The estimated transaction value is $4,763,936 in Q3 2025. This brings the fund’s total QQQ position to $4.76 million, with no prior holding reported last quarter.
What else to knowThis is a new position for the fund, now accounting for 3.8% of DKM Wealth Management, Inc.’s $124.58 million in reportable U.S. equity assets in Q3 2025.

The fund is structured as a trust.
Invesco QQQ Trust offers investors targeted exposure to the NASDAQ-100 Index. The fund’s strategy uses periodic rebalancing to closely mirror index composition and weights.
Foolish takeDKM Wealth Management opened a new position in Invesco’s popular QQQ Trust in Q3 2025, to the tune of $4.8 million and over 7,900 shares. Because QQQ tracks the NASDAQ-100, it gives DKM Wealth Management and other investors a more balanced exposure to tech stocks without nearly as much risk as would be present in investing in individual technology companies.
This has pros and cons, since any individual tech holding can suddenly become a hot commodity and its value balloon dramatically in the current market environment. However, by selecting a basket of tech giants, investors can largely avoid the dramatic ups and downs involved with this sector, and are protected from the more serious losses that can also be present here.
QQQ is an ETF that’s frequently and sometimes aggressively traded, more preferred by active traders than its very similar cousin, QQQM. QQQ also has higher liquidity, which may be preferred by DKM if the fund feels that this is a shorter term investment, rather than a permanent portfolio balancing move. It can certainly be held long term like QQQM typically is, but it has a higher expense ratio and a higher per share price. Don’t expect this to be a long-term move.

3 Defensive Stocks to Watch as Trade Tensions Resurface: GILD, JNJ, KR
Resurfaced tensions between the U.S. and China caught the market off guard in Friday’s trading session, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq falling over 2% on news that President Trump plans to impose an additional 100% tariff on Chinese goods starting November 1st.
Notably, President Trump stated the move was prompted by China taking an “extraordinarily aggressive” position in what had been ongoing trade talks by announcing new export controls on the U.S. that will take effect next month.
With investors being on edge as the world’s two largest economies go head-to-head again, seeking out stocks that can offer defensive safety in the portfolio may be necessary.
Top Performing Medical Stocks The medical sector had been at the forefront of defensive positions earlier in the year when President Trump’s Liberation Day Tariffs rocked the broader market, with Gilead Sciences (GILD - Free Report) and Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Free Report) being able to hold onto some of these exhilarating gains.
GILD and JNJ shares are hovering near their 52-week highs and are still up more than +25% year to date, respectively. Enthusiasm for their drug pipelines has been magnified by increased probability, as Gilead Sciences has a stronghold in developing treatments for HIV and liver diseases, while Johnson & Johnson has a robust portfolio across immunology, oncology, neuroscience, and other therapeutic areas.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Also attracting investors have been Gilead Sciences and Johnson & Johnson’s respectable dividends, which are both around 2.7%, topping the Zacks Medical sector’s average of 1.47% and the S&P 500’s average of 1.1%.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Kroger’s Value as a Retail Grocery Leader As one of the largest grocery chains in the U.S., investors have shown a tendency to flock to Kroger's (KR - Free Report) stock for defensive safety as well. While Kroger stock lost some of its YTD gains when tariff concerns subsided, KR is still up a respectable +13% in 2025.
Amid a resurgence in market volatility, Kroger’s value may take center stage with KR trading at a reasonable 14X forward earnings multiple and well under the preferred level of less than 2X sales.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Seeing steady top and bottom line expansion, Kroger stock stands out with an overall “A” VGM Zacks Style Scores grade for Value, Growth, and Momentum. Plus, Kroger also offers an annual dividend yield of over 2%.
Even better, Kroger’s 28% payout ratio suggests there is plenty of room to raise its dividend in the future, with KR having an impressive annualized dividend growth rate of 15.24% in the last five years.
Image Source: Zacks Investment Research
Bottom Line Building their reputations as viable defensive investments, Gilead Sciences, Johnson & Johnson, and Kroger stock all land a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) at the moment. That said, these stocks will likely attract investors if markets continue to pull back, as their operations are deemed essential regardless of economic uncertainty.

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Jasper To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you purchased or acquired securities in Jasper between November 30, 2023 and July 3, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
[You may also click here for additional information]
, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Jasper Therapeutics, Inc. ("Jasper" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: JSPR) and reminds investors of the November 18, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (i) Jasper lacked the controls and procedures necessary to ensure that the third-party manufacturers on which it relied were manufacturing products in full accordance with cGMP regulations and otherwise suitable for use in clinical trials; (ii) the foregoing failure increased the risk that results of ongoing studies would be confounded, thereby negatively impacting the regulatory and commercial prospects of the Company's products, including briquilimab; (iii) the foregoing increased the likelihood of disruptive cost-reduction measures; (iv) accordingly, the Company's business and/or financial prospects, as well as briquilimab's clinical and/or commercial prospects, were overstated; and (v) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 7, 2025, Jasper issued a press release reporting updated data from the BEACON Study. The press release stated that "[r]esults from the 240mg Q8W and the 240mg followed by 180mg Q8W dose cohorts appear to be confounded by an issue with one drug product lot used in those cohorts, with 10 of the 13 patients dosed with drug from the lot in question," that "[t]he Company is investigating the drug product lot in question and expects to have the results of that investigation in the coming weeks," and that Jasper was "taking steps to ensure that drug product from the lot in question is returned to the Company and that sites have drug product from other lots to continue dosing." Further, the press release revealed that the Company "has also determined that the drug product lot in question was used to treat participants enrolled in the ETESIAN [Study]. As a result, and in order to focus resources on advancing briquilimab in CSU, the Company is halting the study and pausing development in asthma." Finally, the press release stated that "the Company is halting development in SCID" and, contrary to its prior representation of having a strong balance sheet and a cash runway extending "through the third quarter of 2025," that Jasper "will be implementing a number of other cost cutting measures including a potential restructuring, to extend runway and reduce expenses."
On this news, Jasper's stock price fell $3.73 per share, or 55.1%, to close at $3.04 per share on July 7, 2025.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Jasper's conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.

