Canary Capital’s Form 8-A filing with Nasdaq marks a potential spot XRP ETF debut as soon as Thursday. This could be the first US-listed spot ETF for XRP, offering regulated exposure without self-custody. Following similar trajectories for Bitcoin spot ETFs, the XRP ETF announcement has driven XRP’s price up 8% to $2.44. Traders anticipate institutional inflows from the ETF spreading beyond XRP. Rotation plays include Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER), a Layer 2 presale token addressing BTC’s scalability; Maxi Doge (MAXI), a meme coin with gamified staking; and Ethereum (ETH), the market’s liquidity backbone. Each asset stands to benefit from renewed market activity. Bitcoin Hyper offers high-throughput transactions and staking rewards. Maxi Doge combines community incentives with yield, while ETH captures programmatic demand and on-chain yield. As the XRP ETF filing tests the SEC’s new crypto ETP framework, crypto traders are positioning for both large-cap stability and high-beta gains. While short-term XRP momentum may fuel trading opportunities, long-term market structure improvements could underpin broader institutional adoption.

Evernorth CEO Asheesh Birla has confirmed an open-ended XRP accumulation plan, with an initial $1 billion treasury serving as a starting milestone rather than a cap. The firm will employ active management strategies across traditional finance and DeFi to generate yield, which will be fully reinvested into XRP to maximize token holdings per share. Birla outlined plans to list Evernorth under the ticker XRPN on Nasdaq in Q1 2026, making institutional and retail exposure as simple as buying stock. Key backers include SBI, Ripple and Arrington Capital, which will help unlock Asian markets. The program leverages multiple market routes, enhanced liquidity and on-ledger DeFi protocols like Flare, with Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin expected to facilitate seamless capital flows. Birla highlighted favorable regulatory developments such as the Genius Act and Clarity Act prospects, asserting that a well-regulated environment spurs innovation. With risk tools in place, Evernorth expects to support XRP accumulation through market cycles and sustain demand over the long term.

Solana price is trading above $160 after testing a low of $150 on Tuesday. Growing demand and tight supply could push the SOL price towards the $200 psychological level. The derivatives market has yet to fully recover since the October 10 deleveraging event that liquidated $19 billion in crypto assets. Futures open interest rose to $17.63 billion on Wednesday from $7.7 billion on Tuesday, signalling renewed retail interest. On the daily chart, Solana price faces resistance at $188 and $200, with support at $150 and $144. The RSI at 40 suggests fading bearish momentum, while a crossover in the MACD line could trigger a buy signal. If the RSI moves above 50 and the MACD confirms a bullish signal, SOL could break out by 22% to hit $200. Conversely, failure to recover may see it retest $144.

Whale activity has intensified selling pressure on XRP after over 90 million tokens were offloaded in just 72 hours. The sudden spike in large transfers has driven $16.8 million in exchange inflows, signaling potential liquidation ahead of market rebounds. On-chain metrics point to growing caution: the Network Value to Transactions (NVT) ratio has surged 104% to 129.02, suggesting XRP’s market value is outpacing real transaction demand, while Open Interest has fallen 8.6% to $1.17 billion as traders close leveraged positions. Technically, XRP remains trapped in a descending channel between $2.20 and $2.65. A decisive break above $2.65 could target $3.12 and $3.60, but repeated rejections at the upper trendline may drive prices back toward support. With renewed whale selling and elevated NVT, short-term sentiment is cautious. Traders should monitor exchange inflows and Open Interest for signs of reversal or continued pressure before positioning for a potential rebound.

Franklin Templeton has expanded its tokenized fund platform to Digital Asset’s Canton Network, enabling institutional investors to settle and manage tokenized fund shares across permissioned ledgers. The tokenized fund platform first launched on Ethereum in 2022 and now supports cross-network settlement and asset servicing via Canton Network’s privacy-preserving infrastructure. Franklin Templeton plans to pilot tokenized shares of its Institutional U.S. Government Money Market Fund using DAML smart contracts. The move leverages Digital Asset’s interoperability layer to streamline near-real-time settlement and reduce operational friction. By adding Canton Network, the asset manager enhances its tokenization strategy, opening the door for future expansions into new asset classes and networks. This update underscores growing institutional interest in blockchain-based fund products.

