Phil and Dom Kwok of EasyA highlight how XRP tokenization can emulate the liquidity strategies of the ultra-rich. They propose asset tokenization to convert real-world assets into digital tokens. This could channel trillions of dollars of traditional capital into the crypto market. EasyA plans to launch a platform allowing users to borrow against their XRP holdings rather than sell, maintaining exposure and deferring taxes. Users would lock XRP as collateral to obtain stablecoins or fiat loans. The system will feature adjustable safety margins to manage liquidation risk. The initiative aligns with broader XRP use cases in DeFi and real-world asset tokenization. Ripple predicts an $18.9 trillion tokenization market by 2033. Some analysts forecast XRP prices up to $10.40 by 2026 and $54.20 by 2029 if the asset captures significant market share. This model could democratise wealth strategies previously reserved for billionaires.

In November 2025, President Trump hosted a White House dinner with top banking executives—JPMorgan’s Jamie Dimon, BlackRock’s Larry Fink and Goldman Sachs’ David Solomon—to align on economic policy and crypto regulation. Attendees discussed inflation, interest-rate pressures and the need for clearer frameworks around stablecoins and Bitcoin ETFs. Federal Reserve data show a 25% rise in crypto-related banking activities, while BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF attracted $15 billion in inflows this year. JPMorgan outlined a $1.5 trillion, 10-year plan that includes crypto ventures and blockchain investments. Absent guests included Citigroup’s Jane Fraser and Bank of America’s Brian Moynihan. The meeting signals increased collaboration between the administration and financial leaders to stabilize markets, promote institutional crypto adoption and potentially support Bitcoin prices amid volatility.

On November 13, 2025, SEC Chair Paul Atkins unveiled Project Crypto, a regulatory reform aimed at modernizing digital asset regulation. The initiative introduces a dynamic token taxonomy that applies the Howey test at different lifecycle stages. Under this framework, tokens may begin as securities during fundraising but can reclassify as commodities or utilities once they achieve sufficient decentralization and network functionality. Industry estimates indicate up to 60% of mature tokens could transition out of SEC jurisdiction. Project Crypto also enhances SEC-CFTC coordination, assigning commodities like Bitcoin (BTC) to the CFTC and investment contracts to the SEC. The proposal includes tailored exemptions and a sandbox for startups, with public comments and detailed guidance on reclassification criteria expected within six months. Additionally, it hints at future rules for algorithmic stablecoins and DeFi protocols, introducing reserve requirements and potential exemptions for truly decentralized platforms. By reducing regulatory uncertainty and maintaining targeted enforcement against fraud, Project Crypto seeks to foster innovation while protecting investors.

Dogecoin has consolidated near the $0.17 support level following a brief downturn in the crypto market, as whales ramp up accumulation ahead of a potential rally. After dipping to $0.171, the token rebounded to $0.176, mirroring cyclical patterns where consolidation leads to impulsive gains. Analysts note that a familiar sequence of local tops, sideways movement and recovery has historically preceded sharp rallies. On the daily chart, key support holds at $0.16 with resistance at $0.19. Technical indicators reinforce the early recovery: the RSI has risen from oversold levels to 43.78, and the MACD line has crossed above its signal line, though momentum remains moderate. If this setup follows past trends, Dogecoin could see a breakout towards $0.30. Traders should watch for sustained volume increases and clear separation on the MACD histogram as confirmation. A decisive move above $0.19 would signal the end of consolidation and the start of a bullish impulse.

A Columbia University working paper analyzed two years of on-chain data from Polymarket, uncovering that around 25% of its trading volume may be attributable to wash trading, spiking to 60% during major events. Despite questions over data “inflation,” prediction markets have surged thanks to regulatory clarity: the CFTC dropped charges against Kalshi and issued a no-action letter to Polymarket this year. Backing by Donald Trump Jr.’s 1789 Capital, ICE’s $2 billion investment valuing Polymarket at $8 billion, and Kalshi’s $5 billion valuation reflect growing capital inflows. Polymarket now seeks a $12–15 billion valuation in a new funding round. Integration into Google Finance has further boosted exposure, driving October trading volumes above $3 billion and user growth of 93.7%. Critics note that wash trading levels are mid-range compared to early crypto exchanges and emphasize predictive accuracy, calibration, liquidity, and slippage as more meaningful metrics. With mainstream institutional support and policy shifts, prediction markets are poised for expansion, though legal debates over their classification as derivatives or gambling persist.

