Bitcoin is under severe pressure as the market slips into what many analysts now describe as a dangerous zone. The loss of the $90,000 support level — a key psychological and structural threshold — has intensified fear across the crypto landscape. Bulls, who previously defended this region throughout the year, are now losing control as price volatility accelerates and liquidity thins out.

As a result, a growing number of market commentators are beginning to call for the start of a potential bear market, arguing that the trend has shifted decisively.

Adding to the panic, new on-chain data shows an unexpected development that has further rattled investors: after eight months of inactivity, Mt. Gox has just transferred 10,423 BTC (worth roughly $936 million) to a new wallet. These movements typically precede distributions to creditors, and historically, any transfer from Mt. Gox has triggered sell-off concerns due to the amount of supply that could enter the market.

The timing couldn’t be worse. With sentiment already fragile and Bitcoin struggling to find support, the sudden appearance of nearly a billion dollars’ worth of BTC on the move has amplified uncertainty. Whether this sparks a deeper breakdown or becomes another shakeout before recovery remains the question driving today’s market narrative.

What the Mt. Gox Transfer Signals — And Why Markets Are on Edge

Historically, any on-chain movement from Mt. Gox wallets has been interpreted as a precursor to creditor distributions. Even if the coins are not immediately destined for exchanges, the possibility of that supply eventually hitting the market is enough to amplify fear — especially when Bitcoin has just lost the crucial $90K level.

Traders worry that a portion of these funds could be sold, adding tens or hundreds of millions in sell pressure at a moment when liquidity is already thin.

This stress is intensifying because the market is not only dealing with internal crypto dynamics but also major macroeconomic fractures. Japan’s economy is emerging as a pressure point, with the Yen carry trade beginning to unwind again. For years, investors borrowed cheap yen to buy higher-yielding assets, including US Treasuries and even crypto. Now, with Japan under strain and the yen strengthening, those leveraged positions are being forced to deleverage. That unwinding drains liquidity from global markets and puts indirect pressure on risk assets like Bitcoin.

Combined — Mt. Gox supply risk, lost support levels, and macro contagion — the environment is primed for elevated volatility. Whether this becomes a deeper breakdown or a capitulation bottom depends on how the market absorbs the coming days.

Weekly Chart Signals Deep Stress but Key Support Still Holding

Bitcoin’s weekly chart shows a decisive shift in market structure as BTC trades around $90,877, marking one of its sharpest multi-week declines since mid-2024. The breakdown from the $100K–$105K consolidation range pushed price directly into the weekly 50-period moving average, a level that previously acted as dynamic support during multiple pullbacks throughout the cycle.

Losing this level decisively would increase the probability of a deeper retracement toward the $85K–$88K liquidity zone, where the 100-week MA currently aligns.

Volume confirms the severity of the move: red candles have expanded significantly over the past two weeks, suggesting that sellers are in control and that forced liquidations may be accelerating the drop. However, the wick rejections near $89K indicate that buyers are still active at lower levels, absorbing a portion of the sell pressure and preventing a complete breakdown so far.

Structurally, BTC remains above its long-term 200-week moving average, but the distance is narrowing quickly. Historically, when Bitcoin enters this phase — sharp corrections into major weekly supports — it often transitions into a high-volatility environment before choosing a direction.

If bulls can defend the current region and reclaim the $95K–$98K band, momentum could stabilize. If not, the market risks revisiting deeper demand zones.

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) — the bureau responsible for regulating and supervising all national banks — has announced that US financial institutions may hold crypto assets to cover blockchain network fees.

National Banks Allowed To Manage Crypto 

In a letter released on Tuesday, the OCC stated that banks are permitted to pay network fees to facilitate activities involving digital assets, provided the banks can foresee a legitimate need for holding these currencies. 

The letter, which was signed by the Senior Deputy Comptroller and the Chief Counsel of the regulatory agency, states that a bank’s proposal to manage crypto assets on its balance sheet for the purpose of settling network fees is acceptable under current regulations.

Additionally, the OCC confirmed that national banks can hold digital assets as a principal asset for testing platforms related to crypto activities, whether these systems are developed in-house or sourced from third-party services. 

