Miami-Dade County Tax Collector Dariel Fernandez announced on Monday that his office has begun accepting Bitcoin for property tax payments, available both online and offline, but each transaction will be converted to U.S. dollars before the funds reach the county government. Fernandez made this announcement in a statement on the tax collector's website, calling it an additional option for property owners while not putting public funds into the asset. Taxpayers can choose the cryptocurrency option at checkout online or request it at the counter, then connect to a supported exchange account or digital wallet to authorize the payment.The office stated that a third-party system converts Bitcoin to U.S. dollars at the time of payment, so it never holds, invests, or manages any cryptocurrency. The office still receives the full amount due in U.S. dollars and records the transaction in standard payment reports, with county staff not needing to maintain a digital wallet. Fernandez stated that the government must keep up with the times and the needs of those it serves, and accepting Bitcoin as a payment option provides another way for property owners to pay taxes while continuing to offer traditional payment methods, without compromising the responsibility to protect taxpayer funds. The office did not disclose the name of the payment processor and did not specify whether there is a convenience fee for Bitcoin payments; online credit card and mobile wallet payments currently incur a non-refundable fee of 2.5%, with a minimum of $2.5.This move comes during Florida's property tax collection season. Miami-Dade County opened its 2026 tax bill on October 30 and urged property owners to pay by November 30 to lock in a 4% early payment discount, which drops to 3% in December, 2% in January, and 1% in February, with the full amount due by March. In 2021, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins proposed a resolution to explore allowing residents to pay county taxes and fees with Bitcoin; previously, Miami Mayor Francis Suarez advocated for allowing residents to pay municipal fees and taxes with Bitcoin. The office stated that Miami-Dade County is one of the first government agencies in the U.S. to accept such payments, with Colorado accepting cryptocurrency for state tax payments since 2022, and Utah subsequently offering a similar option for individual income tax.

Critics of BTC, gold supporter, and economist Peter Schiff posted on the X platform, stating that Bitcoin has never experienced a decline in two consecutive calendar years in its 18-year history. However, Bitcoin fell by 6.34% last year and has dropped another 16.5% so far in 2026. He pointed out that if Bitcoin continues to decline in 2027, it will mark the first time it has experienced declines in three consecutive calendar years.

Aave Labs released a technical assessment on the governance forum, stating that the wrapped Bitcoin cirBTC issued by Circle meets the technical conditions for launching on the Aave Ethereum market. cirBTC is issued by Circle with a target of a 1:1 Bitcoin reserve, and at the time of assessment, its supply on the Ethereum mainnet was approximately 910.15 coins, valued at about 70.12 million USD.Aave Labs pointed out that the contract upgrades, transfer pauses, and address freezes for cirBTC are controlled by a single key, and no on-chain time lock has been set. The audit report for the cross-chain token service (CCTS) framework that allows the minting of cirBTC on Ethereum has not yet been provided. Additionally, the reserve proof data source has reported multiple times that the reserves are below the supply, and the specific reasons cannot be determined from on-chain data.

According to Decrypt, Jupiter, the largest trading platform on Solana, launched four new products this week, expanding from token trading to a one-stop on-chain asset platform, and announced a new mission to make global assets universally accessible and usable.Jupiter aggregates liquidity across the entire Solana network to provide optimal prices for each transaction, with a cumulative aggregated trading volume exceeding $1.3 trillion; according to data from DeFiLlama in early November, its total locked value in the ecosystem is approximately $1.7 billion, and the active loan size in the lending market has surpassed $1 billion. Chief Operating Officer Kash Dhanda stated that aggregation applies not only to trading but to all aspects.Among the four products, Baskets allows users to deposit a single SOL or USDC to purchase a basket of tokens without the need to exchange them one by one, which can be allocated and automatically rebalanced based on market capitalization weight or fixed targets. Jupiter Vaults serve as a yield strategy center, covering stablecoin lending and strategies supported by real-world assets, managed by independent curators rather than Jupiter itself. Users can view the risk status, fund allocation, and historical returns of each strategy before depositing. Vaults went live on November 11 as a private beta for over 19,000 waitlisted users and eligible stakers of JUP.The launched Portfolio V3 upgrades the portfolio page to an actionable interface, providing quick access to trading, opening perpetual contracts, forecasting, and lending, and sends alerts when positions approach liquidation, while also adding cross-chain transfer functionality that integrates multiple cross-chain bridges. Pulse and the revamped token page provide market data for tokenized stocks and ETFs, token economic models for DeFi projects, and a token comparison sidebar.The aforementioned products will be gradually launched before the Solana Breakpoint conference opens on November 15. Jupiter stated that all Vaults strategies carry risks, and some strategies may not be available in regions including the United States.

