Santiment noted that investors see privacy as a growing crypto theme, driven by projects like Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR).<\/p>\n<p>Bitwise\u2019s Spot DOGE ETF filing caused optimism for Dogecoin (DOGE). Other altcoins posting strong gains include SOON, ICP, and FIL.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy coins are showing signs of a potential altcoin season driven by privacy concerns and institutional interest, according to Santiment\u2019s analysis.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GTA delay dampens market sentiment<\/h2>\n<p>Rockstar Games pushed Grand Theft Auto VI\u2019s release to November 19, 2026. The delay disappointed investors and caused selling pressure in Take-Two Interactive shares.<\/p>\n<p>Polymarket traders price a nearly 48% chance that Bitcoin hits $1 million before GTA 6\u2019s release. The prediction shows speculative optimism amid market uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin remains volatile around the $102,000 mark. Institutional selling and options expirations have added pressure to the leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Kazakhstan plans to launch a $1 billion national crypto reserve fund by early 2026. The fund will use seized and repatriated assets along with state mining revenues. It will invest in crypto ETFs and related companies while avoiding direct Bitcoin holdings.<\/p>\n<p>The Base ecosystem continues to dominate with new dApps, AI agents, and DeFi tools. USDC has also surpassed USDT in on-chain volume. Santiment stated that this was driven by major payment integrations.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Blockchain analytics firm Santiment has identified five major topics generating the highest social interest on Friday.
