Fresh OPEC+ Output Hike Marks Return Of 1.66 Million Oil Barrels A Day

Fresh OPEC+ Output Hike Marks Return Of 1.66 Million Oil Barrels A Day

The post Fresh OPEC+ Output Hike Marks Return Of 1.66 Million Oil Barrels A Day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

(Photo: Costfoto) NurPhoto via Getty Images A fresh oil production hike by OPEC+ has sent yet another clear signal to the international crude market that its focus remains firmly on a higher market share. At their meeting on Sunday, eight members of OPEC+, a select group of Russia-led oil producers and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) spearheaded by Saudi Arabia, opted to raise their collective production levels for October by another 137,000 barrels per day. The latest hike marks the return of 1.66 million bpd of OPEC+ barrels. It is part of an attempt by the group to unwind previously agreed cuts between April and November 2023. Prior to Sunday’s deal, OPEC+ had two declared strands of cuts – a 1.65 million bpd cut by the eight members, and further 2 million bpd cut by the entire group in place until the fourth quarter of 2026. Last month, OPEC+ agreed to increase oil production by 547,000 bpd for September. That’s after a larger-than-expected increase of 548,000 bpd for August and 411,000 bpd in May, June and July, as it continues to push ahead with putting more barrels onto the market. In a statement issued by OPEC, producers Saudi Arabia, Russia, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Oman cited “current healthy market fundamentals” as the reason for the latest hike. “In view of a steady global economic outlook and current healthy market fundamentals, the eight participating countries decided to implement a production adjustment of 137,000 barrels per day from the 1.65 million bpd additional voluntary adjustments announced in April 2023,” the statement said.

Ethereum Price Signals Suggest A Drop Below $4,000 Is Imminent But Memes Like Layer Brett Will Surge

Ethereum Price Signals Suggest A Drop Below $4,000 Is Imminent But Memes Like Layer Brett Will Surge

The post Ethereum Price Signals Suggest A Drop Below $4,000 Is Imminent But Memes Like Layer Brett Will Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum (ETH) has once again become the focal point of market chatter as traders brace for a potential dip below $4,000. Analysts note persistent selling pressure around key resistance zones with liquidity clusters forming in the $4,200 to $4,300 range. Technical analysis points to weakening momentum. If Ethereum prices fail to hold $4,000, a slide all the way to $3,600 could play out. While this outlook tempers short-term optimism, the narrative remains intact—Ethereum is still the backbone of decentralized finance, and its long-term adoption is accelerating. Whales and retail traders alike are diversifying. Attention is flowing into Layer Brett, a meme-driven Ethereum Layer 2 project that’s already approaching a major milestone of $3 million raised in presale funding, with tokens still available at just $0.0055. For many, it represents the asymmetric upside that Ethereum can no longer provide. Ethereum price faces near-term downside Current technical indicators suggest ETH may not escape further downside before a rebound. The token is locked in a horizontal range, with buyers defending the $4,000 support but unable to mount a decisive move above $4,300. Analysts point out that a break below $4,000 would activate stop-loss clusters, intensifying liquidations in leveraged futures markets. Despite these bearish near-term signals, macro projections for Ethereum remain constructive. Consensus forecasts place ETH within the $7,000 to $8,000 range by 2026 assuming institutional flows from ETFs continue. Bolder predictions even stretch toward $10,000 or higher in euphoric scenarios. But for the everyday investor, those gains are solid yet limited—far from the life-changing multiples many crypto traders chase. Why Layer Brett could surge while ETH consolidates This is where Layer Brett enters the conversation. Built as an Ethereum Layer 2 meme coin, it merges viral meme energy with real blockchain scalability — instant transactions, low fees, and staking rewards that dwarf anything…

Cardano Price Prediction For 2025: Layer Brett Lures Whales Eyeing A 40x Predicted Returns This Month

Cardano Price Prediction For 2025: Layer Brett Lures Whales Eyeing A 40x Predicted Returns This Month

The post Cardano Price Prediction For 2025: Layer Brett Lures Whales Eyeing A 40x Predicted Returns This Month appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The newest Cardano price prediction for 2025 points to growth, but nothing explosive. ADA’s ecosystem is still expanding and its community is as loyal as ever, but the slow pace of development has worn on investors. The foundation is strong, yet the lack of urgency leaves Cardano (ADA) struggling to excite traders chasing faster-moving opportunities. At the same time, capital is rotating into newer plays. Layer Brett ($LBRETT), an Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin, is now pulling in whales who see the potential for 40x returns this month. Why Cardano’s upside looks capped Cardano (ADA) built its identity on being methodical and research-driven. That gave it credibility early on, but the crypto market doesn’t reward slow movers. While Solana, Ethereum Layer 2s, and even meme-driven tokens are shipping updates and grabbing attention, Cardano still feels like it’s behind the curve. That’s why most Cardano price predictions for 2025 remain cautious. ADA may rise with the broader market, but analysts don’t see the explosive upside traders expect from newer, faster tokens. For many, ADA has shifted from being a high-growth bet to more of a slow-and-steady long-term hold. The new magnet for whale money This is why bigger investors are eyeing Layer Brett ($LBRETT). Still in presale, Brett has become one of the most talked-about tokens in trading circles. Whales see a combination they like: meme culture, Ethereum Layer 2 scalability, and massive staking rewards that could fuel exponential returns. Where Cardano feels like a long-term research project, Brett offers the high-risk, high-reward setup that can deliver results quickly. Why whales are rotating capital Whales aren’t moving blindly. They’re spotting clear advantages in Layer Brett: Ethereum Layer 2 infrastructure: instant transactions with minimal fees Meme-first energy: branding designed for viral speculation Early staking rewards: 895% available for first movers Perfect timing: launching…
Why Ozak AI Is Forecasted to Be the Best 2025 Investment Ahead of SHIB, DOGE, and PEPE

Why Ozak AI Is Forecasted to Be the Best 2025 Investment Ahead of SHIB, DOGE, and PEPE

The post Why Ozak AI Is Forecasted to Be the Best 2025 Investment Ahead of SHIB, DOGE, and PEPE appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ozak AI’s growing momentum in the blockchain and artificial intelligence space has drawn significant attention, positioning the project as a leading investment opportunity for 2025. With over $2.76 million raised in its ongoing $OZ token presale and more than 856 million tokens sold at $0.01, analysts and investors are closely monitoring its trajectory.  The fact that the presale quickly moves to Phase 5 demonstrates the increasing interest in projects involving AI and secure and scalable blockchain infrastructure. Ozak AI is a powerful predictive modelling and decentralized processing platform that stands apart among meme-based tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Pepe (PEPE), which still crucially experience shrinking trade volumes and declining interest among investors. Advanced AI Capabilities and Secure Infrastructure The essence of the AI product developed by Ozak AI is that the predictive AI agents are implemented based on statistical and machine learning models, such as ARIMA, linear regression, and neural networks. These agents generate real-time crypto, equity, and forex market forecasts to assist in their decision-making. Investors can also customize these models to meet their strategies to support retail and institutional needs. It is built upon the Ozak Stream Network (OSN), a decentralized network on which the financial data is processed in a decentralized and safe way. OSN addresses the risk of centralized failure, improving real-time data handling using a node-based system. This is in stark contrast to the simpler and single-chain models of tokens such as DOGE and PEPE that lack decentralized data pipelines and prediction capabilities. Technology Utility and Stack. Ozak AI integrates the most recent aspects of blockchain, including EigenLayer’s Actively Validated Services (AVS) and Arbitrum Orbit. The systems enhance security, scalability, and efficiency. EigenLayer is used to do decentralized validation, as opposed to Arbitrum, which does low-cost, high-performance execution of smart contracts,…
Ripple (XRP) Delivered 100x Gains, Could Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Be the Next Breakout Token Under $1?

Ripple (XRP) Delivered 100x Gains, Could Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Be the Next Breakout Token Under $1?

The post Ripple (XRP) Delivered 100x Gains, Could Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Be the Next Breakout Token Under $1? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple (XRP) can be regarded as one of the most popular breakout stories in crypto. Before its dramatic rallies, holdings of XRP by early investors had multiplied by well over 100 times, turning modest investments into massive fortunes. Although XRP continues to remain among the largest market participants in the digital asset market today, its massive market capitalization renders such phenomenal growth nearly impossible. Because of this fact, investors are seeking the next utility-based, fairly inexpensive initiative that can replicate the original gains of XRP. One competitor that has already been attracting attention is Mutuum Finance (MUTM), a decentralized lending protocol that started its presale in early 2025 and already shows impressive traction. The question many people are asking is; is MUTM the next token to drop below $1? XRP’s Growth Story To see why investors are now considering newer tokens such as MUTM, it is useful to discuss the history of XRP. The introduction of the XRP allowed Ripple Labs to place itself between blockchain technology and traditional finance, allowing cross-border transactions to be completed in seconds at very low costs. During the peak of the bull run in 2017, XRP shot up to over $3 and provided founders with unbelievable rewards. Once again in 2020-2021, XRP became especially sharp, even in the face of regulatory obstacles, which is a reminder that projects that are clearly useful do not die in a crisis and emerge in new cycles. Early entrants to its waves enjoyed massive returns that established XRP as one of the only tokens to provide 100x returns. However, we can jump to 2025, and because of its sheer size, XRP has no upside. Its market value is tens of billions, so multiples in the triple digits are likely quite exaggerated. Although XRP continues to be a powerful…
Polygon developer calls World Liberty Financial the ‘scam of all scams”

Polygon developer calls World Liberty Financial the ‘scam of all scams”

