World Mobile Token has developed by integrating Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to boost cross-chain token exchange and staking. This integration across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Base, and Arbitrum, makes user transactions smooth.
World Mobile ensures secure and reliable cross-chain operations, benefiting from CCIP’s security features and risk management protocols. Chainlink shared this strategic integration with Chainlink (LINK) through its official X account.
Expanding Secure Cross-Chain Transfers with Chainlink CCIP Chainlink CCIP introduces arbitrary messaging capabilities, further streamlining the cross-chain process. This allows the World Mobile Token (WMT) network to offer simplified, secure staking across different chains. Consequently, users can stake on one chain and receive rewards on another, improving overall functionality.
World Mobile selected CCIP due to its proven track record of reliability in the Web3 industry. Chainlink’s CCIP is built with an independent Risk Management Network, which monitors cross-chain activities for suspicious behavior. This added layer of protection is crucial, given the exposure historically seen in the cross-chain sector.
Strengthening the World Mobile Ecosystem Chainlink’s integration brings several critical features to the World Mobile ecosystem. The CCIP Token Transfer solution allows audited token pool contracts to manage minting, locking, and burning tokens, creating an efficient and secure transaction system. Additionally, programmable token transfers enable data to be processed alongside tokens, streamlining developer transactions.
Moreover, CCIP is designed for future scalability. World Mobile Token’s decision to integrate CCIP ensures that new blockchain functionalities can be incorporated without costly upgrades or transitions. Hence, CCIP’s flexibility makes it the ideal solution for cross-chain operations.
This integration comes as World Mobile continues its mission to disrupt the telecom industry by offering decentralized mobile networks, focusing on underserved communities globally. By combining blockchain technology and sharing economy principles, World Mobile Token seeks to provide affordable and high-quality connectivity worldwide.
Chainlink CCIP is designed to be future-proof. It supports continuous updates, allowing World Mobile Token to adapt to new functionalities and blockchain networks. This future flexibility eliminates potential switching costs, making it a cost-effective and scalable solution for World Mobile Token’s growth.
World Mobile’s CEO, Micky Watkins, highlighted the importance of CCIP in securing their ecosystem, stating that it will enable staking across different blockchains while expanding the company’s offerings without compromising security.

Jiang Zhuoer: This round of Bitcoin bear market may bottom out in Q4 2026, with a target range of $42,000 to $44,000.
BTC.TOP founder Jiang Zhuoer wrote in a post that Strategy’s modified net asset value (mNAV) has fallen to 0.72, near the 0.7 low hit in May 2022 during the last bear market. Citing recent market sentiment events including STRC’s depegging, he noted that mNAV is now in the bottom zone of this cycle. mNAV usually bottoms roughly six months before Bitcoin’s price. Using the "four-year cycle" and volatility decay model, Jiang projected that this Bitcoin bear market will likely bottom between October and December 2026, with a target price range of $42,000 to $44,000. He added that his recent medium-short term strategy remains focused on selling spot assets and holding short positions, and will switch to buying spot and going long once the expected bottom arrives.

