Plus: MARA and Riot Top Corporate Bitcoin Sellers, Schwab Crypto Adds Three New Coins
Good Morning Lions,
A Fed governor floating rate hikes hurts anything that trades on leverage, and Bitcoin is feeling it. On top of that, miners and listed companies have been selling coins all year, so the supply side looks heavy. I think BTC stays under pressure until core CPI cools off.. BUT, Schwab widening its coin menu tells me the brokerage on-ramp keeps growing regardless of rates.
Fed's Waller Backs December Rate Hike
TL;DR: Bitcoin fell toward $74,000 on November 10 as Fed Governor Christopher Waller backed a 25 basis point rate hike in December, Crypto Briefing reported. Waller also floated a 50 basis point move if core CPI runs hot.
MARA and Riot Top Corporate Bitcoin Sellers
TL;DR: Fourteen listed companies sold an estimated 108,247 BTC worth about $8.08 billion so far in 2026, according to Lookonchain data reported by Crypto Briefing. Bitcoin miners make up most of the list, with MARA and Riot at the top.
Schwab Crypto Adds Three New Coins
TL;DR: Charles Schwab is adding Solana, Avalanche and Chainlink to its Schwab Crypto platform, according to U.Today. The additions bring direct trading on the platform to five coins. XRP is not among the new listings.
Pendle Passes $850 Million in RWA Deposits
TL;DR: Pendle's real-world asset TVL passed $850 million around November 9-10, 2026, Crypto Briefing reported. RWA-backed dollar markets had grown to 82% of the yield protocol's total TVL by the end of Q3.
Elliptic Tracks North Korean NEAR Laundering
TL;DR: North Korean hackers routed roughly $430,000 in stolen crypto through six new NEAR memecoins between Nov. 5 and 7, according to an Elliptic report cited by Cointelegraph. Elliptic said the same laundering method was used after the 2025 Bybit hack.
Genesis Era Ethereum Wallet Moves Funds
TL;DR: An Ethereum address funded in the July 2015 genesis block moved nearly 2,155 ETH, worth about $4.57 million, to a fresh wallet on November 9, Crypto Briefing reported. Scam-related activity appeared around the transfer within minutes.
XRP Ledger Payments Volume Jumps
TL;DR: XRP Ledger payments volume reached 1.16 billion XRP on November 9, up 207.4% in a single day, per XRPScan data cited by U.Today. The figure remains far below the network's all-time high of 7 billion XRP.
If core CPI comes in hot and more Fed officials start talking about a 50 basis point hike, the miner selling gets a lot harder to absorb. A cooler CPI report would take much of that pressure off, frens 🦁 — Khal
