Crypto Reserve For Confiscated Assets On Kazakhstan’s Agenda, Report

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 15:00

Kazakhstan is exploring a significant move into the cryptocurrency arena, contemplating the establishment of its first-ever cryptocurrency reserve. This, amid a record-breaking rally in Bitcoin (BTC) and an increasing adoption of digital assets by institutions, public companies, and nations. 

Reports from local media indicate that the country’s gold and foreign exchange reserves, alongside the assets of the National Fund, are being considered for investment in crypto assets.

Kazakhstan Eyes Crypto Assets For National Fund

During a recent press conference, Timur Suleimenov, the head of the National Bank of Kazakhstan, outlined the country’s intentions. He mentioned that Kazakhstan is developing an alternative investment portfolio for its gold and foreign exchange reserves, as well as for the National Fund. 

This portfolio reportedly aims to employ more aggressive strategies to enhance investment returns. Suleimenov noted that the country is looking at successful models from the Norwegian fund, American practices, and strategies used by Middle Eastern funds, many of which include investments in digital assets, either directly or through related exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and stocks.

Suleimenov emphasized that while the potential for high returns from such investments is appealing, the inherent volatility of digital assets necessitates a cautious approach. 

He stated, “This is not an easy question, so you can’t rush here. Yes, such assets can bring high returns, but at the same time, they are characterized by high volatility.”

Evolving Digital Asset Regulations

In addition to the investment plans, the National Bank is also considering the creation of a state reserve for crypto assets. This reserve would be designated for storing digital assets that have been confiscated by law enforcement agencies. 

To facilitate this, a separate infrastructure would be established, illustrating Kazakhstan’s commitment to not only participating in the digital asset economy but also managing it responsibly.

Furthermore, Suleimenov mentioned that if certain enterprises engage in mining cryptocurrencies on behalf of the state, a portion of those assets could be directed into the crypto reserve through taxes or mandatory payments. 

The regulatory landscape in Kazakhstan is also evolving. Recently, there have been discussions about implementing administrative and criminal penalties for transactions involving crypto assets on the “gray market.” 

Currently, digital asset trading is permitted only on licensed exchanges within the Astana International Financial Centre (AIFC). The National Bank is also planning to impose restrictions on advertising related to digital assets, aiming to create a more controlled environment for crypto transactions.

As of this writing, Bitcoin trades at $117,450. However, the market’s largest cryptocurrency saw its price reach a new record earlier on Monday of $123,000, registering an 11% surge in the monthly time frame.

Gone Without A Trace: Darknet Bitcoin Platform Vanishes In Suspected Scam

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 15:00

Abacus Market, one of the biggest Bitcoin-powered darknet bazaars in the West, has gone offline without warning. According to TRM Labs, its clearnet mirror, website and wallets all vanished at once.

Users first reported trouble withdrawing funds in late June. Then deposits plunged from around $230,000 a day in early June to just $13,000 daily between June 28 and July 10. Now, many think the operators simply grabbed the cash and disappeared.

Market Faces Sudden Shutdown

Based on reports from TRM Labs, Abacus’s admin—known as “Vito”—blamed a surge of new users and a DDoS attack when withdrawals started failing. But users rushed to pull their money anyway.

That deposit drop was a clear sign something was wrong. When a site handles more than $6.3 million in a single month after Archetyp Market’s June 16 closure, it’s bound to draw unwanted eyes.

Volume Spike Attracted Attention

According to TRM Labs, Abacus saw its highest monthly sales ever in June. Archetyp’s shutdown sent buyers scrambling, and Abacus’s share of the Bitcoin-supporting Western dark market shot above 70% after the fall of ASAP Market last July and Incognito Market’s seizure in March 2024.

Over four years, the site sold nearly $100 million in Bitcoin. But since much of its trade used Monero—a privacy coin—actual volume may lie between $300 million and $400 million.

Customers Flee As Trust Erodes

Based on user reports, many traders grew nervous when withdrawal hiccups began. Vito’s message didn’t calm fears. Instead, more people pulled their funds out and moved on.

Darknet markets tend to lose users at the first sign of trouble. Once trust is gone, deposits dry up fast. In Abacus’s case, that change was a drop of almost 95% in daily inflows over two weeks.

Future Of Darknet Markets

According to TRM Labs, operators who reach the top often become law enforcement targets. Some admins opt to exit with the money rather than face arrest.

