The article discusses the potential for gains in the cryptocurrency market, focusing on Layer Brett (LBRETT) as a high-growth opportunity compared to Solana (SOL) and XRP, especially before potential ETF approvals. LBRETT is a Layer-2 meme coin with a capped supply of 10 billion tokens and offers staking APYs up to 1,320%. Analysts predict a 40x to 100x upside for LBRETT due to its Layer 2 functionality, community engagement, and upcoming features like NFT integrations. Solana has seen a price recovery to over $200, fueled by ETF optimism with approval odds around 95-98% for 2025, potentially driving its price towards $300. XRP has also experienced significant growth, with ETF approval odds around 87-95%, potentially pushing its price above $4. However, the article suggests that LBRETT, with its smaller market capitalization, offers greater potential for higher percentage gains than Solana or XRP, even before ETF approvals. The Layer Brett presale has already attracted nearly $2 million in investment.

The article discusses Ripple's efforts to build infrastructure for what they call the 'Internet of Value,' focusing on RLUSD and the XRP Ledger. RLUSD is assumed to be a USD stablecoin being built on top of the XRP Ledger. The piece suggests that these developments lay the groundwork for faster and more efficient transfer of value across borders, indicating a foundational push by Ripple within the cryptocurrency landscape.

Chainlink's price is currently fluctuating around $23.67, showing signs of potential short-term volatility. Trading volume is high, reaching $656.9 million, indicating continued investor interest. Analysts suggest a possible strategy to buy Chainlink between $23.38 and $23.71, with a stop-loss at $22.72, targeting profits at $24.70 and $26.34. Another analyst notes Chainlink has been trading within an ascending channel since June 2023, potentially moving towards the $38-$40 range. If Chainlink can overcome the $24 resistance, it may rally higher; otherwise, it could fall back towards $23.

A large Bitcoin holder, referred to as a whale, moved 25,000 BTC. This large transaction is putting downward pressure on Bitcoin's price.

Ether's price experienced a temporary increase following a speech by Jerome Powell, but the gains were subsequently erased. Despite this pullback, the possibility of Ether reaching a price of $10,000 is still being considered by some market participants.

The article identifies XRP, Shiba Inu (SHIB), and MAGACOIN FINANCE as altcoins with potential for a breakout. XRP is anticipated to increase in value due to regulatory clarity, Ripple's payment network expansion, and the introduction of RLUSD. Analysts predict XRP could reach $7-$8 if it surpasses $3.66, with some suggesting potential highs of $5-$10 or even $13.56-$27 depending on institutional investment. SHIB is expected to benefit from its Shibarium layer-2 solution, which improves transaction speeds and DeFi capabilities, along with ongoing token burns. Predictions for SHIB's price in 2025 range from $0.000015 to $0.00006. MAGACOIN FINANCE is a presale altcoin with a limited-time window for early buyers, as its price increases hourly before it is listed on exchanges.

Eric Trump reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million, citing increased adoption by nation-states, Fortune 500 companies, and large corporations. He believes the market is still in its early stages despite significant institutional investment. This endorsement follows his company ABTC's merger with Bitcoin miner Gryphon Digital Mining, which will result in ABTC being listed on the Nasdaq. Gryphon's stock has risen significantly since May. Trump's comments come as Bitcoin experiences a price pullback, correcting nearly 13% from its recent high and falling below a key technical level. Bitcoin's current price is $109,000.

The article discusses Solana's (SOL) price prediction, suggesting it could reach $300-$400 by 2025 and potentially $1,000 further in the future, representing a 2x to 4x growth. However, it then focuses on Pepeto (PEPETO), a new Ethereum memecoin, as a potentially better investment opportunity for higher returns. Pepeto features include a zero-fee exchange (PepetoSwap), a cross-chain bridge, staking rewards up to 235%, and audits by SolidProof and Coinsult. The Pepeto presale is live at $0.000000150, and the token's supply is allocated to presale (30%), staking (30%), marketing (20%), liquidity (12.5%), and development (7.5%). The article highlights Pepeto's potential for 50x to 100x gains by 2025, drawing comparisons to Shiba Inu and suggesting early investors are already backing it. The presale can be joined by setting up a wallet like Metamask, funding it with ETH, USDT, or BNB, and connecting to the official site.

El Salvador is moving its Bitcoin reserves into many different new addresses to make them safer. The country is doing this because of a possible future threat from quantum computers that might be able to break Bitcoin's security. El Salvador was the first country to accept Bitcoin as an official currency. The country currently holds 6,285 Bitcoins. To improve security, they are splitting these Bitcoins into many different addresses, with no single address holding more than 500 BTC. The Bitcoin Office is also publishing a new dashboard to keep track of these Bitcoin addresses, so citizens can see what's happening. Separately, a new project called Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is launching as a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin aiming to provide faster transactions and smart contracts.

Cardano (ADA) has fallen below a key support level of $0.84, leading to a negative price forecast. Investors are reportedly looking at Remittix, a new PayFi coin, as an alternative to protect their investments. Cardano's price decline is attributed to a recent market downturn where the overall crypto market capitalization dropped. Analysts predict Cardano could fall as low as $0.6 by mid-September if it fails to recover above $0.84. Remittix is gaining attention due to its recent growth, having increased in value by over 6 times in recent months. Factors potentially driving Remittix's growth include planned listings on exchanges like LBank and BitMart, the upcoming launch of its project wallet in September, and its adoption of crypto-to-fiat payment capabilities.

El Salvador has divided its national Bitcoin reserve of approximately 6,250 BTC into 14 separate wallets from a single wallet. The National Bitcoin Office stated this was done as a quantum risk mitigation measure against future advances in computing. Each of the 14 wallets now holds up to 500 BTC. A public dashboard is available to maintain transparency of El Salvador's Bitcoin holdings. The move aims to protect against potential future quantum computer attacks that could compromise Bitcoin's encryption. This action is considered a proactive step in safeguarding the country's crypto assets for the long term.

On August 29, 2025, TRON's Super Representatives voted to reduce transaction fees on the network by 60%. This was done because TRON transaction costs had become expensive, with fees rising to $2.50 per transaction due to the price increase of TRON's native token TRX. The fee reduction, implemented through Tron Improvement Proposal #789, lowers the energy unit price from 210 sun to 100 sun. While TRON anticipates a potential $28 million decrease in monthly revenue due to this change, they expect to attract more users and increase overall transaction volume. TRON currently handles 8-9 million transactions daily and hosts approximately $81 billion in USDT stablecoins. The network aims to maintain competitiveness and has plans for quarterly fee reviews, and while the TRX token price has remained relatively stable, TRON hopes to solidify its position in the stablecoin market with these changes. This could benefit developers, regular users, and people in developing countries who use USDT for payments by making transactions cheaper.

A long-time Bitcoin investor sold over $400 million worth of Bitcoin and used the funds to purchase Ethereum. This occurred while an analyst predicted that the price of Ethereum could potentially reach $10,000.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, spoke at the BNB Chain's fifth-anniversary event in Tokyo, predicting that decentralized finance (DeFi) will eventually surpass centralized exchanges. He highlighted the community-driven nature of the BNB Chain and emphasized the potential of real-world assets (RWAs) and stablecoins. Meanwhile, Japan Post Bank announced plans to launch its own digital currency, DCJPY, in 2026. This currency will be pegged to the yen and aims to integrate blockchain technology into the bank's services, allowing depositors to convert savings into digital money for trading blockchain-based assets. Japan Post Bank manages approximately $1.29 trillion in deposits and hopes this move will revitalize dormant balances and attract younger customers. The DCJPY currency will also enable the purchase of security tokens and NFTs and is intended to be used for distributing government subsidies and grants. Both CZ and Japan Post Bank aim to capitalize on the growing tokenized RWA market, which is projected to reach $18.9 trillion by 2033.

Large XRP holders, often referred to as whales, have been purchasing more XRP tokens as the price recently decreased. This buying activity coincides with a generally positive market environment across the broader cryptocurrency market.

