Whales Double Down on Chainlink: $188M Moved Off Binance Post-Crash
BitCoinistOct 27, 2025, 09:00 PM
Chainlink (LINK) has remained one of the most closely watched altcoins since the October 10 market crash, as investors and analysts position for the next major market phase. Despite the broader crypto downturn, Chainlink’s network strength and growing on-chain activity have kept it in focus as a potential leader of the next bullish wave. Recent on-chain data shows a clear accumulation trend among whales, signaling renewed confidence in the project’s long-term value. Large holders have been steadily adding to their LINK positions since the crash, suggesting that institutional and high-net-worth investors view current levels as an opportunity rather than a risk. Analysts argue that once market volatility subsides and Bitcoin confirms its next direction, LINK could experience an outsized recovery driven by strong fundamentals and increased adoption of Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure. The project’s expanding presence across DeFi, tokenization, and real-world data integration continues to position it as one of the most strategically important assets in the Web3 ecosystem. For now, all eyes are on Chainlink’s resilience — as the market searches for stability, LINK’s accumulation behavior may be laying the groundwork for one of the most compelling rebounds in the next bullish phase. Whales Withdraw Nearly $190M in LINK — A Strong Signal of Accumulation According to Lookonchain, a total of 39 new wallets have withdrawn 9.94 million LINK — worth approximately $188 million — from Binance since the October 10 market crash. This large-scale movement of funds suggests that whales are accumulating Chainlink, potentially in anticipation of a market rebound. Withdrawals of this magnitude are often interpreted as a bullish signal, as investors typically move assets off exchanges when they intend to hold them long-term rather than sell. It reflects growing confidence among large holders, who may view current prices as a strategic entry point. The timing also coincides with a broader phase of market uncertainty, reinforcing the idea that sophisticated investors are quietly positioning ahead of the next major move. The significance of this pattern goes beyond price speculation. Whales accumulating LINK may also indicate long-term belief in Chainlink’s fundamental role within decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset tokenization. As the leading oracle network, Chainlink secures data feeds and enables interoperability between blockchains — making it an essential layer in the Web3 infrastructure stack. If accumulation continues and market sentiment stabilizes, LINK could emerge as one of the key outperformers in the next crypto upcycle. Historically, similar accumulation phases have preceded major rallies in Chainlink’s price, particularly when exchange reserves decline and on-chain activity rises. In short, this $188 million withdrawal wave signals that large investors are accumulating with conviction, reducing selling pressure on exchanges and tightening supply — a setup that could pave the way for significant upside once broader market conditions turn favorable. Chainlink Holds Above Key Support As Whales Accumulate The weekly chart shows Chainlink (LINK) trading around $18.58, holding relatively stable after weeks of volatility following the October 10 crash. Despite the broader market uncertainty, LINK has managed to defend its key support zone near $16, which aligns with the 200-week moving average — a crucial long-term level watched by traders. Price action indicates consolidation above this support, with the 50-week moving average flattening and beginning to converge with the 100-week. This setup often signals the early stages of a structural base before a potential breakout, provided that buying momentum increases. The fact that whales have withdrawn nearly $188 million worth of LINK from exchanges reinforces this narrative, as such accumulation tends to tighten available supply and reduce selling pressure. Volume has also stabilized after a spike during the crash, suggesting that panic selling has cooled off. For a confirmed bullish shift, LINK needs to reclaim the $20–$22 resistance zone, which previously acted as both support and rejection during mid-year rallies. The chart reflects a period of healthy consolidation backed by on-chain accumulation. If Bitcoin stabilizes and macro conditions improve, LINK could be among the first altcoins to recover strongly, extending its long-term uptrend.

MicroStrategy Stock Rises Despite S&P’s Dismal Credit Rating
BeInCryptoOct 27, 2025, 08:53 PM
S&P Global Ratings assigned a credit rating to Strategy, giving it a B-. The firm claimed that its weak liquidity and narrow focus could make it fragile to future collapse. Nonetheless, Strategy’s stock rose today, as Saylor noted that his is the first digital asset treasury (DAT) to attract the S&P’s notice. This marketing technique epitomizes Strategy’s ongoing history of success. S&P Rates Strategy’s Credit Strategy recently slowed down its BTC purchases after a complete pause, but the firm remains determined to keep buying Bitcoin. Michael Saylor even announced a $43.4 million acquisition today, but the company has experienced a setback, as the S&P gave Strategy a B- credit rating, representing low confidence: “We view Strategy’s high bitcoin concentration, narrow business focus, weak risk-adjusted capitalization, and low US dollar liquidity as weaknesses. These are only partially offset by the company’s strong access to capital markets and prudent management of its capital structure,” the S&P claimed in a press release. The S&P highlighted a lot of structural factors, both specific to Strategy and applicable to the whole DAT industry, to assign this credit score. For one thing, the company is under acute pressure from shareholders thanks to stock dilution concerns, and Strategy is juggling diminishing mNAV concerns. Moreover, other DAT companies are turning away from Strategy’s pioneering tactics. More of these firms are pursuing diversified methods to build crypto stockpiles, even mining the tokens themselves, putting this early leader on the back foot. Even these tactics, however, are showing their own warning signs. These reasons led the S&P to assign such a low credit rating to Strategy, claiming it’s “unlikely” that this score will rise in the next year. The Show Must Go On Despite this sign of no confidence from the S&P, however, Strategy’s stock actually rose today. Saylor, an outsized personality in the crypto industry with a keen eye for marketing, cast this credit rating as a positive development. Sure, the agency took a dim view of his company, but Strategy is the first DAT to warrant an official rating from this institution. That special attention already serves as a milestone for the crypto industry: S&P Global Ratings has assigned Strategy Inc a 'B-' Issuer Credit Rating (Outlook Stable) — the first-ever rating of a Bitcoin Treasury Company by a major credit rating agency. https://t.co/WLMkFqkkCb— Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 27, 2025 Crypto economics live and die on community hype, and Strategy’s branding could be an “X factor” that the S&P can’t necessarily incorporate into a credit rating. Even now, new DAT firms are referred to as “MicroStrategies,” showing the original company’s outsized reputation. In other words, genuine enthusiasm could help paper over these contradictions. Ultimately, though, that doesn’t seem like enough. TradFi is becoming integrated with the broader crypto industry, but the S&P specifically spurned Strategy. Saylor needs to do more than weather momentary setbacks; he needs to regularly keep competing trends from crashing together. Eventually, one of these weaknesses could blow up in his face.

Huione Laundered Millions Through South Korean Exchanges

The US recently sanctioned Cambodia-based Huione Group, calling it a transnational crime organization. Authorities have now confirmed that the group laundered criminal funds through South Korean cryptocurrency exchanges. Data from South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) shows significant capital movements. Bithumb Processed Most of the Suspicious Transactions Huione’s subsidiary, Huione Guarantee, conducted extensive transactions with Korean won-market exchanges over the past three years.

Meanwhile, the timing of these transfers has raised an alarm. They coincide with a spike in fraud, kidnapping, and human trafficking cases in Cambodia. On October 18, the South Korean government repatriated 64 Korean nationals arrested in Cambodia for participating in online fraud schemes. Many were reportedly held captive by Chinese crime syndicates. Possible Links to Kidnapping and Sanctions Recent high-profile cases involving Korean victims of kidnapping, confinement, and murder have prompted a broader probe. South Korean authorities are investigating whether these incidents are tied to Huione Group’s operations. Investigators noted that transactions between Bithumb and Huione surged in 2024, around the same time reports increased of Koreans being lured to Cambodia under false job offers and then detained.

Bitcoin Price Jumps to $115,000 As Analyst Says It May Never Fall Below $100K Again
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 08:19 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Price Jumps to $115,000 As Analyst Says It May Never Fall Below $100K Again Bitcoin price surged to $115,000 on Monday, rising more than 1% in 24 hours, as optimism over easing U.S.–China trade tensions and renewed investor appetite for risk assets lifted global markets. According to Geoffrey Kendrick, Head of Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered Bank, Bitcoin price may “never fall below $100,000 again” if this week’s macro tailwinds continue. In a note to clients, Kendrick said that improving trade relations between Washington and Beijing have flipped last week’s market fear into “hope.” U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s weekend statement that restrictions on China’s rare earth exports could be postponed for a year, combined with reports that Beijing plans to buy large quantities of U.S. soybeans, sparked a relief rally across equities, commodities, and crypto. China, U.S trade deals and FOMC rate cuts The agreement, expected to be finalized after the upcoming Trump–Xi summit in South Korea, has renewed risk appetite and pushed the bitcoin-to-gold ratio back above pre-October 10 levels — the date when 100% tariff threats sent markets tumbling. Kendrick pointed to fresh inflows into spot bitcoin ETFs as another key signal of strength. Over $2 billion exited U.S. gold ETFs late last week, and if even half of that re-enters bitcoin funds, he said, it would mark a major vote of confidence. The analyst also highlighted macro tailwinds, including expectations for a 25-basis-point rate cut at Wednesday’s Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting — a move widely seen as bullish for bitcoin. Meanwhile, investors are watching a packed earnings calendar from both tech and crypto heavyweights. Microsoft, Meta, and Google are set to report on Wednesday, followed by Apple, Amazon, Coinbase, and Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) later in the week. “If this week goes well — bitcoin may never fall below $100,000 again,” Kendrick said. Bitcoin price outlook While bulls have made modest progress with Bitcoin, stronger resistance remains overhead at $117,600 and $122,000, leaving bears largely in control. If Bitcoin manages to surpass $122,000, professionals note the next target could be the upper boundary of a broadening wedge pattern at $128,000. Support levels remain critical for maintaining bullish momentum. The key short-term support at $106,900 held throughout last week, helping stabilize the market. Falling below this level could open the path toward the $105,000–$102,000 support zone, which has already been tested twice, with a third test raising the likelihood of a breakdown. Beyond that, $96,000 represents a crucial long-term support level for the broader bull market, acting as a do-or-die floor if prices decline further. As of press time, bitcoin was trading at $115,041, up 1.22% over the past 24 hours.

Ethereum Sees $169M in Outflows, But Traders Aren’t Backing Down on Leverage Bets
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 08:06 PM
Ethereum-based investment products recorded their first weekly outflows in five weeks, with $169 million, following steady withdrawals seen each day. Despite this, demand for 2x leveraged Ethereum ETPs stayed strong, which indicated continued trader interest in high-risk exposure. This comes as overall digital asset investment products attracted $921 million in inflows after several “choppy” weeks. The partial US government shutdown has clouded the macroeconomic outlook, limiting access to crucial policy data and creating uncertainty about the Federal Reserve’s next moves. However, Friday’s softer-than-expected CPI report revived optimism that more rate cuts may still come this year. Meanwhile, global ETP trading activity remained high, with $39 billion in volume for the week. This figure is far above the year-to-date average of $28 billion. Bitcoin Pulls Ahead In its latest edition of ‘Digital Asset Fund Flows Weekly Report,’ CoinShares reported Bitcoin investment products drew in $931 million in inflows this week and lifted total inflows since the US Federal Reserve’s rate cuts began to $9.4 billion. Year-to-date (YTD) inflows now stand at $30.2 billion, still trailing the $41.6 billion recorded in 2024. Short Bitcoin products also saw positive sentiment as this cohort attracted $14.4 million in new capital. Enthusiasm for Solana and XRP has tapered off ahead of their anticipated US ETF launches, with inflows of $29.4 million and $84.3 million, respectively. Multi-asset funds followed with $33.2 million in inflows, while Litecoin and Chainlink logged smaller gains of $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the same period. Among assets facing outflows, Sui followed Ethereum’s suit and registered $8.5 million, and Cardano saw $0.3 million in outflows. Regional inflows were led by the US with $843 million, while Germany delivered one of its biggest weeks to date with $502 million. Brazil and Australia recorded smaller gains of $13.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. On the other hand, Switzerland saw outflows of $359 million, though these were largely technical and were tied to asset transfers between providers. Sweden mirrored this trend with $49 million in outflows, and both Hong Kong and Canada registered modest declines of $11.2 million and $10 million each. Markets Brace for Trump-Xi Trade Talks According to QCP Capital, crypto markets are entering a critical crossroads this week as global and domestic catalysts converge. All eyes are on the upcoming Trump-Xi meeting as any progress on a US-China trade deal is expected to boost investor confidence and risk appetite, and lift Bitcoin and other assets out of their October stagnation. However, much hinges on the Federal Reserve’s decision regarding its quantitative tightening program. Additionally, the drawn-out US government shutdown and weak equity sentiment threaten to dampen momentum. With BTC trading flat and risk reversals turning neutral, markets appear to be cautiously positioned. Until Bitcoin reclaims the $116,000 level, the digital asset trading platform expects range-bound trading as crypto awaits its next macro-driven breakout.

Year-to-date (YTD) inflows now stand at $30.2 billion, still trailing the $41.6 billion recorded in 2024. Short Bitcoin products also saw positive sentiment as this cohort attracted $14.4 million in new capital. Enthusiasm for Solana and XRP has tapered off ahead of their anticipated US ETF launches, with inflows of $29.4 million and $84.3 million, respectively. Multi-asset funds followed with $33.2 million in inflows, while Litecoin and Chainlink logged smaller gains of $0.3 million and $0.1 million during the same period. Among assets facing outflows, Sui followed Ethereum’s suit and registered $8.5 million, and Cardano saw $0.3 million in outflows. Regional inflows were led by the US with $843 million, while Germany delivered one of its biggest weeks to date with $502 million. Brazil and Australia recorded smaller gains of $13.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. On the other hand, Switzerland saw outflows of $359 million, though these were largely technical and were tied to asset transfers between providers. Sweden mirrored this trend with $49 million in outflows, and both Hong Kong and Canada registered modest declines of $11.2 million and $10 million each. Markets Brace for Trump-Xi Trade Talks According to QCP Capital, crypto markets are entering a critical crossroads this week as global and domestic catalysts converge. All eyes are on the upcoming Trump-Xi meeting as any progress on a US-China trade deal is expected to boost investor confidence and risk appetite, and lift Bitcoin and other assets out of their October stagnation. However, much hinges on the Federal Reserve’s decision regarding its quantitative tightening program. Additionally, the drawn-out US government shutdown and weak equity sentiment threaten to dampen momentum. With BTC trading flat and risk reversals turning neutral, markets appear to be cautiously positioned. Until Bitcoin reclaims the $116,000 level, the digital asset trading platform expects range-bound trading as crypto awaits its next macro-driven breakout.

Canada Races to Finalize Stablecoin Rules Before Budget Reveal – Why?
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 07:20 PM
Canada is moving quickly to finalize long-awaited rules for stablecoins ahead of its federal budget announcement on November 4, as policymakers rush to keep pace with the United States and prevent a loss of financial sovereignty amid rising use of U.S. dollar-backed tokens.According to Bloomberg, government officials have spent weeks holding closed-door consultations with regulators and industry stakeholders to develop a regulatory framework for stablecoins. According to Bloomberg, Canada is accelerating the development of its stablecoin regulatory framework, with details expected to be officially announced in the federal budget to be presented by Finance Minister François‑Philippe Champagne on November 4. Government officials…— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) October 27, 2025 The rules are expected to be outlined in the upcoming budget to be presented by Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne.Officials familiar with the discussions said the government is now working toward addressing stablecoin oversight directly in the budget documents.The move comes amid growing concern from policymakers, market participants, and economists that Canada is falling behind other major economies, particularly the United States, in establishing clear rules for the stablecoin industry.Ottawa Urged to Act on Stablecoin Rules or Risk Losing Capital to U.S.Stablecoins, cryptocurrencies pegged to traditional currencies like the U.S. dollar, have grown into a central part of the global digital payments ecosystem. They are often issued by private companies such as Tether and Circle and backed by assets like U.S. Treasury bills to maintain price stability. The United States recently passed the GENIUS Act, granting regulators the authority to supervise stablecoin issuers, set reserve standards, and enforce anti–money laundering rules. The new law classified compliant stablecoins as payment instruments, giving the U.S. a clear framework that the industry has widely embraced.In contrast, Canada still lacks dedicated legislation. Regulators have said stablecoins could fall under existing securities or derivatives laws, but industry experts argue they should be treated as payment instruments instead. John Ruffolo, vice chair of the Council of Canadian Innovators, has urged Ottawa to act swiftly, warning that inaction could push capital south of the border.Without a clear framework, he said, Canadian investors and savers may increasingly turn to U.S. stablecoins to transfer funds internationally, effectively enriching American institutions and shifting financial data and liquidity outside the country.Data from Desjardins supports that concern. Foreign exchange strategist Mirza Shaheryar Baig noted that roughly 99% of global stablecoin value is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Since the GENIUS Act requires issuers to hold primarily U.S. Treasuries, he said, foreign adoption is fueling new and sustained demand for U.S. debt. Baig warned that widespread use of U.S. dollar stablecoins in Canada could weaken the country’s monetary sovereignty and reduce the Bank of Canada’s control over its money supply.The central bank itself has echoed the urgency. Ron Morrow, the Bank of Canada’s executive director of payments, supervision, and oversight, said in September that Canada must “weigh the merits of federal stablecoin regulation, similar to what other countries have done.”Source: Bank of CanadaMorrow warned that for stablecoins to function as real money, they must be “as safe and stable as the balance in your bank account.” The Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) has also expressed concern over the lack of regulatory clarity, calling for consistent national rules.Can New Rules Keep Canada Competitive in the Digital Payments Era?The absence of legislation has already begun to show economic consequences. A Desjardins report in October cautioned that Canada risks falling behind the U.S. and Europe, both of which have implemented stablecoin frameworks.Source: DesjardinsThe report also linked Shopify’s recent move to accept payments in USDC, a dollar-pegged stablecoin, to the growing attractiveness of U.S. digital payment systems.While a few domestic projects, such as QCAD and CADC, have introduced Canadian dollar–backed stablecoins, their adoption remains limited due to uncertainty over compliance and licensing requirements.Tetra Trust, a regulated Canadian custodian backed by National Bank and Shopify, plans to launch its own CAD-backed stablecoin in 2026, but experts say progress will remain slow until federal rules are established.Canada’s crypto adoption rate remains moderate compared to global trends. According to the Bank of Canada’s most recent “Methods-of-Payment” report, only around 3% of Canadians used Bitcoin for transactions in 2023, while cash accounted for 20% of all purchases.

Trump Family’s American Bitcoin Gains 10% With Fresh BTC Purchases

American Bitcoin, a BTC miner/treasury firm launched by the Trump family, holds a little under $4.5 million in Bitcoin. The firm’s stock price has climbed in recent days. The company hopes to use its mining operations and “Trump Bump” to remain at the cutting edge. Still, it’s hard to make any long-term predictions in today’s uncertain environment. A Trump Family Bitcoin Treasury President Trump has been introducing a lot of chaos to crypto markets, but many of his family’s business ventures are far less provocative. The President’s family has been receiving substantial incomes from its industry connections, and Trump venture American Bitcoin is making huge acquisitions: And we are just getting warmed up! Incredibly excited about $ABTC and what we are building. https://t.co/hjv8KCbCNx— Eric Trump (@EricTrump) October 27, 2025 According to a new press release, American Bitcoin has acquired 1,414 BTC since September, bringing its total holdings to 3,865. At current market rates, this represents a little under $4.5 billion in total, a major stockpile. Eric Trump repeatedly claimed that the firm plans to keep buying Bitcoin. Past Gains and Future Concerns American Bitcoin has only existed for a few months, but the Trump family’s support has already brought the firm a ton of success. The company’s stock value has been climbing since before the purchase announcement, growing roughly 20% in the last five days.

Source: Yahoo Finance Much of the firm’s BTC stockpile comes from these purchases, but its mining operations have also helped buoy its mNAV. While most digital asset treasury (DAT) firms are struggling under this limitation, mining and the “Trump Bump” could help American Bitcoin remain competitive. Still, the whole DAT sector is facing a ton of challenges, both in terms of finance and possible legal issues. Although the latter concern likely won’t matter for a Trump family venture, American Bitcoin is still in a very chaotic sector.

Relai will also be guided by an outstanding advisory board, seated with Jean Guillaume, Daniel Astraud, and Herve de Kerdrel. All are veterans within the industry and an excellent addition to Relai’s expansion in Europe. “Relai is one of the first Bitcoin-only companies to receive the MiCA license.

Digital Yen Goes Live: JPYC EX Integrates Traditional Finance With DeFi
NewsBTCOct 27, 2025, 07:00 PM
Japan has officially stepped into the regulated stablecoin era with the launch of JPYC EX, the country’s first fully licensed digital yen under the revised Payment Services Act. This milestone marks a pivotal moment for Japan’s financial sector, bridging traditional banking infrastructure with the Web3 ecosystem. Building on earlier versions of JPYC, the new JPYC EX is designed to serve as a compliant, yen-backed stablecoin connecting the nation’s banking system to blockchain-based commerce, DeFi applications, and cross-border payments. With full legal authorization and asset backing, it positions the yen as a future cornerstone in global digital finance. According to CryptoQuant, the total stablecoin market capitalization has now surpassed $150 billion, forming the backbone of liquidity for crypto markets, DeFi protocols, and global payments. Analysts from Citi and Bloomberg project that this figure could expand to between $1.6 and $4 trillion by 2030. Within that rapid growth, JPYC is forecasted to capture roughly 2% of the market, reaching a valuation of around $70 billion. A Fully Regulated Digital Yen Bridging Japan’s Finance and Web3 What distinguishes JPYC EX from other stablecoins is its combination of regulatory clarity, asset backing, and technical versatility. Domestic bank deposits and Japanese government bonds fully collateralize each token, ensuring complete transparency and stability. This structure makes JPYC EX one of the world’s most legally robust stablecoins. A benchmark for compliance-driven innovation in digital finance. Built on Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche, JPYC EX provides instant yen transfers with near-zero fees. Making it a practical tool for businesses and individuals alike. It supports commerce, payroll, peer-to-peer payments, and DeFi applications, offering the efficiency of blockchain without sacrificing legal or operational safeguards. JPYC EX also aligns closely with Japan’s digital transformation strategy, which aims to merge traditional finance with emerging Web3 systems.

Japan has officially stepped into the regulated stablecoin era with the launch of JPYC EX, the country’s first fully licensed digital yen under the revised Payment Services Act. This milestone marks a pivotal moment for Japan’s financial sector, bridging traditional banking infrastructure with the Web3 ecosystem. Building on earlier versions of JPYC, the new JPYC EX is designed to serve as a compliant, yen-backed stablecoin connecting the nation’s banking system to blockchain-based commerce, DeFi applications, and cross-border payments. With full legal authorization and asset backing, it positions the yen as a future cornerstone in global digital finance. According to CryptoQuant, the total stablecoin market capitalization has now surpassed $150 billion, forming the backbone of liquidity for crypto markets, DeFi protocols, and global payments. Analysts from Citi and Bloomberg project that this figure could expand to between $1.6 and $4 trillion by 2030. Within that rapid growth, JPYC is forecasted to capture roughly 2% of the market, reaching a valuation of around $70 billion. A Fully Regulated Digital Yen Bridging Japan’s Finance and Web3 What distinguishes JPYC EX from other stablecoins is its combination of regulatory clarity, asset backing, and technical versatility. Domestic bank deposits and Japanese government bonds fully collateralize each token, ensuring complete transparency and stability. This structure makes JPYC EX one of the world’s most legally robust stablecoins. A benchmark for compliance-driven innovation in digital finance. Built on Ethereum, Polygon, and Avalanche, JPYC EX provides instant yen transfers with near-zero fees. Making it a practical tool for businesses and individuals alike. It supports commerce, payroll, peer-to-peer payments, and DeFi applications, offering the efficiency of blockchain without sacrificing legal or operational safeguards. JPYC EX also aligns closely with Japan’s digital transformation strategy, which aims to merge traditional finance with emerging Web3 systems. By serving as a settlement layer for e-commerce platforms, NFT marketplaces, and cross-border transactions, the stablecoin enables instant yen transfers across Asia, lowering costs and increasing accessibility for international trade.

