Southeast Asian country of Laos is planning to reroute power away from Bitcoin and crypto mining operations by the end of Q1 2026.

Laos To Direct Power From Crypto Mining To AI, EVs

As reported by Reuters, Laos is looking to shift energy to industries that contribute more to economic growth than mining operations related to Bitcoin and other cryptos.

BTC and some other blockchains use a consensus mechanism based on the proof-of-work (PoW), where validators known as miners compete against each other using computing resources (measured as “Hashrate“) to solve a mathematical puzzle. The first to find the solution earns the opportunity to add the next block to the chain and claim the associated rewards.

Before 2021, China dominated Bitcoin mining, hosting a significant part of the total world Hashrate. In May 2021, however, crypto mining in the nation fell prey to an infamous ban, leading to a sharp crash in the network Hashrate.

Filling the void left behind by Chinese miners, several energy-rich countries began attracting mining operations to their grids. Laos was one of them. “We proposed to the government in 2021 to supply to crypto mining due to the oversupply of electricity domestically,” said Chanthaboun Soukaloun, the country’s deputy energy minister, in an interview with Reuters.

Laos is a big hub of hydroelectrical power and a key exporter of clean energy in the Southeast Asian bloc. Despite its abundant energy reserves, the government has now judged that its power can be better allocated to supplying industries that produce more jobs and build domestic supply chains, instead of crypto mining.

The sectors the government is considering prioritizing include AI data centers, metal refining, and electric vehicles. Initially, the country had planned to cut off crypto mining completely this year, but abundant rainfall made it decide to maintain electricity supply for a while longer. Soukaloun said that the government is now planning to end supply by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

The shift isn’t a sudden one, as Laos has already been scaling back on crypto mining operations. Mining farms related to Bitcoin and other assets utilized a peak power of 500 MW back in 2021 and 2022, but their consumption is down 70% to just 150 MW today.

Speaking of Bitcoin mining, the global Hashrate has been on the decline recently, as the chart for the 7-day average value of the metric from Blockchain.com shows.

The indicator set a new all-time high (ATH) in late September, but it has since seen a notable drop, indicating that miners are scaling back on their facilities.

Bitcoin Price

Bitcoin has witnessed a further drop of 3% over the last 24 hours that has taken its price back to the $107,900 level.

С начала года число разработчиков в проектах на блокчейне Эфириума увеличилось на 16 181 человек. Это больше, чем у Solana и Биткоина — 11 534 и 7494 соответственно.

Уголовная ответственность за незаконные валютные операции, в том числе сделки с цифровой валютой, позволит усилить контроль государства за финансовыми нарушениями, считает член комиссии Общественной палаты по общественной экспертизе законопроектов и иных нормативных актов Евгений Машаров.

One of the largest publicly-traded Ethereum (ETH) treasury firms, SharpLink Gaming, today announced that it had raised $76.5 million in a direct stock offering at a price above market rate. A portion of the proceeds is likely to be used to buy more ETH.

SharpLink Raises $76.5 Million To Buy More Ethereum

According to an announcement made earlier today, SharpLink Gaming has entered into a securities purchase agreement with an unknown institutional investor for the purchase and sale of 4.5 million shares of its common stock.

Notably, the Minneapolis-based firm stated that it had sold shares for $17 per share, a 12% premium above its market rate of $15.5 recorded in the closing hours of trading on October 15. It is also at a premium to the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the firm’s current holdings of 840,124 ETH.

The offering is expected to close on October 17, subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions. Commenting on the development, Joseph Chalom, co-CEO of SharpLink said:

This is a novel equity sale transaction that is both accretive to stockholders and strategically structured, reflecting strong institutional confidence in SharpLink and our long-term vision. By raising equity at a meaningful premium to both market price and NAV, we’re able to continue accumulating ETH and increasing ETH-per-share for our investors.

He added that Ethereum adoption continues to grow among both retail and institutional investors, across different verticals such as stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), and tokenized assets.

Following today’s announcement, SharpLink shares are slightly down, trading at $15.07 at the time of writing. However, the shares are up an impressive 445% over the past six months, largely driven by an increase in the price of ETH.

As mentioned earlier, SharpLink is currently ranked second among publicly-traded firms in terms of the amount of ETH held in their treasuries. BitMine Technologies continues to lead the pack, with more than three million ETH on its balance sheet, according to data from Coingecko.

Is Crypto Treasury Still The Play?