According to EmberCN’s monitoring, whale address 0xbilly liquidated 2,409 ETH in the early hours of today when ETH fell to around $1,569.5, worth approximately $3.78 million, with a total loss of roughly $220,000. Notably, this batch of ETH was purchased just one day ago for about 4 million USDC, at an average price of approximately $1,660.2. The address also previously bought 7,768.5 ETH at a high of $2,254 in March this year, valued at around $17.51 million, and exited via stop-loss four days later, incurring a loss of roughly $800,000.
Crypto markets falling back on Monday; BSV, XRP, and Tron dropping back, Litecoin and NEO stay afloat. Market Wrap Crypto markets are seeing red as we begin another trading week. Most of the majors are in decline following Bitcoin’s failure to hold gains and break $8,000. Total market capitalization has dropped below $250 billion and is poised to fall further as the selloff accelerates.
Bitcoin has dumped 2.5 percent on the day falling from just under $8k down to support at $7,500. BTC recovered a little during early Asian trading but is still down on the day trading at around $7,700. A big bearish signal was given by the weekly candle which was biggest drop since December at almost 11 percent.
As expected Ethereum is faring no better with a slide of over 3 percent down to $235. There is strong support around the $210 area and it could soon be there if analysts are correct.
The rest of the top ten is in the red as crypto declines increase. Bitcoin SV has dropped the most at over 6 percent falling back to $183. XRP is not far behind with over 4 percent lost as the Ripple token falls below $0.40 again. Bitcoin Cash, Binance Coin and Stellar are not doing much better. Litecoin has remained steady as halving fomo continues to drive LTC higher.
Top twenty losses are marginally greater with Tron dumping the most at over 5 percent. IOTA, Cosmos and Ethereum Classic are all losing around 3 percent and NEO is the only altcoin in the green adding 2 percent to remain over $12.
FOMO: Nebulas Skyrockets A massive dose of fomo has hit NAS today as it shoots up 45 percent. The autonomous smart asset platform does not appear to have anything fundamentally driving it aside from yesterday’s Nebulas Council Election Assistance Campaign launch;
Also getting a pump today is GXChain which has surged 36 percent and NULS up almost 20 percent. At the messy end of the crypto top one hundred is HyperCash dumping 13 percent while Ravencoin gets hit 9 percent on the day.
Total market cap 24 hours. Coinmarketcap.com Total crypto market capitalization has declined $5 billion since this time yesterday. It is now at $247 billion with a daily volume of $62 billion. Over the week markets are down 8.5 percent as over $20 billion has left the space. With Bitcoin poised to fall further the pain is likely to continue this week.
Market Wrap is a section that takes a daily look at the top cryptocurrencies during the current trading session and analyses the best-performing ones, looking for trends and possible fundamentals.
The world of cryptocurrencies is gathering pace at a rapid fervour. People are buying into blockchain technology, and understand its potential applications in several sectors of business. It is quite amusing to think that experts once touted blockchain technology to not last the tryst of times.
That being said, the volatility of cryptocurrencies has attracted many investors. Savvy investors are always on the lookout for projects with good potential, and ways and means to reap quick profits off cryptocurrency selections. Are the top 5 cryptocurrencies worth investing in, in 2020? Should you focus on other cryptocurrencies? Read on to find out, and learn much more!
Cryptocurrencies You Must Focus On In 2020 Bitcoin A rather uninspiring choice, but among the best, Bitcoin may just have a wonderful 2020. Bitcoin was priced at $3798.62 on the 4th of January 2019, and ended the year at $7,177.36, on the 31st of December. Bitcoin has had a strong start to 2020, and with Bitcoin Halving looming around the corner, Bitcoin may experience an exponential rise in its valuation.
The first two (last two) incidents of Bitcoin Halving saw the price of Bitcoin rise exponentially, over a period 12 months, and 18 months respectively. This time around, Bitcoin may rise in its price over a longer period of time, or not at all. Some experts have touted Bitcoin’s price to rise up to $100,000 by the end of 2020, while others have predicted Bitcoin to fall to $4,000.
Bitcoin Trader review 2020 in accordance with Bitcoin’s strong start to the year, and the Bitcoin Halving procedure in due course of 2020 expects that Bitcoin might be the perfect cryptocurrency to invest in, in 2020, and for the long term.
Binance Coin Binance Coin started 2019 at $6.06, on the 3rd of January, 2019, and ended the year at $13.71, on the 31st of December. Much like Bitcoin, Binance Coin too, experienced great growth over the course of 2019, and has started 2020 well. Binance Coin is growing from strength to strength, and according to some experts, may hit the $25 mark, by the end of the year.
Going into 2020, you must keep an eye out for Binance’s projects and plans for the year, as it may affect the price of Binance Coin. That being said, Binance Coin is a wonderful option for you, in 2020.
Seele Seele had a rollercoaster end to the year, rising in its evaluation from $0.0866 on the 12th of November, 2019, to $0.17, on the 24th of November. Seele has been in the $0.1-0.15 range ever since, and is a good bet, going into 2020.
Since Seele is not among the top performing cryptocurrencies in the world, you must conduct due research, and determine whether its underlying project is likely to experience a surge in growth and interest, in the long term. In the short term, Seele could be a good investment medium.
Ethereum Meta Barely known to investors until the end of 2019, Ethereum Meta experienced an enormous surge in price, from $0.000005 on the 30th of November, to $0.000101 on the 25th of December. Going into 2020, its craze may still be on the high, and the token is worth looking into.
That being said, as is the case with Seele, you must perform your due diligence, and look into Ethereum Meta’s underlying project to determine whether it is a good fit for your investment portfolio, or not. In the short term, Ethereum Meta could be an excellent investment option.
Conclusion on what cryptocurrencies to focus in 2020 The above mentioned cryptocurrencies are worth looking into, come 2020. While Bitcoin and Binance Coin are known to a larger audience, Ethereum Meta and Seele are still relative unknowns, and you must ensure that you conduct due research, before investing in them, or any cryptocurrency for that matter - Never jump into a sea whose depth is unknown to you.
Bitcoin may have a wonderful 2020, and you must keep up to date with the latest news surrounding the cryptocurrency. While the exact date of Bitcoin Halving is unknown as of now, Bitcoin may experience a surge, or dip in its price in 2020, and it is an asset worth investing in, keeping the long term in mind.

Coinbase, the leading crypto exchange in the US, recently announced that it will include Stader (SD) in its asset listings roadmap.
This announcement spurred a dramatic surge in SD’s price.
SD Token Price Surges Amid New ListingsAccording to BeInCrypto’s data, SD has risen nearly 104% from $0.417695 to $0.850730 within just four hours. Despite the initial surge, SD’s price has stabilized. It is trading at $0.642826 at the time of writing.

SD Price Performance. Source: BeInCryptoStader is a non-custodial, multi-chain liquid staking platform. It offers users access to some of the most rewarding decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities across Proof-of-Stake (PoS) networks. These include Ethereum, Polygon, BNB, and Hedera.
SD, Stader’s native token, is an ERC-20 token with a maximum supply of 120 million. This token boasts multiple utilities, including a unique SD Utility Pool, liquidity mining incentives, and a governance role within the Stader protocol.
Stader distinguishes itself from native Ethereum staking by lowering the capital commitment for node operators. Instead of the 32 ETH required for native staking, Stader allows node operators to maintain the network with just 4 ETH.
This reduced bond is supplemented by liquid stakers, enabling the issuance of the ETHx token and representing the entire stake. Furthermore, Stader offers users a 50% reward boost, resulting in a reward rate exceeding 6%, while node operators can earn up to 35% more yields with 8x leverage on their staked ETH.
ETHx Restaking Launch and Chainlink Integration Elevate Stader’s DeFi GameIn December 2023, Stader’s ETHx became an accepted liquid staking token (LST) for restaking on EigenLayer. Starting December 18, 2023, users can restake their ETHx.
They can participate either directly on EigenLayer or through the Early Queue on Kelp DAO. These options aim to maximize the rewards for ETHx holders and enhance the staking experience.
Stader also integrated Chainlink CCIP across the Ethereum and Arbitrum mainnets in June. By leveraging CCIP’s Simplified Token Transfer capabilities, Stader facilitates secure cross-chain transfers of ETHx. Stader is sponsoring the ETHx/ETH Chainlink Price Feed on Ethereum to boost ETHx adoption across DeFi.
“We’re excited to integrate the industry-standard Chainlink CCIP to help secure cross-chain transfers of ETHx. By leveraging CCIP’s level-5 security and advanced risk management infrastructure, we can help increase the adoption of ETHx across DeFi,” Amitej Gajjala, Co-Founder of Stader Labs, said.

