KuCoin Nigeria Limited said it has received conditional Approval-in-Principle (AIP) from Nigeria’s Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC Nigeria) for admission to the Accelerated Regulatory Incubation Programme (ARIP). The regulator’s decision follows a review in which KuCoin Nigeria demonstrated key elements of its proposed platform and operating model for the Nigerian market. The conditional AIP is a preliminary step and does not amount to final registration, a licence, or an approval to begin operations. KuCoin also emphasized that it is not authorized to onboard clients or offer services to the Nigerian public as a result of the AIP. Key takeaways Regulatory…

U.S. stocks traded lower and higher across sectors before the bell, with technology leading the downside as memory-chip names came under renewed valuation pressure.

Bitget said it has launched rToken Stock Transfer, a feature that lets users move eligible US-listed stocks and exchange-traded funds from traditional brokerage accounts into Bitget as tokenized assets, or rTokens. The company positions the rollout as an early step in its broader push to connect real-world assets with its digital asset ecosystem and to improve the ability to transfer and use tokenized holdings across different products. Bitget did not tie the launch to any market-moving macro or company earnings event. Instead, the update focuses on reducing a practical friction point for investors: transferring existing equity exposure into a platform’s…

Bitcoin is edging toward a bullish technical signal on its three-day chart, as investors weigh signs that macro headwinds may be easing and that select onchain indicators are stabilizing. The cryptocurrency briefly slipped below $82,000 on Monday before recovering to trade around $84,011, according to live market quotes.

BitMine Immersion Technologies said it bought an additional 12,532 ether last week, increasing its Ethereum treasury and bringing the company closer to its stated accumulation target. The move comes as Ethereum’s near-term technical picture remains mixed and data cited by analysts suggests BitMine’s holdings are still sitting on large unrealized losses. The purchase lifted the company’s treasury to about 6.028 million ETH, with Chairman Thomas Lee framing the added exposure as a bet that crypto could be entering its biggest bull cycle yet. Lee’s argument rests less on immediate price action and more on structural demand drivers, including tokenization, generational…

XRP traded around $1.40 on Monday after a pullback from roughly $1.66 in late September, with the token briefly touching $1.32 last week. The rebound has so far held off a confirmed breakdown, but analysts say the chart remains vulnerable, with a narrow support zone near $1.35 to $1.38 becoming the next key test. Market participants are watching closely for a decisive daily close below that area, which could shift the move from a routine correction to a deeper technical breakdown. With momentum indicators remaining weak and leveraged long positioning reportedly crowded, the downside risk is tied largely to whether…

Strategy shares slipped on Monday as Bitcoin pulled back from an intraday peak, reversing an early gain. The stock decline followed the company’s disclosure of what it described as its smallest Bitcoin purchase of 2026—adding 250 BTC during the week—underscoring how closely Strategy’s share performance remains tied to both cryptocurrency price moves and the firm’s ongoing treasury program. Key takeaways Price move: Strategy’s shares fell after an early rise, as Bitcoin retreated from a session high.

Bitcoin traded with mixed momentum below the $84,000 level as improving short-term buying interest encountered resistance, according to technical indicators reviewed in recent market analysis. Investors also weighed softer support from US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds alongside higher Treasury yields and geopolitical uncertainty, factors that have complicated risk appetite.

Key takeaways Price move: Bitcoin is trading below $84,000, with short-term momentum improving but not yet breaking into a sustained uptrend. Catalyst: Net outflows from US spot Bitcoin ETFs…