MLTX INVESTOR ALERT: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of MoonLake Immunotherapeutics
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Significant Losses In MoonLake To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you suffered significant losses in MoonLake stock or options and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against MoonLake Immunotherapeutics ("MoonLake" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: MLTX).
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
Moonlake Immunotherapeutics saw its shares plummet over 80% on Monday after disappointing results from two late-stage trials of its experimental drug, sonelokimab, for hidradenitis suppurativa. While one study showed a statistically significant improvement over placebo, the margin of benefit fell short of investor expectations. The second trial failed to meet its primary endpoint entirely, with the company citing an unexpectedly high placebo response. The underwhelming data has cast doubt on the drug's regulatory path and commercial potential, prompting skepticism from analysts and a sharp market sell-off.
To learn more about the MoonLake investigation, go to www.faruqilaw.com/MLTX or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Apple Reorganizes Health and Fitness Divisions Ahead of Former COO's Retirement
Apple is reportedly reorganizing some of its divisions as the retirement of former Chief Operating Officer Jeff Williams nears.
The company will move its health and fitness divisions and place them under the oversight of its services chief, Eddy Cue, Bloomberg reported Friday (Oct. 10), citing unnamed sources.
In addition, the Apple Watch operating system will now be overseen by the company’s head of software engineering, Craig Federighi, according to the report.
Apple did not immediately reply to PYMNTS’ request for comment.
According to the Bloomberg report, both Cue and Federighi have decades of experience at the company, helped launch some of its biggest products and have been gaining influence.
The report added that Apple wanted to combine its health and fitness divisions’ efforts and that it plans to launch a new subscription service called Health+. The Health+ service will provide users with personalized recommendations on nutrition, exercise and sleep with the help of an artificial intelligence-powered assistant, per the report.

Apple announced in July that Williams would retire later this year to spend more time with friends and family.
The company said at the time that Williams would transition his role as COO later that month to Apple Senior Vice President of Operations Sabih Kahn. It said he would continue reporting to Apple CEO Tim Cook and overseeing the company’s design team, Apple Watch, and health initiatives, and then would retire later in the year.
Cook said in the July press release that Williams had “helped to create one of the most respected global supply chains in the world; launched the Apple Watch and overseen its development; architected Apple’s health strategy; and led our world-class team of designers with great wisdom, heart and dedication.”
Bloomberg reported in March that Apple was working on an AI agent that can dispense health advice and that the project marked the company’s latest and perhaps strongest push into the health field.
During Apple’s third quarter earnings report in July, the company said the revenues of its wearables, home and accessories category, which includes Apple Watch, fell 9% to $7.4 billion. Services revenue was up 13% to $27.4 billion.

SHAREHOLDER REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Nutex Health
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Nutex To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you purchased or acquired securities in Nutex between August 8, 2024 and August 15, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).
[You may also click here for additional information]
, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Nutex Health Inc. ("Nutex" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: NUTX) and reminds investors of the October 21, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
As detailed below, the complaint alleges that the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by making false and/or misleading statements and/or failing to disclose that: (1) HaloMD was achieving lucrative arbitration results for Nutex by engaging in a coordinated scheme to defraud insurance companies; (2) as a result, to the extent that they were the product of fraudulent conduct, revenues attributable to the Company's engagement with HaloMD in the IDR process were unsustainable; (3) in addition, the Company overstated the extent to which it had remediated, and/or its ability to remediate, the material weaknesses in its internal controls over financial reporting; (4) as a result, the Company was unable to effectively account for the treatment of certain of its stock based compensation obligations; (5) as a result, Nutex improperly calculated these stock based compensation obligations as equity rather than liabilities; (6) the foregoing increased the risk that the Company would be unable to timely file certain financial reports with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"); (7) accordingly, Nutex's business and/or financial prospects were overstated; and (8) as a result, Defendants' public statements were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On July 22, 2025, Blue Orca Capital ("Blue Orca") issued a short report on Nutex. The Blue Orca report alleges, among other things, that Nutex faces litigation risk due to its relationship with HaloMD, a third-party vendor that was recently sued for engaging in a "coordinated fraudulent scheme" to take millions from insurance companies on behalf of healthcare billing clients.
Following publication of the Blue Orca report, Nutex's stock price fell $11.18 per share, or 10.05%, to close at $100.01 per share on July 22, 2025.
On July 24, 2025, Nutex issued a press release responding to the Blue Orca Report, stating that it "strongly disagrees with the allegations in the report" and that it "expects to provide related updates in its upcoming earnings release and Form 10-Q for the second quarter of 2025 due on or before August 14, 2025."
However, after the market closed on August 14, 2025, Nutex announced that it would "delay filing its Form 10-Q for the period ending June 30, 2025", citing "non-cash accounting adjustments related to the treatment of stock-based compensation obligations for certain under-construction and ramping hospitals, as disclosed in previous filings."
When Nutex failed to rebut the allegations of the Blue Orca Report, the Company's stock price fell $18.22 per share, or 16.39%, to close at $92.91 per share on August 15, 2025.

