Sen. Cynthia Lummis says a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve can help tackle the US’ swelling debt load, calling it the only path that meaningfully offsets the burden. She praised President Trump and his team for embracing the idea and said she is eager to see it through to the finish line.In remarks this week, Lummis said she believes the reserve would grow in value over time and act as a balance sheet counterweight. She added that the administration is considering structures beyond revaluing gold certificates and swapping them for Bitcoin, noting that the Treasury and the White House are reviewing options.Officials Reviewing Alternatives to Gold Revaluation for Bitcoin Reserve Setup: LummisIn a recent Bloomberg interview, Lummis said officials are exploring ways to establish a reserve without relying solely on gold revaluation. She said Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and White House staff are working through those details and that she welcomes their support for a strategic reserve built around Bitcoin. I truly believe the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is the only solution to offset our national debt.I applaud @POTUS and his administration for embracing the SBR, and I look forward to getting it done. pic.twitter.com/e24NBOJ3v0— Senator Cynthia Lummis (@SenLummis) November 5, 2025 The senator has signaled urgency. Last month, she said the buying framework for a reserve could begin at any time and credited President Trump for creating the conditions to move quickly. She described the legislative process as slow, but said the funding mechanism does not have to wait.No New Spending Planned as Bitcoin Reserve to Draw From Seized AssetsQuestions remain about financing. Lummis has not outlined a comprehensive plan for how the government would capitalize the reserve. However, the administration’s March fact sheet said the reserve would start with Bitcoin already controlled by the Treasury through criminal or civil forfeitures.That base has since grown substantially. Following the record-breaking forfeiture of nearly 130,000 BTC tied to criminal cases, US Bitcoin reserves have climbed to over $34b at current prices, giving the government one of the largest known sovereign holdings globally.The fact sheet also said additional Bitcoin could be added through budget-neutral strategies that avoid new taxpayer costs. That approach aligns with guidance from the Treasury in August, when Secretary Bessent said the government would not purchase Bitcoin outright for the reserve and would instead rely on confiscated assets as the initial store of value.Lummis endorsed that view at the time, calling a budget-neutral path the right way forward. She also suggested that revaluing the nation’s gold holdings to current market prices and transferring the uplift could help build the reserve.Policy Momentum Builds as Washington Weighs Bitcoin’s Role in National StrategyMomentum has grown in policy circles since March, when President Trump signed an executive order to establish the reserve. The directive sparked speculation that government wallets could begin to accumulate Bitcoin more visibly in the months ahead.Market strategists see a policy arc forming. Galaxy Digital’s head of research Alex Thorn said the US could formalize the reserve framework before the end of 2025, pointing to broader bipartisan recognition of Bitcoin as both a store of value and a financial asset.Supporters argue a reserve could diversify sovereign assets and provide an inflation-resilient buffer. Critics will want clearer guardrails, including custody, transparency and rules for drawdowns, before any large-scale accumulation proceeds.The post US Bitcoin Reserve Is ‘Only Solution’ to Offset National Debt: Sen.

Shiba Inu has been added to the FTSE Grayscale Crypto Sectors Framework, a move that gives the meme coin fresh institutional recognition. Marketing lead Lucie announced the development on X with a post titled “Good News for SHIB Holders.” According to the listing, SHIB joins the Consumer & Culture sector alongside Dogecoin, identifying it as a token tied to community, culture, and entertainment. Good news for SHIB holders Grayscale’s Market Byte Here Come the Altcoins from October 2025 officially lists Shiba Inu SHIB under the Consumer & Culture crypto sector in the FTSE Grayscale Crypto Sectors framework. SHIB is recognized by Grayscale Investments and FTSE Russell as… pic.twitter.com/8jBpKkP9PL — 𝐋𝐔𝐂𝐈𝐄 (@LucieSHIB) November 2, 2025 Inclusion Signals Institutional Recognition Based on reports, the FTSE–Grayscale framework was launched in 2023 to sort crypto assets into clearer groups for investors. The framework covers five niches, and Grayscale’s latest report lists SHIB among the assets that meet the SEC’s Generic Listing Standards (GLS) criteria. The GLS rules, approved in September, let exchanges list crypto ETPs under a set of generic requirements rather than seeking individual sign-off for each token. That opens the door for more straightforward pathways to spot ETPs, although a token still needs an effective registration statement to trade as an ETF. Shiba Inu Among A Few Eligible Tokens Reports have disclosed that at least 11 cryptocurrencies across four sectors meet the GLS thresholds. In the Currencies sector, XRP, Litecoin, Stellar, and Bitcoin Cash are named. Smart contract platforms that qualify include Polkadot, Cardano, Solana, and Avalanche. Chainlink stands alone in Utilities & Services. In consumer and culture, only Shiba Inu and Dogecoin are recognized. Solana and Litecoin ETFs are already trading in the US, while Cardano, XRP, Dogecoin, and Bitcoin Cash are still awaiting approvals. Valour Inc. has issued a SEK-denominated ETP tied to SHIB in Europe, and asset manager T. Rowe Price has mentioned SHIB as a candidate for inclusion in its Active Crypto ETF, but SHIB does not yet have a standalone spot ETF filing in the US. Market Moves And Technical Notes Meanwhile, SHIB’s price action has been mixed. Based on market data cited by analysts, the token fell by over 6% in the past 24 hours and has experienced about 13% and 30% corrections in the last week and month, respectively. Those moves have pushed SHIB down to 34th in the crypto market cap rankings. TradingView commentator “Akbarkarimzsfeh” flagged a long-term support trendline that has in past cycles preceded sharp rebounds. The analyst argued that dips to that area have been followed by rapid rallies, suggesting the current pullback may be temporary. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Arthur Hayes argues that the next leg of the crypto cycle will be driven not by a headline pivot to quantitative easing, but by a “stealth” version executed through the Federal Reserve’s Standing Repo Facility (SRF). In a new essay titled “Hallelujah” published on November 4, 2025, the former BitMEX CEO lays out a balance-sheet-driven case that persistent US fiscal deficits, hedge-fund demand for Treasuries financed via repo, and the Fed’s need to cap funding stress will translate into incremental dollar liquidity that ultimately “pumps the price of Bitcoin and other cryptos.” As he frames the core mechanism: “Government issued debt grows the money supply.” Hayes’ logic chain begins with an observation on political incentives and the arithmetic of public finance. Governments can fund spending with “savings or debt,” and in his view elected officials “will always favor borrowing from the future to get re-elected in the present.” For the United States, he contends that the trajectory is already set: “Here are the estimates from the TBTF banksters, and a few US government agencies. As you can see, the estimates are for ~$2 trillion deficits funded by ~$2 trillion of borrowing.” In his model, once one accepts that “Yearly Federal Deficit = Yearly Treasury Debt Issuance Amount,” the next critical question is who actually buys that debt, and on what financing. Fed’s Stealth QE Will “Pump Crypto” He dismisses foreign central banks as dependable marginal buyers after the US sanctioned and immobilized Russian reserves in 2022. “If Pax Americana is willing to steal Russia’s money… then no foreign owner of treasuries is ever safe,” he writes, concluding reserve managers “would rather buy gold than treasuries.” He likewise downplays the capacity of the US household sector given that “the 2024 personal savings rate was 4.6%” while “the US federal deficit was 6% of GDP,” and he argues the largest US money-center banks have increased their Treasury holdings by only “~$300 billion” in fiscal 2025 against issuance of “$1,992 billion,” making them meaningful but not decisive. Instead, Hayes positions relative-value hedge funds—particularly those booking positions via Cayman vehicles—as the marginal, price-setting bid for US duration. Citing a recent Federal Reserve study, he quotes: “Cayman Islands hedge funds purchased, on net, $1.2 trillion of Treasury securities… [between] January 2022 and December 2024… [and] absorbed 37% of net issuance of notes and bonds.” The trade architecture is straightforward: “Buy a cash treasury debt security vs. sell the corresponding treasury futures contract,” then lever the tiny basis through repo funding. Because the edge is “measured in basis points,” the trade only works if leverage is cheap and predictable every day. That funnel leads directly to the SRF. Hayes lays out the Fed’s short-rate corridor—“Upper and Lower Fed Funds; currently these equal 4.00% and 3.75% respectively”—and the policy plumbing that keeps market rates inside it: the Reverse Repo Facility (RRP) at the lower bound for money-market funds (MMFs) and banks, interest on reserve balances (IORB) for banks in the middle, and the SRF at the upper bound as the emergency spigot. Lower Fed Funds = RRP In his telling, the cash supply that cushions SOFR is structurally thinner than it was when the Fed began quantitative tightening in early 2022. MMFs, he says, have drained the RRP to zero because “the T-bill rate is so attractive,” making them less available as repo cash providers. That leaves banks, who will supply liquidity so long as they have ample reserves, but “banks lost trillions in reserves since the Fed began QT.” Set against that diminished supply of cash is relentless demand for repo financing from RV funds, whose “marginal” Treasury purchases must be levered. If SOFR threatens to pierce the ceiling and repo becomes unreliable, the Fed’s SRF must backstop the system to prevent a funding accident. “Because a similar situation occurred in 2019, the Fed created the SRF,” Hayes writes. “The Fed can supply an infinite amount of cash using its printing press at SRF as long as one provides an acceptable form of collateral.” His conclusion is blunt: “If the SRF balances are above zero, then we know the Fed is cashing the checks of the politicians using printed money.” Hayes labels this dynamic “Stealth QE.” He argues the optics of outright balance-sheet expansion via asset purchases are now politically toxic—“QE is a dirty word… QE = money printing = inflation”—so the central bank will prefer to meet marginal dollar demand via SRF lending rather than by visibly creating excess reserves. What This Means For The Crypto Market The result is functionally similar from a liquidity standpoint, in his view: repo credit distributed by the Fed against Treasuries still increases spendable dollars in the system to finance government borrowing. “This will buy some time, but eventually the exponential expansion of treasury debt issuance will force the repeated use of the SRF,” he writes. “Stealth QE will begin shortly. I don’t know when it will begin. But… the SRF balance must grow as the lender of last resort. As SRF balances grow, the amount of fiat dollars in the world expands as well. This phenomenon will reignite the Bitcoin bull market.” He also sketches a near-term tactical backdrop that helps explain recent market tone across crypto. While auctions are pulling cash into the Treasury General Account, he notes, fiscal spending has been temporarily impeded by the government shutdown, producing a net drain in private-sector liquidity. “The Treasury General Account is above the $850 billion target by ~$150bn,” he writes, arguing that this “extra liquidity won’t get released into the markets until the government reopens,” contributing to “current softness in the crypto markets.” In other words, the same fiscal engine that ultimately forces the Fed’s hand via the SRF can, in the very short run, sap liquidity when issuance front-runs outlays. Hayes’ rhetoric remains intentionally sharp. He describes Treasuries as “dog shit” at prevailing real yields, calls the buy-side “debt shit eaters,” and opens with a hymn to Bitcoin’s monetary properties—“Praise be to Lord Satoshi that time and compounding interest exist regardless of who you are.” The provocation serves the point: if the marginal financing of US deficits increasingly relies on opaque backstops rather than transparent reserve creation, then crypto’s native, non-sovereign liquidity cycles will key off the same hidden plumbing. He distills the investment upshot in a single sentence: “Treasury Debt Amount Issued = Increase in Supply of Dollars.” The essay is not a calendar call. Hayes refuses to timestamp the inflection—“I don’t know when it will begin”—and he warns that “between now and when stealth QE begins, one has to husband capital. Expect a choppy market,” especially with shutdown dynamics distorting flows. But he is unequivocal on direction once SRF usage becomes persistent: “Stealth QE will begin shortly… [and] will reignite the Bitcoin bull market.” For crypto investors conditioned to watch CPI prints and FOMC dots, the message is to track money-market microstructure instead. In Hayes’ framework, when SRF balances stop being a rounding error and start trending, that is the tell that dollar liquidity has quietly flipped—and that crypto isn’t topping yet. At press time, the total crypto market cap was at $3.41 trillion.

