Litecoin & Wrapped BNB Holders Turn to Fezoo Exchange Presale for Safe Investment Haven Amid Bitcoin’s Halving

Bitcoin (BTC) is looking more like a safe-haven asset amid the financial wreckage caused by President Donald Trump’s tariff rollouts, according to the digital asset investment management firm NYDIG.

Greg Cipolaro, the global head of research at NYDIG, notes in a new analysis that Bitcoin demonstrated some decoupling with equities, US Treasuries and the dollar last week.

[adinserter block="1"]

“Geopolitical tensions, including tariffs, remain topical (despite Trump walking back many of them), but political pressure from Trump on Fed Chair Powell, and even speculation about his potential dismissal that added to market unease. In many ways, this is exactly the kind of environment where Bitcoin should shine. 

The decoupling from traditional risk assets is still very early and fragile, but for those watching crypto markets 24/7 (guilty), the shift is palpable. That said, we haven’t yet seen confirmation in the data. Our preferred correlation measure — a 90-day rolling window — currently shows rising correlations between bitcoin and US equities.”

Cipolaro argues that wavering faith in US policy choices has diminished the status of the US dollar and US Treasuries as safe-haven assets.

“What is interesting to us is that since ‘Liberation Day’ on April 2nd, a new picture of haven assets is starting to emerge, one which includes bitcoin. Bitcoin has acted less like a liquid levered version of levered US equity beta and more like the non-sovereign issued store of value that it is.”

Bitcoin is trading at $95,205 at time of writing. The top-ranked crypto asset by market cap is up more than 2% in the past 24 hours.

President Donald Trump refuted claims that he is financially benefiting from his Official Trump (CRYPTO: TRUMP) meme coin during an interview that aired Sunday.

“I haven't even looked," Trump said, implying he was unaware of the coin’s gains and the market valuation it has spawned since launch. "If I own stock in something, and I do a good job, and the stock market goes up, I guess I'm profiting."

Trump stated that he started endorsing cryptocurrency before his presidency. “I want crypto. I think crypto's important because if we don't do it, China's going to. And it's new, it's very popular, it's very hot.”

When Trump was asked if he would donate cryptocurrency earnings back to the government, he replied, “Should I contribute all of my real estate that I've owned for many years if it goes up a little bit because I'm president and doing a good job? I don't think so.”

Why It Matters: Trump’s denial adds another layer to the ongoing debate surrounding the ethical implications of his involvement in the cryptocurrency market.

The meme coin, 80% of whose supply is controlled by an affiliate of the Trump Organization, emphasizes that TRUMP is not a political initiative or investment opportunity but an expression of support for Trump's ideals.

The token bumped to an all-time high of $75.35 shortly after its launch but has since cratered more than 85%.

Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $11.12, up $0.12 in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

The American State of Missouri is set to implement a crypto tax rule that will positively impact Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and other top-risk assets. This unique move will also impact stocks as the State seeks to become one of the most friendly places for crypto firms to do business. Notably, it comes when many states consider holding Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

Crypto Tax: Missouri Sets New Pace for Bitcoin As reported by Fortune, it is worth noting that the State’s lawmakers have passed the Bill to enshrine this exemption. It has now been sent to Governor Mike Kehoe for final approval. This Bitcoin tax Bill secured only Republican support despite 10 Democrats voting “Present” at plenary this past Wednesday.

If signed into law, an estimated $430 million will be cut from State revenue as the law takes effect this year. The primary concern for Democrats is the shortfall in State funding, which will affect the budget. On the positive side, investors will benefit from the crypto tax allowance as they can hold their assets for much longer.

Many States in America are exploring ways to gain the upper hand in adopting digital currencies. Earlier this week, New Hampshire adopted BTC as a reserve asset after Governor Ayotte signed Bill HB 302 into law.

Under this provision, 5% of the State’s treasury funds can be invested in Bitcoin. Notably, any asset with a market capitalization above $500 billion may also benefit.