The XRP Ledger's real-world asset (RWA) market capitalization reached a record high of $131.6 million in the second quarter of 2025, boosted by new asset issuances including tokenized treasury funds, digital commercial paper, and tokenized real estate. While RWA growth was strong, overall network activity slowed down. Daily active addresses decreased by 41.2%, and new addresses dropped by 46.2%. However, total addresses increased by 4%. Stablecoin performance remained positive, with Ripple's RLUSD growing to a $65.9 million market cap, representing a 49% quarterly increase. NFT activity saw a significant recovery, with daily average transactions rising by 226.9%, driven primarily by increased NFT minting. XRP's price experienced a minor dip but a regression model suggested a potential future price target as high as $200.

Japan is preparing to launch a blockchain-based version of the Japanese yen as the Bank of Japan (BOJ) is expected to raise interest rates. The Financial Services Agency (FSA) is likely to approve the first yen-denominated stablecoin this fall, with JPYC planning to launch a JPY-pegged stablecoin trading at a 1:1 ratio with the yen. Monex Group is also considering launching its own JPY stablecoin for international remittances. The expected BOJ rate hike could lead investors to move funds into JPY-backed stablecoins. Yields on Japanese government bonds have climbed, and the gap between U.S. and Japanese 10-year yields has narrowed. The strengthening yen and expected rate hikes imply downside potential for BTC/JPY, which has already dropped 8% this month.

Stellar (XLM) is approaching a potential breakout point, with analysts observing a tightening wedge pattern that has been forming since 2017. The key level to watch is $0.90, which represents the upper ceiling of this wedge. A successful break above this level could trigger a significant rally. Currently, Stellar is trading around $0.36, with short-term indicators suggesting a consolidation phase after a rally that peaked at $0.52 in July. Support lies between $0.20 and $0.25, while a move above $0.40 could strengthen bullish sentiment. Litecoin (LTC) is also being compared as it faces its own technical setup, but the focus remains on Stellar as accumulation continues.

Hedera (HBAR) is experiencing a price downtrend, dropping 8.8% in September after a large rally earlier in the year. Despite the price decrease, large investors, known as whales, have been accumulating HBAR tokens. Wallets holding at least 1 million HBAR have added approximately $445,000 worth of tokens, while wallets holding at least 10 million HBAR have added roughly $10.92 million worth. In total, whales acquired over $11.36 million in HBAR over the past week. However, a technical indicator called the Relative Strength Index (RSI) shows a hidden bearish divergence, suggesting that selling pressure might continue, potentially pushing the price lower. The immediate support level to watch is $0.219, and breaking below this level could lead to further price declines. To neutralize the current bearish trend, HBAR would need to reclaim $0.240, with a move above $0.260 indicating a full trend reversal.

The article discusses several cryptocurrency presales that analysts believe have the potential for high returns in 2025. MAGACOIN FINANCE is highlighted as a project with a potential 12,000% ROI, drawing comparisons to early Solana. Remittix, a utility-based project focused on remittances, has already raised $21 million and aims for a 7,500% ROI. Token6900, a meme coin, completed its presale raising $3 million and projects returns between 2,000% and 10,000%. Finally, Maxi Doge, another meme coin centered around a gym-themed Doge, has raised over $1.5 million, with forecasts ranging from 100x short-term upside to longer-term growth.

Wall Street investors are reducing their holdings in U.S. stocks during September, a month historically prone to market downturns. Lazard Asset Management, through its $422 million Lazard International Dynamic Equity ETF (IEQ), is shifting investments into international equities, specifically European and Asian banks, gold miners, and chipmakers. This move is driven by concerns about stretched valuations in the U.S. market, a weakening dollar, and geopolitical instability. The Lazard ETF now includes companies like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, BNP Paribas, Novartis, Tencent Holdings, and Samsung Electronics, as well as Canadian gold mining companies. The fund is overweight on European banks like BNP Paribas, Societe Generale, Barclays and Japan Post Bank, favoring their low valuations and high dividend yields compared to U.S. tech stocks. Conversely, Lazard has sold off software companies like AppLovin, Gartner, and Cadence Design Systems, anticipating a negative impact from AI. Broader market trends show European banks reaching levels not seen since 2008, while media stocks are declining, particularly in Europe, due to AI concerns.

Bitcoin's price is hovering around $108,716, but there are indicators of a potential price increase. Corporations are increasingly adding Bitcoin to their reserves, with July and August seeing an addition of over 140,000 BTC to corporate holdings. This demand from companies is nearly equal to the total amount of new Bitcoin mined in a year, suggesting that demand is outpacing supply. Analysts suggest that increased institutional demand challenges concerns that Bitcoin's price could peak in 2025 and halving-driven supply dynamics may matter less in the current era of institutional adoption. Additionally, retail investors are also accumulating Bitcoin at the highest rate since April. Technical analysis shows Bitcoin trading between $107,490 and $109,640 with strong support around $107,800 and resistance near $109,600.

Bitcoin's price was around $108,591 at the end of August, while gold has been performing better recently. Bitcoin struggled to break past $112,000 and analysts are watching to see if it might fall to around $103,000 before potentially rising again. September has historically been a mixed month for Bitcoin, with more losing years than gaining years between 2017 and 2022, but it showed gains in both 2023 and 2024. Whether Bitcoin can recover and outperform gold will depend on how it handles the $112,000 resistance level and the $103,000 support level in September. Eric Trump suggested Bitcoin could reach $1 million one day.

Stephan Lutz, CEO of BitMEX, discusses his journey from traditional finance to leading the crypto derivatives exchange. BitMEX, founded in 2014, focuses on crypto derivatives, particularly Bitcoin-denominated products, and caters to both institutional and retail traders, with about 80% of its users being retail accounts. The exchange emphasizes security and transparency, having never been hacked and maintaining full segregation of assets. BitMEX is launching a copy trading feature to bridge traditional finance and crypto, allowing users to replicate successful traders' strategies. While BitMEX has historically not catered to U.S. traders, it is exploring the possibility of re-entering the U.S. market, although this would take time. The company is also rolling out its institutional-grade custody solution and moved its data centers to Tokyo to better serve institutional traders. Lutz acknowledges the challenge of following in the footsteps of BitMEX's previous CEO but values the access and influence the position provides.

Metaplanet, a Japanese company that shifted from hotel management to Bitcoin accumulation, has seen its stock price drop significantly, losing over half its value since mid-June after a period of rapid growth. To counter this and continue its Bitcoin buying strategy, Metaplanet plans to raise $884 million through overseas share sales and is seeking shareholder approval to issue 555 million preferred shares, potentially raising $3.8 billion. This capital would be used to achieve a goal of holding 100,000 Bitcoin by the end of 2026 and 200,000 by 2027. A previous financing method involving Evo Fund, which allowed Metaplanet to profit from stock increases to buy more Bitcoin, has become ineffective due to the stock's decline. Metaplanet's president views the preferred share issuance as a way to raise capital without negatively impacting common shareholders. Eric Trump is also involved, attending the shareholder meeting as an advisor and having received 3.3 million shares. Metaplanet currently holds 18,991 Bitcoin, valued at approximately $2.1 billion.

Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy (now Strategy), has indicated the company may purchase more Bitcoin. This follows a pattern where Saylor's posts have preceded announcements of Bitcoin acquisitions. Strategy has been aggressively buying Bitcoin, having recently added 3,081 BTC at an average price of $115,829 per coin, bringing their total holdings to 632,457 BTC. The company finances these purchases through equity markets, raising $5.6 billion in IPOs so far in 2025. Simultaneously, a class action lawsuit alleging Strategy misled shareholders about the benefits of fair-value accounting for digital assets has been dropped by the plaintiffs, removing a legal challenge for the company.

