Large Bitcoin holders have reversed their market stance, with one whale closing a 1,000 BTC short position at a $1.6 million loss before opening a 3× leveraged long. Another wallet entered a 20× long position totaling 563.68 BTC worth over $51 million. Analysts identify $84,570 as critical support and $112,340 as the next resistance level that could shape Bitcoin's near-term trajectory.

BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes predicts equity price discovery will transition to crypto-style perpetual futures by the end of 2026. SGX in Singapore and CBOE in the U.S. plan to launch perpetual contracts by end-2025, while Coinbase listed a retail version earlier in 2025. Hayes says legacy derivatives exchanges are now adopting the perpetual model BitMEX pioneered in 2016 with 100x leverage.

Despite the pullback, total net assets remain near $918 million, while SOL price has recovered above $140 after declining to $125 earlier in November.

Major layer-1 blockchain networks are incorporating post-quantum cryptography into their technical roadmaps as a long-term security priority. The shift follows NIST's standardization of quantum-resistant algorithms between 2022 and 2024. Teams are addressing potential vulnerabilities in elliptic-curve signature schemes before quantum computers reach cryptanalytic capability.

Canary Capital's spot XRP exchange-traded fund recorded approximately $58 million in trading volume on its first day, setting a 2025 record for new ETF debuts, according to Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas.

Bitcoin has climbed back above $92,000 after posting gains exceeding 12% over seven days. Bloomberg senior commodity strategist Mike McGlone projects a possible decline to $50,000, citing Bitcoin's correlation with S&P 500 volatility and deflationary market signals.

The International Monetary Fund has warned that tokenized financial markets may experience heightened volatility as automation accelerates settlement processes. The institution highlighted potential flash-crash scenarios driven by instant execution mechanisms.
