Political signals are heating up as Trump's hint sends Kevin Hassett's Fed Chair odds soaring, and Texas' Bitcoin reserve move pushes the U.S. closer to sovereign-level adoption.

Bitcoin teeters near $92K as JPMorgan faces fresh accusations of "rigging the game" against Strategy and DATs. With liquidity tight and volatility high, Bitcoiners are calling out institutional manipulation at the exact moment markets hit their most fragile point since early 2024. Meanwhile, a Nobel Prize–winning economist claims Bitcoin's recent crash is the result of the "Trump Trade" — arguing weakening confidence in the President triggered the pullback. But not everyone agrees: Arthur Hayes says Bitcoin is "ready for $250,000" now that the ETF basis trade has died, while analysts say the next cycle setup remains intact. Data shows this could become Bitcoin's worst November in 7 years, yet the macro backdrop signals a potentially explosive reversal as selling pressure eases and institutional positioning shifts. Tonight we break down the JPMorgan accusations, the "Trump Trade" narrative, and whether the cracks in the legacy system are setting Bitcoin up for its next monster move.

In one of the largest Bitcoin transfers in corporate history, Strategy (MSTR) has abruptly moved $5.1 billion in BTC off Coinbase, according to Arkham.

Tom Lee, however, cools off his timeline and backpedals on his $250K call. Elsewhere, a "significant step forward" sees $97K targets reappear, a bizarre Conor McGregor vs. Khabib NFT drama erupts, and Metaplanet continues leaning deeper into BTC-backed debt.
