Strategy has kept up its aggressive Bitcoin buying. According to company executive Michael Saylor, the firm snapped up a fresh 13,390 BTC for about $1.34 billion, paying an average of $99,856 per coin. That pushes the company’s total to 568,840 BTC. It’s a huge pile—about 2.7% of Bitcoin’s 21 million‐coin cap.

Major Bitcoin Buy At Nearly 100K

Based on reports, Strategy’s latest purchase sits just under the $100,000 mark per bitcoin. They spent $1.34 billion this time. That’s not the first big buy in 2025. On May 5 they paid $95,167 for 1,895 BTC, and on April 28 they picked up 15,355 BTC at $92,737 each. It shows they’re buying at different price levels. Yet each buy is close enough to $100K to grab headlines.

Average Cost On The Rise

Strategy’s average price per coin has climbed from $68,550 to $69,287. That shift matters. A higher cost basis means they need even bigger price moves just to break even. Peter Schiff, a well‐known gold advocate, warned that their next purchase might nudge that average above $70,000. He argues that if Bitcoin falls below their weighted cost, small paper losses turn into real losses once they sell.

Strategy has acquired 13,390 BTC for ~$1.34 billion at ~$99,856 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 15.5% YTD 2025. As of 5/11/2025, we hodl 568,840 $BTC acquired for ~$39.41 billion at ~$69,287 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRK $STRF https://t.co/oSXRMwiTkU

Quick Returns On Recent Buys

The company highlights a 15.5% Bitcoin yield for the year so far. That “yield” is really just the gain between today’s spot price and their cost basis. For example, the May 5 buy has already earned about $16.8 million in just six days—a 9.32% gain. And the April 28 purchase shows a profit of around $177.1 million, or 12.47%. Even the smaller April 14 lot of 3,459 BTC at $82,618 has made $74 million, or 25.88%.

Debt Risks And Market Weight

It’s worth noting that Strategy didn’t pay cash outright. They used a mix of debt and equity. That amps up the stakes if Bitcoin dips. Around $39.41 billion has been spent so far at an average of $69,287 a coin. At today’s price—hovering near $104,000—the holding is worth about $59.2 billion, or roughly $19.8 billion in unrealized gains. But if prices retreat, those gains could shrink fast.

Strategy’s relentless buying also takes coins off the open market. With each large purchase, fewer coins are left on exchanges. Some analysts say that can tighten supply and support prices. Others argue the real test will come when markets turn. If demand cools and holders start selling, even big players like Strategy will feel the heat.

A CryptoQuant author has discussed how the Bitcoin short-term holder SOPR may provide hints about when it may be time to exit.

Bitcoin Short-Term Holder SOPR Is Currently Not In Distribution Zone

In a CryptoQuant Quicktake post, an analyst has talked about when to distribute and accumulate Bitcoin based on the behavior of the short-term holders. The short-term holders (STHs) refer to the BTC investors who purchased their coins within the past 155 days.

These holders make up for one of the two main sides of the BTC market, with the other cohort being known as the long-term holders (LTHs). The STHs, unlike the HODLers, tend to be reactive to market events, so their metrics easily register changes.

The indicator related to the STHs that the quant has shared is the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR). This metric basically tells us about whether the investors are selling their coins at a profit or loss.

The SOPR determines this by looking at the transaction history of each wallet taking part in a sell transaction to see what price it received its coins at. Transfers where this previous price is lower than the spot price are put in the profit sales, while those of the opposite type in the loss ones.

When the value of the indicator is greater than 1, it means the holders as a whole are realizing a net amount of profit. On the other hand, it being under the mark suggests the dominance of loss-taking.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin SOPR specifically for the STHs over the last few years:

As is visible in the above graph, the analyst has highlighted two zones for the indicator. The lower zone, shaded in green, corresponds to a notable degree of loss taking from the STHs. According to the quant, it’s usually a good time to start accumulating Bitcoin whenever the STHs are displaying this behavior.

Similarly, the red zone, which corresponds to profit-taking from this cohort, could represent a distribution opportunity for the cryptocurrency. From the chart, it’s apparent that neither of these zones perfectly captures tops and bottoms in BTC’s price, so the analyst calls for only gradual selling and buying when the indicator enters the respective regions.

During the lows earlier in the year, the STH SOPR dipped into the green zone, implying this group was showing capitulation. With the recent price rally, the metric has recovered back above the 1 mark, but so far, it hasn’t yet broken into the red area.

As such, at least going by this indicator, the time to start distributing Bitcoin may not be here yet.

BTC Price

Bitcoin has made recovery of more than 10% in the past week as its price has now crossed the $104,000 mark.

Bhutan’s government is pushing hard to open its doors to investors and new industries. It wants more than just its famous Gross National Happiness score. It plans to use its clean energy and special economic zones to bring jobs home. But many challenges lie ahead.

Bhutan Faces Brain Drain

According to recent figures, about 13,500 Bhutanese—1.6% of the country’s less than 800,000 people—moved to Australia in 2023. That kind of outflow shows young talent is chasing bigger markets. It leaves Bhutan short on skilled workers at a time when it needs fresh ideas and start‐up energy. Geography doesn’t help. Being landlocked between India and China means transporting goods and building infrastructure costs more and takes longer.

Hydropower Drives New Plans

Bhutan’s main export is electricity from rivers. It has 2.5 gigawatts of hydropower now and another 3 GW under construction. Cheap and clean, this power could fuel factories, server farms or green-tech trials. Based on reports from Druk Holdings and Investments (DHI), the country’s sovereign wealth fund, these sites could let firms test pump-storage systems or hydrogen production in real conditions. Quick pilots in Bhutan might then be rolled out regionally.

