SHAZ fell 12.2% over 24 hours and was trading at 24.25 USDT, according to MSX.COM data cited by Odaily. The report provided no explanation for the decline. The sharp move puts SHAZ under short-term selling pressure, but the available information does not establish whether the drop reflects token-specific news or broader market conditions.

Strive vice president Joe Burnett said SATS is now listed on Roxom. Strive’s preferred stock offers a 15% annualized dividend yield, with dividends paid in Bitcoin every business day through the platform. The listing adds a Bitcoin-denominated income option for investors, though the announcement did not provide details on trading volume or investor demand.

Bancor’s Carbon DeFi introduces asymmetric liquidity, allowing traders to set separate price ranges, budgets and curves for buying and selling. Unlike conventional concentrated liquidity, which uses one range for both directions, asymmetric liquidity can keep acquired tokens from being sold back at lower prices. Carbon’s Recurring Orders automatically direct filled orders’ proceeds to the opposite side, including after partial fills. Traders can adjust ranges and spreads, or choose one-way limit and range orders instead. The feature offers greater control over onchain execution, but does not guarantee fills or profits; outcomes still depend on market prices and available takers.

The Muse Spark Open Kernel Challenge, launched with Meta and Andromeda, will award $100,000 to developers who improve the performance of Meta’s 816-billion-parameter Muse Spark Open model on NVIDIA H200 GPUs. First place will also receive an H200 GPU signed by the Meta team. The competition has two consecutive tracks ending on November 19, 2026. The first covers five kernel tasks, including attention and mixture-of-experts workloads, with submissions measured against the SGLang baseline. The second asks competitors to optimize SGLang itself, testing throughput and response times on a full eight-H200 server under different workloads. The organizers say faster kernels could reduce serving costs and improve access to the open-weight model for researchers and users. Entries will use the Apache 2.0 license, allowing successful optimizations to be shared and potentially incorporated into SGLang. The Muse Spark Open Kernel Challenge runs on Hopper-generation H200 GPUs, which remain widely available at universities and research labs.

Miden has released version 1.0.0-rc.0, a major update to its virtual machine, cryptography and proving tools. The release adopts Eidos as the VM’s native hash, changing some digests, verifier roots and proof formats. It also adds support for cryptographic features including SHA-512, Ed25519, P-256 and ECDSA P-256/SHA-256. The Miden update introduces configurable limits for deferred precompile work and changes CLI defaults for creating and verifying proofs. It also includes security fixes for Keccak, multi-scalar multiplication, Merkle updates and loop control. Many changes are breaking: developers may need to rebuild packages, cached Merkle data and proofs, and update integrations. The release restores a standalone Poseidon2 API for existing applications, but Poseidon2 is not supported for VM proofs.

BitGo has launched BitGo Labs, a research and product unit focused initially on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency. Announced on October 21, the unit will develop applications, research, prototypes and reference implementations using BitGo’s digital-asset infrastructure. BitGo Labs’ first named product is Gokubu, a consumer financial app that the company says is live and accepting registrations. It combines an AI-assisted card, a personalized financial assistant and automated rewards features. The launch marks BitGo’s move from financial infrastructure into consumer applications. The announcement does not establish Gokubu’s user numbers, revenue, fees or full eligibility terms. Its commercial prospects will depend on user adoption and how clearly it handles permissions, costs and financial actions. The news signals a product strategy, but does not indicate an immediate change to cryptocurrency market fundamentals.

Tesla profit fell 43% year over year to $787 million in the third quarter, while revenue was flat at $28.05 billion. Operating profit dropped 56% to $718 million. The company’s research spending rose 69% to $2.76 billion, and capital expenditures more than doubled to $4.73 billion, as vehicle deliveries slipped about 2%. Tesla said its Optimus humanoid robot has entered production at its Fremont, California, factory. Elon Musk is targeting output of 20,000 robots a week, but said reaching that level will take at least a year. Deliveries to outside customers are expected around the end of 2027. Tesla has previously missed Optimus production targets, and the robot’s design and durability remain challenges. Tesla is also aiming to get Cybercab robotaxis to customers by the end of 2026, although vehicles produced so far are intended for its own fleet. The company has not disclosed an initial buyer or final price; its stated target is below $30,000. Musk expects the robotaxi business to become more visible in Tesla’s financial results in 2027. Separately, Tesla and SpaceX boards have formed committees to study a possible combination, but no deal terms have been agreed. The article also included a Bitcoin price widget, but the Tesla developments do not provide a direct catalyst for cryptocurrency markets.

Hardhat Verify 3.1.4 fixes a bug that caused contract verification to fail when a block explorer’s API URL included a query string. The update also upgrades the @nomicfoundation/hardhat-utils dependency to version 5.1.0. The patch improves Hardhat Verify’s compatibility with explorer APIs, but the release notes do not identify any broader feature changes.