Michael Saylor und Robert Kiyosaki erwarten eine deutliche Bitcoin-Rally bis Ende 2025. Beide verweisen auf langfristige Trends und die Bedeutung von emotionaler Disziplin in volatilen Märkten. Trotz kurzfristiger Schwankungen und Rücksetzer bei MicroStrategy zeigt sich das langfristige Vertrauen stark. Bitcoin sorgt erneut für Schlagzeilen. Zwei der bekanntesten Stimmen im Kryptomarkt senden bullische Signale – und das, obwohl der Kurs nach Rekordständen zuletzt korrigiert hat. Michael Saylor und Robert Kiyosaki bleiben überzeugt, dass BTC noch ganz am Anfang seiner Reise steht. Ihre Botschaft ist klar: Wer jetzt Nerven zeigt, könnte später belohnt werden. Prominente Prognosen für eine neue Bitcoin-Rally Bitcoin polarisiert wie kaum ein Asset und legt ein weiteres Kapitel intensiver Debatten hin. Nachdem der Kurs sein Rekordhoch erreicht hat, folgte eine scharfe Korrektur. Dennoch treten zwei der lautesten Fürsprecher auf den Plan und setzen ein Zeichen des Vertrauens. Michael Saylor und Robert Kiyosaki sind überzeugt, dass die Kryptowährung weiter steigen wird und neue Höchststände erreichbar sind. Während viele Anleger verunsichert reagieren, bleiben diese prominenten Marktbeobachter optimistisch. Sie sehen die aktuelle Phase als normalen Zyklus in einem langfristigen Aufwärtstrend. Ihre Prognosen spiegeln nicht nur Hoffnung wider, sondern basieren auf historischen Mustern und neuen Marktstrukturen. Für sie ist der Rückgang kein Signal zur Panik, sondern eine Chance zum Handeln. Michael Saylor sieht strukturelle Stärke im Markt Michael Saylor, Executive Chairman von MicroStrategy, betont die wachsende Stabilität des BTC-Ökosystems. Trotz des jüngsten Schocks von Milliardenliquidationen sieht er eine robuste Marktstruktur. Laut Saylor bleibt der Aufwärtstrend bestehen, da Volatilität sinkt und institutionelle Nutzung zunimmt. Sein Kursziel von $150.000 bis Ende 2025 basiert auf Analysten-Konsens und langfristiger Fundamentalanalyse. Er geht sogar weiter und spricht von einem möglichen Anstieg bis hin zu siebenstelligen Beträgen innerhalb weniger Jahre. Seine Firma setzt diese Überzeugung in Taten um und kaufte zuletzt erneut hunderte Bitcoin. MicroStrategys Strategie bleibt klar: Bitcoin als primäres Wertaufbewahrungsmittel. Dass die Aktie von MicroStrategy parallel zur Korrektur fiel, zeigt die starke Bindung an den Kryptomarkt. MicroStrategy bleibt auf Einkaufskurs Die jüngste Akquisition von 390 BTC unterstreicht das Vertrauen des Unternehmens. Mit über 640.000 Bitcoin hält MicroStrategy eine Position, die im Krypto-Sektor nahezu einzigartig ist. Trotz Kursverlusten von rund 13% im Aktienpreis bleibt die Strategie unverändert. Für Saylor ist Bitcoin ein langfristiges Anlagevehikel, das traditionelle Finanzsysteme herausfordert. During the Strategy earnings call Saylor said that MSTR is a 10 year hold when a few minutes earlier the CEO presented figures based on BTC hitting $150k in…. checks watch ….60 days. You couldn't make this up! pic.twitter.com/NVbptYHLdZ — Skag (@superskag) November 1, 2025 Die Marktreaktion zeigt jedoch, dass Anleger kurzfristig sensibel auf Preisbewegungen reagieren. Der Rückgang bestätigt die enge Korrelation zwischen Bitcoin-Preis und Unternehmensbewertung. Dennoch sieht Saylor diese Schwankungen gelassen. Sein Fokus liegt klar auf langfristigen Wertzuwächsen und strukturellem Wachstum des Bitcoin-Netzwerks, nicht auf täglichen Kursbewegungen. Kiyosaki setzt auf emotionale Stärke und Kursziele Robert Kiyosaki, Bestseller-Autor und bekannter Investor, teilt eine noch aggressivere Prognose. Auf X erklärte er, dass BTC bis Jahresende $200.000 erreichen könne. Er betont jedoch nicht nur Zahlen, sondern das emotionale Management beim Investieren. Angst sei laut ihm der häufigste Grund, Chancen zu verpassen. Les hier, wieso einige Experten bei BTC noch dieses Jahr eine Rally bis 250k sehen. Kiyosaki erklärt, dass Anleger mehr verlieren, wenn sie aus Furcht handeln statt rational. Er selbst hält nach eigenen Aussagen BTC im Millionenbereich. Seine Sichtweise spricht besonders Kleinanleger an, die sich in volatilen Märkten schnell verunsichern lassen. Für ihn ist Bitcoin ein Werkzeug zur finanziellen Freiheit und Absicherung gegen Inflation. Marktdaten zeigen gemischtes Stimmungsbild Bitcoin handelt aktuell nahe $111.000 und liegt damit unter seinem Allzeithoch. Handelsvolumen und Futures-Finanzierung haben nachgelassen, was auf geringere Marktaktivität hinweist. Gleichzeitig zeigen institutionelle Zuflüsse, dass das Interesse großer Anleger weiter besteht. Analysten sehen den Rückzug daher eher als Mid-Cycle-Korrektur, nicht als Trendbruch. On-Chain-Daten bestätigen verstärkte Akkumulation, da mehr Coins von Börsen abgezogen werden. Niedrigere Liquidität erhöht zwar kurzfristiges Risiko, doch langfristige Anleger nutzen Rücksetzer zum Kauf. Diese Dynamik stützt die These eines gesunden Marktumfeldes. Geduld und Strategie scheinen derzeit wichtiger als schnelle Entscheidungen. Langfristige Perspektive trotz kurzfristiger Schwankungen Sowohl Saylor als auch Kiyosaki verweisen auf die Bedeutung des langfristigen Blicks. Ihre Einschätzungen beruhen auf strukturellen Trends, nicht auf tagesaktuellen Charts. Beide gehen davon aus, dass BTC weiter wachsen wird, gestützt durch institutionelle Nachfrage und klare Angebotsstruktur. Die aktuelle Unsicherheit sei temporär und Teil des Zyklus. Für Anleger bedeutet dies: Ruhe bewahren, Risiken kennen und langfristig denken. Emotionale Disziplin wird zum Schlüssel in einer hochdynamischen Anlageklasse. Wer BTC als langfristige Investition betrachtet, könnte von zukünftigen Kursanstiegen profitieren. Die Vision bleibt klar: ein digitaler Wertspeicher mit globaler Reichweite und enormem Wachstumspotenzial. Bitcoin Hyper: Profiteur eines prognostizierten Anstiegs von BTC Viele Experten prognostizieren für dieses Jahr einen deutlichen Anstieg von BTC. Mit steigendem Interesse und institutioneller Teilnahme gewinnt BTC weiter an Bedeutung. Bitcoin Hyper baut direkt auf dieser Entwicklung auf: Es verbindet die Sicherheit von Bitcoin mit der Geschwindigkeit von Solana und macht BTC anwendbar – nicht nur ein Wertaufbewahrungsmittel. Gelangt Bitcoin in eine neue Wachstumsphase, steht Bitcoin Hyper bereit, davon zu profitieren. Lies hier eine langfristige Prognose für BTC Hyper! $HYPER: Wenn BTC steigt, könnte Hyper mitsteigen $HYPER ist der Token, der diese Erweiterung möglich macht. Steigt BTC wie von Experten erwartet, steigt auch der Bedarf an Lösungen, die BTC nutzbar machen. Hyper erfüllt genau diesen Bedarf – und $HYPER könnte von dieser Dynamik mittel- bis langfristig profitieren.

