🚨 Last Night’s Crypto Flash Points — Get the Market Focus in 1 Minute!
1⃣ $BTC, $ETH, $SOL dipped first then rebounded, easing market fear. U.S. equities broadly fell, but crypto-related stocks bounced instead. Crypto didn’t follow the drop — a positive signal.
2⃣ On Polymarket, the probability of a 25 bps rate cut in December is 52%, while “no change” is 46%. But on CME’s FedWatch, the numbers flip — 51% probability for “no change.” In short: trust the capital flows.
3⃣ Two major Ethereum KOLs spoke again:
— Tom Lee says the market is close to bottoming this week.
— Xie Lihua disclosed he is holding spot positions unchanged, seeing 3000–3300U as a spot dip-buy zone.
4⃣ $ASTER surged 16% in a day, pushing its market cap to 10.9B. $HYPE continues to range. PERP “battles” are cooling down — ASTER’s strength is unusually pronounced.
5⃣ Filecoin hinted at shifting from storage to on-chain cloud services, launching a testnet for its cloud platform. $FIL previously spiked then slumped over 50%, now at a 4B market cap. Keep an eye on $FIL.
6⃣ $STRK has bounced back, with market cap returning to 2B. The rally is mostly driven by privacy hype, as STRK’s founder is also a ZEC co-founder. Ethereum narrative is rotating toward privacy.
7⃣ Google released Gemini 3, a major leap in reasoning and coding capabilities. U.S. tech stocks continue correcting, so this AI breakthrough is a much-needed “lifeline.”
8⃣ Mt.Gox transferred 185 BTC to Kraken (~$16.8M), and another $936M worth of BTC moved. The market’s reaction remained calm — bearish news not pushing prices lower is bullish.
9⃣ Ethereum continues doubling down on privacy: Vitalik showcased the new privacy upgrade Kohaku in Argentina, a modular foundational framework enabling developers to build secure, privacy-focused wallets.
