Crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto has shared a confident view of Bitcoin’s current market setup, describing the ability to read high-timeframe (HTF) structures as a superpower. His comments came at a time when Bitcoin had experienced notable volatility, fluctuating between $106,000 and $111,000 in recent days. 

According to the analyst, those panicking over short-term dips are overlooking what is a very healthy long-term structure that still supports a bullish trajectory to new Bitcoin price highs.

The Superpower Of Reading Market Structure

CrediBULL Crypto explained that understanding HTF inflection points and market structures separates confident traders from those who react emotionally to every correction. According to the analyst, Bitcoin’s current setup is still structurally bullish, and its broader uptrend is intact, even if the price were to dip below $100,000. 

This outlook is in response to many crypto traders who are starting to turn bearish due to Bitcoin’s lack of strong bullish momentum in recent weeks. In his view, many market participants rely too heavily on external factors such as macroeconomic data or political events instead of focusing on what the charts are showing.

He noted that chart literacy gives traders the clarity to stay calm during uncertainty. “Our HTF trend is intact and very healthy at current levels,” he wrote, stating that this is visible to anyone who understands how to properly identify market structure. To him, this ability is like a superpower, one that allows traders to see beyond noise and panic, focusing instead on trend integrity and higher-timeframe setups.

The Path To Higher Highs

CrediBULL Crypto’s comments were an extension of another post where he drew comparisons between Bitcoin’s current market behavior and its structure when it was trading around $58,000 in 2024. Back then, the invalidation level was set at $38,000, and even though Bitcoin dipped briefly, it never broke below that level before rallying above $100,000. He noted that the $74,000 level now holds the same importance that $38,000 did then, serving as a crucial line that confirms the continuation of the macro uptrend.

The analyst added that traders often misinterpret large invalidation ranges as weakness. However, he maintained that such levels are a normal part of high-timeframe analysis. Whether the gap between spot price and invalidation is 5% or 20%, the important thing is to stay consistent with the structure and not allow emotions to override logic.

CrediBULL Crypto’s chart projection outlines a continuation of Bitcoin’s larger-impulse fifth Elliott Wave. This large impulse wave is subdivided into smaller subwaves. The first subwave has played out successfully with a $37,500 move. 

The model implies that Bitcoin’s price could climb significantly higher once the current consolidation forms a confirmed higher low. The analyst projected the larger-impulse fifth wave at a peak price target of $200,000. He also marked $74,445 as the HTF invalidation zone, meaning any sustained move below that would negate the current bullish count.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at $111,120, up by 1.5% in the past 24 hours.

On-chain data shows a Bitcoin whale with a 4,000 BTC balance has woken up after a 14.3 years long slumber to spend 150 tokens.

Ancient Bitcoin Whale Has Broken A 14.3 Years Long Silence

According to data from cryptocurrency transaction tracker service Whale Alert, a dormant wallet with a massive amount of Bitcoin has just woken up. The address in question contained 4,000 BTC before its transaction on Friday.

Blockchain history shows this wallet collected the 4,000 BTC through mining rewards in 2011, implying the owner was an early miner. Back then, the block subsidy (the reward miners get for adding a new block to the chain) was worth 50 BTC, so it took the miner 80 blocks to assemble the stack.

Today, after four Halving events, the block subsidy has dropped to 3.125 BTC, so a miner could need to mine 1,280 blocks to procure the same amount (though, in practice, it would take fewer blocks due to transaction fees also playing a role now). When the miner received the tokens about 14 years ago, they were worth just $67,724. The same stack is today worth more than $440 million, meaning that the whale was sitting on a profit of a whopping 650,000% when they reactivated the wallet.

The dormancy-breaking Bitcoin transaction involved a sum of 150 BTC ($16.6 million at transfer time), as the details below from Whale Alert show.

It’s possible that the move may have been to realize some of the profit that the Bitcoin wallet has accumulated over its long life. So far, this 150 BTC transaction is the only withdrawal that the whale has made, so it remains to be seen whether more transfers will follow.

As for who’s behind the transaction, it’s hard to say anything for sure. Usually, wallets that grow this old without spending do so by becoming lost. That is, by having their existence forgotten or keys misplaced.

It could be that the original owner rediscovered the wallet, or someone else obtained its keys, whether by chance or by taking advantage of a vulnerability that the wallet software from that era could possess. Or, in a more unlikely scenario, the miner behind the address could just be a hardcore HODLer.

Speaking of transactions involving dormant coins, this year has seen a record-breaking number of them, as an analyst noted in a CryptoQuant Quicktake post.

“In 2025, Bitcoin movements of coins dormant for 7+ years have already exceeded 2024 levels, and there are still two months left,” noted the quant. So far, 2025 has seen 270,000 BTC move after being inactive for more than seven years, so by year’s end, the record could grow to 300,000 BTC.

BTC Price

Bitcoin is once again making an attempt at recovery as its price has surged to $111,100.

In a stunning turn of events, US President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon for Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, the founder of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange. Zhao had pleaded guilty in late 2023 to a single count of failing to maintain an adequate anti-money laundering program and subsequently stepped down as CEO. Binance paid a record $4.3 billion settlement to US authorities, and Zhao served four months in prison as part of the plea agreement.

Despite these legal and regulatory challenges, Binance has maintained its dominance in the crypto market. As of mid-2025, the exchange continues to command approximately 40% of global spot trading volume, underscoring its resilience and strong global user base. However, the journey has been turbulent. Since 2023, Binance has faced mounting regulatory scrutiny worldwide, with lawsuits from the SEC and CFTC reducing its market share from 60% to 52%.

Meanwhile, Binance.US has seen its operations severely curtailed, and several countries — including the UK, Nigeria, and Canada — have imposed restrictions or outright bans. Zhao’s pardon marks a significant political and symbolic moment, potentially reshaping Binance’s global narrative and reigniting discussions around crypto regulation and leadership accountability.

Binance Rebuilds Global Strength Through Asian Expansion and Stablecoin Dominance

Insights from XWIN Research Japan reveal that Binance’s response to years of regulatory headwinds has been a calculated strategic pivot toward Asia — a region increasingly defining the future of crypto adoption. In 2025, SoftBank’s PayPay acquired a 40% stake in Binance Japan, integrating its infrastructure into one of Japan’s largest mobile payment platforms. This move effectively bridged traditional fintech and crypto, boosting accessibility to millions of users.

Simultaneously, Gulf Binance obtained a full operating license in Thailand, launching regulated services and cementing its presence in Southeast Asia. In South Korea, after years of exclusion, they successfully re-entered the market through its acquisition of GOPAX, gaining approval from local regulators — a major milestone in restoring its regional footprint.

On the technological front, the BNB Chain ecosystem has experienced a strong resurgence. Decentralized trading volumes, active wallets, and developer engagement have surged, positioning Binance not just as an exchange, but as a critical DeFi infrastructure layer within the broader blockchain economy.

