Bitcoin mining firm Bitfury announced plans to step beyond mining with a major new investment push.

According to reports, the company will launch a $1 billion technology fund after 14 years focused mainly on emerging tech such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and decentralized identity systems.

The move signals a change of direction for the firm founded in 2011, which built its reputation on hardware and data center operations.

The $1B Fund Will Be Deployed Over Several Years

According to a press release, Bitfury intends to put roughly $200 million to work in the first year, with the remainder to follow over the next several years.

The firm says some capital could be deployed as early as Q4 2025. Company leaders told reporters that the money will come from a mix of returns from mining operations, past investment gains and outside backers.

Val Vavilov, the chief executive, has been named in reports as a key proponent of the shift.

The Fund Will Target AI, Quantum And Identity Tech

Bitfury has already invested in related infrastructure. Based on reports, the group helped build companies that handle data center cooling and AI hardware — assets that could support startups that need heavy compute.

Investors and founders in those sectors were quoted as saying Bitfury’s experience in physical infrastructure gives it a practical edge when backing capital-hungry projects.

Still, success is not guaranteed. Finding the right startups will be hard work, and competition from established venture firms is strong.

Why The Company Is Changing Focus

According to the company’s public comments, leaders see a link between secure, transparent systems and next-generation AI tools.

They argue that building technology that protects user identity and privacy will be important as AI systems grow more powerful.

The fund will emphasize what Bitfury calls “ethical emerging technologies,” a phrase the company uses to describe projects that combine technical innovation with safeguards for users.

Existing Strengths And Risks

Bitfury’s past moves show it can build hardware and run big operations. Reports note its ties to outfits working on immersion cooling and AI chips, which could make the company a useful backer for founders who need both money and infrastructure.

But running a large investment program is different from running mines. Picking winners in AI and quantum computing is competitive. Market swings, fast technology change, and unclear rules around crypto and identity systems add to the challenge.

Governance, Timing And What Comes Next

Based on reports, the fund’s governance model and detailed investment rules have not been fully public. Observers say those details will matter to prospective startups and co-investors.

Bitfury plans to move cautiously at first while still making a sizable first-year commitment. Some investors welcomed the news, while other analysts urged caution.

For now, Bitfury’s plan is clear in scale and ambition: $1 billion, early deployment in Q4 2025, and a first-year push of $200 million. How well the firm adapts from miner to investor will be watched closely by the tech and crypto communities.

XRP investors are facing their most challenging moment of the year as new on-chain data reveals a sharp decline in profitable supply. The current market appears incredibly fragile, despite the token trading significantly higher than its price from the previous year. The latest statistics indicate growing pressure among investors and a weakening market structure, which have contributed to the significant profit loss this year. 

XRP Investors See Worst Profit Loss Since 2024 

Fresh on-chain data from Glassnode, shared on X social media, shows that the portion of the XRP supply in profit has decreased to 58.5%. This is the lowest level ever recorded since November 2024, when the cryptocurrency was trading near $0.53. What’s alarming about this low stat is that the decline in investors’ profit is happening despite the altcoin currently trading more than 4X its price in 2024. 

At the time of writing, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.15, but despite this higher price advantage, 41.25% of the circulating supply, roughly 26.5 billion XRP, remains underwater. Glassnode has revealed that this substantial decline indicates that the market is heavily saturated by late buyers who accumulated tokens near cycle highs and are now anchoring the supply with unrealized losses. 

Notably, this setup has resulted in a heavy and unstable market structure. Many holders are either unable or unwilling to sell without locking in losses, which leaves them trapped and limits liquidity. This imbalance creates a fragile environment in which even moderate selling could intensify downward pressure during periods of stress. The chart accompanying Glassnode’s report illustrates how quickly the share of profitable supply declines and how investors’ sentiment flipped once XRP failed to maintain its earlier momentum and strength. 

Supply Shock Narrative Intensifies As Exchange Balances Shrink

A separate analysis by crypto analyst @RemiReliefX focuses on the rapid drawdown of the token available on exchanges. According to his report, exchange wallets held around 5 billion XRP last week. However, that number has since fallen to about 2.8 billion after the release of a single XRP ETF. 

The abrupt decline in exchange balances has prompted speculation about how quickly liquidity could dry up if FOMO from both institutional and retail participants begins. The analyst emphasized that he had previously warned of a supply shock, citing Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who also hinted that low supply could escalate price pressure. 

@RemiReliefX has made a bold prediction, forecasting that XRP could reach $1,000 by the end of the year. Such a move would amount to a 46,600% increase from its current price of about $2.15 in less than two months. The analyst also went further, projecting that the market could see the altcoin explode to $1,700 during this bull cycle.

Bitcoin’s price is under heightened bearish pressure as it falls back to the $90,000 level, raising the potential of the beginning of a bear market phase. With the price of BTC dropping fast, selling pressure is rising rapidly in the market, which is extending into the institutional landscape.

Are Bitcoin Institutional Investors Exiting?

In a significant development, several large corporations are starting to react strongly to the ongoing correction in Bitcoin’s price. As market volatility increases, institutional investors, who were once seen to be the stabilizing force driving Bitcoin’s maturation, are now starting to unwind some of their holdings.

One of the most recent corporations that has recently gone on a selling spree is Digital Galaxy. Galaxy Digital has secretly started to sell off some of its Bitcoin holdings, signifying a significant change in conduct from one of the most powerful institutional stakeholders in the sector. The firm’s decision to begin selling BTC after months of consistent accumulation and long-term strategy is causing controversy in the cryptocurrency space.

According to Darkfost, the firm, championed by billionaire and investor Mike Novogratz, has been quite active over the past few weeks, selling off thousands of its BTC stash at a rapid rate. During this period, Galaxy Digital transferred more than 2,800 BTC for the purpose of selling. 

