the digital asset firm FalconX, according to on-chain analytics by Onchain Lens. These transactions, valued at roughly $116.46 million, mark a significant BTC accumulation. Such an influx into a single fresh address suggests growing demand and strategic positioning ahead of market events. On-chain flows from trading platforms like FalconX are key indicators of institutional interest. Holding 1,130 BTC in one wallet reduces circulating supply and may bolster near-term price support. Traders should watch for any outbound movements, as selling or further accumulation could influence liquidity and volatility. This large on-chain transfer highlights continued institutional engagement in the Bitcoin market.

Overnight, the crypto market shifted from bullish to bearish, with XRP blocked below key resistance, Ethereum failing to reclaim the $4,000 level, and Shiba Inu’s recent breakout reversing into a fakeout. XRP trades at $2.46, unable to overcome the $2.55–$2.60 resistance zone formed by 50-, 100- and 200-day EMAs. Volume spiked briefly during the rally but plunged as sellers entered. The RSI sits at 50, indicating neutral momentum and challenging any decisive breakout. Ethereum also shows weakness: repeated rejections at the 200-day MA near $3,980 and failure to hold above $3,550 suggest buyer fatigue. The 50- and 100-day EMAs trend lower, and the RSI around 43 points to bearish sentiment. A sustained close above $3,900–$4,000 is needed for a reversal; otherwise, ETH may drift back to $3,400–$3,300 support. Shiba Inu’s brief advance above the 50-day EMA at $0.0000107 quickly reversed, dropping over 2.5% in a classic fakeout. With RSI near 45 and declining volume, SHIB risks retesting support at $0.0000090 or even $0.0000085. Traders should monitor key resistance breakouts or potential further declines.

Michael Selig, chief counsel of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, faces confirmation on November 19, 2025 before the Senate Agriculture Committee to become CFTC chairman. His nomination coincides with legislative moves like the CLARITY Act to redefine SEC and CFTC jurisdictions over digital assets, notably Bitcoin, marking a pivotal shift in U.S. crypto regulation. Acting Chair Caroline Pham, the sole CFTC commissioner since September, plans to resign once a permanent chair is confirmed, highlighting the need for leadership stability. Selig’s background in digital asset policy and enforcement could broaden CFTC authority over crypto derivatives and spot markets. Traders should watch for clearer regulatory boundaries, potentially reducing uncertainty in Bitcoin classification and trading. With global crypto market cap topping $2 trillion and daily volumes above $100 billion, Selig’s strategy on oversight and enforcement will shape Bitcoin regulation and market dynamics in 2026.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has plunged to 24, signaling extreme fear in the cryptocurrency market. Updated daily, the index aggregates six data points—volatility, trading volume, social media sentiment, investor surveys, Bitcoin dominance and Google search trends—to gauge overall market sentiment. A reading below 30 historically marks periods of extreme fear, often preceding market recoveries and potential buying opportunities. Traders should view the index as a contrarian indicator alongside technical analysis and fundamental research. To manage risk amid heightened volatility, consider dollar-cost averaging, portfolio diversification and clear stop-loss orders. Maintaining emotional discipline and a well-defined investment plan is crucial when sentiment swings. Monitoring the Crypto Fear & Greed Index can help identify entry points, but patience and comprehensive analysis remain essential.

Bitcoin price has stabilised near $106,000 after touching $107,000 earlier this week, pressured by large whale sell-offs and technical resistance at the 200-day moving average around $110,000. Trading volumes have declined, with open interest in Bitcoin futures falling from $94 billion in October to $68 billion, indicating reduced leverage. US spot Bitcoin ETFs registered minimal net inflows of $1 million, underperforming equities following the federal shutdown resolution. Experts point to sustained whale selling and a lack of fresh catalysts—such as regulatory clarity or macroeconomic improvements—as key factors keeping Bitcoin in a narrow range. Key support lies at $103,000, below which a drop towards $86,000 could accelerate selling, while a decisive break above $110,000 may attract momentum buyers seeking targets of $115,600 and $118,000. Traders should monitor ETF flows, futures open interest and technical levels for signs of renewed momentum.

