SO WHAT: If you purchased Lantheus securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Lantheus class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44657 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period provided overwhelmingly positive statements to investors while, at the same time, disseminating materially false and misleading statements and/or concealing material adverse facts concerning the true state of Pylarify’s competitive position; notably, that Lantheus was not equipped to properly assess the pricing and competitive dynamics for Pylarify; Lantheus failed to properly disclose that its early 2025 price increase, issued despite price erosion the year prior, created an opportunity for competitive pricing to flourish, risking Pylarify’s price point, revenue, and overall growth potential. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

James Wynn's new trade comes just days after being liquidated on the same token, as he believes ASTER's airdrop will be one of the biggest in crypto history. Sep 27, 2025, 6:55 p.m.

James Wynn, the pseudonymous trader behind a billion-dollar BTC$109,513.45 bet earlier this year, is back. This time, Wynn is making a leveraged play on ASTER just days after being liquidated on the same token.

Wynn has opened a new 3x leveraged long on ASTER, the native token of the emerging Aster perpetuals exchange, worth over $16,000, entering at $1.97 with a liquidation level around $1.57.The move was first spotted by Onchain Lens.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

While the dollar amount seems small compared to Wynn's previous positions, the trade is likely to be a hedge on a different position on Aster itself. "I’m farming the $ASTER airdrop,” the trader wrote on X. “I believe it will be one of the biggest [in] crypto history.”

The move is Wynn’s latest high-risk bet on Hyperliquid, an onchain derivatives platform where he previously took out a $1.2 billion long on bitcoin using 40x leverage.

That position closed with a $17.5 million loss, before he flipped into a billion-dollar short. At one point, he had his entire $50 million wallet on the line.

That wild streak ended with Wynn saying he was walking away “a wynner” after netting $25 million in profit.

Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The crypto market faced a sharp downturn this week, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Dogecoin (DOGE) experiencing significant sell pressure. Although red candles continue to dominate the charts, a crypto analyst has pointed out key factors suggesting that this unexpected beatdown could be laying the groundwork for a rebound as the final quarter of the year approaches. 

Why Bitcoin, Ethereum, And Dogecoin Are Dropping Hard
According to market analyst Ash Crypto, the current market decline is being driven by a series of macroeconomic and technical factors. In an X social media post on Thursday, he explained that the first and most immediate factor behind the pressure is the looming options expiry event. With $23 billion in Bitcoin and Ethereum options set to expire, volatility has intensified. 

Ash Crypto stressed that whales, who often steer the market toward the “max pain” price, are now actively pushing Bitcoin near $110,000, ETH closer to $3,700, and DOGE down to $0.23. The analyst highlights that this growing pressure has sparked panic selling among retail investors in the crypto market. 

Additionally, the potential threat from the United States government has further rattled the markets. With a 67% probability of occurring by October 1, 2025, Ash Crypto reports that uncertainty has significantly impacted investor sentiment. Historically, government shutdowns have triggered corrections in the equity and crypto markets, and the current environment is showing similar signs. 

Source: Chart from Ash Crypto on X
Meanwhile, a surprisingly robust US GDP growth data has created another layer of bearish short-term pressure. According to Ash Crypto, Q2 GDP was revised to 3.8% from the initially expected 3.3%, signaling strong economic resilience. While positive in the long run, the analyst notes that robust economic indicators tend to reduce the likelihood of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve (FED). For risk assets like crypto, this has translated into an immediate selloff as traders reposition in anticipation of tighter monetary conditions. 

Why This Dip Could Be Setting The Stage For A Bounce
Amidst the broader market turmoil, another critical factor has contributed to the recent decline in crypto. Ash Crypto notes that retail investors, drawn by the excitement around perpetual DEXs, have piled into high-leverage positions on altcoins, amplifying potential volatility. He stated that at one point, altcoin Open Interest nearly doubled that of Bitcoin. When market sentiment shifted, massive liquidations swept across exchanges, intensifying the sell-off and accelerating the market’s decline. 

While disruptive in the short-term, the analyst suggests that this process of unwinding leveraged positions often sets the stage for a significant bounce and more sustainable market rallies. He highlighted that by flushing out overextended positions, whales and institutional players create an environment that favours accumulation. 

Ash Crypto further highlighted that this cycle appears to be a deliberate play by whales to trigger panic selling before the fourth-quarter rally. He disclosed that September began on a bullish note, convincing traders that prices would only continue upward, only for sharp corrections to reset the market.

NYDIG argued that mNAV fails to account for operating businesses and uses assumed shares outstanding, which can be inaccurate. Sep 27, 2025, 7:00 p.m.

Strive Asset Management (ASST) has acquired Semler Scientific (SMLR) in an all-stock deal. While historic, the move also drew attention to what may be a problem for investors valuing bitcoin treasury firms.

The acquisition was the first-ever merger between two Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs) holding bitcoin, giving the combined company control of more than 10,900 BTC and increases net asset value (NAV) per share, which DAT investors view as a measure of “yield.”

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

In a note this week commenting on the acquisition, Greg Cipolaro, Global Head of Research at NYDIG, argued that the commonly used “mNAV” metric, defined as market cap divided by crypto held, should be removed from industry reporting altogether.

“At best, it’s misleading; at worst, it’s disingenuous,” the firm claimed in the note.

NYDIG pointed out that it fails to account for operating businesses or other assets that a DAT may own. Most major bitcoin treasury firms do, indeed, operate businesses that add value.

Second, NYDIG wrote, mNAV often uses “assumed shares outstanding,” which could include convertible debt that hasn’t met conversion conditions.

“Convert holders would demand cash, not shares, in exchange for their debt. This is a much more onerous liability for a DAT than simply issuing shares,” the firm added. “Because convertible debt is essentially volatility harvesting (converts are debt + call options), the DAT is incentivized to maximize its equity volatility.”

Currently, publicly traded bitcoin treasury firms hold over 1 million BTC, and many are now trading below their mNAV, which could suggest more acquisitions are coming in the near future.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is preparing for a key week in October as six applications for spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) move toward decision deadlines. The rulings, expected between October 18 and October 25, could determine whether XRP becomes the third cryptocurrency after Bitcoin and Ethereum to gain access to U.S.-listed spot ETFs. 

SEC to Review Multiple XRP ETF Applications Under New Listing Standards
According to a X post by XRP_Cro, the SEC’s schedule places several high-profile applications into focus. Grayscale’s XRP ETF is set for review on October 18. The 21Shares Core XRP Trust ETF will follow on October 19. The agency will then consider Bitwise’s XRP ETF on October 22, with rulings on Canary Capital’s and CoinShares’ proposals expected October 23. WisdomTree’s XRP ETF filing completes the week on October 24.

🔥 XRP ETFs could bring huge institutional inflows and push $XRP to new ATH $8-$10!

These submissions arrive during changes in the regulatory dynamics. In recent weeks, the SEC approved generic listing standards for crypto ETFs. This change aims to accelerate approvals beyond the case-by-case framework applied to earlier filings.