Banks To Trade Stablecoins For Payment Processing

The regulator acknowledged that requiring banks to rely on external parties for crypto assets could increase operational costs and risks, potentially deterring thorough testing of their systems.

Furthermore, national banks may borrow securities from custody customers that are ineligible for purchase for their own accounts. This permits banks to lend these securities to third parties without exposing themselves to credit risk from the customers.

The guidelines also indicate that banks are allowed to buy, sell, and issue stablecoins to facilitate payments. If a bank already possesses the operational capacity to manage the purchase, sale, and custody of digital assets in conjunction with other permissible activities, minimal additional operational hurdles are anticipated for acquiring, holding, and utilizing crypto to address network fees.

According to viral posts circulating on social media, a dramatic Bitcoin forecast is drawing attention this week. Bitcoin is trading around $93,700, down about 26% from its October peak of $126,200.

Reports have disclosed a November drop that brought a 15% correction earlier in the month. Short bursts above $96,000 have already faded, and at one point the price slipped below $93,000.

Bold Prediction From A High IQ Claimant

YoungHoon Kim, who has publicly claimed an IQ of 276, says Bitcoin will hit $220,000 within 45 days. Based on reports, that would mean roughly a 130% gain from current levels.

His forecast was shared in a short clip on X, where he offered no technical charts or on-chain evidence to support the jump. He did, however, pledge to donate 100% of any profits he makes from the rally to “build churches for Jesus Christ in every nation,” a motive he cited alongside his bullish view.

As World’s Highest IQ Record Holder, I expect #BITCOIN is going to $220,000 in the next 45 days.

I will use 100% of my Bitcoin profits to build churches for Jesus Christ in every nation.

Market Moves And Sentiment

Price action has been choppy. There was a quick rise to about $96,000 that failed to hold, then a retreat below $94,000. Several tries to break and stay above $100,000 have not stuck, and trader confidence has slipped.

Based on reports, some market watchers point to panic selling by short-term holders and position rotation among “OG”, or longer-term holders as drivers of this volatility.

Institutional buying and long-term holders are still present in the market, and their activity provides liquidity that some believe will support prices over time.

How This Fits Other Forecasts

Other bullish calls are being cited alongside Kim’s prediction. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee has maintained a year-end target range of $200K-$250K. A technician known as Egrag Crypto has also highlighted a $220,000 level in past commentary.

Reports show these targets overlap, but the methods behind them differ, and the timing is not always tied to the same drivers.

Technical And Practical Hurdles

Reaching $220,000 within weeks would require Bitcoin to reclaim price zones that have flipped from support into resistance.

That means buying pressure would need to outpace selling across multiple price levels. No single indicator guarantees such a sharp move, and the short-term past performance demonstrates how quickly sentiment can shift.

With the market struggling to regain bullish traction, Solana continues to trend downward, now hovering around the $130 price level. During this sharp pullback in SOL’s price, there has been a notable selling spree among investors, which seems to have migrated to those held in treasury reserves.

Ongoing Sell-Off Extends Into Solana Treasuries

After closing on a negative note on Monday, Solana’s ongoing bearish performance has expanded into another day. At the same time, a surprising shift in institutional sentiment and action has emerged concerning the thriving SOL treasuries narrative.

As the market wanes, one of Solana’s key treasury-backed companies has started to dump portions of its SOL holdings. OxNobler, a DeFi researcher and crypto investor, shared this change in sentiment, which is stirring fresh debate regarding the altcoin’s outlook in the short term.

Forward Industries, the largest SOL treasury company in the sector, is currently carrying out this renewed selling activity. The move comes at a time when Solana has been experiencing increased institutional attention and strong on-chain activity, making the decision to sell unexpected and should be closely monitored.

According to the researcher, Forward Industries has begun selling its over 6.8 million SOL holdings valued at a staggering $1.65 billion. OxNobler highlighted that the leading treasury company acquired SOL just 2 months ago. However, the firm is now selling off its holdings at a massive loss as the price of SOL keeps dropping.