Most significantly, Binance now dominates the global stablecoin liquidity landscape. According to CryptoQuant, as of October 2025, Binance holds $44.2 billion in ERC-20 stablecoin reserves, representing 67% of all exchange balances. This liquidity serves as the backbone for markets across India, Brazil, and South Korea, reinforcing Binance’s pivotal role in facilitating cross-border trading and capital flows.

Having endured and adapted to regulatory pressure, Binance is now rebuilding from a position of strength — anchored by strategic partnerships, technological expansion, and an unshakable command over stablecoin liquidity. The exchange’s evolution reflects a shift from compliance recovery to structural dominance within the global digital asset ecosystem.

BNB Consolidates After Massive Run

BNB is currently trading around $1,128, showing signs of stabilization after weeks of heightened volatility. The 4-hour chart reveals that price has found short-term support around $1,080, with the 200-day moving average (red line) acting as a critical dynamic support level. The recovery above this zone indicates that buyers are gradually regaining control after the sharp pullback that followed the early-October highs near $1,380.

Despite the modest rebound, BNB remains capped below key resistance near $1,180, where the 50-day (blue) and 100-day (green) moving averages converge. A decisive breakout above this cluster could confirm a bullish reversal, potentially targeting the $1,250–$1,300 range — levels that previously acted as support before the correction.

On the downside, failure to hold the $1,080–$1,050 zone could invite renewed selling pressure, with potential retests of $1,000 or even $950 if broader market sentiment weakens.

From a structural standpoint, BNB appears to be consolidating within a broad range following its parabolic September rally. The next major directional move will likely depend on whether bulls can establish consistent momentum above the moving averages. Until then, BNB remains in a neutral-to-bullish accumulation phase, awaiting confirmation of trend continuation.

Dogecoin treasury company Bit Origin has highlighted how Michael Saylor’s Strategy has set the tone for their plans to accumulate DOGE. This came as the company is the first DOGE treasury company to be listed on the Nasdaq. 

Dogecoin Treasury Looks To Replicate Strategy’s Playbook

In an X post, the Dogecoin treasury company revealed its plans to replicate Strategy’s playbook for its DOGE accumulation. Bit Origin stated that it will conduct a DOGE-denominated private placement, enabling it to accumulate more DOGE and achieve a higher DOGE per share. Michael Saylor’s company has set this playbook with its Bitcoin treasury, as the company is known to raise capital through this means to buy more BTC. 

Meanwhile, Bit Origin mentioned how it has become the first Nasdaq Dogecoin treasury. CoinGecko data shows that the company currently holds 70.5 million DOGE ($16 million). The company was notably the first DOGE treasury company to emerge when it announced $500 million private placement in July earlier this year to accumulate the meme coin. 

Bit Origin’s stock has recorded significant gains since the company established its DOGE treasury. TradingView data shows the stock is up 170% over the last six months, around the time they began accumulating DOGE. However, the stock is down 58% year-to-date (YTD). The stock peaked at $0.7 after the treasury move but is now trading at around $0.4. 

Meanwhile, the Dogecoin treasury company also outlined its next move as it goes all in on DOGE. This includes plans to expand the treasury. Furthermore, they plan to build merchant payment rails and integration tools, and launch miner and ecosystem-focused services. Bit Origin stated that the goal is to drive adoption at scale, powered by Dogecoin and for Dogecoin. 

House of Doge To Join Bit Origin On The Nasdaq

Dogecoin Foundation’s corporate arm, House of Doge, is also set to join Bit Origin on the Nasdaq, potentially becoming the second Nasdaq-listed Dogecoin treasury company. House of Doge recently announced a merger agreement with Brag House Holdings (TBH) to facilitate its public listing. 

House of Doge plans to promote the institutional adoption of Dogecoin. Notably, the company was also instrumental in setting up CleanCore’s DOGE treasury. CleanCore, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), boasts the largest DOGE treasury, with 710 million coins ($140 million). 

The company has already revealed its intention to accumulate up to 1 billion DOGE. It is worth mentioning that Elon Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, is the chairman of the company’s board. Meanwhile, unlike Bit Origin, CleanCore’s stock has been down since it began accumulating DOGE. 

At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trading at around $0.197, up over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

While the price of Ethereum is holding above $3,800 and is experiencing a renewed bullish action, there is also a noticeable newfound optimism among investors and traders. With ETH gradually regaining upside traction, a significant portion of ETH has been leaving crypto exchanges at a rapid rate.

Investors Are Pulling Ethereum In Droves

Ethereum’s recent price performance is witnessing a notable reaction from both investors and traders alike. An optimistic trend is currently being observed among these investors, showcasing renewed confidence in ETH’s price trajectory.

From the report shared by Merlijn The Trader, a crypto expert, it shows that Ethereum’s on-chain dynamics are tightening as exchange withdrawals surge to new highs. This withdrawal from crypto exchanges signals increasing investor conviction and a shift toward a long-term holding strategy.

What this implies is that more ETH are now being moved into self-custody or cold wallets and staking contracts. While investors are locking in for the long haul, this accelerating outflow is reducing the amount of supply that is available on crypto exchanges and can pave the way for a new stage of price growth in the face of increased scarcity.

After delving into the Ethereum Exchange Reserve metric, Merlijn The Trader highlighted that the overall ETH reserves have reached a new multi-year low.  The development suggests that supply is bleeding out and demand is heating up. According to the crypto expert, such movement of coins is how parabolas begin, suggesting that ETH might be nearing its parabola point.

Indicators are also reflecting the ongoing buying pressure around ETH by big money. Joe Swanson, a market expert and trader, has outlined a formation on Ethereum’s 4-hour timeframe chart that shows that bulls are gradually taking control of the price action.

Swanson stated that the price of ETH is exhibiting a Triple Bottom pattern, a classic sign that a breakout is on the horizon. As seen in the chart, this bullish chart formation is unfolding just close to the $3,750 price mark. In the event that the altcoin can move above the $4,000 level, a 10% upside move is highly likely to occur. With this anticipated leg-up, ETH’s value could reach around $4,280 in the short term. 

ETH Is Still Not Bearish

Even though Ethereum’s price has pulled back, its short-term outlook is still bullish. Examining its current trend, StockTrader_Max has predicted that ETH’s setup looks primed for a breakout. His prediction is backed by the fact that the chart is not displaying anything bearish.

Furthermore, the expert noted that Ethereum appears poised for a rise based on an Elliot Wave formation. As StockTrader_Max foresees a breakout, the analyst has debunked contradictory forecasts, calling them loads of rubbish. “There is nothing wrong with this chart; I have seen 0 invalidations or breakdowns,” the expert added.

ETH’s current setup increases the possibility of a $6,000 milestone in the following months. Thus, StockTrader_Max has warned investors to be careful of the analysts to listen to in the media, especially on X.

According to a post by Stellar Rippler, Ripple could be using the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to expand its influence and prepare for a large wave of financial activity from the Asian payment market. Rippler’s post suggests that the fintech company is putting the right tools and structure in place before this liquidity shift happens. It also points to technology that is helping protect and secure the growing activity on the XRP Ledger. 