Bitcoin vs Gold research by NDV reveals a conditional complementarity that can boost portfolio Sharpe ratios. Analyzing four years of data, the study shows long-term correlation between BTC and gold driven by macro liquidity and policy, yet short-term divergence allows risk budgeting benefits. Bitcoin delivers higher returns due to its built-in scarcity, halving mechanism, and explosive institutional flows, while gold provides superior defense in liquidity crunches, geopolitical shocks, and systemic crises. In today’s low real-rate environment, gold outperforms USD cash as an effective hedge. Portfolio guidance recommends BTC as the core position in normal markets, with tactical gold additions in extreme risk scenarios and gold allocations over cash for medium-term defense. This dynamic allocation of Bitcoin vs Gold offers traders a balanced, risk-adjusted path to stable, long-term growth.

Fed Governor Stephen Milan publicly warned that surging stablecoin issuance by Tether is eroding the Fed’s monetary control. He noted that Tether holds $135 billion in US Treasuries—more than many developed nations—and has expanded its USDT supply to $174 billion by Q3 2025. Milan argued that this rapid stablecoin issuance is pushing down the global neutral interest rate, a key benchmark for policy decisions. Tether has grown largely unregulated. While Facebook’s Libra was blocked in 2019, Tether’s USDT has quietly become a primary payment tool in emerging markets. USDT adoption in countries such as Bolivia, Argentina and Turkey has surged, driven by ease of access and protection against inflation. Tether also holds over $12 billion in gold and 90,000 BTC, giving it significant market influence. Milan warned that Tether could one day re-anchor USDT to a basket of assets—Treasuries, gold and bitcoin—creating a “hard” digital dollar. This shift threatens to diminish the Fed’s ability to steer monetary policy and could prompt tighter regulation of stablecoins.

Users who joined the Pieverse Pre-TGE can trade PIEVERSE on Binance Alpha immediately after launch. Winners of Pieverse Booster events 1 to 4 can claim a portion of their PIEVERSE tokens within eight hours of token distribution. This listing on Binance Alpha offers new trading opportunities for cryptocurrency traders, boosting token liquidity and market activity.

An ETH whale has fully closed a 25x leveraged ETH long on HyperLiquid after depositing 8 million USDC, realizing a $336,169 profit. This ETH whale’s exit follows a pattern of leveraged trading among large holders seeking amplified returns. The move represents profit taking and could exert short-term selling pressure on ETH. Traders should monitor whale positions and liquidity shifts, as settlement of sizable leveraged longs can drive volatility. The recent closure underscores the impact of whale activity on ETH markets and may shape near-term trading strategies.

Huobi HTX has launched the BEAT/USDT perpetual contract with up to 20x leverage and kicked off a contract trading party featuring a $10,000 prize pool. From November 13 to November 20 (UTC+8), users who register and reach a cumulative BEAT/USDT trading volume of at least 10,000 USDT will share the reward pool based on their ranking. New contract users also receive exclusive incentives. This BEAT perpetual launch is designed to boost trading volume, enhance liquidity, and increase BEAT token visibility on Huobi HTX.

Asia markets closed mixed on Thursday after U.S. lawmakers ended the prolonged government shutdown. Equities in Japan and China rose modestly, while Hong Kong, Australia and South Korea saw declines. The Nikkei 225 added 0.2% and Topix gained 0.6%. Mainland indices like the Shanghai Composite and CSI 300 advanced 0.7% and 1.1%, respectively. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng eased 0.1%, Australia’s ASX 200 fell 0.4%, and South Korea’s Kospi dropped 0.4%. Currencies also showed varied moves. The dollar strengthened to 149.10 yen. The Australian dollar climbed to 0.6641 USD on softer rate-cut expectations. The Korean won weakened amid risk aversion. Investors remained cautious ahead of critical data. China’s October home prices unexpectedly fell 0.5% year-on-year. Industrial production decelerated to 4.7%. Market participants await upcoming Chinese trade and inflation figures, U.S. CPI, Fed minutes, and central bank meetings. Treasury yields hovered near recent highs, with the 2-year at around 4.58% and the 10-year at 4.65%. Overall, Asia markets appear range-bound as the U.S. shutdown’s end fails to deliver a clear boost, leaving traders focused on data-driven drivers.

