Singapore Sounds The Alarm: Are Stablecoins The Next Financial Threat?
Singapore’s top financial regulator has signaled a tougher stance on stablecoins, saying only fully supervised tokens should be treated as reliable money for big transactions.
Regulators are moving to separate settlement-grade instruments from the rest of the market. The message was blunt and aimed squarely at issuers that operate without strict oversight.
Regulators Draw A Clear LineAccording to Monetary Authority of Singapore Managing Director Chia Der Jiun, some unregulated stablecoins have a “patchy record of keeping their peg.”
He warned that sudden losses of confidence in those tokens can resemble money-market fund runs from 2008. Chia added that such coins are “not suitable as safe settlement assets for large wholesale transactions.”
His remarks came in a keynote at the Singapore FinTech Festival and make clear that the city-state intends to favor well-capitalized, closely supervised issuers for settlement uses.
Rules Focus On Reserves And RedemptionBased on reports, MAS is preparing legislation that builds on a regulatory framework released on Aug. 15. The framework sets reserve backing and redemption reliability as the main tests for eligibility. In short: issuers must show credible backing and practical ways for users to redeem tokens.
Over time, Chia said, if certain stablecoins grow big enough to affect the wider system, rules will need tightening and cross-border cooperation will be required. Access to central bank facilities was mentioned as a possible future step for truly systemic tokens.
Numbers Point To Bigger StakesAccording to a Binance Research report, the global stablecoin market passed $300 billion in total capitalization in October 2025. Daily average transaction volumes reached $3.1 trillion.
Monthly stablecoin payments have topped $10 billion as of August 2025, with 63% of that volume tied to B2B activity. These numbers show why regulators are paying attention.
They also help explain why USDT and USDC remain dominant players as use moves beyond trading into payments and business flows. Bitcoin’s rise above $120,000 has also been cited as one factor increasing overall market activity.
CBDCs And Tokenized Bank Money On The TableChia also outlined MAS’s broader view of settlement assets, mentioning wholesale central bank digital currency and tokenized bank liabilities.
The regulator’s BLOOM initiative — Borderless, Liquid, Open, Online, Multicurrency — is testing how those instruments might work together inside a tokenized finance system.
Financial firms and clearing networks were urged to run trials under the initiative so practical issues can be spotted early.

Bitcoin Miner Inflows Ramp Up: $7 Billion Sent To Binance
On-chain data shows Bitcoin miner Binance deposits have been at elevated levels recently, a potential sign that this group is selling.
Bitcoin Miners Have Sent 71,000 BTC To Binance In NovemberAs explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, November has seen the miners send a notable amount of Bitcoin to cryptocurrency exchange Binance. The on-chain metric of interest here is the “Miner to Exchange Flow,” which measures the total number of tokens that wallets connected to miners are sending to a given centralized exchange.
When the value of this metric is high, it means the chain validators are sending large amounts to the platform. Generally, miners transfer to an exchange when they want to sell, so this kind of trend can have a bearish impact on the BTC price.
On the other hand, the indicator being at a low level suggests miners aren’t making that many deposits to the exchange. Such a trend can be a sign that this cohort is choosing to hold BTC, which can naturally be bullish for the cryptocurrency.
Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Miner to Exchange Flow for Binance, the largest digital asset exchange by trading volume:
As displayed in the above graph, the Binance Bitcoin Miner to Exchange Flow has seen spikes of a significant scale in this month so far, particularly concentrated around the post-crash lows.
Given the timing, it’s possible that miners made the transactions to panic sell. In total, these chain validators have transferred 71,000 BTC to the exchange, worth more than $7 billion.
November’s inflows are only a continuation of the trend from October, when miners deposited a total of 200,000 BTC across the month. Miners are entities that need to regularly sell to pay off their running costs in the form of electricity bills, so some distribution from them is normal. The scale at which they have deposited to Binance recently, however, may be worth noting.
The inflows into Binance this month have coincided with a decline in the Bitcoin Hashrate, a measure of the total amount of computing power connected to the network by the miners. This metric may be considered as a gauge for the sentiment among the chain validators.
Bitcoin miners pushed the Hashrate to a new all-time high (ATH) in October, but the price decline that has followed since, as well as the fact that the network Difficulty has spiked, has forced miners to pull back on their upgrades.
BTC PriceBitcoin has seen another setback during the past day as its price has retraced to the $101,300 level.

