The MoonBull presale has raised over $550,000 across five stages, attracting 1,700+ holders. Stage 5 tokens trade at $0.00006584, up 27.4% per stage, implying up to 9,256% ROI to a $0.00616 listing price; Stage 1 investors have booked 163% gains. The ERC-20 token runs on a deflationary model taxing trades at 2% for liquidity, 2% for reflections and 1% burns. It offers 95% APY staking and a 15% USDC referral bonus. Price steps of 27.4% apply through Stage 22 and 20.38% in Stage 23, boosting liquidity and DeFi integration. Ethereum trades at $3,756.46 (24h vol $26.9 B), supporting DeFi and NFTs. Bitcoin is at $109,563.99 (24h vol $37.6 B), targeting $120,000 on ETF inflows. Litecoin holds at $95.93, up 2.3% amid halving anticipation. For crypto traders, MoonBull presale’s high APY staking, structured pricing and deflationary tokenomics offer both short-term trading gains and long-term yield strategies. As ETH and BTC remain stable, the presale stands out among early-stage token launches.

Crypto lobbying has surged from under $2.5 million annually before 2021 to $8.5 million that year, then climbed exponentially. A presidential pardon for Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao intensified scrutiny of the sector’s political influence. In the 2024 election cycle, crypto groups launched the Fairshake Super PAC, raising over $260 million and spending nearly $196 million on campaign contributions. Stablecoin issuer Tether plans to set up a U.S. entity for direct political donations ahead of the 2026 midterms. With about $263 million in political capital, crypto lobbying now rivals Big Oil in Washington. Traders should watch for policy shifts in decentralization, market competition, and regulation as this surge in crypto lobbying could reshape the U.S. political landscape.

Standard Chartered CEO Bill Winters forecasts that blockchain technology will underpin all global payments and transactions, delivering faster settlement, greater transparency, lower costs and enhanced security. The bank is already piloting distributed ledger solutions in trade finance and foreign-exchange settlements, and testing digital token-based back-office processes with partners like Singapore Exchange. Winters warned that without regulatory clarity, scalable interoperability and robust cybersecurity, widespread blockchain adoption and the tokenization of real-world assets could be delayed. He expects global blockchain transactions and asset tokenization to unlock new trading opportunities, boost financial inclusion and compel financial institutions to embrace digital ledger systems or risk falling behind.

Chainlink Rewards Season 1, launched on November 11, 2025, runs until December 9. It rewards eligible LINK stakers with Cubes based on past staking activity, using a November 3 snapshot. From November 11 to December 9, stakers visit rewards.chain.link to allocate Cubes among nine Chainlink Build projects, including Dolomite (DOLO), Space and Time (SXT), XSwap (XSWAP), Brickken (BKN), Folks Finance (FOLKS), Mind Network (FHE), Suku (SUKU), Truf Network (TRUF) and bitsCrunch (BITS). The Cubes allocation incurs no on-chain fees and forms the core of the token claim process. Starting December 16, project tokens unlock linearly over 90 days. Participants can use the optional Early Unlock feature to claim a portion immediately, with the remaining tokens added to a loyalty pool for patient stakers. Chainlink Rewards Season 1 boosts LINK staking incentives, enhances network security, and drives DeFi rewards and community growth. Traders should assess each project’s fundamentals before distributing Cubes to optimize their token claim strategy.

MicroStrategy bought 397 Bitcoin (~$45.6m) at an average price of $114,771 each in early November. This slows its buying pace sharply from September’s 3,526 BTC and October’s 778 BTC, bringing total holdings to 641,205 BTC purchased for $47.49bn. CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju warns that reduced purchases by MicroStrategy and U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs may drag on market momentum and delay a price recovery. Traders should watch institutional buying and ETF inflows closely for signals of renewed demand.

On November 4, 2025, the Philippine Senate committees on Science and Technology and Finance held the second public hearing on the Blockchain Budget Bill (SB 1330). Senators and experts debated whether to require a blockchain-specific platform for public spending transparency or adopt a technology-neutral framework. Supporters such as DICT Secretary Henry Aguda and industry group Twala touted blockchain’s ability to curb corruption, secure records and unlock government grants for Web3 builders, while opponents like WeSolve Foundation warned of potential access barriers. Sponsor Senator Bam Aquino signaled openness to a technology-neutral “Secure and Open the Budget Bill” alternative proposed by Ann Cuisia. Traders should monitor the Blockchain Budget Bill’s final framework ahead of the Senate plenary vote, as formal recognition of blockchain in the budget process could spur pilot projects, institutional adoption and higher valuations in the Philippine crypto market.

