Tether-backed Quantoz launches MiCA-compliant stablecoins USDQ and EURQ

According to The Block, Dutch blockchain company Quantoz Payments has launched two new stablecoins, USDQ and EURQ, which comply with the EU Crypto Asset Market Act (MiCA), anchored to the US dollar and the euro respectively. These stablecoins will be listed on exchanges Bitfinex and Kraken on November 21.

Quantoz is regulated by the Dutch Central Bank and holds an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license. It says its stablecoin is fully backed by fiat currency and "highly liquid financial instruments". Currently, Circle's EURC and Societe Generale's EURCV have occupied 67% of the euro stablecoin market, and Quantoz's EURQ may join the market competition. In addition, Tether has not yet obtained a USDT issuance license under MiCA, and Coinbase plans to remove all non-compliant stablecoins by the end of the year, which may be one of the reasons why Tether chose to invest in Quantoz.

2% of USDQ and EURQ will be retained on its balance sheet in accordance with MiCA regulations. In addition, Tether, Kraken and Fabric Ventures together invested an undisclosed amount in the company (Quantoz).

SOL's market value hits a record high, currently about $116 billion

XRP open interest surpassed $2 billion on Saturday, setting a new all-time record

According to CoinDesk, due to regulatory clarification and technological updates, the XRP futures market has reached a new high in activity, with open interest (OI) breaking the record on Saturday, reaching over $2 billion. At the same time, the price of XRP has risen above $1.20 in recent days, hitting a three-year high and driving a weekly increase of more than 87%.

Market data shows that the current long-short ratio is slightly biased towards the short side, with 51% of traders betting on a price correction. However, the simultaneous rise in OI and price usually indicates the entry of new funds, showing that the market trend is bullish. The surge in XRP's price began on Thursday evening after 18 US states filed a lawsuit against the SEC, accusing it of overstepping its regulatory authority in the crypto industry. In addition, the market is optimistic that former US President Trump may promote policies that are more friendly to cryptocurrencies, especially tokens related to US companies such as XRP and UNI.

It is worth noting that Ripple Labs plans to launch the RLUSD stablecoin for cross-border payments and liquidity provision, further promoting the application of XRP in the field of decentralized finance (DeFi), which may provide support for its future price performance.

CoinShares: Digital asset investment products saw net inflows of $2.2 billion last week

According to the latest weekly data from CoinShares, inflows into digital asset investment products increased by a further $2.2 billion last week, bringing total inflows since the first rate cut in September to $11.7 billion, while inflows so far this year have reached a record $33.5 billion. Inflows in the first half of the week were $3 billion, despite the record high price of Bitcoin, which led to a total outflow of $866 million in the second half of the week. Recent market activity, especially Bitcoin's breakthrough of all-time highs, pushed total assets under management (AuM) to a new high of $138 billion earlier this week. The recent surge in activity appears to be driven by a combination of loose monetary policy and the Republican Party's sweeping victory in the recent US election. Regional sentiment was mixed, with the United States seeing a net inflow of $2.2 billion, followed by Hong Kong, Australia and Canada, with inflows of $27 million, $18 million and $13 million, respectively. Investors in Sweden and Germany took profits, with outflows of $58 million and $6.8 million, respectively. Bitcoin saw inflows of $1.48 billion, but recent record highs have spurred investors to pour $49 million into short Bitcoin investment products. Ethereum appears to have shaken off negative sentiment, with inflows of $646 million (5% of assets under management), likely due to Justin Drake's Beam Chain network upgrade proposal and the recent US election. Solana also saw inflows of $24 million.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…