Data shared by the expert revealed that 1,474 BTC valued at $135 million were moved to America’s leading cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase Prime, within a few hours. Darkfost stated that this selling pressure is likely to extend the ongoing downward trend of Bitcoin’s price. 

Sales are still mostly under control, but they show signs of strategic repositioning in the face of increasing volatility and changing macro signals. Meanwhile, should the trend become highly popular among institutional investors, it could impact the course of BTC in the upcoming weeks and months.

BTC’s Current Downtrend Driven Largely By Long-Term Holders

Since the sharp pullback in Bitcoin’s price, many developments have been linked to the decline. However, the one that stands out the most is the negative action of long-term BTC holders or old Bitcoiners in the market.

Related Reading: Bitcoin Buyers Step In: Largest Accumulation Wave Emerges In the Heart of Market Fear

As reported by Ki Young Ju, the founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of CryptoQuant, the current dip is a result of long-term BTC holders rotating among themselves. Old Bitcoiners are selling their coins to TradFi players, who will likewise hold for the long run.

At the beginning of the year, Young Ju predicted that BTC had reached a top, putting an end to the bull cycle. The increased selling pressure from OG whales supported his forecast. Meanwhile, current trends show that the market structure has shifted, with ETFs, MSTR, and other new channels persistently adding fresh liquidity.

Despite waning price performances basically caused by OG whales dragging the market, on-chain inflows remain strong. These days, corporate treasuries, multi-asset funds, pension funds, and sovereign funds are creating even larger liquidity channels. Young Ju claims that as long as these liquidity channels stay active, the cycle theory is dead.

As retail sentiment reaches its lowest level in months, institutional players have continued to show interest in the crypto industry, regardless of the market’s performance, signaling long-term confidence in the sector with their expansion to multiple blockchains, such as the BNB Chain and Ethereum.

Institutions Show Confidence As Crypto Market Struggles

On Wednesday, the BNB Chain unveiled a new milestone for its Real-World Asset (RWA) ecosystem, which has been driven by the ongoing institutional demand despite the market’s ongoing correction.

The crypto market has reportedly wiped out over $1.1 trillion in market capitalization over the past month and a half, driven by a series of massive liquidations and strong selling pressure since early October, which has shrunk retail investors’ sentiment to multi-month lows.

As reported by Bitcoinist, sentiment across the market has fallen to its lowest levels since March, recently reaching the Extreme Fear zone in the Fear & Greed Index. The index measures the predominant sentiment in the crypto market, ranging from 0 to 100.

Amid the broader correction, market sentiment had been moving between the Neutral and Fear zones. However, last week’s performance, which sent Bitcoin (BTC) below the key psychological $100,000 barrier, caused the score to plunge below the 20-point level, and it has been hovering within the Extreme Fear zone for the past five days, currently sitting at 16.

Despite retail sentiment, institutional investors have continued to bet on the industry’s long-term potential with the launch of multiple Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) strategies, altcoin-based Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), and the expansion of tokenized Real-World Assets across chains

According to the Wednesday announcement, the BNB Chain now leads global adoption of Circle’s interest-bearing stablecoin US Yield Coin (USYC) after launching on the network in July.

The asset, which recently surpassed $1 billion in total supply, now has over $900 million of its supply on the BNB Chain, adding to the network’s momentum in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the industry.

BNB Chain’s RWA Momentum

Notably, institutions have repeatedly chosen some of the leading networks, including BNB Chain and Ethereum, for tokenized assets and permissioned financial products. According to RWA.xyz data, the total RWA value on-chain currently sits at around $35.67 billion, a 3.53% increase over the past 30 days.

The BNB Chain, which has had a remarkable performance across its ecosystem this year, recently passed the $1 billion mark in on-chain value and has expanded its RWA ecosystem with multiple key partnerships and integrations from major institutional players.

Last week, the network welcomed BlackRock’s BUIDL Fund, the world’s largest tokenized real-world asset (RWA) fund with $2.5 billion in invested capital, on the BNB Chain, by launching a new share class on the network.

The expansion reportedly aims to broaden investor access and interoperability with other on-chain financial applications while offering qualified investors exposure to tokenized US dollar yields on a “high-performance, low-cost network.”

Similarly, Ondo Finance recently integrated with the BNB Chain to bring tokenized US stocks and ETFs to the blockchain at scale with its tokenized securities platform, Ondo Global Markets.

As reported by Bitcoinist, Ondo Global Markets has offered a selection of more than 100 tokenized US stocks and ETFs since its launch in September, surpassing $350 million in total value locked (TVL) and driving over $669 million in total on-chain volume.

Meanwhile, CMB International, Franklin Templeton, and VanEck have also expanded to the BNB Chain, bringing key money market funds and platforms, and offering tokenized US Treasury exposure on the network.

An unexpected question has arisen for Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as “CZ,” regarding whether the US government might return Binance’s $4.3 billion settlement following his presidential pardon. The question received an immediate response from CZ, whose reply caught the attention of the broader crypto community, adding yet another layer of intrigue to the widely discussed situation. 

Will The US Government Refund Binance’s $4.3 Billion Settlement? 

Anndy Lian, a business strategist in Asia, posed a direct question to CZ in an X social media post on Monday, asking whether the US government would refund the $4.3 billion fine paid by Binance now that the founder has been pardoned. CZ acknowledged the question’s sensitivity and explained that he values the presidential pardon already granted to him. 

He said that there is a need to balance gratitude with what might be considered fair in light of recent developments. The Binance founder also stated that if any portion of the settlement were ever returned, he would direct the money into investments inside the US as a gesture of respect. He further added that he has not made any request nor taken any step toward seeking a refund. 

