Tether is in advanced talks to invest around €1 billion in German humanoid-robotics firm Neura Robotics, according to recent reports. 

The move signals one of the clearest shifts yet in Tether’s strategy as the world’s largest stablecoin issuer pushes beyond USDT and into high-technology sectors.

Tethers Is Betting Big On AI Robotics

The proposed investment would value Neura between €8 billion and €10 billion. 

However, the scale of the talks underscores a broader pattern. Tether has spent the past year diversifying into AI infrastructure, robotics, and real-world technology. 

Tether @Tether_to in talks to lead €1 Billion Funding Round for Neura Robotics

Tether Holdings, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin $USDT, is reportedly in advanced discussions to lead a €1 billion ($1.07 billion) investment round in Neura Robotics, a German startup…

Earlier this year, the company secured access to a 20,000-GPU compute network to build its AI research environment. It also explored major exposure to Neura’s cognitive-robotics platform, which includes humanoid systems designed for industrial and commercial work.

At the same time, Tether has expanded through financial-market partnerships. Its “Hadron by Tether” platform signed agreements with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities to accelerate tokenized securities adoption. 

The company also deepened its presence in public-sector digital infrastructure through a collaboration with Da Nang city in Vietnam.

These moves come as Tether’s reserves grow. The company reported more than $135 billion in US Treasury exposure and expects record profits this year, giving it unusually large liquidity for private-market deals. 

That financial capacity appears to be funding its push into AI, robotics, and digital-governance technology.

Yet questions remain. Neither Tether nor Neura has confirmed the final size or structure of the investment. 

Analysts note that mass-producing humanoid robots carries technical and supply-chain risk, and the projected valuation depends on Neura scaling production quickly.

Still, Tether’s direction is clear. The firm is moving from a stablecoin-only business to a broader technology investor, tying its future to sectors far beyond digital assets.

A US court sentenced a man to five years in prison for his leading role in a $9.4 million cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme.

He was also ordered to pay over $1 million in forfeiture and over $170,000 in restitution.

Wolf Capital CEO Found Guilty

Travis Ford, a 36-year-old resident of Glenpool, Oklahoma, was the CEO of Wolf Capital Trading LLC, a cryptocurrency investment firm that raised nearly $10 million from around 2,8000 investors. 

According to the US Department of Justice, Ford spent 2023 soliciting investments through his website and various online promotions. He portrayed himself as an experienced trader capable of generating daily returns ranging from 1% to 2% for investors. 

The U.S. Department of Justice has sentenced Wolf Capital Crypto Trading CEO Travis Ford to five years in prison for a $9.4 million crypto Ponzi scheme, ordering over $1 million in forfeiture and $170,000 in restitution after he admitted to defrauding about 2,800 investors.…

During Ford’s court process, prosecutors argued that he ultimately diverted and misappropriated those funds for personal use and to support his co-conspirators.

In January, Ford admitted guilt to a single charge of conspiracy to commit wire fraud. As part of his plea, he acknowledged knowing that the investment returns he advertised could not be consistently delivered.

This case marks yet another crypto-related Ponzi scheme to surface in the headlines in recent months.

Crypto Fraud Surges Worldwide

In recent months, several major crypto Ponzi schemes have reappeared in headlines worldwide. 

A similar case came last month, when Thai authorities arrested Chinese national Liang Ai-Bing in Bangkok. He is accused of helping run the FINTOCH scheme, which allegedly stole more than $31 million from nearly 100 investors across Asia. Officials say the operation spanned multiple countries and relied on aggressive online marketing.

In August, a New York court issued another major ruling. Judges ordered EminiFX founder Eddy Alexandre to repay $228 million after regulators determined his AI-themed platform was a large-scale fraud. The scheme heavily targeted immigrant communities in the United States. 

A third case surfaced weeks earlier in Detroit, when city officials sued Florida-based RealT for selling tokenized shares of homes it never owned. The company raised roughly $2.72 million from investors through these offerings. 

While Ford’s conviction highlights a tougher stance from authorities, the wave of recent cases makes clear that crypto fraud is spreading faster than enforcement can keep up.

