🚀 Bitcoin Rips $4,000 in a Day, Ethereum Whale Awakens After 9 Years, and Ripple Scores Its Biggest Win of 2025
Welcome to Generational Wealth – Your pathway from knowledge to legacy.
Date: November 28, 2025
If you woke up today and felt the crypto markets buzzing, you’re not imagining things. In just 24 hours, we saw Bitcoin surge $4,000, a 9-year-old Ethereum whale move millions, and Ripple lock in one of the biggest regulatory victories of 2025.
This is your concise, high-impact recap packed with crypto market insights, on-chain data, and the trends shaping the next explosive leg of the cycle.
🔥 Bitcoin Surges to $91,394 as $1.35B Exits Exchanges
Bitcoin is trading at $91,394, up 4.4% in a single day after briefly dipping below $88,000. The bigger story: 14,800 BTC — worth about $1.35B — flowed off exchanges in just 24 hours.
This contributes to a massive 47,000 BTC exodus during November, tightening supply and strengthening bullish momentum.
Key metrics driving this move:
75% of all BTC supply is now held by long-term holders, the highest on record
Total crypto market cap rebounded to $3.21T
Stock market strength + increased odds of Fed rate cuts are adding fuel
Traders are now watching the $92,000 breakout level closely
If BTC clears that zone, analysts suggest $95,000 could hit before the weekend
Bitcoin remains the dominant narrative driver, and liquidity is tightening fast.
🐋 A Sleeping Ethereum Whale Wakes Up After 9 Years
Ethereum is holding steady at $3,000, down only 1.2% on the day — but the news cycle is on fire.
A wallet untouched since 2016 just moved 1,300 ETH — worth about $3.9M — directly to Wintermute, one of the top global trading firms.
This whale originally bought ETH at $203… and waited 9 years to sell.
Other bullish ETH catalysts:
Kingdom of Bhutan quietly staked another substantial batch of ETH
ETH open interest climbed to $2B, signaling strong leveraged confidence
$2,900 remains the key support — lose that and we revisit last week’s lows
Ethereum remains the backbone of Layer-1, DeFi, and tokenization, and institutional accumulation keeps growing.
🌍 Ripple Wins Major Regulatory Approval as XRP Holds $2.23
XRP is trading at $2.23, down 1.6%, but the chart does not tell the real story.
Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin just received full regulatory approval from the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) — making it the first fully approved cross-border settlement stablecoin in the Middle East.
More bullish signals:
Binance’s XRP reserves dropped to their lowest level of 2025
Brad Garlinghouse confirmed multiple XRP ETFs are on the way before next Thanksgiving
If XRP flips $2.20 into support, analysts see a swift run toward $3
This is one of Ripple’s largest regulatory wins ever, and institutions are watching.
