According to @BitMEXResearch, so‑called anti‑spam chains are likely to attract the most spam, inflating on‑chain activity metrics that traders often use for momentum and fee‑sensitivity signals; source: @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025. According to Coin Metrics network data, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has historically processed fewer transactions than Bitcoin (BTC), supporting the comparison noted by @BitMEXResearch and highlighting the risk of misreading demand on lower‑usage chains; source: Coin Metrics network data, 2024; @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025.

According to Matt Cole, CEO of Strive, the Federal Housing Finance Agency's directive to consider cryptocurrencies in mortgage applications enables Bitcoin holders to purchase homes without liquidating their BTC and transfers risk to the US government. Bitcoin rose 2.2% to over $107,000, with Bitcoin Cash gaining 7.4%, and BTC dominance increasing to nearly 66% of the crypto market. Charlie Morris, founder of ByteTree, stated that Bitcoin rallies during peaceful periods, coinciding with the Israel-Iran ceasefire, while crypto stocks like CleanSpark climbed 6.7% but Circle declined 11%.

According to Omkar Godbole, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) showed resilience amid Iran-Israel tensions but traded narrowly, with Bitcoin Cash (BCH) gaining 4%. Institutions are accelerating adoption, as JPMorgan filed for a crypto platform and Strategy acquired over 10,100 BTC worth $1.05 billion, while BTC and ETH spot ETFs saw inflows. XBTO noted selective capital flows and altcoin sell-offs, and BRN analyst Valentin Fournier emphasized a structural shift to institutional demand, predicting higher prices in 2025 with favorable risk-reward asymmetry. Traders should monitor the Fed rate decision, regulatory bills like the GENIUS Act, and events such as the Purpose XRP ETF listing.
