2+ hour, 13+ min ago (833+ words) Despite famed meme status, Dogecoin ETF starts with zero new capital, signaling trouble for upcoming crypto funds. Wall Street has finally built a bridge to the internet's most famous meme coin, but on day one, no one crossed it. On Nov. 24, Grayscale's Dogecoin ETF (GDOG) began trading on the NYSE Arca without logging a single unit of net creation, a stark signal that the appetite for "meme-beta" in a regulated wrapper may be vastly overestimated. The muted debut comes at a perilous moment for the industry, which is preparing to unleash over 100 similar single-token products into a market currently bleeding nearly $2 billion a week. While the ticker appeared active on terminal screens, the underlying plumbing told a different story. According to SoSoValue data, the fund recorded approximately $1.41 million in secondary trading volume. Indeed, this figure fell drastically short of expectations....

15+ hour, 59+ min ago (1316+ words) Shorter bears, sharper floors: why $49k could print early, and what would flip the tape. For all the talk that this cycle is somehow "different," the structure of Bitcoin's market still looks unmistakably cyclical to me. Each top brings the same chorus claiming the cycle model is dead, and each cooling phase renews the idea that liquidity alone now sets the trajectory. But the evidence keeps pointing the other way. Bears may be getting shorter, cadence may be compressing, and new all-time highs may keep creeping earlier in each epoch, yet the underlying rhythm hasn't disappeared. My working view is simple: the next true bear-market bottom will still be the lowest print of the cycle, and that print likely isn't in yet. As the last cycle bottomed in 2023 and the halving delivered an all-time high ahead of schedule, a compressed downturn…...

18+ hour, 34+ min ago (638+ words) With 79.6% of SOL supply underwater, Solana plans accelerated deflation to curb market volatility. Solana is facing a market structure crisis, as the vast majority of its investors are underwater. This comes at a time when the blockchain has successfully courted Wall Street through spot Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and is enjoying significant market momentum. However, the SOL native token is buckling under a sustained selloff that has left it facing a 32% monthly drawdown and a broader risk-off environment that has pinned Bitcoin around $80,000. As a result, the network's developers have proposed a radical shift in SOL's monetary policy that would accelerate its transition to scarcity. The pain in the SOL market is visible on-chain. As the token trades around $129, market intelligence firm Glassnode estimates that roughly 79.6% of the circulating supply is currently held at an unrealized loss. In a Nov. 23 tweet…...

21+ hour, 23+ min ago (833+ words) A suspect posing as a delivery worker entered a Mission Dolores home near 18th and Dolores around 6:45 a.m. on Nov. 22, restrained the resident, and stole a phone, laptop, and about $11 million in cryptocurrency, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. San Francisco police had not announced arrests or provided asset details as of Sunday, and no chain or token mix has been disclosed. Physical attacks on crypto owners are far from isolated, with a concerning trend emerging. Even when a robbery begins at a front door, the money often moves across public ledgers, where it can be traced, creating a race between laundering paths and the tightening freeze-and-trace tools that matured in 2025. USDT on TRON remains central to that calculus. Industry-wide capacity to freeze capacity has expanded this year through cooperation among issuers, networks, and analytics firms, and the "T3" Financial Crime Unit has…...

23+ hour, 29+ min ago (916+ words) Bitcoin defends $85k: squeeze to $92.8k or one more step to $79k? Bitcoin bounced off $85,000 over the weekend and stayed within the $87k to $89.6k decision zone. The move keeps price pinned between nearby liquidity shelves on the attached 30-minute map, with the first overhead cap clustered at $92.8k to $93.4k and a ladder of supports down through $84k, $82.5k to $81.5k, and the $79k shelf. Derivatives positioning remains cautious, U.S. spot-ETF flows have cooled after heavy red prints, and macro clarity is limited following the cancellation of the October CPI release. That mix leaves a relief push to $92.8k on the table while keeping $79k in play if flows and funding deteriorate. Options markets place notable probability on year-end under $90k and show concentrated put interest at $85k, reinforcing the gravity of this area. Flows set the tone into late November. BlackRock's IBIT logged a record single-day $523 million outflow on Nov. 19, the largest since launch,…...

1+ day, 1+ hour ago (1035+ words) EFT impact and "crypto-per-share" focus redefine corporate treasury strategies in the crypto market. Investors long paid premiums for Digital Asset Treasury firms, seeing them as practical substitutes for holding Bitcoin when direct access was limited. That approach worked when regulated channels were scarce and corporate balance sheets offered the closest approximation to holding the asset itself. But according to Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management, the conditions that once supported those valuations have fundamentally changed. In a valuation framework released on Nov. 23, Hougan argued that the $130 billion sector now faces a structural shift. While the forces pushing DATs below the value of their crypto holdings, illiquidity, operating costs, and execution risk, are constant across the model, the factors that can lift valuations above parity are limited and uncertain. The natural state of a passive treasury, he wrote,…...

1+ day, 16+ hour ago (1128+ words) Sheffield Crown Court sentenced a trio on Nov. 18, police say nearly the full haul was seized. We break down the "delivery driver" ruse, and how to harden your setup. The playbook was simple enough to work once: dress as delivery drivers, knock on the door, force entry at gunpoint, and extract private keys under threat. In June 2024, three men executed that script at a residential address in the UK and walked away with more than $4.3 million in cryptocurrency. Five months later, Sheffield Crown Court sentenced Faris Ali and two accomplices after the Metropolitan Police recovered nearly the entire haul. The case, documented by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, now sits as a reference point for a question the industry has avoided: what does operational security look like when your net worth lives in a browser extension and your home address is public…...

1+ day, 18+ hour ago (1142+ words) Japan is quietly preparing the most pro-crypto shift of any G7 nation. According to multiple reports from local media, the Financial Services Agency (FSA) is drafting a sweeping reclassification of digital assets that would bring Bitcoin, Ethereum, and around 100 other tokens under the same umbrella as stocks and investment funds. If the plan moves forward, Japan will treat these tokens as "financial products" starting in 2026, and with that comes a flat 20% tax, insider trading rules, and institutional pathways that could open the doors for banks, insurers, and public companies. For years, crypto in Japan has been operating in a regulatory gray zone. It has been tolerated, taxed heavily, and kept at arm's length by the country's most powerful financial institutions. Under the current system, crypto gains are taxed as miscellaneous income, with marginal rates that can reach 55%. The shift to a…...

1+ day, 20+ hour ago (1382+ words) Eric Chen and the Injective team are using vibe coding to remap how software gets created, built, and shipped in web3. If you've been anywhere near tech Twitter this year, you've probably heard someone talk about "vibe coding." Maybe you scrolled past the viral memes, caught Karim's thread about it reshaping web3, or even noticed that Collins Dictionary anointed it as their Word of the Year. But strip away the hype, what is vibe coding actually making possible? And who are the people putting it to real work? To find out, I caught up with Eric Chen, cofounder of Injective, whose team just dropped a barrage of new products, including iBuild, an AI-powered development platform that lets you build and deploy apps without writing a line of code. Chen launches into our conversation with a mix of unfiltered excitement and grounded pragmatism,…...
