Pound to Dollar Forecast: GBP Rebounds on USD Pullback, Fundamentals Still Fragile

STORY LINK Pound to Dollar Forecast: GBP Rebounds on USD Pullback, Fundamentals Still Fragile

The Pound to Dollar exchange rate (GBP/USD) slipped below 1.3100 on Wednesday following a weak UK GDP print and persistent political uncertainty, but Sterling later recovered as the dollar softened.

By Thursday afternoon, GBP/USD was trading around 1.3145 (-0.06%), supported by a US dollar pullback despite sustained bearish pressure on the Pound.

GBP/USD Forecasts: Dollar Softens, But UK Fundamentals Still a Drag

Analysts at UoB noted that a break above 1.3165 would signal that “the current mild downward pressure has eased,” while ING maintains a year-end GBP/USD target of 1.34 as dollar momentum fades into December.

The latest GDP figures painted a bleak picture. UK output contracted 0.1% in September versus expectations of flat growth. The third quarter posted only 0.1% growth against the 0.2% consensus, with manufacturing hit hard by the JLR cyberattack and only marginal gains in construction and services.

Quilter’s Lindsay James said; “This paints a picture of an economy that started 2025 strongly but is now badly losing steam just as the Chancellor prepares for a pivotal Autumn Budget.”

ING added; “This complicates the job of Chancellor Rachel Reeves ahead of the Budget, where she’ll try to reassure markets with fiscally prudent measures, whilst trying not to dampen growth excessively or stoke up inflation.”

Reeves U-Turn Raises Fiscal Questions

Fresh reports that Chancellor Rachel Reeves has dropped plans for income tax hikes added further uncertainty. According to ING, Sterling came under renewed pressure because earlier gains in gilts had been based on expectations that income tax rises would deliver the necessary fiscal tightening without stoking inflation, creating room for the BoE to cut rates in December.

ING warned: “It’s unclear how Reeves will fill the £30bn fiscal hole without touching income tax. VAT hikes would be inflationary, risking hawkish BoE repricing. Freezing tax thresholds is one alternative but markets will scrutinise the details.”

BoE December Cut Bets Strengthen

Signs of slowing growth and deteriorating labour-market conditions have strengthened expectations of a December BoE rate cut.
MUFG said; “Slowing growth momentum and weakness in the labour market are encouraging market expectations for active BoE easing.”

RSM UK’s Thomas Pugh added; “If we didn’t think a December rate cut was nailed on already, this morning’s data almost certainly makes it so.”

Political risk adds another layer. Prime Minister Starmer’s approval ratings remain poor, and MUFG warned that the May 2025 local elections could be a decisive test, with further Pound weakness likely if markets begin to price in a meaningful political risk premium.

Dollar Weakens as US Shutdown Ends, But Fed Uncertainty Persists

With the US government now reopened, markets will refocus on delayed economic data, particularly jobs reports.
Market pricing for a December Fed cut has cooled to around 55%, with Fed officials increasingly divided.

Scotiabank noted: “WSJ Fed-watcher Timiraos reports Fed officials are fracturing over a December cut after hawks pushed for a pause after last month’s decision.”

Upcoming labour data will be crucial in determining whether December easing remains viable.
As ING put it; “We think markets are underestimating the downside risks for the labour market, US front-end rates and – by extension – the dollar into year-end.”

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress review

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T21:10:28+02:00November 14, 2025|Dietary Supplements News, News|0 Comments

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress is a low-cost bed that often tops the Amazon bestseller list, but can it compare to this year’s best mattresses?

We put it to the test, spending three weeks sleeping on a full-size Zinus 10-inch Mattress, with feedback from a wider review panel and support from objective testing per our mattress methodology. (Spoiler: It’s a hit among side sleepers.)

from $399 at Zinus

The Zinus mattress excels in pressure relief. The very best memory foam mattresses are known for their contouring comfort, adapting to the touch points to evenly distribute body weight and decrease pressure buildup. The Zinus, with its slow-moving cushioned foams, eases around the body to bring relief to the shoulders, hips, and knees.

It’s like a big hug from a marshmallow, with the dense base foams providing just enough support to keep the body lifted. All our side sleeping testers enjoyed resting on the Zinus.

It also delivers when it comes to motion isolation. Our testers agree that even a fidgety bed partner shouldn’t bother you when sharing the Zinus. Its performance in this aspect ranks alongside some of our favorite all-foam beds, including the more expensive Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress.

Although primarily a side sleepers’ mattress, some back sleepers will also get on with the Zinus, particularly those who prefer a soft bed or have a light build. However, the ‘sink-in’ feeling can cause some tension in the lower back. For this reason, we don’t recommend the Zinus to stomach sleepers. If you lie on your front, a firmer all-foam bed like the Siena mattress is a better choice.

Where the Zinus mattress excels is, undoubtedly, pressure relief

The Zinus does fall into some of the common traps of a cheaper all-foam mattress. It struggles with temperature regulation (which can lead to some sweaty mornings), and the edge support is subpar. If you need a push off the sides of the bed to get up in the morning, consider the superior support of the EGOHOME Memory Foam Mattress because you’ll slide straight off the Zinus.

But while these are noteworthy issues, we still think the Zinus delivers excellent value for money. A queen is often $499 direct from Zinus, but if you head to Amazon, you can pick up an older model for under $250. If you need a crowd-pleasing bed for a well-used guest room, we think this is among this year’s best cheap mattresses.

For everyday use, we think the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress will best suit side sleepers who are tired of waking up with aching arms and want a new bed on a tight budget. You could do a lot worse in this price bracket.

mattress sales make Zinus a budget-friendly sleep brand. Its flagship Green Tea Memory Foam mattress can typically be picked up for less than $500 for a queen-size.

Thanks to these frequent Zinus mattress sales, you can pretty much go ahead and ignore the MSRP. Below is the current pricing for the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress, including the full cost and what you’ll normally pay in the sale:

Twin MSRP: $399 (normally sold at $199)
Full MSRP: $499 (normally sold at $399)
Queen MSRP: $599 (normally sold at $499)
King MSRP: $699 (normally sold at $699)

These sale prices stay fairly consistent year-round, but major sales events are sometimes accompanied by an added discount. We’ve seen an extra 10% off appear several times this year.