The post Polygon developer calls World Liberty Financial the ‘scam of all scams” appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polygon developer Bruno Skvorc lashed out at World Liberty Financial (WLF) on Saturday, accusing the company of stealing his funds. In a post on X, Skvorc wrote: “…they stole my money, and because it’s the @POTUS family, I can’t do anything about it.” Skvorc was one of the hundreds of users, including Tron founder and WLF investor Justin Sun, whose tokens were frozen by WLF. The decentralized finance (DeFi) firm is closely linked to the U.S. President Donald Trump and his family. A Trump entity owns 60% of WLF and earns 75% of revenue from token sale. Trump’s sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. are part of the firm’s management. According to an estimate published by The New Yorker in August, the Trump family earned about $412.5 million from WLF. Skvorc attached the email response he received from WLF to his X post, which noted that the firm would “not be able to unlock” his tokens. The firm justified the freezing of the tokens “due to the high risk blockchain exposure associated with” Skvorc’s wallet. Polygon developer likened WLF to ‘new age mafia’ Since WLF started trading on Sept. 1, the protocol has blocked at least 272 wallets. Denouncing the protocol as “the scam of all scams,” Skvorc noted: “This is the new age mafia. There is no one to complain to, no one to argue with, no one to sue. It just… is.” Skvorc is far from being the only one to criticize WLF’s freezing of assets. In a long X post on Friday, Sun, who invested $45 million in WLF last year, stated that his assets were “unreasonably frozen.” Additionally, Sun noted that a great financial brand must be rooted in “fairness, transparency, and trust.” And not “on unilateral actions that freeze investor assets,” he wrote, adding: “Such…
Fidelity Launches Tokenized Treasury Backed By BlackRock’s Fund

Fidelity Launches Tokenized Treasury Backed By BlackRock’s Fund

The post Fidelity Launches Tokenized Treasury Backed By BlackRock’s Fund appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fidelity Asset Management has introduced a blockchain-based version of its Treasury money market fund, extending its digital finance presence. The new product, called the Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT), mirrors one share of the Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund (FYOXX) and is issued directly on the Ethereum network. What is Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT)? According to RWA.xyz, the fund began operating in August with a portfolio that consists entirely of US Treasury securities and cash. Fidelity applies a 0.20% management fee, and Bank of New York Mellon is responsible for custody. Sponsored Sponsored As of press time, its assets have already climbed to more than $200 million, though participation remains limited. Current records show the fund has just two holders—one with roughly $1 million in tokens and another managing the balance. Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT) AUM. Source: RWA.xyz Fidelity has yet to comment on the fund publicly. However, the fund’s launch builds on Fidelity’s earlier filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), where it sought approval to add an on-chain share class to its digital Treasury fund. That step signaled its commitment to real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, a trend gaining momentum across traditional finance. Over the past year, global asset managers have been experimenting with blockchain rails to make markets more efficient, cut settlement times, and reduce costs. This has drawn interest from traditional financial giants like BlackRock, the largest asset management firm in the world, already making significant progress in this market. Over the past year, BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) has become the largest tokenized Treasury product, with a value of over $2 billion. Notably, similar offerings from Franklin Templeton and WisdomTree have helped the broader market for tokenized Treasuries above $7 billion, according to RWA.xyz. US Tokenized Treasuries.

Cardano vs TRON: Which Layer-1 Reaches $5 First While Solana Gains Market Focus?

Cardano vs TRON: Which Layer-1 Reaches $5 First While Solana Gains Market Focus?

The post Cardano vs TRON: Which Layer-1 Reaches $5 First While Solana Gains Market Focus? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The race between Cardano (ADA) and TRON (TRX) to hit the $5 mark is heating up, while Solana (SOL) continues to capture wider market attention. Alongside these top players, analysts are also watching MAGACOIN FINANCE, an undervalued altcoin with fresh fundamentals, audited for security and priced under $0.005. Cardano Price Outlook: Can ADA Reach $5? Cardano (ADA) trades at $0.84 today but price forecasts suggest higher levels ahead. CoinMarketCap expects ADA to peak at $4.47 by December 2025, while PricePredictions.com forecasts $3.12. Meanwhile, in the longer term, Ali Martinez projects ADA could climb to $10 by 2026. Founder Charles Hoskinson has gone further, saying ADA could surge 1,000x from here, claiming Bitcoin has limited upside compared to Cardano’s wider utility. He argued that ADA can be the backbone of DeFi activity, even supporting Bitcoin yield systems in the future. While that projection is bold, it underscores confidence in ADA’s long-term role as a top altcoin to buy. With ADA trading far below its all-time highs, investors who believe in Cardano’s roadmap are closely watching if 2025 will bring a breakout move toward the $5 milestone. TRON Bold Target: Founder Predicts $20 TRON (TRX) trades at $0.34 today but has caught attention with eye-popping forecasts. PricePrediction.net expects TRX to hit $1.66 by 2030, while Coinfomania projects $2.95. Founder Justin Sun has been even more ambitious, previously stating that TRX could reach $20, a massive jump from its current levels. An analyst on X also noted that TRX has been compressed for seven years below its all-time high of $0.30 and could be ready for a breakout cycle. If the predicted surge occurs, TRX could finally move from a long period of stagnation to becoming a serious Layer-1 competitor. For buyers seeking the best crypto to buy in this bull cycle, TRX’s…
WLFI Drama Continues: Is ‘This Is the Scam of All Scams’?

WLFI Drama Continues: Is ‘This Is the Scam of All Scams’?

The post WLFI Drama Continues: Is ‘This Is the Scam of All Scams’? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. What a week. If you thought crypto was wild before, the latest drama swirling around World Liberty Financial (WLFI) only takes it to the next level. The token project with the Trump brand, Eric Trump’s personal touch, and hundreds of millions seemingly caught in limbo saw much drama this week. WLFI ‘Stole My Money’: From Polygon to POTUS Bruno Skvorc, a known Polygon developer, didn’t mince words when he shared his experience on X. He even tagged US President, Donald Trump, stating: “TLDR is, they stole my money, and because it’s the @POTUS family, I can’t do anything about it… This is the new age mafia. There is no one to complain to, no one to argue with, no one to sue. It just… is. THIS is the scam of all scams.” With his closing accusation, Bruno tagged Paradigm advisor and on-chain sleuth ZachXBT to help with his predicament. He further summarized what feels for many like déjà vu in a crypto space still wrangling with centralization and trust issues. The problem? Bruno’s wallet was flagged for alleged high-risk exposure due to 40 ETH via Tornado Cash, indirect ties to sanctioned Russian exchanges Garantex and Netex24, and a “wusd-dashboard which was marked as scam by CA.” Not exactly the smoking gun you’d expect for such a freeze. However, in the age of compliance automation, flags stick and assets freeze. Sometimes it’s for reasons as tenuous as being “eight hops away” from suspicious activity. ZachXBT, ever the pragmatist, weighed in: “The issue is majority of the time ‘high risk’ exposure is incorrect so you cannot become reliant on compliance tools as a team.” He detailed how manual reviews of flagged addresses often reveal compliance tools catching more false positives than actual bad actors. This is a real risk when blanket bans…
Fidelity’s Tokenized Fund FDIT Surpasses $200 Million AUM

Fidelity’s Tokenized Fund FDIT Surpasses $200 Million AUM

The post Fidelity’s Tokenized Fund FDIT Surpasses $200 Million AUM appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Fidelity’s FDIT reaches $203 million, rivaling BlackRock’s BUIDL in tokenized funds. Deployed on Ethereum, backed by U.S. Treasury bonds. No regulatory issues reported; Fidelity maintains compliance controls. Fidelity’s on-chain tokenized fund, Fidelity Digital Interest Token, has surpassed $203.7 million in assets, highlighting growing institutional investment in digital assets on Ethereum. This advancement underscores a significant shift toward blockchain-based finance, marking Fidelity’s strategic presence in the digital asset landscape alongside competitors like BlackRock. FDIT’s Growth Sparks Blockchain Tokenization Race Fidelity’s Digital Interest Token (FDIT) has successfully amassed an AUM of over $200 million, marking its emergence as a formidable presence in the field of digital finance. Deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, FDIT offers institutional-grade redemption, backed by U.S. Treasury bonds. Fidelity’s expansion into on-chain funds indicates a strategic pivot towards digital assets. The launch of FDIT creates a competitive landscape, challenging BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenization efforts on similar blockchain infrastructure. This signals the growing interest and migration of traditional asset managers towards exploring blockchain technologies and bridging them with more conventional financial systems. Financial analysts and industry insiders point to this as an indicator of broader institutional adoption. Notably, Fidelity’s CEO, Abigail P. Johnson, emphasizes their commitment to innovation based on evolving client needs and digital asset integration. “Every product and service we build…is rooted in listening to our customers and anticipating their evolving needs.” Ethereum Hosts Fidelity’s $203 Million Tokenized Fund Did you know?

How Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc Fail the Decentralization Test, Explains Libra Co-Creator

How Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc Fail the Decentralization Test, Explains Libra Co-Creator

The post How Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc Fail the Decentralization Test, Explains Libra Co-Creator appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Christian Catalini, co-creator of Facebook’s Libra project, warned on Friday that Stripe’s Tempo and Circle’s Arc could succeed commercially but at the cost of crypto’s decentralization ideal. Launched in 2019, Libra was Meta’s bold bid to create a global digital currency backed by a basket of stable assets. The project promised to make payments as seamless as messaging, but it triggered immediate backlash from regulators concerned about financial sovereignty, systemic risk, and user privacy. By 2022, Libra — renamed Diem in a bid to reset its image — was shuttered and its assets sold off. Catalini, who served as Libra’s chief economist, used his Sept. 5 thread on X to revisit the project’s early compromises and explain why they matter now. He said the original open design, developed with Harvard economist Scott Kominers, was reduced to a short appendix after months of regulatory negotiations. The first major retreat, he wrote, was abandoning non-custodial wallets. Regulators insisted on a “clear perimeter,” meaning a responsible intermediary they could contact — and penalize — if problems arose. For supervisors used to intermediated finance, a world where users truly held their own money was unmanageable. “For them, killing self-custody wasn’t a choice, it was an obvious necessity,” he recalled. Catalini noted the irony: today, open networks are developing compliance tools native to blockchain that could have addressed these concerns more effectively than traditional frameworks. But back then, Libra was forced to strip away decentralization, a change he described as an early signal of where corporate-led projects were heading. His broader lesson was stark: “As long as there is a single throat to choke — or a committee of them — you can’t truly rewire the system. Worse, any network with an architect is living on borrowed time.” Arc and Tempo in the Spotlight Catalini…
XRP Volumes Crash 66%; Price Warning?

XRP Volumes Crash 66%; Price Warning?

