🇺🇸 The U.S. banking regulator has announced that banks are now allowed to hold cryptocurrency specifically for paying network fees on blockchains.
This isn’t about investments — it’s a technical necessity that enables banks to process transactions in digital networks.
It marks the first step toward allowing traditional financial institutions to integrate with crypto infrastructure on an everyday, practical level.

🧬 Ethereum Foundation introduced the concept of the Ethereum Interoperability Layer (EIL) — a unified compatibility layer designed to bring all Layer-2 networks into one cohesive ecosystem.
With EIL, users will be able to move assets and perform actions across different L2s directly from their wallet, without relying on bridges or third-party relayers.
In practice, this is a move toward making all Layer-2 networks function as if they’re components of a single, consolidated Ethereum blockchain.

🇯🇵 Japan is preparing a major crypto reform: 105 tokens, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, will gain financial instrument status with mandatory disclosure requirements for exchanges about issuers and risks, while insider trading will be prohibited.
The crypto profit tax is planned to be drastically reduced from 55% to 20%, matching stock trading rates — changes may be adopted in 2026.

📊 Wintermute released a report noting that the correlation between BTC and the Nasdaq-100 index remains very high — around 0.8.
Yet despite this apparent “friendship,” Bitcoin doesn’t really benefit from the stock market’s strengths; it tends to move in sync with it mainly when things are getting worse.
The analysts also emphasized that this kind of negative asymmetry — when an asset reacts to the downside but doesn’t join in on the upside — has historically appeared not near market tops, but closer to the bottom.

👻 Vitalik Buterin warned at the Devconnect conference that quantum computers could break modern cryptography before the 2028 U.S. presidential election. He urged the Ethereum community to transition to quantum-resistant security methods within the next four years.
Buterin also emphasized that future innovations should be moved to Layer 2 solutions, as well as to wallets and privacy tools, rather than adding more complexity to Ethereum’s core protocol.

🧬 Adam Back explained that quantum computers pose no threat to Bitcoin for at least the next 20–40 years — if ever. Post-quantum signatures already exist (for example, SLH-DSA, standardized by NIST), and they can be gradually incorporated into the protocol.
According to him, Bitcoin will have plenty of time to prepare long before truly cryptographically dangerous quantum machines appear.

🪙 17 years ago today, Satoshi Nakamoto wrote in an email newsletter:
The Bitcoin system turns out to be socially useful and valuable, so node operators will feel like they're making a beneficial contribution to the world through their efforts (similar to various projects where people voluntarily donate their computing power for good causes).
In this case, I think simple altruism may be enough to keep the network running properly.
This is very attractive from a libertarian point of view if we can explain it correctly. Though I'm better with code than with words.

🚬 On X (Twitter), posts are gaining traction as users try to “decode” Changpeng Zhao’s updates, seeing hints about BTC’s movements.
Back in March, when BTC dropped to $84 000, CZ mentioned he was working on a draft of his book with 114 000 words — and about a month later, Bitcoin rose, broke through $114 000, and reached new highs.
On November 8, with BTC around $103 000, he referred to 97 000 words and 300 pages. After BTC briefly fell to $96 000, it bounced back to $97 000, and Zhao added: “Every bottom feels like the end of the world. But time goes on.”
Now users are speculating whether there’s a hidden meaning in his posts — and particularly what the number 300 might signify.

🪙 Activity on the Solana network has dropped to a yearly low — the number of active wallets has fallen to 3.3 million, nearly three times lower than the January peak.
The decline in interest toward memecoins has led to reduced user activity, though Solana still maintains a strong position in DeFi with a total liquidity of around $10 billion.
Experts note that relying too heavily on a single trend makes the ecosystem vulnerable to shifts in market sentiment.
