Internet Computer (ICP) crashes to $3.50 as AI hype fades and market pressure mounts

  • Internet Computer (ICP) price has dropped 6% in the past 24 hours to under $3.50.
  • Recently, the altcoin pumped from lows of $2.80 to above $9.62.
  • Overall market weakness could see ICP price tank further, although an uptick for Bitcoin will boost altcoins.
The Internet Computer (ICP) token has endured a sharp downturn in the past month, culminating in a 24-hour dip of over 6% as the price broke below $3.50.

Losses for Internet Computer come amid a 29% decrease in trading volume, suggesting bulls could benefit from reduced selling pressure.

However, with ICP briefly rallying on hype around AI integrations like the Caffeine platform, only to reverse course, it may yet allow bears to strengthen the upper hand.

Internet Computer price slips to $3.50

The ICP project, launched by the DFINITY Foundation, is one of the top artificial intelligence-related coins.

DFINITY aims to revolutionize the internet by enabling fully on-chain applications, from decentralized finance to AI-driven services, without reliance on traditional cloud providers.

In early November, the DFINITY Foundation unveiled an update for its AI platform Caffeine DeAI.

The news saw the price of ICP surge sharply, with bulls eventually hitting highs of $9.62 on Nov. 8, 2025.

The uptick aligned with market cheer for an update that pushed the narrative of the Internet Computer as a key AI cloud engine.

As well as allowing users to create and deploy apps easily, Caffeine features an App Market and supports monetization.

DFINITY said Caffeine will help drive network usage and transition ICP to a deflationary asset, among other features.

However, the token’s price has tumbled since that November peak and hit $3.50 on December 5, 2025. That’s a 64% dump in the past month and reflects broader market pressure.

What could catalyze short-term losses for ICP?

Market analysts have attributed the sell-off pressure across crypto to a confluence of factors.

As well as macroeconomic headwinds, FUD around Tether and Strategy (MSTR) has dampened risk appetite for Bitcoin (BTC) and the speculative assets across altcoins.

These same aspects apply to ICP and the dip to $3.50, with intraday revisits of lower levels, strengthening the fragile outlook.

Adding to this is the overall sentiment around token dumps if BTC price tanks.

Recently, when Bitcoin dipped to near $80,000, the Internet Computer token plummeted from above $5 to below $4.2.

Price currently hovers around $3.51 as Bitcoin flirts with support near $90,500. If momentum escapes bulls further, sellers could eye the all-time lows of $1.98 reached in October 2025.

On the flipside, the altcoin could benefit from network upgrades and adoption trends.

This, amid a resurgence in AI tokens and tokenized Bitcoin demand, may help buyers. A shift in sentiment as the macro environment improves will be crucial to bulls.

Chainlink partners with Coinbase on Base–Solana bridge as LINK targets new breakout levels

  • Chainlink price hovered near $14, down 2% in the past 24 hours.
  • LINK remained under pressure despite two key integrations on Solana.
  • Coinbase and Chainlink have launched a Base-Solana bridge.

Chainlink continues to play a key role in the blockchain interoperability and asset tokenisation space, and that shows in the two latest integrations.

As a pivotal oracle network bridging decentralised finance (DeFi) with traditional systems, Chainlink’s traction is forecast to be a major factor for the native token LINK.

On December 5, 2025, LINK traded around $14.

Bulls were under pressure but remained upbeat amid recent advancements. Among these is the collaboration with Coinbase on the Base-Solana bridge and the integration into a Solana-based RWA consortium.

Chainlink and Coinbase to power Base-Solana bridge

Three major industry players here: Coinbase, Chainlink and Solana. Industry reaction to their latest collaboration highlights the potential impact.

Simply, the launch of the Base-Solana bridge marks a significant milestone in multi-chain connectivity. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) serves as the security backbone alongside Coinbase’s node operators.

As announced, this mainnet deployment enables seamless asset transfers between Base and Solana.

CCIP will help verify all messages, ensuring tamper-proof and reliable token movements on Solana. In this case, users can now deposit SOL into Base applications, import any Solana Program Library (SPL) token, and export Base assets back to Solana.

“The bridge is now live on mainnet and rolling out for anyone to use in apps including Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay,’ Base said in a blog post. “Users will be able to trade SOL, CHILLHOUSE, TRENCHER, and many more Solana assets on Base.”

The Base-Solana bridge is live

Secured by @Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase, the bridge unlocks new cross-chain experiences:

• Support Solana assets natively in Base apps
• Enable users to trade & use assets across chains
• Bridge assets and tap into both ecosystems

Chainlink joins RWA initiative on Solana

Another major development is news that Chainlink has joined the newly formed RWA Consortium on Solana. The initiative, led by Figure Technology Solutions in partnership with Kamino Finance, CASH, Raydium, Privy, and Gauntlet, was announced on December 4, 2025.

Experts say real-world assets onchain value will grow exponentially in the next five years.

Early adoption has virtually every RWA now onchain and Solana plays a key role in this space. Chainlink too.

The new alliance aims to democratize access to over $1 billion in monthly onchain loan originations. First to deploy is PRIME,  a liquid staking token on the Hastra liquidity protocol.

“We’re democratizing access to institutional lending markets,” said Mike Cagney, founder and executive chairman of Figure. “For the first time, a DeFi user with $100 can participate in the same loan pools as major financial institutions, earning yields from real lending activity with full transparency and instant liquidity.”

LINK price forecast

Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure is central to this goal. Its technology will connect Solana’s developer-friendly environment with Figure’s $19 billion in tokenized loan originations.

These initiatives could further catalyse price appreciation for both LINK and SOL.

At the time of writing, LINK changed hands at $14 while Solana price hovered at $136. If prices rise further, the main short-term target will be highs above $26, last seen in August. SOL bulls will eye $200.

Other bullish catalysts will include crypto ETFs, regulatory clarity and a flip in global macroeconomic outlook.

Aster (ASTER) price rebounds as 2026 roadmap unveiled: will bulls target $1.50 next?

  • Aster price could rally above $1 as the team unveils its 2026 roadmap.
  • The token hit highs of $2.42 as the decentralized exchange platform outpaced its peers.
  • Aster eyes a testnet, real-world asset upgrade, and native token staking.

Decentralized exchange platform Aster sees its price change hands at $1.04, having bounced off lows of $0.88.

While the DEX token is down 2% in the past 24 hours, buyers might target fresh upside action after the Aster team unveiled its highly anticipated roadmap for the first half of 2026.

The roadmap’s ambitious plans, with a focus on infrastructure, token utility, and community engagement, have the market excited about the token’s price potential.

Significantly, these new network goals come after a year of notable achievements for Aster.

Aster releases outline for 2026 roadmap

Aster has a robust ecosystem and community, despite being a relatively new project across the market.

Partnerships and key buyback initiatives have helped ASTER price, and on December 4, the team announced its upcoming roadmap.

The perpetuals and spot trading platform’s plan highlights a series of milestones starting in late 2025.

It includes the introduction of Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading and TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) strategy orders in early December.