The practice of companies developing crypto treasury strategies has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It picked up pace following the victory of pro-crypto Donald Trump in the November 2024 US presidential election.

This trend is not just limited to leading digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), or Ethereum, but companies are also exploring crypto treasury strategies focused on other altcoins such as Solana (SOL), Avalanche (AVAX), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

That said, some warning signs have the investors doubting the benefits of a crypto-focused treasury strategy on a company’s finances. For instance, recently, Metaplanet’s valuation fell below the value of the total BTC it holds on its balance sheet.

Similarly, Michael Saylor’s Strategy’s shares – the largest publicly-listed firm in the world by amount of BTC held – have also shown poor performance over the past few months. At press time, ETH trades at $3,921, down 1.7% in the past 24 hours.

Гендиректор JAN3 Самсон Моу (Samson Mow) предположил, что следующее бычье ралли биткоина превзойдет скорость роста стоимости золота. На этой неделе золото неоднократно достигало новых максимумов, преодолев $4370 за унцию.

Kryptowaluty narzędziem przestępstw? Australia postanowiła ograniczyć działalność bankomatów kryptowalutowych. Powodem jest gwałtowny wzrost liczby oszustw i nadużyć.

Agencja AUSTRAC oraz australijska policja federalna poinformowały, że maszyny umożliwiające wymianę gotówki na cyfrowe aktywa stały się celem przestępców. Coraz częściej wykorzystywane są do prania pieniędzy i wyłudzeń. Australia wypowiada wojnę bankomatom kryptowalutowym. Jak wpłynie to na całą branżę?

Nowe regulacje i ograniczenia

Władze Australii wprowadziły nowe przepisy. Mają one przeciwdziałać nadużyciom. Zgodnie z raportami, na wielu bankomatach wprowadzono limit 5 000 dolarów australijskich na jedną transakcję.

Operatorzy muszą teraz stosować także wzmocnione procedury identyfikacji użytkowników. Na ekranach urządzeń pojawiają się też wyraźne ostrzeżenia przed oszustwami.

AUSTRAC utworzyła specjalną grupę zadaniową do kontroli operatorów. W miejscu, gdzie wykryto nieprawidłowości, nakazano wstrzymanie działalności lub cofnięto licencje.

Nie będziemy odnawiać zezwoleń dla podmiotów, które nie spełniają standardów bezpieczeństwa – oświadczyła agencja w komunikacie prasowym.

Główni poszkodowani seniorzy

Problem ma wymiar społeczny. Dane pokazują, że rocznie przez australijskie bankomaty kryptowalutowe przepływa około 275 milionów dolarów australijskich. Ze wspomnianej kwoty aż 99% to wpłaty gotówkowe. To bardzo wymowne liczby.

W samej Tasmanii 15 osób straciło łącznie 2,5 miliona dolarów w serii oszustw, a jedna z ofiar oddała przestępcom 750 000 dolarów. Australia wypowiada wojnę bankomatom kryptowalutowym?

Oszustwa dotykają przede wszystkim seniorów. Średni wiek poszkodowanych wynosił 65 lat. Schemat działania oszustów jest bardzo podobny. Fałszywy konsultant telefoniczny nakłania do wpłaty gotówki do bankomatu kryptowalutowego, po czym środki są natychmiast przesyłane do zagranicznych portfeli, często niemożliwych do namierzenia.

Luka w systemie i trudności z odzyskaniem środków

Australijskie służby podkreślają, że gdy tylko gotówka zostanie zamieniona na kryptowalutę, odzyskanie środków jest prawie niemożliwe. Pieniądze są błyskawicznie transferowane do innych portfeli, mieszane w transakcjach on-chain i często kończą w jurysdykcjach, które nie współpracują z australijskimi organami ścigania.

Z tego powodu rząd i instytucje finansowe apelują o większą ostrożność przy inwestowaniu w aktywa cyfrowe. Jednocześnie zaznaczają, że same kryptowaluty nie są problemem – kluczowe jest to, jak i gdzie są kupowane oraz przechowywane.

Rosnąca potrzeba bezpieczeństwa w świecie krypto

Rosnące ryzyko oszustw sprawia, że użytkownicy coraz częściej szukają bezpiecznych i zdecentralizowanych rozwiązań, które pozwalają zachować pełną kontrolę nad swoimi aktywami. W tym kontekście pojawia się coraz więcej nowoczesnych portfeli kryptowalutowych, które stawiają na przejrzystość i ochronę danych użytkownika.

