Coinbase has launched a new token sale platform that allows retail investors to buy digital tokens before their official listing. The pre-listing token sale platform uses USDC and runs over a fixed one-week window. A fair allocation algorithm replaces first-come, first-served models. Projects must lock tokens for six months after sale. Monthly token sales begin with the blockchain startup Monad’s MON token from Nov. 17–22. Coinbase expects this regulated and transparent model to enhance liquidity, foster community engagement and boost market stability. After the announcement, COIN shares rose 4%, supported by recoveries in Bitcoin and XRP.

Ethereum gas fees have fallen to record lows following the March 2024 Dencun upgrade. Basic transfers now cost just $0.04, token swaps $0.11 and NFT sales $0.19. This cost reduction coincides with a 20% increase in daily active addresses as Layer-2 rollups process nearly 99% of transactions. The drop in Ethereum gas fees has boosted on-chain trading and smart contract activity. Lower fees make transactions more accessible for retail and institutional traders. However, base-layer fee revenue has plunged by 99%, sharply reducing validator rewards. Experts warn that sustained revenue declines may threaten network security and validator incentives. Traders should watch for potential protocol adjustments aimed at balancing low costs with robust economic incentives.

Uniswap has submitted its UNIfication governance proposal, jointly developed by Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation, to activate the long-awaited fee switch on its decentralized exchange. The plan would redirect a portion of trading fees from liquidity providers to the protocol treasury and automatically burn UNI tokens proportional to usage, with an initial on-chain burn of 100 million UNI—approximately 16% of circulating supply—representing fees that would have accrued since launch. Furthermore, around $7.5 million in annualized fees on the upcoming Unichain will fund additional UNI burns, while a 20 million UNI Growth Budget is set aside for grants and ecosystem development. These measures aim to reduce token supply, align protocol revenue with UNI value, bolster liquidity provider incentives and reinforce Uniswap’s leading position in DeFi. Pending community approval, the proposal could reshape UNI’s tokenomics and drive further market dynamics.

Mutuum Finance’s (MUTM) presale has raised $18.55 million to date, lifting its token price from $0.01 to $0.035, a 250% surge across six phases. 45.5% of the 4 billion supply is allocated to presale, with Phase 6 85% sold and a planned listing price of $0.06 offering a discount entry. The DeFi protocol is set to launch on the Sepolia Testnet in Q4 2025, featuring yield-bearing mtTokens, debt tokens, liquidity pools and automated Liquidator bots. Mutuum Finance employs a buy-and-distribute mechanism, staking revenue in a safety module. Its roadmap includes an on-demand USD-pegged stablecoin and Chainlink oracles for real-time price feeds. A 90/100 CertiK audit and a $50,000 bug bounty bolster security. Whales are accumulating, and a leaderboard gamification strategy is driving demand. Analysts forecast a 6–7x increase to $0.20–$0.25 by 2026 if milestones are met. Traders should monitor presale momentum and upcoming testnet release as bullish catalysts for Mutuum Finance.

CleanSpark has launched a $1.15 billion senior convertible bond offering set to close on November 13. The Nasdaq-listed miner expects net proceeds of $1.13 billion (or $1.28 billion with full exercise) to fund bitcoin mining expansion, land and power acquisitions, and build out AI data centers. A $460 million tranche will repurchase common shares at $15.03 each to optimize capital structure. Proceeds will also repay bitcoin-secured debt and cover general corporate expenses. As the world’s second-largest miner with 46.6 EH/s hash rate, CleanSpark is deepening its footprint ahead of the next bitcoin halving. Its move into AI infrastructure aims to diversify revenue and align crypto mining with high-growth AI services. This convertible bond offering follows a $550 million capital raise in December 2024, underscoring CleanSpark’s strategy to balance growth with shareholder returns.

