Latest Crypto News | Bitcoin, Ethereum and Altcoin Updates

Bitfinex analysts warn that Bitcoin may trade sideways in November despite its historical bullishness. After a 3.6% October decline triggered by the October 11 crash, Bitcoin faces a crucial $116,000 resistance. Failing to reclaim this level could test bulls’ patience and prolong consolidation. Analysts cite an uncertain macroeconomic environment, mixed Fed signals and waning investor confidence as headwinds. Potential catalysts include moderate inflation data, dovish Fed guidance, ETF approvals, institutional inflows and improved global liquidity. Without these triggers, Bitcoin is unlikely to sustain a rally and may remain range-bound through November.

Crypto markets consolidated today as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) dipped under 1%, while privacy tokens led gains. Decred (DCR) soared 22%, Dash (DASH) rose 4.5% and Monero (XMR) added 3.4%, pushing total market capitalization down 0.6% to $3.51 trillion after last week’s low of $3.32 trillion. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index fell to 26, signaling “fearful” conditions that have previously preceded rebounds. Derivatives metrics highlighted elevated volatility: the 30-day implied Bitcoin volatility index (BVIV) held near 50%, annualized funding rates for BTC and ETH remained below average, and open interest shifted—rising 1–2% in tokens like HYPE, BCH and SOL, while ETH, XRP and BNB saw declines. Solana (SOL) futures basis on the CME dropped to 7%, matching BTC and ETH levels. Options data signaled near-term bearish sentiment, and block trades included a BTC put spread and lifted calls in ETH. In altcoins, canton (CC) jumped 20%, but major tokens XRP and Binance Coin (BNB) fell 1–2%, and SOL slid 3.6%. The average market RSI of 51 indicates neutrality. All eyes remain on the potential US government reopening, which could trigger policy changes and spark fresh volatility.

Seasonal trends point to a December “Santa rally” in Bitcoin, historically delivering up to 40% gains. When BTC leads, meme coins often follow within days. Here are the top three meme coins positioned to benefit: 1. Maxi Doge (MAXI): A high-energy token with 77% APY staking rewards. Its ongoing presale has raised $3.9 million at just $0.0002675 per token. Nearly half the supply is earmarked for marketing, driving degen demand for “max gainz.” 2. Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER): A Bitcoin Layer 2 network with SVM architecture and ZK settlement. Its presale has attracted $26.9 million, pricing tokens at $0.013255 each. Staking offers 43% APY, and governance rights unlock future network features. 3. Official Trump (TRUMP): A politically themed coin with a $1.5 billion market cap. Trading on Binance and OKX, it has surged 25% over 30 days, reaching highs near $9.50. Deep liquidity makes TRUMP a high-beta outlet for momentum traders. Given Bitcoin’s December strength and increased risk appetite, these meme coins could see accelerated inflows. This content is educational and not financial advice.

China’s National Computer Virus Emergency Response Center (CVERC) accuses the US of orchestrating a $13 billion Bitcoin hack in December 2020, siphoning over 127,000 BTC from the LuBian mining pool. According to CVERC, the discreet transfers and state-level coordination indicate a sophisticated Bitcoin hack rather than ordinary cybercrime. US authorities reject the claims, stating the assets were legally seized under money-laundering charges against Chinese national Chen Zhi. Blockchain forensics firms attribute the loss to weak security at LuBian, including a flawed random number generator that allowed brute-forcing of private keys. The stolen BTC remained dormant for years before appearing in US-identified wallets. The dispute heightens US-China tensions over crypto security and cross-border regulation. Traders should watch regulatory actions, geopolitical risks, and potential market volatility.

Chainlink’s native token LINK fell over 7% in 24 hours, trading near $15.36 after an intraday low of $15.20. Trading volume dropped by 20%, and LINK now sits below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, signaling weak momentum. Meanwhile, the Bitwise Chainlink ETF (ticker CLNK) was added to the DTCC eligibility list, a standard procedural step for clearing and settlement. However, this listing does not imply SEC approval, which remains pending amid the U.S. government shutdown. Futures open interest for LINK on major platforms like Binance and Bybit also declined, reflecting reduced short-term trader activity. While the DTCC milestone marks progress for the Bitwise Chainlink ETF, actual launch depends on final regulatory green light. If approved, the ETF could attract institutional capital and strengthen Chainlink’s market position. Until then, LINK price momentum is likely to stay subdued.