Following this move to sell, speculations are whether this action is a strategic repositioning in the face of market volatility or a standard treasury rebalance. Such a sale from institutional investors is likely to inject a new layer of complexity into Solana’s narrative and its price trajectory in the weeks ahead.

A Hub For Seasoned Crypto Engineers

While large corporations may be dumping SOL, Vibhu, the mid-tier manager at the Solana Foundation, advocates buying the leading altcoin, predicting it could rise to the $1,000 price mark. The manager’s conviction is fueled by the network’s growing recognition and adoption by developers.

According to Vibhu, SOL is the epicenter of the most gifted network engineers, DeFi and consumer founders, and creatives in the cryptocurrency space. In addition, the only decentralized, scaled network that covers consumer goods, institutional products, and everything in between is Solana.

Vibhu calms that SOL has the best integration with onramps, exchanges, neobanks, and brokerages aside from Ethereum and Bitcoin. Unlike ETH and BTC, the network’s strategic value is based on driving unchain usage and revenues, a narrative that registers with everyday investors.

This year has been remarkable for SOL, achieving multiple milestones, which is expected to be more obvious in the upcoming months and years. Presently, Solana is half the age of Ethereum, but has the same or higher level of mindshare across the board; in other words, the slope is steeper. “There are product categories in which Solana is currently behind, and it will not remain that way forever,” Vibhu stated.

Сооснователь биржи криптодеривативов BitMex Артур Хейс (Arthur Hayes) заявил, что биткоин может упасть до $80 000, но с возвращением ликвидности на рынок способен вырасти до $250 000.

MicroStrategy, a publicly traded business intelligence company, is facing new heat as world-class economist Peter Schiff unleashes a blistering takedown of the firm’s all-in Bitcoin (BTC) bet. As the price of Bitcoin slides below key levels, Schiff has warned that MicroStrategy’s model cannot sustain itself, arguing that a critical flaw could push the company into a “death spiral.” His claims have sparked a fierce debate within the crypto community, with many outrightly dismissing his perspective as exaggerated, while others closely monitor the market as pressure intensifies. 

MicroStrategy To Face Bitcoin-Fueled Death Spiral

Schiff’s latest criticism centers on MicroStrategy’s use of preferred shares to accumulate additional Bitcoin. He argues that the company’s business model only works if income-oriented funds buy into high-yield preferred shares, yet he insists the promised yields are simply a fantasy. 

According to him, once institutional buyers realize that the returns cannot be paid out, they will exit the investment, preventing MicroStrategy from issuing more shares. In his view, this could trigger a death spiral he believes is already unfolding. 

Notably, Schiff’s warning was met with immediate frustration from crypto community members who argued that MicroStrategy does not depend on preferred shares for survival. The commenter dismissed the possibility of a death spiral, insisting that the shares are merely a tool for expanding the business intelligence company’s Bitcoin stash and are not tied to operational stability. 

Schiff fired back, saying that without the ability to produce Bitcoin yield, MicroStrategy has nothing valuable to offer investors. His remarks came at a tense moment in the market. The price of Bitcoin had fallen toward $90,000 while gold hovered near all-time highs at $4,000, reinforcing the global economist’s long-held belief that gold is superior to BTC. 

Adding more fire, he stressed that the leading cryptocurrency had crashed 40% from its record highs and pointed out that the drop looks even worse when compared to gold, which has been performing fairly well. Moreover, with the MSTR stock down more than 50% over the past six months, the timing of his verbal attack on MicroStrategy couldn’t be more perfect for the skeptic. 

MicroStrategy Faces Trouble As Stock Falls Below BTC

Co-founder of EasyA, Don Kwok has highlighted a major risk with MicroStrategy’s stock trading below Net Asset Value (NAV). This means that the company’s market cap is lower than the value of its Bitcoin holdings. Historically, no treasury company has stayed below NAV for long without consequences.

Kwok explained that MicroStrategy’s business model works only if MSTR trades at a premium NAV. When it falls below, issuing new shares dilutes shareholder exposure because the company gives away more ownership that it receives in Bitcoin. He warned that if the stock continues to decline, it could lead to further losses, potentially increasing market volatility.