Mid-December will see an upgrade to real-world asset (RWA) trading with deeper stock perpetual markets, followed by the launch of the Aster Chain testnet by the end of the month.

In 2026, the Aster Chain Layer 1 (L1) mainnet rolls out. This Q1 launch will be accompanied by fiat on/off-ramp capabilities and the Aster Code platform for developers.

According to the project, Q2 will introduce ASTER staking, on-chain governance, and smart-money tools to replicate top traders’ strategies.

“2025 was about proving Aster can ship: we merged Astherus & ApolloX, launched multi-asset margin, released our mobile app, completed TGE, listed on major CEXs, and introduced features like Hedge Mode, Trade & Earn, and our buyback program, and more,” the team wrote. “Now we’re doubling down on three foundational engines—Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community—each reinforcing the others in a continuous cycle.”

Aster sees this multifaceted approach as part of the commitment to build a scalable network that evolves with its users.

What’s the potential impact on Aster price?

ASTER exploded to an all-time high of $2.42 in September 2025, and the current price is off this peak by about 56%. Despite sell-off risk to under $1, bulls are up more than 1,140% since touching lows of $0.084 on Sept. 17, 2025.

Notably, the unveiling of Aster’s 2026 roadmap for Q1 and Q2 has ignited speculation about the potential impact on the token’s price.

From a technical analysis point of view, the DEX token looks to be poised for an upward move.

The daily chart shows a breakout from a key downtrend line.

Aster Price Chart
Aster price chart by TradingView

Both RSI and MACD indicators on the daily chart indicate a bearish outlook.

However, with the price above the downtrend line, fresh momentum could allow bulls to target $1.38. A potential surge toward $1.50 and $2.06 will open up a run to a new all-time high.

Should bullish momentum dissipate, flipped sentiment could allow for a revisit of the lows of $0.81.

TAO surges past $300 ahead of first halving, fueling bullish outlook for Bittensor

  • Bittensor price jumped to above $300 as bulls showed signs of recovery.
  • TAO was bullish ahead of the AI token’s first network halving.
  • Gains for Bittensor come as Wall Street also flips bullish on the AI narrative.

Bittensor (TAO) traded green on the day on December 4, 2025, with sentiment bullish as the altcoin breached the $300 threshold.

This surge, occurring just days before the network’s historic halving event, could allow bulls to target recent highs.

Growing confidence in Bittensor’s role as a pioneering platform in decentralized AI and in machine learning incentives has TAO as one of the altcoins traders are watching.

Bittensor price jumps above $300

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a notable uptick in the past 24 hours.

While bears continue to maraud amid potential profit-taking spikes, bulls are showing strength.

A flurry of activity surrounding Bittensor, a blockchain protocol that decentralizes AI model training and inference through a competitive subnet ecosystem, points to TAO price’s likely short term rally.

Bittensor Chart
Bittensor price chart by TradingView

In this case, TAO’s surge above $300 represents a pivotal moment. The altcoin surged to above $314 on Dec. 4 before paring some of the gains.

Significantly, Bittensor price dramatically jumped from around $300 on October 11, 2025, to hit $500 on November 2.

The rally in a little over three weeks nonetheless fizzled, and the TAO price is down about 28% in the past month.

The token’s correction came amid broader market jitters.

Bittensor and AI sector forecasts

Bittensor is a top AI-related coin by market cap, ahead of NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and RENDER.

Growth has included the project’s positioning as the marketplace for machine intelligence.

It’s where validators and miners earn TAO rewards for contributing computational resources and novel AI models. Prices have often spiked amid key AI developments, and that reflects amid latest outlook.

Wall Street giants point out that the AI boom that catapulted Nvidia and other stocks higher is not a bubble.

Noting that the sector could yet explode, BlackRock and Bank of America analysts have forecast a fresh supercycle. Key drivers of this include real corporate investments, major earnings, and productivity gains.

AI is not driven by the irrational exuberance that underpinned the dot-com bubble in the 2000s, the analysts noted.

The TAO price could rally amid the anticipated AI narrative resurgence.

What’s Bittensor’s upcoming halvening?

Bittensor’s inaugural halving, which is about 10 days away as of writing, is about network tokenomics. It mirrors Bitcoin’s supply-reduction strategy, but tailored to AI incentives.

Currently, the network emits approximately 7,200 TAO tokens daily to reward participants in its proof-of-intelligence consensus.

However, the halving will cut the emissions to 3,600 TAO. Bittensor has a total supply of 21 million TAO, and the halving, like in BTC’s case, ensures long-term scarcity as adoption grows.

The halving could thus catalyze price discovery. BTC jumped following its 2024 halving, and TAO bulls are likely to eye a return to $500.

Notably, the coin’s all-time high of $795.6 was reached in April 2024.

Avalanche price jumps above $14 on rising onchain adoption; analysts see path to $9 or $35

  • Avalanche price jumped back above $14 as cryptocurrencies rose on Thursday.
  • Institutions accelerating onchain adoption and network momentum from November is key for bulls.
  • AVAX token’s value could surge to $35, but could also slip to $9 in the short term.

Avalanche (AVAX) price has rebounded to above $14, with the altcoin seeing gains amid robust on-chain metrics.

The latest report recounting key Avalanche milestones in November 2025 shows growing ecosystem adoption. Visible metrics include the number of transactions and the value of real-world assets onchain.

Gains for AVAX mirror broader altcoin market optimism that could gain momentum amid Ethereum’s breakout to above $3,200.

Investors and traders are also showing conviction despite overall market jitters.

Avalanche price gains

On December 4, 2025, the price of AVAX traded to a high of $14.95.

This 6% uptick sees AVAX up from a monthly low near $12.50, with 30-day losses currently down to 12%. Bulls have cut declines to just 1.5% in the past week.

November had seen Avalanche fall alongside top coins, driven by profit-taking after earlier highs.

Over the past week, the token has advanced to near the $15 mark, and intraday movements on December 4 highlight this momentum.

Meanwhile, trading volume has exceeded 554 million AVAX, suggesting improved liquidity and trader interest.

Technical upgrades and institutional inflows are two of AVAX’s top price catalysts.

Sustained network activity

Despite price declines over the past months, Avalanche’s network has demonstrated remarkable endurance. Details indicate that November marked a pinnacle of user engagement for the project.

AVAX treasury strategy moves also shone.

The C-Chain recorded 10.1 million monthly active addresses, which is its strongest performance of 2025. MAUs for the month surpassed October’s 9.2 million, and fueled a 22% year-over-year growth.

November was @avax C-Chain best month of the year for monthly active addresses with 10.1M pic.twitter.com/bKAly2pJl0

— Token Relations 📊 (@TokenRelations) December 1, 2025

Key November achievements include Dexalot’s 400 million transactions on its Avalanche L1, MapleStory Universe’s 100 million transactions, and Kite AI’s 436 million transactions alongside 715 million agent calls.

Real-world assets (RWAs) tokenized on Avalanche ballooned to $1.2 billion, a 66% monthly jump. Meanwhile, Pharaoh Exchange generated $283,000 in fees from $200 million in daily volume.

