Market Signal Briefing

TL;DR

House of Doge began trading on Nasdaq after merging with Brag House Holdings (TBH), marking its formal entry into traditional capital markets.
CEO Marco Margiotta said access to new capital will accelerate the development of global payment infrastructure built around the memecoin.
Investors include Rick Perry, the Steinbrenner family, Mario Nawfal, and several NHL players, alongside support from Alex Spiro.

House of Doge began trading today on Nasdaq following a reverse merger with Brag House Holdings (ticker: TBH), a company focused on the college online gaming sector.

The transaction marks the formal entry of the memecoin’s corporate structure into traditional capital markets, aiming to strengthen token adoption within the conventional financial system.

New Capital to Develop a Payment Network
CEO Marco Margiotta explained that listing on the stock exchange will provide access to the capital needed to accelerate the development of a Dogecoin-based payment infrastructure. He said the expansion of funding will be key to scaling payment solutions over a shorter timeframe. The initiative is backed by Alex Spiro, Elon Musk’s personal attorney, along with several institutional investors and public figures.

Key investors include former Texas Governor Rick Perry, the Steinbrenner family (owners of the New York Yankees), entrepreneur Mario Nawfal, and several current and retired NHL players such as Tyler Seguin, Jason Arnott, and Ales Hemsky.

House of Doge was founded in early 2025 and has launched several projects aimed at introducing Dogecoin into traditional finance and mainstream consumer markets. It is also a key partner of CleanCore, a fund with a treasury backed by the memecoin valued at $170 million and listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

Awaiting the Dogecoin Spot ETF
Together with 21Shares, the company has filed an application to list a Dogecoin spot ETF, which could be approved before the end of the year. It is also working with 21Shares and Robinhood on new yield-generating products and alternative investment vehicles based on the memecoin.

The company also plans to expand the tokenization of popular culture assets, starting with the sports world, aiming to connect the Dogecoin community with other fan groups. According to Margiotta, this combination of culture, entertainment, and crypto is a strategic channel to expand the token’s utility and visibility.

Going public will allow the company to pursue its expansion plan more aggressively than it could as a private entity. Margiotta concluded that growing Dogecoin’s utility should ultimately benefit all holders

TL;DR

MicroStrategy now holds a total of 640,250 BTC. Its Bitcoin account is valued at $47 billion.
The massive investment comes amid a recovery in Bitcoin’s price, which has surpassed $114,000.
Michael Saylor maintains his firm conviction: Bitcoin is the primary long-term reserve asset.

Saylor has once again demonstrated his unwavering confidence in the pioneer cryptocurrency. MicroStrategy, under the leadership of Michael Saylor, has announced another massive Bitcoin acquisition. The company has raised its total holdings to the impressive figure of 640,250 BTC.

This solidifies its position as the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. This portfolio was accumulated at a total cost of approximately $47.38 billion, with an average purchase price of around $74,000 per Bitcoin.

A Purchase Taking Advantage of the Market

This latest Bitcoin purchase by MicroStrategy comes at an opportune moment, coinciding with a notable market recovery. Following a recent correction, the price of Bitcoin has rebounded, currently trading at around $114,542, an increase of 2.4% in the last 24 hours.

Experts highlight that BTC’s ability to stay above the key level of $110,000, supported by steady inflows into spot ETFs, is strengthening the confidence of both institutional and retail investors.

Michael Saylor, the firm’s executive chairman, reaffirmed his strategic vision, positioning Bitcoin as a superior reserve asset to gold and fiat currencies for hedging against inflation. “Our commitment to Bitcoin remains unchanged,” Saylor stated, emphasizing the strength of his long-term accumulation strategy.

The market’s reaction was immediate: the company’s stock (MSTR) rose to $306.85 following the announcement, indicating that shareholders support the bold strategy. The persistent purchasing of Bitcoin by MicroStrategy is seen by many as a bullish signal, suggesting that large institutions consider current price levels an attractive entry point, further consolidating corporate adoption of the digital asset.

Hyperliquid is activating its HIP-3 upgrade on Monday, introducing permissionless perpetual market creation on its decentralized derivatives platform.

Summary

HIP-3 allows builders to deploy perpetual futures markets on HyperCore by staking 500,000 HYPE tokens.
The upgrade follows a $19.3 billion market-wide liquidation event, with $10 billion cleared on Hyperliquid alone.
HYPE price has rebounded from $20 to $42, aiming to break above the $45 resistance aligned with its 20-day SMA.

Hyperliquid (HYPE) is set to take a major leap toward decentralization with the activation of HIP-3 (Hyperliquid Improvement Proposal 3) upgrade.

According to an announcement shared in Hyperliquid’s official Discord, the network upgrade will go live on Oct. 13, and will include HIP-3. While there will be no immediate impact for existing users, builders who meet the on-chain criteria can begin deploying their own perpetual markets once preparations are complete.