The first U.S.-listed ETF tied directly to spot XRP, the REX-Osprey XRP ETF (ticker: XRPR), was launched in late September. The product quickly expanded with the addition of options trading, indicating that XRP-related investment vehicles are already entering regulated markets.

In parallel, the Hashdex Index ETF gained clearance under the SEC’s updated listing standards. Market participants note that this framework could allow the inclusion of additional crypto assets such as XRP.

Derivatives, ETFs, and a Bank Charter Could Reshape XRP Momentum in October
Momentum behind XRP derivatives has also intensified. Data from CME Group show that XRP futures open interest recently surpassed $1 billion. This marks the fastest growth rate among crypto derivatives contracts tracked by the exchange.

Also, CME confirmed it will announce the launch options on XRP and Micro XRP futures on October 13. The move is expected to expand institutional access to the asset class.

Industry observers point to these developments as evidence of rising institutional appetite for regulated XRP products. The timing of new derivatives alongside pending ETF decisions suggests that October could mark a turning point in the market structure for XRP.

Alongside the ETF process, Ripple’s application for a national bank charter remains under review by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). A decision is also anticipated in October, adding another layer of regulatory value to the month.

As the world shifts from a U.S.-dominated unipolar order to a multipolar landscape led by BRICS nations, the U.S. dollar faces unprecedented pressure from declining bond demand and rising debt costs. The Genius Act, passed in July 2025, signals a bold U.S. strategy to counter this by legalizing Treasury-backed stablecoins, unlocking billions in foreign demand for U.S. bonds.

The blockchain hosting these stablecoins will shape the global economy for decades. Bitcoin, with its unmatched decentralization, Lightning Network privacy, and robust security, emerges as the superior choice to power this digital dollar revolution, ensuring low switching costs when fiat inevitably fades. This essay explores why the dollar must and will become digitized via blockchains and why Bitcoin must become its rails for the U.S. economy to have a soft landing from the highs of being a global empire. 

End of the Unipolar World You might have heard that the world is transitioning from a unipolar world order — where the United States was the only superpower and could make or break markets and dominate conflicts across the globe — to a multipolar world, where a union of Eastern-allied countries can organize despite U.S. foreign policy. This eastern alliance is called BRICS and is made up of major countries like Brazil, Russia, China and India. The inevitable consequence of the rise of BRICS is the restructuring of geopolitics, posing a challenge to the hegemony of the U.S. dollar system.

There are many apparently isolated data points that signal this restructuring of the world order. Take, for example, the United States’ military alliance with a country like Saudi Arabia. The U.S. is no longer defending the petrodollar agreement, which saw Saudi oil sold only for dollars in exchange for military defense of the region. The petrodollar strategy was a major source of demand for the dollar and was considered pivotal to the strength of the U.S. economy since the ’70s, but has effectively ended in recent years — at least since the start of the Ukraine war, when Saudi Arabia began accepting currencies other than the dollar for oil-related trades.

The Weakening of the U.S. Bond Market Another critical data point in the geopolitical change of the world order is the weakening of the U.S. bond market. Doubts about the long-term creditworthiness of the U.S. government are growing. Some have concerns about the country’s internal political instability, while others are skeptical that the current government structure can adapt to the rapidly changing, high-tech world and the rise of BRICS.

Elon Musk, reportedly the richest man in the world and arguably the most effective CEO in history, capable of running multiple seemingly impossible companies simultaneously — such as SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Company and X.com — is one of these skeptics. Musk recently spent months with the Trump administration figuring out how to restructure the federal government and the country’s financial position via DOGE, the Department Of Government Efficiency, before an abrupt exit from politics in May.

Musk recently shocked the internet in an All-In Summit appearance where he commented on his experience on the matter, saying, “I haven’t been to DC since May. The government is basically unfixable. I applaud David (Sacks’) noble efforts… but at the end of the day, if you look at our national debt.. .if AI and robots don’t solve our national debt, we’re toast.”

— Autism Capital 🧩 (@AutismCapital) September 10, 2025 If Elon Musk can’t get the U.S. government to pivot away from financial doom, who can?

Doubts of this sort are reflected in the low demand for long-term U.S. bonds, as evidenced by the need for higher interest rates to attract investors. Today, the US30Y is at 4.75%, a 17-year high. Demand in long-dated auctions of U.S. bonds, like the US30Y, has also trended downward with “disappointing” demand in 2025, according to Reuters.

The weakening demand for long-dated U.S. bonds has significant consequences for the U.S. economy. The U.S. Treasury has to offer higher interest rates to entice investors, in turn increasing the payments the U.S. government has to make on the interest of the national debt. Today, the U.S. interest payments are close to one trillion dollars a year, more than the whole military budget of the country.

If the United States fails to find enough buyers for its future debt, it may struggle to pay its immediate bills, having to rely instead on the Fed to buy that debt, which expands its balance sheet and the money supply. The effects, though complex, would likely be inflationary on the dollar, further harming the U.S. economy.

How Sanctions Wounded the Bond Market Further weakening the U.S. bond market, in 2022, the United States manipulated the U.S.-controlled bond market rails against Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine. As the Russians invaded, the U.S. froze Russian treasury reserves held overseas, which were intended in part to pay its national debt to Western investors. In what looks like an attempt to force Russia into a default, the U.S. also reportedly began blocking all attempts made by Russia to pay off its own debt to foreign bondholders.

A U.S. Treasury spokeswoman confirmed at the time that certain payments were no longer being allowed.

“Today is the deadline for Russia to make another debt payment,” the spokeswoman said.

“Beginning today, the U.S. Treasury will not permit any dollar debt payments to be made from Russian government accounts at U.S. financial institutions. Russia must choose between draining remaining valuable dollar reserves or new revenue coming in, or default.”

The U.S. effectively weaponized the bond market against Russia through a novel use of its foreign policy sanctions regime. But sanctions are a double-edged sword: Since then, foreign demand for U.S. bonds has weakened as nations not aligned with U.S. foreign policy looked to diversify their risk. China has led this trend away from U.S. bonds, its holdings peaked in 2013 at over 1.25 trillion dollars and has accelerated downward since the beginning of the Ukraine war, sitting today at close to 750 billion. 

While this event demonstrated the devastating effectiveness of sanctions, it also deeply wounded confidence in the bond market. Not only was Russia blocked from paying off its debts under the Biden administration sanctions, also harming investors as collateral damage, but the freezing of its foreign treasury reserves showed the world that if you, as a sovereign nation, go against U.S. foreign policy, all bets are off — and that includes the bond market.

Following the arguable overreach of sanctions from the previous administration, the Trump admin has backed off from sanctions as a strategy, since they harm the U.S. financial sector, and pivoted to a tariff-based approach to foreign policy. These tariffs so far have had mixed results. While the Trump administration boasts record revenue and infrastructure investments by the private sector in the country, Eastern nations have accelerated their collaboration through the BRICS alliance.

The recent SCO summit in Tianjin, China, brought together world leaders, including Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, among others. The most notable news to come out of the SCO summit was a joint pledge by India and China to be “partners not rivals,” a further step toward the multipolar world order.

