Crypto news today, 11 November 2026: bitcoin holds a $971 range on Binance as chip stocks rally, and Initia's chain is still down

Crypto Eyes · 11 November 2026 · 25 min read · Markets

Line chart of bitcoin's 15-minute closes on Binance from 12:00 UTC on 10 November to 14:30 UTC on 11 November 2026: after Tuesday's low of $72,727 at 16:37 UTC, it stayed between $73,209 and $74,180 from 22:40 UTC onward

Bitcoin barely moved on Wednesday, and that was the odd part of the day. From 22:40 UTC on Tuesday, when our last roundup closed, until 14:36 UTC it stayed inside a band of $971 on Binance, between $73,209 and $74,180. Chip stocks, meanwhile, rallied on CoreWeave's results, and the rally reached as far as a leveraged chip-stock contract on Binance's own futures board. The busier stories sat elsewhere. Initia's chain was still halted more than 32 hours after it stopped, and Zcash dropped to a price last seen on 4 September. Politico reported that the CFTC has warned Kalshi it may face charges. OKX and ICE set 23 November for their tokenized stock venue. And the ALLO unlock that our Tuesday edition listed for today did not happen: Allora has pushed it to May 2027.

1. Bitcoin price today: a band of less than $1,000 while chip stocks ran

Wednesday's low for bitcoin came early. BTCUSDT on Binance touched $73,209.12 at 02:30 UTC, and the high, $74,179.64, followed at 08:14 UTC. Measured from 22:40 UTC on Tuesday, that is a range of $970.52. Coinbase's BTC-USD book stayed between $73,110 and $74,087 over the same hours. Tuesday's low of $72,727 at 16:37 UTC, the lowest intraday price since 20 August, was not tested again. At 14:36 UTC bitcoin traded at $73,446, down 1.1% on the previous 24 hours.

Ether's range was $2,042.77 to $2,073.41, and it stayed well above Tuesday's $2,006 low. It was at $2,048.15 at 14:36 UTC, 1.8% lower than 24 hours earlier but only about 0.2% below Wednesday's opening price. Solana's SOL traded at $84.08 and XRP at $1.0546. CoinGecko valued the whole market at $2.474 trillion at 14:32 UTC, down 2.95% against 24 hours earlier (a window that still takes in Tuesday afternoon's drop), with bitcoin at 59.7% of the total. Alternative.me's Fear & Greed Index read 29, three points lower than on Tuesday.

ChainCatcher's post at 13:31 UTC put CoinGlass's 24-hour liquidation count at $717 million, of which $552 million was longs. Ether longs accounted for $183 million of that and bitcoin longs for $168 million.

Shares did the moving. Investing.com reported that CoreWeave beat estimates and raised its full-year forecast after Tuesday's US close, and that the stock surged nearly 13% overnight; Saxo put the company's revenue growth at 168%. Chipmakers led Asia on Wednesday. By Investing.com's intraday figures the Nikkei rose 1.4% and the Kospi 2.6%, while the Hang Seng fell 1.2%. Reuters, quoted by Investing.com, had the STOXX 600 at 660.06 at 10:25 GMT, close to its August record, and Nasdaq 100 futures up 1.8%. In the first minutes of US trading, Yahoo Finance's data had the S&P 500 0.8% above Tuesday's close at 14:37 UTC and the Nasdaq Composite 1.4% higher. The Philadelphia semiconductor index was up 3.8%, and CoreWeave was 11.7% higher at $54.45.

The same rally showed up on Binance's futures board. Over the 24 hours to 14:36 UTC the third most traded contract there, behind bitcoin's $10.93 billion and ether's $7.35 billion, was SOXLUSDT, a perpetual that tracks Direxion's triple-leveraged semiconductor ETF. It turned over $5.69 billion and was 16.6% higher. FXStreet's European wrap at 13:09 GMT said bitcoin had so far struggled to take part in the rebound in equities.

Wednesday is Veterans Day in the US. Stock exchanges are open, but Saxo says the bond market is closed, and the Federal Reserve's calendar has no events for the day; the Fed has moved Wednesday's statistical releases to Thursday. Governor Michael Barr speaks on Thursday at 10:00 ET. On Friday Michelle Bowman joins a discussion at 10:50 ET and Philip Jefferson speaks at 19:00 ET.

