OpenAI’s Sora Android App surged to 470,000 downloads within its first 24 hours on Google Play, marking a 327% increase over the invite-only iOS launch that reached 2 million downloads in under a month. Available in seven markets without invite codes, the app offers simple text-to-video prompts, a TikTok-style vertical feed, pet AI cameos and group channels, alongside basic video editing and a revamped UI for trending clips. OpenAI also cut moderation and improved performance for smoother navigation. OpenAI Sora Android App’s success highlights intensifying competition in mobile AI as rivals like Meta AI expand globally. Crypto traders should watch ecosystem tokens and partnerships poised to benefit from the rise in AI video generation driven by the app.

Robinhood Markets shares fell 7.5% after the fintech reported October crypto revenue below analyst forecasts and raised its full-year operating expense guidance. The weaker crypto revenue outlook and higher costs signal near-term margin pressure. The company also announced CFO Jason Warnick will depart, though management expects a smooth transition. On the upside, early Q4 metrics showed solid growth in its prediction markets and robust margin book performance. Traders should monitor upcoming crypto trading volume trends and the firm’s cost control measures for further cues on market impact.

On November 6, 2025, Morgan Stanley initiated coverage on Galaxy Digital (GLXY) with an Overweight rating, citing its dual strengths as an AI data center developer and institutional crypto platform. The report highlights Galaxy Digital’s clear path to monetize its AI infrastructure investments alongside rising demand for its trading, lending, and asset management services in the institutional cryptocurrency market. Analysts forecast accelerated revenue growth driven by the expansion of AI computing capacity and growing institutional adoption of digital assets. Galaxy Digital’s diversified model in AI data centers and crypto trading positions it to capitalize on two high-growth sectors, making it a compelling option for traders seeking exposure to artificial intelligence and institutional crypto.

The crypto market held around $3.4 trillion in capitalization with daily volumes near $163 billion. Bitcoin traded near $102,000, dipping below $101,000 before rebounding, and was down about 2% over 24 hours. Ethereum slid to approximately $3,336, down over 3% for the day. ETF flows remain mixed: Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of $137 million and Ethereum ETFs lost $118 million, while Solana spot funds attracted $9.7 million in net inflows. On-chain data shows significant whale accumulation of 394,682 ETH (around $1.37 billion) in three days. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index rose to 24 (“Fear”), signaling cautious sentiment. Analysts cite $105,000–$107,000 as Bitcoin resistance with support near $98,500–$100,000; Ethereum faces resistance at $3,450 and support at $3,300 and $3,150. Altcoins like XRP, BNB, ADA, LINK and DOGE were mostly lower, with DOGE flat around $0.16 despite Elon Musk’s “It’s time” post. This consolidation phase reflects neutral market dynamics amid ETF outflows, whale buying and mixed U.S. economic data.

VanEck and Securitize have on-boarded their VBILL tokenized treasury fund as on-chain collateral on Aave Horizon, live since August 27, 2025. Institutions can now use VBILL tokens to secure stablecoin loans in the platform’s rapidly growing real-world assets (RWA) market, which recently surpassed $500 million in deposits and contributes to over $35 billion in on-chain RWAs industry-wide. Aave Horizon operates on the Aave v3.3 protocol, leveraging Chainlink’s NAVLink and LlamaGuard oracles for secure net asset value pricing, while Securitize plans to deploy its Trusted Single Source Oracle for additional valuation verification. Aave Labs founder Stani Kulechov highlighted the synergy between tokenized assets, NAV oracles and Aave’s infrastructure, and VanEck’s Kyle DaCruz emphasized VBILL’s safety, transparency and DeFi composability for institutional investors. CEO Carlos Domingo noted that this integration demonstrates the seamless flow of regulated assets through DeFi, underscoring a broader trend of unlocking institutional finance and advancing asset tokenization.

JPMorgan is advancing its stablecoin strategy by exploring a multi-bank collaboration to launch a new JPMorgan-backed stablecoin network. CEO Jamie Dimon confirmed at the Americas Business Forum that, while outcomes remain uncertain, the bank will build on its existing deposit coin and blockchain infrastructure. The initiative seeks to standardize regulatory compliance and interoperability across traditional banks and digital asset platforms, enabling faster, lower-cost cross-border transactions. Traders should note potential challenges in security and regulation as the project progresses. Overall, this move underscores a bullish shift towards efficient payments and broader financial inclusion in digital finance.

