Bitcoin Price Freefalls Down to $91,0000 and New Lows
Bitcoin MagazineNov 17, 2025, 08:27 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Price Freefalls Down to $91,0000 and New Lows Bitcoin price has tumbled to its lowest level in six months, trading from below $92,000 to the $95,000s range today, only less than six weeks from hitting a record highs near $126,000 in early October. The roughly 30% decline comes as traders grapple with renewed uncertainty over whether the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates at its December meeting. At the time of publishing, the lowest Bitcoin price recorded today was $91,158, per Bitcoin Magazine data. Missing economic data from last month’s 43-day government shutdown has left policymakers in a cautious stance, with Fed Chair Jerome Powell noting that “a further reduction in the policy rate…is not a foregone conclusion.” Boston Fed President Susan Collins echoed the sentiment, suggesting it may be “appropriate to keep policy rates at the current level for some time” to balance inflation and employment risks. Analysts say a sharp shift in market sentiment is driving the latest crypto downturn. Henry Allen of Deutsche Bank warned that investors shouldn’t “underestimate the impact” of the Fed’s increasingly hawkish stance, which has often lined up with broad market sell-offs. Big institutions are pulling back too: crypto ETFs saw $1.8 billion in outflows last week, including a hefty $870 million pulled from Bitcoin products on Thursday alone. Bitcoin price is also losing steam as excitement over Donald Trump’s pro-crypto agenda fades. The massive November 2024 rally — driven by hopes for friendly regulation and even a proposed Bitcoin treasury — reversed after Trump floated 100% tariffs on Chinese imports. That shock triggered one of the largest liquidation events in crypto history, erasing about half a trillion dollars in hours and leaving major assets struggling to regain momentum. Technical indicators aren’t helping sentiment. Bitcoin price flashed a “death cross” on Sunday, a bearish chart pattern where short-term averages slip below long-term trends. Still, analysts like Benjamin Cowen note that past death crosses often appeared near market bottoms, hinting a rebound may not be far off. Altcoins are sliding alongside the Bitcoin price. Ethereum dropped below $3,000 today and Solana each dropped roughly a third since early October, feeding into a broader $1 trillion wipeout across the crypto market. The market’s next key catalyst will likely be the Federal Open Market Committee’s December rate decision, which could determine whether Bitcoin price sees further losses or a potential “Santa rally” in the coming weeks. Bitcoin price and crypto stocks continue slumping Crypto-linked stocks are facing significant losses amid broader market turbulence and declining cryptocurrency prices. At the time of writing, Coinbase Global Inc (NASDAQ: COIN) is trading at $260.26 USD, down $23.74 (‑8.36%) today, reflecting reduced trading activity and lower fee revenue as the Bitcoin price struggles. Strategy Inc Class A (NASDAQ: MSTR) sits at $191.59 USD, down $8.16 (‑4.09%), showing strong correlation with Bitcoin’s recent pullback. Miners are also under pressure, with MARA Holdings Inc (NASDAQ: MARA) down $0.85 (‑7.10%) at $11.14 USD and Riot Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: RIOT) down $0.49 (‑3.55%) at $13.46 USD. Strategy recently made its largest Bitcoin purchase since mid-summer, acquiring 8,178 BTC last week for approximately $835.6 million. According to an SEC filing and a post by Michael Saylor on X, the purchases were made at an average price of $102,171 per bitcoin. This brings the company’s total holdings to 649,870 BTC, with a cumulative cost of roughly $48.37 billion and an average price of $74,433 per coin. Strategy reports that its Bitcoin yield has reached 27.8% year-to-date. At the time of the announcement, Bitcoin price was trading near $94,000, while Strategy’s stock ($MSTR) was down about 2% in premarket trading, at $195.86. The recent acquisition was primarily funded through the issuance of preferred stock. Earlier this month, the company raised around $715 million via its new euro-denominated preferred series, STRE (“Steam”), which was aimed at expanding its high-yield offerings to European investors. This move highlights Strategy’s continued commitment to building its Bitcoin exposure while leveraging financial instruments to support large-scale purchases.

Analyst Says $1.1T Wipeout Signals New Era for Crypto Markets
CryptoPotatoNov 17, 2025, 08:15 PM
A 41-day liquidation cascade erased $1.1 trillion from the crypto market, marking one of the most severe structural contractions in its history, according to an analysis by Shanaka Anslem Perera. The industry observer is framing the wipeout as the end of the high-leverage era and the beginning of a more institution-driven trading environment for the asset class. The Mechanics of a Market Reset Perera’s research showed that between October 6 and November 17, digital asset venues shed about $27 billion in value per day, with the expert describing the episode as a “structural reset” rather than a normal cycle correction. In that time, Bitcoin fell from an all-time high above $126,000 to lows around $93,000, a drop of roughly 25%, which, in the analyst’s opinion, formally pushed the number one cryptocurrency into a decisive downturn phase. “Bitcoin, the bellwether cryptocurrency, plummeted from its October peak of $126,270 to a November low near $93,000, representing a 25% decline that technically qualifies as bear market territory,” he wrote. Derivatives data show how exposed the crypto space was. Open interest in BTC perpetual futures had climbed above $40 billion by early October, with funding rates signaling extreme long positioning. But when macro pressure hit, including tightening dollar liquidity, a 43-day U.S. government shutdown, and trade frictions, high-leverage longs began to unwind. A liquidation event on October 10 alone resulted in the loss of around $19.2 billion, marking the largest forced closure in crypto history. The stress continued into mid-November, with BTC dipping to just above $93,000 on November 16 after trading near $106,500 earlier in the week. The drop came even as U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent hinted a U.S.-China trade deal could be signed before Thanksgiving. The pain was felt across the board. Ethereum (ETH) is currently priced near $3,200 after a more than 12% drop in the last seven days, while majors like XRP, BNB, and Solana (SOL) have dropped between 8% and 17% over the same period, per CoinGecko data. According to Perera, the root cause was a trading arena oversaturated with leverage. He explained that with traders employing leverage ratios of 50x or even 100x, a mere 1-2% adverse price movement was enough to trigger automatic liquidations. From Halving Cycles to Macro Liquidity Gauge For many analysts, the bigger story is what this episode says about how crypto now works. In his report, Perera echoed previous analysis from K33 Research, arguing that Bitcoin’s famous four-year halving rhythm has been “invalidated” by the rise of spot ETFs and deepening institutional strategies, from basis trades to treasury holdings. Instead of depending on retail-driven fluctuations, BTC now reacts more directly to dollar liquidity, interest-rate expectations, and equity volatility. His opinion was mirrored by The Kobeissi Letter, which also described the happenings in crypto as a “structural move,” pointing to a new regime where leverage and liquidations dictate behaviour. However, the financial commentary account reminded followers that new highs have eventually followed every 25%+ drop in crypto history. Meanwhile, on-chain and sentiment data hint that the market may be moving from forced selling to quiet accumulation. The Fear and Greed Index fell to 10 over the past weekend, its lowest reading since February, while stablecoin supply has expanded by nearly $20 billion this year, dry powder that often enters the space after sharp corrections.

