Coinbase will suspend Ampleforth Governance Token (FORTH) trading on Coinbase.com, Coinbase Exchange and Coinbase Prime at about 2 p.m. ET on November 23, 2026. The exchange said FORTH no longer meets its listing standards but did not specify why. Withdrawals will remain available after trading ends. FORTH is already in limit-only mode on Coinbase, meaning traders can place or cancel limit orders but cannot submit market orders. The move follows Forth DAO’s September 18 vote to wind down. The DAO plans a USDC distribution, with a holder snapshot scheduled for December 1. Coinbase has not said whether exchange-held tokens will qualify, so holders should check the distribution terms and platform policies. Other exchanges have also dropped FORTH, including CoinSpot in October and Binance earlier in 2026. The token has traded around $0.24–$0.35, well below its previous highs. The Coinbase delisting adds liquidity and access risks for FORTH traders, although users can still withdraw their tokens.

Solana Mobile’s dApp Store listed 1,561 applications by June 25, 2026, up from about 700 in March. The store added 96 apps in the week before that date, more than doubling its catalog in roughly three months. The Solana dApp Store is pre-installed on Seeker smartphones, with more than 150,000 devices shipped, and is also available to other Android users through sideloading. Its zero-fee model may appeal to developers building crypto apps and supports payment flows that can be restricted on mainstream mobile platforms. The expansion could increase activity and utility across the Solana ecosystem, but its market impact will depend on whether app listings and Seeker shipments continue to grow. The figures point to ecosystem adoption, not an immediate change in SOL’s price or network activity.

Bitcoin profitability has fallen close to levels last seen in November 2022, despite BTC trading near $82,000. On-chain analyst Amr Taha said the 365-day UTXO Block Profit/Loss Count Ratio average was 13.6 on October 22, 2026, just above its 11.92 reading in November 2022, when Bitcoin traded near $16,000. Holder groups have sharply different cost bases. New whales’ average entry price is about $77,120, leaving them only 6.3% in profit at $82,000. Binance deposit addresses have a realized price of around $64,200, while miner whales and long-term holder whales have lower realized prices of $51,820 and $46,400. Bitcoin’s realized capitalization is still growing, but its 30-day increase slowed to $12.93 billion on October 22. That was below earlier readings of $40 billion and $64 billion in 2025, which preceded a roughly 52% price decline. Meanwhile, BTC supply in profit rose in the third quarter of 2026, its first bullish quarter after a downtrend that began after Q1 2023. The indicators offer mixed signals: weaker profitability and slower capital growth contrast with an improvement in supply in profit.

Albuquerque’s crypto ATM ban is now in effect. Businesses must stop operating crypto ATMs and counter-assisted crypto transactions immediately, and remove the machines by December 5. Violators could face fines of $500 per day, loss of their business licence or closure. The local crypto ATM ban does not restrict residents from holding or mining cryptocurrency, or using online exchanges and personal wallets. The CFTC reported more than $388 million in crypto ATM scam losses in 2025. The measure targets local transaction services rather than cryptocurrency markets or ownership.

BWET rose 11.2% over 24 hours to 886.54 USDT, according to data from MSX.COM. The report did not provide a reason for the move or further details on trading volume. The sharp gain may draw short-term trader attention to BWET, but the available information does not establish whether the momentum will continue.

XRP whale inflows to Binance averaged $112.4 million in the month, the highest level since March and above the roughly $90 million average of the previous three months, according to analyst Darkfost. The figure measures transfers involving more than 1 million XRP. Such exchange deposits can indicate potential selling, but do not confirm that tokens were sold. Inflows have since returned to more typical levels, suggesting the surge in selling pressure may be fading. XRP was trading at $1.32, down 4.41% over 24 hours but up 2.66% over seven days, with $1.71 billion in trading volume. On the four-hour chart, XRP rebounded from $1.26 toward $1.40 but fell back after meeting resistance near $1.37. Analyst CryptoBusy identifies $1.38–$1.40 as the key breakout zone. A confirmed move above it could put $1.45–$1.50 in focus, while a drop below $1.33 may expose support at $1.30 and $1.26. The signals are mixed: elevated XRP whale deposits raise a risk of renewed selling, while their recent decline and price holding above $1.26 offer some support. Traders are watching exchange inflows, trading volume and whether XRP can break and hold above resistance.