Recent data shows daily transactions hitting a cycle high of 2.57 million on November 30, supported by 470,000 active addresses.

Institutional moves, like FIS Global’s $9 trillion loan platform launch, further cement this activity.

“As regulatory clarity improves and institutions accelerate onchain, Avalanche’s architecture, scalability, and ecosystem position it where innovation meets utility. The momentum from November sets the stage for continued growth. The infrastructure is ready, institutions are coming, and Avalanche is powering what’s next,” the Avalanche Team noted in the blog post.

Avalanche price outlook

Overall, AVAX’s price trajectory remains largely bullish long-term. However, analysts say bears may not be done yet, and a pullback is likely.

Per analyst Ali Martinez, the charts paint a broadening wedge pattern for Avalanche. While prices could spike to the key resistance line, a breakdown towards the support trendline could bring $9 into play.

“A right-angled ascending broadening wedge breakout puts Avalanche $AVAX on track for $9,” the analyst wrote.

On the other hand, a technical breakout could allow bulls to target $20. As momentum builds from current support, further gains could bring $35 into the bulls’ view.

Cardano touches $0.43 again, but can ADA breakout this time?

  • Cardano price consolidates in the $0.43 region after double-digit gains in 24 hours.
  • ADA is near the middle point of a key downtrend channel.
  • With potential tailwinds in the offing, can ADA price see another leg up?

Cardano (ADA) remains the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, with bulls keeping the token anchored above $0.40.

The latest rebound toward $0.43 after briefly slipping below that mark last week has revived optimism, reinforcing expectations of a potential push higher.

A decisive move above $0.50 will likely depend on broader market sentiment, continued strength in Bitcoin and renewed inflows into altcoins.

On the flip side, any deterioration in risk appetite or renewed selling pressure across majors could stall ADA’s momentum in the near term.

With the altcoin posting double-digit gains in the past 24 hours, traders are watching its intraday structure closely to gauge whether the current bounce can extend into a more convincing breakout.

Cardano price jumps above $0.43

In the early hours of December 3, 2025, ADA surged by more than 10%.

Most of these came within a 12-hour window that also saw Solana, Sui and Ethena rank as top gainers.

ADA climbed from an intraday low near $0.398 to a high of $0.446 on major exchanges.

Trading volume spiked by more than 67% compared to the previous 24-hour period, reaching over $1 billion.

Accompanied by price gains, this signalled renewed investor interest.

The recovery aligns with broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Fresh inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional adoption narratives have added to macro expectations to buoy altcoins.

Increased bullish momentum could push the token’s value higher.

ADA price key hurdles: technical outlook

Despite the encouraging rebound, several technical obstacles remain before a sustainable bullish breakout can be confirmed.

On the daily timeframe, ADA continues to trade within a multi-month descending channel that began after the local top near $0.89 in October 2025.

The upper boundary of this channel currently sits around $0.465–$0.48.

Cardano price hovers below the middle point, and declines have coincided with the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) , which is dipping.

This widely watched gauge of short-term trend currently has its resistance focused around $0.53.

Cardano Price Chart
Cardano price chart by TradingView

A decisive daily close above $0.48 would be required to invalidate the prevailing bearish structure.

If this happens, ADA will target the 50-EMA, with immediate resistance at $0.59 and the $0.68 zone.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has climbed up from oversold territory.

However, it remains below the neutral threshold, leaving room for uncertainty.

Yet, decisive action may benefit from the bullish momentum of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator.

Bulls will mainly target that spot where the 50-day EMA and the upper trendline of the aforementioned channel show potential convergence.

On the flipside, a failure to hold $0.40 on a closing basis would expose ADA to a retest of $0.30.

SUI rockets 30% on Coinbase regulatory breakthrough: will the Layer-1 hit new 2025 highs?

  • Sui pumped nearly 30% as bulls extended gains seen on December 2, 2025.
  • Coinbase announced that New York residents can now access Sui on the exchange.
  • SUI price hit intraday highs of $1.79 as the broader crypto market posted a rebound.

Sui (SUI) surged nearly 30% as cryptocurrencies showed renewed optimism on Wednesday, with a regulatory breakthrough that allows New York residents to buy Sui on Coinbase, bolstering the altcoin.

The sharp rally, which unfolded over the past 24 hours, pushed the layer-1 blockchain’s native token to an intraday high of $1.79, a level not seen since mid-November.

Earlier in the session, SUI had mirrored the broader cryptocurrency market’s weakness, dipping to lows of $1.38 amid profit-taking and macro uncertainty.

However, a swift reversal, fueled by renewed buying pressure and positive exchange-related developments, quickly erased those losses and turned sentiment bullish.

Sui price outpaces top altcoins- why did SUI explode 30%?

Sui’s near-30% intraday advance significantly outperformed most large-cap altcoins, many of which posted single-digit gains during the same period.

Bitcoin rose roughly 7% to highs of $93,000 before paring some of the gains, while Ethereum climbed 9% but remained tethered near $3,000. Elsewhere, Solana managed around 10% to above $140.

SUI’s pump signaled relative strength, with the latest leg higher extending momentum that began on December 2.

Notably, these gains come after Coinbase announced that New York residents can now purchase and hold Sui directly on the exchange and its mobile applications.

New York residents can now access Sui on @coinbase. https://t.co/nLK5HQWXGf

— Sui (@SuiNetwork) December 1, 2025

Trading volume across major centralized exchanges spiked in tandem with the price surge. Per CoinMarketCap, the token’s 24-hour volumes exceeded $1.85 billion, up about 202% on the day.

What’s the Sui price outlook

Notably, multiple catalysts could align to allow bulls to test key levels. That’s because analysts see several tailwinds that could propel SUI higher in the coming weeks and months.

At the macro level, the Fed’s rate decision and leadership a leading short-term catalysts.

Growing expectations of a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment in the US and spot ETFs, as well as treasury asset moves, also add to the upbeat mood.

On the fundamental front, Sui’s ecosystem continues to expand rapidly across high-growth verticals.

Gaming remains a standout sector, with major titles and studios migrating to Sui for its object-centric data model and sub-second finality. Total value locked in decentralized finance protocols on Sui has also climbed above $1.9 billion.

Also in the mix are real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiatives, which have brought key institutional partnerships for tokenized treasuries and private credit to the blockchain network.

Traction in these segments provides Sui with diversified narrative drivers beyond pure speculation.

Sui Price Chart
Sui price chart by TradingView

A look at technical indicators supports the bullish thesis.

If bulls hold above $1.60 and risk appetite remains intact, a move to $2.20 will be next. The all-time high of $5.35 reached in January 2025 is a near-term target.

CRO spikes 10% on Adlard’s appointment at Cronos Labs as Bitcoin breaks $90K

  • Cronos token CRO traded higher on Tuesday as cryptocurrencies bid for an uptick.
  • The altcoin’s price was up more than 10% in 24 hours to $0.11.
  • Gains for the altcoin came amid a huge move by Cronos Labs, the accelerator arm of Crypto.com.

