November 18th, according to Decrypt's report, the Trump administration recently promoted a regulatory proposal aimed at authorizing the IRS to obtain key information on US citizens' overseas cryptocurrency accounts and implement taxation. According to a government website notification, the Treasury Department's cooperative proposal for the US to join the international cryptocurrency tax reporting framework was submitted to the White House last Friday, and the President's advisory team will review it.Earlier this year, the White House urged the Treasury Department and the IRS to develop relevant rules to advance the US's participation in the "Cryptocurrency Asset Reporting Framework" established by the OECD in 2022. This multilateral agreement requires member countries to automatically share citizens' cryptocurrency asset information to combat cross-border tax evasion. Currently, within the G7, hubs for cryptocurrency such as Japan, Germany, France, Canada, Italy, the UK, the UAE, Singapore, the Bahamas, have all signed.In a cryptocurrency policy report released this summer, Trump's cryptocurrency advisory team proposed that the US join this framework. The White House stated at the time: "Implementing CARF will prevent taxpayers from transferring digital assets to overseas trading platforms, promote US digital asset growth applications, and avoid putting the US at a competitive disadvantage due to a lack of reporting mechanisms." The report requested the Treasury Department and the IRS to study specific implementation plans, but emphasized that "no new reporting requirements should be set for DeFi transactions."According to the plan, the global deployment of CARF is scheduled to officially begin in 2027.

November 18th, according to The Block, TD Cowen investment bank analyst pointed out that as the federal government resumes operations, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will face a crucial period in the next 12 months as the agency is working on formulating regulatory rules for the cryptocurrency industry.The TD Cowen Washington research team led by Jaret Seiberg stated in a report that following the longest government shutdown, the market's focus has shifted to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins's policy agenda. "After the government restart, the SEC will face the most important 12 months of Atkins's chairmanship, and his agenda of regulatory relaxation will enter a substantive stage," Seiberg said on Monday.Since the new Trump administration took office this year, the SEC has taken several actions to clarify its stance on crypto regulation, including issuing custody guidelines, holding roundtable discussions, and launching a rule modernization initiative called the "Crypto Plan." Last week, Atkins also announced a token classification scheme aimed at defining under what circumstances digital assets should be classified as securities."The SEC needs to start issuing proposals in the coming months to complete rulemaking by 2027," Seiberg noted that the agency takes up to two years from proposal to finalization, "this will leave room for judicial challenges to ensure that the new rules are implemented by the end of 2028."Seiberg mentioned that Atkins is also focused on issues outside of the crypto realm such as semi-annual reporting and retail investor participation in alternative investments. In the crypto space, it is expected that Atkins will focus on tokenized equity assets. With crypto companies rushing to launch blockchain equity tokens, these tokenized securities may directly compete with traditional brokerage businesses."We expect SEC Chairman Atkins to provide waivers and relief to online brokers and crypto platforms to pave the way for their tokenized equity business," Seiberg said.

November 18th, according to Coinglass data, if Bitcoin falls to $92,000, the cumulative long liquidation strength of major CEXs will reach $848 million.Conversely, if Bitcoin breaks through $95,000, the cumulative short liquidation strength of major CEXs will reach $491 million.BlockBeats Note: The liquidation chart does not display the exact number of contracts to be liquidated or the exact value of contracts to be liquidated. The bars on the liquidation chart actually show the relative importance of each liquidation cluster to adjacent liquidation clusters, i.e., strength.Therefore, the liquidation chart shows to what extent the price of the underlying asset will be affected when it reaches a certain level. A higher "liquidation bar" indicates that the price, when reached, will generate a more intense reaction due to a liquidity cascade.

November 18th, Sharps Technology released its quarterly financial report for the first time after adopting a Solana-centric digital asset reserve strategy. The data shows that its core medical device business revenue is minimal, while the company holds close to 2 million SOL tokens. The Nasdaq-listed company disclosed in regulatory filings that, as of September 30th, the fair value of its digital asset portfolio was $404 million, but this data reflects the end-of-quarter price level. However, based on the current price of SOL at around $138, the company's holdings are now significantly devalued to $275 million.Furthermore, the company's quarterly product revenue was only $83,622, while product costs exceeded $1.2 million, leading to a significant loss in the manufacturing business. Sales and administrative expenses surged to $110.7 million, driving the quarterly net loss to nearly $103 million. Fueled by the cryptocurrency holdings, total assets surged from $7.3 million at the end of last year to $444 million. The financial report also shows that the company recognized a $15.5 million unrealized gain on digital assets during the period and listed $7.6 million in margin loans and various warrant liabilities related to August financing.In late August, Sharps announced the initiation of a Solana asset reserve strategy through over $400 million in private placement financing, supported by institutions such as ParaFi Capital and Pantera Capital. In early October, it proposed a $100 million stock repurchase plan, but the latest filings did not disclose the progress of this plan. Market response remains consistently poor.