Dan Tapiero, CEO of 10T Holdings, said Bitcoin remains in a strong bull cycle despite recent sharp corrections. His latest Bitcoin price prediction expects BTC to hit a peak of $180,000, driven by stablecoin growth, rising institutional adoption, and clearer regulation. However, Tapiero warned of a possible 70% market correction after the peak, recalling the 90% drop in BTC and ETH during the 2018 cycle. He noted heavy selling from long-term “OG whales” and current risk-off sentiment but remains optimistic. In his long-term forecast, Tapiero projects that Bitcoin could add $1 million in value over the next decade. This outlook offers traders a high-risk, high-reward scenario: a significant rally followed by a deep correction. (This is not investment advice.)

Bitcoin is approaching a potential death cross as its 50-day moving average nears a crossover below the 200-day average. At present, BTC trades around $104,880 after dipping to $102,422 following October’s flash crash. This would be the fourth death cross since 2023, following events in September 2023, August 2024 and April 2025. On-chain data from Glassnode show key cost-basis quantiles at $100,600 (0.75) and $108,500 (0.85), which have historically acted as support and resistance. A break below $100,600 could trigger further downward pressure, while a move above $108,500 may signal renewed bullish momentum. Traders will also watch resistance levels at $111,000 and $116,000 for potential volatility. Historical patterns suggest that death crosses often mark local bottoms, offering contrarian buying opportunities. However, as the 50-day MA descends, confirmation of the Bitcoin death cross could prompt short-term bearish sentiment. In the medium term, $100,000–$108,000 is viewed as a crucial support zone. Traders should monitor these technical thresholds alongside broader market drivers, including macroeconomic trends and regulatory developments, to navigate possible price swings effectively.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says regulated ICOs have arrived. Coinbase’s new regulated ICO platform launches on November 10. Each month it will host one fully vetted token sale with strict disclosures, insider lock-ups and anti-dumping measures. The first sale is Monad (MON), open November 17–22 on Ethereum and Solana. Hougan forecasts that compliant ICOs could raise billions by 2026, rivaling the $33 billion raised in 176 US IPOs during 2024. Regulated ICOs promise lower costs, faster execution and equitable token distribution. Traders should watch the platform rollouts and consider diversifying exposure. The rise of ICO 2.0 may ignite the next crypto bull run, but market volatility and evolving regulation pose risks.

A leading fintech company has joined forces with a top blockchain firm to roll out a comprehensive blockchain integration across its financial services. The partnership aims to modernize traditional finance by embedding secure, tamper-proof ledgers into transaction and asset management processes. Key objectives include faster settlement times, lower transaction costs and enhanced data transparency. Stakeholders believe this blockchain integration will set new industry standards and drive broader adoption of digital finance solutions. The collaboration is expected to benefit institutions and retail traders alike, offering a scalable model that could be replicated across the sector. As financial markets increasingly embrace digital transformation, this alliance highlights a clear shift toward more efficient, secure and cost-effective financial operations.

Bank of England sets out new stablecoin regulation to curb deposit flight and boost financial stability. The framework caps individual holdings at £10,000 and corporate holdings at £10 million. Issuers must hold 40% of reserves as non-interest deposits at the BoE and invest the remaining 60% in short-term UK government bonds. Aimed at systemic stablecoins used in payments, these measures draw on the 2023 USDC depeg and Silicon Valley Bank collapse. HM Treasury will designate systemic tokens under the Banking Act, with the FCA overseeing non-systemic tokens for trading. The proposals align UK stablecoin regulation with the US GENIUS Act and pave the way for faster, cheaper retail and cross-border digital payments. Traders should monitor how these rules affect stablecoin liquidity and market dynamics.

Ethereum price analysis shows ETH trading inside a descending parallel channel after failing to sustain above the $3.6K–$3.7K resistance block. The asset now retests the lower boundary and the 200-day moving average at around $3.3K, a key support level. A daily close below this moving average risks a drop to the $3.0K–$3.1K demand zone, where significant liquidity awaits. Conversely, reclaiming $3.6K would confirm the bullish recovery structure and could open the path toward the $3.9K–$4.0K supply zone. On shorter timeframes, ETH broke below a local ascending channel, with the $3.45K–$3.5K area now acting as resistance. Momentum indicators, including a sub-50 RSI, reflect weakening strength. A clean break above $3.6K or below $3.3K will likely drive the next directional move. Traders should watch these liquidity zones closely to gauge potential bull or bear triggers.