NY Artisinal Initiates Coverage of LuxUrban Hotels, Launches Independent Investigation into Financial Disclosures and Legal Filings
Los Angeles, CA, Oct. 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NY Artisinal, a New York–based independent research and investigative analysis firm, today announced the initiation of formal coverage of LuxUrban Hotels Inc., with a comprehensive review underway into the company’s financial disclosures, contractual practices, and pending litigation.
This investigation is part of NY Artisinal’s Ongoing Corporate Transparency Program, which focuses on identifying discrepancies and risk signals in high-growth sectors where public perception and financial reality may diverge.
LuxUrban Paid Its Workers in Full — Even as NYC Withheld $8 Million. Now Bankruptcy Could Be Its Comeback, Not Its Collapse.
LuxUrban Hotels wasn’t supposed to fail.
The fast-scaling hospitality startup had engineered one of the industry's most compelling business models: taking over underutilized hotels, turning them into short-term rentals, and doing it all without owning a single building.
Investors bought in — hard. At its peak, LuxUrban was valued at nearly $300 million, with an enterprise value above $500 million. It was lean, profitable, and fast-moving.
Then New York City stepped in.
Amid the city’s migrant housing crisis, LuxUrban became one of several companies contracted to provide emergency accommodations. But as the crisis deepened, the city fell behind — eventually withholding over $8 million in reimbursements.
Rather than lay off staff or stall operations, LuxUrban kept paying workers 115% of their wages, hoping payments would come through.
They never did. Bank accounts were frozen. Contracts evaporated. And now, the company once hailed as a next-gen hospitality unicorn is filing for Chapter 11 — not to die, but to survive.
When innovation met the wrong system
LuxUrban’s management thought they were helping.
At the height of the crisis, the company converted a Midtown property — the now-notorious Hotel 46 — into temporary housing for asylum seekers under contracts administered by the Hotel Association of New York City (HANYC) and the Department of Homeless Services (DHS).
It should have been a win-win: a fast, flexible example of public–private partnership in action.
Instead, it triggered a financial freefall.
According to legal filings reviewed by Business Insider, LuxUrban is owed more than $8 million, plus damages, from HANYC and DHS for reimbursements that never came. Those missing funds covered everything from payroll to food and security — costs the company paid directly out of its own reserves for nearly two years with no money in return.
At Hotel 46 alone, LuxUrban spent over $1.5 million on wages and essential operations. Across its portfolio, it absorbed another $5 million in union overages, bond drawdowns, and penalties that compounded when City reimbursements failed to arrive.
_____
The city payments that never came — and the 115% penalties that did
When reimbursements stalled, LuxUrban kept paying its workers anyway. Under strict union and Independent Workers Agreement (IWA) rules, even a payroll delay of a few hours triggered fines of up to 115% of wages.
That meant workers didn’t just get paid — they got paid extra, with an estimated $5 million in penalties flowing directly into their pockets across hotels that reported temporary wage delays.
LuxUrban covered every dollar of those payments out of pocket while waiting for City reimbursements that never came.
“The workers got every penny — and then some,” said a labor expert and legal counsel for large companies operating under collective bargaining agreements familiar with the program. “LuxUrban kept everyone employed and overpaid per contract while the City sat on the bill. The system punished performance.”
_____
From Chapter 11 to second chances
LuxUrban’s 2025 Chapter 11 filing drew harsh headlines and little sympathy.
But bankruptcy isn’t always failure. In this case, it may be the reset that exposes how bureaucracy, financial pressure, and opportunistic counterparties — not poor management — brought the company down.
A motion under 11 U.S.C. § 1104(a) seeks to appoint an independent Chapter 11 trustee to consolidate the estate and pursue claims that could total tens of millions of dollars.
If approved, that trustee would oversee litigation and recovery efforts involving:
• HANYC and DHS — the $8 million-plus in unpaid reimbursements.
• Tuscany Legacy Leasing & St. Giles Hotels — alleged to have granted a long-term lease it didn’t hold and later used that lease to trigger a Confession of Judgment that froze LuxUrban’s online-travel-agency and credit-card receivables, effectively choking off cash flow.
• Wyndham Hotels & Resorts — damages tied to a terminated brand partnership.
• Cloudbeds Inc. — questions surrounding financing fees and the recognition of liens and payment priorities that are now being reviewed by legal counsel.
• Expedia Group, Tuscany Legacy Leasing, and certain merchant-cash-advance lenders — cited in filings as having imposed restrictions on OTA and receivable transfers that, according to restructuring experts, further tightened liquidity and are being examined for whether they had contractual or legal authority to do so.
• Media entities, particularly Bisnow — whose reporting is now the subject of a formal legal review by retained counsel evaluating whether certain Bisnow articles were coordinated with short sellers to influence perception and trading activity.
Legal experts retained to evaluate these matters confirm that evidence is being reviewed for potential irregularities or improper coordination among counterparties or media coverage.
“On the surface — and from the beginning — there appear to be patterns that warrant deeper review,” said one attorney familiar with the investigation. “The trustee’s appointment would make it possible to test those facts in court.”
“The chapter is literally not over,” added a restructuring advisor. “A trustee could bring accountability and a real shot at restitution.”
_____
The Tuscany twist: where it all went wrong
At the center of LuxUrban’s collapse lies the Tuscany lease — a master agreement allegedly sold to LuxUrban by Tuscany Legacy Leasing, an entity linked to St. Giles Hotels.
Court filings suggest Tuscany granted a long-term lease it had no authority to convey, then later used that same lease to justify a Confession of Judgment that froze millions in LuxUrban accounts.
That single maneuver — executed through a loophole in New York’s civil procedure — is widely viewed as the moment the company’s liquidity evaporated.
“The trustee will almost certainly go after that lease,” said a restructuring expert following the case. “If it’s proven fraudulent, it could unlock a large share of the company’s lost value.”
_____
A company that paid everyone — except itself
For workers, vendors, and guests, LuxUrban delivered. Payrolls were met, hotels stayed open, and employees made 115% of their contracted wages.
Behind the scenes, the company’s accounts bled dry under the weight of bureaucracy and unpaid obligations.
“This isn’t incompetence,” said a bankruptcy attorney involved in the case. “It’s what happens when a company performs too well in a system that rewards inefficiency.”
_____
A comeback on the horizon?
Despite the setbacks, optimism is returning.
Sources close to the process say LuxUrban could reopen two to three hotels in the coming weeks as part of a structured restart under new oversight.
If the trustee is appointed, recovery actions — from the unpaid City contracts to the disputed Tuscany lease — could turn LuxUrban’s narrative from collapse to comeback.
For now, its story stands as both a warning and a revelation: sometimes in New York, doing the right thing costs more than failing ever could.