While Bitcoin has painted a bearish picture this past week following its 8% decline and slip below $100,000, it seems like most altcoins will rely on external developments. This could prove to be both beneficial and detrimental to the tokens.

BeInCrypto has analysed three such altcoins to watch this weekend that could witness a surge or a fall.

Arbitrum (ARB)

ARB trades at $0.241 after a 21% drop in the past 24 hours, reflecting mounting pressure ahead of this weekend’s token unlock. Market sentiment remains fragile as uncertainty builds, raising concerns that additional supply could amplify volatility and limit any near-term recovery for the altcoin.

The scheduled release of 92.65 million ARB, worth more than $22.35 million, may add downward pressure in an already unstable market. If selling accelerates, ARB could slip toward the $0.200 psychological support level, creating conditions for deeper losses if sentiment weakens further.

If ARB stabilizes at $0.242 and avoids a sharp decline, the altcoin could stage a recovery toward $0.295. A successful move above this level would signal renewed buyer confidence and fully invalidate the bearish outlook, offering a potential reversal for short-term traders.

Undead Games (UDS)

UDS remains one of the few tokens still trading close to its all-time high, showing resilience despite broader market weakness. The altcoin sits only 23% below its peak of $2.90, signaling stronger demand and tighter supply conditions compared with many assets experiencing deeper corrections.

The tightening of the Bollinger Bands suggests UDS is preparing for a sharp volatility spike. Weekends often amplify market swings, and a bullish move could push the token above $2.59. Sustained momentum may allow UDS to retest the $2.90 all-time high and attract increased trader interest.

If bearish momentum takes hold, UDS may fall below the $2.29 and $2.14 support levels. A breakdown would invalidate the bullish setup and expose the token to steeper losses. This scenario highlights how quickly sentiment can shift when volatility compresses before major price moves.

Berachain (BERA)

Another one of the altcoins to watch this weekend is BERA, which trades at $1.42 after a 15.6% weekly drop, reflecting mounting uncertainty in the market. The Ichimoku Cloud signals bullish momentum, yet its position above the candlesticks contradicts the trend.

Berchain’s launch of the claims page could help stabilize BERA’s price. The tool allows users affected by the Balancer v2 and BEX exploit to recover lost deposits, potentially supporting sentiment. This development may keep BERA above $1.41 or spark a rebound toward $1.57 if demand strengthens.

If bullish momentum weakens and the claims page fails to lift confidence, BERA could break below $1.41. A drop through this support may push the altcoin toward $1.31. This would invalidate the bullish thesis and signal deeper downside risk amid ongoing market volatility.

For the first time in the company’s history, Strategy’s market value has fallen below the net asset value of its Bitcoin holdings.

This reversal means that the total value of the Bitcoin it owns is now less than the total debt the company took on to acquire it. Analysts worry that if bearish conditions continue, Strategy could enter into a death spiral.

Debt Load Turns Into Liability

Bitcoin’s sharp decline today is being closely tied to mounting pressure on Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate holder of the asset. 

Market sentiment shifted abruptly after Bitcoin broke below the $100,000 threshold, trading near $95,562 at the time of writing. The downturn intensified concerns about Strategy’s leveraged position, adding pressure to an already fragile market environment.

This is why BTC is nuking:

For the FIRST TIME EVER @MicroStrategy has gone below 1 NAV.

Meaning that Saylor's BTC holdings are worth less than their total debt.

— Derivatives Monke (@Derivatives_Ape) November 13, 2025

The shakeup also renewed questions about the long-term viability of its allocation model, which relies heavily on aggressive leverage. Chairman Michael Saylor uses billions in borrowed capital to expand the company’s Bitcoin holdings, magnifying both gains and risks.

When Bitcoin rises, that leverage amplifies gains. But when it falls, the company’s debt load becomes a point of vulnerability.

This playbook has raised fresh concerns among traders that Strategy could slip into what some call a “death spiral.” Falling BTC prices are steadily eroding the value of the company’s collateral.

In that scenario, the company could be forced to sell part of its holdings to meet its obligations. Even if such a scenario never materializes, the possibility alone is enough for market participants to reposition.