Under HIP-3, deployers can launch decentralized perpetual exchanges on the HyperCore infrastructure by staking 500,000 HYPE tokens. The system integrates with HyperEVM, providing smart contract support and governance capabilities. To ensure market integrity, the proposal introduces safeguards such as validator slashing mechanisms and open interest caps.

A minimum viable product of this feature was previously live on testnet, and today marks its official mainnet rollout.

HYPE recovers as Hyperliquid weathers $10B liquidation
The HIP-3 rollout comes just days after one of the most turbulent weekends in crypto markets this year, sparked by renewed global trade tensions. A massive leverage flush across major exchanges wiped out roughly $19.3 billion in positions, with over $10 billion in liquidations occurring on Hyperliquid alone, according to Coinglass data.

Meanwhile, Hyperliquid’s native token HYPE is staging a strong rebound after last week’s drop to the $20 level. Now trading near $40, the token is attempting to reclaim the ascending trendline support, now acting as resistance, that has guided price action since late May. The $45 zone, aligning with the 20-day SMA, remains the short-term resistance. A successful breakout above it could set the stage for a move toward $52, corresponding to the most recent swing high.

XRP is back in motion. After weeks of consolidation and uncertainty, the digital asset has seen billions flow back into the market. The scale of inflows underscores a sharp turnaround in sentiment from hesitation to conviction as market participants rotate capital back into one of crypto’s most established names. With liquidity deepening and momentum rebuilding, XRP is once again showing why it remains a cornerstone of the digital finance narrative.

How Confidence Returned To The XRP Market
According to an analysis posted by the popular cryptocurrency commentary channel, CryptosRus, confidence is returning to the market, and XRP is leading the rebound. More than $30 billion has flowed back into the altcoin as investors buy the dip.

The surge of capital directly counters the massive market contraction that occurred during Thursday’s violent sell-off, which wiped out over $400 billion in total crypto market value, marking one of the largest liquidation events of 2025.

However, where many digital assets struggled to find a floor, XRP was among the first major altcoins to flash signs of strength, signaling that investors view the previous crash as a temporary rather than a structural breakdown. This renewed appetite for the leading altcoin also comes as speculation grows around a potential Spot XRP ETF approval, a catalyst that could reshape institutional exposure to the asset class.

Monstrous Liquidation Event Clears The Board For XRP’s Next Leg
In a technical charge, following a violent market-cleansing event that shattered over-leveraged positions, a popular crypto commentator, DustyBC Crypto, has noted that XRP has officially completed its Elliott wave (E) formation on the 12-hour chart. The monstrous liquidation event occurred after the geopolitical saber-rattling from US President Donald Trump sent a shocking wave through the entire crypto market, especially on the XRP chart, which led the price to extreme lows before a violent recovery.

Dusty stated that the cascading liquidations wiped out overleveraged players. Although for those trading 1:1 without leverage, it was a shock, not a knockout. The event effectively flushed out excess leverage, leaving behind a cleaner market structure and a more stable foundation for the next leg upward.

Despite the liquidation flush out, XRP has now swept through multiple historical zones, areas that would typically take months to revisit, clearing out resistance and resetting bullish sentiment. With the Wave E formed and D yet to be punctured, the commentator suggests that patience remains key, but the dip has already played out, and the next major target remains $4.00.

The XRP price recovery came after the most severe market crash, suggesting aggressive buying on the dips in anticipation of further price gains.

Key takeaways:

XRP rebounded 66% from $2.58 lows, adding $75 billion to its market cap amid a 35% volume surge and strong long positions.

Oversold weekly Stoch RSI signals a potential bullish reversal.

The XRP price must overcome resistance at $2.70-$2.96 before the next leg up.

XRP (XRP) dipped below the $2 mark on Friday, hitting a 10-month low of $1.58 on Bitstamp after President Trump’s 100% tariffs on Chinese imports sent shockwaves across the crypto market.

XRP price has, however, recovered most of its losses. It’s up over 7% today, recouping $75 billion in market capitalization since the crash.

This recovery has also seen XRP price reclaim the 200-day simple moving average (SMA) (purple line). This trendline served as support in the April market crash, after which the price rallied 54%.

XRP market capitalization. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewXRP’s daily trading volume has also surged more than 35% over the past 24 hours to $11.5 billion, signaling aggressive dip-buying as traders reposition for the next macro catalysts.

The bullishness was also seen in the derivatives market, where trading volume has jumped by more than 44% over the last 24 hours to $12.2 billion, and open interest has increased by 7.6% to $4.1 billion as prices recovered.

Which way next for XRP?The Stochastic RSI is extremely oversold at 8 on the weekly chart, suggesting that a rebound could be in the cards.

The stochastic RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the relative strength index‘s value relative to its high/low range over a period, helping traders identify overbought and oversold conditions and potential reversals.

Previous instances have shown that such oversold levels on the Stochastic RSI often precede sharp rises in the XRP price. The altcoin’s gains were 486% between November and December 2024 and 91% between June and August 2025.

