Eric Trump shrugs off an extended crypto sell-off as American Bitcoin ramps up its holdings and climbs into the top ranks of public BTC treasuries. Eric Trump, a son of US President Donald Trump and co-founder of American Bitcoin, is undeterred by the recent downturn in the cryptocurrency markets, saying that volatility is the cost of achieving outsized returns. “I think volatility is your friend,” Trump told The Wall Street Journal in an interview, as Bitcoin (BTC) briefly fell below $95,000 and stood about 25% lower than its early-October peak. The turbulence has been worse in the altcoin segment, with major assets down from 5% to 11% — part of a weakness that began with the Oct. 10 market crash, which wiped out some $19 billion in leveraged positions.

Bitcoin drops to a six-month low as spot ETF outflows resume despite the US shutdown ending, signaling weak demand and renewed pressure on crypto markets. Cryptocurrency markets have extended their decline despite much-awaited political developments taking place in the US.

The bill provides funding to the government until Jan. 30, 2026, and gives Democrats and Republicans more time to strike a deal on broader funding plans for the year ahead. Read more -

Most crypto treasury companies today lack an operational business that generates cash flow to finance additional digital asset purchases. Real estate investor Grant Cardone is expanding its multifamily housing fund strategy that pairs a traditional commercial property with Bitcoin allocations, offering a hybrid approach to real estate and digital asset exposure. The company recently launched its fifth commercial multifamily investment property, a 366-unit multifamily housing complex that was purchased for about $235 million, with $100 million in Bitcoin (BTC) added to the fund, Cardone told Cointelegraph. Real estate’s low volatility, tax benefits, income generation and stable value combined with the high volatility of Bitcoin gives the fund the best of both worlds, allowing it to funnel rental income into more BTC purchases, Cardone said. He added: Read more -

Strategy will add to its 640,000 Bitcoin holdings by continuing to buy amid a flash crash in BTC price, Michael Saylor said. Michael Saylor, executive chair of Strategy, denied reports that the company was offloading some of its Bitcoin amid a flash crash in the cryptocurrency’s price.

The “50-year Bitcoin” joke reveals crypto’s split tempo, where the base layer ossifies while L2s and edge systems innovate rapidly. Bitcoin evolves on two clocks: slow, consensus-driven changes at the base layer and fast experimentation at the edges. Major upgrades (such as Taproot) arrive through cautious soft forks after long review. Rapid shifts such as Lightning payments and Ordinals happen without changing Bitcoin’s core rules, which is why headlines move faster than the L1. Read more -

As prominent cryptocurrency figures advocate for privacy protocols like Zcash, could the Bitcoin ecosystem revisit the reactivation of Bitcoin opcode OP_CAT? The crypto community on X has been dominated by prominent figures advocating for the adoption of Zcash as privacy becomes increasingly threatened by governments and regulators. While the Winklevoss twins, Naval Ravikant, and Balaji Srinivasan back the adoption of Zcash (ZEC), its success could spur the Bitcoin ecosystem to push for more privacy features by revisiting the reactivation of OP_CAT, according to Eli Ben-Sasson, founder of StarkWare and a renowned mathematician who helped pioneer zero-knowledge proofs. In 2014, Ben-Sasson and his co-authors published “Zerocash: Decentralized Anonymous Payments from Bitcoin.” Read more -

Some crypto industry observers believe that the Bank of England’s new proposed regulations for stablecoins are unnecessarily restrictive. The UK’s central bank, the Bank of England (BOE), has released a proposed regulatory regime for stablecoins. The consultation paper took into account the perspectives of the crypto industry, but some observers say it remains restrictive. BOE released the document on Nov. 10 — some two years after it announced the initial discussion paper. The original offered a vision for crypto that many in the industry claimed would doom the UK’s digital asset space. The BOE said that it received comments and feedback from a broad range of 46 different stakeholders, including “banks, non-bank payment service providers, payment system operators, trade associations, academia, and individuals.” Read more -

Alibaba’s global e-commerce arm is reportedly developing a bank-backed deposit token for cross-border payments as Beijing tightens its crackdown on stablecoins. The cross-border e-commerce arm of Chinese tech behemoth Alibaba is working on a deposit token amid mainland China’s crackdown on stablecoins, according to CNBC. Alibaba president Kuo Zhang told CNBC in a Friday report that the tech giant plans to use stablecoin-like technology to streamline overseas transactions. The model under consideration is a deposit token, which is a blockchain-based instrument that represents a direct claim on commercial bank deposits and is treated as a regulated liability of the issuing bank. Traditional stablecoins, which these tokens closely resemble, are issued by a private entity and backed by assets to maintain their value. The report follows JPMorgan Chase — the world’s biggest bank by market capitalization — reportedly rolling out its deposit token to institutional clients earlier this week. Read more -

Pig-butchering scams are expanding into a transnational crime model, blending trafficking and crypto laundering on a massive scale. The multibillion-dollar scam known as “pig-butchering,” once treated as a consumer-fraud issue, has crossed a new threshold and is prompting concerns over national security. In a podcast, Chainalysis head of national security intelligence, Andrew Fierman, and former prosecutor Erin West, founder of cross-sector anti-scam nonprofit Operation Shamrock, discussed how pig butchering is becoming a threat to national security. “So if anybody is touching money in any way, you’re part of this. So you need to be prepared to understand the threat and the gravity of what’s happening on a national security level,” West said, highlighting the importance of education and awareness in combating crypto scams.

Aave said compliant, audited payment pathways are crucial for onboarding new users to decentralized finance. Aave Labs became one of the first major decentralized finance (DeFi) projects to secure authorization under Europe’s new Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation, allowing the company to offer regulated stablecoin ramps across the European Economic Area (EEA).