China’s DeepSeek AI predicts that Bitcoin will continue losing its dominance to high-utility altcoins as crypto matures. Historically, catalytic events, like “Uptober” and the Fed’s interest rate cuts, have not yielded the bull markets people expected. While some of it is down to controversial tariffs by Washington, the downturn has dragged on for a month, which suggests the industry is undergoing a major change.See, beyond Bitcoin’s narrative of being a store of value, crypto is designed to have everyday use that makes our lives easier. That’s why DeepSeek names XRP, Solana, and Pi Network as likely frontrunners when the candles turn green again.XRP ($XRP): DeepSeek Sees 400% Upside by Year-EndAccording to DeepSeek’s modeling, Ripple’s XRP ($XRP) could emerge as one of the biggest gainers of 2025’s closing months, with forecasts showing a potential rise to between $5 and $10, roughly a 339% surge from its current level of $2.28.Source: DeepSeek AIFollowing Ripple’s courtroom victory over the SEC earlier this year, investor sentiment turned sharply positive, propelling XRP to a seven-year peak of $3.65 in July. Over the past twelve months, XRP has risen 350%, outperforming major assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.Ripple’s introduction of the RLUSD stablecoin, combined with CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s outreach to U.S. political leaders, has positioned the firm as a compliant and forward-thinking player in the evolving regulatory landscape. This perception continues to draw institutional and retail interest alike.XRP’s chart patterns remain encouraging, with multiple bullish flag formations extending into early 2025, a sign of potential continuation.If new catalysts emerge, such as ETF approvals, expanded global partnerships, or clearer U.S. crypto legislation, XRP could realize DeepSeek’s upper price target of $10 before Christmas.Solana (SOL): DeepSeek Predicts Post-ETF Surge to Four DigitsSolana ($SOL) continues to solidify its reputation as one of the fastest-growing smart contract platforms, boasting a market cap above $89 billion and over $10 billion in total value locked (TVL) across its DeFi ecosystem.The recent approval of Bitwise and Grayscale’s Solana ETFs in the U.S. has reignited excitement among institutional investors. Capital inflows could mirror those seen when Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs launched, potentially fueling another leg upward.Known for its lightning-fast transaction speeds, nearly zero fees, and widespread adoption in tokenization and stablecoin solutions, Solana is an enterprise-grade blockchain.After reaching $250 in January and dipping to around $100 in April, SOL now trades near $162, about 45% below its all-time high of $293 recorded earlier this year.Having broken out of a bullish flag pattern, DeepSeek anticipates that Solana could soar between $500 and $1,000 by the end of the year, an ambitious yet realistic target given the next bull cycle is likely to be dominated by high-utility altcoins.Pi Network ($PI): DeepSeek AI Foresees MoonshotPi Network ($PI) pioneered the mobile “tap-to-mine” approach, allowing users to earn tokens from their smartphones by logging in and tapping the app daily.Currently trading near $0.22, DeepSeek predicts a moonshot to $10, a 45x return from current levels. This is already a hyper-bullish scenario, but DeepSeek goes so far as to give $50 as an upper target, though such an extreme gain is highly improbable given current market conditions.Nevertheless, ongoing developer updates and recent announcements lend credibility to the idea that Pi’s fortune will change.Since its February 2025 debut, Pi has experienced volatile price action, including a 171% surge in May. Its present RSI of around 35 points to near oversold conditions and potential undervaluation, also hint that a rebound could be near.Since its February 2025 debut, Pi has experienced volatile price action, including a 171% surge in May.