Bitcoin's price dropped 7% in August, while Ethereum's price increased by 17%. Over the past two months, Bitcoin has barely moved, while Ethereum surged 74%, impacting Bitcoin's market dominance. Some traders anticipate a Bitcoin rebound in September if market volatility continues and interest in new crypto stocks declines. Bitcoin has historically performed poorly in September, averaging a 3.7% decline since 2013, but October has typically been a strong month for Bitcoin. The Federal Reserve's upcoming policy meeting is also being closely watched, as a more relaxed approach to monetary policy could benefit Bitcoin. Bitcoin's increasing value is enabling wealthy individuals to purchase luxury items like private jet flights and cruises with crypto. Luxury travel companies are increasingly accepting crypto payments, especially from younger, crypto-rich clients, with travelers aged 30-40 expected to spend $54 billion on luxury travel by 2028.

Cardano (ADA) is facing ongoing controversies related to its founding organizations, including disputes, allegations of stifling innovation, and accusations of fund manipulation. These issues are raising doubts about Cardano's transparency and decentralization, potentially hindering the price of ADA. As a result, some ADA holders are considering alternative investments, like Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a new Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin in presale. Layer Brett offers potentially high staking rewards (6,000%-55,000% APY for early presale stakers) and is generating hype through its meme-driven community. The Layer Brett presale has already raised over $1.9 million, with a current staking reward of 1,320%. The presale price of Layer Brett is $0.0053 per token. Some analysts predict that Layer Brett could yield returns of 100x.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below a key level tracked by analysts for the second time in 2025. This level is the Short-Term Holder Realized Price, which represents the average price paid by investors who have held Bitcoin for 155 days or less. Historically, when Bitcoin's price drops below this level, it often leads to further price declines. The last time this happened, Bitcoin fell almost 20%. Currently, Bitcoin is around $108,675, slightly up in the last 24 hours but down over 5% in the past week. Analysts suggest that if the past repeats itself, Bitcoin could fall to around $86,000.

Dogecoin is being discussed in crypto communities, with speculation about it reaching $1 by 2026. Price predictions vary, with some analysts suggesting it could reach between $0.48 and $0.61 or even $1.71 by then, while others estimate a peak around $0.50. Meanwhile, Remittix, an alternative cryptocurrency, is gaining attention. It's priced at $0.10, has sold over 630 million tokens, raising over $22.4 million, and is focused on real-world applications like international payments. Remittix has been listed on BitMart and LBANK exchanges, plans to launch a wallet beta in Q3 2025, and is running a $250,000 giveaway. Its focus is on solving payment challenges and providing crypto to bank transfers in over 30 countries. Remittix is presented as a functional alternative to Dogecoin, potentially offering more reliable growth than the meme-driven cryptocurrency.

A new Bitcoin whale emerged on August 30 with a $163.5 million purchase of 1,506 BTC from Galaxy Digital. This activity suggests Bitcoin may be preparing for another rally, potentially reaching $150,000 by the end of 2025. Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, has indirectly predicted Bitcoin surges twice this year, advising investors not to sell during dips. Bitcoin is also currently at a golden cross on the charts, a pattern that has historically preceded significant price increases. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a new altcoin in presale, aims to enhance the Bitcoin network with faster speeds, lower fees, and Web3 compatibility by building a Layer 2 solution using the Solana Virtual Machine. The Bitcoin Hyper presale has raised over $13 million, with predictions suggesting a potential price increase to $0.32 by the end of the year, representing a 2,400% gain from its current price of $0.012835.

Over the past two weeks of August, large XRP holders, referred to as whales, purchased 340 million XRP tokens. This significant accumulation occurred as XRP's price faced a correction and traders awaited new trends. Simultaneously, the XRP Ledger underwent a major upgrade, introducing an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain using Cosmos technology, enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications. This upgrade allows XRP to be used for gas fees and connects it to over 120 other blockchains, with over $100 million in daily cross-chain volume already recorded. As of the end of August, the XRP price was $2.81, and market watchers anticipated further price correction before a potential rebound. The impact of whale purchases and the new XRP Ledger tools on future price movements remains uncertain, with potential for both price support and increased volatility.

California Governor Gavin Newsom has suggested creating a parody cryptocurrency called the Trump Corruption Coin in response to President Donald Trump's increasing involvement in the crypto industry. Newsom believes Trump's engagement with crypto firms, including his family's deals, creates potential conflicts of interest, especially when coinciding with policy decisions. Trump's administration has also appointed pro-crypto officials and signed executive orders to integrate digital assets into finance. Democrats, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, have raised concerns about ethical boundaries due to the overlap between Trump's personal crypto projects and regulatory actions, leading to proposed measures restricting public officials from investing in cryptocurrencies.

Hyperliquid, a crypto trading platform, has generated significantly more revenue than Ethereum and Solana in the last six months, earning $409 million in user fees. Despite this, its token, HYPE, is trading at a substantial discount compared to ETH and SOL. This price difference is attributed to Hyperliquid's unique token distribution, which favored early users over venture capitalists, and its strategy of using user fees to buy back HYPE tokens, reducing the token supply. Hyperliquid's platform offers fast, low-fee trading and has captured a notable share of the Bitcoin and Ethereum perpetuals market, with daily trading volumes reaching $10-$20 billion. The platform is expanding into its own Layer 1 ecosystem, HyperEVM. However, Hyperliquid faces risks including competition from larger exchanges and reliance on a small number of validators. The platform's annualized volume has surpassed $1.95 trillion and even though HYPE's valuation is at $48 billion, experts believe HYPE may be undervalued.

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has dropped to 23rd place in cryptocurrency rankings, while Dogecoin (DOGE) holds the 8th position. For SHIB to surpass DOGE, its market capitalization needs to increase by approximately 376.83% to around $35 billion, potentially bringing its price to $0.00005939. SHIB previously reached this price in October 2021 and even surpassed Dogecoin in rankings at times. Experts have varying predictions, with some forecasting SHIB to revisit the $0.000059 level, while others, including AI models, suggest it may take until 2035. A significant challenge for SHIB is the institutional interest in Dogecoin, reflected in ETF filings and treasury initiatives, which SHIB currently lacks.

Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin predicts that the price of ETH could increase by 100 times its current value, or potentially even more. He believes that major financial institutions like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs will increasingly use the Ethereum network for their operations, including validating transactions and building on its technology. Corporate treasuries such as Bitmine Immersion and Sharplink Gaming already hold a significant amount of ETH, representing 2.6% of the total ETH in circulation. Combined with inflows into new ETH ETFs, institutions now account for about 5% of the Ethereum supply this year. While September has historically been a difficult month for Ethereum, Lubin remains optimistic about its long-term potential due to increased institutional adoption, staking rewards, and ongoing network upgrades.

XRP's price is currently around $2.84, facing volatility after a recent dip from $3.02. It found support near $2.85. There's increased buying activity from South Korean institutions, who recently purchased about $45.5 million worth of XRP. The XRP Ledger is seeing increased use, with active addresses rising and Linklogis integrating it into its supply-chain finance platform. However, XRP is also affected by broader market downturns, including Bitcoin's decline and negative macroeconomic factors. Analyst predictions for XRP reaching $5 vary, depending on market conditions and its ability to maintain demand at current levels. Key support levels to watch are $2.79 and $2.58. There's speculation around a potential XRP ETF.

US-based crypto ETFs experienced a reversal in their recent positive trend on Friday, with significant outflows from both Ethereum and Bitcoin ETFs. Ethereum ETFs saw $164.64 million in outflows, led by Fidelity's FETH, Bitwise's ETHW, and Grayscale's ETHE and ETH. Bitcoin ETFs experienced $126.64 million in outflows, primarily from Fidelity's FBTC, ARKBs, and GBTC, though BlackRock's IBIT still saw inflows. The outflows are attributed to investor concerns over newly released inflation data, specifically the US core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index climbing 2.9% year-over-year. The future performance of these ETFs will likely depend on how investors interpret further economic data, with persistent inflation potentially leading to further outflows. Bitcoin needs to hold above $110,000 for any upside move to gain momentum and Ethereum needs to close above $4,500 to restore bullish confidence.