Benson Investment Management Loads Up With 22K IBM Shares Worth $6.4 Million
Benson Investment Management Company, Inc. disclosed a new position in International Business Machines (IBM -3.61%) on October 10, 2025, acquiring shares valued at approximately $6.38 million, as reported in its Form 13F filing for the quarter ended September 30, 2025.
What happenedBenson Investment Management Company, Inc. initiated a new equity stake in International Business Machines (IBM -3.61%), according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission dated October 10, 2025. The fund bought approximately 22,622 shares, with an estimated transaction value of $6.38 million based on average prices for the third quarter of 2025. This marks International Business Machines' entry as a reportable holding for the fund.
What else to knowThe new International Business Machines position represents 2.18% of the firm's 13F assets under management as of September 30, 2025

International Business Machines is a global technology leader with a broad portfolio spanning software, consulting, infrastructure, and financing solutions. The company focuses on hybrid cloud, artificial intelligence, and mission-critical IT services to support enterprise digital transformation.
Foolish takeBenson Investment Management Company took the plunge and invested in a new position in IBM during Q3 2025 that was worth over $6 million, representing about 2% of its total portfolio. This puts IBM in Benson’s top 15 holdings, with a larger percentage share than even Apple and Dell.
This could be a bullish signal from Benson about IBM, but it’s also objectively been a strong stock this year, putting up 20% gains year-to-date. The business is solid, with many new partnerships in the works with a variety of industries. Perhaps its strongest position, however, is in the AI space, where IBM has positioned itself as a leader in enterprise AI solutions.
Unlike general purpose generative AI, or public facing LLMs, many of IBM’s AI solutions are targeted to specific clients or industries, especially those that are highly regulated. This helps the company keep a lid on costs, and has generated a considerable backlog for the product, ensuring interest for some time to come.
Benson’s opening a position in IBM during Q3 could represent a strong conviction in the stock, but may also have been an opportunistic move, considering IBM experienced a major drop in share price during the quarter, which it has since recovered from.

SHAREHOLDER REMINDER: Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Investigates Claims on Behalf of Investors of Lantheus
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Securities Litigation Partner James (Josh) Wilson Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Lantheus To Contact Him Directly To Discuss Their Options
If you purchased or acquired securities in Lantheus between February 26, 2025 and August 5, 2025 and would like to discuss your legal rights, call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

, /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential claims against Lantheus Holdings, Inc. ("Lantheus" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LNTH) and reminds investors of the November 10, 2025 deadline to seek the role of lead plaintiff in a federal securities class action that has been filed against the Company.
Faruqi & Faruqi is a leading national securities law firm with offices in New York, Pennsylvania, California and Georgia. The firm has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors since its founding in 1995. See www.faruqilaw.com.
According to the complaint, defendants provided investors with misleading statements 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, risking Pylarify's price point, revenue, and overall growth potential. These statements caused Plaintiff and other shareholders to purchase Lantheus' securities at artificially inflated prices.
Investors began to question the veracity of Defendants' public statements on May 7, 2025, when Lantheus reported its first quarter results below market expectations with Pylarify's performance particularly falling short. Then, on August 6, 2025, Lantheus again announced disappointing results and significantly reduced growth expectations for Pylarify, which had fallen 8.3% year-over-year, and slashed fiscal year 2025 growth projections. Defendants attributed the losses to the ongoing competition, impacting Pylarify's pricing dynamics.
Investors and analysts reacted promptly to Lantheus' revelations. The price of Lantheus' common stock declined dramatically. From a closing market price of $72.83 per share on August 5, 2025, Lantheus' stock price fell to $51.87 per share on August 6, 2025, a decline of about 28.8% in the span of one day.
The court-appointed lead plaintiff is the investor with the largest financial interest in the relief sought by the class who is adequate and typical of class members who directs and oversees the litigation on behalf of the putative class. Any member of the putative class may move the Court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member. Your ability to share in any recovery is not affected by the decision to serve as a lead plaintiff or not.
Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP also encourages anyone with information regarding Lantheus' conduct to contact the firm, including whistleblowers, former employees, shareholders and others.
To learn more about the Lantheus Holdings, Inc. class action, go to www.faruqilaw.com/LNTH or call Faruqi & Faruqi partner Josh Wilson directly at 877-247-4292 or 212-983-9330 (Ext. 1310).

Attorney Advertising. The law firm responsible for this advertisement is Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP (www.faruqilaw.com). Prior results do not guarantee or predict a similar outcome with respect to any future matter. We welcome the opportunity to discuss your particular case.

Bitcoin (BTC) continues to show strength above $122,000, with analysts suggesting that the market remains far from overheated despite recent highs.

Bitcoin Crashes Hard After Trump's 100% Tariff on China Announcement
Bitcoin Suffers Its Worst Crash of the YearThe crypto market was thrown into chaos late Friday as Bitcoin ($BTC) crashed from above $120,000 to a low near $111,000, wiping out billions in market value within hours. The sudden drop marks the steepest one-day decline of 2025, with BTC falling over 7% in 24 hours and triggering a wider sell-off across all major altcoins.
The catalyst? It's President Trump.
This shock announcement rattled global markets, sending investors fleeing from risk assets — including crypto — in a classic risk-off move.
Chart Analysis: Freefall from Key SupportAs shown in the below chart, BTCUSD collapsed below multiple key levels in a single candle:
Lost support at $118,600, turning it into resistance.Fell through the 50-day SMA (~$114,500), signaling a sharp momentum shift.Briefly touched $111,350, just above a crucial support cluster near $110,000 — the last defense before the 200-day SMA (~$106,600).
BTC/USD 1-day chart - TradingView
The daily candle formed a massive red engulfing bar, confirming heavy selling pressure and panic liquidation across exchanges. This structure resembles previous macro breakdowns, though the speed and scale of this one make it stand out as the worst single-day Bitcoin correction in 2025 so far.
If the $111K–$110K zone breaks, the next downside targets lie near $106K (200-day SMA) and psychological $100K support.
Total Market: Over $400 Billion Wiped OutThe broader crypto market mirrored Bitcoin’s collapse. According to total market cap data (attached chart), the crypto market fell over 10%, plunging from around $4.1 trillion to just above $3.6 trillion before a slight rebound attempt.
Every major sector — from DeFi to Layer 2s to AI tokens — was hit hard.Ethereum (ETH) dropped back below $4,000.BNB, SOL, and XRP all saw double-digit declines.Even top performers of early Uptober like ZEC and TAO gave up a large part of their weekly gains.
Total crypto market cap in the past hours - TradingView
The sudden liquidity crunch caused several leveraged traders to be liquidated as funding rates flipped negative, adding more downward momentum.
Why the Tariff News Hit So HardTrump’s 100% China tariff policy, effective November 1st, reignites fears of a global trade war, threatening supply chains, inflation control, and economic stability — the exact macro conditions that often spook crypto investors.
While Bitcoin has often been viewed as a hedge against geopolitical chaos, this time the move suggests traders are prioritizing cash and stability over risk exposure. The immediate reaction across futures and spot markets shows that institutions are reducing exposure until macro clarity returns. It is also worth noting that all markets crashed, not only cryptos.
What’s Next for Bitcoin?Analysts see two possible short-term paths:
1. Quick Recovery (V-shape bounce)If Bitcoin holds above $111K–$110K and buying volume returns, a retest of $118K–$120K could happen in the coming days. That would confirm this as a panic dip rather than a full reversal.
2. Extended CorrectionIf panic persists and macro pressure builds, BTC could drop toward $106K–$100K, testing long-term moving averages before stabilizing.
Given that Uptober historically brings bullish trends, traders are watching whether this tariff-driven crash becomes a short-term buying opportunity or the start of a broader risk-off phase.

