📢 🚨 Hack of R$ 400 million exposes fragility in the Brazilian financial system
One of the largest cyber attacks in the history of the Brazilian banking system occurred this week. A third-party company connected to the Central Bank, C&M Software, was hacked — resulting in the diversion of at least R$ 400 million, potentially reaching R$ 1 billion, according to market sources.
🔍 C&M is responsible for integrating banks and fintechs into the SPB, PIX, and TED, acting as a bridge between institutions and the Central Bank.
💥 The attack targeted reserve accounts (used for settlements between banks, not for regular customers), with intruders accessing these accounts and moving the funds.
💸 Part of the diverted funds was quickly converted into cryptocurrencies, such as BTC and USDT, but international exchanges were able to trace and block some transactions.
⸻
🧠 Reflection for those operating in crypto:
Even with regulations and security layers in the traditional banking system, no environment is 100% inviolable. Transparency, decentralization, and traceability are not just rhetoric — they are the foundation of security in a well-structured crypto ecosystem.
⸻
🛡️ Central Bank has positioned itself: • No internal system of the BC was compromised. • No end customer was affected. • Investigation ongoing with the Federal Police, Bacen, and intelligence agencies.
⸻
⚠️ Stay alert:
In an increasingly digital world, security is not optional. Strengthen authentications, review your accesses, and keep your crypto wallets protected.
The next fall of Bitcoin may come from Japan! Analysts warn that a possible interest rate hike from the Bank of Japan on December 19 could suck global liquidity and push BTC to the region of US$ 70 million.
Today Bitcoin is close to US$ 89 million, after weeks of volatility and loss of buying strength. The macro scenario has worsened — and this is not opinion. Economists consulted by Reuters already expect another monetary tightening in Japan. Why does this matter? Because of the yen carry trade. For years, investors have borrowed cheap yen and invested in risk assets, such as stocks and cryptocurrencies. When the BoJ raises interest rates, this machinery gets stuck. Leverage drops, positions are closed, and liquidity disappears.
According to AndrewBTC, this process usually hits Bitcoin quickly. And the history confirms: • March/24: - 23% • July/24: - 26% • January/25: - 31% The chart also does not help After the rejection between US$ 105 million and US$ 110 million, BTC formed a bearish flag. The price remains sideways, with weak volume - typical of a pause before a new drop. The technical projection points to US$ 70 million to US$ 72.5 million, a target already mentioned by analysts like James Check and Sellén. Summary without beating around the bush: Higher interest rates = less risk. Less risk = pressure on Bitcoin.
🚀 PNC becomes the first major bank in the U.S. to offer Bitcoin directly on the platform!
A historic milestone for the crypto market. PNC — one of the 10 largest banks in the United States — now allows customers to buy, sell, and custody Bitcoin within its own banking app, thanks to a strategic partnership with Coinbase.
With the Crypto-as-a-Service model, the bank paves the way for other traditional financial institutions to also integrate digital assets into their platforms.
🔸 Bitcoin accessible directly from the bank 🔸 No need for external exchanges 🔸 Full integration with Coinbase's infrastructure 🔸 Another step towards the union between traditional finance and crypto
The future is being built — and it is becoming increasingly integrated. 🟡
After a drop of about 30% from the all-time high, Bitcoin is once again being compared to the tulip bubble. Merryn Somerset Webb, a journalist at Bloomberg and a frequent critic of the cryptocurrency, reiterated that BTC is closer to becoming a "digital tulip" than a "digital gold." According to her, Bitcoin does not generate cash flow, has no historical backing, and relies almost entirely on market expectations and narratives.
Webb recalls that back in 2018, she already referred to Bitcoin as "one of the most obvious bubbles of the generation." Even after the asset has risen over 800% since then, her view remains the same. For her, the drastic price movements would be a sign that the market is reassessing the "real value" of the asset — which, in her opinion, could even go to zero.
In contrast, Eric Balchunas, an ETF analyst at Bloomberg, rejects the comparison to tulipomania. He highlights that tulips lasted only three years, while Bitcoin has survived for over 17, going through various violent drops and continuing to set new records. For Balchunas, this resilience already dismantles the analogy with a classic bubble.