Bitcoin Mining Growth

Based on a report by Fortune, Bitcoin mining is one of the more unusual bets. Bhutan started mining crypto in 2019 when a Bitcoin cost just under $10,000. As of May 7, 2025, each coin is worth about $97,400. According to DHI, relying on hydropower makes this mining low-carbon, and profits boost the fund’s $3 billion portfolio. But crypto prices swing hard. One big drop could wipe out gains. Still, DHI calls Bitcoin “digital gold” and says it’s part of a mixed approach.

Gelephu Mindfulness City

Based on planning documents, Gelephu Mindfulness City will cover about 2,500 square kilometers near the Indian border. This special zone aims to link Bhutan with South and Southeast Asia, offering space for health clinics, tech startups and green-energy firms. It’s billed as a place where work and well-being meet. Roads, digital lines and homes all need to be built from scratch. That will take cash and many years before hotels or offices fill up.

Bhutan’s GNH index rose from 0.743 in 2010 to 0.781 in 2022. Over the same span, GDP per person grew from $2,435 to $3,711, though it dipped sharply in 2020 during the pandemic. Tourism is still recovering: 145,000 visitors came last year, down from 315,599 in 2019 under the “high-value, low-impact” model that caps arrivals to protect mountain roads and forests.

DHI looks to Singapore’s Temasek as a governance example. Temasek manages about $300 billion and owns stakes in big names like Singapore Airlines. By contrast, DHI holds shares in 24 Bhutanese firms, including Bhutan Telecom and Bank of Bhutan. Executives say size is not the key. What matters is moving fast, staying lean and turning green energy into growth.

Bhutan’s plan is bold. It blends traditional values with a shot at tech and finance. If young people see real jobs at home, some may stay. If pilot projects succeed, small-scale could grow big. But any misstep in hydropower, crypto or city building risks stretching Bhutan’s limited resources. For now, investors and citizens alike will be watching closely.

Crypto investment products continued to attract capital for the fourth consecutive week, according to the latest weekly report from CoinShares, a European-based asset manager focused on digital assets.

The data revealed that inflows totaled $882 million globally last week, bringing year-to-date figures to $6.7 billion—just shy of the previous peak of $7.3 billion recorded in early February 2025.

Bitcoin Leads Inflows; Sui Overtakes Solana

Bitcoin remains the dominant choice for investors, attracting $867 million in inflows last week alone. US-listed Bitcoin ETFs crossed a new milestone with cumulative net inflows of $62.9 billion since their debut in January 2024.

This surpasses the previous high of $61.6 billion from earlier this year, reinforcing the role of institutional vehicles in driving Bitcoin demand.

In contrast, Ethereum’s performance was relatively subdued despite recent price appreciation. ETH products recorded only $1.5 million in inflows for the week, a marginal figure compared to Bitcoin.

Meanwhile, alternative layer-1 protocol Sui saw an influx of $11.7 million, pushing its year-to-date total to $84 million, eclipsing Solana’s $76 million. Notably, Solana saw $3.4 million in outflows over the same period, suggesting a rotation of capital into newer blockchain networks.

The ongoing rise in capital allocations comes amid a backdrop of rising macroeconomic uncertainty. CoinShares’ Head of Research, James Butterfill, attributes the surge in digital asset inflows to several converging factors.

These include a global increase in M2 money supply, concerns over stagflation in the United States, and recent policy moves by US states recognizing Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset. The combination of these developments appears to be reinforcing institutional interest in crypto exposure.

Regional Breakdown and Broader Trends

Regionally, the United States led all markets with $840 million in inflows, followed by Germany with $44.5 million and Australia with $10.2 million. Canada and Hong Kong, by contrast, posted modest outflows of $8 million and $4.3 million, respectively.

The geographical divergence may reflect varying levels of investor sentiment, regulatory clarity, and institutional product availability across jurisdictions.

The CoinShares report also hinted at the rising role of macroeconomic drivers in crypto investment strategies. The report noted that institutional investors are increasingly treating digital assets as a hedge against fiat depreciation and economic volatility.

This view is being reinforced by developments like state-level legislation in the US acknowledging Bitcoin as a reserve asset and the broader uptick in fiat liquidity.

While Bitcoin continues to dominate flows, the performance of newer assets such as Sui highlights growing interest in blockchain infrastructure alternatives. If this trend persists, fund managers may increasingly diversify beyond the traditional top two digital assets in their product offerings and investor outreach strategies.

After several weeks of consolidation, Dogecoin has again started to climb, with its price almost doubling in a 30-day timeframe. This sudden rally comes behind a wider inflow into the crypto market, with many bullish indicators now surfacing on Dogecoin’s price chart.

For a coin that has mostly hovered between $0.15 and $0.20 in April, the idea of hitting the $1 mark by early June sounds very extreme. Yet one analyst believes this scenario is possible and likely and has backed it up with previous Dogecoin price action.

Master Kenobi Compares 2025 to 2017 Cycle With Accelerated Timeline

In a post shared on the social media platform X, crypto analyst Master Kenobi outlined his bold prediction by drawing a parallel between Dogecoin’s current price structure in 2025 and its price performance during the 2017 cycle. His analysis focuses on Dogecoin’s second major leg-up in 2017, which began after a 70-day consolidation period followed by a massive 850% rally over 45 days. 

According to the chart shared, the current price structure is following the same pattern but at twice the speed. The initial 70-day phase is now compressed into 35 days, and the expected bullish breakout phase will last just 22 days.

The side-by-side chart comparison featured in the analysis illustrates this comparison vividly. On the right side of the chart, the 2017 pattern shows a 220% gain in 70 days, followed by the massive 850% breakout that peaked at a new all-time high at the time. 

The current price action strongly resembles this movement at a faster pace. On the left side of the chart, 2025’s structure shows a clean breakout from the lower channel, leading to a 90% increase in just 35 days. From this interpretation, the analyst projects a 350% rally that follows the same path as the 2017 rally. In terms of a price target, this rally is expected to take Dogecoin from its current levels toward a $1.05 price point by early June.