Stader’s TVL. Source: Token TerminalAccording to Token Terminal data, Stader’s current total value locked (TVL) is $474.74 million. Although this represents a decrease from its year-high of $706.84 million on March 13, the recent inclusion of Stader on Coinbase’s roadmap signals a vote of confidence in its potential, promising further growth and adoption within the crypto community.
Travala.com, a blockchain-based hotel booking platform, has announced that crypto users can now pay with the stablecoin Tether (USDT). Travelers can book a stay at any number of accommodations around the world on the online platform by using USDT.
Travala.com is an Amsterdam-based travel firm with over 17,000 employees around the world. The company’s platform offers crypto users access to over two million properties in more than 90,000 destinations across 230 territories.
In addition to Tether, Travala.com also accepts crypto payments in the form of Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Litecoin, Binance Coin, Bitcoin Cash, Stellar, and Cardano. The company touts that its prices are up to 40% cheaper than other travel booking platforms.
Says CEO Matt Luczynski,
“Part of our mission is to provide our users with a wide choice of the most well known and used cryptocurrencies so it made perfect sense for us to integrate USDT as a payment option on Travala.com.”
Tether is the most popular cryptocurrency in terms of trading volume. At time of writing, Tether’s 24-hour trading volume is over $26.6 billion compared to Bitcoin’s $22.1 billion. Ethereum is a far third at $8.47 billion.
OnchainLens monitoring reported on December 21 that Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has sold multiple cryptocurrencies over the past two days—including UNI, ZORA, BNB, KNC, OMG and other meme tokens—totaling tens of thousands of dollars. Following those sales, he transferred approximately $564,672 in USDC and 27 ETH (valued at roughly $80,364) using the privacy protocol Railgun.

Vice President of Strive: Strategy's STRC Has Essential Differences from the Luna/UST Model
Strive Vice President Joe Burnett wrote in an article that prior to the TerraUSD collapse, roughly $18.7 billion in UST was in circulation, backed by just $3.1 billion in Bitcoin reserves, and UST allowed immediate redemptions. Currently, Strategy holds around $51.5 billion in Bitcoin, corresponding to a circulating STRC supply of approximately $10.5 billion, while STRC is not an immediately redeemable asset. He stressed that the two differ significantly in collateral structure, asset coverage ratio, and redemption mechanism, noting "they are clearly completely different models."

Micron's conference call delivers strong signals: the memory shortage will continue until 2028, and AI long-term contracts are rewriting the industry cycle narrative.
Micron Technology (MU) revealed in its early-morning earnings call that its strategic customer agreements rose from 1 to 16 sequentially, covering roughly 20% of its DRAM shipments and around one-third of its NAND shipments. Of these deals, 14 calculated at minimum contract prices represent a cumulative remaining revenue of approximately $100 billion. CEO Sanjay Mehrotra said these agreements will "fundamentally transform" the company’s business model. The key takeaway for the market is that Micron is being repositioned from a highly cyclical memory stock to an AI infrastructure provider with far greater revenue visibility. During the call, Micron disclosed it expects industry tightness to persist beyond 2027, and even as supply gradually improves in 2028, there is no clear timeline for supply to catch up with demand. Management attributed this gap to the large scale, complexity, and long lead times of new semiconductor fab construction. CFO Mark Murphy noted that DRAM revenue jumped 343% year-over-year to $31.3 billion, while NAND revenue surged 361% YoY to $9.9 billion. DRAM prices rose in the low-60% range, and NAND prices increased in the mid-80% range. He explained that the quarter’s earnings, which handily beat market expectations, were driven more by pricing power and supply-demand imbalances rather than just shipment volume. The company forecasts capital expenditure of roughly $10 billion this quarter, and $27 billion for full fiscal 2026. Fiscal 2027 quarterly capex will exceed the FY2026 fourth quarter level, with more than half allocated to cleanroom construction. However, the CFO also stated that free cash flow for the current quarter is expected to continue rising sharply. Overall, the call’s messaging sent three key signals to the market: persistent memory shortages, customer willingness to sign long-term agreements, and further upside for prices. This drove Micron’s (MU) shares to surge nearly 16% in U.S. post-market trading.
In a blog post on Tuesday, Binance Exchange, the largest crypto trading platform by volume, announced the automatic conversion of several delisted tokens to USDC.
This action will be executed based on the average token to USDC exchange rate within the conversion period.
What Binance Exchange Users Need To KnowAfter delisting 10 tokens from its catalog, Binance said in a follow-up message that it would convert them to USDC automatically, enabling holders to access their funds. After the conversion happens, the exchange will credit the stablecoin equivalent of the affected tokens to users’ wallets by April 28, 2025. The tokens include:
Vai (VAI) Tornado Cash (TORN) OMG Network (OMG) Waves (WAVES) NEM (XEM) BarnBridge (BOND) Dock (DOCK) Mdex (MDX) Polkastarter (POLS) Pundi X PURSE (PURSE) Read more: Binance Review 2024: Is It the Right Crypto Exchange for You?
Holders of these tokens should adjust their trading strategies accordingly to prepare for the upcoming changes. Failure to do so by October 28 would see them automatically converted to USDC, effectively phasing out the affected tokens from the exchange.
“During the Conversion Period [between October 29, 2024 and April 28, 2025], users will not be able to view the above tokens in their Binance wallets,” Binance articulated.
In this regard, it is worth mentioning that the history of Binance’s tokens delisting often inspires volatility. For instance, the exchange delisted six altcoins around mid-August, causing double-digit price drops for PowerPool (CVP) and Ellipsis (EPX). These tokens also featured among the delisted assets.
However, Binance is not only removing several tokens but also adding new ones to its platform. One of the notable additions is Scroll (SCR), a zkRollup scaling solution for Ethereum.
As per the announcement, SCR will be listed on October 11, with pre-market trading for the SCR/USDT pair set to open. This move supports Ethereum’s scalability by enabling faster, more efficient transactions while maintaining security and decentralization.
“Binance is excited to announce the 60th project on Binance Launchpool – Scroll (SCR), a Bytecode-level compatible zkEVM Rollup,” an excerpt in Binance’s announcement read.

