In the dynamic and often volatile landscape of digital assets, Bitcoin&#8217;s 
position as the premier store of value in the digital asset space remains 
firmly intact, even as the broader crypto ecosystem evolves. Its unmatched 
network strength, fixed supply, and resilient global infrastructure continue 
to make it the benchmark against all digital assets. Unmatched Network 
Security Keeps Bitcoin In The Lead Bitcoin remains the largest and most secure 
store of value in the crypto ecosystem, with a market capitalization 
surpassing $1.7 trillion and increasingly unmatched institutional adoption. 
However, analyst Ted has noted on X that the BTC base layer was never built 
for decentralized finance (DeFi). Related Reading: Historic Downturn: Bitcoin 
Nears Worst Weekly Performance In Over A Year Most of BTC’s capital sits idle 
and is unable to support the complex financial applications. This is where the 
BTCFi emerges, and it&#8217;s rising because it activates this dormant capital 
without forcing users or liquidity away from BTC&#8217;s security. Ted highlighted 
that Arch Network is a utility layer that enables the development of 
expressive rush in smart contracts directly to BTC for high performance. It 
offers real-time state management, true interoperability, and fast parallel 
execution, while remaining fully aligned with the BTC UTXO model. This ensures 
that all settlements and final state changes remain anchored directly to BTC 
for maximum security. The applications on ArchVM generate Zero-Knowledge (ZK) 
proofs for each batch of transactions, and BTC nodes verify those proofs on- 
chain; a design that enables fast trading, money lending, credit markets, and 
real-world asset (RWA) applications with the L1-level trust. Furthermore, Ted 
describes the Arch Network as aiming to become a core piece of the 
infrastructure pillar for the emerging BTCFi ecosystem. Bitcoin Stabilizes As 
Market Volatility Cools Off The cryptocurrency market is now showing signs of 
stabilization, positioning Bitcoin for a potential resurgence. According to 
CryptosRus, last Friday, BTC appeared to have firmly bottomed just above the 
$82,000 level, a crucial development that analysts are pointing to as a 
potential renewed market strength. While the selling pressure is fading, these 
key developments could trigger a near-term bounce for BTC. Related Reading: 
Bitcoin Price Recovery Loses Strength, Traders Watch $90K as Last Line of 
Defense Swissblock outlines a sharp risk-off signal, suggesting that the worst 
phase of capitulation may be over. The market might still experience a second 
weaker wave of selling pressure, which would mark the exhaustion of any 
remaining sellers, and shift the market towards the bulls. Fed rate cuts are 
surging, as the December cut probability is climbing back to 70%, fueling 
optimism for liquidity support. Furthermore, liquidity injection is possible, 
and market analysts are highlighting that the actions from the Fed could 
expand reserves, which have historically proven to be bullish for the crypto 
market. With selling pressure easing and policy tailwinds building, BTC&#8217;s 
climb may continue signaling a potential recovery. Featured image from

CME Crypto Derivatives Surge Into New Highs With Rising Demand for Regulated Futures

According to Versan Aljarrah, founder of Black Swan Capitalist, fear has crept 
back into the XRP market as the token trades under pressure. Prices slipped 
below the $2 mark and recently hit about $1.83 before a small rebound. 
Volatility has been sharp, and many traders are being pushed into quick exits.

Without Saying A Word Volatility Tests Investors Based on reports, XRP’s slide 
accelerated after a broad market crash in early October tied to tariff 
tensions between the US and China. That turmoil forced billions of dollars of 
liquidations across exchanges. Different platforms briefly showed very 
different lows — Kraken recorded $1.40 while Binance charts on TradingView 
showed a flash low at $0.76. Fear is back, and it always hits those who don’t 
understand what it means to hold XRP. Most won’t survive the engineered 
volatility ahead. The system shakes out the weak long before real valuation 
even begins. — Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) November 23, 2025 Those 
swings left behind gaps in liquidity, including a zone around $1.98 to $1.99 
that traders are watching closely. Price action has been messy but not one- 
directional. XRP was trading around $2.22, up about 1.8% in the last 24 hours, 
and in another snapshot it was reported changing hands close to $2.24 amid a 
rebound. Over the most recent 72 hours, the token posted a rally of more than 
18%, showing how fast sentiment can flip. According to Aljarrah, fear has 
returned, and &#8220;it always hits those who don’t understand what it means to hold 
XRP.&#8221; The analyst pointed out that a good number of people will fall before 
they could even make it and &#8220;survive the engineered volatility ahead.&#8221; The 
system, he said, &#8220;shakes out the weak&#8221; long before actual market valuation 
takes its course. History And Psychology At Work Analysts and market observers 
point to XRP’s stop-and-go history as part of the problem. In 2017, the coin 
lingered for months before surging roughly 70,000% and then dropping by as 
much as 95% at certain stretches. In 2024, it traded quietly for much of the 
year before jumping over 600% near year end. That pattern makes holding the 
token psychologically hard for many. People sell too soon, often right before 
big moves. Support levels are being watched closely. Reports list key buffers 
at $1.95, $1.75, and $1.60. On the upside, some analysts are projecting a 
rebound to $4 by 2026, with longer-range targets of $13 and $27. Those are 
forecasts, not promises, and they assume steady market conditions and 
continued interest. While $XRP jumped 17% in the last 72 hours, whales used 
the move to lock in profits, selling more than 180 million tokens.

Profit Amid Rally And ETF Flows Meanwhile, analyst Ali Martinez said larger 
holders have been taking profits during the rebound. Whales holding between 1 
million and 10 million XRP reportedly sold over 180 million tokens, trimming 
their balances to about 4.74 billion XRP. That kind of selling can add 
pressure even while the price is trying to recover. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s

Institutional flows appear to be a counterweight. Based on reports, the 
Franklin Templeton and Grayscale XRP ETFs launched in the US yesterday and 
drew combined positive flows of $130 million on their first day. Net inflows 
into US XRP ETFs on Monday were placed at $164 million, a figure that helped 
absorb some of the selling and supported a more than 7% gain over 24 hours in 
some trading windows. Featured image from Pexels, chart from TradingView
