A wallet linked to the Chinese Bitcoin mining operation LuBian transferred almost $1.3 billion in Bitcoin a day after the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) moved to seize $15 billion in Bitcoin allegedly stolen from the mining pool in 2020. 

On Wednesday, blockchain analytics firm Lookonchain flagged the movement, noting that a wallet linked to LuBian transferred 9,757 Bitcoin (BTC), worth about $1.1 billion at the time, to new wallets after a three-year period of dormancy. 

According to Arkham Intelligence, the wallet later transferred another 2,129 BTC, worth about $238 million, on Wednesday, hours after the first transfer. This totaled 11,886 Bitcoin, worth about $1.3 billion at current market prices. 

An investigation by Arkham on Aug. 3 claimed that in 2020, LuBian was hacked for 127,426 BTC, worth about $3.5 billion at the time. Arkham said the platform moved 11,886 BTC to recovery wallets, an amount that matches the recently moved LuBian-linked Bitcoin. 

LuBian-linked wallet transfers $1.3 billion in Bitcoin. Source: Arkham Intelligence DOJ revealed $15 billion Bitcoin seizure case against a LuBian-linked companyThe latest wallet activity occurred less than a day after the DOJ unsealed an indictment involving Prince Holding Group, a Cambodia-based company accused of orchestrating large-scale crypto fraud schemes. 

On Tuesday, US prosecutors filed a forfeiture complaint for the roughly $14.4 billion tied to the alleged scam network led by Chen Zhi, the group’s founder.

The DOJ said the Bitcoin in question is already in custody and will be subject to forfeiture following Zhi’s potential conviction on wire fraud and money laundering conspiracy charges. 

According to the DOJ, Zhi and his co-conspirators laundered the illicit proceeds of their operations to fund large-scale crypto mining operations.

This included a Laos-based company called Warp Data, its Texas-based subsidiary and the China-based LuBian, which emerged as the sixth-largest Bitcoin mining pool in 2020.

The DOJ said these companies “produced large sums of clean Bitcoin dissociated from criminal proceeds.”

Bitcoin seizure could place funds in US reservesIf the court approves the forfeiture, the recovered Bitcoin could become one of the largest additions to the US government’s digital asset holdings to date.

In March, President Donald Trump signed an executive order establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve. 

At the time, White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks said the reserve would be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was “forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings.”

Peter Schiff predicts $6,000 gold by Christmas as metal outshines Bitcoin and S&P 500

Peter Schiff, the loudest voice against Bitcoin (BTC) since the early days, is suddenly sounding like a man watching his own dream play out as gold rips through levels nobody thought would come this fast. 

In just one week, the metal went from $4,000 to $4,200, and Schiff is now openly calling for $5,000 by Thanksgiving and $6,000 by Christmas, with silver tagging along north of $75. He dresses it up by telling people to buy one-ounce rounds as stocking stuffers, but the message is not about gifts — it is about what the markets are really saying.

I'm just pointing out how fast gold is rising. Most likely there will be some correctoins along the way. But $5K by year end is very likely.

HOT Stories

— Peter Schiff (@PeterSchiff) October 15, 2025 Gold futures above $4,200 is not just a chart milestone; it is a 60% gain in 2025, and it makes gold and silver four times stronger than the S&P 500, and that is during one of the S&P’s best bull runs ever. When the safe havens outperform risky assets in the middle of a bull market on those same risky assets, it is not about hedging, but the floor giving way under fiat currencies.

Why is gold rallying?The drivers are not hard to list: deficit spending exploding, central banks cutting into stagflation and a record wave of AI capital expenditure that has already turned into an arms race between the U.S. and China.

Schiff has always trashed Bitcoin, calling it a bubble and a distraction, but his $6,000 gold target lands right as Bitcoin is fighting to stay above $110,000, and the contrast is obvious — one asset born as a hedge against currency debasement is stalling under volatility, while the other, the so-called relic, is rallying harder than almost anything else on the markets.

Solana (SOL) has overtaken Ethereum in decentralized exchange (DEX) trading volume, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of on-chain finance. Over the past 24 hours, Solana recorded $5.84 billion in DEX trading activity, surpassing Ethereum's $5.75 billion, according to DefiLlama data.

