The price of Bitcoin has stalled as traders assess the impact of Friday’s $14 billion options expiry, yet market data shows that some bullish investors are positioning for higher price levels.
Nvidia responded strongly to Wall Street concerns that Google’s AI chips could erode its dominance. The company emphasized that its technology remains a full generation ahead and reiterated that it still supplies Google. Shares slipped 3% after a report about Meta testing Google’s TPUs, prompting Nvidia to calm market nerves on X. The firm claimed its platform runs every AI model across all computing environments. Nvidia highlighted that Blackwell GPUs offer greater performance, versatility, and fungibility than Google’s ASIC‑based TPUs. Analyst data shows Nvidia’s processors now control more than 90% of the AI chip market. Google’s TPUs are confined to internal use or Google Cloud rentals and cannot be bought by external customers. Despite higher prices, Nvidia argues that TPUs are limited to specific tasks within one company. CEO Jensen Huang confirmed that Google continues buying Nvidia GPUs and that the Gemini 3 model can run on Nvidia hardware. He cited conversations with DeepMind’s chief that AI “scaling laws” remain intact, meaning larger data sets and more chips drive stronger models. Nvidia expects these laws to boost demand for its chips and full systems across the industry.
The Bitwise DOGE ETF begins trading on NYSE Arca this Wednesday under ticker BWOW. It offers regulated exposure to Dogecoin for traditional investors. Approval by NYSE Arca signals growing acceptance of digital assets in mainstream markets. Investors can buy Dogecoin through standard brokerage accounts without managing wallets. The ETF operates under SEC oversight, providing protection and tax‑efficient treatment. NYSE Arca’s liquidity ensures easy entry and exit. Dogecoin’s price remains highly volatile, which can affect ETF performance. Ongoing regulatory changes could impact the fund’s operations. Bitwise’s experience in crypto funds helps mitigate some of these concerns. The listing provides a familiar, regulated path for institutional and retail exposure to meme coins. High visibility on a major exchange may spur further crypto‑based products. It represents a step toward deeper integration of digital assets into diversified portfolios.
The competition for AI investment is intensifying, creating a substantial debt buildup. This financial strain could force companies to curtail share repurchase programs.

What is driving Japan to apply securities‑market regulations to the cryptocurrency sector at present?
Ripple’s long‑standing non‑disclosure agreements are reportedly expiring daily, exposing hidden corporate contracts. Analyst Ben Malena argues this transparency signals that major institutions are preparing to adopt Ripple’s payment technology. The release of these agreements could reveal extensive global integrations and create a supply squeeze for XRP. New ETFs, liquidity corridors, and enterprise payment links point to growing institutional involvement. As firms scale their positions, retail investors may be priced out, accelerating price pressure. The combined effect of institutional inflows and reduced hidden supply could tighten market dynamics quickly. Analysts suggest measuring XRP against Bitcoin rather than fiat to gauge true strength, noting only a few coins have set all‑time highs in BTC terms. If unreleased contracts confirm large‑scale settlement use, demand could surge and trigger a sharp revaluation. While the forecast of a “price shock” hinges on catalyst timing, the growing transparency fuels optimism.
JPMorgan Chase is set to launch structured notes tied to BlackRock’s IBIT spot Bitcoin ETF. The notes act as derivative instruments linked to IBIT’s performance, with an auto‑call after one year and final maturity in 2028. This design gives investors multiple exit points while keeping the product within a traditional finance framework. If IBIT rises above a trigger level after one year, the notes deliver a minimum 16% fixed return. Principal is protected against the first 30% decline in IBIT’s value, with losses only beyond that threshold. Upside potential is capped to balance risk and reward. The offering signals growing institutional acceptance of digital assets through regulated vehicles. By wrapping Bitcoin exposure in a familiar structured product, JPMorgan removes technical barriers for conservative investors. The launch coincides with rapid growth of Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT. Investors face capped upside, credit risk of the issuer, and limited secondary‑market liquidity. The payout structure is complex, requiring careful prospectus review. Consulting a financial advisor is advised to ensure alignment with risk tolerance.
Bitcoin rebounded to approximately $88,000, supported by an options market exposure of around $1.76 billion.

Fed President Neel Kashkari warned that cryptocurrency lacks clear, real‑world use cases, unlike artificial intelligence. He questions what problems crypto actually solves and views most digital assets as speculative. The comment intensifies scrutiny as regulators seek tangible benefits from the sector. AI is already embedded in daily tools such as virtual assistants, recommendation engines, and automated diagnostics, delivering measurable efficiency gains. Its impact can be quantified, making it easier for policymakers to endorse. Crypto, by contrast, struggles to prove comparable concrete outcomes at scale. Uncertain regulation, technical complexity, high volatility, and security breaches deter mainstream users. Scalability limits many blockchains from handling transaction volumes comparable to traditional systems. These hurdles reinforce the view of crypto as a risky, speculative store of value. Despite criticism, crypto supports cross‑border remittances, decentralized finance, NFT ownership, and provides financial lifelines in hyperinflationary economies. Institutional pilots in supply‑chain and settlement systems hint at growing acceptance. Future growth will likely depend on clearer regulations, improved scalability, and demonstrable solutions to real‑world problems.