Coinbase Just Triggered A Major Crypto Turning Point, Bitwise Warns
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan says crypto may have just crossed into a new structural era—and he argues that Coinbase is the catalyst. In a November 11 memo titled “The Next Big Disruption From Crypto,” Hougan writes that he “caught a glimpse of the future this week,” identifying a fourth major crypto-driven disruption: capital formation.
Hougan frames the development within his long-running meta thesis that crypto is “going to reinvent the fundamental aspects of finance.” He highlights Bitcoin as “reinventing gold,” stablecoins as “reinventing dollars,” and tokenization as “reinventing trading and settlement.” He stresses that crypto remains early in each cycle but says the endgame is already visible: “I expect that eventually most assets will be tokenized, most dollars will move on stablecoin rails, and bitcoin will be as widely accepted as gold.”
What changed this week, he argues, is the emergence of a viable, institutionalized ICO model. “We added a fourth category: capital formation,” Hougan writes. “I think it will be a defining theme of crypto in 2026.”
To make that case, Hougan revisits the traditional IPO market—one he describes as “sclerotic and heavily skewed against individual investors.” Institutions fund VCs, VCs fund the best startups, startups stay private for years, and retail is left with scraps at the end. “Retail only gets to participate at the end of the journey,” he writes, in a system weighed down by “seemingly infinite regulations.”
A Crypto Plot Twist: Coinbase Revives ICOsCrypto attempted to break this pattern once before. “It was—let’s be honest here—a complete disaster,” he says about the 2017–2018 ICO boom. “The vast majority of ICOs turned out to be scams.” With no guardrails, “charlatans raised billions from the unsuspecting public,” eventually forcing the SEC to intervene. “Its massive crackdown in 2018 destroyed the ICO trend and drove crypto into a deep bear market.”
But Hougan insists the failure masked an underlying truth. “As bad as ICOs were, they did prove something interesting: Crypto could be used to raise capital rapidly for new projects.” ICOs showed a model that was “lower-cost, faster, and more egalitarian” than IPOs, even if the execution was fatally flawed.
The difference today, he argues, is regulatory intent and institutional architecture. Hougan highlights SEC Chairman Paul Atkins—formerly co-chair of the Token Alliance and a board member at Securitize—as a driving force behind new thinking. In July, Atkins called for “new regulations and safe harbors that would allow high-quality ICOs to happen.” According to Hougan, Atkins argued that “if we can fix what went wrong with ICOs 1.0, we could see a boom in new capital formation—all led by crypto.”
That is the backdrop for Coinbase’s move. “On Monday, Coinbase took the first major step toward making this a reality,” Hougan writes. Coinbase unveiled a new platform that will launch one “fully-vetted” token sale per month, with enforced team disclosures, mandatory lockups for insiders, and a standardized screening process. “In short,” Hougan says, “through self-regulation, it aims to fix a lot of what was wrong with the 2017-2018 ICO era.”
He is explicit about where he thinks this goes: “I bet we’ll see a half-dozen or more billion-dollar ICOs through platforms like Coinbase in 2026.” While still small relative to the traditional IPO market—“176 IPOs in the US raised $33 billion in 2024”—Hougan argues that even a handful of successful ICOs would prove a structural point: “Entrepreneurs can raise capital directly from investors, often at better terms than they would in the traditional IPO market.”
On the investment side, Hougan points first to Coinbase itself. “The obvious investment is in Coinbase,” he writes, describing the company not just as a brokerage but a multi-lane financial infrastructure giant: “It’s not just the Charles Schwab of Crypto; it’s Charles Schwab + Goldman Sachs + NYSE + …”
He also sees upside for base-layer ecosystems: “A healthy ICO market will bode well for the largest programmable blockchains, like Ethereum and Solana.”
Yet the larger thesis is index-level. “An ICO renaissance,” he writes, “is another major proof point for crypto as a whole.” Crypto’s narrative grew stronger as stablecoins and tokenization matured; billions raised through vetted ICOs would strengthen it further. His advice: “Don’t try to pick the horse; bet on the race.”
At press time, the total crypto market cap stood at $3.42 trillion.

XRP Enters New Phase as Whale Accumulation Gives Way to Retail Volatility – Analyst
XRP has taken center stage this week as the broader crypto market faces intensified selling pressure. Despite the volatility, a major breakthrough has arrived: Canary Capital’s XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has officially received regulatory approval, marking a historic step for the asset.
