Litecoin is a peer-to-peer cryptocurrency created by Charlie Lee. It was created based on the Bitcoin protocol but differs in terms of the hashing algorithm used. Litecoin uses the memory intensive Scrypt proof of work mining algorithm. Scrypt allows consumer-grade hardware such as GPU to mine those coins.  Why Litecoin? Litecoin is a cryptocurrency that has evolved from Bitcoin after its own popularity in the industry, this alternative, or ‘altcoin’ has emerged to allow investors to diversify their digital currency package, according to Investopedia. Litecoin is one of the most prominent altcoins and was created by former Google employee and Director of Engineering at Coinbase, Charlie Lee. Litecoin was the first to alter Bitcoin and the most significant difference is that it takes 2.5 minutes for Litecoin to generate a block, or transaction, in comparison to Bitcoin's 10 minutes.  ‘While this matters little to traders, miners who use hardware to run Bitcoin's network cannot switch over to Litecoin. This keeps bigger mining conglomerates away from Litecoin because they cannot easily optimize their profits by swapping to another coin, contributing to a more decentralized experience. Litecoin also has bigger blocks, and more coins in circulation, making it more affordable and swift when transacting,’ Investopedia explained.  As explained above, Litecoin can transact a lot faster than Bitcoin, but there are also a number of other characteristics that investors need to know before trading. Litecoin can handle higher volumes of transactions because of the capability of transacting faster and if Bitcoin attempted to transact on the scale of its altcoin, a code update would be needed. However, Litecoin’s blocks would be larger, but with more ‘orphaned blocks'. The faster block time of litecoin reduces the risk of double spending attacks - this is theoretical in the case of both networks having the same hashing power.  Litecoin Technical Details: The transaction confirmation time taken for Litecoin is about 2.5 minutes on average (as compared to Bitcoin's 10 minutes). The Litecoin network is scheduled to cap at 84 million currency units.   Litecoin has inspired many other popular alternative currencies (eg. Dogecoin) because of its Scrypt hashing algorithm in order to prevent ASIC miners from mining those coins. However it is said that by the end of this year, Scrypt ASIC will enter the mass market.

Moonriver is a fully Ethereum-compatible smart contract parachain on Kusama. Due to this Ethereum-like design and developer-friendly approach, Moonriver has attracted dozens of projects to build on it: https://moonbeam.network/community/projects/. It does this by providing a full EVM implementation, a Web3-compatible API, and bridges that connect Moonriver to existing Ethereum networks. This allows developers to deploy existing Solidity/Vyper smart contracts and DApp frontends to Moonriver with minimal changes.  It is intended to be a companion network to Moonbeam (on Polkadot), where it will provide a permanently incentivized canary network. New code will ship to Moonriver first, where it can be tested and verified under real economic conditions. Once proven, the same code will ship to Moonbeam on Polkadot.

