🔔 Binance Founder CZ Accuses Nigeria of Detaining Ex-Employee Tigran Gambaryan

🗣 Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, recently took to Twitter to accuse Nigeria of unlawfully detaining Tigran Gambaryan, a former Binance employee and ex-US federal agent. He claimed that Nigeria "basically kidnapped" Gambaryan for eight months without cause about a year ago. This statement was made in response to a post by former President Donald Trump on Truth Social and a subsequent tweet by U.S. War Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding potential actions over killings in Nigeria.

Trump warned that the U.S. may "stop all aid" to Nigeria and "go into that now disgraced country, 'guns-a-blazing,'"

and Hegseth added that the Department of War is "preparing for action" unless the Nigerian government protects Christians.

📉 Bitcoin and Ether ETFs Face Outflows While Solana ETFs Thrive

📊 In early November, Bitcoin and Ether exchange-traded funds (ETFs) experienced significant outflows exceeding $320 million. In contrast, Solana ETFs attracted $70 million in new investments, continuing their positive momentum.

🔴 Bitcoin ETFs recorded their fourth consecutive day of outflows, losing $186.51 million. The majority of these redemptions were from Blackrock’s IBIT, which accounted for the entire day's exits. Despite this, total trading volume reached $4.69 billion, with net assets decreasing to $143.51 billion.

📉 Ether ETFs also saw substantial outflows, with a total of $135.76 million withdrawn across six funds. Blackrock’s ETHA led these redemptions with $81.70 million, followed by Fidelity’s FETH at $25.14 million. The trading volume for Ether ETFs was $2.51 billion, and net assets fell to $24.02 billion.

⚡️ In contrast, Solana ETFs continued to perform well, with a net inflow of $70.05 million. Bitwise’s BSOL captured the majority of this at $65.16 million, while Grayscale’s GSOL added $4.90 million. The day's trading volume for Solana ETFs was $67.59 million, and net assets rose to $513.35 million.

🔄 The contrasting trends between Solana's inflows and the outflows from Bitcoin and Ether suggest a shift in investor focus towards alternative blockchain assets. This indicates a growing appetite for diversification beyond the traditional leaders in the cryptocurrency market.

🚨 Spanish Judge Orders Cryptocurrency Entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo Castillo Detained Over $300 Million Pyramid Scheme Allegations

❗️ A Spanish High Court judge has placed cryptocurrency entrepreneur Álvaro Romillo Castillo, known as "Cryptospain" and "Luis Crypto", into provisional detention without bail. This decision comes after allegations that he orchestrated a $300 million pyramid scheme that defrauded investors. The judge's order was prompted by concerns that Romillo might flee the country following recent fund transfers detected by investigators.

⚠️ Romillo recently attracted attention for admitting to financing the European election campaign of Luis Pérez, leader of the far-right political party Se Acabó La Fiesta (SALF). He was arrested by law enforcement agents from the Civil Guard’s Central Operative Unit (UCO) on November 6. The judge issued the detention order after being informed of Romillo's high risk of failing to appear for his scheduled hearing, especially after investigators traced $33.5 million in recent overseas money movements.

⚖️ Romillo faces serious charges including fraud, membership in a criminal organization, and money laundering. These charges are linked to his creation and operation of the Madeira Invest Club (MIC), which Spain’s National Securities Market Commission (CNMV) described as a "financial boiler room." The MIC allegedly promised investors minimum annual returns of 20% by raising funds for high-value assets such as virtual art, gold, boats, cars, and other luxury goods.

💰 Authorities suspect that Romillo systematically diverted funds from the platform to purchase personal assets. During interrogation, he claimed that he intended to repay the estimated 2,700 affected investors and stated that he had refunded many victims in cash, although he could not provide evidence for this. However, his testimony raised doubts due to contradictions about his possessions and lifestyle.

📱 According to the judge, Romillo used his social media popularity to run a "fraudulent business of mass fundraising" between January 2023 and September 2024, funneling investor funds into personal wealth. Several prosecution groups have supported the prosecutor’s request for his immediate imprisonment.

