Crypto investment products experienced approximately $1.2 billion in net outflows last week, with redemptions primarily focused on US spot Bitcoin ETFs. The week ending November 7 marked one of the heaviest print runs since late summer. Day-by-day ETF data shows the de-risking ran through most sessions before a brief midweek pause. US spot Bitcoin ETFs were net minus $1.21 billion across the five...
The first US spot XRP ETF moved within sight of launch after Canary XRP ETF filed Form 8-A12(b) on Nov. 10. This is a key exchange-listing step that formally registers the fund’s shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act. The document, signed by Steven McClurg, confirms that Nasdaq has approved the listing application. It also ties the product to File No. 333-282545 on the SEC’s...
Block has switched on Bitcoin payments across its Square merchant network, giving roughly 4 million sellers the ability to accept Lightning Network payments at the point of sale. The merchant selects Bitcoin at checkout, Square generates a Lightning invoice QR code, the customer pays with Cash App or any Lightning-enabled wallet, and settlement happens in seconds. The seller can keep the funds in...
BNY Mellon just joined Citi, Bernstein, and a chorus of Wall Street analysts calling for up to $3.6 trillion of digital cash by 2030. The bet is that stablecoins and tokenized deposits will become core market plumbing, replacing correspondent banking friction and lubricating corporate treasury operations. The question: does that world exist outside a slide deck, and if it does materialize, does...
Between October 28 and November 10, US spot Solana exchange-traded funds (ETFs) absorbed $343 million in net inflows across ten consecutive trading days. During that same stretch, SOL dropped from roughly $195 to touch the $145 zone. It currently sits around $159, as of press time. The divergence isn’t a bug, but the entire story. Bitcoin’s spot ETF launch validated the thesis that wrapping...
When Uniswap’s administrators filed their “UNIfication” proposal on Nov. 10, it read less like a protocol update and more like a corporate overhaul. The plan would activate dormant protocol fees, channel them through a new on-chain treasury engine, and utilize the proceeds to purchase and burn UNI tokens. This is a model that mirrors share-repurchase programs in traditional finance. A day later,...
A Senate-backed stopgap to reopen the U.S. government puts inflation data and Treasury issuance back in play for Bitcoin. The chamber advanced a continuing resolution that would fund agencies through Jan. 30, 2026, with the bill returning to the House for approval, which would restart furloughed statistical agencies and normalize auction operations. According to Time, the agreement follows a 41-...
Coinbase’s new token pre-reserve platform reopens US retail participation in public token sales for the first time since regulators shut down the ICO boom in 2018. The mechanism looks familiar, with curated projects, fixed sale windows, and algorithmic allocation. Every purchase is settled in USDC, and every token launched through the platform receives a guaranteed listing on Coinbase. However,...
Regardless of what Crypto Twitter says, DTCC pages show operational prep, not permission. Under the SEC’s new generic-listing regime, the real tells are an effective S-1 and an exchange listing notice, and that is when the clock to launch actually starts. DTCC pages listing XRP ETFs are not approvals. The entry means the clearing and settlement plumbing is getting ready in case a fund launches,...
Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has earned a reputation for making its weekly Bitcoin acquisitions near the local top in recent weeks. On Nov. 10, CryptoQuant analyst JA Marturn noted that the firm’s most recent acquisition disclosure from Michael Saylor followed the same script. According to an SEC filing, Strategy announced that it had acquired 487 BTC between Nov. 3 and Nov. 9 for $49.9...