The Stablecoin Playbook While China has divested from U.S. bonds in the past decade, a new buyer has emerged, quickly entering the top echelons of power. Tether, a financial technology company born in the early days of Bitcoin and originally built on top of its network through the Mastercoin layer-two protocol, today owns $171 billion worth of U.S. bonds, close to a quarter of the amount China owns and more than most other countries.

Tether is the issuer of the most popular stablecoin, USDT, with a market cap of 171 billion dollars in value in circulation, equivalent to its reported bond holdings. The company reported $1 billion in profits for Q1 of 2025, with a simple yet brilliant business model: buy short-dated U.S. bonds, emit USDT tokens backed 1-for-1, and pocket the coupon interest payments from the U.S. government. With 100 employees at the beginning of the year, Tether is said to be one of the most profitable companies per employee in the world.

Circle, the issuer of USDC and the second-most popular stablecoin in the market, also holds close to $50 billion in short-dated treasuries. Stablecoins are used all over the world, particularly in Latin America and developing nations, as an alternative to local fiat currencies, which suffer far deeper inflation than the dollar and are often hindered by capital controls.

The volume processed by stablecoins today is beyond a niche, nerd financial toy; it is in the trillions of dollars. A 2025 Chainalysis report states, “Between June 2024 and June 2025, USDT processed over $1 trillion per month, peaking at $1.14T in January 2025. USDC, meanwhile, ranged from $1.24T to $3.29T monthly. These volumes highlight the continued centrality of Tether and USDC in crypto market infrastructure, especially for cross-border payments and institutional activity.”

Latin America, for example, accounted for 9.1% of total crypto value received between 2023 and 2024, with year-to-year usage growth rates of 40-100%, of which over 50% were stablecoins, according to a 2024 Latin America-focused report by Chainalysis, demonstrating the strong demand for alternative currencies in the developing world.

The U.S. needs new demand for its bonds, and that demand exists in the form of demand for the dollar, given that most people throughout the world are locked into fiat currencies that are far inferior to those of the United States. If the world transitions to a geopolitical structure that forces the dollar to compete on even terms with all other fiat currencies, it nevertheless may continue to be the best among them. The United States, for all its faults, remains a superpower, with incredible wealth, human capital and economic potential, particularly when compared to many smaller countries and their questionable pesos.

Latin America has demonstrated a deep hunger for the dollar, but there’s a supply problem as local nations resist legacy banking dollar rails. Getting access to dollar-denominated accounts in many countries outside of the United States is not easy. Local banks are often tightly regulated and serve at the behest of local governments, who also have an interest in defending their peso. The U.S. is not the only government that understands the value of printing money and defending its value, after all.

Stablecoins solve both problems; they create demand for U.S. bonds and can deliver dollar-denominated value to everyone, anywhere in the world, despite the interests of their local governments.

Stablecoins, leveraging the censorship-resistant qualities of their underlying blockchains, can provide individuals plausible deniability and privacy from their local state, a feature that local banks cannot provide. As a result, the U.S., through the promotion of stablecoins, can access foreign markets it has yet to reach, expanding its demand and user base, while also exporting dollar inflation to nations that do not have a direct influence on American politics — a long tradition in the history of the USD. From a strategic perspective, this sounds ideal for the United States, and it is a simple extension of how the USD has worked for decades, just on top of new financial technology.

The U.S. government understands this opportunity. According to Chainalysis, “The stablecoin regulatory landscape has evolved significantly over the past 12 months. While the GENIUS Act in the U.S. (which legalized U.S. bond-backed stablecoins) has not yet taken effect, its passage has driven strong institutional interest.”

Why Stablecoins Should Ride On Top of Bitcoin The best way to make sure Bitcoin benefits from the elevation of the developing world out of mediocre fiat currencies is to make sure the dollar uses Bitcoin as its rails. Every dollar stablecoin wallet should be a Bitcoin wallet as well.

Critics of the Bitcoin dollar strategy will say that it goes against Bitcoin’s libertarian roots, that Bitcoin was supposed to replace the dollar — not enhance it or bring it into the 21st century. However, this concern is largely U.S.-centric. It is easy to condemn the dollar when you get paid in dollars and your bank accounts are denominated in USD. It is easy to critique a 2-8% dollar inflation rate (depending on how you measure it) when that’s your local currency. In too many countries outside of the U.S., 2-8% yearly inflation would be a blessing.

A large portion of the population of the world suffers from fiat currencies far worse than the dollar, with inflation rates in the low-to-high double digits and even triple digits, which is why stablecoins have already gained massive adoption throughout the third world. The developing world needs to get off the sinking ship first. The hope is that once they are on a stable boat, they might start looking around for ways to upgrade to the Bitcoin yacht.

Unfortunately, most stablecoins are not on top of Bitcoin today, despite having started on Bitcoin, a technical reality that is a big source of friction and risk for users. The majority of the stablecoin volume today runs on the Tron blockchain, which is a centralized network run on a handful of servers by Justin Sun, a Chinese national who can be easily targeted by foreign states that dislike the spread of dollar stablecoins inside their borders.

Most of the blockchains on top of which stablecoins move today are also totally transparent. Public addresses, which serve as account numbers for their users, are publicly trackable, often linked by local exchanges to the user’s personal data, and easily accessible by local governments. That’s a lever foreign nations can use to push back on the spread of dollar-denominated stablecoins.

Bitcoin does not have these infrastructure risks. Unlike Ethereum, Tron, Solana, etc., Bitcoin is highly decentralized, with tens of thousands of copies of itself throughout the world and a robust peer-to-peer network used to transmit transactions in a way that can easily route around any bottlenecks or choke points. Its proof-of-work layer provides a separation of powers that other proof-of-stake blockchains do not have. Michael Saylor, for example, despite his massive stack of bitcoins, 3% of the total supply, does not have a direct vote on the consensus politics of the network. The same can not be said for Vitalik, and the proof-of-stake consensus politics of Ethereum, or Justin Sun and Tron.

Furthermore, the Lightning Network on top of Bitcoin unlocks instant transaction settlement, which benefits from Bitcoin’s underlying blockchain security. While also providing users significant privacy, as all Lightning Network transactions are off-chain by design, and do not leave an eternal footprint on its public blockchain. This fundamental difference in approach to payments grants users privacy from those they send money to, as well as from third-party observers who do not run Lightning wallets or high-liquidity Lightning nodes. This reduces the number of threat actors that can invade user privacy from anyone who feels like looking at the blockchain, to a handful of highly competent entrepreneurs and technology firms, at worst.

Users can also run their own Lightning nodes locally and choose how they connect to the network, and plenty of people do, taking their privacy and security into their own hands. None of these qualities can be seen in the blockchains that most people use for stablecoins today.

Compliance policies and even sanctions could still be applied to dollar stablecoins, their governance anchored to Washington, with the same analytics and smart-contract-based approaches used today to stop criminal use of stablecoins. There’s no fundamental way to decentralize something like the dollar; after all, it is centralized by design. However, if most of the stablecoin value were to be transferred over the Lightning Network instead, user privacy could also be maintained, protecting users in developing nations from organized crime and even their local governments.