BitMine koopt $44 miljoen aan ETH

BitMine koopt $44 miljoen aan ETH

De grootste Ethereum (ETH) treasury ter wereld, BitMine Immersion Technologies, heeft weer toegeslagen op de crypto markt. Uit on-chain data blijkt dat BitMine, ook bekend onder het ticker symbool BMNR, voor $44 miljoen aan ETH munten heeft gekocht. Wat betekent dit voor de grootste altcoin? Check onze Discord Connect met "like-minded" crypto enthousiastelingen Leer gratis de basis van Bitcoin & trading - stap voor stap, zonder voorkennis. Krijg duidelijke uitleg & charts van ervaren analisten. Sluit je aan bij een community die samen groeit. Nu naar Discord BitMine verdubbelt inzet op Ethereum Om precies te zijn koopt BitMine 14.618 ETH munten erbij, goed voor dus $44 miljoen. Zo blijkt uit on-chain gegevens gedeeld door Lookonchain op X. Daarmee tilt de grote Ethereum treasury zijn voorraad naar maar liefst 3,63 miljoen ETH ter waarde van ruim $11 miljard, aldus data van StrategicETHReserve. Daarmee controleert het bedrijf nu 3% van alle Ethereum in omloop. Tom Lee(@fundstrat)’s #Bitmine just bought another 14,618 $ETH($44.34M) 4 hours ago.https://t.co/P684j5Yil8 pic.twitter.com/LHOpDto1R5 — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) November 28, 2025 De ambities liggen desondanks een stuk hoger: BitMine wil uiteindelijk 5% van de volledige ETH voorraad bezitten. Oftewel, we kunnen nog flink wat Ethereum aankopen verwachten van het bedrijf in de komende maanden. Door de aggresssieve ETH strategie van het bedrijf zijn ze bij uitstek de grootste Ethereum reserve. De nummer twee, SharpLink Gaming, bezit ongeveer 859.400 ETH munten ter waarde van zo’n $2,62 miljard. Deze agressieve uitbreiding volgt een duidelijke strategie. BitMine verwacht dat Ethereum een grotere rol in de tokenisatie. Bedrijven bezitten samen al bijna 5,01% van alle ETH, een signaal dat corporates zich voorbereiden op een toekomst waarin Ethereum een basislaag wordt voor financiële infrastructuur. Waarom BitMine zijn treasury blijft uitbreiden BitMine bouwt zijn treasury verder uit omdat het een dominante positie in het Ethereum netwerk wil innemen. Meer ETH geeft BitMine straks hogere staking-opbrengsten en meer invloed op de liquiditeit binnen het netwerk. Ook gelooft BMNR sterk in de rol van Ethereum in de toekomst van financiële infrastructuur. Bestuurslid Tom Lee verwacht dat ETH een dominante speler zal zijn in de stablecoin en tokenisatie markt. Beide sectoren zijn hard aan het groeien, mede dankzij duidelijke wet- en regelgeving onder de Trump administratie zoals de GENIUS Act. Daarnaast gelooft Tom Lee in een zogeheten supercycle voor ETH. Volgens de bekende top analist kan de grootste altcoin zelfs Bitcoin (BTC) voorbijstreven, allemaal dankzij grootschalige adoptie door tokenisatie. Als Ethereum de huidige marketcap van BTC wil evenaren dan zou de ETH koers al op ruim $15.000 komen. ETH en BMNR krabbelen langzaam op uit diepe dip De ethereum prijs reageerde vandaag beperkt op het nieuws. De altcoin steeg over de afgelopen 24 uur met 0,8% tot een huidige koers van $3.050. Daarmee zet de munt samen met de rest van de crypto markt een stijgende trend voort. Na een heftige crash in de afgelopen weken zakte de ETH koers vorige week vrijdag tot onder de $2.700. Ook het BMNR aandeel is langzaam aan het terugkrabbelen. Het ETH treasury bedrijf zakte vorige week tot $26. Een flinke crash ten opzichte van de all time high van $135 dat het bedrijf in juli van dit jaar nog wist te realiseren. De sterke daling van het BMNR aandeel valt samen met een algehele neerwaartse trend onder crypto treasury bedrijven. Ook Strategy, de grootste publieke Bitcoin houder, is ook flink lager aan het handelen vanaf zijn all time. Zo staat het MSTR aandeel momenteel op $175 tegenover een prijs record van $457 in juli.

Upbit hack sparks altcoin season in Korea? Thailand targets WLD

Upbit hack sparks altcoin season in Korea? Thailand targets WLD

The post Upbit hack sparks altcoin season in Korea? Thailand targets WLD appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Korean crypto bros are pumping altcoins after Upbit’s $36M exploit Korean crypto traders are having an outsize effect on local altcoin prices following a major hack at South Korean exchange Upbit, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. (Ki Young Ju) “Upbit got hacked and paused withdrawals, but Koreans are pumping alts since arbitrage bots are no longer running,” Ju said in an X post on Thursday, shortly after the exchange halted transaction activity after detecting an “abnormal transaction” with a value of around $36 million. With arbitrage activity suspended, local buy orders are having more significant pressure on prices, allowing Korean-listed altcoins to surge, as the selling pressure that typically puts a ceiling on price increases has disappeared. Crypto trader R2D2 said, “Unbelievable scenes here.” Crypto analyst A79 said, “Hack happens, and Koreans just flip it into a rally.” Upbit announced on Thursday that it had suspended deposits and withdrawals after identifying an unauthorized transaction worth approximately 54 billion won ($36 million), involving mainly Solana-based assets that were transferred to an unidentified wallet address. Assets reportedly affected by the hack include BONK (BONK), Official Trump (TRUMP), MOODENG (MOODENG), and Render (RENDER). Upbit to cover loss to prevent “any damage” to user assets The exchange clarified that while the hot wallet was impacted, its cold wallets — where the majority of user funds are stored — were not compromised. Dunamu CEO Oh Kyung-seok said: “We immediately identified the extent of the digital asset outflow caused by the abnormal withdrawals and will cover the entire amount with Upbit assets to prevent any damage to our members’ assets.” Some industry participants were confused by the fact that all the red numbers Ju shared were positive. StarkWare ecosystem lead Brother Odin was quick to ask the obvious question, before Ju explained that red…