Bitcoin slipped below $100,000 for the first time since June 2025 and officially entered bear market territory with a 20% decline from its October 6 record high as crypto markets wiped out over $1 trillion in total market capitalization. The sharp downturn, driven primarily by unprecedented leverage levels rather than weakening fundamentals, has left 300,000 traders liquidated daily on average while crypto adoption, deregulation, and technological advancement continue at a record pace.The massive selloff can be traced back to heightened leverage amplifying market swings, particularly the $20 billion liquidation event on October 10.“Leverage is a wild ‘drug,'” noted The Kobessi Letter, describing how the market has evolved into its most reactive form in history amid Trump posts and breaking headlines. The million dollar question:What is happening crypto right now?Crypto markets have now officially erased over -$1 TRILLION of market cap since October 6th.But why?The answer to this question seems to be more technical than fundamental.That is, crypto adoption is still…— The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) November 4, 2025 Technical Breakdown and Support Levels—What’s Next for BTC?Bitcoin lost key support at the 85th percentile cost basis of around $109,000 and now hovers near $103,500, according to Glassnode data.The next key level sits at the 75th percentile cost basis near $99,000, which has historically provided support during pullbacks. CryptoQuant reported that short-term holders intensified loss-selling pressure, stating, “today alone, we’re seeing roughly 30,300 BTC being deposited while underwater, reflecting a growing wave of capitulation among recent buyers.”Source: CryptoQuantThe pressure continues as the STH-SOPR hovers around 1, typically indicating stress and fragile confidence.“Each time price attempts to recover and reaches the STH realized price (currently around $112,500), we see immediate profit-taking or break-even exits,” CryptoQuant noted. “These reactions create overhead resistance and make it harder for price to break higher.“Why Institutions Keep Buying Despite the BloodbathEarlier today, Binance data reveals that Bitcoin is trading below its moving average of $112,245, with unrealized losses at just 0.06%.Source: CryptoQuantCryptoQuant analysts observed that this means “only a small percentage of traders on Binance are currently holding their coins at a loss, indicating that most positions were opened at or below the current price.”“In other words, the market has not yet entered a phase of widespread losses or a significant sell-off,” the analyst added.Despite October’s correction, market sentiment remains cautiously optimistic as we enter November. Bitcoin ETFs recorded inflows of nearly 50,000 BTC over the past 30 days, indicating continued institutional accumulation.“Accumulation of coins by major market participants, the trade agreement between Washington and Beijing, and moderately positive stock market performance are paving the way for a possible recovery in November,” said Shawn Young, Chief Analyst at MEXC Research, when speaking with Cryptonews.Young added that November is historically strong for cryptocurrencies. “This seasonal factor, combined with growing inflows into Bitcoin ETFs (almost 50,000 BTC over the past 30 days), indicates continued institutional position accumulation.” Key resistance now sits between $111,000 and $113,000. “A break of this level could trigger upward momentum and pave the way to $117,000, and with favorable macroeconomic news, a retest of the all-time high of $126,000,” Young explained.Bear Case vs. Bull Case OutlookAnalyst Plan C maintains his base case for continued bull market conditions, expecting recovery after briefly dipping below the 50-week moving averages. However, he addressed growing fears directly. He said that “a lot of the fear right now comes from people having PTSD from previous Bitcoin events like the FTX/Luna collapses, or from the recent mass liquidation events if they were holding altcoins.“ My Bitcoin Market Synopsis:You’re going to want to bookmark this.*Not Investment Advice*My base case remains that we are still in a bull market: we’ll recover from this dip over the coming week or two after briefly dipping below the 50-week SMA/EMA, then closing back above…— PlanC (@TheRealPlanC) November 4, 2025 Plan C emphasized how institutional adoption has fundamentally changed market dynamics.“With the institutional bid and the market cap now comfortably over $1 trillion, Bitcoin is not the same asset. The ‘it could go to zero’ discount that existed in all previous bear markets has been completely removed.”“Bitcoin is now on the radar of essentially ALL the big money players in the world,” he added.He projected that even in a bear scenario, “the odds of dropping below $70,000 (-45%) are extremely small, and a move to $80,000–$90,000 is much more likely if — and it’s a big if — the bull market is truly over, which I still don’t think it is.“The post Bitcoin Falls Below $100K, Wipes Out $1 Trillion from the Crypto Market – Here’s What’s Really Happening appeared first on Cryptonews.

The team confirmed that the funds will be restored to the Berachain deployer address at 0xD276D…, and on-chain messages have been sent to verify the process.Additionally, the Balancer exploit has intensified scrutiny of DeFi security. Despite undergoing more than ten audits by top firms, including OpenZeppelin, Trail of Bits, and Certora, Balancer’s V2 contracts were compromised.Developer Suhail Kakar commented that repeated audits are no longer a guarantee of safety, noting that “code is hard, DeFi is harder.” balancer went through 10+ audits. the vault was audited 3 separate times by different firmsstill got hacked for $110Mthis space needs to accept that 'audited by X' means almost nothing. code is hard, defi is harderit is unfortunate but hope the team recovers pic.twitter.com/nZzVzCdqDO— Suhail Kakar (@SuhailKakar) November 3, 2025 The incident adds to Balancer’s troubled security history. Since launching in 2020, the protocol has suffered multiple attacks, including a $520,000 loss due to a deflationary token vulnerability in 2020, a $2.1 million rounding error exploit in 2023, and a DNS hijack later that year.

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is moving to overturn his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence as his appeals process begins today. The FTX founder’s legal counsel will argue that he was presumed guilty before he was even charged. SBF Takes His Case to Court As oral arguments for SBF’s appeal get underway in Manhattan this week, the 33-year-old founder of the collapsed FTX exchange is seizing the moment to distance his name from words like “deception” and “betrayal.” Since a jury convicted SBF on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy two years ago, he and his legal team have been working on building his chances of an appeal to overturn his 25-year prison sentence. Before Sam Bankman-Fried testified for the jury in his own trial, he testified for an "unprecedented" hearing where prosecutors were able to cross-examine him.His lawyers say he was railroaded. SBF basically gave the prosecution a preview of his defense. pic.twitter.com/YnsPsp8cwq— Jacob Shamsian ⚖️ (@JayShams) November 4, 2025 During oral arguments, SBF’s attorney, Alexandra Shapiro, will argue that her client was treated as guilty from the outset, paving the way for a biased trial that ultimately resulted in his conviction. “In the United States, people accused of crimes are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt,” Shapiro wrote in a September 2024 brief filed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, reviewed by BeInCrypto. “That’s how it’s supposed to work,” she continued. “But none of that happened here. Fair trial principles were swept away in a ‘sentence first, verdict afterwards’ rush to judgment after FTX’s collapse.” She argued that bias, procedural errors, and the court’s refusal to let the defense present crucial evidence tainted the trial. Inside the Government’s Case Against SBF SBF’s conviction stemmed from the collapse of FTX and its sister firm, Alameda Research, following the 2022 crypto market crash. Prosecutors alleged that he misled customers while secretly using client funds to prop up Alameda and finance other ventures. The trial took place in the Southern District of New York before Judge Lewis A. Kaplan. In November 2023, a jury found SBF guilty. The charges followed months of market turmoil, during which Bitcoin lost more than half its value, major crypto players like Luna and Three Arrows Capital imploded, and bankruptcies erupted across the sector. Alameda’s heavily crypto-linked holdings plunged in value, forcing emergency repayments and exposing deep liquidity problems that ultimately led to FTX’s collapse. The government argued FTX was a fraud from inception, claiming SBF built it to funnel customer funds to Alameda. Prosecutors said he used the money for high-risk bets, real estate investments, and political donations, while misleading investors about FTX’s stability. Former executives testified that he authorized deceptive balance sheets and concealed Alameda’s massive debt. Yet, according to SBF’s legal defense, there was another way to view FTX’s demise. SBF’s Lawyers Say Evidence Was Silenced In her brief, Shapiro argued that the jury never got to see the full picture of FTX’s collapse. She maintained that SBF acted in good faith and believed FTX and Alameda were solvent when the market panic hit. The defense was prepared to show that FTX’s downfall stemmed from a liquidity crunch driven by a surge in customer withdrawals, rather than from insolvency. “There were always sufficient assets to make customers whole, although it would have taken a few days to a few weeks to sell enough of them to cover all remaining customer deposits, should the run on the bank continue,” Shapiro argued. She argued the court blocked key evidence proving the companies’ solvency while letting prosecutors present their version unchallenged. It also excluded most expert witnesses and restricted the testimony of the one permitted to appear. As a result, SBF was forced to rely mainly on his own account. SBF insisted that FTX was solvent and “could even repay crypto in kind.”FYI, former FTX executive Dan Chapsky also claimed in a recent interview that FTX was solvent and could repay customers in crypto.With SBF’s appeal approaching, the narrative battle between the pro-FTX… pic.twitter.com/5FK9KknwPE— FTX Historian (@historian_ftx) October 14, 2025 Shapiro added that the judge undermined her client’s credibility by mocking his demeanor during testimony. “The court ‘ridiculed Bankman-Fried’s demeanor, making comments like ‘the witness has what I’ll simply call an interesting way of responding to questions,’” the brief read. The Second Circuit is expected to take several months to issue a decision following this week’s oral arguments. If the court sides with SBF, his case could be sent back for a new trial. Such a move would reopen one of the most high-profile fraud cases in the history of cryptocurrency.