But when it comes to the Zinus Green Tea mattress, this is only part of the pricing story. For the lowest cost, you often need to go third-party.

At the Amazon Zinus store, we’ve seen a queen drop below $200 (but you’re most likely to pay around $230). That puts it in line with super-affordable beds like the Linenspa Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress and the Allswell Hybrid Mattress, and makes it one of the best cheap mattresses on Amazon.

There are a few disadvantages, however, to shopping with third parties. First, Amazon typically sells older versions of this mattress. We predict this design has a similar feel to the current build, but the newer model might have better performance aspects (such as cooling).

Second, shopping third party does mean missing out on benefits. You’ll get a 10-year mattress warranty both at Zinus and Amazon, but buying from Zinus comes with the bonus of a 100-night sleep trial. This allows you to try the mattress in your home and return it if it isn’t right for you. At Amazon, once the bed is out of its packaging, it can only be returned if there’s a fault.

You might also have noticed that the Zinus mattress comes in only a handful of sizes. For a cheaper all-foam bed with a vast sizing line-up, try the Brooklyn Bedding Dreamfoam Essential mattress.

Value for money score: 3.5 out of 5

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review: Design

10 inches tall (6-, 8-, and 12-inch available on Amazon)
Three layers of foam, including memory foam comfort layers
Features green tea foam infusion for freshness

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam mattress has a three-layer, all-foam build. That’s a fairly standard design for an all-foam mattress, particularly in this price bracket. We tested the 10-inch model but there are different heights available via Amazon. Only the 10-inch model is available direct from Zinus.

The top layer is a comfort layer consisting of memory foam enhanced with a green tea infusion for added “freshness” (although we have some doubts on its effectiveness). Beneath this is a layer of transition foam, offering responsive support. Finally, a base of durable foam brings stability and support to the overall mattress.

This is all wrapped in a soft to the touch cover with a breathable design. The cover on our model appears cosmetically different to the cover on the Zinus website, but we expect any changes in feel to be minimal. The cover can’t be removed and is spot clean only.

There are no handles, which can make the Zinus Mattress difficult to move around. Our test model also had a surprisingly loose cover. This was rarely noticeable, but after a particularly restless night there was some bunching.

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review: Comfort & support

We rate this mattress 5.5 out of 10 for firmness
Softer foams are best for side sleepers
Supportive enough for some back sleepers

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress delivers the kind of adaptive comfort we expect from a memory foam bed. It ‘hugs’ the body, molding itself to your form to relieve pressure at the touch points and cushion the joints. This is a mattress you sink into, rather than lie on top of.

Tempur-Pedic mattress, makes the Zinus Mattress most comfortable for side sleepers, especially those with a lighter build. At the shoulders and hips the Zinus feels dreamy, with a pillow-y softness that ensures none of the ‘numb’ shoulders and hips that can accompany side sleeping on a firmer mattress. We think it’s one of the best mattresses for side sleepers on a budget.

The dense foam at the base enhances the support of the Zinus Mattress, and our lightweight back sleeping tester was comfortable lying in this position. However, our primary tester would have appreciated firmer support at the hips, to prevent the lumbar region from sinking.

Our lead tester is a stomach sleeper and found the Zinus Memory Foam Mattress too soft to consistently sleep comfortably in this position — most mornings she woke up with a slight ache in her lower back. The best mattresses for stomach sleepers have a firmer feel to prevent the spine from twisting as you sleep. The Siena Mattress is a better alternative if you like to sleep on your front.

The soft foams do make it hard to move about on the Zinus; it’s a bit like having a fight with a marshmallow. For some, this cradling effect is cushioning and cozy. For others, it can be stifling.

Zinus rates the Memory Foam Mattress as having a medium feel, and our testing panel agrees. We rate it as 5.5 out of 10 on the mattress firmness scale, with one being hugely soft and 10 being rock hard. This was backed by our objective testing. When we placed a 50lb kettlebell on the bed it immediately sank at least five inches into the foam, indicating a medium firmness.

We did notice the firmness varied with the weather (which isn’t unusual for a memory foam mattress). On hot days, the Zinus felt a few degrees softer.

Pressure relief score: 4 out of 5

Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress review: Setup

Arrives in a box and recommends 72 hours to expand fully
Appeared fully inflated after 24 hours
Off-gassing smell disappeared quickly

Delivery of the Zinus Memory Foam Mattress was fast and easy, with our tester model purchased from the Zinus store on Amazon. A boxed bed, it arrived vacuum sealed, compressed in plastic, and rolled to fit in a cardboard box.

The package was slightly unwieldy – some mattresses are folded lengthwise then rolled, but as the Zinus was just rolled, it was still pretty tall. However, this is potentially only an issue for some sizes (larger options might be folded) and was only a minor inconvenience. Out of the box, the Zinus Mattress was quick and easy to unroll.

With the mattress on the bed frame, Zinus recommends waiting 72 hours for it to expand before use. This is a long waiting period, but our model looked fully inflated after roughly 24 hours. Although if you can, try waiting the full 72 hours.

mattress off-gassing smell lingered for a while. Mattress off-gassing is caused by Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) being released into the air, and it’s a common issue with even some of the best mattresses in a box. Our testing panel noted a strong paint-like smell at first, but it did fade quickly with the window open.

Zinus doesn’t offer white glove delivery, and while the bed isn’t particularly heavy for a mattress, it’s bulky and hard to move. Two people or more are needed to unbox safely and efficiently.

Delivery and setup score: 4 out of 5

mattress testing methodology, we conduct a series of performance tests for three key performance areas: motion isolation (how much movement disrupts the sleep surface), edge support (how strong the mattress is at the perimeter), and temperature regulation (how well the mattress maintains a neutral temperature overnight).

These are the results of our testing:

motion isolation during our testing period. This refers to how well a bed can absorb movement and the slow-moving foams of the Zinus simply eat up motion. If your partner tosses and turns, we don’t think you’ll feel it on the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress.