Dogecoin price rebounded 45% from the crash lows in anticipation of the House of Doge NASDAQ merger announcement.Whales and long-term holders sold nearly 640 million DOGE during the hype-led recovery, pushing forth the sell-the-news narrative.Dogecoin trades near $0.203, forming a bearish triangle that could signal a short-term correction to $0.181 if one support breaks. The much-hyped House of Doge announcement — a planned merger that could list Dogecoin’s corporate arm on NASDAQ in early 2026 — briefly reignited optimism across the DOGE community. The hype around it helped the Dogecoin price rebound almost 45% by October 13, recovering sharply from its “Black Friday” crash lows.

However, this recovery also became an exit window. Key holder groups offloaded portions of their holdings, signaling that optimism may have come more from hype than conviction. Over the past 24 hours, the price has mostly traded flat, prompting traders to zoom in on the 4-hour chart for early signs of Dogecoin’s next move.

Whales and Long-Term Holders Exit Through and After the ReboundFollowing the House of Doge buzz, on-chain data shows that major wallets and long-term investors both reduced their positions substantially.

Whale wallets — those holding between 100 million and 1 billion DOGE — lowered their balances from 28.83 billion DOGE on October 13 (day of merger announcement) to 28.47 billion DOGE two days later. That’s roughly 360 million DOGE sold, worth about $74 million at the current Dogecoin price.

Dogecoin Whales Dump: GlassnodeMeanwhile, the Holder Net Position Change, an indicator that tracks whether long-term investors are buying or selling, remained negative and worsened. Between October 9 and October 14, net selling grew from –48 million DOGE to –329 million DOGE, a clear sign that even committed holders moved out. While the crash sentiment had a role to play, things didn’t get much better even when the Black Friday jitters eased out.

Dogecoin Investors Keep Selling: GlassnodeNote: There’s one small positive: compared to October 12, when the figure sat near –366 million DOGE, the current value of –329 million DOGE suggests that some slow buying may be returning post the merger news.

In total, nearly 640 million DOGE, valued at around $130 million, exited whale and holder wallets during and after the 45% bounce. The pattern suggests that many took advantage of the temporary strength to cut exposure or lock in smaller losses.

Dogecoin Price Faces Key Test Near $0.20On the 4-hour chart (used to locate early trend shifts). The Dogecoin price continues to trade inside a descending triangle — a pattern that usually signals potential weakness if buyers fail to defend key levels. The upper resistance zone lies near $0.206, and a daily close above it would indicate short-term strength.

Dogecoin Price Analysis: TradingViewHowever, all’s not bullish with the chart. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) — which measures momentum and identifies overbought or oversold conditions — shows a hidden bearish divergence. Prices have made lower highs while RSI has made higher highs, suggesting fading buying power. This kind of divergence hints at a correction in the shorter time frame.

However, $0.194 remains a critical support line and a key base for the bearish triangle. A decisive break below this level could open the way to deeper corrections. That would open levels of $0.181 and even $0.149 for the Dogecoin price (acting as other lower bases for the descending triangle).

While most digital assets struggled under the weight of President Trump’s 100% tariff threat on China, the Zcash price stood out as an exception. On the day broader markets plunged, ZEC price not only resisted the panic but soared to an all-time high of $298. This unexpected strength highlighted growing investor interest in Zcash crypto amid heightened global uncertainty.

However, after this remarkable move, the Zcash price today hovers around $263 down from its peak as traders took profits and volatility began to normalize. The pullback reflects a mix of profit-taking and declining speculative interest, signaling that the parabolic October rally may be losing steam.

Falling Open Interest Signals Waning MomentumRecent data from the derivatives market shows a steady decline in ZEC’s futures open interest, underscoring fading enthusiasm among leveraged traders. 

In simple terms, this means investors are closing positions rather than initiating new ones that could be an early and critical sign that bullish momentum could be running out of fuel.

This pattern often precedes a cooldown after a sharp rally. If the ZEC price chart breaks below the crucial $250 level again, it could indicate that genuine investors demand is failing to sustain the uptrend.

In such a scenario, the Zcash price forecast based on projections suggests it could drop toward $160, with an extended correction possibly reaching $125.

That said, such pullbacks can create opportunities for institutional accumulation, allowing the token to regain stability before the next major move. Currently, market odds appear balanced, with slightly more weight (around 50%+) leaning toward a cautious downside bias.