Since mid-October, XRP whales have offloaded nearly 1.4 billion tokens—worth around $3.38 billion—into the market. Large addresses holding over 1 billion XRP dumped 1.10 billion in a single week. Subsequent sell-offs saw wallets with 100,000 to 10 million XRP unload 70 million coins in 48 hours and an additional 140 million shortly after. Early November saw more distribution: holders of 100 million–1 billion XRP sold 900,000 tokens, and 1 million–10 million holders dumped 500,000. A recent wave added 90 million XRP to exchange reserves, notably on Binance. The spike in circulating supply and growing exchange balances suggest a bearish outlook for XRP. Traders should monitor whale wallet movements, exchange flows and the upcoming spot XRP ETF decision, which could trigger further volatility.

On-chain data shows long-term Bitcoin holders have sold nearly 300,000 BTC (about $33 billion) since July 2025, shifting ownership quietly to institutional buyers. Major spot Bitcoin ETFs from BlackRock and Fidelity now hold around 1.4 million BTC ($139 billion AUM). After a $2.9 billion outflow in October, ETF inflows rebounded with $300 million entering within 72 hours. These institutional inflows have stabilized the crypto market, keeping BTC trading between $95,000 and $106,000 and reducing volatility to 35%, roughly half its historical average. Unrealized losses remain minimal at 3.1%. Private deals and ETF setups now absorb most BTC liquidation, challenging traditional cycle theory: post-halving gains have been just 41% versus historical post-halving rallies above 150%. Analysts highlight resistance at $107,000–$118,000 due to ongoing distribution, with support near $88,500. A sustained hold above $100,000 backed by steady Bitcoin ETF demand could trigger the next bull leg, while a break below may test lower support.

UpMuun has integrated StealthEX’s non-custodial exchange engine into its all-in-one crypto wallet and portfolio dashboard. Users can now perform instant crypto swaps of over 2,000 coins and tokens directly within the UpMuun app, eliminating transfers to external platforms. The integration supports both fixed and floating rate options, giving traders control over volatility risk.

This crypto swap integration strengthens UpMuun’s position as a unified crypto management platform, combining secure wallet storage, advanced portfolio tracking, and seamless trading. By reducing friction and enhancing security, this update could boost on-chain volume and improve market access for altcoins and DeFi tokens. Crypto traders benefit from streamlined workflows and expanded asset access, making portfolio rebalancing and opportunistic crypto swaps more efficient. This move underlines the growing trend towards integrated, non-custodial services in decentralized finance.

US spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a net inflow of $524 million on Tuesday, the largest single-day amount since early October. The surge reflects renewed investor confidence following the early-October crypto crash and the US Senate’s funding bill to end the government shutdown. Institutional investors and “smart money” traders have increased long positions, signalling optimism for Bitcoin’s recovery. Bitcoin is trading near $105,000, supported by purchases from major players like Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy. On-chain data show smart money added $8.5 million in net long BTC positions in 24 hours, despite remaining net short on some platforms. Analysts view the correction as healthy, resetting leverage ahead of further institutional participation. Cooling inflation data could also trigger a liquidity-driven rebound. In altcoin ETF news, Bitwise’s proposed Chainlink ETF (ticker CLNK) appeared on the DTCC registry in “pre-launch” status, marking a key step toward SEC approval. With new SEC listing standards and an end to the government shutdown, more spot ETFs for altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Dogecoin, Aptos, Avalanche and Hedera could follow soon.

Neutron, a global provider of Bitcoin Lightning infrastructure, and Vietnam’s FinFan have formed a strategic partnership to deploy Lightning Network rails nationwide. The collaboration delivers instant, low-cost Lightning Network settlement for banks, fintech platforms, and payment service providers, addressing growing demand for real-time cross-border payouts, merchant settlements, and digital income flows into Vietnam. The integration features compliance-ready APIs, enterprise-grade audit controls, and scalable wallet services. By combining Neutron’s internet-native global rails with FinFan’s local licensing and regulatory expertise, the initiative aims to set a new standard for efficient value transfer. Institutions interested in modernizing payment infrastructure can explore deployment timelines and tailored use cases.