Jednym z narzędzi, które zyskało w ostatnich miesiącach dużą popularność wśród inwestorów, jest Best Wallet. Wspomniany projekt to decentralizowany portfel kryptowalutowy oparty na blockchainie Ethereum.

Aplikacja pozwala nie tylko przechowywać i wymieniać kryptowaluty, ale także śledzić rynek, analizować trendy i uczestniczyć w nowych projektach DeFi.

Best Wallet – bezpieczeństwo, prostota i kontrola

Best Wallet to portfel typu non-custodial, co oznacza, że użytkownik samodzielnie zarządza swoimi kluczami prywatnymi i nie musi przechodzić procesu weryfikacji tożsamości. W świecie, w którym kradzieże cyfrowych aktywów sięgają miliardów dolarów rocznie, takie rozwiązanie daje poczucie niezależności i ochrony.

Portfel oferuje szereg zabezpieczeń – od czterocyfrowego kodu PIN, przez blokadę biometryczną (Face ID lub odcisk palca), aż po funkcję ukrywania tokenów uznanych za spam lub potencjalne oszustwo. Co ważne, Best Wallet nigdy nie prosi użytkowników o ujawnianie kluczy prywatnych, co znacząco minimalizuje ryzyko phishingu.

Nowa era inwestowania i token $BEST

Ekosystem Best Wallet rozwija się dynamicznie, a jego centralnym elementem jest token $BEST, działający w sieci Ethereum. Token umożliwia dostęp do ekskluzywnych funkcji, stakingu z atrakcyjnym oprocentowaniem (nawet do 300%) oraz udziału w airdropach.

Co ciekawe, przedsprzedaż kryptowalut w ramach projektu rozpoczęła się w listopadzie 2024 roku i przyciągnęła uwagę inwestorów z całego świata. Zainteresowanie nie dziwi – Best Wallet łączy prostotę z innowacyjnością, a jego ekosystem obejmuje również wbudowaną zdecentralizowaną giełdę (DEX), dostęp do aplikacji Web 3.0 i możliwość handlu tokenami bez konieczności korzystania z zewnętrznych platform.

Jak inwestorzy mogą chronić swoje środki?

Rosnąca liczba oszustw, takich jak te związane z bankomatami kryptowalutowymi w Australii, to sygnał ostrzegawczy dla całego rynku. Eksperci podkreślają, że kluczem do bezpieczeństwa jest świadome zarządzanie aktywami oraz wybór narzędzi, które gwarantują pełną kontrolę nad funduszami.

Użytkownicy coraz częściej zadają sobie pytanie, jak zakupić kryptowaluty w sposób bezpieczny i przejrzysty. Odpowiedzią na to wyzwanie mogą być właśnie zdecentralizowane portfele, takie jak Best Wallet, które eliminują pośredników i minimalizują ryzyko utraty danych.

Opinie użytkowników i rozwój projektu

Recenzje Best Wallet w sklepach Google Play i App Store są w przeważającej większości pozytywne. Użytkownicy chwalą intuicyjny interfejs, łatwość obsługi i brak konieczności przechodzenia weryfikacji KYC. Wysoko oceniana jest także integracja z DeFi, dzięki której można uczestniczyć w nowych projektach czy stakingu bez wychodzenia z aplikacji.

Dodatkowo, twórcy Best Wallet zapowiadają wprowadzenie szeregu nowych funkcji, takich jak agregator stakingu, analityka rynkowa, rozszerzenie przeglądarkowe czy nawet obsługa NFT. Te innowacje mają sprawić, że Best Wallet stanie się jednym z najbardziej kompletnych narzędzi do zarządzania kryptowalutami na rynku.

Co dalej z australijskim rynkiem krypto?

Decyzja rządu Australii o zaostrzeniu przepisów może wyznaczyć trend, który stanie się punktem odniesienia dla innych państw. Chociaż działania władz mają na celu ochronę konsumentów, eksperci ostrzegają, że zbyt restrykcyjne podejście może spowolnić rozwój innowacji w sektorze blockchain.

Z drugiej strony, sytuacja pokazuje, jak ważne jest wdrażanie rozwiązań, pozwalających użytkownikom zachować niezależność finansową. W tym kontekście portfele takie jak Best Wallet mogą odegrać kluczową rolę w budowaniu zaufania do całej branży.