A Seeking Alpha analysis identifies three tech stocks to consider selling for tax-loss harvesting in 2026: Rigetti Computing (RGTI), Universal Display (OLED) and CleanSpark (CLSK). It cites weak momentum, high valuations, slowing growth or poor earnings revisions. CleanSpark also faces Bitcoin price volatility, high operating costs and capital-intensive mining. The article names three potential replacements: ASE Technology (ASX), Tower Semiconductor (TSEM) and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE). Their cited strengths include stronger growth outlooks, earnings momentum and exposure to semiconductor packaging, silicon photonics and AI infrastructure. The recommendations reflect the author’s stock-screening analysis, not guaranteed performance. Tax-loss harvesting may allow investors to use realized losses to offset capital gains, but tax rules and individual circumstances matter. The article does not report a direct change in cryptocurrency markets; its crypto relevance is mainly CleanSpark’s exposure to Bitcoin mining.

The 2.14.0-rc.6 testnet release builds on release candidate 5 and includes changes from issues #16621, #16630 and #16633. It does not introduce a protocol, database or security upgrade. The 2.14.0-rc.6 announcement does not name a blockchain or token, and provides no details on the changes themselves.

NOX FUND says its smart contract on BNB Smart Chain offers a 1.5% daily return on USDT deposits, with principal locked for 45 days and a stated lifetime return cap of 547.5%. The project also advertises referral commissions of up to 20% across seven levels and says deposits incur a 5% protocol fee. The article identifies contract address 0x433830E36585bdACC840E1caB419C4211bBf13f5 and claims the code is immutable and audited by HazeCrypto. These claims and the advertised returns have not been independently verified here. A promised 1.5% daily yield is exceptionally high, while reliance on a shared pool, new deposits and multilevel referrals creates substantial liquidity and sustainability risks. Traders should verify the contract, audit and withdrawal conditions themselves and treat guaranteed-return language with caution. NOX FUND’s promotion does not establish that withdrawals or future yields are secure.

Bernstein estimates CoreWeave needs about $76 billion in additional funding to fulfil its committed customer backlog, far above Goldman Sachs’ estimate of roughly $23 billion. The difference reflects sharply divided views on the AI cloud provider’s financing needs and growth prospects. CoreWeave has reported a backlog of about $104 billion and Q2 2026 GAAP revenue of $2.575 billion. Bernstein says total funding needs for the backlog are around $85 billion, with existing financing facilities covering only part of that amount. It retains an Underperform rating and a $51 price target. Goldman rates the stock Buy with a $106 target, while HSBC has a Reduce rating and a $39 target, citing concerns about returns and future earnings. CoreWeave’s 2032 senior notes have recently yielded about 14.8%. If the company borrows more at such high rates, interest costs could rise; issuing shares could dilute existing investors. Traders are likely to watch new financing announcements, bond yields and how much of the backlog is funded. The funding debate adds uncertainty to CoreWeave and the wider AI infrastructure buildout.

Altimeter Capital founder Brad Gerstner argues the AI boom differs from the dot-com bubble because earnings growth, rather than valuation expansion alone, is driving the rally. He cited 26% year-to-date growth in market earnings in 2026 and said Nvidia trades at about 14 times projected next-year GAAP earnings. Gerstner describes AI demand as largely unconstrained, with power and materials limiting supply. He pointed to SpaceX’s planned 10 GW of added computing capacity in 2027 and Anthropic’s reported revenue growth from $2 billion to an $11 billion monthly run-rate between January and March 2026. Although Gerstner remains optimistic about AI’s long-term prospects, he said Altimeter’s AI exposure has fallen to its lowest level in three years. He expects further growth in 2027 and 2028, but says leading AI labs may need annual revenue of more than $180 billion to support hyperscalers’ capital spending. For traders, the AI boom’s durability depends on whether earnings and AI-lab revenue keep pace with investment; Gerstner’s reduced exposure also signals caution on timing.

