In the latest XRP news, Ripple is reportedly partnering with Stellar as both firms look to revolutionize the payments industry. This came as crypto pundit ProfRippl highlighted the link between both firms through the International Rescue Committee (IRC). 

Ripple Reportedly Working With Stellar

In an X post, ProfRippl revealed that Ripple and Stellar are working together. This came as the crypto pundit highlighted the IRC’s links to both crypto firms, indicating that this was what led to the partnership between Ripple and Stellar. Notably, Ripple and IRC had partnered to explore using the crypto firm’s payment services for humanitarian donations. 

Meanwhile, Stellar had once mentioned how IRC distributed cash assistance to Ukraine through its ‘aid assist’. ProfRippl then raised the possibility of other IRC’s partners adopting Ripple and Stellar’s payment services for cross-border transactions. IRC has partnered with organizations such as the Bloomberg Foundation, Google, and the Citi Foundation, among others. 

Meanwhile, ProfRippl also tried to draw a connection between Ripple and former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, who reportedly has close ties with IRC’s CEO David Miliband. Based on this, the crypto pundit suggested that Ripple’s technology could easily be adopted as countries move to integrate cryptocurrencies into their payment infrastructure. 

Meanwhile, in another X post, the crypto pundit highlighted how Ripple and Stellar complement each other rather than being direct competitors. ProfRippl noted that Ripple’s XRP Ledger ensures high-assurance cross-ledger settlement while Stellar enables multi-currency routing and inclusive tokenization. 

ProfRipple further referenced articles that described Ripple and Stellar as layered architectures that serve different but complementary functions. It is worth noting that Stellar’s Jed McCaleb was one of those who created the XRP Ledger alongside Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz and Arthur Britto. 

Like Ripple, Stellar also provides cross-border payment services using its native token XLM. Meanwhile, Ripple uses XRP to power its payment services, with the altcoin serving as a bridge currency between the sender and receiver. 

Fed’s Waller Provides Major Boost For Ripple 

In another recent development, Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller provided a major boost for Ripple, stating that the Fed staff were exploring a ‘payment account’ to support payments innovation. The payment account will give stablecoin issuers like Ripple access to the Fed’s payment rails, making their operations more efficient. 

Notably, Ripple has already filed for a Fed master account, though there is no timeline for approval. However, Waller revealed that the payment account will have a streamlined review timeline, meaning Ripple may not need to wait for approval of the Fed master account before accessing the Fed’s payment rails. This comes as the crypto firm continues to expand its services, including its relationship partnership with South Africa’s Absa to provide digital asset custody services. 

Październik często postrzegany jest jako miesiąc sprzyjający rynkowi kryptowalut. W tym roku altcoiny spotkało jednak prawdziwe trzęsienie ziemi. Założyciel Ethereum wywołał szok na rynku krypto po ogromnej sprzedaży ETH.

Aktualnie Ethereum nie potrafi odzyskać wcześniejszego impetu wzrostowego, a nagła wyprzedaż ze strony jednego z założycieli sieci wywołała fale spekulacji wśród inwestorów.

Masowa wyprzedaż ze strony Vitalika Buterina

Ruch cenowy ETH nabrał na sile w kierunku spadków, a sprzedaż zarówno po stronie detalicznej, jak i instytucjonalnej wydaje się narastać jednocześnie. Vitalik Buterin, współzałożyciel Ethereum, dołączył do fali wyprzedaży, likwidując znaczną ilość tokenów w jednym dniu.

Według posta na platformie X udostępnionego przez entuzjastę kryptowalut i badacza DeFi, ­OxNobler – Buterin sprzedał ponad 160 000 ETH za około 650 mln USD. Po tej znaczącej wyprzedaży założyciel Ethereum wysłał sygnał alarmowy dla rynku.

Tak ogromna wyprzedaż zwykle rodzi liczne pytania, typu jaki był motyw takiego ruchu i jakie są możliwe konsekwencje dla dalszego kursu ETH?

W obliczu ogólnej zmienności rynku i chwiejnej postawy inwestorów, moment wydaje się szczególnie newralgiczny dla czołowej sieci.

Czy ruch ten odzwierciedla strategiczne zarządzanie portfelem, ostrożność rynkową czy może sygnał zmieniającego się sentymentu w kręgu liderów Ethereum? Na razie nie ma jednoznacznej odpowiedzi, natomiast wyprzedaż dodaje nową warstwę niepewności w dynamice rynkowej ETH.

Rezerwy strategiczne Ethereum spadają

Zaobserwowano również konsekwentny spadek strategicznych rezerw ETH należących do Ethereum Foundation. To sygnał, że organizacja może zmieniać sposób zarządzania aktywami i strategią skarbu.

We wtorek dane on-chain wykazały, że fundacja sprzedała 2 400 ETH o wartości około 9,3 mln USD, co stanowiło około 0,18% całkowitej podaży altcoina.

W ciągu ostatnich pięciu miesięcy sprzedano aż 45 000 ETH, czyli wartość około 175 mln USD. W maju tego roku rezerwa wynosiła 265 400 ETH, a dziś spadła do 220 350 ETH czyli likwidacja ponad 45 000 jednostek.

W chwili pisania artykułu cena ETH oscylowała wokół 3 867 USD Pomimo negatywnego ruchu cenowego, inwestorzy wykazywali pozytywny sentyment wobec ETH – wolumen obrotu wzrósł w tym czasie o ponad 31%.

Co to oznacza dla rynku i dla Twojego portfela?

Gdy jeden z założycieli sieci decyduje się na tak dużą sprzedaż, pojawiają się dwie skrajne interpretacje:

• z jednej strony może to być rutynowe zarządzanie aktywami (np. sprzedaż części kapitału w celu dywersyfikacji)
• z drugiej – może to być sygnał, że w grze dzieją się zmiany, które inwestorzy powinni brać pod uwagę.

Nie oznacza to automatycznie, że teoria długoterminowa dla Ethereum upada, jednak sygnał ostrzegawczy jest wyraźny.

Choć Ethereum wciąż może być jednym z najlepszych krypto do inwestycji to obecna sytuacja pokazuje, że nawet największe projekty nie są odporne na nagłe zmiany sentymentu i aktywności dużych graczy.

Jak w tym kontekście wypadają nowe kryptowaluty i gdzie warto szukać przewagi?

W obliczu takiego wstrząsu na rynku ETH, uwagę wielu inwestorów przyciągają projekty z niższej kapitałizacji, często określane jako nowe kryptowaluty. Właśnie w tym segmencie może kryć się potencjał, jednak z równie wysokim poziomem ryzyka.

Warto przyjrzeć się projektowi, który może stanowić taką właśnie alternatywę. Jednym z nich jest Snorter Token, stworzony z myślą o detalicznych traderach i memecoinach.

Snorter Token: trading bez wychodzenia z czatu

Snorter Token oraz aplikacja Snorter Bot tworzą środowisko tradingowe osadzone w komunikatorze Telegram. Założenie jest proste. Projekt ma umożliwić użytkownikom szybkie, tanie i intuicyjne poruszanie się w świecie memecoinów bez konieczności korzystania z przełączania między aplikacjami czy przeglądarkami.

Dla tych, którzy poszukują ścieżki poza głównym nurtem ETH, Snorter może stanowić ciekawy komponent portfela.

Co oferuje Snorter Token?

• Integracja z Telegramem – bot działa w czacie, bez potrzeby instalowania dodatkowych aplikacji; łączysz się szybko i wygodnie.
• Ekspresowe płatności i sniping – bot realizuje transakcje w czasie poniżej jednej sekundy, korzystając ze swojej infrastruktury odpornej na MEV i oszustwa typu honeypot.
• Najniższe prowizje na rynku – dla posiadaczy tokena SNORT opłata wynosi tylko 0,85%, standardowo 1,5%.
• Zaawansowane funkcje – kopiowanie ruchów topowych portfeli, dynamiczne zlecenia stop-loss, limitowane zlecenia, a także możliwość podglądu pozycji i zysków za pomocą komendy /portfolio.
• Obsługa wielu blockchainów – start na Solanie, a w planach Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon i Base.
• Systemy bezpieczeństwa – bot automatycznie wykrywa honeypoty i rugpulle z ponad 85% skutecznością.
• Token SNORT – wielołańcuchowy token użytkowy (SPL na Solanie i ERC-20 na Ethereum) z ograniczoną podażą (500 mln tokenów), odblokowujący funkcje premium, staking i przyszłe głosowania DAO.

Dlaczego warto go rozważyć?

W momencie gdy rynek ETH się chwiejny, projekty takie jak Snorter mogą oferować alternatywę, szczególnie jeśli uważasz, że ETH może być dziś obarczony większym ryzykiem niż zwykle.

Trzeba brać jednak pod uwagę, że token SNORT nie jest instrumentem inwestycyjnym ani udziałem w spółce. To narzędzie stworzone dla traderów, którzy chcą wykorzystać przewagę technologiczną w świecie memecoinów.

Ripple’s long-running strategy is to embed its technology across the world’s financial plumbing—piece by piece and across multiple functions—according to Phil and Dom Kwok, the brothers behind the Easy app, in a new appearance on the Paul Barron Show. The founders characterized what they called “the Ripple plan” as a coordinated effort to place XRP Ledger–based infrastructure and the company’s software wherever institutions already operate, rather than trying to disintermediate them.