BitMine has boosted its Ethereum holdings to over 3.39 million ETH (2.8% of circulating supply) following a $137 million purchase of 40,718 ETH on Coinbase Prime and FalconX, plus 6,000 ETH via Galaxy Digital. Arkham Intelligence data show no wallet deposits in 119 days, yet total exchange withdrawals reached $12.83 billion through FalconX and Kraken. Amid recent market volatility and a 3.5% dip in ETH price to $3,312, Wall Street veteran Tom Lee predicts Ethereum will hit $7,000 by year-end while Bitcoin could reach $150,000–200,000. This significant institutional accumulation underscores strong institutional confidence in Ethereum’s long-term prospects and may offer short-term price support and momentum for future bullish trends.

An appeals court has dismissed a Bitcoin lawsuit filed by Michael Prime to recover a wiped hard drive containing about 3,400 BTC. Prime, a convicted identity thief, initially told investigators in 2019 he held roughly 3,500 BTC but later claimed only $200–$1,500 in Bitcoin. Prime’s inconsistent statements in this Bitcoin lawsuit further undermined his credibility as judges cited a delayed assertion of ownership and lack of transaction records or wallet data. He did not request the drive’s return until after his 2022 release. This outcome underscores the importance of timely evidence and consistent claims in cryptocurrency disputes and sets a precedent for future lost asset cases.

Dogecoin’s long-term holders shifted from net buying to over 22 million DOGE outflows, erasing the $0.177–$0.179 support zone and heightening the risk of a deeper correction. Trading around $0.20 with resistance at $0.25–$0.28, DOGE needs a fresh capital influx to reclaim these levels. Against this backdrop, the Mutuum Finance presale at $0.035 per token is gaining momentum. Phase 6 is 85% sold, raising $18.45 million across 17,720 wallets. Phase 7 will offer a 20% bonus at $0.04 before moving toward a $0.06 launch price. Mutuum Finance presale features dual peer-to-contract pools for ETH/USDT with auto-compounded interest and peer-to-peer lending for custom loan terms. Its buy-and-distribute mechanism allocates fees to token burns and mtToken rewards. Audited by CertiK with a 90/100 score and backed by a $50,000 bug bounty, Mutuum Finance plans a Sepolia testnet launch, native stablecoin, Layer-2 integration, and expanded oracle support. For traders seeking asymmetric growth beyond meme coins, the Mutuum Finance presale offers a robust DeFi investment opportunity.

Bitcoin.com has partnered with Concordium to integrate Concordium’s 1-Click Verify & Pay age verification service into the Bitcoin.com Wallet, giving over 75 million users compliant age and jurisdiction checks. The feature uses off-chain third-party verification and zero-knowledge proofs to confirm user age and location without exposing personal data or recording it on-chain. This privacy-focused age verification simplifies merchant compliance for stablecoin payments in sectors like alcohol, gambling and adult content. By leveraging Concordium’s identity-first blockchain and native CCD token, Bitcoin.com Wallet users can complete verification in a single click. The seamless process may boost user trust and accelerate merchant adoption, helping stablecoins move beyond exchanges into real-world commerce. As crypto adoption climbs — 27% of US internet users now hold wallets — this integration addresses regulatory demands without compromising anonymity and could spur broader stablecoin usage in age-restricted markets.

Chainlink CCIP has been selected by SBI Digital Markets as the exclusive solution for its global digital asset hub. Chainlink CCIP enables secure cross-chain issuance, settlement and private transfer of tokenized real-world assets and securities across public and permissioned blockchains. Its Private Transactions feature shields sensitive trade data from public mempools, while its Automated Compliance Engine enforces on-chain regulatory policies in real time. Building on Singapore’s Project Guardian, the partnership aims to deliver institutional-grade interoperability, privacy and compliance across Asia and Europe. This infrastructure addresses cost efficiency, cuts settlement times and enhances confidentiality. SBI plans to integrate CCIP and ACE to support the full lifecycle of tokenized assets, from issuance to trading.

XRP price slid over 10% last week to around $2.30 as whale-driven exchange inflows surged, with large holders offloading over 900,000 XRP in planned distributions. Record whale transfers to Binance and spikes in the 100-day SMA around Ripple’s latest capital injection confirmed a sell-the-news setup, coinciding with Bitcoin dipping below $100,000 and Ethereum under $3,200, which triggered $1.7B in liquidations. Despite the XRP price selling pressure, on-chain metrics show exchange inflows have since declined, easing immediate sell-side pressure. Technical support holds near $1.94, while Ripple’s fundamentals remain robust, highlighted by its US spot prime brokerage launch, the Palisade acquisition, partnerships like GTreasury, and fresh spot XRP ETF filings by Franklin Templeton and Bitwise. Traders should monitor whale activity and macro conditions for potential stabilization and trading opportunities.