Past examples include Evolution Market’s exit scam and the quietly closed Agora Market. It’s also possible that authorities seized Abacus and are keeping it quiet while they track buyers and sellers. But insiders on the Dread discussion forum cast doubt on that theory for now.

For now, traders and vendors must treat every darknet site as temporary. Based on this latest shutdown, it’s clear that even markets with millions in monthly volume can vanish overnight.

$PUMP Token Launched with $5.6B Market Cap after $500M ICO: What Will $SNORT Do?

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 14:13

Pump Fun, the Solana-based meme coin launchpad, recently debuted its own token, $PUMP, which reached a staggering $5.6B market cap on the very first day of trading.

At the time of writing, the market cap sits around $5.04B. The Initial Coin Offering (ICO) lasted just 12 minutes on July 12, raising $500M by selling 125B tokens, reaching a $4B valuation in the process.

While many initially called this valuation excessive, the explosive listing has largely silenced those concerns.

This historic launch not only validates the potential of meme coin infrastructure projects, but also signals the beginning of another major rally in the meme coin space, especially on Solana.

If you’re looking to ride the next wave, Snorter Token ($SNORT) deserves your attention.

$PUMP’s Pump Proves the Next Meme Coin Bull Run Is Brewing

The pre-market valuation was even higher, peaking at $7.2B, according to recent coverage by DeFi information platform The Defiant.

The token’s perpetual futures ranked third in volume on Hyperliquid, trailing only $BTC and $ETH, and that, too, with just 3x leverage.

$PUMP currently dominates Solana’s meme coin mindshare, commanding 28.47% of the ecosystem. It’s closely followed by $PENGU, which holds a 23.08% share.

It’s also worth noting that:

  • Whales showed strong interest in the $PUMP ICO. While the average spend was around $44,209, the median was just $550.
  • Over 200 wallets accumulated at least $1M worth of $PUMP.
  • Since its launch in early 2024, Pumpfun’s revenue has grown steadily, now sitting at around $630M, with the 30-day revenue alone at $6.1M.
  • Lastly, the total number of cumulative addresses on the platform has also surpassed 20M.

This explosive demand and performance underline a clear market signal: investor appetite for the best meme coins and altcoins is back in full force.

A token launchpad achieving this level of traction only strengthens the belief that the next meme coin bull run is just around the corner.

With one viral meme coin after another launching on Solana, it’s time to look at a new trading bot that could actually help you capitalize on these pumps. Enter one of the newest projects around: Snorter Token ($SNORT).

What is Snorter?

So, what is Snorter? In short, Snorter is a new Telegram-native trading bot built to offer retail meme coin traders on Solana a seamless and secure experience, equipping them with all the tools needed to make a killing in the markets.

For example, Snorter Bot comes with automated sniping, allowing users to place buy/sell limit and stop orders, which the bot then executes at lightning speed, automatically.

This gives retail traders the ability to snipe liquidity in new meme coins – in other words, to buy tokens as soon as liquidity arrives, positioning themselves just before potential pumps.

It’s worth noting that the first pumps in new meme coins are often the most profitable, and until now, institutional players have been the ones eating up that early liquidity using advanced trading tools. Snorter levels the playing field.

At launch, Snorter Bot will only be compatible with Solana, though it’ll soon expand support to Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, and Base.

How Snorter’s Security & Simplicity Set It up for Success

The current crypto landscape is unfortunately rife with scams and theft. But Snorter features airtight security, covering virtually every nook and corner.

In addition to independently verifying each token before allowing users to trade it, Snorter also comes equipped with front-running protection and advanced detection mechanisms to sniff out honeypots and rug pulls.

Additionally, the bot is also capable of protecting you against sophisticated MEV (or sandwich) attacks, which are often used by other bockchain bots to manipulate transaction order and extract profits at the trader’s expense.

Despite being laced with high-end features, Snorter remains one of the easiest-to-use trading bots out there.

As mentioned above, it’s built natively on Telegram, meaning you can simply interact with it (place buy/sell orders, copy trades from crypto pros, and even manage your portfolio) through the app’s chat interface. No need for complicated dashboards or clunky browser extensions.

Buy $SNORT to Ride This Trading Bot’s Market Adoption

Snorter is uniquely positioned to benefit from the growing crypto footprint, particularly in the meme coin segment, where demand for reliable trading tools is only set to increase.

You can be part of Snorter Bot’s rising momentum by purchasing Snorter Token ($SNORT), the platform’s native cryptocurrency.

The token is currently in presale, with over $1.8M raised in early investor funding so far. And right now, one $SNORT is available for a low price of $0.0983.

