Still Hope for Bulls: Crypto Daybook Americas

The cryptocurrency market on November 17, 2025, exhibits a mixed mood; privacy coins like Monero and Zcash dropped over 4%, contrasting with relatively stable trading in major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ether. However, pockets of growth are evident as the CoinDesk DeFi Select and Smart Contract Select Indices are up significantly. Analysts maintain hope for BTC bulls, citing potential institutional inflows, while Arca's CIO dismissed concerns about Michael Saylor liquidating holdings. Traders are urged to watch U.S. regulatory developments, especially concerning ETFs and stablecoins, which could quickly shift sentiment. Traditional market news, like potential Japanese stimulus spending, could raise yields and pressure risk assets like crypto. Key events to watch include the Zilliqa mainnet upgrade and several Fed speeches, alongside ongoing governance votes and token unlocks.