Grayscale has temporarily waived management and sponsor fees for its Grayscale Solana Trust (GSOL) ETF for up to three months or until assets under management reach $1 billion. Starting November 5, the fund stakes 100 percent of its SOL holdings—currently 578,144 SOL in $94 million AUM—at a gross annualized yield of about 7.2 percent. Staking rewards are reflected in share‐price appreciation in real time, supported by a diversified validator strategy launched on October 6. The fee waiver and robust staking program aim to improve cost efficiency and investor returns, strengthen the Solana ETF’s competitive edge against rival products from VanEck, 21Shares and ARK, and drive new capital into SOL-linked exchange-traded products. This incentive package could spur greater demand for the Solana ETF and further inflows into SOL.

Solana, Polygon, TON and other blockchain leaders have launched the Blockchain Payments Consortium to standardize cross-chain payments. The group will build unified technical standards and a compliance framework to streamline stablecoin transactions and boost blockchain interoperability. In 2024, on-chain payments topped $20 trillion—outpacing Visa and Mastercard—but fragmentation remains a barrier. The consortium will harmonize transaction data, compliance handshakes and settlement protocols to enable faster, secure and compliant cross-chain payments. Aligned with efforts by Coinbase, Citi and SWIFT, and driven by clearer U.S. stablecoin rules, this initiative aims to bridge public networks, regulators and traditional finance. Traders can expect improved liquidity and deeper institutional adoption, making this development broadly bullish for SOL and related tokens.

Digitap has launched its live omni-bank app, creating a new crypto bank that merges traditional banking and blockchain finance. The Visa-integrated card supports instant crypto and fiat transfers, while zero-KYC onboarding opens access for 1.4 billion unbanked users and remote professionals. Audit reports by Coinsult and SolidProof confirm platform security. In its presale, Digitap sold over 60 million TAP tokens at an 80% discount, raising $1.4 million. The TAP token features deflationary mechanics, with 50% of platform profits funding token burns and staking rewards. Stakers can earn up to 124% APY. Compared to XRP’s institutional liquidity focus and Stellar’s low-fee remittances, Digitap centers on individual consumers, offering real-world utility and borderless payments. For traders, this crypto bank’s live functionality, strong presale momentum, and high-yield tokenomics make TAP a top altcoin to watch.

Ethereum has slid 13% to $3,055, setting up a potential $7 billion Ethereum short squeeze. Rising short interest and improving technical indicators around the $3,000 resistance could trigger a rapid rebound above $4,100. Traders should track Ethereum short squeeze momentum for signs of a wider altcoin rally. Meanwhile, Pepenode has launched a gamified mining pre-sale on Ethereum. Users buy and upgrade virtual miner nodes in a play-to-earn model. They mine meme coins like PEPE, PART and FART without hardware or high electricity costs. Pepenode tokens start at $0.0011363 with tiered price increases and staking bonuses. The project runs on an energy-efficient PoS consensus with 99.95% lower power consumption. Pepenode targets a Q4 2025/Q1 2026 token generation event and exchange listings. Funds will support game upgrades, node expansion and meme-coin partnerships. Analysts project a 982% ROI by 2030, aiming for $0.0123 per token. Crypto traders should watch Ethereum’s short squeeze setup and Pepenode pre-sale dynamics to gauge market sentiment and trading opportunities.

Crypto trading app Fomo has closed a $17 million Series A round led by Benchmark, with participation from around 200 angel investors, including Polygon Labs CEO Marc Boiron, Solana co-founder Raj Gokal and former Coinbase CTO Balaji Srinivasan. Launched in May, Fomo uses Apple Pay for instant account setup, supports cross-chain trading of millions of digital assets, charges a 0.5% trading fee with no gas costs and features built-in social tools to follow and mirror strategies. The new funding will drive platform enhancements—expanding crypto offerings, strengthening security and compliance, optimizing mobile UI, adding advanced trading features, enriching educational resources and extending customer support. Fomo also plans to hire across engineering, marketing and compliance teams and roll out regular updates to boost stability and performance. Despite regulatory uncertainty and growing competition, this capital injection validates Fomo’s user-friendly approach and positions the app for rapid growth.