The best part? Our Snorter Token price prediction suggests that it could be the next crypto to explode, potentially surging 1,850% to hit $1.92 by 2026.

If this is your first crypto presale purchase, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to buy $SNORT.

Cardano Foundation Reveals $659 Million Treasury In ADA, BTC And Fiat

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 14:00

Cardano’s second annual Financial Insights Report lays bare the Foundation’s balance sheet and spending strategy for the first time on-chain, confirming a treasury worth $659.1 million split across ADA, bitcoin and fiat reserves. “As of 31 December 2024, the Foundation’s assets amounted to 659.1 million USD with 76.7% held in ADA, 15.0% in BTC, and the remaining 8.3% in cash, cash equivalents and financial assets,” the report states, adding that the 599.2 million ADA stake produced 17.1 million ADA in rewards last year, a 2.7 % return that now finances day-to-day operations without liquidating core holdings.

Cardano Publishes Financials On-Chain

Chief executive Frederik Gregaard sets the tone in his foreword, arguing that “sharing not only our achievements but also how we allocate resources is fundamental to building trust and ensuring long-term success.” He notes that 2024 spending reached $29.2 million, of which $22.1 million went directly into the Foundation’s three strategic pillars—adoption, operational resilience and education—while $7.1 million covered legal, governance, finance and infrastructure overheads “essential to scaling our delivery and ensuring our work remains robust, accountable and future-proof.”

More than half of last year’s budget—$15 million—fuelled adoption initiatives. Those dollars underwrote enterprise pilots ranging from a NASA tracking solution to a ballistic-identification system, the soft-launch of the Reeve on-chain accounting tool, and partnerships with Barcelona FC, Amnesty International, Swisscom and the UN Development Programme, among others.

Operational resilience absorbed $3.8 million, financing the launch of the open-source Cardano.org stack, public network-congestion monitors, preliminary work on the Ouroboros Genesis upgrade and Cardano’s contribution to the Chang hard fork era of decentralised governance. Education programmes drew $3.3 million, funding the Cardano Blockchain Certified Associate (CBCA) exam, regulatory engagement with the Bank for International Settlements and a 1,000-strong Cardano Summit in Dubai.

Transparency itself became a budget line: the Foundation has migrated its entire 2024 general ledger to Reeve, a bespoke reporting tool that anchors financial statements, treasury balances and expenditure records directly on Cardano. Reeve, the report explains, “records, verifies and shares financial data directly on the Cardano blockchain,” allowing stakeholders to audit immutable entries without relying on external gatekeepers.

That step, Gregaard says, “reaffirms our dedication to financial responsibility and strategic investment,” and signals an open invitation to the community to verify every figure. By combining on-chain disclosure with a narrative report that converts ADA and bitcoin balances into USD, the Foundation hopes to satisfy both technically minded auditors and mainstream readers.

With a war chest still dominated by native ADA—originally seeded by an endowment of 648 million ADA and 8,258 BTC—the Foundation faces no immediate liquidity pressures. Its delegation policy continues to funnel stake to mission-critical pools that contribute code or infrastructure, reinforcing a self-referential ecosystem in which staking rewards fund further development.

At press time, ADA traded at $0.7277.

US Banks Release Joint Statement on Banking Services to Safekeep Crypto Like Bitcoin — Best Wallet’s Non-Custodial Wallet Offers Highly Secure Alternative

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 13:15

US banking regulators released a joint statement yesterday allowing banking organizations to provide safekeeping services for crypto like Bitcoin.

A key point in the statement covers the management of crypto keys, including the generation of these keys and taking the necessary precautions when they are lost or compromised.

Keys are an integral part of crypto ownership and security, and questions about custody are increasingly important, especially as more people worldwide expand into digital assets.

This is why self-custody crypto wallets, like the one behind Best Wallet Token ($BEST), allow users direct ownership and management of their keys, delivering a generally more secure environment than custodial services.

Banks Must Secure Clients’ Assets, Can Be Held Liable for Lost or Compromised Keys

The joint statement was made by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC), the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Board), and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).

These US banking regulators outlined existing laws, regulations, and risk-management principles that will apply to crypto safekeeping services.

For one, the agencies outlined the importance of cryptographic keys, which could result in financial loss if these keys are lost or compromised. They added that banking organizations may be held liable for their customers’ losses.

Because of this, banks must implement risk-management measures to secure these keys, including how these are generated and having a contingency plan if these keys are lost or compromised.

