Crypto inheritance is gaining legal recognition across major jurisdictions, but remains complex for heirs. In China, the 2021 Civil Code classified virtual assets as personal property. In October 2025, India’s Madras High Court ruled that 3,532 XRP tokens frozen on WazirX qualify as trust property, shifting views from “digital game tokens” to inheritable assets. Despite clarity on crypto inheritance, heirs must prove ownership via private keys or seed phrases instead of traditional deeds. Centralized exchanges require death certificates, identity documents and legal filings, with processes varying by jurisdiction and subject to policy changes. Self-custody wallets pose risks if keys are lost, as seen in the $147M QuadrigaCX fiasco. Valuation and division of digital assets are complicated by volatile prices, reference-date selection and potential tax or compliance issues when liquidating tokens. Lawyers advise recording asset details and public addresses, securing private keys in hardware wallets or multisignature trusts, and monitoring exchange policies. Proactive estate planning is essential to ensure seamless crypto inheritance and avoid permanent loss.

US senators introduced the bipartisan Clarity Act, set to establish the first comprehensive US crypto regulation. Building on earlier bills, it clearly divides oversight between the SEC and CFTC: the SEC will supervise securities-like tokens and the CFTC will oversee mature decentralized commodities. The bill covers stablecoins, DeFi protocols, AML rules, and protections for non-custodial developers, while allowing community banks to custody digital assets. Senator Lummis aims for a Banking Committee vote by year-end and full Senate debate in early 2026. She praised flexible SEC programs, criticized delays after a leaked DeFi draft, and backed a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to help offset national debt. This crypto regulation framework aims to reduce market uncertainty, spur institutional adoption of digital assets and foster long-term market growth.

Crypto derivatives liquidations surged to about $1.4 billion after Bitcoin dropped below $104K for the first time since mid-October. The sell-off extended to altcoins, with Ethereum sliding to $3,480, Solana down 8%, and XRP also suffering losses. CoinGlass data shows a severe long squeeze, with long positions making up 89% of total crypto liquidations—Bitcoin led at $404 million, Ethereum $355 million, Solana $156 million, and XRP $32 million. The Coinbase Premium Gap turned negative, indicating institutional selling pressure on Coinbase. This wave highlights market volatility and the risks of overleveraged trades. Traders should monitor funding rates, open interest, key support levels, and premium gaps to gauge potential recovery or further downside.

Norway has paused its sovereign wealth fund’s ethics council to prevent forced divestment of major US tech stocks from its $2.1 trillion Government Pension Fund Global. The freeze, approved by parliament amid UN allegations that Amazon, Microsoft, Alphabet, Apple and Meta support Israeli surveillance in Gaza and rising geopolitical tensions with US diplomatic pressure, halts reviews under the fund’s ethical investing rules until a full parliamentary review in 2026. The sovereign wealth fund holds over 15% of its equity in US tech, including more than $20 billion in Alphabet. Traders should monitor the 2026 policy review, as changes could influence tech sector performance, global investment flows and ethical investing standards, with potential ripple effects on crypto markets.

Litecoin ETF inflows reached $855.88K on November 3, marking one of the largest single-day gains this quarter. Institutional investors rotated $1.07M into LTC spot ETFs, keeping ETF premiums near net asset values. On-chain metrics show rising retail momentum, with active Litecoin addresses and transaction volumes outpacing ZEC. Price consolidation between $85 and $100 persists, but a Stochastic RSI rebound from oversold levels signals fading bearish pressure. Continued Litecoin ETF inflows and growing volume could drive LTC toward the $105 resistance in the short term. Traders should monitor ETF flows and volume trends for signs of a sustained upswing, with a break above $100 opening the way to new highs.

BNB has rallied 34.5% over the past three months, recovering from a low near $864 and consolidating above key support at $1,090. With a market capitalization exceeding $140 billion and daily trading volume of $2.45 billion, BNB benefits from robust liquidity and limited supply dynamics. Technical analysis shows higher lows and steady buyer accumulation, forming a bullish market structure. Key resistance lies between $1,230 and $1,300; a decisive breakout could trigger the next bullish leg, while failure risks a pullback to $1,080. Traders should monitor volume trends and price action around $1,250–$1,270 to confirm sustained momentum and guard against corrections.

