The crypto industry might be entering its next major phase of growth, and this time it could be driven by something many thought was dead — ICOs. But not the wild, unregulated token sales of 2017. Bitwise Chief Investment Officer Matt Hougan believes compliant ICOs could be the catalyst for the next bull market. In a client note released late Tuesday, Hougan said Coinbase’s launch of a new token sale platform on November 10 marks the beginning of a “regulated comeback” for crypto-based capital formation. The platform is designed to give startups a legal, transparent way to raise funds through…

The British Pound showed resilience on Tuesday, rebounding toward the 1.32 level despite choppy trading conditions. However, key resistance remains near 1.3262 at the 200-day EMA, and while short-term rallies may fade, a close above that critical mark could shift market sentiment. The British Pound initially fell during Tuesday’s trading session, continuing the noisy trading behavior that has characterized recent price action. However, since the early decline, the pair has seen a turnaround, with GBP/USD now attempting a breakout above the psychologically significant 1.32 level. The 1.32 level represents an important technical juncture that market participants are closely monitoring. This…

The private-sector job market contracted slightly in late October, according to newly released weekly data from payroll-processing firm ADP, revealing that the month’s seemingly positive employment gains were heavily front-loaded and disguised underlying weakness as hiring momentum collapsed in the latter half of October. Private-sector employers shed an average of 11,250 jobs per week during the four weeks ending October 25, ADP reported, marking a concerning reversal that suggests the labor market “struggled to produce jobs consistently during the second half of the month.” With official government statistics unavailable, economists and Federal Reserve policymakers must rely on alternative indicators like…

Quick Take: Key Developments Bitcoin, Ethereum and other major cryptocurrencies surged late Sunday on renewed optimism in global markets, buoyed by news that the prolonged U.S. government shutdown may finally end soon as the Senate passed critical funding legislation in a bipartisan 60-40 vote.

User activity on the Solana network has continued to weaken, with the daily active addresses (7-day average) sliding to 3.33 million on October 5, 2025, the lowest level recorded this year, according to Glassnode. This represents a sharp 63% drop from late-2024 highs of over 9 million active addresses, when Solana’s ecosystem was thriving with DeFi and NFT activity. The persistent decline through 2025 highlights reduced retail participation, even as the network remains one of the most efficient and developer-friendly blockchains. Paradoxically, Solana’s price performance tells a different story. As per CoinMarketCap, SOL is trading at $167.51, up 5.96% in…

The USD/JPY staged a decisive recovery on Friday, with buyers reclaiming the psychologically important 153.00 level—signaling that the prevailing uptrend may resume in the short term. Friday’s rebound erased Thursday’s 100-pip or 0.68% decline as traders renewed demand for the US Dollar amid stabilizing Treasury yields. The currency pair’s resilience demonstrates strong technical support around current levels, with the 153.00 zone acting as a critical pivot point that buyers successfully defended. The recovery suggests that Thursday’s selloff represented profit-taking rather than a fundamental shift in market dynamics favoring yen strength. The moving average structure paints a decidedly bullish picture for…