On Tuesday, the Cronos Labs team revealed the appointment of industry veteran Edward Adlard as Head of Ecosystem.

Timed amid growing adoption of the project’s offering, it is a move that sparked further positive market response.

CRO token gained by over 10% to above $0.11, a rebound from intraday lows of $0.098. Altcoins were up as Bitcoin price broke to $90,000.

Cronos Labs appoints new ecosystem head

Edward Adlard is the new Head of Ecosystem at Cronos Labs, the Crypto.com tied platform announced on December 2, 2025. The appointment positions him at the forefront of the network’s expansion strategy.

According to details, Adlard brings proven leadership in scaling ecosystems while prioritizing regulatory compliance. His stature as a veteran of the bridging of web2 and web3 adds to the expertise and expectations.

“Cronos has an active community, a strong technical foundation, and proven high-performance infrastructure,” Adlard stated in the official announcement.

He added:

“The next chapter is about accelerating ecosystem growth by deploying cutting-edge new use cases that drive an increase in users, liquidity, and builders. I believe Cronos is uniquely positioned to benefit from the maturing of global crypto regulations due to its institutional-ready stack, compliance-ready primitives, and opportunity to more deeply partner with Crypto.com.”

Notably, Adlard has recently served as CEO of Instalabs, a regulated institutional cross-chain bridge that facilitated seamless asset transfers across blockchains.

Before that, he was Vice President of Growth, Business Development, and Strategy at the Tezos Foundation.

At Tezos, Adlard helped shape ecosystem initiatives, chaired the investment committee, and directed funding toward infrastructure builders.

His web2 tenure at Amazon included spearheading the turnaround of the Amazon Money Store in the UK and overseeing Prime Video operations across Europe, honing skills in operational efficiency and multi-market expansion.

In his new role, Adlard will oversee ecosystem strategy, growth programs, partner integrations, and developer initiatives.

His mandate centers on accelerating institutional tokenization and fostering AI-driven innovations to enhance Cronos’s high-performance infrastructure.

CRO price jumps 10%

Amid the news, Cronos token’s price jumped. CRO is the utility asset powering transactions and staking on the Cronos network and has experienced sharp gains in recent months following ecosystem developments.

On Tuesday, CRO climbed from an overnight low of $0.098, touching highs of $0.11.

This marked a 10% uptick in 24 hours and came as trading volume spiked by over 38% to over $27 million.

While ecosystem news has helped bulls, Cronos’ price is also ticking up amid a 5% spike in Bitcoin’s price.

The benchmark digital asset recovered sharply on December 2, 2025, and traded above $90,000 as risk assets pumped.

JUST IN: Bitcoin is back over $90,000 pic.twitter.com/Adi4vQHuJe

— Lark Davis (@TheCryptoLark) December 2, 2025

BTC’s uptick and Cronos ecosystem’s growth, bolstered by Adlard’s expertise in regulated infrastructure, could bolster the short-term forecasts for CRO.

If bulls maintain control above $0.10, the potential for further gains means buyers eyeing $0.14 and then $0.20 next.

Toncoin eyes $2 as community cheers Cocoon launch on TON

  • A bounce for altcoins sees Toncoin price recover above $1.50.
  • The integration of Cocoon has boosted bulls and could allow for a retest of $2.00.
  • TON is the cryptocurrency token of the Telegram ecosystem.

Toncoin (TON) has reclaimed the $1.50 level as a broader market rebound lifts sentiment across major cryptocurrencies.

TON was trading near $1.51 on Tuesday, up about 1.5%, after Cocoon — a decentralized confidential compute network — went live on The Open Network.

The launch is viewed as a significant step for the TON ecosystem and aligns with Telegram’s push toward a private, decentralized AI framework.

The development has provided a fresh catalyst for bullish momentum, with the community looking to build on the optimism and potentially drive TON higher in the sessions ahead.

Toncoin price: bulls eye momentum above $1.50

Toncoin slipped sharply after months of consolidating below $3.50 and $4.00, with sellers driving the token to a low of $1.45 on Monday, December 1, 2025.

The move mirrored the broader market’s November slowdown and the weaker start to the new month.

A modest recovery has followed. TON has edged back above $1.50, even as 24-hour trading volumes across major exchanges have fallen by about 10%.

The rebound is limited, but it gives buyers a narrow window to attempt a stronger move.

A continued bounce could open the way for a push toward $1.60, which may allow Toncoin to retest and potentially flip the earlier resistance zone around $2.36 into support.

TON integrates Cocoon for AI compute

Although Toncoin’s price remains vulnerable below $2.00, both traders and long-term holders are celebrating the arrival of Cocoon.

It is about real utility that ties GPU supply directly to TON token economics.

Per latest details, Cocoon has officially begun processing live user requests.

With the launch, the platform becomes the first decentralized artificial intelligence project on TON to offer fully confidential AI inference at scale.

Notably, the network enables GPU owners worldwide to rent out their hardware for privacy-preserving AI workloads, earning TON tokens as direct compensation.

Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and zero-knowledge proofs, Cocoon ensures that sensitive data never leaves the secure enclave.

In short, it eliminates the privacy risks and high costs associated with centralized providers like AWS or Google Cloud.

Telegram itself is Cocoon’s anchor client and first major user, routing select AI features through the decentralized network to guarantee end-to-end confidentiality for its nearly one billion users.

BNB price eyes $1,000 as bulls rally on VanEck ETF filing and market rebound

  • BNB traded above $880 as cryptocurrencies looked to bounce higher.
  • The gains could see bulls target the $1,000 mark and beyond, helped by overall market sentiment.
  • Technical indicators, however, paint a mixed picture.

BNB price is showing early signs of recovery amid a turbulent market week for altcoins, with the price having slipped off intraday highs of $903.

While prices hovered about 1.4% down in the past 24 hours, changing hands around $882, means bulls could eye a return to the key $900 mark and target $1,000.

Market optimism, institutional interest, and technical indicators could align for this to happen within the coming days or weeks.

Notably, the cryptocurrency’s resilience above $800 comes as Bitcoin stabilizes above $91,000 following a rebound from lows near $80,000.

While the market is mixed, bulls are showing resilience.

BNB price outlook

Although prices have dipped more than 35% from recent all-time highs, market experts remain bullish on BNB’s trajectory.

Even as short-term volatility persists, technical analyses suggest the token could reach an average price of $1,000 in the coming months.

Momentum could push the BNB price beyond the psychological level of $1,200 and then the ATH above $1,370.

Short-term, technical indicators support a mixed picture. BNB’s 50-day moving average is sloping and acting as a key hurdle around $1,050, while the relative strength index (RSI) at 40 signals neutral territory but with a potential dip before oversold recovery.

However, price saw a breakout above the resistance line of a falling wedge, and the MACD hints at a bullish crossover.

If BNB clears the $900 resistance, we could see a swift move to $1,000, potentially aligning with broader market stabilization.

As well as broader sentiment, BNB’s utility in the Binance ecosystem positions it for outperformance in a risk-on environment.