The post XRP Volumes Crash 66%; Price Warning? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. XRP has seen its volume drop by 66% in the last 24 hours, sparking concerns in the market. According to CoinMarketCap data, XRP’s trading volume came to $2 billion, a 66% drop over the last 24 hours. While this might be concerning, it may not be far from the norm, given often less trading volume during the weekends. Despite the drop in volume, XRP saw significant whale activity in the week just ended. Given that whales are still participating in the market, the drop in volume may not be so much cause for concern. You Might Also Like On Sept. 5, Whale Alert reported a move of 49,999,989 XRP worth $140,841,434 shifted between unknown wallets. A total of 250,000,000 XRP worth $703,901,147 was also transferred from Ripple to an unknown wallet. On Sept. 3, 50,000,010 XRP worth $140,699,855 was transferred from unknown wallet to an unknown new wallet. Price warning? The drop in volume might also be traders waiting on the sidelines to gain clarity in the new week before taking their positions, and might not necessarily be a price warning. You Might Also Like XRP’s price is trading higher, up 3.03% in the last 24 hours to $2.89 despite the volume drop. XRP saw a significant surge to $2.92 in early Sunday session, extending its recovery from Sept. 1 low of $2.69. A break and close above the daily SMA 50 at $3.04 might clear the path for a rise to $3.40 and then $3.66. On the other hand, a drop below $2.69 could cause XRP to drop toward $2.20. In recent news, Bitwise has listed five new crypto ETPs on Six Swiss Exchange, including Bitwise Physical XRP ETP (GXRP) which allows investors to gain exposure to XRP in the same way that an ETF does.

Here’s How Much Crypto Investors Lost to Phishing Scams in August

Here’s How Much Crypto Investors Lost to Phishing Scams in August

The post Here’s How Much Crypto Investors Lost to Phishing Scams in August appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crime August proved to be a brutal month for crypto investors as phishing schemes quietly drained wallets and shook confidence in digital security. One victim alone watched more than $3 million vanish, while thousands of others suffered losses ranging from small amounts to life-changing sums. From Fake Support Teams to Signature Exploits The techniques are familiar yet constantly evolving. Some scammers still rely on emails, texts, or even letters pretending to come from major exchanges, tricking users into handing over login details or wallet seed phrases. Others have turned to more advanced tactics — most notably EIP-7702 exploits on Ethereum, which allow attackers to make ordinary accounts behave like smart contracts long enough to siphon funds. Three such attacks in August pulled in more than $5.6 million. According to Web3 watchdog Scam Sniffer, phishing scams alone wiped out $12 million in August, a 72% jump compared with July. The surge in cases brought the number of victims to over 15,000, reflecting just how widespread the threat has become. Broader malicious activity, including hacks and exploits, pushed the total stolen across crypto markets to $163 million for the month. Why Phishing Works Despite years of awareness campaigns, phishing remains one of the most effective forms of attack. The reason is psychological: fraudsters disguise themselves as trusted brands and create urgency — telling users their accounts are under threat, demanding immediate action, and slipping in fraudulent links with subtle misspellings. By the time users realize what’s happened, the funds are unrecoverable. Security experts stress that small habits make the biggest difference. Bookmarking exchange websites instead of Googling them, checking every URL character, and treating all unsolicited messages with suspicion are simple but powerful safeguards. Enabling two-factor authentication, never sharing recovery phrases, and using VPNs can further limit exposure. The explosion of crypto…
Chainlink CEO Sees Tokenization as Sector’s Rising Future After Meeting SEC’s Atkins

Chainlink CEO Sees Tokenization as Sector’s Rising Future After Meeting SEC’s Atkins

The post Chainlink CEO Sees Tokenization as Sector’s Rising Future After Meeting SEC’s Atkins appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Chainlink CEO Sergey Nazarov met with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Paul Atkins, who Nazarov said was keenly interested in how best to bring on-chain assets into compliance with securities laws. The chief executive of Chainlink, a network specializing in authenticating real-world data for smart contracts, said he was impressed with how much the agency has shifted away from whether the U.S. should permit blockchain tokenization innovations into the financial system and instead is looking at how this can be conducted with maximum efficiency and market safety. “While cryptocurrencies define the majority of our industry’s value today, I personally feel very strongly that the real-world asset trend and digital-asset tokenization in the institutional world will grow to be the majority of the market cap in our industry,” Nazarov told CoinDesk in an interview after his Friday meeting. He said Atkins “has very clear ideas and goals with getting the traditional financial system operating correctly on-chain.” Nazarov, who also met with the White House’s new crypto liaison, Patrick Witt, on Friday, said he’s very hopeful “based on the urgency and speed” the SEC and the White House are demonstrating. He said he thinks blockchain infrastructure will manage to find a place within broker-dealer and transfer agent rules, allowing full-in tokenization “maybe by the middle of next year.” The Chainlink co-founder said one central task is getting blockchains to fully meet the standards for a “legally binding transfer” of assets. “That’s a class of problems that’s now getting worked through with us,” he said, adding that Atkins understands it well and noted the chairman’s recent address in which he announced his “Project Crypto” initiative. An SEC spokesman declined to comment on the meeting, though the agency has been building momentum with crypto-friendly statements, remarks and policy maneuvers. Just last week, the…

Ardoino had asserted that Tether would continue allocating profits into Bitcoin and other assets like gold, maintaining its diversifying stance amidst market fluctuations. “We’re building our business with a Bitcoin-first ethos, investing in mining, leveraging Lightning, and using Bitcoin as a store of value for our balance sheet.” — Paolo Ardoino, CEO, Tether Market reactions to Tether’s disclosure have remained closely monitored. Cryptocurrency analyst Samson Mow noted that Tether’s transparent allocation strategy could enhance Bitcoin’s value perception, potentially influencing investor sentiment positively.

Bloomberg Analyst Explains Why XRP and ADA ETFs Could Be Next In Line

Bloomberg Analyst Explains Why XRP and ADA ETFs Could Be Next In Line

The post Bloomberg Analyst Explains Why XRP and ADA ETFs Could Be Next In Line appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The post Bloomberg Analyst Explains Why XRP and ADA ETFs Could Be Next In Line appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The conversation around crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is no longer about if they will expand beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, but when. Analysts say the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing to broaden the playing field, and if that happens, Wall Street could soon see a rush of new altcoin ETFs. Which Tokens Are Ready? According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart, several tokens appear ready to fit within the SEC’s developing framework. These include well-established names such as Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Avalanche (AVAX), Litecoin (LTC), Polkadot (DOT), Solana (SOL), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Shiba Inu (SHIB). Ripple’s XRP and Cardano’s ADA also look like strong candidates, thanks to their futures markets and relatively deep liquidity. Bitcoin and Ethereum, already ETF staples, would of course remain at the center of this ecosystem. Seyffart explained that many of these tokens already meet what are known as “generic listing standards,” meaning they could be fast-tracked once approval is granted. Lessons From Ethereum’s Slow Start Still, there are lessons to be learned from the Ethereum ETF rollout. After the overwhelming success of Bitcoin ETFs, expectations for Ethereum products were sky-high. Instead, the Ethereum ETFs launched into a sluggish market last July and failed to generate significant inflows. Part of the problem was timing. Wall Street advisers barely had time to understand Bitcoin ETFs before Ethereum was added to the mix. In addition, staking, a key feature of Ethereum, was not available in a traditional ETF wrapper. Seyffart says that once staking becomes formally allowed, demand could pick up sharply. The analyst then said that if the SEC truly opens the ETF floodgates, Wall Street could see a quick…
How States Should Respond To The Atrocities Against The Hazara?

How States Should Respond To The Atrocities Against The Hazara?

The post How States Should Respond To The Atrocities Against The Hazara? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Members of the Afghan Hazara community protested against the genocide of Hazara people in Toronto, Canada, on January 28, 2024. They condemned the recent suicide bombings in western Kabul that claimed the lives of many Hazaras. The protesters also demanded an end to the arrest of Hazara women by the Taliban and advocated for the rights of Afghan women to study and work freely.(Photo credit: Sayed Najafizada/NurPhoto via Getty Images) NurPhoto via Getty Images On September 4, 2025, New Lines Institute, a non-governmental organization, launched its newest report looking into the situation of the Hazara community in the Taliban-run Afghanistan. The report makes a legal assessment of acts targeting the community, examining the most recent attacks and the ongoing dire situation, since the Taliban takeover in August 2021. The report considers whether the ongoing attacks against Hazaras, carried out by various actors including the Islamic State-Khorasan Province (IS-KP/Daesh) and the Taliban, constitute genocide as per Article II of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Genocide Convention). The report comes three years after British Parliamentarians established that there was a serious risk of genocide against the Hazara in Afghanistan. Back in 2022, having conducted an in-depth inquiry and having taken testimonies from victims/survivors and experts, British Parliamentarians found that the Hazara in Afghanistan, as a religious and ethnic minority, were at serious risk of genocide at the hands of the Taliban and IS-KP. This finding was supposed to have engaged the responsibility of all States to protect the Hazara and prevent a possible genocide, in line with the duty to prevent genocide in Article I of the Genocide Convention, and as per customary international law. However, these responses did not follow, enabling the Taliban to continue and do so with impunity. When the Taliban took…
Brooks Koepka’s Struggles Continue At Irish Open.

Brooks Koepka’s Struggles Continue At Irish Open.