🆕 Rumble and Tether Forge a $100 Million Advertising Partnership for a Freedom-First Digital Ecosystem

❗️ Rumble Inc. has announced a significant $100 million advertising deal with Tether, set to commence in 2026. This two-year agreement, valued at $50 million annually, follows Tether's previous $150 million GPU services agreement that supported Rumble's exchange offer for Northern Data AG.

Tether’s commitment to our Freedom-First video platform proves that Rumble and the creators who have stood unwaveringly for free speech are the foundation for the future of advertising and creator monetization,

said Chris Pavlovski, Rumble's chairman and CEO.

💳 The partnership will integrate Rumble Wallet, facilitating transactions with USDT, XAUT, and bitcoin while providing content creators with new monetization and audience engagement tools. This commitment also aims to accelerate the development of privacy-centric advertising solutions.

🌐 This deal coincides with Rumble's plan to acquire Northern Data, a Germany-based firm with 22,000 Nvidia GPUs. This acquisition is expected to enhance Rumble Cloud's infrastructure and international reach. Tether will act as an anchor customer, utilizing Rumble's GPU resources for its decentralized AI initiatives. Pavlovski emphasized the goal of establishing

a self-sustaining AI ecosystem rooted in privacy, independence, and resilience.

🔗 Rumble's alliance with Tether builds on a previous $775 million strategic investment from Tether in February 2025, which supported the launch of Rumble Wallet and its Freedom-First framework. Both companies are committed to decentralization, transparency, and independence as they seek to challenge traditional technology platforms and compete against centralized cloud providers in the AI infrastructure space.

🆕 Aero: The New Unified Decentralized Exchange

🔗 On November 12, 2025, Dromos Labs announced the merger of Aerodrome and Velodrome into a single decentralized exchange (DEX) called Aero. This new platform aims to consolidate liquidity across Base, Optimism, Ethereum's mainnet, and Circle’s Arc chain.

❗️ The merger is designed to streamline governance, unify incentives, and enhance access to decentralized finance (DeFi). Aerodrome and Velodrome have been pivotal in their ecosystems, with a combined total value locked (TVL) exceeding $530 million and significant annual fee revenue.

📊 Aerodrome leads with approximately $457 million in TVL and $180 million in yearly fees, while Velodrome contributes about $56 million and $7 million from the Optimism side. The integration of these platforms will simplify user experience by centralizing liquidity.

🖥 Aero operates on the METADEX03 system, which aims to minimize value leakage and redirect more revenue to participants. The upgraded Slipstream V3 engine incorporates MEV capture into swaps, reducing reliance on external bots.

🌐 The platform's cross-chain capabilities include Ethereum's mainnet for broader access and Circle’s Arc for compliance-focused trading. Aero also features Metaswaps for cross-chain transactions and a tiered token-launch system catering to various regulatory needs.

🔄 Users can continue using the existing platforms temporarily, but support will diminish as Aero becomes the primary focus. The new AERO token will replace the current tokens, with 94.5% of the supply allocated to Aerodrome users and 5.5% to Velodrome holders.

⚠️ Aero is set to launch in Q2 2026, with plans to onboard Ethereum mainnet and Arc before further expansion. The team anticipates that this unified approach could capture 10–15% of Layer 2 DEX volume.

❗️ Argentine Banks Poised for Cryptocurrency Services, Says Towerbank Executive

💬 Gabriel Campa, Head of Digital Assets at Towerbank, expressed confidence in Argentine banks' readiness to enter the cryptocurrency services market. Speaking at LABITCONF 2025, a major crypto event in Latin America, he emphasized that many banks have already developed the necessary software and are merely awaiting regulatory approval.

I believe the banking sector is ready, and I know many banks in Argentina that will launch their apps as soon as the law changes,

Campa stated. He noted that this evolution could take two forms: some banks may develop their own crypto solutions, while others might partner with third-party providers.

There will be a mixture of these two approaches,

he added.