BNB price chart by TradingView

What’s bullish for BNB price?

Several key factors are converging to ignite BNB’s next leg higher, with the spotlight firmly on institutional inflows and whale dynamics.

At the forefront is the freshly filed VanEck BNB ETF, submitted to the SEC on November 21 for listing on Nasdaq.

The spot ETF would hold BNB directly, tracking the BNB Index without initial staking, although future yields via third-party providers could be added with notice.

If approved, VBNB could mirror the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, unlocking billions in traditional capital and enhancing BNB’s legitimacy.

Many see this as a game-changer for altcoin exposure, and social hype has surged.

Broader market stabilization is another tailwind.

Bitcoin’s rebound, following recent dovish remarks from New York Fed President John Williams, helped bulls. This eased last week’s panic selling, where BTC plunged below $80,000.

Losses for BTC dragged altcoins down.

Exchange-traded product flows have also flipped positive after consecutive net outflows. Despite subdued large-whale demand overall, inflows at support levels around $800 suggest discounted buying ahead of a rally.

Crypto market mixed as Bitcoin tests $93K, Ethereum and XRP hit major resistance

  • Bitcoin price rose to near $93,000 on Friday before sell-off pressure resumed.
  • Ethereum and XRP also climbed but faced key hurdles around $3,000 and $2.25.
  • Sentiment remains downbeat across the crypto market despite notable gains for a few top altcoins.

The cryptocurrency market continued to witness a mixed outing on Friday, with Bitcoin retesting the $92,500 mark while Ethereum and XRP both broke to key resistance areas.

While gains indicated renewed investor optimism amid broader economic uncertainties, the swift retreat to below $91k for BTC highlights the fragile market sentiment.

Also, while Sky, Monero and Bitcoin Cash gained, Zcash, Dash and Aptos led the top losers in the leading 100 coins by market cap.

Bitcoin breaks to highs near $93k

Bitcoin’s price marked a decisive breach of the $92,500 resistance level by rising to near $93,000.

On Friday, the benchmark asset hit highs of $92,969 across major exchanges. However, the level has proved a robust barrier that means the quest to break higher towards the psychological $100 mark continues to evade bulls.

QCP Group analysts shared the short-term Bitcoin price outlook via an X post. They see mid-$90k levels as key supply wall zones, while major support remains in the $82k-$80k area.

“Options markets show caution even as year-end BTC call open interest stays heavy. Skew, IV and sentiment have softened, reinforcing a rangebound profile. Supply likely caps moves toward mid-90Ks, while support sits near 80–82K, leaving macro catalysts firmly in control of direction.”

Despite the dip to below $91k as of writing, BTC’s gains earlier in the day allowed layer-1 and layer-2 solutions on the Bitcoin network to post gains.

As noted, BounceBit and Stacks were among the Bitcoin ecosystem tokens to see an uptick.

But as prices have dipped again, rather than bounce higher, this latest move could be a dead cat bounce.

ETH and XRP face resistance

Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has struggled to sustain momentum. Recently, the top altcoin fell to lows of $2,600 after closing above $4,000 in late October. The breach of the $3,000 level threatened more pain for bulls.

However, after testing the demand reload zone, the ETH price has jumped back to the resistance area above $3,000.

That’s despite a 25% dip over the past month.

While prices are nearly 9% up in the past week, ETH’s inability to break higher reflects broader altcoin fatigue. Bitcoin’s drop to $90,504 at the time of writing suggests a potential downward cascade for ETH.

XRP has fared similarly, trading at $2.18 amid a 1.4% dip in the past 24 hours.

The token faces formidable overhead resistance at $2.25 and at $2.50. Per market data, the latter marks a level at which bulls have struggled since the crash on Oct. 10,2025.

The launch of spot XRP ETFs in recent days has failed to help bulls break higher.

Bitcoin cash holds above $500 as whales accumulate; analysts eye potential rally

  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is well above the $500 threshold amid broader market fluctuations.
  • This resilience signals potential confidence in potential to bounce higher.
  • As the Bitcoin price rises above $92,000, what lies ahead for BCH?

Bitcoin Cash is trading at near $539, just in the green on the daily chart, and counting a modest $562 million in daily volume. The token, a fork of Bitcoin, crucially remains above the pivotal $500 mark.

The BCH token’s price stability comes after a period of consolidation, but can bulls take control of the situation?

In the past 24 hours, altcoins like Monero have soared to lead gainers.

As highlighted, XMR price has jumped in contrast to the downward action for Zcash. Bitcoin ecosystem tokens also surged as BTC price recovered to near $92,000 earlier in the day.

What’s bullish for Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash traded at lows of $258 in April, but a steady climb amid overall bullish market sentiment saw BCH hit highs of $650 in September. While price has traded lower since, bulls managed to break higher off support in mid-October.

Several factors, such as Bitcoin’s rally and BCH adoption across payments, helped bulls.

Further network activities have bolstered Bitcoin Cash, in particular, smart contract capabilities, attracting developers and fostering ecosystem growth.

Institutional interest has also played a role.

Overall, buzz around spot exchange-traded funds approvals in key jurisdictions has funneled fresh capital into altcoins. BCH has thus remained mostly bullish despite macroeconomic uncertainty, including the US Federal Reserve rate cut.

Markets rebounded this week as top central bank officials urged the Fed to cut rates in December.

The price of Bitcoin and altcoins, including Bitcoin Cash, could surge as a result. Notably, cryptocurrencies gained as the US Dollar index risked further weakness on Friday.

BCH price forecast

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 53, suggesting neutral momentum.

The indicator aligns with potential room for upward mobility given a bullish divergence. Importantly, Bitcoin Cash’s perch above $500 reflects its foundational strengths. As such, market synergy could see BCH price eye more gains.

According to crypto analyst CW, whales have been busy around current BCH prices, and this could signal upcoming momentum.

“$BCH whales are preparing something,” the analyst posted on X. “Signals of a recent holdings exchange have been observed repeatedly. Just 3 hours ago, over 140k $BCH were traded in 1 hour.”

The analyst added:

“Whales are exchanging hands in the $525-$550 range. Once this process is complete, a full-scale rally [could] begin.”

TRON price prediction as TRX hits $0.28 resistance

  • TRON price hovers above $0.28, largely unchanged in the past week.
  • Despite the consolidation, TRX looks poised to go higher.
  • Recent network developments, including stablecoin growth and partnerships, buoy bulls.

TRON (TRX) has shown limited upward momentum in recent sessions but continues to hold near the key $0.28 level, even as volatility across the crypto market keeps investors cautious.

TRX is trading around $0.28 after a modest 0.4% dip over the past 24 hours, reflecting broader market weakness and a lack of clear direction.

Sentiment remains fragile following Bitcoin’s slide to $80,000 last week before rebounding toward $92,000, a move that has kept traders on edge.

Still, TRON has managed a mild recovery from recent lows near $0.27, offering a tentative sign of strength despite the uncertain backdrop.

What could aid the TRX price?

The question of whether Tron could ignite a parabolic rally arises from TRON DAO’s growth and expansion across the market.