The post Brooks Koepka’s Struggles Continue At Irish Open. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The 2025 season has not went well for five-time major champion Brooks Koepka. At a press conference this week in Ireland before the Irish Open, Koepka himself stated his disappointment when talking about the Ryder Cup. When asked about not being picked for the United States team, Koepka said, “I played my way off it, so I can’t be disappointed. I did it myself. It’s not anything I’m not aware of. I’m not shying away from it. It’s just bad timing.” ROME, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 30: Brooks Koepka of Team United States reacts on the third hole during the Saturday morning foursomes matches of the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club on September 30, 2023 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Getty Images The DP World Tour is giving Koepka a chance to salvage his 2025 season with exemptions into three tournaments in the next four weeks. With LIV Golf not getting world ranking points for their events and Koepka missing the cut in 3 of the 4 majors this season, his world ranking has slid all the way to 306th. His lone cut made was the U.S. Open where he played well at Oakmont en route to a T12 finish. The LIV season has been a huge disappointment for Koepka. With zero wins and only two top 10 finishes, he finished the season 31st in the LIV Golf rankings. Considering these are 54-man fields, it has arguably been the worst season of the future hall-of-famers career, or at least since he burst on the scene with three Challenge Tour victories in 2013. The beginning of this three tournament stretch is off to a rough start for Koepka. After shooting an opening round 71(-1), Koepka played poorly in the second round, shooting 80 to easily miss…
Low-Dose Radiation Not As Harmful As Previously Believed

Low-Dose Radiation Not As Harmful As Previously Believed

The post Low-Dose Radiation Not As Harmful As Previously Believed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. An illustration titled ‘What Radioactivity Is’, with six panels’ reading (top) ‘Water in pond is ‘stable,’ it expends no energy,’ water can be carried up-hill and its energy level raised,’ ‘as it runs downhill it gives off energy and reaches a stable state’, (bottom) ‘atom is stable, it does not expend nuclear (atomic) energy,’ ‘atom can be bombarded with ‘atomic’ particles and its energy level raised, atom is now radioactive,’ and ‘as it disintegrates it gives off energy in the form of radiations and reaches a stable state,’ United States, circa 1955. (Photo by FPG/Archive Photos/Getty Images) Getty Images A newly released study from Columbia University and Japan’s Radiation Effects Research Foundation (RERF) may reshape the regulatory map of United States nuclear policy. In a world-first, researchers applied machine learning to the storied dataset of Japanese atomic bomb survivors to tackle a long-standing question: How dangerous is low-dose radiation? Atomic Survivors and the Uncertainty of Low Doses For decades, Japanese atomic bomb survivors have served as a cornerstone of global radiation risk modeling. The challenge has always been what to do at the low end of the dose spectrum. The effects of radiation doses below 0.1 Gray (Gy), the equivalent of a few CT scans or years of background exposure, are difficult to assess with precision. Conventional models like the Linear No-Threshold (LNT) model assume that even the smallest dose of radiation increases cancer risk in a directly proportional way. However, critics argue this oversimplifies biological complexity. One competing theory is hormesis, which proposes that low doses of a harmful agent may actually trigger beneficial biological responses. In radiation biology, this would mean that small exposures might activate repair mechanisms or adaptive responses that reduce the likelihood of disease, rather than increasing it. The LNT has been enshrined in the…
Federal Reserve’s Independence Reaffirmed Amid Nomination Hearings

Federal Reserve’s Independence Reaffirmed Amid Nomination Hearings

The post Federal Reserve’s Independence Reaffirmed Amid Nomination Hearings appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Trump’s Fed nominee emphasizes monetary policy independence during Senate hearings. No immediate impact on crypto markets tied to these proceedings. Historical precedents suggest potential market volatility following administrative pressure. Kevin Hassett, Director of the White House National Economic Council, emphasized the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy should remain free from political pressure and confirmed no current reform plans exist. The emphasis on maintaining Federal Reserve independence reassures investors and markets, underlining the Fed’s role in stable macroeconomic policy amidst political uncertainties. Crypto Markets Unaffected as Fed Policy Independence Reinforced Reaffirmation of the Federal Reserve’s independence has no immediate effects on cryptocurrency markets or macroeconomic allocations. Historical precedents indicate potential market volatility due to perceived pressures but maintain long-term operational independence. Investors and economists anticipate a possible 0.25% rate adjustment in the Federal Reserve’s upcoming meeting. This expectation is grounded in macroeconomic indicators rather than political influences. In light of recent discussions, the Fed’s commitment to independence remains a cornerstone of its policy framework, which is crucial for maintaining market stability and investor confidence. Bitcoin (BTC) currently trades at $111,181.26, with a market cap of $2.21 trillion. It holds a market dominance of 57.80%. Recent price movements saw a 0.32% increase over 24 hours, with a 2.41% rise over a week. January 7, 2025, stats show a circulating supply of 19,917,446 BTC (source: CoinMarketCap). Historical Context, Price Data, and Expert Analysis Did you know? In the past, presidential attempts to influence the Federal Reserve have occasionally spurred brief market volatility. However, the Reserve’s commitment to independence has largely managed to stabilize these reactions over the long term. Coincu research insights suggest that the emphasized independence of the Federal Reserve could result in predictable regulatory trends, bolstering investor confidence in agency-driven economic strategies. This independence historically stabilizes market reactions and supports…
Dogecoin Sentiment Splits: Layer Brett Gains Traction As The Next PEPE Targeting A 50x Breakout

Dogecoin Sentiment Splits: Layer Brett Gains Traction As The Next PEPE Targeting A 50x Breakout

The post Dogecoin Sentiment Splits: Layer Brett Gains Traction As The Next PEPE Targeting A 50x Breakout appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The debate around Dogecoin (DOGE) is heating up again. Once the undisputed leader of meme coins, DOGE now faces divided sentiment among its holders. Some remain loyal to its cultural legacy, while others are quietly moving their capital into newer projects with bigger upside. At the front of that rotation is Layer Brett ($LBRETT), a viral Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin that analysts believe could follow in Pepe coin’s footsteps and deliver a 50x breakout in 2025. Dogecoin’s reputation keeps it alive No matter how the market shifts, Dogecoin will always have history on its side. It was the first meme coin to go mainstream, boosted by Elon Musk’s tweets and its quirky branding. DOGE’s community remains one of the most active in crypto, and its liquidity ensures it stays a top-10 coin by market cap. But here’s the problem: cultural relevance doesn’t always equal explosive growth. With a market cap already in the tens of billions, the upside for Dogecoin (DOGE)looks capped. Analysts see room for moderate price increases, but nothing close to the exponential multiples retail traders now expect from meme coin speculation. Traders chase volatility, not comfort Retail investors aren’t in the game for 20 percent moves. They want asymmetric bets where small positions can turn into massive returns. That is why attention is shifting away from older tokens like DOGE toward new entries that carry viral momentum. This isn’t about abandoning Dogecoin, but about recognizing that its growth trajectory now appeals more to conservative holders than to traders chasing the next big win. Enter Layer Brett: the meme coin built for 2025 This is where Layer Brett ($LBRETT) enters the story. It is not just another meme coin, it is a meme coin built on Ethereum Layer 2. That means instant transactions, pennies for gas fees, and…
$6 Billion Ripple’s XRP Transfers and ETF Hype, Bitcoin (BTC) Faces $100,000 Crash Debate, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Prepares for September Rally — Top Weekly Crypto News

$6 Billion Ripple’s XRP Transfers and ETF Hype, Bitcoin (BTC) Faces $100,000 Crash Debate, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Prepares for September Rally — Top Weekly Crypto News

The post $6 Billion Ripple’s XRP Transfers and ETF Hype, Bitcoin (BTC) Faces $100,000 Crash Debate, Shiba Inu (SHIB) Prepares for September Rally — Top Weekly Crypto News appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ripple & XRP: $6 billion transfers, ETF hype and record market activity Ripple and XRP had a busy week marked by big on-chain movements, XRP ETF speculations and fresh activity on the ledger. This kept the third biggest cryptocurrency in the headlines as one of the most active assets in the market. Key points: A total of $6.08 billion in escrow unlocks with an epic $830 million released. XRP ETF approval odds hit 94%, with seven filings pending an October deadline. XRP futures hit $1 billion in record open interest. Cryptocurrency spikes 44% to $6.57 billion in daily volume with the price at $2.84. Ripple’s September escrow unlock was massive, with more than $6.08 billion worth of XRP moving across wallets. In a series of unlocks, 500 million XRP ($1.38 billion), 300 million XRP ($830 million) and 200 million XRP ($553 million) were shuffled on-chain. Ultimately, 700 million tokens were sent back to escrow, resulting in a net release of 300 million XRP, worth around $830 million at the beginning of the week. In the meantime, XRP ETF speculation is back to center stage. Data from Polymarket puts the odds of approval at nearly 94%, and filings for seven different XRP-linked funds are now in the SEC’s pipeline. For Nate Geraci, an ETF veteran who predicted the launches of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, expectations for demand are too low as institutional traction is already visible on CME. Just in August, futures linked to XRP hit an unprecedented milestone, becoming the fastest contracts ever to cross $1 billion in open interest. However, skeptics point out that major players like BlackRock and Fidelity have avoided the XRP market, focusing instead on Bitcoin, Ethereum and most recently Solana. Market activity has supported the overall buzz around the altcoin. In early September, XRP’s daily volume surged…
Goldman and T. Rowe sign $1 billion partnership as Wall Street targets retirement cash

Goldman and T. Rowe sign $1 billion partnership as Wall Street targets retirement cash

The post Goldman and T. Rowe sign $1 billion partnership as Wall Street targets retirement cash appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Goldman Sachs is putting down up to $1 billion for a 3.5% stake in asset manager T. Rowe Price, the firm confirmed Thursday, according to Yahoo Finance. The goal is to flood the retirement market with access to private assets (stuff like real estate, infrastructure, credit, and private equity) things that were once only offered to institutional investors. Now the plan is to make them available to everyday Americans, especially those saving for retirement. The partnership wants to build a system that lets these alternative assets flow directly into the hands of retirees, account sponsors, and financial advisers. Goldman CEO David Solomon said this collaboration “represent[s] our conviction in a shared legacy of success delivering results for investors.” He also said that with Goldman’s “decades of leadership innovating across public and private markets” and T. Rowe’s “expertise in active investing,” clients can expect better access to new ways of saving for retirement and building wealth. T. Rowe Price saw its stock jump by as much as 9% on Friday after the announcement. Goldman shares also ticked up, but by a smaller margin. T. Rowe CEO Rob Sharps said: “As a leader in retirement, we have a proven track record of using our expertise to drive solutions that help our clients confidently prepare for, save for, and live in retirement.” Goldman and T. Rowe prep co-branded portfolios Part of the joint plan includes launching target-date funds that mix public stocks, bonds, and private assets. These hybrid funds are set to roll out by the middle of next year. This would bring private investments straight into retirement portfolios in a way that hasn’t really existed before. The two companies also want to launch co-branded portfolios and offer financial advice, targeting both mass affluent and high-net-worth investors. Meanwhile, just this Thursday, Citigroup said…

Dubai is leading the real-world asset revolution

Dubai is leading the real-world asset revolution

The post Dubai is leading the real-world asset revolution appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disclosure: The views and opinions expressed here belong solely to the author and do not represent the views and opinions of crypto.news’ editorial. Real-world assets entered the mainstream around 2020, though the idea traces back further. As the name suggests, RWAs are traditional or physical assets that have been tokenized and brought onto the blockchain. The foundation was first laid with Ethereum’s (ETH) introduction of smart contracts in 2015, and the sector has since accelerated rapidly, with some forecasts projecting that by 2030, more than $10 trillion worth of assets could be tokenized on-chain. Summary Why RWAs matter: Tokenization unlocks liquidity through fractional ownership, broadens access to global investors, and replaces costly intermediaries with transparent, efficient smart contracts. Why Dubai leads: Backed by VARA’s clear framework and booming property market, Dubai turned tokenization into policy — with $399M already tokenized in May and projections of $16B by 2033. Real traction: Platforms like Prypco Mint are selling out projects in minutes, including a $3B MAG deal, signaling tokenization’s shift from pilot projects to mainstream adoption. Challenges ahead: Secondary-market liquidity, registry integration, and rising global competition remain hurdles, but Dubai’s regulatory clarity and momentum give it a strong edge. Why are real-world assets important? At a high level, RWAs bring many benefits to the market, although there are three key ones: Liquidity: Real estate and other illiquid assets typically demand large, single transactions, making buying and selling slow and cumbersome. Tokenization enables fractional ownership and 24/7 trading, transforming how these assets are exchanged. Access and inclusion: Tokenization lets anyone with a wallet invest, unlocking deep global liquidity and enabling participation at any transaction size previously impossible. Efficiency and transparency: many layers of expensive intermediaries and cumbersome transaction processes are exchanged for simple, clear contracts, lowering costs, reducing settlement times, and providing auditability.…

Bitcoin STH-SOPR Metric Reclaims Critical Level — More Pain For Short-Term Holders?