In two recent SEC filings, Strategy increased its Bitcoin treasury with two purchases: 168 BTC at an average $112,051 for $18.8 M and 487 BTC at $102,557 each for $49.9 M. These buys total 655 BTC and lift reserves to 641,692 BTC, worth about $68 B. Since 2020, Strategy has invested $47.5 B at an average cost of $74,079 per BTC, netting $20.5 B in unrealized profit. Both transactions were funded by perpetual preferred shares under the “42/42” plan, which aims to raise $84 B by 2027 via equity and convertible debt. Despite strong institutional adoption of Bitcoin and continued corporate buying, Strategy’s stock has slid 47% from its peak this year. Continued BTC accumulation underscores long-term confidence in Bitcoin and could bolster market stability and price in both the short and long term.

Gemini reported a net loss of $159 million in Q3, driven by one-time IPO costs for its planned Nasdaq listing, including regulatory compliance fees, technology upgrades and advisory charges. Net revenue rose 52% quarter-on-quarter to $49.8 million and more than doubled year-on-year to $50.6 million, powered by a record $16.4 billion trading volume and a booming credit card program. Services revenue, covering staking, custody and card fees, jumped 111% to $19.9 million. Despite strong user growth and diversified fee streams, operating expenses of $171.4 million outpaced revenue. Traders should weigh the credibility boost from a Nasdaq debut against ongoing losses and funding needs. Future performance hinges on cost control, capital efficiency and compliance with public reporting standards.

Bitcoin price surged above $107,000, reaching $107,001.74 on Binance’s USDT pair, marking a new all-time high. The Bitcoin price rally was fueled by accelerating institutional demand, clear regulatory frameworks, favorable macroeconomic conditions, and growing mainstream acceptance. Market depth analysis shows robust buy orders below the $107,000 level, indicating strong support from long-term holders. Technical indicators remain bullish, suggesting that maintaining momentum above $107,000 could pave the way for further gains. However, traders should watch for potential corrections and apply prudent risk management amid prevailing volatility. This milestone underscores Bitcoin’s evolving role as a digital store of value in global finance.

The Senate Agriculture Committee has released a bipartisan discussion draft establishing a new crypto market structure. The bill defines “digital commodity” in law and tasks the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) with formal oversight of spot trading in crypto assets. It introduces customer protections, including segregated funds, disclosure requirements and self-custody safeguards, and mandates platform registration. The draft also calls for CFTC-SEC collaboration to resolve overlaps and secures dedicated funding for CFTC staff and infrastructure. Building on the House-passed CLARITY Act, it aims to enhance transparency, liquidity and resilience in the crypto market structure. The release coincides with new Treasury and IRS guidelines clarifying staking rules for crypto ETPs, reinforcing regulatory certainty for traders.

RentStac RNS has opened a presale to fractionalize rental property income on blockchain. The platform issues 2 billion RNS tokens, with 40% (800 million) allocated across seven stages at $0.025 each, targeting $27.45 million. Early investors receive a 100% bonus, doubling allocations—for example, a $10,000 commitment secures 800,000 RNS. To date, the presale has raised over $650,000. RentStac uses special purpose vehicles (SPVs) to convert registered rental revenue into stablecoin yields, distributing monthly USDC payouts. It features a DAO governance model, staking rewards, and a buyback-and-burn mechanism funded by property income. Security measures include multi-signature wallets, oracle feeds, a 92.48% SolidityScan audit score and an upcoming CertiK audit. By bridging real-world assets with DeFi transparency, RentStac RNS aims to deliver sustainable, revenue-backed growth ahead of the 2026 cycle.

