Singapore – November 4, 2025 – LayerEdge, a Web3 infrastructure provider focused on zero-knowledge (zk) proof aggregation to leading layer-1 blockchain ecosystems, today announced an integration with the TRON network to bring Bitcoin-anchored security to TRON’s high-throughput ecosystem. LayerEdge’s edgenOS platform works by establishing an immutable verification framework for the network’s state...
Spot Bitcoin ETFs opened the week with -$186.5 million in net redemptions on Monday, Nov. 3, stretching a four-session drain to roughly -$1.34 billion since Oct. 29. This run shows how quickly flows can swing when a single mega-issuer turns into a seller. Data from Farside shows Monday’s outflows were effectively concentrated at IBIT, with peers essentially flat, following last week’s sequence of...
For nearly a decade, the rivalry between Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR) defined the crypto privacy movement. The two digital assets promised what Bitcoin couldn’t: true transactional anonymity, but they took very different paths to achieve it. Monero made privacy mandatory, encrypting every transaction by default. Zcash made it optional, allowing users to choose between full transparency and...
Microsoft’s $9.7 billion contract with a Texas miner reveals the new math pushing crypto infrastructure toward AI, and what it means for the networks left behind. IREN’s November 3 announcement collapses two transactions into a single strategic pivot. The first is a five-year, $9.7 billion cloud services contract with Microsoft, while the second is a $5.8 billion equipment deal with Dell to...
President Donald Trump told 60 Minutes on November 2 that China poses a competitive threat in crypto, warning that “China is getting into it very big right now.” The claim surfaces a paradox. Beijing banned crypto trading and mining in 2021, yet Trump frames the country as America’s principal rival in digital assets. The disconnect likely isn’t about secret intelligence or a policy reversal that...
Bitcoin dropped below $106,505.22 on Nov. 3, down 3.6% in 24 hours, as a strengthening US dollar and sustained ETF outflows pressured crypto across the board. As of press time, Bitcoin has lost that key support level, now trading below $104,000 for the first sustained time since June. Ethereum trades at $3,490, falling 9%, while Solana declined 13% to $159. XRP, Cardano, Dogecoin, and BNB each...
Bitcoin is having a strangely quiet year on-chain. After a wave of speculative flows in 2024, the network now moves with near-clockwork efficiency. The average block size has contracted, daily fees are less than half what they were in January, and the fee-to-reward ratio has dropped toward levels last seen in the year before the Ordinals and Inscription booms. Price, however, hasn’t followed the...
For years, Balancer stood as one of DeFi’s most reliable institutions, a protocol that had survived several bear markets, audits, and integrations without scandal. However, that credibility collapsed on Nov. 3, when the blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that Balancer and several of its forks were under an active exploit spreading across multiple chains. Within hours, more than $128...
For most of 2025, Bitcoin’s floor looked unshakable, supported by an unlikely alliance of corporate treasuries and exchange-traded funds. Companies issued stock and convertible debt to buy the token, while ETF inflows quietly soaked up new supply. Together, they created a durable demand base that helped Bitcoin defy tightening financial conditions. Now, that foundation is beginning to shift. In a...
On Oct. 31, 2025, the Radiant exploiter transferred approximately 5,411.8 ETH to Tornado Cash, a move worth roughly $20.7 million. Nine days earlier, the same cluster had moved approximately 2,834.6 ETH, equivalent to $10.8 million, after staging funds across chains and through swaps before the mixer. Neither burst looked hurried. Both looked like a careful operator testing liquidity and...