The Ethereum core developer team has outlined preferences for the upcoming Glamsterdam fork, naming EIP-7732 (enshrined proposer-builder separation, ePBS) as the headliner. In preparation for the Glamsterdam fork, the team also recommends inclusion of EIP-7805 (Fork-Choice Inclusion Lists, FOCIL) to enhance censorship resistance, while deferring or rejecting other consensus layer EIPs like EIP-7688, 8045, 8062, and 8068 due to complexity or limited benefit. EIP-8061 (increase churn limits) is conditionally supported in favor of EIP-8071. The report warns that focus on ePBS and FOCIL may push teams to capacity, advising careful evaluation of additional EIPs for inclusion in later forks. Key drivers include MEV reduction, decentralization, and network resilience. Stakeholders are urged to balance scope against delivery timelines to ensure a timely and secure deployment.

Analyst Pumpius outlines three XRP price prediction scenarios based on adoption levels. In the first, Ripple secures a U.S. trust bank license from the OCC to handle custody, stablecoins and tokenized real-world assets. That could channel $500 billion in annual settlement flows and lift XRP to $50. Scenario two envisions major corporations like Apple, Amazon and Tesla moving their treasuries and supplier payments onto the XRP Ledger, driving $5 trillion in yearly liquidity and pushing XRP to $100. The third scenario assumes tokenization of global capital markets—stocks, bonds and ETFs valued at over $100 trillion—on the XRP Ledger, potentially sending XRP above $100 000. These bullish XRP price prediction targets depend on major adoption milestones. While the utility case is strong, all projections remain highly speculative with no guarantee of materializing.

Bitcoin price dipped on Tuesday despite strong ETF inflows, with heavy trading volume driving volatility. A morning sell-off of 27,579 BTC saw the price fall from $103,177 to $102,203 after earlier gains toward $105,342. Inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs totaled $524 million, led by $224.2 million into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust and $165.8 million into Fidelity’s FBTC. On-chain data showed a countertrend, with 7,500 BTC transferred to Binance—the highest outflow since March. The market structure remained fragile. Support held at the $102,000 level after three tests, while resistance emerged around $102,400. Trading volumes contracted from an average of 400 BTC to 165 BTC in recent hours. Analysts warn that a drop below $102,000 could expose the $100,600–$101,200 zone, while a break above $105,050 might target $107,400. Short-term investors have been under selling pressure, especially around breakeven levels near $112,000. In contrast, the mining sector showed resilience. Hash rate momentum stayed positive, and no miner capitulation signals appeared. Overall, the Bitcoin price remained in a broad trading range. Heavy ETF demand clashed with exchange-bound supply. Traders should watch key support and resistance levels for potential breakouts.

In October, global crypto exchange volumes surged 36% from the previous month, marking a clear market recovery in digital asset trading. The spike was driven by renewed investor interest in Bitcoin and Ethereum, with major platforms such as Binance and Coinbase reporting notable increases in trading activity. Analysts point to improving macroeconomic indicators, easing inflation pressures, and growing institutional participation as key factors behind the volume rebound. This market recovery offers traders enhanced liquidity for precise entry and exit positions but also underscores potential volatility as markets adjust. Monitoring exchange volumes and market sentiment will be critical for navigating the evolving crypto landscape in the coming months.

Asia markets traded mixed on Thursday. Stocks in Japan and mainland China rose, while Hong Kong and Australia declined. India also gained. The mixed session followed Wall Street’s near-record highs and the end of the US government shutdown, which failed to spark a significant rally. Currency markets reacted to shifting inflation and interest rate cut expectations, weakening the yen and won, while the Australian dollar strengthened. Equities in each country moved in line with local economic signals. Investors remain cautious ahead of key Chinese data releases, fresh inflation figures, and central bank policy cues. Profit-taking after recent rallies also weighed on market sentiment. Overall, Asia markets showed limited upside, reflecting uncertainty over global growth and policy outlook.

