Upexi sets a price of up to $23 million for its private placement, as Solana treasury exposure creates additional market pressure.

Upexi, a Nasdaq‑listed firm focused on Solana, is launching a private placement to raise up to $23 million. The capital raise aims to bolster its balance sheet amid a prolonged crypto market downturn. Proceeds will support the company’s long‑term Solana‑centric strategy and improve liquidity. The new securities will be registered with the SEC shortly after closing. The agreement with a single institutional investor covers 3,289,474 shares and matching warrants at a combined $3.04 per unit, above the recent market price. Each warrant has a $4 exercise price and a 48‑month life, allowing the company to receive $10 million immediately and up to $13 million if all warrants are exercised. This structure provides flexibility for future capital inflows and funds operational and portfolio needs. Upexi holds more than 2 million SOL, making it one of the largest public corporate holders, and treats the treasury as a strategic asset during volatility. Management prefers internal management of the treasury to maximize returns rather than outsource it. The stock has slid over 43 % in the past month, trading around $2.78 after a multi‑week decline, reflecting weak sentiment and reduced risk appetite.

Apple is projected to sell 243 million iPhones in 2025, overtaking Samsung for the first time since 2011.

Apple is projected to ship 243 million iPhones in 2025, edging out Samsung’s 235 million units. This gives Apple a 19.4% share of the global smartphone market, while Samsung falls to 18.7%. It marks the first annual lead for Apple since 2011, based on retailer shipments rather than end‑user sales. The iPhone 17 launch delivered a “bumper” holiday sales window, with U.S. sales up 12% and Chinese sales up 18% versus the previous model. Analysts attribute the boost to an inflection point in the replacement cycle as pandemic‑era phones age. The new lineup also includes the lighter iPhone Air, expanding appeal across price tiers. Chinese brands are tightening grip on the low‑ and mid‑range segments that historically supported Samsung’s volume. This shift threatens Samsung’s global share and erodes its competitive edge. Meanwhile, Apple benefits from a large resale market of 358 million second‑hand iPhones projected by mid‑2025. A U.S.–China trade truce, a weaker dollar, and a resilient economic outlook help Apple expand in emerging markets. Plans for a more affordable iPhone 17e, a foldable model, and a full redesign by 2027 aim to capture growing demand. Ongoing Siri enhancements and ecosystem integration are expected to sustain Apple’s dominance through the decade.

From Zero to Star: LunarCrush Shows How Monad’s Debut Triggered a 550‑Fold Boost in Engagement and Earned a Top‑Ten AltRank Spot

Monad’s mainnet went live on 24 November, triggering a sharp rise in community activity. LunarCrush placed MON in the top‑ten AltRank, with a Galaxy Score in the mid‑50s and about 31.9 k mentions generating roughly 17.6 M engagements—about 551 interactions per post. Early trading windows added venue notices and integration updates that anchored discussions to verified sources. CoinMarketCap shows MON trading near $0.046, a 60 % gain since launch, valuing the network at around $500 M. Influential accounts highlighted the first trading sessions and liquidity events, synchronizing bursts of mentions and reposts. While raw engagement surged, the composite score stayed moderate, reflecting broader participation outpacing conviction during price discovery. On 25 November Monad enabled MON deposits and swaps within Telegram, exposing the token to a large messaging ecosystem. Polymarket added MON/USDC support, providing additional market‑structure endpoints for traders and developers. Continued depth on major pairs, stable spreads, and regular infrastructure updates are expected to sustain a higher baseline of social and developer activity.

Amina Bank and Crypto Finance showcase live cross-currency settlement on Google Cloud

AMINA Bank, Crypto Finance Group and several Swiss banks completed a pilot on Google Cloud’s Universal Ledger (GCUL). The proof‑of‑concept delivered near‑real‑time, 24/7 settlement of domestic fiat transactions. It achieved this without issuing new digital currencies or changing supervisory frameworks. The DLT layer operates as an orchestration tier above the existing banking stack, keeping current compliance, security and governance standards intact. Settlement speed increased dramatically while regulatory obligations remained unchanged. This shows that innovation can coexist with the strict controls of commercial banking. The successful test reinforces Switzerland’s role as a hub for next‑generation payment infrastructure. Programmable wholesale bank money on GCUL enables large‑scale account‑to‑account transfers, lowering operational friction and funding costs. Retail, corporate and institutional clients can access modern services without disrupting core deposit or lending operations. Crypto Finance acted as the Currency Operator, onboarding participants and enforcing transaction rules. Banks integrated GCUL at the core‑banking level, offering near‑instant settlement and full transparency. The next phase will expand the platform to more institutions, cross‑border payments and point‑of‑sale use, demonstrating DLT’s potential to transform the global financial system.