As well as hands-on testing, we used a series of drop tests to get an objective measurement of motion isolation. We placed a wine glass on the mattress and measured 25, 10 and four inches away. We then dropped a 10lb weight from six inches high onto the mattress from these set distances.

The wine glass didn’t fall over in any of our tests (Image credit: Future)

The Zinus performed superbly. From 25 inches, the glass didn’t budge and at 10 inches we observed only the slightest movement. From four inches, there was a more pronounced wobble but the glass remained upright.

This places the Zinus among some of the best mattresses we’ve tested in terms of motion isolation. It’s on par with the Nectar Premier and Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Cloud mattress, which are both significantly pricier.

Thanks to this superior motion isolation, we expect the Zinus to be a good mattress for couples. Even the most restless bed partner shouldn’t disrupt your sleep.

Motion isolation score: 4.5 out of 5

EGOHOME Memory Foam Mattress, from a similar price bracket to the Zinus, delivered a similar performance in terms of temperature control.

However, the soft, dense foams of the Zinus have a tendency to absorb heat and as you sink into the mattress, that heat can’t escape. Zinus uses a green tea infusion for “freshness” but beyond that, there’s little in the way of cooling tech. And to be honest, we’re skeptical the green tea made any difference.

The Zinus Mattress could get warm on hot nights (Image credit: Future)

But there’s a caveat: our testing period coincided with some of the hottest nights of year so we predict a cooler feel over winter. And despite the warmth our tester didn’t wake up in the night. That means for most people, the Zinus should retain a comfortable feel, particularly if you opt for breathable bedding.

Hot sleepers, however, should consider one of the best cooling mattresses. The Cocoon by Sealy Chill Mattress is more expensive but it has better heat dissipation (and it’s on the cheap side for a dedicated cooling bed.)

Temperature regulation score: 3 out of 5

Edge support describes the sturdiness of the mattress perimeter and our testers agree this is one area where the Zinus falls short. The sides are medium-soft, meaning when you sit on the edge, it sinks beneath you.

Our testing panel found it difficult to sit or lie close to the side of the Zinus mattress, which minimizes the usable surface area. One night our lead tester knocked a cushion to the floor and when she leaned over the side to pick it up, nearly slid right off.

Sitting on the edge of the mattress was better but still slightly precarious. This could be an issue for those with mobility issues: a member of our testing panel has weak knees and struggled to push off the Zinus from a sitting position.

(Image credit: Future)

Admittedly, this is an area where the best hybrid mattresses perform best — the addition of springs add a supportive boost to the sides. But some cheaper all-foam beds can offer good motion isolation but this does tend to be a feature of firmer beds. The EGOHOME and Siena are good examples.

In addition to our subjective testing, we completed an objective support test by balancing a 50lb kettlebell on the edge of the mattress. Or, at least, we attempted to. It was impossible to get the weight to balance close to the sides. In the end, we had to place it roughly eight inches from the edge before it balanced for any extended period.

Edge support score: 2.5 out of 5

mattresses on Amazon and a fixture of the best-sellers list. So there are a lot of reviews to comb through.

As of October 2025, the Zinus 10” Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress has a rating of 4.1 out of 5 from over 163,000 reviews. However, many of these reviews are for different heights. There are also more than 1,800 reviews on the Zinus website, but again, many of these are for a different model.

Customers have praised the pressure relief and plush feel of the mattress, with many commenting on how the Zinus helped soothe hip and back pain. Reviewers have also been impressed with the balance of support and cushioning, particularly for the price. The inexpensive price was a major selling point among top reviews, with many pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Zinus in comparison to other cheap beds.

The main criticisms are towards the edge support, with some customers finding it difficult to sleep near the side of the bed. Other customers have questioned the durability, with some noticing sagging after only limited use. This isn’t an issue we’ve spotted with our model, but we expect decreased longevity from a budget mattress.

Should you buy the Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress?

The Zinus Green Tea Memory Foam Mattress is a sink-in memory foam bed with exceptional pressure relief and an attractively low price. With a queen typically setting you back under $500 (cheaper, if you shop third-party), this budget-friendly mattress is an excellent choice for side sleepers and guest rooms.

The dense all-foam build offers body-hugging comfort while also absorbing motion to keep bed sharers snoozing happily. However, a lack of cooling features means those foams also hold onto heat, making for some potentially sweaty nights. Edge support is also a problem, as the sagging sides can lead to an awkward sinking feel if you lie or sit on the edge.

Overall, the Zinus Memory Foam Mattress is best for side sleepers on a tight budget, although it’s comfortable enough in the short term to make a good guest bed choice. But a lack of cooling features and poor edge support means if you can afford a mid-range bed, it’s worth upgrading.

Pi Network’s New Vision: From Currency to the Steam of Web3 Gaming

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T19:43:18+02:00November 14, 2025|News, NFT News|0 Comments

Pi Network has announced a bold new vision that could redefine its role in the cryptocurrency and Web3 landscape. What began as a mobile-first mining project is now evolving into a global gaming hub. With ambitions to become the “Steam of Web3,” Pi Network aims to create a decentralized ecosystem for gamers and developers. Backed by a community of over 70 million pioneers, the foundation for the future of Web3 gaming is already in place. This strategic shift highlights Pi’s commitment to building real utility and expanding beyond its origins as a digital currency.

Background on Pi Network

Founded with the mission of democratizing cryptocurrency, Pi Network allows users to mine coins directly from their mobile devices. This mobile-first approach lowered barriers to entry, enabling millions of people worldwide to participate in the digital economy. Over the years, Pi Network has grown into one of the largest grassroots crypto communities, with pioneers actively mining, building, and contributing to the ecosystem.

While Pi Network initially focused on mining and community building, its vision has expanded to include decentralized applications, governance mechanisms, and financial services. The latest announcement—transforming Pi into a Web3 gaming hub—marks a significant milestone in its evolution.