Crypto exchange Binance has announced that BlackRock’s tokenized fund, BUIDL, will now be accepted as collateral on the platform. This comes as the tokenized fund expands to the BNB chain, a move welcomed by the exchange’s former CEO, Changpeng Zhao. 

What The Binance Partnership With BlackRock’s BUIDL Means

Binance has partnered with BlackRock’s BUIDL to expand its collateral offerings for institutional off-exchange settlement services, Binance Banking Triparty, and MirrorRSV. The exchange has now added support for BUIDL, which is a tokenized short-term U.S. Treasury fund. The exchange explained that its Banking Triparty is a custodial solution designed for institutions that separates asset custody from trading execution. 

With this, users can trade on the crypto platform by pledging fiat or fiat-equivalent collateral such as BlackRock’s BUIDL, which a regulated third-party banking partner will hold. Meanwhile, the crypto exchange also explained that MirrorRSV is an off-exchange custody solution provided by Ceffu, its institutional crypto custody partner. 

MirrorRSV allows users to trade on Binance while the assets remain in segregated cold wallets and can be verified on-chain. The exchange noted that this gives institutions enhanced transparency and auditability while retaining access to the exchange’s liquidity. This move is expected to boost institutional crypto adoption, as these options are meant to provide easy access to the crypto space. 

Binance also announced that BlackRock’s BUIDL will launch on the BNB Chain, further enhancing access and interoperability across on-chain applications. The tokenized fund is already supported on the Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and Aptos networks. The fund is also available on Ethereum layer-2 networks such as Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism. 

Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao commented on BlackRock BUIDL’s partnership with Binance and its launch on BNB. He welcomed BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, to the crypto platform and the BNB Chain, noting that BlackRock manages $13 trillion in assets under management (AUM), making the deal a major one for crypto. Notably, Franklin Templeton, which has $1.53 trillion in AUM, also recently launched its tokenization platform, BENJI, on BNB. 

Features Of The BUIDL Integration

Binance stated that through the BlackRock BUIDL integration, its institutional users can now hold the tokenized fund off-exchange with Ceffu and Binance’s regulated, third-party banking partners. That way, they will be able to earn yield on their collateral while also trading on the crypto exchange. The crypto exchange added that this move will effectively address user needs, enable confident scaling of allocations, and ensure regulatory compliance. 

BlackRock’s BUIDL joins other supported yield-bearing assets on Binance, which include USYC and cUSDO, which were integrated earlier this year. Crypto pundit Coachty noted that the partnership is TradFi-crypto convergence in real time. He added that BUIDL is becoming the go-to institutional asset in the tokenization boom and that the flow of capital into on-chain RWAs is only getting started.

Quick Facts:

• The Dogecoin vs Bitcoin debate underscores a clash between long-term stability and high-risk, community-led speculation.
• Retail traders continue to hunt for low-cap tokens capable of delivering explosive growth reminiscent of Dogecoin’s early cycles.
• Stealing the spotlight from both $BTC and $DOGE, Maxi Doge introduces a utility-backed model built on competitive trading events and collective rewards.

The long-running Dogecoin vs Bitcoin conversation has always split the crypto world into two distinct camps.

For years, investors have weighed the differences between these philosophies, comparing Bitcoin’s slow-and-steady resilience with Dogecoin’s capacity for dramatic upside.

Bitcoin sits atop the market as digital gold: scarce, secure, and designed for long-term value preservation.

Dogecoin, created as a joke, evolved into a symbol of internet culture, fueled by community enthusiasm and viral momentum.

This rivalry reflects a deeper tension within the market.

• Bitcoin offers stability, but its price point feels out of reach for smaller traders looking for monumental gains.
• Dogecoin once filled that void, as its early cycles delivered extraordinary returns. But its current size makes massive surges increasingly difficult.

Recently, Bitcoin just gave the market a scary signal, a ‘Death Cross’ (where the 50-day moving average dips below the 200-day one). This hasn’t happened since 2021, and historically, it puts some serious pressure on the whole crypto space.

Dogecoin ($DOGE) saw a quick spike to $0.162, but then late-session selling basically wiped out those gains. The big takeaway? $DOGE is still super sensitive to whatever Bitcoin is doing.