W świecie, w którym regulacje stają się coraz bardziej rygorystyczne, wybór odpowiedniego narzędzia ma znaczenie większe niż kiedykolwiek wcześniej. Niezależnie od tego, czy korzystasz z bankomatów kryptowalutowych, czy handlujesz na najlepszej giełdzie kryptowalut.

A recent investigation alleges that since US President Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the Trump family’s crypto fortune has surged to over $1 billion from his multiple digital asset ventures.

Trump Family’s Crypto Ventures Reap over $1B

On Thursday, the Financial Times (FT) reported that the Trump crypto empire, built by the US President and his family, has generated more than $1 billion in pre-tax profits over the past year.

The investigation explained that Trump’s crypto ventures have significantly boosted the US President’s net worth on paper by billions of dollars. However, they calculated the potential income only from the realized profits of World Liberty Financial’s WLFI token and USD1 stablecoin, and the official TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins.

According to FT’s calculations, the TRUMP and MELANIA memecoins, which launched just days before Trump took office in January, have made around $362 million and $65 million, respectively, for a total of $427 million in sales and trading fees.

Meanwhile, the report’s data estimates that the WLFI token has generated approximately $550 million so far, and potentially made $42 million from the USD1 stablecoin, which recorded $2.71 billion in total sales.

To maintain the value of USD1, the company must hold assets in reserve to back the token, so sales of these coins do not immediately become profits. But if the money raised from the sales had been placed into short-term US debt, World Liberty Financial would have made around $40mn in interest and fees from the assets it holds to back its USD1 stablecoin so far.

Moreover, the investigation notes that Trump declared a personal income of $57.3 million from World Liberty Financial in his latest financial report, which covers the 2024 calendar year.

When asked about the accuracy of FT’s calculations, Eric Trump affirmed that the actual figure was “probably more.” He previously explained that his family embraced crypto after several banks cut them off following the January 6, 2021, riot at the US Capitol.

“At that time, I realized how fragile the financial system was and how easily it could be weaponized against you,” he stated in August, claiming that the decisions were likely political, leading him and his family to turn to the industry.

US President Faces Conflict Of Interests Claims

As the report noted, the questions about potential conflicts of interest mount, with many highlighting that, unlike most of his predecessors, President Trump has not put his crypto ventures in a trust managed by an independent party. Instead, most of his businesses are owned by a revocable trust, of which he is the sole beneficiary, and managed by his son Donald Trump Jr.

In June, Democratic lawmakers proposed a bill to prevent crypto-related conflicts of interest. As reported by Bitcoinist, Senator Adam Schiff introduced the Curbing Officials’ Income and Nondisclosure (COIN) Act to ban the president, vice president, and their immediate family from getting into any crypto business while in office.

Similarly, a trio of Senate Democrats pressed the new head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) in July about the US President’s crypto ventures and a potential conflict of interest related to the Trump family’s stablecoin, USD1.

Richard Painter, former chief White House ethics lawyer to President George W. Bush, told FT that he believes President Trump should divest from all financial interests that potentially pose a conflict with his official responsibilities.

“Every other president since the Civil War has avoided any significant financial conflicts of interest with their official duties,” Painter added. Nonetheless, the White House has argued that in his first term, Trump was the only president to lose money in office and “His sole motivation to leave behind his life of luxury to run for office was to save our country and people.”

Quick Facts: 1️⃣ A big week for Solana as a16z pours $50M into staking firm Jito and DeFi Development Corp scoops up 86K SOL worth $9.5M. 2️⃣ Collectively, Solana treasury firms now hold about 13.5M SOL valued at roughly $2.3B, marking a 466% rise year-to-date. 3️⃣Snorter Token is gearing up to launch its trading bot on Solana after its presale close in three days. 4️⃣ The bot is positioned to benefit from the growing institutional confidence on the network.

Institutions are scooping up Solana like there’s no tomorrow.

This week alone, DeFi Development Corp just purchased an additional 86K $SOL worth roughly $9.5M. Meanwhile, Andreessen Horowitz’s a16z just invested $50M into Jito Foundation, a Solana staking protocol.

It’s awesome news for projects building on Solana, like Snorter Token ($SNORT), which is getting set to launch its trading bot on Solana – after its presale closes in just three days.

Solana Treasures Hold $2.3B Worth of $SOL

Collectively, the nine Solana treasury firms hold around 13.5M $SOL, valued at roughly $2.3B – a head-turning 466% increase year-to-date.

Among them, Forward Industries has acquired the largest amount of $SOL at 6.82M, valued at roughly $1.2B today.