📉 Historically, Argentine banks were early adopters of crypto services in Latam, with Banco Galicia offering such services in May 2022 before the Central Bank of Argentina prohibited private banks from providing crypto assets and derivatives. However, the current libertarian government under President Javier Milei may reconsider this ban.

⚡️ Campa predicts a shift in this landscape as the Argentine government is openly discussing crypto regulation.

You can see the signs. You can see certain changes in the government. It’s clear that Argentina is changing,

he concluded.

❗️ William Lonergan Hill Sentenced for Operating Unlicensed Bitcoin Service

⚠️ William Lonergan Hill, co-founder and chief technology officer of Samourai Wallet, was sentenced to four years in federal prison for running an unlicensed money transmitting business associated with the privacy-centric bitcoin service. The sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in the Southern District of New York after Hill pleaded guilty in July to conspiracy charges, which led to the dismissal of a more serious money laundering conspiracy charge.

💰 Prosecutors argued that Hill and his co-founder Keonne Rodriguez marketed Samourai Wallet’s privacy features—especially Whirlpool and Ricochet—to criminal users, facilitating approximately $237 million in illicit transactions through the platform. While Rodriguez received the maximum sentence of five years on November 6, the judge considered Hill’s age and a recent diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder as reasons for a reduced sentence.

🛡 The defense requested time served, highlighting Hill’s detention in Portugal related to extradition and arguing that his autism influenced his actions. Ultimately, Judge Cote imposed a sentence that fell between the government's request and the Probation Office's suggestion of around 42 months. Hill is required to self-surrender by January 2, 2026 to begin his sentence, which includes three years of supervised release.

🔍 This ruling comes amid ongoing discussions among policymakers and developers regarding the accountability of creators of open-source privacy tools. The Department of Justice has framed this case as a response to significant criminal misuse, while many privacy advocates view it as a broader examination of financial privacy software.

📉 Delphi Digital Warns of Declining Institutional Interest in Crypto Amid Market Downturn

📊 Delphi Digital, a blockchain research firm, has expressed concerns over the dwindling interest of institutional investors in the cryptocurrency market due to the ongoing downturn. The firm reports that flows to digital asset treasury companies (DATs) have plummeted by 90% from their August peak.

Institutional capital is sitting on the sidelines while existing positions hemorrhage value,

Delphi Digital concluded.

📉 In August, institutional inflows reached $5.5 billion, primarily for Bitcoin purchases. However, by October and November, this figure had dropped to $500 million as institutions opted to wait for market stabilization. The strategy segment of DATs has also weakened significantly, with its bitcoin multiple-to-net-asset-value (mNAV) falling from 2.5 to 1.2.

❗️ This decline in institutional investment is concerning as it could lead to increased market volatility. Analysts had previously noted that institutional investors could bring stability to the market. However, reports indicate that DATs have been unloading their positions even at a loss during this market crash.

⚠️ Looking ahead, while the use case for bitcoin and crypto treasuries remains valid, the recent price downturn has made DATs more aware of the cryptocurrency market's implied volatility. It is expected that DATs will evolve their strategies to address these challenges.

🆕 Anchorage Digital Bank Expands Access to USDtb, the First Federally Regulated Stablecoin in the U.S.

🏦 Anchorage Digital Bank has announced a significant expansion of its services by allowing clients to mint, redeem, and hold USDtb directly on its platform. This move follows a partnership that designates Anchorage as the sole issuer of USDtb, the first federally regulated stablecoin in the United States.

💬 Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage, emphasized the importance of this expansion for enhancing the infrastructure of compliant digital dollars. He referred to USDtb's federally regulated status as a

major milestone

in the development of stablecoins in the U.S. The new features for minting, redeeming, and earning rewards are aimed at promoting global adoption.

💼 USDtb is tailored for institutional use and is backed by short-duration U.S. Treasury assets, including investments from Blackrock’s BUIDL fund. In contrast, USDe, a synthetic dollar created by Ethena Labs, maintains its value through a delta-neutral model that pairs crypto asset holdings with offsetting perpetual futures positions.