With this listing notice, Binance becomes the first platform to list Scroll’s powering token. The exchange will also airdrop 55,000,000 SCR, representing 5.5% of the total supply. Airdrop farming will start on Wednesday, October 9. The participants must lock their BNB and FDUSD to receive the SCR tokens.
In brief Altcoins fell with bitcoin yesterday—but, like BTC, are showing modest recovery today. The biggest winner of the day was Contentos's COS, which saw its price pump 158%. Most other coins in the top 200 say modest single-digit boosts. When bitcoin sneezes, altcoins get the flu. That’s probably a bad joke to make right now, but you get the point: As goes the market for bitcoin, so go the thousands of other cryptocurrencies whose fate is pegged to the mother of all blockchains. And, with BTC itself falling 10% yesterday alone, it was hardly surprising that the market cap for crypto overall dropped $40 billion from Saturday through Monday.
But now that the market appears to be recovering a bit, so are altcoins, with the vast majority of the top 100 seeing modest gains. The big winner of the day (at least in the top 200 coins on CoinMarketCap) was Contentos. The content-management system’s native token, COS, is on the Binance Coin platform and enjoys a $36 million market cap, making it the 107th most valuable coin. Today, it saw a 158% pump—to $0.03.
Who knows why! But hearty congratulations, to the Contentos whale, from the entire Decrypt team...
A fine day for Contentos via Coinmarketcap.comElsewhere, gains were far less spectacular. We took a look at some of the better known altcoins to see how they’re doing. (The numbers next to them represent their ranking on CoinMarketCap).
Coronacoin (NCOV) #N/AIf any altcoin should be benefiting from the ravages of covid-19, it’s the Coronacoin. Yet it isn’t listed on CoinMarketCap, and it’s so low on CoinGecko, we couldn’t find a ranking associated with it. The NCOV token allows traders to bet on the new coronavirus epidemic, and it’s stumbling. In the last 24 hours the token saw a 25 percent drop in price, according to CoinGecko.
At the end of February, NCOV was $.03. It was $.0015 when I looked early today. Oddly, the value of the altcoin is supposed to increase when people die, because the networks proportionately burns coins. But all that Corona death isn’t helping the price, apparently.
Still, Sunny Kemp, a Coronacoin developer, maintains his sunny optimism. “The project is doing great,” he told Decrypt via a chat in Telegram. According to him, the alcoin was recently listed on two (obscure) exchanges—Altmarkets and Satoexchange—and the project made its first RedCross donation for $235. (The project is not as cynical as it sounds, and allocates 20 percent of its NCON supply to the non-government agencies every month.)
Fans of its gallows humor will be heartened to hear that, to boost the sihitcoin's price, the team is working on a new morbid game that will put the token to use. The game is similar to Pandemic for Android, where the player creates a pathogen in an effort to annihilate the human population.
“You create a virus and infect countries. The rate of infection and severity of the virus is dependent upon how you engineer the virus,” Kemp said in describing how it works. His team even consulted a biomedical researcher to design the game, he said.
But as to the dismal price of NCOV, he wouldn’t comment. “I cannot comment on price, we are not a security, $nCoV is a utility token,” he said.
Cardano (ADA) #12 Cardano was started by Charles Hoskinson, the ex-CEO of Ethereum. The network launched in October 2017, and in January 2018, when its native token peaked at $1.25, ADA owners were a happy bunch. The token went on to plummet to $.15 later in the year. After that, it saw a few hopeful pumps and now it’s tooting along at $.05.
To be fair, the total circulating supply of ADA is about 26 billion, so even though they aren’t worth much, there’s a hefty number of them. Hoskinson argues that based on the initial coin offering, which brought in $64 million, ADA is still good value for investors.
Still, the big question is, when will the Cardano project be decentralized? It has been centralized since its launch in September 2017. Speaking to Decrypt on the phone from his Colorado farm last night, Hoskinson said that will happen when the project transitions from Byron to its Shelley release sometime later this year. Shelly was originally slated to come out in 2018.
In defense, he said: “It’s always been a five year project from the beginning.”
Ethereum (ETH) #2Second only to bitcoin in marketcap ETH, the native token of the Ethereum blockchain, had been on a bit of a roll lately. At least it was until mid February when ETH was at $257. Since then the price dropped slowly—until yesterday when it plunged below $192. It's back up to $201 today.
Hedera Hashgraph (HBAR) #41Hashgraph falls into the category of “mathcoins.” Similar to other mathcoins, such as Maidsafe, Nano and IOTA (we’ll get into the latter two in a minute), the project promises a consensus mechanism that will solve all the problems of bitcoin’s energy consuming proof-of-work with clever new mathematics. And like some of the other mathcoins, Hashgraph doesn’t even use a blockchain. It uses a “hashgraph” instead.
At the same time, it still makes all the tantalising promises of cryptocurrency, including a decentralised censorship-resistant network with fast, secure and cheap transactions, but sans the headaches of PoW.
In mid-February, after Hashgraph announced that Google would be joining its high-profile governing council, the price of HBAR shot to above $.05 for the first time since the network’s launch in July 2017. Now it is sitting at below $.05 again.
Nanocoin (NANO) #58Billed as “digital money for the real world,” Nanocoin (formerly RaiBlocks) is another mathcoin that employs all kinds of mad scientist technology. It uses “directed acyclic graph architecture” and employs its own “block-lattice architecture,” which means every individual is assigned their own blockchain.
None of that has helped the price of the NANO, which flatlined in recent months. At its highpoint in January 2018, the altcoin was worth $34. Although it hasn’t tumbled as far as others in the recent dip, it was at $.70 today.
Communications Manager Andy Johnson, shrugged off the recent change in price. “Volatility is a symptom of the nascent cryptocurrency industry,” he told Decrypt via email.
He assured us that the project is well provisioned. “Early caution ensured that we have been able to maintain a razor-sharp focus on our goals and equipped with the resources to refine the protocol and build out the surrounding ecosystem,” he said.
The project claims it is decentralized, but it also uses proof-of-stake, which means that the largest bagholders control consensus. One of them is crypto exchange Binance, which trades about 30% of the volume.
IOTA (MIOTA) #24IOTA is proof that a network doesn’t need to be operational for an altcoin to go up in price.
Similar to Nanocoin, IOTA runs on a DAG. IOTA is not decentralized—it’s network relies on a central coordinator node, which it shut down on Feb. 12, after its Trinity wallet was hacked.
(The project didn’t say how much was lost, but IOTA founder David Sønstebø recently said he was paying back users $2 million with his own funds.)
The big task for the project is getting rid of the coordinator node—or “coordicide,” but it isn’t there yet—and hasn’t been since it launched its mainnet in July 2016.
Shutting down a network is unusual because cryptocurrencies are by nature supposed to be unstoppable, but this one apparently isn’t. The IOTA project promised it would spin the network back up Tuesday, after being turned off for nearly a month.
Despite the network literally being shut off—and a lot of other ongoing drama in the project—though it has dropped from $.03 in early February, the price of IOTA coin actually went up 4% earlier today, to nearly $.02, according to CoinMarketCap. That might lead one to the conclusion that nothing can kill a zombie altcoin.
Ripple (XRP) #3Ah, Ripple, the platform people love to hate as being a wold in crypto's clothes. Though it has a total supply of $99 billion, most XRP is in the hands of Ripple, which currently has $54 billion in escrow. (The platform unlocks $1 billion each month and sells it.)
Our good friend XRP saw a steady decline in price last year, sinking from $0.35 in early 2019, down to $0.25. In the past few days, it dropped a few more cents to $0.21, where it currently resides—up nearly 3% in the past 24 hours.
Tether (USDT) #5Tether is everyone’s favorite fictional trading reserve. Pegged to the U.S. dollar, USDT is the essential source of liquidity in the crypto trading markets. Every 24 hours, the entire $4.6 billion supply of tethers sloshes around 11 times. Though right now, tether is $0.99, it’s known to slide at times. Like in April 2017 when it lost its peg and dropped to $0.91. Who knows what could happen if we ever learn the real story of what’s behind those tethers.