Technical Signals Hint at OverextensionAnother element signaling potential cooling is the widening of the Bollinger Bands on the daily ZEC price chart. When the gap between the upper and lower bands expands rapidly following a steep rise, it typically suggests elevated volatility and an overbought condition. This pattern increases the probability of a short-term correction as traders lock in profits.

Despite this, sentiment remains divided. Some traders interpret the setup as a temporary pause before another leg up, rather than a full reversal. 

$ZEC just tapped a major OB… breakout incoming?

Entry: $233 (Order Block)
Stop: $204
Targets: $273 / $298

Why it matters 👇
✅ Price reacting from key bullish Order Block
✅ Liquidity above at Buyside & Previous Week High
✅ Higher timeframe shows bullish continuation
✅ Smart… pic.twitter.com/2aQSgTy1fz

— Crypto Patel (@CryptoPatel) October 14, 2025 On the 4-hour chart, technical setups indicate that if buyers defend strong liquidity zones once more, Zcash crypto could revisit its $298 ATH and even surpass it. Smart money defending key price levels could fuel another push higher, keeping the broader Zcash price prediction tilted toward cautious optimism.

Zcash Price Outlook: Testing Support Before Next MoveThe Zcash price USD remains at a critical juncture. Sustaining above $250 would affirm continued bullish control and open the path to retesting $298. However, a decisive break below that level would confirm that the market is entering a corrective phase, possibly extending to the $160-$125 range before renewed buying strength emerges.

BTC’s technical setup suggests a potential price drop toward $74,000, as notable whales have stayed short. Is the top in for Bitcoin?

177

Key takeaways:

Bitcoin's rising wedge pattern suggests a potential drop to $74,000 if a key support level fails.

A new whale has placed $140 million in short bets on BTC.

Bitcoin’s (BTC) technical setup suggests a deeper correction to $74,000 is possible, as whales have increased their short exposure to BTC.

Bitcoin’s rising wedge targets a 34% price dropThe weekly chart shows the BTC/USD pair trading within a rising wedge, with the price testing support from the lower trendline of the pattern at $110,000. 

A weekly candlestick close below this level will clear that path for Bitcoin’s drop toward the wedge’s bearish target at $74,000, representing a 34% decline from the current price. This also coincides with its previous peak reached in March 2024. 

BTC/USD daily price chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewBitcoin’s bearish case is supported by a growing bullish divergence between its price and the relative strength index, as shown in the chart above.

Rising wedges are typically bearish reversal patterns, and BTC’s continued consolidation within the pattern’s trendlines suggests that “Bitcoin’s bull run is nearing its end,” according to analyst Captain Faibik.

 “Bitcoin is still inside the rising wedge and bulls are in control for now, but not for long,” the analyst said in an X post on Wednesday, adding:

“Momentum is fading, and once the wedge breaks, bears will take over with a sharp correction ahead.”Veteran trader Peter Brandt said Bitcoin could see a “major shakeout” before returning to its all-time highs above $126,000.

“I think the day of the 80% decline is over, but perhaps back to $50-60,000 and test the lower skin of the banana.”As Cointelegraph reported, several technical and onchain metrics suggest that the BTC/USD pair could drop to $74,000 in the worst-case scenario if the price failed to hold above the $110,000 support level. 

Bitcoin whale places $140 million BTC short betBitcoin bears doubled down on their BTC short exposures as calls for deeper price drawdown have grown louder. 

Data from Lookonchain shows that a Hyperliquid whale has placed a short position worth $140 million, at 5x leverage and a liquidation price of $137,700.

— Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 15, 2025
This is not the only whale betting on Bitcoin’s downside. On Tuesday, another Bitcoin whale that shorted BTC last week added to a $500 million downside bet, with 10x leverage.

Meanwhile, onchain data showed that the ratio of unrealized profit and loss (NUPL) has shifted from “optimism” to “euphoria,” a trend that has preceded blow-off tops in the past.

Gold as measured by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:GLD) smashed through $4,200 per ounce on Wednesday after Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted at fresh rate cuts, while Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) continues to languish around $112,000.

Gold Extends Historic Rally On Policy And GeopoliticsGold has gained more than 25% since mid-August, aiming for its ninth straight weekly green close.