Traders are constantly scanning the horizon for the next crypto to explode: something culturally strong and priced low enough to deliver those once-in-a-cycle gains.

That search has brought attention to new entrants that blend the excitement of early meme coins with modern utility.

One of the most talked-about contenders, Maxi Doge ($MAXI), is shaping its identity around a “1000x leverage” mindset, pulling from high-adrenaline trading culture and layering it with community rewards.

It marks a shift in the meme coin landscape, moving away from simple jokes and toward fully built ecosystems designed for ambitious participants.

Maxi Doge Forges a New High-Leverage Trading Culture

Maxi Doge ($MAXI) is Doge’s bulky cousin, meant to represent the strength needed to thrive in a volatile market. His mantra, ‘never skip leg day, never skip a pump,’ speaks to traders who see the market as a place to sharpen both financial instincts and discipline.

Retail traders often struggle to match the confidence and capital of whales; Maxi Doge addresses that gap by cultivating a collective identity, backed by competitions and incentives that reward conviction.

Maxi Doge also intentionally leans into the high-risk, high-reward mentality that defines leverage trading. Its ‘Leverage King Culture’ serves as the backbone of its brand, as a framework through which the entire project operates.

The core philosophy of lift, trade, repeat mirrors the discipline required in fitness and in trading, creating a thematic bridge between the two worlds.

In other words, the project brilliantly turns individual ambition into a coordinated movement, which makes it one of the best meme coins to buy now.

This approach is clearly striking a chord. Maxi Doge’s presale has already surpassed $4 million, indicating strong early belief in its mission.

Visit the Maxi Doge ($MAXI) presale for a closer look at the project.

Could $MAXI be the Next Meme Coin to Explode?

This fusion of meme-driven branding and engagement tools positions Maxi Doge as a fresh force in the Dogecoin vs Bitcoin conversation. It maintains the fun and virality of a meme coin while adding structure, incentives, and community tools.

As part of boosting engagement, Maxi Doge will organize holder-exclusive trading competitions with real rewards, complete with leaderboards that encourage participation and growth.

Another major component is the staking program. Holders can lock up $MAXI to earn attractive passive income, currently at 76% APY.

And at the center of Maxi Doge’s sustainable meme coin model is the Maxi Fund – a treasury dedicated to maintaining liquidity, supporting partnerships, and fueling marketing campaigns.

Together, these features present a compelling alternative for traders navigating the Dogecoin vs Bitcoin divide. So it wouldn’t be surprising to see $MAXI explode, as explained in our price forecasts for 2025, 2026, and 2030.

Built on the Ethereum network, Maxi Doge uses an ERC-20 smart contract for supply management and reward distribution. For detailed presale instructions, read our ‘How to Buy Maxi Doge’ guide.

Since $MAXI has successfully passed smart contract audits by Coinsult and Solidproof, it significantly reduces the typical early-stage risks of code exploits or scam-related vulnerabilities.

Join the $MAXI presale today for $0.0002685. But hurry, as a price increase is looming.

I dati rivelano che la maggior parte delle aziende con tesoreria in Ethereum stanno attualmente scambiando al di sotto del loro mNAV, a dimostrazione dell’impatto dell’ultimo crollo del prezzo. Ma cerchiamo di comprendere al meglio la situazione. Tanto per cominciare il termine mNAV sta per “Multiple of Net Asset Value”, ed è un rapporto che confronta il valore dell’azienda sul mercato con il valore delle criptovalute che possiede. Quando un’azienda ha un mNAV maggiore di uno significa sostanzialmente che questa vale più delle sue riserve in crypto, e che gli investitori vedono un modello di business sostenibile e promettente.

Le Aziende con Tesoreria in Ethereum Sono in Difficoltà

In un nuovo thread su X, Charles Edwards, fondatore di Capriole Investments, ha discusso alcune metriche relative alle aziende che detengono Ethereum in tesoreria. Una “treasury firm” è una società quotata che ha adottato un asset digitale come Bitcoin o Ethereum come strategia di riserva.