Analysis: Bitcoin miners face profit pressure, with around 20% of mining firms now operating below the break-even point.
Bitcoin miners' revenue continues to decline, with the current 7-day average daily income dropping to around $30 million, a notable pullback from the over $50 million level seen last summer. Meanwhile, on-chain transaction fee revenue has fallen to less than $250,000, accounting for an extremely small share of miners' total income. Data from JPMorgan Chase shows the average production cost is approximately $78,000, and Bitcoin’s price has remained below this level for five consecutive months — the longest such stretch in the current cycle. An estimated 20% of miners are already operating at a loss; some high-cost miners have begun frequently powering their mining rigs on and off in response to price fluctuations, leading to a stronger correlation between network hash rate difficulty and Bitcoin’s price. Additionally, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty was adjusted down by roughly 10% in the second week of June, marking the second pullback of the same magnitude this year. Publicly listed mining companies, meanwhile, are relying more on their balance sheets to sustain operations, selling over 32,000 BTC in the first quarter alone to cover operating costs. Analysts note that against the backdrop of continuously shrinking block subsidies and stagnant fee revenue, a recovery in miners’ profits will primarily depend on a rise in Bitcoin’s price.

Micron posted strong quarterly results, with its quarterly revenue and next-quarter outlook significantly exceeding market expectations. Its stock surged nearly 16% in after-hours trading, driving a broad rally across the storage sector.
According to its official financial report, Micron Technology (MU.O) reported Q3 fiscal 2026 revenue of $41.456 billion, beating market expectations of $35.423 billion and surging from $9.301 billion in the year-ago period. The company issued Q4 fiscal revenue guidance of $50 billion, against market expectations of $42.915 billion. Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra stated: "Micron’s record-breaking Q3 fiscal financial results and stronger Q4 outlook reflect the strategic value of memory chips in the AI era. We believe our multi-year strategic customer agreements will significantly enhance the durability and predictability of Micron’s strong financial performance." Micron’s Q3 report showed net profit of $28.24 billion, or $24.67 per share, up from $1.89 billion, or $1.68 per share, in the same period last year. Excluding certain one-time items, Micron reported adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $25.11, exceeding analysts’ consensus estimate of $20.86. Driven by the quarterly revenue and outlook that topped expectations, as of press time, Micron jumped 15.95% in post-market trading on the U.S. stock market, also lifting other memory stocks sharply: Seagate (STX) rose 10.21%, Western Digital (WDC) gained 12.31%, and SanDisk (SNDK) surged 15.77%.

Polymarket integrates with Telegram via TON, enabling users to participate in prediction markets directly within the messaging app.
Polymarket has been integrated into Telegram via Predict, a native decentralized application (dApp) of the TON ecosystem. Developed by the Getgems team, the app allows users to directly participate in prediction markets covering sports, politics, cryptocurrency, culture and other sectors within Telegram. Transaction results are settled on-chain, and users retain full control over their assets. Users can participate in trades using USDT on the TON network, and pay a small amount of GRAM for gas fees. The cross-chain infrastructure is powered by STON.fi’s Omniston protocol, enabling the prediction market service to seamlessly integrate into the Telegram ecosystem.
Saturday, April 20 — The LayerZero cross-chain bridge for rsETH (a liquidity re-staking token from Kelp DAO) was hacked, marking the largest DeFi hack of 2026 to date. The attacker forged LayerZero cross-chain messages to withdraw 116,500 rsETH directly from the bridge contract, then deposited the tokens into Aave and other lending platforms to borrow WETH—creating significant uncollateralized bad debt risk. Below is a roundup of responses from major DeFi protocols to the rsETH hack: Aave has shared an update on the rsETH incident: rsETH on the Ethereum mainnet is fully collateralized. The token remains frozen on Aave V3 and V4, while WETH reserves are frozen in affected markets including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Mantle, and Linea. Aave is actively verifying details and evaluating potential resolutions. Ethena has officially extended the suspension period for its LayerZero OFT cross-chain bridge. Additionally, the protocol released updated reserve proofs confirming its USDe stablecoin maintains a collateralization ratio above 100%. LayerZero stated it has fully grasped the rsETH vulnerability and has been collaborating with the Kelp DAO team on fixes since the hack occurred, while continuously monitoring the situation. All other applications remain secure, and the protocol will publish a comprehensive post-incident analysis report alongside Kelp DAO once all relevant information is compiled. Fluid announced the launch of its aWETH redemption protocol, which enables ETH borrowers to: redeem for wstETH or weETH (restoring liquidity immediately and reducing liquidation risk); redeem in full if they only borrowed ETH; or seamlessly convert ETH collateral to wstETH/weETH while keeping other debts intact. The protocol’s initial capacity is capped at $1 billion worth of ETH. Morpho has temporarily suspended its MORPHO LayerZero OFT cross-chain bridge on Arbitrum until the root cause of the rsETH incident is identified. The protocol noted its smart contracts are secure and operating normally; risk exposure is limited (only ~$1 million worth of ETH was borrowed using rsETH as collateral, spread across two isolated markets out of thousands total). Thanks to Morpho’s fully isolated market design, all other vaults remain unaffected. Curve Finance announced it has suspended its LayerZero infrastructure, impacting: CRV bridging from BNB, Sonic, Avalanche, Fantom, Etherlink, and Kava (bridging from other chains still uses native bridges); and crvUSD quick bridging (L2 slow bridging remains operational). Reserve issued an official update: Its DTF holders are unlikely to be affected. RSR stakers in the Reserve Protocol’s USD3 and eUSD may qualify for "first-loss capital" protection, though the impact is minimal and RSR’s overcollateralization is sufficient to cover any potential losses. ETH+ and bsdETH contain no rsETH collateral, making them zero-risk. As a precaution, Reserve has temporarily paused minting, rebalancing, and RSR unstaking for eUSD and USD3—redemption functionality remains operational. Maple Finance stated all USDT provided on Aave Mantle using syrupUSDT has been withdrawn. Its syrupUSDC and syrupUSDT products are not impacted by the rsETH exploit. Polygon has been actively monitoring the rsETH exploit. The Polygon chain, Agglayer, and entire ecosystem (including Katana and Vaultbridge) have not been impacted by the incident. EtherFi announced its protocol’s liquidity pool remains unaffected by the Kelp rsETH exploit, and pool users will not suffer any fund losses. Hyperliquid’s DeFi project Hyperwave announced it has temporarily suspended all LayerZero bridging of Hyperwave assets as a precautionary measure.

