“MSCI Confirms Strategy’s Removal from Global Indexes”
MSCI has officially confirmed that Strategy, the company widely known for its massive Bitcoin holdings, will be removed from its global equity indexes at the end of November. The decision follows months of debate over whether companies that primarily hold digital assets should qualify as regular operating businesses within major stock market indexes. According to MSCI’s final November review, Strategy has been marked for deletion alongside Japan-based Metaplanet and crypto treasury company Upexi. Ether-focused treasury company Sharplink, meanwhile, remains on a watchlist. The changes will take effect after the market closes on November 30, 2026. Following the announcement, Strategy shares fell 1.65% in after-hours trading.
“Bitcoin Fails to Join the Stock Market Rally as US Bond Yields Hit 5%”
Bitcoin is struggling to gain momentum around $74,000, even as US stock markets recover and investors return to buying technology stocks. On Wednesday, November 11, Bitcoin traded within a narrow range, failing to follow the broader equity market rally. Technology stocks performed better, with cloud computing company CoreWeave jumping more than 20% after reporting stronger-than-expected third-quarter revenue and raising its 2026 outlook. Nvidia also opened approximately 2.5% higher. However, Bitcoin’s movement remained limited, highlighting a growing difference between crypto market sentiment and traditional stock market performance.
“Suiet Wallet Shuts Down as Sui Ecosystem Faces More Exits”
The Sui ecosystem is facing another setback as Suiet, a self-custodial crypto wallet built for the Sui blockchain, announces that it is shutting down. The wallet will stop receiving updates and support, while its API services will remain operational only until November 14, 2026. The decision comes amid declining activity across the network. Sui’s total value locked (TVL) has dropped more than 22% over the past month to approximately $413 million. Even more concerning, daily active users fell from around 601,000 in November 2025 to just 128,000 in October 2026, marking a decline of nearly 79%.
“Initia Hit by Second Exploit in Three Weeks as $3.27M Is Stolen”
Blockchain network Initia has suffered its second security exploit in less than three weeks, with attackers stealing approximately $3.27 million in crypto assets. According to the project, the latest attack involved compromised Google Cloud credentials, which allowed the attacker to gain unauthorised access to its cloud infrastructure and other accounts. The attacker then exploited the system to approve fraudulent withdrawals across five rollups, draining assets held in network escrow accounts. Initia said around $2.16 million of the stolen funds remain frozen on its network. The project has halted its Layer-1 blockchain while investigating the incident and working on recovery efforts.
“Bitcoin’s Biggest Buying Opportunity? Mark Moss Sees a Major Shift Ahead”
Investor Mark Moss believes Bitcoin may be entering one of its biggest buying opportunities, despite its recent price decline. According to Moss, growing support from Wall Street, banks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is making Bitcoin more accessible to mainstream investors. However, many people still remain sceptical about the cryptocurrency, creating what he sees as an opportunity for those who understand its long-term potential. Moss first bought Bitcoin in 2015, when its price was around $300, and believes the market is now moving beyond its early-adopter phase.
“Bitcoin ETFs Lose $1.6B as Stock Investors Buy the Dip”
US spot Bitcoin ETFs have recorded around $1.6 billion in net outflows since the beginning of November, showing that investors are pulling money out of Bitcoin funds even as the stock market attracts fresh investment. On Tuesday alone, Bitcoin ETFs saw another $95 million in withdrawals. BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) accounted for $78 million of those outflows, marking its eighth consecutive trading session of withdrawals. However, the pace of withdrawals has started slowing, falling from $430 million on Thursday to $95 million on Tuesday.
“North Korean Hackers Use Newly Created Memecoins to Move Stolen Binance Funds”
North Korean-linked hackers have reportedly found another way to move stolen cryptocurrency from the massive Binance hack, this time by creating their own memecoins. According to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, the attackers created at least six new tokens on the NEAR blockchain between November 5 and 7. They then used decentralised exchange liquidity pools to move approximately 117,000 NEAR, worth around $430,000, between different wallets. The interesting part is that these tokens were not created to attract regular investors or build a crypto project. Instead, they were used as temporary assets to make the movement of stolen funds appear like ordinary token trading.