Stellar Rippler Highlights Growing Footprint Across Asia

In a recent post on X, Stellar Rippler said that “Ripple is about to take over the Asian markets.” The post explained that major institutions such as the Bank of Japan, SBI Holdings, and Gumi Inc. are only “the tip of the iceberg,” suggesting that Ripple’s reach is already spreading beyond these early partners, with more players across Asia joining in. 

Stellar Rippler noted that Ripple understands what needs to happen before the full liquidity wave hits the market. The post said, “Before the liquidity wave hits, the infrastructure must exist… Ripple knows that.” This statement indicates that the fintech company is not rushing but is carefully laying the foundation that will support large-scale financial transactions on the XRP Ledger. 

Stellar Rippler’s post highlights Ripple’s strategy of building first, so that when liquidity arrives, the network is ready to handle it quickly and efficiently. This effort may already be underway with DNA Protocol’s ZK-proof tech helping protect the large capital inflows expected to move from the East. 

Tech Partners Help Protect Big Money Moving To XRP Ledger

Stellar Rippler also mentioned that a key part of this plan involves DNA Protocol, a technology partner working with ZK-proof (zero-knowledge proof) tools that could give a secure base to the rising liquidity activity on the XRP ledger. According to the post, DNA Protocol’s ZK-proof tech will help “shield massive capital inflows from the East” as they move into the blockchain. 

Meanwhile, Stellar Rippler’s post also amplifies DNA Protocol’s announcement that it will attend Hong Kong FinTech Week, which runs from November 3–7, 2025. There, the company plans to demonstrate how genomic identity can securely anchor on the XRP Ledger using DNA Protocol’s zero-knowledge proof technology.

With this technology on the XRPL ledger, institutions can conduct transactions privately. Stellar Rippler suggested that this could be part of Ripple’s broader plan to prepare the the network for the next wave of liquidity and adoption from the Asian payments market.  

Rippler’s post paints a clear picture of how technology, partnerships, and careful planning are coming together to support Ripple’s push across the Asian market. It also highlights that the XRP Ledger is not only built for payments but could also become a foundation for the future of finance in the region.

XRP options contracts have achieved a remarkable milestone, surpassing $26 billion in notional volume in less than six months since their debut. This unprecedented surge marks a defining moment for the altcoin’s accelerating adoption and growing significance in institutional-grade crypto trading. The achievement also highlights the strong demand for the altcoin in the derivatives market. 

XRP Options Contracts Record Explosive Growth

Market expert Bill Morgan took to X social media on Thursday to announce that XRP futures and options have delivered exceptional performance since their launch in May 2025. Reports reveal that over 567,000 contracts have been traded to date, representing a notional volume of $26.9 billion. 

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) group confirmed these figures in an X post on the same day, emphasizing the growing institutional interest in XRP derivatives. In terms of scale, the total volume is equivalent to roughly 9 million XRP tokens, with an average daily trading volume of about $213 million.  

The CME group also reported in an earlier post that a broad surge in crypto derivatives activity, noting that Open Interest (OI) in crypto options hit a record of $9 billion, reflecting a 27% rise in October 10. Among the top three performers were XRP, Ethereum, and Solana, with futures showing an Open Interest of 10,100 contracts. 

Notably, the surge in futures and options activity underscores XRP’s growing influence in the digital asset ecosystem. It also highlights the cryptocurrency’s strong institutional demand, especially given its relatively recent regulatory clarity in the United States following the SEC settlement earlier this year. 

Analyst Predicts the Next Parabolic Run To $9.9 

Crypto market analyst Javon Marks shared a technical analysis of XRP, suggesting that the current price action mirrors a previous cycle pattern that led to a significant bull run. His chart comparison highlights recurring accumulation phases and breakout structures, indicating that the price could be gearing up for an imminent upward surge. 

Marks estimates that if this past fractal continues to play out, the token could reach $9.90, representing a roughly 309% increase from its current levels of around $ 2.40. His chart also illustrates a long-term structure with rising support lines and Fibonacci extension levels that align with the projected breakout zone. 

Marks’ analysis further suggests that XRP’s ongoing consolidation phase could serve as a launchpad for its next leg up, potentially replicating its legendary 2017 rally toward the $3.84 ATH. Although the cryptocurrency has experienced significant volatility and declines over the past few months, the analyst remains confident in its future outlook. CoinMarketCap data also indicates that the altcoin has recorded a modest 1.3% increase as it attempts to break out of its consolidation area near the $2.4 level, following a 14.4% decline over the past month. 

Bitcoin is now holding just above the $110,000 price level, but its recent pullback appears to have spurred a wave of uncertainty and fear in the market. Presently, this renewed uncertainty is observed among BTC key investors, who are now sending their holdings to crypto exchanges.

Binance Dominating Bitcoin Whale Activity

In a notable development, Bitcoin movement among large investors is shifting. The shift in whale activity is a result of the persistent movement of BTC coins into major crypto exchanges in the sector. However, one crypto exchange stands out, which is the world’s leading and largest centralized platform, Binance. 

The on-chain data on Bitcoin is flashing warning signs as whale activity toward the Binance platform intensifies. There has been a rapid rise in whale inflows to the exchange, representing one of the strongest surges in recent months.

Maartunn, a market expert and author, disclosed the trend among the investors after his investigation of Bitcoin – Binance Whale to Exchange Flow. This is a key metric that gauges large exchange inflow transactions, especially the wallet addresses holding at least 1,000 BTC.

Maartunn noted that this indicator highlights whether significant whale inflows are occurring, which have the potential to affect Bitcoin’s price trajectory significantly. According to the analyst, the Binance Whale to Exchange Flow metric has been rising sharply lately. The expert contends that the surge is likely triggered by several large transactions that occurred on October 21.

After combining the worth of each transaction, Maartunn revealed that the total inflow for that day alone reached a staggering $1.07 billion. During this period, these significant transfers probably had an impact on the price of Bitcoin, which rose from the $108,000 to $113,000 thresholds.

Spot Market Is Attracting More Traders

Since the massive liquidation event on October 10, Darkfost noted that there has been a significant upheaval in the crypto market, a scenario that signals the fragility of excessively leveraged positions. Many traders now seem to be adopting a more cautious stance after being severely impacted by the wave of forced liquidations, favoring the spot market.

In this context, Binance is still the most popular platform. Darkfost stated that the exchange continues to secure a massive portion of spot trading flows on Bitcoin, which is further consolidating its position as the global leader. Currently, the total cumulative BTC spot volume on Binance is at a mind-blowing $180 trillion.

When compared to early September, the shift is striking. At the same time, Binance’s daily Bitcoin spot volumes were between $3 billion and $5 billion. However, the daily spot volumes have been stabilizing between $5 billion and $10 billion since October 10. 

According to Darkfost, the sharp growth points to a resurgence in spot trading interest, suggesting a cautious investor mood. In his view, the return to the spot market may set the stage for a more sustainable bullish recovery.

It is important to note that market cycles have demonstrated that spot accumulation phases frequently precede structural recoveries. When spot liquidity returns, it creates a healthier base, with which derivative speculation can trigger new price movements in the short term.