Solana user engagement has fallen to a one-year low as memecoin hype subsides. According to Glassnode, active Solana addresses dropped to 3.3 million in late 2025, down from over 9 million in January. Although overall participation has declined, niche platforms like Pump.fun still handle more than $1 million in daily volume. Solana’s DeFi total value locked remains strong at $10 billion, supported by protocols such as Jupiter, Jito and Kamino. Developers are shifting focus to long-term growth by expanding decentralized exchanges, prediction markets and real-world asset protocols. Solana (SOL) is trading at $155.92 with a market cap of $86.42 billion, down about 2% over the past week. The dip in active addresses highlights the network’s vulnerability to short-term trends but underscores ongoing efforts to build sustainable infrastructure.

Bitmine, a major institutional participant in the Ethereum market, has continued to accumulate ETH even while sitting on $1.8 billion in unrealized losses. According to CryptoQuant data, the firm added more than 70,000 ETH since early November, signaling strong long-term conviction in Ethereum’s fundamentals. Ethereum recently reclaimed the $3,450 support level but faces resistance at $3,600–$3,700. Technical indicators, including the 50-week moving average around $3,400 and upward-sloping 100- and 200-week moving averages, suggest the asset remains in a long-term uptrend. Traders will monitor whether Ethereum can hold above $3,400 and break above $3,700 to confirm a broader trend reversal. The upcoming U.S. government reopening and renewed macroeconomic data flow may influence market liquidity and sentiment. Sustained whale accumulation, combined with favorable macro conditions, could set Ethereum up for its next major move toward $4,200–$4,500, while a failure to defend $3,300 might trigger deeper corrections.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index has plunged to 15, marking extreme fear levels not seen since March. This sentiment slump coincides with declining bullish mentions of Bitcoin and Ethereum on social media, indicating that short-term traders may be capitulating. Analysts at Santiment draw parallels to March 2022 when Bitcoin traded near $18,000 before a sharp rebound. Experts including Joe Consorti of Horizon and Samson Mow of Jan3 note that long-term holders—often referred to as diamond hands—are quietly accumulating during this dip. Historically, such capitulation phases precede crypto rallies as stronger hands enter the market. Traders should watch sentiment indicators and accumulation metrics closely, as this low level on the Crypto Fear & Greed Index could signal a potential rebound in Bitcoin and Ethereum prices in the coming months.

POPCAT, a Solana-based memecoin, jumped 14% in 24 hours, driven by large futures orders and a bullish taker CVD. The token has traded in a $0.134–$0.175 range since October, forming an accumulation pattern. A clear breakout above the $0.175 resistance could target $0.23. On-chain data shows futures traders placed whale orders, while spot volume cooled, signaling cautious buying. Bybit and Robinhood hold over 10% of supply, and the top 10 addresses control 38.1%. Liquidity clusters above $0.17 suggest a potential squeeze to $0.18. Traders should watch the $0.175 level for confirmation. Mixed momentum indicators underline the need for a strong breakout to sustain a bullish trend. POPCAT’s next move hinges on market confirmation and continued capital inflows.

By integrating BEATUSDT futures with bot support, Bitget aims to enhance liquidity and trading flexibility for both retail and institutional users.

Bitcoin price has climbed past $103,000 on Binance USDT, marking a 350% gain from the 2022 low and the highest level in three years. The rally was driven by accelerating institutional adoption and clearer regulations in key markets. It also reflects broader mainstream acceptance of digital assets. The Bitcoin price rally’s technical indicators show resistance near all-time highs, while upcoming ETF approvals and macroeconomic factors could steer future trends. Traders should weigh the market’s volatility and conduct due diligence. This milestone reflects growing liquidity and maturing infrastructure in the cryptocurrency sector.

India plans to introduce an AI curriculum across all schools from Grade 3 in the 2026–27 academic year, aligning with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023. Learning materials and digital content will be ready by December 2025, and teachers will receive structured training through NISHTHA. An expert committee led by Karthik Raman (IIT Madras) is designing the AI curriculum and Computational Thinking syllabus. The government’s IndiaAI Mission has allocated $1.24 billion to boost AI literacy, aiming to support a $5 trillion economy and future workforce skills. This move follows global trends in AI-enabled education, emphasizes personalized learning, and seeks to address automation risks highlighted by NITI Aayog.

