1️⃣ Ether Blows Past $3K, Builds Bullish Momentum After Trump's Election Win and Fed Rate Cut 📈
The price of ETH finally broke above the $3,000 threshold early Saturday for the first time since August 2. It rose by 23.39% this week, its biggest gain since May, outperforming BTC's 11.2% gain by a significant margin. This follows pro-crypto Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. election and the Fed rate cut earlier this week. Specifically, investors speculate that regulatory barriers for the digital assets industry will be broken down under the Trump administration.

2️⃣ Crypto Mixer Bitcoin Fog Founder Receives 12.5-Year Prison Sentence 🔒
Bitcoin Fog founder Roman Sterlingov has reportedly been sentenced to 12.5 years in prison. For context, Bitcoin Fog is a decade-old cryptocurrency mixer that the United States government claims is a “go-to money laundering service for criminals.” Sterlingov was arrested by the FBI almost four years ago. In March this year, a jury convicted him on charges of money laundering, conspiracy to launder money, operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and transmitting money without a license. In addition to the prison sentence, Sterlingov must pay a “forfeiture money judgment” totalling $395,563,025.39. He is also required to forfeit seized crypto and funds worth approximately $1.76 million.

The FTX bankruptcy estate has reportedly filed over 25 lawsuits that seek to claw back funds from various individuals who received funds from FTX.

Next Week in Crypto: Key Events to Watch (Nov 11th - Nov 17th, 2024) 🗓
With the U.S. elections and Fed interest rate decision behind us, next week is shaping up to be another eventful one. From notable token unlocks to important U.S. economic developments, here’s what to keep on your radar:
---
Token Unlocks:
🔐November 11 – APT Token Unlock
Aptos (APT) will unlock 11.31 million tokens, worth approximately $113 million, representing 2.18% of its circulating supply.
🔐November 15 – STRK Token Unlock
Starknet (STRK) will unlock 64.00 million tokens, worth approximately $27 million, representing 3.05% of its circulating supply.
🔐November 16 – ARB Token Unlock
Arbitrum (ARB) will unlock 92.65 million tokens, worth approximately $56 million, representing 2.33% of its circulating supply.

📊 Key U.S. Economic Data Releases & Events
- November 13 – Consumer Price Index (CPI)
- November 14 – Jerome Powell’s Speech
- November 15 – Retail Sales
🔍 The CPI release is arguably the most important data point of the week. With the Fed recently cutting rates by 25 basis points, markets are divided on the likelihood of another cut in December. If CPI shows a downtrend in inflation, a December cut could be on the table, which would likely be bullish for markets. However, if CPI remains sticky or rises, it’s likely that the Fed will hold interest rates steady, dampening risk-on sentiment.
🔍 Next up is Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech on November 14 at the "Global Perspectives" event. While not an official FOMC meeting, Powell's comments will be closely watched for signals on the Fed’s outlook regarding inflation, the job market, and consumer strength, which could either reinforce or weaken the case for a December rate cut.
🔍 Finally, the Retail Sales data on November 15 will shed light on consumer spending and the strength of the economy. Strong retail sales can be seen as a source of additional inflationary pressures and a robust economy, which could be bearish for markets. Conversely, weaker sales may signal a slowdown, strengthening the case for easing monetary policy.

That’s all for this week’s action! Be sure to keep an eye on these events, and we’ll be back with more updates in the next week’s roundup.
🚨New Video Alert!!🚨
The US has over $35.8 trillion in debt. This is an insane number, and it’s a number that’s only going up. As a… not-so-fun bonus fact, the world has roughly $72.7 trillion in debt, meaning that the US alone accounts for almost half of the global debt level. Crazy stuff.
Naturally, this raises a few questions. Can the US repay its debt? More importantly, what happens if it can’t repay its debt, and goes into default? The answers to these questions are about as scary as you’d imagine. A US government debt default would not only cripple the US economy, but it would also send shockwaves around the entire global economy.
So, what can the US do to avoid going into default? Is there even a possibility that the US can get itself out of debt? Today, we aim to find out. We’ll tell you everything you need to know about the US debt pile, how it’s being maintained, and what would happen if the US defaults. This is a video you’ll want to watch ‘til the end.

🚨New Video Alert!!🚨
Back in March, Ethereum had one of its biggest upgrades to date. Dencun (Ethereum’s most recent upgrade) was the most important hard fork since the historic Merge that took place in September 2022.
Ethereum’s next hard fork is Pectra, which is set to take place in Q1 2025, and it’s a big one. So big in fact that Ethereum developers have made the decision to split it in two. That’s because it was originally set to include over 20 Ethereum Improvement Proposals, or EIPs. For perspective, the Dencun upgrade had just 9 EIPs.
One of the biggest improvements is with wallets. As a fun bonus fact: the EIP that makes this change is EIP-7702, which replaces EIP-3074 (which had a similar intention, but there were a few flaws). Vitalik Buterin wrote the code for EIP-7702 in just 22 minutes. Crazy stuff.
Anyway, Pectra’s impact will not only improve the user experience (UX) of Ethereum, but it could be the very catalyst that ETH has been crying out for to hit new all time highs. Make no mistake, this could be incredibly bullish for ETH’s price. If you hold ETH, or are thinking of scooping some up, this is a video you’ll want to watch all the way through.