PANews reported on January 9th that, according to a Binance announcement, starting from 16:00 (UTC+8) on January 16, 2026, Binance will cease supporting deposits and withdrawals of certain tokens on the following networks: Dar Open Network (D) through the Ethereum network, and Streamr (DATA) through the BNB Smart Chain and Polygon networks. After this date, deposits made through these networks will not be credited and may result in asset loss. Users can still deposit and withdraw these tokens through other networks supported by Binance.
With a recent surge over the weekends, BNB price teases a double-bottom reversal within a broadening wedge. Adding fuel to the recovery, the PFAK license approval in Indonesia boosts the uptrend amid the looming Changpeng Zhao’s Release Date. Will this recovery sustain bullish momentum to hit $600?
BNB Price Rebounds with Tokocrypto’s Regulatory Win and CZ’s Imminent Release According to the Bureau of Prisons database, former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) is scheduled for release on September 29, 2024, from Long Beach RRM, a federal facility in San Pedro, California. CZ’s imminent release is expected to boost bullish sentiment surrounding the BNB price.
Bureau of Prisons Tokocrypto, a sister subsidiary of the Binance group, has successfully secured the Physical Crypto Asset Trader (PFAK) license in Indonesia. As the subsidiary acquired the license from the Commodity Futures Trading Regulatory Agency of Indonesia (Bappebti), a regulatory approval allows Tokocrypto to operate as a licensed physical crypto-asset trader. This marks a significant step in Indonesia’s commitment to regulatory compliance and investor protection.
With the PFAK license, Tokocrypto will continue to work on its long-term expansion plans and highlight its efforts to foster trust and transparency within Indonesia’s Web3 circle.
Over the years, Tokocrypto has seen remarkable growth in 2024, with its user base surpassing 4.5 million. Additionally, the platform’s average monthly trading volume has increased by 138%, demonstrating rising investor confidence and consistent expansion.
Binance coin Price Eyes $720 Breakout amid Wedge Pattern Formation The BNB shows a broadening wedge pattern in the daily chart pattern. The chart setup is characterized by two diverging trendlines, typically indicating an uncertain market sentiment.
Currently, the Binance coin price within the broadening wedge pattern is taking support at the $468 support. The dynamic support and $468 horizontal level bolster the formation of a bullish reversal pattern called a double bottom.
As BNB price attempts a bullish reversal, the MACD indicator shows the MACD and signal line on the verge of a bullish crossover. However, the 50-day and 200-day EMA is on the verge of a bearish crossover due to the previous bearish influence over the BNB price action.
Furthermore, a 4-day recovery run since the weekend has uplifted the BNB price by 7.8% to trade at $505. The upside potential increases as the Binance coin asserts dominance over the $500 psychological mark. Amid double bottom formation, the buyers could attempt a $600 neckline breakout, followed by an extended $721.
BNB/USDT -1d Chart Alternatively, a bearish reversal from the 200 days can result in a drop to $450, registering a 13% potential loss.
Tron has been making headlines after bouncing strongly from its recent low. On September 6, the token slipped to fresh cycle lows, raising concerns among traders. However, since then, Tron has staged an impressive comeback, climbing more than 18% and now testing local resistance levels. This rebound signals renewed strength in the network and growing investor confidence in its role within the broader crypto ecosystem.
Adding fuel to this recovery, Tron announced yesterday that PayPal USD (PYUSD) will now be available on the TRON network through Stargate Hydra as a permissionless token, PYUSD0, leveraging LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) Standard. This integration reflects the joint efforts of PayPal and LayerZero to expand PYUSD’s availability across multiple blockchains, ensuring the stablecoin can seamlessly reach markets and users through LayerZero’s powerful distribution network.
The addition of PYUSD0 to Tron’s ecosystem not only strengthens its relevance in the stablecoin market but also demonstrates the chain’s ability to attract high-profile integrations. With stablecoins becoming a central part of global digital finance, Tron’s alignment with PayPal USD marks a key milestone that could reinforce adoption, boost liquidity, and sustain momentum in the weeks ahead.
Tron Gains Momentum With PYUSD0 Expansion According to a recent announcement from LayerZero, the launch of PYUSD0 marks a significant step forward for PayPal USD and its reach across the crypto ecosystem. PYUSD0 extends PayPal’s stablecoin beyond its native deployments on Arbitrum, Ethereum, Solana, and Stellar, bringing it to Abstract, Aptos, Avalanche, Ink, Sei, Stable, and Tron, with even more chains expected to be added in the near future. Furthermore, existing permissionless versions on Berachain (BYUSD) and Flow (USDF) will upgrade to PYUSD0, creating a unified and standardized deployment of the stablecoin across multiple networks.
Importantly, no action will be required by end users. Whether someone holds PYUSD or PYUSD0, the result is one unified PayPal USD stablecoin—fully fungible and interoperable across blockchains. This guarantees seamless usability and ensures that holders can transact, transfer, and integrate PYUSD in applications without worrying about compatibility issues.
For Tron, this development is particularly meaningful. The chain has long been a hub for stablecoin activity, and the integration of PYUSD0 adds to its reputation as a key player in the digital finance ecosystem. By joining PayPal and LayerZero’s multi-chain strategy, Tron stands to benefit from increased liquidity, adoption, and developer activity within its ecosystem.
With PYUSD0, Tron not only secures a stronger position in cross-chain finance but also highlights its ability to attract mainstream integrations that resonate with both retail and institutional users. As the stablecoin market expands, this move could drive long-term adoption and strengthen Tron’s place in the next phase of crypto growth.
TRX Price Analysis Tron (TRX) is showing resilience after its sharp dip earlier this month, with price currently trading around $0.3475. The chart highlights a steady recovery, supported by the 50-day moving average (blue line) at $0.3023, which has acted as dynamic support throughout the recent uptrend. This suggests that despite volatility, buyers remain in control and are defending key levels.
TRX consolidates below resistance | Source: TRXUSDT chart on TradingView Since June, TRX has gained significant momentum, moving from the $0.25 range toward its current levels. The recent correction in September briefly tested the $0.32 area, but pthe rice quickly bounced, indicating renewed demand. Both the 100-day ($0.2738) and 200-day ($0.2055) moving averages are trending upward, reinforcing the broader bullish structure.
Resistance remains visible in the $0.36–$0.38 zone, which capped the last rally in late August. A breakout above this level would likely open the path toward $0.40 and beyond, signaling strength in line with the broader market’s optimism following the Fed’s recent policy shift.

