🔥 IN SIGHT: @CantonNetwork ($CC) now represents the overwhelming majority of real-world assets tracked on RWA.xyz. However, nearly all of that value comes from a single source: Broadridge’s repo platform. This concentration highlights Broadridge’s significant role in Canton’s growing tokenized asset ecosystem.

🚨 JUST IN: InterLink (@inter_link) has outlined potential use cases for its $ITLG token as mainnet transfers approach, ranging from ecosystem payments to long-term savings. The 30-day mainnet KYC window is still underway, as the project prepares for the next stage of token utility.

LATEST: Cardano has introduced a 120 million $ADA incentive program aimed at attracting $200 million in new total value locked (TVL). Alpha Growth’s PRIME initiative will support ecosystem expansion through protocol grants, AMM yield subsidies and money market integrations. The $200 million TVL figure is an ambitious growth target, not a guaranteed outcome, as the program seeks to strengthen DeFi activity and liquidity across the Cardano ecosystem.

NEWS: A tough week for spot $XRP ETFs… 📉 Despite an incredible run for most of the year, demand for spot @Ripple ETFs has certainly cooled off. This week, these products failed to log a single day of net inflows—recording three days of zero activity and one day of net outflows. While the ETFs are down -$530K on the week, they still hold 1.8% of $XRP's total circulating supply. Is this just a short-term breath of exhaustion, or are institutional investors stepping back?

🔥 BREAKING: TRILLIONS IN US RETIREMENT FUNDS COULD GAIN ACCESS TO CRYPTO The US Department of Labor’s final 401(k) rule on alternative assets has reached the White House for review, marking the final step before publication.

🔥 LATEST: @CryptoHayes WARNS OF POST-IPO DILUTION RISK FOR AI GIANTS Arthur Hayes argues that potential post-IPO dilution involving @SpaceX, @AnthropicAI, and @OpenAI could pressure AI stock prices, freeze credit markets, and reduce dollar liquidity, creating headwinds for crypto. However, he believes the resulting crisis could force central banks to expand money printing to stabilize markets, ultimately creating what he calls a “glorious” setup for Bitcoin ($BTC).

🔥 NEWS: ZCASH GETS 3X FASTER WHILE KEEPING PRIVACY INTACT The NU7 update for @Zcash is now available, cutting block times from 75 seconds to just 25 seconds without compromising privacy. The wait for three confirmations also drops from around 4 minutes to 75 seconds. $ZEC issuance remains unchanged but will be rebalanced. The update also introduces new limits on shielded interactions to prevent potential spam attacks, while 60% of transaction fees will be locked in a miner reserve starting in 2031. Exchanges, wallets, and merchant services relying on transaction confirmations will need to adapt.

🔥 JUST IN: @LidoFinance has officially launched its new token swaps feature on November 5, bringing another utility to the @ethereum staking ecosystem.

JUST IN🔥: Crypto markets face a wave of major developments as Trump-backed World Liberty Financial (@worldlibertyfi) unveils a new $WLFI token buyback program, while Hyperliquid Strategies reports $620 million in Q3 profits, largely driven by unrealized $HYPE gains. Meanwhile, Binance is asking ArbitrumDAO to unfreeze 8,425 ETH and 74.56 million ARB linked to its hot wallet exploit, with a governance vote potentially taking more than seven weeks. These developments highlight growing activity across crypto markets, from token buybacks and derivatives expansion to exchange security and onchain governance.

🚨WATCH: Hyperliquid Strategies reported $620 million in Q3 profits, with most of the gains driven by unrealized appreciation in its $HYPE holdings. The company is also seeking regulatory approval to bring Hyperliquid perpetual futures trading to US investors. If approved, the initiative could expand @HyperliquidX’s presence in the US derivatives market, marking a key development in its broader growth strategy.

🔥 BREAKING: The Democratic sweep could reshape crypto regulation in unexpected ways. 245 pro-crypto candidates have been elected so far, representing 68.2% of midterm winners, according to Stand With Crypto. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse noted that pro-crypto lawmakers won on both sides of the aisle, reinforcing the push for clear, America-built crypto rules. The industry also spent over $170 million on the midterms, largely through Fairshake and its affiliates, strengthening crypto’s political influence. However, Democratic control could bring tougher oversight. Elizabeth Warren and Maxine Waters may prioritize consumer protection, illicit finance restrictions, and scrutiny of Trump-family ventures such as World Liberty Financial. These competing priorities could complicate the industry-backed CLARITY Act, but tougher negotiations may also create an opportunity for broader bipartisan agreement. The key challenge now is building crypto regulations that can withstand changes in political power.

JUST IN: The @MercadoBitcoin security breach appears to have escalated further, with attackers continuing to drain funds for four hours after the exchange initially claimed the incident was contained.

The incident highlights the challenges centralized platforms face in responding quickly to sophisticated cross-chain attacks.

🚨 BREAKING: @21shares , which manages more than $6.5 billion in assets, has also joined the @Bitcoin staking initiative. Participants can earn weekly BTC rewards at a target annual yield of 3% over a six-month period. Notably, their Bitcoin remains timelocked directly on the Bitcoin Layer 1 and under their own custody throughout the term. This approach highlights growing institutional interest in generating native BTC yield while maintaining direct control over Bitcoin holdings.

BREAKING: @SeiNetwork Labs has confirmed that the Sei network is not vulnerable to the recently disclosed lattice hash attack. According to the team, exploiting the issue would require significantly more network state than Sei generates under its current operating conditions. This suggests the attack's resource requirements are beyond the network's existing capacity. The update provides reassurance to the Sei community regarding the network's security and resilience against emerging threats.

LATEST: @tradeon21x, Europe’s first fully regulated DLT trading and settlement venue, has achieved 10,000 order matches per second in a US stock tokenization pilot powered by LayerZero’s Zero (@LayerZero_Core). The result represents up to 45 times the performance of the EVM baseline, while maintaining fully on-chain order matching without relying on off-chain execution. This milestone demonstrates the potential of blockchain infrastructure to support high-performance financial markets. It also marks another step toward bringing traditional stock trading onto tokenized platforms.