Pi Network has released an update including support for the Linux operating system. This allows greater flexibility for developers and partners by providing a standardized node software, improving maintenance and network consistency. The project is also upgrading its protocol from version 19 to 23, influenced by Stellar, to bring more functionality and control. This upgrade will be rolled out in stages, starting with Testnet1, followed by Testnet2 and Mainnet, potentially causing short outages for exchanges. The upgrade aims to address KYC issues, which will be discussed in a separate article. The Pi token has increased by over 5% to around $0.37, recovering from an all-time low of $0.33 on August 26. Upcoming token unlocks on September 2 and 6 may increase selling pressure, but this pressure should decrease afterward.

Bitcoin is struggling to stay above the $107,000 level. If it falls below this, analysts predict it could drop further, potentially to around $103,500, and possibly even between $101,000 and $98,000. To go higher, Bitcoin needs to break through resistance levels at $109,000-$110,000, $112,000, $114,500, and $117,000. Liquidity data suggests a larger pool of buy orders exists much lower, around $91,000-$92,000, which could attract the price if selling pressure increases. While Bitcoin is struggling, some other cryptocurrencies, known as altcoins, are holding their value relatively well. Ethereum is trading sideways, and XRP is maintaining its trendline support. The underperformance of Bitcoin is letting altcoins perform better in comparison.

Bitcoin's price has fallen below key support levels after reaching a new high earlier this month, suggesting a potential further decline in the short term. Technical analysis indicates that Bitcoin has broken below a major descending channel, the $110,000 support area, and the 100-day moving average. The next targets for a price drop are around the $104,000 area or even the $100,000 zone. Despite this, the amount of Bitcoin held on exchanges is decreasing, suggesting investors are moving their Bitcoin to long-term storage rather than keeping them available for sale. This decrease in available Bitcoin for trading could eventually support higher prices if demand remains steady or increases, although short-term price drops are still possible.

The crypto market is anticipated to close August positively but remains below the $4 trillion mark. Traders are optimistic about September due to potential rate cuts. The article highlights three 'Made in USA' cryptocurrencies to watch: Stellar (XLM), Story (IP), and Pi Coin (PI). Stellar's real-world asset growth is a key factor, with the Stellar Development Foundation aiming for significant on-chain assets by 2025. Story (IP) has seen substantial gains, driven by speculation about a buyback program and the Grayscale Story IP Trust. Pi Coin (PI) has underperformed but recent protocol upgrades and product launches may generate short-term interest. Technical indicators suggest potential price movements for each coin in September, with specific resistance and support levels identified. The article suggests potential for quick trading moves with Pi Network, while the overall price structure for Pi Coin remains bearish.

TRON experienced a large sell-off where major holders cashed out $1.4 billion worth of TRX tokens within 24 hours. Despite this significant profit-taking, the price of TRX has remained stable, holding above the $0.33 level. This suggests strong buying interest in the market that has absorbed the selling pressure. Analysts believe that if TRX maintains its price above $0.33, it could potentially increase in value. However, there is also a possibility of a price correction if the current support level does not hold.

Investors looking to get in on crypto presales, like MAGACOIN FINANCE, need to act quickly as allocations are limited and prices will likely be higher on exchanges later. To participate, research projects thoroughly using official sources, register on official presale portals, complete any required KYC verification, and prepare a compatible crypto wallet like MetaMask or Trust Wallet with the correct network settings. Purchasing tokens early secures discounted entry and possible bonus rewards. Missing the presale means potentially paying a premium after the tokens are listed on exchanges. MAGACOIN FINANCE is highlighted as a project with a pre-listing pricing window still open, representing a possible early access opportunity before the presale closes.

The Pyth Network's PYTH coin experienced a significant surge after the U.S. government announced plans to use the network for publishing economic data on-chain. The coin's price rallied over 100% on Thursday, accompanied by a massive increase in trading volume. PYTH coin volume jumped from $23.36 million to $1.42 billion. While the price increase pushed PYTH into overbought territory, leading to some profit-taking and spot outflows of $12 million, prices retained some of their recent gains. The U.S. Department of Commerce's adoption of Pyth Network is a major catalyst, however the cryptocurrency has about 9 months before the next unlock event, after which the supply will balloon to 7.87 billion coins.

Bitcoin has dropped 12.18% in the last two weeks, trading around $109,000. A key support level to watch is $107,800, representing the average cost of recently purchased coins. If Bitcoin falls below this level, it could trigger more selling. The next support level is around $93,400. On the other hand, if Bitcoin rises above $112,600-$116,400, it could regain bullish momentum. Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $109,400, down 5.65% over the past month, with a daily trading volume of $50.48 billion and a market cap of $2.15 trillion.

Wealthy Americans are increasingly investing in private credit funds, shifting the market's focus from banks and pension funds to affluent individuals. These funds attracted $48 billion from wealthy individuals in the first six months of 2025, surpassing the total raised in 2023, with projections to exceed the $83.4 billion raised in 2024. This growth is driven by evergreen funds like non-traded BDCs and interval funds, which allow continuous investment and are favored by wealthy families. Blackstone leads the market with its Bcred fund reaching $73 billion in assets, followed by competitors like Cliffwater, Apollo, Blue Owl and Ares Management. A similar trend is emerging in Europe, with evergreen private debt funds doubling in the past year. However, concerns are raised about the opaque and illiquid nature of private credit, potential risks during economic downturns, and increased competition squeezing returns.

Crypto exchange Changelly has projected that XRP could reach $501.59 by February 2040, representing a potential 17,499.7% gain from its current price of around $3. They also suggest a possible maximum price of $2,406 by December 2040, an 84,321.1% increase. To reach these prices, XRP's market cap would need to significantly increase, potentially surpassing the value of gold and even the global stock market. Other AI models offer different predictions. ChatGPT suggests XRP could reach $501 between 2040 and 2050, considering $2,406 unrealistic. Google Gemini declined to provide a timeline, viewing the projections as unlikely. Grok AI sees $501 as potentially achievable between 2030 and 2035 under ideal conditions, but considers $2,406 unrealistic in the next 10-20 years.

Optimism around Cardano (ADA) has increased due to Grayscale's SEC filing for a Cardano ETF, raising the approval odds to 87%. This suggests potential interest and investment from larger institutions. ADA's price is currently in a pattern that could lead to a breakout, with potential price targets of $1.32 and $1.80 if it breaks through resistance at $0.94. Buyers have been consistently purchasing ADA during price drops, indicating accumulation. A successful ETF approval could act as a catalyst, potentially driving ADA's price up significantly.

Bitcoin advisor Luke Broyles predicts Bitcoin could reach $5 million to $10 million, even though skeptics will likely remain unconvinced. He believes that investor skepticism, fueled by a lack of understanding of crypto technology, is hindering Bitcoin's potential for mainstream adoption. The article also discusses Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), a Layer 2 solution designed to improve Bitcoin's transaction speed and scalability. Bitcoin Hyper aims to address Bitcoin's limitation of 7 transactions per second, using tools like the Canonical Bridge and Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) to boost performance. The $HYPER presale has already raised $13 million. The article suggests that favorable crypto legislation, growing institutional support, and mainstream adoption are key factors that could drive Bitcoin's price upward and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is likely to benefit.

Following the approval of Bitcoin ETFs, the crypto market is seeing renewed interest in alternative cryptocurrencies. Avalanche (AVAX) is being watched for a potential breakout due to its strong blockchain technology, with analysts suggesting it could reach new price levels if it overcomes resistance. Shiba Inu (SHIB), while currently down from its all-time high, is still on investors' radar due to its strong community and potential for short-term gains if meme coin interest returns. A new cryptocurrency in presale, MAGACOIN FINANCE, is also gaining attention, with forecasts of a significant return on investment by 2025. Investors are considering these altcoins as potential opportunities after the recent ETF hype.