They also urged these organizations to ‘consider the evolving nature of the crypto-asset market,’ which includes the underlying technology and having a risk governance framework that allows them to adapt to the risks involved in the safekeeping services they are providing.

Like other banking services, these services will also have to meet strict standards for anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-financing of terrorism (CFT), among other similar regulations.

As such, organizations that safeguard crypto for their clients must verify the identity of their customers and continuously monitor transactions for suspicious activity, among other things.

The Increasing Need for Crypto Key Security as Crypto Ownership Grows

With more and more individuals owning crypto, there’s also a growing demand for highly secure crypto wallets.

According to a report by crypto exchange and custodian Gemini, crypto ownership is growing worldwide. In Singapore, for example, 28% of respondents said they had crypto investments.

Meanwhile, the UK saw the biggest jump among countries surveyed from only 18% in 2024 to 24% in 2025.

While banks and exchanges offer people a convenient means to store their digital assets, some crypto owners may prefer to secure their assets on their own. This is where non-custodial crypto wallets come in. Secure Your Digital Assets with Best Wallet, Powered by Best Wallet Token

Non-custodial crypto wallets allow individuals complete control over their private keys. The reason for this is that you use these keys to sign transactions and prove that you really own your digital assets.

In contrast, custodial wallets are those in which third parties like banks and wallet providers hold your keys for you. It’s convenient but less secure than non-custodial wallets.

Best Wallet comes in as one of the newest, most secure, and most user-friendly non-custodial crypto wallets in the market today.

Aside from letting you control your keys, you can also secure the wallet app itself with a code and your biometric data. All these layers of security help ensure that only you can access your wallet.

Best Wallet isn’t just for storing your digital assets, though. You can buy, trade, and swap crypto, and even access the best presales via its Token Launchpad.

It’s available for both iOS and Android devices, making it extra convenient to use while still being secure.

If you want to get the most out of your wallet, you can also get its native Best Wallet Token ($BEST).

Owning this token gives you additional perks, like low transaction fees, early access to presales, and governance rights that allow you to vote on matters relating to the Best Wallet ecosystem.

$BEST is fairly affordable at only $0.025335 via its official presale page or the Best Wallet app.

Our Best Wallet token buying guide has step-by-step instructions on how to get your hands on $BEST.

Alternatively, you can stake your tokens to earn passive rewards. HODLing is a great option too considering that $BEST may reach as high as $0.82 in 2030 according to our Best Wallet Token price prediction.

Want Top-Notch Crypto Security? Non-Custodial Wallets are One of the Safest Bets

It’s always good news when government agencies finally accept that digital currencies are the future. The statement providing banks with more clarity regarding crypto safekeeping services is one such example of this kind of news.

The part regarding crypto keys is significant as it stresses the role of banks in securing these keys and adds that providers may be liable if customers lose their digital funds in the event of a data leak or hack.

This is where non-custodial crypto wallets like Best Wallet are ahead of the curve. Customers of self-custody service providers already have control over their private keys for superior security.

What’s more, owning Best Wallet Token ($BEST) gives you additional perks like governance rights. These will allow you to vote on how the ecosystem should evolve regarding essential matters, such as security.

If you want to invest in crypto, do your own research. This is not financial advice.

Ripple Vs. SEC: Former SEC Lawyer Reveals What Is Holding Back The Lawsuit

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 13:00

The lawsuit brought against Ripple by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has raged on for the last five years. While the last year has brought very good news for supporters of XRP, it has yet to be dismissed completely, which has further dampened morale. But while it seems that there is something major holding the lawsuit from being concluded, a former SEC lawyer has come forth to verify that what is actually holding back the conclusion.

No Pending Decisions In Ripple Vs. SEC Lawsuit

After one XRP community member known as ToniTheRippler posted on X (formerly Twitter) about the possibility of Ripple’s banking license being approved, a debate was quickly sparked in the comments over when this could happen. Community members were mainly worried about the ongoing Ripple Vs. SEC lawsuit and how this could impact and probably delay the approval of the banking license.

One community member responded that things are expected to move fast now that there is a pro-crypto SEC. However, another user commented that if it were so, they would have dropped the Ripple case already. A third user then explained that the fault does not lie with the SEC, but rather with the judge, Judge Analisa Torres, who has ordered that both parties follow due process in their bid to drop the case.