Bitcoin Faces Fork Risk: BIP-444’s Legal Warnings Ignite Community Backlash
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 06:42 PM
The Bitcoin (BTC) developer community is facing some disquiet after the publication of Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 444 (BIP-444), a “reduced data” soft fork that aims to restrict certain types of data storage on-chain. The proposal, introduced by contributor dathonohm and linked to long-time developer Luke Dashjr, has triggered debate due to language suggesting legal consequences for rejecting the fork. The Contentious Proposal Published on October 24, 2025, BIP-444 is labeled a “Reduced Data Temporary Softfork.” Its main goal is to stop people from storing large files, like images, within Bitcoin transactions. The authors argue this is needed because Bitcoin Core 30 lifted the 80-byte cap on OP_RETURN transactions, allowing users to store nearly 4 MB of non-financial data on-chain. They claim it could lead to illegal content being permanently added to the blockchain, putting every person running a Bitcoin node at legal risk. Dashjr previously described the changes made to OP_RETURN transactions as “utter insanity,” warning it would open the door to spam and unwanted data. Supporters of the modification argued that Bitcoin should remain neutral, relaying all valid transactions regardless of purpose. Now, BIP-444 appears to be a counterreaction to that liberalization, an effort to reintroduce strict limits after Core 30’s expansion. However, critics argue that the proposal’s tone and technical implications cross a line. In one section, the draft warns that “rejecting this softfork may subject you to legal or moral consequences, or could result in you splitting off to a new altcoin like Bcash.” This has been seen by many as an attempt to force the change through by using fear. Another part calls for “retroactive chain reorganization” to counter “an immediate crisis” caused by alleged illegal content in Bitcoin Core 30. This means that if a block with “troublesome content” is found, the new rules could be applied to erase it and all blocks after it, effectively rewriting a part of the blockchain’s history. Critics point out that the proposal admits it does not completely stop spam. It also places strict limits on advanced smart contracts, which could pause development on projects like BitVM. Community Division and Technical Concerns The backlash from well-known community figures has been swift and severe. Research group BitMEX Research warned that the plan could have the opposite of its intended effect. “A bad actor who wants to conduct a double spend attack could put CSAM onchain to cause a re-org and succeed with their attack,” they posted. “The proposal therefore provides an economic incentive for onchain CSAM.” Many are worried about the technical fallout. Developer Stephan Livera highlighted a comment from a fellow expert who warned that restricting Taproot scripts and removing OP_IF could “freeze funds” or block legitimate smart contract use cases like inheritance and recovery systems. Another developer, Nitesh, expressed a common feeling of frustration, posting: “The way the BIP has been worded sounds like the govt is threatening us.” Developer Matt Corallo summed up the concerns of many by comparing the careful approach usually taken with Bitcoin changes to this proposal’s aggressive style, simply stating, “This BIP: ‘YOLO’”. Supporters, however, see the measure as a short-term fix. On-chain analyst _Checkmate defended the plan, saying, “We need a temporary soft fork to stop the spread of spam. Just give us two weeks.” Dashjr himself responded to critics by saying the proposal has “no technical objections” and aims to make spam-based Taproot abuse invalid.

Strategy (MSTR) Earns S&P ‘B-’ Rating, Marking a Major Milestone for Bitcoin-Backed Credit
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 06:32 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Strategy (MSTR) Earns S&P ‘B-’ Rating, Marking a Major Milestone for Bitcoin-Backed Credit For the first time in financial history, a major credit rating agency has formally evaluated a company built on a bitcoin-backed credit model. In news covered by Bitcoin Magazine, the S&P Global Ratings has assigned Strategy Inc (MSTR) a ‘B-’ Issuer Credit Rating with a Stable outlook, recognizing not just the company, but the emergence of Bitcoin as collateral inside the credit system. This marks a watershed moment for corporate finance. Bitcoin-backed credit is no longer theoretical. It is now a rated financial reality. Why This Moment Matters Until now, Bitcoin had been accepted by equity markets, ETFs, and corporate treasury conversations — but credit markets remained untouched. Credit markets are where legitimacy is ultimately decided because they determine who can borrow, at what cost, and against which assets. By rating Strategy Inc, S&P has implicitly acknowledged: Bitcoin can underpin structured debt and preferred equity. A bitcoin-backed credit strategy can be modeled, rated, and priced using traditional frameworks. Bitcoin is shifting from speculative asset to recognized collateral within corporate capital structures. This is not a marketing milestone — it is a structural one. Bitcoin has entered the language of risk-adjusted return, yield, and covenants. How S&P Interpreted Strategy’s Bitcoin-Backed Capital Model The rating is speculative grade, but the Stable outlook is critical. It signals S&P’s belief that Strategy can continue to service obligations and access capital markets without selling its Bitcoin reserves — a foundational principle of bitcoin-backed credit. S&P’s analysis mentions several possible weaknesses: High concentration of assets in Bitcoin Low U.S. dollar liquidity and negative risk-adjusted capital under S&P’s methodology Currency mismatch: long Bitcoin, short U.S. dollar debt obligations Limited operating cash flow outside software revenue However, they also credited Strategy with unique structural strengths: No near-term debt maturities before 2027–2028 Proven access to capital markets — both equity and debt A capital stack purpose-built to accumulate Bitcoin without diluting shareholders Active liability management via convertible debt and preferred stock instruments In short, S&P is signaling that bitcoin-backed credit can function — if managed with discipline. Implications for the S&P 500 and Institutional Legitimacy Strategy Inc met the S&P 500 inclusion criteria in profitability and market capitalization but was passed over in 2024, widely believed to be due to its Bitcoin-heavy balance sheet. That decision now appears less defensible. With a formal credit rating, the company shifts from “unrated anomaly” to “rated issuer.” For institutional capital, that distinction matters. Index committees can now reference a risk rating — not just a narrative. Treasury teams and insurers can benchmark exposure to bitcoin-backed credit against traditional corporate debt. This increases (not guarantees) the probability of future index inclusion and passive capital flows. Bitcoin entering equity indices begins with Bitcoin entering the credit models behind them. Bitcoin-Backed Credit: The Ideal State of Treasury Strategy This rating does more than validate Strategy — it validates the architecture of bitcoin-backed credit as the superior evolution of corporate treasury management. Phase 1 was equity-funded Bitcoin accumulation — high growth but shareholder dilution.Phase 2 introduced convertible debt and preferred equity — allowing companies to acquire Bitcoin through capital markets rather than operating earnings.Phase 3, now underway, is full institutional recognition of bitcoin-backed credit — rated, benchmarked, and capable of scaling. This is the endgame: Use capital markets to borrow in fiat Use proceeds to acquire Bitcoin Service liabilities without selling reserves Increase Bitcoin-per-share over time, without issuing new common stock With S&P formally rating Strategy’s issuer credit, this model moves from innovation to infrastructure. Why Corporate Finance Leaders Need to Pay Attention This rating does not compel companies to adopt Bitcoin. But it removes the claim that Bitcoin cannot be integrated into traditional credit systems. From now on: Bitcoin can be factored into risk-weighted capital models and treasury policy. Credit and liquidity committees must understand how bitcoin-backed credit affects financing costs, refinancing risk, and balance sheet leverage. Investors can now compare Bitcoin-based capital structures against other high-yield or hybrid debt strategies. Boards can no longer dismiss Bitcoin as “unratable” or “unclassified.” A New Chapter for Corporate Finance and Capital Markets What makes this moment different isn’t that another institution “acknowledged” Bitcoin. That’s happened before with ETFs, GAAP accounting changes, and treasury allocations. What’s different is where the recognition has now occurred: Not in equity markets. Not in payment networks. But in credit — the foundation of corporate finance and monetary systems. When a credit rating agency like S&P evaluates a company built on Bitcoin, it does three things that have never happened before: It forces Bitcoin into risk models normally reserved for banks, sovereigns, and investment-grade corporations. It legitimizes bitcoin-backed credit as a structure that can be analyzed, refinanced, and scaled — not dismissed as speculative. It signals to other corporates and lenders that they must now understand Bitcoin not as an investment, but as collateral. This rating does not mean the model is risk-free. It means the model is real enough to underwrite, stress test, and lend against. That is the real inflection point — not that S&P approved of Bitcoin, but that they were forced to measure it.

Bitcoin Holds $114,530 Amid FOMC Volatility: Bulls Eye $117,600 Resistance
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 06:15 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Holds $114,530 Amid FOMC Volatility: Bulls Eye $117,600 Resistance Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook Bitcoin’s price action was rather subdued last week, keeping traders guessing whether or not we would see another large drop in price entering the weekend. Price held above the lows, however, slowly plodding a little bit higher to close out the week at $114,530. Bulls should not be overly disappointed with this price action, as they did reclaim the $112,200 resistance level, and are now closing in on conquering the next resistance level at $115,500. The bears are still sitting comfortably in control, though, with stronger resistance levels hanging overhead that the bulls have yet to challenge. This may be an interesting and volatile week ahead, with the FOMC meeting on Wednesday and a slough of large companies reporting third-quarter earnings. Key Support and Resistance Levels Now Nothing has materially changed from last week’s resistance levels as the bulls have made little progress. Heavy resistance is still sitting at $117,600 and $122,000 above there, so the bears aren’t feeling any real pressure yet. If by chance this week gets above $122,000, we will look to the upper boundary of our broadening wedge pattern at $128,000. Holding above the prior week’s low is a positive sign for the bulls, while they managed to maintain price above the key short-term support of $106,900 last week as well. This level must hold going forward, as closing below $106,900 opens the door back down to the $105,000 to $102,000 support zone that has already been tested twice. A third test of this support zone would be more likely to break it than to hold it. $96,000 is the long-term bull market support below here, a do-or-die support level if the price were to slide down and test it. Outlook For This Week Expect significant volatility this week, especially on Wednesday, as we have the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and ensuing Powell speech, followed by major earnings reports from Microsoft, Meta, and Google after market close. Bulls will look to hold $109,000 as a floor into this week, as doing so would position them to maintain upward momentum. Looking at the Momentum Reversal Indicator, we are currently sitting on an 8-count entering Monday. This is a warning candle that we may see momentum begin to fade. Tuesday should bring the 9-count at which point we should expect at least a pause on upward momentum and a 1 to 4 day correction in price. So if bulls can push price up to the 0.618 Fibonacci Retracement at $117,600 by Monday night or Tuesday morning, we should expect to see a rejection ther,e and we can re-assess after Wednesday’s FOMC and earnings reports play out. Market mood: Bearish – While the bulls gained some ground last week, the bears remain stoic and strong. The bulls must push the price past $122,000 to take back control. The next few weeks If bulls can manage to survive through this week, there are still some potential headwinds on the horizon. The US-China tariff dispute may or may not be resolved by the end of next week; a negative outcome will likely send all markets lower. Additionally, the US courts’ ruling on the legality of Trump’s tariffs is expected by November 5th. If these tariffs are reinstated, we should expect markets to head lower to price this impact in. Terminology Guide: Bulls/Bullish: Buyers or investors expecting the price to go higher. Bears/Bearish: Sellers or investors expecting the price to go lower. Support or support level: A level at which the price should hold for the asset, at least initially. The more touches on support, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold the price. Resistance or resistance level: Opposite of support. The level that is likely to reject the price, at least initially. The more touches at resistance, the weaker it gets and the more likely it is to fail to hold back the price. Fibonacci Retracements and Extensions: Ratios based on what is known as the golden ratio, a universal ratio pertaining to growth and decay cycles in nature. The golden ratio is based on the constants Phi (1.618) and phi (0.618). Broadening Wedge: A chart pattern consisting of an upper trend line acting as resistance and a lower trend line acting as support. These trend lines must diverge away from each other in order to validate the pattern. This pattern is a result of expanding price volatility, typically resulting in higher highs and lower lows. Momentum Reversal Indicator (MRI): A proprietary indicator created by Tone Vays.

Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Holds $114,530 Amid FOMC Volatility: Bulls Eye $117,600 Resistance Bitcoin Price Weekly Outlook Bitcoin’s price action was rather subdued last week, keeping traders guessing whether or not we would see another large drop in price entering the weekend. Price held above the lows, however, slowly plodding a little bit higher to close out the week at $114,530.

Bitcoin Soft Fork Sparks Fury Over ‘Legal Threats’ – Core Devs Face Backlash
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 06:07 PM
A new Bitcoin improvement proposal has ignited controversy across the Bitcoin community, with developers and users clashing over claims that it threatens legal consequences for those who reject it.The proposal, titled Bitcoin Improvement Proposal 444 (BIP-444), was published late Friday by an anonymous developer using the alias “Dathon Ohm.”It calls for a temporary soft fork to limit the amount of arbitrary data that can be included in Bitcoin transactions, a move supporters say is meant to protect node operators from legal risks, but critics are calling an attempt to impose censorship on the network.Legal Threats or Misunderstood Wording? Inside Bitcoin’s Latest Developer FeudThe document, which spans multiple technical sections, includes a contentious line that has become the center of the storm. On line 261, it states that “there is a moral and legal impediment to any attempt to reject this soft fork.” A few lines later, between lines 270 and 272, it adds: “Rejecting this soft fork may subject you to legal or moral consequences or could result in you splitting off to a new altcoin like Bcash. However, strictly speaking, you are free to choose.”Source: GitHubThat phrasing triggered immediate backlash on X (formerly Twitter), with critics accusing the proposal’s authors of using “legal threats” to coerce the Bitcoin community into accepting the soft fork. Ben Kaufman, a Bitcoin developer, described it as “the most clear case of an attack on Bitcoin.” Canadian cryptographer Peter Todd shared a screenshot of the section, saying it was “clear [Luke Dashjr] expects his soft fork to get adopted due to legal threats.” A fork under the threat of “legal consequences” is the most clear case of an attack on Bitcoin— Ben Kaufman (@_benkaufman) October 26, 2025 Galaxy Digital’s Alex Thorn called it “explicitly an attack on Bitcoin” and “incredibly stupid.”Luke Dashjr, a longtime Bitcoin Core developer and outspoken critic of Ordinals, has publicly supported the proposal but denied writing it. Dashjr said on X that the soft fork is “on track with no technical objections,” describing it as a “simple, temporary measure” to buy time for a long-term solution. “This isn’t intended to be an ideal fix,” he wrote, “only good enough to give us breathing room.” No. BIP 444 is already on track with no technical objections.https://t.co/sF7HUiGgRm— Luke Dashjr (@LukeDashjr) October 26, 2025 New Bitcoin Proposal Seeks to Limit Data Storage, Citing Legal Threats to Node OperatorsThe soft fork proposal follows the release of Bitcoin Core v30, which went live earlier this month. That update effectively lifted the 83-byte limit on OP_RETURN data, allowing larger payloads to be attached to Bitcoin transactions. While only about 6.5% of reachable nodes have adopted v30 so far, according to Bitnodes data, the change has reignited debate over what Bitcoin should, and should not, be used for.Source: BitnodesBIP-444’s authors argue that Bitcoin’s expanded data capacity could expose node operators to criminal liability if illegal material, such as child sexual abuse content, is uploaded to the blockchain.“If the blockchain contains content that is illegal to possess or distribute, node operators are forced to choose between violating the law (or their conscience) or shutting down their node,” the document states.“This unacceptable dilemma directly undermines the incentive to validate, leading to inevitable centralization and posing an existential threat to Bitcoin’s security model.”To address that, the proposal introduces a set of technical restrictions. OP_RETURN outputs would be capped at 83 bytes, most other scriptPubKeys at 34 bytes, and data push sizes limited to 256 bytes. It also seeks to invalidate unused script versions, restrict Taproot Merkle trees, and ban the OP_IF command in Tapscript, a change that would effectively disable Ordinals inscriptions.These measures would make some transactions previously considered valid become invalid, though the proposal emphasizes that the soft fork would last only about a year while developers seek a permanent solution.Security Fix or Threat to Bitcoin’s Voluntary Consensus?Despite the technical rationale, the proposal’s wording has alarmed many Bitcoiners. Some called the “moral and legal impediment” language “Orwellian,” referencing George Orwell’s depiction of authoritarian control in 1984.Others warned that using moral or legal arguments to push through a fork contradicts Bitcoin’s principle of voluntary consensus.Supporters of the proposal argue that the “legal consequences” phrasing has been misinterpreted. They say the line refers to the potential liability that could arise from running nodes containing illegal content, not an actual legal threat to dissenters. Dashjr himself echoed this explanation, saying, “It doesn’t say that. Maybe you can propose a clarification if you think it’s unclear.” It doesn't say that. Maybe you can propose a clarification if you think it's unclear— Luke Dashjr (@LukeDashjr) October 26, 2025 He added that “may isn’t certain,” suggesting that the clause originated in an earlier draft and should be updated for clarity.Still, many remain unconvinced. Jameson Lopp, co-founder of Bitcoin security firm Casa, criticized the proposal for failing to define what constitutes “illegal or immoral” content, noting that “legal experts disagree on the liability node operators would face.”Lopp added, “By running a node, you consent to the consensus rules of the network. If you don’t consent, you can simply not run a node.”Source: Github/LoppOthers warned that forcing consensus around the proposal could lead to a network split. A user under the handle Leonidas, known in the Ordinals community, argued that censoring data transactions “sets a dangerous precedent,” equating it to state censorship of financial transactions. An open letter to Bitcoin Core,Any serious attempt by Bitcoin Core to tighten policy rules or censor Ordinals and Runes transactions will be met with decisive action. If necessary, the $DOG Army will fund the development and maintenance of an open source fork of Bitcoin Core… https://t.co/qmWV5jXgYO— Leonidas $DOG (@LeonidasNFT) September 6, 2025 “There is no meaningful difference between normalizing the censorship of JPEG or memecoin transactions and normalizing the censorship of monetary transactions by nation-states,” he said.Meanwhile, Peter Todd claimed to have already demonstrated a workaround, posting a transaction that he said contains the entire text of BIP-444 yet remains “100% standard and fully compatible” with the proposed rules, a move that, if true, would undermine the technical purpose of the soft fork.The BIP-444 proposal has not yet been submitted to Bitcoin’s official development mailing list, a necessary step before any draft improvement proposal can move toward formal review or activation. But the uproar around its language has already deepened existing divisions between developers over the direction of Bitcoin’s protocol.The post Bitcoin Soft Fork Sparks Fury Over ‘Legal Threats’ – Core Devs Face Backlash appeared first on Cryptonews.

S&P Assigns ‘B-’ Rating to Strategy (MSTR), Citing Bitcoin Exposure and Liquidity Risk
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 05:56 PM
Bitcoin Magazine S&P Assigns ‘B-’ Rating to Strategy (MSTR), Citing Bitcoin Exposure and Liquidity Risk S&P Global Ratings assigned a ‘B-’ issuer credit rating to bitcoin-juggernaut Strategy, reflecting the company’s heavy concentration in bitcoin and limited dollar liquidity. The outlook is stable. S&P said the rating reflects Strategy’s “high bitcoin concentration, narrow business focus, weak risk-adjusted capitalization, and low U.S. dollar liquidity.” The company reported $8.1 billion in pre-tax earnings in the first half of 2025, almost entirely from appreciation in the value of its bitcoin holdings. The firm said in their release that while Strategy’s balance sheet is dominated by bitcoin, its management has prudently staggered debt maturities and maintained flexibility by financing primarily with equity. In other words, this rating means Strategy can meet debt obligations for now but faces significant default risk if market conditions worsen. Strategy — now effectively a bitcoin treasury company — raises capital through equity and debt issuances to purchase and hold bitcoin. Its securities give investors varying exposure to bitcoin across its capital structure. Just today, founder and former CEO Michael Saylor announced a purchase of 390 BTC between October 20 and October 26, spending approximately $43.4 million at an average price of $111,053 per Bitcoin. The firm still operates a small AI-powered analytics business, though it remains roughly breakeven. JUST IN: S&P Global Ratings has rated a #Bitcoin treasury company for the first time — Michael Saylor’s Strategy pic.twitter.com/oP4j5UIJlj— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 27, 2025 A Strategy first This S&P rating is the first-ever rating of a Bitcoin Treasury Company by a major credit rating agency. According to S&P, Strategy’s risk-adjusted capital ratio was significantly negative as of June 30, 2025, because the agency deducts bitcoin assets from equity in its calculation. Strategy reported $8.1 billion in pre-tax earnings in the first half of 2025. Operating cash flow during the period was negative $37 million. The agency cited several key risks, including a currency mismatch between Strategy’s bitcoin-denominated assets and dollar-denominated obligations such as interest, debt principal, and preferred dividends. S&P also pointed to cybersecurity risks given the company’s reliance on custodians to safeguard its bitcoin. Strategy holds bitcoin valued at roughly $70 billion, against $8 billion in convertible debt, much of which matures beginning in 2028. Annual preferred dividends total about $640 million, which the company plans to fund through additional stock and preferred equity issuance. While Strategy’s access to capital markets remains a core strength, S&P warned that a sharp decline in bitcoin prices or loss of investor confidence could impede its ability to refinance debt or pay dividends, potentially leading to bitcoin sales “at severely depressed prices.” S&P said the rating could be downgraded if access to markets weakens or debt management risks rise. An upgrade is unlikely unless the company improves its U.S. dollar liquidity or reduces reliance on convertible debt. Strategy’s trillion-dollar endgame Earlier this year, Michael Saylor laid out an ambitious plan to reshape global finance through Bitcoin. In an interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Saylor described an “endgame” in which Strategy accumulates a trillion-dollar bitcoin balance sheet, growing 20–30% annually, and uses it as the foundation for a new global credit system. At the core of his vision is scale: with enough BTC on corporate balance sheets, the long-term appreciation of Bitcoin — historically around 21% annually — would supercharge the capital base. On top of that, Saylor sees an opportunity to issue bitcoin-backed credit at yields significantly higher than traditional fiat-based debt, potentially two to four percentage points above corporate or sovereign rates. He argued that over-collateralization could make this system safer than even AAA-rated debt, while simultaneously fueling broader financial growth. Saylor’s vision extends beyond credit markets. As Bitcoin becomes embedded in corporations, banks, insurers, and sovereign wealth funds, public equity indexes could gradually become indirect bitcoin vehicles. This, he says, would benefit equity markets and corporate balance sheets while introducing higher yields and greater transparency into financial products. The implications are broad: savings accounts could yield 8–10% instead of near-zero, money market funds could be denominated in bitcoin, and insurance products could be reimagined around bitcoin collateral.

Bitfinex Hacker “Razzlekhan” Thanks Trump for Early Prison Release
BeInCryptoOct 27, 2025, 05:15 PM
Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, one of the Bitfinex hackers, just thanked President Trump for her release from prison. She was released a few days ago to little fanfare amidst more famous pardons. The community has been confused; even if Trump is trading pardons for bribes, what could she actually offer him? However, Trump’s desire to retain BTC seized from the hackers might hold the key. Trump Releases Razzlekhan President Trump’s decision to pardon CZ, the former CEO of Binance, last week shocked and polarized the Web3 space. However, one thing this act also did was steal the spotlight from other acts of crypto clemency. Heather “Razzlekhan” Morgan, one of the famous Bitfinex hackers, just thanked President Trump for her early release: Def missed my tub  in prison! Should I film my interview show from here? 樂路&zwj;♀️吏&zwj;♀️ pic.twitter.com/W1ElYP1By4— Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan (@HeatherReyhan) October 26, 2025 In a recent video recorded from a bathtub, Razzlekhan gave a “shoutout to Papa Trump” for shortening her prison sentence. She was only set to serve 18 months for money laundering, most of which had already been completed. Apparently, her release date was supposed to be in January 2026 before Trump’s intervention. Why Set Her Free? This act of clemency has left the community baffled. Razzlekhan may be an infamous crypto personality, but there’s no clear reason for Trump to reduce her sentence. CZ had his business connections with the President, and Ulbricht enjoyed community support, but what does Razzlekhan have? After all, SBF remains in prison despite his high stature, and his extensive political contributions largely went against Trump. Even if one assumes that the President is purely assigning crypto clemency based on personal favors and corruption, it’s hard to find a clear benefit to him. Her release largely went unnoticed, so it’s not even a PR stunt. Looks like Razzlekhan got an early release from prison. Originally scheduled for 1/12/26, according to the federal inmate locator tool. https://t.co/WXpBgu2qzB— Jacob Silverman (@SilvermanJacob) October 27, 2025 Possible Bitcoin Reserve Connections Trump has proposed creating a “Crypto Strategic Reserve”, similar to the US oil reserve, to strengthen national crypto holdings. But if the government were to reimburse Bitfinex victims, it could lose more than $10 billion in Bitcoin from that pool. By portraying Razzlekhan’s prosecution as an overreach of Biden-era crypto enforcement, the Trump administration could potentially justify keeping the seized BTC as state property. To be clear, though, this is speculation. Trump has a material interest in keeping the seized Bitfinex assets, and Razzlekhan is only a small piece of that puzzle. If there is a plan to hold onto this BTC, it’s in the early stages. Still, Trump’s crypto pardons are causing a ton of chaos. If blatant criminals keep walking free and resuming business operations, it could cause irreversible damage.