Hardhat Viem 3.1.0 adds a `viemChain` option to `chainDescriptors`. Developers can use it to set the full Viem Chain configuration for Hardhat Viem. The release also updates `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-utils` to version 5.1.0. The change improves configuration flexibility for developers but does not announce a token launch or a change to any cryptocurrency’s fundamentals.

Hardhat Viem Assertions 3.1.5 fixes a bug in `emitWithArgs` that prevented indexed string and bytes event arguments from matching their expected values. The release also updates `@nomicfoundation/hardhat-utils` to version 5.1.0. The change improves event assertion reliability for developers testing smart contracts, but the announcement reports no token launch, market data or trading-related changes.

Live casino with crypto is shaped by three factors: stake limits, table speed and studio. Limits determine the minimum and maximum bet, while speed affects how many rounds—and how often the house edge applies—during a session. The article estimates classic roulette at about 40–60 spins per hour, compared with 60 to over 100 at speed or auto tables. At a 2.7% European roulette edge, a 10-unit bet per spin implies an expected loss of roughly 11 units over 40 spins and 27 over 100, illustrating why faster play can use a budget more quickly. Studios including Evolution, Pragmatic Play Live, Playtech Live and Ezugi offer different formats, rules and stake ranges. Crypto users should also consider exchange-rate volatility: BTC balances can fluctuate in value, while USDT may make budgeting easier. The article advises checking each table’s information panel, setting a session budget and time limit, and confirming local gambling rules. These are casino-session considerations, not a change to crypto trading fundamentals.

A comparison of seven crypto sportsbooks finds wide differences in horse racing coverage, betting options and the clarity of published rules. Dexsport ranks first for offering win, place and first-two bets across thoroughbred, harness and greyhound racing. Stake also has broad coverage and offers exotic bets, while BetOnline lists multiple international tracks and US-style wagers. Cloudbet focuses on major meetings and win-only singles; Sportsbet.io, BC.Game and Roobet vary in market availability and public rule detail. For horse racing bettors, key terms include place payouts by field size, deductions for non-runners, dead-heat settlements and payout caps. These rules can materially affect returns, especially on exotic bets such as exactas and trifectas. The article advises checking each sportsbook’s current terms, local legality and staking limits. The ranking concerns betting products, not cryptocurrency prices, and has no direct market impact on digital assets.

An article ranks 11 crypto casinos by privacy policy clarity, signup data requirements and how clearly they explain later identity checks. Dexsport ranks first, followed by Stake and Cloudbet; 7Bit Casino ranks last. The comparison highlights data minimisation: collecting only information needed for a stated purpose. It recommends checking what data is collected, how long it is retained, which providers it is shared with and how users can exercise their privacy rights. Crypto casino policies vary, and wallet transactions remain publicly visible on blockchains regardless of a platform’s policy. The ranking is an editorial comparison, not a change in crypto market conditions.

Ethereum options are pricing in much larger moves than Ether has recently made. Coinbase Markets data for 21 October puts one-month at-the-money implied volatility at 49%, against 30-day realized volatility of 37%. The 12.5-percentage-point gap is in the 90th percentile of readings over the past two years. Other market data showed implied volatility near 49%–51%, while realized volatility was around 32% in mid-to-late October. For options buyers, elevated Ethereum options premiums mean protection or directional exposure costs more, and contracts may lose value if volatility stays subdued. Sellers may earn higher premiums but face losses if sharp price moves arrive. The data identifies no specific catalyst, so the volatility premium is not, by itself, a directional signal. Traders will be watching whether realized volatility rises or implied volatility retreats from around 50%.

AAOI fell 13.7% over 24 hours and was trading at 66.97 USDT, according to data from MSX.COM. The report provides no explanation for the decline. AAOI’s sharp move may be relevant to traders monitoring the asset, but the article does not identify it as a cryptocurrency or link the drop to broader crypto-market conditions.

Dogecoin Labs is bringing wallet, application and payment operations together in a new commercial structure for the Dogecoin ecosystem. House of Doge will contribute selected assets and operations in exchange for an undisclosed equity stake. The businesses involved include the MyDoge wallet, DogeOS and the Such App payments operation. Jordan Jefferson will lead Dogecoin Labs as chief executive. Alex Lewis and Dogecoin Foundation director Tim Stebbing are also named among its leaders. The Foundation has replaced House of Doge’s previous exclusive commercial agreement with a long-term license, and Dogecoin Labs will become its official commercial partner. House of Doge retains rights connected to Dogecoin investment products developed with 21Shares and potential future tokenized alternative investments. The restructuring could make it easier to coordinate Dogecoin services, but it does not change DOGE’s monetary rules or establish new adoption, merchant use or revenue. Traders will be looking for delivered integrations and evidence of repeat usage to assess whether the consolidation has a lasting effect.