A new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal titled “Chain Code Delegation for Private Collaborative Custody” has been opened on the Bitcoin BIPs repository, targeting a long-standing privacy leak in multisig collaborations that rely on shared extended public keys.

The technique, authored by Bitkey engineers and collaborators, with a public explainer from Bitkey, proposes withholding BIP32 chain codes from non-privileged participants so that cosigners can help with recovery and policy enforcement without gaining sweeping visibility into a user’s balances and transaction history. Bitkey says it plans to implement the scheme first if it becomes an accepted standard.

How The BIP Enhances Bitcoin Privacy

The crux of the privacy problem is well known to wallet engineers and custodial partners: in typical collaborative or assisted multisig, the cosigner is handed an xpub plus chain code, which lets them deterministically derive the addresses in a user’s wallet and, by scanning the blockchain, infer balances and flows.

Bitkey’s post frames the status quo plainly: sharing a key with a third party has “traditionally meant giving that party visibility into a user’s wallet balance and transaction history.” The new approach, they argue, “aims to remove that tradeoff” by withholding chain codes entirely and revealing only what is minimally necessary at spend time.

The proposed BIP’s abstract is crisp about the change in trust boundaries: “We propose a new BIP for Chain Code Delegation, a collaborative custody technique that involves privileged participants (delegatee) withholding BIP32 chain codes at key setup time from a delegator, and sharing only enough information for non-privileged participants to provide their signature.”

In the non-blinded flow, “the delegatee derives a per-spend scalar tweak t from the (withheld) chain code, the delegator computes the child key (x+t, P+tG), and produces a standard signature over the transaction’s sighash.” The blinded flow layers Schnorr blind signing on top so that the cosigner remains oblivious to the final message while still enforcing the per-spend tweak, leveraging the linearity of Schnorr for correctness.

Functionally, the technique narrows what a cosigner can learn and when. Rather than permanent, global observability over all derived addresses, the cosigner only sees per-spend data as needed. The Bitkey explainer translates this into a user-facing promise: cosigners can assist with recovery or spend policies “without learning anything about unrelated transactions or overall balances.”

If widely adopted, that shift would make collaborative custody wallets more comparable to DIY multisig on privacy, while preserving the operational benefits that have made assisted models attractive to mainstream and enterprise users.

The design has been incubating in the open. A technical discussion thread on Delving Bitcoin over the summer summarized two key benefits that extend beyond privacy: limiting the “security blast radius” because, without the chain code or undisclosed tweaks, a custodian’s key is effectively unspendable for UTXOs they haven’t been explicitly delegated for; and tightly scoping what gets revealed at the moment of spend, often just before those outputs are consumed. That thread foreshadowed the BIP now filed and offers useful context for reviewers tracing how the proposal hardened through feedback.

Bitkey positions itself as the first mover on implementation once the standard is vetted. “Bitkey plans to be the first to implement Chain Code Delegation in production,” the company wrote, arguing that it will enable “a private collaborative wallet—something that hasn’t been possible until now.” The explicit intention is for the technique to be an “open, community-vetted standard that any wallet or custody provider can adopt,” not a vendor-locked feature.

Prominent industry accounts amplified the announcement on X. Principal executive officer and chairman of Block, Inc Jack Dorsey highlighted Bitkey’s focus on pushing privacy improvements from product to protocol.

At press time, Bitcoin traded at $111,398.

Quick Facts:

• 1️⃣ Donald Trump’s full pardon of Binance founder CZ reignites optimism across the crypto market, with BNB up 8% in 24 hours.
• 2️⃣ Grok AI projects BNB could reach $900–$1,000 by mid-2025 if policy clarity continues and Binance maintains market share.
• 3️⃣ The broader rally extends beyond BNB as investors rotate into high-throughput Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER).
• 4️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper combines BTC’s security with Solana’s speed through its Canonical Bridge architecture — a setup AI analysts believe could 10x post-listing.

In a stunning twist, President Donald Trump granted a full pardon to Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao on October 23, 2025 — closing the book on years of courtroom drama and regulatory overhang. Markets reacted instantly: BNB jumped 8% within hours, blasting past $1,100.

The move underscores Trump’s drive to position the U.S. as a global leader in cryptocurrency, echoing his campaign vow to dismantle the heavy-handed enforcement policies of earlier administrations.

The question on every trader’s mind: how high can BNB go now that its founder is free – and how will AI tools like Grok forecast the next leg for $BNB and top altcoins like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER)?

BNB Price Analysis: Sentiment Turns Sharply Bullish

BNB’s comeback is more than just a headline bounce. The token has already been on a tear this year, climbing 88% compared to Bitcoin’s 62%, and the past 12 months show a consistent rise in active addresses — proof that its momentum is rooted in real network growth, not just speculation.

That bodes well for continued performance, especially when combined with the news of CZ’s pardon.

According to Elon Musk’s Grok AI, the latest predictions show quite a range – and major potential:

• 1️⃣ Short-Term (Next 1-3 Months): Expect consolidation around $1,050-$1,300, with dips to $1,100 as buy opportunities. A breakout above $1,160 could target $1,200 quickly.
• 2️⃣ Medium-Term (6 Months): $1,400-$1,500 likely if Bitcoin holds above $90K.
• 3️⃣ 12-Month Outlook: 20-60% growth, reaching $1,400-$1,900 by October 2026.

The most bearish predictions see $BNB falling to around $700. The more bullish predictions suggest that BNB could reach $1500, in line with what some investors believe on Polymarket, where the current odds for a new all-time high for $BNB before the end of the year stand at 38%.

The Trump 2.0 era continues to reshape crypto policy – and official US presidential residences.

With Fed rates expected to fall at the next meeting and softer-than-expected CPI data, the stage is set for a multi-asset crypto bull phase led by utility tokens like $BNB and next-generation Layer 2 networks like $HYPER.

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The Next Major Altcoin Contender Is a Critical Bitcoin Upgrade

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) operates as a hybrid Bitcoin Layer-2 platform merging Bitcoin’s canonical security with Solana’s high-speed virtual machine. What is Bitcoin Hyper? It’s the critical Bitcoin upgrade that transforms Bitcoin from a mere store of value into a game-changing, scalable network.

Tesla booked an $80 million gain on its bitcoin holdings in the third quarter of 2025, a move that lifted the value of its crypto stash but did not change the company’s cash from selling the coins. According to reports, the firm still held 11,509 BTC at the end of the quarter, which was valued at roughly $1.35 billion.

Tesla Books Crypto Gain

Reports have disclosed that the gain showed up on Tesla’s income statement because of recent accounting guidance that requires companies to mark certain crypto assets to fair value.

That change means swings in bitcoin’s market price now show up in quarterly results even if no coins are sold. Accounting experts have been preparing for this shift since the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued new guidance in late 2023.

Earnings Release: Core Results Mixed

Tesla’s revenue for Q3 was about $28 billion, higher than many estimates, while adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.50, missing the $0.54 consensus.

Analysts pointed to higher costs — including tariffs and a drop in regulatory credit income — as pressure points for profit margins even as vehicle deliveries remained strong.