White House GameStop Tweet Causes WLFI Frenzy as Volume Spikes to $222M: Maxi Doge to Soar Next?
BitCoinistOct 27, 2025, 04:54 PM
What to Know: 1️⃣ A surprise White House post featuring Donald Trump as Halo’s Master Chief sent social media — and GameStop traders — into overdrive, fueling speculation of deeper ties between Trump’s circle and retail-favorite stocks. 2️⃣ Binance founder CZ’s presidential pardon restores a key link between Trump-aligned World Liberty Financial (WLFI) and global crypto liquidity, with WLFI’s trading volume spiking to $222 million. 3️⃣ GameStop’s parody “end of the console wars” post cleverly revived nostalgic gaming culture while amplifying retail investor attention — just as WLFI and meme-coin markets caught fire. 4️⃣ Meme coin Maxi Doge ($MAXI) has surged past $3.7 million in presale funding, with whales and retail traders alike viewing it as the next high-momentum play alongside $WLFI and $GME. First, US President Donald Trump pardons Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, also known as CZ. Next, Gamestop drops a mocking, press-release-style announcement declaring the end of the console wars. Then, the White House (yes, that one) pushes a pic of Donald Trump as Halo’s Master Chief. All fun and games, or is there something brewing underneath it all? In the wake of the tweets, $WLFI’s trading volume briefly spiked to $220M before falling back below $200M. Will CZ’s restoration push $WLFI even higher on the back of Trump’s support? Time for a closer look at what’s going on, and why meme coin upstart Maxi Doge ($MAXI) could take off. CZ + Binance + MGX = WLFI It’s no secret that CZ had lobbied for the pardon for years. It’s also no secret that Binance has been a key player in negotiations between MGX – the Abu Dhabi-based investment company that sank $2B into USD1, World Liberty Financial’s stablecoin – and WLFI. That deal probably generates significant amounts (around $50M per year) of income for World Liberty Financial based on yield from treasury notes. Regardless of the gory details of the deal between MGX and WLFI, Binance’s role is clear. And now, with CZ cleared and a potential return to Binance possible, Trump’s World Liberty Financial has (re)gained an important ally. But what about GameStop? GameStop + Halo = Memes, Evolved The original title for Halo – back in the halcyon days of 2004 – was ‘Halo: Combat Evolved.’ GameStop remembers those days and decided to remind everyone of them in a probably unserious press release on X. Fair play on GameStop, which knows its memes and popular culture. The ‘PR’ jokingly refers to the end of the console wars, the decades-long competition over which company and console would launch the biggest games (and draw the most players). Halo, released initially on Xbox, is finally arriving on PlayStation in 2026. Two decades+ later, but finally full circle. Enter Donald Trump’s social media team at the White House, who saw an opportunity and took it: Why the shout-out? That’s where the details end and the speculation begins: Could Barron Trump, whose stake in the World Liberty fortune probably amounts to nearly $150M, be looking for a new place to invest? Would GameStop work? Could GameStop seek further support from Trump’s White House? Is the move merely a distraction, taking away from the ongoing shutdown? There’s no way to tell. Regardless, GameStop is honoring Halo, and then the White House’s response. However, as it sets up for the biggest crypto presales of 2025 to achieve immediate success, Max Doge. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – Lift, Pump, Repeat for Maximum Doge Gains Barron Trump is 6’8” tall. He stands out in a crowd, just like Maxi Doge ($MAXI) intends to do in the $40B dog-themed meme coin market. What is Maxi Doge? It’s a pure meme coin. No utility, no real-world application, no problem; it’s all about relentless marketing and the meme coin momentum shared with Maxi’s better-known sibling, Dogecoin ($DOGE). Why would anyone look twice at $MAXI? Because while it’s a simple project, there’s a real vibe there. Over $3.7M has poured into the $MAXI presale, headlined by two major whale buys of $314K each. The project supports the presale with a tokenomics structure that allocates a full 40% of available tokens to marketing opportunities. During the presale, investors can stake their purchases for an additional 80% APY. If that sounds like a win, you can learn how to buy and stake $MAXI with our guide. Our price prediction for Maxi Doge suggests the token could potentially climb from $0.000265 to $0.0058, generating 2088% returns for investors who get in now. To avoid missing out, check out the $MAXI presale page for the latest information. What will CZ do now that he’s been pardoned? And where will WLFI go from here? The token is already up 10% for the week, with a 24-hour trading volume of around $176M; will it make further moves in the future? Watch $MAXI, $GME, and $WLFI for more crypto craziness and potentially game-changing moves. As always, do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

IBM Launches “Digital Asset Haven” to Help Banks and Governments Enter into Crypto
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 04:48 PM
Bitcoin Magazine IBM Launches “Digital Asset Haven” to Help Banks and Governments Enter into Crypto IBM announced a platform designed to help financial institutions, governments, and large corporations securely manage their crypto and blockchain-based assets, like bitcoin. The platform, developed in collaboration with crypto wallet provider Dfns, combines IBM’s infrastructure and security expertise with Dfns’ institutional-grade custody and wallet technology. At its core, Digital Asset Haven wants to simplify what has long been a tricky and complex landscape for institutions. Many banks and governments have been cautious about crypto because it involves multiple blockchains, regulatory hurdles, and security risks. IBM’s platform wants to change this and consolidate these moving parts, offering a single solution. The partnership with Dfns is central to the platform. Dfns has built more than 15 million wallets for over 250 clients, focusing on secure and compliant operations. By combining this with IBM’s high-assurance infrastructure, Digital Asset Haven is meant to provide institutions with the same reliability and governance standards that traditional financial systems offer. That includes multi-party approvals, policy-driven governance, and support for cold storage, where crypto keys are kept offline for maximum security. IBM’s support for 40 blockchains The platform also supports more than 40 blockchains, both public and private, giving institutions flexibility to engage with a wide range of digital assets, from traditional cryptocurrencies to emerging stablecoins and tokenized assets. It integrates third-party services for identity verification, anti-money laundering checks, and yield generation, and offers developer-friendly APIs to enable further customization and innovation. “This is more than custody,” said Clarisse Hagège, CEO of Dfns. “We’ve built a platform that orchestrates the full digital asset ecosystem, moving digital assets from pilot programs to production at a global scale.” Tom McPherson, General Manager of IBM Z and LinuxONE, emphasized that the platform brings IBM’s signature resilience and data governance to the emerging digital asset space, helping institutions explore new products without compromising on security or compliance. The launch comes at a time when regulated digital assets are gaining momentum. Stablecoins, for example, have become increasingly used in payments following the U.S. adoption of legislation earlier this year, and major banks are exploring blockchain-based money transfers.

Fed Week Drama: Will Bitcoin Fall First and Explode Later?

Bitcoin holds $115K after breakout. Traders eye $111K–$113K pullback zone before a possible move to new ATHs as dormant BTC reactivates.
Gold slides from ATH while Bitcoin rebounds — are investors shifting back to risk assets?
BitRSSOct 27, 2025, 04:31 PM
Bitcoin is on a five-day recovery streak while Gold continues to pull back from its all-time high. The contrasting moves signal a potential shift in market sentiment, with traders easing out of safe-haven positioning and returning to higher-risk assets.
Fed Week Drama: Will Bitcoin Fall First and Explode Later?
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 04:30 PM
Bitcoin continues to trade above $115,000 after breaking a key resistance in the past few days. With the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting approaching, attention has shifted to a potential pullback. Traders are watching the $111K–$113K area as a possible support zone. The current setup could offer a new entry before the next leg up. BTC Holds Above Breakout Zone Bitcoin crossed the $112,000 level late last week, breaking through a resistance level that had held for several weeks. Michaël van de Poppe commented, “The $112K marked the tipping point for me.” Over the past 24 hours, though, BTC has remained steady in the $115,000 range. Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X If the asset retraces in the short term, the $111,000–$113,000 zone is expected to be tested. This range is now viewed as support after acting as resistance during the recent move up. Market participants are watching this level closely ahead of the FOMC announcement. Notably, the next resistance sits between $119,500 and $120,000. If Bitcoin can move through this area, it may challenge its previous all-time high near $124,100. Some traders expect this to happen in early November. Ted stated, “Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $118,000 zone, and a new ATH could happen in 1–2 weeks.” BTC has also closed above its 20-week moving average, which is viewed as a longer-term trend marker, according to Benjamin Cowen. CME Futures Gap Near Support A price gap has formed on the CME Bitcoin Futures chart between $111,800 and $113,800. The move followed a weekend rally after reports of progress in US–China trade discussions. These gaps appear when Bitcoin trades outside CME market hours. Daan Crypto Trades noted, “These have been getting closed within a few days,” but added that he only watches them closely when the price nears the zone. Bitcoin is currently within 2–3% of the gap, making it a point of interest for short-term traders. On-Chain Cost Zones Hold Bitcoin is trading above wallet entry levels for new and short-term holders. These include cost basis levels between $110,000 and $113,000. Staying above them puts many recent buyers in profit. CryptoQuant analyst Crazzyblockk reported that nearly 7 million BTC are now back in profit. This includes 5.1 million held by wallets under six months and another 1.8 million by newer participants. Profitability at this scale tends to increase holding strength and reduce early selling pressure. Moreover, in 2025, long-term Bitcoin holders are becoming active again. As CryptoPotato recently reported, data shows that 270,000 BTC, previously untouched for over seven years, have moved this year. That number has already passed 2024’s full-year figure of 255,000 BTC and is far above 2023’s 59,000 BTC—with two months still to go.

Bitcoin continues to trade above $115,000 after breaking a key resistance in the past few days. With the Federal Reserve’s next policy meeting approaching, attention has shifted to a potential pullback. Traders are watching the $111K–$113K area as a possible support zone. The current setup could offer a new entry before the next leg up. BTC Holds Above Breakout Zone Bitcoin crossed the $112,000 level late last week, breaking through a resistance level that had held for several weeks. Michaël van de Poppe commented, “The $112K marked the tipping point for me.” Over the past 24 hours, though, BTC has remained steady in the $115,000 range. Source: Michaël van de Poppe/X If the asset retraces in the short term, the $111,000–$113,000 zone is expected to be tested. This range is now viewed as support after acting as resistance during the recent move up. Market participants are watching this level closely ahead of the FOMC announcement. Notably, the next resistance sits between $119,500 and $120,000. If Bitcoin can move through this area, it may challenge its previous all-time high near $124,100. Some traders expect this to happen in early November. Ted stated, “Bitcoin needs to reclaim the $118,000 zone, and a new ATH could happen in 1–2 weeks.” BTC has also closed above its 20-week moving average, which is viewed as a longer-term trend marker, according to Benjamin Cowen.

Bitcoin Profitability On The Rise — More Coins Back In The Green As Market Recovers
BitCoinistOct 27, 2025, 04:30 PM
The recent drop in Bitcoin’s price following a market crash appears to have reached its end, as the flagship cryptocurrency asset surges back above the $113,000 once again. While the price of BTC has turned bullish and has recovered from its downward trend, investors are starting to record significant gains from their holdings or positions. Percentage Of Supply In Profit-Elevating With the Bitcoin price back above the $113,000 level, the market is beginning to shift towards a more bullish outlook for both investors and traders. After the recent surge, there is now a resurgence in the number of BTC holdings in profit. Darkfost, a market expert and CryptoQuant author, reported that the percentage of Bitcoin’s total supply in profit is once again trending upward, signaling a gradual recovery in market sentiment. Specifically, this implies that more coins are currently moving back into profitable territory, which is a sign that investor confidence is gradually returning to the market. While the broader crypto market is still volatile, Darkfost highlighted that the percentage of BTC supply in profit can be a crucial Indicator of market heat. This is because this key metric will help determine whether the market is overheating or not. The expert stated that it is crucial not to assume that a majority of the supply being in profit is negative, but quite the opposite. In the past, a higher number of profitable investors has typically indicated a strong market since holders typically stick with their investments in hopes of future returns. Data shows that the percentage of supply in profit has now increased to 83.6%, a level that can be interpreted as encouraging. A reason for this is that investors are once more prepared to hang onto their Bitcoin in anticipation of future gains. Will The Market Enter An Overheated Phase? According to Darkfost, this kind of behavior is a healthy one, which could help rebuild momentum. However, since the metric typically indicates overheated market circumstances, it will be important to keep a careful eye on it when it crosses back above 95%. Typically, BTC has had phases of growth when the supply in profit hits 85% to 90%. On the other hand, a period of late entrants who purchased close to local tops has coincided with every significant correction in profit. During the most recent corrections, a clear pattern has emerged. The market often enters an overheated phase and experiences a correction whenever the profit margin’s supply exceeds 95%. Furthermore, these corrections frequently reach their lowest point around the 75% mark. More specifically, the metric was 73% in September 2024, 76% in April 2024, and 81% most recently. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin was trading at $115,933, due to a nearly 4% increase in the last 24 hours. Investors appear to be betting big on BTC once again, as indicated by its more than 103% in the past day.

IBM to Enter Crypto with Institutional Client Custody Platform
BeInCryptoOct 27, 2025, 04:24 PM
IBM is launching a crypto platform thanks to a partnership with a digital wallet infrastructure builder. The “Digital Asset Haven” will handle custody, transactions, settlements, and more for institutional clients. Although IBM hasn’t shown much interest in digital assets in the past, the sector is growing explosively. The firm may retain some of its previous skepticism, yet this project is a useful attempt to enter the field. IBM Enters Crypto IBM, a massive technical and industrial research firm, has been interested in Web3 for many years. The firm filed hundreds of blockchain patents in 2019 alone, but many of its relevant products proved non-viable in the ensuing years. However, IBM is taking another crack at the industry with a new interest in crypto. According to a recent press release, IBM is launching a “Digital Asset Haven, a major crypto custody solution. This platform is intended for institutional clients like corporations or government actors, and it will handle everything from custody and transactions to settlements, all under regulatory compliance: “With IBM Digital Asset Haven, our clients have the opportunity to enter and expand into the digital asset space backed by IBM’s level of security and reliability. This new, unified platform delivers the resilience and data governance they have been asking for,” Tom McPherson, General Manager at IBM Z and LinuxONE. IBM claims that this new crypto platform will be operational, at least as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) subscription, by the end of 2025. It further stated that an “on-premises” launch will take place in Q2 2026. However, it didn’t clarify how this will differ from the previous incarnation. Regardless of IBM’s plans for this crypto platform, the firm has built a solid partnership to develop the technology. It’s teaming up with Dfns, a French firm that specializes in digital wallet infrastructure. This company has created 15 million wallets for 250+ clients, but IBM’s infrastructure could take its expertise to the next level. Long-Running Skepticism? Additionally, this project may serve as a way for IBM to hedge its bets on crypto. The firm has shown far more interest in blockchain and AI than crypto over the years; earlier this month, its CTO told BeInCrypto that he was concerned about quantum attacks on Bitcoin. Nonetheless, IBM’s press release claimed that “institutions will need to evolve” due to rising crypto adoption and TradFi integration. Whether or not any of the company’s previous concerns turn out to be valid, this platform could be a useful way to test the waters. If the firm doesn’t make any commitments to crypto, its competitors could leave it in the dust. With the Digital Asset Haven, IBM will have the opportunity to remain relevant in the field.

CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 03:57 PM

Crypto.com Wants to Become A Real Life Bank: Here’s There Plan

Crypto.com has submitted its application to become a national trust bank. The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) will regulate it.

One Bitcoin a Day: Prenetics Raises $48M to Accelerate Bitcoin Treasury Strategy
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 03:38 PM
Bitcoin Magazine One Bitcoin a Day: Prenetics Raises $48M to Accelerate Bitcoin Treasury Strategy Does one bitcoin a day keep the doctor away? Prenetics Global Limited (NASDAQ: PRE), a Hong Kong-based health sciences company, announced today the successful pricing of a public equity offering expected to generate approximately $48 million in gross proceeds, with the potential to raise up to $216 million if all accompanying warrants are exercised. The capital raise is intended to support the expansion of its supplement brand, IM8, while bolstering Prenetics’ Bitcoin treasury strategy. The company has a disciplined Bitcoin accumulation plan, purchasing one bitcoin per day since August 1, 2025, and currently holds approximately 275 BTC, valued at $31 million as of October 27. Prenetics said the offering attracted a distinguished group of institutional and individual investors, including major crypto platforms and financial firms such as Kraken, Exodus (NYSE: EXOD), GPTX by Bitcoin mining pioneer Jihan Wu, American Ventures LLC, XtalPi (2228.HK), DL Holdings (1709.HK), and Mythos Group, among others. The offering, led by sole placement agent Dominari Securities LLC, consists of 2,992,596 Class A ordinary shares and/or pre-funded warrants, along with Class A and Class B warrants exercisable for up to 5,985,192 additional shares. The Class A warrants carry an exercise price of $24.12 — 50% above the offering price of $16.08 — while the Class B warrants are exercisable at $32.16, or a 100% premium. Both warrants are immediately exercisable upon issuance and have five-year terms. High-profile strategic investors like Aryna Sabalenka, the world No. 1 tennis player, and Adrian Cheng, a prominent Asian entrepreneur, also increased their stakes in the company. David Beckham is also a prominent backer. Prenetics’ supplement brand IM8 hit $100 million ARR in 11 months and aims for $180–$200 million in 2026 within the $704 billion global market, the company said. CEO Danny Yeung highlighted the company’s dual focus on health supplements and cryptocurrency. “IM8 has huge global potential, evidenced already by our extraordinary traction across multiple markets. We’re particularly honored to have the backing of a distinguished group of new and existing strategic investors who share our confidence in our dual-engine strategy,” Yeung said. Bitcoin accumulation: One bitcoin per day As mentioned earlier, Prenetics has a Bitcoin accumulation plan, purchasing one bitcoin per day since August 1, 2025, and currently holds approximately 275 BTC, valued at $31 million as of October 27. Financially, Prenetics will hold roughly $100 million in cash post-offering, bringing its total liquidity — including Bitcoin holdings — to around $131 million. The company also plans to review and divest non-core business units to focus resources on IM8 and Bitcoin initiatives. The offering is expected to close on or around October 28, 2025, pending customary conditions. Prenetics positions itself as pursuing a bold long-term ambition: to reach $1 billion in annual revenue alongside $1 billion in Bitcoin holdings within the next five years, combining health supplement growth with cryptocurrency accumulation as a cornerstone of its corporate strategy. IM8’s operational performance underscores the brand’s subscription-driven growth model, with more than 12 million servings shipped to over 420,000 customer orders across 31 countries. Average order values have risen from $110 to $145 following the launch of IM8’s Daily Ultimate Longevity product, reflecting strong consumer demand for premium offerings.

Mt Gox Crypto Repayment Delayed Again: Another Year of Waiting or a Blessing in Disguise for BTC Price?
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 03:30 PM
The Mt Gox crypto saga continues to stretch on, as Japan’s defunct Bitcoin crypto exchange has officially pushed back its creditor repayment deadline by yet another year. Nobuaki Kobayashi, the court-appointed rehabilitation trustee, confirmed on October 27, 2025, that repayments (Originally expected by October 31, 2025) will now be due by October 31, 2026. With over 34.689 BTC (worth about $ 4 billion) still locked, this marks the fourth extension in the long, frustrating road to compensation. But is this merely another delay, or could it secretly be bullish for BTC price as supply remains frozen for another year? Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time What Was Mt Gox, and How Did It Become the Biggest BTC Crypto Disaster? Long before FTX or Celsius ever made headlines, Mt. Gox was the beating heart of the early Bitcoin crypto market. Founded in 2010 by Mark Karpeles in Tokyo, it began as a trading site for Magic: The Gathering cards before pivoting to crypto. By 213, Mt. Gox was processing over 70% of all global BTC transactions, making it the largest exchange in the world. In the early days of crypto, Mt. Gox achieved absolute dominance by processing over 70% of global Bitcoin transactions. But… It took 3 years for Mt. Gox to lose over 744,408 $BTC worth over $21Bn today.

Gox got hacked, resulting in the loss of a staggering 850,000 BTC, worth billions today. The breach exposed major security flaws and sent shockwaves through the young crypto industry. The exchange filed for bankruptcy shortly after, leaving over 20.000 creaditors stranded and setting the stage for a decade-long legal and logistical nightmare that still lingers today. DISCOVER: 16+ New and Upcoming Binance Listings in 2025 How Did the Mt Gox Hack Turn Into a Decade-Long Repayment Saga? After its collapse, the rehabilitation process began in 2018, led by trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi. He recovered about 200.000 BTC, marking one of the most significant asset recoveries in crypto history.

The first repayment target was initially set for October 2023, but was subsequently extended to 2024, 2025, and now to 2026. According to Kobayashi’s latest statement, thousands of creditors have yet to complete procedural steps, including documentation verification and anti-money laundering checks. To date, around 19,500 creditors have received payments, but many more remain stuck in limbo. This history of postponements has become emblematic of crypto’s early chaos, teaching exchanges hard lessons that shaped today’s stronger custody standards, regulatory framework, and proof-of-reserves systems. DISCOVER: 15+ Upcoming Coinbase Listings to Watch in 2025 What Does the New Mt Gox Repayment Delay Mean for BTC Price and the Market? The most recent delay may frustrate creditors, but it’s being seen as a short-term bullish signal for Bitcoin. By postponing repayments until October 2026, the release of $4Bn in BTC back into circulation is delayed, effectively removing a primary near-term source of selling pressure. Analysts note that if these coins had been listed on exchanges now, some holders might have cashed out immediately, creating a sharp (albeit temporary) drop in the BTC price. BREAKING: MT.

DISCOVER: 10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2025 Could This Be the Final Delay, or Will Mt Gox Keep Haunting the Market? While Kobayashi insists the extra year will “ensure all eligible creditors can be repaid,” history suggests caution. Bureaucratic slowdowns, legal disputes, and technical bottlenecks have plagued the process since day one. Many in the crypto community remain skeptical that 2026 will truly mark the end of the Mt. Gox repayment saga. Yet there’s a silver lining: with Bitcoin adoption higher than ever, each passing year makes this old wound less relevant to market fundamentals. If repayment concludes smoothly (or even partially) without sparking major sell-offs, it could finally close one of crypto’s darkest chapters.

Gox got hacked, resulting in the loss of a staggering 850,000 BTC, worth billions today. The breach exposed major security flaws and sent shockwaves through the young crypto industry. The exchange filed for bankruptcy shortly after, leaving over 20.000 creaditors stranded and setting the stage for a decade-long legal and logistical nightmare that still lingers today.

According to Kobayashi’s latest statement, thousands of creditors have yet to complete procedural steps, including documentation verification and anti-money laundering checks. To date, around 19,500 creditors have received payments, but many more remain stuck in limbo.

The most recent delay may frustrate creditors, but it’s being seen as a short-term bullish signal for Bitcoin.

Analysts note that if these coins had been listed on exchanges now, some holders might have cashed out immediately, creating a sharp (albeit temporary) drop in the BTC price. BREAKING: MT.