Grayscale and Bitwise Dogecoin ETFs Could Launch Within Days as SEC Review Clock Ticks
BeInCryptoNov 17, 2025, 06:55 PM
Grayscale’s Dogecoin ETF could launch as soon as November 24, following a 20-day SEC review clock triggered after its registration filing. Bitwise also seeks automatic approval, marking a significant step in the institutionalization of meme coins. These filings indicate a significant shift in regulatory oversight as Multiple asset managers now compete to bring Dogecoin into traditional portfolios through tax-efficient and regulated vehicles. SEC Review Process Accelerates Approval Timeline This faster timeline stems from Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933. The provision allows registration statements to automatically become effective 20 days after filing, unless the SEC takes action. Grayscale and Bitwise are using this to skip the more complex 19b-4 exchange rule procedure usually needed for ETF launches. The official SEC guidance confirms that registration statements gain automatic effectiveness under Section 8(a) after 20 days. This shortcut has expedited product launches as institutional interest in cryptocurrency investment grows. Bitwise filed its application on November 7. This could set the stage for a late November launch. Meanwhile, Balchunas predicts a November 24 launch for Grayscale, though he cautioned that confirmation depends on official exchange notice. The SEC has acknowledged both filings, kicking off the regulatory review and public comment period. Based on 20 day clock I believe Grayscale will be out with first Doge ETF in a week, 11/24. We'll see, won't be 100% till exchange notice, but based on SEC guidance it looks good. pic.twitter.com/mvlGsNyNVG— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) November 17, 2025 Grayscale launched its Dogecoin Trust on January 31, 2025, as a precursor to the ETF application. The Trust enables investors to gain Dogecoin exposure without direct ownership, addressing custody and security concerns that have deterred many institutions. Commodity Classification Boosts Approval Odds Dogecoin’s likely classification as a commodity, rather than a security, now plays a significant role in its approval prospects. This classification helps sidestep the legal issues that have slowed Solana and XRP ETF efforts, where securities status remains disputed. The Federal Register filing for NYSE Arca’s proposed rule change directly references Dogecoin under Rule 8.201-E, which covers “Commodity-Based Trust Shares.” This aligns with the Commodity Exchange Act and signals that both exchanges and the SEC consider Dogecoin a commodity fit for an ETF structure. Bloomberg analysts predict a 90% chance of Dogecoin ETF approval, versus 95% for XRP. These estimates reflect rising confidence in the SEC’s openness to altcoin ETFs, following Solana ETF decisions earlier this year. However, the process still requires a 240-day review window after publication in the Federal Register. During this window, public input can shape the SEC’s final decision. The Commission may delay, request amendments, or issue stop orders if investor protection or market integrity is compromised. Industry-Wide Institutional Push Gains Momentum Meanwhile, the race for a Dogecoin ETF now extends beyond Grayscale and Bitwise. Leading asset managers, such as 21Shares, Rex Shares, and Osprey Funds, have filed similar applications, signaling an industry-wide consensus that meme coins are growing into institutional-grade investment products. 21Shares filed its Dogecoin ETF registration on April 9, 2025, detailing custody with Coinbase Custody Trust Company. Using independent, regulated custodians answers SEC demands for secure storage and institutional compliance, removing a major barrier for traditional finance. ETFs offer clear advantages over direct crypto holdings. In-kind creation and redemption allow tax efficiency. Regulated frameworks boost transparency and investor protection, features that spot trading lacks. These benefits appeal to pension funds, endowments, and registered investment advisors with fiduciary obligations. Industry observers predict that more than 200 crypto ETF approvals will be made by mid-2026. This trend could drive massive institutional capital flows and lower volatility, moving the market away from retail-dominated activity and closer to mainstream acceptance. Despite this growing momentum, Dogecoin’s price has dropped, down 0.4499% in the last 24 hours. As of this writing, DOGE traded for $0.1543. Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Performance. Source: BeInCrypto This suggests that ETF approvals may not deliver immediate gains, but steady institutional demand could eventually drive sustained growth. The coming weeks will reveal whether regulatory timelines align with market expectations. Should Grayscale and Bitwise succeed in launching before year-end, Dogecoin would join Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana among the few cryptocurrencies available through US-regulated ETFs. Such a turnout would strengthen its status within the digital asset space.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Rich Dad Poor Dad Author Buys More Bitcoin During Crash – What Does He Know?
CryptoNews.comNov 17, 2025, 03:10 PM
Bitcoin continues to drift lower despite a wave of bullish long-term commentary from prominent investors. The cryptocurrency trades near $95,200, down slightly in the past 24 hours, with a live market cap of $1.89tn and roughly 19.94mn BTC in circulation. While short-term sentiment remains fragile, recent buying interest from well-known figures such as Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki is adding a new layer of confidence to the long-term outlook.Robert Kiyosaki Sees Bitcoin Hitting $250K Amid Market Dip, Urges Buying Strong AssetsKiyosaki has reiterated his call for Bitcoin to reach $250,000, arguing that the latest decline is part of a broader adjustment driven by rising global debt, slowing economic growth, and governments resorting to increased money creation. In his view, assets with fixed supply, including Bitcoin, stand to benefit in an environment where traditional currencies lose purchasing power. He has confirmed plans to accumulate more BTC once markets stabilize, putting the focus back on Bitcoin’s scarcity and its adoption curve. JUST IN: Robert Kiyosaki is holding his Bitcoin and gold, arguing a global cash shortage is the real driver of the market crash. He plans to buy more BTC after the downturn, believing massive government money printing will ultimately make hard assets more valuable as "fake… pic.twitter.com/FZis9FR8jd— jcrypto (@real_jcrypto) November 15, 2025 Kiyosaki also expects gold to reach $27,000 and silver to climb to $100, framing these assets as anchors in a world where monetary systems face structural strain. His stance has resonated with investors looking for indicators that large players view the recent dip as a long-term entry point rather than a sign of deeper trouble.Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Tests Breakdown Zone as Momentum WeakensBitcoin price prediction is bearish as BTC is trading below the $102,000–$107,000 supply zone, previously the neckline of a double-bottom breakout, has shifted momentum decisively toward sellers. A firm rejection from the descending 20-EMA reinforces the pressure, with price now contained inside a developing descending channel. The RSI sits near the mid-30s, indicating waning momentum but no confirmed bullish divergence yet.Price action remains sensitive around the former breakout zone. Attempts to reclaim higher ground have met resistance, suggesting that buyers are waiting for clearer signals before re-entering with conviction.Downside Levels in Play as Trendline Break HoldsA significant longer-term trendline extending from the March lows has now broken, indicating a shift from trend exhaustion to a deeper retracement phase.

Bitcoin continues to drift lower despite a wave of bullish long-term commentary from prominent investors. The cryptocurrency trades near $95,200, down slightly in the past 24 hours, with a live market cap of $1.89tn and roughly 19.94mn BTC in circulation. While short-term sentiment remains fragile, recent buying interest from well-known figures such as Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki is adding a new layer of confidence to the long-term outlook.Robert Kiyosaki Sees Bitcoin Hitting $250K Amid Market Dip, Urges Buying Strong AssetsKiyosaki has reiterated his call for Bitcoin to reach $250,000, arguing that the latest decline is part of a broader adjustment driven by rising global debt, slowing economic growth, and governments resorting to increased money creation. In his view, assets with fixed supply, including Bitcoin, stand to benefit in an environment where traditional currencies lose purchasing power. He has confirmed plans to accumulate more BTC once markets stabilize, putting the focus back on Bitcoin’s scarcity and its adoption curve.

His stance has resonated with investors looking for indicators that large players view the recent dip as a long-term entry point rather than a sign of deeper trouble.Bitcoin (BTC/USD) Tests Breakdown Zone as Momentum WeakensBitcoin price prediction is bearish as BTC is trading below the $102,000–$107,000 supply zone, previously the neckline of a double-bottom breakout, has shifted momentum decisively toward sellers. A firm rejection from the descending 20-EMA reinforces the pressure, with price now contained inside a developing descending channel. The RSI sits near the mid-30s, indicating waning momentum but no confirmed bullish divergence yet.Price action remains sensitive around the former breakout zone. Attempts to reclaim higher ground have met resistance, suggesting that buyers are waiting for clearer signals before re-entering with conviction.Downside Levels in Play as Trendline Break HoldsA significant longer-term trendline extending from the March lows has now broken, indicating a shift from trend exhaustion to a deeper retracement phase. If Bitcoin follows its current path, a short-term recovery toward $99,000–$102,000 is possible, but this zone may now function as a bearish retest rather than a new support base.

Could XRP Be a Good Investment During Economic Uncertainty? 70% Post-Shutdown Rally History Says Yes – What About XRP Tundra?
CryptoPotatoNov 17, 2025, 03:00 PM
Periods of political ambiguity often make the crypto markets more volatile, and the current US government shutdown has once again pushed investors to revisit historical patterns. A closer look at earlier cycles shows that crypto markets tend to react sharply once policy uncertainty clears, and analysts are drawing comparisons to certain rebounds in the past that followed similar events. XRP has become a central topic of discussion after two widely circulated posts on X revived interest in its past performance. This renewed attention arrives at a moment when long-term investors are monitoring macro conditions closely and assessing whether digital assets with defined utility could be better positioned for recovery than speculative tokens. Analysts Revisit XRP’s Historical Reaction to Shutdown Resolutions Discussion around a rally following the government shutdown in the US resurfaced after the popular analysts Levi Rietveld and Steph Crypto referenced XRP’s reaction to the end of the 2019 shutdown in separate posts earlier this month. Rietveld argued that the end of the current shutdown could signal the start of one of XRP’s strongest uptrends in years, outlining how markets often respond when uncertainty wears off. Steph Crypto expanded on that idea a day later. He pointed out that President Donald Trump has encouraged both political parties to reach a deal that would reopen the government. According to his analysis,this may estore broader market confidence and create conditions that might be supportive of a fresh crypto rally. He also pointed to the 2019 shutdown’s conclusion, when XRP climbed more than 70%. Economic Uncertainty Raises Interest in Utility-Anchored Ecosystems When macro conditions are uncertain, this generally pushes investors to evaluate assets based on function rather than market momentum. XRP has an already established role in payments, which helped it maintain long-term confidence even during periods of volatility. What is more, the wider XRPL ecosystem has seen increased attention from users seeking structured, measurable utility. That shift has extended into emerging XRPL-connected ecosystems, including XRP Tundra, which combines Solana throughput with XRPL governance functionality. Its dual-token architecture reflects the broader trend toward multi-network designs that separate transactional roles from governance and reserves — a structure that appeals to users who prefer systems built around operational clarity rather than speculative growth. Investors conducting due diligence often begin with fundamental questions like whether a certain project is “legit”, a search phrase that has grown more common as economic uncertainty increases. This behavior aligns with a wider market pattern: verification and transparency gain importance when macro conditions tighten. For those researching whether XRP Tundra is legit, they can check the following article. XRP Tundra Offers Structural Clarity Through a Dual-Token Model The XRP Tundra framework distributes TUNDRA-S on Solana and TUNDRA-X on the XRPL through a synchronized airdrop occurring one hour before the January launch. The Phase 11 presale price of $0.183 for TUNDRA-S includes a 9% token bonus, while TUNDRA-X is allocated at a $0.0915 reference value at no additional cost. This separation of roles is what allows TUNDRA-S to serve as the utility token for staking and platform activity, while TUNDRA-X functions as XRPL-based governance and reserves. The model is designed to match the growing investor preference for ecosystems that define each token’s purpose properly, especially during market cycles where predictability is more valuable than aggressive expansion. The presale remains open until January 12th, 2026, after which all unsold tokens are permanently burned — a supply rule that has resonated with investors seeking long-term stability rather than post-launch dilution. Staking Remains a Key Consideration for Long-Term Participants As the discussions about what will happen to the market after the shutdown ends intensify, yield-oriented ecosystems have drawn heightened interest. XRP Tundra’s staking structure is one of the reasons it is frequently included in research threads surrounding XRP-based platforms. Liquid Staking provides a 4–6% APY with no commitment, suited for participants who value flexibility during uncertain economic periods. Balanced Staking offers 8–12% APY over a 30-day lock, appealing to users who want a steady yield with predictable timeframes. Premium Staking delivers 15–20% APY through a 90-day commitment, designed for holders with longer investment horizons. These tiers provide defined yield mechanics without relying on market speculation, a feature that aligns with how many investors behave during unpredictable policy cycles. Verification Records and Launch Preparation Support a Measured Market Outlook Verification continues to play a central role as January approaches. XRP Tundra’s review materials include the Cyberscope audit, the Solidproof audit, and the FreshCoins audit, each analyzing contract logic and presale allocation structure. Team documentation is validated through the Vital Block KYC. Together, these records form a consistent backdrop for investors assessing the project during an environment shaped by economic uncertainty and policy flux. As markets watch whether this year’s shutdown will mirror past reactions, demand has shifted toward ecosystems that combine functional utility with transparent launch mechanics. Interested investors should monitor the shutdown outcome closely and position ahead of potential policy-driven market shifts affecting XRP and staking ecosystems.