Analyst’s $1.05 Projection Ahead Of June Window Depends On Altcoin Rally

Based on Master Kenobi’s prediction, Dogecoin investors can expect to see the meme coin trading at new all-time high levels within the next 22 days. To reach $1.05 during this span, Dogecoin will need to maintain and intensify its current bullish momentum, even more than the momentum witnessed in the 2017 and 2021 bull runs. 

Kenobi’s projection is bullish but not unrealistic, considering previous parabolic moves. However, even if Dogecoin can continue building strength above the $0.22 to $0.24 zone and trigger a wave of FOMO among retail traders, there is still much work to be done to reach the $1 mark.

Interestingly, this prediction does not stand in isolation from Dogecoin. According to the analyst, many altcoins are poised for an upward move toward late May and early June. Dogecoin, being one of the most popular altcoins, may lead this rally.

At the time of writing, Dogecoin is trading at $0.244, up by another 6% in the past 24 hours.

Bitcoin is once again commanding the spotlight as it trades above critical levels and prepares to challenge its all-time highs. After months of aggressive selling pressure and pessimistic sentiment, the leading cryptocurrency has staged a powerful comeback. Now hovering around the $105,000 mark, Bitcoin is showing remarkable strength, with bulls eyeing a breakout into uncharted territory.

Momentum has been building ever since Bitcoin reclaimed the $90K level, pushing swiftly through the $94K–$100K resistance zone. According to top analyst Jelle, Bitcoin is preparing to continue going above resistance levels, highlighting the force of recent buying pressure and the rapid shift in market tone. This rally has not only surprised skeptics but also reignited optimism across the crypto market.

However, the $105K zone remains a crucial test. Historically, such levels attract both profit-taking and renewed interest from sidelined capital. If bulls can maintain momentum and push past this resistance, a new price discovery phase may begin. With long-term holders showing renewed confidence and broader investor sentiment recovering, the next few days could prove pivotal for Bitcoin’s trajectory. A clean break above the current range would likely confirm a fresh macro uptrend and reset expectations for the rest of 2025.

Bitcoin Eyes Price Discovery As Trade Optimism Fuels Bullish Momentum

Bitcoin is trading at a crucial inflection point, hovering above $104,000 as optimism builds around a potential trade deal between the United States and China. With geopolitical tensions showing signs of easing, markets are responding positively, and Bitcoin appears to be benefiting from the renewed risk-on appetite. The surge in price follows a sequence of key breakouts, most notably above the $90K and $100K levels, which bulls reclaimed with conviction over the past two weeks.

The current rally has brought Bitcoin to its second-highest weekly close in history, signaling a shift in macro sentiment. The aggressive buying pressure seen recently has flipped previously critical resistance levels into potential support zones. Bitcoin is now preparing to test uncharted territory, with only one major obstacle left—its all-time high around the $109K mark.

Jelle shared a bullish outlook, noting that “Bitcoin ate through $90K–$94K like it wasn’t even there.” He added that the January 20 high is unlikely to hold for long as Bitcoin enters what could be a new phase of price discovery. The combination of technical strength, improving macro conditions, and growing investor confidence creates a solid foundation for further upside.

However, the coming days will be pivotal. If bulls can push decisively above the $105K mark, the likelihood of a breakout toward new highs increases significantly. But if resistance holds, a temporary consolidation could follow. Either way, Bitcoin is on the brink of defining the next chapter in its market cycle—one that could see it reach never-before-seen levels and spark broader momentum across the crypto landscape.

BTC Consolidates Above $104K As Bulls Hold Momentum

The daily chart shows Bitcoin trading firmly above the $104,000 level after a breakout that cleared months of resistance. Following a strong upward move from late April, BTC pushed through key psychological barriers at $90K and $100K, with buyers maintaining control as price action prints higher highs and higher lows. The current structure is forming a textbook bullish continuation, consolidating just below the $105K mark.

The 200-day simple moving average (SMA) and exponential moving average (EMA) continue trending upward, now well below the current price, confirming long-term strength and momentum. Volume has also picked up in recent sessions, supporting the breakout with strong participation from bulls.

Looking ahead, the $105,700 level—tested as the current local high—remains the next hurdle. A clean daily close above this could set the stage for an aggressive move into price discovery territory, potentially targeting the all-time high at $109K. On the downside, immediate support lies at $103,600 and $100K, both recently reclaimed levels that could serve as strong bases if a pullback occurs.

Governments worldwide are clamping down on stablecoins. That might push some users to turn to so-called “dark” or private stablecoins. They offer uncensorable transfers, but they come with high risks and uncertain practical application.

Tighter Rules Might Spook Users Away

Stablecoins from a country could soon have the same regulations as banks, says CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. Transfers could even automatically initiate tax collection via smart contracts.

Wallets may even be frozen or need additional paperwork. That’s prompting some traders to seek alternatives. They seek tokens that can’t be traced or halted by governments.

Dark stablecoins are likely to emerge in the future.#Bitcoin was created by the cypherpunk community to be censorship-resistant and belongs to no one, making it impossible to control.

Stablecoins, however, act as a bridge between the internet and the real world, so they need…

Algorithmic Stablecoins Face Risks

One concept is an algorithmic stablecoin that maintains its peg by code instead of holding dollars or gold. It might track the price of a regulated coin such as USDC via oracles from Chainlink.

But history shows these designs can fail. In 2022, the UST peg collapsed in hours. A market shock or an oracle failure might leave holders with tokens worth a few cents. Trust is difficult to regain once it has been lost.

Privacy Coins Already In Circulation

Privacy tech is not new to cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies like Zcash and Monero allow users to conceal transaction values and sender addresses. They have existed for years but are frequently subject to additional verification on exchanges.