Ripple Follow’s Meta’s Blueprint

Talking about Ripple’s acquisitions of Metaco, Standard Custody, Hidden Road and Rail, Dom Kwok framed the objective as coverage across brokerage, treasury, and stablecoin rails, arguing that the cumulative effect—rather than any single deal—reveals the intent. “Ripple really wants to have, you know, the XRP ledger and its tentacles really on the whole financial infrastructure that powers the world,” he said.

“So obviously, Hidden Road on the brokerage side, G-Treasury just now on the treasury side. Rail as well on the stablecoin side. And I think, once you start to see all of those different pieces come together, that’s really where you’re going to start to see sort of the power of what they’ve been building over the last many years.”

He added that the goal is ubiquity across touchpoints: “no matter which bit of the financial infrastructure someone is interfacing with, they are ultimately, indirectly, even if they don’t know it, touching, an aspect of Ripple’s tech.”

To illustrate the roll-up logic, Dom pointed to how large tech platforms expand into adjacency through acquisitions and integrations: “A great example is Facebook, which is now obviously called Meta. They bought Instagram, then they bought WhatsApp… these are standalone companies that were then rolled up and actually became much more valuable once they all came together.”

In his view, the analogy fits because end users may not realize they are engaging with a common underlying platform when interacting with seemingly distinct brands—a dynamic he suggested the company is replicating in finance.

‘The Ripple Plan’

Pressed by host Paul Barron on whether the recent moves reflect a coherent long-term strategy or opportunistic deal-making, Phil Kwok emphasized continuity with Ripple’s institutional, incremental approach, while stopping short of revealing anything not already public.

“I don’t want to say anything that’s not, you know, public yet,” he cautioned, before outlining the philosophical through-line: “If you… look at Ripple’s approach, it’s always been different to the traditional sort of… cypherpunk sort of approach.”

He contrasted Bitcoin’s cypherpunk strand with Ripple’s posture of building with incumbents: “The whole ethos behind Ripple and where it came from was, we need to build on what’s come before… We’ve got to work with the existing financial system.” Citing what he described as Chris Larsen’s consistent message, Phil added: “there has never been a big technological shift, which hasn’t built on what’s come before.”

Phil suggested that the company’s decade-long execution has been aimed at interoperability with banks and financial institutions rather than displacement. “It’s been to work with banks rather than to actually try and say, look, we’re going to completely put banks aside,” he said.

What’s @ripple trying to do here? @dom_kwok @kwok_phil @paulbarron explain The Ripple Plan pic.twitter.com/XHh9uXef6r

— Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) October 21, 2025

“We’re going to work together with banking institutions… And so I think that what you’re starting to see right now and what we can talk to publicly is… this strategy really coming into the fore. And you’re starting to see Ripple make big moves to actually capture that and cement what it’s been building over the past decade.”

In Dom’s words, the destination is an environment where, across “the whole financial infrastructure that powers the world,” interacting entities are “indirectly… touching… an aspect of Ripple’s tech.”

At press time, XRP traded at $2.40.

Quick Facts:

• 1️⃣ Bitcoin’s ‘gold standard’ for crypto has built a $2.2T market cap but suffers from network limitations.
• 2️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) provides a Layer 2 solution combining Bitcoin with the SVM.
• 3️⃣ $HYPER could unlock fast Bitcoin payments and expand $BTC integrations.

Bitcoin’s the gold standard of cryptocurrency. It’s the first, the most secure, the most trusted — and it remains the undisputed heavyweight of digital assets. However, despite its strength and influence, Bitcoin has an enduring flaw: it wasn’t designed for the modern internet economy.

Transaction times are slow. Fees spike under load. Scaling to the demands of Web3 payments, DeFi, and micro-transactions has proven nearly impossible without compromising Bitcoin’s core principles of security and decentralization.

That’s the problem Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) sets out to solve – and presale investors are taking notice. The project is nearing a $25M presale, making it one of Uptober’s biggest and most talked-about crypto launches.

Bitcoin’s Speed, Scalability, and Structural Limitations

Despite commanding more than 50% of the total crypto market cap, Bitcoin still processes fewer transactions per second than some 2010-era payment apps.

Bitcoin’s average throughput sits around 7 TPS (transactions per second) — an order of magnitude below what’s needed for mainstream commerce or on-chain finance. For comparison:

• Visa processes 24K TPS on average, surging to 65K when needed.
• Solana regularly handles 1.5K-3K TPS on-chain.
• Even Polygon and Arbitrum, Ethereum Layer-2s, sustain hundreds of TPS.

That’s a problem when Bitcoin’s vision – ‘peer-to-peer electronic cash’ – is being outperformed by its successors in both speed and utility.

The limitations go beyond throughput:

• Congestion: During market surges, Bitcoin’s network fees have spiked above $60 per transaction, pricing out casual users.
• Inflexibility: Smart contracts, NFTs, and DeFi apps are still not natively compatible with Bitcoin.
• Energy and scaling trade-offs: The network’s proof-of-work model ensures security but restricts scalability without secondary solutions.

The challenge lies in overcoming those limitations without sacrificing the benefits of Bitcoin’s original Layer 1 – security, stability, and all the advantages of a $2.2T market cap.

Enter Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – a leading crypto presale with a new approach designed as a natural evolution of Bitcoin’s potential. Bitcoin Hyper’s Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) Hybrid

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) represents a paradigm shift – a canonical Layer-2 bridge that wraps Bitcoin into a high-throughput, low-fee environment built around the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

Broken down, the architecture looks like this:

1. The Canonical Bridge: Secure, Native Bitcoin Integration

Bitcoin Hyper’s Canonical Bridge directly connects to Bitcoin’s base layer. Users deposit Bitcoin into a verified bridge contract, where the asset is locked, and equivalent wrapped $BTC is minted on Hyper’s Layer-2.

These wrapped assets maintain a 1:1 verifiable backing, viewable on-chain.

This creates an instantly liquid, high-speed representation of Bitcoin that can move across Hyper’s network.

2. Solana Virtual Machine: Extreme Speed Meets Bitcoin Liquidity

By building on the SVM, Bitcoin Hyper inherits Solana’s unmatched parallel processing speed and sub-second block times.

Transactions are confirmed in seconds, not minutes, and fees are fractions of what they would be on Bitcoin. Developers can build DeFi, staking, and payment applications that settle in wrapped BTC.

3. Bitcoin DeFi and Payments Unlocked

The architecture enables something Bitcoin has never had at scale: true decentralized finance.

With Bitcoin Hyper, users can:

• Stake BTC for yield through secure Layer-2 contracts.
• Swap BTC across DeFi protocols at Solana-level speed.
• Send micro-transactions or tips for fractions of a cent in real time.
• Integrate payments into web apps, games, or AI agents that rely on instant, low-cost settlement.

In other words, Bitcoin Hyper doesn’t just make Bitcoin faster; it makes Bitcoin useful in new and improved ways.

Bitcoin’s Next Evolution Could Be Its Biggest

If Bitcoin’s base layer is gold – rock-solid, reliable, and a phenomenal store-of-value – Bitcoin Hyper is the highway system that moves it at light speed.

With Bitcoin Hyper, there’s new potential for Bitcoin to be incorporated as a payment solution across the spectrum. Imagine Bitcoin Hyper’s potential to provide a solution for a situation like this:

Hyper’s Layer-2 expansion could trigger one of the most important phases in Bitcoin’s history: the transition from static store-of-value to dynamic, programmable money.

If even a small portion of Bitcoin’s $2.2T market cap starts moving through Hyper’s rails, it would represent one of the largest liquidity shifts in crypto history. Uptober’s Best Presale Nears $25M

Momentum around Bitcoin Hyper continues to build rapidly.

The project’s presale has raised nearly $25M, drawing interest from retail investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin-linked infrastructure plays.

The presale’s tokenomics structure has reinforced investor confidence:

• Fixed supply: 1B $HYPER tokens.
• Presale allocation: 40% for early backers.
• Staking APY: currently 48%.

The tokenomics align incentives across the network: users are rewarded for participating early, while token scarcity increases over time.

It’s one reason why our price prediction shows that Bitcoin Hyper could reach $0.32 by the end of the year, representing a 2332% increase over the current price of $0.013155.

Whales have poured hundreds of thousands into the project, headlined by whale buys of $379K and $274K. Learn how to buy $HYPER to join the fun.

It might sound absurd to talk about Bitcoin ‘rising in the ranks’; it already towers over the market. But that’s exactly what could happen if Bitcoin Hyper succeeds.

If Bitcoin becomes the currency that fuels on-chain economies, not just the reserve asset behind them, its real-world utility and demand could multiply exponentially.

That makes Bitcoin Hyper more than another crypto presale. It’s a critical infrastructure play — a blueprint for Bitcoin’s next decade.

As always, do your own research; this isn’t financial advice.

Despite October being widely considered a bullish month for cryptocurrencies, Ethereum’s price has been experiencing bearish pressure, triggered by a recent market crash. As ETH continues to struggle to regain its upside momentum, Ethereum’s co-founder has reportedly offloaded a massive amount of ETH.