Essential Crypto Tax Software Features: 2025 Feature Guide
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 03:28 PM
Over the past decade, the cryptocurrency market has grown from a pennies-worth ecosystem into a trillion-dollar industry. This is unsurprising as the market has won the hearts of retail investors, deep-pocketed individuals, institutional firms, wealth funds, and even governments. However, with many people making money from the industry, government authorities around the world have seen the need to impose taxes on crypto. Each country has its crypto tax guidelines that users must comply with. Most tax authorities mandate taxpayers to create and submit accurate tax reports showing their crypto transactions throughout the tax year. But compiling these can be difficult, especially for those who frequently engage with crypto. What’s the best solution? Crypto tax software tools. This article highlights five top software tools that you can choose from regardless of your location. We also highlighted essential crypto tax software features that will guide your choice. Key Takeaways: Crypto taxation has now become completely mainstream and unavoidable. Get ahead or overpay in taxes. Manual reporting is not only outdated, but also risky. Avoid penalties and overpayments. 2025 and 2026 bring new US reporting requirements. Choosing the right crypto tax software depends heavily on your activity level. Automation, security, and compliance are pretty much non-negotiable. Understanding Crypto Taxes As we embark on a quest to understand the essential features of crypto tax software, it is crucial to first establish a solid understanding of what crypto taxes entail and how they impact traders and businesses investing in the cryptocurrency asset industry. It is common knowledge that governments impose levies, known as taxes, on individuals and businesses, which are usually channeled into financing public expenditures and funding various socio-economic initiatives. Similarly, cryptocurrency traders and investors are also subject to paying tax on their crypto asset transactions, including capital gains tax on profits from buying and selling cryptocurrencies. Apart from countries like El Salvador, many prominent nations around the world are currently implementing their own policies on crypto taxes. For instance, in the United States, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) considers crypto as a digital asset and treats it in the same manner as stocks, bonds, and other capital assets. Hence, the country imposes taxes on both short-term and long-term gains. In the United Kingdom, the HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) considers crypto as property and imposes a fee on crypto gains above a £6,000 ($8,020) exemption. Meanwhile, the National Tax Agency (NTA) and the Ministry of Finance in Japan view crypto gains as miscellaneous income and treat them as taxable income. In Canada, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) classifies crypto gains as either capital gains or business income, depending on whether they are generated under capital or business income. In Germany, the Federal Ministry of Finance (Bundesministerium der Finanzen) imposes tax on profits generated from crypto assets sold within a year, but not on crypto assets held for more than a year. Africa is also not left out. Nations like Nigeria, South Africa, and Kenya have either introduced or are working on policies that will treat cryptocurrencies as taxable activities. Starting January 2026, Nigerians will pay tax on profits gained from crypto trades, and exchanges will be required to submit reports on users’ activities for tax purposes. On the other hand, South Africa already taxes crypto transactions under normal income tax rules, and the taxman expects taxpayers to declare their crypto assets. Criteria for Crypto Taxes Given the tax policies on crypto assets in several countries, does this imply that the government will levy taxes on every single crypto-related activity, including buying, selling, trading, and holding crypto assets? No! Certain specific exemptions and thresholds apply. For instance, buying and holding small quantities of crypto assets for personal use does not incur a tax fee in most countries. In some regions, individuals are also not required to pay tax for receiving or giving out crypto assets as gifts, inheriting from families, or donating crypto to Non-Governmental Authorities (NGOs) or a tax-exempt charity. However, below are some of the following cases where crypto investors must pay tax on transactions: Buying and selling crypto assets for fiat currencies like USD or EUR. Exchanging crypto assets for another, e.g., Bitcoin for Ethereum. Receiving or using cryptocurrency to purchase goods or services. Earning cryptocurrency through mining or staking: In this case, individuals are charged based on the current market value of the crypto asset. Receiving salary in crypto: This will be charged based on the individual’s income tax rate. Crypto received from airdrops (a promotional offer or giveaway by a crypto project) or forks (a blockchain split that creates new coins for existing holders). How Does Crypto Tax Software Work? As we have established, crypto taxes are mandatory in most countries. Yet, navigating this complex landscape can be a daunting task, regardless of your experience level. Whether you’re new to crypto, an experienced investor, or a DeFi expert, manually compiling and calculating your crypto taxes can be an arduous, time-consuming, and error-prone process. This is especially true when juggling multiple accounts across various exchanges and wallets. This is precisely where crypto tax software offers a much-needed solution, streamlining the process, saving you time, and reducing the risk of errors. Crypto tax software is a tool or platform designed to help individuals and businesses compile, calculate, and report their cryptocurrency taxes accurately. The calculation covers all crypto transactions, including buying, selling, mining, etc. How Does This Software Work? First, the user links their exchange or wallet to their preferred crypto tax software. Then, the platform extracts the user’s transaction history through the Application Programming Interface (API) after the user provides their API keys. Alternatively, the user can upload their data using Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format, especially if it’s from a self-custodial wallet. Next, the software tracks the user’s transactions and categorizes them into buying, selling, trading, and transfers. Following that, the app calculates the user’s capital gains and losses based on the transaction data by leveraging market data from trusted sources to accurately determine the market value of their cryptocurrencies at the time of each transaction. Based on the user’s tax filing status and existing tax laws, the software calculates their tax liabilities from their gains and losses, then compiles the data into detailed tax reports and summaries. The software then allows the user to review the report for mistakes and provides an avenue to edit and adjust any errors. If everything is accurate, the user can then submit the generated tax reports to the relevant tax authorities. Crypto tax software platforms not only compile your crypto transactions into tax reports, but also help track your portfolio in real time. In addition, they offer audit support and tax planning guidance, including features like tax-loss harvesting, to help minimize your taxable income. What’s new for crypto tax reporting in 2025 and what to expect going into 2026? In 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) continues treating cryptocurrencies as property – not as currency. This means that gains and losses are taxed in a similar way to stocks and real estate. In other words, if you sell, trade, convert, or even use crypto, you will typically have a taxable event. Form 1099-DA From January 2025 Starting on January 1st, 2025, crypto brokers and exchanges must issue a new form (Form 1099-DA). It reports gross proceeds from digital asset sales and exchanges. From January 2026: The same Form 1099-DA will also require reporting of cost basis. In other words, the purchase price together with fees. What this means for regular users: Many of us are likely to receive new reporting documents from exchanges. Additionally, the IRS will have more visibility into our crypto transactions. Wallet-by-wallet cost basis tracking The IRS is shifting away from a “universal pool” or the aggregated tracking of assets across wallets and exchanges. Starting in 2025, you may also need to track the cost basis and your gains per wallet or per account in accordance with Form 1099-DA. Repeal of some broker-reporting requirements in DeFi In April 2025, there was a bill signed into law, which nullified the requirement for certain DeFi platforms to have to act as “brokers” and to report transactions to the IRS under the previous rule. For regular users, this means that some peer-to-peer platforms might carry less reporting duty than before. Tax deadlines and rates Despite the new forms and reporting requirements mentioned above, the main tax deadline and rates remain the same—you have until April 15th to file your taxes. What are the Essential Crypto Tax Software Features? With a multitude of crypto tax software platforms available in the market, investors may find it overwhelming to choose the right one. There are several crypto tax software platforms with a diverse range of options, each catering to specific needs. Therefore, a crypto investor needs to identify their individual requirements and priorities. Whether you’re a casual investor or a seasoned trader, understanding what features matter most to you will help you navigate the market and select a platform that accurately meets your needs, whether that’s ease of use, advanced portfolio management, DeFi tracking, or professional support. When sourcing for a crypto tax software tool to suit your needs best, there are several features to look out for. They include: Support for local tax laws: When choosing a crypto tax software, users must check for platforms that support their country of residence. While some software tools like Koinly and TokenTax may offer multi-country support for individuals, others like TaxBit provide services primarily for EU and US users. Exchange, wallet, and blockchain integration: This is another essential feature to look out for. Ensure that the crypto tax software you plan to use supports and can seamlessly connect with the various cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, and blockchain networks you use. This feature facilitates automatic import of transaction history, seamless tracking of holdings and transactions, and accurate calculation of tax liabilities. Security and data protection: The importance of security can never be overemphasized, especially in the crypto industry. Before choosing a crypto tax software tool, ensure that the platform has robust encryption, two-factor authentication, and secure servers to protect your sensitive financial information and cryptocurrency data from unauthorized access, breaches, or losses. A reputable crypto tax platform must adhere to industry-standard security protocols, such as SSL/TLS encryption, and maintain a strong track record of protecting user data. Compliance with local tax rules: It is essential to confirm that your crypto tax software tool complies with your local tax laws, regulations, and reporting requirements. Considering this feature will help you get accurate calculations of tax liabilities, generate necessary tax forms, and help you file taxes correctly, without the risk of audits, penalties, or fines. In addition, ensure the platform stays up-to-date with changing tax laws in case specific tax regulations are revised. Support for your transaction type: Each trader can choose to be involved in only one or more aspects of the crypto sector. This can include buying, selling, trading, staking, lending, etc. It is essential to confirm if your crypto tax platform can take into account the complexities of each transaction type and accurately handle and generate accurate tax reports for various kinds of cryptocurrency transactions. Integration with accounting tools: Seamless integration with certain accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, etc, means that your transactions will sync automatically with traditional financial records. This is very important because it eliminates manual data entry, reduces the possibilities for human errors, and provides a unified view of your overall finances. AI reconciliation for missing trades: AI-powered reconciliation can detect gaps in transaction history by automatically cross-referencing wallet, exchange, and blockchain data. It can identify missing trades or mismatched records to help you ensure complete accuracy when filing your taxes. Automatic wash-trade detection: This feature identifies transactions where the assets are sold and repurchased within very short periods and, hence, disallows losses that aren’t tax-deductible under IRS rules. Practical tips for choosing the best crypto tax software By now, you probably understand quite a bit, but of course, you don’t need to opt in for a tax software that has all of these features. Here are five practical and expert tips for choosing the best solution. Match the tool with your activity level. The more exchanges and wallets you use, the more advanced your tool should be. This also means that you are going to pay a higher fee, but that’s only natural. On the other hand, if you are not as active, there is no need for you to opt in for all of the fancy features and you can save up some money. Prioritize compliance for your own country. This is especially true with the new U.S. Form 1099-DA reporting and the wallet-by-wallet cost basis rules that kicked in at the beginning of 2025. Check data import methods. Again, this should be tailored to your own abilities. If you aren’t comfortable working with APIs, use a tool that allows you to import a simple CSV table. Ensure strong data security. Your choice should have some basic security features, which include encryption and 2FA. On a more thorough level, you should look for GDPR-compliant data handling, especially if you are in the European Union. Consider some addons. Many of the tools that we cover offer services on demand, meaning that you don’t necessarily have to buy them. However, some of these “addons” can save you a lot of money. For instance, features like tax-loss harvesting and CPA support might be well worth their money in certain cases.

The IRS (as well as most other international tax authorities) do not require you to report your crypto purchases on your tax return if you haven’t sold or if you haven’t otherwise disposed of them. How long do I have to hold crypto to avoid taxes? If you hold your crypto for more than a year after you purchase it, you would owe long-term capital gains. Now, depending on your broader taxable income and jurisdiction, that would mean that you owe 0%, 15%, 20%, or more in taxes. How do I avoid capital gains on crypto? Avoiding capital gains on crypto legally is possible, but challenging without expertise. Therefore, you should start by hiring a crypto-specialized CPA, using a crypto tax software, and keeping very careful record of your activities.

Then, you need to always cover your crypto taxes. Using crypto tax software makes the process easy, fast, and accurate.

Then, the platform extracts the user’s transaction history through the Application Programming Interface (API) after the user provides their API keys. Alternatively, the user can upload their data using Comma-Separated Values (CSV) format, especially if it’s from a self-custodial wallet. Next, the software tracks the user’s transactions and categorizes them into buying, selling, trading, and transfers. Following that, the app calculates the user’s capital gains and losses based on the transaction data by leveraging market data from trusted sources to accurately determine the market value of their cryptocurrencies at the time of each transaction. Based on the user’s tax filing status and existing tax laws, the software calculates their tax liabilities from their gains and losses, then compiles the data into detailed tax reports and summaries. The software then allows the user to review the report for mistakes and provides an avenue to edit and adjust any errors. If everything is accurate, the user can then submit the generated tax reports to the relevant tax authorities. Crypto tax software platforms not only compile your crypto transactions into tax reports, but also help track your portfolio in real time. In addition, they offer audit support and tax planning guidance, including features like tax-loss harvesting, to help minimize your taxable income. What’s new for crypto tax reporting in 2025 and what to expect going into 2026? In 2025, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) continues treating cryptocurrencies as property – not as currency. This means that gains and losses are taxed in a similar way to stocks and real estate. In other words, if you sell, trade, convert, or even use crypto, you will typically have a taxable event. Form 1099-DA From January 2025 Starting on January 1st, 2025, crypto brokers and exchanges must issue a new form (Form 1099-DA). It reports gross proceeds from digital asset sales and exchanges. From January 2026: The same Form 1099-DA will also require reporting of cost basis. In other words, the purchase price together with fees. What this means for regular users: Many of us are likely to receive new reporting documents from exchanges. Additionally, the IRS will have more visibility into our crypto transactions. Wallet-by-wallet cost basis tracking The IRS is shifting away from a “universal pool” or the aggregated tracking of assets across wallets and exchanges. Starting in 2025, you may also need to track the cost basis and your gains per wallet or per account in accordance with Form 1099-DA. Repeal of some broker-reporting requirements in DeFi In April 2025, there was a bill signed into law, which nullified the requirement for certain DeFi platforms to have to act as “brokers” and to report transactions to the IRS under the previous rule. For regular users, this means that some peer-to-peer platforms might carry less reporting duty than before. Tax deadlines and rates Despite the new forms and reporting requirements mentioned above, the main tax deadline and rates remain the same—you have until April 15th to file your taxes. What are the Essential Crypto Tax Software Features? With a multitude of crypto tax software platforms available in the market, investors may find it overwhelming to choose the right one. There are several crypto tax software platforms with a diverse range of options, each catering to specific needs. Therefore, a crypto investor needs to identify their individual requirements and priorities. Whether you’re a casual investor or a seasoned trader, understanding what features matter most to you will help you navigate the market and select a platform that accurately meets your needs, whether that’s ease of use, advanced portfolio management, DeFi tracking, or professional support. When sourcing for a crypto tax software tool to suit your needs best, there are several features to look out for. They include: Support for local tax laws: When choosing a crypto tax software, users must check for platforms that support their country of residence. While some software tools like Koinly and TokenTax may offer multi-country support for individuals, others like TaxBit provide services primarily for EU and US users. Exchange, wallet, and blockchain integration: This is another essential feature to look out for. Ensure that the crypto tax software you plan to use supports and can seamlessly connect with the various cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, and blockchain networks you use. This feature facilitates automatic import of transaction history, seamless tracking of holdings and transactions, and accurate calculation of tax liabilities. Security and data protection: The importance of security can never be overemphasized, especially in the crypto industry. Before choosing a crypto tax software tool, ensure that the platform has robust encryption, two-factor authentication, and secure servers to protect your sensitive financial information and cryptocurrency data from unauthorized access, breaches, or losses. A reputable crypto tax platform must adhere to industry-standard security protocols, such as SSL/TLS encryption, and maintain a strong track record of protecting user data. Compliance with local tax rules: It is essential to confirm that your crypto tax software tool complies with your local tax laws, regulations, and reporting requirements. Considering this feature will help you get accurate calculations of tax liabilities, generate necessary tax forms, and help you file taxes correctly, without the risk of audits, penalties, or fines. In addition, ensure the platform stays up-to-date with changing tax laws in case specific tax regulations are revised. Support for your transaction type: Each trader can choose to be involved in only one or more aspects of the crypto sector. This can include buying, selling, trading, staking, lending, etc. It is essential to confirm if your crypto tax platform can take into account the complexities of each transaction type and accurately handle and generate accurate tax reports for various kinds of cryptocurrency transactions. Integration with accounting tools: Seamless integration with certain accounting platforms like QuickBooks, Xero, etc, means that your transactions will sync automatically with traditional financial records. This is very important because it eliminates manual data entry, reduces the possibilities for human errors, and provides a unified view of your overall finances. AI reconciliation for missing trades: AI-powered reconciliation can detect gaps in transaction history by automatically cross-referencing wallet, exchange, and blockchain data. It can identify missing trades or mismatched records to help you ensure complete accuracy when filing your taxes. Automatic wash-trade detection: This feature identifies transactions where the assets are sold and repurchased within very short periods and, hence, disallows losses that aren’t tax-deductible under IRS rules. Practical tips for choosing the best crypto tax software By now, you probably understand quite a bit, but of course, you don’t need to opt in for a tax software that has all of these features. Here are five practical and expert tips for choosing the best solution. Match the tool with your activity level. The more exchanges and wallets you use, the more advanced your tool should be. This also means that you are going to pay a higher fee, but that’s only natural. On the other hand, if you are not as active, there is no need for you to opt in for all of the fancy features and you can save up some money. Prioritize compliance for your own country. This is especially true with the new U.S. Form 1099-DA reporting and the wallet-by-wallet cost basis rules that kicked in at the beginning of 2025. Check data import methods. Again, this should be tailored to your own abilities. If you aren’t comfortable working with APIs, use a tool that allows you to import a simple CSV table. Ensure strong data security. Your choice should have some basic security features, which include encryption and 2FA. On a more thorough level, you should look for GDPR-compliant data handling, especially if you are in the European Union. Consider some addons. Many of the tools that we cover offer services on demand, meaning that you don’t necessarily have to buy them. However, some of these “addons” can save you a lot of money. For instance, features like tax-loss harvesting and CPA support might be well worth their money in certain cases.

Crypto tax software vs Manual tax reporting Having discussed crypto tax software at length, you may still wonder if they are really worth the expense. Here is an unbiased comparison between automated crypto tax software and manual tax reporting: Crypto tax software Pros Eliminates human error. Handles complex transactions. Saves you time. Useable without tax expertise. Cons Most services are expensive. Susceptible to a security breach. Relies heavily on only the provided data. Manual tax reporting Pros You retain complete control. Cost-effective Increased privacy. Provides an opportunity to gain deeper financial knowledge. Cons High risk of error. Time-consuming. Lack of real-time insights. Susceptible to inaccuracy. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) What is the best software for crypto taxes? Koinly and CoinLedger are recognized as the best crypto tax software overall. This is because of their user-friendly interface, robust set of integrations, multiple helpful features, and broad support for many different types of cryptocurrency transactions. Other popular options include CoinTracker, CryptoTaxCalculator, and TokenTax. What is needed for crypto taxes? In the US, you need to file Form 8949. You can file as many Forms 8949 as needed to report all transactions. Starting January 2025, your crypto exchange will also issue Form 1099-DA. Do I pay taxes on crypto I never sold? The answer is simple – no. The IRS (as well as most other international tax authorities) do not require you to report your crypto purchases on your tax return if you haven’t sold or if you haven’t otherwise disposed of them. How long do I have to hold crypto to avoid taxes? If you hold your crypto for more than a year after you purchase it, you would owe long-term capital gains. Now, depending on your broader taxable income and jurisdiction, that would mean that you owe 0%, 15%, 20%, or more in taxes. How do I avoid capital gains on crypto? Avoiding capital gains on crypto legally is possible, but challenging without expertise. Therefore, you should start by hiring a crypto-specialized CPA, using a crypto tax software, and keeping very careful record of your activities. Conclusion Tax obligations are responsibilities that must be settled in most countries. Do you want to enjoy your crypto adventure without fear of troubles from tax authorities? Then, you need to always cover your crypto taxes. Using crypto tax software makes the process easy, fast, and accurate. If you decide to choose from those discussed in this article, perform due diligence to ensure you make a well-thought-out decision.

How Trump’s Words Moved Bitcoin: From Panic to Confidence in Just 2 Weeks
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 02:37 PM
October’s anticipated “Uptober” momentum and seasonal bullish expectations appear to have taken a backseat. Instead, US President Donald Trump’s aggressive tariff threats and trade remarks toward China took center stage, and dictated Bitcoin’s sharp price swings and investor emotions throughout the month. BTC Market’s Emotional Rollercoaster Trump’s China-related rhetoric in October 2025 reverberated through Bitcoin’s (BTC) price action and on-chain sentiment, as the asset continues to be sensitive to geopolitical risk. The Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) indicator, which measures aggregate market psychology through unrealized gains and losses, reflected investors’ shifting emotions throughout the month. On October 10, when Trump threatened 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, Bitcoin tumbled by 8.4% to around $104,800. NUPL simultaneously dipped below 0.50, a level historically associated with rising fear and profit-taking. A few days later, as Trump adopted a softer tone on China, Bitcoin recovered toward the mid-$110,000 range while NUPL reflected cautious optimism. However, renewed tensions on October 14, which saw new export controls and port fees, ended up triggering another sell-off, which pushed both BTC price and NUPL lower again. Sentiment began to stabilize only after October 24, when news of Trump’s upcoming summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. Bitcoin climbed above $115,000, and NUPL started to recover. By October 26, reports emerged that Trump might cancel the tariff plan, which further boosted confidence, and NUPL approached 0.52, indicating growing market strength. Pointing to this market volatility and sentiment swings, CryptoQuant stated that geopolitical shocks like Trump’s trade threats don’t just shake prices; they also “reshape market sentiment.” BTC Shorts Liquidated As Bitcoin rebounded, over-leveraged short traders got liquidated. The asset now hovers above the $114,000 support zone, a level that recently acted as a strong area of buyer defense. According to crypto analyst Ted Pillows, the next key step for it is to reclaim the $118,000 zone, which has repeatedly served as short-term resistance throughout October’s choppy trading. A move above this threshold, he suggested, could pave the way for a new all-time high within the next one to two weeks. Not everyone shares the growing optimism. Another market expert, Ali Martinez, for one, warned that the asset could soon face profit-taking pressure, as the TD Sequential indicator has flashed a sell signal on the daily chart – a tool often used to identify potential trend exhaustion.

Sentiment began to stabilize only after October 24, when news of Trump’s upcoming summit with his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping. Bitcoin climbed above $115,000, and NUPL started to recover. By October 26, reports emerged that Trump might cancel the tariff plan, which further boosted confidence, and NUPL approached 0.52, indicating growing market strength. Pointing to this market volatility and sentiment swings, CryptoQuant stated that geopolitical shocks like Trump’s trade threats don’t just shake prices; they also “reshape market sentiment.” BTC Shorts Liquidated As Bitcoin rebounded, over-leveraged short traders got liquidated. The asset now hovers above the $114,000 support zone, a level that recently acted as a strong area of buyer defense. According to crypto analyst Ted Pillows, the next key step for it is to reclaim the $118,000 zone, which has repeatedly served as short-term resistance throughout October’s choppy trading. A move above this threshold, he suggested, could pave the way for a new all-time high within the next one to two weeks. Not everyone shares the growing optimism. Another market expert, Ali Martinez, for one, warned that the asset could soon face profit-taking pressure, as the TD Sequential indicator has flashed a sell signal on the daily chart – a tool often used to identify potential trend exhaustion.

Shiba Inu Looks Weak—But Hides A 2,000% End-Cycle Breakout: Analyst
NewsBTCOct 27, 2025, 02:30 PM
Popular technician Charting Guy (@ChartingGuy) calls Shiba Inu “weak and choppy” and suggests the token may not break out until late in the current crypto cycle. Sharing a weekly Shiba Inu chart, he wrote on Oct. 26, 2025: “SHIB has been weak and choppy all cycle. Won’t do anything until the end imo.” How High Can Shiba Inu Price Go? The below TradingView chart is a weekly SHIB/USD study anchored to a Fibonacci ladder. The price marker on the right rail reads $0.000010205, placing SHIB fractionally below the 0.236 retracement band annotated at $0.000011043. Above that, the chart maps successive overhead levels at 0.382 near $0.000016434, 0.5 around $0.000022661, 0.618 near $0.000031247 and 0.786 at about $0.000049369. The red 1 line flags $0.000088410, with higher extension markers plotted at 1.272 ≈ $0.000185406, 1.414 ≈ $0.000272917 and a terminal 1.618 ≈ $0.000475605. A stylized projection trace on the chart depicts a late-cycle, near-vertical advance that only materializes after a prolonged base and then stalls inside the 1.0–1.272 cluster before breaking above the 1.272 Fib extension and topping below the 1.414 Fib extension roughly at $0.000022; the path visually reinforces the author’s contention that SHIB underperforms until the “end.” In a separate post on Oct. 24, Charting Guy ranked market structures across majors and large-cap altcoins, explicitly placing SHIB in his “Bad Looking Charts” bucket while labeling Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana, BNB and Stellar as “Good Looking Charts.” His list read, in part: “Good Looking Charts: BTC, ETH, XRP, SOL, BNB, XLM … Decent Looking Charts: XDC, DOGE, PENGU, ADA, ONDO, SUI, AAVE, LTC … Eh Looking Charts: PEPE, FLOKI, FLR, LINK, BCH … Bad Looking Charts: SHIB, WIF, ETC, AVAX, FET, RENDER, INJ, CRV, ALGO, SOLO, COREUM, NEAR, VET, COMP, DOT, IOTA, FIL, ATOM, And many more.” What To Expect The technical message is unambiguous: on a weekly timeframe, SHIB remains capped beneath early Fibonacci thresholds that many chartists treat as momentum gates. Remaining below 0.236 typically signals that price has yet to reclaim even the shallowest retracement of the prior cycle; clearing it often opens room to test the 0.382–0.5 midpoint zone where trends either accelerate or fail. In Charting Guy’s map, structurally meaningful inflection areas stack tightly from roughly $0.000016 to $0.000031, with the 0.618 level near $0.000031 attributed the role of a trend-confirmation threshold. The cycle-top roadmap he drew concentrates risk and reward into the higher cluster around $0.000088 to $0.000185, a range often watched by Fibonacci practitioners for exhaustion and distribution in late-stage moves. However, a rise to $0.00022 could still mean an incredible upside for SHIB of around 2,055.81%—a roughly 20.56-fold increase. Contextually, his relative-strength table is just as important as the levels. By grouping SHIB with other “bad looking” structures while upgrading Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and BNB, he is signaling an expectation that market breadth will remain narrow and quality-led before any speculative rotation into meme-beta like SHIB. That framework aligns with his succinct call that SHIB “won’t do anything until the end,” implying a sequencing view rather than a categorical dismissal. At press time, SHIB traded at $0.00001046.

Standard Chartered Says This Could Be the Week Everything Changes for Bitcoin | US Crypto News
BeInCryptoOct 27, 2025, 02:29 PM
Welcome to the US Crypto News Morning Briefing—your essential rundown of the most important developments in crypto for the day ahead. Grab a coffee because this week could quietly redefine the tone of the entire market. Between shifting US-China trade winds, a looming Fed decision, and Bitcoin’s tightening grip above six figures, the mood feels different — almost expectant. Crypto News of the Day: Standard Chartered Says the Week That Decides If Bitcoin Ever Falls Below $100,000 Again Has Begun This could be one of those weeks where the market quietly shifts from uncertainty to conviction. According to Standard Chartered’s Head of Digital Assets Research, Geoff Kendrick, a wave of surprisingly positive US-China developments has turned market sentiment “from fear into hope.” Kendrick highlighted that US Treasury Secretary Bessent signaled an imminent breakthrough over the weekend. He indicated that China is expected to suspend rare earth export controls for a year and increase soybean purchases from the US in exchange for Washington dropping its threatened 100% tariffs. Details of this potential deal will be finalized after the Trump-Xi meeting in Korea later this week. The news has already rippled through the markets, with Bitcoin benefiting from the positive sentiment. In the same tone, the USD-CNH pair has fallen to near year-to-date lows, signaling a stronger yuan and renewed confidence in global trade stability. This easing tension has, in turn, fueled a rebound in Bitcoin’s correlation to risk appetite, as investors rotate away from defensive positions. “The Bitcoin-gold ratio, highlighted last week, continues to push higher,” Kendrick wrote, noting that it now sits just above levels seen before the tariff scare earlier this month. “I’ll watch for this ratio to break back above 30 to signal an end to such fear.” The Week That Could Redefine Bitcoin’s Future For Kendrick, the coming days may mark a critical turning point for Bitcoin and how investors interpret its long-term cycle. He pointed out that over $2 billion exited US gold ETFs last week, suggesting an appetite shift that could soon favor Bitcoin. “It would confirm a more positive backdrop if even half of that re-entered Bitcoin ETFs early this week,” he noted. The broader setup looks equally intriguing. Wednesday’s FOMC meeting is expected to deliver a 25 basis-point rate cut, despite the Fed operating in what Kendrick described as a “data blackout.” It's FOMC week!There's a 96.7% chance the Fed will cut interest rates by 25bps. What’s your prediction? pic.twitter.com/SRVPczDYcL— Lark Davis (@TheCryptoLark) October 27, 2025 He also hinted that growing speculation over the next Fed Chair could prove “Bitcoin positive” if it raises concerns about central bank independence. Add to that, the looming earnings releases from five of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ — Microsoft, Meta, Google, Apple, and Amazon — and the macro calendar looks loaded with catalysts. “This week is about to be pure chaos…the government shutdown is about to hit day 30. The Fed decides rates on Wednesday. Powell speaks right after, during a data blackout. Then, we’ve got Microsoft, Apple, Google, Meta, and Amazon, all reporting earnings. That’s $15.2 trillion in market cap dropping numbers in the same week. And just when you think it’s over… Trump meets President Xi on Thursday, 48 hours before his 100% tariff deadline. Buckle up. This week could move everything,” Mario Nawfal corroborated. Kendrick argues that a fresh Bitcoin all-time high would serve as the “death knell” for those still clinging to the halving cycle as the primary driver of BTC’s value. “ETF flows matter more now…If this week goes well, Bitcoin may never go below $100,000 again,” he said. This statement echoes remarks highlighted in a recent US Crypto News publication. Whether or not that prediction holds, this week’s mix of diplomacy, data, and digital gold could prove decisive for the next phase of Bitcoin’s story. Chart of the Day Bitcoin to Gold Ratio.