Crypto Carnage Continues — Tom Lee Exposes What’s Really Going On
NewsBTCNov 17, 2025, 03:00 PM
The global crypto market pulled back to about $3.23 trillion on Monday, down close to a percent from recent levels, and signs of weakness were visible across most top tokens. According to market trackers, investor mood is chilled — the Fear and Greed Index sits at 18, labeled extreme fear — and the average Relative Strength Index for major coins hovers near 41, a reading that leans toward oversold conditions. Bitcoin was trading around $95,400 while Ethereum hovered near $3,155, with many large-cap assets showing only small daily moves. Tom Lee Issues Long-Term Take According to Tom Lee, BitMine chairman and an early Bitcoin bull at Fundstrat, the current pullback does not wipe out the potential for much larger gains down the road. Lee noted that Bitcoin rose roughly 100x from his first recommendation back in 2017, when the price was near $1,000, and he suggested Ethereum may be at the start of a similar long-term run. BitMine Chairman Tom Lee suggested that the recent crypto market weakness may be due to one or more market makers having a “hole” in their balance sheets, with “sharks” circling to trigger liquidations and push BTC lower. He emphasized that this is short-term pain and does not… — Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) November 16, 2025 He cautioned that investors who benefited from past rallies had to endure extreme drops — some as deep as 75% — and said present volatility could be the market “discounting a massive future.” Short-Term Signals Point To Oversold Conditions Market technicians and on-chain analysts are pointing to clear short-term stress. The Fear and Greed Index at 18 is one headline figure. Average RSI readings near 41 imply more selling than buying momentum right now. To me, the weakness in crypto has the all the signs – of a market maker (or two) with a major “hole” in their balance sheet Sharks circling to trigger a liquidation / dumping of prices $BTC Is this pain short-term? Yes Does this change the $ETH supercycle of Wall Street… pic.twitter.com/0jfkXYnfv9 — Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FSInsight.com (@fundstrat) November 15, 2025 Based on reports from CryptoQuant, Ether trading around $3,150 sits roughly $200 above the mean cost basis held by long-term accumulators — a level that could act as support if those holders remain patient. Bitcoin, by comparison, has pulled back about 20% from its recent peak, while Ethereum has fallen more than 30% from its high. Bitcoin is a volatile asset. We first recommended Bitcoin to Fundstrat clients in 2017 (1%-2% allocation) – Bitcoin 2017 ~$1,000 Since then (past 8.5 years), $BTC: – 6 declines > -50% – 3 declines > – 75% 2025, Bitcoin 100x from our first recommendation TAKEAWAY: To have… pic.twitter.com/xtIRGLdnWM — Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FSInsight.com (@fundstrat) November 16, 2025 Ether Holder Levels Close To Historic Peaks Ethereum’s path this year diverged from Bitcoin for a while: ETH topped out at $4,940 in August, while Bitcoin pushed to a peak above $126,000 in October. That gap left Ether lagging for months even as Bitcoin made fresh highs. Now, with ETH nearer to where long-term holders bought in, some analysts see a potential floor forming. Reports have disclosed that these accumulators have been “patiently stacking,” and their cost positions matter for near-term price action. Altcoins Show Little Momentum Smaller large-cap coins are holding weaker ground. XRP was trading near $2.20, BNB around $932 and Solana close to $138, with most of last week’s gains fading. Other popular tokens — Tron, Dogecoin, Cardano, Chainlink, Hyperliquid and Zcash — are under light selling pressure and low net movement, suggesting market-wide caution rather than a single-asset sell-off. Bigger Players, Liquidations And The Outlook Lee added that he expects signs of recovery and stability within six to eight weeks. He advised against using borrowed funds now, warning that forced sell-offs can accelerate losses. According to his remarks, aggressive positions designed to trigger liquidations by large firms can amplify price swings. He cautioned that some of the sharper moves may be tied to stress among big market makers. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Bitcoin Safe from Quantum Threat for 20–40 Years, Says Cryptographer Adam Back
CryptoNews.comNov 17, 2025, 02:11 PM
Bitcoin is unlikely to face a meaningful threat from quantum computing for at least two to four decades, according to cypherpunk and Blockstream CEO Adam Back. The longtime cryptographer, who was cited in the original Bitcoin white paper, said current fears circulating on social media over an imminent “quantum attack” are overstated.Back made the comment on Nov. 15 while responding to an X user who asked whether Bitcoin was at risk as quantum research accelerates. Probably not for 20-40 years, if then. And there are quantum secure signatures, NIST standardized SLH-DSA last year. Bitcoin can add over time, as the evaluation continues and be quantum ready, long before cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive.— Adam Back (@adam3us) November 15, 2025 He wrote that Bitcoin is “probably not” vulnerable for “20–40 years,” pointing out that the National Institute of Standards and Technology has already approved post-quantum encryption standards that Bitcoin could adopt long before quantum computers reach a level where breaking SHA-256 becomes realistic.Despite Viral Predictions, Practical Quantum Attacks Remain Far From RealityHis response followed a viral video of venture capitalist Chamath Palihapitiya, who predicted that the quantum threat could emerge in as little as two to five years. Chamath predicts a 2-5 year window before quantum computing becomes advanced enough to potentially break Bitcoin’s encryption. pic.twitter.com/1vTUh1i1Lm— Bitcoin Teddy (@Bitcoin_Teddy) November 14, 2025 Palihapitiya argued that roughly 8,000 qubits would be required to break SHA-256. Back pushed back on the timeline, explaining that today’s machines are far too noisy and far too small.The highest-capacity neutral-atom system, built at Caltech, has reached about 6,100 physical qubits. However, this remains unusable for breaking cryptography because real-world qubits require heavy error correction. Systems with more stable qubits, such as Quantinuum’s Helios, still only deliver about 48 logical qubits. Gate-based systems recently passed 1,000 qubits with Atom Computing, but this is far from the thousands of logical qubits needed to run Shor’s algorithm on current standards like RSA-2048 or Bitcoin’s elliptic curve signatures.While experts agree that practical quantum attacks are not achievable today, the long-term threat remains. The idea of “harvest now, decrypt later,” where attackers collect encrypted data now and decrypt it in the future, has already become a concern in traditional cybersecurity. This technique does not directly affect Bitcoin’s ownership model but highlights the need for timely upgrades across the digital world as quantum capabilities evolve.Is Bitcoin Really Ready for the Quantum Era?The debate over preparation has intensified across the Bitcoin community this year.In November, on-chain analyst Willy Woo urged users to move coins from Taproot addresses, arguing that addresses exposing public keys directly could become vulnerable first. Former Bitcoin Core developer Jonas Schnelli said older formats offer more short-term protection, though he warned that no user-initiated migration plan can be considered fully safe once quantum machines reach the mempool-level attack threshold. Good advice for protecting unspent coins – P2PKH gives you years of protection while Taproot exposes your pubkey immediately.But don’t call this “quantum safe.” The moment you broadcast a spend, your pubkey hits the mempool. A quantum attacker could crack your key and RBF… https://t.co/s7DGJ7N8xB— Jonas Schnelli (@_jonasschnelli_) November 11, 2025 Developers are now examining Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360, which introduces quantum-resistant ML-DSA signatures selected by NIST in 2024.The plan, drafted by Jameson Lopp, outlines a multi-year transition to phase out older signature schemes before quantum machines become relevant. Supporters argue it provides structure to a complex upgrade process, while others say only a protocol-level overhaul will give users reliable protection.Industry voices remain split on timelines. Some, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, warn that a breakthrough within five years cannot be ruled out as AI accelerates research.Analysts estimate that roughly 6 to 7 million BTC sit in older address formats that would be first in line for a quantum attack.El Salvador, which holds more than 6,000 BTC in its national reserve, recently redistributed its treasury across 14 addresses to reduce exposure after criticism over single-address storage.Source: a16zMultiple quantum researchers have revised their projections closer to the late 2020s or early 2030s, noting that required machine sizes have consistently dropped as hardware improves. Some startups now claim that specialized designs with hundreds of thousands of qubits could threaten 256-bit elliptic curve signatures.At the same time, engineers recognize that upgrading decentralized networks requires far more coordination than updating traditional systems. Post-quantum signature schemes often involve larger keys and higher computational loads, posing challenges for wallet developers and miners. Projects such as Rootstock and Naoris Protocol have begun experimenting with post-quantum infrastructure, and hardware wallets like Trezor’s Safe 7 now ship with quantum-secure update paths.The post Bitcoin Safe from Quantum Threat for 20–40 Years, Says Cryptographer Adam Back appeared first on Cryptonews.