Ethereum is a global, open-source platform for decentralized applications. In other words, it is a decentralized blockchain platform that enables developers to build and deploy smart contracts and applications without central authority control. Unlike Bitcoin, which primarily functions as digital currency, Ethereum operates as a programmable global computer where developers can create any type of decentralized service.   The platform hosts over $14 billion in DeFi applications with hundreds of thousands of active users across financial protocols, NFT marketplaces, and gaming platforms. Its transition to Proof of Stake in September 2022 reduced energy consumption by over 99%, addressing environmental concerns while strengthening network security.  The network operates through thousands of independent validator nodes that process transactions and execute smart contracts on the Ethereum Virtual Machine. Smart contracts are self-executing programs written in Solidity that automatically carry out agreements when conditions are met, eliminating intermediaries like banks or brokers.   Validators stake ETH as collateral to propose and validate blocks, earning rewards for honest participation while facing penalties for malicious behavior. The EIP-1559 upgrade introduced a dynamic base fee mechanism that burns ETH with each transaction, creating deflationary pressure during high network activity when more ETH is burned than issued to validators.  Vitalik Buterin proposed Ethereum in 2013, but seven co-founders helped build it, including Gavin Wood who created Solidity and the EVM technical specification, and Joseph Lubin who founded ConsenSys. The project launched in July 2015 after raising over $18 million through crowdfunding, quickly becoming the largest blockchain developer community. Major milestones include the 2020 Beacon Chain launch, the 2021 London hard fork implementing fee burning, and the 2022 Merge to Proof of Stake.   Ether (ETH) serves multiple functions: paying transaction fees (gas), staking to secure the network and earn 3-5% annual yields, serving as collateral in DeFi protocols, and purchasing NFTs and digital assets. The asset is increasingly adopted by traditional institutions, with publicly traded companies adding ETH to corporate treasuries to generate staking yields while maintaining blockchain exposure, and in 2024, the SEC approved spot Ethereum ETFs, allowing traditional investors to gain exposure through conventional brokerage accounts.  Ethereum's roadmap focuses on dramatically increasing transaction capacity to over 100,000 per second, reducing confirmation times, and enhancing decentralization while maintaining security against future threats like quantum computing.

Ethereum

Ethereum is gaining attention as traders discuss its potential for a price increase, driven by upcoming upgrades and possible rate cuts. Community members are weighing in on technical analysis, while also considering its long-term utility in areas like tokenization and DeFi, with some suggesting a coming decoupling from Bitcoin. Despite some bearish sentiment, optimism persists around its potential for institutional adoption and a significant rally.

The anticipated glut would constitute nearly 4% of global demand.In its Oil Market Report for November, the IEA stated that global supply is rising faster than consumption, with output set to expand by nearly 3.1 million bpd in 2025 and 2.5 million bpd in 2026 on average, to reach 108.7 million bpd. Non-OPEC+ production is expected to account for 1.7 million bpd in 2025 and 1.2 million bpd of the growth in 2026.Saudi Arabia Drives 2025 Oil Supply&nbsp;OPEC+ and non-OPEC sources have contributed roughly equally to this gain, with Saudi Arabia alone adding close to 1.5 million bpd this year through October.OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Russia, and their allies, has been reportedly ramping up production since April. At the same time, higher output from countries like the United States and Brazil is deepening concerns about oversupply and putting pressure on oil prices.Global Oil Demand To Rise In 2026IEA expects global oil demand to rise by 770,000 bpd next year, up 70,000 bpd from last month’s estimates. The demand will be led by the U.S., China, and Nigeria, according to the agency.Global oil demand rose by 920,000 bpd in the third quarter of 2025, primarily driven by stronger consumption in China, the report added.On Wednesday, the IEA projected that oil demand will continue to rise until 2050, marking an extraordinary shift in tone toward fossil fuels. The Paris-based agency said that oil consumption is expected to grow by 13% by 2050, aided by weak adoption of electric vehicles without policy support.Brent crude futures rose 0.94%, to $63.30 a barrel, after dropping 3.8% on Wednesday.

