We have some of the top crypto things you might have missed during Thanksgiving week!

Most of the crypto market was down earlier this week, and it could be due to the streak of inflows for spot Bitcoin ETFs coming to an end with $438 million in outflows on Monday. Key players like Bitwise’s BITB and Grayscale’s GBTC led the withdrawals, while BlackRock’s IBIT had positive flows with $267.8 million in inflows. Despite the dip to $94,500, Bitcoin trading volume reached $5.6 billion.
Donald Trump is reportedly holding $5.4 million in crypto, mostly Ethereum. And Tron founder Justin Sun is making headlines again, this time with a $30 million investment in World Liberty Financial, Trump’s family DeFi project.