XRP’s price has dropped sharply over the past week after large token holders offloaded hundreds of thousands of coins. The recent decline is tied to increased selling activity from whale wallets and shifts in broader market behavior. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.26. The 24-hour trading volume sits at $6.42 billion. The token has lost 13% over the last seven days and is down 6% in the past 24 hours. Whales Reduce Exposure as Price Falls Whale addresses holding between 100 million and 1 billion XRP have been reducing their holdings recently, according to analyst Ali Martinez. 900,000 $XRP sold by whales in just 5 days! pic.twitter.com/28404KMy24 — Ali (@ali_charts) November 3, 2025 This activity took place during a period of sharp price decline for XRP. Charts show the asset falling from above $3.00 to the $2.40 range during this time. Similar behavior was observed in the weeks leading up to the drop, as noted by reports from CryptoPotato. Moreover, data from CryptoQuant shows that transfers of XRP from large wallets to exchanges have dropped off since the end of October. Notable spikes in activity were recorded on October 10, 16, and 25. After those dates, flows fell and stayed low. Source: CryptoQuant The 30-day average of these transfers has also trended downward, pointing to reduced sell-side pressure. While XRP’s price moved from over $2.90 to $2.30 during this period, the recent slowdown in exchange inflows may help ease further declines — if demand holds steady. Technical Setup Shows Volatility Crypto analyst CryptoWZRD reported that both XRP/USD and XRP/BTC closed bearish recently, following an increase in Bitcoin dominance. “XRP and XRPBTC both retested their support territory,” the analyst said, noting that the outlook depends on how Bitcoin dominance moves going forward. In addition, the intraday chart showed strong volatility, with the price bouncing in a narrow range. Another analyst, CW, noted that XRP is currently supported by a buying wall but warned: “Two selling walls exist until $2.57.” As previously reported, the current pattern may be part of a broader five-wave move, with the final leg possibly targeting the $2.00 zone. Away from price movement, Ripple has announced the launch of a digital asset spot prime brokerage service in the US. This platform allows institutional clients to execute over-the-counter spot transactions for a range of digital assets, including XRP and the RLUSD stablecoin. Furthermore, Ripple recently acquired Palisade, expanding its custody services beyond banks to include fintechs, corporates, and crypto-native firms.

Clients using Ripple Prime can now dive into spot trading with a wide selection of cryptocurrencies. This shift marks a new chapter for Ripple’s institutional offering, which previously focused on over-the-counter services and derivatives. Now, Ripple Prime is stepping out from the background and into the main arena of live crypto markets. From Contracts to Coins What makes this update significant is that institutions no longer need to rely on contracts or swaps to gain exposure to crypto. They can now buy and sell the actual coins themselves. Before this move, most prime brokers catered to derivatives and structured products. Brian Quintenz is the right person for the complex derivatives markets the CFTC oversees. For crypto, he is uniquely positioned to deliver on a new area of agency responsibility. I’m proud to have worked with him on issues and to call him a friend. It’s time to confirm BQ. https://t.co/umqOorK4tm — Greg Xethalis (@xethalis) August 20, 2025 Ripple Prime offers spot access, meaning fewer middle steps and more direct ownership. That’s a big deal for institutions that have been cautious about diving into crypto due to unclear systems or security gaps. A Big Buyout with Bigger Plans This evolution stems from Ripple’s acquisition of Hidden Road, a move that cost $1.25 billion. Hidden Road wasn’t small either. It was already generating approximately $3 trillion per year for institutional clients, with services spanning from forex to futures. Now that Ripple has integrated it under the Ripple Prime brand, it’s rolling out a broader toolkit. Spot trading is the latest piece of that puzzle, giving clients a one-stop solution for both crypto and traditional assets. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in November2025 Eyes on Wall Street This new access point could attract hedge funds, trading desks and large institutions that have been circling crypto without diving in. Some may have held back due to poor infrastructure or unreliable trade execution. If Ripple Prime can prove it handles both traditional and crypto markets with the same consistency, it might start pulling in serious volume. That kind of momentum could push other platforms to step up or risk falling behind. What to Watch Going Forward There are still some details that need close attention. Custody and settlement processes will be critical, especially for institutions that demand clean and secure operations. Traders will also want to know which assets are supported and how competitive Ripple Prime’s pricing will be. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Speed and reliability will make or break the rollout. And as always, regulation looms in the background. Any movement from lawmakers could affect how this service scales. Bridging Two Financial Worlds This launch points to something larger. The wall separating crypto and traditional finance is getting lower. When a single platform can offer both spot crypto trading and prime brokerage services, the transition into digital assets becomes less complicated for institutions. That could bring more capital into the market, drive deeper liquidity, and slowly push crypto toward greater maturity. DISCOVER: Next 1000X Crypto: 10+ Crypto Tokens That Can Hit 1000x in 2025 The Bigger Picture By letting its clients trade spot crypto directly, Ripple Prime is pushing the space forward. It shows how far crypto infrastructure has come and hints that big players no longer want to be locked into only derivatives. This change could reshape expectations across the industry and influence how other financial institutions approach crypto access in the future. DISCOVER: 20+ Next Crypto to Explode in 2025 Join The 99Bitcoins News Discord Here For The Latest Market Updates Key Takeaways Ripple Prime has expanded beyond over-the-counter and derivatives trading, now offering direct spot crypto trading for institutional clients. Institutions can buy and sell actual cryptocurrencies through Ripple Prime, eliminating the need for swaps or synthetic exposure. The move follows Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road, a major clearing firm handling $3 trillion annually across multiple asset classes. This expansion could attract hedge funds and large institutions seeking reliable, regulated access to both crypto and traditional markets under one roof. Ripple Prime’s success will depend on strong custody systems, transparent pricing, and regulatory clarity as it bridges crypto with Wall Street.

The market is not ready to continue moving forward: volume and liquidity are certainly a problem for XRP, SHIB and even Dogecoin.