“XRP’s weekly Stoch RSI has revisited oversold levels, hinting a strong bullish reversal is on the cards,” said analyst Chart Nerd in a Friday X post, adding:

“On all occasions since July 2024, the Stoch RSI has marked a local bottom before a macro move higher. $5 is next.”XRP/USD weekly chart. Source: Cointelegraph/TradingViewXRP now faces resistance at the $2.70-$2.80 level, previously a support area and a critical zone where approximately 3.8 billion XRP were acquired, according to Glassnode. 

Another level to watch on the upside is the $2.88-$2.95 supply zone, where both the 50-day and 100-day simple moving averages currently sit.

For analyst CryptoBull, a weekly close above the 2025 uptrend line signals that XRP remains “extremely bullish.”

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage took to the stage at DAS London this morning and promised that, should his party enter government, it would oversee a process of deregulation in the country’s crypto space.

During his appearance, Farage touted his party’s “Cryptoassets and Digital Finance Bill,” unveiled in May and criticized the management of the UK financial service sector by the Conservative Party and Labour Party. 

“It’s been completely neglected by both the last government and by this government, and I want to regenerate it. I want to make London back to being a great trading center and that includes [the crypto] space,” he told attendees.

Reform UK’s draft bill proposed cutting capital gains tax on crypto to 10%, establishing a bitcoin reserve at the Bank of England, and tightening rules against account closures based on lawful digital-asset activity.

“We have to get the tax burden right,” he said of Reform UK’s broader economic plans, decrying a “flight of capital, the flight of brains” to other countries. 

Farage’s pledges come as the major UK political parties fight over the direction of the country’s economy, amid a period of slowing growth and deteriorating government finances. Recent polls, per Politico EU, show Reform performing above the other parties, including the governing Labour Party. 

The comments also come amid shifts in the regulatory landscape for crypto in the UK. Late last month, UK and US officials announced the creation of a new collaborative task force intended, in part, to harmonize crypto rules.

Meanwhile, Bank of England chief Andrew Bailey has pushed for major stablecoins to be closely regulated in the country. According to Reuters, he remarked on Oct. 1 that “widely used UK stablecoins should have access to accounts at the BoE in order to reinforce their status as money.” Bailey has long argued that regulators must closely monitor and enforce rules around stablecoins.

This is a developing story.

The selloff knifed through mid-range support, tagging the $3,840–$3,500 demand zone (multiple green arrows), then reversed hard.Price has reclaimed the $4,000 handle and is pressing into the $4,350 area, which aligns with the 50-day SMA (~$4,354) and prior horizontal resistance (~$4,356–$4,357).Candles show long lower wicks on the lows, hinting at aggressive dip buying. Momentum now hinges on whether bulls can convert $4,350 into support.

(As always, headlines can change quickly; levels above remain the actionables regardless of news.)

Ethereum Price Prediction (Near Term)Bullish Scenario (Base Case while > $3,840)Break & hold above $4,350–$4,360 → momentum trigger.Targets:

$4,500 (round + supply pocket)$4,800 (pre-$5k supply)$5,000 (psychological magnet / extension)Invalidation for this path: a daily close back below $4,000 increases chop risk; below $3,840 flips bias neutral-to-bearish.

Bearish/Defense Scenario (If Macro Sours or $4,350 Rejects)First downside catchers: $4,000, then $3,840.Loss of $3,840 opens a $3,500 test.If selling accelerates, $3,200–$3,130 (200D SMA) is the pivotal trend guardrail.Worst case (capitulation): a spike toward $2,730 before buyers likely defend higher-time-frame structure.

Ethereum Trading Strategy NotesMomentum traders: look for a clean daily close above $4,350 and intraday retest/hold to target $4,500 → $4,800.Swing participants: accumulate on defended dips into $4,000–$3,840 with clear invalidation; add only if the level holds.Risk management: respect the 200D SMA (~$3,130) as trend litmus—persistent closes below it would shift the medium-term view.

BitMine, the world’s largest corporate Ether holder, capitalized on this weekend’s crypto market crash to buy the dip, signaling more institutional confidence in Ether’s continued momentum.

The company said it acquired Ether (ETH) “more aggressively” during the market turmoil, pushing its total holdings past 3 million ETH, or about 2.5% of the cryptocurrency’s total supply. BitMine’s average purchase price was $4,154 per token.

Over the past few days, BitMine acquired 202,037 ETH, worth approximately $827 million, the company announced in a Monday X post.

This brings BitMine’s total holdings to $13.4 billion, which includes $12.9 billion in crypto and “moonshots” holdings, 192 Bitcoin (BTC), $104 million in cash and a $135 million stake in Nasdaq-listed technology company Eightco Holdings.

Source: BitMineBitMine’s aggressive buying may influence other corporate crypto treasuries to adopt a similar long-term accumulation strategy.