On November 12, 2025, Nasdaq certified the product for listing, paving the way for trading to begin on November 13 under the ticker XRPC — establishing the first-ever spot XRP ETF on a US exchange.
This milestone represents a turning point not only for Ripple’s ecosystem but also for broader crypto adoption in traditional finance. The approval follows years of regulatory scrutiny surrounding XRP and its legal status, signaling growing institutional acceptance of the asset as a legitimate digital commodity.
While the announcement has reignited optimism among investors, XRP’s price remains under short-term pressure as traders weigh macroeconomic risks and profit-taking from early entrants.
Still, analysts view the ETF launch as a potential catalyst for renewed liquidity and market participation, which could help stabilize sentiment and attract fresh inflows. With trading set to begin imminently, all eyes are now on how XRPC performs in its debut — and how the market reacts.
Whales Front-Run the XRP ETF While Retail Rushes In After the NewsAccording to a recent CryptoQuant report by analyst Woominkyu, the behavior of large investors around the XRP Spot ETF announcement reveals a familiar pattern in crypto markets — whales moved first, retail followed after. Futures data shows that in the days leading up to the ETF’s approval, there was a clear rise in whale-sized orders, indicating that major players had begun positioning early while XRP’s price remained compressed and liquidity was low.
However, once the ETF announcement went public, retail-sized orders surged, signaling that smaller traders entered the market after the news broke. This dynamic — whales buying early and retail piling in later — often creates a volatile and less predictable environment.
When sentiment-driven buying overlaps with previously informed capital flows, short-term corrections and erratic moves tend to follow.
The launch of the XRPC ETF accelerated this shift, bringing in new participants who had been waiting on the sidelines.
While this doesn’t necessarily mark the end of XRP’s move, it does highlight a transition phase, where the balance of power between institutional accumulation and retail speculation will determine the next direction. The coming weeks will test whether whales choose to hold or start taking profits.
Bulls Find Support at $2.30The weekly XRP chart shows the asset consolidating near $2.50, holding firm above its key support zone around $2.30 following the recent ETF-driven rally. The launch of the Spot ETF triggered sharp volatility, but the structure now suggests stabilization as the market digests this historic milestone.
From a technical perspective, the price remains in a mid-term bullish structure, with the 50-week moving average (blue line) acting as immediate dynamic support. Despite recent corrections from highs near $3.50, buyers have consistently stepped in at lower levels, signaling strong interest from institutional participants following the ETF approval.
A decisive weekly close above $2.70 could open the door for another leg higher toward $3.20–$3.50, where the next resistance cluster lies.
However, if the $2.30 zone fails to hold, the next significant area of demand sits around $1.90, aligning with the 100-week moving average (green line). Given current conditions, XRP appears to be entering a reaccumulation phase, with volatility compressing as traders wait for confirmation of the next move.

Ethereum (ETH) Rebounds as 43-Day U.S. Shutdown Ends, Vitalik Buterin Outlines Scaling Roadmap
Ethereum (ETH) is showing renewed strength after the U.S. government ended its historic 43-day shutdown, an event that had weighed heavily on investor confidence across global markets.
Related Reading: Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Is Just Around The Corner—What To Expect
ETH price is currently hovering above the $3,400 support zone after a volatile week marked by ETF outflows, declining volume, and intense bearish sentiment.
Shutdown Resolution Lifts Market Sentiment as ETH Reclaims StabilityThe broader crypto market reacted positively to news of the shutdown’s resolution, helping Ethereum climb 3.18% on the day and outperform Bitcoin with a 3% gain. Analysts now expect ETH to rise toward $3,814 by November 18, representing a potential 10.37% short-term upside.
Despite the improved macro backdrop, Ethereum remains in a challenging technical position. Key support lies at $3,333 and $3,300, while resistance at $3,590 and $3,666 will determine whether ETH can break its current downtrend.
ETF products continue to show weakness, with all nine Ethereum ETFs recording zero inflows and a combined $107 million in outflows, suggesting institutions remain cautious.
Vitalik Buterin Unveils Scaling Outlook as DeFi Matures GloballyEthereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin added optimism to the week by outlining a refreshed scaling roadmap and highlighting DeFi’s evolution into a viable global savings tool.
He emphasized that the DeFi ecosystem is now “night and day” safer compared to 2020, citing better security audits, stronger protocols, and improved user-fund recovery mechanisms through innovations like the “walkaway test.”
