Digital Assets Decoded: Your Daily Crypto Guide podcast.

Hey crypto crew, it’s Crypto Willy here—your best friend next door with the tech scoop—back for another wild week in the land of digital assets on Digital Assets Decoded: Your Daily Crypto Guide.

Let’s dive right in, because this week in crypto was anything but mellow. The queen herself, **Bitcoin**, took center stage in what will likely be called the November Flush. After shimmering near an all-time high of $126,000 in October, the price spiraled—falling over 9% in the week ending November 14th and officially wiping out all its 2025 gains. At one point, BTC tumbled to $86,100, before clawing its way back toward the $92K+ zone. Analysts like Julio Moreno at CryptoQuant and tech watcher Luke Lango flagged what’s going on: whales dumped assets, market liquidity got tight, and retail investors just aren’t buying the dip. The dreaded “death cross” showed up—a technical chart pattern that historically screams caution in crypto winters, and we're officially in bear market territory.

But it’s not just about price swings. This week, **Bitcoin’s sentiment tanked into “extreme fear territory”** after failing to hold above the psychological $100,000 line. Traders are watching the 50-week moving average—break that, and history says we could see a bigger correction, excluding the quirks of pandemic cycles. Meanwhile, despite the crash and jitters, Frank Holmes at HIVE Digital Technologies points out the macro backdrop still structurally favors Bitcoin and gold, thanks to government overspending and money-printing antics keeping their long-term case alive.

Other coins felt the heat too. **Ethereum** stayed “reasonably stable” above $3,050 according to TradingView, while **Solana** struggled but held its $140–$150 support. The total crypto market cap took a bruising flash crash, dropping $50 billion below its 2024 peak, now sitting around $3.73 trillion. It’s a sea of red, with profit-taking tech giants and nervous holders driving those outflows.

But zoom out a second, and the crypto scene isn’t all doom. According to Financial Stability Board watchdogs this week, **global regulators are ramping up debates on the gaps in international crypto rules** as digital assets and tokenization surge. The International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) warns that tokenization is creating new risks—operational fragilities and confusing governance—but also unlocks radical transparency and access. The battle between crypto upstarts and traditional banks over who sets the rules is heating up, promising to reshape how assets are issued and traded forever.

Speaking of reshaping, here’s a cool story: Base’s co-founder Jesse is shaking up tokenization with the new **jesse token** rallying to a $14 million valuation—proof that personalized blockchain innovation is trending. And NMR made headlines, spiking over 15% after a juicy $30 million funding injection, fueling market optimism for future projects.

Asia also saw action: reports from Bizantine Capital’s March Zheng said top-20 tokens held their ground for a change, highlighting that coins with staking and institutional demand—like XRP, which surged 7% thanks to new Ripple-linked ETFs—are outperforming the wild speculative plays.

Sure, the volatility wiped out $7.35 billion in liquidations and left plenty of casualties among leveraged traders. But if anything, this week reminded us how crypto’s future depends as much on regulatory clarity and real-world utility as it does epic price action.
