Japan’s 10-year bond yields surged to 1.86%, the highest since 2008, threatening to unwind the yen carry trade that funneled trillions into risk assets. Japanese government bond yields have jumped to their highest level in decades, prompting some analysts to speculate that it could be behind the recent crypto market sell-off on Sunday. Japan’s 10-year government bond yield hit 1.86% on Monday, its highest level since April 2008, according to MarketWatch. Yields in the 10-year bonds have almost doubled in Japan over the past 12 months. Japan’s two-year bond yields also hit 1% for the first time since 2008. Read more -

The comments followed S&P's downgrade of USDt's ability to maintain its peg, which cited Tether's Bitcoin and gold reserves as a concern. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and market analysts pushed back against S&P Global’s downgraded rating of USDt’s (USDT) ability to maintain its US dollar peg, saying that the ratings agency did not account for all of Tether’s assets and revenues. The Tether Group’s total assets at the end of Q3 2025 totaled about $215 billion, while its total stablecoin liabilities were about $184.5 billion, according to Ardoino, who referenced Tether’s Q3 attestation report. He added: S&P made the same mistake of not considering the additional Group Equity, nor the roughly $500 million in monthly base profits generated by US Treasury yields alone,” Ardoino continued.

Although most models projected ETH prices above $4,000, one critical valuation model bucked the trend, signaling that ETH may be overvalued. The native token of the Ethereum network, Ether (ETH), is undervalued in nine out of 12 commonly used valuation models, according to Ki Young Ju, a market analyst and CEO of crypto market analysis platform CryptoQuant. A composite “fair value” using all 12 valuation models prices ETH at about $4,836, an over 58% gain compared to its price at the time of this writing. Each valuation model was rated on a three-tiered scale for reliability, with three being the most reliable. Eight out of the 12 models feature a reliability rating of at least two. “These models were built by trusted experts across academia and traditional finance,” Ju said. Read more -

Strategy CEO Phong Le says Bitcoin would only be sold if the company’s stock falls below net asset value and funding options disappear, calling it a financial decision. Strategy would consider selling Bitcoin only if its stock falls below net asset value and the company loses access to fresh capital, CEO Phong Le said in a recent interview. Le told the What Bitcoin Did show that if Strategy’s multiple to net asset value (mNAV) were to slip under one and financing options dry up, unloading Bitcoin becomes “mathematically” justified to protect what he calls “Bitcoin yield per share.” However, he noted that the move would be a last resort, not a policy shift. “I would not want to be the company that sells Bitcoin,” he said, adding that financial discipline has to override emotion when markets turn hostile.

BlackRock says $2.34 billion in November outflows from IBIT are normal as demand once pushed the ETF near $100 billion. BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) closed November under pressure after experiencing heavy withdrawals, but the asset manager remains confident in its long-term outlook for the product. Speaking in São Paulo, BlackRock business development director Cristiano Castro said the company’s Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs had become one of its biggest revenue drivers, calling their growth “a big surprise” given how fast allocations surged this year. Castro’s comments followed a rough month for BlackRock’s US-listed IBIT, which logged an estimated $2.34 billion in net outflows across November. The two largest withdrawals came mid-month, with about $523 million leaving on Nov. 18 and roughly $463 million on Nov. 14. Read more -

Stablecoin yields not being overly high suggests the market hasn’t reached a “major top” and Ether may reach $3,200 in the near term, according to Santiment. Ether’s price may rise nearly 7% in the near term, as subdued stablecoin yields suggest the crypto market has yet to reach overheated conditions, according to crypto sentiment platform Santiment. “Currently, yields are low, around 4%. This indicates the market has not reached a major top and could still push higher,” Santiment said in a report on Saturday, forecasting that Ether (ETH) could revisit its $3,200 resistance level soon. This represents an approximate 6.7% increase from its price of $2,991 at the time of publication according to CoinMarketCap. Read more -

Animoca Brands is betting on altcoins amid its plans to go public, Bitcoin eyes a return to $100,000, and more: Hodler’s Digest Members of the Bitcoin community and supporters of Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, are criticizing JPMorgans proposed Bitcoin-backed notes, accusing the bank of spreading fear, uncertainty and doubt about Strategy and other crypto treasury companies. JPMorgans notes are a leveraged investment product tied to the price of Bitcoin. The product tracks BTC but amplifies the outcome, giving holders 1.5 times the gains or the losses through December 2028. The notes are slated for a December 2025 launch, according to an SEC filing. The move drew sharp criticism from the Bitcoin community, with many saying that JPMorgan is now a direct competitor to BTC treasury companies and has an incentive to marginalize companies like Strategy to promote its own structured financial product.