The fine in question traces back to November 2023, when Binance agreed to pay $4.3 billion to settle major enforcement actions brought by several US agencies, including the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN). 

The coordinated actions involved allegations related to sanctions breaches, failing to maintain a strong anti-money laundering program, and others. Notably, CZ faced personal consequences during this period. He pleaded guilty to violating the Bank Secrecy Act and agreed to step down as Binance’s CEO, while paying a $50 million penalty. He was later sentenced to four months in prison in April 2024, after pleading guilty to enabling money laundering activities at his crypto exchange. 

New Clarity Emerges On CZ’s Presidential Pardon

Further insight into the Binance founder’s pardon surfaced in a recent interview conducted by Anthony Pompliano, the co-founder of Morgan Creek Digital, with CZ’s lawyer, Teresa Goody Guillen. In the YouTube interview, Pompliano asked Guillen to address the lingering questions surrounding why CZ received a pardon from US President Donald Trump. 

Guillen explained that the pardon was issued because the prosecution should not have occurred under the circumstances of his case. She emphasized that even the US President viewed the conviction as unjust and did not believe CZ had committed crimes warranting such treatment. She further added that the Binance founder held no criminal history, engaged in no fraud, and was connected to no identifiable victims, yet received a sentence harsher than any historically imposed for that specific charge. 

Pompliano also raised the issue of possible play-to-play dynamics or corruption influencing the pardon. Guillen dismissed such theories, describing them as misinformation and assumptions. She stated that she had seen nothing indicating the presence of any improper exchange or influence, behind the presidential pardon, especially pertaining to CZ’s alleged connection to World Liberty Finance, a Trump-linked crypto venture. 

Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin strategy has been in focus since the recent BTC crash. There have been speculations of what could happen to Saylor’s company, Strategy (MSTR), and its BTC holdings if the flagship crypto continues to crash. 

Schiff Predicts Bankruptcy For Saylor’s Strategy Amid Bitcoin Crash

In an X post, renowned economist Peter Schiff stated that Strategy’s entire business model is a fraud. He went on to challenge Saylor to debate this proposition with him. He added that regardless of what happens to Bitcoin, he believes that Strategy will eventually go bankrupt. Notably, MSTR’s mNAV recently fell below the value of its Bitcoin holdings, putting Saylor’s strategy at risk. 

Saylor’s Strategy has always benefited from trading at a premium to its Bitcoin holdings. However, with the mNAV now trading below 1, there are concerns about what may happen to the company if the Bitcoin bear market persists. Last week, Arkham suggested that Saylor and his company were offloading BTC. However, Saylor quickly dismissed these rumors, stating they were untrue. 

Saylor further stated that Strategy had bought Bitcoin every day last week despite the BTC crash, which the company confirmed this week when it announced an $835 million purchase. This marked its largest purchase since July, when it bought $2.46 billion worth of BTC. However, the company bought these coins at an average price of $102,171, which is well above BTC’s current price. 

This latest purchase has further put a significant amount of Strategy’s Bitcoin supply at a loss. CryptoQuant data shows that 43% of Saylor’s company’s BTC holdings are held at a loss, while 57% are in profit. This is based on the average purchase price per purchase rather than the total. Notably, the average purchase for the company’s total BTC holdings is $74,433. 

BTC Could Still Drop Below Strategy’s Average Buy Price

Veteran trader Peter Brandt predicted that Bitcoin could drop below $50,000, putting Strategy’s BTC holdings underwater. Brandt remarked that BTC could test Saylor ‘severely’ as it drops below their average purchase price. The trader explained that a drop below $50,000 could occur if the recent violation of the parabolic advance is similar to past events. 

A Bitcoin drop below Strategy’s average purchase price could put the company at risk of having to offload its holdings to repay its debts. Crypto pundit Dom Kwok claimed that Saylor’s company will be forced to sell its BTC to make interest payments. He added that treasury companies cannot operate when mNAV falls below 1, causing them to either sell their BTC or go bankrupt.  

Crypto pundit Mana warned that the market is about to witness a Strategy collapse. He claimed that investors are pulling out while the company’s earnings are bleeding. As such, he advised market participants to dump their MSTR shares. 

At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $91,400, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Ethereum has been on a downward trend since hitting a new all-time high in August. However, this decline in price was hastened by the robust market crash on October 10. After the prolonged period of bearish performance and steady pullback, the altcoin is finally experiencing a complete reset of its liquidity.

A Clean Slate For Price Action After Ethereum’s Liquidity Reset?

As the ongoing market-wide volatility overshadows Ethereum, the leading altcoin and network has now reached a critical junction. Altcoin Vector, an institutional-grade reporter and signal provider on the social media platform X, points to a key shift in the market dynamics of ETH. 

The market structure of Ethereum is drastically changing as liquidity across exchanges, DeFi platforms, and key on-chain channels undergo a reset. According to Altcoin Vector, ETH’s liquidity has developed a full reset, a crucial pattern that historically occurs prior to every major bottom in the altcoin’s price.

This complete structural liquidity reset is more than a brief halt. It is a sign of deep recalibration of ETH’s movement, trading, and flow within its quickly growing ecosystem. As a result, Ethereum is currently at a critical juncture where decreased liquidity could either lay the groundwork for a strong comeback or expose the asset to more severe price fluctuations in the future.

Altcoin Vector highlighted that a liquidity collapse is typically followed by multi-week bottoming rather than a structural breakdown. However, as long as liquidity recovers, the correction/bottoming window remains open. In the meantime, the leading altcoin is presently back in that market phase.

With being in a bottoming phase, Altcoin Vector declares that it is only a matter of time before the next expansion leg kicks off, particularly if liquidity is rebuilt in the upcoming weeks. However, this impending trend still carries its own risk. 