Major Ethereum Sell-Off From Vitalik Buterin

Ethereum’s bearish price action is intensifying, and selling activity at both the retail and institutional levels appears to be increasing simultaneously. Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum, has joined the ongoing wave of ETH selling spree, dumping a significant amount of the altcoin in a single day.

In the X post shared by crypto enthusiast and DeFi researcher OxNobler, Vitalik Buterin dumped over 160,000 ETH, valued at $650 million, on Tuesday alone. Following the significant ETH sell-off, the ETH founder has sent shockwaves through the cryptocurrency market.

Typically, when this kind of massive dump is carried out, it raises widespread speculation about the motive behind the move and the possible impact on ETH’s price trajectory. Given the general market volatility and the shaky investor attitude, this sudden sell-off comes at a critical moment for the leading network.

Whether this move represents a strategic portfolio management, market caution, or a signal of shifting sentiment within Ethereum’s leadership circle remains the bone of contention. In the meantime, the huge sell-off adds a new layer of intrigue to the market dynamics of ETH.

A Steady Decrease In Strategic ETH Reserve

The ongoing significant selling spree is also reflected by the steady decrease in the Ethereum Foundation’s strategic ETH reserve. This persistent drop in its strategic ETH reserve signals a crucial shift in how the organization handles its assets and treasury strategy.

On Tuesday, on-chain data revealed that the Foundation sold 2,400 ETH worth approximately $9.3 million, which represents about 0.18% of the altcoin’s total supply. This latest sell-off is one of many that have been carried out in the past 5 months.

According to the report from Crypto Patel, the Foundation has sold a whopping 45,000 ETH, valued at $175 million, within the time frame. The crypto community is debating whether the Foundation’s steady outflows from its wallets are due to larger market positioning, ecosystem reinvestments, or operational finance requirements.

As of May this year, the strategic ETH reserve of the Foundation had a total of 265,400 ETH. Fast forward to today, the reserve has fallen to 220,350 ETH, dumping over 45,000 ETH. While CT was yelling “ETH to the $10,000,” the Foundation embarked on a selling spree. “They know something we don’t? Or just operational expenses?, Crypto Patel questioned.

At the time of writing, the price of ETH was trading at $3,867, demonstrating a 0.46% in the last 24 hours. Despite the bearish action, investors are exhibiting positive sentiment in ETH, as its trading volume has risen by more than 31% within the same period.

Bitcoin domina ancora il mercato crypto, con ETF spot che attraggono miliardi e istituzioni che accumulano BTC come mai prima. Tuttavia, la rete soffre di problemi strutturali che ne limitano l’utilizzo quotidiano: transazioni lente, commissioni elevate e scalabilità ridotta.

Mentre Bitcoin continua a essere lo “store of value” più sicuro, Solana, Ethereum e BNB Chain avanzano a ritmo vertiginoso, alimentando DeFi, NFT e meme coin a velocità da record. Ora, però, qualcosa sta cambiando. Con 24,4 milioni di dollari raccolti in presale, Bitcoin Hyper si presenta come la soluzione che potrebbe finalmente colmare il divario tecnologico.

Esplora Bitcoin Hyper Bitcoin e la Crisi di Scalabilità

Il problema di Bitcoin è ben noto: la rete gestisce circa 2,8 transazioni al secondo, con una capacità teorica massima di 7 TPS. Ogni blocco richiede fino a 15 minuti per la conferma e circa un’ora per la finalità completa.

In confronto, Solana elabora oltre 800 TPS, con tempi di blocco di 0,4 secondi e finalità in 12,8 secondi. Anche BNB Chain e Base superano facilmente le 100 transazioni al secondo. Il risultato? Bitcoin appare come il “dial-up” del web3 rispetto alle connessioni in fibra dei concorrenti.

(Fonte: Chainspect)

L’impatto è pratico: lentezza e costi spingono sviluppatori e trader verso reti più veloci. Solana domina i meme token, Ethereum guida la DeFi e Base alimenta le dApp quotidiane. Per evolversi, Bitcoin ha bisogno di un livello di esecuzione che conservi la sicurezza ma offra performance moderne.

Bitcoin Hyper Porta la Velocità di Solana su Bitcoin

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) nasce proprio per questo. È una Layer-2 trustless basata sulla Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) che consente transazioni quasi istantanee e commissioni prossime allo zero, mantenendo intatta la sicurezza di Bitcoin.

Il funzionamento si basa su un sistema a quattro fasi:

1. Bridge In – L’utente deposita BTC, convalidato on-chain tramite smart contract.
2. Esecuzione Layer-2 – I BTC vengono replicati 1:1 su Hyper per staking e trading immediati.
3. Settlement – Le transazioni vengono raggruppate e validate tramite zero-knowledge proofs, poi inviate alla mainnet Bitcoin.
4. Bridge Out – Il ritiro riporta i fondi sulla rete principale in modo verificabile e senza custodia.

Non si tratta di un wrapped token o di una sidechain centralizzata. Bitcoin Hyper utilizza crit­tografia ZK per mantenere integrità e trasparenza, ma con la velocità di Solana. In prospettiva, pagare un caffè o accedere alla DeFi con BTC potrebbe diventare finalmente possibile.

La Presale di Bitcoin Hyper Supera $24.4M: Gli Investitori Ci Credono

La prevendita di Bitcoin Hyper ha già raggiunto 24,4 milioni di dollari, segno di forte interesse istituzionale e retail. Il token $HYPER è attualmente valutato $0.013145, e le previsioni puntano a un potenziale +1.000% (11x) entro la fine dell’anno.

Gli staking yield fino al 48% offrono ai primi investitori ricompense passive in attesa del TGE. Ma il vero punto di forza sta nel suo design: un layer-2 verificabile e zero-knowledge che sincronizza costantemente con Bitcoin, senza rinunciare alla sicurezza.

Bitcoin fornisce la fiducia e la solidità, mentre Hyper introduce velocità e scalabilità, creando un ecosistema complementare. È per questo che molti analisti vedono in $HYPER la prossima crypto esplosiva del 2025, capace di riportare Bitcoin al centro dell’innovazione Web3.

Conclusione: Bitcoin Hyper Potrebbe Essere la Chiave per il “Nuovo Bitcoin”

Bitcoin ha sempre avuto potenza, ma non agilità. Con Bitcoin Hyper, per la prima volta, potrebbe ottenere entrambe. Se il progetto manterrà le promesse di una Layer-2 trustless e ultra-veloce, il mercato potrebbe trovarsi davanti alla rivoluzione che “rende Bitcoin grande di nuovo” — non solo come riserva di valore, ma come blockchain pienamente utilizzabile.

• 딥시크는 10월 10일 190억 달러 규모의 레버리지 포지션 청산으로 인한 급락에도 불구하고 비트코인이 15만 달러까지 상승할 것으로 전망한다고 발표했다.
• TD 코웬 애널리스트들이 시장 폭락 이후 비트코인의 회복력을 근거로 12월까지 14만1천 달러 가격대에 도달할 것으로 전망한다고 밝혔다.
• 블룸버그 선임 원자재 전략가 마이크 맥글론은 비트코인의 회복력이 주식시장을니다 구할 수 있다며 낙관론을 공유한다고 밝혔다.
• 비트코인이 상승 모멘텀을 구축하는 가운데 비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)의 2,450만 달러 이상 규모 사전 판매가 이 코인을 주요 매수 대상 암호화폐 중 하나로 자리매김하고 있다.

딥시크가 2025년 비트코인에 대한 낙관적인 가격 전망을 발표하며, 연말을 향해 강력한 회복세를 보일 것으로 예상한다고 밝혔다.

딥시크는 10월 10일 시장 폭락 이후 비트코인이 보여준 회복력을 고려할 때 15만 달러 가격대가 충분히 실현 가능하다고 보고 있다.

트럼프가 트루스 소셜에 중국 상품에 대한 100% 관세 부과를 발표한 게시물을 올리면서 촉발된 최근 시장 급락으로 24시간 남짓한 시간 동안 190억 달러 이상의 레버리지 포지션이 소멸되고 시가총액 4500억 달러가 증발했다.

단기간의 ‘암호화폐 대재앙’으로 비트코인이 불과 몇 시간 만에 5%, 이틀 동안 10% 하락하며 12만1천 달러에서 10만9천 달러로 급락했다. 비트코인은 며칠 후 11만5천 달러선을 넘어서는 모습을 보였으나, 이후 더욱 가파르게 하락하며 이번에는 10만5천 달러 아래로 떨어졌다.

그 이후 비트코인은 다시 수면 위로 오르기 위해 고군분투하고 있지만 번번이 실패하고 있다.

이런 상황에도 불구하고 딥시크는 비트코인이 돌파 직전에 있다고 보고 있으며, 이로 인해 연말까지 BTC가 15만 달러를 넘어설 수 있을 것으로 전망하고 있다.

동시에 낙관적인 개인 투자자들이 비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)의 2,450만 달러 규모 사전 판매에 몰리고 있다. 이 프로젝트는 솔라나 가상 머신 통합을 기반으로 한 비트코인용 레이어 2를 구축하고 있다.

일부에서는 이러한 생태계 업그레이드가 새로운 비트코인 열풍을 불러일으킬 수 있다고 보고 있으며, 특히 2025년 4분기나 2026년 1분기 네트워크 배포 이후 그 효과가 나타날 것으로 전망하고 있다.

