Digital Assets Decoded: Your Daily Crypto Guide podcast.

Hey folks, it’s Crypto Willy, back at it with your Daily Crypto Guide, where we break down all the digital asset action every tech-forward neighbor wants to discuss over Saturday coffee.

If you’ve been glued to TradingView or CoinMarketCap, you know November’s first half has been a wild blend of whale waves, government games, and a tug-of-war between fear and bullish fever. Let’s start with those crypto “whales” — the big-money investors — who’ve been orchestrating multimillion-dollar moves in giants like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Chainlink, and Zcash. According to The Cryptonomist, these major players may be betting big on a coming uptrend, hinting we might see another crypto bull run ignite soon.

But macro drama is never far behind. Thanks to a last-minute agreement in Washington to avoid a federal spending shutdown, markets breathed easier, prompting Bitcoin to pop past $106,000. The Federal Reserve’s speeches and fresh economic reports on inflation and jobs were front and center — you could almost see Jerome Powell pulling market sentiment strings with every word.

While Bitcoin and Ethereum showed some muscle, not every token flexed its biceps. Funny enough, UNI — that’s Uniswap’s native governance token — staged an epic comeback, more than doubling in price after November 4. Uniswap’s Hayden Adams turned heads by dropping a proposal to activate protocol fees and realign incentives for liquidity providers and the entire Uniswap faithful. His idea? Introduce “Protocol Fee Discount Auctions” and aggregator hooks, priming Uniswap V4 to do DEX aggregation better than ever. Bankless called this a watershed moment for UNI holders.

Zcash deserves its own shoutout, jumping by nearly a quarter across one wild week as everyone speculates about the November halving. Staking hype around Chainlink’s “Rewards Season 1” promo also fired up alt-coin fans, giving folks something to cheer for beyond the established titans.

Yet, it wasn’t all blue skies. CoinStats and CryptoTicker, among others, warned of a correction in early November: Ethereum shed more than 10%, with over $19 billion worth of leveraged positions and smaller alt-coins getting the axe. This dip sparked widespread fear — think margin calls and de-leveraging galore. Technical signals, like RSI and MACD, started hinting at a cooldown, not collapse. Bankless and CryptoTicker both fell in the “healthy reset” camp.

Meanwhile, stablecoin inflows started creeping up — that’s often a sign investors are sitting on dry powder, waiting for a signal to redeploy into riskier bets. Institutions kept one foot in, one foot out, evidenced by outflows from Bitcoin ETFs despite slow but steady adoption in Asia and Australia.

Seasonality is in our favor, though: November tends to be strong for crypto, with historical Bitcoin returns averaging north of 40%. Gadgets 360 points out that regional adoption keeps chugging along, especially outside the U.S., so decentralized dreams are here to stay.