He also emphasizes that an asset does not need to generate income to have value — gold is proof of that. And he reminds us: strong corrections are part of Bitcoin's cycles; they are not an automatic sign that the thesis has died.
My opinion: If Bitcoin were just a "digital tulip," it would have turned into fertilizer a long time ago. What we see is the opposite: every time they declare BTC dead, it comes back stronger. Does that mean it will rise forever? No. But it is also becoming increasingly difficult to argue that it is just a bubble about to burst. So — are you on the "digital tulip" team or the "absurd resilience" team? Comment below 👇🔥
The narrative sounds positive, but it does not reflect the concrete scenario that the country is experiencing nor the real perception of the market.

🇧🇷 Political Stability: A Pillar for the Market
The meeting between President Lula and STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes indicates a strengthening of interinstitutional dialogue. This cohesion among the Powers is a crucial factor for the country's risk perception, directly impacting market confidence. In a volatile global environment, political stability and respect for institutions are essential pillars to attract investments and ensure legal security, vital elements for the health of the economy and the cryptocurrency sector.
The speech talks about stability, but reality shows constant institutional tension and unpredictable decisions.

📊 A new survey reinforces an impressive pattern in Bitcoin
Data analyzed over 12+ years shows a consistent point: 👉 Every investor who held Bitcoin for a full 4 years historically ended up in profit — even those who bought at the top.
Tops of 2013, 2017, or 2021… it didn’t matter. The brutal short-term volatility was absorbed by time, and the long-term signal ultimately prevailed.
🔍 Why does this happen? Bitcoin follows a structured cycle: • Halving every 4 years → the issuance is halved • Scarcer supply • Historically, this preceded the major appreciation cycles
It’s not a guarantee for the future — markets change — but 12 years of data shows a rare consistency: • Patience was rewarded • Panic was punished • And 4 years seems to be the minimum horizon where the noise fades and the real trend appears
⏳ In the long run, time in the market has outperformed timing the market.
portaldobitcoin Grayscale, one of the largest digital asset managers in the world, highlighted that the recent correction of #Bitcoin # does not indicate any structural change in the market. According to the manager, the asset continues to have high potential to renew its historical highs as early as next year.
According to the report, the decline of 32% between October and November is within the historical pattern of bull cycles. BTC typically records at least three drops of 10% per year, and retracements of 25% to 30% are common in really strong markets. Since the bottom in November 2022, there have been nine significant corrections — exactly the type of volatility that usually precedes larger movements.

🔶 The news needs to be disclosed. But those who already study the market know: Bitcoin continues to be a smart reserve, because it has historically always recovered.
Towards the financial freedom that many seek — with responsibility and, of course, portfolio diversification. 🟧📈

#btc86kjpshock O Bitcoin fell to US$ 86.000 after the jump in Japan's 10-year yield, which triggered a global risk-off movement and tightened liquidity.
With macro pressure increasing, the question arises among traders:
👉 Will BTC hold this range… or is Japan's movement setting the stage for the next big leg of the market?
The debate #BTCvsGold at #BinanceBlockchainWeek showed the clash between innovation and tradition. Bitcoin offers digital scarcity and freedom; Tokenized Gold brings historical security with technology. So for you, who wins this battle?
The Chamber of Deputies approved the report that creates a specific regulatory framework for stablecoins in Brazil, establishing strict rules for issuance, auditing, and maintenance of reserves for digital currencies pegged to fiat currencies, such as the Real and the Dollar. The text prohibits purely algorithmic stablecoins, requires full backing in high liquidity assets, determines segregated reserves, and mandates issuers to maintain independent and periodic audits, aligning the country with the best global practices seen in jurisdictions such as the European Union (MiCA) and Singapore. The proposal also criminalizes issuance without backing and toughens penalties for fraud involving referenced assets, a move that responds to cases like TerraUSD (UST), whose collapse in 2022 destroyed more than US$ 40 billion in market value and prompted stricter international regulations (data: CoinDesk, Bloomberg). The approval is considered a decisive step to provide legal security to the Brazilian crypto market, expanding investor protection and establishing clear responsibility for issuers wishing to operate in the country. The matter now goes to the Senate, where it may receive adjustments before presidential sanction.
