Crypto News Today [Live] Updates On November 5,2025

The Crypto Fear and Greed Index dropped to 20, signaling extreme fear as Bitcoin trades around $101,900. Most short positions have been liquidated, leaving long liquidation levels near $103,134. With sentiment turning cautious, traders are watching whether BTC can reclaim the $103K mark or face further downside pressure amid a fearful market backdrop.

According to Bloomberg, crypto exchange Gemini, founded by Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is preparing to launch prediction market contracts. The firm applied to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in May for approval to establish a designated contract market (DCM). Gemini intends to roll out the products as soon as possible, but the approval process remains ongoing and could be delayed further due to the recent government shutdown.

Crypto risk is dropping sharply as long positions continue to be liquidated and prices move lower. Bitcoin’s current risk score of 36 has historically led to higher prices 70% of the time after three months and 91% after a year. Altcoins, with a risk score of 18, show a similar pattern. Analysts note that multiple altcoin models now sit below 10, suggesting major accumulation zones. With the end of quantitative tightening, potential ETF approvals, and improving liquidity, sentiment is turning toward a strong recovery phase — and many believe the next big crypto move is just beginning.

According to Wintermute’s latest report, global liquidity is expanding as major central banks cut interest rates, yet most of the new capital is flowing into equities and AI instead of crypto. Only stablecoin supply continues to grow. The firm argues that the traditional four-year cycle theory is outdated, with liquidity now serving as the main driver of prices. While market structure is healthy and leverage has been cleared, a sustained crypto rebound still depends on renewed ETF and DAT inflows.

On November 4, Bitcoin spot ETFs recorded $578 million in net outflows, marking the fifth straight day of withdrawals. Ethereum spot ETFs followed suit, seeing $219 million in outflows for the fifth consecutive session. In stark contrast, Solana spot ETFs continued to attract investor interest, logging $14.83 million in net inflows — their sixth day in a row — highlighting a growing shift toward alternative assets amid broader market weakness.

The crypto market has erased over $1 trillion in value since October 6 amid record leverage and mass liquidations. Over 300,000 traders are being liquidated daily, triggering sharp market swings despite strong adoption and advancing blockchain innovation. Analysts note the crypto market’s volatility is largely technical, driven by excessive leverage rather than weak fundamentals, as investor confidence in long-term growth remains strong.

The aftermath of the massive October 10 liquidation event is still rippling through the crypto market. Traders and funds that survived the initial crash have likely been quietly exiting positions since then. Many running delta-neutral strategies—holding long spot and long perpetual positions—were hit hard when ADL systems closed their shorts, forcing losses on spot holdings. The weak price action that followed may reflect this ongoing sell-off. While seller exhaustion is near, the market now awaits new buyers to stabilize prices.

Ethereum whales are on the move. Richard Heart, founder of HEX and PulseChain, transferred 27,449 ETH through Tornado Cash. Another major holder repaid a 66,000 ETH loan, then withdrew 34,155 ETH ($111.6M) from Binance after depositing USDC—likely to buy the dip. Additionally, a new wallet, reportedly tied to Bitmine, pulled 10,000 ETH ($32.72M) from Kraken, signaling strong accumulation amid recent market turbulence.