Ethereum has reversed sharply after failing to hold its recovery toward $2,520, returning to around $2,400 and putting key support levels under pressure. On the daily chart, a close below the $2,360 demand zone—and then a break of recent lows near $2,320—would strengthen the bearish case and could expose support between $2,200 and $2,270. On the four-hour chart, ETH’s breakout from a falling wedge was rejected near $2,520. The former descending resistance around $2,390–$2,400 may provide near-term support, but a move below $2,350–$2,360 and recent lows near $2,320–$2,340 would increase the risk of further losses. To improve the outlook, Ethereum needs to reclaim $2,440 and then clear $2,480–$2,520. A Binance liquidation heatmap shows a notable estimated liquidation cluster around $2,150–$2,200, which could become a downside liquidity target if support fails. It is not a guaranteed destination. Rising Iran–US tensions may add risk-off pressure, but the article does not establish them as the cause of ETH’s decline.

Bitcoin fell about 3% on Thursday, trading near $81,500 as renewed US-Iran tensions and weaker US stocks pressured risk assets. President Donald Trump said the US was “not negotiating” with Iran and suggested events could unfold soon. The S&P 500 fell 1.3% and the Nasdaq dropped 2.3% at the time of reporting. Bitcoin hovered around the estimated cost basis of US spot Bitcoin ETFs. Bitfinex Alpha analysts expected BTC to remain in a range of $81,300 to $84,400 ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Oct. 28 meeting. A sustained move above $84,400, supported by ETF demand and stable leverage, could signal a breakout. A close below $81,300 could put Bitcoin at risk of testing the Oct. 15 low of $79,821. The immediate outlook is sensitive to geopolitical headlines, US equities and interest-rate expectations. Traders are watching the ETF cost basis and the stated price levels for signs of whether Bitcoin will stabilize or extend its decline.

Skydance shares rose 7.5% to an intraday high, according to data from MSX.com. The move followed reports that Elon Musk invested $1 billion in the company, which is associated with the Ellison family. The article does not specify the investment’s terms or provide further details. Skydance’s share move has no direct link to cryptocurrency markets.

Glassnode’s October 21 report identifies $85,000–$87,500 as a potential Bitcoin supply zone following a rebound from a dip toward $80,000. The zone combines the estimated cost basis of coins held for six to 12 months—about $86,700—with sell-side order-book liquidity and modeled liquidation concentrations. Below Bitcoin’s price, Glassnode places the True Market Mean near $77,600 and the tracked corporate treasuries’ average acquisition cost at about $80,200. These figures are estimates, not universal investor break-even levels. The report describes possible market pressures rather than a forecast: holders near their cost basis may sell, while leveraged liquidations could either accelerate a move or add volatility. Order-book offers can be withdrawn, and cost-basis and liquidation data depend on modeling assumptions. A sustained move through the supply zone would signal something different from a brief spike and reversal. The levels reflect the October 21 research snapshot, not live prices.

Neoclouds are specialist cloud providers that rent GPU capacity to AI companies. Some have roots in crypto mining: CoreWeave began by mining Ethereum, while Bitcoin miners including IREN, TeraWulf and Cipher are repurposing power sites for AI data centers. Major customers and partners include Microsoft, Amazon, Anthropic and Nvidia. The neocloud sector came under pressure in October 2026 after Gartner warned that more than 80% of providers could stop operating independently by 2030, citing cost pressures and limited differentiation. CoreWeave shares fell 29% in October, Nebius dropped 27% and IREN declined 32%. CoreWeave’s unsecured debt yield reached about 15%, highlighting investor concerns about borrowing costs and the rapid depreciation of costly GPUs. The risks remain despite strong demand: CoreWeave says nearly all of its 2027 capacity is sold. For crypto traders, the neocloud outlook matters because Bitcoin miners are increasingly converting energy and data-center assets into AI hosting businesses. However, neoclouds are conventional companies, not token issuers; related crypto exposure is more direct through GPU-compute tokens such as Render, Akash and io.net.