This technique does not directly affect Bitcoin’s ownership model but highlights the need for timely upgrades across the digital world as quantum capabilities evolve.Is Bitcoin Really Ready for the Quantum Era?The debate over preparation has intensified across the Bitcoin community this year.In November, on-chain analyst Willy Woo urged users to move coins from Taproot addresses, arguing that addresses exposing public keys directly could become vulnerable first. Former Bitcoin Core developer Jonas Schnelli said older formats offer more short-term protection, though he warned that no user-initiated migration plan can be considered fully safe once quantum machines reach the mempool-level attack threshold. Good advice for protecting unspent coins – P2PKH gives you years of protection while Taproot exposes your pubkey immediately.But don’t call this “quantum safe.” The moment you broadcast a spend, your pubkey hits the mempool. A quantum attacker could crack your key and RBF… https://t.co/s7DGJ7N8xB— Jonas Schnelli (@_jonasschnelli_) November 11, 2025 Developers are now examining Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 360, which introduces quantum-resistant ML-DSA signatures selected by NIST in 2024.The plan, drafted by Jameson Lopp, outlines a multi-year transition to phase out older signature schemes before quantum machines become relevant. Supporters argue it provides structure to a complex upgrade process, while others say only a protocol-level overhaul will give users reliable protection.Industry voices remain split on timelines. Some, including Solana co-founder Anatoly Yakovenko, warn that a breakthrough within five years cannot be ruled out as AI accelerates research.Analysts estimate that roughly 6 to 7 million BTC sit in older address formats that would be first in line for a quantum attack.El Salvador, which holds more than 6,000 BTC in its national reserve, recently redistributed its treasury across 14 addresses to reduce exposure after criticism over single-address storage.Source: a16zMultiple quantum researchers have revised their projections closer to the late 2020s or early 2030s, noting that required machine sizes have consistently dropped as hardware improves. Some startups now claim that specialized designs with hundreds of thousands of qubits could threaten 256-bit elliptic curve signatures.At the same time, engineers recognize that upgrading decentralized networks requires far more coordination than updating traditional systems. Post-quantum signature schemes often involve larger keys and higher computational loads, posing challenges for wallet developers and miners. Projects such as Rootstock and Naoris Protocol have begun experimenting with post-quantum infrastructure, and hardware wallets like Trezor’s Safe 7 now ship with quantum-secure update paths.The post Bitcoin Safe from Quantum Threat for 20–40 Years, Says Cryptographer Adam Back appeared first on Cryptonews.

Bitcoin Hyper and the Hunt for the Next 1000x Crypto in 2025
NewsBTCNov 17, 2025, 01:55 PM
What to Know: Bitcoin volatility and extreme fear push investors toward infrastructure narratives like Bitcoin Layer-2s that can benefit if the macro bull case plays out. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) uses an SVM-based Layer-2, canonical bridge, and ZK-secured rollup design to bring fast, low-fee $BTC transactions and DeFi. The $HYPER presale has raised over $27.8M with whale participation, creating a sizable runway for development and liquidity programs. Forecasts suggest potential 6.5x upside from today’s token price by 2026 if Bitcoin Hyper executes its roadmap and Layer-2 demand grows. Bitcoin’s latest cycle is in full drama mode. After ripping to six-figure territory earlier this year, it has since slipped back under $100K, with recent moves below $93K triggering a fear and greed reading near ‘extreme panic’. Zoom out, though, and the big picture still leans bullish. Several major research desks and high-profile analysts continue to float targets between $200K and beyond for this cycle, with Hayes even hinting at a $1M $BTC by 2028 as institutional adoption ramps and treasuries continue to accumulate. That mix of macro optimism and short-term volatility pushes more capital away from pure ‘number go up’ bets and into infrastructure plays. One of the loudest narratives for 2025 is Bitcoin scaling: Layer-2 solutions, rollups, and sidechains built to handle the fees and congestion created by Ordinals, Runes, and the first wave of Bitcoin DeFi. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) fits straight into this setup. It is a Bitcoin Layer-2 that uses Solana’s Virtual Machine (SVM) to bring high-throughput and low-fee execution to $BTC, with a canonical bridge and rollup design that settles back to Bitcoin for security. Its presale has already attracted over $27.8M, with a token price of $0.013285 and massive post-launch potential. With a projected official launch window set for Q4 2025 – Q1 2026, $HYPER could become the next 1000x crypto in 2026 and beyond. Buy your $HYPER today before the presale window closes. Bitcoin Hyper Aims To Turn Bitcoin Into A High-Speed DeFi Rail Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER) thesis is simple: keep Bitcoin’s base-layer security while offloading activity to a dedicated execution environment. Users deposit $BTC to a monitored address on Layer-1, a canonical bridge verifies the transaction, then equivalent $BTC is minted on the Bitcoin Hyper Layer-2. From there, transfers and interactions happen in an SVM environment designed for near-instant finality and high throughput, before batched state updates and zero-knowledge proofs are committed back to Bitcoin. In practice, that means cheap $BTC payments, on-chain order books, staking, and even meme coins that are still anchored to Bitcoin’s settlement layer. Developers who already understand Solana’s tooling get a familiar stack while tapping into Bitcoin liquidity, which is exactly the combo many builders have been waiting for. If Bitcoin DeFi volume continues to grow and programmable $BTC takes off, a performant Layer-2 designed for that flow is well-positioned to capture fees and user attention. That is the core utility bet behind $HYPER. If you want to support that utility, buy your $HYPER today. The $HYPER Presale and ROI Scenarios For 2025–2026 On the numbers side, the Bitcoin Hyper presale has already crossed $27.8M, helped by at least one $502K whale ticket and consistent daily inflows despite the broader market wobble. Based on the community hype, investor participation, and the project’s express utility, our price prediction for $HYPER suggests a high of $0.08625 in 2026, assuming the roadmap stays on track. Against a $0.013285 entry, this implies roughly a 6.5x return in a 2026 scenario where the DAO is live, node incentives are working, and Bitcoin Layer-2 adoption continues to compound. These are not moonshots compared with meme-coin pumps, but they are realistic multiples for an infrastructure token that actually has to run a chain. With a clear-cut roadmap, a narrative aligned with Bitcoin’s technical development, and an influx of investors, we can rank $HYPER among the best presales of 2025. This makes it a great investment opportunity for $BTC holders who want scaling exposure rather than another meme. If you’re sold, read our guide on how to buy $HYPER beforehand. Buy your $HYPER today before the presale ends. This isn’t financial advice. DYOR before investing.

