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 ... -

The crypto sentiment indicator has moved up from extreme fear, and other social media indicators suggest sentiment is moving more bullish toward Bitcoin. After 18 days at the bottom of a widely used crypto market sentiment index, the market appears to be showing early signs of improving sentiment. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index, which measures overall crypto market sentiment, posted a “Fear” score of 28 on Saturday, the first time since Nov. 10 that it hasn’t posted an “Extreme Fear” score. The prolonged stretch near the index’s most bearish level for the majority of November, historically Bitcoin’s (BTC) best-performing month on average, did not go unnoticed by the broader crypto community.

Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said Ethereum’s gas limit could climb beyond three times next year, with some developers pushing for a fivefold increase. Ethereum educator Anthony Sassano said the goal to significantly increase Ethereum’s gas limit to 180 million next year is a baseline rather than a best-case scenario. “I think that’s the floor, that’s the minimum, I think we can go higher than that,” Sassano said during an interview on the Bankless podcast on Friday, just a day after Ethereum’s gas limit, which is the maximum amount of work the network allows in each block, was raised from 45 million to 60 million. “The general consensus that has been set by the core developers and researchers is that they want to aim for at least a 3X increase in the gas limit for the next couple of years,” he said.

Bitwise crypto researcher André Dragosch said, “We’re staring at a similar macro setup” for Bitcoin as during the COVID-19 pandemic. Bitcoin may have significant upside from here as its current price appears to be out of step with the forward macroeconomic outlook, according to a crypto researcher. “The last time I saw such an asymmetric risk-reward was during COVID,” Bitwise Europe head of research André Dragosch said in an X post on Friday, referring to March 2020 when global pandemic fears sent Bitcoin’s (BTC) price tumbling from around $8,000 to below $5,000. Dragosch said that while Bitcoin’s current setup mirrors the extreme risk-reward conditions seen during the COVID pandemic, it is also “pricing in the most bearish global growth outlook since 2022,” pointing to a period marked by aggressive quantitative tightening from the US Federal Reserve and the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.

The UK will require crypto platforms to report all activity from domestic users starting in 2026, as global tax authorities worldwide tighten oversight of digital assets. The United Kingdom will require domestic crypto platforms to report all transactions from UK-resident users starting in 2026, expanding the scope of the Cryptoasset Reporting Framework (CARF). The change will give His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC) — the UK’s tax authority — automatic access to both domestic and cross-border crypto data for the first time, tightening tax compliance ahead of CARF’s first global information exchange in 2027. CARF, designed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is a framework for the automatic cross-border exchange of crypto transaction data between tax authorities worldwide. Its rules require crypto asset service providers to perform due diligence, verify user identities, and report detailed transaction information on an annual basis. Read more -

The fire forced the facility to go offline to maintain safety, but none of the company's mining hardware was damaged in the incident. Greenidge Generation Holdings, a Bitcoin (BTC) mining company, disclosed that a fire broke out at its mining facility in Dresden, New York, where it co-hosts operations with mining company NYDIG. The fire broke out on Sunday due to an “electrical switchgear failure,” forcing the company to de-energize the entire facility, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filing. The fire did not damage the mining rigs, and the company said it would resume normal operations within a “few weeks,” without providing specific dates. Read more -

Bitcoin recovered after four consecutive weeks in the red, surpassing the key $89,600 flow-weighted cost basis of Bitcoin ETF holders, the most significant cohort driving BTC inflows. This week, cryptocurrency markets staged a long-awaited recovery, following four consecutive weeks of downside momentum. Bitcoin’s (BTC) price reclaimed the $90,000 psychological mark on Wednesday, bringing some much-needed relief for Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) holders, who were once again back in profit as BTC traded above the key $89,600 flow-weighted cost basis of ETF buyers. Bolstering investor sentiment, Cathie Wood, the CEO and chief investment officer of ARK Invest, said the company’s $1.5 million Bitcoin bull market price prediction remained unchanged, pointing to billions in returning liquidity following the end of the US government shutdown.

Trading was halted for about 10 hours before being restored on Friday, sparking a public backlash from derivatives and commodities traders. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), the world’s largest financial derivatives exchange, halted trading for about 10 hours from Thursday into Friday, causing an outcry from traders before service was restored. Trading halted due to a “cooling issue” at the CyrusOne data center in Illinois, a US state, according to an announcement from the CME. Trading was fully restored, and trading for all markets resumed at 1:30 pm UTC on Friday, the CME said in an update. Meanwhile, traders voiced their discontent with the critical failure, which locked some users in their positions, prevented others from placing new trades, and halted price discovery. Read more -

As Tharimmune raises $540 million to build a Canton Coin treasury, the story behind the Canton Network shows that ICOs are not the only way to launch new blockchains. The blockchain ecosystem is home to several highly successful smart contract protocols, which makes the arrival of newcomers highly competitive. Canton Network is one of the newest ‘next generation layer one’ to vie for users and capital from incumbents like Ethereum and Solana. Alongside SUI and Aptos, Canton’s rise challenges the assumption that we have too many blockchains. Rooz said that the developers had taken a lot of learnings from the launches of other layer-1 protocols as well as the teething problems of established players like Ethereum. Read more -

Quantum security is moving from theory to practice as layer-1 blockchains prepare long-term plans to adopt post-quantum cryptography. Quantum computers still look like lab toys: Racks of hardware, error-prone qubits and almost no real-world applications. Yet if you check the roadmaps of major layer-1 blockchains, a new priority now sits next to scaling and modularity: post-quantum security. The concern is simple even if the math isn’t. Most major blockchains rely on elliptic-curve signatures (ECDSA and Ed25519) to prove that a transaction came from the owner of a private key. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm could, in theory, recover those private keys from their public counterparts and let an attacker sign fake transactions. Read more -

Crypto plunged over $1 trillion in weeks, but analysts say the downturn isn’t systemic and break down the macro drivers, institutional behavior and investor survival strategies. The crypto market’s most turbulent period of 2025 resulted in a drawdown that erased more than $1.2 trillion in value and sent Bitcoin (BTC) plunging from its brief $120,000 peak to the $80,000 range. For many investors, the speed and severity of the selloff stirred déjà vu from 2017 and 2022. This week’s episode of Byte-Sized Insight hears from experts that this downturn is different — and far less catastrophic — than the headlines suggest. Macro analyst and author of the Crypto is Macro Now Substack Noelle Acheson argued that the latest dip is “not a big deal” and, crucially, “not systemic.” Instead, she called it a liquidity-driven correction sparked by shifting expectations around Federal Reserve rate cuts.
