Binance futures volume just exploded across the majors🔥🚀
$BTC futures ripped to $48.4B - one of the biggest spikes in months - and $ETH , #sol , #xrp , #TRX , and $BNB BNB all surged at the same time.
This isn’t isolated activity, it’s a broad-market futures ignition after weeks of low volatility and tight ranges.
When futures wake up like this, it usually means traders are positioning for a much larger move - not grinding sideways. Both hedgers and momentum traders are re-entering with size, and Binance is once again where the liquidity rush is happening.
The quiet phase is over. Volatility is back on the table.
SWIFT DROPS XRP — PICKS #Ethereum L2 $LINEA FOR ITS 2025 GLOBAL PAYMENTS PILOT 🌍
In a stunning twist that just shook the crypto world, #SWIFT has officially selected Consensys’ Ethereum Layer-2 #Linea — NOT XRP — for its massive 2025 cross-border payments pilot.
More than 30+ global banking giants — including JPMorgan, HSBC, BNP Paribas, Standard Chartered, and Citi — are joining the pilot, marking the largest institutional adoption of an Ethereum L2 in history.
This is the biggest blow yet to XRP’s cross-border narrative and a massive credibility boost for Ethereum’s scaling ecosystem.
Grayscale’s #GXRP and #GDOG ETFs received approval from NYSE Arca and start trading Monday! These spot ETFs provide investors direct exposure to XRP and Dogecoin, adding to the growing suite of altcoin investment options.
Earlier this year, Bitwise’s Solana ETF (BSOL) drew in $400M+ in inflows, signaling strong institutional appetite for non‑Bitcoin crypto.
If DOGE and XRP ETFs follow that same trend, we could be looking at major inflows across the #altcoin ETF space.
#BTC has entered oversold territory, with the Relative Strength Index ( #RSI ) dropping to 35 only the sixth time in its history it has reached this level.
Historically, major rebounds have occurred when the RSI falls between 25 and 35, putting Bitcoin right within that critical range.
The current pattern closely resembles the March 2020 market crash, where the RSI bottomed at 33 just slightly below today’s 35.
#China purchased +15 tonnes of gold in September, or ~10 times more than officially reported by the central bank, according to Goldman Sachs estimates.
Similarly, in April, estimated purchases reached +27 tonnes of gold, or 13 times more than officially reported.
Meanwhile, official numbers show China acquired another +0.9 tonnes in October, bringing official gold holdings to a record 2,304.5 tonnes.
Year-to-date, China’s reported gold purchases have reached +24 tonnes.
Assuming official purchases continue to be just 10% of what China is actually purchasing, this suggests China has acquired +240 tonnes of physical gold in 2025.
China's true gold reserves are far larger than disclosed.
STH-SOPR finally slipped into the green zone -- the same region that has marked early accumulation phases in previous cycles. Yesterday’s move into the low-80Ks pushed short-term holders into real loss territory, and that’s typically when stronger hands start paying attention.
This isn’t a “bottom is locked in” signal. It’s simply a constructive zone where step-by-step spot buying starts to make more sense.
Historically, when we reach this area during a broader uptrend, the market is cooling off, resetting, and building a healthier foundation for the next leg. Excess heat is gone, leverage flushes out, and emotions reset.
If your view is that this is still a bull-cycle correction, the 80K region is a reasonable place to begin scaling in -- carefully and with a plan.
It’s not the bottom call. It’s the bottom region signal -- and that’s usually where good positioning begins.
#Solana devs just proposed something big: doubling the disinflation rate so the network reaches its 1.5% terminal inflation twice as fast.
This isn’t a minor update -- it’s a full acceleration of Solana’s economic engine.
What it means: 🔥 Far fewer new $SOL hitting the market over the next few years 📉 Emissions dropping much sooner than expected ⛓️ A supply curve that tightens faster than almost any major chain 🚀 A long-term scarcity story that gets noticeably stronger
Roughly 22 million $SOL of future emissions could be removed -- billions in potential sell pressure eliminated.
Solana is already one of the fastest and most active networks in crypto, and now it wants to become one of the most economically disciplined, too.
If you care about long-term value, this proposal is massive.
Scarcity drives conviction -- and Solana is leaning into it.
