ApeCoin Launches $RAID Strategy to Tap 100M+ Users with Solana Expansion

The post ApeCoin Launches $RAID Strategy to Tap 100M+ Users with Solana Expansion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways: ApeCoin launches Project R.A.I.D to transition from a governance token to a full-fledged “culture coin” with real-world utility.

At the core, RAID is attempting to accomplish three things: Expand ApeCoin across multiple chains, starting with Solana. Integrate with major DeFi protocols, including lending, staking, and perpetuals. Improve liquidity and accessibility by distributing $APE among a wider range of wallets using centralized and decentralized exchanges. The project’s tagline speaks for itself: “The Ticker is $APE.

Trusted Smart Chain Now Operational Unlocking Real-World Asset Potential

Trusted Smart Chain Now Operational Unlocking Real-World Asset Potential

The post Trusted Smart Chain Now Operational Unlocking Real-World Asset Potential appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Trusted Smart Chain (TSC) has officially launched its main net, marking a pivotal step forward for Real World Assets (RWA) in the blockchain and digital currency space. As the RWA sector gains momentum as one of the most promising frontiers in crypto, TSC positions itself as a dedicated infrastructure provider—built to connect the reliability of physical assets with the efficiency and accessibility of decentralized technology. The concept of Real World Assets—representing tangible items like real estate, commodities, intellectual property, and more—has emerged as a transformative force in blockchain innovation. By converting physical assets into digital tokens, the barriers of geography, liquidity, and accessibility are dismantled, enabling a more inclusive financial ecosystem. Trusted Smart Chain enters the market at a decisive moment. Institutional interest in RWA is accelerating, and global markets are increasingly seeking secure, transparent ways to bridge traditional finance with digital economies. TSC’s launch delivers the infrastructure needed to make this bridge a reality. The blockchain is engineered for high performance, with a consensus framework optimized for scalability, low transaction costs, and uncompromising security. This ensures that both large-scale institutions and individual users can interact with tokenized assets without the inefficiencies or risks often associated with early blockchain implementations. Core Advantages of Trusted Smart Chain in the RWA Landscape: Purpose-Built for Asset Tokenization: Every element of TSC’s architecture—from its smart contract capabilities to its governance framework—has been designed to support the secure issuance, management, and transfer of RWAs. Trust and Compliance: By integrating verifiable ownership records and transparent auditing, the platform addresses one of the most significant concerns in RWA adoption: ensuring that the digital token accurately reflects a real-world counterpart. Developer-Ready Infrastructure: APIs and SDKs make it easy for innovators to build decentralized applications that leverage RWAs, from fractional ownership marketplaces to collateralized lending platforms. Institutional-Grade Security: Advanced…

Top 3 Solana Beta Plays to Watch Amid $1B+ Treasury Plays

Top 3 Solana Beta Plays to Watch Amid $1B+ Treasury Plays

The post Top 3 Solana Beta Plays to Watch Amid $1B+ Treasury Plays appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Solana (SOL) saw a noticeable uptick in attention recently. It saw strong performance over the past week compared to the broader crypto market. One key catalyst for this surge is the recent announcement of $1 billion-plus investments in Solana’s digital asset treasuries (DATs). It signaled potential for growth within the ecosystem. While the direct impact on Solana ($SOL) is clear, a ripple effect is likely to benefit smaller, more volatile assets within its ecosystem. This would create an opportunity for higher returns—albeit with increased risk. These assets, commonly known as “beta plays,” include projects like Jito ($JTO), Kamino ($KMNO), and Jupiter ($JUP). This article will examine why these three Solana-based assets are worth watching as the $1B+ treasury announcement boosts optimism around Solana’s future. Solana’s $1B+ Treasury Play: A Game-Changer for Ecosystem Growth In a market characterized by uncertainty, Solana has stood out in recent weeks due to a wave of announcements surrounding large treasury buys by various institutional players. These treasuries involve the purchase and staking of Solana’s native token ($SOL). And they are seen as a vote of confidence in the blockchain’s long-term viability. As these treasuries grow, they create a trickle-down effect. It benefits smaller assets within the Solana ecosystem, particularly projects tied to staking and lending. While some investors might choose to hold $SOL directly in anticipation of these developments, others are looking for additional exposure to Solana’s momentum by trading “beta plays.” These smaller, more volatile assets are likely to see amplified movements. That is due to the increased capital flows within the Solana ecosystem. Jito ($JTO): Dominating Liquid Staking Jito ($JTO), the largest liquid staking protocol on Solana, is well-positioned to benefit from the influx of capital into Solana’s ecosystem. JTO Price Chart| Source: Coinmarketcap Liquid staking allows users to stake their $SOL without…