Saylor Addresses Selling Speculation

Beyond Strategy’s structural leverage risk, market participants also worry about the impact the market would suffer if Saylor were to unload some of his holdings.

Strategy currently owns 641,692 BTC, or roughly 3% of the total circulating supply. If the company were forced to liquidate a substantial portion of that stash, the resulting increase in supply could significantly impact the market.

We are ₿uying.pic.twitter.com/6g11E9G6pO

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) November 14, 2025

The growing concern pushed Saylor to address speculation about a possible Bitcoin sell-off. In an interview with CNBC, the Strategy founder reiterated his long-term conviction in Bitcoin and dismissed the rumors of a sell-off. 

“My view is [that] Bitcoin is going to outperform gold, it’s going to outperform the S&P, it is digital capital, and so if you’re a long-term investor, this is the place to be,” Saylor said. 

Despite his confidence, today’s developments inevitably raise concerns about structural vulnerabilities in Strategy’s accumulation strategy.

Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead.

Grab a coffee because of how whales are splitting. Institutions are quietly loading up, and Tom Lee’s BitMine is moving faster than anyone as a major on-chain pattern breaks. With Ethereum (ETH) stuck in the $3,100 range, and volatility spiking across the market, a new battle line is forming between panic sellers and high-conviction buyers.

Crypto News of the Day: BitMine Buys 9,176 ETH From Galaxy Digital OTC

Ethereum’s biggest players are suddenly split, and Tom Lee’s BitMine is moving faster than anyone. As ETH hovers near $3,100 with mixed technical signals, whales are either panic-selling at breakeven or doubling down with record-size buys. BitMine has firmly chosen its side.

Despite a sharp market downturn, BitMine continues to accumulate at scale. On-chain data from Lookonchain shows a new BitMine-linked wallet, 0x9973, receiving 9,176 ETH, valued at $29.14 million, directly from a Galaxy Digital OTC wallet.

“Despite the market downturn, Tom Lee’s Bitmine is still buying $ETH,” Lookonchain reported, highlighting Lee’s aggressive strategy.

This follows earlier activity confirming a total accumulation of 19,500 ETH in BitMine, positioning the firm among the most active institutional buyers in November.

Whales Break Pattern: Some Sell at Breakeven, Others Buy Billions

A closer look at additional on-chain transactions suggests that broader whale activity is fragmented. A long-term holder, wallet 0x0c19, has just sold 2,404 ETH tokens, valued at $7.7 million, which they had held since August 2021. At today’s prices, the whale appears to be exiting at breakeven, signaling fading confidence after years of inactivity.

Meanwhile, a super-whale known as #66kETHBorrow is doing the opposite. They added another 16,937 ETH ($53.9 million), bringing their total to 422,175 ETH ($1.34 billion) in just a few days. Despite sitting on approximately $126 million in unrealized losses, this whale continues to accumulate with conviction.

Machi Brothers Add Leverage Even While Deep in the Red

Traders Machi Big Brother and Machi Small Brother have also doubled down. Both increased their long positions on Hyperliquid:

• Machi Big Brother: 7,400.7 ETH ($23.55 million), liquidation at $3,040
• Machi Small Brother: 5,000 ETH ($15.9 million), liquidation at $2,794

Lookonchain notes that both traders added margin as ETH fell to avoid liquidations, signaling confidence in a rebound despite being heavily underwater.

Tornado Cash Wallet Sparks Richard Heart Speculation

Elsewhere, a Tornado Cash-linked wallet, 0xa13C, sold 4,978 ETH ($16.29 million) at $3,273. On-chain data shows this same entity previously deposited 162,937 ETH, funds associated by analysts with Richard Heart, founder of HEX and PulseChain.

No confirmation has surfaced, but the sale adds to the narrative of whale divergence.

“Crazy accumulation happening behind the scenes,” DeFi researcher 0xNobler said.

The next major catalyst for Ethereum arrives in December, the Fusaka upgrade. Crypto Rover noted that the smaller Pectra upgrade pushed ETH up 50%, adding weight to expectations for renewed volatility.