비트코인이 2025년 말까지 15만 달러에 도달할 수 있을까?

2025년 15만 달러라는 목표가 비현실적으로 보이지만, 여러 분석가와 전문가들이 딥시크의 전망과 크게 다르지 않은 추정치를 제시하고 있다.

TD 코웬 애널리스트들의 최근 보고서는 이 목표가 빗나가지 않을 수 있다고 시사한다. 더 블록의 최근 게시물에서 다룬 이 보고서는 최근 폭락 상황에서 비트코인이 보인 회복력을 언급하며 다음과 같이 밝혔다:

신뢰도가 낮은 토큰들이 큰 타격을 받은 반면, 비트코인과 이더리움은 상당히 선방한 것으로 평가된다. 예를 들어 비트코인은 한때 15% 하락한 저점을 기록했지만 장 마감 시에는 8% 하락에 그쳤다. —TD 코웬

이들의 관점에 따르면 12월까지 14만1천 달러 가격대가 실현 가능하다고 본다. 특히 현재 일본까지 확산되고 있는 채택 증가 흐름을 고려할 때 더욱 그렇다. 일본 금융청은 이미 은행들이 암호화폐 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 허용하는 방안을 검토하고 있다. 이 서비스가 승인될 경우 약 800만 개 계좌가 비트코인과 기타 디지털 자산에 노출될 전망이다.

블룸버그 전략가 마이크 맥글론 역시 최근 급락 상황에서 보인 비트코인의 회복력에 주목하며, 이 자산의 통합 과정이 향후 주식시장 하락을 방지할 수 있다고 밝혔다.

비트코인의 역사적 월별 수익률 역시 다가오는 강세장 가능성을 뒷받침하며, 이는 본래 10월에 이미 시작되었어야 할 상황이었다.

코인글래스 데이터에 따르면, 비트코인은 2013년 이후 10월에 단 두 차례만 하락세를 보였으며, 2025년이 세 번째가 된다. 11월은 지난 2년간 상승세를 기록했고, 12월은 2024년에 하락했지만 전년도에는 12.18% 상승했다.

이 데이터에 따르면 비트코인이 예상 일정보다 뒤처져 있어 올해 11월과 12월 내내 강세장을 예고할 가능성이 있다.

비트코인 하이퍼의 모멘텀과 사전 판매 열기를 고려하면 확률은 더욱 높아지며, 계획대로 2025년 4분기에 비트코인 레이어 2 출시가 시작될 경우 더욱 긍정적인 소식이 될 수 있다.

비트코인 하이퍼가 비트코인을 변화시킬 수 있는 방법

비트코인 하이퍼($HYPER)는 레이어 2 솔루션을 개발 중인 새로운 토큰이다. 이 새로운 체인은 메인 네트워크에서 초당 7건의 거래 처리 한계를 우회해 $BTC 거래를 더 빠르고 저렴하며 확장 가능하게 만들겠다고 약속하고 있다.

제한된 TPS로 인해 비트코인은 수수료 기반 우선순위 시스템을 운영하고 있으며, 이 시스템은 높은 수수료를 지불한 대규모 거래를 우선 처리하는 반면 소액 거래는 장시간 대기 상태에 둔다. 이로 인해 대기열이 발생하여 확인 시간이 수 시간까지 늘어나는 경우가 있다.

이는 비트코인이 블록체인 속도 기준으로 23위에 머물고 있는 반면, 솔라나가 769 실시간 TPS 출력으로 2위를 차지하는 이유를 설명한다.

이러한 병목 현상을 해결하기 위해 하이퍼는 솔라나 가상 머신(SVM)과 표준 브리지 같은 도구를 도입한다.

According to a recent report by Roll Call, US Senator Cynthia Lummis, an advocate for digital assets in Congress, is delaying the upcoming crypto market structure bill as the Senator is reluctant to revisit a provision from the recently passed GENIUS Act, which prohibits stablecoin issuers from offering interest payments.

Lawmakers Split Over Crypto Interest Provisions

Senator Lummis is said to be resisting pressures from both Republicans and Democrats to change the interest language in the stablecoin bill. The banking industry argues that this provision creates a loophole that allows crypto exchanges to offer rewards, effectively enabling them to pay interest.

Lummis shared her perspective with reporters, stating, “I’m of the opinion that we should leave the stablecoin bill alone. We’ve got enough problems with market structure.” In response, the crypto industry has launched a campaign to maintain the existing stablecoin rewards policy. 

Opponents of crypto interest are advocating for the rewards issue to be addressed in the new market structure legislation currently in development. This bill aims to establish rules for the operation and oversight of digital asset markets.

Senator Bill Hagerty, a Republican from Tennessee and sponsor of the stablecoin bill, acknowledged the complexity surrounding the question of crypto interest, stating, “This is something that’s going to require a lot more attention from my colleagues to address. Everything is up in the air.”

Crypto And Banking Lobbies Clash

Last month, Senate Banking Republicans updated a draft of the market structure bill, which Chairman Tim Scott hoped to advance by the end of September. 

However, this deadline was missed due to various obstacles, including the conflict between banking and crypto lobbies regarding stablecoin interest and the bill’s approach to decentralized finance (DeFi).

A group of crypto-friendly Senate Democrats recently proposed amendments to the bill that were rejected by Republicans and the crypto industry. These Democrats want the legislation to uphold the intent of prohibiting interest or yield paid by stablecoin issuers, whether directly or indirectly through affiliates.

Chairman Scott appears to be prioritizing the concerns of Democrats over those of Republicans regarding crypto exchange rewards. He has postponed a markup of the bill to allow Democrats more time to engage with the legislative text, as noted by his spokesperson Jeff Naft. 

Lawmakers are hesitant to predict when the committee might reach a consensus for a markup. “We’re trying to get a date for a markup,” Lummis remarked. When asked when that might be, she replied, “When we can agree on a date for a markup.”

Adding to the complexity of advancing the bill is the looming partial government shutdown. Democrats have indicated that they prefer to finalize the base text of the bill before proceeding to a markup.

Over 320,000 Letters Sent To Senate Offices 

Crypto advocates are pushing for swift action on market structure legislation this year. Mason Lynaugh, community director for Stand with Crypto, stated: 

The Senate must act quickly and deliberately to pass market structure legislation. Congress has the opportunity to position America as a global leader in the crypto industry, achievable only through effective market structure legislation. 

The group reported sending over 320,000 letters from more than 160,000 participants to Senate offices in recent weeks, urging lawmakers to reject a new anti-consumer initiative from the banking industry aimed at eliminating stablecoin rewards.

Dogecoin is still facing a lot of bearish pressure amid the market decline, but with the price still fighting to hold the $0.2 support level, there is still the possibility of a bounce from here. There is also the fact that the meme coin seems to be following a trend that has been seen in the last two bull cycles, suggesting that it could see a similar bounce. If this happens, then the Dogecoin price could be looking at a bounce that could send it to brand-new all-time highs.

Why Dogecoin Price Could See An 800% Rally

Bitcoinsensus posted an interesting Dogecoin price crash, comparing the current performance to the previous cycle performances. This showed the formation of bullish and bearish fractals that had been formed over the last two years, leading to a similar outcome in price.

The first of these fractals had appeared between 2023 and 2024, with the initial surge leading to a 300% price increase. Once the top was established, there was a steady correction that led the altcoin to lose almost all of its gains. However, this simply led into the formation of the next fractal.

The next time the fractal appeared was toward the end of 2024, and by the time that the rally was done, the Dogecoin price had risen by 500%, leading to its highest levels since 2021. Then, as before, the price correction led to a loss of most, but not all of its gains, suggesting the formation of another bullish fractal is about to follow.

One interesting thing about this fractal formation over time, though, is the fact that there has been a steady acceleration of gains each time. Following the move from 300% to 500%, the analyst believes that the next breakout from this fractal would lead to an 800% price increase.

With the Dogecoin price looking to replicate this cycle breakout, it could be on track to create a new all-time high. An 800% increase would mean eventually beating the coveted $1 level, and the top would be somewhere around the $1.4 level before topping out.

However, the Dogecoin price is still highly dependent on the performance of the Bitcoin price and the general crypto market. In this case, the Bitcoin price would have to continue to rally, because another crash could send the Dogecoin price spiraling once more along with the altcoin market, and invalidating the bullish thesis.

Quick Facts:

1⃣ Coinbase has acquired Echo, signaling its intent to expand into early-stage crypto fundraising and token launch infrastructure.

2⃣ This could mark the revival of ICOs, with new-age launchpads like Sonar, Legion, Buidlpad, and Kaito driving renewed market interest.

3⃣ Investors are turning their attention to high-upside opportunities like $MAXI, $BEST, and $M, which could be among the next cryptos to explode.

‘I certainly didn’t think Echo would be sold to Coinbase, but here we are: Today Coinbase bought Echo for about $375 million,’ Echo Founder Cobie wrote on X.

For context, Echo is a blockchain-based fundraising and investment platform that allows early-stage cryptocurrency projects and startups to raise capital directly from their communities.

Since its launch in April 2024, Echo has raised around $51M in funding.