Newer initiatives like Zephyr Protocol, a fork of Monero, will obscure stablecoin transactions on the blockchain. PARScoin conceals identities and associations with previous transfers. Their success will hinge on discovering secure methods to exchange tokens for normal currency.

Stablecoin Market Continues To Expand

According to Citigroup reports, the market capitalization of US dollar-denominated stablecoins reached over $230 billion in April. That’s an over 50% increase from last year.

Tether and USDC account for approximately 90% of that amount. Total stablecoin volumes reached nearly $28 trillion in 2024. That is almost 8% more than Visa and Mastercard combined.

Privacy Vs. Compliance

Regulated stablecoins increasingly provide proof-of-reserves dashboards and transparent licensing under regimes such as the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. Those are preferred by most business and institutions. They require a token they can insure, deposit, and audit.

Dark stablecoins might carve out a niche for cross-border transactions where censorship is the primary concern. But broad adoption will be beyond reach without transparent means of legal compliance.

Ultimately, the stablecoin world stands at a crossroads. There will be users who pursue privacy no matter what. And there will be those who opt for coins that play by the rules.

If algorithmic concepts can remain firm, or if privacy tokens will secure a foothold in the mainstream, that remains to be determined. But the tug-of-war between control and uncontrollable money has just begun.

Bitcoin is trading above the $104,000 level after posting its second-highest weekly close in history, reinforcing the strength of the current uptrend. The bullish momentum has been building steadily over the past few weeks, with price surging aggressively after reclaiming both the $90K and $100K psychological levels. This marks a significant shift in sentiment after months of consolidation and market hesitation.

According to data from CryptoQuant, the Fear and Greed Index has started to rise significantly, reflecting growing optimism among Bitcoin investors. While sentiment is clearly leaning bullish, the index still remains well below the euphoric “overload” zone, suggesting there’s more room for upside before reaching overheated conditions.

This combination of strong price action and controlled sentiment could indicate a sustainable rally rather than a speculative blow-off. As Bitcoin holds above key resistance zones, analysts and investors are beginning to focus on the all-time high near $109K as the next major target. The recent move has also energized the broader crypto market, with altcoins gaining strength alongside Bitcoin. As momentum builds, the market appears poised to enter a new phase of expansion, fueled by renewed confidence and capital inflows.

Momentum Builds As Bitcoin Eyes $109K All-Time High

Bitcoin is entering a critical week as bulls set their sights on the $109,000 all-time high. After months of heavy selling pressure and widespread market doubt, the leading cryptocurrency has surged back into the spotlight, trading just below the $105,000 mark. This level now acts as immediate resistance and could become a major pivot in the coming sessions. If bulls manage to push through this barrier, a breakout into uncharted territory would be imminent. However, if selling pressure intensifies around this zone, Bitcoin could face a period of consolidation or retracement before making another attempt.

Market sentiment has notably improved, as highlighted by top analyst Axel Adler. According to Adler’s insights, the current average values of the Fear and Greed Index are climbing steadily, signaling a rise in investor confidence. Importantly, the index remains far from extreme greed territory, which suggests that optimism is building but not yet overheated — a constructive sign for a sustainable rally.

Further fueling the positive outlook are macro developments. Sunday’s negotiations between Washington and Beijing brought a sense of relief to global markets, contributing to the broader upswing. With geopolitical tensions easing and Bitcoin holding its ground near multi-month highs, the setup for another leg higher is taking shape.

BTC Faces A Critical Test Near All-Time Highs

Bitcoin is trading above $104,000, following the second-highest weekly close in its history. After reclaiming the $90K level in late April, the price surged aggressively and now hovers just below the all-time high (ATH) zone. This weekly chart shows clear momentum, with BTC pushing through key resistance zones with high volume and conviction. However, price is now directly testing the same range that marked the top earlier this year—between $104K and $105.7K.

This zone is crucial. If bulls can push above this level and close the weekly candle near or above the current all-time high, it would likely confirm the long-term uptrend. Such a breakout would put BTC in price discovery, potentially triggering momentum-driven buying and institutional inflows. On the other hand, if Bitcoin stalls or retraces from here, it could signal a short-term exhaustion and possibly a correction toward the $100K–$103K support zone.

Volume trends and market sentiment remain favorable, especially with declining exchange balances and rising investor optimism. However, a confirmed weekly breakout above the ATH remains the ultimate confirmation for the next macro leg up. All eyes are now on whether BTC can make history with a new all-time high this week.

XRP analyst Egrag Crypto has alluded to an analysis in which he revealed his ultimate targets and selling strategy for the altcoin. This comes as the altcoin’s price rebounds, looking to break the $3 resistance and reach new highs. 

Analyst Highlights Strategy As XRP Price Rebounds

In an X post, Egrag Crypto highlighted his ‘ultimate targets and selling strategy’ for XRP. For his profit-taking strategy, he stated that he will take 25% of his profit when the price hits his first target. The analyst also plans to take another 25% at his second and third targets, while he will keep 25% as a ‘moon bag.’

As part of his strategy, Egrag Crypto also advised market participants to sell 5% of their holdings every time the XRP price increases by a set amount. He noted that the first goal is to recover initial capital by securing one’s investment and then combining his profit-taking strategy. The analyst advised investors to wait for their target and sell everything when it is reached. 

Furthermore, the analyst told market participants to rotate their profits by reinvesting in low to mid-cap projects for potential exponential growth. He warned that this is high risk, especially if investors don’t fully understand their next moves. For long-term holders, Egrag Crypto remarked that they can just keep buying for the next 10 to 15 years without selling. 