GOATSEUS MAXIMUS
The price of GOAT has rallied by 46% in the past 24 hours.
WHY?!
‼️ Part of a larger market rally as investors anticipate bullish developments for the crypto industry on Trump’s victory in the U.S. Presidential elections.
❓ While not yet official, Trump is just three electoral college votes away from securing his second term as president. At the time of writing, Associated Press' real-time tracker shows that Trump still holds leads in Michigan, Wisconsin, Alaska, Arizona and Nevada. Just one of these states would confirm him to another term.
📈 This bullish outlook seems to have reignited a rally among tokens that saw the most attention over the past month, including $GOAT.

🚨New Video Alert!!🚨
Solana has been flipping Ethereum by many metrics, and this has everyone wondering if SOL could flip ETH by market cap too. It’s too soon to say for sure, but SOL is certainly on the right track.
Over the last few months, Solana’s demand metrics have been going parabolic, so much so that it’s raised suspicions that most of this activity is coming from bots. It seems that some of it is.
Even so, large amounts of real money is flowing into SOL and Solana’s ecosystem. With FTX creditors set to be repaid and a spot Solana ETF in process, SOL just might flip ETH by the time this cycle is over.

1️⃣ British Pension Fund First to Add Bitcoin to Balance Sheet ▶️
According to the United Kingdom-based pensions advisory firm Cartwright, an “unnamed pension scheme” in the country has put BTC on its balance sheet. Specifically, Cartwright stated that it recommended the unnamed client in the UK to make a 3% allocation to BTC. This makes it the first move of its kind in the country.
Sam Roberts, Cartwright’s director of investment consulting stated,
We are proud to have led this groundbreaking move which we hope will be the start of a trend for institutional investors in the UK to catch up with their increasing number of peers and competitors around the world who are already taking advantage of Bitcoin’s unique attributes.
Regardless of what happens in the 2024 elections, we’re committed to supporting policymakers, irrespective of party affiliation, who will work to establish a practical regulatory framework that protects consumers while allowing the industry to grow.
We are capitalising on the opportunity to maximise stakeholder value by accumulating bitcoin. We plan to continue to purchase bitcoin with cash from operations and with cash proceeds from our sales under our ATM program. In addition, we are exploring additional financing opportunities that will enable us to acquire even more bitcoin.

1️⃣ Ethereum Foundation's Treasury Shrunk 39% Over 2.5 Years to $970M 🧐
The Ethereum Foundation’s recently released financial report reveals that it had $970.2 million in its treasury as of Oct.31. Notably, that’s a 39% decrease from the $1.6 billion it held on March 31, 2022. The foundation reportedly spent $105.4 million in 2022 and $134.9 million last year. The latest disclosure comes after many community members pushed the foundation to be more transparent about its financial holdings.
The reports show that 81.3% of the foundation's treasury is held in crypto, with almost all of that held in ETH. It stated,
We choose to hold the majority of our treasury in ETH. The EF believes in Ethereum’s potential, and our ETH holdings represent that long term perspective. At the same time, the goal of the EF’s treasury is to fund important public goods for the Ethereum ecosystem for years into the future. To achieve this goal we must follow a conservative treasury management policy that ensures we have sufficient resources even in the case of a multi-year market downturn.
This transaction marks Tether Investments’ first crude oil transaction in the region and highlights the company’s expanding role in global commodities trading.

1️⃣ Bitcoin Price Hits New All-Time High Amid US Election Hype ‼️
The price of BTC hit a new all-time high just above $75,000 on crypto exchanges Binance, Coinbase and others in Asian morning hours Wednesday as favourable election results for crypto-friendly Republican Donald Trump began to roll in. At the time of writing, Trump has officially been elected as the 47th president of the United States. His win in Wisconsin put him over the threshold of 270 electoral votes needed to clinch the presidency.

2️⃣ Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Breaks Through 100 Trillion For The First Time 💸
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty reportedly rose 6.2% yesterday to hit an all-time high of 101.65 trillion (T) at block height 868,896. This exceeds its prior high of 95.7 trillion set just two weeks ago. The higher the difficulty, the more computational power and energy a miner needs to find the right hash for the next block. This new all-time high mining difficulty adds pressure on smaller miners, who may not have as much cash available as their publicly traded rivals to keep their rigs going.

5️⃣ Binance, CZ File Motion to Dismiss SEC’s Amended Complaint ❓
Lawyers for crypto exchange Binance and founder CZ have reportedly filed a motion asking the court to dismiss an amended complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Notably, the SEC’s amended complaint targets additional tokens such as AXS, FIL, ATOM, SAND and MANA. Binance lawyers argue that the SEC’s amended complaint insists that virtually all transactions involving crypto assets, including blind secondary market resales of tokens, are securities transactions on the basis that some buyers may hope the assets will increase in value. They claim the SEC’s amended claims against Binance “fail as a matter of law” and should be dismissed with prejudice and without leave to amend.
