Ethereum price has stumbled into November with renewed selling. The price dropped 3.8% in the past 24 hours, falling near $3,738, after a rough October that saw losses of almost 17%. The market had hoped for a rebound, but data now show holders reducing exposure. Still, on-chain support zones and a key momentum signal suggest the dip may not last for long.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller has proposed a new “limited-access” or “skinny” master account for fintech and crypto firms.

Hayes Calls It a Political Move BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes criticized the idea, saying it could damage the traditional banking model.

The mechanics rest on a summer policy shift. On July 29, 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) announced the decision to approve orders allowing in-kind creations and redemptions for crypto-asset exchange-traded product (ETP) shares, a policy which covers spot bitcoin exchange traded funds (ETFs).