Decrypt announces a partnership with the Solana infrastructure company Helius to introduce confidential transfer features for the Decrypt Money Account. This feature is based on Helius's Solana Privacy Rings privacy system, allowing users to send funds without disclosing the transfer amount, and transactions will not appear on the Solana public ledger. This move is part of Decrypt's evolution towards The Information Exchange, which integrates news reading, trading, and prediction markets into a single account.Decrypt co-founder and COO Ilan Hazan stated that he hopes the Decrypt Money Account will be at the forefront of on-chain finance, providing a user experience that goes beyond traditional financial platforms, with privacy as a core component.Helius's product head Tilo Palfner pointed out that public wallets expose users' holdings, transfer methods, and transaction behaviors. Once a wallet is linked to a personal identity, its financial history becomes visible to the entire network. He noted that the user experience of Solana Privacy Rings is similar to regular Solana transfers, completing almost instantly, with the difference being that outsiders cannot see the transfer details.The Decrypt Money Account does not require a mnemonic phrase, gas fees, or cross-chain bridges, and the underlying technology uses simple zero-knowledge proofs to allow users to prove ownership and control without disclosing their balance. Currently, the privacy feature only covers fund transfers and does not yet involve exchanges, earn, and prediction market positions supported by Jupiter on The Information Exchange.The core program is already running on the Solana mainnet and has been audited by Certora, OtterSec, and ZK Security; Helius plans to launch Custom Rings in the fourth quarter of 2026, allowing institutions to set their own compliance controls and audit access permissions.

According to The Defiant, the decentralized yield trading protocol Pendle has launched four fixed-term markets for USDe on Ethereum, with an initial quoted annual yield range of 5.24% to 6%.Data shows that the liquidity of each of the aforementioned pools is approximately $10,000. USDe is a synthetic dollar stablecoin issued by Ethena Labs, while Pendle focuses on yield tokenization and fixed-rate trading.

According to Decrypt, Chainlink and Moody's Ratings have completed a pilot project demonstrating how to simultaneously distribute credit ratings across multiple blockchains. The test was announced on Tuesday, using Chainlink's cross-chain interoperability protocol CCIP to distribute Moody's ratings to both permissioned and permissionless chain networks.The pilot operates through Moody's Ratings Token Integration Engine TIE, which was built by the 125-year-old rating agency to disseminate credit assessments and related data in a blockchain environment. Both parties stated that the pilot proves that ratings can be transmitted across chains through a single interoperability layer while retaining Moody's existing publishing and governance processes. Moody's has rated or assessed over 70 digital issuances, including digital bonds and tokenized funds, from January 2017 to October 2026.Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer of Chainlink Labs, stated that as more financial assets go on-chain, credit intelligence must flow cross-chain and accompany every rating change. Fabian Astic, Global Head of Digital Economy at Moody's, believes that the future of tokenized finance is unlikely to exist solely on a single blockchain, platform, or market infrastructure.This pilot runs entirely on a testnet using representative test data and has not published any actual rating actions on-chain; it is a proof of concept rather than a live product. Previously, Moody's launched TIE on the institutional-grade Canton Network and subsequently expanded to Solana.