Should the liquidity take a lengthy period of time to return, the slow grind can remain active for a long time. Such a pattern would likely leave the structure of ETH increasingly vulnerable to price swings.

When To Buy ETH

When the market turns bearish, determining the ideal time to acquire a coin becomes increasingly difficult. As Ethereum’s price struggles with a downward trend, Leo Lanza, a builder and crypto investor, has outlined a good time to purchase ETH in order to minimize losses. 

In the X post, Lanza stated that when ETH trades 1:1 with ecosystem Total Value Locked (TVL), it is the best moment to purchase the altcoin, as often seen in the past. According to the investor, this is the precise point at which the market loses sight of the true value that Ethereum is securing, allowing for a strategic acquisition and positioning ahead of major price spikes.

Lanza calls ETH an inelastic-supply commodity. Its supply cannot grow to keep up with institutional demand as more value is secured throughout the Ethereum ecosystem. Wall Street is currently building on the network, and trillions of assets are being tokenized on the chain. This high demand will trigger relentless upward pressure on ETH as the security collateral of global finance.

According to industry voices, the US is likely to hold off buying Bitcoin until others move first. That view came from crypto entrepreneur Mike Alfred, who said the government will step in only “when there is enough pressure externally.”

His comment frames Washington’s approach as reactive rather than leading. The timing remains unclear.

Governments Watching Each Other

According to Alfred, a wider trend could follow if prices climb. He told listeners he expects Bitcoin to reach $1 million by 2033, and he argued that most countries will hold some Bitcoin by then, either directly or through indirect exposure.

Other well-known figures, including Strategy chairman Michael Saylor and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, have offered sooner time frames, suggesting seven-figure prices could arrive as early as 2030 or 2035.

Those forecasts are being used by some industry players to push governments to act now rather than later.

Strategic Reserve Still Lacks A Playbook

US President Donald Trump signed an executive order in March to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. The order directed use of budget-neutral methods for building the reserve, but a formal plan has not been rolled out.

Galaxy Digital analyst Alex Thorn has recently argued there is a “strong chance” the US will announce it is formally holding BTC as a strategic asset this year, yet no confirmed holdings have been made public. The proposal exists on paper; practical steps have not been made visible.

yes, i mean the U.S. government announcing, not bessent’s offhand comment on tv

that comment gave us hints of where they think the size of the reserve stands but is not a formal announcement of the SBR https://t.co/ADxguLJ8vH

— Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) September 11, 2025

Warning About Being Front-Run

Some industry figures say delay carries risks. Jan3 founder Samson Mow warned that the US “has to start” acquiring Bitcoin soon or risk being front-run by other nations, naming Pakistan as an example of a country planning purchases.

Alfred pointed out that widespread official recognition of Bitcoin in the US felt unlikely before the March order. Many in the sector see a budding race to secure BTC, and pressure from abroad could be a deciding factor for policymakers.

Institutions Joining The Fray

Institutions are expanding their footprint despite price moves. Bitcoin has slid below $95,000. Still, institutional activity appears to be growing.

A major US digital trading platform and a chartered bank have opened crypto trading to institutional clients, while the derivatives arm of the Singapore Exchange is adding perpetual futures.

Policy shifts have also allowed some firms to launch crypto exchange-traded products, widening access. These steps show that firms are building infrastructure and services even while prices wobble.

Supply concentration is also becoming more visible. Corporations now control about 14% of Bitcoin’s 21 million supply through product firms and companies holding BTC on their books.

That 14% number does not include large holdings by miners, sovereigns like El Salvador, or assets locked in decentralized finance protocols, all of which would push the share higher.

With so much supply clustered in specific hands, liquidity could tighten. Governments watching this trend may feel compelled to add Bitcoin to official stores simply to keep pace with other holders.

Waiting And Observing For Now

Alfred is basically saying that the US will probably wait before buying Bitcoin. He thinks the government wants to see other countries take the first big step before it starts collecting Bitcoin itself. For now, the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is more of a plan on paper than something actually happening.

La volatilità di mercato è tornata a farsi sentire e molti trader si chiedono se Bitcoin ($BTC) possa affrontare un nuovo calo significativo. Di solito l’attenzione si concentra quasi esclusivamente sul prezzo, ma spesso sono alcune debolezze interne della rete a generare ulteriori timori. Limiti come la lentezza delle conferme e le commissioni elevate possono accentuare la pressione nei momenti più critici.

Nelle ultime 24 ore, Bitcoin è sceso sotto i 90.000 dollari e ha provocato liquidazioni per oltre 568 milioni di dollari, di cui la maggior parte provenienti da posizioni long. A questo si è aggiunta la comparsa del cosiddetto death cross – un incrocio tra medie mobili in cui la media a breve termine scende sotto quella a lungo termine. In analisi tecnica, questo incrocio viene spesso interpretato come potenziale segnale di debolezza, anche se non garantisce necessariamente ulteriori ribassi.

Quando il mercato accelera, la rete Bitcoin fatica a gestire l’aumento di attività. Le conferme delle transazioni, che in condizioni normali richiedono diversi minuti, possono arrivare a durare ore. Le commissioni – spesso chiamate “gas” anche se il termine è più comune su altre blockchain – possono aumentare rapidamente. Questo genera congestione e rende difficile spostare i fondi verso gli exchange per vendere o verso un portafoglio offline per maggiore sicurezza.

Questi ritardi non rappresentano solo un problema tecnico: possono peggiorare la situazione nei momenti di incertezza. Se gli utenti non riescono a spostare i propri BTC quando ne hanno bisogno, la loro capacità di reagire ai movimenti del mercato si riduce drasticamente.