Egrag Crypto predicted that the XRP price will reach between $27 and $33 in this market cycle, after which he plans to hold a moon bag. Until then, the analyst is focused on recovering his initial capital by following percentage-based selling strategies. He will unlock 10% of his total holdings at specific targets and continue this approach until it reaches the $27 to $33 range. 

Analysis Of The Current Price Action

In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender revealed that the XRP price had a clear break on the weekly timeframe after surpassing $2.2222 and touching $2.3620. Following that, the asset corrected to around $2.07. The analyst asserted that the altcoin’s monthly Wave 5 is progressing at full speed. 

He further stated that the weekly Relative Strength Index (RSI) for the XRP price has turned bullish, which the analyst claimed endorses the current structure’s projected rally to between $5.85 and $6.39. Dark Defender added that Wave 5 will be in five Sub-Waves with ups and downs. 

Meanwhile, crypto analyst Ali Martinez also provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting it could reach $15. In an X post, he stated that if the governing pattern behind the altcoin is the symmetrical triangle he highlighted, then the target could be $15. 

At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.38, down over 1% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Bullish momentum continues to rise in the market, and Ethereum seems to have found stability as the second-largest digital asset extends its renewed upward trend, breaking past the $2,500 mark. After several months of bearish performance, ETH has finally entered its next bull phase that would potentially lead to this cycle peak.

Cycle Top In Focus As Ethereum Impulsive Phase Begins

As Ethereum gains significant upward traction, recent developments point to a sustained bullish move toward higher price levels. Crypto analyst and investor Trader Tardigrade predicts a potential continuation of the ongoing uptrend to a cycle peak as the altcoin’s price dynamics make a major shift.

Following his analysis of ETH’s current price action, Trader Tardigrades reveals that the asset has entered a fresh impulsive phase, characterized by strong upward momentum and decisive price performance. ETH’s shift into the impulsive phase hints at the possible beginning of the final leg up in the ongoing bull market cycle.

This renewed move is slowly aligning with historical patterns that previously preceded a robust rally, reflecting the strength of the new impulsive phase. With ETH breaking through crucial resistance levels and the market growing, this favorable environment is likely to improve the sustainability of the recent uptrend toward higher levels.

According to the expert, the altcoin’s price action is performing similarly to the last cycle trend from 2020 to 2021, which led to the current all-time high. Should Ethereum perform as well as the 2020-2021 market cycle, this impulsive rally will lead all the way to a cycle top. 

Trader Tardigrade has placed this cycle peak at the $23,818 level, hitting the 2.618 Fibonacci level. This anticipated substantial growth represents a more than 900% upswing from the current price level.

Prior to his cycle top analysis, Trader Tardigrade already hinted at the potential of a sustained upward performance as he predicted an impending bull run for ETH within the year. His forecast is based on past cycle trends, particularly the 2020 season, where the last bull market phase began.

Looking at the chart, Ethereum’s last bull market phase began in March 2020 as the altcoin broke out from a Triangle formation after a period of consolidation within the pattern. Presently, ETH has made a similar move, breaking out of the same triangle pattern, which triggered the ongoing upward trend. Thus, Trader Tardgirade claims that the 2025 bull run has begun, hinting at a move to a new all-time high as seen in the 2020 cycle.

ETH Breaks Above Crucial Resistance Level

Given ETH’s move past key resistance zones, Ali Martinez, a market expert, has predicted a continued bullish performance for the altcoin. A few days ago, Ali Martinez pointed out the $2,380 level as a crucial resistance area that will spark a bull run for Ethereum once it breaks past it.

Presently, Ethereum has broken above this critical supply barrier. According to the expert, if ETH surpasses this level, it will ignite a new bull rally, which indicates that the ongoing rally might not stop soon.

SBI Holdings has told shareholders that the conglomerate’s long-standing stake in Ripple Labs will remain off its balance sheet until the US fintech either lists its shares or undergoes a comparable third-party appraisal, leaving what management calls “an enormous amount of unrealized profit” unrecognised for now.

The disclosure appears in the group’s fiscal-year 2024 results deck (FY ended 31 March 2025), presented on 9 May. Consolidated revenue reached ¥1.443 trillion ($9.39 billion), up 19.3% year-on-year, while profit before tax almost doubled to ¥282.3 billion ($1.83 billion), driven by outsized contributions from private-equity revaluations and a buoyant crypto-asset arm.

Ripple’s True Value Remains Locked: SBI

Within the private-equity segment, a slide devoted to unlisted holdings spells out the accounting treatment for Ripple: “About the shares of Ripple Lab Inc. in the US held by the SBI Group as unlisted shares, the value of XRP held in escrow by Ripple Lab Inc. will not be included in the corporate value until a clear valuation is determined through an IPO or other means.”

That valuation reserve matters. During the same presentation, executives reminded investors that SBI first backed Ripple more than a decade ago and “now [has] a little less than 10 percent of the equity stake of Ripple.” Citing Ripple’s current escrow and circulating supply, management estimated the notional market capitalization of XRP at “about ¥20 trillion ($130 billion)”, before adding that the balance of tokens under escrow “is still under lock-up.”

In an extended Q&A captured and transcribed by commentator Crypto Eri, SBI’s leadership elaborated on why those gains remain off the books: “The value of XRP held in escrow by Ripple Lab will not be included in the corporate value until a clear valuation is determined through an IPO or other means. If it is included, the profit will surge and will be an extraordinary amount.”

“Ever since Mr. Trump was inaugurated, the US has been putting a lot of emphasis on the crypto asset market, which we are grateful for… If listed, the unrealized profits are going to be unlocked, and I’m sure that it will easily exceed one trillion yen ($6.5 billion).”

The timing of any liquidity event for Ripple has been a perennial question in Tokyo. For years SBI’s chief executive, Yoshitaka Kitao, has said he expects Ripple to go public once its legal overhang with the US Securities and Exchange Commission is resolved.