2. Money left the bitcoin ETFs for a fourth day, at half Monday's pace

Tuesday's net outflow from US spot bitcoin ETFs came to $95.0 million by SoSoValue's count (published by TokenPost), less than half of Monday's $201.08 million. Outflows have now run for four trading days. BlackRock's IBIT had $78.24 million of outflows and Fidelity's FBTC $36.79 million. A single fund of the 12 took money in, $20.03 million. SoSoValue and the tracker Trader T put that inflow in Morgan Stanley's MSBT, while Farside's table, as reported by Coin-Turk, credits Hashdex's DEFI instead; the net total is the same in all three. SoSoValue puts the funds' net assets at $92.82 billion and their net inflows since launch at $55.40 billion.

Ether funds came close to flat on the day of the hot CPI report, with net outflows of $1.32 million after $184.51 million on Monday. BlackRock's ETHB took in $1.05 million while $1.96 million left Grayscale's ETH mini trust and $0.41 million left 21Shares' TETH. Solana funds had $10.56 million of outflows, a figure published before 21Shares' TSOL had reported, and XRP funds $7.62 million, the second outflow day in a row for both groups. Grayscale's Zcash fund, ZCSH, had no flows at all.

DefiLlama's count of dollar stablecoins stood at $291.10 billion for 11 November when we read it at 14:52 UTC, about $910 million less than its 10 November figure and $24.44 billion under the 17 May peak of $315.54 billion. Tether's USDT made up $175.74 billion of that, about $2.4 billion less than a week before, and Circle's USDC $70.14 billion.

3. Initia is still halted, and INIT has given back its overnight jump

Initia had not restarted by Wednesday afternoon. Initia's own public RPC and REST endpoints answered with HTTP 502 errors at 13:52 UTC, and at 14:52 UTC Polkachu's public RPC node still showed block 23,680,323, produced at 06:18:40 UTC on Tuesday, as the latest. CoinCentral, writing at 07:23 UTC, said Initia had given no date for restarting block production. Nothing we have seen from Initia since Tuesday's statements sets out a post-mortem or a reimbursement plan. The figures Initia gave, as reported by Cointelegraph, have not changed: about $3.27 million taken, of which about $2.16 million is still frozen on the halted chain. Cointelegraph's Wednesday report also says Initia intends to restore the backing of affected assets, which it had already said on Tuesday, and that it is working with law enforcement.

INIT had another violent night. On Binance spot it climbed from about $0.234 at 02:00 UTC to $0.395 in the 05:00 UTC hour. The perpetual future rose far less and peaked at $0.29962 at 05:10 UTC. Both then slid for the rest of the day, with one up hour at 08:00 UTC, and the perpetual reached $0.15555 in the 14:00 UTC hour, its lowest price since the 19:00 UTC hour on Monday. At 14:36 UTC spot traded at $0.16148, down 45.8% over 24 hours, and the perpetual at $0.1583, after $1.33 billion of futures turnover in a day.

Spot and futures came back into line. The spot premium over futures, 33% at 22:34 UTC on Tuesday ($0.2495 against $0.1874), had shrunk to about 2% by 14:36 UTC. And the hourly funding rate, pinned at the -2% floor at Tuesday's 22:00 UTC settlement, was -0.21% at the 13:00 and 14:00 UTC settlements on Wednesday. Short sellers still pay longs every hour, but about a tenth as much. Upbit keeps INIT under an investment warning and said in October that it would decide on trading support between 23 and 27 November. Bithumb has marked it a trading-caution asset.

4. Zcash fell below $1,000, its lowest since 4 September

Zcash's slide carried on into Wednesday. ZEC's perpetual on Binance had dropped from $1,199.91 in the 15:00 UTC hour on Tuesday to $993.02 an hour later. On Wednesday it went through that low in the 06:00 UTC hour and reached $960.56 in the 09:00 UTC hour, and spot touched $961.07. Binance's daily spot candles show no lower price since 4 September, when ZEC traded at $933.12. At 14:36 UTC spot was at $980.79, down 17.4% over 24 hours and about 42% below the 26 September peak of $1,698.

Most of the trading happened in futures. $3.11 billion of ZEC perpetuals changed hands in 24 hours, more than any other coin on Binance futures apart from bitcoin and ether, against $266 million on spot. Open interest fell from $518.9 million at 12:00 UTC on Tuesday to $479.0 million at 13:00 UTC on Wednesday, but only because the price fell: counted in coins it rose from about 451,000 ZEC to about 489,000, so more positions were open after the drop, not fewer. CoinGecko ranked Zcash 11th by market value, at $16.84 billion, at 13:51 UTC.