🎉 Guy Young, Founder of Ethena Labs, hailed Anchorage’s integration as a significant step for USDtb adoption. He noted that the combination of rewards and regulatory oversight sets a precedent for future dollar-denominated digital assets.

📈 For Anchorage clients, this system offers three main advantages: easy access to USDtb, yield-style rewards without compromising liquidity, and the option to use both USDtb and USDe as collateral for efficient capital strategies on the platform.

🔗 Clients can access USDtb directly or through Anchorage's trading desk, while USDe can be obtained by converting USD, stablecoins, or other digital assets. This latest expansion is positioned as a crucial step towards creating a cohesive environment for custody, issuance, settlement, and reward features under federal oversight.

📈 Bitcoin's Price Analysis: A Potential Breakout Ahead

🔍 On November 28, 2025, Bitcoin's price hovered between $91,463 and $91,809, with a market cap of $1.826 trillion and a 24-hour trading volume of $52.72 billion. The charts indicate that this price action could serve as a springboard for a potential breakout rather than just a temporary pause.

📊 The daily chart reveals a significant recovery for Bitcoin. After a steep decline from a peak of $116,381 to a low of $80,537, Bitcoin has shown a strong reversal. Green candles are forming with higher lows and increasing bullish volume, suggesting that investors began buying around the $83,000 to $85,000 range.

📈 Currently, with the price above the $90,000 psychological barrier, the market is eyeing resistance levels between $95,000 and $97,000 for the next move. The 4-hour chart indicates a consolidation phase with bullish potential. Bitcoin has rallied from $84,157 to $92,003 and is now moving sideways, forming a well-defined pennant. A breakout above $92,200 with sufficient volume could lead to a target around $95,000 to $96,000.

⏳ The 1-hour chart shows some indecision in the market, with prices ranging between $91,500 and $92,000. Low volume and indecision candles suggest that the market is torn between conviction and caution. A breakout above $92,100 with volume would signal the next leg up, potentially reaching $93,500.

📉 Momentum indicators present a mixed picture. The relative strength index (RSI) is at 41, the Stochastic oscillator is neutral at 55, and the commodity channel index (CCI) is slightly bearish at −25. The average directional index (ADX) is healthy at 43, indicating that the trend has strength, but whether it will continue is uncertain.

📊 Moving averages show a divided outlook. The 10-period exponential moving average (EMA) and simple moving average (SMA) are below the current price, supporting upward movement. However, from the 20-period to the 200-period EMAs and SMAs, all readings from $93,223 to $109,866 indicate lower prices, suggesting that the broader trend has not yet convincingly reversed.

⚡️ Jordan's Shift: Lifting the Cryptocurrency Trading Ban

🔄 Jordan is preparing to lift its ban on cryptocurrency trading, with the Jordan Securities Commission (JSC) announcing that a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets will be established by the end of the year. This decision marks a significant shift towards regulation rather than prohibition, aimed at encouraging investment and boosting the national economy.

🗓 This move follows the cabinet's decision in October to revoke the previous ban on crypto trading, which was imposed due to concerns about high risks and potential money laundering. Previously, Jordanian residents faced severe penalties for violating this ban, including hefty fines and possible imprisonment.

📝 The new legislation is being developed by the JSC, which was tasked by the cabinet in January to create a clear legal framework within a year. JSC Chairman Emad Abu Haltam stated that the new rules aim to
provide a secure encrypted environment based on transparency and trust.
He emphasized that the regulations will cover licensing for brokerage and trading, custody services, platform operation, and financial services related to virtual assets. These will be aligned with standards for technical readiness, governance, working capital, and compliance with anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing requirements.

🚫 The confirmation of Jordan's move towards regulating cryptocurrencies comes nearly a year after the cabinet approved an initiative to establish a regulatory framework. The draft Virtual Currency Trading Law of 2025 specifies that only entities licensed by the JSC will be allowed to conduct virtual asset activities within the kingdom. It also grants Jordanian authorities the power to shut down unlicensed entities and allows the Central Bank of Jordan to authorize the use of virtual assets for payment purposes under specific regulations.

