Crypto news today, 10 November 2026: bitcoin falls below Sunday's low after hot CPI, and the MEXC ban gets a start date
Bitcoin went through Sunday night's low on Tuesday afternoon and touched $72,727 on Binance at 16:37 UTC, its lowest price since 20 August. It had been drifting lower since midnight, but the sharp part of the fall began with a hotter-than-expected US inflation report at 13:30 UTC and got worse two hours later as US stocks fell and Treasury yields kept climbing. By 22:30 UTC bitcoin had climbed back to $73,664, still 2% lower than a day earlier, and ether was 3.7% lower at $2,051. Alternative.me's Fear & Greed Index read 32. FinCEN's order cutting MEXC off from US banks was published with a start date of 10 December. MARA said it had sold 13,597 bitcoin after the quarter and paid off its $750 million of bitcoin-backed loans.

1. Why is bitcoin down today? A hot CPI print, then a second leg as stocks fell
US consumer prices rose 0.4% in October, the Bureau of Labor Statistics said, against 0.3% in the Dow Jones consensus. Core prices, which leave out food and energy, rose 0.3% against a forecast of 0.2%. In September the two readings were 0.6% and 0.3%. There is no 12-month rate this time, because the BLS never collected October 2025 prices during last year's shutdown. In the minute the data landed, bitcoin swung between $74,770 and $73,525 on Binance: the high came one second after 13:30 UTC and the low 26 seconds later.
Where Sunday's low gave way depends on the exchange. On Coinbase it went in that first minute, when BTC-USD traded at $73,400, below Sunday's $73,477. Binance's own Sunday low of $73,510 held for two more hours. It broke at 15:37 UTC, bitcoin was below $73,000 by 15:44, and the bottom came at 16:37 UTC: $72,727.27 on Binance and $72,643.48 on Coinbase. Both exchanges' daily candles show nothing lower since 20 August, when Binance's low was $68,902. TokenPost called it the lowest since September. The candles disagree: September never traded below $74,968.
The inflation report explains the first drop better than the second. By 16:55 UTC the 10-year Treasury yield was at 5.01%, up 15 basis points on the day. It closed at 4.988% in Reuters' data, while the 2-year rose 18 basis points to 4.73%, its biggest one-day jump since April 2025. Bitcoin's afternoon low came as US stocks gave back part of Monday's oil-led rally: at 17:01 UTC the S&P 500 was down 0.79% and the Nasdaq 1.19%. Both recovered some ground and closed 0.38% and 0.74% lower, at 7,520.93 and 25,065.88. Bitcoin.com also blamed worries about an AI bubble.
Rate expectations moved at the edges. Futures had put the chance of a quarter-point hike in December at 84% on Monday, and by Tuesday's close they priced it fully. The odds of a half-point move rose from close to zero before the release to about 15% within half an hour, Yahoo Finance reported, and eased to 11.8% at the close, Reuters reported from CME FedWatch. Fed Governor Christopher Waller had said in a speech in London on Tuesday morning, before the numbers, that a 50 basis point hike should be considered if core inflation came in around 0.3% or higher. Later in the day Dallas Fed President Lorie Logan said the Fed needs at least two more quarter-point hikes. The Fed held its range at 3.75% to 4% on 28 October in a 10 to 2 vote, with Lisa Cook and Beth Hammack dissenting in favour of a hike, and decides again on 9 December.
Forced selling added to the move. FXStreet, citing CoinGlass at 21:02 UTC, counted $716 million of futures liquidations over 24 hours, $589 million of it from long positions. An earlier Bitcoin.com count at 16:28 UTC put ether's liquidations at just under $240 million and bitcoin's at more than $169 million. From the low, bitcoin climbed back above $73,500 by 20:00 UTC, and at 22:30 UTC it was at $73,664, just above the Sunday low it had broken.
2. Ether, Solana and XRP hit their lowest prices since 19 August
Ether fell further than bitcoin. It dropped from $2,109 to $2,028 in the CPI minute and reached $2,006 on Binance at 15:44 UTC, with Coinbase's low at $2,003.24. Neither venue printed below $2,000. The last time ether traded lower was 19 August, when it touched $1,906. At 16:54 UTC ether was down 5.2% over 24 hours to bitcoin's 2.7%, close to double. By 22:30 UTC it had recovered to $2,051.
