Ripple’s Global Rise Highlights Its Absence in Canada

There has been a noticeable jump in money flowing into XRP ETFs lately, and I think that says a lot about where institutional attention is shifting. We are talking about hundreds of millions entering regulated XRP products, which is not something you see during a weak market. To me, this looks like bigger investors warming up to the idea of getting XRP exposure in a straightforward, compliant way.
For beginners who might not know the full story, XRP is a bit different from other cryptocurrencies. It was designed mainly for payments and fast money movement, not for running apps or smart contracts. Its big selling point is speed and efficiency. Transactions settle in seconds and cost almost nothing. Because of that, banks and payment companies have experimented with XRP as a way to move money across borders more efficiently than traditional systems.
However, to fully understand the story behind XRP, it's crucial to examine its deep and sometimes controversial connection to Ripple Labs, the private company that has played a defining role in the cryptocurrency's journey. The connection is rooted in their shared origin: the XRP Ledger was developed by engineers who later co-founded Ripple, and 80 billion of the 100 billion pre-mined XRP were initially gifted to the new company. Today, Ripple uses XRP in its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service to facilitate fast and low-cost cross-border payments for financial institutions, utilizing the cryptocurrency as a bridge between different fiat currencies. Additionally, Ripple's active development efforts on the XRP Ledger and its large escrowed XRP holdings mean the company continues to play a significant role in the XRP ecosystem.

From a Canadian standpoint, it was exciting to see @Ripple hiring for their Toronto office back in 2022. Many of us hoped they would plug into the local Web3 scene in a meaningful way. Instead, it feels like they focused mostly on hiring great talent here, which is fine, but they did not really participate in community conversations the way other ecosystems do. I personally reached out multiple times on behalf of @dao_toronto, hoping to get Ripple involved, but it became clear that Canada is not a major priority for them beyond staffing. Still, I am glad they provide jobs for local engineers. I just hope more companies see Canada not only as a place to hire, but as a place to collaborate and help shape the future of Web3.
None of this is financial advice, just my observations.

Last week I gave a presentation on Bitcoin and Crypto to the NextGen Professionals (AY Canada) society. We talked about how it all started and why Bitcoin made sense to so many people. We talked about other crypto and how it's different from Bitcoin, and touched upon stablecoins. We also discussed risks associated with crypto and even touched upon quantum technology. Special thanks to Lurio for the invite and to all event organizers, officers and participants.

Grayscale Makes a Big Move on @Zcash, and Canada Should Be Paying Attention (PRIVACY, CARL!)

Zcash has been around for some time now, and to be honest I wasn’t paying too much attention to it. This was the case until @Naval started posting about it on X last month. I don’t remember him ever propping up non top 3 crypto out of the blue (maybe he did?), so that was weird to me. Zcash is up more than 800% for the year and it seems like every crypto thought leader is now going all in on the privacy narrative.

In latest news, @Grayscale just filed to convert its Zcash Trust into a spot ETF. If this gets approved, it would be one of the first regulated investment products in the United States built around a privacy-focused cryptocurrency. That alone makes it interesting, because privacy coins usually sit in a very uncomfortable spot between innovation and regulatory concerns.

So what is Zcash? Zcash is a crypto project built around privacy. It lets users hide the sender, receiver or amount using zero knowledge proofs, which is very different from Bitcoin’s fully public transactions. The big rally this year came from people paying more attention to privacy again (privacy to the moon!), plus a surge of interest in zero knowledge tech across Web3. With all the talk about surveillance, data tracking and real ownership online, Zcash suddenly felt relevant again, and that hype pushed the price up fast.

Now back to Grayscale. Grayscale basically wants to take its current Zcash Trust and turn it into a regular ETF so it works more smoothly and is easier for investors to understand. Talk about the timing! There’s definitely a lot of buzz/hype about Zcash and Privacy™ so the timing to create a Zcash ETF is understandable, but we shall see if it passes SEC’s scrutiny…

From a Canadian point of view, this is a moment worth watching. Canada has been active on the regulatory front, especially with stablecoins and compliance rules, but privacy-focused assets are still a grey area. If the United States inches toward a regulated structure for Zcash, it will almost certainly spark conversations here. Canadian exchanges and regulators tend to take cues from U.S. developments, especially when it comes to new ETF categories. We saw that with Bitcoin and Ethereum. A Zcash ETF would force a fresh debate about what privacy means in a regulated financial environment in Canada.

None of this is financial advice. Just my read on a trend that could ripple into our own market. If Grayscale pulls this off, it could open the door to more institutional interest in privacy tech and spark a new round of discussions about how Canada wants to approach the next chapter of crypto regulation.

