Injective has deployed its native EVM mainnet on its Cosmos-based Layer 1 blockchain, achieving full Ethereum compatibility and advancing its MultiVM interoperability roadmap. The EVM mainnet integrates EVM and WebAssembly runtimes, offering 0.64s block times and ultra-low transaction fees. Developers can deploy smart contracts with standard Ethereum tools such as Hardhat and Foundry without code modifications, while sharing liquidity, assets and state across the Injective ecosystem. The launch features over 40 dApps and partners and builds on inEVM Layer 2 tests since 2023. Governance by the Injective Council, including Google Cloud and Binance’s YIZI Labs, and backing from Jump Crypto, Pantera Capital and Mark Cuban underscore the network’s security and growth potential. Future support for Solana VM is also planned, further enhancing cross-chain interoperability.

Analysts at Black Swan Capitalist, led by Versan Aljarrah, highlight XRP’s high 0.8+ correlation with Bitcoin has tethered its price cycles to BTC’s speculative swings. Despite growing utility via RippleNet partnerships with over 300 banks and payment providers, and recent licensing approvals for a spot XRP ETF, XRP remains volatile. Aljarrah predicts decoupling from BTC within months or even days, driven by direct institutional capital inflows into XRP. Traders should monitor ETF approvals, bank integrations, adoption metrics, and correlation trends. Successful XRP decoupling would reduce volatility, foster independent price growth, and attract further institutional investment, marking a pivotal moment for XRP’s market maturity.

UK authorities have sentenced Zhimin Qian to 11 years and 8 months in prison for orchestrating a £5 billion Bitcoin laundering operation linked to a £6.3 billion Ponzi scheme. Between 2014 and 2017, Qian defrauded over 128,000 Chinese investors, converting stolen funds into 61,000 BTC. The Metropolitan Police and Chinese law enforcement used digital forensics and cross-border cooperation to trace the illicit transactions. This asset seizure marks the largest cryptocurrency confiscation in UK history. Investigators relied on rigorous AML checks and victim testimony to dismantle the network. Traders should note that this Bitcoin laundering case highlights increasing regulatory scrutiny and the traceability of blockchain transactions. Enhanced compliance requirements and enforcement announcements may trigger market volatility but improve long-term trust in digital assets.

Polymarket has re-entered the US market by partnering with fantasy sports leader PrizePicks to launch regulated prediction markets on its platform. The integration uses Polygon-based event contracts to let users wager on sports, entertainment and cultural events. Following a 2022 CFTC settlement and QCEX acquisition, Polymarket ensured compliance and regained access to millions of US fantasy sports users. It will also serve as the designated clearinghouse for DraftKings’ upcoming prediction markets. In 2025 the platform processed billions in trading volume and secured a $2 billion strategic investment from Intercontinental Exchange. Traders should watch regulatory developments, user growth metrics and wash trading probes, as these factors will shape liquidity and price stability in US prediction markets.

Crypto liquidations surged to $379.9 million in 24 hours after Bitcoin retraced from a $107K high to $104.7K, triggering forced liquidations of leveraged positions. A price bounce from $101.6K to $106.6K stalled within a tight $104.7K–$107.1K range, catching traders who bet on a breakout. Bitcoin liquidations totaled $81.4 million, evenly split between longs and shorts, while Ethereum saw $71.9 million in mainly long liquidations. ZCash liquidations reached $31.2 million, largely bullish. CoinGlass data highlights liquidity zones at $103.8K–$104.4K and $100.7K–$102.4K. These crypto liquidations underscore the market’s volatility. Traders should monitor support and resistance, manage leverage cautiously, and avoid premature breakout bets amid ongoing volatility.

Three years after the 2022 FTX collapse, a sustained bitcoin rally has highlighted ongoing creditor repayment challenges. Although the FTX estate recovered $16.5 billion and distributed $7.1 billion in three payout rounds (January, May and September), creditors face real recovery rates of just 9–46% when adjusted for bitcoin’s surge to $103,000. Next distributions are set for January 2026. The FTX collapse spurred centralized exchanges like Binance and OKX to implement proof-of-reserves audits and on-chain analytics, while DeFi platforms, including dYdX, strengthened governance and self-custody safeguards. Regulatory moves such as the US GENIUS Act and the EU’s MiCA framework aim to improve market oversight and prevent future failures. Ongoing legal proceedings—Sam Bankman-Fried’s appeal and Caroline Ellison’s mid-2026 release—underscored lasting industry repercussions. Traders should monitor future distributions, regulatory shifts and transparency audits, as these factors, alongside the bitcoin rally, will shape market sentiment.