Solana bottomed at $81.34 and XRP at $1.0311, and for both it was the lowest price since 19 August, when they traded down to $76.63 and $0.9959. Coinbase's lows were within a few cents. At 22:30 UTC SOL was at $83.14, down 4.1% over 24 hours, and XRP at $1.0603, down 3.3%. Not every large holder is selling: BitMine said on Monday that it bought 9,587 ETH in the week to 8 November and now holds 6,070,092, of which 5,227,037 are staked.
3. Initia's chain is halted again, and INIT doubled before futures gave much of it back
Initia stopped its chain for the second time in three weeks. Block production halted at 06:18 UTC on Tuesday, in coordination with validators, and at 22:41 UTC its public RPC still showed the same last block. Initia's first estimate was about $615,000, which had left through Noble. A fuller account Initia posted on X at 16:43 UTC, as quoted by TechFlow, ChainCatcher and KuCoin News, puts the total sent to the attacker's address at about $3.27 million, of which about $2.16 million is still on the halted chain and can't move. After selling stolen tokens on Initia's own DEX, the attacker withdrew 597,000 USDC through Noble, 13,400 TIA and 8,000 USDC on Injective, and no INIT.
Initia says the way in was a leaked Google Cloud key used to configure private nodes. On 9 November the attacker used it for a command-injection attack that reached Initia's GitHub and Google Cloud accounts and Anvil, its rollup hosting platform, then forged IBC withdrawals for five rollups and emptied part of the L1 escrow account that holds their bridged assets. Initia will rebuild that infrastructure in an isolated environment and says the restart will take longer than a normal one. The outlets quoting the post say it plans to restore the affected assets in full; it has given no date for either. The first exploit, on 23 October, cost about $2.7 million and kept the chain down until 2 November.
The token did the opposite of what a hack usually does to a price. On Binance futures INIT climbed from about $0.138 at 17:00 UTC on Monday to about $0.21 by the time the chain stopped, most of it between 19:00 and 21:00 UTC on Monday. It kept going after the halt. In the 14:00 UTC hour on Tuesday the perpetual ran from $0.213 to $0.288, while spot touched $0.33193, and at 17:10 UTC INIT was up about 85% over 24 hours on futures and 93% on spot, with more than $1 billion of futures traded. Protos noted that some users suspect a deliberate pump. No source has shown why it rose.
Then the futures market turned. After a high of $0.30298 in the 18:00 UTC hour, the perpetual fell to $0.207 during the 20:00 UTC hour and $0.1856 in the 22:00 UTC hour, about 39% off the top. At 22:34 UTC the perpetual was at $0.1874, only 2% above its price 24 hours earlier, while INIT on Binance spot was at $0.2495, up 31% over the same 24 hours. The futures funding rate was -1.985% per hour, close to its -2% floor, so shorts were paying longs almost 2% every hour.
4. FinCEN's MEXC ban is published and starts on 10 December
FinCEN's order against MEXC now has a start date. It appeared in the Federal Register on Tuesday as document 2026-22962, at 91 FR 72420, and takes effect on 10 December with no end date. From then on, US banks and other covered financial institutions may not process any transfer of funds to or from MEXC Global, and the order counts convertible virtual currency as funds. It binds those institutions, not MEXC's customers, and the text gives no grace period beyond the 30 days until it takes effect. The order rests on section 9714(a) of the Combating Russian Money Laundering Act and is signed by FinCEN's deputy director, Jimmy L. Kirby.
FinCEN says MEXC handled $16.7 billion linked to Russian illicit finance and other illicit activity between May 2021 and May 2026. That includes $232 million in direct transactions with entities under US, EU or UK sanctions, about $129 million with Garantex and $4.1 million with Grinex, nearly $2 billion tied to Iranian actors or terrorist groups, and more than $37.9 million in suspected ransomware payments between January 2022 and July 2024. FinCEN's own announcement on 6 November said "at least $16 billion". Our 7 November roundup has the background.
Binance isn't waiting for the start date. A notice it posted at 08:30 UTC on Tuesday says it will refuse withdrawals to MEXC and 12 related entities, one of which, MEXC (Comoros) Ltd, isn't named in FinCEN's order, and will hold deposits coming from them for a compliance review. Accounts involved may be restricted or closed. OKX founder Star Xu told users on 7 November not to send funds straight from MEXC to OKX. By Tuesday evening Unchained had found no formal halt at Bybit, Bitget, Coinbase, Kraken, KuCoin or Gate, and MEXC's chief executive said on X on Monday that deposits, withdrawals and trading were working normally.