Bitcoin STH-SOPR Metric Reclaims Critical Level — More Pain For Short-Term Holders?

The post Bitcoin STH-SOPR Metric Reclaims Critical Level — More Pain For Short-Term Holders? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The price of Bitcoin has shown signs of resilience and strength over this weekend after facing significant bearish pressure heading into it. On Friday, August 5, the flagship cryptocurrency suffered a mild correction following the release of weaker-than-expected employment data in the United States. While the Bitcoin price has struggled to break out of its current choppy state, its sustained hold above the psychological $110,000 level displays the current resolution of investors. The latest on-chain data suggests that the market might have absorbed excess selling pressure and could be regaining momentum. Is BTC Ready For A Sustained Move Higher?  In a September 6 post on the X platform, pseudonymous crypto analyst Frank revealed a shift in the activity of a key group of Bitcoin investors over the past few weeks. According to the market quant, BTC’s short-term holders (STH) (with coin holdings less than 155 days old) are beginning to lock in some of their profits. This on-chain observation is based on the Short-Term Holder Spent Output Profit Ratio (STH-SOPR) metric, which assesses the profitability ratio of spent outputs (held for more than 1 hour but less than 155 days). This indicator provides insight into whether STHs are selling at a profit or at a loss. When the Bitcoin STH-SOPR metric has a value greater than 1, it implies that the short-term investors are selling at a profit. On the other hand, an STH-SOPR value less than 1 suggests that the short-term holders are capitulating and selling at a loss. Frank shared that the Bitcoin STH-SOPR metric has returned above the critical 1 threshold level for the first time in 20 days. This means that the short-term investors, who were busy selling at a loss the past three weeks, are now back realizing profits. Typically, when the STH-SOPR metric is…
Even a Small $200 in This Meme Coin Following Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Path Could Make You a Millionaire

Even a Small $200 in This Meme Coin Following Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Path Could Make You a Millionaire

The post Even a Small $200 in This Meme Coin Following Shiba Inu’s (SHIB) Path Could Make You a Millionaire appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. New opportunities are sweeping the crypto space, and soon Little Pepe (LILPEPE) will be making an explosion as the next take-off meme coin. Its Stage 12 presale is almost sold out, and its new Layer-2 blockchain is set to make LILPEPE a formidable competitor to tokens such as Shiba Inu (SHIB). Investors who get in early could see substantial returns, possibly turning a small investment of $200 into a fortune by 2026. SHIB Price Analysis: Testing Support at $0.000012 Shiba Inu (SHIB) is currently trading at $0.00001204, showing a modest 0.24% increase over the last month. With a market cap of $7.09 billion and 24-hour trading volume at $154.6 million, SHIB has continued to see a 23.29% increase in volume despite recent price fluctuations. Recently, the token has been testing a critical support level of about $0.000012, which has been very strong in the past and may assist the token in a price rebound. During SHIB’s early rise, returns reached a staggering 23,000%, as the meme coin gained popularity. With the market being less active, the skyrocketing increase of Shiba Inu serves as a reminder that meme coins can still bring enormous returns, particularly when an investor opts to become an early adopter. Little Pepe (LILPEPE): A Meme Coin With Real Utility Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is stirring up the meme coin market fast. It is rocketing to prominence thanks to its proprietary Layer-2 blockchain, low charges, and solid presale results. The LILPEPE presale Stage 12 has sold 96.08% of the 15.475 billion tokens, raising $24,184,107 out of a $25,475,000 target, leaving just $1,290,893 left to raise. The current Stage 12 price is $0.0021 per token, which marks a 110% increase from the initial Stage 1 price of $0.0010. Once Stage 12 closes, the presale will advance to Stage 13, where…
Peter Schiff slams Bitcoin’s ‘dismal performance’ against gold: ‘Just 2% above…’

Peter Schiff slams Bitcoin’s ‘dismal performance’ against gold: ‘Just 2% above…’

The post Peter Schiff slams Bitcoin’s ‘dismal performance’ against gold: ‘Just 2% above…’ appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways Bitcoin’s recent pullback has sparked renewed criticism from Peter Schiff, although supporters point to long-term gains and a sharp rise in the BTC-to-gold ratio.  Bitcoin [BTC]’s recent pullback from its all-time high has reignited familiar criticism from long-time skeptic Peter Schiff. After peaking at $124,500, the world’s largest cryptocurrency has slipped below the $120,000 threshold, prompting Schiff to highlight its underperformance compared to gold. His remarks came as the precious metal notched a new record above $3,586.  In fact, as per data from CoinMarketCap, gold has soared over 36% since the start of the year and 42% in the past twelve months, while Bitcoin has shed more than 5% over the last month.  Peter Schiff weighs in Utilizing this opportunity, Schiff took to X and noted,  “Priced in gold, since hitting a high of about 37.2 ounces on Aug. 12, Bitcoin is down 18%, just 2% above official bear market territory.” Adding further intrigue, he said,  “In fact, priced in gold, Bitcoin is currently almost 16% below its Nov. 2021 high. How do you square this dismal performance with all the hype?” Schiff argued that Bitcoin’s decline further proves its inability to rival gold as a dependable store of value. However, not everyone agreed with his stance.  Community dismisses Schiff’s remarks Responding on X, a user named Adam Well challenged Schiff’s view, pushing back against the notion that gold’s rise automatically undermines Bitcoin’s long-term potential.  “Gold is yesterday’s hedge. Bitcoin is tomorrow’s system. Short-term volatility doesn’t erase a generational shift.” Echoing similar sentiments, another X user, Brandon, added,  “You’re right- this cycle’s bull market has barely even begun.” Some users even went a step further, attempting to shift Schiff’s perspective and pointed out,  Source: Yohann/X Bitcoin’s performance Now, while Schiff’s criticism has fueled debate, Bitcoin’s broader performance metrics…
Bitcoin Could Deliver 25x ROI by 2026 as VET and WLD Gain Analyst Backing

Bitcoin Could Deliver 25x ROI by 2026 as VET and WLD Gain Analyst Backing

The post Bitcoin Could Deliver 25x ROI by 2026 as VET and WLD Gain Analyst Backing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto markets remain in focus as analysts predict a new supercycle for digital assets. Bitcoin leads the way, VeChain and Worldcoin gain fresh support, and MAGACOIN FINANCE is now seen as one of the strongest new altcoin opportunities. Bitcoin Path Toward $200,000 Analysts at Bernstein believe Bitcoin could trade between $150,000 and $200,000 within the next year. They expect this run to extend into 2027, which would be longer than previous four-year cycles. The forecast comes after Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $124,457 in August before slipping back to around $107,000. While this correction worried some, analysts argue that price swings are common in long market uptrends. Institutional adoption is a big driver of this forecast. Policy shifts in the U.S. under the Trump administration have added to the outlook, including allowing cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans. This opens the door to millions of new participants. At the same time, regulatory clarity is being introduced. SEC Chair Paul Atkins has launched “Project Crypto” to simplify rules for digital assets, while the new GENIUS Act sets a federal framework for dollar-backed stablecoins. These changes could help sustain growth in the market, making Bitcoin one of the best crypto to buy heading into 2026. VeChain VET Upgrade Sparks Analyst Optimism VeChain (VET) is gaining attention following its Hayabusa upgrade, which passed with a 98% approval vote from the community. This update reshapes the project’s staking model, making rewards more sustainable and aligning long-term holders with network growth. Analyst Michaël van de Poppe has called VeChain “on his radar,” hinting at a breakout as the next move. VET currently trades near $0.024 after a large correction, but analysts see room for gains toward $0.12 in the next cycle. With VeChain’s focus on supply chain innovation and recent upgrades, analysts argue it…

Blockchain-Based Identity Can Help HR Navigate AI-Generated Applications

The post Blockchain-Based Identity Can Help HR Navigate AI-Generated Applications appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Opinion by: Ignacio Palomera, co-founder and CEO of Bondex The global hiring landscape is changing rapidly. Today’s job seekers are increasingly turning to generative AI to draft cover letters, tailor resumes and even simulate interview prep.  Agentic AI is auto-applying, generative AI is drafting personalized applications at scale, and AI auto-apply tools enable candidates to apply to thousands of roles in minutes. Employers are inundated with applications that look polished, persuasive and tailored — but often lack any real signal of effort, capability or authenticity. When anyone can crank out a polished, high-quality application with just a few AI prompts, the traditional cover letter — once seen as a chance to stand out and show real intent — becomes a commodity. It stops signaling effort or enthusiasm and starts looking more like standardized output.  Hiring managers are now staring at inboxes filled with slick, personalized applications that all feel strangely similar. And that’s where the real problem kicks in: If everyone sounds qualified on paper, how can you tell who has the skills and knows how to game a prompt? It’s not about who writes best but about who can prove they can deliver in the real world. A fragile trust system gets worse with AI Traditional hiring has long relied on trust-based signals such as resumes, references and degrees, but these have always been weak proxies. Titles can be inflated, education overstated and past work exaggerated. AI blurs things even more, cloaking unverifiable claims in artificial eloquence. For fast-paced, remote-native industries like crypto or decentralized autonomous organization ecosystems, the stakes are even higher, as there’s rarely time for deep due diligence. Trust is extended quickly and often informally — risky in a pseudonymous, global environment. More HR tooling or AI detection won’t solve this. What’s needed is a stronger…
How Jimmie Johnson Is Redefining Sponsorship Inside NASCAR’s Infield