At the Future Investment Initiative in Riyadh, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink called tokenization a "major financial evolution", noting central banks and ETF issuers are racing to digitize currencies. This shift could reshape global settlement infrastructure. XRP supporters seized on his remarks, arguing the XRP Ledger (XRPL) is poised to become the core settlement layer for tokenized assets. Analyst Versan Aljarrah of Black Swan Capitalist said CBDCs and tokenized ETFs will require XRPL’s infrastructure. Ripple’s CTO and asset manager Bitwise have also endorsed XRPL’s tokenization features. According to Google’s Gemini AI, the tokenization market could reach $15 trillion by 2030; if XRPL captures 1–5%, XRP’s market cap might hit $6–$30 trillion, implying a theoretical price of $100–$500 per token. Achieving this hinges on institutional adoption, clear regulations, and XRPL outperforming competitors like Ethereum and Solana, while XRP’s built-in burn mechanism could further support prices. This development underscores XRP’s potential in the emerging tokenized finance era.

The CME FedWatch tool now shows a 69% probability of a 25bp Fed rate cut at December’s FOMC meeting, up from 67.8% previously forecast, and a 31% chance of unchanged rates. By January, markets assign a 55% likelihood to at least 25bp of cumulative cuts, with a 25% probability of a full 50bp reduction and about 20% odds of no change. These shifts reflect moderating inflation data and mixed economic signals that have pushed investors to price in a more accommodative monetary policy. This trend has already begun to affect bond yields and equity valuations. Crypto traders may see this easing bias as bullish for digital assets, as lower rates can boost liquidity and risk appetite. Monitoring Fed rate cut expectations remains key for timing crypto market entries and managing portfolio risk.

Arthur Hayes warns that surging US Treasury issuance is forcing marginal buyers, especially Cayman hedge funds, to rely on overnight repo financing. This has pushed the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) above the Fed funds rate ceiling. To alleviate cash strains, the Federal Reserve’s Standing Repo Facility (SRF) now acts as a lender of last resort, providing unlimited collateralized cash. This hidden QE expands base money off-balance-sheet and boosts global dollar liquidity without formal asset purchases. As SRF usage climbs, Hayes predicts it will trigger a new Bitcoin bull market. Traders should brace for volatility amid a looming U.S. government shutdown and monitor SRF injections as a gauge of hidden QE. Accumulating Bitcoin while preserving capital is advised ahead of expected upward momentum.

On Nov 5, 2025, Ethereum’s price plunged nearly 9% on OKX from above $3,300 to $3,192, marking one of its steepest daily declines in weeks. The sell-off highlighted renewed bearish momentum across the crypto market and prompted traders to eye the next support level near $3,000. Market participants should monitor on-chain indicators, short-term moving averages, trading volume and option open interest, as well as Bitcoin price action, macroeconomic data releases and upcoming Ethereum network upgrades for signs of stabilization or further downside risk.

AI in crypto is driving a surge in sophisticated scams—ransomware, automated “pig butchering”, deepfake fraud and AI-powered market manipulation—while compliance teams face targeted social engineering and malware-laced attacks. Elliptic’s cross-stakeholder research identifies five major AI-related risk areas: deception, AI-powered scams, LLM-facilitated cyberattacks, large-scale disinformation and illicit marketplaces. To counter these threats, Elliptic’s AI Copilot streamlines AML compliance by summarizing wallet risk factors, saving investigators over 25 minutes per case and halving review times. Joint R&D with MIT-IBM Watson leverages deep learning models to flag illicit transactions across 50+ blockchains, with datasets and refined algorithms published to bolster blockchain analytics and market integrity. Best practices cover detection, education and regulation to help virtual asset services stay ahead of evolving threats. As AI in crypto evolves, traders should monitor AI-powered analytics and compliance solutions to balance innovation with security.

