Hold onto your wallets because Zcash is one of the few shiny spots in this crypto disaster zone. With charts that actually look… stable (what a concept!), ZEC has a juicy -0.87 correlation with Bitcoin. Translation? ZEC tends to go up when Bitcoin goes down. Take that, Bitcoin.
Bitcoin, that old grifter with a grin, accounted for half the carnage, leaving longs-those fools who bet on sunshine-scrambling like gophers with their holes collapsing. Shorts? They just stood there, smug as a cat in a sunbeam, pocketing $129.3 million while the rest of us wept into our coffee.
Glassnode, that oracle of on-chain whispers, has scribbled a new psalm on X: the Mayer Multiple, that peculiar ratio of spot price to 200-day moving average, has crawled back to its lowly perch. It’s like watching a man with a pocket watch and a hangover count every second twice.
Coinglass, our modern-day Cassandra, reports that $1B of this carnage occurred in the last hour alone. One imagines traders clutching pearls and muttering “not again” as the charts turned blood-red. Meanwhile, the average BTC ETF investor-bless their optimistic hearts-is currently marinating in losses like a particularly soggy crumpet.
MSCI, that most esteemed of financial soothsayers, has embarked upon a grand quest to determine the fate of firms whose digital assets exceed half their total assets. One might call it a bureaucratic ballet of exclusion! 🕺

According to Coinglass, a whopping $443 million worth of long positions were liquidated in just 24 hours, compared to a paltry $26 million in short positions. Those long holders were probably cursing their luck as they watched their money vanish into thin air. 💸
Bitwise Asset Management, with a flourish of their quill, has launched the Bitwise XRP ETF upon the grand stage of the New York Stock Exchange. The fund, I assure you, is now available for trading, having navigated the labyrinthine NYSE certification and SEC procedures with admirable aplomb. It is a spot exchange-traded fund, designed to offer investors direct exposure to XRP, the third-most esteemed cryptocurrency. 🌟
From the fourteenth to the sixteenth of November, the Carlos Lopes Pavilion played host to this assembly of those who seek to make a living – or, at least, a passable imitation thereof – by discoursing on the marvels of digital currency. Executives, creators, and others of varying degrees of involvement populated the halls, all ostensibly engaged in pondering the shifting sands of influence and monetization. Such earnestness! 🙄
The college announced it will use the cryptocurrency royalties to bolster students from less-represented backgrounds and whisk them off towards the promising careers in business-a philanthropic gesture that now means the electrical grid at college will soon have to carry the load of cryptocurrency mining rigs and not just the coffee makers. It’s noteworthy; this is the first ever crypto donation Trinity has received, seemingly amplifying the college’s role as a crypto old hand.
Coinbase has unveiled a delightful spectacle of financial alchemy: Ethereum (ETH)-backed loans. This new gift allows U.S. patrons, sparing New Yorkers, to borrow USDC, preserving their ETH in its untouched glory.