Il problema di fondo è la scalabilità, cioè la capacità del sistema di reggere un alto numero di transazioni contemporaneamente. Questo limite ha a lungo frenato la possibilità di trasformare Bitcoin in una base solida per applicazioni decentralizzate (dApp) e servizi avanzati.

Negli ultimi anni, tuttavia, l’attenzione si è spostata sulle soluzioni Layer-2: protocolli costruiti sopra la blockchain principale che cercano di unire la sicurezza di Bitcoin con una maggiore velocità e flessibilità. L’obiettivo è affrontare proprio i problemi che emergono nei momenti di forte stress del mercato.

Tra i progetti che puntano a migliorare il funzionamento complessivo dell’ecosistema c’è Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), che propone un’infrastruttura capace di aumentare la capacità della rete e introdurre funzionalità avanzate.

Costruire un Ecosistema di dApp e DeFi su Bitcoin

Le implicazioni di questa architettura vanno oltre la semplice velocità. Introducendo gli smart contract, Bitcoin Hyper potrebbe aprire la porta alla creazione di un vero ecosistema applicativo su Bitcoin. Questo include progetti di finanza decentralizzata (DeFi) per prestiti, staking e scambi automatizzati, piattaforme NFT dinamiche e applicazioni di gioco basate interamente sulla blockchain.

Gli sviluppatori potrebbero utilizzare linguaggi familiari come Rust – già molto diffuso nello sviluppo web3 – per costruire e distribuire le applicazioni.

Un elemento importante sarà il Canonical Bridge, progettato per permettere trasferimenti semplici e sicuri di $BTC tra il livello principale e quello secondario, mantenendo liquidità e accessibilità.

Il token nativo $HYPER fungerà da elemento centrale dell’ecosistema, con ruoli legati alla governance e alle ricompense per lo staking. Con la possibilità di mettere in staking i token fin dal token generation event (TGE), il progetto punta a coinvolgere fin da subito la propria community.

Attualmente, il token è disponibile in prevendita a 0,013295 dollari, con la possibilità di metterlo in staking per un rendimento annuo del 41%.

Vai a Bitcoin Hyper

One of the world’s most respected quantum computing researchers has sharply pulled forward the perceived timeline for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer – and Bitcoin is suddenly in the crosshairs of the debate.

In a new post on his Shtetl-Optimized blog, theoretical computer scientist Scott Aaronson writes that, given the “current staggering rate of hardware progress,” he now thinks “it’s a live possibility that we’ll have a fault-tolerant quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm before the next US presidential election.” He frames the post as an attempt to process “too much happening” in quantum computing, citing a string of advances across hardware and verifiable quantum advantage experiments, and concludes: “Evidence continues to pile up that we are not living in the universe of Gil Kalai and the other quantum computing skeptics.”#

What This Means For Bitcoin

For Bitcoin, the key words are “fault-tolerant” and “Shor’s algorithm.” Bitcoin’s ECDSA signatures over the secp256k1 elliptic curve derive their security from the hardness of the discrete logarithm problem. A sufficiently large, error-corrected quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm can, in principle, solve both integer factorization and discrete logs in polynomial time – directly undermining the assumptions behind today’s public-key cryptography.

The market reaction crystallized on X. Castle Island Ventures partner Nic Carter highlighted Aaronson’s line about a pre-election Shor-capable device and stressed that the messenger matters: “this guy is one of the most notable quantum academics/researchers/educators and is known as major quantum SKEPTIC / realist.” He added that Aaronson is “specifically known for not selling out to quantum vaporware companies,” arguing that “people don’t understand the significance of HIM saying this” and remarking, “A lot changed this year.”

Crypto voices quickly connected the dots to Bitcoin and other crypto assets. “I am honestly worried for bitcoin. This is an opportunity for Ethereum,” wrote one commentator, while StarkWare co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson replied, “I’m honestly worried for both.” The message: no major chain that relies on classical public-key cryptography is immune to a sufficiently mature quantum adversary.

Others urged the industry not to jump from “live possibility” to imminent catastrophe. Haseeb Qureshi argued it is “important not to scaremonger here about quantum timelines,” drawing a line between demonstrating Shor’s algorithm and breaking real-world 256-bit elliptic-curve keys. Running Shor to factor a moderately sized number would already be a landmark, but, he noted, scaling to numbers with “hundreds of digits” would require a “huge degree of scaling and engineering.”

To anchor expectations, Qureshi pointed to prediction platform Metaculus, where forecasters currently place the first RSA challenge number being factored by Shor’s algorithm around the mid-2030s, with a wide distribution around that date. Notably, that median has moved dramatically in just a few years; in 2022, community expectations were centered a couple of decades later. Progress, in other words, is running ahead of earlier forecasts, but still not on the scale of “next cycle, everything breaks.”

“Important to take seriously. But not imminent by any means. All blockchains will need to adapt to post-quantum cryptography. An orderly transition probably needs at least 4 years, which means we have the next few years to decide on a viable upgrade path,” Qureshi concluded.

Developers Need To Get Serious Now

Alex Pruden, CEO of Project Eleven, an applied lab of builders & technologists at the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography formed in 2024, countered: “We don’t need to panic, but we need to get serious. I wish people would stop referencing Metaculus. It’s just a random survey platform without any mechanism to filter people w/ authority from randos on the internet.”

While Pruden acknowledged that it is “notoriously difficult to predict how the development of a quantum computer will play out,” he warned that technologies like quantum computing or AI “often happen not in a linear way, but as a series of breakthroughs.” He added: “Even if it’s only a 1% chance in the next five years, given that it breaks **the fundamental security guarantee which secures assets onchain**, why shouldn’t this be the top priority for every blockchain? Whenever it does happen, it will be the only thing that matters.”