Ultimately, what users care about is transaction fees — the cost of moving their money around — which is why Tron has dominated the market so far. However, with USDT coming online on top of the Lightning Network, that could soon change. In the Bitcoin dollar world order, the Bitcoin network would become the medium of exchange of the dollar, while the dollar would remain, for the foreseeable future, as the unit of account.

Can Bitcoin Survive This? Critics of this strategy are also concerned about the impact the Bitcoin dollar strategy may have on Bitcoin itself. They wonder if putting the heavy incentives of the dollar on top of Bitcoin can distort its underlying structure. The most obvious way in which a superpower like the U.S. government might want to manipulate Bitcoin is to bend it into compliance with sanctions regimes, something they could theoretically do at the proof-of-work layer.

However, as discussed earlier, the sanctions regime has arguably already peaked, giving way to the era of tariffs, which seek to control the flow of goods rather than the flow of funds. This post-Trump, post-Ukraine war shift in U.S. foreign policy strategy actually relieves pressure off Bitcoin.

Furthermore, as major Western corporations, such as BlackRock, and even the U.S. government, continue to adopt bitcoin as long-term investments, or, in the words of President Donald J. Trump, a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve,” they too start to align with the future success and survival of the Bitcoin network. Attacking Bitcoin’s censorship resistance qualities would not only undermine their investment in the asset but would also weaken the network’s ability to deliver stablecoins to the developing world. 

The most obvious compromise that Bitcoin would have to make in the Bitcoin dollar world order is to give up the unit of account dimension of money. This is bad news for many Bitcoiners, and rightfully so. Unit of account is the mecca of hyperbitcoinization, and many of its users live in that world today, as they calculate their economic decisions based on the ultimate impact on the amount of sats they hold. However, nothing can really take that away from those who understand Bitcoin as the most sound money to have ever existed. In fact, the conviction of Bitcoin as a store of value and a medium of exchange will be reinforced with this Bitcoin dollar strategy.

Sadly, after 16 years of attempts to make bitcoin a unit of account as ubiquitous as the dollar, some are recognizing that in the medium term, the dollar and stablecoins will likely fulfill that use case. Bitcoin payments will never go away, and bitcoiner-led companies will continue to rise and should continue to accept bitcoin as payment to build up their bitcoin treasuries — but stablecoins and dollar-denominated value will likely dominate crypto trade in the coming decades. 

Nothing Stops This Train As the world continues to adapt to the rising powers in the east and the emergence of the multipolar world order, the United States will likely have to make difficult and pivotal decisions to avoid a long-lasting financial crisis. The country could, in theory, lower its spending, pivot, and restructure in order to become more efficient and competitive in the 21st century. And the Trump administration is certainly trying to do just that, as seen by the tariff regime and other related efforts, which attempt to bring back manufacturing of essential industries into the United States and bolster its local talent. However, in the now legendary words of Lyn Alden, nothing stops this train.

While there are a few miracles that perhaps could solve the United States’ financial woes, such as the science-fiction-like automation of labor and intelligence, and even the Bitcoin dollar strategy, ultimately, even putting the dollar on the blockchain won’t change its fate: to become a collectible for history buffs, a rediscovered token of an ancient empire fit for a museum.

The dollar’s centralized design and dependence on American politics ultimately doom the dollar as a currency, but if we are realistic, its demise might not be seen for another 10, 50 or even 100 years. When the time does come, if history repeats, Bitcoin should be there as the rails, ready to pick up the pieces and fulfill the prophecy of hyperbitcoinization.

Bitcoin Trails Equities, Metals, and USD in Q3. Here Is a Key Level to Watch for Next MoveOptions expiry and key technical levels weigh on BTC as equities and bitcoin trends diverge. Sep 27, 2025, 6:00 p.m.

BTC$109.494,68 just ended what is historically the largest cryptocurrency's third-worst week of the year with a greater-than-average drop of 5%. Week 38 effectively closes out the third quarter, which is up about 1%, as well as September, which has managed to hold flat.

While the figures are consistent with the period's historical reputation as one of the weakest seasons of the year, a few catalysts might have contributed to the underperformance.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

On Friday, more than $17 billion in options expired, with the max pain price — the strike price at which option holders lose the most money and options writers profit the most — sitting at $110,000, which acted as a gravitational center for the spot price.

A key technical factor remains the short-term holder cost basis at $110,775, which reflects the average on-chain acquisition price for coins that moved in the past six months.

Bitcoin tested this level in August, and in bull markets, it typically moves toward this line multiple times. This year, it broke significantly below that level only once: during the tariff tantrum in April, when it dropped to as low as $74,500.

Cost Basis (Glassnode)

Zooming out, it is important to assess whether bitcoin remains in an uptrend characterized by higher highs and higher lows to get an idea of whether the rally is sustainable.

Analyst Caleb Franzen highlights that bitcoin has slipped below its 100-day exponential moving average (EMA), with the 200-day EMA sitting at $106,186. The previous significant low was around $107,252 on Sept. 1, and for the broader trend to remain intact, bitcoin will need to hold above that level.,

Macro BackdropThe U.S. economy grew at an annualized pace of 3.8% in the second quarter, well above the 3.3% estimate and the strongest performance since the second quarter of 2023. Initial jobless claims dropped by 14,000 to 218,000, coming in below expectations and marking the lowest level since mid-July. While spending data came in line with the market's expectation. The US core PCE price index, the Federal Reserve's preferred measure of underlying inflation that excludes food and energy, rose 0.2% in August 2025 from the prior month.

The yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries bounced off the 4% support, and is now trading near 4.2%. The dollar index (DXY) continues to hover around long-term support at 98. Meanwhile, metals are leading the action, with silver at around $45 approaching an all-time high at levels last seen in 1980 and 2011. U.S. equities, in the meantime, are just shy of their records.

Bitcoin remains the outlier at more than 10% below its peak.

DXY (TradingView)

Bitcoin-Exposed EquitiesBitcoin treasury companies continue to face severe multiple-to-net-asset-value (mNAV) compression. Strategy (MSTR) is barely positive year-to-date. At one point, it dipped below $300, a negative return for 2025.

The ratio between Strategy and BlackRock iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) stands at 4.8, the lowest since October 2024, which shows just how much the largest bitcoin treasury company has underperformed bitcoin over the past 12 months.

MSTR/IBIT Ratio (TradingView)

Strategy’s enterprise mNAV is currently 1.44 (as of Friday). Enterprise value here accounts for all basic shares outstanding, total notional debt and total notional value of perpetual preferred stock minus the company’s cash balance.

The silver lining for MSTR is that three of the four perpetual preferred stocks, STRK, STRC and STRF, are all sporting positive lifetime returns as Executive Chairman Michael Saylor looks to buy more BTC through these vehicles.

A growing issue for MSTR is the lack of volatility in bitcoin. The cryptocurrency's Implied volatility — a measure of the market’s expectation of future price fluctuations — has dropped below 40, the lowest in years.

This matters because Saylor has often framed MSTR as a volatility play on bitcoin. For comparison, MSTR’s implied volatility is at 68. Its annualized standard deviation of daily log returns over the past year was 89%, while over the last 30 days it has fallen to 49%.

