 In recent weeks, Cardano (ADA) has stood out as one of the under-performing large-cap cryptocurrencies, having fallen around 30% over a 30-day period and roughly 26% from November 11. Yet beneath this weak performance lie three important signals suggesting that ADA may be gearing up for a rebound. Below, we unpack each of these reasons, discuss the implications, and highlight what to watch out for. 1. Early signs of buying pressure emerging at major support When the price of ADA approached the US$0.45 region — which has been identified as a major support level — two volume-based technical indicators began to shift favourably.  The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF), which tracks the flow of money into or out of an asset based on price and volume, had been in negative territory but began to form a higher peak while the price made a lower low. A divergence of this kind often hints that accumulation may be underway despite the price drop.  The On‑Balance Volume (OBV), which f...

 In a fascinating and important discussion about the future of Bitcoin, leading cryptographer and entrepreneur Adam Back has made it clear that the real story isn’t about quantum computing breaking Bitcoin today , but rather about preparing now for a potential 20-year journey toward quantum resistance.  The Conventional Fear: Quantum Computers vs. Bitcoin For years, the crypto community has cycled through a predictable narrative: “One day a quantum computer will crack Bitcoin’s cryptography and end it.” The pattern is: a lab announces a qubit milestone, hype ensues, panic sets in about Bitcoin’s security, then things quiet down as reality sets in. Adam Back interrupts that story by shifting the frame. He’s saying: this threat may be far off, but the preparation needs to start now .  Back’s Timeframe: 20 to 40 Years Back estimates that Bitcoin is not at immediate risk of being broken by a quantum computer. His comment: “Bitcoin might not face a cryptographically-p...

Despite a roughly 9 % rise over the past month, Pi Coin (PI) is showing technical indications that its recent rebound may be losing steam and could be vulnerable to a correction.  1. A Rebound… But Limited Over the last month PI has regained from about $0.209 to around $0.226, marking a solid bounce. Many might view this as a positive sign of buyer support. Yet, the technicals say caution: despite the price increase, the chart suggests the recovery might be shallow rather than sustainable. 2. Three Technical Warning Flags • Bearish Engulfing Candlestick On the daily chart, a classic bearish engulfing pattern has surfaced: a large red candle fully covering the prior green candle. This typically signals that sellers are stepping in and may gain control after a short-term rally. Notably, each prior occurrence since 21/10 has preceded declines in the range of 8 %–20 %.  • On-Balance Volume (OBV) Trend Break The OBV indicator—measuring net buying versus selling volume—had b...

 In recent trading sessions, the privacy-focused cryptocurrency Monero (XMR) has experienced a sharp downturn, slipping below the key $400 mark. This development reflects mounting bearish sentiment and raises questions about the next level of support and potential downside risk. Sharp Drop and Market Sentiment On Wednesday, Monero dropped more than 9 %, completely erasing the recovery gains achieved over the past weekend. The sharp decline appears to have triggered fear among traders, with the derivatives market registering increased short positions and reduced open interest in XMR futures. For instance, open interest on XMR futures declined by roughly 3.14 %, falling to a 24-hour figure of about USD 78.47 million, signalling that capital may be exiting the space amid waning confidence.  Further illustrating weakening sentiment: the long/short ratio of XMR showed that short positions accounted for 55.48 % of total trading activity, pulling the ratio down to approximately 0....

 In a recent disclosure, leading cryptocurrency exchange Binance announced that only 0.007% of its users’ activity involved interaction with illicit wallets between early 2023 and mid‑2025.  Robust Compliance and Transparency Thanks to recent data from analytics firms Chainalysis and TRM Labs, Binance’s exposure to ‘high‑risk’ or illicit wallet addresses is shown to be exceptionally low—well below the industry average. For the broader centralized‑exchange sector, the exposure rate ranged from 0.018% to 0.023% in mid‑2025; yet Binance managed to bring that figure down to just 0.007%.  Moreover, the reduction in illicit‑wallet interaction at Binance reportedly spans a 96% to 98% drop over the 2023–2025 period, outperforming many peers by several percentage points.  Significance and Implications This statistic is noteworthy for several reasons: It underscores how seriously Binance appears to be treating compliance, user‑safeguarding, and transparency—areas that...

In recent years, Malaysia has confronted a staggering problem — more than $1.1 billion in losses due to rampant illegal cryptocurrency mining, according to national utility provider Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB).  The Crisis at a Glance Between 2020 and August 2025, Malaysian authorities identified 13,827 illicit crypto‑mining sites that manipulated or bypassed electricity meters to steal power. These operations exploited the energy-intensive nature of proof-of-work mining, using as little as possible of their own resources while siphoning off the national grid.  The financial toll has been enormous: TNB has reported cumulative losses equivalent to 4.57 billion ringgit , or roughly $1.1 billion USD .  Why It Happened Unclear Legal Boundaries : While mining cryptocurrency itself is not outright illegal in Malaysia, the issue arises from electricity theft and tampering with utility infrastructure — actions that clearly are. Low Enforcement Costs : For miners, the...

 November has long held a special place in the hearts of many crypto investors. Historically, Bitcoin has delivered its strongest average returns in that month—a statistic that has become a marketing mantra in the crypto world. But a closer look at the facts reveals cracks in that narrative. According to an analysis by CoinPhoton, the oft-quoted average return for Bitcoin in November (41.35 %) is a product of a skewed dataset and a one-off explosion in early years, rather than a reliable forecast.  Why the “strong November” narrative exists From 2013 onward, Bitcoin’s November average return has been reported at around 41.35 %. That figure seems eye-catching—it suggests that investors can expect major upside in November. However, that number owes most of its weight to the first year in the calculation: 2013, when Bitcoin gained approximately 449% in November. Because that one outlier is so large, it skews the whole average upward, making later years seem stronger by comparis...

 In the midst of a turbulent crypto market where many altcoins have plummeted, the token Hyperliquid (HYPE) is standing out with strong performance and promising signals. Despite the broader downturn, HYPE has managed to attract fresh capital and investor attention — raising the question: could it soon reach the $50 mark? Strong performance in a weak market Even as many digital assets struggle, HYPE has registered a growth of approximately 2.7% for the month , indicating new money flowing in. At the time of reporting, HYPE was trading around $38.26 , with a market cap climbing to roughly $13.9 billion .  Notably, HYPE’s trading volume surged by about 57.6% , suggesting increased engagement from investors both in spot and derivatives markets.  This momentum is especially impressive given the overall risk-off sentiment in the marketplace, and suggests HYPE is capturing attention even when other assets are faltering. Technical setup: the “Adam & Eve” pattern From a...

 In a significant regulatory development, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has formally clarified that U.S. banks can hold cryptocurrencies on their balance sheets and pay network (gas) fees in order to facilitate blockchain-based operations. This interpretive letter represents a key step in integrating traditional banking institutions deeper into the digital-asset ecosystem, and it carries both opportunities and challenges. Background: What the OCC Guidance States In its latest interpretive letter (number 1186), the OCC clarifies that banks may maintain crypto assets specifically to pay network transaction fees and to enable blockchain operations.  The letter acknowledges that, for example, on the Ethereum network transactions require payment in ETH, and thus banks may need to hold ETH in a dedicated account in order to execute relevant transactions.  The OCC states: “We confirm that the proposed activities… as described and affirmed by the ban...