The Milk Mocha $HUGS presale has gone global after a record-fast whitelist sell-out. Priced at $0.0002 per token, the HUGS presale requires no KYC, features unlimited purchases, and caps supply with automatic burns for unsold tokens. Every purchase, staking action and NFT interaction adds further deflationary burns to tighten scarcity. Holders can stake HUGS for up to 60% APY with daily compounding and instant reward withdrawals. An upcoming Milk Mocha NFT collection will allow fans to collect, trade and stake NFTs for bonus APY, priority event access and exclusive community badges. A 10% lifetime referral program and the HugVotes governance model empower the community to shape future staking features, NFT drops and charity initiatives. Analysts project potential 150×–200× returns as HUGS moves toward exchange listings. Roadmap milestones include detailed staking dashboards, seasonal NFT drops, mini-game integrations in the HUGS Play Zone, pair staking for double rewards and artist partnerships. The HUGS presale combines viral branding, real token utility and strong deflationary mechanics—offering traders an early entry before prices climb further.

Bybit is in talks to acquire Korbit, one of South Korea’s oldest crypto exchanges. Industry sources told Maeil Business that Bybit met Korbit executives to discuss buying a 31.5% stake from SK Planet. Korbit declined to comment. Bybit asked investors to await official updates. Regulatory easing by the Korea Financial Intelligence Unit and Financial Services Commission has simplified foreign acquisitions of local crypto exchanges. Bybit’s potential move follows Binance’s recent acquisition of Gopax. The deal would strengthen Bybit’s presence in South Korea’s competitive digital asset market. The acquisition reflects Bybit’s Asia expansion strategy. For crypto traders, it signals intensified competition among global exchanges in the region. The regulatory changes and foreign investments could boost liquidity and trading options. Traders should watch for official announcements and market responses.

Federal jury declared a mistrial in the $25M Ethereum MEV fraud trial against MIT-educated brothers Anton and James Peraire-Bueno. Prosecutors accused them of using MEV bots in a bait-and-switch scheme to manipulate Ethereum transaction ordering and reap maximal extractable value. The defense insisted their actions fell within protocol rules as legal base-stealing. The mistrial in this landmark Ethereum MEV case underscores legal challenges in applying fraud laws to decentralized protocols. The Department of Justice now weighs retrial, plea deal or dismissal amid calls for protocol changes and renewed debate on crypto regulation.

Paris-based hardware wallet provider Ledger reported triple-digit million-dollar revenues in 2025 ahead of the holiday season. The company now secures about $100 billion in bitcoin and is valued at $1.5 billion after its 2023 funding round. CEO Pascal Gauthier said “the money is in New York today for crypto,” as Ledger explores a New York IPO or private fundraising round. The global hardware wallet market is valued at $263 million, driven by security concerns over centralized exchanges. Ledger is also expanding its New York operations and rolling out new features, including an enterprise iOS app, TRON support, and a multisig wallet. This strategic move underlines growing demand for self-custody solutions and could boost long-term bitcoin adoption.

MicroStrategy continued its disciplined Bitcoin accumulation, acquiring 487 BTC last week for approximately $49.9 million at an average price of $102,557 per coin. As of Nov 9, 2025, the company’s BTC holdings total 641,692 coins, purchased since August 2020 for about $47.54 billion at an average cost of $74,079. The Bitcoin reserve is now worth over $68 billion, reflecting a 26.1% year-to-date return and an estimated $20.5 billion paper gain. Alongside recent buys of 397 BTC and 390 BTC, these sustained purchases signal strong institutional demand and could tighten market supply, providing a bullish indicator for traders.

The Bank of England has launched a consultation on GBP stablecoin regulation, open until 10 February 2026, aiming to finalize rules by the second half of 2026. Under the proposal, issuers must back each token with at least 40% held as deposits at the BoE and the remainder in short-term UK government bonds. Systemically important GBP stablecoins may hold up to 95% in gilts during their growth phase, reducing to 60% as they mature. The plan also sets individual holding caps of £20,000 per token and a £10 million limit for businesses, with exemptions for major institutions. HM Treasury will grant systemic status, the BoE will set prudential requirements and liquidity facilities, and the FCA will oversee conduct. Non-systemic stablecoins such as USDT and USDC will remain under FCA regulation only. By clarifying stablecoin regulation, the BoE seeks to align UK policy with global peers and give crypto traders greater certainty while balancing innovation with monetary stability.