CZ says Aster's privacy beats Hyperliquid's transparent order books
CZ says Aster’s privacy beats Hyperliquid’s transparent order books Gino Matos · 36 mins ago · 2 min read
CZ attributed BNB's recent meme explosion to an unplanned Mid-Autumn Festival post, and outlined his investment thesis favoring privacy-focused perpetual DEXs over transparent alternatives.

Changpeng Zhao (CZ) detailed the accidental rise of Chinese memecoins on BNB Chain and explained why Aster’s hidden orders provide a structural advantage over Hyperliquid.
During his Oct. 10 interview with CounterParty TV, the former Binance CEO attributed BNB’s recent meme explosion to an unplanned Mid-Autumn Festival post and outlined his investment thesis, favoring privacy-focused perpetual DEXs over transparent alternatives.
BNB Chain’s Chinese ticker surge started when Zhao posted “Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, post your best memes” during the traditional holiday.
The community responded with moon-themed content and Chinese-language tickers, including Zhao Chang’e, a wordplay on Zhao’s name that referenced a female deity from Chinese mythology.
He stated:
“It wasn’t planned. It just slowly evolved into that. Everything I tweet, they turn into a meme. At some point I said, screw that. I’m just going to tweet freely.”
Five BNB Chain memes have reached market capitalizations of $100 million to $500 million in recent weeks, attracting Solana traders. Zhao characterized BNB traders as more holder-focused due to the chain’s utility background, contrasting with Solana’s faster-paced meme culture.
Zhao said:
“They tend to be more holders. They don’t go up and down the next day.”
BNB vs Solana: open vs exclusiveZhao pushed back on the perception that BNB operates as a closed vertical from launch pad to Binance listing, arguing that the ecosystem remains more open than Solana’s infrastructure.
He said:
“Binance lists tokens from every blockchain, even meme coins from every blockchain. Trust Wallet supports BNB Chain, Solana, and many other blockchains. Phantom doesn’t support BNB Chain. Radium only operates on Solana. Their ecosystems are actually much more exclusive than ours.”
Zhao explained that Solana’s meme focus partly resulted from SEC lawsuits targeting utility tokens during the former President Joe Biden administration.
Projects launching tokens with real use cases faced securities violations, pushing builders toward meme coins that claim no utility:
“If you launch a real project with a utility token, you’re going to get a lawsuit from SEC. Meme coins, we just declared there’s no value, there’s no utilities, just for fun.”
Aster’s privacy edge over HyperliquidZhao’s Aster investment stems from 20 years of trading experience, showing that professional traders require order privacy. He argued that Hyperliquid’s transparent on-chain order book creates a fatal flaw that Wall Street participants cannot accept.
According to Binance’s former CEO:
“Every single trader on Wall Street I talked to do not want other people to see their orders in real time. “If you know exactly how another person is going to trade, there’s always one way to trade against them for them to lose money.”
Zhao posted about the privacy issue in June, triggering 30 project pitches that day. Aster implemented hidden orders, prompting Binance Labs to invest alongside other privacy DEX projects.
The absence of privacy leaves traders vulnerable to individuals who can reverse-engineer their trading algorithms and exploit them. Zhao acknowledged that Hyperliquid could add privacy features, but noted that exchanges compete on multiple dimensions beyond single functionalities.
Besides the need for privacy, Zhao highlighted that how an exchange protects users and deals with mistakes is what matters.
Lastly, Zhao also predicted that perp DEXs will rival centralized exchange volumes within one cycle. New users are onboarded through centralized platforms with familiar interfaces, then migrate to DEXs for a broader selection and earlier access to tokens.
According to his timeframe:
“In 20, 30, 50 years out, everything will be on-chain. But in the interim, if there’s a big rush of traditional users, CEX will get better. Afterwards it will slowly slip into DEXes.”