DeFi Development Corp follows with 2.19M $SOL ($389M), and Upexi with 2M $SOL ($357.5M).

A16z is also backing Solana, but differently by leading the funding round for Jito Foundation.

Jito powers a $3.2B liquid staking token and operates a validator client built to optimize Solana’s high-speed performance.

In turn, the new capital will help expand its developer tools, scale its infrastructure, and grow adoption of the Block Assembly Marketplace (a system designed to boost Solana’s efficiency and programmability).

Such backing, whether through direct accumulation or company investments, reinforces Solana’s position as a trusted, maturing blockchain.

They help strengthen the entire Solana ecosystem, benefiting projects built on the network, like $SNORT’s Telegram trading bot, Snorter Bot.

Snorter Token Set to Boost Crypto Trading on Solana

$SNORT is a pioneering crypto project that’s getting set to launch Snorter Bot to facilitate fast and secure crypto trading.

Once launched this quarter, you’ll be able to buy, sell, and snipe tokens straight away, all directly with the world’s fourth-largest messaging app.

Snorter Bot will first launch on Solana to take advantage of the network’s breakneck speeds (a max 65K transactions per second) and 12.8s finality.

When buying $SNORT, it also promises to offer you fees as low as 0.85% on the network, making it a highly cost-efficient tool in the space.

After its initial Solana debut, it’ll branch out to support EVM-compatible chains, like Ethereum and Polygon. In doing so, you’ll be able to expand your portfolio beyond the best Solana meme coins and hopefully boost your returns.

The bot offers many features to help you increase your profits, including fast, secure swaps, automated sniping, limit orders, and a copy trading tool.

Security is also high on its list of priorities. It’ll include built-in protections against rugpulls and honeypots to ensure a safe trading experience, while being MEV-protected.

Stake $SNORT & Earn Up to 107% APY Rewards

$SNORT opens access to a range of exclusive perks across the Snorter ecosystem, not just low gas fees.

Holders face no daily sniping limits, gain access to advanced bot analytics, and can earn up to 107% APY through staking rewards.

Given such advantages, it’s no surprise that $SNORT has raised over $4.8M on presale, despite being able to buy the coin for as little as $0.1081.

Our Snorter Token price prediction anticipates $SNORT reaching $0.94 this year’s post-exchange listings, representing a 770% ROI from current levels.

It won’t be long until $SNORT will be found on some of the best crypto exchanges, as it’s the next step after its presale comes to a close in just three days.

Buy $SNORT on presale before it’s too late.

Stablecoins Are Now Big Finance, Says Visa as One of the Best Presales, $BEST, Shines

October 17, 2025 • 11:08 UTC

It turns out stablecoins aren’t just for the crypto-minded anymore; they’re becoming a massive part of the global financial system. According to a new report from Visa, stablecoins have powered over $670B in on-chain loans in the last five years alone.

The huge lending market is growing thanks in part to new clarity from the U.S. government with legislation like the GENIUS Act, which is making banks and major firms more confident about jumping into blockchain-based lending.

This digital money is also revolutionizing payments. KPMG points out that stablecoins can cut the time it takes for cross-border payments to just seconds, and slice transaction fees by as much as 99%.

With big players like JPMorgan already moving $2B daily on its private blockchain, the digital dollar is making its mainstream move.

Seeing as stablecoins are making the game easier, your crypto wallet should keep up. Best Wallet and its native Best Wallet Token ($BEST) do exactly that. $BEST offers perks like discounts and exclusive early access to new token launches.

Bitcoin Fear Index Plunges to Yearly Low — Bitwise Sees Opportunity as $HYPER Emerges Among the Best Presales

October 17, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

On October 10th, a violent market crash sent $BTC tumbling to $103,133, only for the coin to rebound to $116,044 by October 13th before cooling off at $108,138 at the time of writing.

The Bitcoin Fear Index dropped to 22 from last week’s 71, its lowest in a year, reflecting the widespread risk aversion among investors.

However, Bitwise interprets this as a contrarian signal, arguing that it’s the ideal phase for accumulation. The historical pattern from April this year supports Bitwise’s theory, as $BTC dipped below $74K only to rally above $100K the following month.

On the other hand, Glassnode data suggest that small holders are accumulating Bitcoin, a sign of rising retail confidence.

Amid high market volatility, promising presale opportunities like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) are gaining strong traction from savvy investors. Bitcoin Hyper is a scalability solution that aims to deliver Solana-level speed, ultra-low fees, near-instant finality, and support for dApps, DeFi, and NFTs.