Best Crypto To Buy After Bitcoin’s Death Cross: Crash Risk Or Rebound Setup?
NewsBTCNov 17, 2025, 01:49 PM
What to Know: Bitcoin’s latest death cross shows heavy short-term stress, yet past cycles often delivered positive 2–3 month returns after similar signals. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) uses Solana-style tech to scale $BTC, with a large presale, clear roadmap and upside tied directly to Bitcoin activity. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is a meme-driven, Ethereum-based lifestyle token whose value depends heavily on community hype and post-fear risk appetite. Solana ($SOL) offers a more conservative way to play a potential rebound, combining deep liquidity, active dApps, and growing institutional demand. Bitcoin has just printed the dreaded ‘death cross’ on the daily chart as price slipped under $93K for the first time since May 5. The 50-day moving average has crossed below the 200-day moving average, a pattern that many traders still interpret as a classic bearish signal. Analyst KillaXBT believes there’s a 36% chance that the bear sprint will continue this Monday after glancing at Bitcoin’s pivot lows. With $BTC hovering around $95K at the time of writing and the Fear & Greed Index stuck in ‘extreme fear’ at 22, sentiment looks shaken. Several analysts also note that in bull markets, $BTC has frequently bottomed within about a week of the cross before rallying by 40–50% or more. Benjamin Cowen believes Bitcoin has one week to stabilize and bounce back. If that doesn’t happen, we should expect another dump. In that kind of environment, the ‘best crypto to buy’ question stops being about one magic ticker and becomes a risk-tier decision. Bitcoin-linked infrastructure, such as Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), high-beta meme plays like Maxi Doge ($MAXI), and a large-cap workhorse like Solana, each react differently to fear spikes and eventual recoveries. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – BTC Layer 2 Built For The Rebound Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a Bitcoin Layer 2 that tries to bolt Solana-style speed and throughput onto the $BTC ecosystem without sacrificing security. The design routes $BTC into a canonical bridge, verifies it on-chain, then moves value onto a high-performance Layer 2 powered by the Solana Virtual Machine. That lets users send $BTC with near-instant finality, low fees, and support for dApps, DeFi, and meme coins, before ultimately settling back to Bitcoin Layer 1. The $HYPER token sits at the center of that design. Its utility includes gas, protocol fees, access to premium features, and staking. The total supply is 21B, with large allocations to development, treasury, and marketing, aiming to support the delivery of the long-term roadmap rather than just a quick pump. The mainnet launch targets Q4 2025 – Q1 2026 as the release window, with a DAO and incentives for node operators and developers scheduled for 2026. On the presale side, Bitcoin Hyper has already raised more than $27.8M at a current token price around $0.013285, signalling heavy early demand for $BTC-centric infrastructure while Bitcoin itself is under pressure. Our price prediction for $HYPER has it eyeing $0.02595 in 2025 and $0.08625 by the end of 2026 if the team hits its milestones and listings arrive on schedule. That implies an upside of roughly 2x to 6x from the current presale level in bullish scenarios, if you invest today. You can read our guide on how to buy $HYPER today if you’re interested. Visit the presale page and purchase your $HYPER today. 2. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – High-Octane Meme Play On Post-Fear Volatility Maxi Doge ($MAXI) lives at the opposite end of the spectrum. It’s an Ethereum-based meme coin built around a gym-obsessed, 1000x-leverage Doge persona. The branding leans into degen culture: ‘max gainz’, sleepless trading, and a lifestyle vibe more than traditional ‘utility’. Under the memes, though, there is a clear token design. Presale numbers show that this pitch is landing. The Maxi Doge sale has already raised more than $4M at a token price around $0.0002685, with staking APYs currently at 76% for early participants. That combination of low unit price, strong marketing budget, and staking hook is exactly what tends to attract meme-coin hunters when markets flip from fear to greed again. From a death-cross perspective, Maxi Doge is a pure beta play. If Bitcoin stabilizes and follows its historical pattern of strong 2–3 month rebounds, capital could leak back into higher-risk corners of the market and $MAXI is ready. This project caters to traders who actively seek volatility, understand meme-coin risk, and treat staking rewards as a sweetener rather than a guarantee. Visit the presale page and buy your $MAXI today. 3. Solana ($SOL) – High-Throughput L1 With ETF Tailwinds Solana ($SOL) is the established name in this trio. It is a high-throughput Layer 1 that uses a proof-of-stake design plus unique time-ordering to support thousands of transactions per second with low fees. Over the last year, it has become the backbone for a huge chunk of DeFi, NFT, and meme-coin activity, and it has started to attract institutional interest as a candidate for spot ETFs. At the time of writing, $SOL trades around $142 with a market cap above $78B, sitting sixth in the crypto rankings. Solana spot ETFs have logged tens of millions of dollars in weekly inflows even as Bitcoin ETFs see outflows, which suggests some institutions are rotating down the risk curve into high-beta majors rather than leaving the asset class entirely. How does that intersect with Bitcoin’s death cross? Historically, when $BTC stabilizes after a sharp flush, strong Layer 1s with active ecosystems often rebound faster and harder than Bitcoin itself. Solana already demonstrated that dynamic when it briefly overtook $BNB in market cap during earlier stages of this cycle, and when rallies above $200 followed periods of consolidation. Solana trades on all major centralized exchanges, including Binance and Coinbase, and is accessible through most large wallets and DeFi protocols, which makes scaling exposure or taking profits much simpler than with presale tokens. Get your $SOL on Binance today. Recap: Bitcoin’s confirmed death cross has pushed sentiment back into ‘extreme fear’, but history suggests the pattern can still precede strong 2–3 month recoveries rather than immediate collapse. Against that backdrop, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Maxi Doge ($MAXI) and Solana ($SOL) represent three distinct ways to position: a $BTC-native Layer 2, a high-risk meme coin built for volatility, and a large-cap Layer 1 already attracting ETF flows. This is not financial advice. DYOR and manage risk wisely before investing.

Recap: Bitcoin’s confirmed death cross has pushed sentiment back into ‘extreme fear’, but history suggests the pattern can still precede strong 2–3 month recoveries rather than immediate collapse. Against that backdrop, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Maxi Doge ($MAXI) and Solana ($SOL) represent three distinct ways to position: a $BTC-native Layer 2, a high-risk meme coin built for volatility, and a large-cap Layer 1 already attracting ETF flows. This is not financial advice. DYOR and manage risk wisely before investing.

Figment Launches Institutional Stablecoin Staking Product With OpenTrade and Crypto.com
CryptoNews.comNov 17, 2025, 01:00 PM
Figment, a provider of institutional staking infrastructure overseeing $18 billion in assets under stake, announced it has partnered with OpenTrade to launch a new stablecoin yield product for institutional clients. The offering is custodied by Crypto.com and targets an annual return of roughly 15% on stablecoins, based on historical performance. This introduces a new approach that combines staking rewards with a hedging strategy designed to minimize price volatility.The product, OpenTrade Stablecoin Staking Yield Powered by Figment, is being marketed as an alternative to traditional DeFi lending markets, which have often been criticized for counterparty risk and smart contract vulnerabilities.Figment and OpenTrade say the product’s architecture will address concerns by operating within a segregated institution-friendly framework.New Structure for Stablecoin YieldThe yield mechanism is built on Solana staking rewards generated by a dedicated Figment validator. Those rewards are paired with an offsetting perpetual futures strategy managed by OpenTrade to neutralize directional exposure to the SOL price. According to the companies, this structure has historically delivered returns more than double Solana’s standard 6.5–7.5% staking rate, while maintaining liquidity for deposits and withdrawals.Crypto.com will serve as custodian and exchange partner for transactions. The company said the underlying SOL assets are held in fully segregated accounts, legally secured for investors and isolated from the exchange’s operational funds. Institutional customers can deposit and withdraw stablecoins through Figment’s application or APIs, with interest beginning to accrue immediately and no lockup periods. Demand for Institutional Stablecoin Yield ProductsThe launch comes as demand for stablecoin-based yield offerings continues to rise among exchanges, wallet providers, fintechs, and other digital asset companies seeking revenue opportunities that fall outside traditional crypto lending. Market participants have increasingly sought alternatives that avoid exposure to unsecured lending, liquidity-pool impermanence loss, or opaque DeFi structures.“Stablecoin Staking Yield is the result of efforts to create a product that offers higher returns along with stronger protections,” said Jeff Handler, co-founder and Chief Commercial Officer at OpenTrade.He explained that the product is designed to combine elements of staking and derivatives hedging to create an institutional yield option not available through existing RWA or DeFi strategies.Karl Turner, a director at Crypto.com, said the exchange’s infrastructure was designed to support evolving demand from institutional digital asset customers. “We are proud to support Figment in enabling a stablecoin staking offering that clients are increasingly looking for,” he said.Institutional PositioningFigment, which provides staking services to asset managers, custodians, exchanges, and other large token holders, said the product aligns with its approach of prioritizing security in validator operations. “We’re bringing our infrastructure and security mindset to stablecoins,” said Andy Cronk, co-founder and Chief Product Officer.The companies note that estimated 15% APR returns are variable and depend on market conditions. Figment stresses that it does not control or guarantee yield rates, which are determined by OpenTrade’s staking and hedging strategy.Figment, Apex Group to List Ethereum, Solana ETPsLast year, Figment Europe Ltd and Apex Group listed two new exchange-traded products (ETPs) on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