The Significance Of A VMA Nomination

The Significance Of A VMA Nomination

The post The Significance Of A VMA Nomination appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A Fictional Girl Group Built to Succeed Since its release on August 23, 2025, Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters has taken the world by storm. With the film consistently ranking in Netflix’s top 10, breaking the streaming service’s record for most-watched film with over 236 million viewers, and the song “Golden” reaching the coveted #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 , a feat that a female girl group hasn’t achieved since Destiny’s Child released their hit “Independent Woman, Part 1” in 2000, it’s clear that the stars of the animated film, HUNTR/X, pronounced “Huntrix,” are making waves in the industry. Even one of these achievements would solidify an artist’s standing, but this girl group has several, and here’s the thing: they aren’t finished yet. LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA – JUNE 16: (L-R) Audrey Nuna, EJAE and Rei Ami attend the KPop Demon Hunters Special Screening at Netflix Tudum Theater on June 16, 2025 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Charley Gallay/Getty Images for Netflix) Getty Images for Netflix With their singing voices provided by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the group was created to go beyond the world of animation. With animation by Sony Pictures Imageworks, dynamic choreography combined with powerful vocals makes Rumi, Mira, and Zoey feel like real K-Pop idols, even though the audience knows they are animated. Their performances, style, and voices, combined with Netflix’s overwhelming streaming power explain why this group quickly achieved chart-topping hits, streams, and nominations since the films’ release. The VMAs as a Cultural Indicator The MTV Video Music Awards have been a way to measure the staying power and impact of musical acts and stars in moments that have stayed at the forefront of pop culture history. From Lady Gaga’s meat dress to Beyoncé revealing her pregnancy after performing or Janet Jackson’s…

$IP In Top Crypto Gainers Today

$IP In Top Crypto Gainers Today

The post $IP In Top Crypto Gainers Today appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Surging by over 31% in the last 24 hours, Story (IP) has become the biggest gainer of the day. An AI-driven utility project, its rise is showing that projects with tech-based upsides are still viewed in a positive light among investors. With its AI-driven infrastructure designed to unlock over $80 trillion in the IP asset class, Story could be seen as one of the more unique projects on the market. However, will the current surge in momentum continue in the long term? Or was it just a one-off move, with investors needing to prepare for a sell-off soon? This Story price prediction offers insight into the project before highlighting similar projects that could experience comparable levels of growth. What is Story? According to the official website, Story is a blockchain project designed to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks faced by AI, which is clearing access to rights. It explains how content generated through AI often repurposes copyrighted material available online, making the resulting content riddled with IP-related issues. Story, in this case, acts as an infrastructure layer to make IP and real-world data “programmable, enforceable, and monetizable.” The unique niche of the project is programmable licensing, which is a machine-readable license that can be integrated with autonomous workflows easily, without creating any IP-related issues. It powers a monetization model that AI companies, data providers, and other industries such as institutional funds, biomedicine and patents, creators, brands, and entertainment can leverage. Story (IP) Price Analysis The Story price at the time of writing is upwards of $7.8. It has a market cap of $2.37 billion, and its trading volume has surged by over 1,680% in the last 24 hours. Charts show that the recent surge has put the Story price just short of the all-time high it achieved a few…