SoFi Bank has integrated spot cryptocurrency trading directly into its mobile banking app, allowing customers to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) 24/7. Trades incur a flat 1.25% fee on each transaction, with no minimum investment requirement. This move, powered by a partnership with Paxos for custody and settlement, brings crypto trading under FDIC protection for USD holdings. Early access began with a beta release for select users; full rollout is expected by Q1 2024. By embedding crypto services into everyday banking, SoFi aims to accelerate mainstream adoption of digital assets and compete with dedicated crypto platforms. The integration underscores growing institutional support for Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially boosting liquidity and market stability.

Internet Computer (ICP) price eased 0.65% to $6.30 on November 12, settling into a measured ICP consolidation phase above key support at $5.79. Trading volume rose 18% above the 30-day average, with a peak 77% surge during resistance tests near $6.67. Despite the minor pullback, technical analysis shows the token retaining its broader bullish momentum after a 235% rally last week. The hourly price structure between $6.55 and $6.37 highlights a controlled digestion of gains rather than renewed selling pressure. Traders will watch for a decisive break above $6.67 to target $7.00 or a failure to hold $6.35 for a potential retest of $5.79 support. The current ICP consolidation suggests stability and balanced institutional participation.

William Blair has reiterated its “Outperform” rating on Circle (CRCL) after stronger-than-expected Q3 results and spotlights USDC as a leading stablecoin poised to replace fiat in cross-border B2B payments. The bank noted a 101-fold rise in 12-month payment volume to an annualized $3.4 billion and lifted 2025 transaction revenue guidance to $90 million–$100 million. It forecasts USDC’s market cap nearing $150 billion by 2027, driving Circle’s adjusted EBITDA above $1 billion. Circle’s infrastructure—Circle Payments Network (CPN) and the Arc layer-1 blockchain—should diversify revenue and fuel growth. Key risks include slower stablecoin adoption and potential US regulation under the GENIUS Act. William Blair also highlights Coinbase (COIN) as a strategic USDC partner set to benefit from this expansion.

Astar Network, a Polkadot parachain, has unveiled its Tokenomics 3.0 roadmap to enhance its native token, ASTR. Key changes include replacing the current inflationary model with a fixed cap of 10.5 billion ASTR, followed by a “burndrop” event that lets holders burn tokens for Startale ecosystem allocations. The network plans to launch the Startale App in early 2026 – a multichain “super app” for managing ASTR across chains, supporting payments and ecosystem interactions. Later this year, Astar will integrate with Polkadot Asset Hub Plaza, adding EVM compatibility and Ethereum bridging for greater liquidity and cross-chain staking and voting. Governance will shift to a community-led model by mid-2026 with councils, contributor programs and an Ambassador Fellowship Program to reward active members. Founder Sota Watanabe says the roadmap aims to create a leaner, fairer and more utility-driven network. These updates could boost token stability, scarcity and value, positioning ASTR as a cornerstone of Astar’s long-term Web3 infrastructure.

A recent poll on social platform X found that over 80% of respondents do not consider the Lightning Network as “real” Bitcoin. The Lightning Network was designed to enable faster, low-fee micro-transactions off-chain, but critics argue it falls short of Bitcoin’s core principles. Paul Sztorc described Lightning as “custodial” and highlighted issues with always-online nodes, reliance on large liquidity providers and watchtowers for security. In response, Alex Gladstein defended the Lightning Network’s role in making Bitcoin function as digital cash, and developer Matt Corallo noted that a significant portion of small payments—well into double-digit percentages of BTC transactions—now occur on Lightning. The poll reignites debate over Bitcoin’s on-chain versus off-chain scaling solutions and their impact on decentralization and usability.

On November 12, Bybit Megadrop officially listed XRP and launched its latest airdrop event. Users can stake assets like MNT, BBSOL and RLUSD to subscribe to principal-protected, risk-free financial products. In return, participants receive XRP token airdrops proportional to their stake. Bybit Megadrop’s innovative model guarantees no loss of principal and zero market risk, while offering better yields compared to traditional airdrops. This event marks a significant step in how airdrops can be structured in the crypto market. Traders can leverage the XRP airdrop to optimize portfolio returns with minimal risk. The initiative is poised to boost XRP liquidity and may attract more users to Bybit Megadrop’s platform.