For instance, TRON has dominated the stablecoin market in terms of total transfers year-to-date. USDT supply on TRON surpassed $80 billion in July.

Leo Chan, a small business owner in Asia, recently highlighted why TRON is seeing huge adoption in stablecoins.

“When I need to make payments at traditional banks, I need to do some paperwork,” Leo said. “I may face delays and lose business. With TRON, recipients can instantly get the payment.”

While it sits above peers in global USDT activity, 2025 also boosts many other notable feats, including daily active users and integrations.

Platforms such as Chainlink and MetaMask have helped elevate TRON’s reach, expanding access beyond stablecoin transfers into decentralized finance, tokenized assets and retail payments.

In terms of adoption, the latest data shows TRON’s total accounts have surpassed 346 million.

This ecosystem growth speaks to rapid growth amid an explosion in decentralized finance.

— TRONSCAN (@TRONSCAN_ORG) November 18, 2025

Recently, TRON’s DeFi arm, TRONBANK, secured $10 million in funding.

The strategic financing will help accelerate lending and staking innovations, likely bolstering total value locked in the protocol.

Tron rice prediction

TRON’s price outlook remains cautiously optimistic despite recent dips.

Notably, upside projections hinge on network adoption and macroeconomic shifts.

If bulls gain, the next targets could be $0.35 and $0.50.

TRON Price Chart
TRON price chart by TradingView

With a market cap exceeding $26 billion, TRX ranks as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

The token has seen over $535 million in intraday trading volume.

Bulls saw the token touch the all-time high of $0.44 in December 2024.

Technical indicators add fuel, such as a double-bottom pattern formed in early November, which signals a potential reversal from bearish depths.

As can be seen on the chart above, TRX has rebounded slightly but remains within a downtrend.

RSI is below 50  but suggesting an uptick, as is the MACD on the daily chart, indicating a potential bullish crossover.

Bitcoin ecosystem tokens gain as BTC surges above $91k

  • The price of Bitcoin gaining to $91,900 has buoyed many ecosystem tokens.
  • BounceBit is among the top gainers in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and Stacks is eyeing fresh momentum.
  • BTC traded around $91,257 as of writing amid macro headwinds.

Several cryptocurrencies within the Bitcoin ecosystem rose as the benchmark digital asset surged past the $91,900 mark.

BTC’s recovery from last week’s rout to $80,000 lifted sentiment across related ecosystem tokens, with BounceBit (BB) and Stacks (STX) among the standout performers.

Further gains for the bellwether cryptocurrency could signal similar moves for BB, STX, and others.

Bitcoin price bounces to $91,700

Bitcoin has demonstrated notable resilience after last week’s dump, with bulls recovering after briefly dipping toward the psychologically significant $80,000 level.

Strong buying pressure at that threshold triggered a sharp reversal, propelling BTC first through $85,000 and subsequently to above $90,000.

During Asian trading hours on Friday, BTC hit intraday highs of $91,977 on Coinbase.

Bitcoin’s uptick marked a 24-hour gain of 1% before bears came in, while the weekly time frame performance showed a 12% move.

The recovery has slightly rekindled broader risk appetite, with altcoins also gaining and the total cryptocurrency market capitalization climbing back to $3.13 trillion.

However, analysts caution that macro headwinds remain, and upside moves could be capped.

CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju shared this insight via X.

Bitcoin on-chain indicators are bearish, and further upside likely depends on macro liquidity. pic.twitter.com/3Np269UKEo

— Ki Young Ju (@ki_young_ju) November 28, 2025

BounceBit jumps 10%, Stacks eyes gains

As seen across the crypto market, the Bitcoin price recovery has translated into a cascade of gains for several projects, including those building directly on or alongside the Bitcoin blockchain.

Top performers in this ecosystem include Sky and Plasma, both recording double-digit gains in the past day.

BounceBit (BB), whose price has gained by more than 10% in the past 24 hours and over 27% in the past week, is another top performer.

The BounceBit project is a Bitcoin restaking and CeDeFi infrastructure protocol, and has its market capitalization above $79 million.

Meanwhile, details on CoinMarketCap show Pendle, Lombard, and Stacks as other key performers.

Stacks, ranked fourth in the sector with a market cap of over $586 million, has jumped 7% in the past week as bulls recoup losses seen when STX slumped to lows of $0.30.

With benefits such as tokenized future yield exposure on Bitcoin derivatives and liquid staking, most of these tokens look poised to tap into the Bitcoin DeFi narrative.

If BTC rises further, these high-beta plays could see notable upticks.

But hurdles lie ahead before the $100,000 mark comes into play.

“Breaking above the top-buyers’ supply clusters is a key prerequisite for regaining momentum toward a new ATH,” analysts at Glassnode said. “The major immediate clusters sit at $93k–$96K & $100k–$108K, where typically some degree of resistance from recent buyers is expected.”

Flare Network’s major upgrade is here: what’s the outlook for FLR price?

  • Flare Network’s price rose amid momentum ahead of a key mainnet upgrade.
  • The upgrade has been activated on Songbird and is scheduled for December 2, 2025, on mainnet.
  • Gains across crypto and the upgrade buzz could boost FLR price.

Flare, a layer 1 blockchain known for its interoperability and support for decentralized applications (dApps), is on the brink of a significant transformation.

The network, which allows users to tap into its ecosystem to put XRP to work in decentralized finance, is on the verge of a major network upgrade. Could the Flare (FLR) price explode amid this development?

Flare readies for major network upgrade

As noted, Flare is preparing for two pivotal hard forks.

The upgrade has already been successfully activated on the Songbird testnet.

On Wednesday, the Flare team confirmed the mainnet upgrade is set for December 2, 2025, at 12:00 UTC.

FLR price is up amid the successful completion of the Songbird network upgrade and the impending Flare mainnet upgrade.

These upgrades are part of a broader strategy to integrate key components of the Cancun/Dencun fork, promising a more efficient and cost-effective environment for smart contracts.

For investors and enthusiasts, the critical question is what this could mean for FLR.

Notably, the upgrades introduce advanced Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) features.

Co-founder Hugo Phillion commented on the development via X.

Flare launched in a bear market. We shipped.
Flare emerged into a bull market. We climbed the MCAP rankings. We shipped.

Throw what you will at us.
We will ship and climb.

— Hugo Philion (@HugoPhilion) November 25, 2025

The aim is to boost performance, efficiency, and scalability.

Key enhancements include the MCOPY opcode, which accelerates memory operations through chunk-based data transfers.

There’s also TSTORE/TLOAD (Transient Storage), offering cost-effective temporary storage for high-throughput applications.

According to the project, these improvements introduce critical capabilities and enhancements.

Other than supporting a more efficient and scalable dApps ecosystem, it means reduced execution costs and innovative protocols, including modular lending systems.

Additionally, the P-chain will introduce dynamic staking fees based on gas consumption and current gas prices, alongside upgrades to supporting libraries like flarejs.

As a comprehensive overhaul, the upgrade positions Flare for the next generation of dApps.