Brent crude prices hovered around $62 per barrel at the time of writing, after a 4% decline in the previous session.<h2 class="st-heading-2">OPEC+ Issues Surplus Warning</h2>The selloff came after the producer group OPEC+ said global oil markets moved into a surplus in the third quarter, contrary to its earlier forecasts of a deficit. The group, which includes Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, said in its monthly report that world oil production exceeded demand by 500,000 barrels per day during the quarter, compared with a 400,000-barrel-per-day shortfall projected earlier.The group also estimates that supplies outside OPEC and its allies rose by 890,000 bpd in the period, with the U.S. accounting for much of the growth. The outlook comes after OPEC+ said it would pause rapid production hikes for the first three months of the year due to seasonality.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Chevron CEO Is Alarmed</h2>Mike Wirth, the top boss of oil major Chevron, warned that oil prices will feel more pressure in 2026 than liquefied natural gas prices due to OPEC+ oversupply.<blockquote>“Oil prices in 2026 are likely to feel more pressure than LNG prices,” Wirth said to Bloomberg Television. “There’s a lot of oil supply that’s coming back from the OPEC+ countries that have been holding supply back.”</blockquote>Earlier, the producer group also trimmed its 2026 demand forecast for OPEC+ crude by 100,000 bpd from prior forecasts, after raising its non-OPEC+ supply estimates. Its 2026 production outlook suggests oil markets will post a surplus, a worrying sign for major oil and gas companies whose depleting cash flows have raised concerns about their ability to return cash to shareholders. &nbsp;<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Are Stocktwits Users Thinking?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about the <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/USO">United States Oil Fund</a> was still in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing, compared to ‘bearish’ a day ago.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:798/100;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/USO_Nov_13_JPG_13458cb18a.webp" alt="USO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 12:24 a.m. ET on Nov. 13, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="798" height="100"><figcaption>USO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 12:24 a.m. ET on Nov. 13, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure><h2 class="st-heading-2">IEA’s Reintroduced Scenario Shows Oil Demand Growing &nbsp;</h2>Earlier on Wednesday, the International Energy Agency reintroduced a scenario in its forecast, projecting that oil demand will continue to rise until 2050, marking an extraordinary shift in tone toward fossil fuels.The Paris-based IEA reintroduced the “Current Policies Scenario,” or CPS, under which oil consumption grows by 13% by 2050, aided by weak adoption of electric vehicles without policy support.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/us-court-halts-trump-backed-order-to-end-delta-and-aeromexico-alliance/cLPBFEoREds">US Court Halts Trump-Backed Order To End Delta And Aeromexico Alliance</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

IEA began omitting the scenario in 2020 in favor of those that consider policy proposals. Last year, oil demand was supposed to peak by 2030 across all three scenarios.The agency projected that oil demand could rise to 113 million barrels per day (mbpd) in 2050, from around 100 mbpd at present levels. The bet is based on tame demand for electric vehicles over the next decade. The IEA projected that the share of EVs in total car sales could plateau after 2035 at around 40%, and petrochemical feedstocks, aviation, and trucks could drive oil demand.According to CPS, oil markets are well supplied in the near term, thanks to robust production in the Americas; however, demand may soon outpace supply. Some 25 mbpd of new oil supply projects are needed by 2035 in this scenario to keep markets in balance, the IEA said.“There are many uncertainties today—economically, politically, and technologically,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said to the Wall Street Journal. “We want to have a broader range of scenarios to try to address all of these uncertainties, and I hope it will meet the demand of our leaders, our governments, industry, and other stakeholders.”However, the IEA also kept the Stated Policies Scenario, or STEPS, under which oil demand will peak around 2030. It also did not mention whether any of the scenarios are more likely.<h2 class="st-heading-2">IEA Partially Realigns With Oil Majors, OPEC+ Amid US Criticism</h2>The IEA was founded in 1973 following the oil shock and backed by top consumers. The firm’s predictions help countries develop long-term energy policies. Its more conservative predictions about fossil fuels have often drawn the ire of OPEC+ countries and the Trump administration.The OPEC+ oil producer group, led by Saudi Arabia, also believes that oil demand will continue to rise till 2050. The group’s secretary-general, Haitham Al-Ghais, has previously accused the agency of promoting an “anti-oil narrative.” At the same time, Republicans in the U.S. have also criticised IEA and threatened to pull funding from the agency, which counts the U.S. as its biggest backer.The IEA’s move alongside several other new forecasts by the likes of BP, which erroneously predicted that oil demand had peaked in 2020, comes amid a renewed global push for fossil fuels spearheaded by the Trump administration, which has also rolled back several renewable energy incentives.<h2 class="st-heading-2">Renewable Energy To Still Grow</h2>The IEA, however, still projected that renewable energy would grow faster than any other major energy source across all scenarios, led by solar photovoltaics (PV). In the CPS, where they face bigger problems, renewables still meet the largest share of total energy demand growth, followed by natural gas and oil, even though annual solar PV additions in the power sector stall at around today’s levels of 540 GW to 2035.Despite roadblocks in the U.S., much of the growth is expected to come from China, which continues to be the largest market for renewables, accounting for 45-60% of global deployment over the next 10 years across the scenarios.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Are Stocktwits Users Thinking About Oil Firms?</h2>Retail sentiment on Stocktwits about <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/XOM">Exxon Mobil</a> was in the ‘bullish’ territory at the time of writing, while traders were ‘bearish’ on <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/CVX">Chevron</a>.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:800/97;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/XOM_Nov_12_JPG_7cac7c3bcf.webp" alt="XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:05 a.m. ET on Nov. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="800" height="97"><figcaption>XOM’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 02:05 a.m. ET on Nov. 12, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>Exxon stock has gained 10.6% this year, while Chevron shares have risen 7.4%.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/equity/why-did-venture-global-stock-rise-over-4-after-hours/cLPImZfRE5I">Why Did Venture Global Stock Rise Over 4% After-Hours?</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.