Given the multiple angles being thrown around, former SEC lawyer Marc Fagel chimed in to clear the air and reveal what was really holding up the case. Since both the SEC and Ripple have agreed to drop the case, Fagel revealed that neither of them was to blame for the case not being dropped yet. Rather, both parties have to follow the standard procedure to do so, and the problem was that this procedure typically takes between 1 and 2 months before it is completed.

Explaining further, Fagel, responding to the same user, explained that both parties had actually already resubmitted their filings to drop the case. But the court decided that they had failed to meet the burden required. Thus, Judge Analissa Torres had refused to modify the order against Ripple.

This means that presently, there is actually nothing left to be deliberated on by the court, as both parties no longer have any pending judgments. Instead, they now have to work to actually meet the requirements to completely dismiss the appeals that were initially filed by both parties, which Fagel said they would do shortly.

As for when the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit would be completely done, going by the timeline provided by Fagel, it would mean that the lawsuit should be concluded by late-August, barring any other developments.

July 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Bonk’s chart in the last week is one of the most bullish you’ll see, with a 24% bump that doesn’t look like it’ll stoop anytime soon.

The coin’s market cap increased by 10% in the last 24h to $2.39B, and the trading volume spiked by 10% to $1.18B. According to Coinglass, Bonk’s Open Interest (OI) climbed to over $500M today, up from $393M on Saturday.

This was the highest OI we’d seen since December, and it could mean higher peaks for BONK.

Solana meme coins are red-hot investments currently, with the 24h trading volume increasing by 17%, and newcomers like $PUMP (Pump.fun’s official token) are leading the rally.

In this context, Snorter Token ($SNORT) could have an explosive future because it introduces the cheapest, fastest, and most accessible trading bot on Solana (with rugpull protection baked in).

The presale nears $2M in presale and has a token price of $0.0981 currently, with over 206% in staking APY for more profits down the line.

Wintermute Report: Retail Traders Warming up to Meme Coins and Alts While Institutions Chase $BTC and $ETH

July 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Leading market maker firm Wintermute found a growing split in the crypto market, with a 30% divergence between retail traders and institutions.

The company’s most recent report on Q1–Q2 2025 points to a new trend — as institutions are doubling down on $BTC and $ETH treasuries, small-scale traders are moving towards smaller-cap tokens like meme coins and other altcoins.

Although institutional and retail crypto strategies used to move together, it’s becoming increasingly clear that regular crypto users are growing an appetite for new, high-risk coins with better short-term potential upside.

This divergence may not be temporary, according to Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy. While institutions are treating crypto as a macro asset, regular investors now seek innovation, says Gaevoy.

It’s not just $DOGE seeing attention, though. The best meme coins lately have actually been smaller caps like $PENGU and $MOG — up 200% and 77% over the past month, respectively.

July 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Meet Solana, the home of meme coins and arguably a blue-chip crypto that’s received significant attention lately:

  • A $78M inflow from $SOL ETPs on July 9
  • Large institutional investors bet on $SOL’s price spiking up
  • The number of active addresses jumped to over 16M, the highest it’s been in a year by far
  • Netflows points to $SOL investors holding instead of selling

Solana’s hovering around the $160 level currently, with an 18% increase in its 24-hour trading volume. And according to some, $SOL is in an ascending trendline and reclaiming key support levels.

Will we see Solana rush toward $200 and beyond? One trader, Ali, even claims a bull run to $2K is in the books, though the price prediction is clearly exaggerated at the moment.

Still, a $SOL rally is a definitive possibility here, and it’s presales that might benefit the most due to their low price and appealing narratives.

Projects like Snorter Token ($SNORT) could be on the brink of explosion as the $SOL ecosystem gains ground. With investors chasing profits amidst the current rally, presales rise as some of the most profitable opportunities.

Take a look at the best crypto presales of 2025 and choose your poison.

Pump.fun ICO Record & Snorter Token Prove Solana Blockchain Is Going Strong with Explosive Presales

July 15, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Cryptocurrency launchpad Pump.fun might have delivered one of the fastest-moving presales to date. The Pump.fun ($PUMP) ICO launched on July 12 and raised $500M in just 12 minutes.

The platform sold 125B tokens in the pre-market stage, launching with a fully diluted valuation of approximately $5.6B on July 14. As per CoinMarketCap data, the $PUMP token started trading at $0.00627 and reached $0.01214 on the same day it launched.

Since then, the coin has dropped 15%, although Solscan shows holder numbers remain stable, above 37K.