When an altcoin experiences a strong pump and breaks out of a long-term accumulation zone, the move can signal renewed attention toward that project. This pattern can be even more meaningful for low-cap altcoins because they often offer higher profit potential.

Several altcoins showed this behavior in November. Details follow below.

1. Firo (FIRO)

Firo (FIRO) is a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. Its recent rally benefited from a rising interest in blockchain privacy.

BeInCrypto’s price data shows that FIRO’s market cap has increased from $10 million to over $48 million since October. The asset also broke out of its 2025 accumulation range.

Even after a nearly fivefold increase in market cap, FIRO still remains a low-cap altcoin. Many investors believe that escaping the 2025 accumulation zone could allow FIRO to move further and possibly reach 10 USD in 2026.

FIRO also remained in the top Trending section on Coingecko throughout the week. This trend reflects strong research interest from investors.

“FIRO has been trending #1 on Coingecko for an entire week. When the tech is truly great, the interest speaks for itself. Billions.” – Investor Zerebus commented.

Alongside the rally, FIRO’s exchange balance dropped by more than 21%, down to just over 256,000 tokens, according to Nansen. This decline indicates that demand for accumulation remains strong, despite the fear that dominated November.

2. Alchemix (ALCX)

Alchemix (ALCX) is a DeFi protocol that enables users to borrow synthetic assets, such as alUSD or alETH, based on the future yield generated by their collateral.

Price data shows that ALCX surged 140% in November. This move officially ended the sideways phase that lasted from February until now.

This altcoin has a low circulating supply of just over 3 million ALCX. Ethplorer data shows that the first two weeks of November recorded the highest on-chain ALCX transaction volume in three years. More than 20,000 ALCX were transferred in the first week and over 10,000 in the second.

This activity reflects strong accumulation. Nansen data also shows that ALCX’s exchange balances dropped more than 35% in the past 30 days.

These signals have strengthened investor expectations for continued growth. The optimism is reinforced by ALCX’s relatively small market cap of roughly 37.5 million USD.

“ALCX has more than 100X potential based on a huge price breakout that took place early on this cycle and these prices may only be gearing up for such growth…” Investor JAVON MARKS predicted.

3. Nano (XNO)

Nano (XNO) is a cryptocurrency designed for real-world payments. It offers fast, feeless, and sustainable transactions thanks to its block-lattice architecture and energy-efficient consensus mechanism.

Price data shows that XNO climbed more than 70% over the past month. The asset now trades around $1 with a market cap of $143 million. This rally pushed XNO out of the accumulation zone that began in March.

Nano originated during the 2017 altcoin season and has survived multiple market cycles. The recent surge in trading volume has renewed investor hopes that XNO may target $5 or even $8.

Additionally, more than 86.5 million XNO—approximately 67% of the circulating supply—has been staked by Representatives who validate network transactions. This level of staking demonstrates investor commitment to supporting the network and reinforces the upward trend.

Breaking out of long-term accumulation remains one of the strategies many analysts highlighted in November. However, low-cap altcoins carry higher risk. Their lower liquidity can lead to sharper volatility during market downturns.

Because of this, maintaining a moderate allocation may be crucial when dealing with these assets.

XRP is trading sideways after a volatile stretch that mirrored its Q3 movement. The altcoin has held within a narrow range despite increased market activity. 

Historical patterns now suggest a potential shift, as XRP once again displays signs commonly seen before stronger Q4 performances.

XRP Is Mirroring Its Past In Many Ways

Q4 has historically been one of the strongest periods for XRP. Over the past 12 years, the token’s average Q4 return stands at 134%. While such gains are unlikely to repeat in the coming weeks, the trend highlights the asset’s long-term seasonal strength and signals conditions that often precede bullish reversals.

This historical resilience positions XRP as one of the few major cryptocurrencies that consistently benefits from year-end momentum.

Unrealized losses are rising again, creating conditions that have previously triggered strong rebounds. Investors often push prices higher when losses spike, driven by the incentive to recover value. The same behavior was observed in November 2024, April 2025, and June 2025, each followed by a clear move upward.