$1.8B in Bitcoin Profits Hit the Market — Is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) Poised to Shine Among the Best Presales?

October 17, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

$BTC is exhibiting signs of exhaustion, dipping below its key psychological zone of $110K-$112K and is now trading at $108,572, signalling low investor confidence.

On October 15, traders locked in $1.8B in profits during which long-term holders took advantage of 6X gains and small-time holders sidelined with smaller returns. The same day saw $319M in realized losses, suggesting market instability and a sentiment shift among profit-takers and loss-sellers.

Analysts cite this pattern as healthy derisking – one that resets the market’s overbought conditions before its next leg up.

Checkonchain Data shows Bitcoin stuck between its 128 and 200 DMAs, signalling fading momentum and a potential directional shift ahead.

As $BTC consolidates near $110K, savvy traders are rotating capital into emerging presales like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). A recent whale purchase $28,230 just last week shows that the project’s momentum is heating up.

Take a look at our expert $HYPER price prediction path.

Anchorage Digital Bank announced the introduction of global USD wire transfers, positioning itself as a leader among crypto-native institutions in the sector. As the only federally chartered crypto bank in the United States, Anchorage now offers a federally regulated platform that allows clients to manage both cash and crypto.

Anchorage Digital Unveils Dual Currency Feature

With this new feature, clients can hold, send, and receive both USD and cryptocurrency, eliminating the operational complexities that have traditionally plagued the management of these asset classes. Nathan McCauley, CEO of Anchorage Digital, articulated the bank’s vision: 

We’re eliminating the operational complexity of managing both cash and crypto. Our clients can now consolidate assets with a single, federally regulated banking partner and move funds efficiently across both. We believe the future of finance will be built on crypto rails, and we’re giving institutions the flexibility to operate this way.

Anchorage Digital now enables clients to consolidate their holdings, convert between USD and cryptocurrencies through its trading desk, and earn rewards on eligible stablecoins, ensuring that cash does not remain idle.

The new service also opens up reliable USD banking options for crypto startups and innovators. Furthermore, international institutions will benefit from simplified USD flows into the US, reducing currency risk and operational overhead by partnering with a single regulated entity. 

Users can manage all their assets and execute transfers through various channels, including an institutional web dashboard, an iOS app, or programmatically via a comprehensive API, all supported by Anchorage Digital’s security measures. 

Crypto Banking Trend

Additionally, clients can convert USD into one of hundreds of supported digital assets via the trading desk, and mint stablecoins with USD to collect rewards on select options such as PayPal’s PYUSD and Paxos’ USDG. As part of its roadmap, the bank further disclosed: 

Anchorage Digital Bank will continue to expand its USD offerings, including interest-bearing USD accounts in the coming months. Our goal is to eliminate the friction between crypto and fiat, giving institutions a single platform to hold and move capital with confidence. 

Notably, Anchorage Digital’s approach mirrors a growing trend among leading crypto firms. Sony Bank, for instance, recently submitted an application to US regulators for a national banking charter through its subsidiary, Connectia Trust, joining a select group of firms—including Stripe, Coinbase, Paxos, and Circle—all vying for federal crypto banking licenses. 

However, a new crypto bank named Erebor has emerged, backed by a group of tech billionaires, including Peter Thiel. Having received partial regulatory approval to launch, Erebor is set to join the ranks of Anchorage.

1️⃣ BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF IBIT surpassed $100B less than two years after its release on January 11, 2024. 2️⃣ Larry Fink announced a long-term plan to tokenize all assets, from funds to stocks and cash. 3️⃣ Fink argues that bubbles don’t impact long-term investors and that time in the market outweighs opportunistic buy-ins. 4️⃣ Bitcoin’s Layer 2 project, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) reaches $23.9M in presale and eyes a Q1 2026 release.

BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) just surpassed $100B in assets under management (AUM), which prompted CEO Larry Fink to announce the company’s tokenization plans.

Fink made the comments during a CNBC interview, where he said:

I do believe we’re just at the beginning of tokenization of all assets, from real estate to equities to bonds, across the board.

—Larry Fink, CNBC Interview

This comes over a year and a half after BlackRock launched its first tokenized fund, BUIDL, on the Ethereum network by partnering with Securitize.

In the official press release, Securitize’s co-founder and CEO, Carlos Domingo, said that BUIDL proves that tokenization is essentially unstoppable and that it will transform the capital market.