Crypto Gaining Traction In the US The digital currency ecosystem is gaining significant traction, fueling the favorable consideration of Bitcoin and crypto tax laws. While states are championing new Bills to drive Bitcoin and crypto adoption, the focus is on regulation in DC.

Despite announcing a strategic crypto reserve, much has not been said in this regard. What is visible to the industry is the pivot by national regulatory agencies toward the nascent asset class. Although the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has not given new guidance on Bitcoin and crypto tax, the OCC and Federal Reserve have withdrawn guidance restricting banks from engaging in digital currency activities. 

This makes the Missouri Bitcoin tax move a strategic one. While the exemption might benefit investors in the short term, it may also attract new crypto companies to the state. This will ultimately position the State to benefit in other key areas in the long term.

With this pioneering move, other States may follow Missouri in the quest to become a Bitcoin tax haven.

A major gold exchange-traded fund recorded its steepest capital exodus in nearly three years this May, casting doubts over investor appetite for traditional safe-haven assets—but some analysts suggest the bull cycle is far from over.

$2.1 Billion Outflows Rock SPDR Gold ETFThe SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD) saw outflows totaling $2.1 billion in May, marking its worst monthly withdrawal since July 2022.

The sell-off follows three straight months of heavy inflows, during which the fund attracted approximately $7.5 billion, reflecting a major reversal in sentiment.

The outflows come as gold prices moved sideways in May, set to close the month broadly unchanged after a robust four-month rally that pushed prices to a record high of $3,500 an ounce in mid-April.

US-China Truce Dampens Demand For GoldA key reason behind the fading appetite for gold appears to be the May 12 trade agreement between the U.S. and China, which saw both nations slash tariffs by 115 percentage points and resume negotiations.

That same day, gold plunged 2.7%, its sharpest daily decline since November 2024. With geopolitical fears cooling, some traders may be reallocating capital away from defensive assets like gold.

The S&P 500, as tracked by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY), is up 6.7% in May, eyeing its strongest month since November 2023, reflecting investor shift towards riskier assets.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) reached record highs at $112,000, and is up 16% for the month.

Long-Term Bull Run Still Intact?Despite May's weakness, gold remains one of 2025's standout assets. In the first five months of the year, gold has rallied 26%, outperforming all major asset classes.

For comparison, the S&P 500 is up just 0.6%, the U.S. dollar is down 8%, long-dated Treasuries – tracked by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:TLT) – have fallen 3%, and Bitcoin has gained 16%.

Gold's current bullish wave dates back to October 2022, from which prices have doubled. In the past 14 months, gold closed 11 months in positive territory—a clear indication of sustained bullish momentum.

Expert Views: Has Gold Peaked Or Is More to Come?"It's difficult to work out what gold may do next," said David Morrison, senior market analyst at Trade Nation. He noted that gold's MACD (moving average convergence divergence) momentum indicator has retreated from overbought levels, signaling potential upside.

"While this means that gold has the potential to rally from here…it could be that gold has already topped."

Still, structural demand trends are giving bulls hope.

Goldman Sachs Research expects prices to reach $3,700 per ounce by year-end, driven by safe-haven buying and central bank diversification.

"Long gold positions sharply improve risk-adjusted portfolio returns during periods where U.S. institutional credibility is challenged," Daan Struyven, commodity analyst at Goldman Sachs, said.

He highlighted rising public debt and geopolitical fragmentation as key long-term catalysts for higher gold prices. According to Struyven, if private investors shift even a small portion of assets from equities or Treasuries to gold, the price could exceed $4,000 by mid-2026.

Another persistent tailwind is central bank gold demand, which surged after Western sanctions froze Russia's reserves in 2022. Emerging markets, underweight in gold relative to developed peers, are expected to keep buying aggressively.

Struyven said this trend could account for a 21% base-case gold return by mid-2026.