Fed Chair Powell told the National Association for Business Economics on Tuesday that slowing U.S. hiring poses an increasing threat to growth, a remark traders interpreted as support for two more cuts this year.

Falling real yields and geopolitical strains have amplified the move. 

President Donald Trump accused China of "economically hostile" behavior after it halted soybean imports and warned of possible retaliation, including a cooking-oil embargo. 

Beijing responded with new sanctions against five U.S. units of South Korea's Hanwha Ocean.

The prolonged U.S. government shutdown has added to the uncertainty, fueling further demand for safe-haven assets.

Gold Price Analysis (Source: TradingView)

Technically, gold trades well above its 20-day EMA at $3,916, with the RSI near 83, indicating overbought conditions but strong momentum. 

Pullbacks toward $3,950–$4,000 are likely to draw buyers, with the next resistance at $4,300–$4,350.

Bitcoin Struggles As Whales Accumulate

BTC Technical Analysis (Source: TradingView)

Bitcoin meanwhile has fallen back below its short-term moving averages after rejecting resistance near $124,000. 

The token remains inside a broad rising channel, with $111,000–$112,000 serving as key support and the 200-day EMA near $108,100 acting as the final floor for the bullish structure.

The Supertrend indicator has turned bearish, reflecting fragile sentiment. 

BTC Netflows (Source: Coinglass)

On-chain data from Coinglass shows over $800 million in BTC outflows across the past three sessions, a sign of ongoing distribution. 

Large holders, however, appear to be quietly accumulating during the dip.

Trade-war headlines added pressure. After Trump's initial conciliatory tone briefly lifted sentiment, new port fees imposed by both Washington and Beijing on shipping firms triggered renewed selling in Bitcoin and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).

Why It MattersGold breaking $4,200 is not just a chart milestone, it is a signal that investors are treating it as the ultimate hedge against a weakening policy backdrop. 

At the same time, Bitcoin holding the $111,000 zone shows that even in an environment of fear and liquidity stress, crypto remains in the conversation as an alternative store of value. 

When the world's two most polarizing assets react differently to the same macro shocks, it highlights a deeper shift: markets are no longer asking whether digital assets belong in portfolios, but how they stack up against gold in times of crisis.

For investors, $111,000 is the key near-term support for Bitcoin. A rebound from that zone could retest $116,000–$118,000, while failure risks a slide toward $108,000.

Gold's structure stays firmly bullish as long as prices hold above $3,950, keeping the path open to new records.

Zeta Network is using Bitcoin as the foundation for a major expansion of its treasury. The company said it leveraged SolvBTC to secure a $231 million investment dedicated to scaling its financial resources.

Summary

Zeta Network secured a $231 million Bitcoin-backed investment through a private placement using SolvBTC, a yield-generating wrapped Bitcoin token.
The deal involves Class A shares and one-for-one warrants sold at $1.70 per unit, with each warrant exercisable at $2.55.
The company said the move strengthens its balance sheet and underscores its long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s fundamentals.

According to a press release dated Oct. 15, Zeta Network Group has entered into a securities purchase agreement for a private investment in public equity totaling approximately $230.8 million.

Per the deal’s structure, the proceeds will be paid to Zeta not in U.S. dollars but in either Bitcoin (BTC) or SolvBTC, a Bitcoin-backed yield-generating token. This capital infusion, expected to close on Oct. 16, will be used to acquire company shares and warrants, directly expanding Zeta’s treasury with a digital asset designed for institutional use, the company said.

Bitcoin-backed structure reinforces Zeta’s treasury strategy
Under the terms of the private placement, Zeta Network is issuing Class A ordinary shares and one-for-one warrants, each exercisable at $2.55 per share. The securities are being sold together at a combined price of $1.70 per unit, creating a structured financing mechanism that gives investors both equity exposure and an option on Zeta’s long-term valuation.

Zeta Network framed this move as a disciplined, counter-cyclical strategy that strengthens its conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term fundamentals. By accepting a Bitcoin-backed instrument as payment, the company is aligning its treasury with the digital asset’s perceived value and scarcity, even amid recent market volatility.