On November 11, Hong Kong crypto laws were reformed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Licensed local exchanges can now match trades using offshore order books. Under the previous regime, matching was confined to Hong Kong, limiting trading volume and efficiency. This change allows global liquidity pools to deepen and attracts foreign capital. The new rules require prefunding on overseas platforms and delivery-versus-payment settlement. This regulatory update to Hong Kong crypto laws also mandates that exchanges establish a compensation fund for failed transactions. Offshore affiliates must be based in FATF jurisdictions, comply with IOSCO standards and submit to SFC surveillance to prevent market manipulation. In parallel, Hong Kong launched spot Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) ETFs. These measures enhance investor protection and position the city as Asia’s leading digital asset hub. Traders can expect tighter spreads, improved execution and increased institutional participation.

Bitcoin rose to $103,517 on November 10 as traders tracked the return of McDonald’s McRib sandwich on November 11. The so-called “Bitcoin McRib” pattern has seen BTC rallies coinciding with past McRib launches in 2017, 2020, 2021 and December 2024. McDonald’s Senior Marketing Director Guillaume Huin highlighted this internet meme when confirming the latest launch, while investor Robert Kiyosaki revealed new purchases of gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum. Since its 1981 debut, the limited-time McRib sees sporadic comebacks that spark market chatter and occasional price spikes. Although anecdotal, this meme-driven trend reflects trader sentiment. Experts caution that regulatory updates, economic trends and market fundamentals ultimately drive sustainable Bitcoin trading decisions.

Tether Gold has recruited two HSBC metals trading veterans, Vincent Domien and Mathew O’Neill, to expand its bullion operations. The move supports Tether Gold’s push to build over $12 billion in private physical gold reserves, adding more than one tonne each week. By internalizing execution, sourcing, custody and hedging, Tether Gold aims to improve trade timing, settlement efficiency and reporting transparency. The firm’s XAUT token is backed by about 1,300 allocated bars and $2 billion in circulation, separate from USDT reserves. With gold prices at record highs and central banks boosting purchases, Tether’s bullion holdings generated $13 billion in profits last year. Traders will monitor upcoming reserve attestations and balance sheet updates to gauge the impact on liquidity management, transparency and potential shifts in asset mix.

BullZilla (BZIL) leads the 2025 crypto presales with Stage 10 pricing at $0.00024573, combining deflationary Roar Burn events and 70% APY in its HODL Furnace staking program. Early investors project over 2,000% ROI at an expected listing price of $0.00527 on Ethereum. Other high-potential memecoin presales include APE, MOBU, CULEX, APEING, CHEEMS, PNUT and BABYDOGE, while ADA, SUI, TON and SOL remain key established tokens in the presale wave. Traders should track stage-based price increments, verify smart contracts and monitor deflationary tokenomics to time entries and manage risk in the crypto presales market.

Coinbase has announced it will delist altcoins Clover Finance (CLV), EOS (EOS), League of Kingdoms Arena (LOKA), Muse Dao (MUSE) and Wrapped Centrifuge (WCFG) on November 26. The delisting, part of its regular token review, triggered sharp price declines—MUSE down 24%, LOKA 13% and WCFG 9%—as traders flagged liquidity risks and reputational damage. Coinbase delists altcoins to comply with platform standards and streamline listings. Meanwhile, the exchange is considering new assets, adding BankrCoin (BNKR), Jito Staked SOL (JITOSOL) and Metaplex (MPLX) to its roadmap. Crypto traders should monitor token liquidity shifts and potential trading opportunities ahead of the delisting date.

Domino’s Cyprus has launched xMoney Fiat Checkout on its web and mobile platforms, enabling instant, embedded fiat payments without redirects. The solution supports credit cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, reducing friction and enhancing security. The pilot marks the first phase of a broader EU expansion under MiCA compliance, demonstrating Web3 readiness. xMoney Fiat Checkout also lays the groundwork for USDC Integration on the Sui blockchain, offering near-instant crypto settlements. Built-in XMN token and a secure backend ensure compliance and data protection. This move bridges traditional payments and crypto, improving customer experience and accelerating mainstream crypto adoption across Domino’s European outlets.

