Crypto Tonight in Brief | November 11

First, a few updates directly related to products and trading.

【1】Convert and Buy/Sell Crypto now support direct bStocks purchases with up to 49 fiat currencies

Binance announced today that Convert and the Buy/Sell Crypto pages now support direct purchases of bStocks using up to 49 fiat currencies. You can also place orders using your fiat balance, a bank card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. When selling, you can convert directly into an eligible fiat currency without first converting to crypto. Entry points and available currencies vary by location, verification status, and product availability; the service is not available in every region. bStocks are tokenized securities that represent interests in underlying shares held in custody accounts; they are not the same as directly owning shares in a publicly listed company. He Yi also reposted and liked a post from the official bStocks account last night, saying its assets under management are now around $1.5 billion.

【2】Futures preview: two TradFi contracts tomorrow; HYPE/TRX officially scheduled for the 16th

According to tonight’s announcement, Binance Futures will list NUUSDT perpetuals tomorrow, November 12, at 17:30 (UTC+8), followed by FRHCUSDT perpetuals at 17:45. The underlying assets are Nu Holdings (NYSE: NU) and Freedom Holding (Nasdaq: FRHC), respectively, with leverage of up to 20x. HYPEUSDC and TRXUSDC perpetuals are officially scheduled to launch on November 16 at 16:30 and 16:35 (UTC+8), respectively, with leverage of up to 75x. Some media reports say they are launching today; go by the official announcement, which gives the date as November 16.

【3】First recurring-buy deposit promotion is now live

From now until December 9 at 07:59 (UTC+8), the first 5,000 eligible users who meet the requirements, including making their first Convert recurring-buy investment, can share a 20,000 USDC prize pool, receiving 4 USDC each. See the promotion page for full rules and regional restrictions. One additional operational reminder: Binance says that starting November 12 at 07:30 (UTC+8), 1:1 conversions between AAPL and AAPLB, as well as AAPLB deposits and withdrawals, will be suspended. If you use Cross Margin or a Unified Account, collateral ratios will also be adjusted on November 13 at 14:00 (UTC+8), so it may be worth checking your positions in advance.

【4】Markets: CPI comes in hotter than expected; prices dip below $73,000, then rebound in the evening

As of around 19:32 tonight (UTC+8), OKX spot prices were: BTC at around $74,058, virtually unchanged over 24 hours (about -0.16%), with a high and low of roughly $74,843–$72,727; ETH at around $2,059, down about 1.5%; BNB at around $682, down about 0.9%; and SOL at around $83.97, down about 0.4%. In other words, BTC briefly fell below $73,000 during the day, hitting a low of around $72,727, before recovering to near $74,000 by evening.

The catalyst was macroeconomic. U.S. CPI rose 0.4% month over month in October, above market expectations of 0.3%. Core CPI rose 0.3%, also above the 0.2% forecast. Citing CME FedWatch, Investing.com, Global Markets Broadcast, and others reported that traders raised the probability of a 25-basis-point Fed rate hike in December to around 89%. According to CoinGlass figures relayed by TokenPost, as of around 19:00 tonight (UTC+8), the 20 assets with the largest liquidations had combined 24-hour liquidations of about $611 million, with longs accounting for roughly 79%. ETH accounted for around $249 million and BTC around $200 million. This is not the total liquidation figure for the entire market, but the direction is clear: longs took the brunt of it. The Fear & Greed Index is now at 29 (Fear), down from 32 yesterday. Farside data shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows of about $95 million on November 10.

【5】Lookonchain: Some bought ETH on the dip, while others increased their leverage

Lookonchain said that “7 Siblings,” known for buying ETH on dips, spent around $22 million to buy 10,792 ETH about 10 hours ago, at an average price of roughly $2,038. Meanwhile, a wallet linked to the Ethereum Foundation sold another 1,000 ETH, worth about $2.03 million. Last night, an address that had been inactive for nine months withdrew 10,000 ETH from Binance, worth around $20.89 million. On the futures side, AguilaTrades opened another 40x long position worth about 340.45 BTC (around $25.16 million), with a liquidation price of approximately $73,009. That price was indeed reached intraday today, but the account’s post said it had “opened another position,” so we are not describing it as already liquidated. After ZEC fell below $1,000, address 0x8742 went long 18,000 ZEC (around $17.63 million) with 10x leverage and is now facing unrealized losses of more than $2.8 million.

The same account also reported that Machi Big Brother sold 31 Bored Apes over the past week for 231 ETH (around $506,000), reportedly at a loss, and then lost that money trading. He now has 75 left. He himself posted that he plans to relaunch MachiPool.

【6】Other

Armstrong said early today that Base is becoming a hub for onchain finance, with about $7.49 billion in deposits and $2.65 billion in loans in its lending markets, adding, “Come build on Base.” Justin Sun reposted an announcement that TRON will discuss bringing TradFi onchain with Securitize, Hamilton Lane, and Polygon OMS on November 12 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific Time. CZ had no new market commentary today, but reposted two security and access-related notices. Binance Japan said that after GMO Aozora Bank detected unusual communications on the evening of November 10, it proactively suspended its API; yen deposits and withdrawals were temporarily unavailable at the time. Follow the latest official updates for the current status. He also reposted a statement from cross-chain protocol Across, which said its domain registrar had been targeted in a social engineering attack and that the domain was temporarily taken offline for security hardening—don’t rush to click links of this kind. Binance also announced the first speakers for Blockchain Week Bangkok 2026, taking place November 28–29.

Elon Musk, Donald Trump, Vitalik, Saylor, and Hayes had no new comments directly related to the crypto market today.

One-line take: Today looked more like interest-rate expectations repricing risk assets than a crypto-specific blowup. Prices broke below $73,000 intraday and then recovered to around $74,000, but that rebound does not mean the trend has reversed; leverage remains especially dangerous near the lows.

This is not investment advice.