In a Zcash forecast published at 03:54 GMT, FXStreet said ZEC had lost more than 20% in five days and that the hot US inflation data had offset Grayscale's marketing campaign for Zcash. That is FXStreet's reading of the move. Grayscale's Zcash fund took in nothing on Tuesday.

5. Politico reports the CFTC has warned Kalshi it may face charges

Politico reported late on Tuesday, citing a person with direct knowledge, that the CFTC has privately warned Kalshi it may soon face charges. The warning follows a months-long investigation into whether Kalshi properly notified the agency about dozens of new contracts before listing them, and Reuters later reported the same from an unnamed source, according to Unchained. The process at issue is self-certification, which lets an exchange list a contract by attesting that it meets CFTC rules, without waiting for express approval. On 24 July the CFTC's market oversight division warned exchanges against broad certifications that bundle many contracts.

Kalshi did not deny the warning. Its spokesperson Elisabeth Diana called it a procedural error in submitting a handful of contracts, many of which never went live, and said the company is already fixing it, Unchained reports. No charges have been filed, and the CFTC did not comment. Kalshi raised $1 billion at a $40 billion valuation in October, according to crypto.news. On Tuesday, the day Politico's report ran, a federal judge in New York ruled against Novig, another prediction market (see the items we missed below).

6. OKX and ICE's tokenized stock venue opens on 23 November

OKXICE, the joint venture of OKX and NYSE owner Intercontinental Exchange, said on Wednesday that its Tokenized Securities Venue opens for trading on 23 November, at 9 a.m. ET according to Unchained. More than 70 assets are confirmed, among them securities from Better.com, BitGo, Circle, Coinbase, Robinhood, Securitize and Strategy, which is listing its preferred stocks. Direxion is adding 59 ETFs. A representative told Unchained that not every asset may trade on the first day.

Securitize provides the tokenization, and each token is a security entitlement backed one for one by a US share. Trading runs through Uniswap v4 pools on OKX's X Layer network, where smart contracts admit only eligible wallets and customers keep their own keys. At launch only eligible US customers of OKX Inc. who have passed identity checks and switched on a CeDeFi Wallet can trade, around the clock, inside the OKX app. OKX's page says the venue is not a registered exchange or broker-dealer and is not approved by the SEC.

The venue will run under the SEC's order of 17 September granting temporary, conditional exemptive relief to tokenized stock venues for five years, informally called the innovation exemption. Under that order an issuer has 30 days after notice to object to a third party tokenizing its shares. Unchained reports that a notice dated 5 November lists 67 issuers that objected, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Meta and Goldman Sachs among them. On Tuesday we covered NYSE's own tokenized venue, which will settle on Avalanche technology.

7. Kraken's parent tokenized more than 200 UK and EU shares, and the whole DAX on 360X

Payward, the company behind Kraken, said on Wednesday that its xStocks range has added a first wave of more than 200 of the most actively traded UK- and EU-listed companies. Each token is backed one for one by a share held at a regulated custodian and is issued by Backed Assets (JE) Limited in Jersey, with GTN handling execution and custody of the underlying shares. Payward says the wave delivers on its plan to tokenize the top 100 London-listed equities, and crypto.news describes it as covering the FTSE 100 and the DAX 40.

A second release says all 40 DAX members, SAPx and SIEx among them, and Xetra-Gold are available straight away on 360X, the Deutsche Börse company that runs under the EU's DLT pilot regime. On Kraken in the European Economic Area the tokens trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. They are not offered in the US or to US persons, and UK investors still cannot buy them. Hundreds of Hong Kong-listed shares are due in the coming weeks.

The London Stock Exchange intends to list xStocks and start trading them on LSE 24 in 2027, subject to regulatory approval, the release says. The two releases do not agree on the size of the product. One gives more than 1,500 assets, over $1.1 billion under management and over 550,000 holders; the other says over 1,300 xStocks, over $1 billion and over 500,000 holders. Both put cumulative trading volume at over $45 billion.