US Treasury Secretary: AI boom may boost productivity and help curb inflation.
US Treasury Secretary Bessent told CNBC in an interview that he hopes the Federal Reserve will remain "open-minded" about the inflation pattern after the reversal of Iran-related energy price hikes. Bessent noted that the U.S. could enter an economic environment marked by high GDP growth without a corresponding rise in traditional inflation. He cited that in the 1990s, Alan Greenspan foresaw that office modernization and the internet could drive non-inflationary growth, and allowed the economy to keep expanding. Bessent believes the U.S. has a strong chance of seeing a similar scenario again. When asked whether the Fed still needs to worry about potential inflation and whether interest rate cuts are possible this year or next, Bessent declined to comment. However, he argued that it is necessary to stay open-minded about the price or inflation impacts from the Iran conflict, and monitor inflation performance after those effects subside. Bessent also said an open mind is needed, as the AI boom could boost productivity and deliver disinflationary effects, helping inflation return to the Fed’s target level. He added that he believes Kevin Warsh will choose the optimal path that meets both the Fed’s inflation and growth mandates. Bessent also noted that Warsh previously took a hawkish stance on inflation.

Within a few hours following a tweet by Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance, the Travala token, AVA, has risen by 300%. For the crypto travel agency, which lately revealed having reached $100 million in annual revenue, this increase marks a turning point. From $0.80 to $30.1, the price of AVA has exploded, courtesy of growing interest in the use of digital currency in the travel industry.
Binance Early Investment Binance had already invested in Travala before the pandemic, as disclosed in Zhao’s tweet on December 12. Both investor confidence and Travala’s position as a frontrunner in the space of crypto bookings were bolstered by this statement. At the time of writing, AVA was trading at approximately $2.51, showcasing its remarkable recovery since hitting an all-time low earlier this year.
AVA sustains a weekly rally. Source: Coingecko Travala Strategic Initiatives Travala has come up with a new way to handle bank reserves, which includes both AVA and Bitcoin (BTC). This change was made purposefully to strengthen its market position and urge more people to use cryptocurrencies to book travel. According to Juan Otero, CEO and co-founder of Travala, the plan shows their commitment to better customer experiences while keeping their finances strong.
We invested in this crypto travel platform pre-COVID, pre-crypto winter, and held on. BUILD! https://t.co/q40IZ4xfM3

Travala is changing the way people book travel as it accepts more than 100 cryptocurrencies as a form of payment. The platform allows users to reserve hotels, flights, and activities in 230 countries, offering a wide option for visitors looking to use digital currencies.
AVA is currently trading at $3.05. Chart: TradingView AVA And Cryptocurrency In Travel The rise in AVA’s price points to a more general trend towards digital currency integration in the travel sector than just temporary change. Platforms like Travala are likely to get rather popular as traditional travel companies become convinced of blockchain technology’s possibilities. The disclosure of their treasury reserves is expected to attract more investors looking for innovative ideas in the crypto field.
Analysts, meantime, envision a great future for AVA. Forecasts indicate that should present trends continue, the altcoin might see significant increase in 2024 and beyond. Through continuous innovations and cooperative efforts with reputable travel agencies, Travala is starting to take front stage in the evolving sector of cryptocurrency travel.
The significant increase in Travala’s AVA token after CZ’s endorsement exemplifies the influence of social media and prominent individuals on market dynamics. As Travala persists in innovating and broadening its services, it might potentially usher in a new epoch of travel driven by digital currency.