5. MARA sold 13,597 bitcoin and cleared its bitcoin-backed loans
MARA sold 13,597 bitcoin after the quarter ended, at about $81,039 each, for about $1.1 billion. It used $750 million of that to repay all of its bitcoin-backed term loans, which freed 17,477 pledged coins, according to the shareholder letter it filed at 16:05 ET on Monday. Third-quarter revenue fell 35% to $164.2 million. Net income was still $632.1 million, or $1.28 a share, thanks to an $885.3 million unrealized gain on its bitcoin. MARA mined 2,247 BTC in the quarter, sold 3,891 at an average of $75,300 and held 34,012 at 30 September. The board authorised a buyback of up to $500 million, and the company expects to keep selling bitcoin to pay for AI infrastructure, next year's convertible-note puts and any buybacks.
MARA doesn't give a holding after the sale. CryptoProwl's subtraction leaves about 20,415 BTC, though it ignores what MARA has mined since September. Lookonchain counts 14 listed companies that have sold 108,247 BTC this year, about $8.08 billion; MARA's share, 40,581 BTC, matches its own filings. The stock closed 10.5% higher at $7.34 on Tuesday while most crypto shares fell: Coinbase lost 2.9% to $132.13 and Strategy 3.6% to $121.07. No source has tied MARA's gain to the sale.
6. Strategy bought 1,036 bitcoin and spent more than twice as much on its own preferred stock
Strategy's weekly 8-K, filed at 08:00 ET on Monday, shows 1,036 BTC bought between 2 and 8 November for $81.9 million, at an average of $79,012. It now holds 850,364 BTC bought for $64.16 billion, or $75,456 per coin. In the same week it spent $188.3 million buying back 1,887,464 shares of its STRC preferred stock, 2.3 times the bitcoin outlay. The money came from selling 2,051,348 MSTR shares for $283.8 million, with $13.6 million left for its dollar cash. The week before looked the same: 811 BTC for $65.5 million against $208.2 million of STRC buybacks. Cointelegraph counts about $1.06 billion spent on STRC since October against $219.7 million on bitcoin. Another $560.3 million is left under the repurchase programme, and the USD reserve stands at $4.77 billion.
Bitcoin also closed below Strategy's $75,456 average on Binance on Sunday and Monday, so Tuesday's fall deepened a paper loss that was already there. At 22:30 UTC the coin was about 2.4% below that cost. Strive, a smaller buyer, said in its own 8-K that it added 29 BTC at about $75,721 each, for a total of 43,153.
7. Bitcoin ETFs had a third day of outflows, and stablecoin supply keeps shrinking
US spot bitcoin ETFs had $201.08 million of net outflows on Monday in SoSoValue's data. BlackRock's IBIT alone had $213.23 million of outflows, and Morgan Stanley's MSBT took in $22.06 million. For the group it was the third outflow day in a row, after an inflow on 4 November. IBIT on its own has had seven, about $1.66 billion since 30 October. Ether funds had $184.51 million of net outflows, led by ETHA at $119.28 million, while XRP funds had $10.42 million of outflows and Solana funds $7.68 million, the Solana figure provisional until 21Shares' TSOL reports. Ether ETFs had already had about $365 million of outflows in the week of 2 to 6 November, crypto.news reports.
Stablecoin supply keeps edging down. DefiLlama counted $292.0 billion of dollar-pegged stablecoins on Tuesday, against $293.0 billion a day earlier and a peak of $315.5 billion on 17 May. USDT was at $176.3 billion, down from $178.6 billion a week ago, and USDC at $70.1 billion from $71.3 billion. The daily change is small, about 0.3%, but the direction has been the same since May.
8. NYSE's tokenized stock venue will settle on Avalanche technology
Ava Labs said at 08:00 ET on Monday that Avalanche will be the core ledger for the clearing firm of NYSE's planned tokenized-securities venue, an alternative trading system that still needs regulatory approval. The venue is designed for trading, clearing and settlement around the clock, and stocks issued on several blockchains could trade on it. ICE first described the plan on 19 January, pairing NYSE's Pillar matching engine with blockchain post-trade systems. Dennis Lee, NYSE's head of digital issuance, said in the release that the exchange wanted control over who can take part and predictable costs. That suggests a permissioned network built with Avalanche technology, though the release doesn't spell it out. Ava Labs gave no financial terms, and the release names neither the clearing firm nor a launch date.