If this pattern repeats, XRP may be positioned for a recovery fueled by renewed buying pressure. The recent uptick in unrealized losses suggests growing tension in the market, which historically precedes breakouts as investors attempt to regain profitability.

The MVRV Long/Short Difference is dipping toward the neutral zone. This indicates long-term holders are seeing reduced profits, often a precursor to a shift in short-term holder behavior. A drop below neutral would signal rising short-term gains, which may lead to brief selling as traders lock in profits.

After this phase, the indicator typically climbs back into positive territory. When long-term holder profits rise again, XRP has often followed with upward price action. This dynamic suggests a possible setup for stronger gains if the market aligns with previous cycles.

XRP Price Awaits A Trigger

XRP trades at $2.29 after moving sideways for several weeks following a 22% drop in October. The consolidation reflects market caution but also shows resilience as buyers continue to defend key levels through short-term uncertainty.

The current indicators suggest a bullish outlook that supports a move above $2.50, a crucial psychological zone. Clearing this level may allow XRP to break past $2.64 and potentially reach $3.02, helping the token recover October’s losses.

However, XRP has been in sideways movement for 34 days, similar to late July after another 22% crash. If history repeats, XRP may continue ranging between $2.20 and $2.50, delaying any major breakout until stronger momentum emerges.

Dogecoin is down about 1% over the past week and dropped another 7.3% in the last 24 hours, making it one of the weakest large-cap coins during the latest market dip. The ETF noise did not help either. The countdown for the Bitwise spot Dogecoin ETF began on November 7, but DOGE has barely moved since then.

Whales have been buying too, yet the price keeps sliding. The charts show that one group can stop Dogecoin from breaking down, and they have not returned yet.

Whales Buy and ETF Buzz Builds — But Price Still Drops

Buying from whale wallets holding 100 million to 1 billion DOGE has continued since November 7. On that day, their holdings were 30.75 billion DOGE. Now they hold 34.11 billion DOGE. They added around 3.36 billion DOGE in one week. At today’s price, that represents more than $550 million in accumulated value.

Even with this level of buying, DOGE is still down 1% over the same period. The ETF countdown also had no effect. Price stayed flat while institutional interest increased.

When whales buy and the price does not respond, it usually means another force is stronger. That force is long-term holders.

This Hodler Group Has a History of Triggering Rallies and Bounces

The Hodler Net Position Change shows long-term wallets have been selling aggressively. This metric tracks whether long-term holders are adding (inflows) or removing (outflows) coins.

On November 9, long-term holders removed 62.3 million DOGE. As of November 13, that number has jumped to 148.3 million DOGE, leaving long-term wallets. That is a 138% increase in selling pressure in less than a week.

This same group triggered earlier price reactions:

• Between September 6–7, the metric flipped from outflows to inflows, and DOGE jumped about 33% shortly after.

• Between October 15–16, the same shift produced a smaller bounce of around 5% after a few days.

These moves show a clear pattern: price strength usually returns when long-term holders stop selling and begin adding again. Right now, the signal remains deep in outflows. Until it flips again, DOGE cannot build a real recovery.

Dogecoin Price Nears Breakdown Zone — One Level Holds the Entire Structure

DOGE now trades near $0.163 and sits near its largest cost-basis support cluster. The cost-basis heatmap shows the strongest concentration of holders between $0.164 and $0.165. As long as this zone holds, DOGE can stay stable and attempt a bounce or two.

If DOGE closes a daily candle below $0.164 (which is currently possible), it will slip under this cluster. With almost no heavy support levels beneath it, the price can drop quickly. The next key level is $0.158, only 2.6% lower. A breakdown there exposes $0.151 and deeper losses if the market stays weak.

On the upside, the DOGE price needs a move above $0.178 to show early strength. A stronger short-term reversal needs a clean break above $0.186. But neither move can hold unless long-term holders return and shift back to inflows.

Blockchain infrastructure has matured significantly over the past years, and its effects are now extending far beyond decentralized finance (DeFi). 

According to Brian Rudick, Chief Strategy Officer at Upexi, the next wave of corporate finance will unfold on-chain as companies increasingly adopt the technology.