Abermals ist Solana unter die psychologisch wichtige Marke von 200 US Dollar gestürzt: In den letzten 7 Tagen ging der Preis um 16 Prozent zurück und bewegt sich nun bei 183 US Dollar. Zu Jahresanfang bewegte sich Solana bei 217 US Dollar, am 6. Januar übersprang Solana sogar die 220 US Dollar-Grenze. Auch wenn es in den letzten Tagen steil bergab ging, bleiben die langfristigen Prognosen aber positiv. Einige Experten sind überzeugt, Solana könnte noch in der ersten Jahreshälfte in Richtung 300 US Dollar gehen; werden von der SEC die ersten Solana Spot ETFs zugelassen, könnte das ebenfalls positiv für weitere Preisexplosionen sein.
Kein Grund zur Sorge: Der Preis könnte sich 2025 verdoppeln Analyst Ted Pillows ist überzeugt: Solana könnte in diesem Jahr in Richtung 400 US Dollar gehen – das behauptet er jedenfalls auf X. Auf lange Sicht würde es keine negative Markteinschätzung geben; es bestehe zudem eine sehr hohe On Chain-Aktivität im Netzwerk von Solana. Dabei hebt der Analyst auch vor, Solana würde bereits in unterschiedlichen Anwendungsbereichen zum Einsatz kommen – etwa im Bereich dezentraler Finanzanwendung (DeFi), künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und Meme Coins. Diese breite Nutzung zeigt ganz klar, dass das Netzwerk von Solana durchaus relevant bleibt.
2024 ging es für Solana steil nach oben: Im Januar 2024 lag der Preis bei rund 85 US Dollar, im März ging es dann über 200 US Dollar. Das Allzeithoch wurde am 23. November aufgestellt: 263 US Dollar. Im Ranking der Top Kryptowährungen laut Marktkapitalisierung befindet sich Solana auf Platz 6 mit knapp 90 Milliarden US Dollar.
Solana ist mit Sicherheit eine jener Kryptowährungen, die für 2025 empfohlen werden kann – vor allem, wenn man langfristig investieren möchte.
Zudem gibt es neben Solana noch Solaxy, eine neue 2 Layer-Lösung, die ebenfalls ein nicht zu unterschätzendes Potential hat.
Hier geht es zur Homepage von Solaxy
Sollte man in Solana und Solaxy investieren? Bei Solaxy handelt es sich um die erste für Solana geschaffene 2 Layer-Lösung, die innerhalb kürzester Zeit viel Aufmerksamkeit auf sich ziehen konnte. Im Zuge des aktuellen Presales wurden bereits über 9,5 Millionen US Dollar eingesammelt. Das Ziel, das bei Solaxy verfolgt wird? Durch eine weitere Skalierungsebene soll die Performance von Solana optimiert werden. Solana, bekannt für die sehr hohen Geschwindigkeiten und die relativ geringen Transaktionskosten, stößt nämlich bei einem immer größer werdenden Wachstum regelmäßig auf Belastungsgrenzen. Hier kommt eben Solaxy ins Spiel und bietet eine neue Lösung an.
Spielen bei Ethereum die Layer 2-Lösungen längst eine Schlüsselrolle, so steht Solana bei der Massenadoption vor vergleichbaren Problemen und Herausforderungen. Solaxy will einerseits an der Skalierbarkeit schrauben, andererseits auch die Netzwerkrobustheit verbessern. Das Projekt verfolgt den innovativen Ansatz, indem es Ethereum und Solana kombiniert. Durch diese parallele Speicherung der Transaktionsdaten auf Ethereum soll eine höhere Ausfallssicherheit erreicht werden.
Des Weiteren punktet man mit einer flexiblen Architektur, die erlaubt, dass Vermögenswerte problemlos zwischen den beiden Netzwerken übertragen werden können. Das heißt, Entwickler können auf neue Möglichkeiten zugreifen und Multi Chain-Anwendungen entwickeln, die dann auf den Stärken der beiden Blockchains basieren.
Hier geht es zum Presale von Solaxy
Der Plan: 138,046 Milliarden SOLX Token sollen ausgegeben werden. Um das Projekt auf lange Zeit zu sichern, werden 20 Prozent der Token als Reserve aufbewahrt. 15 Prozent der Token stehen für das Marketing zur Verfügung, damit das Wachstum und in weiterer Folge die Bekanntheit von Solaxy vorangetrieben werden kann.
25 Prozent der Token stehen für die frühen Unterstützer bereit. Also jene, die schon während dem Presale investieren. Nach dem Ende des Presales stehen 10 Prozent für die Listung auf einer Kryptobörse zur Verfügung.
Der größte Anteil der Token wird für die Weiterentwicklung verwendet – das sind 30 Prozent der Token.
Derzeit können all jene, die von Solaxy überzeugt sind, über die Homepage Token erwerben. Was man dafür benötigt? ETH, USDT oder BNB sowie eine kompatible Wallet, damit die Token dann übertragen werden können. Die Token können übrigens gestaked werden. Die Rendite geht bis zu 370 Prozent.

Crypto markets slowly starting to correct; VeChain and BNB going strong, Stellar, ADA and NEO dropping fastest. Market Wrap Yesterday’s minor movement did not last and crypto markets have fallen back a little as we end the week. The week-long rally looks like it is about to run out of steam as resistance is hit for the big cap cryptos. Total market capitalization has held though and is still above $134 billion for the time being.
Total market cap, 24 hours. Yet again Bitcoin hit resistance at $4,000 and failed to break through. The longer this happens the less likely there will be a break to the upside. BTC is trading down marginally on yesterday’s levels but it still holding around $3,970 at the moment, volume is slowly shrinking however.
Ethereum is holding $147 for now but it too has failed to break resistance at $150 so further losses could be on the cards. XRP is falling back and has lost 2% on the day dropping it to $0.322. This has widened the gap between it and ETH to $2.1 billion.
The top ten is all red during Friday’s Asian trading session aside from Binance Coin which is back up again while others are falling. BNB has made over 3% on the day taking it to $10.90. The biggest drop in the top ten is Stellar losing 3% but remaining above Tron for now.
The top twenty is awash with red at the time of writing. Cardano and NEO are dropping the most with 4% losses each. The rest are dumping between 1 and 3 percent as markets correct from three days of buying pressure.
QASH has surged back into the top one hundred with a fomo pump of 33% but today’s surprise mover is VeChain which has made 12% over the past 24 hours. Daily volume has almost quadrupled from $5.7 million to almost $20 million, over half of it traded on Binance. The recent blockchain integration with Amazon Web Services appears to be driving momentum;