L’idea è stata resa popolare dalla strategia di Michael Saylor (ex MicroStrategy), che nel 2020 ha scelto di diventare una società con riserva in BTC. Da allora, è cresciuta fino a diventare di gran lunga il più grande detentore aziendale di asset digitali, con un investimento enorme di 47,54 miliardi di dollari.

In passato, le aziende vedevano solo Bitcoin come un asset di riserva praticabile, ma quest’anno si è registrato un aumento dei detentori di ETH, la criptovaluta al secondo posto per capitalizzazione.

La “frenesia” delle aziende verso Ethereum ha raggiunto il picco in agosto, ma da allora il ritmo di crescita ha mostrato un rallentamento, come evidenziato dal grafico condiviso da Edwards.

Acquisti Istituzionali di Ethereum

Dal grafico è chiaro che il tasso di variazione delle tesorerie ETH resta positivo nonostante il rallentamento, suggerendo che le aziende continuano ad accumulare. Ciò significa che, nonostante i recenti deflussi dagli ETF spot, gli acquisti istituzionali restano superiori – anche se di poco – alla crescita dell’offerta della criptovaluta.

Il Modello di Business delle Tesorerie ETH Non Sta Funzionando per Molte Aziende

Come sottolinea l’analista, la maggior parte delle aziende ha un valore mNAV inferiore a 1. Come abbiamo già spiegato, il mNAV è una metrica che confronta la capitalizzazione di mercato di un’azienda con il valore totale dei suoi asset di riserva. Un valore inferiore a 1 implica che la valutazione della società è inferiore al valore delle sue riserve.

Attualmente, circa il 64,3% delle aziende con tesoreria in Ethereum si trova in questa condizione, ergo il mercato non crede molto nella sostenibilità di queste società. Una sostenibilità resa sempre più precaria in una condizione di difficoltà di ETH.

Edwards spiega:

“Ciò significa che il quadro delle aziende con tesoreria in ETH è molto più debole rispetto a quello di Bitcoin.”

Chiaramente, le tesorerie ETH stanno affrontando pressioni. Ma qualcuna sta vendendo? I dati suggeriscono che la maggior parte non lo sta facendo, poiché il rapporto netto acquisti/vendite rimane solido.

Sebbene quasi tutti i detentori corporate di Ethereum siano ancora acquirenti netti, il rapporto buy/sell ha iniziato a scendere mentre il prezzo dell’asset sta vivendo un periodo ribassista. Attualmente ETH è scambiato per circa 3.000 dollari, in un mese ha perso circa il 21% del proprio valore.

Quick Facts:

• 1️⃣ Kazakhstan is clarifying its crypto rules, creating a friendlier environment for regulated mining and digital-asset activity.
• 2️⃣Crypto assets can now circulate across Kazakhstan, no longer restricted to the Astana International Financial Center (AIFC).
• 3️⃣ PEPENODE introduces a hardware-free mine-to-earn structure that lets users access mining-style rewards through virtual nodes instead of rigs, making the experience accessible to retail users priced out of traditional mining

The regulatory environment in the Central Asian crypto mining hub, Kazakhstan, is shifting from a grey area to an increasingly structured one. Recent reforms give clearer legal footing for digital-asset mining, exchange activity, and tokens.

A recent amendments bill vastly expands the range of options for crypto miners and users within the country. Essentially, Kazakhstan is giving a green light to crypto mining and moving the crypto industry a bit more into the limelight.

The new law:

• Expands circulation
• Allows mining by both individuals and entities
• Permits mined crypto to be traded on more exchanges

Kazakhstan’s move also sends a signal to the rest of the world. As jurisdictions like Kazakhstan upgrade their frameworks, projects that lean on real-world utility or scalable models (rather than pure hype) may benefit.

Against that backdrop enters PEPENODE ($PEPENODE), a meme-coin presale combining gamified ‘mining’ mechanics with virtual nodes, built on the premise of lowering entry-barriers for everyday miners.

PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) – Meme-Coin Momentum with Innovative Mine-to-Earn Mechanism

PepeNode proposes a novel ‘mine-to-earn’ structure: rather than acquiring expensive rigs or relying on intense energy consumption, users purchase virtual mining nodes inside a gamified dashboard. The node upgrades, leaderboard mechanics, and reward system aim to replicate mining engagement minus the hardware burden.