9. LNbits shipped version 1.7.0 and told everyone to upgrade now
LNbits published version 1.7.0 at 17:09 UTC on Tuesday under the title "URGENT SECURITY UPDATE", with a line telling all users to update immediately. It comes two days after LNbits asked operators to take their servers offline (see our 9 November roundup). The release bundles security fixes merged on Monday and Tuesday and switches new account creation off by default.
The upgrade guide the release links to went up later in the evening and was live at 22:36 UTC. It says the vulnerability was found on 8 November, that every version before 1.7.0 is affected and that funds on those versions are at risk of being stolen, and it promises a full exploit report later. Operators are told to reset wallet keys as Super Admin, replace their funding-source credentials, rotate secrets and recreate connections such as NWC, LNDHub and Bolt Card, and to reinstall on a new server if they suspect a break-in. The hosted my.lnbits.com service is still down: its backend answered with an error at 22:36 UTC. The only loss put in numbers so far is one operator's 2,285,545 sats, taken between 09:22 and 14:00 UTC on Sunday, as CoinInsider and Bitcoin Magazine report.
10. Coinbase, Kalshi, Kraken's parent and three more firms take the CFTC's side over stock perpetuals
Six firms asked the federal court in Manhattan on Monday for permission to file a brief supporting the CFTC: Coinbase, Kalshi, Kraken's parent Payward, DRW Holdings, Jump Trading and Paradigm Operations. The case, Capital Markets Alliance Association v. CFTC, was brought by a group whose members include Cboe, Citadel Securities and the Healthy Markets Association. It argues that perpetual futures on single stocks are security-based swaps, which belong to the SEC. The six reply that a security future doesn't need a fixed expiry date and that the SEC was involved from the start, both in the public consultation and in receiving the listing standards.
Judge Valerie Caproni refused a temporary restraining order on 3 November because she saw no imminent irreparable harm, although she found the alliance likely to win on the merits. The CFTC said the same day that the products could begin trading, and they still can. Caproni ruled only on the restraining order; the case has since gone to Judge Lorna G. Schofield, who will rule on the preliminary injunction. The alliance's reply was due on Tuesday, and the court hasn't yet said whether it will accept the six firms' brief.
Also on Monday and Tuesday
Across tells users to stay off its app
Across, a cross-chain bridge, said on X at 19:06 UTC on Tuesday that it was investigating a problem with its domain, and told users not to visit the app, connect a wallet or sign anything there until further notice. It hasn't said what happened or how much was lost, and it has asked affected users for their transaction hashes. Users on X reported losses, one of them 9,000 USDC. A figure of about $294,000 is circulating on X through the SolanaFloor account, but neither Across nor a security firm has confirmed it. When we checked at 22:40 UTC, across.to and app.across.to no longer resolved.
Big banks are said to be funding a joint stablecoin
Bloomberg reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter, that Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Santander, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Fidelity, MUFG and Standard Bank have committed about $270 million to cover five years of running costs for a joint stablecoin company called Project Faro, expected to be incorporated in the US. It would start with a dollar token, aiming for a commercial launch in the first half of 2027, and add other G7 currencies later, the euro first. None of the banks has announced it, and the ones that answered declined to comment or referred questions to the project.
PNC pilots USDC payments, and Visa adds Monad
PNC said on Monday that eligible corporate and institutional clients can now receive USDC on Ethereum through Coinbase's payment products. The coins are converted one for one into dollars and paid into a PNC deposit account, so the client never holds them. It's a limited pilot, with no client numbers, fees or rollout date. On Tuesday the Monad Foundation said Visa had added Monad to its stablecoin settlement programme, which lets card issuers and acquirers settle what they owe Visa in stablecoins. Visa's chief executive said on 27 October that the programme's annualised volume had passed $25 billion, ten times a year earlier.
Binance hack funds went through six new NEAR meme coins, Elliptic says
Elliptic found that whoever controls the stolen Binance funds created at least six tokens on NEAR between 5 and 7 November, at about 25 NEAR each, and pushed about 117,000 NEAR, roughly $430,000, through them with almost no outside trading. Its tracker, updated at 11:00 UTC on Tuesday, shows about 11,000 ETH ($24 million) sent to Tornado Cash since 8 November and about 3,350 BTC converted, across more than 20,000 wallets on 16 blockchains. About $3 billion still sits in addresses tied to the theft and $2.85 billion is frozen. Elliptic links the launderers to North Korea and puts the theft at $6.43 billion; Binance's own figure is $6.34 billion.