Bitcoin fell below $82,000 on October 22, 2026, giving back much of Wednesday’s recovery from around $83,000 to nearly $85,000. BTC traded near $81,700, down about 2.7% for the UTC day, as sellers returned before it could challenge resistance at $86,000. The report from 99Bitcoins says US monetary policy and dollar liquidity are key drivers of Bitcoin’s 2026 price direction. Its six-indicator dashboard gives a mixed picture: US M2 money supply rose to $23.343 trillion in August, and the Chicago Fed Financial Conditions Index remained in accommodative territory. However, the 10-year real Treasury yield was 2.80%, bank reserves fell by about $7.5 billion to $3.022 trillion, and the Treasury General Account averaged $883.4 billion—factors that may constrain liquidity and risk-taking. Inflation is also in focus ahead of the Federal Reserve’s October 28 rate decision. September CPI rose 3.7% year on year, up from 3.4% in August. Traders are watching whether the Fed’s guidance and upcoming liquidity data can support a recovery. For Bitcoin, $80,000 is the key near-term support. A sustained move above $83,000, followed by resistance between $84,800 and $87,000, would improve the outlook. A confirmed break below $80,000 could expose BTC to a move towards $75,000.

Bitcoin fell below $82,000 as a sharp US tech-stock sell-off and rising oil prices pressured risk assets. At around 00:10 Taipei time on October 23, Bitcoin was near $81,615, down 3.45% over 24 hours, while Ethereum dropped 4.53% to about $2,397. The Nasdaq was down around 2% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index fell 5.43%. Brent crude rose above $111 a barrel amid reports—unconfirmed by US and Israeli officials—that the two countries were preparing possible military action against Iran after November’s midterm elections. Higher oil prices raised concerns about renewed inflation and reduced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. AI spending concerns added to market pressure. Meta shares fell about 6% despite better-than-expected results, while crypto-linked stocks Coinbase and Strategy also declined. The simultaneous retreat in Bitcoin and technology shares highlights crypto’s sensitivity to broader risk sentiment. Traders are watching oil prices, developments in the Middle East and the US market close for signs of whether the sell-off will deepen.

Crypto adoption accelerated in 2025, according to a16z’s State of Crypto report. The total crypto market value topped $4 trillion, while an estimated 40–70 million people actively used crypto, about 10 million more than a year earlier. Bitcoin rose above $126,000, and crypto exchange-traded products held more than $175 billion in assets. Stablecoins became a major payment and settlement tool. Their annual transaction volume reached $46 trillion, or $9 trillion after adjustments, while total supply exceeded $300 billion. Tether and USDC accounted for 87% of supply. The report says stablecoins are increasingly used beyond crypto trading and could support demand for US Treasuries. Traditional finance and technology firms, including Visa, BlackRock, JPMorgan, Stripe and PayPal, expanded or announced crypto products. US policy also became more supportive: the GENIUS Act became law, while the House approved the CLARITY Act. Onchain activity broadened across tokenized real-world assets, decentralized exchanges and prediction markets. Meanwhile, blockchain networks processed more than 3,400 transactions per second, over 100 times the throughput reported five years earlier. For traders, the report points to stronger long-term adoption and infrastructure, but its figures do not guarantee near-term price gains. Crypto market moves will still depend on liquidity, regulation and investor risk appetite.

