👀👀🔥👉Harvard University significantly increased its Bitcoin ETF holdings in Q3 2025, tripling them by 257% to about $442.8 million. The university now owns approximately 6.8 million shares of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), making it the largest single position in Harvard's ETF portfolio. This means Harvard's Bitcoin ETF holdings have grown to surpass investments in major tech stocks like Microsoft and Amazon.
This move reflects growing institutional confidence in Bitcoin as a long-term investment and a strategic hedge amid economic uncertainties. Harvard also increased its gold ETF holdings substantially during the same period, signaling a broader diversification strategy.
👀👀👉The market probability of a December rate cut by the Federal Reserve fell to about 50% recently, which is about half of what it was just before the last FOMC policy announcement on October 29, 2025. On October 29, markets had priced in close to an 82% chance of a rate cut for December, given the Fed's recent rate cuts and expectations. However, since then, the probability has dropped substantially amid Fed Chair Jerome Powell's comments expressing that a December cut is "not a foregone conclusion" and uncertainties due to limited economic data availability during the recent government shutdown. This has led markets to revise down expectations for a further rate cut at the December 10 meeting despite the Fed having lowered rates twice already in 2025 to their lowest levels since 2022.
👀👀👉The stock price of Bitmine Immersion Technologies Inc (BMNR) today is approximately $34.42 USD. The stock has experienced a decline of about 5.88%, with a trading range between $33.55 and $36.04. The market capitalization is around $5.96 billion. The stock price is down from a previous close of $36.57 and opened at $35.00 today. The 50-day moving average stands at approximately $50.33 and the 200-day moving average around $43.78, indicating recent price weakness compared to longer-term averages.
Tom Lee, Chairman of Bitmine Immersion Technologies, believes we are still experiencing the repercussions of the October 10th crypto deleveraging event. These repercussions refer to ongoing market adjustments, including continued trader caution, contract holdings suppressed to historically low levels, and a delayed but emerging positive technical trend. According to Lee, this event represented a major market reset that, despite its severity, lays the groundwork for a potential rally in cryptocurrencies later in the year.

👀👀👉Current Liquidity Levels and Quantitative Easing: Implications for the Crypto Market
Recent data shows that the U.S. Treasury General Account (TGA) balance has decreased to around $943 billion as of mid-November 2025. This decline from previous highs indicates that government funds are flowing back into the economy through spending or debt issuance, injecting liquidity into financial markets.
This drawdown signals a shift away from quantitative tightening (QT) and suggests that quantitative easing (QE) or similar monetary easing policies may be underway. Anticipated interest rate cuts further reinforce the expectation of a more accommodative monetary stance.
For the cryptocurrency market, these liquidity dynamics create a supportive environment. Increased liquidity means more cash is available for investment, which often benefits risk assets like Bitcoin. Additionally, lower interest rates reduce the opportunity cost of holding digital assets, which do not yield interest.
Coupled with favorable regulatory developments enhancing confidence in digital assets, and Bitcoin's fixed supply of 21 million coins, the current macroeconomic environment positions cryptocurrencies well for potential price stabilization or growth after recent volatility.
👉Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (US 30) around 47,399.70, down by about 0.12%.
👉S&P 500 futures (US 500) near 6,725.60.
👉Nasdaq futures around 24,891.50, down 0.41%.
These futures indicate mixed market sentiment with minor changes overnight, reflecting ongoing market volatility and uncertainty with the Federal Reserve's stance.
👀👀👉Canary Capital’s XRP ETF Launch $58 Million Volume Records Amid Market Fear
The launch of the first U.S. spot XRP ETF by Canary Capital (ticker XRPC) took place today November 13, 2025, on Nasdaq, marking a milestone in crypto adoption. The ETF recorded the largest day-one trading volume for an ETF launch in 2025 with about $58.6 million in trades, highlighting strong institutional interest despite prevailing bearish market sentiment in the broader crypto space. Bitcoin currently hovers around $98,800 with the Fear & Greed Index around 25, signaling "Fear" among retail investors. This presents an interesting dynamic where ETFs are witnessing significant volumes while general market sentiment remains cautious.
This divergence can be explained by institutional investors looking beyond short-term market emotions and focusing on long-term structural growth opportunities and regulatory clarity. The ETF facilitates regulated, accessible exposure to XRP, allowing traditional investors to participate without managing crypto assets directly. Canary Capital’s CEO emphasized that XRP is expected to play a key role in the evolution of global financial infrastructure.
As of November 13, 2025, US stock index futures show the following trends:
👉S&P 500 futures are trading around 6,745.90 points, -1.53%
👉Dow Jones futures are near 47,692 points, -1.17%
👉Nasdaq 100 futures are at approximately 24,973.90 points, -2.13%
These futures indicate a slight pullback in US stock indexes with the Nasdaq 100 leading the losses amid a sector rotation from technology toward value sectors like healthcare and financials. The Dow recently hit fresh record highs while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq have shown mixed movements. Over the past month, for example, the broad US500 index has risen by about 2.8% and is up more than 14% year-over-year.
I believe the post-shutdown period will push the market upward, after an adjustment period.
👀👀👉October Jobs Report Will Be Released Without Unemployment Rate Due to Shutdown
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) produces the monthly jobs report, a critical economic indicator combining data from two sources: the household survey, which determines the unemployment rate, and the establishment survey, which measures payroll employment. Due to the 2025 government shutdown, the BLS was unable to complete the household survey for October. As a result, the October jobs report will be released without the unemployment rate data, something confirmed by Kevin Hassett, National Economic Council Director. However, payroll employment data from the establishment survey will still be available. This unprecedented gap in data marks a disruption in the continuous record of U.S. labor market statistics, leaving a partial blind spot in the nation's official economic record for October 2025.