Mt. Gox Delays Creditor Repayments Again, Pushes Deadline to 2026
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 02:17 PM
Mt. Gox has extended its repayment deadline by another year to October 31, 2026, marking yet another delay for creditors awaiting restitution from the 2014 collapse. Rehabilitation trustee Nobuaki Kobayashi announced the extension on Monday, citing incomplete procedures and unresolved issues affecting numerous creditors who have not yet received their distributions.The decision comes despite the trustee having largely completed base, early lump-sum, and intermediate repayments for creditors who cleared the necessary verification steps. Many claimants remain without compensation due to procedural delays and complications during the payment process, prompting the court-approved extension to facilitate distributions “to the extent reasonably practicable.”Previous Bitcoin Movements Heighten ExpectationMt. Gox-linked wallets executed a major transaction back on March 6, transferring 11,833.64 BTC worth over $1 billion, according to blockchain analytics firm Arkham Intelligence. The movement saw 166.5 BTC sent to a known cold wallet while the remaining 11,834 BTC moved to an unidentified address.Exchange-related entities still control approximately 36,080 BTC valued at $3.26 billion, down from holdings that once topped 850,000 BTC before the catastrophic 2014 hack. The transaction occurred back then during heightened crypto market volatility triggered by US President Donald Trump’s trade tariffs implemented on March 4, which rattled high-risk assets, including Bitcoin.

Gox shuffle about 1,620 BTC through unknown wallets, weeks after transferring over 24,000 BTC under similar circumstances.

Trump-Backed American Bitcoin Adds 1,414 Bitcoin Amid U.S. Expansion
Bitcoin MagazineOct 27, 2025, 02:10 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Trump-Backed American Bitcoin Adds 1,414 Bitcoin Amid U.S. Expansion American Bitcoin Corp. (Nasdaq: ABTC), a Trump family–backed mining platform, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 3,865 bitcoin, adding 1,414 bitcoin since September through a combination of mining production and secondary market purchases. The Miami-based firm, which describes itself as “America’s Bitcoin infrastructure backbone,” said the latest accumulation includes coins held in custody and those pledged for miner purchases under its ongoing procurement deal with Bitmain. The update continues a rapid expansion trajectory that began earlier this year when Hut 8 spun out its U.S. mining arm as a separate, publicly traded entity. American Bitcoin initially held around 500 BTC at the time of the carve-out, then purchased another 1,726 BTC between July and August for approximately $205 million. Those holdings were pledged to Bitmain as collateral for a $314 million order of 16,299 Antminer U3S21EXPH units — nearly the full 15 EH/s option under the companies’ strategic supply agreement. Most of those machines will be hosted at Hut 8’s new Vega site in Texas, a 400-megawatt facility central to American Bitcoin’s push toward 25 EH/s of proprietary hashrate. “We believe one of the most important measures of success for a Bitcoin accumulation platform is how much Bitcoin backs each share,” said Eric Trump, co-founder and chief strategy officer. “As part of that conviction, we are focused on providing transparent updates as we aim to increase our holdings.” JUST IN: Trump Family-backed BTC miner American Bitcoin acquires 1,414 Bitcoin.They now hold 3,865 Bitcoin pic.twitter.com/21dgPKboOG— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 27, 2025 Executive Chairman Asher Genoot added that American Bitcoin’s integrated mining model allows it to lower its average cost per Bitcoin compared with treasury-style vehicles that buy on the open market. “That structural advantage allows us to compound Bitcoin value per share more efficiently for our investors,” he said.

Bitcoin Magazine Trump-Backed American Bitcoin Adds 1,414 Bitcoin Amid U.S. Expansion American Bitcoin Corp. (Nasdaq: ABTC), a Trump family–backed mining platform, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings to 3,865 bitcoin, adding 1,414 bitcoin since September through a combination of mining production and secondary market purchases. The Miami-based firm, which describes itself as “America’s Bitcoin infrastructure backbone,” said the latest accumulation includes coins held in custody and those pledged for miner purchases under its ongoing procurement deal with Bitmain.

Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $115,000 As Strategy Buys 390 More Bitcoin

Bitcoin Magazine Bitcoin Price Rebounds Above $115,000 As Strategy Buys 390 More Bitcoin Bitcoin’s price surged above $115,000 on Monday as Strategy, the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, announced another significant purchase of Bitcoin. The business intelligence firm acquired 390 BTC between October 20 and October 26, spending approximately $43.4 million at an average price of $111,053 per Bitcoin. According to a Form 8-K filing released today, Strategy’s total Bitcoin holdings have now reached 640,808 BTC, with an aggregate purchase price of $47.44 billion. The company’s average purchase price stands at $74,032 per Bitcoin, including fees and expenses. The latest acquisition was funded through proceeds from Strategy’s At-The-Market (ATM) equity programs, specifically through the issuance of preferred shares under its STRF, STRK, and STRD ATM programs. The company raised a combined total of $43.4 million during the period to finance these purchases. The announcement comes amid a growing trend of companies adopting Bitcoin treasury strategies. Recent data indicates that publicly traded companies now hold over $110 billion worth of Bitcoin, with Strategy alone accounting for approximately $74 billion of that total. BREAKING: STRATEGY BUYS ANOTHER 390 #BITCOIN FOR $43.4 MILLION pic.twitter.com/0pjWpC1Syh— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 27, 2025 The emergence of Bitcoin treasury companies has accelerated notably in 2025, with Germany’s aifinyo AG recently announcing plans to accumulate 10,000 BTC by 2027. This follows similar moves by companies across Europe and Asia, signaling a broader institutional acceptance of Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. The Bitcoin treasury model has moved from experimental to established corporate strategy. We’re seeing new companies enter this space almost weekly, recognizing Bitcoin as the ultimate treasury reserve asset. Bitcoin’s price responded positively to Strategy’s announcement, trading above $115,000 as of press time. Bitcoin has shown strong momentum in recent days, supported by growing institutional adoption and the approaching 2026 halving. Strategy’s stock (MSTR) has also shown positive movement, rising 3% in pre-market. Recent regulatory developments have further supported the Bitcoin treasury trend. Strategy recently received favorable guidance from the IRS and Treasury regarding the treatment of unrealized crypto gains in Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) calculations, eliminating concerns about potential tax liabilities for long-term Bitcoin holdings. As more companies adopt Bitcoin treasury strategies and regulatory frameworks become clearer, the trend appears poised to continue.

Bitcoin Price Prediction: Bitcoin Shines With Weekend Pump On China Trade Deal Expectations – Is BTC About to Hit $130K This Week?
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 01:36 PM
Bitcoin is trading with a bullish bias, having surged to $115,185, rising nearly 1.40% in 24 hours. Most of the optimism is driven amid renewed US-China trade talks which is supporting broader risk sentiment. With a market cap of around $2.29 trillion and daily trading volume of above $56.6 billion, Bitcoin remains the top-ranked cryptocurrency globally, supported by its limited circulating supply of 19.94 million BTC.US-China Trade Talks Ease Market TensionsThe positive sentiment follows reports that Washington and Beijing reached a trade “framework” during weekend talks in Kuala Lumpur, easing concerns of an escalating tariff war. The potential deal, expected to be formalized during Thursday’s APEC Summit in South Korea, could prevent the US from imposing a 100% tariff on Chinese goods and delay China’s planned rare-earth export controls.According to US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Beijing has agreed to boost agricultural imports, including soybeans, which could support US farmers. China’s Vice Premier He Lifeng echoed similar optimism, stating that both sides achieved “a basic consensus” and would finalize details soon.Asian equities and commodities rose on Monday, extending gains, as markets priced in a potential easing of geopolitical risks that have clouded growth forecasts for much of 2025.Trade Tensions and Market OutlookThis week’s Trump-Xi meeting is crucial as the market participants are expecting progress toward de-escalating tariffs and technology restrictions, especially after Beijing’s recent announcement requiring export licenses for certain semiconductor materials and rare-earth elements, minerals essential for manufacturing electric vehicles and defense systems. China Foreign Minister says President Xi Jinping & President Trump respect each other. pic.twitter.com/fBVl3IlU0S— Mayank Dudeja || SPYONGEMS (@imcryptofreak) October 27, 2025 Trump’s retaliatory tariff threats had spooked markets earlier this month. However, recent updates suggest a more measured tone; therefore, easing trade tensions could revive global risk appetite. This may indirectly benefit cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, which often move in tandem with macroeconomic sentiment. Rare-earth restrictions could disrupt global supply chains if talks fail. Agricultural deals may stabilize US-China relations short term. Investor sentiment remains fragile ahead of the APEC summit outcome. Bitcoin Technical Analysis: Resistance AheadOn the technical front, the BTC/USD rebound from $108,600 has gained traction, but the price now faces a key hurdle around $117,600. A double-top resistance zone is extending this particular level. This level aligns with the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement, a historically strong reversal point.Recent candlestick patterns show small bodies with upper wicks, reflecting short-term hesitation. Meanwhile, the 20-day and 50-day EMAs around $112,400 have crossed bullishly, confirming underlying strength. The RSI at 55 shows room for further upside before entering overbought conditions.Bitcoin Price Chart – Source: TradingviewA sustained breakout above $117,600 could propel BTC toward $120,500 and potentially $124,100, while a failure to clear the resistance could trigger a pullback to $112,200 or $108,600.Trade Setup: Bullish: Enter on breakout above $117,600, targeting $120,500–$124,100 with stops near $112,200. Bearish: Short below $117,600, targeting $112,200 with stops above $118,000. Bitcoin’s structure remains cautiously bullish, supported by higher lows and strong volume. However, traders should watch closely as market momentum begins to slow near this critical resistance area.Bitcoin Hyper: The Next Evolution of BTC on Solana?Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is bringing a new phase to the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Dogecoin Users Can Now Pay For Flights With DOGE On This Airline
BitCoinistOct 27, 2025, 01:30 PM
UK-based travel company Alternative Airlines has added support for Dogecoin, allowing customers to pay for flights with the meme coin. This adds another use case for DOGE, which is a positive for its price. Alternative Airlines Enables Support For Dogecoin The travel company revealed that customers can buy flights with Dogecoin, with the meme coin listed as a payment option at checkout. The booking company joins the likes of AirBaltic and Cielo Aviation, which also accept Dogecoin for ticket payments through their partnership with Bitpay. Alternative Airlines also highlighted the benefits of using DOGE for ticket payments, including how it has better transaction per second (TPS) in comparison to other major cryptos. DOGE is said to be able to handle 30 transactions per second, while Ethereum and Bitcoin can handle 25 and 6, respectively. Furthermore, the travel company also declared that DOGE has a “bright future.” They alluded to the 2021 cycle when the DOGE price recorded significant gains. The company also noted that the world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has shilled the meme coin on several occasions, and there are predictions that it could become a top 4 crypto by market cap. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that Elon Musk’s X is one of the companies that could potentially accept DOGE for payments at some point, especially with the planned X payments rollout. Musk’s automotive company, Tesla, already accepts the meme coin for the purchase of some select merchandise. Additionally, SpaceX, another of Elon Musk’s companies, accepted Dogecoin for the launch of DOGE-1 to the moon. Musk’s support for Dogecoin also influenced the naming of a government agency (D.O.G.E) after the foremost meme coin. Plans To Further Boost DOGE’s Utility House of Doge, the corporate arm of the Dogecoin Foundation, recently revealed plans to expand Dogecoin’s use case. In an X post, they stated that their mission is to make DOGE payment integration seamless worldwide. House of Doge also highlighted how the acceptance of DOGE benefits merchants. They stated that the Dogecoin payments will cut out the middlemen, slash fees, and remove payment friction. The company recently provided a major boost for DOGE with its purchase of a stake in the Swiss Ice Hockey club HC Sierre. House of Doge plans to use this move to “bring the spirit of Dogecoin directly into the fabric of gameday culture.” House of Doge has already committed to integrating DOGE payments at home venues for tickets and merchandise. DOGE is no stranger in the sports industry, as the NBA team Dallas Mavericks accepts DOGE for ticket payments. At the time of writing, the DOGE price is trading at around $0.2, up over 6% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

‘Crypto President’ Javier Milei Scores Shock Midterm Win: What’s Next for Crypto in Argentina?
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 01:15 PM
Argentine President Javier Milei’s pro-crypto party, La Libertad Avanza, has scored a surprise victory in the country’s midterm elections, strengthening his control in Congress and reigniting debate over Argentina’s future economic direction and its deepening embrace of digital assets.According to local outlet La Nación, Milei’s party secured 40.68% of the national vote, winning key regions including Buenos Aires province, long considered a Peronist stronghold. The result marks a major turnaround from September’s provincial elections, when the Peronists had defeated Milei’s candidates by a wide margin. Source: La Libertad AvanzaWith more than 99% of votes counted, La Libertad Avanza has tripled its representation in Congress, now holding 101 seats in the lower house, up from 37, and 20 in the Senate, compared to six previously.The victory cements Milei’s influence ahead of the October 2027 presidential election, positioning him once again as the frontrunner. How Milei’s Midterm Win Redefines Argentina’s FutureSpeaking to supporters after the win, Milei called the result a “turning point” and declared that Argentina had “left decadence behind and opted for progress.”The legislative win also eases investor fears that Milei’s market overhaul could stall.Argentine assets rallied following the results, with the peso posting gains in crypto trading markets on Sunday.Investors see the strengthened position in Congress as crucial for pushing through Milei’s austerity and tax reform agenda, which has been met with both praise and protest at home.Since taking office in December 2023, Milei, a former economist, has focused on deregulation, fiscal tightening, and reducing state intervention.Inflation, which had soared to nearly 290% in April 2024, has fallen dramatically under his administration, dropping to 31.8% in September 2025. Source: Trading EconomicsWhile these measures have helped stabilize the peso, they’ve also led to higher living costs, unemployment, and reduced subsidies on essentials like electricity and transport.Milei’s pro-crypto policies remain a defining feature of his presidency. In December 2023, Argentina legalized the use of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in private contracts, marking a major step in formalizing crypto transactions. The following year, his government introduced comprehensive regulations for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), requiring registration with the National Securities Commission (CNV) and compliance with anti-money laundering and cybersecurity standards.Under the new framework, cryptocurrencies are legally recognized for transactions but do not hold legal tender status.

Although Argentina’s anti-corruption watchdog later cleared Milei of wrongdoing, public trust took a hit.Polling firm Zuban Córdoba reported that Milei’s approval rating fell from 47.3% in November to 41.6% in March following the incident, with recent data showing that over 63% of Argentines now view him negatively.Nonetheless, Milei insists he merely “spread the word” about the project and denies any intent to promote it.

Bo Hines Says, “US Bitcoiners Are Becoming Engaged At Local Level Because Financial System Failed So Many For So Long”
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 12:57 PM
While Bitcoin was designed to be apolitical, it is now deeply entwined with political institutions. On 25 October 2025, Bo Hines, who is the former head of US President Donald Trump’s Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, acknowledged that previously governments viewed cryptocurrency and Bitcoin as almost a criminal asset that was used for nefarious activity. “They’ve realized that that’s not the case. People want freedom, and they want the freedom to move money how they please. And so the demand that people have created for this commodity has changed the course of history, and governments are forced to address it,” said Hines, while talking at the PlanB Forum in Lugano, Switzerland. I think that you’re going to start seeing Bitcoiners in the US become more engaged at a local level as well. And this, honestly, is a result of the fact that the financial system has failed so many people for so long. Hines, who is now the Strategic Advisor for Digital Assets and US Strategy at Tether, said, “So in the US, obviously, we’ve created the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in which the Treasury is responsible for being a custodian over. But that’s a direct result of the power and persistence that the people created, and I think that’s an incredible thing to recognize. And I think that it will change the really change the course of history forever. “We say in the US now that Bitcoin is digital gold” “We say in the US now that bitcoin is digital gold,” Hines added. “It is a commodity that should be recognized. I think that’s something that will happen across the rest of the globe.” Bitcoin is the grandfather for us in a sense of welcoming in a new age that completely revolutionizes the financial system. “David likes to describe it as having the immaculate conception,” said Hines, talking about the Crypto Czar David Sacks. “Obviously, we understand it’s finite. We understand that governments have a strong desire to obtain it and hold on to it. And so I think as we look at this long term, we have to recognize that, one, this is a commodity that’s here to stay and probably, in my opinion, becomes the most valuable asset in the world.” DISCOVER: The 12+ Hottest Crypto Presales to Buy Right Now “Most Importantly, Bo Is A Bitcoiner,” Said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino “But from a broader perspective, think about how many things from this ecosystem will be applied to the financial system more generally,” said Hines. You think about Tether. You think about the way that stablecoins work now. We’re going to have 24-7 markets. We’re going to have tokenized public securities. “We’re going to have a brave new world in the financial system that creates really connectivity that we’ve never seen before across the entire globe. And that is a direct result of Bitcoin in this ecosystem. And so the US government fully recognizes that. And I’m proud to say I worked for an administration that embraced it,” said Hines. Talking about Ardoino and Tether, Hines said, “For a long time, they told Paolo that he was servicing a niche. Now, the niche happens to be one third of the global population – folks that are underbanked, debanked, underserved. Bitcoin is truly the representative of the entire digital assets ecosystem, obviously. As being the grandfather. But again, I would just say that in terms of financial freedom – it’s worth protecting and worth fighting for and also worth educating. So I’d encourage Bitcoiners to educate folks around you about what it means to you.” Bo Hines, formal executive director of the White House Crypto Council, transitioned from public service to the private sector to take the helm at Tether for its new stablecoin USAT under the fresh GENIUS Act regulatory framework.https://t.co/VlNOcMHXo4 — Akriti Seth (@AkritiSethN) October 8, 2025 DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 “Gary Gensler’s Firing Received Loudest Applause,” Reveals Bo Hines “The loudest applause line was when Gary Gensler was fired,” said Hines. “He was the former SEC chairman under the Biden administration. The reason I bring him up is because the standard that was set prior to the Trump administration was basically policymaking through prosecution and persecution.” Talking about the changes the Trump administration brought in, Hines said, “So, we came in and our mindset was that this has to be a complete sea change. We have to completely reverse what has been set in the standard that has been in place and actually educate folks on really what Bitcoin is and what digital assets are. And so Bitcoin sets the standard for what it means to be decentralized, what it means to be a true digital commodity. And we’ve used that standard and applied it across basically the entire digital assets ecosystem.” I think that Bitcoin now is the beacon of what it means to have financial freedom. “So for this ecosystem, it’s really not a choice to be politically engaged or not,” he said. “It’s something that we have to be in the fight for. And obviously, the US has now set the standard for what it means. And what this commodity means more generally for the world. But I think that’s worth protecting. And worth fighting for across the entire globe. So, I’d encourage everyone to get involved.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys 390 BTC, Boosting Treasury to 640K BTC
CryptoNews.comOct 27, 2025, 12:30 PM
Strategy, the business intelligence firm led by Bitcoin advocate Michael Saylor, has once again expanded its Bitcoin treasury. According to a filing released on October 27, the company acquired an additional 390 BTC between October 20 and October 26, spending $43.4 million at an average price of $111,117 per Bitcoin. Strategy has acquired 390 BTC for ~$43.4 million at ~$111,053 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 26.0% YTD 2025. As of 10/26/2025, we hodl 640,808 $BTC acquired for ~$47.44 billion at ~$74,032 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD https://t.co/1d4Pmv8ub2— Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 27, 2025 This latest purchase brings Strategy’s total holdings to 640,808 BTC, acquired at an aggregate purchase price of $47.44 billion. The company’s average purchase price now stands at $74,032 per Bitcoin, inclusive of fees and expenses.Strategic Use of ATM ProgramsThe filing revealed that the latest Bitcoin purchases were funded through proceeds from several of Strategy’s at-the-market (ATM) equity programs. Specifically, the company issued preferred shares under its STRF, STRK, and STRDATM programs, raising a combined total of $43.4 million during the same period.Strategy has leaned heavily on its ATM offerings to generate capital for Bitcoin acquisitions without taking on additional debt. The programs collectively provide the company access to more than $46 billion in potential issuance capacity, giving it flexibility to continue adding Bitcoin as market conditions evolve.This approach aligns with Saylor’s long-term thesis: using equity capital to accumulate Bitcoin as a superior store of value. By issuing stock instead of borrowing, Strategy minimizes balance-sheet risk while deepening its exposure to the world’s largest digital asset.Saylor’s Conviction in Bitcoin Remains UnshakenDespite market volatility, Michael Saylor’s conviction in Bitcoin remains steadfast. The billionaire founder and executive chairman has repeatedly described Bitcoin as “digital property” and “the ultimate treasury reserve asset.”Strategy’s consistent accumulation strategy has made it the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally, far surpassing entities such as Tesla and Marathon Digital. The firm’s holdings now represent more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total circulating supply, further cementing its position as a proxy for institutional Bitcoin exposure on Wall Street.Bitcoin-as-a-Service VisionBeyond holding Bitcoin, Strategy continues to advance its vision of “Bitcoin-as-a-Service”, providing software, analytics, and capital markets infrastructure to other institutions exploring digital assets.By combining traditional capital-raising mechanisms with blockchain-native investment principles, Saylor’s company has built a hybrid model that bridges corporate finance and decentralized value storage.As Bitcoin’s next halving cycle approaches in 2026, Strategy’s latest purchase reinforces its long-term belief: that Bitcoin will outlast inflation, outperform traditional assets, and remain the cornerstone of a new global financial paradigm.With 640,808 BTC now in reserve, Strategy shows no signs of slowing—only scaling.Michael Saylor Escapes Multi-Billion Tax BombStrategy has also recently announced that it no longer expects to face a multi-billion-dollar tax liability tied to unrealized crypto gains after new guidance from the IRS and Treasury.The 71-page update says companies don’t have to include unrealized Bitcoin gains or losses in the 15% Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) calculation.This saves Strategy from billions in potential payments and eases fears that long-term Bitcoin treasuries would be penalized for appreciation.The post Michael Saylor’s Strategy Buys 390 BTC, Boosting Treasury to 640K BTC appeared first on Cryptonews.

Saylor Keeps Buying: Strategy Boosts Bitcoin Stack by 390 BTC
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 12:23 PM
The world’s largest corporate holder of bitcoin continues to increase its stash by splashing another $43.4 million to acquire 390 BTC. The latest acquisition comes amid reports of the company’s decreasing BTC purchases, at least for the past few months. Strategy has acquired 390 BTC for ~$43.4 million at ~$111,053 per bitcoin and has achieved BTC Yield of 26.0% YTD 2025. As of 10/26/2025, we hodl 640,808 $BTC acquired for ~$47.44 billion at ~$74,032 per bitcoin. $MSTR $STRC $STRK $STRF $STRD https://t.co/1d4Pmv8ub2 — Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 27, 2025 Strategy’s new purchase was executed with an average bitcoin price of just over $111,000 per unit. As such, its total stash has risen to 640,808 BTC, bought for $47.44 billion (or an average price of $74,032 per BTC). Given today’s price pump from the largest cryptocurrency and a current price tag of just over $115,000, this puts Strategy’s holdings at an unrealized profit of a healthy $26.3 billion. It’s worth noting that the company’s latest BTC purchases have been rather modest compared to the end of 2024 and early 2025. CryptoQuant’s Maartunn dug deeper into this declining trend and outlined the possible reason behind it in this article. Strategy’s stock prices have been in an evident downfall on a monthly scale, dropping from $360 to under $290 in October alone. MSTR is also slightly down YTD, losing 3.6% of value within this timeframe. The post Saylor Keeps Buying: Strategy Boosts Bitcoin Stack by 390 BTC appeared first on CryptoPotato.