“By integrating SolvBTC into our treasury, we’re enhancing financial resilience with an instrument that combines Bitcoin’s scarcity with sustainable yield. It’s a measured, institutional approach to growth,” Patrick Ngan, Chief Investment Officer at Zeta Network Group, said.

According to the company, SolvBTC represents a new class of Bitcoin-based financial instrument aimed at bridging the gap between corporate treasury management and on-chain infrastructure.

Each SolvBTC token is fully collateralized 1:1 with Bitcoin, which is held under regulated custody. Its reserves are verified on-chain, offering a structure designed for institutional treasury applications where transparency and compliance are paramount. This provides a mechanism for companies to gain Bitcoin exposure while potentially earning yield, moving beyond passive holding.

Meanwhile, Zeta Network is building a Bitcoin-centric institutional finance platform. The company said its operations are designed to integrate digital-asset treasury management, Bitcoin liquidity aggregation, and sustainable mining operations, all within the regulated framework provided by its Nasdaq listing.

Key Takeaways 
Why is Tron’s network growth significant for TRX’s price outlook?
Tron’s expanding active addresses and strong DeFi utility reflect genuine adoption, reinforcing its long-term bullish structure.

How are derivatives traders positioning around the current TRX price levels?
With taker-buy dominance and a 1.53 long/short ratio, futures traders lean bullish, expecting a rebound above $0.33.

Since early 2020, Tron’s [TRX] ecosystem has witnessed rapid growth, with Active Addresses soaring from a few hundred thousand to nearly four million while TRX climbed from $0.004 to $0.38. 

This remarkable expansion highlights Tron’s resilience in a volatile market and reinforces its strong fundamentals. 

At the time of writing, TRX consolidated around $0.31 after a prolonged uptrend, yet on-chain activity remains robust. 

Despite short-term volatility, rising user participation and continued adoption in stablecoin and DeFi transfers suggest that the network’s bullish momentum remains intact heading toward 2026.

TRX price stabilizes as bulls defend a key support zone
TRX recently broke below its ascending trendline but found solid footing near the $0.31–$0.32 support range. 

The area coincides with previous accumulation levels where buyers historically regained control. 

This stabilization hints that selling pressure may be cooling. Furthermore, the Stochastic RSI was near 26, as of writing, reflecting oversold conditions and signaling the potential for a short-term bounce. 

If buyers reclaim $0.33, the 21-day Moving Average could act as a launchpad toward $0.37. However, a dip below $0.30 might expose TRX to brief corrective pressure before any recovery.

Source: TradingView

Buyers regain control as futures taker CVD turns dominant
On the derivatives front, the 90-day Futures Taker CVD shows Taker Buy dominance, meaning buy orders currently outweigh sell orders. 

This pattern indicates increasing accumulation among futures traders and a shift toward positive sentiment. 

Historically, similar readings have preceded rallies as leveraged traders align with spot market strength. 

The renewed buy-side activity implies that institutional and speculative investors are positioning for an upward reversal. 

However, if momentum weakens, this buying enthusiasm may fade quickly, signaling the need for TRX to maintain higher open interest consistency.

Binance traders favor long positions despite market caution
Data from Binance shows that long accounts represent 60.47% of total positions, with short accounts making up 39.53%, at press time. 

The resulting 1.53 long-to-short ratio underscores a clear bullish bias. This optimism, combined with strong taker-buy readings, suggests traders expect a recovery from current support. 

However, sentiment remains fragile given recent volatility, and any decline in long exposure could pressure TRX’s near-term price action. 

Nonetheless, the alignment of spot accumulation and derivatives confidence reinforces that the market still anticipates higher valuations in the coming sessions.

Can TRX reignite its rally toward $0.40?
Tron’s steady growth in active addresses and strong on-chain activity suggests a solid foundation for long-term value appreciation.

If TRX holds above the key $0.31 support level and positive sentiment in the derivatives market continues, a rebound toward the $0.37–$0.40 range looks achievable.

However, if TRX breaks below this support, the correction could deepen before bullish momentum returns. Still, with Futures traders showing optimism and fundamentals improving, Tron’s recovery prospects remain strong as we head into 2026.

Quick Facts:

1️⃣ Chinese AI chatbot DeepSeek predicts $SOL could exceed $500 this year, citing the possibility of a bull run, network upgrades, and likely ETF approval.