Corporate Finance Is Moving On-Chain 

In an exclusive interview with BeInCrypto, Rudick highlighted the rapid rise of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as one of the clearest indicators that corporate finance is shifting into blockchain-based environments.

He pointed to one headline number: around $36 billion worth of RWAs are now tokenized on blockchains — a figure that has surged 160% in the past year alone. These include private credit, US Treasuries, commodities, alternative investment funds, and equities.

“We’re also seeing large finance and tech incumbents experimenting with blockchain technology more and more,” he said

Notably, this experimentation is quickly turning into a real deployment in 2025. As BeInCrypto recently reported, several major institutions have moved to active blockchain-based development. 

SWIFT, for example, is building a shared real-time ledger connecting more than 30 global banks. Google Cloud has introduced the Universal Ledger (GCUL), a neutral Layer-1 blockchain designed specifically for banks and capital markets.

Meanwhile, companies like Citigroup, Mastercard, and Visa are already offering,  or preparing to offer, blockchain-powered products to their customers.

“We expect this to accelerate if and when the US passes digital asset market structure legislation,” Rudick added.

Blockchain’s Real Impact Lies in Replacing Old Rails

When it comes to “on-chain corporate finance,” it could mean things like: a company putting its balance sheet on a blockchain, doing mergers and acquisitions using tokens, or raising money with tokenized assets.

But in Rudick’s opinion, this is not where blockchain will have the biggest impact right now. He believes the biggest opportunity is not forcing every corporate finance task, such as financial planning and analysis, onto blockchains. 

Instead, it lies in replacing the outdated infrastructure that underpins modern finance. He said that,

“The opportunity for blockchain technology to revolutionize traditional finance is much more around reimagining our currently antiquated financial rails – items like ACH or the credit card issuer networks that were created 50+ years ago and are slow and expensive.”

Rudick argued that although on-chain fundraising can provide advantages such as broader investor access, the full digitization of corporate finance will still lag due to two key factors:

“1) the perhaps larger and more immediate benefits of new financial rails like near-instant and free payments with stablecoins, compared to the current corporate finance construct that works comparatively well, and 2) less burdensome and already-defined regulations within certain areas items like stablecoin payments compared to less defined rules for onchain capital raising.”

Despite this, Rudick noted that tokenized assets already mirror the behavior CFOs care about: cash flow, liquidity, and yield. 

“There are some nuances, where, for example, it may take time for onchain liquidity to build, but where liquidity can also be offered outside of traditional market hours.  As finance moves more fully onchain, the benefits will outweigh the early challenges,” he disclosed to BeInCrypto.

Why Solana Emerges as a Leading Ecosystem for On-Chain Finance

When asked which ecosystems are best positioned to support this emerging on-chain financial layer, the executive pointed decisively to Solana. Rudick, who oversees Upexi’s cryptocurrency strategy — one of the leading Solana-focused treasury companies — cited several factors behind his assessment.

“Solana is the natural home for onchain finance, given its leading speed, cost, reliability, and as it is purpose built exactly for this. In fact, Solana’s North Star is what it calls Internet Capital Markets, where all the world’s assets trade on the same liquidity venue, accessible 24/7 to anyone with an internet connection,” he commented.

Rudick emphasized that major financial institutions, including FiServ, Western Union, Société Générale, PayPal, Visa, Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, Apollo, and many others, are increasingly using Solana to bring finance on-chain and capture its benefits.

Bitcoin is facing renewed volatility as a head-and-shoulders pattern gains strength after last week’s brief fakeout. 

The formation has developed over two months and now aligns with a sharp decline that pushed BTC below $100,000. 

Bitcoin May Repeat History

The Chaikin Money Flow shows a significant rise in outflows from Bitcoin. The indicator has dropped to a 16-month low, a level last seen in July 2024. This decline highlights growing caution among investors who are reducing exposure as they question Bitcoin’s ability to mount a quick recovery.

Rising outflows signal waning confidence and may leave Bitcoin vulnerable to further price weakness. As skepticism builds, liquidity continues to soften, increasing the possibility of an extended downturn. If this trend continues, BTC may struggle to hold key support levels in the short term.