Central to Buterin’s roadmap is Ethereum’s ongoing Layer 1 and Layer 2 scaling strategy. With rollups, data availability upgrades, and new high-throughput solutions, such as systems already achieving over 10,000 transactions per second, Buterin believes Ethereum is on track to support the next wave of DeFi adoption.
He urged developers to maintain Ethereum’s core values: openness, censorship resistance, and interoperability. Buterin warned that abandoning these principles risks turning Ethereum into a “walled garden,” undermining the ecosystem’s global mission.
Institutional RWA Demand Surges as ETH Eyes Breakout Above $3,700A growing bright spot for Ethereum is the explosive expansion of tokenised real-world assets (RWAs). More than $200 billion worth of RWAs now sit on-chain, driven by major institutions such as BlackRock and Fidelity.
The BUIDL fund’s tokenised Treasury products, built natively on Ethereum, showcase the network’s rising importance in traditional finance. Institutional RWA assets have surged nearly 2,000% since January 2024, strengthening Ethereum’s long-term fundamentals even as short-term volatility persists.

Technically, Ethereum remains in a descending channel from its failed August rally toward $5,000. Analysts note that a decisive breakout above $3,700 could flip market structure bullish and reopen paths toward $4,700, especially if macro stability continues after the shutdown settlement.

Early Bitcoin Whale Sells Over $600M in BTC After 13 Years of Holding
Bitcoin continues to face strong resistance as it struggles to reclaim higher supply levels, with price action stalling below the $105,000 mark. The market remains caught between cautious optimism and lingering fear, as selling pressure persists but downside momentum appears to be fading. According to on-chain data from Arkham Intelligence, whales have continued to offload significant portions of their holdings in recent days, contributing to the ongoing headwinds in the market.
However, despite this selling activity, analysts note growing signs of buyer absorption around the $100,000 zone, where strong demand has repeatedly prevented further declines. This balance between distribution and accumulation has split analyst opinions — some expect Bitcoin to dip further before stabilizing, while others see this phase as a reaccumulation zone that could precede a move toward new all-time highs.
As the market navigates this critical stage, liquidity concentration and whale behavior remain key indicators to watch. If selling pressure continues to ease and demand sustains near current levels, Bitcoin could be setting the foundation for its next major impulse.
OG Whale Sells $600 Million in Bitcoin Amid Market UncertaintyAccording to data from Arkham Intelligence, one of Bitcoin’s earliest and most prominent holders, Owen Gunden, has recently offloaded a significant portion of his holdings — a move that has caught the attention of market analysts.
Gunden, who has held Bitcoin since late 2011, was sitting on approximately 11,450 BTC valued at $1.4 billion just a month ago. However, recent on-chain activity shows that he has sold around 6,100 BTC, worth roughly $616 million, reducing his holdings to $542 million.
This large-scale selloff comes at a critical time for Bitcoin, as the asset consolidates near the $100,000–$105,000 range amid mounting selling pressure from whales. Gunden’s decision to take profit after over a decade of holding suggests a combination of profit realization and market caution, particularly as macro uncertainty and liquidity stress weigh on risk assets.
While some view this as a bearish signal, others argue that such sales often mark the late stages of a distribution phase, where long-term holders transfer coins to new investors during consolidation. If Bitcoin maintains strong support near $100K despite this heavy selling, it could indicate deep market demand and the potential for a renewed accumulation phase.
Bitcoin Consolidates as Bulls Defend the $100K LevelThe daily Bitcoin chart shows that BTC remains in a consolidation phase, trading around $103,000 after multiple attempts to rebound from the $100,000 psychological support zone. Despite persistent selling pressure and fading momentum, buyers continue to absorb liquidity near this level, keeping the structure relatively stable.
Price action shows a series of lower highs since mid-September, reflecting ongoing market hesitation and the dominance of short-term sellers. The 50-day and 100-day moving averages (blue and green lines) are currently acting as dynamic resistance levels, with BTC repeatedly failing to close above them. Meanwhile, the 200-day moving average (red line) provides a long-term anchor, currently positioned near $98,000, which remains the next major support level to watch.
Until then, the market is likely to remain range-bound, consolidating within the $100K–$105K corridor. A breakdown below $100K could trigger further downside pressure, while a successful defense may set the stage for a recovery toward the $110K–$115K range in the coming weeks.