R25, an Ant Financial protocol, launched rcUSD and rcUSDp on the Sui network. rcUSD is a stablecoin pegged to $1 and backed by regulatory‑compliant real‑world assets. rcUSDp is a yield‑bearing receipt issued when rcUSD is staked, allowing users to earn rewards. The dual‑token design creates a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain. The tokens address key DeFi hurdles: they meet compliance standards, provide real‑asset stability, generate staking yields, and enable institutional participation. Sui’s high throughput and security support efficient, low‑cost transactions. Users retain liquidity in rcUSD while earning returns through rcUSDp. Regulatory variance, asset verification, and market adoption remain obstacles for RWA tokens. R25’s rigorous due‑diligence and compliance framework aims to mitigate these risks. Wider acceptance could drive broader blockchain integration into conventional finance and enhance stability across the crypto ecosystem.
At 01:08 UTC the stablecoin USDC jumped to 6,120 won (≈$4.43) on the South Korean exchange, more than four times its normal price. The spike lasted only minutes before falling back to around 1,503 won ($1.09). The brief anomaly highlighted that even pegged assets can experience sudden volatility. Analysts point to possible technical glitches, erroneous market orders, low‑liquidity periods, or manipulation attempts as triggers. USDC’s 1:1 dollar peg relies on dollar reserves, redemption rights, and continuous arbitrage. When prices deviate, traders sell high and buy low, swiftly restoring equilibrium. Investors should use limit orders, watch multiple venues for price gaps, and understand redemption options. Keeping emergency sell orders can protect against fleeting spikes. These safeguards help avoid overpaying during rapid fluctuations. The rapid correction demonstrates the resilience of modern crypto markets and the effectiveness of automated arbitrage. While rare, such episodes underline that stablecoins remain fundamentally sound. Overall, the incident reinforces confidence in the mechanisms that keep pegs intact.
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management confirmed the shutdown of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a move that many expected to hurt the meme coin. Instead, Dogecoin rose, showing that its price often ignores conventional news. The closure followed reports of tension between former President Trump and Elon Musk, adding political drama to the mix. This surge reinforces the notion that meme coins operate on their own dynamics. Dogecoin gained 1.1% in the last 24 hours while trading volume jumped 20%, indicating market resilience. The token is holding steady at a key $0.13 support level that previously sparked a sharp rebound. If history repeats, the price could double from this base, targeting $0.29 and possibly $0.47, a 224% increase from current levels. Traders view this zone as a catalyst for a broader rally. Recent bearish sentiment faded after Dogecoin broke a long‑standing trend line, dropping from $0.15 to $0.13. The support at $0.13 has steadied, encouraging buyers to re‑enter. Momentum may push the token toward its recent swing high, testing the $0.29 mark. A successful retest could reignite the recovery seen earlier this year. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) raised over $4 million in its presale, aiming to blend meme energy with a trader‑first ecosystem. The platform features leaderboard contests and allocates up to 25% of funds to high‑leverage trades, with profits fueling aggressive marketing. Participants can join via the official website using compatible wallets or bank cards. The project seeks to capitalize on the renewed interest in meme‑coin trading.
Grayscale’s XRP Trust ETF (ticker GXRP) launched with a 0% fee, joining Bitwise’s product released last week. The race to list XRP-linked ETFs before Thanksgiving includes potential entries from Franklin Templeton. This surge of regulated offerings signals growing institutional demand for the third‑largest digital asset. XRP rebounded to $2.05 after finding support at $1.90, marking a 1.3% gain in 24 hours. Breaking above $2.20 would confirm a trend reversal, with the next target at the 200‑day EMA around $2.60. Continued momentum could push the token toward $3.50 in the mid term. Bitcoin Hyper introduces a Solana‑powered Layer 2 on Bitcoin, offering faster, cheaper transactions while keeping security. The project has raised $27 million and is now in a discounted presale, accessible with USDT, SOL, or card payments. Increased demand for this scaling solution could drive HYPER’s price sharply upward.
Canary Capital’s XRPC, Bitwise’s XRP fund and Grayscale’s upcoming GXRP have reignited interest in institutional exposure to XRP. Analysts are debating whether these vehicles can generate sustained capital inflows. The discussion centers on how ETF participation might shape XRP’s long‑term valuation. Zach Rector examined Bitcoin’s ETF cycle, noting $62.25 billion of inflows and $24.31 billion of outflows from early 2024 to October 2025. After netting outflows, roughly $37.94 billion entered the Bitcoin market, supporting its rise above $100 k and a market‑cap increase of $1.76 trillion. This equates to a multiplier of about 46× the net ETF capital. Rector compared XRP’s recent $456 million weekly outflow to Bitcoin’s multi‑billion flows, suggesting XRP is more sensitive to inflows. Using XRP’s $1.95 price, 60.25 billion supply and a $117.5 billion market cap, he projected price scenarios with 50×, 100× and 200× multipliers. For example, a 100× multiplier with $20 billion inflow could push XRP toward $35, while a 200× scenario with $30 billion might approach $101. Rector highlighted that Bitcoin attracted $50 billion in ETF inflows within two years, and XRP could capture similar sums over a longer horizon. Estimates from JPMorgan and Canary Capital range from $4 billion to $10 billion in the first month of trading. He stressed these are model‑based scenarios, not price predictions, and investors should conduct thorough research.