BitMine’s acquisitions come as the cryptocurrency market experienced a drastic correction on Friday, which led to a $19 billion liquidation event over the weekend. 

BitMine accelerates Ether accumulation planThe latest purchases bring BitMine “halfway” toward fulfilling its treasury goals.

“The crypto liquidation over the past few days created a price decline in ETH, which BitMine took advantage of,” said Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine and head of research at Fundstrat.

“We are now more than halfway towards our initial pursuit of the ‘alchemy of 5%’ of ETH.”“Volatility creates deleveraging, and this can cause assets to trade at substantial discounts to fundamentals, or as we say, ‘substantial discount to the future,’ and this creates advantages for investors, at the expense of traders,” Lee added.

BitMine’s stock is also gaining interest among traditional investors.

Source: BitMineBMNR was the 22nd most widely traded stock on US markets, based on its average five-day trading volume of over $3.5 billion, as of Oct. 10.

However, BitMine’s stock price fell 11% over the past five days, according to Google Finance data. The decline occurred days after Kerrisdale Capital took a short position on BMNR on Wednesday, after criticizing the company’s business model for being “on its way to extinction.”

Magazine: Bitcoin to see ‘one more big thrust’ to $150K, ETH pressure builds

Crypto just flushed out a minimum of $16,000,000,000 in liquidations as Bitcoin slipped as low as $102,000 and dragged majors with it, XRP/BTC printed one of the ugliest candles of the year — dipping under 0.000019 BTC before snapping back above 0.0000225 BTC — and the chart still looks like someone pulled the floor out from everyone for a few hours straight.

While thousands of traders got wiped on leverage, DonAlt — the same trader who months ago predicted XRP could run 700% from $0.50 into the $3.50 zone — somehow avoided a single hit.

Asked directly if he had closed at those highs, he answered that he only cares about closes and is still holding everything, no hedges, no stops, just spot.

People know my positioning, I literally moved across the world so simply got lucky this time around

— DonAlt (@CryptoDonAlt) October 13, 2025 That is what kept the popular trader alive in a week where almost everyone else bled. "People know my positioning, I literally moved across the world so simply got lucky this time around," admitted DonAlt, revealing it was not some genius strategy but simply not being overexposed while the market erased billions.

Luck receiptNow with XRP reclaiming breakdown levels and majors like ETH and SOL trying to follow, DonAlt's timeline looks like a repeat of what he has been saying for months: spot, patience and no overtrading. When the crash came, that was enough.

The trader who called XRP's seven-fold move did not beat the $16 billion crash by timing it; he survived it because he never played the game that got everyone else liquidated. And of course, luck itself performed its little magic.

PI price rebounds from its $0.1533 low, posting steady gains as buying momentum returns across the crypto market. Elder-Ray Index at -0.0482 signals fading sell pressure, while BoP at 0.63 confirms growing bullish conviction. A breakout above $0.2573 could push PI toward $0.2917, though weak accumulation risks a retest of $0.1533.Pi Network’s native token PI has bounced back sharply after plunging to an all-time low of $0.1533 during last Friday’s market crash. Over the past three days, the altcoin has defied broader bearish sentiment, recording steady gains as traders begin to re-enter the market.

Technical indicators suggest that buying momentum is building, positioning PI to potentially break above its previous resistance levels.

PI Coin Shows Early Signs of a Bullish Reversal Readings from the PI/USD daily chart show that the red bars of its Elder-Ray Index have steadily shrunk over the past few sessions, signaling a gradual reduction in sell-side pressure. As of this writing, this momentum indicator is at -0.0482.

This pattern usually precedes a bullish trend reversal or short-term rally, especially when supported by other bullish signals.

In PI’s case, its positive Balance of Power (BoP) reading supports this bullish outlook. At press time, this is at 0.59 and in an upward trend, signalling the growing buy-side conviction among traders.

PI BoP. Source: TradingViewThe BoP indicator measures the strength of buyers versus sellers in a market. BoP readings range between -1 and +1, with values closer to +1 reflecting strong buying pressure and values near -1 indicating intense selling pressure.

PI’s current BoP value of 0.59 reflects a gradual return of bullish sentiment among token holders. The indicator’s upward trend implies that more market participants are accumulating the altcoin rather than taking profits.

PI Coin’s Reversal Takes ShapeTogether, these trends show a gradual shift in market sentiment toward PI. If PI’s price maintains this trajectory, a breakout above the $0.2573 resistance could confirm the reversal and set the stage for a move toward the $0.2917 target zone.

Ripple collaborates with Immunefi to engage security experts globally for the XRPL Lending Protocol.

Ripple and Immunefi have announced a strategic collaboration to boost the security of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) Lending Protocol, in a broader push to position it as an institutional-grade settlement layer.

The partnership was unveiled on October 13 and introduces an “Attackathon” designed to stress-test the proposed XRPL Lending Protocol ahead of its expected validator vote later this year. Through this initiative, top-tier Web3 security researchers from around the world are invited to identify vulnerabilities in the protocol, competing for a $200,000 prize pool.