U.S. Treasury Chief Janet Yellen said the economy was strong before the recent government shutdown and described the shutdown as a temporary hiccup. She signaled that in the coming days the administration will unveil major tariff cuts and exemptions, including tariff relief on coffee, bananas and other fruits. Yellen forecast that U.S. consumer confidence and economic conditions will improve in Q1 and Q2 of next year, with actual incomes rebounding. She reiterated that large-scale tax rebates will be distributed in early 2026 through multiple channels still under discussion. Yellen’s remarks follow former President Trump’s proposal of $2,000 rebates for households earning under $100,000. Traders will watch for details on the tariff cuts and rebate policy as potential catalysts for shifts in fiscal impact and market sentiment.

XRP price rebounded above $2.40 after bulls defended the critical $2.35 support level. The coin retested its 50-day EMA at $2.55 earlier in the week but pulled back to the current $2.44. Technical indicators remain mixed: the daily RSI sits slightly below 50, while the MACD shows a bullish crossover. Market participants anticipate a major catalyst from a potential SEC approval of a spot ETF around November 13, driving fresh capital inflows. Structural factors also support XRP’s outlook, including Ripple’s recent $500 million strategic investment and a $40 billion valuation, signaling confidence from institutional players like Citadel and Fortress. If XRP sustains above $2.35, it could retest $2.55 and extend toward $2.70. Conversely, a break below $2.35 risks a drop to the next support at $1.96.

Developers often treat AI pair programmer tools as if they were human colleagues. This misleads teams. An AI pair programmer does not understand. It recognizes patterns and generates code. Users must provide precise prompts and clear context. Clarify constraints and success criteria. Require diffs and run tests. Ask the AI pair programmer to restate problems for confirmation. Validate outputs before integrating changes. Treat models like compilers, not coworkers. This reduces mistakes and elevates developer productivity and code quality.

ZCash has plunged 36.8% over the past five days following a rapid 323% rally from $177 to $750. Trading around $473, ZCash price faces high short-term volatility and potential further downside. Technical analysis on the 4-hour chart shows the RSI at 40.9 and a bearish On-Balance Volume, while Fibonacci retracement levels highlight key supports at $463.50 (50%), $395.90 (61.8%), and $299.60 (78.6%). The 1-hour timeframe reveals a bearish structure and a supply zone between $475 and $518. A decisive break above $518 on above-average volume could signal a bullish reversal, but failure to reclaim this level risks deeper retracements toward $395 or lower. Liquidation heatmaps also point to clusters at $400–$420 and $520–$540, underscoring market pressure. Traders should maintain a short-term bearish bias until $518 flips to support.

Cardano death cross formed on the daily chart as the 9-day SMA crossed below the 26-day SMA. ADA fell 1.2% to $0.57, extending its two-month decline. Large holders sold 140 million ADA in two weeks, adding to pressure. The broader market also weakened, with Bitcoin down 8.2% in November 2025. The Cardano death cross often precedes extended downtrends. Key support lies at $0.55–$0.56. While the RSI at 55 is not yet oversold, a rise above 60 could trigger a rebound if Bitcoin stabilizes. Traders should note that breaking below $0.55 may open the door to deeper losses. Monitoring on-chain whale activity and broader crypto sentiment is crucial. Short-term caution is advised, though stabilization around demand zones might offer bounce opportunities.

Crypto commentator mickle has warned XRP holders about evolving threats to Ledger security. In a video posted on X, he advised users to treat their Ledger hardware wallet as a sealed vault and to avoid all non-essential interactions—never connecting, opening, or updating it unnecessarily. This operational security advice aims to reduce exposure to multidimensional attack vectors, including malware, phishing, social engineering scams, and counterfeit hardware. Experts emphasize that hardware wallet security depends not only on device technology but also on disciplined user behavior. To enhance Ledger security, users should buy devices from official channels, initialize them offline, and safeguard recovery phrases. For long-term XRP storage, minimal transfers and strict operational security are critical to stay ahead of cyber threats and maintain cold storage integrity.