Arbitrum DAO votes on handing frozen funds back to Binance
Binance asked ArbitrumDAO on Monday to release 8,425.997 ETH and 74,559,805.2 ARB that the Security Council froze on 30 October. The Snapshot vote runs until 14:30 UTC on 16 November, and at 22:37 UTC on Tuesday 77.5 million ARB had voted in favour and 1,834 against, from 383 voters. This stage is a non-binding temperature check. A later on-chain vote would temporarily upgrade the Inbox contract on Ethereum to add a recovery function, the whole process takes about seven weeks, and the proposal won't go on-chain while any restraining notice or other legal process covers the frozen assets.
Swarm's bee-js and desktop app shipped wallet-stealing builds
For about 75 minutes early on Monday, version 13.3.0 of Swarm's bee-js library on npm carried malware. Swarm Desktop 0.56.2 went out through the auto-updater to Windows x64 and Apple Silicon machines from 00:43 UTC, and its tag was deleted at 09:04 UTC; Linux .deb and .rpm builds were published too. The code sends the node's config.yaml, which holds the password in plain text, and the encrypted key file to the attacker, then installs a remote-access backdoor. A maintainer blamed stolen CI credentials, while Socket says two GitHub accounts were compromised. Swarm Desktop 0.56.3 is clean, bee-js users should pin 13.2.0, and no losses have been confirmed.
Aave votes for native bitcoin collateral on V4
An Aave Snapshot vote on accepting native bitcoin as collateral on V4, through Babylon's bitcoin vaults, closed at 14:03 UTC on Monday with 356,881 AAVE in favour and none against, from 76 voters. The bitcoin stays on the Bitcoin chain and is represented on Ethereum by a token that can't be freely transferred. LlamaRisk suggests starting with a 78% collateral ratio and about $21 million of stablecoin borrowing capacity, and part of the revenue would go to Babylon. A binding on-chain vote still has to pass. On Tuesday evening LlamaRisk also proposed freezing rsETH, osETH, LBTC, tBTC, rETH and several smaller reserves on Aave V3 Core, as part of moving those assets to V4. They held $1.33 billion of collateral against $1.03 billion of debt on 9 November, and existing positions would be left alone at first.
Chainalysis restores Data Solutions
Chainalysis said at 3:00 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC) on Tuesday that Data Solutions is back online, after Reactor, KYT and Address Screening returned on 7 November. Its 4 November update said names, usernames, password hashes and live tokens for all users had been exposed, with no sign that investigation data was accessed. Customers have to reset passwords, rotate API keys and submit trusted IP addresses. Its status page, though, marks Data Solutions operational only from 13:17 UTC, about five hours after the 08:00 UTC announcement, while the Investigations API and Rapid Lookup are still under maintenance, and Chain (Beta), listed as offline on 4 November, hasn't been reported restored. Chainalysis has said the breach is unrelated to the Binance theft.
BitGo's profit nearly doubled on its treasury while revenue halved
BitGo reported third-quarter revenue of $2.85 billion on Monday, down 50.9% from a year earlier, mostly because digital asset sales fell 52%. Net income nearly doubled to $44.1 million, helped by a $71.5 million unrealized gain on its digital assets treasury, which held 2,399 BTC. The business underneath it weakened: adjusted EBITDA was a $4.3 million loss against a $13.5 million profit a year earlier, and revenue after direct costs fell 32.1%. Assets on the platform slipped to $59.9 billion from $65.2 billion at the end of June. The shares closed 16.3% lower on Tuesday at $4.27. MarketBeat reports that Rosenblatt cut its price target to $9 and kept a Buy rating.
eToro's profit fell 74%
eToro said on Tuesday that third-quarter net income fell 74% to $15.0 million and that net contribution, its main revenue measure, dropped 13% to $186 million, mainly because customers traded less crypto. In October crypto trades fell 62% from a year earlier to 2.0 million, and the average crypto trade shrank 29% to $228. Funded accounts rose 18% to 4.39 million. Third-quarter crypto revenue of $1.35 billion sounds large, but $1.29 billion of crypto cost of revenue almost cancels it. eToro announced a buyback of up to $250 million, and its shares closed 7.6% lower at $21.56.