From Currency to Gaming Hub

Pi Network’s new vision positions it as more than just a cryptocurrency. By aspiring to become the “Steam of Web3,” Pi Network aims to create a platform where gamers and developers can interact, innovate, and thrive. Steam, the world’s largest digital distribution platform for PC gaming, serves as a model for Pi’s ambitions. However, Pi’s approach is rooted in decentralization, ensuring that control and value are distributed across the community.

This transformation expands Pi’s utility beyond financial transactions, integrating entertainment, creativity, and innovation into its ecosystem. By combining currency with gaming, Pi Network creates a unique value proposition that appeals to both crypto enthusiasts and gamers.

The Role of Developers

Developers are central to Pi Network’s vision of becoming a Web3 gaming hub. The platform empowers developers to create decentralized applications, launch tokens, and build games that leverage Pi Coin as a native asset. By providing tools and resources, Pi Network lowers barriers for developers, encouraging innovation and collaboration.

This developer-centric approach ensures that Pi’s ecosystem evolves organically, driven by creativity and community contributions. It also positions Pi Network as a platform capable of supporting diverse applications, from casual games to complex decentralized gaming economies.

The Power of Community

With over 70 million pioneers worldwide, Pi Network’s community provides a strong foundation for its gaming ambitions. Community engagement has always been central to Pi’s success, with pioneers mining Pi daily, inviting friends, and contributing to the ecosystem’s growth. The transition to a gaming hub adds a new dimension to community participation, enabling users to engage with games, support developers, and shape the future of the ecosystem.

The size and enthusiasm of Pi’s community give it a competitive advantage. Few projects in the crypto industry can match Pi’s grassroots support, making it uniquely positioned to succeed in the Web3 gaming space.

Decentralization and Gaming

Decentralization is a core principle of Pi Network’s vision. By building a decentralized gaming ecosystem, Pi ensures that control and value are distributed across the community rather than concentrated in centralized institutions. This approach empowers gamers and developers, giving them ownership of their assets and participation in governance.

Decentralization also enhances resilience. By distributing control across millions of users, Pi Network minimizes the risks associated with centralized failures or manipulation. This makes the gaming ecosystem more robust and adaptable to changing circumstances.

Professional Analysis

From a professional perspective, Pi Network’s vision of becoming the “Steam of Web3” is ambitious and transformative. By integrating gaming into its ecosystem, Pi expands its utility and appeal, attracting new users and developers. The combination of currency and gaming creates a unique value proposition that differentiates Pi from other crypto projects.

However, challenges remain. Pi Network must demonstrate real-world utility, establish liquidity, and secure partnerships with developers and gaming studios. The success of the project will depend on its ability to deliver tangible results and maintain transparency. The enthusiasm of the community is a powerful asset, but long-term success will require continued innovation and collaboration.

Implications for Web3 and DeFi

Pi Network’s gaming vision has significant implications for Web3 and decentralized finance. By integrating gaming with currency, Pi creates opportunities for DeFi applications such as in-game trading, lending, and staking. Gamers can use Pi Coin to purchase assets, participate in decentralized marketplaces, and engage in financial activities within the gaming ecosystem.

This integration enhances Pi’s credibility and positions it as a serious contender in the crypto industry. As developers and pioneers continue to build applications, Pi Network’s ecosystem will gain new functionalities that drive adoption and utility.

Building Real Utility

Beyond speculation, Pi Network is committed to building real utility. The gaming hub vision provides tangible use cases for Pi Coin, ensuring that its growth is driven by meaningful contributions rather than short-term speculation. By focusing on practical applications, Pi Network positions itself as a project capable of delivering lasting value to its community.

Real utility is essential for long-term sustainability. By integrating gaming into its ecosystem, Pi Network ensures that its growth is both inclusive and transformative, creating opportunities for users and developers worldwide.

The Future of Pi Network

As Pi Network continues to evolve, its vision of becoming the “Steam of Web3” becomes increasingly clear. By empowering developers, building real utility, and leveraging its massive community, Pi Network positions itself as a project capable of redefining the role of cryptocurrency in the digital economy.

The journey is far from over. Pi Network must continue to overcome challenges, deliver on its promises, and expand its ecosystem. However, the enthusiasm of its community and the strength of its vision provide a solid foundation for future success.

Conclusion

Buyers remain interested on US economic uncertainty

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T19:22:17+02:00November 14, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments

EUR/USD rose nearly 0.4% and closed the third consecutive day in positive territory on Thursday. The pair fluctuates in a tight channel above 1.1600 in the European morning on Friday and remains on track to post weekly gains.

The US Dollar (USD) continued to weaken against its major rivals on Thursday as cautious remarks on further policy easing, combined with a lack of clarity on how the data backlog that built up during the government shutdown will be handled, fed into concerns over the economic outlook.

Federal Reserve (Fed) Bank of St. Louis President Alberto Musalem said that he expects the labor market to stay around full employment and added that they need to proceed with caution now. Meanwhile, Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari reiterated that inflation is still too high.

According to the CME FedWatch Tool, markets are currently pricing in about a 52% probability of a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut in December.

The economic calendar will not offer any high-impact data releases that could trigger a noticeable market reaction. Hence, investors will continue to pay close attention to remarks from Fed officials.

Although hawkish remarks are usually seen as supportive for the USD, investors could refrain from betting on a steady recovery in the currency until they have a better idea about what kind of shape the US economy is in the shutdown aftermath.

EUR/USD Technical Analysis

In the 4-hour chart, EUR/USD trades at 1.1637, little changed on a daily basis. The Simple Moving Averages (SMA) tilt higher at the short end, with the 20- and 50-period lines rising as price trades above all key averages. The 100-period SMA is turning up, while the 200-period SMA extends a mild decline. The 20-period SMA at 1.1598 offers nearby dynamic support. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits at 67.7, near overbought and consistent with firm bullish momentum. Measured from the 1.1885 high to the 1.1471 low, resistance comes at the 50% retracement at 1.1678 and the 61.8% retracement at 1.1727.

Support is seen at 1.1551, then at 1.1451. As long as the pair holds above the rising short-term averages, the bias would remain upward and a break through initial Fibonacci resistance could extend the advance toward higher retracement objectives. Conversely, loss of the nearby dynamic support would slow the upside and risk a pullback toward the stated horizontal levels.

