The platform’s founders reached out through social media and email to say DappRadar would soon stop tracking blockchains and DApps. DappRadar, the analytics platform that provides data on the decentralized application (DApp) industry, said it is ceasing operations seven years after it launched. In a Monday X post, DappRadar founders Skirmantas Januškas and Dragos Dunica said they would be winding down the platform. The pair said that “running a platform of this scale became financially unsustainable in the current environment,” and said it plans to stop tracking blockchains and DApps “in the coming days” as it begins to shut down. The notice said the platform would communicate separately regarding how it would handle its native RADAR token and its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). The token price fell about 30% immediately following the shutdown announcement, reaching about $0.00072 at the time of publication, according to data from Nansen. Read more -

Republic Technologies secured a zero-interest convertible loan to expand its Ether holdings, a structure that could limit shareholder dilution. Republic Technologies, formerly known as Beyond Medical Technologies before transitioning into blockchain infrastructure, has secured a $100 million convertible note facility to expand its Ether holdings — a move the company said will enable it to grow its ETH treasury with minimal shareholder dilution due to favorable financing terms. The financing comes with unusual terms for a crypto-related company: a 0% interest rate, no ongoing interest payments and no requirement to post additional collateral if the price of Ether (ETH) falls, the company announced Monday. These features mean Republic does not have to spend cash servicing the debt and cannot default for failing to make interest payments — a common issue for highly leveraged digital-asset companies.

The new US crypto bill could settle the commodity-versus-security debate and reshape compliance, trading and innovation. Since its inception, the US cryptocurrency industry has faced a regulatory challenge: determining when a digital asset qualifies as a security and when it qualifies as a commodity. This uncertainty has hindered institutional adoption, fueled legal disputes and made it difficult for crypto companies to interpret complex rules. But a draft bill from the Senate Agriculture Committee, led by Chair John Boozman and Senator Cory Booker, proposes changes that may address this. Read more -

EU lawmakers stripped out mandatory client-side message scanning from the latest Chat Control draft, but invasive age checks and voluntary scanning remain. European Union efforts to mandate scanning of private messages have been blocked again, marking another setback for the bloc’s proposed Chat Control legislation, and another win for digital rights activists. German digital rights activist and Pirate Party Germany politician Patrick Breyer wrote in a Nov. 15 X post that a backdoor, which he said mandated client-side scanning of messages, had been removed from the latest draft of the “Regulation to Prevent and Combat Child Sexual Abuse” proposal, more commonly known as Chat Control. According to him, the addition of the following line under the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU — which also saw the introduction of the backdoor clause — resolved the issue: The draft used vague language referring to “all possible risk mitigation measures,” which, according to critics, would allow authorities to force ... -

Corporations have quietly amassed nearly 7% of the Bitcoin supply, as analysts note a growing institutional influence on the crypto market’s liquidity. Corporate Bitcoin holdings continue to climb, but treasury executives argue the trend is strengthening, not weakening, decentralization across the network. Despite increasing concerns about concentrated Bitcoin (BTC) ownership, emerging corporate treasury firms and new institutional players are contributing to broader distribution across the ecosystem, according to several executives speaking at Bitcoin Amsterdam 2025. “At the end of the day, what we are doing is really decentralizing Bitcoin. It doesn’t seem like that, but it is the case through the demand that we provide in the market,” said Alexander Laizet, board director of Bitcoin strategy at Capital B. Read more -

Investors retreat from crypto ETPs across major regions, resulting in a 27% decline in AUM from October’s peak as uncertainty drives a shift toward safer products. Crypto investment products logged their largest weekly outflows since February, shedding $2 billion as global risk appetite declined. Crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) saw $2 billion in outflows last week, up by nearly 71% from $1.17 billion recorded the previous week, CoinShares reported on Monday. This marks the third consecutive week of outflows, extending the cumulative outflow streak to $3.2 billion. CoinShares’ head of research, James Butterfill, attributed the outflows to monetary policy uncertainty and selling by crypto-native whales. As a result, total assets under management (AUM) in crypto ETPs decreased to $191 billion, representing a 27% decline from their peak of $264 billion in October. Read more -

UBS and Ant International will test tokenized deposits for real-time cross-border payments and liquidity management in one of Singapore’s largest blockchain pilots. Investment bank UBS has entered a strategic partnership with financial technology company Ant International to explore tokenized deposits for real-time cross-border payments and global liquidity management, marking a notable expansion of the Swiss bank’s blockchain-based digital cash platform. The two companies signed a Memorandum of Understanding in Singapore, anchoring the deal in one of the most active hubs for institutional blockchain experimentation. The move positions tokenized bank money as a potential replacement for traditional treasury settlement rails, which are still defined by cut-offs, fragmentation and multicurrency delays. Ant International, which oversees operations within the broader Alipay+ ecosystem, announced that it will utilize UBS Digital Cash to streamline internal treasury transfers across jurisdictions.

With just under 2 million Bitcoin that will ever be mined from here on out, Bitcoin’s “real story” is about to unfold. Bitcoin’s total circulating supply has just crossed 95% of its 21 million hard supply cap — a massive milestone baked in nearly 17 years ago when creator Satoshi Nakamoto mined the genesis block on Jan. 3, 2009. With 19.95 million Bitcoin now in circulation, this leaves just 2.05 million Bitcoin to be mined. The question is, what does this mean for the future of Bitcoin and its price? Speaking to Cointelegraph, Thomas Perfumo, a global economist at crypto exchange Kraken, said it’s an important milestone in the Bitcoin narrative, because annual supply inflation is currently around 0.8% per annum, and hard money “requires a credible narrative for people to confidently adopt a currency as a store of value.” Read more -

Adam Back says Bitcoin faces no meaningful quantum threat for at least the next 20–40 years, adding that NIST-approved post-quantum standards can be adopted in time. Adam Back, the cryptographer and cypherpunk cited in the Bitcoin white paper, said Bitcoin is unlikely to face a meaningful threat from quantum computing for at least two to four decades. Responding to an X user on Nov. 15 who asked whether Bitcoin (BTC) is at risk, Back wrote that “probably not for 20–40 years,” adding that there are already post-quantum encryption standards approved by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) that Bitcoin could implement “long before cryptographically relevant quantum computers arrive.” The discussion began with a user posting a video of Canadian-American venture capitalist and entrepreneur Chamath Palihapitiya, who predicted that the quantum threat to Bitcoin would become a reality in two to five years. He noted that to break SHA-256 — the encryption standard that Bitcoin relies on — quantum c... -

Bitcoin’s price is now at a “pivotal juncture” as the fate of the market cycle depends on incoming macro signals and maintaining key technical price levels. US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) closed a third straight week in the red, deepening concerns that one of Bitcoin’s biggest institutional demand engines is stalling. Spot Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs saw $1.1 billion in net negative outflows during the past trading week, marking their fourth-largest week of outflows on record, according to Farside Investors data.