Tesla revealed in its Q3 2025 earnings report that it hasn’t sold any of its Bitcoin holdings this quarter.

The company continues to hold around 11,509 BTC, valued at roughly $1.35 billion by the end of the quarter.

Thanks to Bitcoin’s price rise, Tesla recorded an $80… pic.twitter.com/SW1c6V5N7y

— Traders Paradise (@theparadiselive) October 23, 2025

Bitcoin Line Adds A Small But Visible Boost

The $80 million move is meaningful for crypto watchers but small relative to Tesla’s overall results. For context, adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was reported at roughly $4.3 billion, meaning the bitcoin gain represented a sliver of Tesla’s operating performance. The gain is described as unrealized — it reflects market value change rather than proceeds from sales.

Market Reaction And What It Means For Investors

Based on reports, investors treated the bitcoin news as a data point rather than a game plan. Some traders welcomed the transparency that comes with marking crypto to market.Others noted that bitcoin exposure adds another layer of volatility to Tesla’s earnings line, since future quarters could show losses if crypto prices retreat.

Why The Accounting Shift Matters

The new accounting rules remove the old asymmetry where companies could write down crypto when prices fell but not record gains when prices rose unless they sold.

Now, gains and losses flow through net income each reporting period, which can make results look choppier from quarter to quarter. Big companies that keep crypto on their balance sheets will likely see those swings reported more openly.

With its present holdings, Tesla is now the 11th-largest corporate Bitcoin holder in the world. The carmaker is ranked higher than Hut 8 Mining and a number of smaller organizations, but lower than Strategy, Galaxy Digital, and Block.

What to Know:

• 1️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) merges Bitcoin’s security with Solana’s speed through a Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration.
• 2️⃣ The project’s presale has surpassed $24M, signaling strong investor confidence ahead of its Layer-2 mainnet launch.
• 3️⃣ $HYPER enables fast, low-fee Bitcoin transactions, unlocking staking, DeFi, and micro-payment capabilities previously impossible on Bitcoin’s base layer.
• 4️⃣ With its ZK-proof security and cross-chain interoperability, Bitcoin Hyper positions itself as the leading scalable Bitcoin Layer-2 solution for 2025.

The regulated derivatives market for the cryptocurrency XRP shows signs of maturing – and the implications could be huge, setting up both XRP and the market’s top altcoins for major gains.

The world’s leading derivatives exchange, the CME Group (CME), recently reported over 567K contracts in XRP and Micro XRP futures traded in the five months since launch. That’s equivalent to nearly US $26.9 billion in notional volume, or approximately 9B $XRP.

CME’s figures signal more than just high turnover; they reflect growing institutional engagement in $XRP as an asset class. The derivatives contracts are cash-settled, regulated, and cleared under CME’s rules. They offer a level of oversight and transparency that many offshore venues do not.

With options on XRP futures now live, institutions and sophisticated traders have access to hedging tools and strategic flexibility previously unavailable. CME’s original press release indicated that XRP futures offered a standard (50K $XRP) and micro contract (2.5K $XRP). The futures launched on May 19, 2025.

With CME’s addition to its futures products, the gap between finance and crypto grows thinner. Will Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) add fuel to the fire for $XRP?

What This Means for XRP’s Price Outlook

Regulated futures and options inventory can have several effects on the underlying token:

• Liquidity deepening: The addition of more trading venues and instruments typically enhances price discovery and reduces bid-ask spreads.
• Institutional flows: Big players tend to prefer regulated products; their involvement can signal a high level of conviction.
• Potential for volatility: The introduction of derivatives can lead to increased volatility and volume in the underlying asset.

In light of these dynamics, if the derivatives momentum continues, $XRP may be positioned for a price breakout.

The 24/7 trading announcement for crypto derivatives by CME further suggests more extended access and potentially more volume from round-the-clock market participants. The market certainly isn’t going anywhere – in Q3 2025, CME earned over $1.2B from fees on its products, including options and futures.

With major players like CME developing advanced financial instruments for crypto, the intersection of crypto and traditional finance (tradfi) continues to grow. That sets the stage for the top altcoins – including Bitcoin Hyper – to explode. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – The Canonical Bridge Powering Bitcoin’s Layer-2 Revolution

Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) redefines Bitcoin’s future through a next-generation Layer-2. Hyper’s architecture merges Bitcoin’s security with Solana’s high-speed performance, using a Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration.

Bitcoin Hyper works by enabling wrapped BTC to move seamlessly across chains, unlocking decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, and micro-payment utility that Bitcoin’s base layer cannot support.

The project’s presale has drawn massive investor attention, nearing the $25M milestone and making $HYPER a contender for one of Uptober’s standout crypto launches. Learn how to buy $HYPER and join the presale – use $HYPER to pay transaction fees for instance, low-fee Bitcoin transfers.

Beyond speed, Hyper’s ZK-proofs and canonical consensus layer ensure verifiable transfers, addressing concerns around liquidity fragmentation and bridge risk.

With a hybrid architecture and ZK proofs, Bitcoin Hyper could become the first scalable, composable Bitcoin economy, giving $BTC holders access to staking yields and DeFi ecosystems previously reserved for Ethereum or Solana.

Our price prediction indicates that $HYPER, currently trading at $0.013165, could reach $0.20 by the end of 2026, delivering 1,400% gains to current investors and positioning it as a frontrunner among the best crypto projects of 2025.

Following major whale buys of $379K and $274K, there’s still time to visit the Bitcoin Hyper presale page and join the project.

The launch and impressive uptake of $XRP-based futures and options at CME mark an institutional milestone, one that establishes the best altcoins, such as Bitcoin Hyper, for future success.

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

La corsa di Bitcoin Hyper nasce da una presale che ha superato 24,6 milioni di dollari, spinta da investitori che non vogliono restare fuori e da un’idea semplice: rendere Bitcoin più rapido e meno costoso, aprendolo a usi quotidiani e più mainstream.

Nel primo piano c’è un obiettivo chiaro, cioè portare la scalabilità a livelli modello Solana e superare il collo di bottiglia dei famosi 7 TPS, che oggi creano code, tempi di conferma lunghi e pagamenti che in ore di punta diventano frustranti per chiunque.

Nelle discussioni sulla presale, molti la citano tra le migliori crypto presale, complice la narrativa “upgrade di Bitcoin” che di solito accende l’immaginario degli investitori e porta capitali freschi; a Q4 l’interesse è alto e il clima di mercato tende al bullish.

Vai a Bitcoin Hyper Perché serve un Layer-2 veloce

Quando la rete è affollata, la priorità a chi paga più commissioni lascia in coda micro-pagamenti e transazioni economiche, con un effetto a catena che tiene lontani nuovi utenti e rallenta builders e aziende che chiedono finalità più prevedibili.

I numeri dell’ecosystem non aiutano, perché nel 2025 la maggiore attività degli sviluppatori è su Ethereum e poi su Solana, mentre Bitcoin arranca, segno che i limiti di TPS frenano idee e applicazioni che vorrebbero girare senza colli di bottiglia.

