🦄 Uniswap starts earning from competitors’ liquidity
Uniswap has launched Aggregator Hooks—a technology that lets users tap into the liquidity of other decentralized exchanges directly within Uniswap v4.
🔥 What’s changed:
➖ 7 liquidity sources are now connected, covering more than 90% of DEX activity on supported networks. ➖ Available on Ethereum, Base, and Robinhood Chain. ➖ The system automatically finds the best swap route, including through third-party platforms.
💰 The most interesting part is the fees! Even trades routed through competitors’ liquidity will generate fees for the Uniswap protocol, which are used in the #UNI burn mechanism.
- Некоторые игроки могут подумать, что если в банке закончатся деньги, он обанкротится. Банк не может обанкротиться никогда. Чтобы продолжить игру (без денег) просто ведите учет сделкам игроков на отдельном листочке бумаги. До тех пор, пока в Банке вновь не появится достаточно денег. Банкир даже может выпустить «новые» деньги, нарисовав их на обычной бумаге.

🌉 Central banks are increasing their gold reserves and moving them out of the US
According to Fortune, central banks are increasingly reconsidering where they store their gold amid geopolitical tensions.
➖ France withdrew all its gold from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. ➖ The Netherlands moved around 86 tonnes of gold from the US and Canada to London. ➖ Central banks’ gold purchases averaged around 1,000 tonnes annually over the past four years—twice the previous level.
The reason is a desire to reduce the risks of holding reserves abroad and ensure access to gold in times of crisis.
📉 Large Hyperliquid traders are betting on an XRP decline
According to the Hyperliquid Long/Short Trader Ratio, 62.48% of XRP traders hold short positions, while 37.52% hold long positions. Meanwhile, the picture is quite different for other cryptocurrencies:
XRP has the highest share of short sellers among the assets listed.
📌 However, a large number of short positions is no guarantee that the price will fall. If XRP starts rising sharply, closing short positions could amplify the upward move.
💰The Starknet community overwhelmingly supported studying the network’s transition from Ethereum L2 to an independent post-quantum L1.
🔹 93.52% of votes were in favor of studying the transition. 🔹 The goal is to protect the network from future quantum threats and reduce its reliance on Ethereum. 🔹 In November, StarkWare plans to present a draft of the technical documentation.
📌 For now, only the research has been approved. The actual transition will require a separate vote. #STRK will remain the network’s primary token.
🤖 Hedera connects ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI agents to the blockchain
Hedera Network MCP has launched on the testnet. AI agents can now interact with Hedera using regular text commands through Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and ChatGPT.
🔹 Send HBAR and issue tokens. 🔹 Check balances and retrieve blockchain data. 🔹 Create and manage transactions using 40+ tools.
🔐 Most importantly, AI does not get control over funds. Users must confirm every transaction themselves in their crypto wallet.
📌 For now, the service is only available on the testnet. A mainnet launch has not been announced.
💰 Stellar is preparing the Bell upgrade: scaling and protection against quantum threats
The Stellar (XLM) team has unveiled Protocol 30, an upgrade focused on enterprise blockchain use. ➖ Smart accounts: Companies will be able to serve millions of users through shared smart contract infrastructure. ➖ Quantum protection: Support for verifying post-quantum signatures will be added, but this does not yet mean the network is fully quantum-resistant. ➖ Speed: The changes will lay the technical groundwork for faster transaction confirmations in the future.
📅 Validators are scheduled to vote on activating the upgrade on the mainnet on November 23.
💰 USDT transfer volume reached a new quarterly record.
The number of USDT transfers reached 2.8 billion in the third quarter of 2026, more than 4.6 times the figure for the third quarter of 2024.
The #BNB network led, accounting for approximately 52% of all transfers, followed by the Celo network at around 25%. Together, these two networks accounted for about 77% of total transaction volume.
💰 Dogecoin moves beyond memes: #DOGE is being prepared for payments and DeFi
With support from the Dogecoin Foundation, Dogecoin Labs is bringing together three projects:
🔹 MyDoge — a wallet with more than 500,000 users. 🔹 DogeOS — a platform for DeFi, games, and apps. 🔹 Such App — DOGE payment acceptance via QR codes and invoices for businesses.
The goal is to expand DOGE’s real-world use in payments and decentralized finance. The projects are still being integrated.
Japan and South Korea explore stablecoin payments via XDC Network

They will also assess settlement efficiency and mechanisms to prevent fraud and money laundering.
🍰 PancakeSwap launches a vote on increasing the share of fees allocated to liquidity providers to 88% and reducing the daily issuance of CAKE tokens by 69%.
📊 Santiment: XRP is in a potentially favorable buying zone
According to Santiment, XRP’s one-year MVRV ratio is 0.92. This means that investors who bought XRP over the past year are, on average, down approximately 8%.
Analysts believe that historically, readings like these point to more favorable buying conditions and a lower risk of widespread profit-taking.
For comparison, DOGE’s ratio is even lower at 0.74, while BTC, ETH, and LINK are near breakeven, at 0.97–1.04. A low MVRV doesn’t guarantee a price increase, but it helps assess where market participants stand.
🚀 Zcash (ZEC) will make payment confirmations three times faster as early as November
Zcash developers have confirmed that the NU7 upgrade will launch on mainnet on November 5.
🔹 Block time will drop from 75 to 25 seconds, speeding up transaction confirmations. 🔹 60% of fees will go into a reserve for future miner rewards starting in 2031. 🔹 The halving schedule and maximum ZEC supply will remain unchanged.
The developers have already determined the block height at which the upgrade will activate.
💰 #NEAR Protocol has introduced NEAR Business—a service for managing corporate crypto assets.
The platform brings a company’s financial operations together in one interface, supporting more than 35 blockchains, including Ethereum, Solana, TON, and Bitcoin.
🔹 Multisignature — transfers require approval from designated team members. 🔹 Privacy — corporate balances, payment amounts, and recipients are hidden from public view. 🔹 Bulk payments — salaries, grants, and contractor payments. 🔹 Cross-chain swaps — move and exchange assets between networks through NEAR Intents.
Terms: no subscription fee; the first 1,000 transactions per month have no network fees; swaps cost 0.35%.
NEAR Business is currently available by invitation.
🐳 Large XRP holders sharply cut withdrawals from Binance — lowest level in 5 years
According to CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost, the 90-day average value of XRP withdrawals from Binance by large holders fell to $49.7 million.
By comparison, the figure reached $3.5 billion in February 2025 — a decline of nearly 99%.
📉 The analyst links the drop in activity to weaker XRP accumulation by large investors. In his view, they may be waiting for more favorable prices before making new purchases.
This refers specifically to XRP withdrawals from Binance, not to all purchases made by large holders across the market.