Today, we’re breaking down CoinGecko’s 2025 Q1 Crypto Industry Report and summarizing its key insights for 99Bitcoins readers. The third quarter of 2025 marked a turning point for the crypto market, becoming a period of stabilization, maturity, and cautious optimism. After the volatility of early 2025, digital assets found firmer ground, with Bitcoin (BTC) hovering close to all-time-high territory, Ethereum (ETC) strengthening its ecosystem through liquid staking and real-world asset (RWA) integration, and selected altcoins proving that fundamentals are back in focus. According to CoinGecko’s Q3 2025 Crypto Industry Report, the total crypto market capitalization fluctuated between $2.5 trillion and $2.9 trillion, signaling steady consolidation after earlier peaks and pullbacks. Institutional participation continued to rise, ETF inflows leveled off rather than reversed, and developers continued to build, especially across DeFi, tokenization, and gaming. Let’s break down what these trends reveal about where the market stands today and what might be coming next! Crypto Market Analysis Q3 2025: Summary The third quarter of 2025 brought a mix of consolidation, cautious optimism, and emerging opportunities across the crypto industry. While Bitcoin continued to hold its ground after a volatile first half of the year, Ethereum and several altcoin sectors showed resilience amid shifting investor sentiment. According to CoinGecko’s Q3 2025 Crypto Industry Report, the total market capitalization fluctuated between $2.5 trillion and $2.9 trillion, reflecting a period of relative stability after earlier highs and corrections. Key Takeaways BTC traded mostly between $68K–$70K as long-term holders locked away supply and ETF inflows stabilized, signaling a more mature, institution-driven market. ETH staking surpassed the mark of 32 million, while renewed decentralized finance (DeFi) and RWA activity pushed average gas fees higher but underscored growing on-chain utility. Solana, Avalanche, and Base benefited from ecosystem expansion, while speculative meme tokens like DOGE and PEPE cooled, contributing under 2% of total volume. Liquid staking and tokenized treasuries pushed DeFi TVL to about $115 billion, with Base emerging as a serious Layer-2 contender. Trading volume rose 12% quarter-over-quarter as developers shifted from hype-driven drops to utility-based NFTs and cross-platform integration. Binance retained a ~45% market share but faced headwinds, while Coinbase grew through ETF exposure and derivatives; decentralized exchanges captured 22% of total trading, their strongest share since 2022. Crypto fundamentals, liquidity, and institutional engagement are strengthening, setting the stage for Q4 catalysts like ETF inflows, RWA tokenization, and macro policy shifts. Total Crypto Market Capitalization in Q3 2025 Q3 2025 is in the books, but why is analyzing it important? Because understanding how the market evolved this quarter can help you navigate what comes next. From shifting capital flows to changing investor behavior, the trends bring to the surface where the market’s strength and potential risks may lie heading into the next quarter. The broader crypto market entered Q3 2025 with renewed momentum, and the data show it clearly: total market capitalization rose by around +16.4% (ca. $563.6 billion) to finish the quarter at about $4.0 trillion, taking the industry back to levels last seen in late 2021. Source: CoinGecko That growth comes with nuances. While price action played a role, the uptick in average daily trading volume (up to ~$155 billion, +43.8% QoQ) signals that participation is ramping back up after weakness earlier in the year. At the same time, the market’s volatility has dampened: annualized volatility for the total crypto cap fell from ~44.6% in Q2 to ~35.6% in Q3, suggesting that as the market matures, we will be seeing less extreme swings. Crucially, the structure of where the money went is shifting. Although the headline figure is a big rebound, beneath the surface, we’re seeing, for example, stablecoins and decentralized finance (DeFi) reclaiming share, and altcoins carving out selective hot spots rather than broad-based rallies. That means the total market cap number is useful as a macro signpost, but the real story lies in how that value is distributed and deployed. This is something that investors and analysts should watch closely. Bitcoin, Altcoins & Stablecoins: Q3 2025 Performance Review Clearly, the broader crypto market is back on the move, but in Q3 2025, each major asset class told a different story. Bitcoin offered relative stability amid shifting tides, the large-cap altcoin segment surged into the selective spotlight, whilst USDC, USDT, and other stablecoins quietly set new records. To offer a quick recap, while the total market cap climbed, the spotlight moved away from broad-based rallies and toward nuanced rotations, which can be considered a clear sign of the maturing investment landscape. Source: CoinGecko Bitcoin held steady as the market’s anchor in Q3, trading mostly between $68,000 and $70,000 after briefly dipping below $65,000. However, mid-quarter it flashed its strength by setting a new all-time high (ATH) of around $123,500, before retracing to more stable levels. This brief surge underscored Bitcoin’s continued dominance and the market’s sensitivity to institutional flows. Despite the later cooldown, its modest quarterly gains reflected a maturing phase rather than weakness: volatility eased, and long-term holders kept accumulating, with over 70% of supply inactive for more than a year. The combination of tightening liquidity, steady ETF inflows, and reduced miner selling reinforced Bitcoin’s role as crypto’s safe harbor amid shifting market dynamics. With institutions now accumulating instead of speculating, Bitcoin appears to be entering a consolidation phase where endurance and conviction matter more than breakout moves. Ethereum maintained its position as the leading smart contract platform, supported by renewed activity in DeFi and tokenized real-world assets. However, the report noted a modest increase in average gas fees due to heightened activity around liquid staking and Layer-2 (L2) settlements. ETH’s price hovered between $3,300 and $3,800 during Q3, with staking participation surpassing 32 million ETH. This record high reflects growing network trust. Altcoin performance diverged sharply in Q3. Blue-chip networks like Solana and Avalanche benefited from institutional interest in tokenized assets and gaming, while many smaller projects underperformed. The memecoin trend, led by tokens like PEPE and DOGE, cooled significantly, contributing less than 2% to total trading volumes. Investors mostly favored projects with tangible use cases and ecosystem growth potential. Cryptocurrency Approx. Q3 2025 Return Key Highlights Bitcoin (BTC) ~ +6.4% Relatively modest growth, reinforcing its stability anchor role; market dominance remains high Ethereum (ETH) ~ +68.5% Outperformed major peers, hit a new ATH (~$4,946) before settling around ~$4,215 BNB ~ +57.3% Strong quarter, reached fresh highs (~$1,030); growth reflecting ecosystem momentum and exchange-token synergy Solana (SOL) ~ +34.7% Solid double-digit gain, with network activity and ecosystem interest rising, yet less explosive than ETH/BNB Did you know stablecoins quietly stole part of the spotlight in Q3? The top 20 stablecoins saw $44.5 billion of net inflows in the quarter, pushing the market cap to a new all-time high (ATH) of $287.6 billion (and crossing $300B in early Q4). The report stated, Stablecoin market cap surged by a record +$44.5B in Q3 to reach $287.6, driven by explosive growth in USDe and USDC. Fiat-backed coins such as USDC and newer entrants like USDe led the gains, reinforcing stablecoins’ role as the primary on- and off-ramp for traders, a liquidity buffer for DeFi, and a workhorse for settlement and yields. That growth underlines how much of the market’s short-term capital now lives in stablecoins, useful for reducing volatility exposure, but also raising questions about concentration, reserve transparency, and evolving regulatory scrutiny as stablecoins become more systemically important. DeFi: Liquid Staking and RWAs Lead Growth They said decentralized finance (DeFi) was resting, but in Q3 2025, it woke up with a slow stretch. While mainstream assets grabbed headlines, the under-the-radar gears of DeFi were quietly reinvigorating, moving beyond hype, and rebuilding on fundamentals and new use-cases. The DeFi ecosystem saw a robust revival in Q3, with Total Value Locked (TVL) climbing +40.2% from about $115 billion at the start of the quarter to $161 billion by the end of September. Source: CoinGecko This surge was underpinned by structural shifts: liquid staking and RWA tokenization gained serious traction. For example, lending and staking platforms grew respectively +55.0% and +67.2% QoQ, driven in part by ETH’s strong performance and growing demand for yield. RWA protocols alone saw TVL rise from $12.7 billion in Q2 to $15.9 billion in Q3—up +25.2%. On the network front, Ethereum pulled ahead, expanding its TVL share from 60.9% to 62.1%, while emerging chains like Plasma added $5.5 billion in TVL in one quarter, showing how L2s and alternative ecosystems are increasingly important. Also notable: basis-trading protocols that are often tied to stablecoin mechanics exploded by +149.4% QoQ, pointing to how the stablecoin and DeFi markets are becoming more intertwined. NFTs and Gaming: Gradual Rebound Remember when non-fungible tokens (NFTs) and play-to-earn (P2E) games were everyone’s favorite dinner topic? Well, they’re not quite back at that level yet, but in Q3 2025, the space showed a flicker of that old spark. NFT trading volumes climbed about 12% from Q2 levels as top NFT marketplaces like Blur and OpenSea reignited incentive programs, drawing traders and creators back into the fold. NFT lending platforms posted an even stronger comeback, with loan volumes up 148.2% QoQ, hinting that the market is shifting toward utility-backed use cases and more sophisticated financialization. Source: CoinGecko Gaming tokens, meanwhile, gained moderate traction on networks like Immutable and Ronin, supported by developers focusing on cross-platform integration, user ownership, and sustainable reward mechanics rather than one-off speculative drops. The tone has changed, with the industry gradually maturing and trading hype cycles for steady world-building, even though activity is still far from the dizzying highs of 2021. Could it be a quieter kind of comeback that might finally last? Exchanges and Trading: Volume Shifts and Regulatory Pressure Trading floors were yet again buzzing across the crypto world in Q3. As volumes surged, regulatory winds shifted, and the spotlight moved from centralized giants to their decentralized challengers, the exchange landscape reminded us that when crypto evolves, so does how and where we trade. Spot trading volume on major centralized exchanges (CEXs) climbed 31.6% quarter-on-quarter, jumping from about $3.9 trillion in Q2 to roughly $5.1 trillion in Q3. Binance remained the clear leader with over $2 trillion in quarterly trades and around 40–45% market share, though ongoing regulatory headwinds in the EU and Asia chipped away at its dominance. Coinbase, on the other hand, benefited from derivatives adoption and strong U.S. ETF inflows, cementing its role as the preferred exchange for institutional capital. Source: CoinGecko Here’s a snapshot of the quarter’s trading dynamics: Spot Trading (CEX): $5.1 trillion total volume (+31.6% QoQ) Binance: ~$2 trillion volume, ~40–45% market share (slight decline) DEXs’ Market Share: Climbed to 22%+, the highest since early 2022 Perpetual DEX Volume: Record $1.8 trillion (+87% QoQ) Top Gainers: Bybit, OKX, and Coinbase, driven by derivatives and ETF flows Meanwhile, decentralized exchanges (DEXs) continued to eat into centralized dominance, driven by traders seeking non-custodial safety, protocol incentives, and lower barriers to entry. The strong rebound in perpetual DEX volume underlines how quickly traders are adapting to the new liquidity landscape. Overall, Q3 2025 demonstrated that crypto trading is changing simultaneously on two fronts, with DEXs thriving on innovation and CEXs adapting to stricter regulations. It serves as a reminder to investors that the next big thing in crypto may not be what is being traded, but rather where it’s being traded. Big Influences Shaping the Crypto Landscape in Q3 2025 As we’re nearing the end of our analysis, let’s take a step back and look at the bigger picture. Behind the charts and price fluctuations, Q3 2025 revealed the real forces driving crypto growth. From major institutional moves to a stronger DeFi comeback and the expanding role of stablecoins, the quarter showed that the market is developing and maturing. Institutions Are Here to Stay In Q3, institutional players kept building positions through Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, while average daily trading volume climbed above $150 billion. Rather than chasing short-term gains, funds and companies are treating crypto like a long-term asset class. Thus, the current market’s staying power can be attributed to the transition from speculation to strategy. Stablecoins Take the Spotlight The quarter’s silent winners were stablecoins. The total market cap increased by around 18%, to approximately $288 billion. Stablecoins are now the foundation of on-chain operations, enabling everything from payments and settlements to driving DeFi’s liquidity engines. To put it briefly, they are now the closest link between the cryptocurrency sector and the actual economy. DeFi Finds Its Footing Again DeFi recovered from months of sideways movement and did it well. TVL jumped by over 40%, thanks to liquid staking and tokenized RWAs. Networks like Ethereum, Solana, and Base saw the most traction, indicating that DeFi is shifting toward practical, yield-driven innovation. Exchanges Face Pressure But Keep Adapting The trading scene is rapidly changing. Despite greater regulatory obstacles, particularly in the EU and Asia, CEXs managed to hold their foothold. Meanwhile, DEXs have reached their highest market share since 2022, driven by traders seeking transparency and self-custody. The lesson learned? Users are literally voting with their wallets, and crypto trading is growing more diverse than ever. Beyond Bitcoin: Capital Finds New Paths Although Bitcoin remained the market leader, investors began to spread their bets. Solana, BNB, and Ethereum all beat the broader market, indicating a more complex and well-balanced environment. The next wave of growth, propelled by innovation, may be influenced by this trend toward diversification. Conclusion The Q3 2025 data suggest that crypto markets are entering a consolidation phase marked by selective growth, stronger fundamentals, and a reduced influence of short-term speculation. Bitcoin’s stability, Ethereum’s expanding staking base, and DeFi’s focus on real-world utility all point to a market that is becoming more institutionalized and efficient. As Q4 approaches, the key catalysts to watch include macroeconomic policy shifts, Bitcoin ETF inflows, and the accelerating tokenization of traditional assets.