A new analysis highlights nine crypto presales to watch in 2025, led by BullZilla (BZIL). BullZilla’s Stage 9 presale price stands at $0.00021906 with a confirmed listing target of $0.00527, implying a 2,306% return. More than $1 million has been raised from over 3,400 holders securing 31 billion BZIL tokens; a $7,000 investment locks in nearly 32 million tokens. Early participants benefit from staking rewards, referral bonuses and the Roar Burn deflationary model, which triggers price increases every $100,000 raised or every 48 hours. Other notable crypto presales include Bonk (BONK) on Solana, MoonBull (MOBU) with 95% APY staking and on-chain governance, La Culex (CULEX) offering 80% APY and zero tax, Shiba Inu (SHIB) via Shibarium, and new additions like Ethereum (ETH), Avalanche (AVAX), Stellar (XLM), Sui (SUI), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Hyperliquid (HYPE). Traders should consider timing entry before exchange listings and supply-driven rallies to maximise allocation and upside.

Bitcoin has surged past $115K on hopes of a Fed rate cut, reigniting risk-on sentiment in the crypto market. However, large investors have locked in profits, driving an altcoin rotation focused on high-upside opportunities like the Digitap presale. The Digitap presale has raised over $1.3M as token prices climb from $0.0268 to $0.0297 across rounds. Digitap offers a live omnibanking app, multi-currency IBANs, a No-KYC Visa card compatible with Apple Pay and Google Pay, sub-1% cross-border fees, and anonymous virtual cards. Institutional-grade audits by Solidproof and Coinsult, plus a buyback-and-burn mechanism and a five-year team lock, underpin strong tokenomics and security. Presale participants can stake for up to 124% APR, with post-launch staking capped at 100% APR. Traders are watching whether Treasury yields and dollar strength stabilize to sustain crypto demand. The Digitap presale stands out as a potential 50x play amid Fed uncertainty, presenting bullish upside for those seeking high-growth altcoin exposure.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) extended its downtrend in early November as its daily burn rate collapsed by over 85% to just 1.6 million tokens, signaling weakening demand. Whale holdings plunged from around 220 billion to 107 billion SHIB within weeks while smart money trimmed positions by 23.5% over three months, intensifying selling pressure. On-chain metrics on Shibarium flagged further deterioration: TVL down 43% to $873,820, daily fees below $10, and active accounts under 400. Futures open interest slumped to $67 million from a year-to-date high of $600 million. Technically, SHIB broke below the $0.00001 support, trading under its 50- and 100-day EMAs. Analysts now eye a bearish target near $0.0000085. Traders should monitor any rebound in burn rates, renewed whale buying, and Shibarium engagement for potential bullish signals.

Bitcoin edged down to about $102,000 on Tuesday, slipping 11.8% this week and marking its lowest level since June. Four consecutive days of red candles have driven the cryptocurrency toward the critical $100,000 support. Ether fell below $3,410 after a 6% intraday drop, trading near three-month lows. Major altcoins including XRP, BNB, SOL, DOGE and ADA lost 5–7% intraday, wiping out 15–26% of weekly gains. Crypto stocks such as MicroStrategy, Coinbase and Galaxy Digital also hit multi-month lows. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index plunged to 21–28, signaling extreme fear. Bitcoin treasury firm Sequans added selling pressure by liquidating 970 BTC. Traders should watch $100,000 for Bitcoin and $3,500 for Ether as elevated volatility and negative sentiment could trigger further liquidations before any rebound.

Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy has publicly denied rumors that his market-making firm planned a lawsuit against Binance following the October 10 Bitcoin crash. Gaevoy called the Binance lawsuit claims “complete bullshit,” stating Wintermute suffered no verified liquidity losses on the exchange and urging traders to rely on official sources. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao also dismissed the lawsuit rumors and cautioned against unverified reports. In response to the crash, during which Bitcoin plunged from over $121,000 to below $103,000, Binance launched a $400 million user support program to stabilize markets. Additionally, nonprofit Coin Center filed an amicus brief in the trial of the Peraire-Bueno brothers, challenging the U.S. government’s “honest validator” theory related to Ethereum MEV manipulation. The episode underscores the effects of misinformation and legal scrutiny on crypto liquidity providers.

Bitcoin’s November rally is historically strong, averaging 30–42% gains since 2013. The Bitcoin November rally, backed by factors like holiday optimism and post-halving cycles, followed last October’s 11% drop. Institutional inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasury allocations hit new highs, boosting liquidity. Layer-2 scaling solutions — Lightning Network and the newly launched Bitcoin Hyper — attract attention with faster, low-cost transactions and smart-contract features. Traders target 10–25% gains if macro conditions hold, monitoring volume spikes and liquidity flows. Risks include macroeconomic headwinds, regulatory shifts, and project resilience.