For equities, higher volatility often attracts speculators, generates trading opportunities and draws investor attention, so the decline is likely acting as a headwind.

Meantime, the fifth-largest bitcoin treasury company, Metaplanet (3350), holds 25,555 BTC and still has roughly $500 million left to deploy from its international offering. Despite this, its share price continues to struggle at 517 yen ($3.45), more than 70% below its all-time high.

Metaplanet’s mNAV has dropped to 1.12, down sharply from 8.44 in June. Its market capitalization now stands at $3.94 billion compared to a bitcoin NAV of $2.9 billion, with an average BTC acquisition cost of $106,065.

Smart money is flowing into BNB Chain, with on-chain data showing over $700,000 invested in new projects within 24 hours.

The network is also experiencing a surge in developer activity and infrastructure improvements, which analysts believe could position it to compete with networks like Base and Solana.

Strong Token Inflows And Increased Activity
Blockchain analytics platform Nansen shared via X that investors have been making “smart money” moves on BNB Chain in the last day. The ecosystem has recorded notable inflows over the period, with several tokens showing positive movement despite some volatility.

STBL led the gains with a 33% increase, attracting $602,000 in new capital, while $BTCB remained steady but added $41,000. WOD continued to trade in the red, yet still drew $22,000. On the other hand, TRAD00R registered a 12% gain with $120,000 in inflows, while PROVE saw a more modest flow of $7,700.

Analysts say that these token movements show a growing belief among traders that the BNB Chain is capable of competing with players like Base and Solana. Elsewhere, statistics indicate that the network is actually running at under 30% of its capacity, which means that there remains unused potential for transaction throughput growth.

The network has also experienced an influx in developer activity, with new dApps, connectors, and AI-powered platforms being deployed across the ecosystem. Infrastructure improvements like Parallel EVM, gasless stablecoin transactions, and MEV protection have helped the platform become more efficient at processing higher volumes of transactions without losing performance.

The current architecture is projected to handle three times more state data while enabling faster block times. Validators have also proposed reducing gas fees from 0.1 Gwei to 0.05 Gwei, which would lower transaction costs to around $0.005 and rank BNB Chain among the most affordable networks in the industry. Similar measures have proven effective before, with the April 2024 fee cut driving a 75% decline in median costs and a 140% increase in daily transactions.

BNB Price Outlook
Binance Coin (BNB) recently crossed the $1,000 mark, peaking at $1,079 before stabilizing around  $1,025. This milestone coincides with a $2.37 billion surge in open interest on BNB futures, which shows greater investor activity.

Meanwhile, RSI hovers between 74 and 81, while  the MACD line remains above the signal line, showing strong bullish momentum. However, there are also early signs of divergence suggesting the rally may be entering a more fragile phase.

CZ is already forecasting stellar long-term returns for BNB, but analysts advise that user and developer growth, and consistent smart capital inflows, are more vital for the project’s survival in the near future.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has recently pushed past the $0.24 mark, signaling renewed strength in its price action after weeks of sideways movement. The rally has attracted fresh retail interest and sparked optimism about a potential continuation toward higher resistance levels. However, momentum appears fragile as trading volumes show signs of cooling, and larger holders are beginning to take profits. With sentiment across the broader crypto market turning cautious, DOGE price now sits in a crucial range. Failure to ignite a rebound here could expose the meme coin to a sharp 20% pullback.

Will the Dogecoin (DOGE) Price Plunge Below $0.2?In the past 24 hours, Dogecoin (DOGE) saw a notable on-chain move as a whale transferred around 122 million DOGE (worth nearly $28.5 million) off Binance to a private wallet. Such exchange outflows are often viewed as a sign of accumulation and confidence in long-term prospects, reducing immediate selling pressure on the market. This aligns with recent data showing large holders steadily adding to their positions despite short-term price volatility. If bullish momentum holds, DOGE may attempt another rebound from its current range, but failure to sustain demand could still trigger a steep pullback.

The weekly price chart of DOGE suggests the popular memecoin is still in a consolidation phase, but the bulls are in control. The price continues to trade within the upper bands of Bollinger, which usually suggests strength and bullishness in the market. Instead of sharp pullbacks, the token is digesting gains, which often precedes another upward leg. It also suggests the popular memecoin could be preparing for a breakout higher if the buying volume picks up. On the contrary, if the consolidation lingers too long or bands begin to widen excessively, it can also signal overbought conditions and a possible short-term correction. 

On the other hand, the CMF is displaying bearish divergence below 0, signaling the buying pressure is weakening, even though the price continues to consolidate. This is a red flag, indicating the rally may lose momentum. Therefore, the Dogecoin (DOGE) price appears to be at the crossroads, as the possibility of an extended pullback looms over the rally. If the price fails to defend the support at $0.2, a drop to $0.18 is imminent.

Cryptocurrency markets are highlighting a mix of resilience, technical momentum, and real-world adoption this week.

Bitcoin continues in dull trading, ranging between $108,645 and $110,369 following a sharp drop to a low of $108,623 on Thursday.

Bitcoin slightly rebounded on Friday, coinciding with the release of PCE data and a major options expiry; however, its gains could not be sustained.

Bitcoin erased its daily gains early Saturday, just up 0.3% in the last 24 hours to $109,330, but down 5.78% in the last week.

HOT Stories

While the market awaits Bitcoin's next move, analysts and indicators point to a critical line in the sand, a drop below which might result in a further decline, possibly below $100,000, returning Bitcoin to five figures.

According to Ali, a crypto analyst, who cited MVRV pricing bands, $116,354 remains a line in the sand for Bitcoin. This is because a failure to reclaim $116,354 puts Bitcoin (BTC) at risk of a drop to $94,334.

Bitcoin market faces clean slateAccording to Glassnode, the largest options expiry on Deribit has reset positioning, with BTC settling at $109,000 versus a $110,000 max pain. The market now faces a clean slate as expiries already happened. Now it might be crucial to watch open interest (OI), term structure, skew, vol spreads and flows to gauge sentiment.

BTC options open interest fell from 515,000 BTC to 355,000 positions rolled off with expiry, triggering a reset.

A climb in open interest in the coming days might be crucial to know where traders seek new exposure and their sentiment as BTC options point to short-term caution.

The market is discounting near-term moves, while long-term indicators suggest otherwise, indicating that there seems to be calm now but bigger swings might come later.

Luke Dashjr Denies Hard Fork Claims as Bitcoin Governance Debate Heats UpThe Bitcoin community is split after leaked messages alleged Luke Dashjr backed a controversial hard fork. Sep 27, 2025, 4:00 p.m.

Debates over Bitcoin’s future are nothing new, but this week the discussion took on a sharper edge. One of Bitcoin’s long-serving developers was at the center of a storm about immutability, censorship and what it means to “save” the protocol.

The controversy escalated on Sept. 25, following an article published by The Rage claiming to reveal that Luke Dashjr, maintainer of the Bitcoin Knots software, advocates a hard fork that would install a trusted multisig committee with power to retroactively alter the blockchain, review transactions and remove illicit content.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

A blockchain hard fork is a permanent divergence from the previous version of the blockchain software, requiring all participants to upgrade to the new protocol because the new and old versions are incompatible.