Bitcoin may get ‘dragged around a bit' amid Trump tariff fears: Exec
Swan Bitcoin CEO Cory Klippsten said Bitcoin’s price volatility may not be over after the cryptocurrency briefly fell to $102,000 on Friday, following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on Chinese imports.
“If the broader risk-off mood holds, Bitcoin can get dragged around a bit before it finds support and starts to decouple again,” Klippsten told Cointelegraph on Friday.
Klippsten said that Bitcoiners should expect some turbulence over the coming days. “Macro-driven dips like this usually wash out leveraged traders and weak hands, then reset positioning for the next leg up,” Klippsten said.
$8 billion wiped out in crypto marketOver the past 24 hours, around $2.19 billion in Bitcoin (BTC) long positions have been liquidated, contributing to a total of $8.02 billion in long liquidations across the broader crypto market, according to CoinGlass.
“We’ve got a little panic in the markets right now, classic macro whiplash. Trump and China are trading tariff threats, equities are off, and traders are scrambling to derisk,” Klippsten added.
Cointelegraph head of markets Ray Salmond said that leveraged traders “were totally caught off guard” as Trump’s tariff announcement “sent shockwaves across the crypto market.”
Bitcoin has slightly recovered trading at $113,270 at the time of publication. Source: CoinMarketCapSalmond explained that Bitcoin’s price dislocation between crypto exchange Coinbase, where the BTC/USD pair fell to $107,000 and and crypto exchange Binance perpetual futures, where the BTC/USDT pair crashed to $102,000, “really illustrates the severity of the cascading liquidations and how stops were completely obliterated.”
Salmond pointed to liquidation heatmap data from Hyblock, which shows “literally all downside long liquidity absorbed, with a liquidation cluster $102,000 to $97,000 remaining.”
Bitcoin liquidation heatmap, 7-day look back. Source HyblockIt’s not the first time Bitcoin has dropped sharply after a Trump tariff announcement. In April, Trump’s first tariff announcements sent shockwaves through crypto markets and sparked fears of a recession.
On Feb. 1, when Trump signed an executive order to impose import tariffs on goods from China, Canada, and Mexico, Bitcoin fell below $100,000.
Bitcoin analysts are staying optimisticSeveral Bitcoin analysts say the most recent price drop could present a buying opportunity.
Bitwise Invest senior investment strategist Juan Leon said in an X post that “the best time to buy BTC has tended to be when it is being dragged down by broader markets.”
Meanwhile, Bitwise Invest chief investment officer Matt Hougan reminded his 85,900 X followers of a typical pattern among market participants, noting that while many say they’ll buy Bitcoin during a price pullback, they often hesitate when it happens because “the market doesn’t ‘feel’ good at that point.”
“It never feels good when you buy the dip. The dip comes when sentiment drops. Writing the number down can be a good form of discipline,” Hougan said.

Solana Price Prediction: Public Company Taps Coinbase to Buy Millions in SOL – Wall Street is Here
Sharps Technology, which holds one of the largest Solana treasuries in the U.S., has chosen Coinbase as its official custodian — a move that signals serious long-term intent and supports a bullish Solana price prediction.
Ethereum Takes a Major Hit – Down Over 10%Ethereum ($ETH) has joined $Bitcoin in one of the worst market crashes of 2025, dropping over 10% in 24 hours and breaking below the $4,000 mark for the first time in weeks. The current price sits around $3,900, after hitting a low near $3,436 during the panic selloff.
The sharp drop follows the market-wide crash triggered by Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on China, set to take effect on November 1st — a move that sent shockwaves across global risk assets, from stocks to crypto.
Chart Analysis: ETH Breaks Key SupportAs seen in the attached chart, Ethereum experienced a massive red candle, collapsing below its 50-day SMA (~$4,400) and slicing through the critical support at $4,356.
ETH/USD 1-day chart - TradingView
Key takeaways from the chart:
ETH plunged over 10.6% in one day, wiping out weeks of gains.Next major supports lie around $3,840, $3,500, and $3,200.The 200-day SMA sits near $3,098, a potential long-term floor if the selloff deepens.This breakdown confirms a strong bearish reversal, as ETH failed to sustain its breakout and quickly reversed into a liquidation-driven dump.
Altcoins Join the Crash$Ethereum wasn’t alone — the entire altcoin market turned red, with top assets showing heavy double-digit losses:
$BNB: down 13.09%, now trading near $1,093$XRP: down 17.16%, sitting at $2.32Solana ($SOL): fell 14.31% to $189.21TRON ($TRX): down 5.06% to $0.32Even top memecoins like $DOGE plunged 26.48%, showing the intensity of the crash
Across the board, over $400 billion in market capitalization vanished, dragging total crypto valuation from over $4.1 trillion to below $3.7 trillion before a slight recovery attempt.
Why the Market Is CrashingThe selloff was triggered by the BREAKING news that President Trump has imposed a 100% tariff on all Chinese imports, effective November 1st.
This announcement has raised fears of:
A renewed U.S.–China trade war,Higher inflation, andReduced global liquidity — all of which are bad for speculative assets like crypto.With investors rushing to safer positions, risk assets were dumped heavily, causing cascading liquidations across futures markets.
What’s Next for Ethereum?Traders are now watching whether ETH can hold above $3,800–$3,500. If this range fails, the next stop could be $3,200–$3,100, near the 200-day moving average.
However, a quick rebound remains possible if Bitcoin stabilizes around the $111K–$113K zone. In that case, ETH could retest $4,200–$4,400 before regaining bullish momentum.
For now, the short-term outlook remains bearish, with volatility expected to stay high through the coming week.

HBAR Faces Heavy Institutional Selling as Trading Volume Surges Sixfold
Hedera Hashgraph’s native token, HBAR, experienced significant institutional selling pressure over the 24-hour trading period ending October 10, with prices moving within a volatile 6% range between $0.21 and $0.22. Despite showing early strength and briefly climbing near $0.22, the token reversed sharply during the final trading hour as large institutional investors initiated broad selloffs that wiped out earlier gains.
Trading data revealed an extraordinary surge in volume, reaching 262.49 million—almost six times higher than the daily average of 47.32 million. Analysts identified the 3:00 PM window as the key inflection point, marking the start of coordinated institutional liquidations, likely tied to portfolio rebalancing or risk management moves ahead of potential regulatory announcements.
Technically, HBAR broke through several short-term support levels during the final trading hour before stabilizing as market activity slowed. The sharp volume spike and subsequent decline hinted at temporary liquidity constraints or trading desk closures near session end.
Data from TradingView showed that resistance formed near the $0.22 zone, where institutional buying interest repeatedly failed to sustain upward momentum. Support around $0.21 was decisively broken as sell pressure intensified between 3:30 and 3:35 PM, when volume peaked at 12.80 million and 16.90 million, respectively. The price briefly recovered to $0.21 by 3:44 PM, before institutional activity halted entirely in the final minutes—likely signaling end-of-day position adjustments or risk mitigation in anticipation of broader market developments.
HBAR’s intraday volatility underscores the growing influence of institutional participants in crypto markets and highlights how regulatory uncertainty continues to shape short-term liquidity dynamics across digital assets.