Here’s The $2 Trillion Market That Shiba Inu Just Moved Into
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has taken a bold leap and entered a $2 trillion market with a new partnership that could reshape its future trajectory. According to reports, the SHIB ecosystem is now expanding into the telecommunications sector through its alliance with Unity Nodes, signaling a significant shift from speculative trading and investments toward real-world functionality. This development positions the popular memes coin at the forefront of a multi-trillion-dollar industry that powers global connectivity and digital infrastructure.
Shiba Inu Enters $2 Trillion Market With Unity NodesA publication released on Tuesday, November 11, reveals that Shiba Inu has officially partnered with Unity Nodes, a decentralized telecommunications network. This alliance marks a pivotal moment for SHIB as it transitions from a community-driven meme coin to a technology-integrated digital asset with practical use cases.
More importantly, through this collaboration, Shiba Inu has entered a telecom quality assurance market estimated to be worth around $2 trillion annually. The partnership introduces direct utility to SHIB while offering new earning opportunities for its holders. Moreover, the move strengthens the meme coin’s position in a sector that relies on continuous innovation and large-scale infrastructure.
Notably, the report indicates that Unity Nodes operates a blockchain-based mobile edge network that spans multiple countries and carriers. Its system enables everyday users to participate in verifying and improving telecom infrastructure through decentralized participation.
Additionally, the network operates within a structured framework, where users can install the Unity application on their mobile devices to make verification calls that pass through specific nodes. Switch Nodes handle call routing, Validation Nodes ensure each device functions properly, and finally, Earth Nodes log any performance issues.
This data is then stored on-chain to create a transparent Proof-of-Service record that telecom operators can access through an API. In return, users earn crypto rewards for helping test and maintain the network.
New Utility And Rewards For The SHIB CommunityAccording to the publication, Shiba Inu’s partnership with Unity Nodes comes with a series of exclusive benefits designed for token holders. Notably, SHIB is now accepted as a payment method within Unity Nodes through a decentralized gateway built in accordance with the official brand standards.
Users will also be able to purchase Nodes using Shiba Inu and receive SHIB-branded NFT licenses that can be freely traded on secondary markets. This provides greater visibility and expands the cryptocurrency’s presence across blockchain platforms.
Unity Node payments completed with Shiba Inu also come with additional advantages. Rather than receiving 200 Unity Licenses per node, users who pay with SHIB tokens can earn more at no extra cost, including a 5% license bonus, which further encourages token use within the telecom network.
Alongside this, rewards for Unity Node operators can be distributed directly in SHIB. What’s more, the Shiba Inu team automatically earns referral rewards when purchases are made using its official referral code, granting them Unity Licenses that can be used, leased, or traded.
149 Million XRP Exit Crypto Exchanges In One Day, What’s Going On?
The amount of XRP held on centralized exchanges has dropped sharply in recent days, creating a noticeable shift in the asset’s on-chain profile ahead of a major milestone for the cryptocurrency. Data shows that more than 149 million XRP, worth roughly $336 million, exited exchanges within a 24-hour window.
The movement comes at a time when market conditions are somewhat choppy, yet accumulation trends appear to be strengthening as investors are likely adjusting positions ahead of a potential new source of demand. This potential new source of demand is the possible launch of a Spot XRP ETF in the US this week.
Massive XRP Outflows From Crypto ExchangesThe latest exchange-reserve data captures a significant decline of millions of XRP on crypto exchanges in the past few days, placing total reserves across tracked platforms at approximately $6.63 billion as of November 13. Such sudden outflows can only be interpreted as a sign that investors are moving tokens into private storage rather than preparing to sell.
The size of the withdrawal in recent days, more than two percent of available exchange supply, marks one of the more notable single-day reductions seen in recent months and has raised questions about where the liquidity is going.
The reserve contraction is coincidental with rising anticipation around a possible Spot XRP ETF debuting this week. Canary Capital’s Form 8-A filing gives Nasdaq the framework to list the fund as early as November 13 once regulatory procedures are finalized.
The prospect of an ETF has already become a focal point for traders, largely because similar developments for Bitcoin and Ethereum led to major inflows and surges in demand following approval. Even without a final green light, the setup alone appears to be influencing behavior on-chain, as whales and long-term holders position early in case a fresh wave of institutional interest begins to form.
Can The Price React Positively?A drop in exchange reserves this large reduces the amount of XRP immediately available for trading and creates the conditions needed to increase buying pressure. Investors who move tokens off exchanges tend to have a longer time horizon, which naturally limits short-term sell pressure.