Euro FAQs

The Euro is the currency for the 20 European Union countries that belong to the Eurozone. It is the second most heavily traded currency in the world behind the US Dollar. In 2022, it accounted for 31% of all foreign exchange transactions, with an average daily turnover of over $2.2 trillion a day.
EUR/USD is the most heavily traded currency pair in the world, accounting for an estimated 30% off all transactions, followed by EUR/JPY (4%), EUR/GBP (3%) and EUR/AUD (2%).

The European Central Bank (ECB) in Frankfurt, Germany, is the reserve bank for the Eurozone. The ECB sets interest rates and manages monetary policy.
The ECB’s primary mandate is to maintain price stability, which means either controlling inflation or stimulating growth. Its primary tool is the raising or lowering of interest rates. Relatively high interest rates – or the expectation of higher rates – will usually benefit the Euro and vice versa.
The ECB Governing Council makes monetary policy decisions at meetings held eight times a year. Decisions are made by heads of the Eurozone national banks and six permanent members, including the President of the ECB, Christine Lagarde.

Eurozone inflation data, measured by the Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), is an important econometric for the Euro. If inflation rises more than expected, especially if above the ECB’s 2% target, it obliges the ECB to raise interest rates to bring it back under control.
Relatively high interest rates compared to its counterparts will usually benefit the Euro, as it makes the region more attractive as a place for global investors to park their money.

Data releases gauge the health of the economy and can impact on the Euro. Indicators such as GDP, Manufacturing and Services PMIs, employment, and consumer sentiment surveys can all influence the direction of the single currency.
A strong economy is good for the Euro. Not only does it attract more foreign investment but it may encourage the ECB to put up interest rates, which will directly strengthen the Euro. Otherwise, if economic data is weak, the Euro is likely to fall.
Economic data for the four largest economies in the euro area (Germany, France, Italy and Spain) are especially significant, as they account for 75% of the Eurozone’s economy.

Another significant data release for the Euro is the Trade Balance. This indicator measures the difference between what a country earns from its exports and what it spends on imports over a given period.
If a country produces highly sought after exports then its currency will gain in value purely from the extra demand created from foreign buyers seeking to purchase these goods. Therefore, a positive net Trade Balance strengthens a currency and vice versa for a negative balance.

CRN moves ahead after court refuses to halt NY supplement sales law

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T19:09:18+02:00November 14, 2025|Dietary Supplements News, News|0 Comments

WASHINGTON — The Council for Responsible Nutrition said it will continue its constitutional challenge to New York’s under-18 supplement sales restrictions after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit declined to grant a preliminary injunction, leaving the law in effect during the legal process.

CRN emphasized that the ruling does not address the merits of its First Amendment claims, which argue the law unlawfully targets truthful, lawful marketing by restricting sales of supplements labeled or promoted for weight loss or muscle building. The association maintains that the statute regulates speech rather than safety by using marketing as a proxy for potential harm, despite a lack of evidence linking dietary supplements to eating disorders or body dysmorphia.

In its response, CRN reiterated that the case remains ongoing and emphasized its confidence in the strength of its constitutional arguments. The group referenced a 2022 review published in Nutrients, which found no causal link between supplement use and disordered eating behaviors, and warned that policies based on unfounded assumptions could undermine legitimate health and wellness practices.

New York’s law, enacted in 2023 and effective since April 2024, was the first in the nation to restrict minors’ access to supplements marketed for weight loss and muscle building. Similar proposals are moving forward in other states, prompting CRN to raise broader concerns about regulatory overreach and the erosion of commercial free speech rights as it continues its legal battle.

Why is BTC price USD down today: Crypto crash: Why bitcoin price dropped after record $126,000 and why Citi predicts BTC USD could hit $181,000

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T19:03:19+02:00November 14, 2025|Crypto News, News|0 Comments

Bitcoin price today: Bitcoin (BTC), the world’s largest cryptocurrency, has hit a rough stretch after reaching an all-time high of more than $126,000 in early October, the token slid sharply, dropping back toward the $100,000 level and even dipping briefly into bear-market territory, as per a report.

Bitcoin Price USD Update: Citi Analysts Point to Liquidity Pressures

Many investors initially blamed fewer expected Federal Reserve rate cuts for the pullback. But analysts at Citigroup say the real reason may lie elsewhere, and despite the recent slump, they remain optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term path, as per The Motley Fool report.

According to Citi strategists led by Dirk Willer, the recent decline appears linked to falling liquidity in the US financial system rather than interest rate expectations, as per the report.

BTC Price USD: How Falling Bank Reserves Are Dragging Bitcoin Lower

The bank highlights two key factors: bank reserves held at the Federal Reserve and the US Treasury’s General Account (TGA), which acts as the government’s main checking account, as per The Motley Fool report. The TGA and bank reserves generally move in opposite directions, and as the TGA swelled this year, bank reserves dropped, as per the report.

Willer explained that Bitcoin is especially sensitive to liquidity changes, saying, “Traditionally, falling reserves have also impacted equities negatively, but this did not happen prior to this week. But it is plausible that bitcoin is a more sensitive instrument for pure liquidity, especially with equities caught up in the fundamentally driven AI narrative,” as quoted by The Motley Fool.ALSO READ: Synopsys layoffs: Silicon Valley chip-design giant to sack 2,800 jobs as turbulence spreads

Bitcoin Price Movement: How Fed’s Quantitative Tightening Has Affected Crypto

The Federal Reserve’s ongoing quantitative tightening has also pulled money out of the financial system, as per the report. Bank reserves have declined notably since 2022, and Bitcoin’s price has shown a clear correlation with that drop, according to The Motley Fool.

Cryptocurrency Forecast: Why Citi Remains Bullish on Bitcoin Despite Recent Pullback

There are indications that liquidity pressures may start to ease.

The Federal Reserve has signaled it will stop tapering its balance sheet in December, suggesting bank reserves are nearing what it considers “ample” levels, reported The Motley Fool.

After the debt ceiling was raised earlier in 2025, the TGA was temporarily drained but has since been replenished, reaching more than $940 billion as of November 5, and Citi views this level as sufficient, as per the report.