If BTC pumps above $118,000, it might lift top Solana meme coins as well as blue-chip altcoins, including ALGO. A close above $0.20 opens up more opportunities for ALGO bulls to push prices above $0.24, reversing losses of October 10. This price expansion will likely pump onchain activity, injecting life into Algorand. In turn, more users will explore and appreciate developers’ efforts in the past few months, signaling that Algorand is not dead.

Strategy Slows Bitcoin Purchases to 2021 Levels: What’s Going on Behind the Scenes?
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 11:37 AM
The company’s once-aggressive Bitcoin accumulation strategy appears to be losing momentum. After making headlines with massive weekly purchases, sometimes exceeding 10,000 BTC and even peaking at 55,500 BTC in late 2024, Strategy’s buying pace has now slowed drastically to around 200 BTC per week. The largest corporate Bitcoin holder’s deceleration is reflected in its spending as well. Slower Buys, Same Conviction In his latest analysis, Crypto analyst ‘Maartunn’ estimated that spending fell from billion-dollar allocations to just $22.1 million spent for 196 BTC last week. Despite the slowdown, 2025 still ranks as Strategy’s second-largest BTC investment year, with $19.53 billion deployed so far, trailing only 2024’s $21.76 billion. The firm now holds roughly 3.2% of all Bitcoin in circulation. However, tighter capital conditions have started to bite as equity issuance premiums have plummeted from 208% to just 4%, which has made fresh fundraising more challenging. Meanwhile, MSTR stock is down nearly 50% from its all-time high, while Bitcoin itself trades only 16% below its peak, which has further widened the performance gap between the two assets. Despite this, the company’s share price remains closely correlated with Bitcoin, and Maartunn noted that it often mirrors its moves. Interestingly, Strategy continues to buy near local price highs, most recently acquiring 196 BTC at an average price of $113,000. Even as the accumulation pace has slowed down, the firm’s unrealized Bitcoin profit still stands at a staggering $23.7 billion. As such, the analyst stated, “Strategy is no longer buying big – but they’re still buying. Long-term conviction remains, even as funding pressure grows.” Trillion-Dollar Bitcoin Dream Though purchases have eased, Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor remains adamant that Bitcoin is at the heart of the firm’s long-term corporate treasury strategy. Speaking at a conference in Prague, the former chief exec said that there is only one way to lose – and that’s not to play the (Bitcoin) game. In a separate interview last month, Saylor revealed an ambitious “endgame” to build a trillion-dollar Bitcoin balance sheet and use it to reinvent the global credit system. He said the goal is to accumulate $1 trillion in Bitcoin and grow it by 20-30% annually.

How Much Did a Presidential Pardon Cost CZ? $700K if Binance Offers Any Clues
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 11:16 AM
Over the weekend, Binance founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao secured a Presidential pardon from Donald Trump following months of speculation and an extensive lobbying effort in Washington. The Binance-affiliated token, BNB, which is most commonly associated with CZ, has risen around 10% since the pardon was confirmed on October 23, increasing from $1,060 to $1,150 as it continues to solidify its position as the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, according to CoinGecko. This time last year, CZ had just finished serving a four-month prison sentence for violating US anti-money laundering laws and was supported by a campaign aimed at appealing to prominent figures within the Trump administration. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Politico Report Finds that CZ and Binance Have Paid Out Millions in Lawyer Fees and Lobbying Efforts A Politico report alleges that Binance has been lobbying the White House and the Treasury Department for several months, seeking what they call “executive relief.” In September of this year, Binance reportedly hired Ches McDowell, a political operative with close ties to Donald Trump Jr. and his firm, Checkmate Government Relations, which billed them $450,000 for just one month of work, according to Politico. Binance and CZ also hired Teresa Goody Guillén, a lawyer with alleged close ties to the Trump administration, paying $290,000 to Guillén’s firm this year alone. It isn’t the first time Binance has gone on a spending spree in Washington, having previously spent over $1 million in the Capital in 2022, but paused its efforts after a plea deal with the US Department of Justice in 2023. Now, under the pro-crypto Trump administration, Binance has renewed lobbying efforts, reportedly spending $860,000 this year and expanding influence by partnering its USD1 stablecoin with ventures linked to Trump’s network, including World Liberty Financial. The lesson of CZ's pardon is clear: Justice is only as strong as your lobbying budget.$860,000 flowed to Trump-linked lobbyists to erase a guilty plea for money laundering.

Democratic Representative Maxine Waters condemned the pardon as “a massive favor for crypto criminals.” She argued that CZ’s guilty plea for anti-money laundering violations disqualified him from clemency and accused the administration of “selling justice to the highest bidder.” Waters also alleged that the pardon was influenced by months of lobbying and financial support to Trump’s personal crypto company, World Liberty Financial, though this claim lacks documentation. During the same press conference, Trump also highlighted cryptocurrency innovation as “the future of American finance”, further solidifying the US’s stance since the U-turn by Trump and his administration after Biden left office in January.

BNB remains one of the strongest-performing major-cap digital assets this year. Its fundamentals are rock-solid, as the native token of the BNB Smart Chain (BSC), which now holds over $8.8Bn in TVL (Total Value Locked), according to DeFiLlama. Within the BSC ecosystem is a vast array of protocols, including meme coins, DeFi platforms, and more recently, its Perp DEX, Aster. The recent Maxwell upgrade for BSC has made navigating the blockchain even quicker, halving block times to 0.75 seconds. It’s also worth noting that the BNB listing announcements by Robinhood and Coinbase both dropped last week, just days after BNB hit its all-time high of $1,375 on October 13. The listings came following BNB’s incredible rebound following October 10’s historic Black Swan market crash. On a short-term timeframe, BNB has two significant sell walls to overcome, at $1,190 and $1,210. However, if these two levels can be breached, it will be a relatively straightforward run to a new all-time high above $1,370.

Western Union Initiates Stablecoin Transfers as Fed Targets Payment-Only Breakthrough
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 10:42 AM
Western Union facilitates the movement of billions of dollars every year. As of October 27, the payment and remittance processor had a market cap of over $2.9Bn, generating over $1Bn in adjusted revenue in Q3 2025. And now that market share could be shifting onchain, The problem is that, though many users still rely on traditional finance rails to move funds across the world, alternatives are quickly catching up and gnawing market share. A significant threat to Western Union is the emergence and expansion of stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle. Presently, the stablecoin market stands at over $312Bn. The largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, has minted over $183Bn of USDT, which tracks the greenback. Circle, the issuer of USDC, is fast rising up the market cap ranks, issuing over $76.2Bn of stablecoins. (Source: Coingecko) DISCOVER: 10+ Next Crypto to 100X In 2025 Western Union Initiates Stablecoin Transfers: What’s the Impact? Unsurprisingly, Western Union is jumping on the stablecoin bandwagon to avoid being left behind and perhaps even rendered obsolete. Since the enactment of the GENIUS Act in July 2025, many more firms have been experimenting with and integrating stablecoins. On Thursday last week, during Western Union’s Q3 2025 earnings call, CEO Deven McGranahan said the financial services company had launched a pilot that leverages stablecoins for value transfer. The CEO notes that the trial program will specifically focus on leveraging the blockchain and stablecoins to “reduce dependency on legacy correspondent banking systems.” In turn, this will shorten settlement times and, most importantly, improve capital efficiency. By leveraging stablecoins and instead of entirely depending on traditional rails, Western Union has a chance to move money cheaply and with “greater transparency.” Unlike fiat, which operates in opaque networks where the amount, source, and recipients are often obscured, crypto and stablecoin transfers are easier to track. If Western Union uses a public chain like Ethereum, every transfer will be easily monitored onchain, introducing higher transparency and trust. Still, it remains to be seen how Western Union will handle fluctuating gas fees, especially on Ethereum, which is a choice public chain for many finance companies.

Western Union facilitates the movement of billions of dollars every year. As of October 27, the payment and remittance processor had a market cap of over $2.9Bn, generating over $1Bn in adjusted revenue in Q3 2025. And now that market share could be shifting onchain, The problem is that, though many users still rely on traditional finance rails to move funds across the world, alternatives are quickly catching up and gnawing market share. A significant threat to Western Union is the emergence and expansion of stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle. Presently, the stablecoin market stands at over $312Bn. The largest stablecoin issuer, Tether, has minted over $183Bn of USDT, which tracks the greenback. Circle, the issuer of USDC, is fast rising up the market cap ranks, issuing over $76.2Bn of stablecoins.

Unsurprisingly, Western Union is jumping on the stablecoin bandwagon to avoid being left behind and perhaps even rendered obsolete. Since the enactment of the GENIUS Act in July 2025, many more firms have been experimenting with and integrating stablecoins. On Thursday last week, during Western Union’s Q3 2025 earnings call, CEO Deven McGranahan said the financial services company had launched a pilot that leverages stablecoins for value transfer. The CEO notes that the trial program will specifically focus on leveraging the blockchain and stablecoins to “reduce dependency on legacy correspondent banking systems.” In turn, this will shorten settlement times and, most importantly, improve capital efficiency. By leveraging stablecoins and instead of entirely depending on traditional rails, Western Union has a chance to move money cheaply and with “greater transparency.” Unlike fiat, which operates in opaque networks where the amount, source, and recipients are often obscured, crypto and stablecoin transfers are easier to track. If Western Union uses a public chain like Ethereum, every transfer will be easily monitored onchain, introducing higher transparency and trust. Still, it remains to be seen how Western Union will handle fluctuating gas fees, especially on Ethereum, which is a choice public chain for many finance companies. Ethereum continues to scale via layer-2s like Base, but fees on the mainnet can change drastically, sometimes spiking to over $50, depending on the network’s activity.

U.S. China Trade War Calms Ahead of FOMC: Will Bitcoin News Trigger Parabolic Move?
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 10:27 AM
The US and China are always playing political chess. Every time there is a major announcement, touching on rare earth metals from China, or tariffs from the US, expect them to move asset prices, creating top trending crypto and Bitcoin news. A trigger to the crypto collapse on October 10 and 11 was partly due to tariff announcements from the United States, a retaliation to new rare earth export rules. The good news is that everything has been relatively calm in the past few days, a net positive for Bitcoin and some of the best cryptos to buy. At spot rates, the total crypto market cap is up +3% to over $3.9Tn at press time. Meanwhile, the Bitcoin price is up +3% in 24 hours, pushing weekly gains to over +3.5% at press time.

Most importantly, it is reported that China agreed to freeze its production of rare earth metals for one year. The new export rules, which forced Trump to announce tariffs of over 100% on Chinese goods earlier this month, were, and still are, the major source of friction, a top priority as resolutions are needed. In exchange for the one-year delay, the United States will hold off its threats to impose new +100% tariffs on Chinese goods, a move that, if implemented, would likely cause major disruptions across industries in China. Additionally, China, which has been shifting to Latin America, specifically Brazil, will increase its soybean imports from the United States. In return, the United States will reportedly relax specific export controls and, crucially, adjust pot fees that have been imposed on China.

PI Token Explodes by 25%, BTC Taps $116K as Crypto Markets Add $100B Daily: Market Watch
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 10:12 AM
Bitcoin skyrocketed past $116,000 earlier today to set a multi-week high before it was stopped and pushed south by around a grand. Numerous altcoins have posted massive gains over the past day, led by ZEC and PI. Some of the larger caps are also well in the green. BTC Stopped at $116K Bitcoin surged at the beginning of the previous business week as well, when it added over six grand in hours and soared to $114,000. However, this rally was short-lived, and the asset slumped by eight grand almost immediately to almost $106,000. The following days were calmer, as BTC prepared for the Friday release of the CPI numbers for September. Before the announcement went live, the cryptocurrency had calmed at $111,000 but jumped to $112,000 once it became known that the inflation is not as high as experts believed. The following hours were less positive as BTC slipped to $110,000, but went on the offensive once again during the weekend and challenged $112,000 on Sunday. At first, this resistance held but gave in after the US Secretary hinted at a major trade deal between the US and China. Bitcoin broke past $113,000 on Sunday and kept climbing on Monday, surpassing $116,000 for the first time since the October 10 massacre. Although it has been pushed south by $1,000 since then, it’s still 2.4% up on the day. Its market cap has risen to almost $2.3 trillion, while its dominance over the alts is close to 58%. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView PI, ZEC on the Rise Pi Network’s native token became the top performer in the past 24 hours, skyrocketing by over 25% at one point to well over $0.28. ZEC follows suit as the privacy coin is up by 15% and tapped $350 for the first time this decade. The other notable gainers from the larger-cap alts include BCH (6.4%), ETH (4.2%), BNB (2.6%), and UNI (5%). SOL, DOGE, ADA, LINK, and HYPe are also in the green, albeit in a more modest manner.

Ultimate HTF Signal? JP Morgan Greenlight Ethereum as Loan Collateral: Only Up From Here For ETH USD?
99bitcoinsOct 27, 2025, 09:33 AM
Could JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s recent move to accept Ethereum as loan collateral be the strongest HTF bullish catalyst yet for ETH USD price? With the bank now planning to permit institutional clients to pledge ETH (and BTC) for fiat loans by the end of 2025, the upgrade of ETH into a “real asset” for Wall Street raises a central question about the trajectory of the ETH/USD pair. Is this recognition from TradFi the dawn of a new leg up for ETH’s price, primarily as altcoin season builds and FOMO returns? Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Why is This Move by JPMorgan Such a Major Bullish Signal for ETH USD? JPMorgan, the largest bank by market capitalisation in the U.S., has long been sceptical of crypto under CEO Jamie Dimon. Yet, its new policy changes everything: instituting Ethereum crypto as eligible collateral equates it with traditional asset classes, such as stocks and bonds. JPMorgan to allow its institutional clients to use bitcoin and ether as collateral for loans as crypto continues to get absorbed into Wall Street's plumbing.

Could JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s recent move to accept Ethereum as loan collateral be the strongest HTF bullish catalyst yet for ETH USD price? With the bank now planning to permit institutional clients to pledge ETH (and BTC) for fiat loans by the end of 2025, the upgrade of ETH into a “real asset” for Wall Street raises a central question about the trajectory of the ETH/USD pair. Is this recognition from TradFi the dawn of a new leg up for ETH’s price, primarily as altcoin season builds and FOMO returns? Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Why is This Move by JPMorgan Such a Major Bullish Signal for ETH USD? JPMorgan, the largest bank by market capitalisation in the U.S., has long been sceptical of crypto under CEO Jamie Dimon. Yet, its new policy changes everything: instituting Ethereum crypto as eligible collateral equates it with traditional asset classes, such as stocks and bonds.

3 Major Events That Could Shake the Crypto Market This Week
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 08:21 AM
Bitcoin enters this eventful and most likely volatile trading week on the right foot, with a price surge to $116,000 on Monday morning. The question now is whether this rally will endure in the coming days, as the US Federal Reserve is expected to lower key interest rates, alongside a major meeting between presidents Trump and Jinping, and companies publishing earnings reports. Key Events This Week: 1. Fed Interest Rate Decision – Wednesday 2. Fed Chair Powell Press Conference – Wednesday 3. Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Earnings – Wednesday 4. President Trump Meets President Xi – Thursday 5. Apple and Amazon Earnings – Thursday 6. ~20% of S&P 500… — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) October 26, 2025 Big Week Ahead Monday and Tuesday have no scheduled events from a macro perspective from the US and could be the calm before the storm, which is likely to begin on Wednesday. The US Federal Reserve Chair is scheduled to have a press conference right after the central bank announces its decision on the interest rates. Experts and Polymarket odds expect a 25 bps rate cut. The chances rose last week when the CPI numbers for September came out, which showed that inflation was not as high as many feared. “As the government shutdown nears day 30, the Fed will release their interest rate decision on Wednesday. We will then hear from Fed Chair Powell in a highly anticipated statement amid the data blackout,” said The Kobeissi Letter. President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping are set to meet on Thursday in South Korea to discuss a potential trade deal between the two nations. Previous developments on the matter affected the cryptocurrency markets, including yesterday’s hint that a deal might be in the works. Additionally, some of the largest US companies, including Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Apple, and Amazon, will report earnings this week. Impact on Crypto Markets BTC began its ascent yesterday after the aforementioned hint by US Secretary Bessent as the asset jumped from under $112,000 to over $113,500 and up to $116,000 earlier this morning. The altcoins followed suit with some impressive gains. The question now is whether the market has priced in a potential Fed rate cut and a deal between the US and China, or the real impact of the two developments is yet to be felt. In any case, the week ahead appears to be highly eventful and possibly volatile. The post 3 Major Events That Could Shake the Crypto Market This Week appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Bitcoin Smashes $115K: $370 Million in Shorts Crushed, Altcoins Finally Wake Up
CryptoPotatoOct 27, 2025, 06:04 AM
Bitcoin’s rally that started on Sunday, following some promising news on the US-China trade deal front, has only intensified during the Monday morning Asian trading hours as the asset blasted to a two-week peak. Many altcoins have followed suit in an impressive manner, which has harmed over-leveraged short traders. BTCUSD. Source: TradingView Recall that the primary cryptocurrency had calmed on Saturday after a volatile week, in which it recorded a few $6,000 to $8,000 moves. By the start of the weekend, though, it had returned to its consolidation phase of around $111,000, but the first signs of a potential breakout started to show up. On Sunday, US Secretary Bessent hinted about a potential deal between his country and Beijing, which could be announced later this week after the presidents of the two superpowers meet in Asia. This had an immediate impact on BTC’s price, which surged past $112,000 and $113,000. Its gains paused for several hours, but the bulls returned as Asia woke up earlier today. Bitcoin went on the run again, reclaiming $114,000 and $115,000 in the process. Its peak, at least for now, is at $115,600, which is the highest it has traded since October 14. Most altcoins have joined the ride, including ETH, which has jumped by over 7% and now trades above $4,200. SOL has reclaimed the $200 line after a 5.5% daily surge, while ADA is close to $0.70 after a 4.7% increase. ZEC has rocketed by over 24%, followed by PI, IP, ENA, and HYPE. These impressive gains over the past day have had a profound effect on short futures traders, with more than $370 million in such positions wiped out each day. In total, nearly 110,000 traders have been wrecked since yesterday, according to data from CoinGlass.

Bitcoin went on the run again, reclaiming $114,000 and $115,000 in the process. Its peak, at least for now, is at $115,600, which is the highest it has traded since October 14. Most altcoins have joined the ride, including ETH, which has jumped by over 7% and now trades above $4,200. SOL has reclaimed the $200 line after a 5.5% daily surge, while ADA is close to $0.70 after a 4.7% increase. ZEC has rocketed by over 24%, followed by PI, IP, ENA, and HYPE. These impressive gains over the past day have had a profound effect on short futures traders, with more than $370 million in such positions wiped out each day. In total, nearly 110,000 traders have been wrecked since yesterday, according to data from CoinGlass.

BIP-444: The Soft Fork Proposal Aiming to Restrict Arbitrary Data Sparks Fierce Debate in Bitcoin Community
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 11:53 PM
A newly surfaced Bitcoin Improvement Proposal, BIP-444, has ignited one of the most intense governance debates in the Bitcoin ecosystem since the block size wars. The proposal, published late Friday, aims to temporarily restrict the inclusion of arbitrary data in Bitcoin transactions through a one-year soft fork, responding to concerns that the blockchain could host illegal content under changes introduced in the recent Bitcoin Core v30 update. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Why is BIP-444 So Controversial? The controversy traces back to v30’s effective removal of data size caps on OP_RETURN outputs, a part of the Bitcoin script used to attach auxiliary data to transactions. While users have long embedded messages and small metadata on-chain, the new interpretation allows much larger data payloads, provided the sender pays the transaction fees. Critics say this opens the door to a catastrophic scenario: permanently stored illegal files, such as child sexual abuse material (CSAM), that could expose node operators to criminal liability simply for participating in the network. The BIP 444 proposal is incredibly bad A bad actor who wants to conduct a double spend attack, could put CSAM onchain to cause a re-org and succed with their attack The proposal therefore provides an economic incentive for onchain CSAM pic.twitter.com/7XZ6uocjMR — BitMEX Research (@BitMEXResearch) October 26, 2025 BIP-444 argues this poses a “direct existential threat” to Bitcoin’s decentralization model. If node operators choose between violating laws or shutting down infrastructure, the proposal warns, validation could consolidate into a small set of legally protected institutional nodes, undermining Bitcoin’s core trust assumptions. To prevent this, BIP-444 proposes several temporary technical measures, specifically: Limit OP_RETURN data to 83 bytes Cap most script outputs at 34 bytes Restrict data push sizes to 256 bytes Invalidate unused or undefined script versions Limit taproot control block size Disable OP_IF inside Tapscript, effectively breaking Ordinals-style inscriptions The last point is particularly explosive: Ordinals inscriptions, which store NFT-like digital artifacts directly on-chain, have driven significant block space usage and miner fee revenue over the past two years. The soft fork would temporarily shut down the Ordinals market, an action supporters view as necessary security triage, while detractors see it as protocol-level censorship. DISCOVER: 9+ Best High-Risk, High-Reward Crypto to Buy in 2025 Supporter vs Critics: Is BIP-444 Crisis Theatre and Emergency Politics? Supporters, including longtime developer Luke Dashjr, frame the move as an urgent “emergency response” rather than a philosophical shift, arguing the chain is already at risk due to large data transactions mined earlier this month. No. BIP 444 is already on track with no technical objections.https://t.co/sF7HUiGgRm — Luke Dashjr (@LukeDashjr) October 26, 2025 Critics counter that the “emergency” narrative is overblown, noting that Bitcoin has long been theoretically capable of storing harmful data and that no widely accepted legal precedent exists tying node operation to possession liability. Opponents, including Ordinals community figures and infrastructure providers, argue the proposal sets a dangerous precedent, blurring the line between network integrity protections and content policing. Some warn that if miners and users split over activation, the network could face a chain split reminiscent of the 2017 Bitcoin/Bitcoin Cash schism. Complicating matters further, the proposal was authored by a pseudonymous contributor with no prior public development history, heightening questions about coordination, intent, and legitimacy. BIP-444 has not yet been formally submitted to the Bitcoin Development Mailing List, the next step required before any serious path toward consensus.

Decentralized Startup Funding: Is Coinbase Set to Shake Up Entrepreneurship Forever?
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 10:59 PM
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong aims to streamline the entire startup process, from formation to fundraising and public listing, onto the blockchain. In a recent appearance on the TBPN podcast, Armstrong elaborated on a future where founders can build their companies completely onchain. He said startups could register digitally, raise capital through smart contracts, and issue tokenized equity without depending on banks or law firms. He added that the current funding system is “pretty onerous,” arguing that blockchain finance could make capital raising “more efficient, more fair, more transparent.” Instead of waiting weeks for funds to clear, founders can receive instant capital in USDC, start operations, and accept crypto payments immediately. Over time, they could also trade their company shares publicly in tokenized form, all within one ecosystem. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Why Is Coinbase’s x402 Protocol Seeing a 10,000% Surge in Transactions? Armstrong’s comments align with Coinbase’s growing focus on decentralized finance tools. The company has recently integrated Echo, a blockchain-based fundraising platform that was acquired earlier this year. Echo has helped more than 200 startups raise over $200 million to date, offering a glimpse of how an onchain startup economy might look. With Coinbase already running Base, its layer-2 network that supports decentralized apps, this expansion into startup funding signals a broader ambition: to make entrepreneurship as borderless and transparent as the blockchain itself. Echo has helped over 200 startups raise more than $200 million. While it will operate independently for now, Armstrong said Coinbase plans to fold it into its broader infrastructure over time.

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong aims to streamline the entire startup process, from formation to fundraising and public listing, onto the blockchain. In a recent appearance on the TBPN podcast, Armstrong elaborated on a future where founders can build their companies completely onchain. He said startups could register digitally, raise capital through smart contracts, and issue tokenized equity without depending on banks or law firms. He added that the current funding system is “pretty onerous,” arguing that blockchain finance could make capital raising “more efficient, more fair, more transparent.” Instead of waiting weeks for funds to clear, founders can receive instant capital in USDC, start operations, and accept crypto payments immediately. Over time, they could also trade their company shares publicly in tokenized form, all within one ecosystem. DISCOVER: Best Meme Coin ICOs to Invest in 2025 Why Is Coinbase’s x402 Protocol Seeing a 10,000% Surge in Transactions? Armstrong’s comments align with Coinbase’s growing focus on decentralized finance tools. The company has recently integrated Echo, a blockchain-based fundraising platform that was acquired earlier this year. Echo has helped more than 200 startups raise over $200 million to date, offering a glimpse of how an onchain startup economy might look. With Coinbase already running Base, its layer-2 network that supports decentralized apps, this expansion into startup funding signals a broader ambition: to make entrepreneurship as borderless and transparent as the blockchain itself. Echo has helped over 200 startups raise more than $200 million. While it will operate independently for now, Armstrong said Coinbase plans to fold it into its broader infrastructure over time. The move would give founders direct access to Coinbase’s $500 billion in custody assets and its global investor base. Armstrong also said Coinbase is speaking with U.S. regulators about updating fundraising rules that prevent non-accredited investors from participating in early-stage rounds.