In fact, the first project to ever fundraise with Echo was Ethena – a synthetic dollar protocol powering USDE, one of the fastest-growing yield-bearing stablecoins.

As for why Coinbase acquired Echo, the company’s goal is to integrate Echo’s tools, including the popular Sonar – software that enables founders to self-host public sales of their tokens on their own terms and on a blockchain of their choice, such as HyperLiquid, Base, Solana, or Cardano.

Ultimately, Coinbase aims to become a one-stop crypto solution, covering every stage of a project’s lifecycle, right from fundraising (via Echo) to stuff it already excels at, like listing, trading, custody, and beyond.

While it’s easy to shrug off the Coinbase-Echo collaboration as a one-off deal, a Tiger Research report suggests it could mark the resurgence of initial coin offerings (ICOs).

According to the report, ‘Public sales are re-emerging in new forms since the 2017 ICO boom. Various launchpads such as Legion, Buidlpad, Sonar, and Kaito are leading market trends.’

The bottom line is that while the short-term hype around these public launchpads may eventually fade, the overall concept is expected to ride the wave and stay relevant because of what it offers – a tool for projects to secure early users and liquidity.

Plus, we shouldn’t forget what Zak Folkman, co-founder of Donald Trump’s World Liberty Financial, said back in February of this year.

During a panel discussion with Tron founder Justin Sun, Zak said, ‘We want to make ICOs great again,’ citing that crypto is all about giving everyone access to the same information and the same opportunities.

All in all, with yet another major crypto segment – ICOs – making a strong push for a comeback, there’s no better time to position yourself early and stack your portfolio with promising low-cap gems, including presales.

Here are our top three picks for the next crypto to explode.

1. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – New Doge-Themed Meme Coin Gunning for Market Domination

Maxi Doge ($MAXI) aims to flip the OG Dogecoin and become the biggest meme coin on the planet.

Is this goal audacious? Absolutely. But it’s exactly this kind of degen energy that’s powering $MAXI to become one of the best crypto presales of October 2025.

Investors are lining up to back Maxi Doge in its fight against its far-distant cousin, who hogged all the limelight and left Maxi all by himself during their childhood days.

This fueled Maxi to grow up and become everything Dogecoin is not. Unlike Dogecoin’s cute demeanor and fragile muscles, Maxi Doge is obsessed with the gym.

He’s bulked up, drinks protein shakes and caffeine shots every other hour, and the redness in his eyes isn’t just from anger and hatred – it’s also from staring at crypto charts all day and night, crafting the perfect plan to strangle Dogecoin.

Speaking of Maxi’s master plan, the developers have allocated a whopping 40% of the total token supply for marketing.

This includes high-ticket influencer collaborations, social media blitzes, and PR campaigns, all aimed at spreading the word about Maxi Doge both inside and outside the crypto landscape.

Even better, $MAXI doesn’t want to stop at just vanilla CEX and DEX listings.

It also aims for listings on futures platforms, ultimately positioning itself as the ultimate launchpad for meme coin day traders who want to take on high-leverage bets and chase whale-like returns.

Take a look at our step-by-step guide on how to buy $MAXI for just $0.000264.

According to our Maxi Doge price prediction, the token could hit a high of $0.0024 by the end of this year, meaning a $100 investment today could turn into $900 in just two to three months.

Join the fiercest dog meme coin – grab your $MAXI tokens today.

2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Top Crypto Wallet Combining Ease of Use & Security

Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is well-positioned to become the next 1000x crypto. That’s because it powers Best Wallet – a class-leading free crypto wallet that’s designed with both security and ease of use in mind.

First things first, since it’s non-custodial, Best Wallet gives you total control over your private keys, meaning no one except you can access your wallet.

On top of that, it protects you from common crypto dangers such as hacks, scams, and phishing websites. Plus, you’ll enjoy state-of-the-art data encryption and excellent two-factor authentication, including biometric login.

That said, our favorite feature of Best Wallet is its ‘Upcoming Tokens’ section, which is hands down the pinnacle of ease of use in the crypto wallet space.

While other wallets ask you to visit external presale websites, connect your wallet there, and then return to authorize the transaction, Best Wallet makes sure you can buy the best presales directly within the app.

The ‘Upcoming Tokens’ section lists all the new cryptocurrency projects, and you don’t have to worry about scams, as every single coin is vetted by the internal Best Wallet team before being made available for purchase.

Currently in presale, Best Wallet Token has already raised over $16.6M in funding as it eyes capturing 40% of the non-custodial crypto market by 2027.

One $BEST is currently priced at just $0.025825, but it has the potential to soar 2,300% to reach $0.62 by the end of 2026 – according to our $BEST price prediction.

What’s more, buying $BEST will also give you access to a myriad of exclusive features, including:

• Reduced transaction fees
• Early access to new coins in presale
• Voting rights
• Staking rewards currently yielding 79%

Maximize your gains – buy $BEST while it’s still in presale.

3. MemeCore ($M) – Unique Crypto Project Transforming Meme Coins

What if there were a unique Layer 1 blockchain aiming to transform meme coins from purely speculative, fun-loving assets into robust cultural and economic forces?

Surely, that would make it one of the best cryptos to buy right now. Well, that’s exactly what MemeCore ($M) offers.

With the $M token serving as its backbone, MemeCore introduces a never-before-seen Proof-of-Meme (PoM) consensus mechanism that rewards every single contribution from traders, stakers, and even validators.

It drives home the fact that every bit of interaction contributes to the long-term growth of a thriving meme coin economy.

On the charts, MemeCore has emerged as one of the very few altcoins that showed no noticeable impact from October 10’s liquidation event.

Right now, the token is up nearly 10% in the last 7 days and is on the verge of breaking out from a descending triangle pattern.

A confirmed breakout could catapult the token to around the $3.50 mark, representing a chunky 60% gain from current price levels.

Interested? Buy $M on BingX or any of the other crypto exchanges.

Recap: With ICOs potentially making a comeback, now’s the perfect time to load up on low-priced, high-potential tokens like Maxi Doge ($MAXI), Best Wallet Token ($BEST), and MemeCore ($M).

Disclaimer: Kindly do your own research before investing. The crypto market is highly volatile, and none of the above information is financial advice.

Quick Facts:

1️⃣ Deepseek predicts a $150K Bitcoin high, despite the brutal crash following the $19B wipeout in leveraged positions on October 10.

2️⃣ TD Cowen analysts invoke Bitcoin’s resilience following the market crash to predict a price point of $141K by December.

3️⃣ Mike McGlone, Bloomberg Senior Commodity Strategist, shares the optimism, saying that Bitcoin’s resilience could save the stock market.

4️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)’s $24.5M+ presale positions it as one of the top cryptos to buy as $BTC builds momentum.

Deepseek issues an optimistic price prediction for 2025’s Bitcoin, suggesting a strong recovery towards the end of the year.

A price point of $150K is more than feasible in Deepseek’s view, considering Bitcoin’s resilience following the market crash on October 10.

The recent market meltdown, triggered by Trump’s Truth Social post announcing 100% tariffs on China’s goods, erased over $19B in leveraged positions and shaved $450B in market cap in just over 24 hours.

The short-lived ‘cryptopocalypse’ caused Bitcoin to lose 5% in mere hours and 10% over the course of two days, crashing from $121K to $109K. $BTC managed to pop its head above the $115K mark several days after, but contracted again even more aggressively, this time below $105K.

Since then, Bitcoin’s been struggling, and failing, to rise above the sea level again.

Despite this, Deepseek believes Bitcoin is on the verge of a breakout, which could take $BTC above the $150K mark by the end of the year.

At the same time, bullish retail investors are flocking to Bitcoin Hyper’s ($HYPER)‘s $24.5M+ presale. The project is building a Layer 2 for Bitcoin, powered by a Solana Virtual Machine integration.

Some believe this ecosystem upgrade could spark a new wave of $BTC enthusiasm, especially once the network’s deployment in Q4 2025/Q1 2026.

Could Bitcoin Reach $150K by the End of 2025?

While $150K seems like an unrealistic price target in 2025, several analysts and experts have given estimates not far from Deepseek’s forecast.

TD Cowen analysts’ recent report suggest this target may not be off the mark. Covered in a recent post by The Block, the report invoked Bitcoin’s resilience in the face of the recent crash, saying that:

While less-reputable tokens were decimated, Bitcoin and Ethereum held up well enough, in our estimation. Bitcoin for example briefly reached a trough of down 15% only to close down just 8% on the day.

—TD Cowen

In their view, a $141K price point is feasible by December, especially given the rising adoption wave now reaching Japan, where the Financial Services Agency is already considering to allow banks to offer crypto services. If approved, these services would expose almost 8M accounts to Bitcoin and other digital assets.

Bloomberg strategist Mike McGlone also took notice of Bitcoin’s resilience in the face of the recent wipeout, stating that the asset’s consolidation could prevent future stock market downturns.

Bitcoin’s historical monthly returns also support the idea of a coming bull run, which should’ve already happened in October.

As Coinglass data shows, Bitcoin’s only had two red Octobers since 2013, with 2025 marking the third. November’s been in the green over the last two years as well, while December was red in 2024, but 12.18% in the green the year prior.

Based on this data, Bitcoin is behind the schedule, which may signal a bull run throughout November and December this year.