Ethereum Leads Crypto Market Sell-Off as U.S.-China Trade Tensions Escalate
Friday’s trading session brought heavy losses to the cryptocurrency market as escalating U.S.-China trade tensions rattled investors. A renewed threat from President Donald Trump to impose major tariff hikes on Chinese goods triggered widespread risk-off sentiment, sending shockwaves across digital assets.
Ethereum’s native token, ether (ETH), was the hardest hit among the CoinDesk 20 Index constituents, plunging 7% from its Friday session high. ETH slipped below $4,100, marking its weakest level since late September. In comparison, bitcoin (BTC) fell 3.5%, dipping below $118,000, while the broader CoinDesk 20 Index dropped around 5%.
The market turmoil sparked a massive liquidation cascade across crypto derivatives platforms, with more than $600 million in leveraged positions wiped out, according to CoinGlass data. ETH accounted for the largest share of these losses, as over $235 million in long positions—bets on the token’s price rising—were liquidated during the session.
Technical indicators pointed to a major support breakdown behind the sell-off. CoinDesk Research reported intense selling pressure emerging around 14:00 UTC, with trading volume spiking to 372,211 units, nearly double the 24-hour average of 190,747. Analysts identified volume-based resistance at $4,287, while primary resistance formed near $4,141 during a failed rebound attempt. On the downside, new support appears to be forming just below $4,100, where some buyers stepped in.
Despite the short-term weakness, market analysts such as Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan remain optimistic about the broader crypto landscape, highlighting Solana’s strong setup as one of the best in nearly a decade. However, with macroeconomic uncertainty rising, crypto investors are bracing for heightened volatility in the days ahead.

Pepe Price Prediction: Meme Coins Are Crashing – Will PEPE Be the First to Go or the First to Bounce?
The much-anticipated ASTER token airdrop has been officially postponed to October 20 after the Aster team uncovered inconsistencies in the allocation data. According to Friday’s announcement, several users received lower allocations than expected, prompting the team to launch a detailed review to correct the discrepancies. Updated allocation figures are expected to be released in the coming days.
Participants will also be required to decide whether to request a USDT refund, which will be distributed shortly after the airdrop.
Aster, a decentralized trading platform with ties to Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, has drawn significant attention in recent weeks. Zhao serves as an advisor through YZi Labs, which also holds a stake in the project. Aster aims to challenge competitors like Hyperliquid, which has rapidly become a major player in the decentralized trading space.
The Aster airdrop rewards users based on trading activity, coin holdings, and liquidity provision, with a qualifying threshold set at 10,000 Rh points. However, the project clarified that users with identical point totals may still receive different allocations due to specific adjustments in the calculation process.
Nearly 154,000 wallets have reportedly qualified for the second phase of Aster Genesis. Once distribution begins, eligible users will be able to claim their tokens immediately without any lock-up period.
The Aster airdrop remains one of the most talked-about events in the crypto community, with many eagerly awaiting the updated data and official rollout later this month.

Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade – Could this game-changer take ETH to $10K?
Key Takeaways
How does Fusaka affect validators, network participation?
The upgrade reduces the data load for validators, enabling home users to secure the network without expensive hardware or high-speed internet.
What impact will Fusaka have on transaction processing?
Fusaka triples gas limits from 45 million to 150 million per block, allowing more transactions per block and supporting higher throughput.
Ethereum [ETH] is gearing up for its next major upgrade, Fusaka, following the successful Pectra rollout.
Designed to make the network faster, cheaper, and more accessible, Fusaka introduces innovations like PeerDAS. It will allow nodes to share data, instead of each downloading everything.
By significantly reducing the data load required for validators, it will allow individuals to participate in network security from home without needing costly enterprise-grade hardware or ultra-fast internet connections.
Set to launch by the end of 2025, the upgrade could boost scalability, adoption, and even spark renewed optimism in Ethereum’s price trajectory.
Impact of Fusaka upgrade on Ethereum
Fusaka will also introduce a more sophisticated node architecture – One wherein supernodes take on the full transactional load, regular stakers manage moderate workloads, and light nodes handle minimal duties.
This division of labor would enable Ethereum to process a much larger volume of transactions and “blobs” (data chunks) without overloading the network, ensuring both resilience and efficiency.
In fact, early testing suggests that even as data volumes continue to rise, validator bandwidth remains within manageable limits. This creates room for Layer-2 rollups, a growing user base, and increasingly complex decentralized applications.
Additionally, the update also triples gas limits from 45 million to 150 million per block. All while increasing transaction capacity and helping Ethereum compete with faster networks like Solana. Especially since the latter leads in throughput and low latency.
Beyond technical improvements, Fusaka will also promote a healthier, more inclusive ecosystem by lowering barriers to entry, allowing greater participation, and supporting long-term sustainability.
Impact on ETH’s price action
In essence, this upgrade will position Ethereum to grow in capacity and adoption while remaining credibly neutral, faster, and more democratic.
At the time of writing, Ethereum was trading at $4,341, following a minor decline of 1% in the last 24 hours and losses of 3.26% over the week. Now, if ETH breaks decisively above $5,000, the network could be positioned for a major price surge, with the altcoin possibly reaching $10,000 this cycle.
And yet, the RSI lying below the neutral level seemed to imply that bulls need to do more work to dominate the bears.

All these hints mean that the network’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade could be a game-changer, potentially fueling renewed bullish momentum.