Bitcoin Slows Down While Canada’s Crypto Landscape Speeds Up

Bitcoin spent most of today going sideways and slowly trending down, and honestly, the calm itself feels like a signal. After the kind of volatility we have had, a period of stagnation usually means the market is trying to find its footing. It is not excitement, but it is also not panic. Just a weird in-between moment where everyone is waiting for the next piece of macro news to hit.

What stood out to me this morning is how quickly the conversation has shifted toward a more dovish outlook from the Federal Reserve. Expectations for a potential rate cut in December have climbed sharply. When people think borrowing could get cheaper, it often softens the mood across all risk assets. Nothing guaranteed, but the tone is noticeably different from a week ago.
This kind of environment usually creates confusion. You have caution on one side and improving macro expectations on the other. That mix tends to produce choppy trading, but it can also set the stage for a more meaningful recovery if adoption and usage continue rising. Crypto thrives when innovation keeps moving even during quiet market periods, and that part of the ecosystem is still very alive.
On the Canadian side, this is all happening while regulators continue tightening the framework around stablecoins and compliance. We are heading into a phase where clarity is becoming the norm rather than the exception. I am seeing more Canadian founders shift toward building things that actually solve problems rather than chasing quick wins. With the market quiet, the long term thinkers are the ones who stand out.

I’m seeing a lot of interest from sponsors towards the @dao_toronto Crypto Christmas Party that I’m organizing. Today, we secured a partnership with Sui Ecosystem, which is a sign that the big players are betting big on the north.

None of this is financial advice. These are just my observations as someone who follows these trends daily. Bitcoin might drift lower or find a base soon, but the broader picture feels like a slow reset rather than a breakdown. And for Canada’s Web3 ecosystem, that quiet reset might be exactly the kind of space builders need right now.

This morning, as I was taking my walk along Lakeshore Boulevard, I checked the Bitcoin price on my 13th-generation iPhone. The price had rebounded to 86K. Emotionally, it did not mean much to me, which is very different from how I felt in 2022, when I was full of hope for a quick rebound that would trigger a larger market turn. This time, it is just business as usual.

The weekend rebound in Bitcoin and a bunch of major altcoins caught my attention. It does look more like an early sign of a broader recovery rather than a quick bounce back. November has historically been a strong month for Bitcoin; yes past performance is not any indicator of the future but it’s still interesting that retail is finally selling is taking the chill pill. So maybe the market is forming some kind of bottom.

Ethereum climbing back above the 2,800 range also feels important. (BTW, I’m gonna write a separate post on how quantum BTC FUDers* making a case for a safer ETH.) A lot of that momentum is coming from people looking ahead to upgrades like Fusaka. The focus there is on improving efficiency, boosting DeFi activity and making the network easier to scale. When upgrades target actual bottlenecks instead of hype, it shows the ecosystem is maturing. (Wen moon tho? Am I right?)

From a Canadian angle, this uptick arrives at an interesting moment. Regulators here are tightening the rules around stablecoins and compliance, and enforcement has been more aggressive. Conversely, I’m now seeing a handful of startups that are working on creating a Canadian stablecoin. More Canadian developers and Web3 teams are experimenting with real world applications as the noise settles. I am seeing more builders in Toronto and Vancouver focus on long term products rather than chasing quick pumps, which is a good sign for the ecosystem.

None of this is financial advice. These are just my observations. The rebound might turn into something bigger or it might flatten out again. But the combination of improving sentiment, upcoming tech upgrades and Canada’s push for clearer rules makes me think the space is slowly moving in a healthier direction.

Market Dip, Not Doom, and Why Canada Should Pay Attention

Bitcoin dropping into the 87K range looks like a normal market cooldown to me or maybe too familiar… It’s not the beginning of anything dramatic. After the kind of run we just had, it makes sense for things to slow down. Add in global regulatory pressure and higher interest rates around the world, and you get a bit of turbulence across all risk assets. Crypto is tied into those macro conversations now, so you feel the ripple effects quickly.

What still stands out to me is that the long term story has not changed. Institutions are still involved, onchain activity is still strong, and real world adoption keeps growing across payments, DeFi and Web3 tools (check out @SolanaConf Dubai in a couple of weeks). These things matter more than one red day on the chart.

From a Canadian perspective, this moment lines up with our own regulatory shifts. Ottawa is moving ahead with draft rules for stablecoins and tightening compliance expectations for platforms operating here. We just saw a record sized enforcement action against a crypto firm that ignored anti money laundering rules, which shows how serious the country is about cleaning up the space. Even in the middle of a market dip, the infrastructure conversation in Canada keeps moving forward. I mean I surely hope it will continue and not get discouraged by the market moves.

I think this phase is less about panic and more about consolidation. When the market cools, it shakes out some noise and makes space for better builders and clearer ideas. I am talking to a lot of Web3 teams across Canada these days, and the mood is actually pretty constructive. I’m writing this post out of Solana @SuperteamCAN's Vibestation (Solana backed co-working space) and everyone is just kinda going about their day, business as usual. People want real partnerships and real products, not hype.