How Jimmie Johnson Is Redefining Sponsorship Inside NASCAR’s Infield

The post How Jimmie Johnson Is Redefining Sponsorship Inside NASCAR’s Infield appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA – JANUARY 25: Jimmie Johnson, co-owner of Legacy Motor Club on track prior to the Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway on January 25, 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida. (Photo by James Gilbert/Getty Images) Getty Images There was a time when NASCAR hospitality meant a folding chair in the infield, a cooler full of light beer, and maybe—if you knew the right people—a perch atop a pit box. If you were really living large, you got a suite stocked with Budweiser and bowls of pretzels. Luxury, it was not. Those days are long gone. Today, the infield is where corporate money meets corporate networking, a mashup of racing and buzzwords like “brand activation” and “synergy.” It’s less about whether your driver finishes third or thirteenth and more about how many deals get signed over sliders and a glass of Pinot. Perhaps no one is embracing this more than Jimmie Johnson, a 7-time NASCAR Cup series champion who won 83 Cup races in a storied career that made his NASCAR Hall of Fame entry a forgone inclusion. When he stepped away from fulltime NASCAR racing as a driver at the end of 2020 he wasn’t done. Far from it. In fact, some would say he was just getting started. In a move straight out of the “now for something completely different” playbook, Johnson swapped the thunderous roar of stock cars of NASCAR for the knife-edge precision of IndyCar, racing part-time in that series in 2021 and 2022 and even throwing himself into the deep end with the Indianapolis 500. The results weren’t exactly headline-grabbing, but that wasn’t the point. He’d stepped outside his comfort zone— and that willingness set the stage for his latest reinvention: not just co-owner, but now majority owner of Legacy Motor Club, a NASCAR…

Tether Denies Bitcoin Sell-Off Rumors, Reaffirms BTC, Gold, and Land Strate

Tether Denies Bitcoin Sell-Off Rumors, Reaffirms BTC, Gold, and Land Strate

The post Tether Denies Bitcoin Sell-Off Rumors, Reaffirms BTC, Gold, and Land Strate appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino has denied recent rumors that the stablecoin issuer is offloading its Bitcoin holdings to buy gold. In a Sunday post on X, Ardoino said the company “didn’t sell any Bitcoin,” and reaffirmed its strategy of allocating profits into assets like “Bitcoin, gold, and land.” The comments came in response to speculation from YouTuber Clive Thompson, who cited Tether’s Q1 and Q2 2025 attestation data from BDO to claim the firm had reduced its Bitcoin (BTC) position. Thompson pointed to a drop from 92,650 BTC in Q1 to 83,274 BTC in Q2 as evidence of a sell-off. However, Jan3 CEO Samson Mow debunked the claim, noting that Tether transferred 19,800 BTC to a separate initiative called Twenty One Capital (XXI) during the same period. That included 14,000 BTC sent in June and another 5,800 BTC in July. Tether CEO denies Bitcoin sell-off rumors.

Ardoino echoed the explanation, saying the Bitcoin was moved, not sold. “While the world continues to get darker, Tether will continue to invest part of its profits into safe assets,” he wrote.

Bitcoin Faces Quantum Threat: Potential Nakamoto Return Discussed

Bitcoin Faces Quantum Threat: Potential Nakamoto Return Discussed

The post Bitcoin Faces Quantum Threat: Potential Nakamoto Return Discussed appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Quantum computing poses challenges to Bitcoin’s security. Joseph Chalom speculates Satoshi Nakamoto might return. 25% of Bitcoin at risk due to vulnerable addresses. Joseph Chalom of SharpLink Gaming suggests Satoshi Nakamoto may reappear if Bitcoin’s security is threatened by quantum computing, discussed at the Quantum Bitcoin Summit in San Francisco. The threat of quantum computing highlights potential vulnerabilities in Bitcoin’s core cryptography, prompting urgent discussions about its future security measures and the role of dormant funds. Quantum Advances Threaten 25% of Bitcoin Holdings Bitcoin’s cryptographic infrastructure is at risk due to advancements in quantum computing. Joseph Chalom, Co-CEO of SharpLink Gaming, posits that if a threat materializes, Satoshi Nakamoto might emerge to guide protocol decisions. Jameson Lopp and Daniel Bruno Corvelo Costa are key figures in forging quantum-resistant frameworks, given the looming threat. A hard fork may be necessary to protect Bitcoin, while freezing vulnerable, inactive wallets is also under consideration. This includes those linked to Satoshi Nakamoto, which currently comprise about 25% of Bitcoin’s supply, leaving substantial value exposed. Jameson Lopp, CTO, Casa, “Bitcoin’s current signatures (ECDSA/Schnorr) will be a tantalizing target: any UTXO that has ever exposed its public key on-chain (roughly 25% of all bitcoin) could be stolen by a cryptographically relevant quantum computer.” The cryptocurrency community is engaged in rigorous debate. Key figures propose varied solutions, with no official consensus yet. Jameson Lopp stresses the threat to Bitcoin’s current cryptography, urging the need for migration to safeguard these dormant assets. Regulatory Shifts and Solutions Urged by Top Experts Did you know? In 2018, a vulnerability in Bitcoin’s inflation bug (CVE-2018-17144) posed a similar unprecedented cryptographic risk, marked by rapid community response — though never at the scale of a quantum threat.

Coinbase Lawyer? Bill Morgan Shuts Down False Media Labeling

Coinbase Lawyer? Bill Morgan Shuts Down False Media Labeling

The post Coinbase Lawyer? Bill Morgan Shuts Down False Media Labeling appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Just a day after addressing growing speculations that the U.S. leading cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase may be manipulating XRP’s price movement, Bill Morgan now has to restate his true identity after being wrongly identified by the media. On Sunday, Sept. 7, Bill Morgan was spotted on X issuing a fierce reaction to a trendy media post that appears to have mistakenly identified the pro-crypto lawyer as “Coinbase lawyer.” Bill Morgan dismisses buzz on XRP manipulation While Bill Morgan’s mislabeling as “Coinbase lawyer” might have not been intentional, the lawyer has frowned seriously at the media post, pushing strongly against the false title as he considers it a formidable insult that cannot be overlooked. Nonetheless, it is important to note that Morgan’s mislabeling as a Coinbase lawyer came amid rising debates in the crypto community that Coinbase could have been manipulating the price of XRP, which led to the recent drawdown. The claims had appeared convincing after reports about Coinbase reducing its XRP holdings surfaced. The unusual move saw Coinbase XRP holdings being slashed massively by about 69%, dropping from a massive 780 million XRP to 199 million XRP. The move saw the crypto community form the narrative that the significant reduction in Coinbase’s XRP holdings was allegedly a sell-off in an attempt to intentionally push the price of XRP down. You Might Also Like Bill Morgan had taken to the media space to address the speculation while disputing the XRP manipulation claims. In his statement, Bill Morgan had argued that the price of XRP was only forming its regular pattern, which it had also formed at the time when Coinbase did not engage in any market activity but only delisted the token from its trading platform. While Morgan further acknowledged Coinbase’s unwelcoming stance on XRP, he confirmed that the reduction in Coinbase’s XRP holdings is…
The Fed As A Source Of Economic Growth Is A Monstrous Delusion

The Fed As A Source Of Economic Growth Is A Monstrous Delusion

The post The Fed As A Source Of Economic Growth Is A Monstrous Delusion appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON, DC – NOVEMBER 08: Fed Chairman Jerome Powell prepares to deliver remarks to the The Federal Reserve’s Division of Research and Statistics Centennial Conference on November 08, 2023 in Washington, DC. Market watchers and policy makers are listening carefully to Powell for indications of whether the Fed would need to hike rates further to bring down inflation. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Getty Images “I trust that you will never lose sight of the fact that millions of Americans are dependent on the Fed continuing to support the economy’s recovery.” Those are the words of Democratic Rep. James Clyburn to Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in a 2021 hearing. The quote comes care of the Wall Street Journal’s Allysia Finley. Finley is making a point about how situational the Democrats are regarding the Fed’s so-called “independence.” Suddenly it becomes meaningful to them when it’s not them badgering the central bank for whatever economic sustenance they think the Fed can provide. Which is a long way of saying that while there was logically no outcry from the Democrats when Clyburn leaned on Powell in 2021, the noise about the importance of Fed independence at times has deafening qualities in 2025 as President Trump and his partisans lean on the Fed to allegedly make things better. Let’s just say that both sides are hopeless. Really, how soon we forget, Republicans in particular, that government has no resources. And that it only has resources insofar as actual producers have less. Which calls for a rethink of Clyburn’s veiled demand directed at Powell in 2021 relative to what Republicans are saying now. Even before Friday’s limp employment report, Republicans inside and outside the administration, and all the way up to the U.S. Treasury and the White House, were demanding rate cuts from the Fed.…
Major Suspicion in the FTX Collapse Case: Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s Messages from Those Days Have Been Deleted

Major Suspicion in the FTX Collapse Case: Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s Messages from Those Days Have Been Deleted

The post Major Suspicion in the FTX Collapse Case: Former SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s Messages from Those Days Have Been Deleted appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. It has been revealed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) deleted text message records belonging to former FTX Chairman Gary Gensler during the FTX bankruptcy process. Industry representatives claim this was not a simple error but an attempt to suppress evidence. According to a report published by the SEC Office of Comptroller, Gensler’s official mobile phone stopped syncing with agency systems on July 6, 2023. Then, under a new automatic policy implemented by the agency in August 2023, all data on devices that were not used for 45 days was deleted. The report stated that the messages in question were initially recoverable, but due to the IT team accidentally performing a factory reset, all records between October 18, 2022, and September 6, 2023, were irreversibly deleted. The period covered by the deleted messages coincides with the critical period when FTX went bankrupt in November 2022 and its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, was found guilty in November 2023. This situation raised suspicions of “obstruction of evidence” within the industry. Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal issued a scathing statement, saying, “This is not an ‘error.’ This is the destruction of evidence related to ongoing cases. Those who readily accuse others should be held to a much higher standard of accountability.” *This is not investment advice.