Soluzioni esistenti hanno provato a mettere una pezza; Lightning ha sofferto tra bug, routing complicato e canali sbilanciati, altre Layer-2 hanno stretto troppo sulla centralizzazione o chiesto ai miner compromessi difficili, quindi lo spazio per innovare c’è eccome.

Cosa promette Bitcoin Hyper, in pratica

Bitcoin Hyper dichiara un’architettura che combina SVM e Canonical Bridge per avvicinare la capacità di produzione di Solana al mondo Bitcoin, con esecuzione rapida degli smart contract e trasferimenti che mirano a svolgersi in secondi, non minuti, e costi più bassi e prevedibili.

La SVM ha già dimostrato prestazioni elevate in ambienti dove la concorrenza delle transazioni è intensa, e qui punta a sbloccare applicazioni DeFi, gaming e pagamenti veloci, dove serve capacità di calcolo parallela e una latenza ridotta fin dal primo click.

Il Canonical Bridge dovrebbe connettere Hyper e Layer-1, “wrappando” i bitcoin sulla rete Hyper dopo la conferma nel Relay Program; i token restano utilizzabili nell’ecosistema finché non si decide di rientrare, superando l’attuale fee-based priority che frena l’uso.

Perché stanno entrando i capitali

L’idea di eliminare le code tramite capacità e finalità quasi istantanea piace sia ai piccoli sia agli istituzionali, poiché riduce l’ansia del price discovery nei picchi di rete e permette user experience più lineare, elemento chiave per l’adozione quotidiana.

I flussi della presale mostrano acquisti pesanti, con whales da 379.900, 274.000 e 180.600 dollari, oltre a movimenti più piccoli come 11.300 dollari; segnali che fanno pensare a fiducia nell’esecuzione tecnica e nella possibilità di costruire liquidità in tempi brevi.

Al momento i token si comprano a 0,013155 dollari, con staking dinamico al 48% che attrae chi ama rendite immediate, sebbene il rendimento scenda quando gli staker aumentano; gli step di prezzo in presale tendono a salire col passare delle waves.

Tempistiche, narrativa e rischi

La finestra di uscita è tra Q4 2025 e Q1 2026, quindi c’è tempo per test, audit e partnerships; se il mercato resta bullish, la story di “Bitcoin che scala” può restare centrale, ma l’esecuzione dovrà essere impeccabile e le go-live progressive.

Il team promette scalabilità e riduzione drastica dei tempi, tuttavia le lezioni passate di Lightning insegnano che instradamento, sicurezza dei bridge e UX dei wallet fanno la differenza; servono strumenti semplici e documentazione chiara per non perdere la spinta iniziale.

Se l’integrazione con builders e exchanges arriverà in fretta, Hyper può diventare terreno fertile per app ad alta intensità di traffico, dove la stabilità del TPS conta più del picco massimo, e dove fees stabili aiutano a pianificare modelli di business.

Scenario di prezzo e prospettive

C’è chi immagina un rally post-lancio, dopo la classica fase di “cash-in” iniziale, con obiettivi a 1,50 dollari entro il 2030 e ritorni teorici nell’ordine dell’11.302%, calcolati sul prezzo attuale; ipotesi ottimistiche che dipendono da execution e contesto macro.

Il sentiment di novembre tende al bullish e aiuta la narrativa della presale, ma resta fondamentale la gestione dei rilasci e l’arrivo di casi d’uso reali; senza traction concreta, il mercato ricalibra in fretta, e la community chiede progressi misurabili.

Per ora la storia regge su tre pilastri: tecnologia riconoscibile, ponte con Layer-1 e focus su commissioni basse e finalità rapide, perché gli utenti vogliono pagare in pochi secondi e gli sviluppatori vogliono costruire senza temere colli di bottiglia.

Vai a Bitcoin Hyper

 

 

Ripple chief technology officer David “JoelKatz” Schwartz has resurfaced a years-long thread of speculation around Bitcoin’s origins and his own pre-Ripple work with US government agencies, clarifying once again that he neither possessed “high level” intelligence nor claims special insight into Satoshi Nakamoto’s identity—while acknowledging that a US intelligence provenance for Bitcoin is “not a terrible theory.”

The renewed attention follows a fresh exchange on X on October 23, 2025, in which Schwartz responded to questions about prior employment and nondisclosure obligations—context that traces back to an October 24, 2022 thread where he weighed in on Satoshi debates and litigation risk tied to public claims about identity. “There is nothing defamatory about saying that Craig Wright is not Satoshi, just as there is nothing defamatory about saying that I am not Satoshi,” Schwartz wrote in 2022, adding, “There is nothing inherently wrong with not being Satoshi.”

In the same 2022 exchange, after community member @XRPcryptowolf joked “David Schwartz is Satoshi confirmed jk lol” and floated the notion that “Satoshi is really the CIA or NSA,” the Ripple CTO replied: “That’s not a terrible theory. If the NSA or the CIA happened to stumble on how to make bitcoin, it might make sense that they would implement and deploy it to eliminate the risk that someone hostile to the US would do it first and potentially made billions of dollars.”

Ripple CTO Shuts Down Satoshi Claims

The 2025 follow-ups drilled into Schwartz’s own past work and what, if anything, it implies. In response to a commenter’s claim—“Well, you’ve worked at the NSA, getting high level information, by your own words.” The Ripple CTO flatly rejected the characterization, indirectly doubling down that he isn’t (part of) Satoshi Nakamoto: “I never got anything even remotely resembling high level information. I had to certify that the thing I was working on would meet the NSA’s requirements without even being allowed to see most of them.”

I never got anything even remotely resembling high level information. I had to certify that the thing I was working on would meet the NSA’s requirements without even being allowed to see most of them.

— David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz (@JoelKatz) October 23, 2025

He then shared vignettes about the compartmentalization he encountered. “One requirement that I was allowed to see was that you had to be able to stop it from processing classified data if you lost control over it. I was puzzled—if you lost control over it, by definition you can’t stop it, right? It was explained to me that that’s…” He also noted signage he wasn’t permitted to have explained: “They wouldn’t even tell me why there’s little signs all over the place (generally on entrances or containers) that can be set to ‘OPEN’ or ‘CLOSED’ and what ‘OPEN’ and ‘CLOSED’ mean on those signs.”

Schwartz further recounted how, at one point, he recognized the user interface of “one thing I worked on” not through briefings but “because late one night I happened to have the Discovery Channel on and saw our UI on a screen.” He clarified the lineage of that code: “To be precise, that was work I did (on the same core code) for NATO shortly before I adapted it for the NSA. I don’t remember how I found out what the NSA was using it for. I don’t think I should reveal the exact uses, but they’re pretty boring.”

Asked when his nondisclosure agreement would expire, he answered: “I have no idea. They didn’t let me keep a copy and I don’t remember—if I ever even knew. I just hope nobody really cares any more. Plus, I never really knew anything all that secret.”