2️⃣ Analysts point to strong market momentum, upcoming scalability upgrades, and a 99% ETF approval probability – each of which make $SOL look primed for a major rally.

3️⃣ If all goes according to plan, crypto projects building on Solana, such as Snorter Token, could be perfectly positioned for a major boost.

DeepSeek is betting big on Solana’s future trajectory, citing it could exceed $500 this year – nearly a 150% gain compared to its current $203 price tag.

The Chinese AI tool believes the #3 largest crypto could break this level following ‘a massive crypto bull run, successful upgrades, and the potential greenlight of Solana ETFs.’

If $SOL rallies as anticipated, it spells excellent news for crypto projects building on the Solana network, like Snorter Token ($SNORT).

Is Another Crypto Bull Run Incoming?
DeepSeek analyzes the World Wide Web in real time, and thus its findings carry serious weight.

A crypto bull run would, of course, set the stage for $SOL’s most explosive growth phase yet.

While $BTC is down at $112K following $19B in recent liquidations, it’s not all doom and gloom for the industry.

Take the analysts CryptoQuant and Glassnode, for instance. They point to a surge in $USDT supply, large-scale whale buys, and steady ETF inflows as bullish indicators of growing strength across the market.

Suggesting to prosperous times for $SOL alone, however, is its ambitious 2025 roadmap.

Solana Plans to Cut Transaction Finality to Just 150ms
At the heart of Solana’s upcoming developments is Firedancer, a new validator client developed by Jump Crypto.

With the SIMD-0370 update, the system is expected to slash transaction finality from roughly 12.8 seconds to just 150 milliseconds.

Source: X (SolanaFloor)
And that’s not all. Solana plans to double its block space and implement a new consensus algorithm that eliminates vote transactions, increases throughput, and shortens block times – each of which would significantly boost the network’s efficiency.

On the institutional front, Solana’s leadership is actively engaging with major financial players and policymakers. One such example is the Solana Policy Institute.

The ultimate aim of the Institute is to educate policymakers on how decentralized networks like Solana are the future of the digital economy, plus why the people building on and using them need legal clarity to succeed.

Additionally, supporting the network’s growth are projects like Helix’s RPS 2.0 and Confidential Transfers.

The former is designed to decouple Solana’s read and write layers to address the network’s bottlenecks. Meanwhile, the latter introduces privacy-preserving transactions to attract institutional users who care about confidentiality and regulatory compliance.

Not to mention, there’s also the potential for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to approve a Solana ETF this year.

According to Polymarket data, traders are betting big on a 99% probability, underscoring just how confident the market is in Solana’s next major milestone.

Each of these developments is nothing short of fantastic news for $SNORT.

Snorter Bot to Offer Low 0.85% Trading Fees on Solana
$SNORT is the foundation of Snorter Bot, a Telegram trading bot that’s preparing to go live on Solana this quarter.

It’s under development to give traders an advantage in the fast-paced crypto sector. By initially being built on Solana, it promises that it’ll deliver high execution speeds and trading fees as low as 0.85% (that’s provided you buy some $SNORT).

After Solana serves as the bot’s launchpad, it sets out to expand across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and other EVM-compatible networks. In doing so, you’ll be able to partake in various types of investments, not just the best Solana meme coins.

Whether you’re eyeing the next crypto to explode or want to learn the basics of crypto trading, Snorter Bot will offer lots of services to help you make smarter trading decisions.

Its automated sniping tool, for instance, means you’ll be able to secure early entries as soon as they go live.

Meanwhile, its copy trading feature is super helpful if you’re a crypto newbie. This is because it’ll allow you to capitalize on the moves of top-performing wallets without technical know-how.

And all will be offered without the bot compromising on security. It’ll be MEV protected and include rugpull and honeypot alerts. This way, you’ll be safeguarded against common crypto scams around the clock.

Buy SNORT Today for Possible 771% Gains
$SNORT is behind it all, powering every aspect of the bot and its future trajectory. Ensuring sustainable growth is a quarter of its total token supply being earmarked for development.

But buying $SNORT on presale doesn’t just mean supporting the project’s evolution; it opens exclusive benefits – leaderboard rewards, a staking APY up to 108% (if you join now), and DAO governance.

You can reap the perks by joining the presale for as little as $0.1079, using either $SOL, $ETH, $USDT, $USDC, $BNB, or fiat.