While $PUMP is cooling off, another Solana presale is slowly climbing the ranks. Snorter Token ($SNORT) has raised over $1.8M and is preparing for Stage 3, when it will release a Telegram sniping bot with built-in limit orders and rugpull protection for early-market Solana tokens.

These booming presales, along with upcoming $SOL ETFs, show investor interest in Solana is at an all time high.

Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Explodes 8%—What Does It Mean?

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 12:00

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin Difficulty has seen a sharp increase in the latest network adjustment. Here’s what this means for the blockchain.

Bitcoin Difficulty Has Seen An 8% Jump In Latest Adjustment

According to data from CoinWarz, the most recent BTC Difficulty adjustment made things harder for the miners. The “Difficulty” here refers to a feature built into the Bitcoin blockchain that controls how hard the validators would find it to mine blocks on the network right now.

The metric is controlled entirely by the code that Satoshi wrote in and automatically changes its value about every two weeks, according to network conditions at the time.

The pseudonymous creator of the cryptocurrency had one goal in mind when creating the Difficulty: the network must not deviate from a standard block time of 10 minutes per block.

Whenever the miners are faster than this rate (that is, they mine a block in fewer than 10 minutes on average), the network reacts by raising the metric, in order to slow the validators back down to the intended speed. Similarly, the blockchain reduces the Difficulty if miners are unable to hit the target time.

The latest network adjustment occurred this past weekend. Here’s a chart that shows how the Difficulty changed during it:

Prior to the adjustment, the Bitcoin Difficulty stood at 116.9 terahashes, but now, it has jumped to 126.2 terahashes. This reflects a very notable rise of almost 8%.

Considering the increase, it would appear that the miners were significantly faster at their task during the last couple of weeks compared to the norm. Miners speed up whenever they add more computing power to their facilities. And indeed, the trend in the Hashrate, a metric keeping track of the miners’ total computing power, confirms that the validators have aggressively been expandingrecently.

As the above chart from Blockchain.com shows, the 7-day average Bitcoin Hashrate had plummeted earlier, which had caused a steep drop in the Difficulty. But since the low, miners have expanded back up and while the metric isn’t back at the all-time high (ATH) yet, it has come close.

Now that things are difficult for the miners again, though, it remains to be seen how long these upgrades would stick around. Miners that are just breaking-even can get pushed underwater by spikes in Difficulty and they usually respond by disconnecting their machines, causing a drop in the Hashrate.

In related news, the Bitcoin miners have been taking advantage of the breakout to the new price ATH, as analyst Ali Martinez has explained in an X post.

As is visible in the graph, the Bitcoin miner-associated wallets have offloaded around 70,000 BTC (worth almost $8.4 billion) since Thursday.

Gemini Predicts Ripple Price Surge: Here’s How High XRP Could Go

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 11:04

With Bitcoin hitting new all-time highs, investors are closely watching major altcoins like Ripple’s XRP, which could potentially follow in $BTC’s footsteps and post record-breaking gains of its own.

Interestingly, when we asked Gemini, Google’s AI chatbot, for its 2025 price prediction for $XRP, it gave an initial technical target of $6.27. That would be more than 100% returns from the token’s current price of $2.85.

Keep reading to find out just how far and fast $XRP could run in the next few months, the key reasons behind this bullish outlook, and why investors are also backing SUBBD Token.

This new project combines utility, innovation, and early-mover potential (just like XRP) and might become the next breakout winner.

$XRP Holding Strong After a Breakout

$XRP mirrored $BTC’s bullish momentum and broke out itself last week, surging out of a classic descending triangle pattern, which typically represents a period of consolidating prices.

It’s worth noting that $XRP had been in this consolidation phase since the second week of January, which makes this breakout all the more significant and rally-worthy.

At the time of writing, the token is trading just shy of the $3 mark, which is a strong psychological resistance level.

If $XRP can sustain its newfound momentum, the next target is $3.3991, the previous ATH. Beyond that, it could climb to $4.2607, as projected by the blue box in the image above.

We calculated this target by measuring the breadth (width) of the descending triangle and mapping it onto the breakout move, as per textbook technical analysis.

Top Reasons Behind XRP’s Potential Growth

XRP could well and truly exceed our projections thanks to several factors playing out in its favor.

  • XRP Ledger’s built-in compliance features make it particularly appealing to financial institutions looking to join the growing momentum of tokenizing real-world assets like stocks and bonds.
  • The network is actively working on integrating smart contract functionality, including an Ethereum-compatible sidechain, which could significantly expand its utility and developer adoption.
  • According to analysts at Standard Chartered, $XRP is uniquely positioned to benefit from the increasing regulatory clarity around stablecoins.