Shiba Inu has fallen below the bottom of its eight-month trading range, dipping under $0.0000093 and forming a new short-term band between $0.0000093 and $0.0000113. On-chain data show intensified whale selling: top holders have reduced SHIB balances steadily since September, with spikes in dormant token movements on October 19 and 26 signaling large-holder distribution. Burn rates surged by 139% last week but have since declined, mirroring broader memecoin weakness amid Dogecoin selling pressure. Technical indicators on the four-hour chart confirm bearish momentum: the MACD is negative, and rallies are rejected near $0.0000103, though the on-balance volume (OBV) has formed higher lows. Traders should monitor whale accumulation and key support at $0.0000093. A sustained break below this level could accelerate the downtrend, while renewed buying by large holders may be required to stabilize Shiba Inu’s price.

An experienced crypto trader spent 30 days on high-leverage perpetual trading on Hyperliquid, focusing on the XPL token with maximum leverage and no stop-loss. Early success doubled his account, aided by liquidation alerts from a Telegram bot and expanding into other tokens as leverage limits rose. A sharp sell-off on October 10 triggered a 33% drawdown, exposing the risks of reckless perpetual trading. After recovering losses through precise entry timing, he overhauled his approach. He now enforces strict stop-losses, uses TWAP orders, reduces position sizes and limits trades to short-term setups. This journey highlights the crucial role of risk management, disciplined leverage and peer support in sustainable crypto trading.

Nasdaq-listed asset manager Strive plans to issue 1.25 million Series A Variable Rate Perpetual Preferred Shares (SATA) with a 12% annual dividend, paid monthly in cash. Co-led by Barclays and Cantor Fitzgerald and modeled on MicroStrategy’s preferred stock program, the offering aims to raise funds for Bitcoin acquisitions, income-generating assets, working capital and potential stock buybacks while limiting common-stock dilution. Strive currently holds nearly 6,000 BTC and expects to boost its treasury to about 11,000 BTC following its merger with Semler Scientific. By tapping high-yield SATA shares, Strive accelerates its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy without diluting existing shareholders.

MSTR Preferred Stock IPO: Strategy Inc (NASDAQ:MSTR) has launched an IPO of 3.5 million shares of its 10.00% Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock, priced at €10 per share and denominated in euros. The euro-denominated MSTR Preferred Stock IPO is designed to raise net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including balance-sheet strengthening and strategic investments. With a fixed 10% dividend and no maturity date, this perpetual instrument enhances capital flexibility and broadens MSTR’s European investor base. Traders should monitor potential equity dilution, dividend yield attractiveness and euro-currency exposure to gauge the IPO’s impact on trading strategies.

Coinbase has updated its listing roadmap to include Monad (MON), marking its intent to launch Monad trading once liquidity support is in place and technical preparations are complete. No specific listing date has been announced; trading details will be published in a subsequent notice. Coinbase’s listing roadmap inclusion reflects rising market interest in Monad. Traders should monitor updates on liquidity provision and technical readiness, as increased liquidity could generate new trading opportunities and higher market engagement.

Bitcoin hashrate hit a record 1.13 ZH/s in October, up 5% month-on-month. Gains were driven by rising miner participation in North America, Kazakhstan and the Middle East. Network security strengthened but block difficulty jumped 3% MoM and now sits 80% above pre-halving levels. This led mining profitability to fall for a third straight month, with daily revenue per EH/s down 7% to $48,000 and hashprice off nearly 12% amid a weaker BTC price. The spike in Bitcoin hashrate coincided with rising energy costs, especially at off-grid sites, and power curtailments in Europe and the US, further squeezing margins. Analysts expect hashrate growth to moderate in November, with the next difficulty adjustment offering relief to smaller miners. Meanwhile, the combined market cap of 14 US-listed mining firms jumped 25% to $70bn, driven by high-performance computing expansions and pivots into AI. Cipher Mining led with a 48% share gain, while Cango lagged with a 5% decline.

