Bithumb lists Toncoin (TON)
Toncoin (TON) dropped out of the top 10 cryptocurrencies by market cap as Cardano and Dogecoin soared.

According to CoinGecko data, BCH rose to intraday highs of $533 during the Asian trading hours. BSV/USD also rose sharply to hit $78.
Filecoin (FIL) price retests key area
FIL is another coin to hint at a potential price breakout.
The altcoin’s upward trajectory cooled around $4.84 on November 17, with sellers pushing to lows of $4.10.
However, Filecoin price has recovered to the $4.50 area and could target a psychological return to the key resistance zone above $6.
On the flipside, a decline to support at $3 where sideways action lingered for four months before this month’s breakout, is possible.
Filecoin and Gitcoin’s recent announcement of a collaboration on a pilot for public goods funding is a notable development.