All in all, XRP’s recent surge is a strong signal that investors are now targeting utility-driven altcoins that could become the next crypto to explode.

If you’re also looking to benefit from an early-stage but high-potential crypto project, we highly recommend checking out SUBBD Token ($SUBBD).

What Is SUBBD?

SUBBD is a brand-new content platform that stands out from the competition in two key ways.

First, it’s powered by cryptocurrency ($SUBBD, the platform’s native token). Second, it’s among the first to integrate powerful and actually useful AI tools for creators.

It’s worth highlighting that online creators currently have to put up with platforms that are, for lack of a better word, leeches that demand an arm and a leg while providing very little in return.

Creators often pay exorbitant fees (sometimes upward of 70% of their total revenue) and don’t receive the kind of support, let alone help with content creation, that they should. Enter SUBBD Token, a new cryptocurrency project that aims to change that.

SUBBD flips the script by offering creators a suite of AI-powered tools, including voice, image, video, and profile generators, which automates both the content production and management process.

As a result, creators will get more time to organically engage with their fans. And that’s really the whole point of supporting homegrown creators in the first place: they’re relatable, authentic, and worth connecting with.

$SUBBD Token Holders Get the Most Out of the Platform

Creators who hold the $SUBBD token will enjoy early access to beta features, new creator tools, launchpads, and other creator-specific perks.

And while SUBBD is undoubtedly a godsend for creators, it’s equally rewarding for the fans – so long as you hold the platform’s native cryptocurrency, SUBBD Token ($SUBBD).

For starters, you can use $SUBBD to access premium content from your favorite creators. You’ll be able to tip and subscribe without paying a single penny in bank fees.

Beyond that, $SUBBD holders unlock exclusive discounts on creator content and subscriptions, voting rights, one-on-one chat access with creators, and the ability to send personalized content requests.

Staking $SUBBD also comes with serious perks, including a 20% fixed APY, daily behind-the-scenes (BTS) drops, exclusive creator livestreams, and in-house content from SUBBD’s top talent.

SUBBD Token Is Currently in Presale

Buying and holding $SUBBD won’t just unlock a variety of in-platform benefits, but it’ll also put you in a unique position to ride the platform’s growth.

Our $SUBBD price prediction suggests the token could reach $2.50 by 2030, meaning you could see a brain-melting 4,400% return if you buy $SUBBD now.

The best part? The token is currently in presale, so prices are among the lowest they’ll ever be.

One $SUBBD is available for just $0.055925, and the project has in total raised over $800K so far. And here’s a detailed guide on how to buy SUBBD Token.

Battle For Freedom: Tornado Cash Founder Seeks $1.5M In Donations Ahead Of Trial

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 11:00

Tornado Cash co-founder Roman Storm has called the crypto community and privacy advocates to help him raise an additional $1 million in the coming weeks to continue his legal defense and the battle for privacy tools.

Tornado Cash Founder Faces Fundraising Shortfall

The co-founder of crypto mixer Tornado Cash, Roman Storm, has updated his fundraising target and is pushing to raise over $1 million to continue funding his legal battle. Over the weekend, Storm revealed that his team is facing a “critical shortfall” ahead of the start of his July trial.

The Tornado Cash co-founder explained that he needs to raise $500,000 in the next few days and $1.5 million within a couple of weeks to cover escalating legal fees, expert witnesses, and research.

He detailed that his planned 2-week trial, scheduled to begin on July 14, is now expected to last 3-4 weeks due to “complex legal arguments and unforeseen witnesses and evidence.” As a result, expenses for expert testimonies, thorough research, and his legal team have significantly increased.

My team is working nonstop to defend code as free speech, protect software development, and push back against government overreach that threatens us all. If you can help, please donate now – every contribution counts in this battle for our freedoms.

For context, the US Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned Tornado Cash in August 2022 for “failing to impose effective controls” to prevent malicious actors from laundering funds through the protocol, including $455 million by North Korea’s Lazarus Group.

Storm and the crypto mixer’s developer, Alexey Pertsev, were detained after the sanctions. Pertsev was sentenced to 5 years in the Netherlands after being found guilty of money laundering by the s-Hertogenbosch Court of Appeal in May 2024, and is currently working on his appeal.

Meanwhile, Storm was detained in Washington in August 2023 and faces three charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit sanctions violations, and conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money-transmitting business.