XRPL Goes Institutional
According to the official press release shared with CryptoPotato, in addition to the bug-hunting competition, the Attackathon Academy will provide participants with targeted training on XRPL technology, running from October 13 to November 29.

The XRPL Lending Protocol itself represents a major step in Ripple’s enterprise-focused blockchain strategy, offering pooled lending and underwritten credit natively on the XRPL. The system is designed to automate the full loan lifecycle, from issuance to repayment, while linking borrowers to global liquidity sources and enabling lenders to earn yield on idle assets.

By integrating with existing risk and compliance processes, the protocol aims to improve transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in credit markets.

In a statement, Jasmine Cooper, Head of Product at RippleX, said,

“XRPL was designed to support secure, real-world financial applications, and that’s especially important as lending is introduced to the network. This initiative is about making sure the proposed Lending Protocol is thoroughly tested and resilient before launch, so developers and institutions can build with confidence. Partnering with Immunefi allows us to work with some of the top security researchers to help strengthen this new layer of XRPL’s DeFi infrastructure.”

XRPL Sees Strong September Activity
September 2025 was a busy month for the XRPL ecosystem with product improvements, compliance milestones, and community growth. As reported by CryptoPotato, self-custody cryptocurrency wallet Joey Wallet simplified onboarding, integrating MoonPay, First Ledger, and XRPCafe, while XRPScan introduced an amendment voting timeline for transparency in validator decisions. Xaman Wallet 4.2.1 removed trustline requirements and allowed seamless token transfers and MoonPay Sell integration for full fiat-to-XRP flows.

On compliance, the Credentials amendment went live, enabling decentralized on-chain identity verification for regulated interactions. DeFi and gaming also saw progress. Gamechain went live on testnet through XRPL Commons partnerships, and the XRPL Commons Aquarium Residency welcomed builders from 11 countries.

BitMine's total crypto and cash holdings have now hit $12.9 billion, and the company owns more than 2.5% of Ethereum's circulating supply.

The protocol is expected to go to a validator vote later this year, introducing pooled lending and underwritten credit natively on the XRPL.

Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy), the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, is back with another big buy. 

The Bitcoin-focused firm, led by Michael Saylor, has expanded its Bitcoin holdings once again, even as the crypto market faced heavy turbulence.

Strategy Adds 220 BTC to Its TreasuryStrategy has purchased an additional 220 Bitcoin at an average price of $123,561 per coin during the recent market dip. 

With this new purchase, Strategy now holds a total of 640,250 Bitcoin, currently valued at approximately $79 billion. It has also achieved a Bitcoin yield of 25.9% year-to-date (YTD). 

The disclosure also revealed that Strategy sold shares of STRF, STRD, and STRK, raising $19.8 million, $5.8 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. The proceeds from these sales were used to fund the company’s latest Bitcoin purchases. 

Notably, Saylor had hinted at this new Bitcoin buy a day earlier.

Strategy Resumes Bitcoin BuysThe latest Bitcoin purchase comes after the crypto market saw record-breaking liquidations. Bitcoin’s price had plunged down to nearly $105k levels before marking a slight recovery.

This acquisition marks the company’s return to its regular buying schedule after a brief pause last week. For the quarter ending September 30, the company reported an unrealized gain of $3.89 billion on its digital assets, with a deferred tax expense of $1.12 billion. As of the same date, the carrying value of the company’s digital assets was $73.21 billion, accompanied by a deferred tax liability of $7.43 billion.

Now, MSTR is trading around $307 in premarket hours. The stock has dropped nearly 16% in the last five days. 

Other Firms Are Also Buying the DipAlongside Strategy, other firms also continued buying Bitcoin amidst the price dips. 

Marathon Digital (MARA), the leading Bitcoin miner purchased 400 BTC worth $46 million through FalconX, adding to its steadily growing treasury.

The London-listed Smarter Web Company also continued its steady accumulation under its “10 Year Plan.” It is UK’s largest publicly traded company holding Bitcoin on its balance sheet, and now holds a total of 2,650 Bitcoin.

XRP Ledger is closing in on 100 million ledgers, a historic milestone for the network, which launched in mid-2012. XRP Ledger dUNL validator Vet brings this fact to the spotlight in a recent tweet.

According to xrpscan data, the current ledger count is 99,490,488, with a remaining 509,512 for the XRP Ledger to reach the historic 100 million ledger milestone.

Good Morning to everyone, especially to those who made it possible over all the years to have us close soon the 100 million ledger mark on the XRPL. pic.twitter.com/fwrMUd3lMC

— Vet 🏴‍☠️ (@Vet_X0) October 13, 2025 The XRP Ledger first launched in June 2012, although its early development began in 2011 by the trio of David Schwartz, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto, who, fascinated with Bitcoin, sought to build a distributed ledger that improved upon its fundamental limitations, with the goal of creating a digital asset that was more sustainable and built specifically for payments.