REX-Osprey XRP ETF reached $100 million in assets under management within its first month, outpacing early spot Bitcoin ETFs. The rapid inflows are driven predominantly by institutional investors seeking regulated exposure and clean custody solutions. Analysts highlight the XRP ETF’s high liquidity, transaction efficiency and clear regulatory standing as key factors. With the SEC lawsuit against Ripple nearing conclusion, additional spot XRP ETFs are expected to launch within weeks. Experts predict these products could trigger capital inflows and spark a price rally similar to the post-spot Bitcoin ETF surge. Traders should monitor XRP ETF flows and AUM trends closely as indicators of shifting market sentiment.

Marathon Digital Holdings (NASDAQ: MARA) will report Q3 earnings on November 4 after market close, with consensus GAAP EPS of $0.67 and revenue outlook tied to rising Bitcoin prices and higher mining output. Analysts expect Marathon Digital’s Q3 production growth and increased hash rate to support top-line performance, but note mixed estimate revisions and flat guidance amid strategic diversification uncertainty. Investors are focused on Marathon’s potential AI/HPC pivot to monetize GPU capacity—mirroring peers IREN and CleanSpark, which secured valuation gains from AI-related GPU revenues. A clear GPU monetization plan could drive multiple expansion and strengthen long-term growth prospects. Traders should monitor Bitcoin price trends, hash rate updates, and any management guidance on AI initiatives to gauge short-term share movements and broader crypto mining stock performance.

Noomez ($NNZ) has launched Stage 2 of its Binance Smart Chain presale at $0.0000123. The Noomez presale uses a 28-stage, deflationary meme coin model with ascending prices and automated burns of unsold tokens. A Noom Gauge tracks community progress. Each stage includes a “Stage X Million” airdrop and a 10% referral bonus. Investors participate via BNB-compatible wallets like MetaMask or Trust Wallet, depositing at least $20 in BNB. Upcoming Noom Vault events unlock surprise airdrops, NFT drops, strategic burns, and partner token rewards through the Noom Engine. Optional staking from 30 to 365 days offers bonus yields funded by the Noom Stake reserve. With a fixed 280 billion $NNZ supply, this structured presale aims to boost scarcity, drive long-term value, and engage traders seeking high-growth meme coin plays.

SUI token plunged 9% to $2.10 overnight after institutional selling drove volume up over 600% and broke below key support at $2.16. The drop follows an earlier decline below $2.60 as high-volume trades triggered algorithmic sell-offs. A sharp V-shaped rebound from $2.04 stalled at $2.13, indicating weak buying conviction. The CoinDesk 5 Index also fell 3.35%, underscoring sector-wide pressure. High volume on the breakdown suggests large-block repositioning by institutions rather than retail panic. Traders should monitor $2.16 resistance and $2.04 support for clues on SUI’s next moves and overall market stability.

GrantiX will launch its AI SocialFi mainnet on Arbitrum in December. The blockchain-agnostic platform tokenizes the $1.57 trillion impact investing market. It integrates DeFi and CeFi, impact staking and a gamified Learn-to-Earn model. Its CertiK-audited smart contracts have processed 15,000 donations worth $200,000 and granted $50,000. GrantiX’s AI Evaluation Layer analyzes project efficiency, matches funding to high-impact causes and flags early risks. Backed by $850,000 in angel funding, the platform supports over 40 active projects in disaster relief, mental health and environmental causes. Upcoming IDO and IEO presales, CEX listings and a global marketing rollout aim to bridge traditional philanthropy – $592 billion in 2024 – with crypto giving, which topped $1 billion in 2025. By creating a transparent, revenue-positive impact layer for Web3, GrantiX positions itself as a catalyst for blockchain philanthropy and broader DeFi adoption.

The Balancer exploit drained $128 million across Ethereum mainnet and multiple layer-2 networks. Attackers manipulated the manageUserBalance function and exploited faulty pool logic via flash loans to execute unauthorized withdrawals on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon and Beets DEX forks. Key losses included $70 million on Ethereum and $6 million on Arbitrum. In response, core developers paused all affected pools and deployed security patches to block further unauthorized withdrawals. Berachain halted its production chain to protect $12 million in user funds and prepare an emergency hard fork. Yield optimizer Beefy Finance paused Balancer V2 products and pledged user support. Over 20 Balancer V2 forks are under review. Traders saw spikes in volatility for BAL, ETH and other DeFi tokens and are advised to avoid affected pools until full audits conclude. This Balancer exploit underscores the need for tighter smart-contract audits, real-time monitoring and DeFi insurance solutions, which will shape short-term trading opportunities.