Bitcoin fell nearly 4% in 24 hours on Thursday, reaching $81,331 and giving back gains made earlier in the week. The decline followed a surge in oil prices above $110 a barrel, driven by fears of supply disruptions and a wider Middle East conflict after attacks by Yemen’s Houthis on Saudi Arabia. Higher oil prices have revived inflation concerns and bets on potential US interest-rate hikes. Tighter monetary policy can reduce liquidity and weigh on Bitcoin and other risk assets, which have often moved in tandem with technology stocks. US equities also fell on Thursday. Despite the pullback, Bitcoin recently had its strongest quarter in years and has traded above its 365-day moving average, which some analysts view as a sign of a bull market. The immediate direction of Bitcoin may remain sensitive to oil prices, inflation data and geopolitical developments.

EVEDEX’s proposed EVE token design reflects a broader shift among decentralised perpetuals exchanges: away from short-lived airdrop incentives and towards mechanisms intended to retain users and align rewards with protocol activity. The article highlights three features: staked EVE converts one-to-one into non-transferable stEVE for DAO voting; unstaking is available continuously over a year, with an early-exit penalty that declines from up to 50% to zero; and staking rewards are linked to protocol fee revenue rather than a fixed emissions-funded APY. The shift comes as on-chain perpetual trading grows. The article cites CoinGecko research showing its share of total perpetuals volume rose from about 2% in January 2024 to more than 10% by early 2026, while monthly volumes topped $1 trillion. It also says centralised exchanges’ share of open interest fell from 96.4% in early 2025 to 86.5% by April 2026. The EVEDEX token plan has a fixed supply of 100 million EVE. The article notes that 6% is allocated retroactively to early users, compared with larger allocations for the treasury and DAO (31%), team (18%) and partnerships (15%). The token generation event is expected around six to 18 months after mainnet launch; team and investor unlock details remain important unknowns. The proposed design may encourage longer-term participation, but its effectiveness will depend on exchange revenue, token distribution and market conditions.

Robinhood Chain’s total value locked (TVL) reached $1.14 billion as Robinhood Crypto confirmed eligible holders can use Stock Tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins through Morpho. The move adds a new lending use case for Robinhood Stock Tokens and may bring more borrowing activity to Robinhood Chain. DefiLlama lists $1.079 billion in stablecoins on the network, with USDG accounting for 65.67%. These figures are separate from TVL. Morpho’s Robinhood Chain deployment shows about $1.10 billion in deposits, $484.3 million in outstanding loans and $606.9 million in TVL across all collateral types. Stock-token markets include NVDA, GOOGL and AAPL collateral, each with a 62.5% liquidation threshold. Robinhood says Stock Token price feeds update 24/5, while onchain trading may continue outside tokenization hours. Morpho liquidations depend on oracle prices and each market’s loan-to-value threshold, so price-feed timing and market liquidity are relevant risks for borrowers. Robinhood’s disclosures also exclude US persons from Stock Tokens, alongside restrictions in several other jurisdictions.

The meme coin market was valued at about $29.7 billion on Oct. 22, 2026, down from $35.1 billion on Oct. 6, according to figures cited in the article. Dogecoin, Shiba Inu and Pepe account for more than half of the sector, while data from Bitquery shows that 79% of tracked Pump.fun tokens traded only on their launch day. The comparison covers established meme coins and newer projects. Dogecoin remains the largest, with a market cap of about $12.4 billion, but its DogeOS platform is still in testnet and its ETF was set to close. Shiba Inu is valued at about $3 billion, with an unresolved liability related to a Shibarium bridge incident. Pepe’s roughly $1.9 billion market cap and high trading turnover reflect its sensitivity to market attention. Bonk, Pump.fun’s PUMP token and Pudgy Penguins’ PENGU offer exposure to Solana communities, token launches and a consumer brand, respectively, but each has distinct risks. MemeToro (MT) is an AI memecoin launchpad in presale on BNB Chain. Its contracts are being tested, while its AI agent is not yet live; the article says there has been no end-to-end live launch. The report advises traders to check token supply, ownership concentration, contract controls, audits and liquidity. It also stresses that presales and meme coins can lose their entire value.