The piece cited purported leaked text messages in which Dashjr allegedly warned: “Either Bitcoin dies or we have to trust someone.”

The story spread across X, drawing hundreds of thousands of views and intensifying a long-running philosophical rift: should Bitcoin remain a neutral settlement layer, or should developers actively filter what counts as legitimate use of the network?

Dashjr rejected the claims outright. “The truth is I have not proposed a hardfork or anything of the sort, and these bad actors are just grasping at straws to slander me and try to undermine my efforts to save Bitcoin again,” he wrote.

The Rage responded with a meme to the effect of demanding to know who sent the leaked messages that its story shared.

Dashjr repeated his position multiple times over the following 24 hours. “Nope, nothing changed. Nobody is calling for a hard fork still." he posted. In another reply, he underlined: “There is no hard fork.”

The Knots vs. Core DivideBehind the dispute lies a deeper divide between Dashjr’s Bitcoin Knots project and the broader Bitcoin Core software used by most of the network.

Knots enforces tighter transaction policies, including blocking non-financial data such as Ordinals inscriptions and Runes tokens. Dashjr and his supporters argue such measures protect Bitcoin’s monetary integrity and safeguard it from regulatory risks. Core developers have historically taken a more permissive approach, tolerating non-standard data as long as it does not break consensus.

The alleged hard fork proposal cut to the heart of that tension. For Dashjr’s critics, it seemed to confirm fears that his vision requires compromising Bitcoin’s principle of immutability. For his defenders, the leak was an opportunistic smear designed to derail the case for stronger spam filters.

Among his defenders was Udi Wertheimer, co-founder of Taproot Wizards, a Bitcoin Ordinals project, so one which most would assume embodies everyting to which Dashjr is opposed.

“Not a Luke fan but this is a hit piece and fake news. He is not proposing this,” Wertheimer posted on X, referring to the supposed hard fork plan.

"I'm (obviously) not on Luke's side but...this is just a sloppy low quality propaganda piece," he wrote.

Wertheimer concluded that what Dasjhr's leaked messages were a hypothetical discussion about using zero-knowledge proofs to allowing Knots nodes to avoid downloading "spam."

"This is, as always, a nothing burger," he concluded. "It's pretty obvious to me that this proposal never gets implemented, and even if it did, it does not censor the network and does not split the network, and remains fully compatible with core."

It’s worth noting that over the past 24 hours, BTC$109,495.88 slipped 2.2% to trade at around $109,000, a drop of over 5.5% in the last week.

While there’s no direct evidence linking this dip to the controversy over Dashjr’s alleged plans, the timing is hardly helpful. In crypto markets, uncertainty alone can amplify downward pressure and rumors of protocol upheaval tend to stoke exactly that.

UN: Experiment With Pension Funds Proves Blockchain as 'Ultimate' Identity Tech

23 hours ago

The United Nations' pension fund tried blockchain technology to back up a "digital certificate of existence" that vastly improved its old, paper-based system.

What to know:

The United Nations adopted blockchain technology to improve its identification system in its global pension program, and its successes were documented in a white paper this week. The UN was so happy with the improvements that it's seeking to expand the blockchain use throughout its system and share it with other international organizations, the paper said. Read full story

Bitcoin continues to hover between well-defined price levels, frustrating traders who are waiting for a decisive move.

According to market analyst Kevin Capital, BTC has been “trapped” in the $125,000–$106,800 range throughout the latter half of summer, with little momentum beyond reacting to macroeconomic data.

The analyst noted that spot trading volumes continue to decline, with most activity driven by leverage, while liquidity pockets act as magnets for price action. For now, the goal is to break the weekly bearish divergence and push the candles above the $125,000 area. Failing to do so, Kev warned, calls for caution.

Market history also weighs on sentiment. Analyst Timothy Peterson noted that September 21 has historically been Bitcoin’s weakest day of the year, with losses occurring 80% of the time.

Adding to the short-term jitters on Monday, 22 September, CryptoMichNL described the latest pullback as a “classic Monday morning liquidity sweep.” According to him, the flush in Bitcoin and altcoins was overdue, clearing overleveraged positions from the market. He argued that these dips often present opportunities for accumulation for those willing to hold for the longer term.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin is trading near $109,383 at the time of writing, with a slight 7% decline over the past week. Yet, the crypto still managed a dominance of 57.7%, even as the global crypto market cap dropped 3.9% in 24 hours.

That said, it has mixed technical indicators, as the MACD leans bullish, while RSI hovers in neutral territory around 52.

In other news, regulatory shifts and institutional developments continue to influence Bitcoin’s trajectory. 

The SEC’s approval of listing standards for crypto exchange-traded products has paved the way for Grayscale’s multi-asset ETF, which includes Bitcoin.

Nonetheless, analysts note that Bitcoin remains caught between optimism and caution, as whale accumulation, ETF inflows, and macroeconomic uncertainty will define the coming weeks.

XRP slipped 6.88% over the past 7 days, trading at $2.78, despite a wave of positive developments bolstering sentiment around the crypto. 

The decline follows what lawyer and crypto advocate Bill Morgan described as XRP’s close correlation with Bitcoin, noting that its price action continues to “play follow the leader.”

Despite the pullback, several key drivers indicate growing institutional interest. 

On Wednesday, Ripple announced a partnership with DBS and Franklin Templeton to offer accredited investors tokenised money market funds and lending products on the XRP Ledger, supported by Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin, RLUSD. 

Morgan remarked sarcastically that with so much positive news, XRP’s ability to hold above $3.00 was notable in itself.

Institutional catalysts test XRP’s resilience
Momentum had already been building earlier this week. The REX-Osprey XRP ETF went live, offering U.S. investors direct spot exposure to the token. Meanwhile, CME Group confirmed that it would list XRP and Solana futures options in October. 

The combination of new derivatives products, ETF approval, and a Federal Reserve rate cut initially pushed XRP higher by more than 4% before it reversed course alongside the broader market.

Analysts caution that legal and regulatory outcomes are central to XRP’s trajectory. The recently resolved SEC v. Ripple lawsuit is expected to ease one of the biggest overhangs on the token.

Meanwhile, further ETF decisions from the SEC are due in October. The outcomes could either accelerate institutional inflows or stall momentum.

At press time, XRP’s market cap stood at $166 billion, with daily trading volume reaching $4 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. In the long term, technical upgrades to the XRP Ledger, including new batch transactions and escrow features, aim to expand its DeFi utility and facilitate institutional adoption.

Combined with Ripple’s banking partnerships and potential CBDC integrations, the outlook appears bullish. For now, however, XRP’s path may be tied to Bitcoin’s market direction.

Bitcoin has broken below the 100-day moving average at $113.4K, signaling growing bearish sentiment after the recent sell-off. The price is now consolidating in a critical zone where demand levels will dictate the next directional move.

Technical Analysis
By Shayan

The Daily Chart
On the daily timeframe, Bitcoin has dropped beneath the 100-day MA, leaving the price caught between the 100-day ($113K) and 200-day ($104K) moving averages. This range often acts as a “no man’s land,” reflecting indecision until either buyers or sellers reclaim momentum.