Global investment manager T. Rowe Price has taken a step forward through its new Active Crypto ETF filing with the U.S. SEC, spotlighting Shiba Inu.

EU crypto regulator enforcement could be set to expand as the EU plots an ESMA expansion – nowhere left to run for Europoor? Brussels wants a single supervisor for major crypto firms. EU officials are working on a plan that would give ESMA direct oversight of the bloc’s biggest cross-border crypto companies. The EU plans to submit the proposal in December as part of its Market Integration Package. How Would Centralized Supervision Change Crypto Rules Under MiCA? The goal is straightforward: to transfer certain supervisory powers from national agencies to ESMA, ensuring more consistent rules across member states. Leaders in Brussels have renewed their push for the Capital Markets Union to stay competitive and attract more private investment. Giving ESMA a stronger role is one way to build a more unified market. The Commission has been gathering feedback on this through 2025. MiCA, the EU’s new crypto rulebook, sits in the background. It’s already in place, but enforcement still falls to a whopping 27 different regulators. That means rules can vary in practice, and firms may try to exploit gaps. A more centralized system is meant to close those loopholes. DISCOVER: 10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2025 Is the EU Moving Toward Centralized Financial Oversight Beyond Crypto? ESMA chair Verena Ross has also pointed to clear disagreements. She suggests that any new powers should focus on the largest platforms rather than the entire market. Law firms and market analysts say moving oversight to ESMA could make it easier for crypto platforms to get permission to operate across the EU. It may also limit “forum shopping,” where firms select the most favorable national regulator. However, many still seek clarity on what constitutes the “most important,” whether it will be based on trading volume, user size, or the platform’s global reach. Earlier reports suggested ESMA may also take on other direct-supervision duties outside crypto, pointing to a wider shift toward centralizing financial oversight. The Commission’s December plan is expected to explain the full scope of the proposal, including thresholds, timelines, and whether crypto supervision shifts to ESMA all at once or in stages alongside other market systems. Discussions among member states in early 2026 will determine how much authority is transferred to ESMA and how this aligns with MiCA, which currently delegates licensing to national regulators.

