[CoinGlass sees $68K as Bitcoin’s next major support]

CoinGlass said on its official X account that Bitcoin’s next major support is likely around $68,000. The market data analytics firm said large buy orders were concentrated in the $67,000-$68,500 range on Binance BTC perpetual futures, while dense buy walls had also formed around the current price zone of $72,000-$73,500.

By contrast, sell orders were waiting in the $74,000-$75,000 range, including as much as about $12.93 million, and the order book’s buy-sell imbalance stood at around -9.2%, indicating selling pressure held the upper hand, CoinGlass said. It added that limit orders can be canceled or moved, so the buy wall cannot be definitively seen as actual support. According to CoinMarketCap, BTC was trading at $73,835, up 0.98%.

[Aave founder says DeFi lending needs emergency brakes like circuit breakers]

Aave founder Stani Kulechov said at the Digital Asset Summit London that DeFi lending protocols need emergency braking mechanisms similar to circuit breakers.

Kulechov said institutional investors participating in DeFi face constant risk, adding that immutability, or the difficulty of arbitrarily changing the rules or code of deployed smart contracts and protocols, is a terrible feature of DeFi. He warned that without emergency shutdown tools such as circuit breakers, it could take years to unwind a lending pool after an oracle error.

[Stacks Labs completes first quantum-resistant sBTC transfer on mainnet]

Stacks Labs said it completed the first sBTC transfer on the Stacks mainnet using quantum-resistant cryptography. The transaction used the hash-based Lamport One-Time Signature, and the company said it demonstrated that quantum-resistant signatures can be verified through the Clarity smart contract language without changing the existing protocol.

Stacks Labs plans to review the applicability of other quantum-resistant signature algorithms and expand its research to Bitcoin layer one. It added that Stacks uses BTC as its final settlement base, while sBTC is backed by BTC on Bitcoin L1. The company said the research is intended to strengthen Stacks’ ability to respond to quantum attacks and contribute to a future transition to a quantum-resistant security framework for Bitcoin.

[Bitwise CIO says Democratic control of Congress may have limited long-term crypto impact]

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan said Democratic control of the U.S. Congress after the midterm elections may have only a limited long-term impact on the crypto industry.

Citing crypto lobbying group Stand With Crypto, Hougan said the next Congress is expected to have 51 crypto-friendly senators, little changed from 52 in the current Congress. In the House, at least 241 lawmakers were counted as crypto-friendly, giving them a majority, Hougan said. Democrats are expected to control both chambers, but the overall age of lawmakers has declined, which Hougan said could make the generational shift in Congress a positive factor for the long-term crypto policy environment.

He added that tougher investigations into crypto projects tied to the Trump family could pose a short-term risk.

[Solana Mobile taps Helius, Jito as first dApp Store 'Guardians']

Solana Mobile has introduced a decentralized review system that distributes app screening and security verification for its dApp Store to external independent operators. On Nov. 11, Solana Mobile announced it had selected Helius and Jito as the first independent 'Guardians' for the Solana dApp Store.

All new apps and updates submitted to the store will now have to pass automated security screening and policy compliance checks by the two operators, with review voting results recorded on-chain for transparent public verification. To participate in the network, each Guardian must lock up 250,000 SKR tokens. Regular token holders can also take part in the verification system by staking their holdings to a preferred Guardian. Solana Mobile is also running a program to buy back and permanently burn SKR in the market using revenue from validators and Seed Vault Wallets, managing the token's circulating supply.

[Pro investors raise exposure to HYPE, SUI and UNI over first-generation altcoins]

According to a CoinShares survey released today, the average portfolio allocation to digital assets edged up to 1.3% from 1.2% in July. Investors reduced allocations to traditional assets such as stocks and bonds and reallocated funds from cash into alternative assets including commodities and digital assets.

Portfolio diversification ranked as the top investment motive at 40%, while speculation fell below 9%, dropping to fifth place. By asset, Bitcoin and Ethereum maintained their status as core holdings, accounting for 47% of all position responses. In the altcoin segment, allocations to first-generation coins such as Cardano declined, while preference shifted toward emerging infrastructure tokens including Hyperliquid, Sui, Uniswap and Near.

The biggest barriers to entry for investors were regulatory uncertainty and internal institutional rules. Meanwhile, the U.S. Federal Reserve's hawkish rate policy and delays in U.S. Congress's handling of the Clarity Act were cited as key drags on investor sentiment.

[Nomura weighs sale of crypto unit Laser Digital amid selective pullback]

Nomura Holdings, Japan’s largest investment bank, is exploring a sale of its cryptocurrency subsidiary Laser Digital, according to the financial industry on Nov. 12.

Nomura is in early talks with potential buyers including UK-based financial brokerage Marex over the sale of its stake in Laser Digital. The discussions remain preliminary, and there is no certainty a deal will be reached. Internal restructuring or retaining the business unit also remain possible.

The review comes amid weaker performance. Laser Digital posted a steep loss last year as the market downturn and lower trading revenue weighed on results, becoming a major factor behind Nomura’s broader European unit slipping into the red.