That overhang receded only last week: on May 8 the SEC announced a settlement agreement that paves the way to conclude its 2020 enforcement action against Ripple and two executives, subject to court approval. Although the deal stops short of providing a formal valuation, it removes a regulatory obstacle that had complicated IPO planning.

SBI’s Crypto-asset Business recorded revenue of ¥80.8 billion ($526 million) and profit before tax of ¥21.2 billion ($138 million), a jump of 151.8% from the prior year, buoyed by market-maker B2C2 and a larger retail customer base at SBI VC Trade. Management framed those results as early evidence of “explosive growth potential” once Ripple’s equity re-rating is realised.

SBI’s total assets under management have already crossed the ¥10 trillion ($65 billion) threshold; the group reiterated a goal of doubling that figure to ¥20 trillion ($130 billion) by the end of FY 2027. A Ripple listing could help finance that expansion while transforming the private-equity portfolio’s risk profile, the presentation suggested.

For now, the conglomerate is content to wait. “There aren’t as many people who understand our operations,” an executive conceded in the shareholder session, adding that even internally “employees do not understand our entire business.” Once Ripple’s valuation ceases to be “hidden in plain sight,” SBI believes, the resulting windfall will speak for itself.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.45.

The crypto market is electric, and global players are all in. Tokyo’s Beat Holdings is pouring funds into Bitcoin ETFs like BlackRock’s $IBIT.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the planet, Michael Saylor is, unsurprisingly, getting ready to buy more Bitcoin.  That’s after he added 15,355 $BTC for $1.42B in April, meaning his Bitcoin stash is now worth $37.9B

Everything’s coming up roses right now for the world’s largest crypto, which is up 10% over the past week and nearing a new all-time high. With traditional finance (TradFi) and equity firms jumping in, is this just the start? What’s the best crypto to buy now, with positive signs and volatility both continuing?

TradFi and Equity Make Their Moves

In an interview, Dan Tapiero of 10T Holdings predicts a crypto boom once Jerome Powell and the US Federal Reserve provide a bit more clarity on US fiscal policy, potentially with 2025 rate cuts.

When they do, he says the resulting move of fiat liquidity into crypto will power $BTC and $ETH to big gains.

What does that mean for the broader market? And for investors, what’s the best crypto to buy to double down on a potential crypto surge? Tapiero clarified, adding:

‘Coinbase won’t be the only big public crypto company in five years… The Trump admin wants the US to be the crypto hub. The next wave will be equity-based.’

So far, the market seems set on proving him right.

Even before the Fed makes any moves to ease monetary policy, corporations around the globe are swarming into crypto.

Bitcoin first, of course. Michael Saylor’s Strategy is amassing more and more bitcoin for its strategic reserve. Strategy’s stockpile has passed 555K Bitcoin, the largest corporate stockpile in the world. Is it driving a hyperbitcoinization trend?

Companies like Tokyo’s Beat and Asia’s Metaplanet are following behind. While the latter pursues a parallel strategy of building a Bitcoin reserve, Beat is focusing on $BTC ETF, primarily through Blackrock’s $IBIT ETF.

Those moves could be just the tip of the iceberg. TradFi and equity companies are increasingly viewing crypto as just another aspect of normal business operations.

Even within the crypto space, companies like Coinbase are following the normal business playbook; mergers and acquisitions of major players like Deribit show just how much money is supporting crypto businesses.

These four crypto projects look poised to capitalize on crypto’s development. And if Bitcoin surges even further, or if the Fed loosens monetary policy, the sky could be the limit, and they may prove to be the best crypto to buy this year.

3. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Three Ways to Earn More From Your Bitcoin

Even meme coins can have utility, and BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) proves it. The project is a brilliant example of how to use tokenomics to drive utility and value. $BTCBULL burns apply deflationary pressure on the token’s price, while airdrops reward project participation.

And because two of those airdrops are Bitcoin airdrops, $BTCBULL and $BTC are joined at the hip.

Both the airdrops and the $BTCBULL token burns occur when Bitcoin reaches key price milestones. Three $BTCBULL token burns will take place over the life of the project, when Bitcoin reaches $125K, $175K, and $225K. Three airdrops come at $150K, $200K, and $250K Bitcoin price points.

The first two airdrops will drop free $BTC to anyone who buys and holds $BTCBULL through the Best Wallet app. The last airdrop will be a massive $BTCBULL drop.

By connecting the two tokens, BTC Bull Token gives you three ways to earn:

• $BTCBULL token presale staking (73% APY)
• $BTCBULL token price increases and final airdrop
• $BTC airdrops

The project has just raised $5.6M. With tokens priced at $0.00251, our analysis shows $BTCBULL could reach $0.006467 by the end of the year.

Check out our guide on how to buy BTC Bull Token, and be sure to visit the presale page.

4. XRP ($XRP) – Ripple’s Flagship Continues a 4X Run

Established cryptos usually don’t have the room for dramatic price increases in the same way that new cryptos or meme coins do. That said, Ripple’s $XRP has been on fire since the end of 2024.

$XRP is up 409% in the past 12 months; most of that came from December 2024 onwards.

$XRP and the XRP Ledger operate as a decentralized public blockchain, ideal for building business solutions and setting cross-currency payments.

Ripple also has a stablecoin – $RLUSD – as part of a growing ecosystem.

That makes $XRP the rare example of a large-cap token ($150B+) with a demonstrated appetite for growth. $XRP is the second-biggest altcoin after Ethereum.

How High Could Bitcoin Go?

Volatility is usually considered a bad thing; uncertainty means that prices can drop as easily as they can surge.

But in this case, volatility might bode well for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, fuelling opportunity. Tapiero again:

‘China just cut rates — their short rate is 1.3%. If the US did that, Bitcoin could hit $300K. All of that supports global liquidity — and supports Bitcoin.’