SoFi Crypto has relaunched its crypto trading feature within its FDIC-insured app, allowing users to buy, sell and hold over 30 digital assets, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL). The integration unifies crypto trading with checking, savings and investing services, removing external transfers and separate logins. Access rolls out via a waitlist through November 30, with early adopters entering a promotion to win 1 BTC by completing three trades of at least $10 by January 31, 2026. At launch, funding is via ACH or USD deposit only, with outbound withdrawals coming later. The platform complies with OCC guidance and federal registration, enhancing regulated custody and security. SoFi data shows crypto ownership among members doubled in 2025, underlining rising demand for seamless banking integration of crypto trading.

Cardano and Wirex have launched the first multichain ADA card powered by Visa. The new Cardano ADA card lets users spend ADA and over 685 cryptocurrencies worldwide via the Wirex app. The card supports BTC, ETH and USDC, and is accepted in 130+ countries. It offers up to 8% cashback on purchases and ATM withdrawals. Traders can also access DeFi features such as crypto-backed loans, staking and yield accounts, plus structured trading products. The Cardano ADA card is integrated into Wirex’s platform, tapping 6 million users across 130 countries. EMURGO, Cardano’s commercial arm, partnered in this launch and plans to roll out a non-custodial version in 2026. Future updates include auto-staking and tokenised real-world asset yields. A share of profits will fund the Cardano Treasury to boost ecosystem sustainability. This initiative bridges traditional finance and on-chain finance. By offering multi-chain spending, rewards and DeFi tools, the card may accelerate ADA’s mainstream adoption. Traders should watch for increased transaction volumes and potential demand for ADA as real-world use cases grow.

Zcash has dropped nearly 30% from its seven-year high of $734.96, trading around $512 after an 850% surge since early October. On the 4-hour chart, a bearish double top at $749 and $683 with a $503.42 neckline signals potential declines. Key indicators like MACD and RSI are trending down. A decisive break below the $503.42 support could push ZEC toward the $400 Fibonacci retracement level and even $256.41. Futures open interest fell 28% to $846 million, while the long-to-short ratio dipped below 1, reflecting traders’ bearish stance. Despite gains in peer privacy coins such as Monero (XMR) and Dash (DASH), Zcash’s near-term outlook remains weak. A rebound above $600 is needed to invalidate the bearish setup.

Over the week, bitcoin (BTC) price on OKX fell below $103,000—trading at $102,883.10 on November 12 (-0.57%)—following an earlier dip under $101,000 on November 7 ($100,946.50, ‑1.05%). These declines highlight short-term bearish momentum in the cryptocurrency market amid rising volatility, profit-taking and macroeconomic uncertainties. Traders will watch $100,000 support, $102,000 resistance, trading volume and macro signals for clues on the next bitcoin price direction.

Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation have jointly proposed activating the long-debated Uniswap fee switch to align UNI token incentives with protocol revenue. The governance plan calls for an immediate retroactive burn of 100 million UNI (around 16% of circulating supply), programmatic burns of Unichain sequencer fees (after L1 data costs and Optimism’s 15% fee), and a 20 million UNI annual growth budget. It also merges Foundation functions into Labs and eliminates front-end, wallet, and API fees. The proposal reallocates 0.05% of V2’s 0.3% trading fee and up to 25% of V3 fees to the protocol, potentially generating $100M–$130M in annual revenue. Over the past two years, Uniswap’s DEX market share fell from over 60% to below 15%, with Solana and new Base protocols eating into volume. A live fee switch would have burned an estimated $26M of UNI last month, and initial market response saw UNI surge 40%. While the fee switch establishes a clear on-chain value accrual mechanism and improves tokenomics—cutting fully diluted valuation and boosting yield capture—it may reduce LP returns by 10%–25% and risk liquidity migration. Traders should monitor governance votes, fee-burn rates, DEX volume trends, and on-chain metrics to assess UNI’s medium-term valuation, balancing the bullish outlook against execution risks.