Last week saw a $360 million crypto outflow from digital asset investment products after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell cautioned that December rate cuts were “not a foregone conclusion.” Bitcoin ETFs led the withdrawals, with $946 million exiting, including $390 million from iShares Bitcoin Trust and $156 million from Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund. Bitcoin traded near $107,727, down 12% over the past month. This crypto outflow underscores trader concerns over prolonged high interest rates and policy uncertainty. In contrast, investors rotated into altcoin vehicles: Solana’s newly launched US staking ETFs attracted $421 million, Ethereum funds recorded $57.6 million in inflows, and XRP, Sui, and Litecoin combined for $54 million gains. Regional trends diverged as German and Swiss products saw $32 million and $30.8 million inflows respectively. The shift highlights demand for yield-bearing assets and diversification amid continued policy uncertainty.

Pi Network price has collapsed over 90% from its all-time high of $2.98 to near $0.15, shrinking its market cap from $20 billion to under $2 billion as relentless token unlocks, centralization concerns, limited utility and liquidity drain triggered massive sell-offs. Spot-market volumes have dwindled and major exchanges remain hesitant to list PI, exacerbating illiquidity and downside pressure. The Valor Pi ETP saw assets fall from $3,400 to $3,000 since launch. Technical indicators signal a potential bullish reversal: price has breached the lower boundary of a falling wedge and trades below the 50-day EMA, with RSI in oversold territory and PPO divergences pointing to a breakout targeting $0.50 (120% upside). Developers are addressing challenges by investing in AI node projects like OpenMind, launching a DEX/AMM testnet for PancakeSwap and Raydium integration, and rolling out KYC tools to unlock mainnet PI. Future catalysts include major exchange listings, real-world utility expansion and possible token burns for Pi Network price.

Zcash’s market capitalization has overtaken Monero as its price rallied from $50 in September to over $430, a gain nearing 1,000%. The surge was driven by rising trading volumes, a technical breakout from resistance and November’s block-reward halving. Endorsements from Naval Ravikant and Arthur Hayes amplified momentum. Zcash’s optional privacy design lets users toggle between transparent and shielded transactions and offers viewing keys for regulated audits. Monero’s mandatory privacy has led to delisting from major exchanges under AML/KYC rules, constraining liquidity. Listings on Coinbase, growing institutional products like the $137 million Grayscale Zcash Trust and developments such as the Zashi CrossPay protocol further support ZEC’s adoption. Traders view this shift as a power move in the privacy-coin sector, favoring regulatory-friendly privacy assets and signaling a potential market leadership change.

Eightco’s INFINITY Pilot, an AI-resistant authentication platform, has onboarded Coinbase and Kraken in its November launch to reinforce digital asset security. The INFINITY Pilot leverages AI-resistant verification to combat deepfakes and synthetic ID fraud by confirming human identity across crypto workflows. Following the announcement, Eightco’s shares rose 1.10% pre-market to $4.59. This collaboration underscores growing demand for robust identity verification in crypto trading and may drive wider adoption of human authentication solutions across exchanges and blockchain applications.

Financial author Robert Kiyosaki warns that a massive market crash has begun, urging investors to shift capital into Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and silver as safe havens. He predicts Bitcoin could reach $1 million and forecasts silver may triple in value. Over the past six months, Bitcoin has gained 11%, with trading volumes surging to $47 billion amid record crypto ETF inflows. Analysts cite Lightning Network upgrades and growing institutional demand as key drivers. Critics note Kiyosaki’s prior crash calls have not materialized, but high debt and inflation risks support hedging strategies. Traders should monitor liquidity, uneven order books and central bank policies. Bitcoin and Ethereum remain core protections in volatile markets.