If the ETF goes live on schedule and draws meaningful capital, the reduced supply on exchanges may intensify price reactions. Whether this translates into a sustained price uptrend depends on how much demand the ETF launch ultimately generates.
Recent examples in the market include the steady inflows into the two Spot Solana ETFs in the US, which have attracted consistent demand since their launch.
Even so, there is a growing belief among market watchers that a Spot XRP ETF could draw far deeper liquidity than its Solana counterparts, given the asset’s larger global footprint and institutional investors. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.50, up by 3.8% in the past twenty-four hours.
Crypto Users Targeted: Scammers Impersonate Police Using Australia’s Cybercrime System
Cybercriminals in Australia are exploiting the country’s official cybercrime reporting platform to impersonate federal police officers and steal cryptocurrency, prompting urgent warnings from national authorities.
The scheme, uncovered by the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and its Joint Policing Cybercrime Coordination Centre (JPC3), highlights how scammers are weaponizing legitimate systems to deceive victims with alarming precision.
Scammers Fake Police Identity Using ReportCyber DataAccording to the AFP, fraudsters are submitting false reports through ReportCyber, Australia’s official cybercrime reporting tool, using stolen personal details such as phone numbers and email addresses.
They then contact victims while posing as AFP officers, claiming the individual has been linked to a crypto-related investigation or data breach.
Detective Superintendent Marie Andersson stated that the scheme is highly convincing because scammers use genuine-looking case numbers generated from the fraudulent submissions. “They verify personal information in ways that match common expectations and act quickly to create a sense of urgency,” she noted.
In one case, scammers filed a fake report, then called the victim with a matching reference number and alleged that the individual’s name appeared in a cryptocurrency breach.
A second caller, impersonating a crypto exchange representative, reinforced the deception and urged the victim to move funds into a “secure cold wallet.” Fortunately, the targeted user hung up before transferring any money.
Police also warned that the criminals often spoof official AFP phone numbers to increase credibility.
Authorities Urge Vigilance as Scam Activity SurgesThe AFP stressed that genuine officers will never ask for access to crypto wallets, seed phrases, account passwords, or banking details. Anyone contacted about a ReportCyber submission they did not file is urged to hang up immediately and call 1300 CYBER1.
Despite the exploitation of third-party reporting features, officials emphasized that ReportCyber remains secure and continues to be a critical tool in tracking cybercriminals. Every legitimate report, they said, contributes to intelligence gathering and helps prevent future victims from being targeted.
Authorities also highlighted that individuals aged 50–70 are disproportionately affected, especially when scams involve crypto ATMs, investment schemes, and social-engineering tactics.
Australia Tightens Oversight as Crypto Scams Grow More SophisticatedThe warning comes as Australia ramps up enforcement against crypto-related crime. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke recently announced sweeping powers to regulate crypto ATMs, labeling them “high-risk products” associated with money laundering and exploitation.
Meanwhile, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has taken down more than 14,000 scam and phishing websites since 2023, including over 3,000 linked to crypto schemes. Regulators report that scammers are increasingly using AI-powered ads, fake exchanges, and impersonation attacks to lure victims.
As cybercriminals refine their social-engineering tactics, authorities say vigilance is the strongest defense. “Australians should check for warning signs and protect themselves,” Andersson said. “If something feels off, it probably is.”

If The Dogecoin Price Successfully Breaks This Zone, Then Prepare For A Strong Upward Push
The Dogecoin price has spent the past few days attempting to recover from a decline that has affected the entire industry for weeks, shifting from a clear downtrend earlier in the month into a more constructive structure. After dipping below the $0.16 region, buyers began stepping back in to form a series of higher lows and nudging the price into a tighter range between $0.17 and $0.186.
The latest candles show Dogecoin trading just beneath a resistance band around $0.186, which is the same zone that capped upside attempts throughout the week. This is where the discussion from BitGuru’s technical outlook comes in, supported by the chart he shared on the social media platform X.
Dogecoin Price Trying To Rebound From DowntrendThe Dogecoin price is starting to exhibit some sort of push off the early-month lows that saw it reach into the mid-$0.15 region. Between November 5 and 6, Dogecoin was consolidating around this region to create what looks like a bullish beauty, as shown in the price chart below.