MicroStrategy boosted its Bitcoin treasury by acquiring a total of 655 BTC across two ATM-funded transactions. Between October 13–14, the company added 168 BTC at an average price of $112,051 per coin, and between November 3–9, it purchased 487 BTC at an average of $102,557. These buys raise MicroStrategy’s total Bitcoin holdings to 641,692 BTC, with a cumulative cost basis of $47.54 billion (average $74,079). Both acquisitions were financed through its at-the-market (ATM) share issuance program, which still has $4.61 billion in remaining capacity under its “42/42” equity plan. Despite continued Bitcoin accumulation, MSTR shares have diverged: they rose 2.33% to $296.61 after the October purchase but later fell to a year-to-date low of $222.34 on November 7, trading around $250.60 pre-market and down 16% YTD. The reduced buying pace and recent Bitcoin price retreat have weighed on market sentiment. Traders should monitor MicroStrategy’s ATM issuance schedule, Bitcoin support levels near the average buy‐in prices, and MSTR share performance for potential signs of renewed momentum.

Hashrate price, the expected daily revenue per PH/s, has plunged from over $62 to about $42 since July and is nearing the critical $40 level. This collapse is squeezing Bitcoin mining operations. Small and inefficient miners are powering down rigs as electricity and maintenance costs exceed earnings. ASIC makers like Bitdeer have turned to self-mining to offset weaker demand and declining hardware orders. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin network’s hashpower has climbed past 1 ZH/s even as block rewards fell to 3.125 BTC after the 2024 halving. Rising energy costs and high hardware capex have further narrowed profit margins. In response, major mining firms are diversifying into AI compute services. Cipher Mining signed a $5.5 billion, 15-year agreement with AWS. IREN secured a $9.7 billion GPU contract with Microsoft. Bitcoin’s price has also slid from October peaks above $126,000 to below $100,000. Heavy selling by long-term holders and leveraged liquidations have deepened the downturn. Analysts warn that bearish conditions could persist, marking a crucial turning point for miner profitability and business models. The ongoing slump in hashrate price underscores the sector’s urgent need to adapt.

Bitcoin power-law model sets a long-term fair value at $142,000 and forecasts an upper bound of $512,000 by December 2025. Since March 2024, BTC price has tracked this fair value line in a rare “compressed spring” pattern that historically triggers sharp rallies or brief dips near the lower band around $50,000 before surging. Institutional inflows into Bitcoin exchange-traded products remain positive, while higher post-halving mining costs are prompting miners to hold coins. Long-term holders have resumed accumulation after recent volatility, underlining renewed confidence in the market. However, some institutions have tempered expectations. Galaxy Research cut its 2025 forecast from $180,000 to $120,000 after October’s crash, and Ark Invest’s Cathie Wood trimmed her long-term target, citing stablecoin competition and macro risks. Traders should watch BTC’s price action around the power-law fair value line, volatility levels, regulatory developments, and capital flows to time entries and manage risk. Tracking the Bitcoin power-law model’s fair value line has historically offered traders clear signals for entry and exit points.

Italian banks, led by the Italian Banking Association, have endorsed the ECB’s digital euro project while urging a multi-year cost-sharing plan to offset high implementation expenses. The ECB’s Governing Council approved a 2027 pilot and aims for a 2029 full rollout, pending EU legislation in 2026. MEP Fernando Navarrete suggested a scaled-down digital euro to safeguard private schemes like Wero. ABI head Marco Elio Rottigni proposed a dual-track approach that pairs the central bank’s digital euro with bank-issued digital currencies. Last month, the ECB signed framework agreements with seven tech firms, including Feedzai and Giesecke+Devrient, to develop fraud detection, offline payments and alias lookup features. Traders should monitor pilot outcomes, regulatory milestones and cost models for their potential influence on banking liquidity and digital asset markets.