One of Ethereum’s leading DeFi protocols, Balancer, which also functions as an established automated market maker (AMM) on the network, suffered a significant exploit today (November 3), resulting in losses exceeding $70M. On-chain data shows that multiple Balancer liquidity pools were drained in rapid succession, with the stolen tokens quickly transferred to a newly created wallet controlled by the attacker. We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information. — Balancer (@Balancer) November 3, 2025 What we Know About the Balancer Hack So Far The attack targeted Balancer’s V2 vaults and liquidity pools, exploiting a vulnerability in smart contract interactions. Preliminary analysis from on-chain investigators points to a maliciously deployed contract that manipulated Vault calls during pool initialization. Improper authorization and callback handling allowed the attacker to bypass safeguards. This enabled unauthorized swaps or balance manipulations across interconnected pools, resulting in the rapid depletion of assets. The exploiter initiated a series of transactions starting with a key Ethereum mainnet transaction (0xd155207261712c35fa3d472ed1e51bfcd816e616dd4f517fa5959836f5b48569), which funneled assets to a new wallet under their control. Funds were then consolidated, likely for laundering via mixers or bridges. Balancer’s composable design, where pools interact heavily, amplified the flaw. Similar issues have plagued AMMs before, often tied to how they handle deflationary tokens or pool rebalancing. Full forensic details are still emerging, with auditors like PeckShield and Nansen involved. There is no evidence of a private key compromise; this was a pure smart contract exploit. The swift execution of the transfers suggests the attacker had a deep understanding of Balancer’s smart contracts, potentially exploiting a flaw in how the platform handles swaps or manages pool balances. DISCOVER: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now Balancer Reacts, Community on Edge At the time of writing, Balancer has posted just one update, confirming the hack and assuring the community an investigation is underway. The DeFi protocols post on X reads: “We’re aware of a potential exploit impacting Balancer v2 pools. Our engineering and security teams are investigating with high priority. We’ll share verified updates and next steps as soon as we have more information.” The lack of communication has fueled uncertainty within the DeFi community, as users scramble to understand the scope and cause of the breach. Blockchain analysts have advised traders to refrain from interacting with Balancer pools until further information is released, warning that additional vulnerabilities may still be present. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Meanwhile, Balancer’s native token, BAL, has declined by over 15% in the past 24 hours, due to both shaky market conditions and investor unease with the latest eight-figure exploit. Worryingly, this is not Balancer’s first encounter with hackers. In fact, the platform has now suffered three major security incidents in five years, an unsettling record for one of DeFi’s longest-running protocols. In 2020, attackers exploited Balancer’s handling of deflationary tokens, draining roughly $500,000. Then, in 2023, another vulnerability in its “boosted pools” led to $900,000 in losses despite prior security warnings. The latest $70M attack dwarfs those previous incidents, making it Balancer’s most severe exploit to date and one of the largest DeFi hacks of 2025. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 Update to the Balancer Hack: More Funds Drained Across Multiple Networks Update: @Balancer and its forks are under attack, with total losses across multiple chains reaching ~$128.64M so far. https://t.co/67XGX5RcRR pic.twitter.com/FIwx20ALSz — PeckShieldAlert (@PeckShieldAlert) November 3, 2025 Multiple blockchain analysts have released an update on the Balancer breach within the last hour. As of now, over $128 million has been drained by the hacker across multiple chains to which the Balancer protocol is forked. Over $99M has now been stolen from Ethereum, while $12.8M has been drained from Berachain, $6.8M from Arbitrum, $3.9M from Base, $3.4M from Sonic, $1.58M from Optimism, and $232K from Polygon. The hack on the smaller chains represents a significant percentage of the network’s TVL (Total Value Locked). For example, per DefiLlama data, Sonic has just $150M in TVL and has been drained for $3.4M, approximately 2% of the total value locked on the network. It is concerning from an optics point of view that the attack appears to be still ongoing, with more funds being lost even now, and no update from the Balancer team since 10:00 UTC.

As of October 12th at 6:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 3,032,188 ETH at $4,154 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $135 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and unencumbered cash of $104 million. BitMine crypto holdings reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc (MSTR), which owns 640,031 BTC valued at $73 billion. BitMine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. “The crypto liquidation over the past few days created a price decline in ETH, which BitMine took advantage of. We acquired 202,037 ETH tokens over the past few days pushing our ETH holdings to over 3 million, or 2.5% of the supply of ETH,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine. “We are now more than halfway towards our initial pursuit of the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH.” The GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold. Bitmine also published the October Chairman’s Message. This month, we are posting Chairman Lee’s keynote at Token2049 held in Singapore, where Lee discusses the Ethereum Supercycle. The related presentation is also posted on the BitMine website. “Volatility creates deleveraging and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals, or as we say, ‘substantial discount to the future’ and this creates advantages for investors, at the expense of traders,” continued Lee. “This Chairman’s Message explains our framework for why we see Ethereum in a Supercycle driven by the AI and Wall Street moving into the blockchain.” BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $3.5 billion (5-day average, as of October 10, 2025), ranking #22 in the US, behind Coinbase (rank #21) and ahead of UnitedHealth (rank #23) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research). “BitMine continues to attract institutional investor capital as our high liquidity is appealing. The combined trading volume share of BitMine and MSTR is now 88% of all global DAT trading volume. We continue to lead our crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of our stock,” said Lee.

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, today announced that it has officially secured the Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) of the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Bybit becomes the first crypto exchange to obtain this full license from the SCA, marking a historic milestone in the nation’s vision to establish itself as a global digital asset hub. This licensing brings along with the full product capability of Bybit’s existing global products and services into compliance. This symbolic milestone demonstrates Bybit’s assurance to users that it is committed to high standards of quality, product and service arising from rigorous compliance frameworks found not just in UAE but also globally. It also demonstrates Bybit’s long term global strategy of being locally enshrined and its commitment to bringing crypto to local markets. Bybit initially received its In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the SCA in February 2025 with the help of the Blockchain Centre, Abu Dhabi, in navigating SCA’s robust framework. The full license demonstrates the regulator’s trust in Bybit’s robust security infrastructure, operational transparency, and rigorous compliance standards. This achievement follows a series of regulatory milestones for Bybit in 2025 — including securing its MiCAR license in May and resuming full trading operations in India in September — as the exchange continues to expand its presence under a compliance-first roadmap across key global jurisdictions. Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, said: “Receiving the full Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the SCA is a testament to Bybit’s unwavering commitment to building trust through compliance and transparency. The UAE has emerged as a global leader in digital asset regulation, and this recognition underscores the strength of our security and governance standards. At Bybit, we see regulation as the foundation for sustainable growth. This milestone marks another step forward in our global regulatory roadmap — from MiCAR in Europe to India and now the UAE — as we continue to set new benchmarks for a secure and responsible digital asset ecosystem.” Helen Liu, Co-CEO of Bybit, added: “We sincerely thank the Securities and Commodities Authority for their trust and support throughout the licensing process. The SCA’s clear, robust, and well-structured regulatory framework provides a strong foundation for global exchanges like Bybit to operate with confidence and clarity. This achievement would not have been possible without the SCA’s forward-thinking approach to fostering innovation and compliance in the digital asset space. We look forward to deepening our collaboration as we bring more resources, products, and expertise to the UAE market.” Bybit’s Upcoming Plan in UAE Under the SCA’s Virtual Asset Platform Operator License, Bybit will offer regulated virtual asset trading, brokerage, custody, and fiat conversion services to both retail and institutional clients across the UAE. The exchange plans to expand its local footprint by establishing a larger regional operations center in Abu Dhabi with over 500 employees across Abu Dhabi and Dubai, accelerating local hiring across compliance, operations, and customer service, and introducing new education and Web3 innovation programs in collaboration with local partners. Bybit’s continued investment in talent, technology, and infrastructure reaffirms its long-term commitment to supporting the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for digital assets and financial innovation. #Bybit / #TheCryptoArk About Bybit Bybit is the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, serving a global community of over 60 million users.