Bitcoin has declined following Israel’s airstrikes on Iran, while gold has seen an increase, reigniting debate over Bitcoin’s safe haven status.

Specifically, Bitcoin experienced renewed volatility on Friday following a significant geopolitical escalation, as Israel launched airstrikes on Iran. The conflict, which led to sharp moves across global markets, triggered a pullback in major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin.

Bitcoin briefly dropped below $103,000 before recovering slightly to trade at $103,964, marking a 3.66% decline in 24 hours. The largest crypto had maintained levels above $107,000 since June 9 but failed to sustain gains amid growing geopolitical tensions.

Alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum also registered sharp losses, dropping as much as 7.6% at one point during the session.

Bitcoin Critics React After Gold Outperformed Meanwhile, traditional safe haven assets like gold and oil saw gains. Gold climbed to $3,421, an increase of $38.60 or 1.14%, while oil prices jumped by 5%, signaling investors’ shift toward perceived safer assets.

This divergence fueled renewed criticism of Bitcoin’s ability to serve as a hedge during macroeconomic uncertainty. Former Chief Market Strategist Gil Morales argued that the price reaction exposed Bitcoin’s nature as a speculative asset rather than an alternative store of value. He likened its behavior to that of a tech stock, stating that in a risk-off environment, Bitcoin declines like any other risk asset.

How Could Anyone Consider Bitcoin? The contrasting movements of Bitcoin and gold reignited already running debates around the narrative of Bitcoin as “digital gold.” Peter Schiff, Chief Economist and a long-time Bitcoin critic, pointed to market reactions as evidence that investors still turn to physical gold in times of crisis. 

Israel attacks Iran. Oil prices jump 5% while S&P futures fall 1.5%. In response, investors seeking a safe haven buy gold, sending its price up 0.85%. Meanwhile, investors dump Bitcoin, pushing its price down 2%. How can anyone consider Bitcoin to be a digital version of gold?

— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) June 13, 2025

Schiff noted that while the S&P 500 futures dropped by 1.5%, and oil surged, gold’s price rose as expected. In contrast, Bitcoin saw a sell-off. As a result, Schiff questioned:

“How could anyone consider Bitcoin as a digital version of gold?”

Some market participants countered this argument by highlighting logistical challenges in trading physical gold. They claimed that selling gold through platforms like JM Bullion can result in significant transaction costs, up to 10% when factoring in shipping and insurance.

Others criticized gold’s limited utility in the digital era, arguing that Bitcoin, despite recent declines, remains more adaptable and efficient. Schiff, however, disputed the cost claim, stating that selling gold should not incur such high expenses.

Further Bitcoin Backlash Despite Historical Bitcoin Outperformance As the market digested the broader implications of the Israel-Iran conflict, additional criticism surfaced regarding Bitcoin’s market behavior during crises.

Jacob King, CEO of WhaleWire, argued that Bitcoin historically performs poorly during geopolitical or economic shocks. 

War erupts in the Middle East between Iran and Israel — and Bitcoin crashes like dead weight.

The truth is, Bitcoin isn’t a safe haven. It thrives only in calm markets, propped up by Tether-fueled speculation and artificial demand.

Whenever real crises hit — whether it’s… pic.twitter.com/rx2XNgp8Hh

— Jacob King (@JacobKinge) June 13, 2025

He attributed this to speculative demand and emphasized that Bitcoin thrives only in stable markets.

Bitcoin Maxis Still Exist Despite the criticisms, comparisons between Bitcoin and gold have remained a central theme. A user cited historical price growth as a reason to consider Bitcoin superior, noting Bitcoin’s rise from $0.30 in 2011 to over $112,000 in 2025. In contrast, gold rose from $1,150 to a range between $2,838 and $3,375 over the same period.

Moments before this turmoil, Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital, predicted that Bitcoin could eventually reach $1 million, driven by rising institutional demand. Speaking on CNBC, he said Bitcoin is gaining status as a macro asset, now viewed alongside gold, silver, and major indexes like the S&P 500.