For Bitcoin specifically, the risk is unevenly distributed. Pay-to-public-key (P2PK) outputs and any address that has already revealed its public key on-chain are inherently more exposed in a post-quantum world than single-use pay-to-public-key-hash (P2PKH) outputs that never reuse addresses. Long-dormant early coins and heavily reused addresses would be natural targets once a quantum attacker can derive private keys from known public keys at scale.

The harder problem is governance and timing. Aaronson’s “live possibility before the next US presidential election” does not mean a Bitcoin-breaking machine exists or is guaranteed on that schedule. It does, however, narrow the psychological distance between quantum timelines and Bitcoin’s upgrade horizon. Experts like Charles Edwards already argue that an “orderly transition” to post-quantum or hybrid signatures would require multiple years of planning and coordination across nodes, miners, wallets and exchanges, and should be completed before—not after—ECDSA is practically breakable.

At press time, BTC traded at $91,417.

Иранские власти предложили странам-участницам Шанхайской организации сотрудничества (ШОС), включая Россию, Китай и Индию, выпускать общую криптовалюту. Руководство находящейся под международными санкциями страны хотело бы создать механизм межбанковского обмена сообщениями «без западного вмешательства».

What to Know:

• 1️⃣ Aster’s 26% breakout yesterday and potential path to a $10B market cap show selective altcoins can still advance despite broader market weakness.
• 2️⃣ The key Aster support near $1.13 suggests even the current pullback could preserve the bullish structure while flushing excess leverage and sentiment.
• 3️⃣ Traders rotating beyond majors are increasingly targeting high-beta memes and presales, searching for the next 1000x crypto before listings.
• 4️⃣ Maxi Doge combines meme-driven branding, leveraged-trading utility, and audited fixed-supply tokenomics, offering a structured yet speculative way to engage the narrative.

Altcoins just reminded everyone it’s not dead yet.

While the wider market has been busy bleeding, Aster ($ASTER) ripped 26% higher in 24 hours, breaking out of a months-long consolidation and putting a potential march to a $10B market cap on the table.

The thesis from high-conviction analysts is simple: usage of Aster’s DEX is surging, buybacks and burns are tightening circulating supply, and the chart just completed a rounded-bottom breakout.

If that supply shock story plays out and the market cap really does press toward $10B, price projections cluster around the $4 region from today’s roughly $2 zone.

Technically, the key battleground sits higher up the chart, but one level matters on the downside: $1.13. That’s where the last big wave of buyers stepped in. A pullback toward that zone would hurt some late entries but wouldn’t invalidate the larger bullish structure; it would just slow the move and force another reset before any attack on new highs.

All of this is happening against a grim backdrop where $BTC and other majors have slid hard from recent highs, dragging total crypto market cap down to $3.09T and souring sentiment.

Aster’s strength shows capital is still willing to chase compelling narratives and real fee generation, even in a choppy environment. That’s exactly the kind of mood where speculative capital also starts hunting for earlier-stage plays that could be the next 1000x crypto.

One of the loudest contenders in that lane right now: Maxi Doge ($MAXI), a meme presale surfing the same risk-on pockets Aster just lit up.

Aster’s Supply Shock Story Sets The Stage For Maxi Doge

Aster’s breakout is built on a textbook mix of fundamentals and narrative. The DEX is throwing off millions in daily revenue, funneling that into buybacks and burns that steadily reduce float while usage keeps climbing.

The result is a clean series of higher lows, a tightening triangle, and then a decisive pop as demand finally overwhelms available supply.

That kind of move does two things for the rest of the market.

1. First, it proves traders are still willing to pay up for tokens linked to real on-chain activity, even while macro headwinds weigh on $BTC.
2. Second, it reminds everyone how violently a name can reprice once accumulation is done quietly and the chart finally flips from ‘ignored’ to ‘in play.’

Maxi Doge is angling for a similar dynamic, just much earlier in the curve. Instead of a DEX revenue machine, $MAXI leans into high-beta meme branding and a clear use case around leveraged trading.

The project positions itself as a ‘giga-Chad’ Doge for degens, with plans to tie into futures platforms that could eventually let holders trade with up to 1000x leverage, plus trading leaderboards and gamified events for active users.

Under the hood, the token runs on Ethereum with a fixed 150.24B supply, audited smart contracts, and no ability for the team to mint new tokens, blacklist wallets, or add arbitrary fees.

That’s important in a meme market still haunted by rug pulls and stealth inflation. Roughly 40% of supply is reserved for marketing, with dedicated allocations for liquidity, development, and staking, designed to keep the ecosystem funded without handing insiders cheap tokens.

In other words, if Aster is showing how a strong product plus transparent tokenomics can still rip in a tired market, Maxi Doge is trying to preload those same ingredients into a meme format with far more upside volatility.

Maxi Doge Presale Aims For High-Beta Upside In 2025–2026

On the numbers side, the Maxi Doge ($MAXI) presale has already pulled in more than $4M, helped by aggressive branding and growing coverage across trading communities.

Tokens are currently offered at $0.000269, giving the project a relatively low implied valuation versus the kind of targets meme-coin traders like to throw around.

One of the big hooks is staking that’s live during presale. The structure is simple: lock $MAXI, earn more $MAXI, with rewards funded from a 5% staking allocation and distributed over time. That encourages holders to sit tight instead of flipping immediately at TGE.

Looking further out, our Maxi Doge price prediction puts an initial upside band that’s punchy without being ridiculous. Fresh analysis suggests $MAXI could trade as high as $0.0058 in 2026 if the broader cycle cooperates and key CEX listings land.

Relative to today’s $0.000269 presale level, a 2026 high of $0.0058 would represent around 20x.

