Fidelity: Tax Moves, Not Whales, Fueled Bitcoin Q4 Sell-Off

|
Fidelity’s Digital Assets research team says year-end tax obligations and portfolio rotations, not large whale transactions, drove the recent Bitcoin sell-off in Q4. Chris Kuiper, VP of Digital Assets Research at Fidelity, explained that long-term holders are realizing gains for tax purposes and shifting capital to alternative assets. On-chain metrics from Supply Active signal continued seller exhaustion typical of bear markets rather than bull runs. Analyst PlanB counters that the bulk of Q4 selling originated from buyers who entered around $60,000–$70,000 in 2024, not OG whales. Meanwhile, Bitcoin underperformed gold, the S&P 500, and the Nasdaq during a seasonally bullish quarter. Factors such as a stronger U.S. dollar (DXY) and liquidity constraints add short-term pressure. Market observers expect that the resolution of U.S. government shutdown risks and improved liquidity could spur a relief rally, but continued Bitcoin sell-off pressure is contingent on waning tax-related selling. Traders should monitor on-chain data, DXY trends, and ETF flows for signs of stability in the Bitcoin market.

Bitcoin Q4 Slump: Whale Sell-Offs, Tax Sales and Strong Dollar

|
Bitcoin has underperformed in Q4 2025 as long-term holders and recent buyers offload coins to lock in gains. Whale sell-offs began in July and accelerated in October, according to Glassnode and analyst PlanB. Investors are also harvesting tax gains and rotating funds into gold, which rose 60% year-to-date compared to Bitcoin’s 10%. A strong U.S. dollar has further drained liquidity. Analyst Willy Woo warns that a high DXY drives risk-off sentiment, decoupling Bitcoin from equities. Fidelity’s Chris Kuiper adds that year-end tax strategies and portfolio shifts explain continued supply pressure. On-chain data shows that seller exhaustion remains incomplete. Market watchers expect relief if the U.S. government shutdown resolves and liquidity returns. Bitcoin’s historical Q4 average gains exceed 40%, suggesting a potential rally if whale distribution eases. Traders should monitor on-chain flows and dollar trends for late-quarter bounce signals.

Singapore Pilots Tokenized Gov’t Bonds Settled via CBDC

|
Singapore’s Monetary Authority (MAS) has unveiled a pilot program for tokenized government bonds settled via a wholesale central bank digital currency (CBDC). The initiative will issue tokenized MAS Bills next year. At the Singapore FinTech Festival, MAS Managing Director Chia Der Jiun highlighted the move as a transition from blockchain experimentation to practical sovereign debt solutions. Tokenized government bonds promise near real-time settlement, lower costs by cutting intermediaries, and on-chain transparency with immutable records. Regulators must update legal frameworks, ensure cybersecurity, and integrate legacy systems for scalability. This marks one of the first government-level implementations of tokenized government bonds and underlines Singapore’s lead in financial innovation. Traders should watch MAS guidance, bond market liquidity shifts, and CBDC-related token demand.

EBA: EU’s MiCA Framework Addresses ECB’s Stablecoin Concerns

|
The European Banking Authority (EBA) has affirmed that the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) already incorporates safeguards to mitigate stablecoin risks, directly addressing concerns raised by the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Systemic Risk Board (ESRB). While the ECB and ESRB have called for a ban on multi-issuance stablecoins over potential liquidity shocks from mass redemptions, the EBA argues that MiCA’s existing stablecoin regulation—tailored to an issuer’s business model and scale—provides adequate protections. The EBA is awaiting guidance from the European Commission on whether MiCA permits multi-issuance, with two member-state regulators reportedly sharing the ECB’s unease about cross-border reserve transfers. Additionally, the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) plans to centralize oversight of crypto firms and trading venues, aiming for a more integrated capital market. This regulatory clarity could bolster market stability and investor confidence in the EU’s crypto sector.

Bitcoin Handover: Whales Exit, New Buyers Raise Cost Basis

|
Bitcoin turnover accelerates as early whales offload holdings and new investors absorb supply at higher prices. On-chain data shows long-term holders selling 405,000 BTC (1.9% of circulating supply) over 30 days, with large transfers to exchanges—and a notable whale like Owen Gunden moving over 2,000 BTC to Kraken. This shift disperses ownership from a few low-cost holders to a broader, higher-cost base, pushing the average cost basis toward $110,800. The rising MVRV ratio confirms this structural maturation and signals bullish potential. Ethereum turnover follows a similar path. Institutional products—ETFs and DAT funds—now control about 11% of ETH, and whale wallets (over 100,000 ETH) are accumulating at higher prices while retail sheds positions. This cost-basis reset precedes an expected price rally for ETH. Solana is in an earlier stage of turnover: SOL spot ETFs and DAT inflows account for 2.9% of supply, yet on-chain data remains concentrated among insiders. Institutions are gradually rebalancing into SOL, suggesting that its turnover-driven rally may materialize later in the cycle. Overall market focus is shifting from speculative Bitcoin wealth effects to real-use chains, yield-generating assets, fee-sharing DeFi protocols, stablecoins and RWA, underpinning a bullish medium- to long-term outlook.