This vision birthed XRP, currently the fifth largest cryptocurrency by market cap, according to CoinMarketCap data.

Michael Saylor, the executive chairman behind Strategy’s massive Bitcoin reserves, shared a short but powerful message on X: “Don’t Stop Believin’.” The post featured a dark Bitcoin chart titled “Bitcoin Price With Purchases” and drew millions of views within hours.

The phrase — a clear nod to the iconic 1980’s rock song “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey — carried a familiar message of perseverance, one that resonated deeply with Bitcoin supporters weathering market swings.

Bitcoin Holders Receive A Short Message
According to public records, Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) holds roughly 640,031 BTC, with an average cost basis near $73,981 per coin. That stockpile is now worth tens of billions of dollars on paper, depending on the market price at any moment.

Reports have disclosed that the firm logged nearly $4 billion in fair-value appreciation of its bitcoin holdings in the most recent quarter.

Don’t Stop ₿elievin’ pic.twitter.com/LUMroqLSCl

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) October 12, 2025

Saylor’s note was brief, but the numbers behind it are large. Strategy’s BTC position and the gains tied to it make any public remark from Saylor read not just as commentary but as a signal that a major corporate holder remains committed.

Market Reaction And Sentiment
Markets reacted in small but visible ways after the post. Strategy’s shares moved higher in premarket trading around the same time other headlines noted rising pressure on crypto markets and heavy liquidations.

Some outlets reported that around $19 billion vanished in recent crypto liquidations during a sharp sell-off, a backdrop that likely made Saylor’s message feel like a morale boost to some traders.

A few analysts and commentators took the tweet as a reminder that Strategy still views bitcoin as core to its balance sheet. Others read it as plain encouragement to holders: stay steady during volatility.

Based on reports, the firm did not add to its holdings in the prior week, even as bitcoin’s price rallied, a fact that some investors found noteworthy.

What The Message Could Signal
Short messages from high-profile holders sometimes precede action, and at other times they are purely rhetorical. Reports have noted both possibilities after this post.

Some crypto outlets suggested the tweet might hint at future accumulation; others framed it as a morale nudge amid a volatile session. Public company disclosures remain the reliable record for any fresh purchases.

What Investors Should Keep In Mind
The post is a public expression of confidence, not a directive to buy. According to filings and press coverage, Strategy’s bitcoin holdings and recent fair-value gains make Saylor’s voice influential, but actual investment decisions should be based on documented trades, earnings releases, and one’s own research.

Key NotesOver $446 million worth of altcoins are unlocking between October 13–20.FTN, CONX, ARB, and DRB lead major one-time unlocks, while SOL and WLD dominate linear releases.Analysts say Bitcoin’s dominance could soon peak.
The crypto market should brace for a potential wave of volatility as over $446 million worth of altcoins are set to unlock between Oct. 13 and Oct. 20, according to data from Tokenomist.

The releases are split between one-time and linear unlocks, with FTN leading the one-time unlocks, releasing 4.62% of its total supply (worth about $40.2 million).

According to Tokenomist, over the next 7 days, major one-time unlocks (over $5M) will include FTN, CONX, ARB, DRB, STRK, SEI, ZK, and APE. Major linear unlocks (over $1M per day) will involve SOL, TRUMP, WLD, DOGE, IP, AVAX, ASTER, TIA, SUI, ETHFI, DOT, TAO, and STBL. The total… pic.twitter.com/rSsjvCNhEJ

CONX will unlock $32.93 million (3%), and ARB will release 92.65 million tokens valued at $30.69 million (1.71%). DRB will unlock over 618 million tokens, 17.59% of its supply, though its total value remains modest at $18.28 million.

Other notable tokens seeing substantial unlocks include STRK, SEI, ZK, and APE.

Bitcoin dominance, currently hovering near key moving averages, could face resistance soon, potentially signaling the start of an altcoin resurgence.

The analyst compared this setup to historical phases following large-scale liquidation events, such as the COVID crash of March 2020 and the recent $19 billion liquidation.

Both events marked the start of new crypto bull cycles, where Bitcoin’s initial strength was followed by altcoin outperformance.

Altcoins Enter Low-Risk Accumulation Zone
Data from multiple risk models show that altcoins are currently in a low-risk accumulation phase. Gambardello highlighted that altcoin risk scores hover around 20, well below the overheated 80+ levels seen at previous market tops.

Ethereum, often seen as the pioneer for the broader altcoin rally, shows a risk score of just 47. As ETH

Bitcoin Hyper Raises $23.4 Million in Presale
While altcoins decide their next move, Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER) is drawing major attention during its ongoing presale. As excitement builds, the project is positioning itself as one of the most promising innovations in the Bitcoin ecosystem.

Bitcoin Hyper aims to address the network’s long-standing challenges, including slow transaction speeds, high fees, and the lack of native smart contract functionality.