Historically, September has often been a difficult month for Bitcoin, with prices tending to decline. This is attributed to factors like investors taking profits or covering expenses, and a general expectation of price drops. August 2025 saw Bitcoin reach a high of $124,533 before falling by 11% due to a large Bitcoin sell-off by a whale, resulting in significant market liquidations. The market's thin liquidity amplified the price volatility. A crypto trader suggests three possible scenarios for September: a sideways trading range between $110,000 and $120,000, a further price drop if Bitcoin falls below $110,000, or a quick price rebound if institutions buy aggressively. Traders should pay attention to options market activity and macroeconomic signals to gauge market sentiment as September unfolds.

Bitcoin's price experienced volatility in August, initially reaching a high above $124,000 but subsequently declining to around $107,500 by August 29th, a six-week low. It's currently struggling to break above $110,000. Analysis suggests that large investors selling off their holdings contributed to the price decrease. Two potential support levels to watch are the Short-Term Holder Realized Price, representing the average price paid by investors holding for 1 to 3 months, and the Realized Value Models Mid Price around $92,000, considered a reliable long-term support. If Bitcoin falls below $92,000, it could face a longer period of price decline. Currently, Bitcoin is priced around $108,689, showing minimal change in the last 24 hours and a nearly 6% decrease over the past week.

The article discusses whether Dogecoin (DOGE) or Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is more likely to reach $1. Analysts favor Mutuum Finance due to its DeFi mechanics, including a stablecoin system where users can borrow against ETH deposits. Mutuum Finance is in Phase 6 of its presale, priced at $0.035, and has generated around $15.14 million with over 15,850 holders participating; 30% of the tokens allocated for Phase 6 are sold. Mutuum Finance has undergone a CertiK audit, receiving a Token Scan Score of 95.00 and a Skynet Score of 78.00. The project intends to launch a beta version, integrate with a Layer-2 solution, and use protocol revenue to buy back MUTM tokens and distribute them to mtToken stakers. Investors in Phase 6 could see a potential 28.57x profit if MUTM reaches $1. Phase 7 will introduce a 15% price increase.

Shiba Inu's price is struggling, having fallen over 70% from its peak to around $0.00001239. Due to this decline and concerns about further price drops, some traders are shifting their focus to new projects that offer real-world uses. One such project is Remittix (RTX), which aims to provide crypto-to-bank transfers in over 30 countries. Remittix has already raised $22.4 million, sold over 630 million tokens, is priced at $0.10, and is planning to launch a wallet supporting multiple cryptocurrencies and traditional currencies in Q3 2025. It has also secured listings on the BitMart and LBANK exchanges, and aims to facilitate global payments for businesses. The shift from Shiba Inu to Remittix reflects a move towards cryptocurrencies with practical applications rather than just speculative trading.

Thai authorities arrested a Russian national, Dmitrii, on Koh Samui for allegedly robbing another Russian, Aleksandr, of approximately 1.2 million baht worth of USDT cryptocurrency (around 35,000 USDT) in Phuket. Aleksandr reported being lured to a meeting, attacked by four Russian nationals, and forced to transfer his crypto. Dmitrii was caught hiding in a car trunk, attempting to flee with the help of another Russian national, Stolbov Gleb. He is being transferred back to Phuket for legal proceedings. This incident is part of a growing trend of crypto-related kidnappings and robberies globally, prompting wealthy crypto holders to seek private security.

World Liberty Financials' WLFI token is generating significant interest before its September 1 launch. Futures contracts for WLFI have surpassed $800 million in open interest, indicating heavy trading activity. Data shows a 68% increase in open interest in the past day, reaching $809.3 million, alongside a 141% jump in trading volume to $1.76 billion, with Binance accounting for over half of this activity. A notable trade on the Hyperliquid exchange shows a whale account holding over 8.6 million WLFI with 3x leverage, initially showing $644,000 in gains and later updated to nearly $1 million. Major platforms like OKX are preparing for the launch, converting pre-market contracts into perpetual futures and opening deposits for the token.

According to an article, XRP's price could potentially reach around $25 if it manages to attract 2% of the $60 trillion held in global retirement accounts. This projection is based on a scenario where changes in US policy, such as the Federal Reserve ending restrictions on banks working with crypto and an executive order encouraging retirement accounts to consider digital assets, could lead to increased institutional investment in cryptocurrencies. The article mentions that a similar 2% allocation to Bitcoin could drive its price to $175,000, and if XRP were to receive a comparable boost in value, its price could significantly increase from its current level of $2.82.

Korean retail investors are heavily investing in U.S.-listed crypto-related stocks, even as the share prices of these companies decline. So far this year, Korean individuals have purchased over $12 billion in shares of companies like Bitmine, Circle Internet Group, and Coinbase. In August alone, they invested $426 million in Bitmine, $226 million in Circle, and $183 million in Coinbase, as well as $282 million in a 2x Ether ETF. Despite significant drops in share prices, specifically in Bitmine (down nearly 68% from its peak) and Circle (down over 50%), Korean investors continued to buy these stocks. However, there are signals that the buying enthusiasm may be slowing down, as noted by 10x Research, with examples like KakaoPay's decline.

Solana is experiencing increased interest due to over $1 billion in investments into its digital asset treasuries. This signals confidence in the Solana blockchain and is expected to benefit smaller projects within the Solana ecosystem, known as beta plays. The article highlights three Solana-based assets, Jito ($JTO), Kamino ($KMNO), and Jupiter ($JUP), as projects to watch. Jito is the largest liquid staking protocol on Solana. Kamino is a leading lending sector platform. Jupiter offers a suite of DeFi services. These projects could see significant growth due to increased capital flowing into Solana, but also carry higher risks due to their volatility. Investors should monitor these assets as the Solana network expands, keeping in mind the unpredictability of the market.

XRP's price is currently stable around $2.8, after failing to maintain support at the $3 level. Technical analysis suggests this sideways movement is a temporary consolidation phase before a potential upward price swing. The price has been in this consolidation pattern since early 2025, with a previous attempt to break out in July. An analyst suggests that as long as XRP remains above $2.8, it has the potential for another price increase. The analyst's chart indicates possible future price targets of $7, $11, $18, and even $27 if XRP breaks above its long-term consolidation zone, potentially around late September 2025. Currently, XRP is trading at $2.83.

US-based Ethereum ETFs experienced a significant shift on Friday, August 29th, breaking a six-day streak of positive inflows with a total net outflow of $164.64 million. Grayscale's Ethereum Mini Trust saw the largest withdrawals at over $61.3 million, followed by Fidelity's Ethereum Fund at $51.02 million. Grayscale's other Ethereum Trust also experienced outflows of $28.64 million, while Bitwise Ethereum ETF saw $23.68 million in outflows. Despite Friday's negative performance, Ethereum ETFs still recorded a substantial weekly net inflow of $1.08 billion, a sharp contrast to the $237.7 million net outflow in the previous week. The price of Ethereum experienced downward pressure on Friday, reflecting the correlation between ETF flows and the digital asset's price. As of the time of writing, the price of ETH is approximately $4,383.

Dogecoin's price has fallen from $0.245 to around $0.21-$0.2296, with weekly losses of 1.16%-10.50%, causing concern among investors. This decline coincides with a broader market downturn, including a slight drop in Bitcoin's price. As Dogecoin struggles, a new memecoin called Layer Brett ($LBRETT) is gaining attention. Currently in presale at $0.0053, some analysts predict it could increase in value by 100 times, drawing comparisons to PEPE's earlier rapid growth. Layer Brett is built on Ethereum Layer 2 and claims to offer faster transactions and additional features like staking and NFT capabilities. PEPE had a massive price surge followed by a crash, but later recovered, demonstrating the potential for community-driven memecoins. Some investors believe Layer Brett could be the next cryptocurrency to experience significant gains.

Bitcoin experienced a rough August, declining 8% and erasing its summer rally. This contrasts sharply with Ether, which rose 14% during the same period. While Bitcoin spot ETFs saw inflows, Ether ETFs attracted significantly more capital this month, with $4 billion flowing into Ether ETFs compared to $629 million for Bitcoin ETFs. This shift in capital allocation may be due to limited capital and Ether's smaller market cap. Historically, September has also been a challenging month for Bitcoin, with declines in eight out of the last twelve years.