⚡️ Trump's Potential UFO File Declassification Sparks Betting Surge on Polymarket

📈 Speculation is soaring on Polymarket regarding whether President Trump will declassify UFO files before the end of 2025. The implied probability of this event jumped dramatically from single digits to the mid-70s within hours on December 7, briefly reaching 81%.

BREAKING: Trump projected to declassify the UFO Files this year

💰 Traders are betting heavily on the "Yes" side of this wager, with over $233,000 flowing into the market. The contract stipulates that only official government releases of previously classified UFO-related documents will count as a "Yes." Despite the strict criteria, traders are optimistic, buying shares at around 76 to 77 cents.

📈 The surge in betting activity was triggered by large orders and a Polymarket post highlighting Trump's potential declassification. This sudden repricing suggests either strong conviction among traders or a fear of missing out (FOMO).

🤔 Several factors contribute to the belief that Trump might follow through with this declassification. He has previously expressed curiosity about UFOs and has positioned himself as a transparency-focused president. During the 2024 campaign, reports indicated he planned to release unreleased footage if reelected.

📢 Bipartisan pressure also plays a role. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer urged Trump to declassify UAP materials as part of broader transparency efforts. The current political climate, marked by congressional hearings and public calls for clarity, could theoretically support such a move.

❗️ UFO activists further bolster this narrative. Dr. Steven Greer claimed to have met with Trump officials regarding UAP transparency. Trump's history of releasing classified material suggests a willingness to challenge bureaucratic resistance.

👀 Soccerverse Secures FIFPRO License for Authentic Football Gaming

🌍 Soccerverse, a decentralized football management game built on the Polygon blockchain, has achieved a significant milestone by securing a global licensing agreement with FIFPRO, the international union representing professional footballers. This deal grants Soccerverse access to the names and likenesses of over 65,000 players from more than 70 unions worldwide.

✔️ Andrew Gore, CEO of Soccerverse, emphasized the importance of this partnership, stating,

Partnering with FIFPRO is a landmark moment for Soccerverse and a massive win for our community.

He added that trust and authenticity are crucial to their vision, and this license represents their commitment to building a legitimate football universe.

🔔 With the new FIFPRO license, Soccerverse players will soon be able to manage real-world football stars, enhancing the realism often lacking in other blockchain games. Andy Colosimo, COO of Soccerverse, pointed out that while many blockchain football games operate like traditional Web2 titles, Soccerverse offers a decentralized alternative. Its entire ecosystem runs autonomously on-chain, with key decisions made through decentralized logic that no single entity controls.

🌟 FIFPRO has welcomed this collaboration, recognizing Soccerverse's innovative approach to fan-driven club management.

We value partners who are willing to innovate and rethink the norm as digital entertainment evolves,

said a representative from FIFPRO Commercial Enterprises.

📊 Market Expectations for the Upcoming Federal Reserve Meeting

🔍 Following the recent interest rate cut by the U.S. Federal Reserve, all eyes are now on the upcoming meeting scheduled for January 28, 2026. Current predictions indicate that the central bank is likely to maintain the target rate at its current level.

🗣 In a recent press conference, Powell emphasized that while there is a consensus on the need to address high inflation and a softening labor market, the real debate lies in how to balance these risks. He noted that

some members feel we should stop here and that we’re at the right place and just wait

📈 Futures markets, particularly CME’s Fedwatch Tool, show a strong leaning towards a no-change decision, with a 75.6% probability assigned to the Fed keeping the target rate steady. The likelihood of a rate cut stands at 24.4%, and expectations for a rate hike are virtually nonexistent.

📊 Prediction markets also align with this outlook. On Kalshi, the probability for the Fed maintaining rates is priced at 79%, while a 25-basis-point cut trails at 22%. Similarly, Polymarket shows a 78% probability for a no change decision, with a 21% chance for a 25-basis-point decrease.