With over $1T in AUM, BlackRock’s decision to invest in tokenization tech stems from Bitcoin’s and Ethereum’s success, especially amid 2025’s rampant adoption wave.

This spells good news for Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER) $23.9M presale which feeds Bitcoin’s coming Layer 2 with a projected Q1 2026 public launch.

How BlackRock Could Transform the Capital Market

Fink believes that asset tokenization is imminent and the key step to attracting digital investors into the TradFi market, which pack more unpopular products like retirement funds.

The overarching goal is to allow investors to hold multiple assets together, including funds, cash, and cryptos, which would represent a turning point for the capital market as a whole.

To that end, Fink pushes for ‘time in the market,’ as opposed to opportunistic buy-ins, as an anti-bubble strategy. As he sees it, it’s only opportunistic buyers who push the notion of financial bubbles due to their short time in the market.

This doesn’t happen with long-term investors who ride the bubbles to follow the larger trend.

If you put money to work on January 1st, 2000, a year later you had the Dot Com crysis, six years later you had the financial crisis, you had the COVID crysis; you still would’ve made 8% compound interest over the entire 25 years.

It’s not about if our markets are going up or down […] it’s about being in the market for the entire cycle.

—Larry Fink, CNBC interview

The same mindset applies to the digital market and Bitcoin is the living proof of that. While opportunistic snipers often find themselves in hot waters – last Friday’s market crash anyone? – long-term investors who bought $BTC in 2011 are now up 169,000,000%.

Bitcoin’s recent performance only adds to that. $BTC now trades at just under $106K after a 13.7% drop over the last week, which is painful for leverage traders, but neutral for long-term investors, because Bitcoin will eventually bounce back.

Especially with Bitcoin Hyper just around the corner.

How Bitcoin Hyper Promises to Change the Bitcoin Ecosystem

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) aims to address Bitcoin’s most pressing problem: its performance limitation.

With a hard cap of seven transactions per second (TPS), Bitcoin currently ranks 22nd on the list of the fastest blockchains by TPS. This translates to slow confirmation times, high fees, and lack of scalability.

Hyper relies on tools like the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and the Canonical Bridge to change that.

While SVM increases the network’s performance, unlocking the ultra-fast execution of DeFi apps and smart contracts, the Canonical Bridge addresses Bitcoin’s long confirmation times directly.

Once the Bitcoin Relay Program confirms incoming transactions in milliseconds, the Bridge then mints the bitcoins on the Hyper layer, allowing you to use the wrapped assets with near-instant finality within the Layer 2 ecosystem.

Long-term, Hyper aims to turn Bitcoin into a more feasible option for institutional investors by making the network faster, cheaper, and more scalable.

The project is seeing outstanding investor support, managing to reach $23.9M since its beginning and it’s still growing fast.

$HYPER is available right now at the presale price of $0.013125, which could be the lowest you could ever buy the token at.

Based on the project’s utility, release window, and current investor support, our price prediction for $HYPER is $0.32 in 2025, with a Q4 release. Long-term, the token could push as high as $1.5 or higher by 2030, for a projected ROI of 11,328% if you invest today.

Long-term investments, remember?

On Thursday, Ripple, the company behind the XRP cryptocurrency, announced a significant step forward in its growth strategy with the $1 billion acquisition of GTreasury, a leading player in treasury management systems. 

Ripple’s GTreasury Deal 

The acquisition of GTreasury marks a pivotal expansion for Ripple, granting it immediate access to the multi-trillion dollar corporate treasury market and a valuable portfolio of some of the most successful corporations globally. 

With over four decades of expertise in supporting treasury operations for renowned brands including Accenture, Cognizant, Boston Scientific, and Bank Australia, GTreasury is expected to enhance Ripple’s capabilities in the financial sector.

Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple’s chief executive officer, emphasized the challenges faced by traditional payment systems, stating: 

For too long, money has been stuck in slow, outdated payment systems and infrastructure, causing unnecessary delays, high costs, and roadblocks to entering new markets—problems that blockchain technologies are ideally suited to solve.

By combining the strengths of Ripple and GTreasury, Garlinghouse believes that treasury and finance teams can finally unlock trapped capital, facilitate instant payments, and explore new growth opportunities.

Third Major Acquisition In 2025

While the financial landscape increasingly shifts towards digital assets with crypto-focused treasuries investing in assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and also XRP, there is a pressing need for Fortune 500 CFOs and treasurers to effectively manage stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and other digital assets at scale. 