The crypto market edged lower on Nov. 12 as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices dipped amid sustained trading activity. BTC fell 0.05% to $104.87K, while ETH declined 0.31% to $3,546.50. Overall market cap stood at $3.52 trillion, down 0.55%, with 24-hour spot volume at $186.78 billion (−0.12%) and derivatives volume at $196.23 billion. Global open interest reached $87.69 billion, reflecting steady trader engagement. Ethereum gas fees remained low, averaging 0.346 Gwei. Among top altcoins, ATOM gained 1.67% to $3.07 and FTT inched up 0.02% to $0.77, while SOL (−2.08%), AVAX (−0.84%) and BNB (−0.69%) led losses. A total of 18,833 cryptocurrencies traded across 54 exchanges.

Recent CryptoQuant data shows Bitcoin Stablecoin Supply Ratio (SSR) has fallen to its historical lower range of 13, matching levels seen at mid-2021 and early 2024 market bottoms. Concurrently, Binance’s Bitcoin/Stablecoin Reserve Ratio indicates rising stablecoin reserves and shrinking BTC holdings, signaling growing buyer liquidity on the sidelines. Bitwise research highlights short-term holder exhaustion at its lowest since August 2023—conditions that preceded a 190% surge to $74,000. On-chain MVRV metrics also point to a bottom near $98,000. Technically, Bitcoin trades within a falling wedge pattern, with a daily close above $107,000 likely to clear the path for a rally toward $124,000. Risk indicators have shifted to a low-risk regime, easing selling pressure. Together, these on-chain and liquidity signals suggest Bitcoin may have bottomed, setting the stage for the next bullish leg. Traders should watch for reclaiming $108,500–$110,000 to confirm upward momentum.

On November 12, Adrena, a Solana-based perpetual contract DEX, announced it is entering maintenance mode effective immediately. The team and foundation will cease new feature development, while core services—liquidity pools, staking, unlocking functions, and data feeds—will continue running. Adrena plans to open-source its front- and back-end code, inviting the community to take over development. Over the past year, Adrena achieved $8 billion in trading volume and generated $10 million in fee revenue. The decision follows unsuccessful fundraising and intense market competition. The project emphasizes it never sold team tokens and hopes the community will carry forward its vision.

BNB Chain announced that it will decommission its multi-sig wallet service on November 12, urging all users to migrate to Safe Global to maintain asset security. The migration channel is now open. Users must import their existing multi-sig addresses and follow the provided migration guide. Any non-migrated wallets will display a “Base contract is not supported” warning, effectively disabling them. This transition aims to consolidate security features and ensure ongoing support. BNB Chain users should complete the migration promptly to avoid operational disruptions and secure their funds.

Nano price surged 32% to $1.72 on November 12 after daily trading volume spiked over 220%, signalling renewed investor interest in veteran altcoins. Nano price momentum appears robust as the token staged a technical breakout above $1.20 and held $1.48 as new support, driven by aggressive long positioning incentivised by Bybit’s 400% APY leverages and growing social sentiment around “dino coins” rally. Other veteran cryptos such as ZEC, DASH, DGB, LSK, VET, ALGO, NEXO and ATOM have also seen fresh momentum amid regulatory clarity and increased institutional acceptance. Nano’s energy-efficient, feeless transaction model continues to attract integrations. Traders are now eyeing a move toward $2—the highest since December 2024—with profit-taking near resistance as the main risk.

MEXC Foundation and Indonesia’s leading exchange TRIV have launched the F.I.R.E Web3 Scholarship to nurture the next generation of blockchain innovators.

Leveraging TRIV’s decade-long local presence and MEXC Foundation’s global education initiatives, the F.I.R.E Web3 Scholarship strengthens Indonesia’s blockchain talent pipeline. By investing in human capital and fostering Web3 innovation, the program aims to position graduates as bridge-builders between academia and the global blockchain ecosystem.

Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group filed a formal statement via Boies Schiller Flexner LLP on November 11, flatly denying involvement in any illicit activity and condemning the U.S.-led $15 billion Bitcoin seizure as illegal. The announcement asserts that neither Prince Group nor its founder Chen Zhi participated in fraud, money laundering or forced-labor schemes. In October, the U.S. Department of Justice indicted Chen Zhi on charges ranging from wire fraud to human trafficking, while the Treasury labeled the firm a transnational criminal organization, freezing assets worldwide. Prince Group has also submitted an emergency motion to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, demanding detailed blockchain tracing evidence to justify the Bitcoin seizure. The group claims most of the 12,700 BTC were stolen during a 2020 hack and that federal authorities have had ample time to trace the funds since July 2024. Outcome hinges on the U.S. government’s ability to prove on-chain links between seized Bitcoin and alleged crimes.

Astar has unveiled its Evolution Phase 2 roadmap, prioritizing scarcity, stability and community participation. Key milestones include a Burndrop proof-of-concept in H2 2025 and a full Burndrop event in 2026, allowing ASTR holders to burn tokens in exchange for future allocations. The network will launch Tokenomics 3.0 with a hard cap of 10.5 billion ASTR and emission decay mechanics, subject to governance approval by early 2026. The Startale App will be integrated as a unified “super-wallet” for ASTR management, governance and ecosystem tools. Cross-chain support will be expanded through Polkadot’s Plaza from late 2025, enabling staking, liquidity provision and governance across Ethereum, Polkadot and Soneium. Astar will also roll out a Community Program in H2 2025, including ambassador and governance fellowships, before transferring foundation functions to on-chain governance by mid-2026. This evolution cements Astar’s commitment to fixed supply, transparent tokenomics and multi-chain interoperability.

On November 26, Coinbase delisting will remove five underperforming tokens—CLV, EOS, LOKA, MUSE and WCFG—after a regular asset review cited low liquidity and limited developer activity. The decision comes amid increased regulatory scrutiny and aims to uphold platform standards. Prices plunged on the announcement, with MUSE tumbling 24%, LOKA down 13% and WCFG off 9%. EOS, rebranded as Vaulta, fell over 15% and has lost 97% from its peak. Coinbase delisting typically reduces market access and trading volumes for affected tokens. At the same time, Coinbase is scouting new listings—BNKR, JITOSOL and MPLX—signalling a focus on institutional-grade assets and market consolidation. Traders should monitor short-term volatility and shifts in liquidity.

Ethereum price is under pressure as trading activity and investor demand weaken. Over the past 24 hours, Ethereum price fell about 3% to around $3,448, trading 30% below its August all-time high. Ethereum’s 24-hour trading volume dropped 12%, while derivatives volume slid 7.5% to $74.95 billion and open interest fell 3.4% to $38.74 billion. On-chain data from DeFiLlama shows monthly DEX volumes on Ethereum dropped from $128 billion in August to $99 billion in October, and total value locked slipped from $85 billion to $75 billion. U.S. spot Ethereum ETF providers recorded $107 million in outflows on Nov. 11, versus $532 million inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. Technical indicators remain cautious: the MACD is negative, RSI sits at 40, and support lies at $3,300 and $3,150–$3,200, with resistance near $3,520–$3,700.

Uniswap price surged 117% from $4.73 to $10.30 after breaking out of a descending channel that had persisted since mid-August. The rally was driven by the “UNIfication” governance proposal, which would enable protocol-level fees for v2 and v3 pools and allocate roughly $38 million monthly to UNI buybacks. Uniswap price retains bullish bias as EMA9 crossed above EMA21 and trading volume spiked. Despite a slight pullback toward the $8.15 support level (0.618 Fib), volume remains elevated. The proposal’s 22-day voting process began on Nov. 11 and is expected to conclude around Dec. 3, potentially reinforcing positive momentum.

Bitcoin has approached a significant inflection point following a break of its 4-hour trendline, with $107,000 identified as a key resistance. The US government’s reopening may inject fresh liquidity via resumed Treasury operations and bond auctions. Upcoming CPI and PPI releases could trigger volatility, but a favorable outcome combined with rising US equities might fuel a sustained Bitcoin rally. Technical indicators reinforce the bullish outlook: the 4-hour Stochastic RSI has crossed up from oversold, confirming a trend breakout, while the daily chart shows price channeling between long-term trendlines. On the 2-week chart, extended Stochastic RSI cycles suggest momentum for further upside, with historical cycles delivering rallies between 70% and 194%. Applying the smallest 70% gain from a ~$100,000 base targets $170,000, while a 100% surge points to $200,000. Traders should watch the retest of the bottom 8-year trendline and the $107,000 resistance for entry opportunities.