8. Deutsche Bank's crypto custody is live

Deutsche Bank says its custody service for digital assets is now live for paying clients, Reuters reported from Frankfurt at 08:04 UTC. When the bank announced the service on 16 September, it named bitcoin, ether and three stablecoins (USDC, EURC and EURAU) as the first assets and institutional and corporate clients in Europe as the first customers, with the bank holding the wallets and private keys itself. It has not named those clients or published fees, crypto.news reports.

The bank also signed a memorandum of understanding with Deutsche Asset Management, the fund manager it mostly owns and which used to be called DWS, to look at commercial and technical cooperation in digital assets. The memorandum names no product and no date. Paul Maley, global head of trust and securities services, told Reuters the medium-term aim is a fully integrated, regulated set of services. The bank wants to take custody to Asia. crypto.news says that is planned for 2027; Stablecoin Insider says no timeline has been given.

ESMA's interim MiCA register lists a notification from Deutsche Bank AG dated 12 October covering custody and transfer. It is an Article 60 notification, the route open to banks that already hold a licence, and not a separate crypto-asset service provider authorisation.

9. Across has its domain back and says victims will be made whole

Across said early on Wednesday that it had regained control of across.to and that all systems were running normally. It promised that every affected user would be made whole and said a full post-mortem would follow in the coming days. By its account, an attacker took the domain at about 18:45 UTC on Tuesday through social engineering against its registrar, Namecheap, and pointed visitors to a phishing copy of the site. Across says it was alerted within 15 minutes; SEAL911 got wallets to flag the domain and Cloudflare removed its DNS records. Our Tuesday roundup said Across had not explained the attack. An Across post on X timestamped 22:13 UTC on Tuesday, shortly before we closed, appears to give the same account, so that line was probably out of date when it ran.

Across has not published a loss figure or a victim count. It says API users and third-party integrations were not affected, and Cryptoticker reports it also said its smart contracts were untouched. Most of the losses came from people who signed token approvals or permits on the fake page; crypto.news says some may have sent funds directly. Two outside counts exist, and they cover different chains. GoPlus estimates just under $350,000 across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain, Ink and Plasma. Bitquery counts about $348,000 from nine wallets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Chain and Optimism, about $305,000 of it from one Aave depositor whose aWETH was drained on Ethereum in four pulls starting at 20:09 UTC.

Bitquery also accounts for the $294,000 figure that circulated on X on Tuesday. It matches the balance of the drainer kit's fee wallet, which takes 20% of each theft, and at least $167,000 of that balance was there before 18:45 UTC, from earlier thefts. Bitquery traced about $100,000 bridged to Hyperliquid, about $100,000 sent through Chainflip to Solana and about $96,000 routed through THORChain to a bitcoin address; those amounts add up to more than the attacker's share of the $348,000, so they are not a breakdown of it. Anyone who signed an approval on across.to after 18:45 UTC on Tuesday should revoke it, although revoking only stops further pulls and does not return what was already taken. Across moved about $5.9 billion over the past 30 days, third among bridges, according to DefiLlama data cited by Cointelegraph.

10. South Korea's two main parties back moving the crypto tax to 2029

South Korea's ruling Democratic Party and the opposition People Power Party have tentatively agreed to move the start of the tax on crypto gains from 2027 to 2029. Democratic lawmaker Oh Gi-hyoung told reporters on Wednesday that a subcommittee of the National Assembly's finance and economy committee had reached consensus after discussing procedural matters on the government's plan, Yonhap reported. The government had asked for the two-year delay. The bill has not been voted on, and Yonhap says it could be approved.

CoinGeek, which counts this as the tax's fourth postponement since its original 2022 start date, gives the planned rate as 22% (20% national and 2% local) on yearly crypto income above 2.5 million won.

Also on Wednesday, Son Sun-young, foreign-exchange analysis director at the Ministry of Economy and Finance, told a seminar in Seoul that rules for using stablecoins in cross-border payments would go into the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act, and that the Digital Asset Framework Act, still before the National Assembly, will likely need to pass first, bloomingbit reported. Separately, TokenPost reports that the Financial Supervisory Service said stablecoins used for electronic payments should fall under the Electronic Financial Transactions Act.

