Bitcoin (BTC), that sly fox, briefly leapt above a two-week high of $116,400 on Monday, driven by the faint hope of two macroeconomic spectacles: the FOMC’s interest rate decision and a potential trade deal between the US and China, which might arrive as soon as Thursday. A dance of uncertainty, indeed! 🕺
November’s been HBAR’s jam, with a 14.5% gain in 2023 and a wild 262.5% in 2024. 🌟 But this year, it’s missing the VIP guest: whale support. 🐳 The FOMC meeting just wrapped up, and everyone’s waiting to see if the Fed’s gonna be a Grinch or a Santa. 🎅 Will HBAR get a rate cut gift, or is it coal in the stocking? 🎁
The world, it seems, is finally awakening to the siren song of Bitcoin, though one wonders if it is not already too late for the uninitiated. Japan, in a fit of regulatory enlightenment, now allows its banks to dabble in crypto services, while Europe, ever the tardy guest, sees adoption rates creep upward in 2025. 🌍 But let us not forget the October 10th massacre, when the market crashed with the elegance of a falling chandelier. 💥
Since the 20th of October, Bitcoin’s ETF inflows have been guzzling capital like a thirsty debutante at a champagne fountain-$446 million, no less. Meanwhile, Ethereum’s ETF has been left at the altar, suffering a $244 million outflow, with Fidelity’s FETH leading the exodus like a scorned lover. Not a single ETH ETF has seen a net inflow-it’s consolidation, not rotation, my darlings. Every penny fleeing Ethereum seems to have found a new home in Bitcoin’s velvet-lined vault. 🏦✨

Behold the $1.5 billion Bybit heist of February 2025, a spectacle so grand it would make Louis XIV blush! Investigators from Elliptic and TRM Labs reveal that these scoundrels employed AI-driven reconnaissance tools and deepfake recruiter profiles to infiltrate systems.

The crypto kingdom’s total value, once a timid mouse, now roars at $3.98 trillion! Bitcoin, that bullish jester, dons a $115,102 crown, while Ethereum, with a 6.8% grin, parades at $4,199. BNB and XRP, modest yet proud, inch forward with 2.4% and 1.4% gains respectively. After October’s bloodbath, even the most jaded trader might weep for joy-or perhaps confusion. 😅
Emulating its older siblings Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP decided to form a base above $2.320, embarking on its own tiny journey upwards. It breezed past the $2.380 and $2.450 resistance levels with the ease of a pedestrian crossing a trifling sidewalk before setting the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average abuzz with activity.