Valve Unveils Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR for 2026 Launch

|
Valve has revealed three new hardware devices ahead of a 2026 release: the Steam Machine gaming console, the standalone Steam Frame VR headset, and an updated Steam Controller. The Steam Machine packs a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU and RDNA 3 GPU into a compact 160 mm cube, delivering six times the performance of the Steam Deck with native 4K ray tracing. Priced around $400–500, it competes directly with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X in the living room market. Steam Frame redefines independent VR by housing Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 inside a 185-gram front module; total headset weight is 440 g, offering high-resolution (2,160×2,160 per eye) pancake optics, eye-tracking with foveated rendering, and both standalone and PC-streaming modes. The new Steam Controller features magnetic TMR joysticks, dual trackpads, gyro support, four haptic motors, and a fingerprint sensor, allowing seamless switching across Valve platforms. Valve’s open SteamOS architecture and wide Steam user base may erode console exclusives and accelerate VR adoption. Key challenges include supply-chain management, pricing strategy, and content support. Investors will watch 2026 first-quarter shipments and attach rates to assess whether Valve’s hardware push can replicate the Steam Deck’s success.

US Strike Force to Combat China-Linked Crypto Scams

|
The US Department of Justice (DOJ), FBI and Secret Service have launched an interagency “Scam Center Strike Force” targeting China-linked crypto scams operating from Southeast Asia. Announced by US Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro, the task force combines resources from the DOJ Criminal Division, the US Attorney’s Office, FBI and Secret Service, coordinating with the State Department, OFAC and Commerce Department. These organizations aim to dismantle pig-butchering operations that defraud Americans of an estimated $9 billion annually through fake crypto tokens and fraudulent exchanges. Authorities have seized over $401 million in cryptocurrency and frozen assets tied to the Democratic Karen Benevolent Army. High-profile operations include closing a scam compound in Burma and embedding FBI agents with Thai police to shut down KK Park. The Strike Force plans further global collaboration to prosecute foreign defendants, seize illicit proceeds and return stolen funds to victims. Crypto scams enforcement is expected to boost investor confidence and market integrity.

Bitcoin Sensitivity to Nasdaq: Sharper Drops Than Gains

|
An analysis by crypto market maker Wintermute shows bitcoin sensitivity to Nasdaq movements at a 0.8 correlation. BTC falls faster during tech stock downturns than it rises in rallies. This downward bias, the strongest since late 2022, stems from risk-off sentiment, institutional overlap and liquidity shifts. Traders should monitor Nasdaq futures for early signals, diversify assets to offset correlation risks and use dollar-cost averaging. While this asymmetry increases short-term market volatility, bitcoin’s resilience near record highs underlines its fundamental strength. Understanding bitcoin sensitivity can help crypto traders manage risk and capture opportunities in today’s interconnected markets.

Serving since June 2017, Bostic is the sole Black president among Fed regional chiefs and a voting member on the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC). His departure leaves the Atlanta Fed presidency open, with the Board of Governors set to select a successor. Bostic’s tenure spanned aggressive rate hikes and pivotal monetary decisions amid inflation. His move is not expected to alter near-term Fed policy but triggers leadership changes at a key regional bank.

Cardano Shines Under New IRS Liquidity Rules for ETP Staking

|
On November 10, the U.S. Treasury and IRS issued updated guidance outlining liquidity and custody requirements for crypto-based exchange-traded products (ETPs). The rules mandate that staked assets must be transferable within one business day, a standard that Cardano’s liquid staking model inherently meets. Unlike other proof-of-stake networks requiring token lock-ups, Cardano allows users to delegate ADA without forfeiting liquidity, positioning it favorably for inclusion in regulated ETPs. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson celebrated the news on social media, highlighting the network’s native compliance. While a U.S. spot Cardano ETF supporting staking has yet to launch, Grayscale’s proposed ADA ETF is under SEC review, which could progress now that the government shutdown ended. Traders may view this as a catalyst for institutional adoption, potentially boosting ADA demand.