Western Union stablecoin USDPT will launch on Solana in 2026, backed fully by dollars and developed with Anchorage Digital Bank to modernize cross-border remittances. Leveraging Solana’s high throughput and low fees, the Western Union stablecoin aims to reduce costs and latency in global money transfers. The announcement validated Solana’s real-world utility but provoked pushback from XRP traders, who view it as a threat to XRP’s bridge-asset role in retail corridors. XRP traded near $2.63 as market watchers weighed the impact on remittance routes and institutional demand for Solana. Analysts warn XRP faces technical resistance around $2.80 following a recent rally. Traders should monitor price action for potential breakouts or pullbacks near this barrier. The institutional adoption of Solana-based stablecoins and shifting remittance flows may influence both short-term trading and long-term positioning in the crypto market.

Asset manager BlackRock has continued to expand its crypto custody with a major BlackRock Coinbase deposit. Initial on-chain data showed 2,042.8 BTC and 22,681 ETH moved to Coinbase. On November 6, Onchain Lens recorded a further BlackRock Coinbase deposit of 4,652.87 BTC (≈$478.5 M) and 57,455 ETH (≈$194.9 M), bringing total inflows to roughly $673 M. Such BTC and ETH inflows to Coinbase often signal upcoming trading activity or liquidity adjustments. Traders should monitor spot exchange balances and ETF filings, as similar deposit patterns have correlated with short-term price shifts. The institutional investment underscores growing confidence in Bitcoin and Ethereum, while large exchange inflows may also precede sell-side pressure. Market participants can use this on-chain data to inform both short-term and long-term trading strategies.

BullZilla’s presale has entered Stage 9B, raising over $1 million and selling 31 billion BZIL tokens at $0.00022573. At an estimated listing price of $0.00527, this crypto presale offers a 2,200%+ ROI, with a $1,000 investment securing 4.43 million BZIL. Traders should verify official links and evaluate tokenomics, community support and liquidity before investing in this low-cost token. Other crypto presale opportunities to watch include Mog Coin, MoonBull, La Culex and Apeing, each offering unique staking or scarcity mechanisms. Established projects like Tron (TRX), Dogecoin and Shiba Inu also gain attention for their DeFi and meme coin ecosystems. Crypto traders seeking early-stage entry and high ROI potential should monitor these presales and BullZilla’s upcoming price milestones ahead of major exchange listings.

Record 37-day US government shutdown has squeezed market liquidity. The Treasury General Account (TGA) balance surged by about $150 billion, tightening bank reserves and driving high usage of the Federal Reserve’s Reverse Repo Program and Standing Repo Facility. A strong US Dollar Index (DXY) above 100 has further weighed on risk assets, including Bitcoin. Since July, Bitcoin has fallen roughly 5% and dropped to about $104,000—20% below its October peak. Last week saw spot Bitcoin ETFs record net outflows of $1 billion. Historical shutdowns in 2013 and 2018–19 show similar short-lived spikes in risk aversion, with equities and bonds briefly down before rebound. The shutdown’s end should reverse the liquidity squeeze. Treasury outflows will return funds to the market. The Federal Reserve is set to end quantitative tightening on December 1. Both factors could support a Bitcoin rebound. Technical support lies at $101,000–$102,000, with upside targets near $106,500 and $112,000. Traders should brace for volatility driven by liquidity shifts and Fed policy. Late November may offer a buying opportunity ahead of renewed upside in Bitcoin.

Applications for a US Solana spot ETF began in 2024, and after the SEC’s September 2025 listing standard update, approval odds have soared. Major issuers—including Bitwise (BSOL), Grayscale (GSOL), VanEck, 21Shares and REX-Osprey—are vying to list regulated funds that trade like stocks on NYSE Arca. These Solana spot ETFs offer direct SOL exposure, secure custody by professional custodians and, in some cases, staking rewards without private wallets or exchanges. Early inflows were strong: BSOL drew nearly $70 million and GSOL almost $48 million on their first days, echoing Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF rallies. Traders can expect higher liquidity, tighter price discovery and easier portfolio diversification. Institutional investors will gain mainstream channels, and fresh capital could flow into Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, spurring on-chain activity. Risks remain, including price volatility, premium/discount spreads, tracking errors, staking lock-ups, custody security and regulatory shifts. As Solana spot ETF products mature, they are poised to drive short-term price momentum and support long-term SOL market stability.

