This past week, November 10–16, 2025, served as a stark reminder of crypto's inherent volatility. The crypto markets can erase gains overnight. However, key foundational progress usually accelerates in chaos which you’ll soon see.
Bitcoin plunged over 11%, closing the week below its 2024 year-end level and wiping out most 2025 gains to date. Despite the fear, with the Crypto Fear & Greed Index dipping to 17, institutional buying continued.
Altcoins also saw more liquidations ($1.1B+ total). Stablecoins continued to provide investors a steady return and also the ability to buy crypto at lower prices.
Bitcoin dropped from $105,997 (Nov 10 close) to $93,714 (Nov 17 close). This was fueled by slim Fed rate-cut odds (now ~40% for December, down from 90% earlier in the month) after Jerome Powell’s shift.
In spite of the market decline and fear spreading among retail investors, "smart money" like Strategy (ex-MicroStrategy) scooped up more Bitcoin.
Political & Regulatory Highlights
U.S. lawmakers advanced crypto-specific policies during the market turmoil. These developments could provide the clarity needed to stabilize liquidity and attract more institutional flows.
Senate Advances Crypto Market Structure Bill - On November 11, the Senate Agriculture Committee released a long-awaited draft of its crypto market structure legislation, aiming to clear up oversight between the CFTC (for non-security digital assets) and the SEC. This bipartisan push addresses key pain points like stablecoin regulation and exchange compliance, potentially unlocking trillions in sidelined capital.
SEC's "Project Crypto" Update - On November 17, SEC Chairman Atkins outlined Phase 2 of digital asset oversight, emphasizing "innovation-friendly" enforcement while targeting fraud in DeFi and NFTs. This includes streamlined registration for compliant platforms and clearer guidance on token classifications.
State-Level Win for Stablecoins - Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen signed off on the first U.S. digital asset bank charter under the Financial Innovation Act, clearing the way for Telcoin to launch a fully regulated stablecoin (eUSD) backed by bank deposits. This 20-month regulatory marathon positions Telcoin as a pioneer in compliant crypto banking. There’s more on Telcoin later on.

What Market Experts Are Saying – Zoom Out
Analysts noted technical breakdowns but eyed support levels for a rebound, as macro headwinds dominated headlines.
Jelle @CryptoJelleNL warned that Binance whales had placed large buy orders between the $88,500 and $92,000 levels.
BitBull Capital said institutions absorbed ~$500M in BTC dips near $93K; this was viewed as a "coordinated accumulation" phase due to Fed uncertainty.
Bitcoin Dominance Snapshot
Bitcoin Dominance chart from CoinMarketCap
BTC was seen as a safe haven during the market turmoil last week. Altcoins saw minimal gains.
Top Weekly Gain and Losers
Audiera (BEAT) - Audiera's $BEAT token delivered a strong week, surging +150.3% after its explosive listing and AI-gaming news
Surge (SURGE) - the AI-focused token on Solana, Surge had a +133% weekly gain; the rally was ignited by the project's official Discord launch on Nov 14, drawing developers and investors to its AI-centric ecosystem for building and collaboration
Telcoin (TEL) - the Nebraska charter approval for the first U.S. regulated digital asset bank boosted this crypto 150%; BEAT enables eUSD stablecoin issuance, boosting remittances/utility narrative
Top Crypto Losers
DeAgent AI (AIA) - After a strong pump, investors took profit as the crypto dropped 74%
Saros (SAROS) - the steep decline of 61% driven by a combination of high initial launch volatility, liquidity pressures, and the market-wide flight from speculative small-cap altcoins
Ai16z (AI16Z) - the AI-related token dropped sharply 49% along with the AI crypto market
Of note, meme coins (e.g., PEPE, DOGE) averaged -25%, underperforming utility token plays like TEL by 3x.
Key Takeaways & Forward Look
This week's purge liquidated $1.1B+ in leverage, resetting the board for Q4. Panic = Opportunity. Strategy's $835.6M BTC buy (8,178 coins @ $102,171 avg) at cycle lows screams strong belief as the company holds 649,870 BTC.
With BTC eyeing $95K support, focus on rotation. Altcoins with regulatory tailwinds (e.g., TEL's banking pivot) will lead the rebound. Make sure you do your research as well.
Avoid the crypto hype like recent AI pumps and focus on utility (stablecoins, DeFi infra). BTC could test $88K–$92K if the Fed cut fades further.