However, risks remain: Cornell professor Eswar Prasad warns that a US crypto reserve could lock the government into volatile assets, potentially impacting prices if liquidated. Some Bitcoin maximalists, like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, argue the reserve should focus solely on $BTC.

For now, the market is riding high on Trump’s vision to make the US the ‘crypto capital of the world,’ backed by his White House Crypto Summit and strategic reserve. Corporate giants like Strategy, Beat Holdings, and Metaplanet are paving the way, while crypto presales like Best Wallet Token, SUBBD Token, and BTC Bull Token offer diverse ways to capitalize on the surge and could be the best crypto to buy now.

Follow the money. But don’t take our word for anything – do your own research, and choose carefully when it comes to crypto investments.

The PEPE price has revealed a bullish pattern, which indicates that a massive surge could be on the horizon. Based on this pattern, crypto analyst OneImpact has predicted that the meme coin could witness a price surge of almost 70%. 

PEPE Price Confirms Phoenix Rising Pattern 

In a TradingView post, OneImpact stated that the PEPE price has shown a textbook ‘Phoenix Rising’ pattern, which signals an extraordinary upside opportunity currently unfolding. With the meme coin trading at its current price level with significant momentum, the analyst remarked that PEPE appears poised for a massive recovery rally toward historical resistance. 

The analyst also noted that the bottoming pattern for the PEPE price has completed, which supports the bullish outlook for the meme coin. OneImpact said that after a prolonged downtrend from January 2025, PEPE has formed a perfect bottoming pattern with key components. 

One of the key components for the PEPE price is the accumulation channel formation, with the March-April base-building phase where smart money accumulated positions between $0.000005 and $0.000008. The second key component is the Channel Breakout confirmation, with the analyst noting that the recent green candle with expanding volume signals institutional entry.

The third key component is the historical supply zone. OneImpact stated that this is the crucial $0.0000175 to $0.0000185 range, which previously acted as support for the meme coin’s price before the January breakdown. 

A 66% Upside Play On The Horizon For The Meme Coin

Based on these bullish technicals, OneImpact predicted that the PEPE price could surge 66%. The analyst indicated that this surge would come in three distinct phases. The first phase would be the consolidation period. After the initial breakout surge, the analyst believes that the meme coin’s price will likely form a higher low around $0.00001033, creating the ideal risk-reward opportunity. 

The second phase will create a series of higher highs and higher lows as the price climbs through previous resistance levels. OneImpact stated that the meme coin will then witness a final push toward the $0.00001715 take-profit target in the third phase, representing a 66% gain. The analyst explained that a triple confluence of factors makes this setup “particularly compelling.”

The first factor is the volume confirmation. OneImpact noted that the breakout candle shows 5.50% gains on expanding volume, which the analyst claimed is a textbook definition of genuine price movement. The second factor is the historical context. He revealed that the current price structure mirrors almost identically the bottoming pattern seen in early 2024 before the meme coin’s previous major rally. 

The third factor is the macro alignment. The crypto analyst said this move coincides perfectly with the projected decline in Bitcoin’s dominance, which creates the ideal conditions for the meme coin to outperform. 

At the time of writing, the PEPE price is trading at around $0.00001427, up over 9% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Аналитики платформы CryptoQuant сообщили, что, в отличие от прошлых циклов, сейчас восстановление цены эфира могут сдержать три фактора: высокое давление со стороны предложения, слабый спрос и низкая сетевая активность.

As the cryptocurrency market continues to steal the spotlight in the financial sector, Bitcoin has surged significantly, reaching a three-month high of $104,916 on Sunday, May 11. BTC’s renewed bullish movements are reflected in several key metrics as these indicators shifted into positive territory, signaling the continuation of the rally.

Key Metric Flashes Major Rally For Bitcoin

Bitcoin’s price is showing strength as it moves close to its current all-time high at the $109,000 threshold, which is about 5% away from reclaiming it. Many key on-chain metrics have started to flash a bullish signal akin to earlier parabolic periods in BTC’s market history.

Lately, metrics like the Funding Rates have moved into positive territory, which implies that the flagship asset’s price is likely to increase in the short term. The most recent metric signaling a continued upward performance for BTC’s price is the Growth Rate Difference.

Kyle Doops, a market expert and host of the Crypto Banter Show, outlined a promising development in BTC’s market dynamics due to a notable shift in the Bitcoin Growth Rate Difference metric. This indicator, which indicates the current state of the market, shows that BTC entered another bull phase after slightly hovering in the bearish territory.

With the market sentiment improving and Bitcoin continuing its upward trajectory, this shift into a bull phase indicates that the groundwork for a steady rise might be taking shape. During past scenarios, BTC’s price witnessed a robust upward performance, suggesting that the current rally is strengthening.

According to the market expert, the Growth Rate Difference Market Cap Vs. Realized Cap flipping from red to green is not just noise. Rather, the positive move shows that “BTC might be gearing up for something big” in the remaining period of this ongoing cycle.

Kyle Doops further pointed to key developments that show that the setup is solid unless something breaks, such as a significant number of investors’ holdings returning to profit territory or sentiment turning positive. Overall, the expert is confident that the shift could start a parabolic move to a new all-time high.

Retail Investors’ Presence Remains Low In Current Market State

While Bitcoin prepares for a parabolic move as indicated by the Growth Rate Difference metric, sentiment among retail investors is relatively low. Darkfost, an on-chain analyst and author, reported that retail investors are still mostly absent even as BTC is now only around 5% away from its all-time high.

The on-chain expert’s analysis is based on retail transactions between $0 and $10,000. In the past, spikes in retail demand have occurred close to market tops, raising concerns about when their enthusiasm will resume. However, these investors frequently show little demand during corrections.