The descending channel structure remains intact, suggesting persistent downward pressure unless bulls can defend the channel’s lower boundary near $109K. Holding above this region is essential to prevent deeper tests toward the 200-day MA and the $100K–$102K demand zone.

Notably, there is a visible sell-side liquidity pocket below $107K, which could draw the price lower in a liquidity sweep before any major reversal attempt unfolds.

The 4-Hour Chart
On the 4-hour timeframe, Bitcoin was rejected aggressively from $117K, triggering a cascade of selling. The decline has brought the price into a bullish flag structure, with BTC now hovering just above a key demand zone below $110K.

This area is vital for preserving bullish potential. If buyers defend it successfully, Bitcoin could stage a rebound toward recent highs. However, a breakdown here would likely accelerate the move toward the deeper liquidity pool near $100K, aligning with the 200-day MA. The next leg will depend on whether demand can withstand continued sell pressure or if sellers push the market into fresh lows.

Sentiment Analysis
By Shayan

The Binance BTC/USDT liquidation heatmap (2-week view) reveals how recent volatility has been liquidity-driven. A substantial cluster of liquidations has formed above the $117K swing high, where aggressive selling forced longs into liquidation. This band highlights the heavy concentration of stop-losses and overleveraged longs that amplified the rejection.

In contrast, the heatmap shows no major liquidity clusters below the current price, implying that sellers may have already exhausted near-term downside liquidity. With Bitcoin stabilizing around $109K, this absence of downside targets may temporarily limit further declines, unless fresh order flow builds below.

For now, the market remains defined by this imbalance: the $117K liquidity band overhead acts as a cap where supply dominates, while the $109K demand base must hold to avoid a deeper slide toward the $100K zone.

Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has slipped below the moving average lines following a rejection at the $640 high.

The cryptocurrency dropped to a low of $533, but bulls bought the dips. The altcoin is now trading above the $520 support but below the $640 resistance level. In other words, the cryptocurrency has returned to the previous low of August 29.

Bitcoin Cash price long-term analysis: ranging

Today, BCH is rising as it regains bullish momentum above its current support. On the upside, if BCH breaks above the moving average lines, it will return to its $650 high. In contrast, it will continue its range-bound movement below the moving average lines and above the current support at $520, where it fails to surpass the recent high. BCH is currently at $546.

Ripple's token continues to trade under pressure, but key technical levels are coming into focus. Both XRP/USDT and XRP/BTC pairs are sitting near important inflection zones that could define the next move.

As the Bitcoin price retreats below the $110,000 support level, two risky chart patterns have formed while exchange-traded fund (ETF) outflows rise. 

Summary

Bitcoin price has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern.
BTC has also formed a rising wedge pattern on the weekly chart.
Bitcoin ETF inflows have slowed for two consecutive weeks.

Bitcoin price retreats amid ETF weakness
At last check on Saturday, September 27, Bitcoin (BTC) was trading at approximately $109,600. That’s down 12% from its all-time high. It is also hovering at its lowest level since September 2. 

BTC and other cryptocurrencies pulled back this week as demand from American investors eased. Data compiled by SoSoValue shows that ETF inflows have slowed in the past two weeks.

All Bitcoin ETFs experienced outflows of $902 million this week, after adding $886 million a week earlier. They said $2.34 billion the week of September 12. 

One potential reason for the weakness is that some Federal Reserve officials warned about interest rate cuts. Officials like Austan Goolsbee, Beth Hammack, and Raphael Bostic cautioned that the Fed should be cautious when cutting rates. 

These officials noted that inflation has remained above the 2% target for over four years. They also noted that the labor market was still strong, citing the low unemployment rate. 

Also, the economy has been resilient, with a recent report showing that it expanded by 3.8% in the second quarter. The number of Americans filing for jobless claims has dropped significantly in the past few weeks.

Looking ahead, the next important catalyst for Bitcoin and other coins will be the non-farm payrolls data on Friday. These numbers will help to determine whether the Fed will cut interest rates in the October meeting.

The daily timeframe chart shows that the Bitcoin price has pulled back in the past few weeks. A closer look reveals that it has slowly formed a head-and-shoulders pattern, which often signals further downside. 

It has also moved below the 50-day Exponential Moving Average, while the Relative Strength Index has pointed downwards. These patterns suggest further downside potential to the 50% Fibonacci Retracement level at $100,000.

BTC formed a rising wedge and bearish divergence

The weekly chart indicates that the Bitcoin price has formed a rising wedge chart pattern, characterized by two converging trendlines that are rising. These two lines are nearing their confluence, indicating a potential bearish breakout.

At the same time, oscillators like the Relative Strength Index and the MACD have formed a bearish divergence pattern as they have moved downwards, as it kept rising. These two patterns also indicate further downside in the coming weeks.

According to reports, XRP is trading near $2.78 as markets head toward the year-end, with less than 100 days left until 2026. The token slipped more than 10% in the last week, a pullback that comes after stronger showings earlier this year.

Traders and analysts are watching a mix of on-chain signals and community chatter for clues about whether XRP can push into higher price tiers before the calendar flips.

Community Predicted Targets
Social media has become the loudest forum for price calls. One long-time Bitcoin investor active since 2013, who posts as Pumpius, put a $25 target on XRP before 2026 — a move that would mean over nine-fold gains from current levels.

Other voices have offered different ceilings: Alex Cobb has floated $22 by December, some expect $10, while a few see at least $5 as a nearer-term milestone.

A handful of commenters even suggested figures above $30, tying those hopes to potential ETF flows. Replies on the thread ranged from bullish cheers to reminders to aim for smaller wins first, like cracking $4.

ETF Interest And Market Flows
Based on reports, optimism around potential XRP ETFs is a core driver behind the larger forecasts. Executives such as the CEO of Canary Capital have suggested that ETFs could open the door to billions of dollars of new inflows.

That thesis has brought new life to bull cases and provided momentum to speculation about double-digit prices. Meanwhile, market behavior has been mixed: XRP had its strong periods in January and once more in July, yet momentum was lost thereafter, leaving traders hesitant as they balance ETF optimism with subsequent price weakness.

Trading Behavior And On-Chain Signals
XRP is seen to have a lower dormancy rate than Bitcoin and Ethereum in recent chain data. That indicates the units of XRP change hands more frequently, which generally means active usage — payments, transfers, and liquidity trades.

Reports indicate that Bitcoin’s higher dormancy corresponds with a stronger “store of value” mental attitude, whereas Ethereum’s dormancy corresponds with developer and DeFi activity.

XRP’s active circulation fits Ripple’s long-stated push to make the token a bridge asset for payments, rather than a coin mainly held for long-term gains.

Dormancy Signals And Implications
If transactional use continues to rise, it may help XRP build a case as a utility-driven asset. But higher movement alone does not guarantee price appreciation.

Accumulation patterns also matter: assets that are hoarded tend to build scarcity narratives that can support higher valuations.

Analysts and investors will likely watch whether greater on-chain use is matched by fresh buying pressure, including from institutional products, before updating their long-term views.