With Solana’s network heating up and Snorter Bot poised to launch on it, there might not be any better time to get involved.

This is especially true when considering that our Snorter Bot price prediction foresees $SNORT reaching $0.94 this year. As such, joining now at its current price could generate 771% gains – that’s provided that it successfully launches on the best crypto exchanges.

Buy $HYPER before its price spikes.

Disclaimer: This isn’t investment advice. Always DYOR and don’t invest more than you’re willing to lose. Crypto can be highly volatile.

BNB Attestation Service (BAS) rallied to a new all-time high after whales continued their accumulation. BAS is still an early-stage token, currently promoting its influence in the Binance ecosystem.

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest filed for several new Bitcoin ETFs, including yield-generating and downside-buffered versions.

Summary

Ark Invest filed several new Bitcoin ETF proposals with the U.S. SEC
Finings include Bitcoin Yield ETF and ARK DIET Bitcoin 1 & 2 ETFs
Investors are increasingly concerned about downside risks for BTC

Cathie Wood’s Ark Invest is doubling down on Bitcoin, filing several ETFs with specialized strategies. On Tuesday, October 14, Ark Invest filed for the Bitcoin Yield ETF and ARK DIET Bitcoin 1 and 2 ETFs with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The new ETFs will focus on yield and risk mitigation, giving institutions more flexibility when it comes to BTC exposure.

Cathie Wood and Ark Invest filed multiple new Bitcoin ETFs today (October 14, 2025):

– ARK Bitcoin Yield ETF
– ARK DIET Bitcoin 1 ETFs (Q1–Q4)
– ARK DIET Bitcoin 2 ETFs (Q1–Q4)

All filings are preliminary prospectuses under the ARK ETF Trust pic.twitter.com/bpXszQg1z3

— Ark Invest Tracker (@ArkkDaily) October 15, 2025

The strategies for Ark Invest’s new ETFs are simple. For one, the ARK Bitcoin Yield ETF targets investors who want cash flows from their BTC holdings. Filings suggest that these ETFs may use options-based strategies such as writing covered calls to generate yield, while maintaining BTC exposure.

At the same time, ARK Defined Income Exposure & Target (DIET) Bitcoin ETFs target risk-averse investors who want downside protection. Namely, DIET 1 ETF offers 50% downside protection, while gain participation is triggered only after BTC rises 5% over the quarter. On the other hand, DIET 2 ETF offers 10% loss protection and shares in gains when Bitcoin is up 0% in the quarter.

Ark Invest’s Bitcoin ETFs bet on institutional demand
Filings come after the SEC moved to streamline crypto ETF approvals, slashing approval time to 75 days or less. Before this move, the SEC’s decision could take more than 240 days, with delays frequently extending this timeline even further.

Moreover, this comes just after the crypto market crash, which wiped out $1 trillion in market value. With institutional investors increasingly worried about potential volatility, Ark Invest’s ETFs with downside protection could help attract more capital to Bitcoin.

ART26.12 Phase 1 Data Demonstrated No Safety Concerns, Predictable Linear Plasma Exposure, and Options for Dosing in Either Fed or Fasted Conditions 

ART27.13 Interim Phase 2 Data Showed Substantial Weight Gain and Activity Improvements in the Treated Patients versus Placebo

SOLANA BEACH, Calif., Oct. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Artelo Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARTL), a clinical-stage pharmaceutical company focused on modulating lipid-signaling pathways to develop treatments for people living with cancer, pain, dermatologic, or neurological conditions, today announced that Professor Saoirse O’Sullivan, Vice President of Translational Sciences at Artelo Biosciences, is presenting expanded data from Artelo’s lead Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) inhibitor, ART26.12, Single Ascending Dose (SAD) Study at the 8th Annual Cannabinoid & Endocannabinoid Drug Development Summit, taking place October 15–16, 2025, in Boston, Massachusetts. In addition, Professor O’Sullivan will be giving additional insights on ART27.13 development progress in cancer-related anorexia with interim data from the Phase 2 portion of the Cancer Appetite Recovery Study (CAReS).