The 2025 crypto presales market is shifting from hype to real utility and innovation. Mono Protocol (MONO) leads with its chain-abstraction cross-chain DeFi infrastructure, universal gas and Resource Locks. Priced at $0.045 in presale, MONO targets a 1,011% upside at launch, backed by a Reward Hub offering up to 200% bonuses, plus an upcoming smart contract audit and CEO AMA. DeepSnitch secured $480K to deliver AI-driven blockchain insights and whale tracking. Nexchain (NEX) blends PoS and AI for fast, fair consensus, raising $11.35M with a 100% bonus. BlockchainFX raised $10.4M from 15,000 participants to build structured trading tools. MoonBull (MOBU) shields small investors with automated liquidity, reflections, burns, referral bonuses and APY staking. Deflationary token BullZilla adds auto-burns and referral rewards. These crypto presales exemplify a new wave of transparent tokenomics and user-centric Web3 solutions.

TIME Magazine has named Crypto & Blockchain among its 300 Best Inventions of 2025. This year’s list—the largest since its inception—spotlights innovations judged by originality, effectiveness and real-world impact. Crypto blockchain solutions were praised for boosting transparency and efficiency in finance, from real-world asset tokenization and spot ETFs to central bank digital currency (CBDC) trials and on-chain settlement. Governments in the U.S., Hong Kong and Brazil have advanced regulations on stablecoins, national reserves and digital payments. Institutional investors are also fueling market maturity. The listing underscores crypto blockchain adoption across DeFi, enterprise solutions and creative industries. Traders can view this mainstream recognition as a bullish signal for crypto blockchain markets, likely to boost confidence and drive further adoption.

XRP is trading in a descending channel since October, now testing resistance near $2.60 after fluctuating between $2.40 and $2.55. The $2.00 support zone (1.95–2.10) has historically held during corrections; a clear hold could trigger a rebound. Technical indicators show reduced upward momentum with lower highs and an RSI around 68. On the upside, breaking $2.60 and $3.30 could pave the way to Fibonacci extension targets at $8.50, $13.70 and $27.40. ETF developments are bolstering XRP flows: the REX-Osprey XRP ETF raised over $110 million in its first month, while Bitwise updated its NYSE-listed altcoin ETF application (0.34% fee). Altcoin ETFs like Litecoin (LTC) and HBAR saw significant early inflows, suggesting ETF optimism may support XRP liquidity and price. Traders should monitor volume at $2.00 support and ETF news for potential breakout signals.

Global publicly traded non-mining firms net purchased $366 million in Bitcoin last week, up from $33.74 million previously reported, according to SoSoValue. Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) led the buying with $45.6 million for 397 BTC at an average price of $114,771, boosting its holdings to 641,205 BTC. Collectively, these companies now hold 875,580 BTC—about 4.39% of circulating supply—valued at roughly $94.34 billion. This sustained institutional investment underscores rising corporate adoption of Bitcoin as a reserve asset, which could enhance market liquidity and underpin price support.

Since the January 2024 launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, retail Bitcoin inflows to exchanges have plunged by roughly 80%, dropping from an average of 450 BTC per day to just 92 BTC. On-chain data from CryptoQuant and Glassnode shows small “shrimp” addresses holding under 0.1 BTC fell from 4.58 million to 4.44 million. Meanwhile, institutional and ETF-driven inflows now dominate, totaling around 3,900 BTC daily—over 40 times the retail input at the lowest weekly trough. Experts say spot Bitcoin ETFs offer low-friction access that has shifted demand away from on-chain purchases, marking a structural move toward a more centralized liquidity model. Traders should monitor ETF net asset creations and on-chain metrics to gauge demand shifts. While reduced retail activity may temper short-term volatility, sustained institutional buying is likely to stabilize Bitcoin prices over the medium term. Balancing direct on-chain holdings with ETF exposure could optimise trading strategies as the Bitcoin ecosystem evolves.

The GIGGLE memecoin on Binance combines a charity model with sharp volatility. At launch, GIGGLE surged over 200% to $241.27, driven by its 5% transaction tax that converts fees into BNB donations for Changpeng Zhao’s Giggle Academy—107,000 BNB (≈$12M) raised to date. The token’s 1M supply and thin liquidity trigger steep swings; past drops exceeded 70%. Binance then pledged to donate 50% of spot and margin trading fees to charity, sparking a 150% volume surge and a spike to $110. The price later corrected to around $59—near its 30-day moving average ($59.23) with an RSI of 50—indicating neutral momentum. Binance clarifies GIGGLE memecoin is unofficial, not issued by Giggle Academy, and Zhao welcomes the plan. Traders should weigh the coin’s social impact against ongoing price discovery and volatility.