Pi Coin Price Faces Catastrophic Crash And Bitcoin Can’t Save It

Pi Coin Price Faces Catastrophic Crash And Bitcoin Can’t Save It

The post Pi Coin Price Faces Catastrophic Crash And Bitcoin Can’t Save It appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Pi Coin has failed to sustain its recovery over the past few days, leaving investors increasingly skeptical about its near-term outlook.  Despite Bitcoin holding steady above $110,000, Pi Coin’s detachment from the broader market makes its decline more likely to continue. Pi Coin Has A Lot Of Work Ahead Of It The correlation between Pi Coin and Bitcoin is currently at just 0.12, signaling that the altcoin is no longer tracking the moves of the world’s largest cryptocurrency. This growing divergence is worrisome, especially as Bitcoin shows signs of stability. Sponsored Sponsored Pi Coin’s decoupling from Bitcoin is counterproductive at a time when BTC is holding firm above $110,000, a crucial support level. Instead of benefiting from Bitcoin’s strength, Pi Coin’s weakness signals eroding investor confidence, making the risk of a further decline more apparent. Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here. Pi Coin Correlation To Bitcoin. Source: TradingView Technical indicators also suggest that the volatility of Pi Coin may soon increase. The Squeeze Momentum Indicator is flashing black dots, a sign that a squeeze is forming. When this releases, price action could experience sharp moves depending on broader market direction. Given the bearish environment, a volatility spike would likely accelerate Pi Coin’s decline rather than trigger a recovery. Without stronger inflows or supportive investor sentiment, the upcoming squeeze could become a key driver pushing the token closer to new lows. Pi Coin Squeeze Momentum Indicator.

If the support fails, Pi Coin’s price could slip through $0.334 and fall toward its all-time…
Can ADA Hold Its Ground Above $0.80?

Can ADA Hold Its Ground Above $0.80?

The post Can ADA Hold Its Ground Above $0.80? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto Market Consolidation The crypto market as a whole has entered a period of consolidation. The total market cap chart shows a stall just below the $4 trillion mark after peaking in mid-August. Traders remain cautious as global conditions weigh on risk assets. This sideways movement, while frustrating for momentum traders, often precedes larger breakouts and provides setups for altcoins to outperform. Total market cap in USD – TradingView Bitcoin Stability Above $110K Bitcoin ($BTC) is holding firm above the $110,000 level, after pulling back from highs near $120,000. While BTC no longer pushes aggressively higher, its consolidation signals that support is forming. Historically, these calm periods in Bitcoin price action often lead to liquidity rotating into altcoins, igniting fresh rallies. As long as BTC stays above $110K, altcoins like Cardano ($ADA) could find room to test higher levels. BTC/USD chart over the past 6 months – TradingView Cardano Price Analysis $Cardano (ADA) is currently trading at $0.82, showing resilience after a strong bounce in August. On the chart, several key levels stand out: Immediate resistance: $0.83–$0.85 (50-day SMA at $0.83 and horizontal barrier). Key support: $0.72 (200-day SMA) and $0.62 as a deeper safety net. Critical downside risk: $0.55, which remains the last strong support from earlier this year. ADA/USD 1-day chart – TradingView The RSI sits around 49, showing neutral momentum, neither overbought nor oversold. This suggests ADA could swing in either direction depending on broader market cues. Short-Term Outlook In the short term, ADA faces resistance at $0.85. A breakout above this level could trigger a move toward $1.00, with stronger upside potential to $1.20 if momentum carries. Failure to clear $0.85, however, risks a pullback to the $0.72–$0.73 zone. Medium-Term Outlook Looking further out, if Bitcoin maintains stability above $110K and the altcoin market strengthens, ADA…
Why Holders Are Turning To Layer Brett

Why Holders Are Turning To Layer Brett

The post Why Holders Are Turning To Layer Brett appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The market for meme tokens is shifting again, and many early holders are rethinking their Shiba Inu price forecast for the next few years. While SHIB still commands one of the biggest meme coin communities, growth has slowed.  That’s why investors are pivoting to Layer Brett, a new Ethereum layer 2 project that blends meme culture with real blockchain performance. With the LBRETT price set at just $0.0055 in its crypto presale and staking rewards hitting 900% APY, it’s quickly being seen as the next crypto rocket. From Shiba Inu mania to Layer 2 innovation Back in October 2021, SHIB hit its all-time high of $0.0000725, turning small bets into massive wins. Its journey showed how community energy can fuel unbelievable gains. The launch of Shibarium added layer 2 scaling for SHIB, proving memecoin projects can evolve. But with a market cap still around $7.2 billion, many wonder how realistic a huge rally is. That’s where Layer Brett stands out. Unlike older tokens, it launched directly as an Ethereum layer 2 solution, designed to scale from day one. A fresh Shiba Inu price forecast might point to steady growth, but Layer Brett offers early investors the kind of asymmetric upside they once enjoyed with SHIB. What makes Layer Brett different Layer Brett isn’t just another meme token; it’s engineered for performance and rewards. Here’s why it’s grabbing attention: Blazing speed and low costs: Up to 10,000 transactions per second with gas fees as low as $0.0001. Massive staking rewards: Early adopters can earn up to 900% APY by staking. Real-world utility: Built on the Ethereum layer 2 for genuine scalability and DeFi use. Community-first design: Fixed 10B supply, transparent tokenomics, and a $1 million giveaway to fuel engagement. At the LBRETT price of $0.0055, the entry point is low, while…
XRP Price Slides As Layer Brett Captures Attention With 20x Gains Predicted In September

XRP Price Slides As Layer Brett Captures Attention With 20x Gains Predicted In September

The post XRP Price Slides As Layer Brett Captures Attention With 20x Gains Predicted In September appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The XRP price has lost momentum after its summer rally, leaving traders who expected a bigger breakout feeling disappointed. XRP is still one of the most recognized names in crypto, but recognition hasn’t translated into strong returns. Meanwhile, the conversation is shifting. A new Ethereum Layer 2 memecoin, Layer Brett ($LBRETT), is grabbing attention in presale, with analysts suggesting it could be the one to deliver a potential 20x run by September. Why XRP is losing steam with traders For years, XRP has been tied to the promise of transforming global payments. Its network is efficient, transactions are fast, and institutional partnerships continue to expand. But the market doesn’t trade on fundamentals alone. After years of legal battles and muted price action, retail enthusiasm for XRP has cooled. Recent XRP price movements reflect that reality. While steady, the token isn’t delivering the kind of speculative upside that attracts retail flows. With analysts forecasting only modest gains in the near term, traders are now looking elsewhere for sharper returns. The search for September’s breakout play Crypto markets move in cycles of speculation. When one narrative fades, capital quickly shifts to the next. With XRP treading water, attention is shifting toward newer projects that combine viral momentum with strong infrastructure. This is where Layer Brett is making its mark. Built on Ethereum Layer 2, Brett is being called one of the most exciting meme-driven plays of 2025, with some analysts suggesting it could surge 20x by September if presale momentum translates into post-launch demand. Layer Brett’s formula for attention Unlike legacy tokens weighed down by years of history, Layer Brett ($LBRETT) has the advantage of being new and viral. Its branding taps into meme culture, while its Ethereum Layer 2 foundation delivers scalability, instant transactions, and low fees. That mix of culture…

(Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Getty Images A decline in the foreign-born labor force has not improved the fortunes of U.S.-born workers, contrary to the promises of Trump officials. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has praised the 1924 Immigration Act, which prevented Jews and many other Europeans from immigrating to America before the rise of fascism in the 1930s, as the type of immigration approach that would produce gains for U.S. workers. However, the significant drop in foreign-born workers to the United States in 2025 has not made U.S. workers better off and instead has contributed to concerns about a stagnating economy. Immigration Policies Have Led To Fewer Foreign-Born Workers The Trump administration weathered another disappointing U.S. jobs report when the Bureau of Labor Statistics announced on September 5, 2025, that total nonfarm payroll employment rose by only 22,000 in August. The total seasonally adjusted labor force has increased by only 34,000 since January 2025 and has decreased by 357,000 since its peak in April 2025. “The loss of immigrant workers and immigrant consumers is a major cause of slow job growth,” said labor economist Mark Regets, a senior fellow at the National Foundation for American Policy, in an interview. “Immigrants both create demand for the goods and services produced by U.S.-born workers and work alongside them in ways that increase productivity for both groups.” The number of foreign-born workers in the U.S. labor force has declined by 1.1 million between January and August 2025, according to a National Foundation for American Policy…

Fed Rate Cut Anticipation Shapes U.S. Stock Market Outlook

Fed Rate Cut Anticipation Shapes U.S. Stock Market Outlook

The post Fed Rate Cut Anticipation Shapes U.S. Stock Market Outlook appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Federal Reserve prepares for potential rate cut amid economic signals. Market stability hinges on upcoming CPI data release. Options traders brace for pivotal U.S. market session. The Federal Reserve’s anticipated September rate cut is advancing, influenced by weak U.S. employment figures, as traders gear up for Thursday’s CPI release. Market stability is expected despite potential volatility from inflation data, impacting risk assets like cryptocurrencies if figures exceed forecasts. Fed Decisions and Economic Implications for Investors Federal Reserve decisions have traders expecting a rate cut, following unemployment data suggesting subdued economic growth. Experts highlighted the precarious situation as the CPI data looms: “Any very positive or very negative data could change the market outlook,” stated Eric Teal, CIO at Comerica Wealth Management. Muted volatility expectations underscore market cautiousness, reflected by S&P 500 projections of a modest 0.7% swing post-CPI. However, traders warn of potential risks should inflation data exceed predictions, possibly leading to sharper market moves. High inflation data could prompt market volatility, with widespread implications for U.S. economic strategy. Eric Teal noted that such data shifts could spark major strategy adjustments. Traders have fully digested potential Fed actions, and key players anticipate modest market changes unless significant inflation surprises arise. Financial circles and industry insiders are watching closely. Several prominent figures have made cautious remarks. Dominic Pappalardo from Morningstar highlights the pervasive expectation of a rate cut. As Jerome Powell, Chair of the Federal Reserve, hinted in his speech on monetary policy, “An adjustment to the central bank’s policy stance ‘may be warranted’ given the shifting balance of risks with respect to the labor market.” As the situation unfolds, traders and analysts continue to monitor the developing events.