Will the Fed Cut Rates at FOMC This Week? BTC USD Price Pushes High as Bull Event Looms
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 10:48 PM
Crypto markets are bracing for the long-awaited FOMC meeting this Week, and the BTC/USD price is pushing higher in anticipation. Bitcoin is climbing as traders position for an interest-rate cut at this week’s Federal Reserve meeting, a move that could shape sentiment across both crypto and traditional markets. As of Monday, Bitcoin (BTC) was hovering near $113,600, extending its rebound from the previous week. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time Investors are widely expecting the Fed to trim borrowing costs when the Federal Open Market Committee meets in Washington on Oct. 28–29. The policy statement is scheduled for 2 p.m. ET on Wednesday, followed by Chair Jerome Powell’s press conference half an hour later. How Likely Is a 25-Basis-Point Rate Cut at the October FOMC Meeting? Expectations for a cut have grown since September inflation data showed a mild cooling trend, reinforcing bets that the Fed may ease policy to support growth. According to CME Fed-funds futures, markets now price in an almost certain 25-basis-point reduction, bringing the target range to 3.75%-4.00 %. Reuters reported that September CPI rose +3% year over year, a touch below the 3.1% forecast. The softer print keeps the door open for more easing. Bitcoin opened the week in a tight range, trading between $111,271 and $113,869. Liquidity was thin after the weekend, and many desks hedged risk ahead of the Fed decision. In rates, the question is whether cooler inflation can stick. Fitch’s Olu Sonola said the Fed would likely be “happy with inflation staying around 3% for the next couple of months,” a setup that could allow gradual cuts while the labor market is watched for stress. The policy statement will be released on Wednesday, October 29, at 2:00 p.m. ET. Chair Jerome Powell speaks at 2:30 p.m. ET. The Core PCE, the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge, is scheduled to arrive on Friday, Oct. 31, after the meeting, meaning officials will set policy without the update.

Bitcoin’s price recovery is drawing attention for its similarities to the 2020 Covid crash rebound, analyst Ted Pillows said in a recent post on X. $BTC reversal from the tariff's crash is mimicking the March 2020 timeline.

Both show steep declines followed by quick, V-shaped recoveries. (Source: X) In early 2020, Bitcoin fell below $4,000 before starting a steady rally that pushed it past $60,000. The recent 2025 structure looks much the same a sharp drop to around $100,000, then a quick rebound above $110,000. From a technical perspective, this setup suggests a possible reversal. The support is symmetrical, as is the rebound candle, indicating that buyers of the dips are on board and that the selling force may be downplaying. Momentum will indicate that Bitcoin can create a higher low signal, which may be the beginning of a new long-term uptrend. On the other hand, Crypto Tony, a prominent cryptocurrency analyst, observed that the 4-hour chart price action indicates a short-term consolidation period, with Bitcoin trading between the $109,800 and $115,800 ranges. His view suggests a possible dip toward the lower end of that range before another attempt higher. The chart reflects a gradual series of higher lows, a pattern that often supports continued upward pressure. (Source: X) Nevertheless, traders observe the CME gap around $109,800, which may attract prices in the short term, and then the breakout will become more obvious. In the meantime, market participants are wary, and the prevailing levels are viewed as the possible peak of the cycle. However, other analysts, such as Pillows, believe that there are parallels to the recovery trend of 2020. He claims that the four-year market cycle can have potentially bottomed out sooner than previously anticipated and is poised to Bitcoin at the beginning of a more protracted bullish period. The volume is not showing any significant changes, indicating that traders are waiting for a definitive signal to emerge. It might be immediately followed by a short-term correction that bridges the CME gap, a phenomenon that has been very common in Bitcoin’s chart in the recent past, before the subsequent surge. For now, Bitcoin’s outlook remains cautiously positive, but it is open to a short-term pullback. If the $110,000 support holds, momentum could build again early next week. But if that floor breaks, sellers might regain control, pushing prices back toward the mid-$100,000 zone.

XRP Crypto Reclaims #3 Spot, Overtakes BNB: Institutional XRP News on Verge of Going Parabolic
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 07:30 PM
XRP crypto has roared back into the spotlight this weekend, surging past Binance Coin (BNB) to reclaim its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, a ranking it hasn’t held consistently in years. (Source – CoinGecko) The token climbed to $2.63 with a market cap of approximately $158Bn, edging above BNB’s $156Bn as capital flows shifted sharply in XRP’s favor. The move caps a +12.8% weekly rally, outpacing every other top-five digital asset and reigniting debate over whether XRP is entering a long-awaited institutional cycle. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time BNB, despite modest gains of +0.55% on the day and +4.35% on the week, appears to be losing momentum after an October rebound driven largely by regulatory relief and new U.S. exchange support, highlighted by former president Donald Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao and secondary market listings on Coinbase and Robinhood. Market Cap 24h 7d 30d 1y All Time But the drivers behind XRP’s surge run deeper than simple market rotation. Institutional XRP News Could Trigger Parabolic XRP Price Breakout The standout catalyst is the emergence of Evernorth, a digital asset treasury (DAT) initiative aiming to accumulate and deploy XRP at scale. Funded partly by Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen, who strategically liquidated a portion of his personal holdings to seed the venture, Evernorth is structured to tighten the circulating supply rather than flood it. Backed by Japan’s SBI Group, the project is preparing a $1B+ SPAC raise to establish an institutional-grade XRP reserve, with planned activities spanning liquidity provisioning, on-chain treasury management, and lending markets across the XRP Ledger. This supply-constraining dynamic emerges simultaneously as Ripple aggressively expands into enterprise payments, RLUSD stablecoin growth approaches $1Bn in on-ledger assets, and Ripple Prime launches as a brokerage-style institutional access hub. Meanwhile, the XRP ETF race is accelerating. Grayscale, Bitwise, CoinShares, Franklin, WisdomTree, 21Shares, and Canary all submitted coordinated amended S-1 filings a move analysts interpret as direct response to SEC feedback, signaling regulatory alignment and clearing a major bottleneck. (Source – CME Group) CME futures open interest has surged as well, hitting $9.9B, while spot XRP ETFs have quietly gathered over $100M in AUM within weeks of launch. Interestingly, sentiment among retail traders remains historically low, with small wallets selling into the rally, creating a classic contrarian setup as institutional accumulation deepens.

Bitcoin Accumulation Patterns Show Late-Stage Cycle Maturity, Not Definite End: CryptoQuant
CryptoPotatoOct 26, 2025, 04:23 PM
Bitcoin’s current price movement continues to raise questions about whether the bull cycle is coming to an end. However, accumulation patterns across different cohorts of BTC investors indicate the cycle is in late-stage maturity, not at a definitive end. According to a report from CryptoQuant, on-chain data shows that although bitcoin’s short-term momentum is weakening, its long-term structural demand remains intact. This is substantiated by accumulation patterns in the dolphin cohort, the investor group comprising exchange-traded funds (ETFs), corporations, and large BTC holders. Late-stage Maturity or Cycle End? CryptoQuant analysts said the dolphin cohort is the anchor of this bull cycle and has become the most important group to monitor. These addresses hold a balance of 100 to 1,000 BTC and now account for the largest share of the circulating bitcoin supply (26%, or 5.16 million BTC). Their counterparts, including the whale, fish, and humback cohorts, account for just 21.32%, 21.57%, and 14.06% of the circulating BTC supply. With the bulk of BTC holdings concentrated in this cohort, their behaviour can significantly affect market direction. Analysts found that growing accumulation from the dolphin cohort has aligned with upward price movement in the past. Contrarily, a slowdown preceded distribution or corrective phases. In the current cycle, dolphins have been the primary accumulator, increasing their balances by more than 681,000 BTC in 2025. In contrast, their counterparts have recorded net declines in their holdings. This dynamic shows that institutions and large investors have been absorbing supply from smaller investors, sustaining a demand base for this cycle. Dolphins Are Still Accumulating As other investor cohorts reduce their holdings, the bull cycle increasingly depends on continued accumulation from dolphins. So, if the pace of dolphins’ accumulation slows, the market could move from an expansion to a consolidation phase. The dolphin cohort’s annual growth needs to stay above its 365-day moving average for the bull cycle to maintain its uptrend. As it stands, dolphin holdings are rising at an annualized rate of 907,000 BTC, well above the 365-day moving average of 730,000 BTC. Unfortunately, the cohort’s 30-day balance growth has fallen below its 30-day moving average, signaling weakening demand. Analysts noted that the slowdown in balance growth coincides with bitcoin’s recent price correction from its all-time high above $126,000. Nevertheless, the market structure suggests that demand from dolphins has not deteriorated; hence, the bull cycle may be in its later stages rather than at its conclusion. Bitcoin needs an accelerated monthly accumulation rate to push to new highs.

Nevertheless, the market structure suggests that demand from dolphins has not deteriorated; hence, the bull cycle may be in its later stages rather than at its conclusion. Bitcoin needs an accelerated monthly accumulation rate to push to new highs.

Bitcoin Soars Above $113K as US Secretary Hints at China Trade Deal
CryptoPotatoOct 26, 2025, 12:06 PM
Bitcoin’s unexpected Sunday pump continues as the asset surged past $113,000 minutes ago for the first time since Tuesday. This comes following positive news from US Secretary Bessent, who noted that China is ready to make a deal that will remove the 100% tariff imposed by the POTUS. BREAKING: US Treasury Secretary Bessent says China is “ready” to make a trade deal with the US after 2 days of negotiations. Bessent says the agreement will remove President Trump’s 100% tariff set to go live November 1st. — The Kobeissi Letter (@KobeissiLetter) October 26, 2025 Recall that Donald Trump shocked the financial markets on October 10 when he claimed that China was deceitful in some sensitive economic areas and warned that the US would impose a 100% tariff against several products. Later, he confirmed the new taxation, which was supposed to become official on November 1. However, the leaders of the two superpowers have scheduled a meeting this week in Asia. In the meantime, both parties’ delegations have met on a couple of occasions to discuss the terms. According to a Reuters report from earlier today, the POTUS said he was confident of striking a deal with President Xi Jinping, after top economic officials reached a preliminary consensus in the trade talks. The Kobeissi Letter noted that this is the 10th and final step of Trump’s tariff plan, which includes announcing a new deal and a subsequent surge in the financial markets. Since most of them are closed on Sunday, the only beneficiary for now is the crypto industry. The leader, bitcoin, has rocketed to a multi-day peak of almost $113,500 after breaking past $112,000 and $113,000 earlier today. The asset plunged hard during the October 10 massacre, dropping to as low as $101,000 on some exchanges. BTCUSD.

Historically speaking, BTC has usually peaked when this index has risen above 50, signaling growth in manufacturing. Meaning, BTC’s peak and the ISM Manufacturing PMI have moved in tandem. This time however, the PMI has stayed below 50 for seven straight months, meaning the sector is still shrinking.

Well, because when the economy picks up and factories are busy, investors usually take on more risks, which often leads to more money flowing into assets like crypto. But because of weak demand and high costs, the recovery signal hasn’t shown up yet. That being said, manufacturing in the US isn’t as big as it used to be, therefore this indicator might not be as reliable as before. A low PMI doesn’t guarantee a recession or a longer bull run, but it’s still worth watching.

Bitcoin Price Analysis: Path to New ATH Opens Up if BTC Reclaims This Key Level
CryptoPotatoOct 26, 2025, 11:01 AM
Bitcoin has been consolidating within a well-defined range, bounded by its 100 and 200-day moving averages. The asset has staged a mild recovery toward the upper boundary, signaling early signs of renewed strength. While extended consolidation in this region remains likely, a valid breakout could trigger a sustained directional move. Technical Analysis By Shayan The Daily Chart On the daily timeframe, BTC remains confined within a crucial range, with the 200-day MA near $109K providing solid support and the 100-day MA around $115K acting as immediate resistance. The recent rebound from the $108K demand zone has pushed the price back toward the upper boundary of this structure. The recovery candles show a constructive tone, but the $115K–$116K region, which overlaps with an institutional supply zone (DP), represents the first key test for bullish continuation. A decisive close above this level could open the path for a retest of the $120K–$122K liquidity pocket, followed by a potential revisit of the $126K all-time high. Conversely, rejection from the 100-day MA would likely prompt a pullback toward the $108K accumulation zone, which continues to serve as a high-liquidity demand base and the foundation of recent rebounds. The 4-Hour Chart The 4-hour structure highlights Bitcoin trading within a symmetrical triangle pattern, following a sharp recovery from the $102K–$104K institutional demand zone. This pattern reflects a period of volatility compression, typically preceding a strong breakout. Currently, the asset is attempting to break above the upper trendline, which would confirm a bullish momentum shift and target the $120K–$122K liquidity zone. However, failure to sustain above resistance and the formation of another lower high could invite renewed downside toward the $108K support for a potential base retest. Momentum remains constructive but fragile, suggesting the market is entering a critical decision phase where volatility expansion is imminent. On-chain Analysis By Shayan The Realized Price of mid-term holders (3–6 month cohort) continues to act as a key market pivot, historically serving as both support and resistance during major turning points. This metric reflects the average acquisition cost of coins held by this group, offering valuable insight into prevailing sentiment. Bitcoin’s rebound from $102K has lifted price action just above the $109K Realized Price, putting mid-term holders back into slight profit. This development typically reduces short-term selling pressure and signals improving conviction among market participants. The $114K region now emerges as a decisive threshold. A confirmed breakout and hold above this level would reinforce confidence among these holders, potentially igniting a new bullish leg toward fresh all-time highs. Conversely, failure to hold above it could tilt sentiment back toward caution, exposing Bitcoin to deeper corrective moves within its current range.

This Week In Crypto Asia: WazirX Resumes Operations, Asian Exchanges Push Back On BTC Hoarding, Cambodian Crypto Overlord Gets Sanctioned
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 10:00 AM
In 2025, the Asian crypto landscape has evolved. Till last year, it could have been said that the Asian crypto landscape in general was in its experimenting phase, a side project almost. However, since 2025, crypto in the Asia has seen a massive uptick in adoption on the back of clearer policy frameworks. Countries like India, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam are leading the charge, in their own way, contributing to trading volumes, institutional investments and retail participation. This past week, there have been more developments in this region. Here’s the rundown. Indian Exchange WazirX To Resume Operations From 24 October 2025 WazirX, the Indian exchange is all set to resume its operations in India starting 24 October 2025. The High Court of Singapore granted it permission to commence its operations after successfully completing its restructuring process. To begin with, WazirX is offering zero trading fees across all pairs. This aims to boost platform usage and to make trading easier for users without having to pay a bunch of charges. As a start, WazirX will offer select few crypto-to-crypto pairs and the USDT/INR pair. More pairings will be rolled out gradually as the exchange finds its its groove again.

INR withdrawals are already live pic.twitter.com/9Giac7Imns — BITCOIN EXPERT INDIA (@Btcexpertindia) October 24, 2025 In the meantime, WazirX has gone all out and partnered with BitGo, an industry leader in crypto custody. After its lengthy restructuring process post hack in 2024, it is only natural to step up security. WazirX’s partnership with BitGo will ensure that funds are protected with insured, institutional grade safeguards in place. A local publication quoted founder Nischal Shetty saying, “At the heart of everything we do is our mission to make crypto accessible to every Indian… This isn’t just a return to operations, it’s a reinforcement of our integrity which we’ve always strived for.” Ahead of its launch, the Indian crypto exchange has managed to complete token swaps, mergers, de-listings and rebranding. Also, it plans to start distributing tokens to creditors within 10 business days and will also issue Recovery Tokens to help settle outstanding claims.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has recently blocked five companies from becoming Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) based on earlier rulings on how much liquid assets a listed company can hold. Strategy Inc., led by Michael Saylor, popularized the trend of shifting a company’s business model to that of DATs, inspiring many companies to follow in his footsteps.

The company had planned to use part of the raised funds for cryptocurrency investments. Meanwhile, Australian Stock Exchange’s (ASX) rules make it nearly impossible for listed firms to hold more than half their assets in cash or crypto. This has caused investors in the country to look elsewhere. For instance, Steve Orenstein, CEO of Locate Technologies, said his company is moving its listing to New Zealand, where the rules are more crypto-friendly. In the meantime, ASX has recommended companies aiming to invest in crypto to set up exchange-traded funds (ETFs) instead. Japan however, going against the grain, allows companies to hold large amounts of cash. Crypto treasury models face little resistance, case in point, the country has 14 listed Bitcoin (BTC) holding companies, the most in Asia.

In 2025, the Asian crypto landscape has evolved. Till last year, it could have been said that the Asian crypto landscape in general was in its experimenting phase, a side project almost. However, since 2025, crypto in the Asia has seen a massive uptick in adoption on the back of clearer policy frameworks. Countries like India, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam are leading the charge, in their own way, contributing to trading volumes, institutional investments and retail participation. This past week, there have been more developments in this region. Here’s the rundown. Indian Exchange WazirX To Resume Operations From 24 October 2025 WazirX, the Indian exchange is all set to resume its operations in India starting 24 October 2025. The High Court of Singapore granted it permission to commence its operations after successfully completing its restructuring process. To begin with, WazirX is offering zero trading fees across all pairs. This aims to boost platform usage and to make trading easier for users without having to pay a bunch of charges. As a start, WazirX will offer select few crypto-to-crypto pairs and the USDT/INR pair. More pairings will be rolled out gradually as the exchange finds its its groove again.

INR withdrawals are already live pic.twitter.com/9Giac7Imns — BITCOIN EXPERT INDIA (@Btcexpertindia) October 24, 2025 In the meantime, WazirX has gone all out and partnered with BitGo, an industry leader in crypto custody. After its lengthy restructuring process post hack in 2024, it is only natural to step up security. WazirX’s partnership with BitGo will ensure that funds are protected with insured, institutional grade safeguards in place. A local publication quoted founder Nischal Shetty saying, “At the heart of everything we do is our mission to make crypto accessible to every Indian… This isn’t just a return to operations, it’s a reinforcement of our integrity which we’ve always strived for.” Ahead of its launch, the Indian crypto exchange has managed to complete token swaps, mergers, de-listings and rebranding. Also, it plans to start distributing tokens to creditors within 10 business days and will also issue Recovery Tokens to help settle outstanding claims.

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) has recently blocked five companies from becoming Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) based on earlier rulings on how much liquid assets a listed company can hold. Strategy Inc., led by Michael Saylor, popularized the trend of shifting a company’s business model to that of DATs, inspiring many companies to follow in his footsteps.

A report from Singapore-based 10X Research estimated that retail investors have lost about $17 billion in DATs companies. Shares of Boyaa Interactive, a Hong-Kong based DATs company, dropped nearly 4%, underperforming the broader market. Other crypto-native companies such as DL Holdings and Ourgame also saw declines.

The company had planned to use part of the raised funds for cryptocurrency investments. Meanwhile, Australian Stock Exchange’s (ASX) rules make it nearly impossible for listed firms to hold more than half their assets in cash or crypto. This has caused investors in the country to look elsewhere. For instance, Steve Orenstein, CEO of Locate Technologies, said his company is moving its listing to New Zealand, where the rules are more crypto-friendly. In the meantime, ASX has recommended companies aiming to invest in crypto to set up exchange-traded funds (ETFs) instead. Japan however, going against the grain, allows companies to hold large amounts of cash. Crypto treasury models face little resistance, case in point, the country has 14 listed Bitcoin (BTC) holding companies, the most in Asia.

Africa Crypto News Week in Review: Tether Invests In Kotani Pay, Nigeria Central Bank Embraces Stablecoins, Nvidia Top Stock On Luno
99bitcoinsOct 26, 2025, 09:00 AM
In Africa crypto news this week, the Kenyan crypto startup Kotani Pay has secured a landmark investment from Tether. The USDT issuer is banking on Kotani’s ethos of financial inclusion to boost its reach in the region. In Nigeria, the central bank is creating a working group to adopt stablecoins. This announcement comes as regulators in Africa’s largest market work on a raft of measures to further regulate platforms and issuers, enabling everyone to get exposure to some of the best cryptos to buy.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino outlined the investment rationale as follows: “At Tether, we believe that blockchain technology plays a critical role in unlocking financial freedom…Kotani Pay’s vision and strong regional presence make it the right fit to drive our shared goals in Africa and beyond. We aim to empower enterprises and individuals to access digital assets for their global operations, reduce friction in cross-border transactions, and build a more inclusive financial future while promoting the informed use of digital assets.” Kotani Pay provides on-ramp/off-ramp infrastructure that connects blockchain users to local payment channels on the continent.

Binance Just Got Serious: BNB Set To Form Basis For Kyrgyzstan CBDC Stablecoin — BNB Price to Hit $1,200?

North Korea’s Crypto Theft Reaches $2.83B Since 2024
CryptoPotatoOct 25, 2025, 09:28 PM
A new report by the Multilateral Sanctions Monitoring Team (MSMT) shows that North Korean hackers stole $2.83 billion in cryptocurrency between January 2024 and September 2025. This figure accounts for nearly one-third of the country’s total foreign currency income in 2024. Bybit Exploit Was the Largest Contributor The MSMT, a coalition of 11 countries formed in October 2024, was created to track how North Korea evades international sanctions through cybercrime. Its latest findings reveal that the scale of crypto theft rose in 2025, with hackers stealing $1.64 billion in the first nine months alone, marking a 50% increase from the $1.19 billion stolen last year. Most of this year’s total came from a February attack on Bybit, which was linked to the TraderTraitor group, also known as Jade Sleet or UNC4899. The hackers targeted SafeWallet, a multi-signature wallet provider for Bybit, using phishing emails and malware to gain access to internal systems. They then disguised external transfers to appear as internal ones, allowing them to take control of the cold wallet’s smart contract and move the funds undetected. According to the MSMT, North Korean hackers often avoid attacking exchanges directly, instead targeting third-party service providers. Groups such as TraderTraitor, CryptoCore, and Citrine Sleet have used fake developer profiles, stolen identities, and detailed knowledge of software supply chains to carry out their attacks. In one notable case, the Web3 project Munchables lost $63 million in a hack, although the funds were later returned after they reportedly faced problems during laundering. How the Laundering Works The analysis reveals a nine-step process used to clean and convert stolen crypto into cash. Hackers begin by swapping stolen assets for Ethereum (ETH) on decentralized exchanges, then use mixing services such as Tornado Cash and Wasabi Wallet to hide transaction trails. The ETH is then converted to Bitcoin (BTC) through bridge platforms, mixed again, stored in cold wallets, and then traded for Tron (TRX) before being converted to USDT. The final step involves sending USDT to over-the-counter brokers who exchange it for cash. Brokers and companies in China, Russia, and Cambodia were identified as key players in this process. In China, nationals Ye Dinrong and Tan Yongzhi of Shenzhen Chain Element Network Technology, along with trader Wang Yicong, helped move funds and create fake IDs. Russian intermediaries converted about $60 million from the Bybit hack through OTC brokers, while Cambodia’s Huione Pay was used to transfer stolen funds despite its license not being renewed by the central bank. The MSMT also said that North Korean hackers have worked with Russian-speaking cybercriminals since the 2010s. In 2025, actors linked to Moonstone Sleet leased ransomware tools from the Russia-based group Qilin. In response, the 11 jurisdictions making up the MSMT issued a joint statement urging UN member countries to raise awareness on these cyber activities and called on the UN Security Council to restore its Panel of Experts “in the same strength and structure it had prior to its disbandment.” The post North Korea’s Crypto Theft Reaches $2.83B Since 2024 appeared first on CryptoPotato.

What’s Behind the Record-Breaking 270K BTC Movement This Year?
CryptoPotatoOct 25, 2025, 06:44 PM
2025 is shaping up as a record-breaking year for the movement of long-dormant Bitcoin. New data revealed BTC inactive for seven or more years, showing significant activity. So far this year, 270,000 BTC have been transformed, which is a new all-time high. This figure has already surpassed 2024’s 255,000 BTC and far exceeded 2023’s 59,000 BTC, with two months still remaining. 2025 Becomes Year of the Awakening CryptoQuant explained that Bitcoin’s surge in long-dormant coin movements may stem from several factors, such as old miners relocating long-held reserves, transferring funds to fresh cold wallets for enhanced security, and partial liquidations as elevated prices present lucrative opportunities. At the current pace, 2025 could see more than 300,000 BTC with 7+ years of dormancy being moved. Adding to the trend, a tweet from on-chain analytics platform Lookonchain highlighted a miner wallet 18eY9o, which has been dormant for 14 years and holding 4,000 BTC mined in 2009 and consolidated in 2011, recently became active. The wallet holder transferred 150 BTC, which is worth roughly $16.59 million. This move is part of the broader pattern of early-era coins resurfacing, suggesting both strategic repositioning by miners and renewed liquidity from historically inactive addresses. Bitcoin noted a modest 2.1% surge in the past day as it trades at $111,178. With more long-held coins potentially entering circulation, it would be interesting to see how these dormant Bitcoin awakenings could influence price trends and investor behavior in the final months of the year. Dormant Bitcoins Awakening In September, a 12-year-old miner-era wallet transferred 400.08 BTC, valued at roughly $44 million, to multiple new addresses. The coins were originally mined 15 years ago. A humorous X post even noted the generational wealth unlocked by awakening a decade-old wallet. Earlier, in July, a 14-year-dormant wallet containing over 80,000 BTC moved 20,000 BTC worth $2.4 billion, with billions more sent to institutional custodian Galaxy Digital. The reactivation of multiple wallets, some funneling funds to exchanges like Binance and Bybit, drew immediate comparisons to the Mt. Gox trustee sell-offs of 2024 and raised fears of a market correction. The post What’s Behind the Record-Breaking 270K BTC Movement This Year? appeared first on CryptoPotato.