Global energy investments are increasingly moving from fossil fuels to renewable sources, driven by environmental goals and the pursuit of sustainable long-term returns. Stakeholders are under growing pressure to address climate change and realign portfolios with eco-friendly strategies. Traditional energy firms are responding by adopting wind, solar and hydroelectric technologies, innovating business models and collaborating with public and private partners. Governments worldwide are enacting supportive policies, and financing for renewable projects is rising. While risk factors persist—such as regulatory changes and technology adoption—industry consensus points to renewable energy as both an environmental necessity and a profitable opportunity.

Barclays and The Manufacturer’s report “Mind the Gap” surveys over 100 UK manufacturers, highlighting that UK manufacturing output per hour is 10% below the G7 average and 16% lower than Germany. 56.4% of UK manufacturing leaders see productivity in decline, citing workforce challenges (56.5%), slow technology adoption (40%) and supply chain inefficiencies (31.3%) as primary factors. Small firms face cost barriers to tech trials, while larger firms note a decade-long lag in digital uptake. Disparities in digital transformation impede real-time efficiency gains. Nearly half of respondents plan to ramp up digital transformation efforts in the next 12 months, with 45% prioritizing upskilling, 29% supply chain optimization and 26% enhanced data management. The report warns that sustained focus on skills, technology adoption and process efficiency is essential to maintain global competitiveness.

ZKsync leads growth in Ethereum Layer-2 privacy tools as institutional adoption accelerates. Matter Labs CEO Alex Gluchowski highlights demand for system-level privacy and zero-knowledge proofs to support private transaction flows with full internal visibility. Regulatory clarity, including the reversal of Tornado Cash sanctions, has boosted confidence in privacy technologies. ZKsync’s new tokenomics proposal and staking pilot drove seven-day fee growth to the top among Layer-2 networks. Production deployments of institutional privacy nodes are expected by year-end, marking a milestone for blockchain settlement.

Bitcoin price found stability around $104,000 after dipping below $100,000 twice last week. Early gains were driven by weekend recovery to $102,000 and US tariff check promises, which propelled BTC to a peak of $107,000 on Tuesday. Sell-offs trimmed bitcoin back to just under $103,000 before bulls regained traction. The market cap of BTC sits below $2.1 trillion, with dominance inching up to 58%. Most large-cap altcoins remain under pressure. Ethereum fell below $3,500, XRP slid to $2.40, and Solana dropped under $160. Dogecoin, Cardano, Zcash, Chainlink, Hype Labs, and Stellar also saw declines. In contrast, ASTER led gainers with an 8% rise to above $1.15. CC climbed 18%, while ICP, MNT, XMR, UNI, and WLFI posted modest gains. Overall crypto market cap dipped by $20 billion to $3.61 trillion.

Ontology’s community has approved a major ONG tokenomics update in an on-chain vote held October 28–31. Node operators backed the proposal with 117.17 million votes and no opposition. The new ONG tokenomics design caps total supply at 800 million, down from 1 billion, and permanently locks 100 million ONG in liquidity pools. Emissions will continue for 19 years at a steady rate of one ONG per second. Eighty percent of new tokens will reward ONT stakers, while the remaining 20%, plus transaction fees, will enhance ecosystem liquidity. These changes aim to deliver predictable emissions, improve staking incentives, and boost long-term network sustainability. The update coincides with the MainNet v3.0.0 upgrade scheduled for December 1, 2025. Node and dApp operators must upgrade by November 27, 2025, though users and stakers need no action. This tokenomics overhaul is designed to drive higher on-chain usage and strengthen Ontology’s decentralized identity infrastructure.

Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden has warned that looser stablecoin regulation could threaten UK financial stability and trigger a credit crunch. In its 9–10 November consultation paper, the BoE proposed caps on stablecoin holdings—£10,000–£20,000 per individual and £10 million for firms—to limit deposit migration into digital tokens. It also requires issuers to hold 40% of reserves in non-interest-bearing deposits at the BoE to ensure liquidity. Citing the 2023 Silicon Valley Bank collapse and Circle’s USDC de-pegging, these stablecoin regulation measures aim to mitigate systemic risk. The consultation runs until 10 February 2026, with final rules due by the end of that year. Critics argue the measures could shift innovation abroad, but the BoE says safeguards are temporary and aligned with upcoming US regulations.