Bitcoin has resumed trading with a strong decline this Monday, breaking the psychological support of US$ 90 thousand and intensifying the risk-averse sentiment in the crypto market. Around 1 PM (BRT), BTC was quoted near US$ 84.000, accumulating a drop of 7% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
The movement occurs after a series of macroeconomic factors weighed on risk assets: new employment data in the US reinforced the thesis that the economy remains heated.
The pressure also intensified with negative flows in ETFs: according to CoinGlass, more than US$ 310 million were withdrawn from Bitcoin ETFs in the last 48 hours, representing a shift in sentiment from institutional investors.
Experts see the region of US$ 88 thousand - US$ 91 thousand as critical. If BTC does not quickly regain this range, lower levels may be tested.
Despite the decline, some strategists continue to interpret the movement as a "healthy correction" after the October rally, emphasizing that the probabilities of an interest rate cut in December are increasing, which could again favor BTC if future indicators show economic slowdown.
For now, the break of US$ 90 thousand puts the market in defensive mode, with traders attentive to upcoming macro data and ETF flows to understand if this drop is only temporary or the beginning of a deeper correction.
#Bitcoin was traded around US$ 86.000 on Monday after a turbulent week that saw the cryptocurrency plunge to seven-month lows near US$ 80.000, marking one of the most severe massive sell-offs since 2022. The digital asset lost approximately 23% this month and is about 30% below its all-time high of US$ 126.000 reached in October. The market sentiment has turned decidedly pessimistic, with • Crypto Fear and Greed Index plummeting to 12, indicating "extreme fear" levels not seen since the depths of the bear market in 2022. Data from Polymarket showed that Bitcoin settled in the range of US$ 86.000-US$ 88.000 on November 24, meeting traders' expectations after a week of high volatility. #informationuseful #Binance #queda
More than R$ 30 billion in Bitcoin! 🚨 A Chinese woman is about to be sentenced in the UK after being accused of buying billions in cryptocurrencies with diverted money — much of it coming from retirees in China.
The case involves one of the largest Bitcoin seizures in history: around R$ 34 billion. More than 100 thousand Chinese invested in Qian Zhimin's company, which promised health technology and crypto mining — but, according to British authorities, it was all just resource diversion.
The pioneering investor Owen Gunden, identified by Arkham as one of the largest whales in the ecosystem, made a sale of approximately 11,000 BTC, totaling around US$ 1.3 billion, according to on-chain data.
Gunden is known for accumulating Bitcoin since 2011, operating on the early exchanges, such as Mt. Gox and Tradehill, primarily in arbitrage operations.
The recent liquidation gained attention after the transfer of 2,499 BTC — approximately US$ 228 million — to the Kraken exchange, as pointed out in reports from Arkham.
📊 Market Impact On-chain analysts indicate that this movement reflects a possible migration of influence from the “old holders” to institutions. Currently, estimates show that institutional investors already represent about 40% of the exposure in spot Bitcoin ETFs in the US, according to consolidated data from 13-F reports. $BTC $BNB $ETH
The doubt is common among investors — beginners or experienced: “Is it worth entering BTC now or is it better to wait for a larger correction?” And the truth is simple: Bitcoin remains one of the most volatile and unpredictable assets in the market. But with the right information, the decision becomes much clearer.
📉 Is Bitcoin expensive or cheap?
It depends on the context. The price of BTC should never be analyzed in isolation.
Key points: • Bitcoin operates in 4-year cycles, driven by halvings.
🚨 Emergency Meeting of the NY Fed Triggers Global Alert on Liquidity
The Federal Reserve of New York called an unscheduled meeting with major dealers to discuss pressures in the money market and the increasing use of the Standing Repo Facility (SRF) — a clear signal of heightened attention to liquidity conditions.
📉 Why does this matter? When the Fed takes action in the face of liquidity stress, historically we have seen: • Rise in risk assets, • Positive flow for stocks, • Relevant recoveries in the crypto market, sensitive to monetary expansion.
The question now is: ➡️ Will the SRF be sufficient to stabilize the system? ➡️ Or are we facing a scenario that may require larger measures, even in full Quantitative Tightening?