Trump Picks SEC Crypto Counsel Michael Selig to Lead CFTC
Bitcoin MagazineOct 24, 2025, 07:56 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Trump Picks SEC Crypto Counsel Michael Selig to Lead CFTC President Donald Trump has selected Michael Selig, chief counsel for the Securities and Exchange Commission’s crypto task force, to chair the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC). Selig’s nomination, first reported by Bloomberg, marks Trump’s second attempt to fill the CFTC’s top post, following the stalled nomination of Brian Quintenz, a16z crypto’s global policy chief, amid opposition from Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss. Selig, who serves as an aide to SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, has been instrumental in coordinating regulatory approaches between the SEC and CFTC on financial and crypto market oversight. The CFTC, which regulates futures, swaps, and prediction markets, is gaining greater prominence as Congress considers new crypto market structure legislation. Before joining the SEC, he was a partner at Willkie Farr & Gallagher, specializing in asset management. Selig’s appointment will require Senate confirmation. JUST IN: President Trump selects Michael Selig as CFTC chair amid crypto growth. pic.twitter.com/VeFZITp8U6— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) October 24, 2025 President Trump’s growing support for crypto President Donald Trump also recently granted a full pardon to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, calling his prosecution part of the prior administration’s “war on cryptocurrency.” The move, confirmed by the White House, clears Zhao’s record and echoes a major shift in the government’s approach to the crypto industry. Selig’s appointment comes as momentum behind U.S. crypto legislation accelerated this week as Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the industry was “90%” of the way toward securing passage of the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act. Despite a partial government shutdown, lawmakers from both parties reportedly made major progress on the long-awaited market structure bill. Armstrong met with senators from both parties, including Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand, Cynthia Lummis, and Tim Scott, describing the discussions as “very productive.” The bill, which passed the House in July with a bipartisan 294–137 vote, aimed to clarify which digital assets fall under the SEC versus the CFTC, while providing rules for decentralized finance (DeFi), stablecoins, and custody services. The final sticking points centered on how to regulate DeFi and whether consumers could earn rewards on stablecoins. Crypto advocates urged lawmakers to target regulation at intermediaries rather than open-source code and warned that the banking lobby sought to limit yield on stablecoin holdings. Despite procedural delays from the shutdown, optimism remained high. Lummis said she expected the bill to reach President Trump’s desk before year-end, calling it the most significant bipartisan step toward U.S. crypto clarity to date.

Swiss Bitcoin-Only App Relai Secures MiCA License in France
Bitcoin MagazineOct 24, 2025, 03:00 PM
Bitcoin Magazine Swiss Bitcoin-Only App Relai Secures MiCA License in France Swiss Bitcoin app Relai has become one of the first Bitcoin-only companies to receive regulatory approval under Europe’s landmark Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework. The Zurich-based firm announced today that it has been granted authorization as a Crypto-Asset Service Provider (CASP) by France’s Financial Markets Authority (AMF), according to a note shared with Bitcoin Magazine. The approval marks a significant moment not just for Relai, but for the broader Bitcoin ecosystem in Europe. The MiCA regulation, which came into effect earlier this year, establishes uniform rules for crypto companies across the EU, aiming to increase investor protection and reduce regulatory fragmentation between member states. While large exchanges like Binance and Coinbase are still navigating the complex licensing process, Relai’s early authorization gives it a head start as one of the first Bitcoin-only firms to achieve compliance. “We’re incredibly proud to be one of the first Bitcoin companies to get the MiCA license and are eager to expand to France first — and Europe in a second step,” said Julian Liniger, co-founder and CEO of Relai. “This is a big moment for Bitcoin adoption on the continent.” Relai is expanding a bitcoin-only vision across Europe Founded in Zurich in 2020, Relai has grown despite a rough regulatory environment for digital assets. The company closed a Series A funding round last year and surpassed 500,000 app downloads, establishing itself as a user-friendly gateway for European retail investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin without intermediaries. With the MiCA license secured, Relai can now “passport” its services across the EU — meaning it can operate in all 27 member states once formal notification procedures are complete. The company plans to introduce a suite of new features tailored to European users, including Instant SEPA payments, higher trading limits, fixed-price transparency, and enhanced security standards. Relai also intends to invest in education and community-building, launching localized learning resources and sponsoring Bitcoin events across Europe. “Our goal is clear: bringing Bitcoin to as many people as possible — simple, secure, and regulated,” said Adem Bilican, co-founder and president of Relai EU. The company is also strengthening its governance with a newly appointed advisory board, featuring industry veterans Jean Guillaume, Daniel Astraud, and Herve de Kerdrel, who will provide guidance on regulatory compliance and strategic growth. Relai plans to leverage its MiCA approval to expand across Europe, with marketing campaigns and app updates scheduled for 2026. Yesterday, Blockchain.com announced it received a MiCA license as well, granted by the Maltese Financial Services Authority (MFSA), This post Swiss Bitcoin-Only App Relai Secures MiCA License in France first appeared on Bitcoin Magazine and is written by Micah Zimmerman.

Schiff revealed his plans for a tokenized gold platform during an interview on CounterParty TV posted yesterday, Oct. 23. The proposed platform includes a debit card that would let users buy, hold, and spend tokenized gold, while keeping the precious metal in vaults. Schiff didn’t miss a chance to critique Bitcoin as he explained his upcoming product in the interview:“Ideally, the one thing that makes sense to put on a blockchain is gold. Because it will work. And it will do all the things that Bitcoin promises, but can never do. You can use tokenized gold as a medium of exchange, as a unit of account, as a story of value. And I’m probably going to launch my own token at some point.” To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

Alps Blockchain Announces Corporate Rebranding to Alps
TheBitCoinNewsOct 22, 2025, 01:54 PM
Reflecting its evolution into a global builder of next-generation data center infrastructure powering Bitcoin and, in the future, AI computation TRENTO, Italy, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Alps Blockchain, a European leader in digital infrastructure and Bitcoin mining, today announced its forthcoming corporate rebranding to Alps, marking a new chapter in its growth as a fully integrated infrastructure company. The rebranding underscores Alps’ transformation from a pioneering Bitcoin mining operator into a vertically integrated builder and manager of advanced data centers, capable of converting energy into digital computation – from Bitcoin mining with ASIC systems to, in the future, high-performance computing (HPC) for artificial intelligence. “This rebrand reflects what Alps has become,” said Francesco Buffa, CEO and Co-Founder of Alps. “We are no longer only a blockchain company – we are an infrastructure company. We design, build, and operate high-efficiency data centers from the ground up, turning energy into the computational power that fuels the digital economy.” “From a financial perspective, producing computational power for the Bitcoin network has always provided – and continues to provide – a constant and unprecedented cash flow in the digital infrastructure industry,” added Francesca Failoni, CFO and Co-Founder of Alps. “This solid foundation allows us to plan with a long-term view and to strategically integrate new applications such as AI computing within our existing infrastructure.” Since its founding in 2018, Alps has developed and managed modular, energy-efficient data centers in Italy, Paraguay, Ecuador, Oman, and the United States, with infrastructure and energy contracts already in place to reach 15 EH/s of computing power in the near future, equivalent to roughly 1.5% of the global Bitcoin hash rate. Alps controls and operates over 250 MW of installed or ready-to-deploy capacity, boasting an industry-leading energy efficiency of 15.4 J/TH, among the best worldwide. The company continues to pursue an ambitious expansion plan toward 2029. The transition to Alps better represents this expanded mission and positions the company as a key player in the emerging intersection between energy and digital infrastructure. Alps integrates the full value chain – from site development and electrical engineering to containerized data center fabrication and on-site operations – enabling scalable and sustainable deployment worldwide. The company’s legal structure, shareholder composition, and ongoing projects remain unchanged. About Alps Alps is a digital infrastructure company that designs, builds, and manages modular, energy-efficient data centers that transform energy into computation. Through its global network of sites, Alps produces computing power for Bitcoin mining and is preparing to expand into high-performance computing applications. Founded in Trento in 2018, Alps operates across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas. You can find the official media kit, including the new visual identity and the mining farms here.

What Is a 51% Attack, and How Does It Work?
The DefiantOct 15, 2025, 06:25 PM
In the world of crypto — abundant with hacks, social engineering, malicious software, and even fraudulent on-chain transfer requests — one threat stands out for its scale, targeting an entire blockchain ecosystem: the 51% attack. A 51% attack on a blockchain network refers to a type of exploit when an individual or a group controls over half — at least 51% — of network consensus. Usually, this kind of attack refers to blockchains that use proof-of-work (PoW) consensus where miners validate transactions, like Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum Classic (ETC). In the case of a PoW chain, a 51% attack entails controlling the majority of mining power, letting the attacker manipulate the chain.The possibility of such an attack is tied to the very nature of crypto — decentralization. Unlike a traditional financial system, like a bank, where a central authority controls and verifies all transactions, blockchains rely on decentralized networks of miners or validators to maintain consensus, a system where the majority agrees on which transactions are valid.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

Crypto Continues to Offer Superior Returns and Diversification: Franklin Templeton
The DefiantOct 14, 2025, 07:38 PM
Digital assets have posted market-leading returns in eight of the past eleven years, cementing their status as a legitimate asset class, according to a recent report by global investment firm Franklin Templeton, which manages over $1.6 trillion in assets.The report outlines eight reasons why now may be the ideal time for investors to consider crypto, from strong historical returns to growing institutional adoption. Since Bitcoin’s (BTC) launch in 2009, the digital asset market has grown to nearly $4 trillion in total market capitalization. Ethereum (ETH) alone generated more than $10 billion in transaction fees over the past seven years, “faster than many of today’s tech company giants,” the report notes.Bitcoin and Ethereum also show low correlations with traditional assets, indicating their potential as portfolio diversifiers. Bitcoin has a correlation of 0.41 with the S&P 500, 0.40 with the NASDAQ 100, and 0.06 with gold. Ethereum has slightly higher equity correlations, at 0.48 with both the S&P 500 and NASDAQ 100, while its correlation with gold is slightly negative at -0.04.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

DeFi Withstands Stress Test as Market Mayhem Wipes Out Nearly $20B
The DefiantOct 13, 2025, 01:02 PM
On Friday, Oct. 10, the crypto market yet again showed how quickly it can take a sharp turn, with crypto exchanges reporting around $20 billion in leveraged positions liquidated in just a few hours — the largest single-day liquidation event the industry has seen to date.In the ensuing chaos across markets, decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols experienced a major stress test, and largely came out unscathed — with most of the largest protocols seeing zero outages, and very few user-reported issues, especially when compared with their centralized counterparts. On Friday evening, following reports that U.S. President Donald Trump had imposed 100% tariffs on imports from China, Bitcoin dropped more than 10% from above $120,000, briefly dipping under $103,000 on some exchanges before rebounding, while many altcoins plunged even further in short squeezes, and most assets seeing double-digit losses.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $3.5 billion (5-day average, as of October 10, 2025), ranking #22 in the US, behind Coinbase (rank #21) and ahead of UnitedHealth (rank #23) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research). “BitMine continues to attract institutional investor capital as our high liquidity is appealing. The combined trading volume share of BitMine and MSTR is now 88% of all global DAT trading volume.

NuevaWealth for Altcoin CFD Trading – Pros, Cons & Tips
TheBitCoinNewsOct 09, 2025, 06:21 AM
Introduction to Altcoin Trading Altcoins are any cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin. Over the past decade the crypto ecosystem has exploded from a handful of coins to thousands, each trying to solve a specific problem—whether it’s enabling smart contracts (Ethereum), providing fast, low‑fee payments (Solana, Litecoin), powering decentralized finance (Uniswap, Aave), supporting NFTs and gaming (Axie Infinity, Decentraland), or offering privacy (Monero, Zcash). Because many of these projects are still early in their development cycles, their market prices tend to be more volatile than Bitcoin. That volatility creates opportunities for traders who can correctly anticipate short‑term price moves, but it also brings heightened risk of rapid losses. Key concepts to grasp before diving in: Market Capitalization & Liquidity – Larger caps (top 20) usually have tighter spreads and deeper order books, making it easier to enter and exit positions without slippage. Smaller caps can move dramatically on modest trade volumes, which can be attractive for speculative gains but also risky. Tokenomics – Understand the supply model (fixed vs. inflationary), distribution schedule (vesting, staking rewards) and utility of the token. Sudden token releases or protocol upgrades often trigger price spikes or drops. Fundamental Drivers – Project roadmaps, partnership announcements, regulatory news, and community sentiment (Twitter, Reddit, Discord) heavily influence altcoin price dynamics. Technical Analysis Basics – Trend lines, support/resistance zones, moving averages, RSI and MACD are commonly applied to altcoin charts. Given the higher noise, combining several indicators and confirming with volume can improve signal reliability. Risk Management – Set stop‑loss levels, limit leverage, and allocate only a small portion of your portfolio to any single altcoin. Diversification across several projects can smooth out the impact of a single coin’s failure. Regulatory Landscape – Some jurisdictions treat certain altcoins as securities, which can affect exchange listings and legal exposure. Stay informed about the regulatory status of the tokens you trade. By mastering these fundamentals—understanding what each altcoin aims to achieve, how its market behaves, and how to protect capital—you’ll be better equipped to navigate the fast‑paced world of altcoin trading. 1. Why Altcoins Matter Altcoins—cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin—represent the bulk of the crypto ecosystem. They range from established projects like Ethereum, Solana and Cardano to newer tokens that aim to solve niche problems such as decentralized finance, gaming, or supply‑chain tracking. For many traders, altcoins offer higher volatility than Bitcoin, which can translate into larger short‑term price swings and, consequently, bigger profit opportunities—provided the trader understands the added risk. 2. How Nueva Wealth Handles Altcoins Nueva Wealth treats every cryptocurrency it lists as a CFD (contract‑for‑difference). When you open an altcoin position, you are not buying the token itself; you are speculating on its price movement relative to a fiat or stablecoin denominator. The platform currently offers a curated selection of altcoins, typically the top‑20 by market capitalization, plus a few emerging projects that meet its internal liquidity standards. Key characteristics of the altcoin CFD offering: Fixed spreads – The bid‑ask spread is set in advance and does not change with order size. During periods of extreme market stress, the spread may widen, which can affect entry and exit prices. Leverage options – Most altcoins are available with up to 1:10 leverage. This means a $100 margin can control a $1,000 notional position, magnifying both gains and losses. No token custody – Because the contracts are settled in fiat or a stablecoin, you never receive the underlying altcoin in a wallet. This eliminates concerns about private‑key management but also means you cannot use the token for staking, governance voting, or other on‑chain utilities. Overnight financing – Holding a leveraged altcoin position past the daily settlement window incurs a financing charge calculated on the notional value of the contract. 3. Advantages for Altcoin Traders Speed of Execution – Order latency is measured in sub‑seconds, which is valuable when trading fast‑moving altcoins where price changes can happen in milliseconds. Unified Dashboard – Altcoins sit alongside forex, stocks and commodities, allowing you to shift capital between asset classes without leaving the app. Risk Management Tools – Stop‑loss and trailing‑stop orders are available for each altcoin CFD, giving you a way to limit downside exposure. No Custodial Hassles – Since you never hold the actual token, you avoid the complexities of securing private keys, managing wallets, or dealing with network congestion when transferring coins. 4. Limitations and Risks Lack of Ownership – Without holding the real token, you cannot benefit from airdrops, staking rewards, or governance participation that many altcoin projects offer. Leverage‑Induced Volatility – Altcoins already exhibit high price swings; adding leverage can quickly erode a margin balance if the market moves against you. Liquidity Constraints – While Nueva Wealth selects altcoins with sufficient liquidity, the CFD market depth can be thinner than the spot market on major exchanges. Slippage may occur on large orders. Regulatory Ambiguity – Operating under an offshore licence, the platform does not fall under EU or UK investor‑protection regimes. In the event of insolvency, there is no statutory compensation for deposited funds. Limited Educational Content – The platform’s built‑in learning resources cover basic CFD concepts but do not delve deeply into altcoin fundamentals, tokenomics, or project‑specific risk factors. Traders need to conduct independent research. 5. Practical Tips for Using Nueva Wealth with Altcoins Start Small – Allocate only a modest portion of your capital (e.g., ≤ 10 %) to leveraged altcoin positions until you become comfortable with the platform’s execution and fee structure. Set Protective Stops – Use stop‑loss orders at a level that reflects the altcoin’s typical volatility; consider a trailing‑stop to lock in gains if the price moves favorably. Monitor Financing Costs – If you plan to hold a position overnight, calculate the daily financing charge and factor it into your profitability analysis. Cross‑Check Liquidity – Before entering a sizable trade, compare the quoted spread on Nueva Wealth with spot market spreads on major exchanges (e.g., Binance, Coinbase). A significantly wider spread may indicate lower CFD liquidity. Do Independent Research – Review the altcoin’s whitepaper, roadmap, developer activity, and community sentiment. CFD exposure does not replace the need for fundamental analysis. 6. Frequently Asked Questions Specific to Altcoins Do I earn staking rewards on altcoins traded through Nueva Wealth?No. Because the contracts are settled in fiat or stablecoins, you do not hold the actual token and therefore cannot participate in staking or delegation programs. Can I trade any altcoin I want?Only the altcoins that Nueva Wealth lists are available as CFDs. The selection is limited to assets that meet the platform’s liquidity and compliance criteria. What happens if an altcoin gets delisted on the spot market?If the underlying token is removed from major exchanges, Nueva Wealth may suspend CFD trading for that asset. Existing positions could be closed automatically, and any resulting profit or loss would be settled in fiat. Are there any tax implications specific to CFD altcoin trading?Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. Generally, CFD profits are considered capital gains or income, depending on local law. Because you never own the token, you do not report a “crypto acquisition” event, but you do need to declare realized gains or losses from CFD closures. Consult a tax professional for guidance. 7. Verdict – Is Nueva Wealth Good for Altcoin Trading? Nueva Wealth offers a fast, mobile‑friendly environment that makes it easy to speculate on a curated list of altcoins. Its strengths lie in rapid order execution, built‑in risk‑management tools and the convenience of handling multiple asset classes from a single interface. For experienced traders who are comfortable with leveraged speculation, understand the risks of CFD products, and are primarily interested in short‑term price movements, Nueva Wealth can be a suitable venue for altcoin exposure. For newcomers or those who wish to hold altcoins long‑term, earn staking rewards, or rely on regulatory protections, a traditional spot exchange or a regulated broker that offers direct token custody may be a better fit. Ultimately, the decision hinges on your trading objectives, risk tolerance, and willingness to supplement the platform’s limited educational content with independent research. If you choose to proceed, start with a small allocation, use protective stops, and keep a close eye on financing costs and liquidity conditions.

Introduction to Altcoin Trading Altcoins are any cryptocurrencies besides Bitcoin. Over the past decade the crypto ecosystem has exploded from a handful of coins to thousands, each trying to solve a specific problem—whether it’s enabling smart contracts (Ethereum), providing fast, low‑fee payments (Solana, Litecoin), powering decentralized finance (Uniswap, Aave), supporting NFTs and gaming (Axie Infinity, Decentraland), or offering privacy (Monero, Zcash). Because many of these projects are still early in their development cycles, their market prices tend to be more volatile than Bitcoin. That volatility creates opportunities for traders who can correctly anticipate short‑term price moves, but it also brings heightened risk of rapid losses.

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) Announces ETH Holdings Exceeding 2.83 Million Tokens and Total Crypto and Cash Holdings of $13.4 Billion
TheBitCoinNewsOct 06, 2025, 12:36 PM
BitMine now owns greater than 2% of the ETH token supply as it moves towards the ‘Alchemy of 5%’ BitMine leads Crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of BMNR stock BitMine Crypto + Cash Holdings + “Moonshots” total $13.4 billion, including 2.83 million ETH Tokens, unencumbered cash of $456 million, and other crypto holdings BitMine is the 28th most traded stock in the US, trading $2.5 billion per day (5-day avg) BitMine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, Galaxy Digital and personal investor Thomas “Tom” Lee to support BitMine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH LAS VEGAS, Oct. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) BitMine Immersion Technologies (“BitMine” or the “Company”) a Bitcoin and Ethereum Network Company with a focus on the accumulation of Crypto for long term investment, today announced crypto BitMine crypto + cash + “moonshots” holdings totalling $13.4 billion. As of October 5th at 1:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 2,830,151 ETH at $4,535 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $113 million stake in Eightco Holdings (NASDAQ: ORBS) (“moonshots”) and unencumbered cash of $456 million. BitMine crypto holdings reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc (MSTR), which owns 640,031 BTC valued at $79 billion. BitMine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. “We spent the past week in Singapore at Token2049 meeting with many leaders in the crypto and blockchain industry. The BitMine team sat down with Ethereum core developers and key ecosystem players and it is clear the community is focused on enabling Wall Street and AI to build the future on Ethereum. We remain confident that the two Supercycle investing narratives remain AI and crypto. Naturally, Ethereum remains the premier choice given its high reliability and 100% uptime. These two powerful macro cycles will play out over decades. Since ETH’s price is a discount to the future, this bodes well for the token and is the reason BitMine’s primary treasury asset is ETH,” said Thomas “Tom” Lee of Fundstrat, Chairman of BitMine. “As we mentioned in our August Chairman’s message, the power law benefits large holders of ETH, hence, we pursue the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH.” The GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold. “We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” continued Lee. “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.” BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $2.5 billion (5-day average, as of October 3, 2025), ranking #28 in the US, behind JPMorgan (rank #27) and ahead of Nike (rank #29) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research). “At BitMine, we are leading our crypto treasury peers by both the velocity of raising crypto NAV per share and by the high trading liquidity of our stock,” said Lee.

Navigating Markets at 'The Top'
The DefiantOct 05, 2025, 02:21 PM
With BTC underperforming over most of September, talk of a cycle top was naturally amplified on social media, which shouldn’t come as a surprise considering Crypto Twitter has been obsessed with trying to call the top since Bitcoin ETFs launched in January 2024.However, confluence is starting to stack up a little bit for the bears. From a traditional four-year cycle perspective, the “end” is near, there is slightly increased fear and uncertainty driven by the SEC’s investigations into DATs, altcoins are struggling and there doesn’t seem to be enough liquidity in the system to pump more than one at a time, and trench traders are still PVP-ing each on memecoins, which are performing worse than they did when BTC was at $30K in 2023.Each rejection on BTC feels a little heavier than the last, especially with stocks and gold ripping to all-time highs every day.To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io

BTC ALMOST $120K, CRYPTO IS GREEN, PNKSTR JUMPS 50% TO $140M

Crypto majors see more green; Bitcoin at $118,800. ZCash continues to lead, soaring 50% to $140. US government shutdown pauses ETF approvals. Lighter leaves private beta, opens Perps platform to public. Polymarket eyes US return as soon as today. PNKSTR jumps 50% to $140M as other NFT Strategies boom. Crypto majors are green again continuing the shutdown rally; BTC +2% at $118,800, ETH +2% at $4,380, XRP +1% at $2.99, SOL +4% at $225. ZEC (+50%), DEXE (+30%) and SPX (+17%) led top movers. Zcash rocketed ~63% to a three-year high, as traders (and Naval) pitch privacy coin as “insurance” hedge during Bitcoin strength. BTC ETFs saw another $675.8M in net inflows, now over $1.6B on the week so far. MSTR stock jumped 5% yesterday after Strategy avoided a multi-billion AMT (tax) hit after new IRS/Treasury guidance, easing concerns over taxes on unrealized gains tied to its Bitcoin holdings. Polymarket is poised to relaunch for U.S. users within days, as filings show self-certified contracts after acquiring a CFTC-licensed venue. Circle introduced a new tokenized US Treasury fund USYC on Solana. The UK government seeks to keep most of $7B in Bitcoin it just seized linked to massive Chinese fraud. The White House withdrew Brian Quintenz for CFTC chair, reopening leadership questions at the derivatives regulator amid active crypto agenda. New York is running a pilot to give low income residents $12,000 in USDC to help alleviate poverty, with funding provided by Coinbase. VisionSys AI is partnering with Marinade Finance to launch a SOL TreasuryCo, aiming to acquire $500M in SOL over the next 6 months (and stake it) with larger goals to accumulate up to $2B. The US government shut down has halted the ETF approval process, diminishing hopes of any early October approvals (i.e. for SOL.
