Something's off with Ethereum, and nobody wants to talk about it.

You'd think with Bitcoin breaking above $90K and the whole market riding high after Trump's win, ETH would be right there celebrating too.

But nope. The second-largest crypto is sitting at $3,100 (after hitting ~3,400), looking like it just isolated itself.

That's ~44% below its best days - and the silence from the Ethereum community? Pretty awkward.

Even the big money seems to be giving ETH the cold shoulder. While they're throwing billions at Bitcoin ETFs, Ethereum's barely getting any attention.

And in a market where even meme coins are breaking records? That's... concerning.

So what's really going on? Let's make sense of it all! Here is a quick rundown of the top headlines from the past 24 hours:

• A "Check your DMs" tweet from a16z sent an AI CTO token soaring 50%. But why would a16z be interested in a month-old AI project? 🤔

• Options Clearing Corporation is prepping for official Bitcoin ETF options trading by Nov 19. But are we ready for another wave of institutional money, or is this going to be another "sell the news" event? 📈

• MicroStrategy just bought another 51,780 Bitcoin ($4.6B) and wants $1.75B more. With 1% of all Bitcoin under their control, are they becoming too big to fail? 🐋

• The "Crypto Queen" Razzlekhan gets 18 months for laundering $10.8B in Bitcoin while writing articles about... preventing crypto crime. How did someone so public manage to hide such massive transactions for so long? 🕵️

• Bitcoin ETFs hit $138B in total assets with $1.67B flowing in last week alone. But why are Ethereum ETFs struggling to attract such attention? 💰

Let's dive in!

A two-word X post just transformed an AI project's trajectory.

When AI16Z's founder casually reached out to a16z's CTO lead Eddy Lazzarin on X, the response was simple: "Check your DMs." That's all it took for the markets to react.

The token, which powers a DAO run by an AI agent named Eliza, surged 50% in mere hours. That's a $480 million market cap for a project that launched just last month.

So is it official? The CTO is being assisted by a16z? Read the full story!

TradFi is about to add another crypto tool to its arsenal.

The Options Clearing Corporation (OCC) just announced they're ready to handle options trading for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Translation? You might soon be able to trade options on BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) - possibly as early as Nov. 19.
