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.

Bitcoin has continued to trade sideways after failing to break above $84,000 yesterday, and a drop below $82,000 could trigger a deeper correction toward $79,000 or $77,000, crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe said on X. Van de Poppe said a prolonged range-bound trend could follow, while expectations and investor sentiment toward the altcoin market remain subdued. As volatility rises, daily and weekly price swings could widen, and investors need to stay calm and get used to such moves, Van de Poppe added.

TD Cowen said in a recent report that the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission may already be behind in drawing up digital asset regulations, with the timeline for moving them forward likely to be affected by the 2028 U.S. presidential election cycle and its outcome. TD Cowen added, "시간이 얼마 남지 않았다. CFTC가 규제안을 공개하더라도 이르면 2027년 1분기 말~2분기 초가 될 것으로 전망된다. 규제안 공개 이후 최종 규정 확정까지 2028년 초까지 걸릴 수 있다".

A buy-the-dip strategy could be valid if Bitcoin falls further, Russell Thompson, chief investment officer at digital asset investment firm Hilbert Group, said in an interview with Crypto Briefing. Thompson said the $80,000-$81,000 range could serve as first support from a technical perspective, while a trendline around $77,000 could act as second support. He added that Bitcoin would need to break above $87,000, the top of its recent range, to confirm a clear bullish reversal. If it closes above that range ceiling on a daily basis, BTC could rise to $93,000-$97,000, Thompson said. He also said spot ETF outflows, rising oil prices amid conflict in the Middle East, and concerns over additional rate hikes by the Federal Reserve remain pressure factors for Bitcoin.

Tempo, a blockchain project backed by global payments infrastructure company Stripe, said a proposed U.S. accounting standards revision could accelerate corporate stablecoin adoption, according to Cointelegraph. In its latest report, Tempo said the proposal from the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, could remove a key barrier that has held back corporate stablecoin adoption. If implemented, qualifying stablecoins could be classified as cash equivalents on financial statements, which would make them more useful for corporate treasury management and operations, Tempo said. FASB plans to collect public comments on the proposal through Nov. 19 before deciding on a final version and implementation timing. CoinNess previously reported that FASB had proposed revising accounting standards to allow stablecoins to be classified as cash equivalents.