The chart further shows how the Dogecoin price eventually broke out of this descending structure on November 7 to push toward the mid-$0.18 region. This marked the first sign that momentum was shifting away from sellers, and this might set a sustained advance that changes the tone of Dogecoin’s price action.
That transition from lower highs into a more aggressive upward slope set the foundation for the rebound now taking shape. However, Dogecoin is now pressing against an overhead resistance zone around $0.186 that first arose as a result of a downtrend order block on November 2. Technical analysis shows that this price level is now the most important barrier to break.
The chart shows a tight cluster of candles forming just beneath this level, with small intraday rejections but no meaningful breakdowns. Price action in this region carries a clear message: bulls are attempting to reclaim control, and the structure is beginning to resemble a pre-breakout consolidation.

A Break Above This Zone Could Set Off Strong RallyThe critical question now for Dogecoin’s short-term technical outlook is whether it can push cleanly above the resistance at $0.186. BitGuru’s outlook frames this zone as the key decision point.
A strong break above it would open the door for continuation, setting the Dogecoin price up for the next impulsive leg higher above $0.2. Failure to break through would not necessarily derail the developing bullish structure, but it could invite a short-lived pullback before another attempt at an upward move.
Everything now depends on how Dogecoin behaves at this price resistance, as momentum is clearly building beneath it and a decisive breakout would shift the entire short-term outlook upward.
At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.1764, up by 2.5% in the past 24 hours.
List Of 16 Blockchains That Can Freeze Your Crypto On-Chain; Bybit Report
A new study by Bybit’s Lazarus Security Lab has revealed that 16 major blockchain networks can freeze users’ crypto on-chain. This capability allows blockchain foundations or validators to step in and restrict transactions, thereby challenging the core principle of decentralization. While these freezing mechanisms are often employed to prevent hacks, and other security risks, they also raise concerns about control, transparency, and the potential reintroduction of centralized authority in decentralized networks. Bybit has disclosed that its research report is the first large-scale investigation to identify which blockchains possess freezing capabilities and how they operate.
Bybit Exposes Blockchains With Crypto-Freezing PowersIn a Press Release, Bybit released a new research, unveiling blockchains with fund freezing mechanisms and examining the impact these capabilities have in the DeFi space. The study analyzed a total of 166 different blockchain networks and found that 16 currently possess crypto freezing powers, while 19 could support similar functions in the future.
To carry out this research, Bybit’s Lazarus Security Lab team utilized an AI agent to filter blockchains through in-depth manual code reviews, as most networks do not openly document these features.
The research team categorized the freezing capabilities of the 16 blockchain networks into three main mechanisms:
- Hardcoded Freezing: It is embedded directly in blockchain’s core code, seen in networks like Chiliz (CHZ), Viction (VIC), XDC Network (XDC), Binance Coin (BNB), and VeChain (VET).
- Configuration-based Freezing: Controlled through validator or foundation settings, found in Harmony (ONE), Havah (HVH), SUPRA, APTOS (APT), EOS, Oasis (ROSE), WAX (WAXP), SUI, LINEA, and WAVES.
- On-chain Freezing: Executed via system-level contracts, present in blockchains like Huobi ECO Chain (HECO).
Bybit has reported that fund freezing occurs when a blockchain locks a user’s assets without their consent. They highlight that these capabilities give these networks a level of control similar to that of traditional banks. The team has also emphasized that the research aims to provide greater transparency on blockchains while laying the groundwork for future studies and risk assessments in the digital asset industry.
Real Cases Of Blockchain Fund FreezingBybit’s Lazarus Security Lab team has also highlighted real-world incidents where crypto freezing was used to protect users and mitigate losses. Notably, in 2025, the SUI Foundation froze $162 million in assets following the Cetus Protocol hack in May, which resulted in a loss of over $220 million. Following this, Aptos added blacklisting functions to its network.
In 2022, the BNB Chain used hardcoded blacklists to contain a $570 million bridge exploit, preventing the attacker from accessing the funds. Notably, in 2019, VeChain set an early precedent by freezing funds after a $6.1 million breach. Meanwhile, Cosmos’s modular account design may allow similar interventions in the future.
These cases demonstrate how fund-freezing functions can act as emergency tools during large-scale security incidents. Bybit points out that although centralization remains a concern, many networks are implementing practical safety measures, even if they challenge the principle of complete decentralization, which is the core tenet of blockchain technology.