Not financial advice. Just my observations. The market will keep doing what it does, but for Canada’s Web3 ecosystem, this feels like another reminder that steady progress matters more than any short term price candle.

Hyperliquid’s Fee Cuts and What They Might Mean for the Market

Hyperliquid just announced that it is cutting fees as part of its newest upgrade, and I think the timing says a lot about where the market is mentally right now. With volatility up and competition between exchanges heating up, fee cuts feel like a way to pull in more traders and keep liquidity flowing. Lower fees give active traders a bit more breathing room, especially in a market that is getting more expensive and more emotional by the week. In theory, more people trading should help stabilize liquidity across the board.

When I worked at centralized CoinSmart (acquired by @WonderFi) and @bitget , the competition was always vicious, we’d pay our top KOLs and affiliates 10x more than we’d usually offer just to undercut our direct competitors. No fee seasons, crazy sign up bonuses were a normal thing especially when the market would turn bearish. All that drove CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost) through the roof, but in the end we had high conviction that it was worth it in the long long term.
For now, this feels like an attempt to reset momentum and show users that the platform is paying attention to what traders want.
Not financial advice, just my take.

The World Hesitates, and Canada Tightens Its Crypto Playbook
As someone who watches Web3 and crypto trends, here’s what I’m thinking right now.

The odds of a December Fed rate cut have dropped, with markets now putting the chances somewhere around one third to one half. A big part of that comes from delays in key labour data and a general sense that the macro picture is foggy; BTW how weird was that? As someone who has subscribed to the BLS newsletter since 2011, I’ve never seen such a messy situation with reporting! Not blaming the Trump administration, things got weird for a long time now. Anyways, when the usual signals are unclear, you get hesitation, repricing and a lot of second guessing.

What interests me is how crypto reacts in this kind of environment. Digital assets are now clearly tied into the same global conversations that move stocks and bonds even though I did say yesterday that stocks and crypto don’t have to go hand in hand, sometimes they do. We are not seeing a clean breakout, but we are also not seeing a full collapse. It feels more like the market is trying to find a new balance while everyone processes the macro noise. BTC finally collapsed below 90K, let’s see how long till it finds its bottom.

From a Canadian angle, the timing is pretty important. Ottawa is pushing ahead on regulation, including a draft stablecoin framework that would require strong reserves and clear redemption rules. BTW this is seen as significant news in @dao_toronto telegram chat, personally I think the jury is still out on this.

Put together, it looks like this: global uncertainty on one side, and a slow but steady tightening of rules in Canada on the other. Long overdue for Canada to get its crypto house in order. That combination can feel uncomfortable in the short term, but it also creates space for more serious, long term builders to step forward. Teams that lean into transparency, risk controls and real products are more likely to stand out as the noise gets filtered out. Anecdotally, I’m speaking to several web3 companies in Canada right now, and I see more openness in doing customer acquisition work together (follow @parkdalle).

This is not financial advice, just observations. The macro picture will keep shifting. Rate odds will move up and down. But for Canada’s Web3 and crypto ecosystem, this moment looks like an opportunity to focus on clarity, resilience and user trust rather than chasing quick wins.

[Samir Azizi @AdoubleZI]

Here’s why Canada might actually benefit amid crypto just hitting “Extreme Fear.”

When I look at the crypto market this week, it doesn’t look to me like it’s over™; perhaps because this is not my first rodeo... I see a reset. Bitcoin dipping and the fear index dropping into “extreme fear” might look scary at first, but I think moments like this usually show that the market is clearing out a lot of excess and emotion (so long paper hands). The big liquidations we saw, close to a billion dollars, are a reminder of how sensitive crypto can be when too many people and institutions use leverage. It shakes out fast. Although, this morning it did seem like the BTC price was artificially kept above 90k which is not good, in my opinion.

I think this is one of those times where the noise is loud, but the bigger picture is quieter. When in doubt, zoom out. Crypto is not the stock market, it moves differently and adheres to different “laws of physics.” Stocks are tied to the broader economy. Crypto reacts more to hype, liquidity and FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). That is why the two can look completely different even on the same day.

From a Canadian perspective, this reset is interesting to watch. Canada has been tightening its approach to crypto. We just saw a huge fine issued to a crypto dealer (Xeltox) for failing to follow anti money laundering rules. That tells me the country is taking the space seriously, and it also tells me that Canada wants a cleaner, safer ecosystem as the industry matures. That feels like the right direction if we want long term growth.

For builders and communities here in Canada (like @dao_toronto), this is actually a good time to focus on fundamentals, compliance, better products and stronger user education. None of this is advice, just my view of where the vibe seems to be shifting.