The odds are even higher if we account for Bitcoin Hyper‘s momentum and presale hype, which could mean more bullish news if the Bitcoin layer 2 rollout starts in Q4 2025 as planned.

How Bitcoin Hyper Could Transform Bitcoin

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is a new token with a developing Layer 2 solution. This new chain promises to make $BTC trading faster, cheaper, and more scalable by bypassing Bitcoin’s performance cap of seven transactions per second (TPS) on the main network.

The limited TPS is responsible for Bitcoin’s fee-based priority system, which puts larger transactions with higher fees first, while keeping micro-transactions on hold for extended periods. This results in queues that sometimes increases confirmation times to hours.

This explains why Bitcoin ranks 23rd by blockchain speed, while Solana is second with a 769 real-time TPS output.

To solve this bottleneck, Hyper brings in tools like the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) and a canonical bridge.

With these, Hyper mints a 1:1 wrapped $BTC equivalent ready to use on the new network, which is powered by smart contracts and DeFi protocols with near-instant finality.

This is how Hyper promises to remove the fee-based priority system and make the Bitcoin network faster and infinitely more scalable.

And because Bitcoin remains the settlement layer, DeFi enthusiasts won’t have to compromise on $BTC’s security.

Check Hyper’s project details on the official site.

$HYPER’s Token Presale Surpassed 24.5M

Bitcoin Hyper’s presale is now at $24.53M, but it’s growing fast and pulling in huge whale buys, some up to $379.9K.

The token’s pre-market momentum seemed unaffected by the recent crypto crash, which solidifies Hyper as a promising project with clear utility and potential, making it one of the best crypto to buy in 2025.

Given the project’s impressive tech, long-term goals, and closeness to Bitcoin, our price prediction for $HYPER puts the token at $0.2 next year — a 1420% potential jump from today’s presale price of $0.013155.

With a projected blockchain rollout date between Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, and the token listing planned for Q4 2025/Q1 2026, $HYPER could be the next altcoin in line for a breakout as $BTC climbs the charts.

This isn’t financial advice. Crypto is a volatile market and early stage projects have no success guarantees. Always do your own research.

Could Best Wallet Token be the Next 1000x Crypto as Retail Integration Grows?

October 22, 2025 • 11:00 UTC

Retail checkout systems could accelerate the adoption of crypto payments among consumers, according to a report by CryptoSlate.

Walmart is perfectly positioned to make this happen through its partnership with Zero Hash. It will be up to Walmart, though, which solutions it will enable, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum trading and on-chain deposits and withdrawals.

Meanwhile, Best Wallet Token ($BEST) is also taking giant steps to further increase consumer crypto adoption through its user-friendly crypto wallet.

The Best Wallet app is available for both iOS and Android devices and offers a familiar user interface that makes it extremely easy to use.

Aside from storing crypto, it also lets you buy and swap digital assets, and even buy the latest cryptocurrencies via its Token Launchpad.

With over $16.6M raised to date, the Best Wallet Token presale is already shaping up to be the next 1000x crypto.

XRP Outperforms Major Altcoins with 3% Spike: What’s the Next 1000x Crypto?

October 22, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Yesterday, XRP touched $2.5 again, surpassing many major altcoins and scoring a 3% spike. The hope for new XRP ETF announcements this week is a likely reason for this rally.

But the easing geopolitical situation and better-than-expected US inflation data also played a role.

Traders took on a more risk-on approach, which bolstered the community sentiment and XRP’s price performance – a session high of $2.56 on Monday.

Even now, the 24-hour trading volume is up by 7% to $4.99B. This shows there’s still bullish potential in XRP’s market.

Retail traders are once again looking to more promising opportunities and the next 1000x cryptos. Crypto presales like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and Snorter Token ($SNORT) show significant potential with their utility-based initiatives.

$HYPER is building the next big Layer-2 for Bitcoin, bringing dApps and smart contracts to the chain, while $SNORT plans to launch the cheapest and fastest Solana trading bot.

Read more about Bitcoin Hyper’s plans for 2025 and beyond.

Here’s a comprehensive guide on Snorter Token.

As Tether Crosses 500M Users, $BEST Emerges as the Next 1000x Crypto

October 22, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

On October 21st, Tether’s ($USDT) CEO Paolo Ardano posted on X about the stablecoin powerhouse hitting 500M verified users. While Circle’s user base is at 87M, Tether is only 58% ahead of USDC by market cap ($182B).

The difference doesn’t add up because most $USDC holders are large institutions and corporates with average balances of $852 as opposed to USDT’s average balance of only $364 per user.

With the global stablecoin market nearing $316B, banks like JPMorgan and Citibank are also launching their own dollar-pegged coins, threatening $USDT’s dominance.

That said, CEO Paolo Ardoino remains confident in his recent X post, quoting ‘Programmable money is the ultimate social network […],’ hinting at Tether’s broader vision to evolve into a financial infrastructure layer merging payments, DeFi, and social utility.

One presale contender mirroring USDT’s stability and structure in a highly volatile and hype-driven crypto space is Best Wallet Token ($BEST), the native asset of Best Wallet ecosystem.

Data shows the Bitcoin Futures Open Interest has witnessed a massive plunge recently, flushing the excess of leverage in the sector.

Bitcoin Futures Open Interest Has Seen A Reset

As explained by on-chain analytics firm Glassnode in an X post, the Bitcoin Futures Open Interest has gone through a sharp decline. This metric measures the total amount of perpetual futures positions related to the cryptocurrency that are currently open on all centralized derivatives exchanges.

When the value of this indicator rises, it means the investors are opening up fresh positions related to the asset. Generally, the overall leverage in the sector goes up whenever this trend develops, so a rise in the Open Interest can lead to more volatility for BTC.

On the other hand, the metric going down implies holders are either closing positions of their own volition or getting forcibly liquidated by their platform. Since  a washout of leverage accompanies it, such a trend can result in calmer price action for the coin.

Now, here is the chart shared by Glassnode that shows the trend in the Bitcoin Futures Open Interest over the last couple of years:

As is visible in the above graph, the Bitcoin Futures Open Interest shot up to an extreme level when the cryptocurrency’s price set its all-time high (ATH) above $126,000.

As mentioned before, an increase in the indicator can make the asset more volatile. This happens because the risk of a squeeze taking place rises as leverage piles up in the market.

A squeeze is an event where a sharp swing in the price triggers a mass amount of liquidations. These liquidations feed back into the move, elongating its length, and unleashing a further cascade of liquidations.

Such an event followed Bitcoin’s ATH and led to a rapid decline in the Open Interest as positions were flushed out. More liquidation events have followed since as BTC has continued to be volatile, but with the metric now standing around 30% down from its peak, perhaps enough excess leverage may have been washed out.

Glassnode has also pointed out that the Funding Rate, a measure of the amount of periodic fee that futures market traders are exchanging between each other, is also near neutral right now.

A neutral value in this metric indicates that no side in the market, whether long or short, is dominant at the moment. Based on this and the trend in the Open Interest, the analytics firm has noted, “the market is far less vulnerable to another liquidation cascade.”

It now remains to be seen whether the decline in the Open Interest will prove enough to avoid another squeeze, or if more chaos is yet to come in the derivatives market.

BTC Price

Bitcoin saw a sharp surge toward $114,000 earlier in the day, but the coin’s price has since witnessed a retrace again as it’s now back at $110,800.

US-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase (COIN) announced on Tuesday its acquisition of the crypto platform Echo in a deal valued at nearly $375 million, aimed primarily to enhance the exchange’s fundraising capabilities.

Echo’s Sonar To Enable Direct Fundraising

Initially, Coinbase plans to utilize Echo’s Sonar platform to facilitate crypto token sales. However, the company has future intentions to broaden its support to include tokenized securities and real-world assets (RWAs), leveraging Echo’s infrastructure.

Echo was co-founded by Jordan Fish, a dubbed crypto “OG” in the crypto trading community known by his pseudonym “Cobie.” Since its inception two years ago, the platform has successfully assisted crypto projects in raising over $200 million.

According to Coinbase’s announcement, many project founders face challenges in capital fundraising, leaving individual investors without opportunities to participate in private token sales. 

Echo’s acquisition is aimed at addressing this gap by enabling projects to raise funds directly from their communities, either through private sales or by self-hosting public token sales via Sonar.

What Coinbase Gains From Acquiring Echo

For builders, this means easier access to capital and community-centric fundraising tools like Echo for private investment groups, as well as Sonar for self-hosted public token sales. 

For investors, the exchange said it opens doors to new and differentiated opportunities that were previously inaccessible, either through the Echo platform or direct offerings via Sonar. 

The initiative is poised to contribute to a more efficient, transparent, and globally accessible capital market, driving innovation and growth within the on-chain economy.

The pace of new deals in the digital assets sector has accelerated this year, buoyed by a crypto-friendly Trump administration that has significantly encouraged companies to expand operations in the US. 

Just last week, cryptocurrency exchange Kraken announced a $100 million deal for the futures exchange Small Exchange, paving the way to launch a fully US-based derivatives suite. 

Additionally, in May, Coinbase secured a $2.9 billion deal for the crypto options provider Deribit, filling a gap in its derivatives portfolio and bolstering its international presence.