With these shifts, Citi expects liquidity to stabilize and potentially improve, as Willer said, “This would suggest that liquidity conditions should improve going forward, which should support bitcoin, and could also get the NDX (Nasdaq 100) Santa rally back on track,” as quoted by The Motley Fool.

BTC Price USD Outlook: Citi Still Sees Bitcoin Hitting $181,000

Despite the recent downturn, Citi remains bullish. In October, the bank issued a 12-month price target of $181,000 for Bitcoin, driven by its rising status as a store of value and the ongoing “digital gold” narrative, as per the report.

FAQs

Why is the Bitcoin price falling today?
Citi analysts say the drop is mainly due to falling liquidity in the US financial system.

What is Bitcoin’s price prediction according to Citi?
Citi expects Bitcoin to recover and potentially reach $181,000 in the next year.

Revenues of $22.5 million, Operating Income of $9 million, and CEO Transition

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T17:42:19+02:00November 14, 2025|News, NFT News|0 Comments

Revenues and Operating Income: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies reported revenue of $22.5 million for the quarter. Operating Income was $9 million, reflecting strong profitability from core operations. These results underscore the Company’s robust operational performance and sustained revenue growth.
Substantial Growth in AUM: Valour’s asset-management business reported approximately $989.1 million in AUM as of September 30, 2025, up from $772.9 million as of June 30, 2025, reflecting accelerating investor demand and growth of digital asset prices.
Continued Inflows: Valour achieved net inflows into its ETP products every month during the period, totaling $38.8 million for the quarter and year-to-date inflows to $116.2 million as of September 30, 2025.
2025 Revenue Guidance: The Company is revising its previously announced 2025 revenue guidance from $218.6 million to $116.6 million. This adjustment reflects a delay in executing DeFi Alpha arbitrage opportunities as a result of the proliferation of digital asset treasury companies and the consolidation of digital asset prices in the latter half of 2025, which has temporarily reduced arbitrage activity and compressed available trading spreads. With a strong balance sheet, bolstered by the recent $100 million equity financing, the Company is well positioned to compete for future high-margin arbitrage opportunities as market conditions evolve.
CEO Transition: Valour and DeFi Technologies Co-Founder Johan Wattenström will assume the role of CEO and Executive Chairman of DeFi Technologies, while Olivier Roussy Newton will remain as a Strategic Advisor.

TORONTO, Nov. 14, 2025/PRNewswire/ – DeFi Technologies Inc. (the “Company” or “DeFi Technologies“) (Nasdaq: DEFT) (CBOE CA: DEFI) (GR: R9B), a financial technology company bridging the gap between traditional capital markets and decentralized finance (“DeFi“), announces its financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2025. All dollar amounts referred to in this press release are in U.S. Dollars unless otherwise stated.

Financial Highlights

Revenue: Revenues of $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025, compared to $28.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024. While revenues from staking and lending income, trading commissions and management fees all increased due to higher AUM, total revenues decreased due to lower revenues from realized and net change in unrealized gains (losses) on digital assets and ETPs. These revenues fluctuate with market conditions, in particular, the fluctuation of digital asset prices. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, were $80 million compared to $51.3 million in the comparative nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting increased profitability from the growth in AUM on a year-to-date basis.
Operating Income: Operating Income of $9 million in Q3 2025, down from $14.4 million in Q3 2024 due to revenues decreasing by $5.6 million from the comparative quarter. Operating income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, was $39.4 million compared to an operating loss of $1.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, reflecting improved profitability given our AUM growth.
Valour Staking/Lending & Management Fees: In Q3 2025, Valour Inc. and Valour Digital Securities Limited (together, “Valour“) generated staking and lending income of $7.4 million and management fees of $2.8 million, both improving from the $6.5 million and $1.5 million in Q3 2024 due to higher AUM.
Stillman Digital: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Stillman Digital generated trading commissions of $2.2 million in revenue. Stillman was acquired in Q4 2024 and thus was not owned in the comparative quarter in 2024.
Reflexivity Research: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Reflexivity Research generated research revenues of $109,500 down from $468,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2024. Management is focused on reinvigorating this business unit while its research product continues to support Valour’s ETP business growth.
Venture Portfolio: The Company’s eight private venture investments had a fair value of $44 million as of September 30, 2025.
Advisory Revenue: For the three months ended September 30, 2025, the new DeFi Advisory business generated revenues of $192,407 from two clients. This is a new business line started by the Company during the third quarter.
Share Buybacks: The Company repurchased 935,900 shares for a total of $2,444,880 (approximately $2.61 per share). The Company will continue to repurchase shares in the open market opportunistically.

Cash and Treasury Position

Cash Balance: As of September 30, 2025, DeFi Technologies’ consolidated cash balance stood at $119.5 million.
Treasury Holdings: As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s holdings included a mix of digital asset tokens, totaling approximately $46.2 million.

Total value of cash and digital asset treasury: $165.7 million as of September 30, 2025. The Company regularly monitors its cash and digital asset reserves on a consolidated basis, and as part of this review, it has allocated a portion of its digital asset treasury reserve for the purposes of hedging the market risk of its ETPs. This approach reflects both prudent treasury management and a disciplined use of capital—strengthening the balance sheet while directly supporting the performance and resilience of the Company’s ETP platform. By holding a diversified mix of cash and digital assets, DeFi Technologies can better manage volatility, protect against adverse market conditions, and capitalize on market opportunities as they arise.

Comment from the CEO, Olivier Roussy Newton:

“Q3 2025 was another milestone quarter for DeFi Technologies and a testament to the strength and scalability of our platform. We delivered revenues of $22.5 million and operating income of $9 million, marking another profitable quarter. With average AUM exceeding $900 million per month in the third quarter, the highest quarterly average in history, and net inflows every month year-to-date, we continue to demonstrate the power of our integrated asset management and trading ecosystem.