The team behind Bitcoin Hyper is developing a next-generation Layer 2 solution that uses an optimized virtual machine to dramatically enhance transaction performance.

By processing transactions faster and at lower costs while remaining securely anchored to Bitcoin’s base layer, HYPER offers a seamless blend of scalability and security — two features that Bitcoin users have been demanding for years.

Investors are also being rewarded for their early confidence in the project. HYPER’s staking program offers 50% annual percentage yield (APY) on staked tokens, giving backers the chance to earn substantial passive rewards while supporting the network’s growth and decentralization.

HYPER Tokenomics and Presale Details
Bitcoin Hyper’s native token, HYPER serves as the network’s core utility asset. It powers essential functions such as transaction payments, staking rewards, and access to advanced features across the Layer 2 environment.

Currently, the token is priced at $0.013105, becoming one of the best penny crypto this season.

Shiba Inu secured enormous outflow from exchanges in last 24 hours, hinting at lack of selling pressure

For Shiba Inu, the last 24 hours have been chaotic, with over 408 billion SHIB tokens abruptly and unexpectedly draining liquidity from centralized exchanges. Because it happened during a widespread market crash, when the majority of investors were selling rather than withdrawing their holdings, this event is especially noteworthy.

SHIB's protocols wind downExchange inflows tend to increase during market-wide sell-offs as traders scramble to get rid of their positions. This time, though, SHIB witnessed the opposite: an atypical spike in withdrawals from significant exchanges. As a result, there may be a shift away from panic selling and toward accumulation, as more holders move their assets to cold storage or DeFi protocols (considering the market conjuncture, the last one is more likely).

SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewTechnically speaking, SHIB’s price action presents a conflicting image. The token hit a local low close to $0.0000075 before crashing violently below the $0.0000100 support, and then rising back toward $0.0000109. The volume recovery suggests potential stabilization, but the daily chart clearly breaks out of a descending wedge pattern. The 200-day moving average, which SHIB has used historically as a psychological support zone, is currently being tested for lower bounds. 

HOT Stories

SHIB's price analysisThe subsequent resistance is located between $0.0000126 and $0.0000134, which is the convergence area of the token’s 50-day and 100-day moving averages, if it is able to maintain above this level and draw consistent buying pressure.

Nonetheless, market sentiment is still brittle, in spite of the partial recovery. The Relative Strength Index (RSI), which is slightly above 41, indicates that bulls have little conviction and little momentum. The spike in exchange outflows may be a sign of confidence, in contrast to the general panic, as whales or long-term holders are using the crash to reposition.

For the time being, however, SHIB’s rally potential is limited unless on-chain activity and liquidity return. The exodus of 408 billion SHIB essentially highlights a paradox: although traders are alarmed by market volatility, the most patient investors might already be getting ready for the next stage of accumulation, discreetly and outside of exchanges.

Bitcoin price maintains strength above $114,000 as Strategy announces the purchase of 220 more BTC for $27.2 million, bringing its total holdings to 640,250 BTC. The purchase comes amid a broader trend of corporate treasury adoption, with multiple companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets.

Bitcoin price has recovered above $114,000 following Strategy’s latest Bitcoin purchase announcement, as corporate treasury adoption of Bitcoin continues to accelerate. The world’s largest corporate bitcoin holder revealed it acquired an additional 220 BTC for approximately $27.2 million, at an average price of $123,561 per bitcoin.

Strategy now holds 640,250 BTC worth, representing about 3.1% of Bitcoin’s total supply. The latest purchase was funded through proceeds from the company’s various at-the-market (ATM) offering programs, which raised $27.3 million during the period of October 6-12, 2025.

Strategy’s continued Bitcoin accumulation comes amid a broader trend of companies adding Bitcoin to their corporate treasuries. DDC Enterprise Limited recently completed a $124 million equity financing round to advance its bitcoin treasury strategy.

We’re seeing an unprecedented wave of corporate treasury adoption. Unlike previous cycles, firms are now directly adding Bitcoin into their corporate treasuries, treating it as a major store of value and hedge against inflation.

The acceleration in corporate Bitcoin adoption comes as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs continue to see strong inflows. BlackRock’s IBIT ETF recently surpassed 800,000 BTC in assets under management, valued at approximately $97 billion.

Strategy utilised multiple financing vehicles to fund its latest Bitcoin purchase, demonstrating the company’s sophisticated approach to building its Bitcoin position. The company raised $19.8 million through its STRF ATM program, $1.7 million via STRK ATM shares, and $5.8 million from STRD ATM offerings.

The company has established several significant ATM programs, including a $2.1 billion STRF program, $4.2 billion STRC program, $21 billion STRK program, $4.2 billion STRD program, and $21 billion MSTR common stock program, showcasing its commitment to continued Bitcoin acquisition.

Bitcoin’s price has shown resilience above $114,000, supported by growing institutional demand through both corporate treasury additions and ETF inflows.

