November 17th, Decentralized exchange aggregator 1inch has launched a new liquidity protocol called Aqua, aiming to enable DeFi applications to share a single liquidity pool through multiple strategies while maintaining user custody.Developers can now access the Aqua software development kit, libraries, and technical documentation via GitHub, with a full frontend interface expected to be released in early 2026. Aqua has built what they call a "shared liquidity layer," allowing funds within a single wallet to support multiple trading strategies simultaneously—unlike the traditional model where users have to choose a single strategy and lock funds in a specific smart contract. With Aqua, assets always remain in users' wallets, and the strategy only calls upon the funds when a trade is actually executed.

November 17th, according to Coinglass data, the current mainstream CEX and DEX funding rates show that after experiencing a one-sided sharp decline, the crypto market has slightly rebounded today. The overall bearish sentiment among participants has weakened, and the funding rates for more asset trading pairs have returned to neutral.BlockBeats Note: Funding Rate is a fee set by cryptocurrency exchanges to maintain the balance between the contract price and the underlying asset price, usually applicable to perpetual contracts. It is a fund exchange mechanism between long and short traders, and the trading platform does not charge this fee. It is used to adjust the cost or benefit of traders holding contracts to keep the contract price close to the underlying asset price.When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the baseline rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates a generally bullish market. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates a generally bearish market.

November 17th, according to The Block, Bitcoin (BTC) has dropped by about 25% since hitting a new all-time high of around $126,000 on October 6th. According to analysts at research and brokerage firm Bernstein, this marks a short-term pullback rather than the beginning of a major downtrend.Bernstein analyst Gautam Chhugani stated in a report to clients on Monday that this decline reflects investors' anxiety about the historical four-year cycle pattern, which has seen peaks in 2013, 2017, and 2021. Many investors sold off during the fourth-quarter market softness, believing that 2025 would see a repeat, thus somewhat creating a self-fulfilling prophecy.However, they believe that the current fundamentals are stronger, indicating that this is more likely a "relatively modest pullback" forming a new local bottom, rather than the 60% to 70% drops seen in historical cycles—thanks to significant absorption by long-term holder supply. The analysis points out that over the last six months, investors holding for at least a year have sold about 340,000 BTC (around $38 billion), while approximately $34 billion has flowed into spot ETFs and corporate treasuries, absorbing much of this selling pressure.Looking ahead, the analysts believe the market is "not like at a cycle peak," but more part of a multi-year trend defined by institutional participation and periodic moderate pullbacks. They are watching whether Bitcoin can establish a bottom around $80,000—a level seen after last year's U.S. presidential election—and believe the current pullback could present an attractive entry opportunity for digital assets and related equities.