Threshold Network has launched an upgraded protocol and app enabling direct, gasless tBTC minting and redemption between Bitcoin mainnet and multiple chains—Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Polygon, Sui and Starknet—in a single BTC transaction. The new interface features a Use tBTC directory, a Vaults dashboard for integrated yield strategies, and a unified My Activity log. Users only need to deposit BTC to a single-use address; tBTC arrives on the chosen chain without gas costs, secondary approvals or L1 bridging. Aimed at both institutional and retail traders, this streamlined process maintains full self-custody while facilitating seamless DeFi integration. With institutional Bitcoin holdings surpassing $414 billion, Threshold Network positions tBTC as a trust-minimized bridge for corporate treasuries and funds to deploy BTC liquidity across DeFi markets.

Pi Network has rolled out version 0.5.4 of its Node app, now rebranded as Pi Desktop, to enhance reliability, accessibility and secure reward calculations. The update fixes Pi App Studio display issues, moves the App Studio icon to the top navigation bar, enables approved external links for accessing blogs and resources, and addresses bugs in auto-updates, block container creation and reward computations. A new open port verification mechanism strengthens security and sets the stage for future reward migration. On the market front, the PI token spiked to nearly $0.30 in late October before retracing to around $0.23, delivering a 14% monthly gain and holding above the $0.20 support level. Exchange reserves have climbed by 2 million PI in the past 24 hours to more than 426 million tokens, indicating a potential build-up of sell pressure. Looking ahead, approximately 143 million PI tokens are set to unlock within the next 30 days, which may drive short-term volatility. Traders should monitor the Pi Desktop upgrade, upcoming token unlocks and growing exchange balances for trading opportunities and risk management.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin proposes a multi-layer security framework that fuses zero-knowledge proofs (ZK proofs) with multi-party computation (MPC), fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) and trusted execution environments (TEEs). This layered approach enhances blockchain security by ensuring privacy-preserving verification, secure computation on encrypted data and hardware-level protection. Buterin highlights voting systems as a prime use case, enabling verifiable, private and tamper-resistant elections. Key challenges include high computational demands and cross-platform standardization. However, ongoing hardware advances and protocol optimizations signal progress. Traders should watch ZK proofs fusion tools closely. Enhanced blockchain security solutions may drive institutional adoption, boost DeFi protocols and unlock new privacy-focused applications in finance, supply chain and identity management.

Ethereum whales and institutional investors are intensifying ETH accumulation as prices recover above $3,500. On-chain data from Lookonchain and Prime show top-tier accounts repaid loans and bought over 394,682 ETH (~$1.37B) in three days. Among them, Bitmine Immersion acquired 23,521 ETH (~$82.8M), while the largest whale bought 257,543 ETH at an average price of $3,480. Traders view the $3,000–$3,400 support range as an attractive entry point and expect ETH to rally toward $4,500–$4,800. Some analysts set longer-term targets up to $10,000 by 2025. Continued whale activity and weekly institutional buys of $200M–$300M could tighten ETH supply ahead of scalability upgrades. The Ethereum Fear & Greed Index has slipped into “fear,” indicating potential volatility. These Ethereum whales’ moves and institutional buying pressure reinforce a bullish outlook for a sustained rally.

Uniswap’s UNIfication governance proposal activates the long-debated fee switch on v2 and v3 pools. The Uniswap fee switch will divert 16–25% of swap fees into a “Token Jar” smart contract. UNI holders can burn tokens to withdraw crypto from the jar. The plan also mandates an immediate burn of nearly 100 million UNI—around $800 million—to account for fees since launch. Following the UNIfication announcement, the UNI token rallied over 50% to an intraday peak of $9.94, with trading volume surpassing $3 billion. Analysts estimate the fee switch could destroy up to $500 million worth of UNI annually, with monthly buybacks of about $38 million. Uniswap Labs and the Uniswap Foundation back the upgrade to reduce circulating supply, share protocol revenue, and reinforce Uniswap’s leading exchange status. The deflationary tokenomics model and revenue-sharing mechanism align incentives across stakeholders and may drive further UNI token price appreciation.

Coinbase Token Sales has launched a regulated platform in the US that enables retail investors to participate in monthly token offerings via the Coinbase app. The inaugural sale runs November 17–22, 2025, featuring Monad’s MON token with purchases in USDC. The bottom-up allocation algorithm gives priority to smaller orders to ensure fair distribution and curb whale dominance. After the sale, MON tokens auto-list on Coinbase, providing immediate liquidity, while a 30-day penalty on sale discourages short-term flips and supports market stability. Each token sale is one week long, and Coinbase Token Sales plans roughly one offering per month. Verified users must pass compliance checks and complete purchases in USDC. Project teams commit to a six-month lockup, and token issuers pay fees based on funds raised. The MON sale allocates 7.5% of supply to the public and includes a 3.3% airdrop. By combining compliance with streamlined launch mechanics, Coinbase Token Sales revives the ICO model under strict U.S. regulations. Traders should monitor this structured launch and future monthly releases for potential market impacts.

