- US stocks closed mixed on Nov 7, 2025, as Bitcoin fell below $100,000 amid $711.8M in crypto liquidations. - ARK Invest boosted Ethereum exposure by buying $9M of BitMine shares, signaling institutional confidence in ETH treasuries. - UK aligns stablecoin rules with US by Nov 10, while crypto firms form consortium to standardize cross-border payments. - Coinbase and Block underperformed revenue forecasts, with Block down 9% despite $6.11B revenue. - Market remains divided between Bitcoin bearishness and

On November 7, 2025, the US stock market ended the day with mixed results, while the cryptocurrency market saw significant turbulence.

(BTC) briefly fell below the $100,000 mark as a wave of liquidations wiped out more than $711.8 million in leveraged derivative positions within a single day, . In contrast, several leading crypto-related stocks outperformed the general market. (BMNR) jumped 7.65% following a $9 million share purchase by Cathie Wood’s Invest, . This move highlighted increasing institutional interest in Ethereum-based treasury assets, despite ongoing macroeconomic and regulatory headwinds.

Bitcoin’s sharp drop during the day reignited discussions about whether the decline marks the start of a bear market or is merely a temporary pullback. ARK Invest lowered its long-term price forecast for Bitcoin to $1.2 million by 2030, down from $1.5 million, citing the swift growth of stablecoins. Meanwhile, BitMine, which owns 3.4 million ETH worth $11.2 billion, has attracted investors looking to benefit from Ethereum’s yield opportunities,

. ARK’s acquisition of 240,507 BMNR shares across its ETFs marked a notable increase in its exposure, signaling a shift away from a Bitcoin-focused approach.

The overall cryptocurrency sector, however, continued to face downward pressure. Both Coinbase (COIN) and Block (SQ) failed to meet revenue projections, with Block’s shares dropping 9% after posting $6.11 billion in revenue, missing the $6.34 billion consensus. Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR), which secured €620 million through a euro-denominated preferred stock sale, declined 3.78% despite its ongoing Bitcoin accumulation. Robinhood (HOOD) also slipped 3.78%, even though its crypto trading revenue soared 300% year-over-year,

. Analysts linked the weakness to persistent worries about the October liquidity crunch, which eliminated $19 billion in leveraged positions, as well as the effects of the US government shutdown on market liquidity, .

Regulatory shifts further contributed to the uncertainty. The UK revealed plans to introduce stablecoin regulations aligned with US standards by November 10,

, while a group of crypto companies—including Fireblocks, , and Polygon—formed the Blockchain Payments Consortium to streamline cross-border payments, . These initiatives are intended to address the fragmentation of blockchain systems and improve regulatory compliance, but traders remain wary as Bitcoin investors anticipate possible further declines.

Despite the ongoing volatility, some see new prospects emerging. BitDigital’s Ethereum reserves, now worth $590.5 million, underscore the market’s pivot toward yield-generating digital assets,

. “Ethereum has evolved from just a network to a treasury instrument,” one analyst commented, as cited by Coinpedia. With Bitcoin stabilizing around $100,500 and institutional investments in Ethereum treasuries on the rise, the market remains divided between pessimism and long-term optimism.