Also on Wednesday

The ALLO unlock we listed for today did not happen

Our Tuesday roundup listed about 160 million ALLO as due to unlock on Wednesday. Allora instead extended the lockup on its team and investor tokens by six months, in a blog post dated 10 November that it announced on X at 01:11 UTC on Wednesday. The change covers 485.5 million ALLO, or 48.55% of total supply: 17.50% for core contributors and 31.05% for backers. Under the old schedule a third of those allocations would have unlocked on 11 November. Now nothing unlocks before 11 May 2027, when half, about 242.75 million ALLO, is released, and the rest vests over 18 months to November 2028 as before. Allora gave no reason. On Binance spot about $270,000 of ALLO traded in the 01:00 UTC hour, roughly ten times the hours either side, and the price then fell to its 24-hour low of $0.1386 in the 06:00 UTC hour. It was at $0.148 at 14:36 UTC, up 0.1% over 24 hours.

Gram, the renamed Toncoin, led the top 100

At 12:27 UTC Telegram founder Pavel Durov posted on his channel that more than 1 million self-custodial Gram wallets had been activated in 48 hours, and that Gram was the top gainer among the 100 largest coins, up 14% over 24 hours. Durov has said a wallet counts as activated once it receives Grams, so the number says nothing about how many people keep using one. GRAM's perpetual on Binance rose from $1.183 to $1.243 during the 12:00 UTC hour and reached $1.256 in the 13:00 UTC hour; nothing shows the post caused that. At 14:36 UTC it was at $1.208, up 10.1% over 24 hours. Gram is the native coin of The Open Network and was renamed from Toncoin in June after a vote that 81.22% backed, according to U.Today.

AGT more than doubled, and PIEVERSE, ON and H kept falling

Alaya AI's AGT sat near $0.024 on Binance futures until the 08:05 UTC candle, then ran to $0.06531 by 12:02 UTC. At 14:36 UTC it was at $0.05724, up 130% over 24 hours on $328 million of turnover. Open interest had more than tripled since Tuesday at noon, to $30.6 million at 13:00 UTC, before easing to $21.2 million an hour later. KuCoin News names no catalyst; it mentions as background Alaya's Redemption Season 17, which lets users swap AIA points for AGT and can add to supply, and notes that AGT traded above $0.10 in October. ARIA, an AI gaming token, peaked at $0.32384 at 10:20 UTC and was up 32.8% over 24 hours at 14:36 UTC. PIEVERSE dropped as low as $1.6601 and was down 20% over 24 hours, most of that before 22:40 UTC on Tuesday. CryptoTicker, using CoinMarketCap data, lists about 86.4 million PIEVERSE to unlock at 00:00 UTC on Saturday, a schedule Pieverse has not confirmed. Orochi Network's ON was down another 22% over 24 hours after Tuesday's fall of about 40%, and Humanity Protocol's H was down 23%, about half of it before 22:40 UTC on Tuesday. We saw no comment on the falls from Pieverse, Orochi or Humanity Protocol.

Arbitrum's vote on Binance's frozen funds tops 100 million ARB in favour

Support kept arriving for Binance's request that ArbitrumDAO release the 8,425.997 ETH and 74,559,805.2 ARB that Arbitrum's Security Council froze on 30 October. At 13:44 UTC the Snapshot vote showed 101,753,319 ARB for, 2,025 against and 658 abstaining, from 558 voters, up from 77.5 million for and 383 voters when we looked at 22:37 UTC on Tuesday. It is a non-binding temperature check with no quorum and closes at 14:30 UTC on 16 November; an on-chain vote would still be needed. Binance had posted no new recovery notice by about 13:50 UTC.

The FSB wants Türkiye to write stablecoin rules

The Financial Stability Board published its second peer review of Türkiye on Wednesday. It finds meaningful progress since the FSB's 2025 thematic review, with much of the market now inside the regulatory perimeter, and makes four recommendations: a framework for monitoring financial-stability risks, a dedicated stablecoin regime, stronger supervision and enforcement, and better cross-border cooperation and information sharing.

From Monday and Tuesday: items our last roundup missed

BitMine lost $6.31 billion in its fiscal year

BitMine Immersion filed its annual report for the year to 31 August at 17:23 ET on Tuesday, 17 minutes before our last roundup closed. It lost $6,313.4 million, against a $348.6 million profit a year earlier, mostly through a $6,229.1 million unrealized markdown on its crypto and a $143.7 million net loss on ether-linked derivatives, partly offset by a gain on warrants and a tax benefit. Revenue rose to $124.8 million from $6.1 million, and $121.4 million of it came from staking and validation. At year-end it held 5,901,837 ETH worth $14,558.9 million against a cost of $19.95 billion, plus 211 BTC and $545.1 million in cash. For the second year running, management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was not effective; KPMG replaced Bush & Associates as auditor on 27 April. In the year BitMine sold 395,136,273 shares through at-the-market programmes for about $13.2 billion gross, and $3,646.2 million is left under its $4 billion buyback plan. Its latest holdings update, as of 8 November, put the ether stack at 6,070,092 ETH.