Digital Asset Products See $2B Outflows as 3-Week Rout Drains $3.2B
CryptoNews.comNov 17, 2025, 11:23 AM
Digital asset investment products suffered their heaviest weekly outflows since February, with $2 billion exiting the market last week. Key Takeaways: Digital asset products recorded $2 billion in weekly outflows, extending a three-week total to $3.2 billion. Analysts blamed the downturn on monetary policy uncertainty and heavy whale selling. Bitcoin and Ethereum products saw the largest withdrawals, while multi-asset funds attracted modest inflows. The sell-off marked the third consecutive week of withdrawals, bringing total outflows over the period to $3.2 billion, according to a Monday report from CoinShares.The slump follows sharp price declines across major cryptocurrencies, which have pushed total assets under management in digital asset ETPs down 27% from their early-October peak of $264 billion to $191 billion.Whale Selling and Fed Uncertainty Blamed for Crypto Market SlideAnalysts cited ongoing monetary policy uncertainty and aggressive selling from crypto-native whale wallets as the main drivers behind the downturn.The US accounted for the overwhelming share of outflows, with $1.97 billion leaving U.S.-based products.Switzerland and Hong Kong followed at a distance, recording $39.9 million and $12.3 million in outflows.Germany stood out as the lone bright spot, attracting $13.2 million in inflows as local investors treated the correction as a buying opportunity.Bitcoin products saw the largest withdrawals, shedding $1.38 billion last week, a three-week bleed equal to roughly 2% of total Bitcoin ETP assets under management.Ethereum fared even worse on a proportional basis, with $689 million in outflows representing 4% of its ETP market. Solana and XRP recorded smaller pullbacks of $8.3 million and $15.5 million.Despite the broader risk-off sentiment, multi-asset investment products attracted $69 million in inflows over the past three weeks as investors sought diversification.Short-Bitcoin ETPs also saw renewed interest as traders positioned defensively amid the ongoing correction. Last week, Bitcoin ETFs recorded $1.11 billion net outflows.

Now That Bitcoin is Facing a Real Test, What’s The Next Big Thing?

Bitcoin USD slid to $93,029 over the weekend, erasing every inch of this year’s progress and dragging the market back to where it stood on January 1.

Funding rates are deeply negative, open interest has collapsed by $4.8 billion in 48 hours, and spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded another $390 million outflow yesterday — pushing November’s total redemptions above $2.7 billion, the worst monthly figure on record. But is everything red? Not really: some altcoins like UNI and ASTER are shining as the best crypto to buy right now despite the broader market plunge. (Source: Coingecko) Ethereum followed suit, dropping under $3,100, Solana rejected $150 and now trades at $141, while XRP clings to $2.22. More than $1.1 billion in positions were wiped out in the past 24 hours, with 83% hitting over-leveraged longs. Long-term holders continue distributing at the fastest daily rate since the 2022 capitulation phase. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded another $390 million in net outflows on November 16, bringing the monthly total to $2.73 billion — the worst month since the products launched in 2024 and the second-largest monthly redemption ever. BlackRock’s IBIT alone saw $218 million leave yesterday, while Fidelity’s FBTC and ARK’s ARKB contributed $94 million and $61 million respectively. Grayscale’s GBTC continues to bleed, with $112 million out in the latest session.

Year-to-date, Bitcoin ETFs are still net positive by roughly $28 billion, but the pace of inflows has completely reversed since mid-October.

Further to this, it also plans to introduce a new taxation regime for this sector as part of its crypto reform process. According to an article published by a local media, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) wants to reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), under the FIEA, effectively putting crypto under the same umbrella as stocks and bonds. This expansion of the regulatory umbrella onto crypto aims to ensure that the sector falls under investor protection rules and is held up to a higher standard.

Three mid-cap tokens, Starknet’s STRK, Dash (DASH), and Telcoin (TEL) posted sharp gains over the past 24 hours. They moved ahead of Bitcoin and Ethereum on November 16, as traders shifted into smaller assets with fresh triggers. That contrast has prompted traders to question whether these pockets of strength signal a genuine trend or if they are merely brief bursts driven by thin liquidity. Most major tokens showed little movement during the same period. Global market value hovered between $3.25 trillion and $3.27 trillion, down about -0.2% to -0.6% on the day. Trading volumes also cooled while the Crypto Fear & Greed Index printed 9 out of 100, a level that signals heavy caution.

According to an article published by a local media, Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) wants to reclassify 105 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), under the FIEA, effectively putting crypto under the same umbrella as stocks and bonds. This expansion of the regulatory umbrella onto crypto aims to ensure that the sector falls under investor protection rules and is held up to a higher standard.

Trump Drops 500% Tariff Shockwave, Crypto Trembles — Bitcoin Breakdown Ahead?
NewsBTCNov 17, 2025, 10:30 AM
US President Donald Trump on Friday voiced support for a Senate measure that would let the US impose tariffs of up to 500% on imports from nations still buying Russian energy. “It would be okay with me,” he said. Based on reports, the proposal names oil, natural gas, petroleum products and uranium as covered goods and highlights major buyers such as India and China. The move is described as a tool meant to squeeze Russia’s export revenues, but the measure remains proposed and has not become law. Tariffs Up To 500% On Energy Imports Reports have disclosed that the bill would give the President authority to slap punitive duties — as high as 500% — on goods coming from any country judged to be materially trading in Russian energy. JUST IN: President Trump approves bill allowing 500% tariffs on countries trading with Russia. pic.twitter.com/qaBKVUMwTN — BRICS News (@BRICSinfo) November 17, 2025 Lawmakers behind the text say the measure targets energy purchases that help fund Moscow. How the tariff would be applied, and the exact list of goods and exceptions, is still being worked out in committee. Legal experts warn that a 500% duty would raise immediate questions about trade rules and possible retaliation. Immediate Shock To Risk Assets Markets reacted fast. Crypto traders moved to the exits in the first hours after the news, pushing volatility up across major tokens. Nearly $620 million in crypto positions were liquidated in 24 hours, forcing over 152,000 traders out, with a single $30 million BTC-USD order on Hyperliquid being the largest hit. Major altcoins like XRP, Solana, and Cardano saw sharp swings, and Ethereum dropped toward the $3,000 level. Bitcoin took a 1% hit following the news. In the last week, BTC has lost close to 10% of its value since hitting an all-time high of $126k on October 6, 2025. The crypto market is highly sensitive to geopolitical trade shocks. Analysts warn that a proposed 500% tariff on countries trading with Russia—significantly higher than past rates that caused a $200 billion wipeout—could trigger severe panic selling. Analysts believe that if the large-scale tariff is brought into effect, its short-term effect could decrease Bitcoin and major altcoins’ prices by 10% to 20% due to increased economic uncertainty and panic. Wider Economic Ripples And Energy Prices If the tariffs were ever applied, energy flows would be disrupted. That could push crude and gas prices higher, and higher energy costs usually feed into inflation. Central banks might respond by holding rates higher for longer, which can hurt risk assets including crypto. Yet, history shows that once a new price regime takes hold, people sometimes seek alternatives to cash and bank deposits. That dynamic is part of why crypto markets are watching this proposal so closely. Featured image from David Hume Kennerly/Getty Images, chart from TradingView

Aster Launches Stage 4 Airdrop and $10M Trading Competition to Accelerate Ecosystem Growth
CryptoPotatoNov 17, 2025, 10:07 AM
[PRESS RELEASE – George Town, British Virgin Islands, November 17th, 2025] Aster, a decentralized perpetual exchange, is entering a phase of rapid expansion. Following the strong performance of Stage 3, the platform has rolled out the Stage 4 (Harvest) airdrop program and will launch the “Double Harvest” trading competition on November 17 with a total reward pool of $10 million. At the same time, Aster continues to scale its early-asset product Rocket Launch, expanding the pipeline of new token activities. These incentive tracks run in parallel, enabling users to earn multiple rewards from the same trading activity, substantially increasing platform engagement and trading depth. The Stage 4 reward pool represents 1.5% of the total $ASTER supply (approximately 120,000,000 $ASTER tokens), distributed evenly across six weekly Epochs. Running concurrently, the $10 million “Double Harvest” competition features five independent weekly leaderboards, allowing users to earn both airdrop rewards and competition rewards from identical trading behavior. Rocket Launch Shows Strong Traction, Emerging as a Key Growth Engine Beyond the airdrop and trading competition, Aster Rocket Launch continues to gain momentum. The product is designed to accelerate early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity. Within its first month, the platform launched 5 new token campaigns, with a cumulative reward pool of more than $3 million. This highlights the growing market demand for early-stage liquidity and ignition mechanisms. Rocket Launch is quickly becoming a gateway for new projects to attract initial liquidity and users, while simultaneously evolving into a major driver of Aster’s broader ecosystem growth. Advancing Infrastructure: Building an On-Chain Order-Book Layer-1 Alongside short-term incentive programs, Aster is accelerating progress on its long-term infrastructure roadmap. During a recent official AMA, the team revealed active development of a high-performance, optionally private on-chain order-book Layer-1, designed to process order placement, matching, and cancellation directly at the protocol layer. The goal is to recreate a CEX-like trading experience fully on-chain—combining transparency, self-custody, and privacy with high-speed execution. Internal testing and an initial public testnet are planned for late 2025, with mainnet launch targeted for Q1 2026. On the product side, Aster will further expand $ASTER’s utility over the next two quarters, including staking, governance, fee discounts, VIP tier benefits, airdrop eligibility, and yield-enhanced integrations with DeFi protocols. The platform has also introduced gold and index perpetuals and plans to broaden its lineup of commodities and equity-related instruments, while deepening integrations with Trust Wallet, Safepal, Math Wallet, Lista DAO, and other ecosystem partners. Expanding Global Presence and Industry Influence Aster’s international visibility also continues to grow. CEO Leonard recently spoke at Binance Campus APAC in Korea, presenting the platform’s infrastructure plans to regional industry leaders. Aster is also set to participate in Binance Blockchain Week in Dubai this December, further strengthening its global footprint. With multi-track incentives, an expanding product ecosystem, and ongoing investment in foundational infrastructure, Aster is shaping a steeper growth curve heading into 2026. The platform is advancing toward a hybrid model built on “on-chain order-book infrastructure + incentive-driven growth”, aiming to secure a larger share of the competitive decentralized trading market and build the next generation of decentralized trading infrastructure and global ecosystem. About Aster Aster is a next-generation decentralized exchange offering both Perpetual and Spot trading, designed as a one-stop onchain venue for global crypto traders. It features MEV-free, one-click execution in 1001x Mode. Perpetual Mode adds 24/7 stock Perpetuals, Hidden Orders, and grid trading, available across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum. Its unique edge lies in the ability to use liquid-staking tokens (asBNB) or yield-generating stablecoins (USDF) as collateral, unlocking unparalleled capital efficiency. Backed by YZi Labs, Aster is building the future of DeFi: fast, flexible, and community-first. More information is available on the official Aster website or on Aster’s X account.