Those are big numbers, but still well below the 100x memes floating around social media, which keeps the projections at least loosely connected to similar past cycles in the meme sector. To learn more, check out our guide on how to buy $MAXI.

The roadmap is built around that thesis. Once the presale wraps, liquidity will be pushed to DEX listings, followed by attempts to secure CEX exposure and roll out trading games, contests, and futures integrations.

Combine that with a fully-audited, non-mintable contract and no private-sale overhang, and the pitch is clear: a meme coin trying to behave structurally like a ‘real’ alt while still giving holders a shot at outsized moves if the leverage narrative catches fire.

In a market where Aster is proving that strong stories still get paid, Maxi Doge is positioning itself as one of the more interesting high-octane bets on that same risk-on rotation.

Основатель цифровой медиакомпании Barstool Sports Дэйв Портной (Dave Portnoy) рассказал своим 3,7 млн подписчикам в соцсети X, какие криптовалюты он купил на днях, воспользовавшись спадом на крипторынке.

It has been a tough week for the alpha dog of crypto and analysts aren’t so sure when the beating will stop.

Bitcoin hovered a little over $90,000 on Wednesday while Ethereum traded around $3,041, showing sharp moves after a rough week.

Over the past seven days, Bitcoin fell more than 12% and Ethereum dropped about 11%, according to market updates. Traders and analysts say the swings reflect both on-chain activity and wider macro pressure.

Long-Term Holders Rotate

According to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju, much of the recent price action reflects long-term holders moving coins between each other and into new hands.

He said older Bitcoin holders have been selling into buyers from traditional finance, including spot ETF vehicles and corporate treasuries, which then hold the assets for a long period.

Earlier this year he flagged heavy selling by OG whales when prices peaked, but he now points to fresh liquidity from different institutional sources that are changing how supply is absorbed.

Some On-Chain Signals Point To Normal Correction

On-chain metrics suggest the drop may be a mid-cycle correction rather than a full market reversal. Reports show short-term holders were panic selling and reducing exposure, while long-term holders performed routine profit-taking.

Analysts note that newer buyers continued to add funds during the slide, but inflows were not large enough to offset the wave of selling from nervous short-term traders. Bitcoin’s pullback from highs near $126K is cited as part of this rebalancing.

Based on reports, more than $1 trillion was wiped off the broader crypto market over six weeks, and the total market cap has fallen by a quarter since an early October high.

Tracking more than 18,500 coins, CoinGecko data shows the sector’s value slid sharply, with Bitcoin down about 25% over that period to roughly $91,200 at one point. Trading flows have thinned, and many market participants say both retail and institutional conviction weakened as prices tumbled.

Large Buyers See Discounts

JAN3 CEO Samson Mow told reporters that some buyers are largely price-insensitive and can use dips to increase holdings. He named examples like Strategy and other firms with big treasury budgets, and he pointed to stablecoin issuers and high-revenue companies that can add to positions.

At about $95k, Mow suggested Bitcoin may look like a near 20% “discount” for those buyers, making accumulation more attractive while supply remains limited.

Caught Between Chain Signals And Macro Risk

Meanwhile, analysts at Nansen and others say Bitcoin now behaves more like a macro asset, moving with liquidity, the dollar, and policy cues.

Traders have also mentioned forced selling and tightened risk appetite after global events pushed sentiment lower in early October.

Political backing increased under US President Donald Trump earlier this year, and Wall Street’s adoption via spot ETFs helped, but those supports have not prevented the recent pullback.

A fresh public clash between Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson and the Cardano Foundation (CF) has reignited long-running tensions over governance, accountability and culture inside the ecosystem. The latest dispute centers on two flashpoints: a community-approved summit budget and a dispute over “useful idiots.”

Commenting on X about the Cardano Summit in Berlin and its associated budget, Hoskinson attacked what he framed as resistance to scrutiny at the Foundation: “Also known as we don’t want accountability, oversight, or real KPIs so please let us return to no scrutiny and 6 million ada parties in Berlin.”

The Hoskinson Vs. Cardano Foundation Beef Flares Up Again

He linked that criticism directly to comments from Nicolas Cerny, the Cardano Foundation’s community and governance lead. In an earlier post, Cerny had written: “The ‘CF derangement syndrome’ is flaring up again. I strongly advise practicing critical thinking rather than simply parroting the talking points of certain individuals. You’re better than just being a useful idiot for someone’s political games.”

Hoskinson seized on this wording as emblematic of a deeper cultural problem at the Foundation, saying: “It is also extraordinary that the community lead at the CF calls the community ‘useful idiots’ when they ask for oversight and control over their foundation. Are you all getting the arrogance of their culture? It’s fundamentally broken.”

He later drew a clear line around his own base: “No one in my community is a useful idiot.”

Cerny, in follow-up posts, tried to supply context. He argued that fair criticism “is always welcome and encouraged,” claimed the CF has “a culture of listening and engaging,” and pointed back to Cardano’s original three-pillar model.

Citing a 2018 description of Cardano.org, he noted that the Foundation was initially tasked with standards, community support and regulatory engagement, while Emurgo was presented as the entity responsible for investing in start-ups and helping businesses, including stablecoin projects, build on Cardano.

“Based on this,” Cerny wrote, “Emurgo was the entity originally responsible for getting businesses, like stablecoin projects, to build on Cardano […] Many things have changed since then, and the Cardano Foundation has had to pick up more responsibilities, so I understand why people are frustrated. However, it seems unfair to blame an organization for not fulfilling a role it was never originally designed to fill. Regardless, we are doing it now because it matters.”

The Foundation today explicitly presents a wider mandate, including support for DeFi liquidity, Web3 integrations and real-world adoption, and has formalized these priorities in its public roadmap. Hoskinson, however, continues to argue that structural issues at the CF outweigh those efforts.

