    XRP Wallet Creation Surges Despite Price Pressure

    XRP price remains under pressure despite a significant increase in wallet creation across the XRP Ledger, marking its sixth-highest daily total of 2026. According to blockchain analytics firm Santiment, the network recorded 7,934 new wallets on November 1, highlighting growing network activity.

    AI bull market likely needs tech stocks to recover

    Market commentator Mike Santoli argues that the AI-driven bull market cannot be sustained without a rebound in tech stocks, noting that defensive giants like Walmart and Eli Lilly have added $550 billion in market value but cannot replace the growth lost by Big Tech. The Nasdaq‑100 and S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF are converging, while AI exposure in the S&P 500 remains near 45%. JPMorgan strategist Jason Hunter advises staying defensive until clear capitulation signs appear. Treasury yields now track AI‑capex sentiment, and valuation multiples have compressed to the lowest in nine years, suggesting a potential turning point for AI‑related equities.

    Binance Retail BTC Inflows Hit Multi-Year Low

    Retail Bitcoin transfers into Binance are shrinking, with the 30-day average for deposits smaller than one Bitcoin at Binance reaching 281 BTC. This is about five times lower than the 2019-2021 peak of 2,700 BTC. The decline challenges the assumption that rising Bitcoin valuations prompt greater exchange activity, but cannot distinguish sales preparation from routine transfers. The January 2024 launch of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs is suggested as a potential structural explanation for the decline, as ETFs allow investors to obtain exposure through brokerage accounts instead of sending Bitcoin to trading platforms.

    AI Chip Smugglers Exploit Export Loopholes to Move Banned HBM to China

    AI chip smugglers have found a way around US export controls by repackaging high-bandwidth memory (HBM) made by Samsung Electronics and SK hynix alongside low-end server processors. The memory is then sold on for various uses, including Huawei's AI systems. The smuggling method involves mounting the HBM on a substrate board and declaring it under the classification of the accompanying server processor, not the memory itself. The research indicates that the most prominent buyer category is Huawei's AI systems, including the Ascend 960DT.