It also adds to the current traction that includes FXRP.

FLR price outlook

Historically, significant protocol upgrades have sparked investor optimism.

Often, this has led to price surges due to increased utility and adoption potential.

In this case, the successful Songbird upgrade may serve as a confidence booster, suggesting a smooth transition for the mainnet upgrade.

Enhanced scalability and lower costs could attract more dApp developers.

Potentially, this increases demand for FLR tokens used in transaction fees and governance.

Given the current price has jumped from lows of $0.011 to above $0.015 and seen over 24% gains in the past week, the upgrade could catalyse a short-term price rally.

FLR testing higher resistance levels in the coming months will depend on the next moves and overall price outlook.

The token reached highs of $0.035 in December 2024 and the all-time peak of $0.079 in January 2023.

Monero price forecast as XMR hits $420

  • Monero price rose to highs of $420 on Friday, November 28, 2025.
  • XMR bulls have extended weekly gains to 26%
  • Price outlook suggests successful breakout could push Monero to a new all-time high.

Monero (XMR) has surged by about 6% in the past 24 hours to extend weekly gains amid continued resurgence in the privacy coin sector.

As global markets grapple with macroeconomic headwinds, XMR’s price has steadied above $400 this past week, with momentum taking bulls to near $420.

This price level marks a key resistance area, above which buyers could target $500 and the all-time high of $517 seen in May 2021.

Monero price near $420 amid 26% gain

The past week has seen Monero notch steady gains, with double-digit gains allowing bulls to touch highs near $420.

At the time of writing, XMR ranks among the top gainers over the past 24 hours. Its price is up nearly 6% in this period and has jumped by over 26% in the past week.

Notably, price hovered around $369 on Nov. 25, but has broken higher to touch highs of $420.

This is a level where the privacy coin has previously faced sharp rejections, with a spike to $470 and $440 key moves on November 9 and November 15, 2025, respectively.

However, pullbacks ensued at daily closes below $420, ensuring the level remains a crucial one for both bulls and bears.

This past week’s rally nonetheless reflects renewed interest, and steady, incremental gains could allow for a decisive breakout.

Already, this performance is building a significant surge, with the privacy coin outpacing all blue-chip cryptocurrencies.

Over the week, Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana have all struggled following recent dips.

Monero is also outpacing top privacy coin Zcash, which has dropped 30% in the past week. Zcash has recently led the gainers as the privacy narrative dominated.

However, a debate on the top privacy network continues, and XMR price is up amid the overall sentiment.

Monero price forecast: can XMR bulls breach $500 next?

The XMR price has failed to shatter key resistance levels near $500, peaking at $470 over the past month.

It’s an outlook that leaves bulls waiting for a breakout to a new all-time high, with $517 having been reached in May 2021.

In the current market cycle, Monero faces robust resistance at $420.

This threshold carries historical weight. The altcoin has encountered sharp rejections at this zone on multiple occasions, most notably during fleeting rallies in November.

Resilience suggests a potential paradigm shift for XMR, though profit-taking looms as a near-term risk.

From a technical outlook perspective, bulls have a slight advantage.

Monero Price Chart
Monero price chart by TradingView

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 62 on the daily timeframe, indicating momentum well off overbought conditions.

Elsewhere, the MACD is also signaling a bullish crossover.

Meanwhile, the 50-day moving average, now sloping upward at $351, provides dynamic support.

If current price momentum holds, a breakout to the psychological $500 zone is possible.

However, a breakdown below $400 could allow bears to successfully stall bulls.

Pi Network price retests $0.25 amid major gaming deal

  • Pi Network price jumped to highs of $0.28 as gaming partnership news boosted bulls.
  • A retest of $0.25 is key and bulls could recover to target $0.50.
  • PI remains near its highest level in over a month.

Pi Network (PI) is among the altcoins to hold onto gains in the past 24 hours as of writing.

After ranking among top-performing tokens in the top 100 by market cap, PI shed gains to just over 2% over the last 24 hours.

However, PI still trades green alongside Sky and Monero, and at $0.25, hovers at a key level for both bulls and bears.

Notably, Bitcoin’s surge above $90,000 helped flip sentiment. More than that, Pi Network’s recent gaming partnership looks to be a crucial catalyst.

“The partnership between Pi and CiDi Games reinforces Pi’s ongoing initiative toward building out a viable, self-sustaining gaming environment in the Pi ecosystem, and will take these efforts to the next level, scaling game integration, social interactions and innovation across the network,” the team wrote in a blog post.

PI price outlook: Can bulls hold $0.25?

As cryptocurrencies experienced a slight uptick over the week, one of top top-gaining tokens was PI.

The announcement around PI’s expansion into the burgeoning gaming sector, which came earlier in the week, has buoyed prices.

Mainly, adding to the real-world utility of PI is attracting attention.

On November 26, the token traded around $0.24.

Yet amid the news, prices rose sharply, and buyers hit multi-week highs above $0.28.

With bulls managing to retest highs of $0.28, the highest level in over a month, the $0.30 supply zone came into view.

Above this lies the all-important April-May 2025 floor around $0.50-$0.58.

The latest uptick for PI price is therefore key to momentum, particularly as sellers have pushed prices back to the $0.25 support area.

PI price technical outlook

On the technical front, bulls have retreated from the resistance line of an ascending triangle on the daily chart.

The immediate hurdle lies in the $0.27-$0.28 range, and a flip from this mark has bulls currently battling to keep the $0.25 level.

Pi Price Chart
PI price chart by TradingView

Indicators such as the Relative Strength Index (RSI) and Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator paint a mixed outlook.

The RSI on the daily chart is downsloping after bouncing off the overbought level at 70, with overbought conditions having helped buyers push lower.

RSI is currently around 60, but a bullish divergence favours bulls.

If RSI holds 60, an upsloping trajectory could see PI price recover to $0.28 and allow for a potential breakout beyond $0.50.

This outlook will strengthen if MACD maintains the positive structure that has a histogram in green.

On the downside, a breakdown to $0.20 risks sending bulls to October 2025 lows of $0.15.

Monad (MON) soars 76% as mainnet launch sparks $1.2B trading surge

  • Monad pumped more than 76% in 24 hours to touch a high of $0.045.
  • The layer-1 blockchain’s mainnet went live this week and has an ambitious roadmap for DeFi.
  • MON is listed on top exchanges, including Coinbase and Upbit.

Monad price has skyrocketed 76% in the past 24 hours, extending gains after the highly anticipated mainnet launch that occurred on November 24, 2025.

The MON token’s gains saw the cryptocurrency rank among top gainers in the market, with its trading volume having exploded to $1.2 billion to reflect speculative enthusiasm.

The Layer-1 blockchain platform’s launch brings momentum, such as lending protocols, yield products, and liquid staking products. The memecoin frenzy is another segment to watch.

Monad pumps 76% amid $1.2 billion volume

Monad flipped the switch on its public mainnet on Monday, unlocking a cascade of decentralized applications and liquidity pools.

The token rose sharply, with intraday lows of $0.025 and highs of $0.045. MON price has jumped more than 106% since touching lows of $0.020.

