After several weeks of pretending everything was okay while prices flirted dangerously with the $100,000 mark (a figure that seems to have vanished into the ether), the chart now screams, âHelp!â at anyone still paying attention.
Hold on tight, because if the old patternâs gone, 2026 might just turn into the crypto version of open season. Think of it as Bitcoin’s ‘lord of the flies’ moment, but with fewer flies and more dollar signs.
In a bold move, SGX aims to nudge the steady stream of crypto derivative traders into its cuddly, regulated embrace-no more lurking on shady offshore platforms, we hope. The perpetual contracts are sized at 0.2 BTC and 5 ETH-perfect for bragging rights and (probably) risking a lot.
XRPCâs debut on Nov. 13 was so underwhelming, itâs less exciting than your cousinâs garage band. Day one? Zero net creations. But then⌠dramatic pause⌠$243 million poured in like someone opened a dam, and trading volume hit $58 million. Thatâs right, it even beat the Solana ETFâs $57 million.

Imagine four exes showing up to the same party-awkward, right? Well, thatâs exactly whatâs happening this week. Franklin Templeton kicks things off on November 18, followed by Bitwise (November 19-20), and then 21Shares and CoinShares (November 20-22).

The European Central Bank (ECB) has sounded the klaxon, warning that the $300 billion stablecoin market is less stable than a wizardâs hat in a hurricane. Dutch central bank Governor Olaf Sleijpen, clearly channeling his inner Cassandra, said the rise of dollar-pegged stablecoins could force the ECB to rethink its monetary policy.