Brent crude rose 2.6% to $111.66 a barrel, its highest level in five months, as an AI-linked stock sell-off weighed on markets. By mid-morning in New York, the Nasdaq was down 1.5% and the S&P 500 had fallen 0.8%. Nvidia dropped 2.3%, while Meta fell 5.8% after missing profit forecasts and chip equipment maker Lam Research slid 7.7% after issuing a weaker-than-expected outlook. Debt concerns also pushed cloud computing firm CoreWeave down 3.8%. Asian markets also fell: South Korea’s Kospi lost 3.52%, Japan’s Nikkei 225 declined 2.65%, and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 3.03%. China’s CSI 300 entered bear-market territory. The moves followed a sharp Kospi sell-off on Oct. 15. Higher oil prices add to inflation concerns, while the US 10-year Treasury yield is at 5.03%, up from 3.97% before the Iran war. The Federal Reserve’s next rate decision is due Oct. 28. Markets are also watching core PCE inflation data on Oct. 29 and US payrolls on Nov. 6. Together, the oil surge, elevated yields and AI stock weakness have increased pressure on global markets.

MetaMask’s 8.16.0 release includes updates to trading, wallet features and the app experience. The release adds live profit-and-loss metrics, social-feed and copy-trading improvements, and changes to Perps and Quick Buy. It also includes support updates for Bitcoin and Stellar wallet Snaps, alongside fixes for swaps, deposits, navigation and other app functions. The changes are product updates rather than a major protocol or token announcement; the release notes do not identify a direct market catalyst.

China’s CSI 300 entered bear-market territory on Thursday, falling 1.8% to 4,036.30 and extending its decline from the June peak to about 20.2%. The CSI 300 has fallen for nearly ten weeks as investors sell technology shares and question the profitability of AI investment. Losses spread across Chinese markets: the STAR 50 is nearly 40% below its July peak, the ChiNext is down about 36%, and the CSI Semiconductor Index fell 3.6% on Thursday. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped about 3%, while the Hang Seng Tech Index lost 5%. Alibaba fell more than 6% and Tencent about 2.9%. Weak earnings, including slower-than-expected profit growth at CATL, added to pressure. China’s economy grew 4.5% in the third quarter, but the stronger-than-expected result lowered hopes for substantial new stimulus. The central bank left its one-year and five-year loan prime rates unchanged at 3.0% and 3.5%. Regulators have pledged to monitor market risks, but the CSI 300 decline reflects persistent concerns about valuations, corporate earnings and fading policy support.

Cardano Academy will teach Cardano fundamentals and its extended unspent transaction output (eUTxO) model in the University of Nicosia’s Blockchain and Digital Assets course. The Cardano Foundation is also sponsoring 25 places in the course’s paid advanced track, which UNIC values at about €5,000. The standard upgrade costs €199 per student, and registration closes Nov. 2. UNIC lists Feb. 8, 2027, as the next course start date. Cardano joins other industry contributors, including Ripple, Avalanche and Trezor, in the university’s sessions. The Foundation has also announced a separate agreement to incorporate Cardano Academy materials into a UCLA business course in 2027. The initiatives expand Cardano’s university education and developer outreach, but do not announce a new protocol or direct change to ADA’s token economics.

Cardano has opened its public Dijkstra testnet to stake pool operators as development continues on node 11.2 and a planned upgrade to protocol version 12. The testnet currently runs node 11.1.3 and protocol version 11; the upgrade will begin after node 11.2 is available. The release is expected to include Dijkstra features but exclude Leios, and no mainnet activation date has been announced. Leios testing is proceeding separately on MusashiNet, where a prototype lets downstream teams test integrations before the formal node 11.3 release. Input Output estimates that Leios will require BLS voting keys representing roughly 90–95% of stake before activation. Initial throughput goals are three to five times Cardano’s current transaction capacity, but these remain targets dependent on testing and governance. Upgrade preparations also include discussions on BLS key management, constitutional changes, risk assessments and ecosystem readiness. The announcement concerns test networks, not a completed Cardano mainnet upgrade.

Google Cloud has unveiled Agent Compute Engine, a service designed to run AI agents at scale. It uses hardware-isolated microVMs, allowing agents to run code and use tools in separate environments, with support for rapid starts and pause-and-resume operation. Google says copy-on-write memory sharing has enabled benchmark results of up to 10 times greater agent density on the same hardware. The service also uses Google’s Titanium IPU technology for added security. Agent Compute Engine already powers Google’s Gemini agents internally, while a customer preview is expected soon; no firm date has been announced. For cloud and AI markets, the key questions are whether customers can reproduce the claimed efficiency gains and when the service will become broadly available. The announcement has no direct connection to cryptocurrency markets, but it highlights growing investment in AI infrastructure that could compete for technology capital and computing resources.

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.