Meme Traders Tip Layer Brett For A Surprise 50x Breakout Before Year-End

Meme Traders Tip Layer Brett For A Surprise 50x Breakout Before Year-End

The post Meme Traders Tip Layer Brett For A Surprise 50x Breakout Before Year-End appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The XRP price prediction remains a hot topic as the token hovers near key levels, but meme traders are already shifting their focus to Layer Brett. With its Ethereum Layer-2 foundation, ultra-low gas fees, and viral community backing, Layer Brett is generating serious buzz as the next breakout star.  Analysts believe its presale momentum and record-high staking rewards could fuel a surprise 50x rally before year-end, positioning it as one of 2025’s most exciting crypto plays. XRP price prediction: XRP struggles at $3 as Layer Brett draws rising interest XRP is trading at $2.82, slipping 0.50% in the past 24 hours, as it once again tests the key $3 resistance. Analysts like CryptoBusy note a falling wedge pattern forming alongside steady support at $2.70, hinting at a possible breakout if buyers hold firm. On-chain data, however, looks weaker—CryptoQuant reports active XRP Ledger addresses have dropped 54% since July. Source Short-term pullbacks could tempt new buyers, but XRP is increasingly seen as a long-term hold rather than a fast mover. XRP’s legal clarity and institutional accessibility add safety, yet limit excitement for speculators chasing quick gains. That’s why attention is shifting to emerging projects like Layer Brett, which combines presale hype, high-yield staking, and Layer-2 scalability—elements that appeal to traders seeking faster upside. Layer Brett rockets ahead as 2025’s best crypto presale Crypto presales are known for offering early investors significant upside, but few have matched the pace of Layer Brett’s rise.

Exploring the Potential of Ozak AI in the Evolving Cryptocurrency Landscape

Exploring the Potential of Ozak AI in the Evolving Cryptocurrency Landscape

In the cryptocurrency world, timing can be everything. Established giants like Solana, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu, while popular, are currently seeing a plateau in growth, prompting investors to look towards newer, potentially high-growth investments. Ozak AI represents such an opportunity, currently available in presale at an enticing entry price of $0.01. Understanding the Shift in Investment Trends Traditional cryptocurrencies have shown impressive growth trajectories, but as they mature, their potential for exponential returns diminishes. In comparison, Ozak AI stands out with its innovative integration of AI and blockchain, which not only provides advanced trading indicators but also enhances predictability and security in transactions. With more than $2.7 million already raised in its ongoing presale and a growing base of interested investors, Ozak AI is drawing significant attention in the crypto community for its robust utility and scalability. What Makes Ozak AI a Promising Investment? Ozak AI is much more than a typical cryptocurrency; it is designed to function on the Ethereum blockchain, supporting features like predictive analytics and decentralized data feeds, which are not commonly found in meme coins or single-purpose cryptocurrencies. The token's presale price is set at $0.01, with a strategic plan to increase to $0.012 soon, aiming for a future value of $1, and analytical models suggesting a potential rise to $2.80 by 2026. For early investors, this could translate to gains ranging from 100x to 280x, with the most optimistic outlooks suggesting up to 500x returns. The Strategic Advantage of Early Investment The presale structure of Ozak AI is designed to create upward pricing pressure, offering early investors the chance to secure tokens at a lower price before it lists on exchanges. This method potentially limits losses that might come from price slippage post-listing. Independently audited by CertiK and SolidProof, and with upcoming listings planned on CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap, Ozak AI is setting a precedent for transparency and investor trust in the crypto presale arena. Why Diversify Into Ozak AI? The crypto markets often see a surge in altcoin investments in Q4, with new and innovative tokens gaining traction. Ozak AI, with its robust utility and low initial pricing, is poised to be a standout for potential exponential growth, especially as we approach the next bull cycle anticipated around 2025-2026. Moving investments from legacy cryptocurrencies like SOL, DOGE, and SHIB to a dynamic and emerging token like Ozak AI could be a strategic move for those looking for greater returns and a diversification of their portfolio. Enhance Your Crypto Strategy with Ozak AI For those looking to shake up their investment portfolio or capitalize on the next big thing in crypto, diving into Ozak AI’s presale could present a golden opportunity. Interested investors should consider not just the potential financial rewards, but also the innovative technology behind Ozak AI. Invest wisely by exploring more about Ozak AI through their official website, joining the conversation on Twitter/X, or connecting via Telegram.

Ethereum LeanVM Update Boosts Scaling and Efficiency in 2025

Ethereum LeanVM Update Boosts Scaling and Efficiency in 2025

The post Ethereum LeanVM Update Boosts Scaling and Efficiency in 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Highlights Ethereum’s leanVM update reduces costs and speeds up recursion. Vitalik Buterin highlights 2025 milestones for scaling and decentralization. LeanVM introduces new ZK-friendly architecture for safer growth. Ethereum LeanVM Update Promises Faster Scaling and Lower Costs Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the network has made significant progress in 2025 toward long-term scalability, decentralization, and sustainability. He highlighted leanVM, a minimal zero-knowledge proof virtual machine (zkVM), as a key innovation designed to reduce costs and improve efficiency. This new virtual machine is optimized for XMSS aggregation and recursion, features a four-instruction ISA, uses multi-line STARKs, and incorporates logup-lookups cryptography to cut commitment costs compared to Cairo. The current recursion speed is 2.7 seconds, and the team aims to increase this tenfold. “The team has done impressive work this year, making Ethereum more scalable while keeping it decentralized and sustainable. LeanVM is designed to support these goals efficiently, and we expect it to be ready as the short-term roadmap hits its milestones,” Buterin explained. LeanVM Milestones and the Roadmap Ethereum has already completed the Pectra update on the mainnet as of May 7, 2025. Buterin emphasized that leanVM deliberately lags slightly behind short-term scaling milestones so it can be fully prepared when the new features are live. “LeanVM is designed to integrate safely with mainnet operations. By keeping it behind the short-term roadmap, we ensure that scaling happens smoothly without requiring extra infrastructure,” he added. The update focuses on simplicity in protocol design, minimizing code complexity while maintaining robustness and reliability. Buterin described protocols as carefully crafted tools, not something to rush, ensuring they are clean, efficient, and long-lasting. Long-Term Benefits for Ethereum The leanVM update is expected to: Reduce costs for large-scale computations. Speed up recursion for ZK-proof computations. Maintain network decentralization and security. These improvements position Ethereum for sustainable…

Paxos to Launch Hyperliquid’s First Stablecoin USDH

Paxos to Launch Hyperliquid’s First Stablecoin USDH

        Highlights:  Paxos unveils USDH stablecoin, adhering to U.S. GENIUS Act and Europe’s MiCA. 95% of the USDH reserve interest will buy back HYPE tokens for redistribution. Paxos aims to expand Hyperliquid adoption globally, bridging crypto users and institutions.  Stablecoin infrastructure firm Paxos filed a proposal with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Saturday to launch USDH, marking Hyperliquid’s first stablecoin. The company emphasizes that USDH will adhere to international regulations, including the U.S. GENIUS Act, Europe’s MiCA framework, and compliance standards across APAC, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. The new token is set to operate on both HyperEVM and HyperCore networks. “We propose the launch of USDH, a Hyperliquid-first, fully compliant stablecoin purpose built to drive adoption, align incentives, and anchor the ecosystem’s next era of growth,” Paxos wrote. The statement revealed that 95% of earnings from USDH reserves will be allocated to repurchasing Hyperliquid’s native HYPE token. Paxos will continue to maintain high-quality reserves, including T-Bills, Repos, and USDG, to ensure stability and compliance.  Proposal submitted: USDH powered by Paxos USDH issued by Paxos would mean: ❏ Global issuance that is GENIUS compliant❏ Revenue sharing that fuels HYPE, protocols and validators❏ Regulatory clarity + global scale to match @HyperliquidX's explosive growth Hyperliquid. pic.twitter.com/iKIFUOT0bQ — Paxos (@Paxos) September 6, 2025  Paxos Drives Hyperliquid Growth with USDH and Revenue Sharing Revenue sharing will be based on how much USDH people hold and trade on Hyperliquid platforms. The bought-back HYPE tokens will be distributed among users, validators, and partner platforms. Paxos said Hyperliquid’s next growth stage depends on gaining trust from institutions and businesses using on-chain services. The company aims to use its global network to bring Hyperliquid into the wider financial system, reaching beyond crypto users to major enterprises. CoFounder of Paxos Labs, Bhau Kotecha, stated: “We believe Hyperliquid will be the foundational platform for global, decentralized finance. This is why Paxos is committed to making Hyperliquid the first priority with Paxos Labs, a new entity dedicated to accelerating stablecoin adoption within decentralized ecosystems.” Kotecha announced that Paxos Labs, a recently established branch of Paxos, acquired Molecular Labs to accelerate stablecoin adoption within the Hyperliquid ecosystem. Molecular Labs powers LHYPE and WHLP, supporting Hyperliquid since HyperEVM started.  LHYPE integrates with platforms like Hyperlend, HypurrFi, and Felix, and operates on Pendle, HypurrFi, and various other decentralized exchanges.WHLP actively connects with Hyperliquid’s core yield sources on decentralized exchanges. The USDH stablecoin is designed to encourage global adoption while offering rewards for both users and developers. The company also intends to list HYPE as an asset within its brokerage infrastructure. Paxos Aims to Expand USDH Beyond Crypto Users Paxos is promoting USDH not just for crypto users, but also as a bridge for traditional institutions. By following the proposed U.S. GENIUS Act and Europe’s MiCA rules, the company aims to remove one of the biggest hurdles for large-scale stablecoin adoption: regulatory uncertainty. With its strong global presence, Paxos can drive USDH adoption into the mainstream. Paxos currently works with more than 70 financial institutions and provides crypto services for platforms such as PayPal, Venmo, and MercadoLibre. This network could help USDH reach both institutional trading desks and consumer fintech platforms quickly.    eToro Platform    Best Crypto Exchange   Over 90 top cryptos to trade Regulated by top-tier entities User-friendly trading app 30+ million users    9.9   Visit eToro eToro is a multi-asset investment platform.