The through-line between the 2022 and 2025 messages is clear: a willingness to treat state-origin hypotheses for Bitcoin as plausible without endorsing them. “There is nothing inherently wrong with not being Satoshi,” the Ripple CTO emphasized in 2022. By 2025, his clarifications around the nature of his NSA and NATO work add color but not conspiracy: process-driven engineering inside a tightly siloed environment, limited visibility into end use, and no privileged window into intelligence secrets.

At press time, XRP traded at $2.42.

The Dogecoin price decline has already seen it lose the support at $0.2, suggesting that the decline is likely to deepen from here. This also aligns with the tight range that the meme coin has been trading in over the last few weeks, and could signal a restart of a consolidation trend. If the Dogecoin price is to see any meaningful recovery from here, then there is a major level that stands in the way. This raises the question: Will the last quarter of the year be bullish for Dogecoin?

The Level That The Dogecoin Price Must Break

A pseudonymous crypto analyst who goes by the name Catonese Cat on the X (formerly Twitter) platform has highlighted the level that has continued to hold the Dogecoin price down. This level lies at the 0.886 Fibonacci level, aligning with the price level just above $0.26, which has been a roadblock to its recovery.

Over the last few months, the Dogecoin price has failed to break above this level, and this suggests that this is where the bears are mounting their major defence. With the most recent recovery, the Dogecoin price had risen toward this level, but the weak momentum quickly faded, and the price crashed back down under pressure.

Highlighting this trend, the crypto analyst believes that this is the level holding the Dogecoin price back. The post explains that if the meme coin is able to break above the 0.886 level for good, then it would mean that the Dogecoin price is turning incredibly bullish.

However, with the price still trending well below this level, Catonese Cat explains that it means that Dogecoin is actually not ready to be incredibly bullish. With October almost gone, all eyes are now on November, which is historically a bullish month, to see what the crypto market holds.

Why November Could Be A Game-Changer

Looking at the past performance of the Dogecoin price in the month of November, it comes as no surprise that analysts are looking at this month favorably. Over the last two years, the price has risen drastically in November, leading to some of the highest gains for each respective year.

On average, the Dogecoin price has seen double-digit positive returns of 18.9% in the month of November, making it a highly profitable month, as data from CryptoRank shows. Additionally, the last quarter of the year often leans bullish and could support a price reversal, especially if Dogecoin is able to reclaim the 0.886 Fib level.

What to Know:

• 1️⃣ U.S. President Donald Trump’s full pardon of Binance founder Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao signals a major political shift toward pro-crypto policy in Washington.
• 2️⃣ The move could reopen the U.S. market for Binance and fuel renewed momentum for its native token, $BNB, which gained nearly 5% following the news.
• 3️⃣ Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and Maxi Doge ($MAXI) stand out as potential beneficiaries amid rising optimism for Bitcoin Layer-2 scaling and meme-coin market growth.
• 4️⃣ The pardon reinforces the “crypto-friendly administration” narrative — a catalyst for renewed investor confidence and capital inflows into the broader digital-asset market.

On October 23, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a full pardon to Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, founder of Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

It’s another pro-crypto decision from an administration set on positioning the US at the forefront of the global crypto economy.

For context, CZ had pleaded guilty in late 2023 to failing to maintain an adequate anti-money-laundering program at Binance and served a four-month federal prison sentence.

Binance also settled major regulatory action by paying approximately $4.3B in penalties.

WIth CZ and top crypto exchange Binance now back on good terms with the US legal system, which cryptocurrencies are poised to benefit? We explain below the potential of $HYPER, $MAXI, and of course $BNB.

A Landmark Pardon

With the recent pardon, Binance might resume greater operations in the U.S. That’s because the platform was required to exit the US market as part of CZ’s original settlement agreement with the US Department of Justice – along with his resignation as Binance CEO.

But with the pardon, it’s a new day for both Binance and CZ. Over on Polymarket, traders have already opened a line on if and when CZ will return to Binance.

Following the news, Bitcoin and Ethereum registered modest gains, both up roughly 1.5% in the past 24 hours. BNB showed stronger momentum, up nearly 5% soon after the announcement.

The best cryptos to buy now stand to benefit from the continued positive crypto outlook, so don’t miss the chance to take a closer look at these projects.

3. BNB ($BNB) – Binance Flagship Token Boasts $156B Market Cap

BNB ($BNB) is the native utility and governance token of the BNB Chain ecosystem, and a utility token giving holder incentives on the Binance exchange.

Over time, $BNB has grown beyond Binance itself to be the 4th-largest crypto by market cap, behind only Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Tether’s USDT.

The token sees consistent trading volume in the billions, and mostly green charts across the board.

BNB Chain (BSC), the project’s proprietary blockchain, is designed as a high-performance, EVM-compatible network supporting DeFi, NFTs, GameFi, Web3 dApps and real-world assets. Here, the BNB token serves multiple roles:

• paying transaction fees,
• staking/delegation for network security,
• participating in governance,
• value capture within the ecosystem.

$BNB has become one of the more core infrastructure tokens in crypto alongside Binance’s position atop the crypto exchange rankings, reaching a new ATH of $1,370 less than two weeks ago, on October 13.

Get $BNB on Binance for added trading perks.

Recap: For investors seeking the best crypto to buy now, the headlines indicate rising momentum for $BNB. Following behind, infrastructure plays like $HYPER and pure meme coins like $MAXI are also making waves in the altcoin and presale space.

As always, do your own research. This isn’t financial advice and crypto remains a high-risk market.

Trump Pardons Changpeng Zhao of Binance: Bitcoin Hit $111K, BNB Rallied 2%, and Best Presales like $HYPER Prepare for Rally

October 24, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

In a move that no one expected, Trump issued a full pardon for Changpen ‘CZ’ Zhao, Binance’s founder. After the announcement, CZ publicly expressed his full support for Trump’s crypto plans and administration.

The crypto market almost immediately priced in the news and exploded. Bitcoin is up, Ethereum pumped, and BNB and Solana also headed up.

Analysts expect a continuation of this bullish trend, with more altcoins following suit. But some of the biggest gainers might be crypto presales, as traders may rotate to them for more profits.

One of these is Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a project building the next L2 for Bitcoin, bringing sub-second transaction speed and dApp and smart contract support for the chain.

Solana Historic Pattern Promises 55% Rally as Best Presales like Snorter Token Amp Up

October 24, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

A trader on X (Four_IV) found a bull fractal in Solana’s performance chart that has appeared three times in the past. Every time, it preceded a bull run.

He says that if the pattern is validated again, $SOL could breakout above $300, a 55% pump.

With more institutions holding $SOL in treasuries and the likes of Fidelity supporting direct $SOL purchases for US customers, Solana’s ascension is all but certain at this point.

With this bullish technical pattern promising a $SOL rally, how do you think $SOL-based altcoins will react? Traders are expecting a rally, and many are looking at Snorter Token ($SNORT) as a potential next 1000x crypto.

The presale has raised $5.49M to build the quickest and cheapest trading bot on Solana, and its presale ends in 3 days, on October 27.