In addition to generating earnings in $PEPENODE itself, the mine-to-earn play includes rewards in market-leading meme coins, such as $PEPE and $FARTCOIN.

Presale highlights include:

• $0.0011546 token price
• $2.1M presale raise
• 596% staking rewards during the presale
• 210B token supply

With low-barrier access to a mining-style experience, a catchy meme narrative, and early-stage entry with presale pricing, PEPENODE brings all the benefits of mining to the meme coin sector, but without the real-world costs of intensive equipment.

Kazakhstan, PEPENODE Usher in New Mining Era

Mining barriers, including cost, hardware, and electricity, have pushed many retail users out of traditional crypto mining. That forces them to new frontiers, like Kazakhstan, or to innovative models where participation can be virtualised or abstracted. That’s precisely where $PEPENODE comes in.

In the meantime, there’s another trend emerging. Meme coins have matured beyond pure jokes. Projects integrating game-mechanics, community engagement, and reward loops are earning more serious attention.

That trend supports our PEPENODE price prediction, which shows $PEPENODE climbing from its current price to $0.0072 by the end of 2026. That represents 523% gains if you bought at today’s $0.0011546 token price.

Our prediction highlights the potential for the project to fit in perfectly with growing regulatory clarity (as in Kazakhstan). The trend signals that some jurisdictions are moving from the ‘wild west’ to more structured regimes.

That creates both headwinds, with more oversight, and opportunities; legitimate mining and regulated frameworks. For participants, that means paying attention not just to token mechanics but to jurisdiction, compliance, and roadmap fulfilment.

Any positive regulatory narrative tends to bolster confidence. Kazakhstan’s evolving crypto laws and mining-friendly yet regulated posture provide a contextual tailwind for mining-adjacent concepts.

Within an increasingly pro-mining context, don’t miss $PEPENODE’s mine-to-earn opportunity.

Аналитики брокерской компании Bernstein предположили, что падение биткоина на 25% от его октябрьского исторического пика $126 000 является лишь краткосрочной коррекцией цены, не предвещая серьезного спада крипторынка.

The entire cryptocurrency market is experiencing one of the largest bloodbaths ever, with the price of Bitcoin now dangerously trading close to the $90,000 mark, a level last seen in April 2025. Amid this sharp correction, a renewed buying pressure has been spotted in the market as investors flock in, reaching unprecedented levels.

Record Buying Activity Among Bitcoin Investors

Even with Bitcoin’s price being heavily bearish, the flagship crypto asset is exhibiting an unusual shift in market dynamics that is drawing notable attention in the sector. A report shared by CryptoQuant, a leading on-chain data analytics platform, states that BTC has witnessed the largest wave of accumulation, which is unfolding in the middle of an ongoing selloff. 

Prices have been declining and short-term sentiment has tipped unfavorably, but a strong undercurrent of strategic buying has formed beneath the surface. In the Quick-take post, MorenoDV, a market expert and author, highlighted that strong hands are absorbing supply at a pace that leads to price tops. However, the price of BTC is still showing bottom-like action. 

Historically, Bitcoin’s price experiences a rally that leads to the formation of local tops whenever demand from wallet addresses keeping their coins, particularly long-term holders or price-insensitive owners, increases sharply. These holders seem to absorb circulating supply, create a supply squeeze in the market, and start a brief rally. It is worth noting that once their demand subsides, prices typically decline.

However, the ongoing trend is moving away from past patterns. There has been a surge in demand from these permanent holders from 159,000 BTC to 345,000 BTC since October 6, marking the largest accumulation in recent market cycles. Meanwhile, BTC’s price is declining sharply, rather than rallying.

Two highly Potential Outcomes Following The Massive Demand

Presently, strong hands are gathering an enormous amount of BTC, but the market as a whole is in a state of extreme fear and uncertainty, with billions of dollars in unrealized losses. When demand from those investors who never sell increases swiftly during a downward trend, it often paves the way for one of two high-probability outcomes.