Bitcoin price is consolidating above $100,000 with easing selling pressure from long-term holders. Weekly realized profits have halved to $1–2 billion, indicating reduced downward force. On-chain metrics from Glassnode and CryptoQuant show ETF outflows slowing and whale dominance capping volatility. Macro tailwinds, including a potential U.S. government shutdown resolution and looming Fed rate cuts, may boost liquidity and support risk assets. Analysts at Bitfinex, Swissblock and QCP Capital highlight a critical pivot zone between $108,000 and $110,000. Reclaiming these levels could spark a rally toward $118,000 or beyond. Experts estimate a bullish reversal if Bitcoin price holds above $100,000, making current levels an attractive entry point. Traders should watch short-term support and resistance to capitalize on potential momentum shifts while managing risk amid range-bound conditions.

Nasdaq-listed mining firm Bitmine has purchased 24,007 ETH (approx. $82.04 million) through Galaxy Digital at an average price of $3,417 per token. This institutional Ethereum purchase underscores growing institutional adoption of the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency and reduces circulating supply, potentially exerting upward pressure on ETH prices. Key drivers include Ethereum’s network upgrades improving scalability, expanding DeFi ecosystem demand, and attractive staking yields. By handling the transaction with Galaxy Digital’s OTC desk and custody services, Bitmine demonstrates professional execution strategies that mitigate price impact and security risks. Traders should note this move mirrors previous large-scale institutional Ethereum purchases that preceded market rallies. With regulatory scrutiny and market volatility as ongoing considerations, strategies such as dollar-cost averaging and partnering with reputable intermediaries can help individual traders navigate the evolving market. Overall, Bitmine’s Ethereum purchase reflects long-term confidence in Ethereum’s fundamentals and may signal further price appreciation as more institutions enter the crypto space.

Crypto bearish reversal dominates digital assets as XRP, Ethereum and Shiba Inu falter at key resistance. XRP’s rally stalls at $2.55–$2.60, where 50-, 100- and 200-day EMAs converge. Volume plunged and RSI settled at 50, highlighting weak buyer demand. Failure to clear the resistance traps XRP in a midterm downtrend. Ethereum faces similar headwinds. ETH rejected at its 200-day moving average near $3,980 and cannot maintain above $3,550. Declining EMA slopes and an RSI below 45 reflect buyer fatigue. Traders should watch support around $3,300–$3,400 for potential relief. Shiba Inu suffered a false breakout above $0.0000107 at the 50-day EMA. The token dropped over 2.5% on low volume and saw its RSI dip to 45. The pattern of lower highs signals a bearish continuation, with support near $0.0000090 and $0.0000085 in focus. This crypto bearish reversal underscores the importance of resistance zones and momentum indicators. Traders may consider short positions or wait for volume surges to confirm breakouts. Monitoring RSI and EMA confluence can guide entry and exit decisions amid ongoing market volatility.

The MOBU presale has entered Stage 6 at $0.00008388 per token, raising $590,000 so far and positioning itself as a top 100x crypto presale opportunity. The MOBU presale structure rewards early backers with tiered pricing and a referral program offering 15% $MOBU bonuses to both referrer and referee. A $5,000 investment could yield 59 million $MOBU tokens, targeting potential returns of $367,000. Tron (TRX) is trading at $0.2942, up 8.03% over the past month, with a $27.85 billion market cap and 24-hour volume surging 41.4% to $618 million. Stellar (XLM) trades at $0.2979, up 10.03% monthly, with a $9.56 billion market cap and 24-hour volume up 75.2% at $318 million. Traders eye MOBU presale for explosive ROI ahead of public listing, while TRX and XLM showcase steady ecosystem growth and liquidity. This combination of presale momentum and major altcoin rallies underpins a bullish outlook for the broader crypto market.