Liquidity test threatens strategy as Bitcoin’s decline strains the treasury model

Strategy Corp faces a cash squeeze as Bitcoin’s recent fall weakens its debt‑funded acquisition model. It must pay $120 million in preferred dividends this year while holding only $54 million in cash. Tapping Euro‑denominated preferred shares or issuing higher‑yield preferred stock may preserve liquidity but raise future costs. Passive funds hold over $9 billion of Strategy shares, and a mid‑January MSCI review could force up to $2.8 billion of sales if the stock is removed. The firm controls 649,870 BTC and has no Bitcoin‑backed loans for 2025, eliminating mandatory sell‑offs. Share price has modestly recovered to $172.19 despite broader market pressure. Strategy carries about $8 billion of convertible debt maturing 2028‑2032, largely out‑of‑the‑money at current prices. Minimal free cash flow makes it dependent on capital‑market access and a Bitcoin rally. Annual dividend commitments of roughly $700 million add to the financing burden, requiring sustained liquidity or crypto appreciation.

$40 Billion Crypto Rally: Bitcoin and Ethereum Flood Exchanges and ETFs Amid a Market Correction

Crypto exchanges recorded a sharp rise in deposits amid the market pullback, according to CryptoQuant. Binance’s stablecoin reserves topped $51.1 billion, its highest ever, indicating large amounts of idle cash. Weekly inflows of Bitcoin and Ethereum reached $40 billion, with Binance and Coinbase handling the bulk. Investors shifted funds from private wallets and liquidity venues to exchange order books, reflecting short‑term rebalancing. Bitcoin spot ETFs added 1.46 k BTC (≈$128.7 million) in the last 24 hours, driven solely by ETF settlement activity. The deposits corresponded to new share creations across multiple broker channels. Custodians verified the on‑chain inflows, expanding regulated holdings while exchange reserves stayed unchanged. Ethereum spot ETFs received 26.62 k ETH (≈$78.6 million) in the same period, also linked to fresh share issuances. Large traders and whales routed ETH into regulated custodial wrappers instead of self‑custody. This boosted ETF custodial balances, mirroring the Bitcoin trend. The combined exchange and ETF inflows suggest that significant capital is waiting on the sidelines, ready for a market rebound. Custodial balances are rising across both centralized platforms and regulated funds. The data points to a strategic repositioning rather than panic selling.

The upcoming altcoin ETF wave could shape the next stage of today’s market cycle.

Stock index futures climb as discussions on rate cuts gain momentum after weak data

Recent developments in the financial markets are drawing heightened attention from investors and analysts alike. The Federal Reserve is now perceived as a greater threat to the economy than the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence. Increasing spending on AI projects and mounting AI‑related debt could constrain companies’ ability to buy back their own shares. The moral hazard associated with AI is driving the rapid expansion of United States hyperscale cloud providers. The benchmark S&P 500 index has slipped beneath its 50‑day moving average, prompting close monitoring by traders.

JPMorgan’s IBIT‑linked structured note aligns with halving cycles, projecting a Bitcoin decline in 2026 and a rally in 2028.

JPMorgan Chase has launched a structured note that is tied to BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) and is designed to follow Bitcoin’s four‑year halving cycle.

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attract $129 million and Ethereum ETFs draw $78 million as prices stay robust

Spot Bitcoin ETFs attracted $129 million net inflows on Nov 25, led by Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund with $170.8 million and BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust with $83.0 million. Cumulative inflows across all spot Bitcoin ETFs now total $57.61 billion and daily trading volume exceeds $4.69 billion. Smaller products such as Bitwise Bitcoin ETF and Ark 21Shares Bitcoin ETF recorded outflows, showing mixed sentiment among lesser‑known issuers. Ether spot ETFs recorded $78.6 million net inflows for the third straight day, driven by BlackRock’s iShares Ethereum Trust ($46.1 million) and Fidelity Ethereum Fund ($47.5 million). Grayscale’s Ethereum Mini Trust added $8.3 million, while its larger Ethereum Trust saw a $23.3 million outflow. The sector’s strong institutional appetite kept volume robust despite the pull‑back in the larger trust. Grayscale launched a spot Dogecoin ETF with $1.4 million first‑day volume, well below expectations but comparable to typical launches. A second Dogecoin ETF from Bitwise is slated to start trading, and spot XRP ETFs captured almost $130 million on debut. Analysts project more than 100 crypto ETFs will appear in the next six months as the SEC eases listing rules. Bitcoin broke its historical November rally, falling over 20 % below the month’s opening price. Analysts link the drop to capitulation among buyers who entered between $106k and $118k, pushing the price toward the $60k‑$80k range. Future movement may hinge on the Fed’s upcoming rate decision.