Bitcoin’s macro momentum is weakening as its exponential moving averages move closer to a potential Death Cross. Historically, similar setups have led to average declines of about 21% before the market stabilizes and begins to recover. This raises the probability of a sharper pullback if BTC fails to regain momentum.

A comparable decline today would bring Bitcoin toward $89,400. While past events do not guarantee outcomes, the current structure resembles previous periods when bearish momentum intensified. 

BTC Price Can Note A Reversal

Bitcoin trades at $96,851, sitting just below the critical $100,000 psychological level. This support has been broken four times this month, reflecting indecision and growing pressure from sellers. Market sentiment remains fragile as BTC attempts to stabilize under increased volatility.

The emerging head and shoulders pattern points to a potential 13.6% decline that aligns with the projected target of $89,407. If Bitcoin fails to hold $95,000, the move toward this level becomes more probable. The overlap with the potential Death Cross adds weight to the bearish scenario.

However, if investor demand strengthens, Bitcoin could reclaim $100,000 as support. A decisive bounce from that level may open the path toward $105,000. Such a move would invalidate the bearish thesis and restore confidence among traders seeking renewed upside momentum.

Recently, crypto token listings on major exchanges have failed to generate sustained price rallies, signaling a significant shift in market behavior.

This comes as the entire crypto market remains under pressure, with investor sentiment deteriorating sharply as losses deepen across the board.

Are Crypto Exchange Listings Losing Impact?

Historically, major exchange listings have been accompanied by sharp price surges. This happens because listings often increase visibility, expand liquidity, and attract new buyers. As a result, tokens typically experience a rapid influx of trading activity and interest immediately after going live.

However, in November 2025, the trend has slowed. For instance, today, OKX, one of the leading crypto exchanges, announced the listing of SEI (SEI) and DoubleZero (2Z).

“OKX is pleased to announce the listing of SEI (Sei), 2Z (DoubleZero) on our spot trading markets. SEI, 2Z deposits will open at 3:00 am UTC on November 14, 2025. SEI/USDT spot trading will open at 7:00 am UTC on Nov 14, 2025. 2Z/USDT spot trading will open at 9:00 am UTC on Nov 14, 2025,” the announcement read.

Nonetheless, neither token saw significant gains. BeInCrypto Markets data showed that SEI has dipped by over 8% in the past 24 hours. At the time of writing, it was trading at $0.16. At the same time, 2Z has fallen nearly 5% to $0.16.

This subdued reaction isn’t isolated. Other major platforms show similar behavior. Coinbase added Plasma (XPL) and Toncoin (TON) to its listing roadmap on November 13. The former jumped by around 8% after nearly 90 minutes of the announcement, while TON rose from $2.0 to $2.05.

However, the latest market data showed that both coins were down today. XPL traded at $0.23, down nearly 12% over the past day. TON dropped 6.4% in the same period to $1.94.

Lastly, BeInCrypto reported that Binance listed Lorenzo Protocol (BANK) and Meteora (MET) yesterday. These tokens saw brief, sharp pre-listing surges—60% for BANK and 8.6% for MET—but quickly lost traction. The altcoins closed in red on November 13.

According to the latest price data, BANK has lost nearly 46% of its value in the past day alone. Furthermore, MET has slipped nearly 1%. This highlights how cautious capital inflows are diminishing the impact of exchange listings on price performance.

Market Sentiment Reaches Extreme Fear

The shift could likely be tied to deteriorating sentiment, which continues to shape trader behavior across the market. The Crypto Fear and Greed Index, widely regarded as a gauge of market sentiment, has plummeted into “Extreme Fear.” Yesterday, the index dropped to 15, its lowest level since February.

A surge of liquidations has amplified the market’s difficulties. CoinGlass data shows that over $900 million in long positions were liquidated over the past 24 hours. Overall, the crypto liquidations affected 249,520 traders, resulting in widespread losses and weakening their market position.

With confidence collapsing and liquidity thinning, traders may be more focused on preserving capital than chasing exchange listings. The market is now driven primarily by fear and defensive positioning, overshadowing the speculative enthusiasm that once fueled sharp post-listing rallies.