According to the announcement, the integration of GTreasury’s digital asset infrastructure with Ripple’s solutions will empower customers to move, manage, and optimize liquidity in real-time, expected to effectively address these challenges.

Ripple and GTreasury aim to provide solutions that allow corporations to unlock idle capital, tapping into the multi-trillion-dollar global repo market through partnerships like that with prime broker Hidden Road, enabling organizations to earn more on short-term assets. 

This acquisition is Ripple’s third major deal in 2025, following the procurement of prime broker Hidden Road and stablecoin platform Rail. Monica Long, President of Ripple, expressed her enthusiasm for this latest acquisition, stating: 

I’m excited for Ripple and GTreasury to help corporates move money around the world faster, cheaper, 24/7, and actively manage and grow their money through safe, more efficient solutions. It’s the Ripple platform put to work at the global corporate scale. The opportunity to unlock trillions of dollars in trapped capital for corporates is huge and ambitious—and did I say exciting? Here we go.

Despite this new development, the XRP price still reels with major losses of up to 20% over the past fourteen days, leading to a current trading price of $2.37, 34% below all-time high levels.

Основатель инвестиционной компании Capriole Invest Чарльз Эдвардс (Charles Edwards) заявил, что в течение ближайших нескольких лет квантовые компьютеры смогут забрать от 20 до 30% всех существующих биткоинов.

Quick Facts:

1️⃣ Solana is targeting a short-term rebound toward $260 after holding strong support around the $175-$190 zone.

2️⃣ According to Grok, Solana could mirror a BNB-style rally and surge past $500 once it breaks above $250.

3️⃣ Snorter Token ($SNORT) is quickly gaining traction as the best SOL-based crypto and could be the next crypto to explode.

Of course, Solana’s recent downturn – it’s down nearly 20% since Friday’s liquidation event – is upsetting for investors who were hoping for a full-fledged crypto boom in Q4 of 2025.

As is always the case whenever a major crypto like $SOL starts losing ground, investors rush to look for the next important support level that could not just hold the token but also trigger a potential rebound.

The good news is that in Solana’s case, there’s no dearth of such support levels. In fact, we’re seeing one such strong level at play right now.

When we asked Grok about Solana’s future prospects, the AI was quick to point out that the token’s current level, around $175 to $190, has been an important zone for $SOL – both as support and resistance – ever since March 2024.

Plus, it’s not just about historical data; this zone is already showing signs of being the strong foundation behind Solana’s next potential rally.

Ever since $SOL came in contact with this zone on Friday, it immediately bounced over 24% in less than four days.

Even better, this latest bounce also coincides with a strong upward-sloping trendline – the same one that triggered an eye-popping 60% surge in June-July this year.

So, the confluence of both these strong support levels could propel Solana to reclaim its high of around $260.

Even experts like Ali Martinez (@ali_charts), who has over 160K followers on X, believe the same. He said, ‘Solana $SOL could be looking to retest $260!’

Grok’s Long-Term Solana Price Prediction Predicts $500 Target

Grok further suggested that once Solana climbs to and breaks through the $250 resistance level and flips it into support, it could ignite a BNB-like rally.

Solana, too, is in a long-drawn consolidation zone – ranging from $110 to $250. In fact, this consolidation has been in place ever since March 2024.

So once Solana breaks through it, we could see an upward spike roughly equal in distance to the width of this consolidation zone. That gives us a potential target of over $500 for Solana.

Sure, this is a long-term price prediction, but it’s important to keep in mind that Solana doesn’t just enjoy technical bullishness; it’s also fundamentally stronger than ever.

For instance, just recently, Tether expanded its stablecoin offerings on Solana by bridging USDt (USDT0) and Tether Gold (XAUt) onto the Solana blockchain.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan even went on to say that ‘Solana is the new Wall Street.’

Hougan explained how Solana’s ability to provide institutional-grade use cases like treasury management, collateralized lending, and remittances – in addition to, of course, dApps and payments – sets it up for groundbreaking success.

All in all, Solana itself is easily one of the best cryptos to buy right now if you want to position yourself for crypto’s long-term growth.

That said, from a pure ROI perspective, you’ll be better off also looking into the best Solana meme coins, as they can help you squeeze out the maximum returns from Solana’s upcoming upward spiral.

Enter Snorter Token ($SNORT). With a game-changing mission to bring justice to the Solana meme coin trading space, $SNORT stands out as the top contender for the next crypto to explode.