This current trend was also observed between June and September 2024, when retail demand was noticeably poor even though the market offered attractive opportunities. Retail demand may be low for now, but Darkfost noted that these investors are likely to come in late as usual, which is indicative of their general inexperience.

The India-Pakistan conflict has reached a ceasefire after Trump intervened. The news has seen Bitcoin and many of the best altcoins surge again, reflecting the power of world headlines to nudge the needle.

Trump himself broke the good news of the ceasefire on Saturday in a Truth Social post.

The conflict officially started on May 7, 2025, after India launched multiple rockets into Pakistani territory as part of Operation Sindoor. India justified the attack by invoking Pakistan’s April 22 Pahalgam attack, which resulted in 26 civilian deaths.

The war between the two nuclear powers could’ve had a different outcome were it not for Trump’s prompt intervention. The US President congratulated the two countries for reaching an immediate ceasefire and potentially saving millions of lives as a result.

Vice President, JD Vance’s also addressed the conflict in an interview with Fox News, three days ago, where he said:

‘What we can do is try to encourage these folks to de-escalate a little bit, but we’re not going to get involved in the middle of a war that’s fundamentally none of our business. […] Our hope and our expectation is that this will not spiral into a nuclear war.’

Fortunately, the two parties involved in the conflict reached a consensus after Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, discussed the matter with both Indian and Pakistani officials.

Following the ceasefire, India and Pakistan are expected to hold broader talks on a neutral platform to seek long-lasting peace.

Positive Macro News Trigger a New Bull Run

Aside from avoiding a nuclear holocaust across the Middle East and South Asia, the relief of a ceasefire may have lit a fire under Bitcoin over the weekend, with $BTC peaking at $105,626, according to CoinMarketCap.

The news was part of several hopeful geo-political developments this past weekend, including renewed tariff talks between China and the US, and Russian President Putin saying on X that he was “in the mood for serious talks with Ukraine.”

The combined effect has been that Bitcoin is pushing to $105K again as we speak, standing just above $104K at the time of writing.

This is not only good news for Bitcoin, but for several new crypto projects as well. Here are three of the best altcoins that could reward your vote of confidence with a juicy ROI if you act now.

1. SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) – AI-Driven Content Creator Offering Exclusive Rewards and Tools

SUBBD Token ($SUBBD) is the token behind the first AI-driven content creator platform. Still in its presale phase, it offers investors a variety of exclusive rewards and content creation tools.

The project aims to close the gap between creators and fans by rewarding fan loyalty, boosting user engagement, and taking over some of the creators’ admin tasks.

SUBBD Token relies on tools like the AI Assistant to manage the post-production process, giving creators more time to create engaging content for their fans.

The AI Creator is another innovative tool that lets users create, market, and monetize their virtual content creator, exploiting a niche that could prove very lucrative.

SUBBD Token is one of the best presales right now, having accumulated over $375K in no time. $SUBBD currently stands at $0.055375 and comes with fixed staking rewards of 20% APY.

If you’re interested in joining the $SUBBD bandwagon, check out our ‘how to buy $SUBBD’ guide today. You can also read our price prediction for a more accurate understanding of the project’s potential.

2. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Meme Coin Project Offering Free $BTC Airdrops

BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is one of the hottest meme coins today because it offers investors $BTC airdrops as Bitcoin grows by $50K.

The first airdrop is scheduled for the $150K price point, while a massive $BTCBULL airdrop of 10% of the total token supply is scheduled for when Bitcoin reaches $250K.

BTC Bull Token is a meme coin born out of the idea that Bitcoin will eventually reach and surpass the $1M goal. To that end, BTC Bull Token hopes to rally investors and attract $BTC maximilists along for the ride.

If you want to jump in, the presale is currently at over $5.6M with a token price of $0.00251, which is guaranteed to grow as the end of the presale approaches.

Just make sure you keep your $BTCBULL in Best Wallet if you want to qualify for the coming $BTC airdrops.

Staking offers a dynamic APY of 73%, so joining now ensures higher returns, given that the staking rewards drop in value as more people join the pool.

Read our ‘how to buy $BTCBULL’ guide and check out our price prediction for the project for 2025 and beyond.

3. Pi Network ($PI) – Cryptocurrency You Can Mine On Your Phone

Pi Network ($PI) is the first cryptocurrency you can mine on your phone thanks to its Stellar Consensus Protocol.

The decentralized network makes mining easier and more affordable than ever, reducing the electricity footprint and making it more accessible to more people. You no longer need a high-end PC or a specific mining device to get your crypto; your phone will do.

More importantly, the mining process won’t stress your device and won’t drain your phone’s battery either.

It’s easy to see why $PI is trending on CoinMarketCap, with a 30-day token boost of 105% and a market cap increase of 44%.

$PI currently stands at $1.31, but it seems to be on a bull run. If you’ve never fulfilled your dream of becoming a crypto miner, this may be the perfect time to do it.

The project enjoys a positive community sentiment of 88% and a lot of FOMO-inducing hype on social media, so tune in while it lasts.

Recent World Events May Have Angered The Meanest Bitcoin Bull in Recent Times

Bitcoin’s steroid-fueled run slowed down after it surpassed the critical threshold of $105K, but it definitely didn’t stop.

If anything, $BTC’s chart performance over the weekend is a reminder of how world events, both positive and negative, can impact the crypto-sphere.

Now, the end of the India-Pakistan conflict could signal the start of the bull era, not only for Bitcoin but for altcoins like SUDDB Token ($SUBBD) and BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL).

Remember, this isn’t financial advice. Even in a bull environment, the crypto market remains volatile and unpredictable. DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and invest wisely.

Аналитики HTX Research сообщили, что в логике ценообразования первой криптовалюты произошло фундаментальное изменение — рынок перешел от краткосрочных спекуляций к долгосрочному распределению капитала.
