For years, Ripple was best known for its legal battles and its token, XRP, which was a symbol of crypto’s friction with the traditional financial world. Now, after years of courtroom and regulatory turbulence, Ripple has quietly built something far more ambitious: a full-stack institutional financial platform that resembles a 21st-century investment bank, albeit without a bank charter yet. With...
Crypto Twitter is filled with claims that “everyone is buying Bitcoin”, from Michael Saylor and BlackRock to entire countries and even banks. Yet despite the accumulation narratives, Bitcoin’s price has slipped sharply, breaking below key levels as ETF flows turned negative. The contradiction between bullish headlines and falling prices emphasizes a crucial point: in markets driven by liquidity...
Bitcoin traded at $100,640.15 as of press time, down 5.6% in the past 24 hours, after briefly losing the $100,000 price threshold on Binance futures for the first time since June 23. The sell-off wiped billions from the broader crypto market as traders confronted a three-month high in the dollar, equity weakness, and a four-day streak of spot ETF outflows totaling roughly $1.34 billion. The...
October closed roughly 4% down for Bitcoin, yet venture funding hit $5.1 billion in the same month, the second-strongest month since 2022. According to CryptoRank data, three mega-deals account for most of it, as October defied its own seasonal mythology. Bitcoin fell 3.7% during a month traders have nicknamed “Uptober” for its historical winning streak, breaking a pattern that had held since...
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...