The Gujarat CID’s Cyber Crime Centre has dismantled a ₹200 crore USDT laundering network operating on BitGet and Binance. Surat resident Chetan Gangani was arrested for converting proceeds from 386 cyber fraud cases into USDT using nearly 100 mule bank accounts. Over four months, he facilitated ₹10 crore in transactions and earned a 0.10% commission per deal. Investigators traced fund flows through seven layers, uncovering transfers to Pakistan and Dubai and locating over ₹25 crore in a Pakistan-based Binance wallet. The case highlights the role of USDT in obscuring money trails. Authorities warn crypto traders to verify investment offers, monitor for USDT laundering risks, and report suspicious activity to the national cybercrime portal.

The presidential pardon of Binance CZ by former President Donald Trump has officially closed Changpeng Zhao’s legal chapter on anti-money laundering (AML) violations. Zhao, who pleaded guilty to DOJ charges in November 2023 and served four months in prison after Binance’s $4.3 billion fine, received the unexpected pardon in October 2025, expunging his record. He denies any business or personal ties to the Trump family or the World Liberty Financial project and confirms no meetings occurred to arrange the pardon. Trump said he knew Zhao’s crypto-involved sons but not Zhao himself. Traders will monitor how this Binance CZ pardon affects Binance’s regulatory standing and market reputation.

Ozak AI’s $OZ token presale has raised over $3.97 million in Phase 6 at $0.012 per token, up from the initial $0.001 price. More than 964 million $OZ tokens have been sold, and Phase 7 is set at $0.014, offering an immediate 16.7% gain. With a fixed supply of 10 billion tokens—30% for presales along with governance, staking and fee discounts—analysts forecast the $OZ token will reach $0.50 by 2026 (500× growth) and $1.00 by 2030 (1,000× growth). The token powers the Ozak AI ecosystem, enabling real-time predictive analytics, cross-chain transactions and optimized smart contracts. Partnerships with Phala Network and AIxBlock bolster privacy AI infrastructure and GPU training. Listed on CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko, the project gains market visibility. Traders should monitor presale phases, liquidity events and milestones to shape trading strategies. This crypto presale’s price forecast and market sentiment will influence trading decisions.

On November 9, XRP formed a death cross on the daily chart as its 50-day moving average fell below the 200-day moving average, confirming a sustained downtrend. The price dropped below the $2.40 support level and now trades near $2.26, with resistance clustered at $2.50–$2.60. The RSI around 40 and declining volume signal weak buying momentum. Historically, similar death cross setups have led to 15–20% drawdowns, suggesting potential downside toward $1.90. Short-term traders may adopt bearish or cautious positions, while long-term holders could view deeper dips as accumulation opportunities if Ripple’s fundamentals improve. A renewed surge in volume or positive regulatory news is needed to break above key moving averages and invalidate this bearish outlook.

Russian crypto fraudster Roman Novak and his wife Anna were abducted in early October in the Hatta region of the UAE after being lured to a fake investment conference. Believing Novak’s crypto wallets held billions, kidnappers demanded a ransom in cryptocurrency. When the couple refused, they were brutally murdered and dismembered, with remains discovered near a Hatta mall and in the Fujairah desert. CCTV footage, bloodstains, and a hidden knife provided critical evidence. Authorities have arrested seven Russian suspects, including a former police officer and two ex-soldiers, on charges of murder, financial fraud, and illegal asset transfers. Novak, convicted in 2020 for a 730 million-ruble fraud, had marketed the Dubai-based Fintopio platform, selling fake TON tokens and falsely claiming ties to Telegram and Arab royalty. This case shows how a high-profile crypto fraudster remains a target for violent ransom attempts. The couple’s lavish facade hid deep debts and past convictions. Their children have been brought back to Dubai under guardianship. The incident underscores security risks at in-person crypto events and the dangers of KYC data leaks.

Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has denied any involvement with a presidential pardon from Donald Trump, clarifying that he has never met the former U.S. president and that no such pardon exists. Following his November 2023 guilty plea on DOJ charges over anti-money laundering and sanctions violations, CZ voluntarily served a sentence as a first-time non-fraud offender and has no pending indictments. He refuted rumors linking Binance to World Liberty Finance or pre-election negotiations and emphasized the importance of regulatory compliance and transparency. CZ praised proposed frameworks like the Genius Act and urged clearer rules from U.S. regulators, including the SEC, to support mainstream crypto adoption. Market watchers view this clarification as neutral for Binance’s market outlook, noting that legal certainty remains an ongoing issue.

21Shares has submitted an 8(a) amendment to its Form S-1, officially starting the 20-day SEC review clock for its Spot XRP ETF. Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas confirmed the update. The filing comes under Section 8(a) of the Securities Act. If the SEC does not object, the Spot XRP ETF could earn automatic approval. This move mirrors similar amendments by Franklin Templeton, Grayscale and Canary Capital. These coordinated filings underscore growing institutional momentum for a United States-based XRP ETF. Analysts expect trading to begin within weeks, replicating the rapid launch pattern seen with Solana ETFs. XRP’s price surged over 6% to $2.32 on heightened investor interest. Global XRP-linked products like Rex-Osprey, Teucrium’s 2x Long Daily XRP and Purpose’s spot ETFs already manage hundreds of millions in assets. Approval of a U.S. Spot XRP ETF would expand market liquidity and broaden institutional adoption. Traders should watch for any SEC objections before the deadline. A smooth approval could trigger further bullish momentum. Conversely, delays may cap short-term gains in the XRP market.

Stripe-backed Tempo led a $25 million funding round for Commonware on November 8, 2025. The deal integrates Commonware’s open-source library into high-performance crypto infrastructure. It aims to accelerate blockchain payments by achieving sub-250 millisecond transaction finality on a permissionless network. Commonware, founded in 2024, is already profitable with seven staff and four clients. Each client pays over €0.85 million annually for deployment and support. The fresh capital, above its $63 million seed valuation, strengthens its cryptographic and consensus components under real-world conditions. Since September, Tempo has grown from five to around 50 employees. It has added ETH researcher Dankrad Feist and acquired Ithaca to expand its developer ecosystem. Backed at a $5 billion valuation, Tempo and partners Stripe and Paradigm aim to challenge Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) in stablecoin and cross-border payments. Traders should monitor this partnership. Faster transaction finality and enhanced blockchain payments infrastructure may shift volume away from existing chains. This development could affect fee dynamics on Ethereum and Solana and reshape the stablecoin payments market.

Hyperliquid is a high-performance Layer 1 decentralized exchange specializing in non-custodial perpetual futures trading. This HYPE price forecast for 2025–2030 examines drivers such as trading volume, on-chain liquidity and broader DeFi trends. The native token, HYPE, powers governance, fee discounts and platform incentives. The protocol’s low-latency matching engine, capital-efficient central limit order book and new trading pairs differentiate it from GMX and dYdX. Analysts outline three scenarios for 2025—conservative stability, moderate growth via platform upgrades and bullish market conditions, and aggressive gains driven by mass adoption and partnerships. These scenarios shape the HYPE price prediction, with a realistic chance for a new all-time high by 2026 if Hyperliquid sustains development and user growth. From 2027 to 2030, long-term success hinges on regulatory clarity, scalability improvements and DeFi competition. Traders should monitor on-chain metrics, platform developments, Bitcoin halving cycles and risks like volatility, security issues and regulatory shifts. The HYPE price hinges on platform developments and DeFi market momentum. Overall, Hyperliquid’s innovative architecture and growing fundamentals support a bullish outlook, but prudent risk management remains essential.