Brent crude had slumped to around $60 per barrel last month, as the rapid unwinding of OPEC+ supply cuts amid trade uncertainties raised investor concerns.<h2 class="st-heading-2">What Did OPEC+ Say?</h2>Eight members of the group, including Saudi Arabia, Russia, and the UAE, met virtually on Sunday and agreed to bring 137,000 barrels per day of production back online. This was part of the 1.65 million barrels per day (bpd) of oil that OPEC+ aims to produce after a voluntary production cut in April 2023 to regain market share.OPEC+ has been rapidly unwinding previous production cuts since April and has so far brought back over 2.5 million bpd worth of output. At their peak, production cuts totaled 5.85 million bpd, or nearly 6% of global supply.However, the group revealed it was pausing rapid hikes, as several analysts project that supply will outpace demand in 2026, affecting the bottom lines of energy firms. “Due to seasonality, the eight countries also decided to pause the production increments in January, February, and March 2026,” OPEC+ said in a statement.What Did Analysts Say?“The pause in raising output could even represent the start of a transition from the effort of OPEC+ to recapture market share toward a more supportive posture that holds back on supply in support of higher prices,” said analyst Tim Evans on the Evans On Energy newsletter.Russia remains a key supply wildcard, according to Helima Croft, RBC Capital's Head of Commodities Strategy, Reuters reported. Croft attributed this to sanctions recently imposed on major Russian producers Rosneft and Lukoil, alongside persistent Ukrainian attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure.However, analysts noted that other geopolitical conflicts could also cause a supply shock. “While Russia is the chief focus for a possible drop in supply, the market also needs to track the US military campaign against Venezuelan drug runners,” Evans said, noting that potentially 1 million bpd of production could be at risk.Retail Traders Bearish On Oil ETFsRetail sentiment on Stocktwits about the United States Oil Fund (USO) and <a href="https://stocktwits.com/symbol/UCO">UCO ProShares Ultra Bloomberg Crude Oil</a> was in the ‘bearish’ territory at the time of writing.<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:798/106;" src="https://news.stocktwits-cdn.com/UCO_Nov_3_JPG_7f6cbebc0c.webp" alt="UCO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:09 a.m. ET on Nov. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits" width="798" height="106"><figcaption>UCO’s Sentiment Meter and Message Volume as of 03:09 a.m. ET on Nov. 3, 2025 | Source: Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>OPEC+ members will meet again on Nov. 30 to evaluate their next steps.Also See: <a href="https://stocktwits.com/news-articles/markets/cryptocurrency/bitcoin-drops-below-108-000-amid-concerns-over-fed-rates/cL2ZvHNR3yH">Bitcoin Drops Below $108,000: Fed Rate Jitters Prompt Traders To Gauge Risks Closely</a>For updates and corrections, email newsroom[at]stocktwits[dot]com.