The official Litecoin account on X (formerly Twitter) posted a controversial message that criticized XRP, a different cryptocurrency. This caused a stir online, with people from both the Litecoin and XRP communities arguing about it. The Litecoin tweet questioned the value of XRP, comparing it to a "digital bank drive-up tube." Many people reacted negatively, pointing out Litecoin's past issues and questioning the motives behind the tweet. Some XRP supporters reminded people that Litecoin's value has decreased significantly since it was a top cryptocurrency. However, some Litecoin supporters defended the tweet, saying that Litecoin is used more for transactions than XRP.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is planning to launch a memecoin called "Trump Corruption Coin" to criticize Donald Trump's involvement in the cryptocurrency market. Newsom intends for the coin to highlight what he considers Trump's use of memecoins and crypto to enhance his political image. Trump has reportedly made millions through memecoins, NFTs, and other crypto ventures, disclosing earnings of $57.4 million from World Liberty Financial and holding 15.75 billion WLFI governance tokens. His company, Trump Media and Technology Group, holds over $2 billion in Bitcoin and other digital assets, with estimated crypto earnings of $2.4 billion since 2022, representing a significant portion of his political-era wealth.

The article promotes BlockchainFX ($BFX) as a superior investment opportunity compared to Dogecoin, highlighting its ongoing presale. It states that BlockchainFX is a live trading app that combines crypto, stocks, forex, and commodities, already boasting over 10,000 daily users and having passed a CertiK audit. A key feature is the redistribution of up to 70% of trading fees to token holders in USDT, promising up to 90% APY even during the presale. The presale price has increased from $0.02 to $0.021, raising over $6.28 million, with a guaranteed launch price of $0.05. The article mentions a $100,000 buy-in competition and a $500,000 giveaway to incentivize early adoption. It forecasts substantial growth for BlockchainFX, projecting significant increases in revenue, user base, and trading volume by 2030, and confirms listings on five centralized exchanges. The article contrasts this with Dogecoin's slowing growth and suggests that investors may experience regret by sticking with Dogecoin rather than exploring new presales like BlockchainFX. A limited-time offer to get 35% more BFX tokens with the code AUG35 is advertised.

In August 2025, the BAY Miner app is enabling Ethereum investors to earn passive income, potentially exceeding $40,000 per month, through cloud mining. The app offers a user-friendly interface, eliminating the need for traditional mining hardware and infrastructure, and supports ETH, BTC, and XRP mining. Ethereum's increased transaction volume, ETF inflows exceeding $4 billion monthly, and the Dencun Upgrade have contributed to its strength, attracting institutional capital. BAY Miner offers various mining plans, such as a Bitcoin Basic Plan with a $100 investment yielding $4 daily over two days and a Premium Plan with a $50,000 investment yielding $910 daily over 45 days, along with sign-up and referral bonuses.

Web3 startups secured $9.6 billion in venture capital in the second quarter of 2025, marking the second-highest quarterly total ever, although the number of deals decreased to its lowest point since mid-2023. Investors are now prioritizing fewer, larger investments in infrastructure-related areas like validator networks and compute capabilities. Private token sales experienced a surge, while public sales significantly declined, indicating a move towards strategically planned, institutionally driven fundraising activities. The median deal sizes have increased across all stages, which is reflective of a growing confidence and focus on essential infrastructure projects. Specifically, Series A funding has rebounded, with the median size of these rounds reaching $17.6 million, the highest since early 2022. June concluded the quarter with a record-breaking $5.14 billion raised, establishing it as the strongest fundraising quarter in recent years, with investment trends showing a strong focus on infrastructure-for-consumer platforms. A fund called Pure Crypto, established in 2018, has seen returns of nearly 1,000% and is preparing to launch its fourth fund, anticipating a final wave of venture-style profits in the crypto sector before increased regulation and corporate adoption potentially change the landscape.

A Bitcoin thriller movie called 'Killing Satoshi' is set to release in 2026, starring Pete Davidson and possibly Casey Affleck, and directed by Doug Liman. The movie will explore the mystery surrounding the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the creator of Bitcoin, and the potential threat this poses to global power structures. The film will depict the creation of Bitcoin in 2009 and how it has impacted global finance, portraying Bitcoin as a symbol of freedom for supporters and a threat to governments and corporations. Filming will begin in London in October. The movie producers highlight the action-packed drama, political intrigue, and high-tech espionage that will be featured as forces compete for control.

XRP is currently trading at $2.82, with a market capitalization of $167.5 billion. Large holders of XRP have been selling off their holdings throughout 2025, while retail traders are increasingly bullish, with open interest at $2.87 billion. Gemini and Ripple have launched an XRP credit card offering cashback rewards. CME XRP futures contracts have reached $1 billion in open interest quickly, leading to speculation about a spot XRP ETF being approved by the end of 2025. Technically, XRP price is below a descending trendline, with key resistance at $2.99 and support at $2.79. A breakout above $2.99 could lead to a rally towards $3.43, while a drop below $2.79 could result in a fall to $2.28. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is launching as a Bitcoin-native Layer 2 solution powered by Solana, with its presale already exceeding $13 million.

Bitcoin's price has slightly increased by 1.50% to around $109,000 after a price correction. According to CryptoQuant data, Bitcoin may experience further price drops before a full recovery. Historically, strong Bitcoin rebounds have occurred when the Trader Realized Profit/Loss Margin (P/L Margin) reaches around -12%, indicating significant losses for short-term holders. Currently, the P/L Margin is around -2%, suggesting more losses might be needed before a significant rebound. Bitcoin's realized price, the average cost basis of all coins, is about $112,000. Sustained trading above this level could signal a bullish phase, while trading below it could indicate further selling pressure. For market sentiment to stabilize, Bitcoin needs to break above the $112,000 level, potentially targeting $116,000.

A Dutch cryptocurrency firm, Amdax, has launched a new Bitcoin treasury company called AMBTS and raised $23.3 million in initial funding. AMBTS aims to acquire a significant portion of the total Bitcoin supply, targeting 210,000 BTC, which is about 1% of all Bitcoins that will ever exist. AMBTS will be listed on the Euronext stock exchange in Amsterdam. This move joins a growing trend of companies, including Strategy, Tesla, and Block, Inc., adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets or being created to accumulate Bitcoin. These companies see Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

United States and Dutch authorities have jointly shut down VerifTools, an online marketplace selling fake IDs, which accepted cryptocurrency as payment. The marketplace generated over $6.4 million in revenue and had an annual turnover of approximately $1.5 million, making it a significant international facilitator of fake documents. The operation involved seizing physical and virtual servers in Amsterdam and taking control of the marketplace's domains. Users of the site could upload a photo and fake data to create counterfeit identification, including driver's licenses, often purchased with crypto. Authorities are continuing to analyze the seized data to identify and apprehend the website's administrators. The takedown aims to combat fraud and identity theft.

Recent news suggests Pepe Coin's price could potentially increase significantly, with some predicting gains of up to 8,000% by January 2025 if it breaks past a key resistance level. On-chain data indicates whales are accumulating Pepe Coin, while exchange balances are decreasing, and technical indicators hint at a bullish trend. The article also highlights Remittix (RTX) as a promising alternative altcoin, having raised over $22.4 million and secured listings on BitMart and LBank. Remittix aims to provide a crypto-to-fiat payment system, allowing users to convert cryptocurrency into traditional currency and send it to bank accounts worldwide. The company's wallet beta release is scheduled for September 15th. Analysts suggest Remittix could experience substantial growth due to its focus on real-world usability and addressing remittance challenges. There is also a $250K giveaway.