Dash has seen two rapid rallies this week. On November 1, the privacy coin jumped 56% to $72.66, lifting its market cap to $902.3 million. Three days later, Dash surged again, adding 50% in 24 hours to reach $145.95 and pushing its market cap to $1.8 billion. Trading volume topped $2 billion, triggering $1.34 billion in liquidations, of which 88% were long positions. This momentum outpaced rivals like Zcash and Monero, signaling a potential privacy coin season amid Bitcoin’s dip below $105,000. Dash’s hybrid PoW/PoS model, optional coin mixing and masternode governance underpin its appeal. Real-world use cases in emerging markets and a 25% year-on-year rise in privacy network volume, per Chainalysis, support Dash’s long-term value. Despite trading 91% below its 2017 high, traders should monitor Bitcoin levels, privacy coin momentum and liquidation risks for short-term entries.

Binance will route 50% of GIGGLE memecoin trading fees to Giggle Academy through an on-chain smart contract. The GIGGLE Token’s contract automatically sends donations, where Giggle Academy burns 50% of the tokens and converts the remainder into BNB to fund education initiatives. CZ emphasized that Giggle Academy has no official affiliation with the GIGGLE Token, clarifying earlier confusion that spurred a 30% price drop. After an initial 300% surge, GIGGLE’s 24-hour trading volume jumped 106% to $179 million amid market volatility. This transparent on-chain donation model reduces intermediary risk and bolsters market trust. The GIGGLE token burn mechanism helps curb inflation, while BNB conversions ensure liquidity for global programs. Traders should track GIGGLE’s on-chain metrics and fee allocations to gauge community support and potential price stability.

UBS has completed the industry’s first live onchain tokenized fund redemption on the Ethereum blockchain. The bank used Chainlink’s Digital Transfer Agent standard and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, with DigiFT as the on-chain distributor and SWIFT messaging under ISO 20022. UBS Tokenize automated order-taking, execution, settlement, and data synchronization between on-chain and legacy systems while meeting institutional compliance standards. This onchain tokenized fund redemption for the UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund marks a major milestone for the $100 trillion global fund industry. It highlights tokenized finance’s potential to enhance operational efficiency and future DeFi composability in institutional asset management.

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk reignited interest in the Dogecoin-funded DOGE-1 moon mission by tweeting ’It’s time’. The 12U CubeSat, paid entirely in DOGE through a partnership with Geometric Energy Corp, was delayed from 2022 to late 2025. Despite Musk’s remark, Dogecoin traded around $0.1655 amid broader crypto market weakness, Fed hawkishness and low liquidity. Traders are watching regulatory updates, confirmed launch milestones and macro indicators like interest rates and risk appetite for potential volatility. While a successful lunar mission could boost Dogecoin adoption long term, immediate price impact remains muted.

Stream Finance’s collapse began when an external fund manager lost $93 M, forcing the protocol to pause and triggering its synthetic asset xUSD to fall from $1 to $0.33. DeFi researchers Yields and More mapped over $284 M in DeFi debt across lending platforms and stablecoins, revealing debt rehypothecation on Euler, Silo, Morpho, Sonic and Gearbox. Major exposures include TelosC ($123 M), Elixir deUSD ($68 M) and MEV Capital ($25.4 M), while Elixir has paused redemptions pending legal review of its contractual 1:1 deUSD rights. This DeFi debt incident exposes systemic vulnerabilities in high-yield DeFi infrastructure and highlights the need for enhanced transparency, risk assessment tools and standardized audits as total value locked in DeFi exceeds $100 B. Traders should monitor on-chain debt migrations, collateral health and stablecoin reserves to gauge contagion risk from the Stream Finance collapse.

Community-launched memecoin GIGGLE token on BNB Smart Chain has spiked 222% since its September 2025 launch, surging from $24 million to roughly $240 million, before crashing to $60 million and rebounding to $90 million. Giggle Academy and Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao have denied any link to the GIGGLE token. The GIGGLE token includes a 5% trade donation to crypto education via the Giggle Fund, and Binance plans to give 50% of trading fees to charity from December. Officials warn traders to avoid phishing scams and unknown links. The episode underlines the risks of high-volatility memecoins, potential pump-and-dump schemes, and the need for due diligence in trading altcoins.