Storm pleaded not guilty to all charges and was freed on a $2 million bond. However, if convicted, he could face up to 45 years in prison. His trial, initially scheduled for December 2024, has been delayed twice.

Crypto Community Aids Storm’s Legal Defense

On Monday, Julian Zawistowski of the Golem Foundation shared that they had donated 50 ETH, worth around $150,000, stating that they’ve “always walked the walk when it comes to important causes. (…) Time for others in our industry to step up too.”

Meanwhile, developer and contributor to Meta Cartel DAO Bill Warren affirmed that the organization had donated all the funds in its treasury to support Storm’s case. Warren also urged privacy and decentralization advocates to contribute to the Tornado Cash co-founder’s legal defense.

Earlier this year, crypto investment firm Paradigm donated over one million dollars to aid the Tornado Cash co-founder’s legal battle. The firm’s co-founder, Matt Huang, revealed that Paradigm was giving $1.25 million to help fund Storm’s legal defense.

Notably, the DeFi Education Fund sent a letter signed by multiple industry leaders to AI and Crypto Czar David Sacks, urging the White House to end the Department of Justice’s war on open-source developers.

The April letter affirmed that trying to hold software developers criminally liable for how third parties use their code will set a terrible precedent and “freeze” technological innovation in the US, which would oppose Trump’s promise to make America “the crypto capital of the planet.”

It also highlighted that the Southern District of New York (SDNY) is continuing its prosecution of Storm with charges related to money transmitting and other liabilities that could punish the Tornado Cash co-founder for the conduct of unrelated bad actors.

As of this writing, Storm has raised $2.12 million, 61% of the $3.5 million goal for his legal defense fund.

Лидеры криптоиндустрии: у кого больше биткоинов в 2025 году

bits.media/ - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 10:50
Курс первой криптовалюты преодолел отметку в $123 000. Во многом это объясняется ростом числа компаний, которые формируют резервы в BTC. Тем не менее, до сих пор никто из них не стал самым крупным холдером биткоина.

Bitcoin Overtakes Amazon’s $2.3 Trillion Market Cap – What’s Propelling Its Massive Run?

bitcoinist.com - Tue, 07/15/2025 - 10:00

Bitcoin (BTC) continues its historic price rally, soaring past $120,000 earlier today and surpassing e-commerce giant Amazon’s $2.38 trillion market capitalization. The flagship cryptocurrency now ranks just behind gold, Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple in terms of market cap.

Bitcoin Flips Amazon, What’s Behind The Run?

According to a recent X post by crypto analyst Crypto Rover, Bitcoin has officially overtaken Amazon in total market capitalization. The analyst shared the following chart, showing BTC with a $2.43 trillion market cap at a price of $122,304, compared to Amazon’s $2.38 trillion.

The chart also indicates that BTC is inching closer to Apple, which currently holds a market cap of $3.15 trillion. Gold remains the top global asset, commanding a massive $22.64 trillion valuation.

Several factors appear to be driving Bitcoin’s explosive rally. Chief among them is the surge in institutional interest, which is nearing all-time high (ATH) levels.

In a separate post, crypto analyst Mister Crypto noted that crypto investment products saw inflows of $3.7 billion last week – marking the second-largest weekly inflow ever. The analyst described this as an “extremely bullish signal.”

Meanwhile, data from SoSoValue reveals that total net assets held in spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have reached $150 billion – representing over 6.4% of BTC’s total market capitalization.

Companies Continue To Increase BTC Exposure

As Bitcoin gains traction as a reliable store of value, more corporations are adding BTC to their treasuries. For instance, Michael Saylor’s Strategy remains the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin and continues to expand its position.

The company announced today that it had acquired an additional 4,225 BTC for $472.5 million at an average price of $111,827 per BTC. MicroStrategy now holds 601,550 BTC, valued at $42.87 billion at an average cost of $71,268 per coin.

Similarly, Japanese investment firm Metaplanet – often dubbed “Asia’s Strategy” – revealed it had purchased 800 BTC. The company now holds 16,532 BTC and has set an ambitious target to accumulate 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027.

A recent report from institutional research firm Blockware Intelligence predicts that as many as 36 more companies could add BTC to their balance sheets by the end of 2025. This is likely to further cement BTC as a reliable store of value.

Adding to the bullish outlook, Bitcoin’s available supply on crypto exchanges continues to decline amid growing demand. This supply squeeze could further propel prices higher in the near term. At press time, BTC trades at $121,062, up 2% in the past 24 hours.