This new Dogecoin (DOGE) rival continues to skyrocket as other memecoins wobble in Q3

This new Dogecoin (DOGE) rival continues to skyrocket as other memecoins wobble in Q3

The post This new Dogecoin (DOGE) rival continues to skyrocket as other memecoins wobble in Q3 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The memecoin market has hit a rocky patch this quarter. After touching a collective valuation of $91 billion earlier in the month, meme assets have slipped to around $72 billion, mirroring weakness across the broader crypto market.  Yet, while heavyweights like Shiba Inu (SHIB) and Pepe (PEPE) show cracks under selling pressure, a new contender is quietly powering ahead. Dubbed by early adopters as the “new Dogecoin”, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) has managed to defy the downturn, positioning itself as the best memecoin to buy in Q3 2025. Memecoins feel the pressure in Q3 Market-wide weakness has hit most of the meme sector hard. Dogecoin is fighting to stay above $0.21 after dropping from July’s high of $0.27, and Shiba Inu has been locked in a frustrating consolidation near $0.000012. Even PEPE has pulled back over 7% after whales offloaded hundreds of billions of tokens. Top memecoins by Market Cap | Source: CoinGecko Analysts attribute the decline to profit-taking and fading retail hype as traders reposition into tokens with strong backings and utilities. But while the established giants wobble, new entrants fill the void with fresh narratives and ambitious features. Little Pepe keeps rocketing higher Little Pepe is the standout. Despite a bearish macro backdrop, the project’s multistage presale has exploded past $22.5 million raised, selling more than 14.3 billion tokens as of Stage 12. The token price has climbed to $0.0021, more than 100% higher than its starting point at $0.001, and it’s still cheaper than most competitors before their major exchange listings. What makes LILPEPE different is that it’s not relying on memes alone. The project is building the world’s first sniper-bot-resistant EVM chain, ensuring traders get fair launch execution. It’s also creating a meme-only Launchpad, designed to incubate the next wave of viral tokens in a secure environment. …

Pump.fun Spends $62M on Buybacks to Stabilize PUMP Price

Pump.fun Spends $62M on Buybacks to Stabilize PUMP Price

The post Pump.fun Spends $62M on Buybacks to Stabilize PUMP Price appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pump.fun has spent more than $62.6 million repurchasing its native token, PUMP, according to data from Dune Analytics. The buybacks have soaked up over 16.5 billion tokens at an average cost of $0.003785, as the platform looks to stabilize price action and reduce sell pressure. The buyback strategy uses platform-generated revenue, primarily fees collected from users launching memecoins, to execute daily token repurchases. Daily buybacks have consistently ranged between $1.3 million and $2.3 million over the past week, Dune Analytics data shows. Since launch, Pump.fun has generated over $775 million in revenue, according to data from DefiLlama. Notably, the platform saw a sharp revenue drop from July 28 to Aug. 3. During that time, Pump.fun brought in only $1.72 million weekly revenue, its lowest since March 2024. Meanwhile, the buyback initiative appears to be working. PUMP has gained more than 12% over the past month and around 9% over the past week. The token is currently trading at $0.003522, up 54% from its August low of $0.002282. Pump.fun spends over $62 million to buy back tokens. Source: Dune Analytics Related: How Pump.fun raised $500M in 12 minutes, and what it says about retail FOMO PUMP holder count tops 70,000 Onchain data also shows a healthy uptick in user participation. The number of unique PUMP holders has grown steadily to over 70,800, with smaller wallets (<10K PUMP) now accounting for 46% of distribution. The broadening of ownership indicates growing retail engagement. The growth comes as the Pump.fun platform has recently struggled to maintain its dominance in the Solana memecoin launchpad rankings. On July 7, a newly launched Solana platform called LetsBonk took the top spot for 24-hour revenue, surpassing Pump.fun.  According to the Solana decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregator Jupiter, LetsBonk’s dominance continued throughout July, gaining more market share than Pump.fun on many occasions.…