Beyond the numbers, this quarter reinforced our position as a true institutional bridge between traditional finance and decentralized markets. Valour’s product expansion and consistent inflows, Stillman’s growing institutional footprint, and our disciplined capital allocation all speak to a company operating at scale. From a business perspective, DeFi Technologies has never been stronger — financially, operationally, and strategically. Our $165.7 million balance sheet gives us the flexibility to launch new structured products and funds, accelerate the rollout of SovFi and other hybridized DeFi–TradFi products, and pursue strategic investments and potential M&A that enhance long-term shareholder value.

I’m immensely proud of what our team has built. Over the past three years, we’ve scaled Valour’s ETP platform, executed targeted acquisitions, institutionalized our operations, and delivered record financial results. With Johan Wattenström stepping in as CEO and Executive Chairman, I’m confident DeFi Technologies is entering its next phase of growth stronger than ever. My focus now turns to advancing post-quantum solutions at BTQ Technologies, which is critical for the survival of the digital asset space while continuing as a cornerstone shareholder, partner, and advisor to ensure continuity of vision and execution as DeFi Technologies builds the future of digital finance.”

Comment from Incoming CEO, Johan Wattenstrom:

“Olivier and I have built this company together from the ground up. I’m grateful for his leadership and friendship, and I look forward to leading DeFi Technologies into its next phase of growth. We will continue to scale our ETP platform globally, expand our trading operations both internally and through Stillman Digital, and continue to bridge traditional capital markets with the digital asset ecosystem.”

Outlook for 2025

The outlook of the Company and for each business segment that follows supersedes all prior financial outlook statements made by the Company, constitutes forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable securities laws, and is based on a number of assumptions and subject to a number of risks. Actual results could vary materially as a result of numerous factors, including certain risk factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. Please see “Cautionary note regarding forward-looking information” and “Financial Outlook Assumptions” below for more information.

DeFi Technologies Outlook for 2025

As of September 30, 2025, Valour’s ETP business reported US$989.1 million in AUM. This growth has been supported by favorable market conditions, the launch of new ETPs, and strategic corporate initiatives, including Defi Alpha, that have boosted both trading activity and overall financial performance.

Revenue from staking and lending, management fees, and mark-to-market changes in digital assets and ETP payables has remained closely correlated with both the level of capital inflow into Valour’s products and the performance of the underlying digital assets, which continued to appreciate into the latter half of 2025. Additionally, Valour continues to seek and optimize revenue-generating opportunities of its digital asset holdings. Based on current performance, digital asset price levels and market trends, the Company’s annualized revenue for 2025 is forecasted at approximately $116.6 million. The reduction of the Company’s annualized revenue forecast for 2025 from $218.6 million is primarily due to a delay in executing DeFi Alpha arbitrage opportunities previously forecasted due to the proliferation of digital asset treasury companies and the consolidation in digital asset price movement in the latter half of 2025. The Company believes that with its strong balance sheet, bolstered by the recent $100 million equity financing, it stands ready to effectively compete for future profitable arbitrage opportunities. Continued growth in AUM, combined with opportunistic DeFi Alpha trade revenue, may lead to proportional increases in revenue going forward. The Company will provide 2026 revenue guidance when it files its 2025 annual results.

Valour Asset Management

In Q3 2025, Valour continued to advance its global growth strategy, reinforcing its leadership in the regulated digital asset ETP space. Valour has now met its forecast of 100 ETPs listed across European and UK exchanges. Valour continues to develop a strong pipeline of digital assets ETPs, including leveraged and warrant ETPs, alongside innovative single-asset and thematic baskets—broadening product diversity and meeting the growing demand for secure, regulated digital asset exposure.

Beyond Europe, Valour is executing a deliberate expansion into high-growth regions, including Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and other emerging markets.

Strategic Considerations for Growth

Valour’s expansion strategy integrates cross-listings, market-making, FX considerations, localized marketing, and partnerships with regional institutional players. This approach is designed to address the complexities of entering new jurisdictions, from navigating diverse regulatory frameworks to ensuring liquidity and cultural alignment. In markets where digital asset regulation remains nascent, Valour is positioning itself as a trailblazer, shaping market standards while building brand trust.

The Company expects additional listings to come online in the months ahead, supported by a robust pipeline extending into 2026. Strategic locations yet to be announced will further advance Valour’s mission to bridge traditional securities with the digital asset ecosystem.

Strong Investor Demand

Valour’s ETP business has seen tremendous growth over the past three years. In 2024, total inflows reached US$124.4 million, more than doubling 2023’s US$49.5 million and tripling 2022’s US$38.4 million. This momentum has carried into 2025, with inflows reaching US$116.2 million as of September 2025. The sustained growth highlights Valour’s strengthened market position and its ability to capture significant capital flows in the current digital asset environment.

Stillman Digital

Stillman Digital has delivered strong performance since joining the DeFi Technologies portfolio, generating $6.1M in revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and forecast to close 2025 with approximately $8.6 M in revenue on strong trading volumes with margins in the 25-50% range. Stillman’s business is robust across the crypto price cycle.

Stillman Digital’s strategic priorities include a continued focus on expanding business development efforts, enhancing global reach, and deepening capabilities in key areas such as foreign exchange and stablecoin services.

Stillman is also focused on building out its distribution infrastructure through initiatives like Finery, Hidden Road Partners, and the Circle Alliance Program. Importantly, the Company is experiencing consistent growth in trading volume and its number of active customers, reflecting increasing market demand and engagement.

Strategic Focus:

Business Development: A primary focus for Stillman Digital continues to be the expansion of its business development team to accelerate the acquisition of new institutional clients. The company is also intensifying efforts to penetrate international markets, particularly in Latin America and Europe.
Product and Market Expansion: Stillman Digital plans to enhance its product offerings, particularly in FX and stablecoin services. These offerings will help hedge against altcoin volatility and further diversify its revenue streams.
Strategic Partnerships: Continuing to expand global banking relationships is a key priority for Stillman Digital, with ongoing efforts to partner with new aggregators and ECNs. Additionally, deepening existing partnerships with institutions like Bank Frick, Talos, and Fireblocks will broaden client access and facilitate more seamless fiat transactions.
Team Growth: Recent hires, including new backend developers and a Head of Trading with a background in astrophysics and quantitative trading, are expected to drive innovation and improve trading strategies. These additions will allow Stillman Digital to continue outperforming market benchmarks with new principal trading strategies.