As Bitcoin (BTC) lingers below the $110,000 mark, a trading analyst has warned that the asset may be facing a deeper correction if certain levels are breached.

According to analysis by Ted Pillows, after a recent decline from resistance above $113,000, the cryptocurrency is holding within a critical support zone.

The outlook suggests that $112,000 remains a key level for bulls, as reclaiming it could trigger a fresh uptrend toward $118,000 and potentially retest the $123,000–$124,000 region.

On the downside, immediate support lies around $107,000, where failure to hold could confirm the start of a broader correction. 

A break below this level would expose the next major support cluster near $105,000, extending down to $101,000, signaling a deeper retracement.

Notably, Bitcoin’s current price action highlights indecision, with the asset consolidating in a narrow range as traders weigh whether momentum will shift upward or give way to stronger selling pressure. 

Therefore, a decisive move above $112,000 or below $107,000 is likely to set the tone for the coming weeks, with volatility expected to build as these thresholds are tested.

Bitcoin price analysis 
At press time, Bitcoin was trading at $109,386, down 0.11% in the past 24 hours and nearly 6% lower on the weekly chart.

The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) stands at $114,313, signaling short-term weakness and reinforcing the ongoing bearish sentiment. However, the asset remains above the 200-day SMA of $104,142, suggesting the broader trend is intact unless that level is broken.

Meanwhile, the 14-day RSI at 37.81 reflects bearish momentum, edging closer to oversold territory. 

While sellers remain in control, the indicator suggests Bitcoin could soon enter a zone where buyers step in to defend key support levels. For any sustained upward move, the asset must reclaim the $110,000 level.

Mike Novogratz is predicting that Bitcoin could blow past $200,000 if Donald Trump goes through with his plan to replace Jerome Powell with a “massive dove” at the U.S. Federal Reserve.

Speaking in an interview with Kyle Chasse uploaded to YouTube on Friday, Mike, the CEO of Galaxy Digital, said this single decision might be the biggest trigger for crypto in years. “That’s the potential biggest bull catalyst for Bitcoin and the rest of crypto,” he said.

Mike made it clear that if the Fed starts slashing when it has no business doing so, the result won’t just be another rally. It’ll be what he called a “blow-off top” for Bitcoin. He said, “Can Bitcoin get to $200K? Of course it could… Because it becomes a whole new conversation if that happens.”

But this isn’t something Mike’s rooting for. “Do I want it to happen? No. Why? Because I kind of love America,” he said.

Mike warns Trump pick could destroy Fed independence
Mike also said the whole setup could be “really shitty for America.” He’s not talking theory. He said outright that putting a dovish loyalist in charge might kill the Fed’s independence. That, he warned, could push investors into full panic mode.

“Gold skyrockets… Bitcoin skyrockets,” he said. The change wouldn’t just hit traditional finance, it would slam the dollar too. That’s because when the Fed softens, the dollar usually weakens. And when that happens, crypto looks a lot more attractive.

The idea that Trump will pick someone soft is already priced in a little, according to Mike. But not completely. “It was priced in that he was going to pick somebody dovey, but no one is quite sure,” he said. He believes markets won’t fully react until the decision is made official. “I don’t think the market will buy that Trump’s going to do the crazy, until he does the crazy.”

Cryptopolitan reported that Trump told people at the Oval on September 6 that he has narrowed down the Fed chair shortlist to three names: Kevin Hassett, Christopher Waller, and Kevin Warsh. “You could say those are the top three,” Trump said.

Waller, who currently sits on the Fed’s Board of Governors, had already pushed for a rate cut as early as July. That’s two months before the Fed delivered a 25 basis point cut, its first since last year.

Fed cuts rates as stocks climb and Bitcoin eyes the chaos
The markets saw the cut coming. But what’s worrying people like Mike is what happens if it becomes a trend. Meanwhile, stocks are racing. The S&P 500 is up more than 12% since January. The rise, despite spring volatility, has many questioning if prices have gone too far.

In Rhode Island on Tuesday, Powell was asked how market levels affect Fed policy. “We do look at overall financial conditions, and we ask ourselves whether our policies are affecting financial conditions in a way that is what we’re trying to achieve,” Powell said. He added that “by many measures, for example, equity prices are fairly highly valued.”

That was enough to push stocks slightly lower. But Mike isn’t focused on tiny dips. He’s watching the big picture. If Trump puts someone dovish in the driver’s seat, and that person cuts rates when they shouldn’t, crypto investors could see a massive upside — but it’ll come at a cost.

Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, also weighed in on how hot the markets are. “Probably the oldest tenet in investing is ‘buy low, sell high,’” he said. Right now, most pros are watching the price-to-earnings ratio. The S&P 500 is trading at a 41% premium compared to its 20-year average. That stat alone has analysts asking how long this can last.

Ripple has partnered with Ondo Finance to combine traditional finance with blockchain technology. This partnership introduces tokenized U.S. Treasuries (OUSG) on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The RLUSD stablecoin, powers this initiative, enabling 24/7 minting and redemption of OUSG tokens. The focus of this move is primarily on institutional users.

Ripple’s Institutional DeFi Signals A New Era for Digital Assets
This collaboration centers on the minting and redemption of OUSG tokens, which are backed by Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple and Ondo Finance are also positioning XRPL to challenge Ethereum in the realm of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

Ondo Finance has long been a leader in bringing traditional financial assets onto blockchain platforms. The introduction of OUSG provides institutional investors with secure and efficient access to short-term U.S. government debt. Now available on XRPL, OUSG allows qualified institutional users to manage these assets in a blockchain environment.

Ripple and Ondo seek to transform XRPL into a hub for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs). XRPL’s real-time transaction capabilities, combined with Ripple’s focus on stablecoins, make it an ideal platform for institutions looking for fast and secure solutions. This initiative aims to simplify digital asset management and enhance liquidity for institutional users.

Ripple’s roadmap demonstrates the importance of tokenized assets and stablecoins within the broader DeFi ecosystem. By tokenizing U.S. Treasuries, it streamlines the asset management process for banks, asset managers, and fintech firms. The focus is on making XRPL the go-to settlement layer for these transactions, further cementing Ripple’s role in the DeFi space.

Ripple’s efforts to expand into RWA tokenization strengthens XRPL’s place in institutional DeFi. The partnership with Ondo ensures that liquidity and new financial management tools are accessible to qualified investors. Its emphasis on compliance, security, and stablecoin infrastructure aligns with broader global trends toward the adoption of digital assets.

Ripple Positions XRPL as Settlement Platform for Tokenized Treasuries
Ripple intends to establish XRPL as the settlement layer for tokenized assets, such as U.S. Treasuries. Moreover, its investments in liquidity and stablecoin infrastructure enhance access and transaction capabilities. This move shifts digital asset management toward trust and security.

The integration of tokenized U.S. Treasuries into XRPL highlights Ripple’s long-term vision. With it combination of traditional finance with blockchain technology, Ripple ensures a secure ecosystem for institutional participants. As Ripple innovates, XRPL is positioned to be a key player in institutional DeFi strategies.