November 17th. The well-known crypto data website DappRadar posted on social media, saying "Seven years later, it's time to say goodbye," announcing the platform's closure:"We have made the difficult decision to close the DappRadar platform. In the current environment, operating a project of this scale has become increasingly challenging from a financial sustainability perspective. After exhausting all possibilities, we have had to make this tough choice.When we started in 2018, the space was still in its infancy. Early decentralized applications were few, explorers were scarce, and many questions about the future of decentralized applications remained unanswered. Inspired by Cryptokitties, we created DappRadar with the hope of helping people explore and understand this new world.We have weathered the ups and downs of the market cycle together. We are proud to have helped millions of users discover decentralized applications, conduct research, and continue learning through our content. We have collaborated with hundreds of blockchain projects, thousands of developers, and teams. Our data has been referenced by journalists, appeared in research papers, and spread globally in various languages.The blockchain space is often chaotic, and our mission was to make it more comprehensible and trustworthy. As we turn to leave, we are confident that we have held onto the right path, adhered to our principles, and injected positive energy into the industry.In the coming days, we will start the platform's winding-down process, including ceasing to track blockchain and decentralized application data and gradually shutting down related services. Regarding DAO and RADAR token matters, further updates will be communicated through regular DAO channels. There are still important decisions to be made, and we look forward to community participation in discussions. The mission of helping people explore and understand decentralized applications should not end here. As a guiding light for the exploration that the Web3 space still needs, we hope someone will pick up the torch and continue moving forward."

November 17th, Federal Reserve Vice Chair Jefferson stated that financial innovation has always been a hallmark of the U.S. financial system, and the rise of digital assets is part of it. The Fed's regulation neither encourages nor discourages the use of cryptocurrency, as it depends on the private sector. The Fed's role is to ensure that while the public embraces new technology, the banking sector remains safe and sound. As long as the Fed's policies remain in line with the needs of businesses and households, there is no reason to believe that cryptocurrency and other innovations will affect the Fed's monetary policy capabilities.

November 17th, according to official sources, Brevis has released the ProverNet Whitepaper, proposing a decentralized market mechanism for zero-knowledge proof generation. It utilizes a truthful online double auction to efficiently match diverse computing tasks with specialized proof hardware.Based on collaboration experience in projects such as PancakeSwap, Uniswap, Euler, Linea, MetaMask, ProverNet specifically addresses the core pain points of existing proof infrastructures. ProverNet will run on the dedicated rollup Brevis Chain, with the official launch planned by the end of 2025. Brevis states that this mechanism will drive zero-knowledge proof services from a centralized single-provider model to a competitive market, allowing specialized proof nodes to be deeply optimized for specific tasks. Application users will no longer be limited to a single provider while obtaining verification computing services.

November 17th, Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has launched a new liquidity protocol called Aqua, aiming to enable DeFi applications to share a single liquidity pool through multiple strategies while maintaining user custody.Developers can now access the Aqua software development kit, libraries, and technical documentation via GitHub, with a full frontend interface expected to be released in early 2026. Aqua has built what they call a "shared liquidity layer," allowing funds within a single wallet to support multiple trading strategies simultaneously—unlike the traditional model where users have to choose a single strategy and lock funds in a specific smart contract. With Aqua, assets always remain in users' wallets, and the strategy only calls upon the funds when a trade is actually executed.

November 17th, according to Coinglass data, the current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates show that after experiencing a one-sided sharp decline, the crypto market has slightly rebounded today. The overall bearish sentiment among participants has weakened, and the funding rates for more asset trading pairs have returned to neutral.BlockBeats Note: Funding Rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain the balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, usually applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or benefit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the baseline rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.

November 17th, according to The Block, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped by about 25% since hitting a new all-time high of around $126,000 on October 6th. According to analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein, this marks a short-term pullback rather than the beginning of a major downtrend.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani stated in a report to clients on Monday that this decline reflects investors' anxiety about the historical four-year cycle pattern, which has seen peaks in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Many investors sold off during the fourth-quarter market softness, believing that 2025 would see a repeat, thus somewhat creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.However, they believe that the current fundamentals are stronger, indicating that this is more likely a "relatively modest pullback" forming a new local bottom, rather than the 60% to 70% drops seen in historical cycles—thanks to significant absorption by long-term holder supply. The analysis points out that over the last six months, investors holding for at least a year have sold about 340,000 BTC (around $38 billion), while approximately $34 billion has flowed into spot ETFs and corporate treasuries, absorbing much of this selling pressure.Looking ahead, the analysts believe the market is "not like at a cycle peak," but more part of a multi-year trend defined by institutional participation and periodic moderate pullbacks. They are watching whether Bitcoin can establish a bottom around $80,000—a level seen after last year's U.S. presidential election—and believe the current pullback could present an attractive entry opportunity for digital assets and related equities.