Per data on CoinMarketCap, a more than 600% spike in daily volume pushed the metric to over $1.2 billion.

This sees the token rank as one of the biggest movers in terms of market activity on the day. In fact, the pump has seen Monad price outpace many top coins, including Kaspa, Sui, and Ethena.

Why is Monad price up?

As noted, what is likely fueling the momentum is Monad’s mainnet launch and DeFi potential.

In a post on X, the L1 outlined what it sees as a roadmap towards seamless integrations for DeFi growth.

Lending protocols like Curvance and TownSquare enable users to leverage MON, liquid staking tokens (LSTs), and stablecoins with high loan-to-value ratios and automated looping strategies.

Yield products such as the MON Vault and the earnAUSD Vault from Upshift offer composable, hands-off returns on stablecoins.

Meanwhile, liquid staking options further amplify utility, allowing stakers to earn rewards while deploying LSTs in DeFi.

Monad is also up amid major exchange listings. Market observers attribute the volume spike to this, with speculative fervor and early ecosystem incentives key.

Among the top centralized exchanges to list MON are Coinbase, Upbit, Bithumb, Kraken, KuCoin, and Bybit.

MON is listed on these exchanges, more coming soon: pic.twitter.com/1nkoSyxMJA

— Monad (mainnet arc) (@monad) November 24, 2025

MON price forecast

Despite the potential for profit-taking, there’s a possibility for the token to climb further.

As well as listings, other bullish catalysts will include ecosystem grants and partnerships. If Monad mirrors growth for projects such as Solana, Hyperliquid, and others, the token’s growth trajectory will tell in immediate gains.

However, bearish risks are there. It includes the aforementioned profit-taking and regulatory scrutiny.

If bulls take charge, a breakout above $0.1 could bring the coveted $1 into play. On the flipside, a retreat to lows of $0.25 will embolden sellers.

Sui’s RWA adoption expands with R25 protocol tokens: a boost to SUI price?

  • Sui’s price rose 12% to trade above $1.50 as altcoins looked to bounce.
  • R25 Protocol deployed its real-world asset tokens on the Sui blockchain.
  • Decentralized finance and tokenization are key market segments for Sui network growth.

The price of Sui rose on Tuesday as altcoins mirrored slight gains for Bitcoin, with the SUI token hitting intraday highs of $1.56 amid a key network development.

On November 24, the R25 protocol and Sui announced the launch of two real-world asset-backed tokens on Sui. The SUI price, which hovered at lows of $1.36, broke higher amid the news.

As of November 25, 2025, this development has added to catalysts such as spot ETF enthusiasm and Fed rate cut optimism to help the token hold above $1.50.

With RWAs a huge trend across the market, could R25’s launch catalyze renewed investor interest in the Sui price?

R25 protocol launches RWA-supported tokens on Sui

The R25 protocol, a specialized platform for tokenizing institutional-grade financial instruments, has officially debuted on Sui. In particular, R25 has introduced two innovative tokens: rcUSD and rcUSDp.

As announced via a blog post, this launch marks a significant milestone in embedding regulated real-world assets into decentralized ecosystems. rcUSD is an RWA-supported token while rcUSDp is a  yield-bearing token.

The latter maintains a stable value pegged at 1 USD and represents a yield-generating stablecoin backed by a diversified portfolio of tokenized money market funds and compliant stablecoins.

Meanwhile, rcUSDp serves as a yield-bearing receipt token.

It’s created by staking rcUSD within the protocol, and holders earn dual rewards: passive income from the RWA portfolio’s interest-bearing instruments and additional incentives from Sui’s native staking mechanisms.

Launch could bolster Sui’s DeFi primitives, including lending pools and automated market makers.

“This is a major step in bridging traditional finance with blockchain infrastructure, opening secure new pathways for Asia’s massive amounts of institutional capital to flow onchain,” said Christian Thompson, managing director of the Sui Foundation. “We’re excited to start our work with R25 to support their mission to bring institutional-grade RWA yield tokens to the onchain economy.”

Sui and R25 integration: boost for SUI price?

Sui’s growth includes the bridging of traditional finance and DeFi.

Its total value locked in DeFi hit $4.3 billion in October. While it plummeted to under $2 billion amid the recent crypto market crash, market dynamics suggest fresh institutional capital flows could boost traction further.

Sui Price Chart

The network maturity goes beyond institutional access, with gaming and AI agents also a big part of the protocol’s growth.

In this case, the R25 protocol’s rollout may catalyse gains amid broader crypto headwinds.

RWA expansion means institutional inflows, network utility, and potentially token demand. Metrics such as TVL and stablecoin market cap growth will signal this growth.

Short-term, SUI price could eye $1.70, a key previous support level. If bullish momentum persists, the $2.00 and $2.22 will attract fresh bullish bets.

Pendle price forecast: why PENDLE could soon reclaim $6 level

  • Pendle (PENDLE) has surged by over 12% to see bulls retest levels above $2.45.
  • Gains come amid a broader market bounce, and technical indicators point to a potential breakout.
  • PENDLE price could rally to its psychological $6 resistance, an area buyers tested in August.

Pendle’s 12% rally over the past 24 hours allowed bulls to climb to above $2.54.

It came as cryptocurrencies notched gains following an uptick on Monday across risk asset markets.

As US stocks surged on November 24, 2025, a rebound for Bitcoin ensued.

Bulls across Wall Street are also targeting further gains in this Thanksgiving-shortened trading week, with hopes of an interest rate cut in December injecting optimism.

Tokens such as Kaspa have also rallied amid these factors.

Why did the PENDLE token rally?

For Pendle, the uptick aligns with a broader rebound for decentralized finance tokens.

Aave, Ondo, Ethena and Jupiter are among the top gainers on the day.

Meanwhile, gains that see Bitcoin stabilised above $87,000 and Ethereum hovering near $2,900 have bulls poised.

The launch of several spot crypto ETFs has also attracted fresh liquidity, and yield-focused protocols are among the top performers in this environment.

Notably, Pendle price gains as excitement builds following the inclusion of the PENDLE token in the Bloomberg Galaxy DEFI Index.

The inclusion adds to the overall recognition of top crypto assets across leading TradFi platforms and benchmarks.

This is “another step toward bringing institutional attention to Pendle’s fixed yield markets,” the team posted on X.

Since people couldn't actually tell if this was real or not…

— Pendle (@pendle_fi) November 25, 2025

On-chain activity points to the growing enthusiasm.

Per DeFiLlama, Pendle generated over $16 million in fees last quarter, with this more than double the $7.52 million in Q2, 2025.

PENDLE price outlook: a key pattern points to a 100% rally

A look at the daily chart shows that PENDLE is a classic bullish reversal formation.

The falling wedge pattern signals exhaustion of sellers and accumulation by buyers as the price has corrected from just over $2.02 to above $2.54.

The jump to above $2.40 means that if bulls successfully retest and break above $3.00 could allow for a steady climb towards $6.

Hitting these levels would imply a price rally of over 100% from the key level.