He pointed to reduced global confidence in the U.S. dollar and BlackRock’s involvement as key factors accelerating this shift.

The relative volatility of the world's leading cryptocurrency by market cap has been in a massive downtrend over the past several months. 

In fact, Bitcoin is becoming less volatile relative to the S&P 500, the major stock market index. 

Historically, Bitcoin was viewed as an extremely risky asset due to its high volatility compared to traditional markets.

Now, however, its volatility ratio has dwindled, and Bitcoin is behaving more like a traditional asset. 

Andre Dragosch, head of research at Bitwise, has noted that Bitcoin is now transitioning from a risky asset to a safe-haven asset.

— André Dragosch, PhD⚡ (@Andre_Dragosch) July 3, 2025 Over the past several weeks, Bitcoin has been mostly range-bound. Earlier today, the cryptocurrency spiked to an intraday high of $110,386, according to CoinGecko data. 

As reported by U.Today, banking giant JPMorgan recently stated that Bitcoin had failed as a safe-haven asset during the global trade turbulence. The banking behemoth noted that gold exchange-traded funds were attracting inflows during the crisis while Bitcoin ETFs suffered.

Some skeptics of the likes of Canadian billionaire Frank Giustra, argue that Bitcoin has never actually traded like gold. 

Bloomberg analyst Mike McGlone, who recently turned bearish on Bitcoin, argued last month that the $100,000 level could be the ceiling for Bitcoin due to prevailing risk-on sentiment. 

Fidelity's Jurrien Timmer previously noted that the leading cryptocurrency is capable of acting both as a safe haven and a risk-on asset, comparing it to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Gold futures surged to record highs on Friday amid tariffs on the precious metal. (Jingming Pan/Unsplash)Summary

U.S. gold futures reached $3,534 per ounce on Friday after the government confirmed tariffs on imported bars.Higher import costs are accelerating futures price gains and attracting speculative trading.The move could have knock-on effects for bitcoin and tokenized gold markets.Gold futures surged to a record high on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on imported gold bars, a rare move sparking both safe-haven buying and fresh concerns over supply disruptions in a market unaccustomed to such trade measures.

The most actively traded U.S. gold futures contract climbed as high as $3,534 per troy ounce after U.S. Customs and Border Protection confirmed that one-kilogram and 100-ounce bars would face reciprocal tariffs.

Tariffs make imported gold more expensive for U.S. buyers. That cost pressure typically pushes futures prices higher than spot prices, creating arbitrage opportunities for traders. The setup can fuel speculative buying, but it also sends a geopolitical signal — gold has historically been viewed as outside trade-war crossfire, more akin to a currency than a competitive product.

The move is notable because most U.S. gold imports come from Switzerland, which received one of the highest tariff rates under the policy. A sudden increase in costs for that supply could raise the risk of a short squeeze if deliveries slow.

“Trump's tariffs on 100-ounce and 1-kilo gold bars could wreak havoc on the COMEX," bitcoin critic and gold advocate Peter Schiff said in a post on X. "Prices could soar as shorts rush to cover to avoid having to pay 39% tariffs to import bars from Switzerland if longs take delivery. Even if they don't import, all such bars will trade at premiums."

The rally comes at a time when interest rates headed lower in the West and global trade tensions are already high, factors that tend to strengthen gold’s appeal as a store of value during economic uncertainty.

Historically, strong gold rallies have often coincided with gains in bitcoin, which some traders view as an alternative “safe-haven” asset. Tokenized gold products such as PAXG$3,965.15 and Tether Gold (XAUT) were both modestly higher over the past 24 hours, while bitcoin slipped about 1%.

Tariffs on gold could also make the case for bitcoin, which is not subject to customs duties and is sometimes described as “digital gold.” While the metal remains the dominant safe-haven asset, the latest price surge shows how policy changes can push investors to reassess their options.