Generative AI Attack Vectors Drive Need for Blockchain Security

|
Generative AI is redefining the enterprise cybersecurity perimeter, shifting vulnerabilities from traditional networks and endpoints to language models, prompts and agent workflows. Researcher Eito Miyamura of Edison Watch demonstrated how malicious prompt injections in ordinary emails or calendar invites can hijack AI agents—accessing and exfiltrating sensitive data without malware. Industries now face “Phishing 3.0,” where a crafted sentence exploits unfiltered prompts. Existing SOCs and EDR tools cannot detect these language-based attacks. To address this security gap, Edison Watch is developing open-source AI firewalls and data valves that enforce deterministic checks and prevent data exfiltration. A layered “bodyguard agent” model is proposed to monitor and constrain rogue AI agents. Incorporating blockchain security, BSV’s Teranode architecture offers immutable audit trails, real-time policy enforcement and smart-contract guardrails. Teranode delivers enterprise-grade scalability—handling millions of transactions per second—and low-latency validation to log prompts, API calls and agent behaviors on-chain. As generative AI systems become integral to workflows, enterprises must adopt agent-aware governance, enable only necessary tools, and embed ledger-backed integrity at the protocol layer. Combining AI firewalls with blockchain security infrastructures outlines a blueprint for resilient digital ecosystems, rebuilding trust at the architectural level—starting with BSV Teranode.

EV2 Presale Shakes Up Immutable X and Gala in Web3 Gaming

|
Immutable X and Gala, leading Web3 gaming platforms, are experiencing cautious token movements as EV2’s sci-fi shooter RPG presale gains traction. Immutable X (IMX), Ethereum’s Layer 2 solution for NFTs, holds around $0.41, with technical charts hinting at a potential rebound near the Fibonacci retracement zone. Gala (GALA) hovers above $0.010, eyeing an upside target of $0.0126 if momentum holds. Meanwhile, the EV2 presale has raised over $203,000 by selling 20 million EV2 tokens. EV2’s gameplay modes—Havoc and Survivor—feature the Valkyrie and Cloaker suits, blending team battles and survival mechanics into a robust play-to-earn economy. This fresh entrant challenges established Web3 gaming giants by delivering immediate value through engaging mechanics rather than future tech promises. Traders should monitor EV2’s token performance and community growth closely, as its rapid presale success could shift market attention and liquidity. While Immutable X’s gas-free transactions and Gala’s TCC integration in China remain key drivers, EV2’s momentum adds new dynamics to Web3 gaming investments.

Wintermute research indicates that Bitcoin’s correlation with US equities, especially the Nasdaq index, remains high at approximately 0.8. However, BTC correlation with US stocks is asymmetrical: it shows stronger responses to Nasdaq downturns and muted reactions to rallies. This market sensitivity aligns with the negative bias last seen at the end of 2022. The heightened downward sensitivity highlights increased risk for Bitcoin during equity sell-offs. Traders should closely monitor US stock movements, particularly the Nasdaq, as signals for potential Bitcoin drawdowns. With a persistent BTC correlation with US stocks and amplified reactions to downside events, cautious trading and robust risk management are advised amid mounting equity market volatility.

AirTrunk, acquired by Blackstone for AU$24 billion, is accelerating its data center expansion in India to capitalize on surging AI demand and digital growth. CEO Robin Khuda cited India’s 1.5 billion population and tech-savvy youth as drivers, with construction already underway for hyperscale facilities. The data center expansion taps Asia’s booming infrastructure market, supported by a recent AU$16 billion refinancing that funds builds across Australia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore. Blackstone’s India investments exceed $50 billion, with 40% poured into Maharashtra for real estate and digital projects. This expansion follows AirTrunk’s $3 billion Saudi partnership with Humain and plans for a 1 GW Western Sydney campus. While global AI growth is bolstered, potential electricity shortages pose challenges.

Falling Wedge and RSI Signal Potential Cardano ADA Breakout

|
Technical indicators on Cardano’s daily chart suggest a possible ADA breakout after a pattern last seen before its July rally. The token’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) recently reset below 40, mirroring the setup that fueled a 97% ADA surge over 54 days. At the same time, ADA has formed a falling wedge pattern, typically a bullish reversal signal. ADA is trading around $0.5665, up 4.2% weekly but down 21% monthly. A decisive move above the wedge’s upper boundary near $0.67–$0.70 could open targets between $0.75 and $0.85 (32%–50% upside). Conversely, a breach below support at $0.47–$0.50 risks a drop to $0.33. If ADA replicates the 97% rally triggered by its RSI reset, price could climb toward $1.1. Other analysts echo the bullish thesis: Ali Martinez highlights $0.50 as critical support for a rebound to $0.70, while Crypto analyst Mintern projects a longer-term rise from $0.77 to $4–$5. These converging views reinforce the case for a Cardano ADA breakout.