Looking ahead, Stillman Digital is well-positioned to accelerate its growth into 2026, leveraging DeFi Technologies’ support and strategic resources to unlock new opportunities and continue expanding its global footprint.

DeFi Alpha

The Company continues to assess and execute on arbitrage opportunities through its specialized trading desk, DeFi Alpha. In May 2025, DeFi Alpha made one locked token trade with a $23.8 million discount, which will be realized over 3 years if the SUI price is $3.51 per token or higher at maturity. A second locked token trade was executed in November 2025 with a $3.2 million discount that will be realized over 3 years if the SOL price is $167 per token or higher at maturity.

This strategy has significantly strengthened the Company’s financial position, enabling debt repayment and supporting the ongoing expansion of its digital asset treasury. With the proliferation of digital asset treasury companies in the latter half of 2025, the Company experienced delays in its pipeline of arbitrage opportunities and compressed arbitrage profits. However, given the volatility in the digital asset market, the Company believes that with its strong balance sheet, bolstered by the recent $100 million equity financing, it stands ready to effectively compete for future profitable arbitrage opportunities.

The DeFi Alpha strategy has proven to be a pivotal driver of DeFi Technologies’ financial resilience, enhancing the Company’s position in an ever-evolving digital asset landscape. Through its arbitrage-focused approach, DeFi Alpha has strengthened the Company’s financial foundation, enabling debt repayment while supporting the deployment of a robust digital asset treasury strategy. This strategic model has proven effective in mitigating risks while maximizing returns, even in the face of market volatility.

Strategic Focus and Competitive Edge: DeFi Alpha was designed to capitalize on the Company’s balance sheet through both systematic and opportunistic trading strategies. The approach uniquely positions DeFi Alpha to take advantage of market opportunities while leveraging its balance sheet advantages. Many of the trades pursued are exclusive, backed by strong partnerships and significant holdings tied to ETPs, making these opportunities largely inaccessible to other firms. This exclusivity, combined with efficient execution in low-competition areas, is what gives DeFi Alpha its strategic edge in the market.

XAU/USD dips below $4,150 as the US Dollar picks up

By Editorial team of BIPNs|2025-11-14T17:34:19+02:00November 14, 2025|Forex News, News|0 Comments

Gold (XAU/USD) is heading lower on a choppy trading session on Friday, weighed by a firmer US Dollar amid the risk-averse sentiment. The Precious metal has broken below a previous resistance area, at $4,150 ahead of the US session opening, reaching intraday lows near $4,130 so far.
Furthermore
The Greenback is trimming some losses on Friday as market sentiment soured with European equity markets in the red, following the track of Wall Street and Asia. Furthermore, the hawkish comments from Fed officials have prompted investors to pare back hopes of Fed easing in December, which has provided some support to the US Dollar.

Technical Analysis: Bears eye the $4,100 support level

XAU/USD 4-Hour Chart

From a technical perspective, the lower high printed earlier on Thursday, coupled with the dip on the 4-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is flirting with the 50 level at the time of writing, and the bearish cross on the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD), is acting as a warning for buyers.

Below $4,150 (November 11 high, Thursday’s low), the next support level is at the $4,100 area, where the November 11,12 lows meet the trendline support from early November lows. Further down, a previous resistance area at $4,050 (October 31 highs) will come into focus.

Immediate resistance is at the daily high of $4,210, ahead of Thursday’s high, near $4,245. Bulls would need to break above these levels to resume the upside trend and shift their views towards the all-time highs around $4,380 (the highs of October 20 and 21).

Gold FAQs

Gold has played a key role in human’s history as it has been widely used as a store of value and medium of exchange. Currently, apart from its shine and usage for jewelry, the precious metal is widely seen as a safe-haven asset, meaning that it is considered a good investment during turbulent times. Gold is also widely seen as a hedge against inflation and against depreciating currencies as it doesn’t rely on any specific issuer or government.

Central banks are the biggest Gold holders. In their aim to support their currencies in turbulent times, central banks tend to diversify their reserves and buy Gold to improve the perceived strength of the economy and the currency. High Gold reserves can be a source of trust for a country’s solvency. Central banks added 1,136 tonnes of Gold worth around $70 billion to their reserves in 2022, according to data from the World Gold Council. This is the highest yearly purchase since records began. Central banks from emerging economies such as China, India and Turkey are quickly increasing their Gold reserves.

Gold has an inverse correlation with the US Dollar and US Treasuries, which are both major reserve and safe-haven assets. When the Dollar depreciates, Gold tends to rise, enabling investors and central banks to diversify their assets in turbulent times. Gold is also inversely correlated with risk assets. A rally in the stock market tends to weaken Gold price, while sell-offs in riskier markets tend to favor the precious metal.

The price can move due to a wide range of factors. Geopolitical instability or fears of a deep recession can quickly make Gold price escalate due to its safe-haven status. As a yield-less asset, Gold tends to rise with lower interest rates, while higher cost of money usually weighs down on the yellow metal. Still, most moves depend on how the US Dollar (USD) behaves as the asset is priced in dollars (XAU/USD). A strong Dollar tends to keep the price of Gold controlled, whereas a weaker Dollar is likely to push Gold prices up.

The EURJPY is surrounded by the positive pressures– Forecast today – 14-11-2025

Copper price trading fluctuated in its last intraday trading, amid the dominance of bearish corrective wave on the short-term basis, affected by breaking minor bullish trendline, besides the continuation of the negative pressure due to its trading below EMA50, reducing the chance of the price recovery on the near-term basis, especially with the emergence of negative overlapping signals on the relative strength indicators, after reaching overbought levels, exaggeratedly compared to the price move, indicating the beginning of forming negative divergence, intensifying the negative pressure.

Therefore, our expectations suggest a decline in copper price’s upcoming intraday trading, especially if it settles below $5.1375, targeting the key support at $5.0885 and there are strong chances of breaking it.

The expected trading range for today is between $5.0885 and$5.1590