Replying to a community member who urged IOG, CF and Emurgo to “team up in favour of growth” and warned that “this is wrong” if the three entities cannot work constructively, Hoskinson was blunt: “I spent years trying to work with them. It is not possible with their current form and culture. They need oversight and leadership changes. Only uncompromising and continuous scrutiny can force this change and enable a reset.”

The result is a governance paradox at the heart of Cardano. On paper, the ecosystem is rolling out one of the industry’s most elaborate on-chain governance stacks. In practice, its founding institutions remain locked in a public struggle over mandate, legitimacy and tone — one now symbolized by Berlin’s “6 million ada parties” on one side and “useful idiots” on the other.

ประเด็นสำคัญ

• ราคา XRP ร่วง 1% วันนี้ ทำให้การปรับลงตลอด 7 วันขยายเป็น 11.2%
• กระแสผิดหวัง ETF ยังคงต่อเนื่อง แม้มียอดไหลเข้ารวมกว่า 270 ล้านดอลลาร์
• สัดส่วนผู้ถือที่ยังมีกำไรเหลือเพียง 58.5% เพิ่มความเสี่ยงแรงขาย

กระแสเงินไหลเข้า ETF ยังดี แต่ไม่ช่วยดันราคา XRP

กระแสเงินไหลเข้า ETF แบบสปอตยังคงมีต่อเนื่อง แต่ไม่สามารถดันราคา XRP ได้ โดยกองทุน XRPC ETF ของ Canary มียอดไหลเข้า 25.4 ล้านดอลลาร์ในวันที่ 18 พฤศจิกายน ส่วนกองทุนใหม่อย่าง EZRP ของ Franklin Templeton ก็แทบไม่ทำให้ตลาดขยับ แม้สินทรัพย์ภายใต้การบริหารจะรวมกว่า 270 ล้านดอลลาร์ แต่ความสนใจจากสถาบันยังไม่มากพอจะหยุดแนวโน้มขาลงหลายสัปดาห์ของ XRP

การร่วง 40% จากจุดสูงสุดตลอดกาลในเดือนกรกฎาคมที่ 3.65 ดอลลาร์ สะท้อนโมเมนต์ขายเมื่อมีข่าวดีตามสูตรเดิม ซึ่งบ่งชี้ว่าการอนุมัติ ETF ถูกสะท้อนไปในราคาแล้ว การจับตายอดไหลเข้าของ XRPC จึงเป็นตัวชี้วัดสำคัญว่าจะเป็นแรงพยุงราคาได้หรือไม่

วิกฤตความสามารถทำกำไรของผู้ถือ

ปัจจุบันมีเพียง 58.5% ของผู้ถือ XRP ที่ยังอยู่ในกำไร ซึ่งเป็นระดับอ่อนแอที่สุดตั้งแต่พฤศจิกายน 2024 ประมาณ 26.5 พันล้าน XRP ที่ซื้อบนจุดสูงท้องถิ่นยังติดดอยอยู่ ส่งผลให้เกิดแรงขายล Panic เพิ่มขึ้นเมื่อราคาย่อตัว

Glassnode ชี้ว่า ปริมาณ XRP ไหลเข้าสู่กระดานเทรดพุ่งขึ้นสู่ 1.4 พันล้าน XRP และราคาของ XRP อาจพุ่งทะยานภายใน 60 วันนี้ บ่งบอกถึงการกระจายขายมากกว่าสะสม ประวัติการณ์ชี้ว่า เมื่อปริมาณเหรียญที่ติดดอยสูงขึ้น มักสัมพันธ์กับการปรับลงเร็วขึ้น หากไม่มีปัจจัยหนุนใหม่เข้ามา

ภาวะขาลงทางเทคนิคยังเด่นชัด

XRP หลุดแนวรับสำคัญที่ 2.20 ดอลลาร์ ซึ่งเป็นระดับ Fibonacci 78.6% โดยราคาตอนนี้ต่ำกว่าค่าเฉลี่ยเคลื่อนที่ทุกเส้น แนวโน้มใหญ่บ่งชี้แรงกดดันขาลงต่อเนื่อง

อินดิเคเตอร์โมเมนต์ยังซ้ำเติมโครงสร้างขาลง RSI ที่ 41.48 ยังไม่แตะโซน Oversold ขณะที่ MACD ยังอยู่ในภาวะหมี

ตลาดเริ่มจับตาแนว 2.10 ดอลลาร์ ซึ่งเป็นจุดต่ำของเดือนกรกฎาคม 2025 หากปิดต่ำกว่านี้ อาจเปิดทางสู่ 2.00 ดอลลาร์ ระดับที่เคยถูกปกป้องตอนราคาดีดตัวช่วงข่าวปิดดีลกับ SEC และอาจกระตุ้นแรงขายบังคับให้รุนแรงขึ้น

มุมมองต่อ XRP: สิ่งที่ต้องติดตาม

XRP ยังคงถูกกดดันจากโมเมนต์ ETF ที่แผ่วลง ความสามารถทำกำไรของผู้ถือที่อ่อนแอลง และโครงสร้างเทคนิคที่เสียรูป แม้ภาวะ Oversold อาจสร้างรีบาวด์ระยะสั้นได้ แต่แนวโน้มหลักยังเป็นขาลงจนกว่ากระแสเงินจาก ETF จะเริ่มนิ่ง หรือ Ripple ส่งปัจจัยขับเคลื่อนใหม่เข้ามา จุดสำคัญที่ต้องจับตาคือ 2.10 ดอลลาร์ หากหลุด อาจเกิดการเร่งขายต่อเนื่องไปสู่โซน 2.00 ดอลลาร์ได้