Peter Schiff Warns Circle Stock (CRCL) Could Drop Further

|
Peter Schiff, a well-known gold advocate and crypto skeptic, has cautioned traders that Circle stock (CRCL) could face further declines amid sector-wide volatility and regulatory pressures. After soaring 1,000% post-IPO to $300 in June 2025, CRCL shares have fallen 32% this month to $86.3, reflecting profit-taking and macroeconomic headwinds. USDC, Circle’s dollar-backed stablecoin and the second-largest stablecoin by market cap, continues to see trading volumes dip over 35% year-over-year. Schiff argues that stablecoin issuers like Circle remain vulnerable due to regulatory uncertainties—highlighted by the SEC’s intensified oversight—and competition from rivals like USDT. Technical indicators show CRCL trading below key moving averages with an RSI near oversold levels, signaling downside risk if support at $80 fails. While Circle’s Q3 revenue hit $250 million, net income margins have compressed under rising compliance costs. Schiff’s bearish outlook underscores the high-risk nature of crypto-related stocks and suggests traders consider trimming positions to mitigate potential losses.

Bitcoin Dips to Q1 2025 Lows; Fed Outlook May Spark Rally

|
Bitcoin fell back to around $105k after rejecting gains near $107.5k on Nov 11, driven by a broader crypto market sell-off and tech-sector declines amid heightened macroeconomic uncertainty. The crypto market’s sentiment gauge remains in “extreme fear” levels similar to Q1 2025, when prices bottomed. Leading altcoins like BNB and SOL also slid to under $1,000 and $160 respectively. QCP Capital highlights that the looming end of the U.S. government shutdown removes near-term risk, but Fed caution ahead of its Dec. 9–10 FOMC meeting remains a key factor. Markets currently assign a 63% probability to a 25bps rate cut, with private data pointing to softer labor conditions. QCP projects that a Fed easing and resilient corporate earnings could support a year-end rally in BTC, while ETH would need to break above $3,700 (and ultimately $3,900) to confirm recovery momentum.

Ethereum’s Trustless Declaration Defends Decentralization

|
Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin and the Ethereum Foundation have published a chain-based “Trustless Declaration” to reaffirm decentralization amid growing Wall Street investment. Developers can call a pledge() function—without any reward—as a public endorsement of six core principles: user sovereignty, verifiability, no secret keys, absence of indispensable intermediaries, censorship resistance, accessibility, and transparent incentives. The declaration warns that sacrificing decentralization for efficiency reduces a blockchain to an empty shell. Layer 2 sequencers are highlighted as urgent examples: an AWS outage caused Coinbase Base throughput to drop 25%, exposing single-point failures. The declaration urges adoption of decentralized sequencers and on-chain data availability—citing Arbitrum’s censorship-timeout feature and ongoing tests of tools like FOCIL. It also cautions against “protocol capture” by cloud providers or ETF issuers, stressing that every line of code should be evaluated on whether it preserves user self-sovereignty. This move aims to guide Ethereum’s community through regulatory uncertainties while balancing efficiency and trustlessness.

ETF Outflows Test Bitcoin Rally as Analysts Eye $112K Rebound

Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $278 million in net outflows on Nov. 12, led by Fidelity’s FBTC ($133 million) and Ark Invest’s ARKB ($85.2 million), while BTC held support above $100,000, trading near $103,735. Despite the sell-off, cumulative ETF inflows remain strong at $60.2 billion, and total ETF assets stand at $135.8 billion, roughly 6.7% of Bitcoin’s market cap. CryptoQuant data show Binance’s 2025 BTC spot trading volume has surpassed $1.53 trillion, with Q3 hitting $387.5 billion and October $198.6 billion, suggesting investors may be shifting from institutional vehicles to direct spot holdings. QCP reports that Bitcoin is tracking broader market sentiment, stabilizing around $103 k in Asia after US lawmakers passed a stopgap funding bill extending operations to Jan. 30, 2026. Technical analyst Ali Martinez warns a head-and-shoulders pattern could form, with a right shoulder at $112,000 and a $100,000 neckline; a confirmed breakdown might target $83,000. However, breaking above $112,000 with strong volume would invalidate the bearish setup and could spark a new rally. Traders should watch ETF flows, spot volume shifts, and key technical levels for signals on Bitcoin’s next move.