Both spot gold prices and gold futures fell during U.S. afternoon trading on Thursday after a White House official told Bloomberg that the President would introduce a policy clarifying that imports of gold bars should not be subject to tariffs, calling earlier news "misinformation" regarding the tariffs.

Update (Aug 8, 18:23 UTC): Adds paragraph at the end about a White House official telling Bloomberg that the President will post an executive order to exempt gold bars from tariffs.

Investors woke up yesterday to some serious on-chain fireworks.

Whales snapped up a staggering $161K Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and $105K TOKEN6900 ($T6900) in one day.

That’s a 265K thunderclap landing in presales just as Ethereum popped above $4.5K for the first time since 2021.

It’s the sort of moment that makes wallets sweat, and watch out for runaway trains.

If you’ve been itching for some meme-coin mania or to ride the next wave of the best altcoins to 10x after Ethereum’a $4.5k rally, this might be your ticket.

Let’s zoom out, sniff the market, and spotlight three presales that just might light up your portfolio.

The Market Context Ethereum’s push beyond $4,5K has shifted the market’s tone.

Source: CoinMarketCap Traders are scanning for new crypto projects that could deliver 10x returns. The excitement is feeding into crypto presales, where lower entry prices are tempting buyers before tokens reach exchanges.

Whale purchases of $161K Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) and $105K TOKEN6900 ($T6900) in one day are adding fuel to the optimism, suggesting that large investors see strong upside potential.

This mix of price action, fresh capital, and growing retail interest is stirring a sense of FOMO across the market.

As more money flows into early-stage projects, the next wave of high performers could be forming right now – setting the stage for a busy and potentially lucrative season for altcoin hunters.

1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Bitcoin Layer-2 with Meme Energy Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) is the presale token behind the fastest Bitcoin Layer 2, running on the hyperefficient Solana Virtual Machine (SVM).

This setup delivers sub-second transactions, near-zero gas fees, and full compatibility with the Solana ecosystem. With this upgrade, Bitcoin gains the scalability needed for high-speed payments, meme coins, dApps, and DeFi.

The platform serves as an execution layer where assets can move across Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and other chains without delays.

Developers, traders, and community builders can launch projects and transact with Bitcoin at speeds that now make everyday $BTC use practical.

$HYPER powers every part of the network – from transactions and staking to governance and launch access.

Early participants can earn staking rewards of up to 119% APY and gain priority for airdrops and token launches.

You can buy $HYPER for $0.01267 in the presale, which has already raised over $9M, showing strong early interest.

Yesterday’s whale purchase of $161K worth of tokens adds weight to the growing momentum, especially alongside Ethereum’s climb past $4,5K.

Market attention is shifting to projects that combine real utility with cultural relevance, and Bitcoin Hyper is right at that intersection.

2. TOKEN6900 ($T6900) – Meme Coin That’s Taking no Prisoners TOKEN6900 ($T6900) has quickly become one of the loudest meme coins on the market, raising nearly $1.9M in its presale, with each token priced around $0.00695.

A significant 80% of the total supply is available before launch, capped at $5M, creating a fair entry point for the community.

Branded as the ‘standard for brain-rot finance,’ TOKEN6900 rejects the pretenses of traditional finance.

There’s no roadmap, no promises, and no fake utility – just pure meme-fueled liquidity.

Inspired by early 2000s internet culture, the project is themed as a parody of the S&P 500 and SPX6900, but with one extra token in supply.

Its appeal lies in its honesty. It doesn’t track markets, GDP, or oil reserves – it thrives on collective delusion as a feature, not a flaw. Investors aren’t here for fundamentals; they’re here for the cultural moment.

Yesterday’s whale buy of $105K shows that even large holders are willing to back a project built on community momentum. $T6900 is feeding the current wave of speculative energy head-on.

3. Arctic Pablo ($APC) – A Mythical Meme Coin with Real Mechanics Arctic Pablo ($APC) combines meme coin culture with an ongoing adventure narrative.