Market Expert Drops Full XRP ETF Launch Calendar Into New Era

Paul Barron stated that 21Shares and CoinShares will launch their XRP ETFs between November 20 and 22. Grayscale is also expected to launch its fund sometime in late November with a management fee of 0.35%. WisdomTree, which is the last issuer, is also likely to launch around this period.
Paul Barron declared that the XRP ETF ear starts today, with Canary launching its fund. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas confirmed that Nasdaq has issued the official listing notice for Canary’s XRPC, the final step before launch. As market expert Nate Geraci noted, this fund will be the first ‘33 Act spot XRP ETF to launch. REX-Osprey had earlier launched a spot XRP ETF, but the fund doesn’t provide 100% spot exposure to institutional investors.
Meanwhile, the U.S. government shutdown has ended, which could affect the launch dates of other XRP ETFs, as the SEC could provide feedback on some of them. There is also the possibility that they could immediately get approval from the commission, which would enable them to launch faster instead of waiting for the auto-effective approval timeline.
Canary Capital’s CEO Comments On ETF LaunchCanary Capital CEO Steven McClurg stated that they are excited to go live with the first single-token spot XRP ETF. He added that this development would not have been possible without the leadership of SEC Chair Paul Atkins, Commissioner Hester Peirce, and all those at the SEC who are pro-free markets.

XRP will be the sixth crypto asset to have its ‘33 Act ETF following the launch of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Hedera, and Litecoin ETFs. Notably, Canary is the issuer for the existing Hedera and Litecoin ETFs. McClurg has predicted that the funds could see up to $10 billion in inflows in their first month of trading, which will be a huge positive for the token’s price.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.47, up almost 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
Here’s Why Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Might Trigger The Next Explosive Leg Up For ETH
In the past few weeks, Ethereum has been experiencing sideways movements, causing its price to fall below the $3,500 mark. However, with several key updates incoming, such as the Fusaka Upgrade, ETH may attract the necessary attention and adoption that will pave the way for a major rally to pivotal levels.
Fusaka Upgrade The Tipping Point For EthereumAs the broader crypto sector evolves, Ethereum is set to roll out one of its most crucial updates: The Fusaka Upgrade, which will bolster the leading network. Set to launch in December, the Fusaka update, which is intended to increase scalability, boost staking effectiveness, and reduce transaction costs, signifies another significant phase in Ethereum’s long-term plan for improved performance and decentralization.
While the impending update is pivotal, Ash Crypto, a market analyst and investor, claims it’s emerging as a potential trigger for the next major breakout in ETH’s price. “No one is talking about this, but the ETH fusaka upgrade on December 3 could be the next leg up catalyst,” the expert stated.
Ash Crypto’s bold statement is fueled by the several enhancements that the upgrade is poised to make to the Ethereum network and its ecosystem. He suggests that Fusaka’s entry into the market would reignite bullish momentum across ETH’s ecosystem that will extend to its price dynamics.
According to Ash Crypto, ETH is entering its “Performance Era” as participants anticipate the key upgrade. When the update eventually goes live, it will enable more Transactions Per Second (TPS), lower fees, higher throughput, support for additional users, and accommodate high demand.
With the launch date drawing closer, ETH whales are seen buying billions worth of ETH, which may imply a strategic positioning by high-net-worth investors ahead of major price spikes. Ash Crypto has predicted a possible price rally that is comparable to the one observed in the 2021 cycle.
In the 2021 cycle, ETH experienced a massive leg-up, taking its price from $80 to the $4,800 level. Since current market trends are mirroring 2021’s, the expert is confident that ETH could easily move up to the $7,000-$8,000 zone, especially if it surpasses and holds above $5,000.
Impending Breakout From Multi-Year FormationAfter examining Ethereum’s chart, StockTrader Max, a crypto analyst on X, reveals that ETH is about to break out from a multi-year consolidation. Specifically, ETH has been in this consolidation phase for over 5 years.
However, recent price action indicates that the altcoin looks primed to enter price discovery, triggering a rally to new all-time highs. As indicated on the chart, StockTrader Max expects ETH to skyrocket to the $8,000 price mark and beyond.
While the price has fallen below the $3,500 level, the Ethereum Fear and Greed Index has moved into Fear territory. This suggests that ETH’s market sentiment is heavily shifting toward a more cautious state, as it is caught between short-term pressure and long-term optimism. Presently, speculations are whether the fear is a warning sign or the quiet before the altcoins’ next significant action.
