According to The Block, bitcoin's price fell to a 12-week low of $71,200, while about $750 million in crypto positions were liquidated over the same period. The Block's related report was headlined “Bitcoin Falls to 12-Week Low of $71,200; Jensen Huang's Departure from Nvidia Triggers $750 Million Crypto Position Liquidation,” placing this round of volatility in the same time window as Nvidia's personnel change, the MSCI adjustment and sharp swings in major assets. The source page link for the report is dated November 12, 2026; the original material did not provide a specific publication time.
The event involves the bitcoin market, Nvidia and Jensen Huang, and MSCI adjustment-related index arrangements. Of these, $71,200 corresponds to bitcoin's 12-week low, and $750 million corresponds to the scale of crypto position liquidations in this round. Nvidia's personnel change and the MSCI adjustment are listed together as contemporaneous background factors. The Block material's summary states: “Major assets saw sharp volatility, compounded by Nvidia's personnel change and the MSCI adjustment, with the greatest market impact; other duplicate reports of the same event have been merged.” The report did not provide a quantified weighting of each factor's impact on prices, so these factors can only be listed together as contemporaneous background and the $71,200 low cannot simply be attributed to any single event.
In addition to the bitcoin price and crypto position liquidations, four other The Block reports from the same day covered regulatory, payments, clearing infrastructure and security incidents. They are listed below in the original order of the material.
The New York State Department of Financial Services issued new guidance on advertising and marketing for crypto companies. This report also came from The Block, with the source page dated November 12, 2026. The regulator set out explicit compliance requirements for advertising and marketing, which have a direct impact on crypto companies operating in the United States. This item is a regulatory rule update.
Visa connected Western Union's USDPT stablecoin to the VisaNet settlement network, with support from Anchorage. This report also came from The Block, with the source page dated November 12, 2026. The report shows that a mainstream payment network is connecting to bank-affiliated stablecoin settlement, sending an institutional adoption signal for the integration of traditional finance and stablecoins. This item is a payment network and stablecoin cooperation development.
DTCC plans to launch tokenized securities services on Solana in the second half of 2027. This report also came from The Block, with the source page dated November 12, 2026. The report shows that traditional financial clearing infrastructure is advancing the on-chain tokenization of securities, with Solana gaining significant incremental expectations and high industry attention. This item is a clearing infrastructure and public blockchain cooperation arrangement.
Chainstack suffered an AI-related security incident that led to customer data leakage and has required rotation of node credentials. This report also came from The Block, with the source page dated November 12, 2026. The report shows that the actual security incident involved customer data and node credentials and is valuable as a risk warning. This item is an ecosystem security incident.
Going forward, attention can be paid to bitcoin's movement around $71,200 and changes in the scale of the $750 million liquidation; follow-up arrangements for Nvidia's personnel change and the MSCI adjustment; and further formal disclosures on the NYDFS advertising guidance, Visa's stablecoin settlement, DTCC's tokenized securities plan and the Chainstack security incident. The above matters are subject to formal disclosure by the relevant parties, and no further inferences are made for now.