The combination of corporate treasury adoption and ETF inflows is creating persistent structural demand. This cycle is distinctly different from previous ones, with institutions treating Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset.

The trend of companies adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets shows no signs of slowing, with more firms expected to announce treasury allocations in the coming months. This growing corporate adoption, combined with strong ETF demand and the upcoming Bitcoin halving, continues to support positive market sentiment.

Strategy’s latest purchase reinforces its position as the largest corporate Bitcoin holder and demonstrates the company’s long-term commitment to Bitcoin as a treasury reserve asset. As more companies follow suit, the corporate treasury trend appears to be evolving from an experimental approach to an established treasury management strategy, fundamentally changing how institutions view and interact with Bitcoin.

TL;DR

Hyperliquid has implemented the HIP-3 upgrade, allowing users to launch their own futures exchanges.
The new exchanges (vaults) will run in isolation, without affecting the main exchange’s liquidity.
The move aims to stimulate innovation and competition within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.

Hyperliquid, the decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has taken a bold step toward total decentralization. They have activated their HIP-3 improvement proposal, an update that allows any user or developer to launch their own perpetual futures exchanges on the platform’s infrastructure—a milestone that promises to transform the derivatives trading landscape.

Until now, creating trading platforms was reserved for teams with deep technical knowledge and significant resources. However, Hyperliquid’s new functionality removes these barriers, opening the door to a new era of innovation.

A New, Simplified Era of Innovation
The creation of decentralized futures exchanges, or “vaults” as the protocol calls them, is radically simplified. Each new market will be able to operate independently, with its own order book and liquidation manager. This ensures that its performance does not affect the liquidity or stability of Hyperliquid’s main exchange.

This “isolated markets” architecture is key, as it mitigates systemic risks. Vault creators will be able to list any asset they wish, from popular cryptocurrencies to niche tokens, without needing approval from the core Hyperliquid team. This approach fosters a more diverse and competitive ecosystem, where good ideas can thrive based on their own merit and community adoption.

With this move, Hyperliquid not only enhances its platform but also challenges the traditional model of centralized exchanges. The ease of creating decentralized futures exchanges could attract a new wave of developers and traders to the DeFi ecosystem, accelerating innovation and offering users a much wider range of options for speculation and risk hedging.

The community is eagerly watching to see how this democratization of trading will impact the sector’s dynamics in the coming months.

Key Takeaways
Why is Fartcoin rising again?
Whales accumulated 33 million tokens and Spot Netflows turned negative, showing renewed confidence and reduced selling pressure.

Can this uptrend continue?
The Stochastic RSI’s bullish crossover and 64% long dominance suggest buyers may push toward EMA20 at $0.59.

After dropping to a low of $0.17, Fartcoin [FARTCOIN] rebounded sharply, defending the $0.4 support before rising to $0.45 and stabilizing near $0.43 at press time. It marked a 25.24% daily gain.

Its market cap climbed 28.39% to $470 million, signaling renewed inflows after a volatile week.

But what’s behind the memecoin’s recovery?

Fartcoin whales turn buyers again
On the 11th of October, after panic selling earlier in the crash, whales returned to accumulate as prices steadied.

Data from Nansen showed the top 100 addresses boosted their balances by 27.57%, adding about 33 million tokens.

Source: Nansen

Typically, when large holders turn to accumulation, it signals a shift in market sentiment, as they become optimistic again. Historically, increased buying pressure from this group has preceded higher prices. 

At the same time, exchange data confirmed the accumulation trend.

According to CoinGlass, Fartcoin’s Spot Netflow turned negative after being positive for two consecutive days. 

Source: CoinGlass

As of this writing, Netflow was -$1.03 million, indicating increased outflows. Often, a higher buying pressure on exchanges precedes higher prices as upward pressure mounts. 

Derivatives interest builds
Importantly, as the market rebounded, investors rushed into the market to take a strategic position in the futures market. 

According to CoinGlass, Derivatives Volume surged 23.7% to $1.41 billion while Open Interest soared 24% to $249 million. In total, Futures recorded $422.8 million in inflows compared to $416.2 million in outflows in 24 hours. 

Source: Coinglass

Most of this activity came from the long side.

According to Coinalyze, Fartcoin Long/Short Ratio hit 1.82, with 64% of open positions favoring longs — showing strong speculative optimism for further price recovery.

Source: Coinalyze

Momentum indicators hint at upside
According to AMBCrypto, FARTCOIN rebounded as whales turned to accumulating, accompanied by demand for futures positions.

For that reason, the memecoin’s Stochastic RSI made a bullish crossover, rising to 23, although it remains oversold.

Such setups often mark early reversal points if buying momentum sustains. If bulls maintain pressure, the next key resistance lies near the EMA20 at $0.59, followed by EMA50 at $0.71 — both aligning with pre-crash zones.

Source: TradingView

However, a shift in sentiment, with sellers retaking the market again, Fartcoin could retrace to $0.4, with $0.32 as critical support.
