Enso announces day-one integration and full support for Monad Mainnet launch

What to Know: BitMine has bought 21,537 more $ETH for about $60M, now holding 
over 3% of supply despite roughly $4B in unrealized losses. The company plans 
a US-based MAVAN validator network to generate staking revenue and turn its 
massive Ethereum stack into active infrastructure. SUBBD is building an AI- 
powered creator content platform on Ethereum, using $SUBBD for payments, 
rewards, and access to automated content tools. The $SUBBD presale combines 
fixed 20% staking rewards with multi-x upside forecasts, but remains a high- 
risk early-stage Ethereum ecosystem play. BitMine has just grabbed another 
21,537 Ethereum tokens for around $60M, even though it is already sitting on 
roughly $4B in unrealized losses on its $ETH stack. The company now controls 
more than 3% of the entire Ethereum supply, making it one of the most 
important non-foundation players anchoring the network. That is not what 
capitulation looks like. This fresh buy comes after Ethereum slid more than 
25% in a month, putting digital asset treasuries under heavy scrutiny. $ETH is 
currently below $3K – hovering around $2.8K. Yet BitMine keeps saying the 
drawdown is a liquidity shock, not a signal that Ethereum’s fundamentals are 
breaking. Instead of trimming risk, it is doubling down and preparing to turn 
its holdings into an active business line. The firm has outlined plans for a 
US-based validator network called MAVAN (Made in America Validator Network), 
expected to go live next year and focused on staking Ethereum in a fully 
regulated model. The idea is simple: if you already own billions in $ETH, you 
might as well earn yield and become part of the network’s security backbone, 
rather than just watching price candles. For smaller investors who cannot spin 
up an industrial validator farm, this kind of move still matters. If a major 
treasury is willing to absorb eye-watering paper losses while building out 
Ethereum infrastructure, it is a strong vote of confidence in the chain that 
underpins most of DeFi, NFTs and, increasingly, AI-focused tokens. 💡 That is 
where SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) comes in, positioning itself as an AI creator 
platform native to Ethereum at the very moment large players are reinforcing 
the base layer. SUBBD Token Powers AI Creator Utilities on Ethereum SUBBD is 
built around a straightforward idea: creators spend far too much time on admin 
work and not enough time actually creating. Plus they are charged management 
fees that eat away at any profit they make. That&#8217;s why this project uses AI 
agents and automation to handle tasks like scheduling, tier management, 
personalized responses and analytics so that creators can focus on content 
while fans get a smoother experience. ⚙️ The $SUBBD token sits at the center 
of this ecosystem. It is used for subscription payments, tips, access to 
exclusive content and early access to new AI features. Holders also tap into 
perks such as loyalty rewards and platform benefits that are designed to keep 
the most engaged fans inside the ecosystem instead of bouncing between 
centralized platforms with high fees and opaque rules. The project’s ecosystem 
potentially reaches millions of followers across roughly 2K top influencers 
plugged into the broader SUBBD brand. That scale matters. If even a small 
percentage of those fans migrate to on-chain subscriptions and rewards, on- 
chain activity can build up quickly, especially on an Layer-1 like Ethereum, 
where BitMine and other big treasuries are reinforcing security via staking. 
The project whitepaper frames SUBBD as part of the wider creator economy, 
which already sits around the tens of billions of dollars in annual value. By 
moving fan payments, perks and AI tools on-chain, the project is trying to 
turn a Web2-style subscription model into a tokenized system where value 
accrues not just to a platform, but also to token holders and active 
participants. 💡 In other words, while BitMine is building ‘physical’ Ethereum 
infrastructure through MAVAN, SUBBD is aiming to build the application layer 
where human and AI ‘digital labor’ actually earns revenue. If Ethereum’s long- 
term story plays out the way BitMine is betting, creator platforms that live 
directly on the network are positioned to benefit from that same recovery. 
SUBBD Presale, Staking Rewards And Upside Potential The SUBBD presale is still 
live, with more than $1.36M already committed and the current token price at 
$0.057025. The sale uses incremental price steps, with a final presale rate 
above current levels, so early buyers effectively lock in a small discount 
before any exchange listings. Learn how to buy $SUBBD now to get in early. On 
top of that, the team is offering a fixed 20% staking reward during the 
presale phase. The goal here is not only to give holders passive income in 
$SUBBD, but also to reduce immediate sell pressure by rewarding those who lock 
their tokens rather than flipping them at the first listing. 💰Our $SUBBD price 
prediction maps a potential high of around $0.668 by the end of 2026. From the 
current presale level of $0.057025, that implies roughly a 12x upside. 
Compared with BitMine’s strategy of squeezing mid-single digit staking yields 
from a massive Ethereum position, smaller investors are clearly hunting for 
higher-gear exposure. A focused application token like $SUBBD links directly 
to a specific use case in the AI creator economy, while still inheriting the 
macro thesis that Ethereum remains the settlement layer of choice. Join the 
SUBBD Token presale before the next price hike. Disclaimer: This article is

BitMine Adds $60M In Ethereum as Market Recovers while $SUBBD Presale Heats Up

Bitcoin analyst James Check argues Bitcoin’s quantum risk is chiefly a 
consensus dilemma — not a tech one — because the network is unlikely to freeze 
legacy coins.