Ethereum stablecoin volume hit a record $2.8 trillion in October, up 45% from September. On-chain data show transfers on Ethereum have climbed 1,000% since May 2023. This surge underscores stablecoins’ growing role in cross-border and 24/7 digital payments. The market capitalization of Ethereum stablecoins topped $165 billion, led by USDT supply rising 8.1% to 85.88 billion tokens and USDC climbing 5.8% to 48.2 billion tokens. Total stablecoin circulation now exceeds $308 billion, with annual transaction volumes surpassing $27 trillion. Major issuers are shifting focus to settlement infrastructure: Tether rolled out consumer and institutional Plasma payment solutions, while Circle launched its Arc platform. Regulatory advances such as the GENIUS Act and Circle’s planned IPO are further accelerating stablecoin adoption. Traders can expect continued volatility hedging and liquidity demand on Ethereum.

UnifAI has rolled out its UAI tokenomics on Binance Smart Chain with a fixed supply of 1 billion UAI tokens. The model allocates 20.75% to foundation and treasury, 20% to protocol development, 18.75% to marketing, 15% to team and advisors, 13.33% to ecosystem and community incentives, 7% to liquidity and 5.35% to early investors. As part of its governance framework, UAI tokenomics enables service payments, governance voting, staking rewards and yield distribution. Listing support from Binance Alpha and Binance Futures is expected to boost UAI liquidity and market visibility. Traders should monitor token unlocking phases, staking incentives and AI-Web3 integration for potential trading opportunities. The balanced allocation aims to reduce market volatility, foster decentralization and sustain long-term value.

Solana is developing an internet capital market to enable on-chain IPOs within the next few years. These on-chain IPOs will tokenize equity offerings on Solana’s high-throughput, low-fee blockchain, improving liquidity and transparent price discovery. The initiative builds on collaborations with Franklin Templeton and Western Union to expand blockchain payments and stablecoin infrastructure, including support for Western Union’s USD Payment Token (USDPT) with a full rollout in H1 2026 via Anchorage Digital Bank. The global stablecoin market, valued at $307 billion, already includes $14.25 billion in USDC on Solana. By leveraging fast, cost-effective transactions, Solana aims to position itself at the forefront of blockchain finance and accelerate token-market growth through chain-native IPOs.

Strategy’s Bitcoin treasury accumulation and BitMine’s Ethereum treasury expansion underscore ongoing institutional demand. Between October 27 and November 2, Strategy added 397 BTC (≈$45.6 million) funded by perpetual preferred stock, raising its total Bitcoin treasury to ~641,000 BTC (over 3% of supply), now valued at $68.8 billion against a $47.5 billion cost basis. BitMine Immersion acquired 82,353 ETH (≈$302 million), boosting its Ethereum treasury to 3.4 million ETH (2.8% of supply) and lifting crypto and cash assets to $14.5 billion, though its Ethereum treasury remains underwater at $12.4 billion vs a $13.3 billion cost. Recent bearish price action saw Bitcoin’s institutional net accumulation dip below miner issuance for the first time in seven months. Traders should watch these corporate treasury moves as they reinforce mid- to long-term bullish momentum on Bitcoin treasury growth and signal sustained institutional support for Ethereum treasury demand.

According to a JPMorgan report cited by CoinDesk, Bitcoin hashrate climbed 5% to 1,082 EH/s in October and has since surged to a record 1,157 EH/s. The rising Bitcoin hashrate boosts network security and decentralization but intensifies mining competition and pushes difficulty to new highs. Block reward revenue fell 3% to about $48,000 per EH/s per day. Publicly listed U.S. mining firms saw their market caps jump 25% to $70 billion, driven by strategic AI pivots and the diversification of computing infrastructure for AI workloads. Despite robust network growth, Bitcoin’s price remains range-bound, suggesting market reactions lag behind hashrate gains. Traders should watch energy costs, hardware efficiency, and miners’ AI strategies for their impact on mining profitability and Bitcoin price momentum.