“Bitcoin Rebounds Above $75K, But Analysts Warn of a Possible Drop to $68K”
Bitcoin recovered above $75,000 as US stock markets, particularly technology stocks, showed signs of strength. The rebound came after BTC dropped to approximately $73,500, its lowest level in around 11 weeks. At the same time, the Nasdaq Composite gained around 2.5% during early trading, suggesting that investors were returning to riskier assets despite concerns surrounding Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Nvidia shares initially dropped around 6% before recovering during the trading session. Falling oil prices also helped support broader financial markets, giving Bitcoin some relief from recent selling pressure.
“Strategy Adds Another 1,036 Bitcoin, Now Holds Over 850,000 BTC”
Strategy continues to increase its Bitcoin reserves, adding another 1,036 BTC worth approximately $81.9 million between November 2 and November 8. The latest purchase brings the company’s total Bitcoin holdings to 850,364 BTC, representing around 4.05% of Bitcoin’s maximum supply of 21 million coins. Strategy acquired the latest batch at an average price of $79,012 per Bitcoin. Overall, the company has spent approximately $64.16 billion accumulating its Bitcoin reserves, with an average purchase price of $75,456 per BTC.
"BITCOIN REBOUNDS FROM SEVEN-WEEK LOW BELOW $76K AMID US POLITICAL SHIFT"
Bitcoin dropped to a seven-week low of $75,618 following the Democratic Party’s victory in the US midterm elections, before recovering toward $78,000. The sharp decline triggered significant liquidations, with nearly $288 million in crypto long positions wiped out over 24 hours. Market analysts attributed the volatility to investor reactions to the changing US political landscape and broader economic uncertainty. Despite the rebound, Bitcoin continues to face resistance around the $78,000 level. Analysts warn that the 50-week moving average, currently near $75,733, remains a crucial support level for maintaining its upward trend. A sustained break below this level could expose Bitcoin to a deeper market correction.
"DEMOCRATS TARGET TRUMP AND TECH GIANTS WITH LEGAL SCRUTINY AFTER MIDTERM WINS"
Following their midterm election victory, Democratic lawmakers have announced plans to investigate major technology companies and scrutinize US President Donald Trump's business dealings. Several lawmakers warned that Big Tech executives could face subpoenas and congressional hearings when the new Congress begins in January. Senator Ed Markey indicated that technology leaders should prepare for extensive congressional questioning. Incoming House Oversight Committee chairman Robert Garcia also signaled investigations into alleged corporate corruption, Trump's business interests and government-related controversies.
"TRUMP-LINKED CRYPTO ASSETS SLUMP FOLLOWING DEMOCRATIC MIDTERM SWEEP"
Trump-linked cryptocurrencies suffered sharp losses following the Democratic Party’s victories in the US midterm elections, even as the broader crypto market rallied. Official Trump (TRUMP) plunged 17% to $1.33, while World Liberty Financial (WLFI) declined more than 7% to $0.047. The election results could complicate Trump's crypto-related plans and bring increased scrutiny to his family's digital asset businesses. Meanwhile, Bitcoin surged over 4% to around $80,500, while Ethereum gained 6%, reflecting a broader market recovery.
Other politically associated tokens, including MELANIA, also recorded significant declines, highlighting weakening investor confidence in political cryptocurrencies. Analysts suggest these tokens are more vulnerable to political developments and changing investor sentiment than established digital assets. The election outcome could also influence the future of US crypto legislation, particularly the stalled CLARITY Act and proposed conflict-of-interest regulations.
"DEMOCRATS ASSERT SENATE CONTROL IN MAJOR US POLITICAL CLAIM"
Democrats have secured control of the US Senate after winning several previously Republican-held seats, potentially reshaping the future of cryptocurrency regulation. The shift could significantly affect the stalled CLARITY Act, committee leadership and congressional oversight of the crypto industry. Democratic lawmakers may also increase scrutiny of Trump-linked crypto businesses and influence future appointments to key financial regulatory positions. Industry experts believe the legislation will require bipartisan support to move forward, particularly after failing a Senate procedural vote in September.
Analysts suggest that stronger consumer protection measures and conflict-of-interest rules could become central to future crypto legislation. However, industry leaders warn that turning cryptocurrency regulation into a partisan issue could slow innovation and create further uncertainty for the US market.
"SPACEX OPPOSES OKX LISTING AS TOKENIZED STOCK DEMAND GROWS"
SpaceX has formally objected to plans by OKXICE to introduce tokenized versions of its shares, joining 56 other companies opposing the proposed listings. The move comes as tokenized SpaceX shares have gained significant popularity on offshore crypto platforms since June. The proposed OKXICE platform, backed by crypto exchange OKX and Intercontinental Exchange, aims to bring tokenized stock trading to US investors under a new SEC regulatory framework.