Self-custody of assets and financial privacy are both fundamental rights consistent with the pro-freedom philosophy on which the US was founded. Hester Peirce, a commissioner of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and head of the SEC’s Crypto Task Force, reaffirmed the right to crypto self-custody and privacy in financial transactions. “I’m a freedom maximalist,” Peirce told The Rollup podcast on Friday, while saying that self-custody of assets is a fundamental human right. She added: Peirce added that online financial privacy should be the standard. “It has become the presumption that if you want to keep your transactions private, you're doing something wrong, but it should be exactly the opposite presumption,” she said.

Information asymmetry and front-running behaviors are migrating from token markets to institutional products like DATs, warns Shane Molidor of Forgd. Crypto’s chronic insider trading problem is expanding from token launches to digital asset treasuries (DATs), as investors exploit early knowledge of upcoming corporate coin purchases. The issue runs deeper than a few bad actors, according to Shane Molidor, founder and CEO of the blockchain advisory firm Forgd. He described insider-style behavior as a structural feature of crypto markets, where prices often detach from fair value. A veteran of both Western and Asian trading desks, Molidor told Cointelegraph that many of crypto’s early institutions still treat regulation as an afterthought. “In the West, it’s ask permission rather than forgiveness,” he said. “In the East, it’s move fast, make as much money as possible and deal with the consequences later.” Read more -

Spot Bitcoin ETFs snap a four-week outflow run with $70 million in weekly inflows as Ether ETFs also turn positive and analysts flag a potential Bitcoin bottom. Spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) ended a bruising month of withdrawals with a modest turnaround, posting roughly $70 million in net inflows for the week. The reversal follows four straight weeks of heavy outflows that drained about $4.35 billion from the sector and pushed net assets sharply lower, according to data from SoSoValue. The highest weekly outflow occurred in the weeks ending on Nov. 7 and Nov. 21, 2025, with each week seeing $1.22 billion leave spot Bitcoin ETFs. On a daily basis, Bitcoin (BTC) funds registered about $71 million of net inflows on Friday, lifting cumulative inflows to nearly $57.7 billion since launch. Combined net assets have increased to nearly $119.4 billion, around 6.5% of Bitcoin’s market capitalization. Read more -

Bitcoin may be forming a local bottom as RSI nears oversold and whales open longs, fueling a possible relief rally toward the $100,000–$110,000 zone. Bitcoin may be carving out a short-term bottom after weeks of heavy selling, with one market analyst arguing that conditions are in place for a relief rally toward the $100,000–$110,000 range. In a recent video, trader Mister Crypto said Bitcoin (BTC)’s short-term structure shows signs of stabilization following what he described as “capitulation” across the market. He claimed that indicators tied to trader behavior suggest that large players have begun opening new long positions despite the sentiment plunging into extreme fear territory, a mix that has historically preceded bounces during downturns. One of the main technical signals cited is the Bitcoin Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the weekly chart, which is approaching the 30 level. “We have bottomed out for Bitcoin right here. We have been reaching the 30 level. Boom,” he said. Read more -

Arthur Hayes says Monad’s token structure makes it vulnerable to a brutal selloff, while predicting money printing will fuel the next major crypto rally. Crypto veteran Arthur Hayes has issued a warning over Monad, saying the recently launched layer-1 blockchain could plunge as much as 99% and end up as another failed experiment driven by venture capital hype rather than real adoption. Speaking on Altcoin Daily, the former BitMEX chief described the project as “another high FDV, low-float VC coin,” arguing that its token structure alone puts retail traders at risk. FDV stands for Fully Diluted Value, which is the market value of a crypto project if all its tokens were already in circulation. According to Hayes, projects with a large gap between FDV and circulating supply often experience early price spikes, followed by deep selloffs once insider tokens unlock. “It’s going to be another bear chain,” Hayes said, adding that while every new coin gets an initial pump, that does not mean it will develop a lasting ...