Why XRP Tundra’s Price of $10 Suddenly Might Not Sound Crazy After This Week’s ETF Launch
CryptoPotatoNov 16, 2025, 05:00 PM
The launch of Canary Capital’s spot XRP ETF has altered the market’s expectations for the entire XRP ecosystem. XRPC debuted with $59 million in first-day volume, making it the biggest ETF launch of the year and surpassing Bitwise’s BSOL debut. Within hours, analysts began reevaluating where the XRP market could realistically move over the next several years — and why $10 projections are no longer viewed as speculative fantasy. This shift doesn’t just affect XRP itself. For emerging ecosystems built directly on or aligned with XRPL architecture, such as XRP Tundra, the implications are broader. A payments-focused blockchain attracting institutional capital at this rate changes how investors assess long-term value across the entire XRPL-linked landscape. ETF Demand Shows Institutions Are Now Treating XRP as a Payments Rail, Not a Speculative Token XRPC’s performance didn’t just exceed expectations — it reset them. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted that out of more than 900 ETF launches this year, none matched the opening demand for XRP. The volume even edged out Bitwise’s BSOL, a major benchmark for early digital-asset ETF adoption. This matters because institutional volume behaves differently from retail trading. Funds entering through an XRP ETF are participating in the network not for volatility swings but for its underlying payment-rail functionality. Canary Capital CIO McClurg emphasized this point clearly in an interview with Crypto Prime, arguing that XRP is fundamentally unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum. Rather than competing as a store of value or smart-contract platform, the XRP Ledger acts as a global settlement layer for fast, low-cost transactions. If the market begins valuing XRP the way traditional finance values settlement infrastructure — like SWIFT alternatives or cross-border payment networks — demand expands far beyond speculative cycles. That shift directly benefits secondary ecosystems built on XRPL reliability. Price Models Now Push XRP Into a Higher Long-Term Range McClurg rejected extreme community forecasts of $1,000 or higher, but he did emphasize that $10 is entirely achievable within three to four years. The logic is straightforward: XRP replacing even a fraction of global remittance volume — where workers currently pay 8%–15% in fees — radically increases utility-driven demand. The payments market is not theoretical; it is an existing multi-trillion-dollar sector with real cost inefficiencies. Near-instant transfers and low fees give the XRP Ledger a measurable advantage, especially in emerging markets. Reaching Bitcoin’s approximate $2 trillion market cap would place XRP near $35, a scenario requiring extensive adoption. But institutional ETF inflows now create a bridge toward sustained, utility-driven appreciation — something the market lacked until this week. For XRPL-aligned ecosystems, this shift introduces a new pricing dynamic: projects no longer rely solely on speculative presale cycles but benefit from a network whose institutional adoption curve is strengthening in real time. XRP Tundra Gains Attention as Investors Look Toward XRPL Ecosystem The ETF launch has intensified interest in alternative XRPL-focused projects, especially those offering clear mechanics and cross-chain infrastructure. XRP Tundra fits that profile. It operates across the XRP Ledger and Solana, giving it access to XRPL’s payment settlement logic while leveraging Solana’s execution capabilities. For investors looking at ecosystems rather than individual tokens, this dual-chain design provides diversification without leaving the XRP framework. For those researching whether XRP Tundra is legit, they can check the following article. The project publishes its audits, KYC verification and contract transparency — a critical point for those tracking XRPL activity after the ETF launch. Investors are now evaluating the ecosystem with the same due-diligence standards applied to traditional financial assets. Structural Advantages: Why XRP Tundra Appeals to Post-ETF Capital Flows XRP Tundra’s dual-token model is increasingly relevant in the new institutional environment. TUNDRA-S (Solana) handles ecosystem utility and, upon Cryo Vault activation, yield generation. TUNDRA-X (XRPL) serves governance and reserve functions. This separation resembles the architecture institutions favor — utility segregated from oversight — rather than the single-token models that often suffer post-launch volatility. Presale participation also remains accessible, currently in Phase 11, where TUNDRA-S is $0.183 with a 9% bonus, and buyers receive TUNDRA-X for free at its $0.0915 reference value. With XRP’s long-term outlook strengthening, interest in secondary XRPL-backed ecosystems is rising accordingly. Institutional commentary around ecosystem expansion has appeared across analysis channels, including a recent breakdown by Crypto League. The coverage emphasized that projects offering traceable token roles and verifiable infrastructure tend to benefit most when major inflows arrive through ETF vehicles. Verification Standards Now Matter More Than Ever Institutional sentiment toward XRP has changed, but institutional requirements have not. Compliance, documentation and auditability remain central. XRP Tundra maintains a verification trail through: Cyberscope Solidproof FreshCoins Vital Block KYC As more institutional capital flows toward XRPL, projects with transparent architecture will be first in line for attention. The ETF launch significantly accelerates that process. With XRP now validated in a way the market has never seen before, forecasts that once sounded far-fetched are receiving fresh scrutiny. And for ecosystems aligned with the same technology, such as XRP Tundra, the environment has shifted dramatically in their favor. Interested investors can secure their Phase 11 allocation as XRP’s institutional demand sets a new baseline for XRPL-linked ecosystems.

Crypto Asia News Week: Taiwan Eyes BTC Reserves, Japan Mulls Exchange Rules, Tether Joins Crackdown
99bitcoinsNov 16, 2025, 11:13 AM
Another week, another crypto Asia news update. Let’s be real, this one’s more maintenance than the headline-grabbing structural reforms that we have come to expect of the Asian crypto landscape. This is bound to happen as countries build on the structural changes regarding crypto that they have recently implemented, fine-tuning what’s already in place. It’s less about re-inventing the wheel now and more about tightening the bolts on the framework that is already in place. Nonetheless, here are some of the bigger headlines from this week. Japan Stock Exchange Considers Limiting Crypto Holdings By Companies The Japanese stock exchange, JPX, is considering new rules to somewhat temper the rise of crypto-heavy companies. These companies, known as Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) companies, have been purchasing large amounts of BTC and a variety of other cryptocurrencies. But the recent market downturn has led to major losses for everyday investors, prompting this new development. JPX hasn’t decided on this matter yet. However, it is considering tougher rules, such as requiring companies to undergo new audits or imposing stricter restrictions on backdoor listings. A backdoor listing is basically when a company becomes publicly traded by merging with an existing listed firm, skipping the usual IPO process. JPX already bans this practice and is now thinking about extending that ban to companies that suddenly shift their business focus to crypto.

Currently, ETH is trading at , about 36% below its ATH of $4,950, signalling that ETH is deep in bear market territory. ETH’s price action has been forming a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, which is a classic sign that any attempt at an upward movement is being beaten down by the bears. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Over the past couple of months, its price action has broken through key support levels. It fell below $4,100, which was its peak last December. From there, it fell further to under $4000, another major support and an emotional threshold. As of right now, ETH is trading below its 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). (Source: TradingView) Looking ahead, ETH is leaning bearish. The next level to watch out for is $2,877, a price it reached last June. However, if ETH somehow manages to climb above $3,500, its key resistance level, it would challenge the current bearish outlook. Adding to the negative pressure is the turning of investor behaviour. Data from SoSoValue reveals that American investors have been pulling money out of ETH ETFs. Last week alone, these funds lost over $728 M, a step-up from the $522M they shed a week before. $ETH ETF outflow of $177,900,000 yesterday.