Following a challenging period for cryptocurrency prices, the exchange’s stock, which trades under the ticker symbol COIN on the Nasdaq, has also taken a notable hit. It is currently valued at $339.43 per share, which represents a nearly 5% decline over the past 24 hours. 

However, Coinbase’s stock has seen major gains of 74% and 31% in the six-month and year-to-date time frames, respectively, resulting in one of the crypto stocks that has benefited the most from this cycle’s bull run.

Ethereum (ETH) treasury firm SharpLink Gaming has resumed purchasing ETH. The firm made its first ETH purchase since August 2025, acquiring another 19,271 ETH at an average purchase price of $3,892 per ETH.

SharpLink Increases Ethereum Holdings To $3.5 Billion

Minneapolis-based SharpLink Gaming today announced that it had increased its total ETH holdings by 19,271 ETH. The firm’s total ETH holdings now stand at 859,853 ETH, valued at almost $3.5 billion.

The company disclosed that it raised $76.5 million in gross proceeds last week, excluding placement agent fees and other related expenses. These proceeds were used to finance the latest ETH purchase. Commenting, Joseph Chalom, co-founder of SharpLink Gaming, said:

Our top priority remains creating value for shareholders through disciplined execution and a relentless focus on accretive ETH accumulation. The capital raise completed last week was executed at a premium to NAV. Shortly thereafter, we took advantage of attractive market conditions to acquire ETH at prices lower than when we raised the capital. This sequence was immediately accretive to shareholders and showcases the precision of our strategy.

The Nasdaq-listed firm also shared that its total ETH staking rewards had increased to 5,671. To recall, SharpLink Gaming had started its ETH-focused corporate treasury strategy in June 2025.

The company also reported a 100% increase in Etheruem Concentration. The metric surged to 4.0, up 100% since June 2025.

For the uninitiated, Ethereum concentration measures how much ether SharpLink holds per 1,000 assumed diluted shares, offering insight into the company’s crypto exposure relative to its total potential equity base. It’s calculated by dividing total ETH holdings (including LsETH) by all issued and potentially issuable shares, without using the treasury stock method or accounting for vesting or conversion restrictions.

Following today’s announcement, SharpLink Gaming’s stock SBET is down 2.64%, trading at $14.40 at the time of writing. The stock is up more than 440% over the past six months.

ETH Taking The Limelight From Other Crypto

2025 has seen an unprecedented growth in the number of firms adopting a crypto-focused corporate treasury strategy, not just limited to leading digital assets like Bitcoin (BTC), or ETH.

For instance, NYSE-listed CleanCore Solutions recently announced that its Dogecoin (DOGE) treasury had topped 710 million DOGE. The firm has an aim of adding 1 billion DOGE to its balance sheet.

That said, the rate of Ethereum adoption has surpassed all other digital assets – including BTC – throughout the year. Recently, Ethereum whale BitMine purchased another 203,800 ETH, effectively owning 2.7% of Ethereum’s circulating supply. At press time, ETH trades at $3,988, up 0.8% in the past 24 hours.

Quick Facts:

1️⃣ Ripple ($XRP) rebounded above $2.50, with surging Futures Open Interest at $3.8B, signaling renewed investor confidence. 2️⃣ Sustained price action above $2.50 and a bullish MACD crossover suggest upward momentum, with resistance at $2.61–$2.70. 3️⃣ As XRP leads a broader altcoin recovery, investors are eyeing $PEPENODE — the native token of a gamified mine-to-earn ecosystem with a dynamic 674% APY.

On October 21, XRP ($XRP) rose above $2.50, alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, rebounding from an intraday low of $2.40 — a price action that reflects improving investor confidence in altcoins amid recent market volatility.

Traders are closely watching for a daily close above $2.50 to confirm recovery momentum, with the next resistance range between $2.61 and $2.71. A breakout above the resistance range could be the harbinger of a bullish phase.

In another positive development, the $XRP derivatives market is also stabilizing, as the Futures Open Interest (OI) has recovered to $3.8B from $3.5B on Sunday. Rising OI indicates more investors are opening positions, yet another sign of renewed market participation.

Looking back, the last OI peak occurred in mid-July, right after $XRP hit $3.66. Comparing that pattern with the current one, sustained OI increases often precede strong price rallies.

While the $XRP price action looks broadly positive, its funding rate suggests a short bias. Case in point, the OI-weighted funding rate dropped from 0.0068% to 0.0038%, indicating a neutral to bullish sentiment.

Moreover, technicals don’t lie — here’s what they’re flashing:

• $XRP is sticking close to $2.50, marking its fourth consecutive day of gains since Friday’s dip to $2.18 — signaling sustained price recovery, less likely for another sharp correction.
• The MACD (12,26) is at −0.13043 (the blue line crosses above the red line). A crossover often precedes upward momentum, indicating an early price recovery zone.
• The 200-day EMA is currently at $2.61, marking the first significant resistance, followed by $2.70. If the bulls manage to push the token above $2.70, it may validate a bullish breakout, setting the stage for a rally toward $3.

As $XRP hints at a potential bullish phase for altcoins, investors are looking for the next crypto to explode to redirect their funds while the market regains momentum.

PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) emerges as a strong contender by merging meme culture with actual utility through its gamified mine-to-earn ecosystem.

$PEPENODE Redefines Meme Coins With Gamified Virtual Mining

Unlike most meme coins that rely purely on community excitement and hype, PEPENODE ($PEPENODE) is an ERC-20 token that introduces a new and engaging way to mine memecoins through its gamified virtual mining setup.

The best part about PEPENODE is you don’t need expensive machinery, access to high voltage power, or any technical expertise. Its user-friendly interface lets you build, earn, and compete in a dynamic ecosystem and earn rewards for active participation.

Curious how it all works?

You begin with an empty virtual server room that you can fill with mining nodes to start mining. That’s where you’ll need $PEPENODE to buy your mining nodes.

The game is all about creating the ultimate rig to boost your yield using a strategic combination of nodes.

Now imagine the rush — your strategy and smart play could literally decide your profits.

With $PEPENODE, you’re always in control. If you wish to scale up, you can add more nodes and grow your gains. If you wish to step back, that’s possible too as you can sell them anytime and reclaim your $PEPENODE.

If you’re guessing a gamified mining ecosystem like this is about to make serious waves — You’re spot on!

The project has already raised $1.9M in its presale with one token today sitting at 0.0011138.

Here’s how to buy $PEPENODE now.

Whales are flocking towards the project stacking their bags with $PEPENODE worth $94.1K, underscoring their growing confidence in the project’s long-term potential.

You’re probably asking — what kind of potential?

According to our $PEPENODE price prediction, the token could climb to $0.0023 by the year’s end $0.0072 in 2026. That’s a 105% short-term gain and a 546% long-term return. You can also stake your tokens for 674% APY, adding another profit margin.

With the market recovering, can you really afford to sit this kind of potential out?

Don’t wait — lock in your $PEPENODE before the next price spike.

FLOKI has stunned the crypto market with a quick 22% surge in the past 24 hours after gathering the attention of crypto traders and meme-coin enthusiasts. The price spike, which saw the meme coin climb from around $0.000066 to as high as $0.0000879, came with a sudden surge in trading volume across major exchanges.

The first thought is that the move might be linked to Dogecoin’s momentum, but the real reason turned out to be something entirely different: a new post by Elon Musk that instantly went viral on the social media platform X.

Flōki Is Back On The Job

The rally began shortly after Elon Musk shared a humorous, AI-generated video of a Shiba Inu dog on X. In the clip, the dog appears sitting at a desk wearing glasses and a tie, jumping on the table and muttering, “Numbers, numbers, numbers… Is this working? Yay,” alongside the caption, “Flōki is back on the job as X CEO!” 

Within minutes of the post, FLOKI’s trading activity skyrocketed, and trading volume soared more than 700 percent. The cryptocurrency community instantly connected the post to the token, pushing its price upward by over 20 percent in just hours. 

FLOKI had been trading around $0.00006966 before the post, looking to break above $0.00007. However, after the post, the meme coin’s price had broken above this level and had even broken past $0.0000 within a few hours. Therefore, the move confirmed that it was Musk’s post alone that triggered the run, as there were no concurrent updates from the FLOKI development team or new exchange listings.

Why It Had Nothing To Do With Dogecoin

Although Elon Musk’s name has long been associated with Dogecoin, the king of meme coins, this particular event had nothing to do with it. The FLOKI rally was based purely on the six-second video of the Shiba Inu and not on any reference to Dogecoin. There was no Dogecoin tweet, partnership, or update from Musk in connection with this episode.

The meme coin surge serves as another example of how social media can dictate short-term volatility across the meme-coin market. Particularly, the market reaction shows how quickly Elon Musk can influence the price action of some cryptocurrencies, especially meme coins.

Dogecoin’s price was mostly stable during the FLOKI jump. Dogecoin even broke below $0.20 again, showing that the two meme coins’ movements were not correlated in this instance.

At the time of writing, FLOKI is trading at $0.00007316 after pulling back from an intraday high of $0.00008801 in reaction to Musk’s post. Its 24-hour trading volume is currently at $536.9 million, roughly 75 percent of its market cap. 

However, without concrete project updates or ecosystem expansion, FLOKI could easily retrace back below $0.00007 once the enthusiasm cools down.