Global banks are shifting from traditional de-banking narratives to on-chain operations by issuing tokenized deposits—blockchain representations of bank liabilities that combine stablecoin liquidity with legal backing. Singapore’s DBS and J.P. Morgan are building a cross-chain framework to enable real-time settlement of tokenized deposits on Ethereum L2 Base and permissioned ledgers. Hong Kong plans a multi-layer digital currency model integrating CBDC, tokenized deposits, and regulated stablecoins. In the UK, six major banks launched a tokenized pound pilot covering cross-border payments, mortgages, and digital asset settlement through mid-2026. Japan’s SBI Shinsei Bank is testing cross-border tokenized settlements to cut costs and delays within existing regulations. Analysts foresee a three-tier monetary architecture—central bank digital currency, bank-issued tokenized deposits, and market-issued stablecoins—with tokenized cash and stablecoins projected to reach $3.6 trillion by 2030. This marks a shift from blockchain experiments to core financial infrastructure, signalling stronger institutional demand for on-chain liquidity and faster payments.

Gate’s October 2025 Private Wealth Management Report shows its top 30% quant strategies achieved a 35.4% annualized return, significantly outperforming Bitcoin amid the first October loss since 2018. The Hedge Smart USDT fund posted a 5% positive return while BTC fell over 5.5%, and overall quant strategies maintained minimal drawdowns, with the USDT strategy’s maximum drawdown at just 0.01%. Looking ahead to November, Gate research anticipates macro liquidity and policy expectations will dominate market sentiment, leading to a high-volatility, low-trend consolidation phase. Key sectors likely to attract funds include AI, DePIN, payments, and digital identity.

Anichess, a Web3 chess platform by Animoca Brands and Chess.com, has integrated the new CHECK token as its native currency. The utility token has a fixed supply of 1 billion, with 59.38% allocated for community and ecosystem development. The rollout will occur in phases. Players can use the CHECK token to enter skill-based tournaments, stake for Mate Points (M8) to boost gameplay, earn performance rewards, unlock exclusive collectibles, and participate in governance. The CHECK token rewards skill, creativity, and community contributions instead of simple click activity, driving sustainable, skill-oriented engagement.

Pi Network (PI) shows mounting bullish momentum as a major investor’s holdings climb to approximately 374.5 million tokens. Technical charts reveal an almost complete inverse head-and-shoulders formation, with price testing the right shoulder and aiming to break above the key 50-day EMA. A recent breakout from a falling wedge pattern further signals a potential upswing. Whale activity has intensified: over 1.23 million PI were acquired in a single day, underscoring confidence in Pi Network’s outlook. Concurrently, the development team has integrated AI to accelerate KYC verification for millions of users and applied for ISO certification, steps that could pave the way for major exchange listings. The platform’s $100 million venture fund has also backed AI and robotics company OpenMind, highlighting long-term growth strategies. These factors—whale accumulation, bullish chart patterns, and network enhancements—suggest a favorable environment for a PI price surge.

Cross-border liquidity provider XRP remains unused at scale by banks despite its technical capabilities. Crypto analyst Mr. Man and former Ripple director Navin Gupta attribute the hesitancy to current regulatory prudence: the Bank for International Settlements assigns a 1,250% risk weight to unbacked crypto assets, forcing banks to hold substantial capital. Until the BIS lowers this risk weighting, banks must continue using the US dollar as a bridge currency. Mr. Man highlights that once prudential standards adjust, XRP could replace dollar intermediaries in forex routes, speeding settlement and cutting costs. Gupta adds that Ripple’s software connects independent XRP markets—for example, converting GBP to XRP in the UK, then XRP to PHP—enabling instant, legally compliant transfers. He clarifies that Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD complements rather than competes with XRP, with XRP serving as the bridge asset. The analysis shows that XRP’s limited adoption results from enduring regulatory frameworks rather than inefficiency, suggesting substantial upside if risk weights fall.

White House National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett forecasted a 25 bps interest rate cut by the Fed, saying a 50 bps move is unlikely. He argued that falling prices of imported goods reflect a cost adjustment, not true inflation. Hassett endorsed a strong dollar policy as a “smart choice” and indicated that 50-year mortgages could improve housing affordability. On trade, he warned of alternative measures if the Supreme Court rejects current customs duties. Fed member Stephen Miran also weighed in, labeling the Fed’s policy “too tight” and suggesting looser monetary policy ahead. Miran highlighted stablecoin growth as potentially equivalent to 30–60% of early-2000s savings rates. These comments on monetary policy, import prices, and mortgage terms will guide market expectations for future interest rate cuts and currency strength.