Quantum computers won’t break Bitcoin’s code, they’ll break its politics

Bitcoin’s six-week collapse has erased over $40,000 from its price, 
yet—according to Jeff Park, CIO at ProCap BTC and Bitwise advisor—the more 
important story may lie not in spot markets but in volatility. In his November 
22 Substack post “Where Does Bitcoin Go From Here?”, Park argues that “market 
structure has flipped sharply negative,” citing ETF outflows, the Coinbase 
discount, structural selling, and liquidations of over-levered longs. But 
beneath that surface stress, he says, “something in the structure of Bitcoin’s 
volatility markets is stirring again—something that looks more like the old 
Bitcoin, not the new one.” Sudden Twist In Bitcoin Skew Has Expert On High 
Alert For nearly two years, the consensus has been that the ETF era “tamed 
Bitcoin” and “crushed volatility.” Spot ETFs channeled institutional flows 
into volatility-muting structures, dampening the wild swings that once defined 
BTC. Yet Park notes that over the last 60 days, implied volatility (IV) has 
trended higher for the first time in 2025. Even more telling: IV kept rising 
while spot fell—an uncommon dynamic since ETFs launched. That, he says, “might 
be the first signal of a regime shift” back toward pre-ETF market behavior.

Analyst Historical context sharpens his point. Between 2021 and 2022, IV 
spiked repeatedly—156% during China’s mining ban, 114% in the Luna/UST 
collapse, and again in the 3AC and FTX crises. Since FTX, volatility “has 
never traded above 80%,” and vol-of-vol (the “velocity” of volatility itself) 
has remained below 100, a post-ETF pattern of subdued convexity. But the 
latest upward drift, Park argues, suggests that the “convex, breakaway vol 
behavior” that once defined Bitcoin could be re-emerging. That shift carries 
structural implications. During past crises, put skew widened sharply, 
reaching –25%. But Park highlights an opposite kind of stress test—January 
2021—when call skew surged above +50% and triggered Bitcoin’s last “mega-gamma 
squeeze.” Dealers short call gamma were forced to buy spot into a rising 
market, pushing BTC from $20,000 to $40,000 in weeks. It was, he recalls, “the 
first time Deribit saw record retail flows as traders discovered the power of 
OTM calls.” Today’s skew data looks different but potentially telling. “The 
30-day put skew is the lowest it has been all year,” Park writes, suggesting 
defensive premiums are elevated and “further volatility to the downside is not 
unwarranted.” Yet Deribit’s open interest shows a market still leaning bullish 
in notional terms. Related Reading: Only An Asteroid Can Sink MSTR’s Bitcoin 
Bet, CryptoQuant CEO Says As of November 22, the largest positions include 
roughly $1 billion in Dec 26 $85k puts, $950 million in $140k calls, and $720 
million in $200k calls—more upside than downside exposure overall. Similarly, 
the largest IBIT options are “more calls than puts, and the range of strikes 
are more OTM than the puts.” Park’s broader thesis is that volatility itself 
may again become Bitcoin’s catalyst. He draws parallels to February–March 
2024, when sustained ETF inflows and a steady vol bid preceded a dramatic 
melt-up. “Wall Street needs high volatility for Bitcoin to be interesting,” he 
writes, noting that institutional desks chase trend P&amp;L into year-end, and 
“volatility is a reflexive machine.” Whether that machine is restarting 
remains uncertain. Park concludes that if spot continues to fall while IV 
climbs, “the case strengthens that a sharp upside reversal could materialize.” 
But if vol stalls or slips as price declines—“classic sticky-delta 
behavior”—then the drawdown may harden into “the early contours of a potential 
bear trend.” In essence, Park’s message is that Bitcoin’s most revealing 
signal isn’t price but structure. After two years of ETF-driven calm, 
volatility is moving again—and in Bitcoin’s history, when vol wakes up, price 
rarely stays still for long. At press time, BTC traded at $85,912. Featured
