On November 6, 2025 a strategic alliance was announced between Hadron (Tether’s tokenization platform), Bitfinex Securities and ETF issuer KraneShares to explore the tokenization of ETFs and other real-world assets. The operation seeks to build a comprehensive solution—technology, regulatory framework and distribution channel—aimed at reducing settlement frictions and broadening access, impacting asset managers, institutional investors and secondary markets.
BONK recorded a daily drop of nearly 4% after giving up key levels, which rekindles technical weakness and intensifies selling pressure. This move affects speculative traders and holders with short exposure, and confirms a technical deterioration that, if it persists, could accelerate capital outflows and raise volatility in the Solana ecosystem.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) will launch a global initiative to train governments in blockchain technologies, centered on a “Government Blockchain Academy” developed with the Exponential Science Foundation. The measure seeks to improve transparency and public management across ministries of finance, procurement and climate, extending an internal academy already operational within the UN. The official launch is scheduled for 2025, with first country-level programs beginning in 2026.
Circle updated its terms of service in early November 2025 and allowed the use of USDC for “legally permissible transactions involving firearms protected by the Second Amendment”, reversing a previous ban that barred operations related to weapons and ammunition. The decision matters because it exposes how stablecoins can be subject to political pressures and affects merchants, users, and lawmakers who are debating the regulatory role of dollar-linked digital currencies.
Ripple announced a strategic $500 million round at a $40 billion valuation led by Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, with participation from Pantera, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard and Marshall Wace.

TON fell to $1.93 in a session marked by a shift toward lower-risk assets, a dynamic that pressured alternative tokens and investors with direct exposure to altcoins and leveraged positions.

BONK registered a 2.8% advance and is consolidating above the $0.000012 support level, a setup that directly impacts shorts and short-term holders. The move suggests local demand has overcome selling pressure at that threshold, which matters to traders who rely on support/resistance for risk management. Price action is stabilizing, giving the market a clearer reference to calibrate exposure and stops.
