Muted Market Movements From Rate Cut and Trade Talks
Hello SnapShotters,

Even with much of Washington still frozen by the ongoing government shutdown, a glut of altcoin ETFs hit the market. Bitwise has launched the first U.S. Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), following the approval of the ChinaAMC Solana ETF in Hong Kong. Canary Capital rolls out Litecoin and Hedera ETFs on Nasdaq, and Grayscale prepares its Solana Trust ETF. 
Spot BTC ETFs recorded US$446 million in net inflows last week, reversing the previous week’s $1.2 billion outflow, while ETH ETFs saw outflows of $244 million, a modest improvement from the week before. After an early-week strong start that saw BTC touch $115,000 and ETH $4,200, the market retraced after the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) 25-basis-point rate cut.
Instead of rallying, markets sold off as U.S. Fed chair Jerome Powell remarked that further easing in December was not guaranteed. Beneath the surface of turbulent prices, ETF inflows and debuts tell a different story, suggesting that institutions may be positioning for the long game.
Those who wish to stay on top of the latest price movements and market data now have one convenient tool at their disposal: the Crypto Market Data by Crypto.com MCP, which will enable users to pull real-time crypto prices and analytics directly through ChatGPT or Claude once set up.
At the same time, Crypto.com has made a new stride in the partnership with Truth Social, by launching the first ever prediction market housed within a social platform.
Here are the week’s top stories as we dive into the penultimate month of 2025.

💬 Truth Social Partners with Crypto.com for Prediction Markets
Trump Media’s Truth Social will become the first social media platform to integrate prediction markets, through an exclusive partnership with Crypto.com | Derivatives North America (CDNA), a CFTC-registered exchange. The feature, called Truth Predict, will let users trade contracts tied to events like elections, inflation, commodities, and sports outcomes — all within the Truth Social app. Users will also be able to convert Truth gems into Cronos (CRO) to participate.

🏛️ Crypto.com Applies for National Trust Bank Charter
Crypto.com is the latest major exchange to apply for a national trust bank charter with the U.S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). The national trust bank charter would enhance its custody and staking services, including those for institutional clients and digital asset treasuries.

🧩 Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Passes Final Test
Ethereum has completed its final Hoodi testnet run for the upcoming Fusaka upgrade, clearing the way for a mainnet launch tentatively set for December 3. The update introduces PeerDAS, a key step toward improving scalability and lowering costs for developers and Layer-2 networks. Fusaka follows April’s Pectra upgrade and sets the stage for Ethereum’s next hard fork, Glamsterdam.

🟣 First U.S. Solana ETF by Bitwise
Bitwise debuted the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) on the NYSE this past week, the first U.S. spot SOL ETP that stakes its holdings (targeting 100% participation) while trading on a regulated venue.

📈 Litecoin and HBAR ETFs to Debut on Nasdaq
Canary Capital has launched the first U.S. ETFs tracking Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) on Nasdaq, marking another milestone for altcoin-based investment products. It follows recent SEC guidance clarifying ETF registration amid the government shutdown.

🧭 Early November: “Magnificent 7” Earnings Kick Off
The “Magnificent 7” tech cohort — Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Tesla — head into earnings season in early November under scrutiny. They make up the bulk of index momentum; with analysts expecting lower growth than in previous years, the results will signal whether tech remains a tailwind for risk assets or becomes a stumbling block.

BTC Options Open Interest Clinches Record Highs
Bitcoin options open interest has surged to a new all-time high above $65 billion, mirroring BTC’s climb past $120,000. The data shows derivatives activity expanding in tandem with spot prices, underscoring rising institutional participation and hedging demand.
While open interest previously spiked ahead of major price peaks — notably in April 2021 and November 2021 — this current cycle shows steadier, more sustained growth. The divergence between open interest and BTC price has narrowed since mid-2024, suggesting a maturing market structure with deeper liquidity and more balanced leverage.

Fraudsters Pose as Advisers in US$480,000 Canadian Crypto Scam
A Canadian woman lost her life savings in a crypto investment scam after being deceived by fraudsters posing as financial advisers.
She transferred over CA$671,000 (US$480,000) in digital assets through NDAX to an external wallet for an online investment scheme. Compliance officers repeatedly reached out with written risk disclosures, follow-up calls, and direct warnings. Despite these alerts, she proceeded with the withdrawals and ultimately lost the entire amount to the scam.

The first WNBA Draft was held in 1997, the same year the league debuted. Unlike subsequent drafts, the 1997 edition came in three parts:
Today, being selected with the No. 1 overall pick remains a coveted career milestone. UConn star and recently crowned national champion Paige Bueckers (pronounced BECK-ers) will almost certainly be the first name called tomorrow, giving her the honor of joining one of the game’s most exclusive and successful clubs.
Thirty-eight hoopers will hear their names called throughout tomorrow’s three-round draft, with 12 picks in the first round and 13 in both the second and third rounds. As for the order, most picks are doled out in inverse order of the standings from the previous regular season.
When it comes to draft eligibility, you won’t see college favorites like injured USC superstar JuJu Watkins on stage tomorrow. Domestic WNBA hopefuls must be 22 years old during the year of the draft, have completed their college eligibility, or be set to graduate within three months. No one-and-done here.
Paige Bueckers, UConn: Just over one week after closing out her up-and-down collegiate career in storybook fashion, Bueckers is poised to make the move from Storrs to the Big D, joining a team on the rise in the Wings. From her on-court presence and vision to her staggering off-court impact, we can’t wait to watch her continue soaring in the pros.
Dominique Malonga, France: NCAA hoops fans might not be as familiar with the international talent, but that’ll change quickly with 6-foot-6 Malonga’s propensity for throwing down dunks. And although she’s only 19, Malonga is already battle tested, having competed for France in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Remember the name.
Sonia Citron, Notre Dame: Citron was central to a Fighting Irish squad that spent the early parts of the season atop the NCAA rankings, largely impacting the game with her stellar defense. Current WNBA star and ND alum Skylar Diggins-Smith deemed her “Steady Betty” — you can call her a likely top-three pick.
Kiki Iriafen, USC: Though her production dipped slightly after transferring to USC from Stanford for her senior season, Iriafen showed she can shine with the pressure on, dropping a 36-point masterpiece after her teammate JuJu Watkins suffered an ACL injury. If she can find her consistency, she’ll be an exciting addition for any WNBA squad.
Aneesah Morrow, LSU: Morrow stacked the stat sheet across her college career, averaging a double-double in her first two seasons with DePaul and the last two years with the Tigers. Plus, she only raised her draft stock during the tourney, notching a massive 30-point game in the Sweet 16. She may be an undersized forward at 6-foot-1, but she sure is mighty.
There’s no rest for the drafted after the orange carpet is rolled up tomorrow — WNBA Training camp begins on April 27th and the regular season tips off on May 16th. Here are two key storylines to keep an eye on as the fun begins:
💜 Expansion team Golden State Valkyries join the fold. The league’s 13th team will make their debut this season (after making the No. 5 overall section tomorrow), marking the first time the WNBA has expanded since 2008.
💸 WNBA collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations loom large. A handful of anticipated draftees chose to forego this year’s festivities and opt for an extra year of college hoops, with some speculating those decisions are connected to ongoing CBA negotiations between the league and its players’ association.