According to a report by unfolded, the cryptocurrency custody institution BitGo has updated its support for Aptos and has purchased APT as a strategic holding.

The page did not disclose the specific scale and amount of the holdings.

A Reuters survey shows that about 55% of the economists surveyed, or 56 out of 101, expect that the interest rate hike in December will mark the end of the current tightening cycle, a figure that is basically unchanged from last month.However, 45 economists still expect that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates at least two more times, including more than half of the surveyed primary dealers, which is consistent with the expectations reflected in market pricing, and believe that the risks to the inflation outlook have not changed since the U.S. midterm elections. Changes in the political landscape are unlikely to quickly alleviate inflationary pressures.Despite market hopes that the nearly 9-month-long Middle East conflict could be resolved, leading to a drop of over 22% in crude oil futures prices from the late October peak, inflationary pressures still persist. A strong labor market, resilient economic growth, and inflation remaining above the Federal Reserve's 2% target for nearly six years all indicate that further tightening of monetary policy is still necessary.Wells Fargo Chief Economist Tom Porcelli stated, "The Federal Reserve's decision-making depends on the upcoming inflation data, which will prompt it to raise rates again. In fact, the Federal Reserve has every reason to raise rates at the October meeting."

According to The Defiant, Compound V2 users must claim their COMP rewards by November 10.

Wintermute stated that after the U.S. midterm elections, the Democratic Party regained control of both houses of Congress, and the market began to reassess the regulatory risks faced by the AI industry. The AI trading, which was previously boosted by favorable Washington policies, has started to cool down. If the Federal Reserve raises interest rates during the correction of AI assets, the tightening of liquidity and the decline in risk appetite may simultaneously exert pressure on the cryptocurrency market.In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin rebounded to $81,000 last Wednesday but subsequently retraced most of its gains, dropping to a low of $73,500 on Sunday, close to the 200-day moving average of $73,000. Bitcoin's weekly close fell below the 50-week moving average of about $75,500, ending a previous streak of seven consecutive weeks above that moving average. The U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF saw a net outflow of $1.28 billion last week, marking the largest single-week outflow since June and erasing the cumulative net inflow for the year; only Wednesday recorded a net inflow of funds for the week.Meanwhile, over $1 billion in positions were liquidated in the market, with Ethereum's liquidation scale exceeding that of Bitcoin. Altcoins performed even worse than Bitcoin, with NEAR, HYPE, ENA, and LIT all dropping more than 10%. In contrast, ZEC became one of the few large-cap assets to rise against the trend, indicating that there is still some market demand for privacy-focused projects. Looking ahead, the market needs to remain cautious until Bitcoin reclaims the 50-week moving average. If Bitcoin's daily close falls below $73,000 and the 200-day moving average, the next key level to watch will be $68,000, and altcoins that previously rebounded significantly may face greater selling pressure. If Bitcoin's daily close reclaims and stabilizes at $80,000, and the spot Bitcoin ETF resumes weekly net inflows, a shift to a more positive outlook may be possible.In the short term, attention should be paid to the U.S. CPI data for October to be released on Tuesday, with core CPI expected to rise by 0.2% month-on-month. Additionally, Cisco and Applied Materials will report earnings on Thursday, U.S. PPI data will be released on Friday, and NVIDIA is scheduled to announce its financial results on November 17.

On-chain detective ZachXBT stated that the $16 billion in illegal transactions involving the cryptocurrency exchange MEXC, as pointed out by the U.S. Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), may be overstated. He noted that MEXC's past anti-money laundering and customer identification policies have been relatively lax, but he hopes to see relevant data, the proportion of suspected illegal transaction amounts to MEXC's total trading volume, and comparisons with other exchanges.ZachXBT also questioned why some offshore exchanges, which have almost no business in the U.S., quickly cut off channels for MEXC users to transfer assets, and who these measures are actually protecting.
