Crypto analyst Frank said Bitcoin’s short-term holder profit ratio recently moved past the 80% threshold, indicating investors should be cautious about buying near short-term peaks. In a post on X, Frank reproduced the English phrase "The short-term holder profit ratio can be used not only to identify dip-buying opportunities, but also to avoid buying at local tops." According to a Checkonchain chart Frank shared, BTC reached local highs in late 2024 and early 2025 when the short-term holder profit ratio climbed above 95%. The chart also showed the ratio surged above 95% several times after mid-2025, with BTC forming a major peak around October that year. More recently, the ratio briefly rose above 95% before falling back to just below 80%.

Jiang added that POC refers to the price level with the highest concentration of trading volume during a given period or within a specific price range. He also said the market is unlikely to be pushed below $75,000, where many investors are waiting to buy.

Yuga Labs blockchain VP Quit said on X users should immediately revoke NFT access approvals granted to Blur smart contracts. Quit said the recommendation comes as Blur plans to shut down front-end services for its official website on Nov. 12. Users therefore need to withdraw existing smart-contract approval permissions, according to the post. Quit added that no exploitable vulnerability has been identified in Blur’s smart contracts so far, but said the contracts’ upgradeable structure means the risk of malicious changes in the future cannot be ruled out. At least $10 million worth of NFT access permissions remain tied to Blur contracts, Quit said, adding that the safety of those assets could depend on the Blur operating team’s security management. CoinNess previously reported that Blur will suspend front-end operations for its official website starting Nov. 12.

On-chain analytics firm Santiment said growth in Ripple stablecoin RLUSD does not necessarily mean XRP will rise in price. Santiment said XRP fell while RLUSD’s market capitalization increased sharply. The firm added that if financial institutions actively use RLUSD on the XRP Ledger, transaction counts and liquidity could increase and support XRP as well. At the same time, RLUSD could grow without boosting XRP demand, as it can also be used on other blockchains. Santiment noted that a small amount of XRP is burned with each transaction on the XRP Ledger, but said the scale is unlikely to have a major impact on price. Ultimately, the key factor is not RLUSD’s market capitalization itself, but whether financial institutions increase their actual usage of the XRP Ledger. Earlier, Standard Chartered launched RLUSD custody services for institutions through its Dubai International Financial Centre branch.
