  • How XRP and RLUSD are making Ripple the JPMorgan of the crypto industry
    CryptoSlate - 22:00 Nov 04, 2025
    For years, Ripple was best known for its legal battles and its token, XRP, which was a symbol of crypto’s friction with the traditional financial world. Now, after years of courtroom and regulatory turbulence, Ripple has quietly built something far more ambitious: a full-stack institutional financial platform that resembles a 21st-century investment bank, albeit without […] The post How XRP and RLUSD are making Ripple the JPMorgan of the crypto industry appeared first on CryptoSlate.
  • 5 clear signals that will prove if the Bitcoin bull run is still alive
    CryptoSlate - 20:00 Nov 04, 2025

Yet despite the accumulation narratives, Bitcoin’s price has slipped sharply, breaking below key levels as ETF flows turned negative. The contradiction between bullish headlines and falling prices emphasizes a crucial point: in markets […] The post 5 clear signals that will prove if the Bitcoin bull run is still alive appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • Why Bitcoin ETFs started to bleed out as four-day outflows hit $1.34B
    CryptoSlate - 16:00 Nov 04, 2025
    Spot Bitcoin ETFs opened the week with -$186.5 million in net redemptions on Monday, Nov. 3, stretching a four-session drain to roughly -$1.34 billion since Oct. 29. This run shows how quickly flows can swing when a single mega-issuer turns into a seller. Data from Farside shows Monday’s outflows were effectively concentrated at IBIT, with […] The post Why Bitcoin ETFs started to bleed out as four-day outflows hit $1.34B appeared first on CryptoSlate.
  • How Zcash reclaimed the privacy crown from Monero
    CryptoSlate - 15:00 Nov 04, 2025
    For nearly a decade, the rivalry between Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR) defined the crypto privacy movement. The two digital assets promised what Bitcoin couldn’t: true transactional anonymity, but they took very different paths to achieve it. Monero made privacy mandatory, encrypting every transaction by default. Zcash made it optional, allowing users to choose between […] The post How Zcash reclaimed the privacy crown from Monero appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Microsoft’s $9.7 billion contract with a Texas miner reveals the new math pushing crypto infrastructure toward AI, and what it means for the networks left behind. IREN’s November 3 announcement collapses two transactions into a single strategic pivot.

  • Why Trump believes ‘China is big into crypto’ despite ban
    CryptoSlate - 11:26 Nov 04, 2025
    President Donald Trump told 60 Minutes on November 2 that China poses a competitive threat in crypto, warning that “China is getting into it very big right now.” The claim surfaces a paradox. Beijing banned crypto trading and mining in 2021, yet Trump frames the country as America’s principal rival in digital assets. The disconnect […] The post Why Trump believes ‘China is big into crypto’ despite ban appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    Bitcoin dropped below $106,505.22 on Nov. 3, down 3.6% in 24 hours, as a strengthening US dollar and sustained ETF outflows pressured crypto across the board. As of press time, Bitcoin has lost that key support level, now trading below $104,000 for the first sustained time since June.

  • Bitcoin fights to sustain its bull run while fees slide 56% YTD
    CryptoSlate - 22:30 Nov 03, 2025
    Bitcoin is having a strangely quiet year on-chain. After a wave of speculative flows in 2024, the network now moves with near-clockwork efficiency. The average block size has contracted, daily fees are less than half what they were in January, and the fee-to-reward ratio has dropped toward levels last seen in the year before the […] The post Bitcoin fights to sustain its bull run while fees slide 56% YTD appeared first on CryptoSlate.

    CryptoSlate - 20:30 Nov 03, 2025
    For years, Balancer stood as one of DeFi’s most reliable institutions, a protocol that had survived several bear markets, audits, and integrations without scandal. However, that credibility collapsed on Nov. 3, when the blockchain security firm PeckShield reported that Balancer and several of its forks were under an active exploit spreading across multiple chains.

  • Why did Bitcoin’s largest buyers suddenly stop accumulating?
    CryptoSlate - 18:30 Nov 03, 2025
    For most of 2025, Bitcoin’s floor looked unshakable, supported by an unlikely alliance of corporate treasuries and exchange-traded funds. Companies issued stock and convertible debt to buy the token, while ETF inflows quietly soaked up new supply. Together, they created a durable demand base that helped Bitcoin defy tightening financial conditions. Now, that foundation is […] The post Why did Bitcoin’s largest buyers suddenly stop accumulating? appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • France wants to tax unrealized crypto holdings but also hoard 420,000 BTC
    CryptoSlate - 15:15 Nov 03, 2025
    In the span of one frenetic week, France unveiled seemingly opposing policy tracks. On Oct. 31, the French National Assembly adopted a first-reading amendment rebranding the country’s real estate-only wealth tax into a broader “tax on unproductive wealth” that now explicitly covers digital assets. At the same time, the right-wing Union des droites pour la […] The post France wants to tax unrealized crypto holdings but also hoard 420,000 BTC appeared first on CryptoSlate.

  • How XRP can provide $5B+ daily ‘working capital’ for currency exchanges
    CryptoSlate - 13:12 Nov 03, 2025
    XRP can serve as short-term working capital for currency exchanges, as transactions typically take only a few minutes to complete. Orders move through central exchanges, and if any money needs to be held briefly, companies can hedge that risk using XRP futures. The idea is to use local liquidity at both ends of a transaction […] The post How XRP can provide $5B+ daily ‘working capital’ for currency exchanges appeared first on CryptoSlate.
  • Bull or bear? Today’s $106k retest could decide Bitcoin’s fate
    CryptoSlate - 10:12 Nov 03, 2025
    Bitcoin has treated $106,400 as a pivot across the current cycle, acting as both resistance and support. Price has repeatedly clustered near the level, cleared it on retests, and expanded toward the next channel bands, while breaks below the level often required a repair phase before any advance. My charts below show price channels that […] The post Bull or bear? Today’s $106k retest could decide Bitcoin’s fate appeared first on CryptoSlate.