The shutdown and resulting delays have intensified concerns about the labor market, with private data indicating job losses in late October. This situation underscores the importance of BLS data for transparent and timely economic analysis and highlights the challenges posed by government operational disruptions.
Gold prices have surged back above the $4,200 mark, currently trading around $4,243 per ounce in futures on the commodity exchange. This rise reflects about a 0.7% increase, with gold hitting a day high near $4,245. The ongoing bullish momentum is supported by expectations of further US Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, geopolitical tensions, and a weakening US dollar. These factors continue to drive demand for gold as a safe-haven asset. Market analysts also highlight that the $4,200 level is a critical support point, with the potential for gold to push higher toward $4,250-$4,300 if the Fed maintains a dovish stance. The price has been climbing despite mixed short-term economic signals and uncertainty around US economic data release after the government reopening.
President Trump has signed the bill to officially end the government shutdown, bringing relief to millions of federal employees and citizens dependent on government services. This decisive action restores funding and reopens vital government operations after a period of uncertainty and disruption. The bill's passage highlights bipartisan efforts to prioritize the nation's stability and economic well-being.
🚨🚨Government Shutdown is Over — Now Waiting for the President to Sign the Bill🚨🚨
The House of Representatives has approved the bill to end the longest U.S. government shutdown in history, marking a significant step toward reopening the federal government. The funding package, which the Senate had already approved, extends funding for most agencies through January 30, 2026, and includes three full-year appropriations bills. The vote to pass this measure concludes a 43-day shutdown that disrupted countless federal operations and affected millions of workers and citizens.
The bill does not address the extension of Affordable Care Act subsidies, a point of contention for many Democrats. However, the priority was to restore government funding as soon as possible to end the shutdown. With the House's approval, the bill now awaits the signature of President Donald Trump, who has pledged to sign it promptly, officially ending the shutdown and restoring pay and services to federal employees and government programs.
🚨🚨White House: October Economic Data May Never Come Due to Shutdown 🚨🚨
According to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, the October Consumer Price Index (CPI) and jobs data will likely never be released. The ongoing government shutdown has caused the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) to halt data collection and processing. This would mark the first time in history that such important economic data is not published. Leavitt indicated that the absence of the October data could leave businesses, markets, families, and the Federal Reserve in disarray, as this economic data is critical for understanding inflation and job market conditions. The shutdown has prevented deployment of surveyors and furloughed BLS staff, impacting the ability to generate these reports.
Without the release of October CPI and jobs data due to the government shutdown, the Federal Reserve will rely heavily on alternative data sources and indirect indicators to guide its December monetary policy decisions.
Bitwise's Chainlink Spot ETF has now been listed on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) website under the ticker symbol CLNK. This listing is a major signal that the launch of the ETF could be imminent. Being listed on DTCC means the fund is technically ready for trading once it receives the final regulatory approval from the SEC. However, the listing itself does not guarantee SEC approval, which has been delayed due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown. The ETF is categorized under both "active" and "pre-launch" on DTCC, indicating it is approaching market readiness. Bitwise's Chainlink ETF is designed to give both institutional and retail investors exposure to Chainlink's native token, LINK.
🚨🚨Government Shutdown Update: Shutdown Could End Today with House Vote!!!!🚨🚨
The full House vote on the Senate-passed government funding bill to reopen the government is set for Wednesday at 4 PM ET. This vote comes after the Senate approved the funding package in a 60-40 vote, moving one step closer to ending the longest government shutdown in U.S. history. If the House passes the bill, it will be immediately sent to the president for his signature. While the president has up to 10 days to sign or veto the bill, it is expected that he will sign it as soon as possible. Once signed, the government will officially reopen, federal employees will return to work, and crucial funding for various government programs will resume.

The S&P 500 index closed today at 6846.62, which is up by 14.19 points or approximately 0.21% compared to the previous close of 6832.43.
NVIDIA (NVDA) stock closed down about 2.35%, primarily due to headline-driven factors rather than a drop in demand. Key reasons include SoftBank's sale of its entire Nvidia stake worth around $5.8 billion in October, which caused market pressure and uncertainty among investors about how much AI sector optimism is already priced into Nvidia's shares.
👀💥🔥👉Canary Capital’s XRP ETF Receives Green Light for Nasdaq Listing
The Canary Capital XRP ETF has received automatic approval for listing on Nasdaq after filing Form 8-A with the US SEC on November 10, 2025. The ETF will trade under the ticker symbol XRPC and is expected to start trading later this week, around November 13, 2025. The ETF aims to provide investors with exposure to XRP and is modeled on the XRP-USD CCIXber Reference Rate Index. It has a management fee of 0.50%, with custodians Gemini Trust Company and BitGo Trust Company, and cash held by U.S. Bank.
This launch marks the first ever XRP ETF on Nasdaq and is seen as a significant regulatory win for Ripple after prior challenges. The market has reacted positively, with XRP's price surging nearly 10%, boosted by the ETF launch anticipation and the possible end of the US government shutdown. Trading volume has increased by 40% in the last 24 hours, and XRP futures open interest on major exchanges has also risen, reflecting renewed investor confidence.
The issuer, Canary Capital, had previously achieved automatic approvals for other crypto ETFs like Litecoin and HBAR, showing a growing presence in digital asset investment products. CEO Steven McClurg predicted the XRP ETF could outperform Solana's debut ETF in its first week, highlighting strong market demand for XRP exposure.