Here’s how to buy $SNORT before the presale ends.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump granted a pardon to former Binance CEO and co-founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), following months of speculation and anticipation surrounding this decision. 

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the pardon, stating, “President Trump exercised his constitutional authority by issuing a pardon for Mr. Zhao, who was prosecuted by the Biden Administration in their war on cryptocurrency.”

Binance Celebrates Trump’s Pardon For CZ

This scrutiny came during former President Joe Biden’s administration, which focused heavily on digital assets and firms like Binance. In 2023, Zhao pleaded guilty to violations of US anti-money-laundering (AML) laws and served a four-month prison sentence as part of a $4.3 billion settlement with US authorities.

In response to the pardon, Binance expressed in a new statement gratitude on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), stating: 

Thank you, President Trump @POTUS for your leadership and for your commitment to make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world! CZ’s vision not only made Binance the world’s largest crypto exchange but also shaped the broader crypto movement. Binance remains focused on building a secure, transparent, and user-first platform that reduces fees and increases access to the financial system for all.

Following the announcement, Zhao expressed his appreciation, stating he is “deeply grateful for today’s pardon and to President Trump for upholding America’s commitment to fairness, innovation, and justice.” He further pledged to contribute to making America the capital of crypto and advancing Web3 on a global scale.

However, the pardon has drawn criticism from experts like Adam Cochran, who described the decision as “disgusting—even for Trump.” Cochran pointed out that Zhao had admitted to allowing groups such as Hamas and Wagner to utilize Binance for sanctions violations.

Expert Raises Concerns Over CZ’s Ties To Trump

Cochran highlighted several developments linked to Zhao’s pardon, including Binance’s partnership with Trump’s World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and collaboration with Dominari Holdings, which includes Trump’s sons and operates out of Trump Tower, on various projects. 

Cochran also questioned the significance of the pardon, emphasizing that Zhao had already served his time and asked, “What difference does the pardon make?” He argued that it allows Zhao to take the reins of Binance or other financial projects again and removes oversight requirements. 

Cochran concluded that this situation represents “the CLEAREST case of pay-for-crime,” asserting that Trump has made it clear that “crime can be overlooked in America” as long as one can afford to pay for a pardon.

Following this development, Binance Coin (BNB) surged back toward $1,122, marking a 3.6% gain within 24 hours.

Canada’s anti-money laundering (AML) watchdog, The Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), recently announced that it had imposed a fine of $126 million on crypto trading platform Cryptomus for failure to report illicit transactions.

FINTRAC Slaps $126 Million Fine On Crypto Exchange Cryptomus

According to an official announcement on October 22, Canada’s FINTRAC has slapped a massive penalty of $126 million on Vancouver-based digital assets trading platform Cryptomus. The exchange was found in breach of multiple federal AML and counter-terrorist financing laws.

Notably, the fine imposed by FINTRAC on the trading platform is the largest penalty slapped on a Canada-based virtual assets entity to date. Cryptomus failed to report more than 1,000 suspicious transactions between July 1, 2024, and July 31, 2024.

In addition to the 1,000 unreported transactions, Cryptomus was also found guilty of not reporting 1,500 large digital currency transactions with questionable digital trails. It also failed to comply with a Ministerial Directive.

The regulator stated that the unreported transactions were largely related to child sexual abuse material, ransomware payments, fraud, and sanctions evasion. Further, Cryptomus failed to keep its compliance policies updated.

Per the FINTRAC press release, Cryptomus also did not assess risks of illicit finance, and failed to report crucial business changes as required by law. Commenting on the development, FINTRAC CEO Sarah Paquet said:

Given that numerous violations in this case were connected to trafficking in child sexual abuse material, fraud, ransomware payments and sanctions evasion, Fintrac was compelled to take this unprecedented enforcement action.

It should be highlighted that the Canadian financial regulator has been having a relatively busy 2025. Earlier this year, in February, FINTRAC issued an alert about the role of virtual asset funds in cleaning illicit funds tied to fentanyl and opioid trafficking. 

Similarly, in September, the Canadian police confirmed the largest digital assets seizure in the country’s history. At the time, Canada’s RCMP seized digital assets worth $40 million belonging to Montreal-based crypto exchange TradeOgre.

2025: The Year Of Penalties

2025 has seen an uptick in digital assets entities and traders facing fines for breach of laws. For example, Hungary’s financial watchdog announced that traders could face five years in prison for trading on unauthorized digital assets trading platforms.

Similarly, one of the largest global digital assets exchanges by trading volume, OKX, pleaded guilty to operating an unlicensed money transmitting business in the US. As a result, the exchange was fined $504 million.

That said, some countries’ citizens are pushing back against draconian digital assets laws. For instance, a controversial digital assets bill in Poland – Bill 1424 – is facing pushback from the Polish virtual assets community. At press time, Bitcoin trades at $109,401, up 1.1% in the past 24 hours.

Indian exchange WazirX is set to restart crypto trading and withdrawals for the first time since the July 2024 hack. Here’s the full schedule.

WazirX Trading Restart Will Begin Rolling Out This Friday

As announced in a new blogpost, WazirX is finally gearing up to restart trading. The crypto platform has been inoperational since July 2024, when it fell prey to a massive $235 million hack. User funds have remained stuck with WazirX in this period, but with the exchange now rolling out a restart, creditors should at last be able to get their digital assets back.

According to the blog post, the platform will enable trading in phases over four days, starting October 24th and reaching full activation by October 27th. Each day, around 25% of all tokens will go on listing. During this initial rollout, all tokens will be available for trading in the USDT market, but INR trading pairs outside of USDT/INR will be gradually enabled later. WazirX explained:

This phased rollout will help restore liquidity safely, confirm technical stability, and ensure a gradual and reliable return to normal trading across all market pairs.

The Indian exchange is also set to offer zero trading fees for the first 30 days of the restart, with a potential extension depending on how the community responds to it.

The trading restart announcement comes a day after WazirX reopened both INR and crypto deposits. Although the blog post contained no clarification about when withdrawals will start, the platform’s founder and CEO, Nischal Shetty, has shared the relevant info in an X post.

Shetty has noted that INR withdrawals are already live on the exchange, with crypto withdrawals beginning alongside the trading restart on Friday. “We will continue to add more tokens to the trading and withdrawal list,” said the WazirX CEO.

WazirX’s reopening arrives after several months of proceedings in Singapore’s High Court, where the platform’s parent company, Zettai Pte Ltd, a Singaporean entity, had to obtain the green light for a restructuring scheme.

The High Court finally approved the scheme earlier this month, and WazirX made it active on October 15th. The exchange had promised a restart within 10 business days, and with the plan to restart on October 24th, it appears to be right on schedule.

In July of this year, CoinDCX, another major Indian crypto exchange, also suffered a breach. Hackers stole around $44 million in digital assets, but in this case, the tokens came from the exchange’s own internal treasury, not user funds.

The timing of the hack was eerie, as it occurred exactly one year and one day after the WazirX incident. The WazirX hack has been linked with the North Korean Lazarus Group, and CoinDCX’s event is also suspected to involve the same or a similar entity.