Trump Media's paper profit, three weeks before a note deadline
Trump Media reported third-quarter net income of $409.7 million on Monday, carried by $496.1 million of non-cash gains on digital assets, pledged digital assets and equity securities. Revenue was $3.0 million. Its 10-Q shows 15,649 BTC at 30 September: 11,385 pledged for an options strategy, and nearly all the rest, about 4,261 BTC, securing its convertible notes. Holders of those notes can require Trump Media to buy them back for cash on 30 November, which could mean up to about $1.0 billion. The 10-Q lists refinancing, issuing shares and selling bitcoin as options. The earnings-call transcript, filed with the SEC on Tuesday evening, is narrower: management said it can't know the amount until holders decide near the end of the month, that it plans to pay with a mix of cash and credit, and that it is "not inclined" to issue new equity. Its shares closed 5.4% higher on Tuesday at $4.28.
Miners report: Bitdeer kept 47 bitcoin
Bitdeer had record revenue of $320.7 million and a net loss of $125.5 million, and held 47 BTC on 30 September, not counting customer deposits, after mining 3,855 in the quarter. Its balance sheet still carries about $387 million of digital assets and digital-asset receivables. HIVE, which reported on Monday, mined 1,070 BTC and lost $78.7 million. Canaan went the other way on holdings: revenue fell 90% to $14.5 million, yet it kept about 1,875 BTC.
JCT halves again while ONE and ARIA climb
Janction's JCT perpetual was down 53% over 24 hours at $0.00525 on Binance at 22:34 UTC, on $597 million of volume, after Sunday's sevenfold surge and Monday's slide (9 November roundup). Tokenomics.com lists an unlock of about 1.18 billion JCT, 2.4% of supply, which ChainCatcher, citing RootData, times at 16:00 UTC on Monday. JCT, which had recovered from Monday morning's low, kept rising for hours after it, and the selling started around 01:00 UTC on Tuesday. Akedo's AKE and Orochi Network's ON both lost about 40% on futures, and Particle Network's PARTI 23%, and we found no stated reason for any of them. Harmony's ONE gained 25%; Harmony has moved ONE to an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and shuts its old explorer on 18 November. ARIA rose 22%.
Dates to watch
- Wednesday 11 November: about 160 million ALLO tokens are expected to unlock, a date Cryptoticker inferred from the start of trading a year ago; nobody has announced it. MSCI is due to publish the results of its November index review.
- Thursday 12 November: Gemini reports after the US close.
- By Friday 13 November: the end-of-week target Binance set on 6 November for INJ, PLASMA, NEAR and LTC withdrawals (see our 9 November roundup); we found no update on Tuesday.
- Monday 16 November, 14:30 UTC: the Arbitrum Snapshot vote on Binance's frozen funds closes.
- 30 November: Trump Media noteholders can ask for cash repayment, up to about $1.0 billion.
- 9 December: the Fed's next rate decision.
- 10 December: FinCEN's MEXC order takes effect.
How this roundup was put together
Prices and volumes are Binance spot readings from its public API at 22:30 UTC on Tuesday 10 November; a paragraph that uses another time or market names it. For each "lowest since" we went through Binance's and Coinbase's daily candles back to August. The CPI numbers are the BLS's, the MEXC order is quoted as printed in the Federal Register, and company figures are from SEC filings. The $716 million liquidation total is FXStreet's reading of CoinGlass at 21:02 UTC, and the ether and bitcoin split is Bitcoin.com's 16:28 UTC count; the two counts cover different windows, so the split is not a share of the $716 million. A figure from a single outlet carries that outlet's name.
Whether bitcoin holds above Sunday's $73,510 low overnight will show on the live crypto prices board, which carries the bitcoin price today. Ether fell further than bitcoin on Tuesday, and the crypto market today page tracks bitcoin's share of the whole market. INIT's futures turnover passed $1 billion over 24 hours by 17:10 UTC, a burst of the kind the crypto volume spike scanner flags, and the crypto screener, our crypto volume tracker with real time crypto prices, can sort every pair by turnover. A big day like ONE's lands on the crypto gainers today list. Large DEX swaps on Solana, BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum land in our crypto whale tracker, so the Initia attacker's sales on Initia's own DEX would not show there. To see what one coin would be worth at another's market cap, try the crypto market cap comparison tool. We also keep a list of channels for crypto trading signals on Telegram. Like every crypto news today roundup, this is news and market data, not financial advice.
