Hello everyone! Welcome to this segment in which we look at the top crypto things that happened yesterday, 12 November 2015.
First things first, XRP and Chainlink ETFs on the Brink of Explosive Launch
The first top crypto thing on our minds right now has got to be the heart-pounding anticipation surrounding XRP and Chainlink ETFs. They are actually poised to shatter records and redefine how we invest.
Basically, Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for XRP (trading at $2.43) and Chainlink (LINK at $15.38) are inches away from hitting the market, with filings and listings finalized on Tuesday.

In fact, Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the first ETF to directly hold XRP could be today, Thursday the 13th November. So…. anticipation is overwhelming!
UAE’s Digital dirham CBDC is another Top Crypto Thing
Shifting sands to sunnier shores, the top crypto thing in the Middle East just maybe the United Arab Emirates’s Digital Dirham CBDC.
Now personally, I have my own reservations (and reasons) about Central Bank Digital currencies (CBDC’s).
However, after months of buildup since the March announcement, the UAE’s long-awaited CBDC pilot has roared to life and it’s faster than your morning coffee run.
Teaming up with the UAE Ministry of Finance and Dubai Finance, officials hailed it as “a pivotal step toward broader adoption” across public and private realms.
In another Crazy Update, China Accuses the US of LuBian Bitcoin Heist
In a geopolitical gut-punch, China has slapped the U.S. government with accusations of orchestrating one of history’s craziest heists.
That’s right friends. Beijing’s top cybersecurity watchdog in a latest Bloomberg publication, is pointing fingers at the US against the infamous $13 billion LuBian Bitcoin heist.
They say the 120,000 BTC China based LuBian mining exploit has hallmark United States traits. The US is yet to comment.
Crypto drama pretty much never ends!
There you have it: from ETF launches that could moon XRP and LINK to heist headlines and CBDC breakthroughs, these are the top crypto things that happened in Crypto yesterday! Stay tuned to Coin Medium for more updates.