During the presentation titled Exploring the Clinical Development of the Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) Inhibitor ART26.12, Professor O’Sullivan plans to share findings from the Company’s SAD study and preliminary food effect investigation with ART26.12, which evaluated the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of its FABP5 inhibitor in healthy volunteers. The SAD study demonstrated that ART26.12 at single doses up to 1050 milligrams was safe and well tolerated. Importantly, ART26.12 exhibited predictable linear dose exposure and showed potential dosing flexibility in either fed or fasted states for future studies. These findings support Artelo’s belief that advancement of ART26.12 into multiple ascending dose and proof-of-principle pain studies is warranted.

In addition, Professor O’Sullivan will discuss detailed interim data from the CAReS Phase 2 study. In CAReS, Artelo is evaluating ART27.13, the Company’s proprietary dual cannabinoid agonist, versus placebo in a randomized and blinded comparison in cancer patients experiencing anorexia and weight loss. Initial findings show patients receiving up to 1300 micrograms daily on average gained over 6% in weight versus placebo participants losing an additional 5%. Despite receiving up to twice the maximum dose delivered in the Phase 1 stage of CAReS, the safety profile in Phase 2 to date has been similar and well-tolerated. ART27.13 is uniquely positioned as the most clinically advanced small-molecule, orally administered once-daily treatment in development for cancer anorexia. Impacting up to 80% of late-stage cancer patients, currently there are no approved treatments in the US, UK or EU.

Regarding Artelo’s innovation leadership and progress in cannabinoid and lipid-signaling therapeutics development, Professor Saoirse O'Sullivan stated, "Having spent my entire career researching the potential medical benefits of modifying the endocannabinoid system, it is gratifying as a scientist and affirming of our research initiatives to be at the Cannabinoid & Endocannabinoid Drug Development Summit presenting two positive clinical studies for two of Artelo’s development candidates that have the potential to impact the devastating effects of peripheral neuropathic pain and anorexia and cachexia syndrome for people living with cancer." 

About ART26.12
ART26.12, Artelo’s lead Fatty Acid Binding Protein 5 (FABP5) inhibitor, is under development as a novel, peripherally acting, non-opioid, non-steroidal analgesic, initially for the treatment of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) under an investigational new drug application opened with the FDA. Fatty Acid Binding Proteins (FABPs) are a family of intracellular proteins that chaperone lipids important to normal cellular function. FABP is overexpressed and associated with abnormal lipid signaling in a number of pathologies. In addition to ART26.12 in CIPN, Artelo’s extensive library of small molecule inhibitors of FABPs has shown therapeutic promise for the treatment of certain cancers, neuropathic and nociceptive pain, psoriasis, and anxiety disorders.

About ART27.13
ART27.13 is a novel benzimidazole derivative being developed as a once-daily, orally administered agent selectively targeting peripheral CB1 and CB2 receptors, with the potential to improve body weight, appetite, muscle degeneration, and quality of life in cancer patients. Initially developed by AstraZeneca plc, ART27.13 has been in seven clinical studies with over 280 participants. A statistically significant and dose-dependent increase in body weight was observed in people with back pain who were otherwise healthy. Importantly, the drug enables systemic metabolic effects while minimizing central nervous system-mediated toxicity. Having completed a Phase 1 study in cancer patients where ART27.13 demonstrated an excellent safety profile, Artelo is conducting a Phase 2 trial as a supportive care therapy for cancer patients suffering from anorexia and weight loss. Currently, there is no FDA approved treatment for cancer anorexia cachexia syndrome.

About CAReS
The Cancer Appetite Recovery Study (CAReS) is a Phase 1/2 randomized, placebo-controlled trial of the Company’s lead clinical program, ART27.13, in patients with cancer anorexia and weight loss. Cancer-related anorexia, or the lack or loss of appetite in the person with cancer, may result from the cancer and/or its treatment with radiation or chemotherapy. It is common for people with cancer to lose weight. Anorexia and the resulting weight loss can affect a patient’s health, often weakening their immune system and causing discomfort and dehydration. A weight loss of more than 5% can predict a poor outcome for cancer patients and a lower response to chemotherapy. The Phase 1 portion of the CAReS study was designed to determine the most effective and safest initial dose of ART27.13 in the Phase 2 stage. The Phase 2 portion of the CAReS study is designed to determine estimates of activity of ART27.13 in terms of lean body mass, weight gain, and improvement of anorexia compared to placebo.