The framework allows companies to challenge third-party token listings before they become available for trading. Meanwhile, SpaceX-linked tokens on Backpack and Kraken recorded substantial trading volumes, exceeding $1 billion and $852 million respectively in June. Critics, including Nasdaq, have warned that tokenized stocks could fragment market liquidity and weaken traditional shareholder value. Despite growing opposition, OKXICE expects adoption of tokenized securities to expand as companies recognize their potential benefits.
"BITCOIN FACES $77.7K SUPPORT BREAKDOWN AS RECENT BUYERS SLIP INTO LOSSES"
Bitcoin is facing increased downside pressure after falling below the $77,700 cost basis of investors who purchased BTC one to three months ago. Onchain data suggests this level could now turn into resistance as recent buyers move into unrealized losses. Analysts identify $68,400 as a potential support zone, representing an estimated 12% loss for this investor group. Bitcoin is also approaching the short-term holder realized price of $75,832, another important level for market stability.
If prices fall further, investor profitability could weaken, increasing the risk of selling pressure and short-term market capitulation. Historically, similar declines have been followed by recovery attempts, making these price levels crucial for Bitcoin's next market direction.
"BINANCE OPENS SECOND WITHDRAWAL PHASE AS EXCHANGE OUTFLOWS EASE"
Binance is preparing to launch the second phase of cryptocurrency withdrawals on Tuesday, following the initial reopening on November 1 after the $6.3 billion hack. Additional assets will gradually become available from 04:00 UTC as security and readiness checks are completed. The exchange is prioritizing tokens based on recent user demand, with major networks including Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Tron and Arbitrum included in the rollout.
Binance has also restored withdrawals for several fiat currencies, while deposits remain fully available. Meanwhile, exchange outflows have slowed, with net withdrawals falling to $2.57 billion on Monday from $6.1 billion the previous day. Binance has also warned users about scammers impersonating the exchange and offering fake withdrawal assistance or priority processing services.
"AUSTRALIA HIKES INTEREST RATES TO 18-YEAR HIGH AS AI BOOM FUELS INFLATION"
Australia’s central bank has raised its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.85%, marking its highest level in 18 years. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) cited rising energy prices and increased investment in artificial intelligence as key drivers of inflation. The decision was approved by a 6–3 vote, with three members favouring no change.
The central bank warned that inflation could remain elevated through much of 2027, delaying its forecast for inflation to return to the target range. Australian Treasurer Jim Chalmers said the rate hike would create further financial pressure on households and businesses. The move contrasts with the US Federal Reserve, which recently decided to keep interest rates unchanged despite similar concerns over AI-driven costs.
"NORTH KOREA DENIES BINANCE HACK ALLEGATIONS, BLAMES US"
North Korea has denied allegations of involvement in the $6.3 billion Binance hack, with Kim Yo Jong rejecting the FBI’s claims against the country. She described the accusations as politically motivated attempts to damage North Korea’s international reputation. Kim also suggested, without providing evidence, that the United States could be linked to the theft. The FBI had attributed the attack to a North Korean-backed hacking group known as TraderTraitor.
However, blockchain intelligence firms TRM Labs, Chainalysis and investigator ZachXBT have also linked the incident to North Korean hackers. Investigators cited similarities with previous cyberattacks, including suspicious transactions and cryptocurrency laundering activities. The allegations remain disputed, with North Korea continuing to deny any involvement.
"BTCPAY SERVER WARNS OF HOT WALLET THEFT RISKS FROM OUTDATED SOFTWARE"
BTCPay Server has warned operators to shut down their servers after reports of unauthorized attackers draining funds from users’ hot wallets. Its investigation identified a potential attack targeting outdated software versions 2.4.1 and earlier, while no credible wallet theft reports have been linked to the latest version 2.4.7. The platform has urged all operators to update their installations to the latest release to protect their funds.
"BINANCE OPENS FIRST WITHDRAWAL PHASE FOLLOWING $6.3B HACK"
Binance has begun reopening withdrawals in phases following the massive $6.3 billion hack attributed to North Korean hackers by the FBI. The exchange confirmed that Bitcoin (BTC) network withdrawals have been restored as the first phase of its recovery process. Binance plans to gradually reopen other networks and assets based on user demand, while completing necessary security and stability checks.