SEC enforcement actions fell 24%

The SEC's results for the fiscal year to 30 September, posted at 16:15 UTC on Tuesday, show 348 enforcement actions: 235 standalone cases and 113 follow-on administrative proceedings. crypto.news and Cointelegraph put the previous year's total at 456, which makes the fall 24%. Monetary relief ordered came to $1.095 billion, $343 million of it civil penalties, and about $731 million went back to more than 250,000 harmed investors. The crypto cases the release mentions, among them CryptoFX and a bitcoin-mining scheme, are fraud cases.

A New York judge called Novig's sports contracts betting

Judge Colleen McMahon of the Southern District of New York on Tuesday denied Ludlow Exchange, which runs the Novig prediction market, a preliminary injunction against New York's gambling enforcement. She held that its sports event contracts are not swaps under the Commodity Exchange Act and called them sports betting, which leaves New York free to require a state gambling licence or bar them. The CFTC designated Ludlow a contract market in June.

The SEC sided with the CFTC on stock perpetuals

The SEC has filed a brief supporting the CFTC's approval of perpetual futures on single US stocks, Law360 reported at 04:22 UTC, in the case Capital Markets Alliance Association v. CFTC; PM Pulse reported that the SEC asked to file it on Monday. On the alliance's side, Better Markets filed a friend-of-the-court brief on Tuesday, joined by former acting SEC chair Allison Herren Lee and former SEC general counsel John Coates, arguing that the products are security-based swaps. We could not confirm any ruling on the alliance's request for an injunction.

How this roundup was put together

This edition of our crypto news today roundup starts at 22:40 UTC on Tuesday, where the last one stopped, and runs to 14:36 UTC on Wednesday, the span the bitcoin and ether ranges in section 1 are measured over. We pulled them, with every other Binance price and turnover figure here, from the exchange's public API, and checked bitcoin's range against Coinbase's five-minute candles. Any change quoted over 24 hours reaches back into Tuesday afternoon. ETF flows are SoSoValue's as TokenPost published them, with Farside's and Trader T's readings noted where they split. BitMine's numbers are from its 10-K and its 9 November holdings update. Three lines in Tuesday's edition were wrong or are now out of date: the ALLO unlock, which did not happen; our statement that Across had not explained its attack, which its 22:13 UTC post on X probably already had; and our description of the INJ, PLASMA, NEAR and LTC withdrawal target as Binance's own, which we can now source only to crypto.news.

At 15:17 UTC the crypto volume spike scanner had 30 pairs trading at least three times their usual 15-minute volume, led by Apro's AT at 80.7 times. INIT was not among them, but it headed the same page's highest-turnover list, which sets 24-hour volume against market cap. ARIA, up 32.8% over 24 hours, led the crypto gainers today list at that time; AGT, which has no Binance spot market, is not on it. Sorted by volume, the crypto screener works as a crypto volume tracker, with 1, 5 and 15-minute moves for INIT, ZEC and every other Binance USDT pair. Humanity's H, down 23% in the movers item above, was the biggest fall among coins worth more than $50 million on the crypto market today page. At 14:36 UTC bitcoin was at $73,446, 1.1% lower than 24 hours earlier; the live crypto prices board keeps the bitcoin price today up to date next to real time crypto prices for SOL, XRP and the rest. SOL was at $84.08 at 14:36 UTC, down 0.6% over 24 hours, and the crypto whale tracker lists DEX swaps on Solana, BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum, each with its wallet and transaction. Ether was at $2,048 at 14:36 UTC; the crypto market cap comparison tool put the price it would need to match bitcoin's market cap at a little over $12,100 when we looked. Durov gave the Gram wallet count on his own Telegram channel. Our list of crypto trading signals Telegram channels sticks to feeds run by exchanges, analytics firms and news desks, and marks each real account as official, because lookalikes copy the big names. None of this is financial advice.