Recent XRP news reveals mixed signals for investors. XRP's price briefly fell below $2.80, causing concern, while some large holders have been selling off their XRP, data indicates that other big investors are accumulating it, seeing the price dip as a buying opportunity. Overall network growth is also strong, with new addresses increasing. Ripple achieved a legal resolution in early August 2025, removing a major obstacle for XRP. Consequently, institutional investors, especially in Asia like Japan's SBI, are showing renewed interest, with SBI planning a $1 billion XRP purchase. There are also moves towards a potential XRP ETF in the U.S., suggesting mainstream acceptance. XRP faces resistance around $3.10-$3.20 and could see further downside pressure if it fails to recover from its current price below $2.80, potentially dropping to $2.50 or even $2.20. Despite short-term volatility, the long-term outlook is positive due to regulatory clarity and growing institutional adoption.

The Ethereum Community Foundation (ECF) has launched a new token called BETH to create a more transparent record of Ether tokens that are permanently removed from circulation, also known as burning. BETH is created when users send ETH to a burn address, receiving an equivalent amount of BETH in return. This aims to make the burning of ETH more visible and usable in decentralized applications. Ethereum's current system burns a portion of transaction fees, but BETH provides a tangible token representing the burned amount. Since the 2021 London upgrade, 4.6 million ETH have been burned, while over 8 million new tokens were issued. BETH could enable features like burn-based voting and auctions, but users are advised to treat it as a receipt and not an asset with intrinsic value. Developers are exploring ways to build on BETH, potentially creating new industries around proof-of-burn.

XRP has experienced a price decline of over 20% since mid-July. It has approached a critical support level of $2.76, which analysts believe is vital for maintaining a bullish market structure. A break below this level could signal further downward movement. Simultaneously, after previously selling off 470 million XRP tokens, Ripple whales have recently accumulated 340 million XRP tokens in the last two weeks, worth over $950 million. This accumulation is viewed as a potentially positive sign, suggesting a possible price recovery for XRP.

Ethereum is currently trading around $4,464, with a market cap near $536 billion. Ethereum co-founder Joseph Lubin predicts it could increase 100 times its current value, potentially surpassing Bitcoin. He believes Wall Street's adoption of decentralized technology, including staking and Layer 2 solutions, will drive this growth, as banks like JPMorgan could save money by using Ethereum. Technically, Ethereum is showing signs of strength after bouncing from a support level of around $4,265. There's resistance expected at $4,665 and $4,865, with a potential target of $5,100 if it breaks through. Also, a project called Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is launching a presale, aiming to combine Bitcoin security with Solana's speed for faster transactions and decentralized applications. The presale has already raised over $13 million, with tokens priced at $0.012835.

The article identifies five altcoins that analysts believe have the potential to increase tenfold before the anticipated altcoin season in 2025. These include Ethereum, currently trading near $4,600 with a 37% year-to-date gain, driven by institutional demand; Solana, holding above $200, boasting a DeFi ecosystem exceeding $11.3 billion in total value locked; Cardano, priced under $1, awaiting a potential ETF decision in October; XRP, consolidating between $2.75 and $3.05 with ETF approval anticipated; and MAGACOIN FINANCE, a lesser-known project experiencing community growth and whale accumulation. The author suggests MAGACOIN FINANCE has the highest potential for gains, particularly before major exchange listings. Investors may consider a mix of established altcoins like Ethereum, Solana, Cardano and XRP as well as high potential altcoins such as MAGACOIN FINANCE.

Eric Trump, co-founder of American Bitcoin (ABTC) and son of former U.S. President Donald Trump, reiterated his prediction that Bitcoin will reach $1 million, citing increased demand from governments and large institutions. His mining company, ABTC, is preparing to become publicly traded through a reverse merger with Gryphon Digital Mining in September. Following the merger announcement, Gryphon's stock has increased significantly. ABTC currently holds 215 BTC, but estimates suggest their reserves could be much larger. However, Bitcoin's price has recently decreased by 13% from its recent high. Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has cautioned that Bitcoin reaching $1 million could indicate a collapse of the U.S. economy. Other analysts have expressed concerns about the long-term viability of corporate Bitcoin treasury strategies.

Bitcoin's price, which has been struggling below $110,000, may be showing signs of a potential recovery. According to crypto analyst Willy Woo, on-chain data indicates the market may have reached a bottom. Positive capital inflows have been recorded for the first time in weeks, suggesting increased investment in Bitcoin. Additionally, a decline in the Macro Cycle Risk indicator suggests liquidity is returning to the Bitcoin network. The Risk-Off signal is also decreasing, hinting that investors are shifting away from cautious positions. As of now, Bitcoin is priced around $108,756, reflecting a 1% increase in the last 24 hours.

Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg predicts that XRP spot ETFs, if launched, could attract $5 billion in inflows within the first month, potentially surpassing the performance of Ethereum ETFs. He believes XRP's strong recognition among Wall Street investors and the support of the XRP community will drive rapid adoption. The likelihood of an XRP ETF approval in 2025 is estimated to be high, with analysts suggesting an 85% probability. McClurg also suggests other cryptocurrencies like Solana, Litecoin, and HBAR may also receive ETF approval. XRP's focus on payments and cross-border settlements, unlike Ethereum's broader applications, could make it more appealing to traditional financial institutions.

Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, both popular meme cryptocurrencies, are pursuing different strategies. Dogecoin aims to be a simple payment system with an unlimited coin supply, relying heavily on community support and Elon Musk's influence. Shiba Inu focuses on scarcity through token burning and is developing a broader ecosystem, including Shibarium (a Layer-2 network), ShibaSwap (a decentralized exchange), and metaverse plans. Dogecoin uses its own blockchain while Shiba Inu operates on the Ethereum network. Dogecoin adds 5 billion coins annually, whereas Shiba Inu has significantly reduced its initial supply through burns. Dogecoin is developing tools for easy payments, while Shiba Inu is building a comprehensive decentralized platform. Both cryptocurrencies are influenced by large holders of their coins, creating a concentration risk. Dogecoin seeks adoption as a digital currency, while Shiba Inu aims to become a full decentralized ecosystem.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $109,086 with a market capitalization of $2.17 trillion. Social media mentions of "buy the dip" are increasing, which historically suggests further price drops before a bottom is reached. Bitcoin has been in a descending channel since mid-August. Key resistance levels to watch are $111,350, $113,500, and $114,136. Support levels are $107,300, $105,150, and $103,350. A breakout above $111,350 could lead to a rally towards $130,000 in the medium term. Conversely, a breakdown could lead to further declines. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is conducting a presale for its token, which aims to integrate Bitcoin security with Solana's speed and scalability and has already raised over $13 million.

Bitcoin's price faced resistance around $109,500 after a volatile week. It had previously dropped to a seven-week low of $107,200 before bouncing back. Most alternative cryptocurrencies (altcoins) have declined over the past week, with Ethereum falling below $4,500 and XRP struggling around $2.80. However, CRO significantly increased by 81% due to a major adoption announcement by Trump Media Group, reaching close to $0.30. Other altcoins that showed gains include POL (13%) and Pi Networks PI token (7%). The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has decreased by about $200 billion in the last week, settling at $3.850 trillion.

Ethereum's price increased over 23% in August, breaking a negative trend, but September is historically a weaker month for it. A key indicator, Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL), suggests some holders may sell off profits, potentially causing price volatility. Historically, similar NUPL levels have preceded price drops. Companies buying Ethereum and its use in DeFi could offer support. A strong support zone exists between $4,323 and $4,375, while a significant resistance zone lies between $4,482 and $4,592. Technical charts show a break below an ascending trendline and a bearish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), indicating potentially weaker upward momentum. If the price reclaims $4,579, the target is $4,956. Key support levels to watch are $4,345 and $4,156. Closing under $4,156 could delay a bullish trend. Overcoming the $5,000 mark would be a psychological victory and establish a new support level.

In India, 14 individuals, including 11 current and former police officers and one former legislator, received life sentences for kidnapping and extorting a businessman in 2018 over his cryptocurrency. The victim was forced to transfer 34 Bitcoin, then valued at approximately $150,000. The trial involved 172 witnesses, but many later changed their testimonies. Separately, the victim himself is being investigated for allegedly extorting Bitcoin and cash from BitConnect promoters. In related news, Indian authorities conducted raids concerning a $29 million Bitcoin fraud, where scammers posed as law enforcement or tech support to steal cryptocurrency which was converted to USDT and moved via hawala to the UAE. Additionally, assets worth 42.8 crore were seized in connection with a $4.7 million crypto scam involving a fake Coinbase website.