Anthropic is expected to go public next month, potentially in what could become the largest IPO ever. Its cap table reflects years of venture capital firms passing on the AI company because of its unusual structure and emphasis on safety over commercial growth. According to investor documents and sources cited in the report, no venture firm owns more than 2% of Anthropic. The company reportedly sought to limit any single investor’s influence. Iconiq, Menlo Ventures and Lightspeed are expected to be among the biggest venture winners, despite their relatively small stakes. The Anthropic IPO story highlights how late-stage investors arrived after the company had already gained momentum.

Aero says it aims to become a leading onchain spot exchange for tokenized stocks and other assets. The platform launched across seven networks on Oct. 21, bringing Aerodrome and Velodrome under one exchange and a unified AERO token. The networks are Ethereum, Base, OP Mainnet, Arbitrum, Arc, Ink and Robinhood Chain. Dromos Labs CEO Alex Cutler said Aerodrome captured 55% of tokenized-stock trading volume across Ethereum and its layer-2 networks, citing Blockworks data. That was up from about 2% in early September. Aero says the seven networks collectively handle around $120 billion in monthly DEX volume, while Aerodrome and Velodrome have distributed $578 million in revenue and incentives to tokenholders. Aero’s model lets staked AERO holders direct liquidity incentives to markets they expect to generate fees. The exchange says all revenue at launch will go to staked AERO holders, and it launched without venture funding or a token sale. Cutler aims to at least double Aero’s share of onchain spot trading volume by year-end. The launch expands competition for liquidity as tokenized assets and round-the-clock onchain trading grow.

Robinhood stock tokens are now accepted as collateral on Morpho lending markets on Robinhood Chain. Eligible non-US users can borrow USDG, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, against tokenized NVDA, SPCX and SPY without selling their positions. Robinhood stock tokens provide economic exposure but do not confer direct ownership or voting rights. The launch markets set liquidation loan-to-value thresholds of 62.5% for NVDA and SPCX, and 77% for SPY. If a borrower’s debt reaches the relevant threshold relative to collateral value, the position may be liquidated. Access is restricted to non-US users and jurisdictions. The move extends Robinhood and Morpho’s partnership, which began supporting Robinhood Earn in July 2026. Robinhood Chain launched its mainnet on 1 July and had recorded about $15 billion in cumulative stock-token trading volume and roughly 200,000 holders by October. The new lending option gives token holders liquidity without selling, but adds leverage and liquidation risk.

Three AI chatbots offered sharply different predictions for Ethereum (ETH) after the US midterm elections scheduled for November 3. ChatGPT said ETH could fall initially and then recover, while cautioning that price moves after the previous two midterms happened during broader crypto bear markets and do not establish a reliable pattern. It also said election results may matter less than inflation, interest rates and institutional demand. Perplexity warned that the vote could trigger fast, liquidation-driven volatility in ETH, Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins, particularly where leveraged positions are crowded. Google’s Gemini was more bullish, projecting ETH could reach about $3,200 a month after the election and potentially $4,000 within 90 days. It also forecast a possible $5,200–$6,000 or higher in 12–18 months, citing regulatory clarity and spot ETF inflows. These are chatbot-generated forecasts, not confirmed market expectations. Traders may want to monitor election outcomes alongside macroeconomic data, ETF flows and leverage conditions.

Several US stock-linked contracts fell over the past 24 hours, according to data from MSX.COM. USDEX dropped 16.9% to 9.9 USDT, while COHR fell 11.9% to 207.73 USDT. The declines point to selling pressure in these US stock-linked contracts, but the report provides no broader market data or explanation for the moves.

ether.fi said it was unaffected by several security incidents reported across the industry over the past 24 hours, including one involving Railway. The ether.fi platform’s systems are operating normally, and the company said user funds were not affected. The announcement offers reassurance to ether.fi users but does not provide further details about the incidents.
