📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Wednesday:

Deutsche Bank launches custody, OKXICE sets a tokenized-stock launch date, Kraken expands xStocks, Bitcoin holds near $74K, Bottomline processes USDC payments, and a global watchdog pushes for stronger stablecoin rules.

1/6 Deutsche Bank’s crypto custody service is live for institutional and corporate clients in Europe. It supports Bitcoin, Ether and selected stablecoins. The bank also plans to explore tokenized funds with its asset-management arm.

2/6 ICE and OKX plan to launch their OKXICE tokenized-stock platform on November 23. Eligible U.S. customers will be able to trade more than 70 tokenized assets around the clock, including Coinbase and Robinhood shares.

3/6 Kraken parent Payward launches over 200 tokenized U.K. and European stocks through xStocks. The expansion includes Siemens, Shell and LVMH, plus companies in the FTSE 100 and Germany’s DAX, with round-the-clock trading.

4/6 Bitcoin traded near $74K early Wednesday as spot ETF outflows extended to a fourth session. Crypto continued to lag the stock rebound, while Tuesday’s hotter inflation data lifted market expectations for a December Fed rate increase.

5/6 Bottomline completes its first live cross-border USDC payments through its enterprise payments platform. Announced Tuesday, the initial transactions were internal company transfers, showing how stablecoins can fit existing treasury workflows.

6/6 The Financial Stability Board urges Turkey to strengthen crypto oversight, particularly rules for stablecoin issuers. The watchdog flagged risks tied to foreign currencies and “digital dollarisation” in the country’s growing crypto market.

📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Tuesday:

Bitcoin trades below $75K, MARA sells $1.1B in BTC, XRP Ledger maps out quantum defenses, the CFTC faces a fight over stock futures, Securitize moves into lending, and Walt expands beyond Telegram.

1/6 Bitcoin traded near $74,200 before this morning’s U.S. inflation report, and spot BTC ETFs saw $201M in net outflows Monday. October CPI rose 0.4% month over month, above the 0.3% forecast.

2/6 MARA disclosed it sold 13,597 BTC for roughly $1.1B after the third quarter ended. The Bitcoin miner used $750M of the proceeds to fully repay loans backed by BTC.

3/6 XRP Ledger’s proposed quantum defense would let users add a quantum-resistant signing key and disable the old one without raising base transaction fees. Testing and audits are still ahead, with a broader transition targeted for 2028.

4/6 Coinbase, Kalshi and Kraken parent Payward are backing the CFTC in a legal fight over perpetual futures tied to individual stocks. The group challenging the CFTC argues that the SEC has jurisdiction.

5/6 Securitize agreed to buy River One, a deal that would let it connect stablecoin funding with asset-backed lending. The acquisition was announced Monday and is expected to close this quarter.

6/6 Walt, formerly Wallet in Telegram, is launching a standalone app. Users will be able to sign up without a Telegram account and access crypto trading, tokenized U.S. stocks and ETFs, and perpetual futures where available.

📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Monday:

The NYSE picks Avalanche, Coinbase gets its federal trust charter, PNC pilots USDC payments, Bitcoin tests $74K, and Solana sees two big developments in tokenized stocks and security.

1/6 The NYSE picked Avalanche to settle trades on its planned tokenized securities platform. The venue aims to offer 24/7 trading and instant settlement. Launch still depends on regulatory approval.

2/6 Coinbase announced final OCC approval for Coinbase National Trust Company. The charter took effect Friday and gives Coinbase a federal framework for its institutional crypto custody business.

3/6 PNC and Coinbase are piloting stablecoin payments for corporate and institutional clients. Eligible businesses will be able to receive USDC, which the service will automatically convert into U.S. dollars.

4/6 Bitcoin traded near $74K Monday morning after dipping to about $73,700 late Sunday, its lowest level since August. Ether also hit its lowest level since August as the broader crypto market came under pressure.

5/6 Formation Securities is targeting early 2027 for a tokenized stock marketplace on Solana under the SEC’s innovation exemption framework. Galaxy Digital, Exodus and Forward Industries have signaled support for listing tokenized shares.

6/6 Solana developers want to retire durable nonces, a feature that lets signed transactions stay valid for later use. Attackers exploited it in April’s $270M Drift hack. The proposal still needs approval and would take effect no earlier than May 2027.

📰 Here are 6 crypto headlines to start your Friday:

Bitcoin rebounds from $75.2K, crypto ETFs shed over $500M, the White House reviews an SEC broker proposal, Zcash upgrades, WLFI plans buybacks, and insurers reassess crypto risk after the Binance hack.

1/6 Bitcoin reclaimed $76K early Friday after falling near $75.2K. Thursday’s tech selloff drove more than $1B in crypto liquidations. This morning’s U.S. jobs report showed 165K jobs added in October, well above the 65K forecast.

2/6 U.S. spot crypto ETFs saw more than $500M in combined net outflows Thursday. Bitcoin funds alone lost roughly $430M, reversing Wednesday’s return to net inflows.

3/6 The White House is reviewing an SEC proposal on how broker-dealer rules apply to crypto. The SEC’s agenda points to possible changes to capital, customer protection and recordkeeping requirements. The draft text hasn’t been released.

4/6 Zcash’s NU7 upgrade is live. It cuts the target time between blocks from 75 to 25 seconds and reduces the data wallets need to scan for private payments. Actual block times were still adjusting after activation.

5/6 World Liberty Financial plans more $WLFI buybacks after the token fell more than 66% this year. The Trump family-backed project says fees earned on reserves backing its USD1 stablecoin could help fund the purchases.

6/6 The $6.3B Binance hack is putting crypto insurance under the microscope. Reuters reports that underwriters are expected to ask tougher questions at renewal about firms’ exposure to Binance and whether they share the security weaknesses exploited in the attack.