Solana's staking market capitalization has surpassed Ethereum's, making it the largest blockchain by staked value. Approximately 67-70% of Solana's circulating supply, equating to around 410-420 million SOL tokens, is currently being staked, resulting in a staking market cap of roughly $67-70 billion. This edges out Ethereum, whose staking market cap is around $65-68 billion, with approximately 28-30% of its supply staked. Solana's higher staking yields, ranging from 8.3% to 11.5% APY, are a key factor in its growth and surpassing Ethereum, which offers around 3% APY. Additionally, Solana's open interest has crossed $12 billion, and its Total Value Locked has reached $11.49 billion, indicating increased institutional interest and ecosystem growth.

Solana's price has shown resilience, staying above $200 despite a recent dip from a high of $218 on August 29, while Bitcoin has been declining. An analyst suggests this correction phase is healthy and could set Solana up for a breakout. The analyst expects a potential liquidity test between $202.5 and $195.3, but believes that holding above $200 during this dip will pave the way for a rise to $240. Solana broke above $210 before eventually reaching $218, and investors then realized close to $1 billion in profits. Resistance levels to watch are $216.5 and $220 before reaching $240, and then $244 if the price extends beyond that. Support levels are at $202.5, $198, and $195.3. Solana is currently trading at $205, showing a 1.6% increase in the last 24 hours.

This week in African crypto news, Mastercard is expanding its partnership with Circle to allow payments using the USDC stablecoin in the Middle East, Africa, and Eastern Europe. This will enable Mastercard users in these regions to settle transactions using USDC. In Kenya, InVastor has launched an educational program to teach lawmakers about crypto by giving them small amounts to manage and providing guidance. Kenya's parliament is also considering a Virtual Asset Service Providers Bill.

A new cryptocurrency called LayerBrett ($LBRETT) is generating buzz and being compared to past successful meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and PEPE. Analysts are suggesting it has the potential for significant profit, possibly up to 10,000%. Shiba Inu, launched in 2020, experienced massive gains of over 88,000,000% before declining from its peak. Cardano (ADA) also saw substantial growth but is now considered a more stable, long-term investment. LayerBrett aims to combine meme appeal with practical use as a Layer 2 project on Ethereum, offering faster transactions and staking rewards. It is currently in presale, with a $1 million giveaway for early investors.

XRP is currently trading around $2.8 after a recent price increase to $3. Activity in the derivatives market, including futures and options, suggests traders are anticipating another significant price movement. If XRP's price rises above $3, it could potentially reach $3.5. However, if it falls below $2.8, it might drop to $2.5. The price is closely tied to the actions of derivatives traders, whose renewed investment could trigger a sharp price swing in either direction.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $108,700, showing little change recently. However, some indicators suggest a potential market bottom. The Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR), which tracks whether short-term holders are selling at a profit or loss, has dropped, indicating many are selling at a loss, which can signal a market bottom. A similar pattern was observed in April when Bitcoin rebounded after a low SOPR. UTXO Realized Price Distribution (URPD) data shows significant support around $107,000 to $108,200, meaning many Bitcoins were previously bought at these levels, providing price stability. Resistance is building around $113,200 and $114,400, with a major barrier at $116,900. A key level to watch is $107,300; falling below this could indicate further price declines. Overcoming $113,500 is crucial for a potential rebound.

This week in crypto news from Asia, Japan's SBI Group made several partnerships to expand blockchain technology. They are working with Circle and Ripple to increase the use of stablecoins, and with Startale to create a platform for trading tokenized assets. SBI also partnered with Chainlink to build blockchain tools for financial companies, focusing on tokenizing real-world assets and facilitating cross-border payments. In the Philippines, a bill was proposed that would require the central bank to buy 2,000 Bitcoin each year for five years, totaling 10,000 Bitcoin, to be held in reserve for 20 years, with the goal of enhancing national security and debt stability.

Despite increased crypto adoption, particularly given political support, the article suggests gold and Bitcoin serve different hedging purposes and should not be seen as replacements for each other. Gold has historically performed well as a hedge against stock market declines, demonstrated by its positive performance during the 2022 bear market when the S&P 500 fell almost 20% while gold rose approximately 5%. Bitcoin, while struggling during equity downturns, has shown a tendency to act as a counterweight to bond market stress. For example, in 2023, while bond prices declined, Bitcoin held up better than gold. Year-to-date as of August 31, gold was up more than 30%, while Bitcoin gained about 16.46%. The S&P 500 is up roughly 10%. This divergence illustrates how gold has benefited from equity volatility, while Bitcoin has performed steadily amidst fluctuations in the bond market. While Bitcoin's correlation with equities has grown in 2025 due to ETF inflows, and short-term shocks can impact both assets, the core principle remains: gold and Bitcoin offer distinct hedging properties against different market risks.

Ethereum's price is potentially at risk of falling below $4,000 due to significant selling activity by large holders, known as whales. In the past two weeks, these whales have sold over 430,000 ETH, worth approximately $1.8 billion. This contrasts with their accumulation of ETH in July and August. This selling pressure could be compounded if smaller investors follow suit. Ethereum briefly fell to $4,250 before recovering to $4,450, but a further drop to $4,000 is possible. If this support level fails, the next support level is around $3,800. Conversely, one whale has been consistently exchanging Bitcoin for Ethereum, purchasing roughly $3.4 billion worth of ETH while selling off large amounts of Bitcoin.

Pi Network's token, currently trading around $0.385, has seen a slight increase recently after hitting a low of $0.3303 on August 25. However, a large release of approximately 149 million tokens is scheduled for September, which could potentially lower the price. Trading activity has also decreased since mid-May, which could make the price more unstable. Despite these challenges, the token was recently listed on Swapfone and a Pi-linked exchange-traded product (ETP) was launched in Europe by Valour. These new developments, along with protocol upgrades, have boosted confidence in Pi Network. Whether Pi can reach $1 again depends on if positive factors like the ETP and exchange listings can outweigh the negative pressures of the token release and low trading activity.

The University of Hong Kong's business school is considering accepting Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for tuition fees and donations. This follows Hong Kong's recent implementation of the Stablecoin Ordinance on August 1st, as the region aims to become a global hub for virtual assets. Professor Cai Hongin, Dean of the Business School, stated that technical details are being worked out and that the university is ready to explore cryptocurrency payments. An official statement from the HKU Business School confirmed this exploration of cryptocurrencies as a payment option. The Hong Kong government is actively working to create a crypto-friendly environment, including the new Stablecoin Ordinance that regulates fiat-backed stablecoins and stricter rules for licensed crypto exchanges, with the goal of becoming a major center for virtual assets.

As Q3 ends, Avalanche is trying to stay above $23, aiming for $28 then $32, but could fall back to between $17 and $22 if it fails to hold. Polkadot is around $3.95, hoping to break $4 for a potential 50% increase, supported by Paraguay's $6 million investment in a blockchain project using Polkadot's framework. Meanwhile, MAGACOIN FINANCE, a new project, is gaining attention with its presale after security audits. Early investors are getting a 50% bonus with code PATRIOT50X, making it a watched altcoin. Traders are interested in MAGACOIN FINANCE because it offers early entry advantages, while Avalanche and Polkadot are moving slower.

Bitcoin is experiencing volatility, struggling to maintain support after dropping below $110,000. Galaxy Digital, an institutional player, sold 1,167 Bitcoin, adding selling pressure to the market. Bitcoin is currently trading around $108,764. Analysts are divided on whether this is a temporary consolidation or the start of a larger correction. Key support levels to watch are around $101,207. A strong recovery above $110,000 is needed to restore confidence, otherwise, Bitcoin could decline towards $100,000.