Analyst behind the 2024 XRP surge issues new forecast

Crypto Michael reminded followers that he predicted XRP’s 800% surge, reinforcing his credibility. He now sees many holders losing faith as the asset stalls. Michael frames the recent dip as a strategic correction, not a failure. He suggests patient investors will benefit when the market rebounds. XRP has underperformed while other coins recovered, despite the launch of several spot ETFs. The expected demand boost has not materialized, frustrating long‑term holders. Michael describes the pullback as a “transfer of wealth from the impatient to the patient.” He signals that a strong move is likely, though no specific timeline is given. Trading volumes for XRP‑linked products are exceeding expectations, indicating growing institutional attention. Some analysts view the current weakness as temporary and anticipate a decisive reversal. Michael’s message emphasizes endurance, positioning XRP for a potential surprise rally once conditions improve.

Analyst outlines XRP’s path to a two‑digit price using Elliott wave analysis

XRP has met resistance while trying to sustain its most recent rally. The digital asset struggled to extend the momentum after a sharp rise. XForceGlobal maintains that XRP remains within an Elliott Wave formation that could drive the price above $20. The coin previously surged 8.71% to $2.22 in November.

BlackRock sells more Bitcoin even as the cryptocurrency rebounds.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) recorded $149.1 million outflow on Nov 24 and $83 million inflow on Nov 25, leaving a net weekly outflow of over $66 million. The fund, previously the top inflow leader among U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, is now trimming positions as investors profit‑take. This comes despite Bitcoin rallying toward the $88,000 level. Bitcoin has bounced from lows near $80,000 and is targeting the $90,000 zone, yet IBIT flows remain negative. Analysts view BlackRock’s outflows as a sentiment gauge, suggesting a defensive stance even in a rising market. The contrast highlights caution among large holders despite price strength. Fidelity’s FBTC saw a $170.8 million inflow, offsetting outflows from ARK’s ARKB and Bitwise’s BITB. Investors are still allocating to Bitcoin but are becoming selective about the vehicles they use. The pattern indicates rotation rather than a loss of confidence in the asset. Continued redemptions from IBIT while Bitcoin climbs could signal the start of a distribution phase or a pause before institutions re‑enter at lower prices. Large allocators often rebalance after rapid gains. Monitoring these flows will help gauge the next directional shift in institutional demand.

Bitcoin appears bearish again this month, but demand could pick up soon, says Bitfinex.

For the second month running, Bitcoin has strayed from its usual behavior, presenting two potential outcomes: a revival in demand or a more extended phase of accumulation.

Upbit Introduces PLUME: A Thrilling New Trading Prospect on South Korea’s Leading Exchange

Unexpected Rebuttal: Eric Trump Disputes Inaccurate ETH Price Forecasts

A viral X post claimed Eric Trump said Ethereum would hit $8,000 in 38 days. The claim originated from the ‘cryptogoos’ account and rapidly spread. Eric Trump responded on X, labeling it “fake news nonsense” and denying any prediction. Crypto rumors thrive on volatility, celebrity appeal, and algorithms that boost engaging content. Some actors spread false claims for profit or to sway markets. To verify news, check official accounts, seek multiple independent confirmations, and be skeptical of extraordinary claims. Eric Trump’s direct denial illustrates the need for source verification. Fake predictions can trigger market moves, damage analyst credibility, and hurt inexperienced investors. Prompt rebuttals help limit these effects and preserve ecosystem trust. Readers should follow verified accounts, cross‑check information, and report dubious posts. Staying vigilant protects investors from misinformation.

Uncovering the Crypto Market Cycle Shift: Why a Two‑Year Span Outperforms Four Years.

Jeff Park of Bitwise notes that the traditional four‑year crypto cycle driven by Bitcoin halvings is being replaced by a two‑year rhythm. Institutional fund activity and ETF flows accelerate market turns. Investors must recognize this faster tempo to time entries and exits effectively. Large funds rebalance portfolios quarterly, creating predictable liquidity spikes. ETF inflows and outflows follow standard financial calendars, imposing shorter cycles. Risk‑management practices further shorten the market’s natural swing. Bitcoin halvings remain a supply shock but their effect is now spread across multiple two‑year intervals. Institutional strategies absorb and trade the shock within their rebalancing windows. Consequently, price moves reflect both Bitcoin fundamentals and conventional finance timing. Track ETF flow data and institutional reporting dates to anticipate market shifts. Adjust position sizes for more frequent cycles and blend technical with fundamental analysis. Staying flexible and informed is essential as the crypto landscape matures.
