Aptos stablecoin cap passes Ethereum: So why is APT’s price declining?

Despite Aptos's (APT) increase in liquidity due to a significant rise in stablecoin supply, the price of APT remained on a downward trend, showing an approximately 11% drop over the past week. The notable growth in stablecoin supply, which expanded over five times in the past year, positioned Aptos ahead of major blockchain networks like the BNB Chain and Ethereum in terms of stablecoin circulation in the preceding 24 hours. The blockchain managed to attract over $500 million in stablecoin supply changes, outpacing the BNB Chain's just over $400 million and Ethereum's $200 million change.

Solana bleeds 30% in Q4, yet institutions buy more – What are they seeing?

In the fourth quarter, the cryptocurrency Solana (SOL) experienced substantial losses, declining by 30%, which positioned it as the worst-performing top-cap altcoin. Distressingly, Solana’s peak in mid-September at $253 came earlier than the broader altcoin market's retest of highs in early October, showing vulnerability even before the market downturn. Following the October crash, panic ensued, and SOL's inability to recover previous highs as support signaled a bearish trend.

XRP falls 16% from recent peak as 35% of supply turns unprofitable

XRP, the cryptocurrency, has experienced a decline of 16.17% from its recent high of $2.60, dropping to $2.1551 at last report. This downturn is striking given its contrast to the historic introduction of spot XRP ETFs on November 14, which was anticipated to boost the digital currency's market presence. Despite this innovative financial product offering direct exposure to XRP, the asset's value failed to gain traction.

Shiba Inu: Will burn surge and Japan approval push SHIB toward a full recovery?

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a prominent cryptocurrency, has shown signs of an early recovery, driven by various factors in the digital asset market. Notably, the intense on-chain activity, including a significant reduction of SHIB in circulation due to community burns, has created a supply-shock situation that could potentially lead to increased market prices. Over the past week, the SHIB community participated actively in burning tokens, resulting in the elimination of 831 million SHIB from the market. This action has the effect of tightening the available liquid supply, thus creating better conditions for upward volatility, especially when the market begins to stabilize.

Bitcoin: Is a drop below $90K bound to happen in November?

Bitcoin has recently experienced a significant pullback, leading to concerns that its price may drop below $90,000. This downward movement follows a week where Bitcoin plunged 10.6%, breaking through critical support zones and retesting the $92,000 floor for the first time since early Q2. The overarching bearish sentiment, marked by extreme fear among investors, coincides with a notable increase in exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows, which have surged to $2.3 billion mid-month. Should the selling pressure maintain its course, ETF outflows could reach a historical peak, amplifying bearish narratives around Bitcoin.

ETF analyst predicts Grayscale Dogecoin ETF launch in a week

An ETF analyst has projected that Grayscale might launch its Dogecoin ETF, referred to as GDOG, in about a week's time. This speculation is based on the company's filing of an S-1 registration statement in August 2025, which signals their intention to convert the private Dogecoin Trust into a publicly traded ETF. Despite the lack of an exchange announcement or a formal SEC approval timeline, the anticipation is guided by the pattern Grayscale has shown with previous cryptocurrency financial products.

Bitcoin distribution pressure eases as 100K BTC exit exchanges amid price correction

During the recent market downturn in late 2025, Bitcoin experienced a significant decline, coupled with a notable shift in holder behavior from selling to accumulation. Approximately 100,000 to 120,000 BTC were withdrawn from cryptocurrency exchanges in October and November, indicating one of the heaviest waves of Bitcoin moving off exchanges for potential long-term storage. This pattern was observed during a 27% price correction, where Bitcoin's value fell from its peak at around $127,500 to $93,248.

Bitwise CEO says Bitcoin’s 4-cycle will break – ‘2026 is open season’

Bitcoin (BTC), a leading cryptocurrency, has typically followed a four-year cycle, anchored by its halving events which historically have contributed to market surges. However, recent market dynamics have called this pattern into question, as BTC dropped below the 365-day Daily Moving Average without the usual warning signs indicating a market peak or upcoming bear phase. The long-standing cycle theory now faces scrutiny, as market analysts and industry leaders suggest the cycle might be evolving or even breaking due to changes in market players and behaviors.

It was initiated with a $10 million seed capital and will track the MarketVector Solana Benchmark Rate for daily pricing, with State Street Bank as the administrator and Gemini Trust Company alongside Coinbase Custody overseeing custody duties. Part of VSOL's holdings will be staked to earn rewards, which will be reflected in its net asset value.

Bitcoin: STHs forced to sell 65K BTC in a day, but all’s not lost

Bitcoin has experienced one of its most significant downturns recently, with its value dropping below the year's opening price level, causing concern among investors. The sell-off in Bitcoin has been attributed mainly to two categories of holders: the long-term holders (LTHs) and the short-term holders (STHs). The LTHs, characterized by holding onto their Bitcoin for periods longer than six months, have unloaded a substantial amount at an average profit of 173%. In the past 30 days alone, they sold around 350,000 BTC, which was valued at approximately $33.49 billion at the time of the report. This sell-off by the LTHs has led to significant amounts of Bitcoin entering the market, with the liquidity absorption being spearheaded mostly by the STHs, who typically hold Bitcoin for shorter periods.

Cardano whale loses 90% ADA after conversion to an illiquid stablecoin 

Recently, a significant loss befell a Cardano ADA holder who became an example of the risks inherent in trading with low liquidity assets. This holder, described as a "whale" due to the large amount of ADA they managed, performed a transaction that ended in a substantial financial setback. They attempted to swap 14.4 million ADA tokens, valued at $6.9 million, for USDA, a lesser-known USD-backed stablecoin on the Cardano blockchain. However, the result of the transaction was an unexpected and alarming $6.05 million loss — about 90% less than the original ADA value. This massive devaluation was attributed to insufficient liquidity of the stablecoin they were trying to acquire.

His divestment included a wide array of altcoins, with the largest sales being his Ethereum holdings, where he sold approximately $2.48 million. This was followed by liquidating $1.38 million in Ethena and $480,000 in Lido DAO. In addition to these, Hayes also decreased his stakes in Aave, Uniswap, and ether.fi, with transactions routed through FalconX and Wintermute.

Bitcoin: November 2025 turns historic – For all the wrong reasons

Bitcoin has been experiencing substantial outflows from exchange-traded funds (ETFs), with the second-largest outflow recorded in 2025 at $2.33 billion halfway through November. This trend could lead to a new outflow record if it persists for the remainder of the month, surpassing the nearly $4 billion outflow observed in February of the same year. After dropping below the $100,000 threshold, Bitcoin is now trading within a "discount zone," potentially setting the stage for the outflows to reverse.

John Deaton slams ex-SEC official over claim that token buybacks count as securities

The ongoing debate around cryptocurrency regulation took a notable turn with comments from Armanda Fischer, a former SEC Chief of Staff, who suggested that token buybacks through DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) like Uniswap could be classified as securities transactions. This assertion is grounded in SEC guidance from 2017. Fischer also mentioned that the cryptocurrency market structure legislation being considered by Congress, supported by major crypto stakeholders, would likely exclude provisions for token dividends or buybacks.