Strive, backed by entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, executed a major Bitcoin buy, acquiring 1,567 BTC for $162 million at an average price of $103,315 each. This Bitcoin buy lifts its total holdings to 7,525 BTC, placing Strive among the top 15 global corporate holders. The purchase was funded through an oversubscribed Nasdaq listing of SATA preferred shares. This non-dilutive, perpetual preferred equity model—dubbed the “Bitcoin amplification toggle”—offers a 12% variable monthly dividend classified as a return of capital, potentially providing tax efficiencies. Strive also appointed a new chief investment officer to oversee its Bitcoin treasury strategy and approved governance changes to expand board oversight. Vivek Ramaswamy increased his equity stake, underlining leadership alignment with the company’s Bitcoin accumulation plan. This move underscores growing institutional adoption and introduces an innovative financing model for building crypto exposure.

Whale Alert flagged a 59,999 ETH transfer on November 5 and again on November 11 from Binance to an unknown wallet, moving roughly $210–214 million. This ETH transfer removes significant liquidity from the exchange and may tighten supply, reducing selling pressure. Large ETH transfers often signal institutional accumulation, DeFi deployment or staking preparation. Similar whale movements have historically preceded Ethereum price rallies. Traders should monitor exchange balances, on-chain metrics and upcoming wallet activity to assess potential price momentum. The continued outflow highlights growing institutional confidence in ETH and a bullish shift in market sentiment.

Whale purchases of HYPER tokens have pushed the Bitcoin Hyper presale past $27 million. Three major buys totalling $307,000 highlight growing demand for the Layer-2 solution. Bitcoin Hyper uses a non-custodial Canonical Bridge to lock BTC and mint wrapped BTC on its Solana VM-compatible network. It delivers near-instant, low-fee transfers and supports Solana-style smart contracts. Security relies on zero-knowledge proofs and batch settlement on Bitcoin’s base layer. The current presale price is $0.013255, with staking incentives offering up to 43% APY. Tokenomics allocate 30% to development and 20% to marketing, reflecting active project progress. With Bitcoin trading below fair value against gold and testing $100K support, traders are seeking high-upside Layer-2 presales. Whale accumulation and strong grassroots interest signal bullish sentiment for HYPER ahead of listing. Traders should monitor staking yields and upcoming token unlocks.

WEFT Token 2.0 launches its $1M token sale on November 11, 2025, offering a 15% discount to new investors. Hosted by Curacao-licensed iGaming platform WEISS BET, the token sale invites users to join over 10,000 existing holders and leverages Play2Earn and Hold2Earn mechanics. Currently, more than 7.7 million WEFT tokens are staked, while monthly rakeback rewards total around 600,000 WEFT. Traders should monitor WEFT Token liquidity and staking yields, as the sale could drive significant trading volume and price momentum. With no-KYC access, crypto payments, and over 7,000 games from 70 providers, WEISS BET further strengthens token utility and ecosystem growth.

Former President Donald Trump proposed a $2,000 tariff dividend funded by U.S. tariffs, aiming to return trade revenues to around 85% of Americans. He announced the tariff dividend plan on Truth Social, drawing parallels to 2020 pandemic-era stimulus checks. Implementation hinges on a pending Supreme Court decision on presidential tariff powers, with Kalshi and Polymarket assigning only 20–23% odds of approval. Digital asset markets reacted swiftly: Bitcoin jumped from $102,000 to $106,000 as investors anticipated fresh liquidity. Analyst Anthony Pompliano noted that “stocks and Bitcoin only know to go higher in response to stimulus.” If upheld, the tariff dividend could inject billions and drive another wave of Bitcoin buying, potentially echoing the 1,500% gains seen after 2020 relief checks. Traders should track the court ruling and inflation trends, as legal uncertainty may spur volatility but also fuel long-term demand for Bitcoin as an inflation hedge.