Currently, ETH is trading at , about 36% below its ATH of $4,950, signalling that ETH is deep in bear market territory. ETH’s price action has been forming a pattern of lower highs and lower lows, which is a classic sign that any attempt at an upward movement is being beaten down by the bears. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Over the past couple of months, its price action has broken through key support levels. It fell below $4,100, which was its peak last December. From there, it fell further to under $4000, another major support and an emotional threshold. As of right now, ETH is trading below its 20 and 50-day exponential moving averages (EMAs). (Source: TradingView) Looking ahead, ETH is leaning bearish. The next level to watch out for is $2,877, a price it reached last June. However, if ETH somehow manages to climb above $3,500, its key resistance level, it would challenge the current bearish outlook. Adding to the negative pressure is the turning of investor behaviour. Data from SoSoValue reveals that American investors have been pulling money out of ETH ETFs. Last week alone, these funds lost over $728 M, a step-up from the $522M they shed a week before. $ETH ETF outflow of $177,900,000 yesterday.

Did Binance Just Checkmate Institutional Capital? BUIDL Crypto Goes Live as Binance Collateral

A new share class of the fund also went live on BNB Chain on Friday.

The exchange says demand has been building for months. “Our institutional clients have asked for more interest-bearing stable assets they can hold as collateral while actively trading on our exchange,” said Catherine Chen, who leads the VIP and Institutional division at Binance.

BUIDL is BlackRock’s on-chain institutional liquidity fund. It launched in March 2024 as the firm’s first tokenized product on a public blockchain and is issued through Securitize. The change allows VIP and institutional clients to keep their BUIDL tokens with a regulated bank or with Ceffu, and still get trading credit on Binance.

A few assets bucked the trend, with ZEC up 3% and LEO up 1% among top movers. Bitcoin miners and crypto-related equities were hit as well, including declines in MicroStrategy (-7%), Coinbase (-7%), and Robinhood (-9%). Market sentiment remained deeply negative, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index holding in Extreme Fear at 16. In more positive news, JPMorgan analysts turned bullish on Circle, upgrading the stock to Overweight and raising their price target on expectations of faster USDC and stablecoin growth; Cathie Wood’s ARK added $30 million in shares. Jack Dorsey’s Cash App announced that stablecoin payments on Solana and other networks are planned for early 2026. Separately, reports surfaced that China state-backed hackers allegedly used Anthropic’s Claude Code to assist in a major cyberattack affecting roughly 30 companies. Additional disclosures revealed Epstein estate emails referencing Bitcoin discussions between Brock Pierce and Larry Summers at Jeffrey Epstein’s Manhattan townhouse. Meanwhile, Emory University doubled its Bitcoin holdings in Grayscale’s BTC Trust, bringing its total to $52 million.

Risk appetite has vanished from broader markets. The Nasdaq-100 fell 2.05%, the S&P 500 declined 1.66%, and even gold showed weakness as recession worries grow. A temporary U.S. government shutdown resolution sparked short-lived optimism, but profit-taking quickly followed. Delayed October CPI data and weak job reports (ADP showed -11,250 jobs per week) have cut the chances of a December Fed rate cut to below 50%, dampening hopes for easier money.

On-chain data shows clear signs of surrender: The Crypto Fear & Greed Index dropped to “Extreme Fear” at 15, the lowest since February. Retail mood has soured, and MVRV ratios point to overvaluation. The sentiment on CT (crypto Twitter) can be summarised as: hot inflation, Fed uncertainty, and peak leverage manipulation.

RSI sits at 40.07, neutral but with fading volume that limits quick recovery hopes. Still, some metrics offer hope. Exchange outflows reached record levels, and institutions have accumulated 4 million BTC this year—over 20% of total supply.

By accepting cryptocurrency payments, Invictus Pharmacy is also embracing the next generation of American consumers who are more comfortable and familiar with digital assets and alternative payment methods. This forward-looking approach reflects Invictus’s commitment to modernizing the pharmacy experience, meeting patients where they are, and fostering financial accessibility through innovation. By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, Invictus aims to eliminate the administrative lag and opacity that define today’s pharmacy benefit model, replacing it with a real-time, programmable payment system that benefits every stakeholder in the chain. “Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs) were invented before the era of the internet to combat rising drug prices in the 1970s,” said Meyer Davidoff, Founder and CEO of Invictus Pharmacy. “While their original purpose was to negotiate fair pricing and streamline reimbursements, PBMs have since evolved into powerful intermediaries that obscure true drug costs, delay payments to pharmacies, and inflate prices for patients. The system has become a labyrinth of rebates, clawbacks, and opaque contracts that benefit middlemen rather than patients or providers. Today, PBMs act as central toll collectors in a system that should be moving toward openness and modern technology. Accepting cryptocurrency is more than offering another way to pay. It is the first step toward building a faster and more transparent payment network that links patients, pharmacies, and manufacturers with far fewer barriers. This is the future of pharmacy, a system where information and payments move quickly, clearly, and efficiently for everyone.” “For our patients, using cryptocurrency will feel just as simple as paying with a smartphone or credit card,” said Alan Oustaev, Chief Operating Officer of Invictus Pharmacy. “Our goal is to make the experience seamless both in-store and online, giving patients more choice and convenience while we modernize how prescription payments are made.” An Open Call to Industry Partners Invictus Pharmacy Founder and CEO Meyer Davidoff is encouraging trading partners throughout the pharmaceutical supply chain, including drug manufacturers, wholesalers, and payers, to begin adding cryptocurrency to their balance sheets and to explore digital asset integration within their financial infrastructure. “This is the first step of our grand vision to revolutionize the archaic payment system within our industry,” said Davidoff. “We are actively building an additional blockchain-based payment rail upon which all stakeholders, from manufacturers to patients, will transact seamlessly and transparently.” This forthcoming network, being developed under Invictus Ventures, will serve as a digital settlement layer for prescription transactions, enabling instant fund transfers, automated rebate validation, and frictionless reimbursement flows. Once fully deployed, the system is expected to reduce claim processing times from weeks to seconds, setting a new benchmark for efficiency in U.S. healthcare payments. About Invictus Pharmacy Invictus Pharmacy, managed by New York–based Invictus Ventures Inc., is a vertically integrated, nationwide pharmacy platform founded in 2017. With a network of retail locations, a licensed mail-order pharmacy, a proprietary e-commerce platform, and claims adjudication technology, Invictus has served more than one million patients.

Disrupting pharmacy payments with ETH, SOL, and XRP acceptance nationwide; online rollout set for Jan. 1, 2026. NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Invictus Pharmacy, a pharmacist-founded and nationally licensed pharmacy network, announced today that it will begin accepting cryptocurrency as a form of payment from patients. This milestone makes Invictus Pharmacy the first nationwide licensed pharmacy to embrace digital assets as part of its patient payment infrastructure. Beginning immediately, cryptocurrency payments including Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and XRP (Ripple) will be accepted at all Invictus Pharmacy retail locations. Starting January 1, 2026, patients will also be able to utilize these digital payment options through the company’s online platform at InvictusPharmacy.com. Key Benefits of Invictus Pharmacy’s acceptance of cryptocurrency include: Enhanced Security: Blockchain technology provides a secure and transparent platform for all transactions, reducing the risk of fraud. Faster Transactions: Cryptocurrency transactions are typically faster than traditional payment methods, allowing for quicker processing of prescriptions. Increased Accessibility: Accepting cryptocurrency opens up access to pharmaceutical services for younger demographics who prefer or are comfortable using digital currencies. Transparency: Every transaction is recorded on the blockchain, creating a transparent and auditable trail. Pioneering Transparency in the Pharmaceutical Payment System This initiative represents the first phase of a larger technological movement led by Invictus Ventures Inc., the management company of Invictus Pharmacy. Invictus Ventures is developing a blockchain-based payment infrastructure designed specifically for the U.S. prescription drug market. The platform will facilitate instant, transparent, and auditable transactions between payers, manufacturers, pharmacies, and patients.

Where is Crypto going! Crypto enters Extreme Fear! ZEC keeps going UP!
DecryptNov 04, 2025, 06:16 PM
Crypto majors continued their decline, dropping another 3–8% as the selloff persisted. Bitcoin (BTC) fell 3% to $104,500, Ethereum (ETH) dropped 5% to $3,520, Binance Coin (BNB) slid 6% to $955, and Solana (SOL) plunged 8% to $162. Meanwhile, Decred (DCR) surged 111%, Dash (DASH) climbed 50%, and Internet Computer (ICP) gained 30%, leading the day’s top movers. Liquidations totaled over $1.2 billion on Monday, with long positions accounting for 90% of the losses, and the Crypto Fear & Greed Index slipped into “Extreme Fear.” Balancer suffered a $128 million exploit following a so-called “vibe-coded” hack, prompting Berachain to halt its chain amid cascading pool drains across Ethereum and linked networks. In industry developments, Hollywood.com announced plans for an entertainment-focused prediction market in partnership with Crypto.com, while Ripple launched prime brokerage services for digital assets in the U.S. Strategy revealed plans to issue 3.5 million shares of its 10% Series A Perpetual Stream Preferred Stock ($STRE), with proceeds earmarked for Bitcoin purchases. Elsewhere, U.S. prosecutors are pursuing the maximum five-year sentence against the founders of Samurai Wallet, and the FTSE Russell announced it will publish its global equity, FX, and digital asset market index data directly on the blockchain via Chainlink.