Nexperia halted wafer shipments to its Guangzhou plant on October 29 after its China unit bypassed governance by refusing payments, opening unauthorized bank accounts, misusing seals and issuing inaccurate letters. The suspension disrupts power and control chip supplies for automakers like Volkswagen and BMW. The standoff escalated as the Dutch government invoked veto powers over strategic transactions, citing national security concerns about parent Wingtech’s influence, while China imposed export restrictions and demanded the Netherlands cease interference. Nexperia warned that without transparency and proper oversight, it cannot guarantee IP protection or product quality. The dispute threatens roughly half of Nexperia’s production capacity, deepening the global chip supply crisis and potentially delaying EV and advanced driver-assistance system rollouts. For crypto traders, the supply squeeze may translate into GPU and ASIC hardware shortages and price hikes, impacting mining profitability.

Monad mainnet launch is scheduled for Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. ET, marking the MON token generation and direct airdrop to users who completed the Nov. 3 claim process. The MON token will list on Kraken at launch, with Phantom and Backpack wallets on board and trading enabled via Uniswap and Wormhole. The EVM-compatible Layer-1 chain offers up to 10,000 TPS and 1-second finality through parallel execution and superscalar pipelining. Key dApps such as Uniswap, Magic Eden, OpenSea, Molandaks and Alloca will be live at launch. The project has raised $244 million, led by Paradigm’s $225 million Series A, with backing from Electric Capital, Coinbase Ventures and others. Eligible participants span DeFi power users on Uniswap, lenders on Aave and Euler, meme-coin issuers, long-term NFT holders and DAO governors. Traders should track MON token liquidity, trading volume and market sentiment, as pre-launch activity shows cautious positioning.

Solana Company, founded by ex-UBS banker Joseph Chee, has launched DAT 2.0 in partnership with Pantera Capital and Avenir Group, raising over $500M through a PIPE to secure WKSI status for expedited SEC registrations. The digital asset trust will accumulate SOL via premium equity offerings, NAV-based share buybacks, and leverage instruments. Chee cites Solana’s low fees, scalability, active developer ecosystem and growing institutional ETF approvals as foundations for SOL’s bullish outlook. He forecasts SOL could trade above $500 within six months and reach $1,000 in the next bull cycle. This DAT 2.0 initiative positions the firm as a “Berkshire-like” steward, driving enhanced institutional adoption, liquidity and a tech-driven price rally for Solana.

Chainlink and Apex Group, in partnership with the Bermuda Monetary Authority, have piloted an on-chain stablecoin compliance system on a testnet. The framework integrates Chainlink’s Proof of Reserve for real-time collateral reporting and Secure Mint to cap issuance. Its Automated Compliance Engine enforces Bermuda’s regulations directly on-chain, while Apex handles custody, reserve management, and tokenization. Security firm Hacken provides continuous monitoring of wallet activity, and identity provider Bluprynt ties issuers to verified minting wallets. A Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard enables seamless, no-slippage transfers. According to BMA data, the solution can cut operational risks by up to 50%. Though still in testing and not yet live, the pilot sets a benchmark for regulatory-friendly stablecoin compliance infrastructure.

Cryptocurrency exchange OKX has launched USDT-settled perpetual futures for privacy-focused assets DASH (DASHUSDT) and ZEC (ZECUSDT) on November 6, 2025. The new OKX perpetual futures offer leverage from 0.01x to 50x with USDT collateral, a 0.01 tick size and funding rates capped at ±1.5%. Contracts trade 24/7 with no expiry and pricing based on one DASH or ZEC’s USDT equivalent. Fees are charged every four hours—adjusting to hourly when thresholds are met. This launch expands OKX’s derivatives suite, attracts institutional and retail demand, and aims to boost liquidity for DASH and ZEC. Detailed contract specs, price index methodology and risk controls are available in OKX’s documentation. Traders should apply strict risk management, including stop-loss orders, to mitigate high-leverage liquidation risks.

Chainlink DataLink now powers real-time on-chain NAV publication for WisdomTree’s Private Credit and Alternative Income Digital Fund (CRDT) on Ethereum. Launched on September 12, 2025, the CRDT fund benchmarks to the Gapstow Index and taps WisdomTree’s $130 billion asset management expertise in private credit. Chainlink DataLink aggregates and verifies off-chain pricing from leading index providers, securely delivering tamper-proof NAV data to smart contracts. This integration enhances transparency and interoperability between TradFi and DeFi, giving institutional investors and DeFi protocols access to reliable, on-chain fund valuations. The move could unlock new DeFi use cases such as automated lending and portfolio rebalancing, while streamlining regulatory compliance. It underlines growing institutional demand for tokenized assets and marks a significant step in digital asset infrastructure.