Federal Reserve Governor Michael S. Barr used a keynote at DC Fintech Week to praise Congress for finally drawing lines around stablecoins—then immediately warned that the new law’s drafting could open channels for risk and regulatory arbitrage, including a pathway for Bitcoin-linked instruments to sit inside stablecoin reserves with only indirect Federal Reserve visibility.

Bitcoin May Exploit Loophole In GENIUS Act

Speaking in Washington on October 16, Barr said “payments innovation is accelerating,” and acknowledged that the newly enacted GENIUS Act “provides some clarity to issuers of stablecoins about how they can fit into the regulatory and supervisory framework,” potentially speeding development of new payment products. But he stressed that “success in accomplishing these goals will depend on the details of regulatory implementation,” adding bluntly: “Regulators have a lot of work to do to implement the act.”

The most pointed warning came in Barr’s discussion of what the statute now counts as permissible reserve assets for payment stablecoins. The GENIUS Act’s core safety mechanism is to restrict reserves to a list of high-quality, liquid instruments. Yet the text also allows reserves formed via overnight repurchase agreements backed by “any medium of exchange authorized or adopted by a foreign government.”

Barr highlighted the practical consequence with a concrete example: “For example, until quite recently, El Salvador treated Bitcoin as legal tender, and it still specifically permits Bitcoin to be used for transactions on a voluntary basis. As a result, an issuer could argue that Bitcoin repo could qualify as an eligible reserve asset for a stablecoin.”

He cautioned that if Bitcoin prices “were to drop sharply in value, a stablecoin issuer could be stuck holding the Bitcoin that had declined in value, potentially compromising the one-to-one backing of the stablecoin liabilities,” concluding that “to the extent possible, regulations should be put in place to eliminate or minimize such risks.” Barr’s Bitcoin example ties directly to his broader concern: the GENIUS Act creates a mosaic of overseers—four federal agencies plus every state and territorial regulator can serve as primary supervisor of permitted stablecoin issuers.

Not Only Bitcoin: More Crypto Risks

In his view, that multiplicity risks creating uneven interpretations of the law’s guardrails and incentives for “charter choice” that could blunt federal prudential intent. “There might be a great deal of heterogeneity in the regulatory frameworks that apply to permitted issuers… The resulting array of charter choice options, unless carefully managed, may provide incentives for regulatory arbitrage,” he said.

Beyond the foreign-authorized medium-of-exchange clause, Barr flagged other reserve-design openings that could transmit stress. He noted that the GENIUS Act allows uninsured deposits to count as permissible reserves and recalled their role as a “key risk factor during the March 2023 banking stress.” The law empowers regulators to limit concentrations in such deposits, he said, but “it will matter how these rules are written.”

His critique extended to scope and structure. The statute empowers federal and state regulators to authorize a wide range of activities for stablecoin issuers—“digital asset service provider” and “incidental” businesses beyond pure issuance. Barr warned that issuers “are likely to seek to stretch these activities limitations,” even to the point of arguing they could “perform the full range of activities conducted by FTX,” provided they make certain representations and maintain appropriate accounting. That breadth, he suggested, could leave some issuers operating with risk profiles far afield from narrow payments functions while escaping consolidated capital regimes if housed in trust-chartered entities—an echo of historical vulnerabilities.

On capital, Barr argued the law’s issuer-level requirements could prove “too narrow” once firms branch into these additional lines, particularly when the act carves bank-affiliated issuers out of consolidated capital coverage. “Appropriate capital requirements are another area where coordination among federal and state regulators is key,” he said, adding that the statute’s standard for judging whether state rules are “substantially similar” to federal requirements will matter in practice.

He also pressed on consumer-protection gaps. The act does not sweep in all instruments commonly marketed as “stablecoins,” allowing certain dollar-denominated tokenized products to remain outside the new regime. That omission, Barr warned, risks confusing users into believing they are protected when “there are no prudential protections of any kind.” He urged federal and state enforcers to use unfair-and-deceptive-practices authorities to police misrepresentations and noted the law lacks the fraud and unauthorized-transfer protections that apply to traditional payment rails.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $108,973.

Bitcoin jumped about 4% in the past 24 hours, trading near $110,000. Short-term players are watching a break above $112,200 for signs of renewed strength, while long-term holders still sit largely in profit.

Reports have disclosed that easing US–China tensions may help risk assets like Bitcoin in the near term, adding a geopolitical layer to price action.

Macro Risks Could Shape Next Downturn

According to analyst Willy Woo, the next crypto bear market could be driven by a classic “business cycle” slump rather than the usual crypto rhythms.

He pointed out that two cycles have overlapped so far: the four-year Bitcoin halving rhythm and swings in M2 money supply.

Woo warned that a true business cycle contraction — the kind seen around 2001 and 2008 — would be a different test for Bitcoin’s role in markets.

We had two 4y cycles superimposed

Now it’s only one; global M2 liquidity

Next bear IMO will be defined by another cycle people forget about → the business cycle

Historical Events Offer A Guide

The dot-com downturn around 2001 saw US stocks fall roughly 50% over two years. And during the 2008 financial crisis the S&P 500 dropped about 56% as credit froze and GDP fell.

Those events happened before crypto existed, which is why Woo says crypto has not yet been stress-tested by a full-scale recession. Based on reports, that concern is about how liquidity would change and how quickly investors would sell riskier holdings.

Liquidity And Recession Signals

The National Bureau of Economic Research tracks employment, personal income, industrial production and retail sales to spot recessions. Right now there is no across-the-board signal that a deep downturn is imminent, though some risks are elevated.

Trade tariffs are one factor that trimmed growth in the first half of 2025 and are expected to weigh on GDP into the first half of 2026, analysts said. That kind of slower growth can sap liquidity and pressure markets.

$BTC has reclaimed the $109,000-$110,000 support zone.

The next crucial level to reclaim is $112,000, which could push Bitcoin higher.

With US-China trade tensions easing, I think BTC could rally more from here. pic.twitter.com/D8VNses1ix

What Traders Are Watching Next

Analyst Ted Pillows said Bitcoin has regained a foothold between $109,000 and $110,000, and he pointed to $112,000 as the next resistance that matters.

A clean move above that zone could invite more buyers. Conversely, a sharp liquidity squeeze from a broader recession could force Bitcoin to move more like tech stocks did in past downturns, not like gold.

The Real Test

Woo said the real test for Bitcoin will come when cash gets tight and investors must choose where to park money — not from the usual crypto triggers.

This period, he said, will expose who treated Bitcoin as a hedge and who treated it as a high-risk bet, and that outcome will shape institutional behavior and market rules going forward.

The crypto market’s October slump just worsened, dropping by around 3%. Bitcoin slipped under $110,000 intraday and Ethereum fell below $3,900, dragging most altcoins into the red as a risk-off wave rippled across digital assets.

The drawdown follows one of the harshest months of the year. The market has erased roughly $370 billion in value, with as much as $19 billion in leveraged positions liquidated and $65 billion wiped from futures open interest, resetting activity to early-2025 levels.

Institutional support thinned as spot Bitcoin ETFs posted about $1.23B in weekly net outflows, including $366M on Friday alone, removing a key buyer during sell pressure.

At the same time, a major AWS outage disrupted access on leading venues, including Coinbase and several DeFi front ends, widening spreads and accelerating forced unwinds. Within 24 hours, over $240M in long positions, mostly BTC and ETH, were liquidated, briefly pushing Bitcoin toward $107,500.

Musk/SpaceX Wallet Move Fuels Fear As Macro Tensions Simmer

Nerves frayed further after trackers flagged SpaceX transfers totaling 2,395 BTC ($268M). While on-chain analysts suggest the flows look like internal custody reshuffles, with receiving wallets still inactive, the timing sparked “Is Musk selling?” headlines and added to headline risk.

The backdrop was already fragile as renewed U.S.–China trade tensions, a stronger dollar, and U.S. fiscal uncertainty have pushed investors toward cash and safe havens.

Micro catalysts didn’t help confidence. A Paxos operational error that minted an astronomical number of PYUSD units (quickly reversed) reminded traders of infrastructure risk just as liquidity thinned.

Meanwhile, altcoins bled more than majors (averaging 4% drop) as SOL, BNB, ADA and DOGE posted deeper single-day declines, while XRP showed relative resilience on fresh institutional headlines. The rotation underscores a classic flight to quality: when BTC wobbles, smaller caps usually underperform.

What To Watch Next

Technically, Bitcoin faces layered resistance near $112,000–$115,500, with supports at $108,000, $105,000–$102,000, and the psychological $100,000 zone.

A decisive daily close back above the 50-day region ($113,000) would help stabilize momentum; lose $101,700 and the market risks a deeper bearish phase as stop-losses and auto-deleveraging re-ignite.

For Ethereum, bulls want to reclaim $4,000 and the $4,050–$4,150 supply area; failure keeps pressure on toward $3,700–$3,600.

Near-term catalysts remain firmly macro, with the upcoming U.S. CPI print and any Federal Reserve hints on rate cuts or quantitative tightening (QT) likely to shift liquidity dynamics quickly. On the micro side, investors should monitor ETF flows to see if outflows ease, as well as exchange uptime and whale behavior.