💬 Key points for investors: 1. Is the current pressure structural or just temporary? 2. Could a deeper intervention influence inflation expectations? 3. How should the crypto market interpret this movement?
The discussion is open — the impact could be significant.
In the last few hours, various on-chain trackers have reported that large amounts of BTC and ETH attributed to BlackRock have been sent to Coinbase / Coinbase Prime. Among the reports, there are mentions of about 4,562 BTC, approximately US$ 480 million.
⚠️ But attention: So far, there is no public and verified transaction hash that officially proves this transfer. The analyses are based on on-chain labels, which identify wallets by heuristics — common in the market, but not infallible.
🔎 What does this mean in practice? • It could be profit realization or preparation for sale. • It could also be operational/custodial movement, common among ETFs and institutions. • It is still not a conclusive signal of massive selling.
📊 Potential impact on the market: Movements of this magnitude tend to generate volatility in the short term, but the scenario only becomes clear if there is a sequence of deposits or large sell orders appearing on Coinbase's book.
💡 For the small investor: Stay calm. Avoid hasty decisions based on a single alert. Monitor the inflows of the exchanges and the reaction of trading volume in the coming hours.
🚨 Bitcoin Drop: Understand the Moment — and Why You Don't Need to Panic
📌 Quick Summary: Bitcoin dropped to approximately US$ 98.526 (≈ R$ 548.000) on 11/13/2025. This created tension in the market, but for small investors, this can be a trigger for opportunity, not fear. ⸻
1️⃣ Why the price fell • The market entered a profit-taking phase after months of strong increases. • The Federal Reserve (Fed) maintained signs of high interest rates for longer, reducing global risk appetite. • The dollar strengthened, liquidity became tighter, and crypto assets lost some momentum. ⸻
2️⃣ What this means for you • If you invest little or are just starting: don’t panic. Corrections are normal and expected in volatile markets like crypto. • Now a window for accumulation may arise: those with a medium/long-term vision can take advantage of better prices. • Avoid decisions based on fear or “everyone is selling.” Patience and strategy matter a lot. ⸻
3️⃣ Technical levels to watch • Key support around US$ 100.000. If this level is broken with volume, there may be further declines. • Possible next support targets: ~US$ 97.200 and ~US$ 94.000. • On the positive side, if BTC can recover above ~US$ 105.000, we may see a return of optimism. ⸻
4️⃣ Tips for small investors • Set a goal: avoid investing more than you are willing to hold for, say, 1-3 years. • Diversify: don’t concentrate everything in Bitcoin only. • Stay attentive to education: understand the fundamentals of crypto, not just the chart. • Maintain emotional control: taking advantage of the drop is not about “catching the bottom,” but acting with awareness. ⸻
5️⃣ Final message "Bitcoin didn’t crash — it just took its foot off the accelerator. And those with a long-term vision know that it’s in the drops that the profit of the future is planted." #BinanceHODLerALLO #criptonews
🚨 URGENT: Federal Police dismantles billion-dollar scheme using cryptocurrencies to launder money from attacks on PIX! 💰🔐
The Federal Police of Brazil carried out a nationwide impact operation, arresting eight suspects in the act for a hacker attack on the financial system. The group, highly specialized, was attempting to invade instant payment (PI) accounts linked to the Central Bank to divert amounts via PIX.
💣 What stands out: Investigations indicate that part of the stolen money was converted into cryptocurrencies and sent abroad through small fintechs, with the aim of laundering and hiding the amounts.
🔍 Investigation data: • Arrests made in São Paulo (12/09/2025). • Estimated loss: up to R$ 1,2 billion. • Seized materials: 12 cell phones, laptops, and USB drives used in the attacks. • Those involved will be held accountable for criminal organization and qualified electronic theft.
💬 The Federal Police highlighted that the case reinforces the importance of cybersecurity and cooperation between financial platforms and crypto assets.
⸻
⚠️ What this means for the crypto market:
Even though cryptocurrencies were improperly used by criminals, the traceability of digital assets is one of the factors that helped authorities identify the scheme. In other words — blockchain technology was an ally of the investigation, not an enemy.
⸻
🔐 Final message: 👉 This case is a warning: digital security is a priority — both for banks, fintechs, and for crypto investors. The future of finance depends on transparency, traceability, and digital education.
