Executive scan
The early desk has several pressure points to sort before the U.S. session: Bitcoin spot ETFs logged $412 million in net outflows on Nov. 6, with BlackRock clients accounting for $403 million in reported Bitcoin sales. CryptoSlate also flags Bitcoin stress around realized losses, exchange selling and a brief plunge tied to worsening macro anxiety.
Policy and legal risk is busy rather than abstract. Greece approved a 10% crypto gains tax and 15% levy on staking, lending and DeFi income, while Binance France is set to close customer accounts by year-end and charge fees on idle balances from Nov. 29. Elsewhere, Moscow Exchange plans a Dec. 1 Bitcoin and Ethereum trading pilot, and a former FBI agent pleaded guilty to stealing nearly $2.5 million in crypto across 35 cases.