The project’s presale price is currently $0.0008, with over $3.37M raised so far. It has reached its 36th presale stage, known as Horizon Haven, and is aiming for a listing price of $0.008.

Each stage represents a new chapter in Pablo’s journey, and the tokenomics include a weekly burn of unsold tokens to increase scarcity. The total supply is capped at 221.2B tokens.

Early backers can access staking rewards of 66% APY during the first two months after launch, adding a yield component to the presale.

This approach blends community engagement with a structured rollout.

Recent whale activity in Bitcoin Hyper and TOKEN6900 shows there’s an appetite for early-stage projects with strong narratives and active presale performance.

Arctic Pablo is benefiting from the same market sentiment. With Ethereum trading above $4,5K and investor interest in meme coins growing, the project’s mix of storytelling, staking, and scarcity is attracting attention ahead of its exchange debut.

Riding the Whale Wave Whale buys in Bitcoin Hyper and TOKEN6900 show where big money is moving as Ethereum’s rally pushes sentiment higher.

Arctic Pablo is also drawing attention, fueled by its narrative-driven presale and strong community momentum.

Together, these projects cover the spectrum from high-speed Layer-2 tech to pure meme energy and story-backed scarcity. In a market charged with FOMO, options like these are set to go off.

Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov provides an insight into how Bitcoin could reach a jaw-dropping target of at least $10 million per coin. 

Recently, the Chainlink founder sat down with Austin Arnold of Altcoin Daily to discuss Bitcoin and its potential path to a $10 million target. 

Bitcoin as a Safe-Haven Asset  During the 10-minute interview, Nazarov characterized Bitcoin as a digital gold that benefits from global instability, especially as people seek safe-haven assets. 

He suggested that while an asset like Bitcoin is seen as a safe-haven asset, it makes sense if this trend is viewed through the lens of diversification. For Nazarov, diversification is the major defining word in the last 70 years of asset management. 

The principle of diversification encourages spreading investments across different asset classes to reduce risk while providing a hedge against these instabilities. 

He opined that if Bitcoin and gold are safe-haven assets amid global instability, then investors might decide to allocate 5% of their portfolios in gold and 2.5% in Bitcoin. This modest allocation, according to him, could drive Bitcoin’s price up significantly. 

Bitcoin’s Path to $10M  When asked how high Bitcoin could rise and whether it might reach 1% of the global money supply, he suggested that he would measure adoption by the level of capital large investors commit to the asset, rather than its share of global money. 

He noted that if Bitcoin is seen as a safe-haven asset and global instability rises, then global capital allocation into BTC could spike to a few percent. He suggested that the shift from traditional financial instruments to Bitcoin could send BTC’s valuation to a multi-trillion-dollar range. 

Hypothetically speaking, he said, if sovereign wealth funds and pension funds ignore equity and commodities and allocate 50% of their capital into Bitcoin, its price could rise to tens of millions of dollars, or at least $10 million. 

However, he does not believe such an allocation will ever happen because it violates the principle of diversification. 

Other Bitcoin to $10M Projections  Despite being skeptical about sovereign wealth managers allocating 50% of their portfolios to Bitcoin, the $10 million projection is not new to BTC enthusiasts. 

Earlier this year, JAN3 CEO Samson Mow suggested that Bitcoin could be trading around the $10 million mark if people understood its prospects. 

In May, Equity Management Associates founder Lawrence Lepard, while calling Bitcoin a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, projected that Bitcoin would clinch the $10 million target someday. For context, the $10 million target represents a spike of 8,607% from Bitcoin’s current price of $114,846. 

Tokenization Will Be a Massive Success for Crypto  Meanwhile, Nazarov also commented on the rise of tokenization and its potential market impact. He referred to tokenization as a larger trend, given the hundreds of trillions of dollars that currently exist off-chain. 

He expects tokenization to have a positive impact on the crypto industry. According to him, moving 5-10% of that value on-chain would be a massive success for crypto.