The first scenario pointed out by the expert is a meaningful rally. This rally is set to be driven by robust supply absorption that eventually allows these investors to distribute into renewed retail adoption. A key trend to note is that smart money is buying panic-selling at a discount. Thus, a powerful rally is likely as supply dries up when retail finally capitulates.

Moving on, the second scenario is a final leg down, where prices wash out market appetite leftovers prior to the formation of a more durable trend. MorenoDV noted that the price has much more downside ahead, and this accumulation might be capturing falling knives. 

If BTC’s downtrend persists, accumulation appetite could entirely be destroyed, causing even seasoned holders to reconsider. Whether the first or second scenario plays out, MorenoDV stated that the signal remains the same. Long-term capital is massively returning while short-term holders’ sentiment is capitulating. 

This divergence rarely lasts long, but it usually resolves with force once it does. After the examination, MorenoDV declares that this is one of those situations where staying data-driven typically matters most, and not sentiment-driven.

• Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a Layer 2 built using SVM technology to give Bitcoin sub-second transactions and low gas fees for dApps and utility.
• Bitcoin maintains its role as the secure base layer, while Bitcoin Hyper transforms it from a ‘store of value’ to a high-speed playground for DeFi and general use.

For years, Bitcoin has been the heavyweight champ of security but the slowest runner on the track. Everyone trusted it, everyone bought it, but nobody could pretend it was fast.

Meme coins? Impossible. Cheap transactions? Forget it. dApps? Developers laughed and walked away. And with Bitcoin’s tiny throughput and poor scalability, the chain was basically a digital gold bar that sat still and looked pretty.

Now the market is shifting. Institutions are buying Bitcoin in size, and even OG Bitcoiners are cashing out to them. That alone shows Bitcoin is far from dead.

The current dip is a perfect illustration of this changing market structure. CryptoQuant founder and CEO, Ki Young Ju, posted on X that the selling is merely a rotation from original long-term holders to new institutional players like traditional finance funds and ETFs, with strong liquidity inflows from these new channels signaling that the old cycle theory is obsolete.

Bitcoin has simply reached the point where the next evolution needs more speed, more utility, and more tech than the base chain can offer. And that is exactly where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) steps in.

With this new crypto project, the old chain feels like it just got a full makeover. A proper facelift. Bitcoin Hyper arrives as a Layer 2 built on the SVM, one of the fastest blockchain engines in the world.

Suddenly, Bitcoin unlocks sub-second transactions and tiny gas fees.

Developers, builders, and degens finally get what they always wanted but never had: high-speed action on Bitcoin itself.

Bitcoin is no longer limited to being a store of value. Payments feel instant again. Apps can live on-chain instead of being pushed elsewhere. Bitcoin stays as the trusted, solid base layer, while Bitcoin Hyper becomes the playground where everything actually happens.

And it is built for builders, for degens, and for the culture. Tooling, support, and incentives are all baked in, with enough raw speed to make the entire crypto world blink twice.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Bridging Bitcoin’s Past to a High-Speed ​​Future

Bitcoin earned its reputation by being the safest and most trusted base layer in crypto. It locks in value, keeps the chain secure, and does not break. But that strength came with a price.

Bitcoin never had the speed or flexibility needed for modern applications. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) changes that by building a modular Layer 2 on top of Bitcoin’s settlement layer.

Bitcoin stays the rock. $HYPER becomes the engine.

Execution moves off-chain, using the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), where transactions fire almost instantly and cost next to nothing.

The SVM is the key that unlocks all of this. Developers can use Rust and build smart contracts that actually feel modern. We go into further detail in our ‘What is Bitcoin Hyper‘ guide.

Suddenly, Bitcoin can support DeFi, lending, trading platforms, and even complex on-chain products that were never possible before.

Movement between layers stays smooth thanks to a built-in Canonical Bridge that lets $BTC flow into Hyper’s ecosystem with no hassle.

This architecture gives users everything they were missing: fast payments, cheap transfers, NFT marketplaces, gaming, and real room for builders.

Instead of watching other chains run ahead, Bitcoin finally gets its own high-speed playground. Bitcoin Hyper takes Bitcoin’s secure past and connects it to the kind of future people have been asking for.