Bitcoin 4-Year Cycle Marks A Turning Point: Analyst Explains Why This Time Is Different
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure
Bitcoin has been experiencing heightened volatility after reaching a new all-time high of $126,000 earlier this month. The price has since entered a consolidation phase, hovering near the $120,000 level as traders search for fresh demand. Market sentiment remains divided — some analysts expect Bitcoin to stabilize and prepare for another leg up, while others warn of a possible drop below current levels as momentum cools.
This raises the question that’s echoing across the market: Could this be the first truly different Bitcoin cycle? According to top analyst Darkfost, traditional patterns may not apply this time. “Some claim that a -80% to -90% bear market will occur as usual,” he explains, “but certain data points suggest that this cycle is being built on new foundations.”
Unlike previous cycles driven by retail speculation, this one appears increasingly influenced by institutional participation, ETFs, and long-term holders, all contributing to reduced volatility and deeper market maturity. While corrections remain part of Bitcoin’s DNA, structural changes in demand and liquidity may be redefining how this cycle unfolds. Whether Bitcoin breaks higher or faces a major retracement, one thing is clear — this market is evolving faster than ever before.
Bitcoin’s Fourth Cycle: A Stable and Mature Market Phase
According to top analyst Darkfost, Bitcoin’s current cycle stands out as the most stable in its history. During this bullish phase, BTC has not experienced a single correction exceeding 28%, a stark contrast to previous cycles where violent retracements were common. Most drawdowns have remained within a modest 10%–20% range, and only four corrections have surpassed 25%, marking this as the least volatile Bitcoin cycle so far.

For perspective, between 2020 and 2022, Bitcoin endured multiple 50% drawdowns, creating sharp waves of fear and euphoria that defined the market’s rhythm. Today, the picture is very different. Volatility has dropped to its lowest levels since the last bear market, reflecting a new level of market maturity. As Darkfost points out, this decline in volatility has also led to a tightening of the Bollinger Bands’ standard deviation, signaling growing price stability and disciplined market behavior.
This shift suggests that Bitcoin’s market structure has fundamentally evolved. It no longer mirrors the chaotic, retail-driven cycles of the past. Instead, adoption continues to climb, regulation has become more favorable, and, most importantly, the investor base is changing. Large institutional players and corporate treasuries — particularly in the United States — are entering the market, absorbing selling pressure that once triggered deep corrections.
As a result, Bitcoin’s fourth cycle is rewriting the rulebook, built on deeper liquidity, stronger hands, and long-term conviction rather than speculation. This may be the first cycle where Bitcoin transitions from a volatile asset to a globally recognized, maturing store of value.
Price Consolidation Continues Around $121K
Bitcoin (BTC) is currently trading around $121,800, consolidating after a volatile week that saw strong resistance near the $126,000 all-time high. The 4-hour chart shows that BTC is moving sideways within a narrow range, struggling to reclaim the short-term 50 EMA (blue line), which has now turned into dynamic resistance.

The immediate support level sits near $120,000, while the key horizontal level at $117,500 — highlighted in yellow — remains the most crucial zone to maintain the broader bullish structure. As long as the price holds above this area, the uptrend remains intact, with potential for a renewed push toward the $124,000–$126,000 zone.
Momentum indicators suggest that buyers are still defending critical support, though market indecision dominates. The 100 and 200 EMAs (green and red lines) continue trending upward, reinforcing mid- and long-term bullish sentiment. However, failure to close above $122,500 in the coming sessions could expose Bitcoin to deeper retracements, with eyes on $118,000 as the next demand area.
The chart suggests a healthy consolidation phase after a major breakout. A decisive move above $123K would confirm renewed bullish momentum, while a breakdown below $120K could mark the beginning of a deeper correction phase.

Here's How High The XRP Price Would Be With The Market Cap Of Bitcoin
Among all the cryptocurrencies in the industry, few have seen as many comments and predictions as XRP. Once trapped under legal uncertainty, XRP has begun to reclaim attention thanks to favorable legal developments and the anticipated launch of Spot XRP ETFs.
However, XRP’s current valuation is significantly below that of the largest cryptocurrency, Bitcoin. But what if XRP were to rise to the same market capitalization as Bitcoin? Data from MarketCapOf offers a glimpse into how much each XRP token would be worth if it reached Bitcoin’s current market cap.
Linking XRP’s Price With Bitcoin’s Market Cap
Bitcoin’s market capitalization has reached heights that rival and even surpass some of the world’s largest multinational corporations. Notably, Bitcoin’s current market cap of $2.415 trillion places it shoulder to shoulder with tech giants like Apple and Microsoft. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is the eighth-biggest asset by market cap, just behind Silver and Amazon, and well ahead of Meta Platforms, Broadcom, and Saudi Aramco.
XRP is currently the third biggest cryptocurrency in terms of market cap, but its market cap is far below Bitcoin’s lead. However, many analysts and market commentators believe XRP stands out as one of the few assets capable of challenging Bitcoin’s dominance.
Source: Chart from MarketCapOf on X
This belief originates from XRP’s alignment with traditional finance. Its established partnerships with banks and payment providers give it a practical use case that most cryptocurrencies do not have.
At the time of writing, XRP has a market cap of $168 billion, not even up to one-tenth of Bitcoin’s market cap. According to MarketCapOf, if XRP were to reach Bitcoin’s current market cap, each token would be worth approximately $40.68.
Given XRP’s circulating supply of about 53.4 billion tokens, this price prediction represents an increase of over 14,000% or 14.35x, from its current level of around $2.8. In practical terms, an early investor holding just 1,000 XRP today would see their holdings valued at more than $40,000 under this scenario.
What This Means For XRP Holders
The comparison provides a valuable perspective on XRP’s long-term potential and the scale of value transfer possible within the crypto market. It also shows how far XRP needs to go in order to reach Bitcoin’s current level.
Bitcoin’s dominance today is due to its first-mover advantage and its acceptance as a store of value. However, XRP is growing in remittances and real-world asset tokenization, and Ripple’s stakeholders are working to challenge SWIFT. This gives the cryptocurrency a utility foundation that could cause the growth of its market share.
If Ripple continues to secure partnerships with central banks, payment providers, and institutional investors, as Ripple has increasingly done in regions like the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America, then the idea of XRP closing even a fraction of the gap with Bitcoin becomes less far-fetched.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.83. Another factor that could contribute to this projected price growth is if Spot XRP ETFs are launched in the US and they perform well.

Crypto Market Prediction: Shiba Inu's (SHIB) Last Chance at $0.000012? XRP Skyrocketing Hidden, Ethereum (ETH) for $5,000 Should Be Forgotten

The market is losing touch with bulls as the weekend trading session might end up being more problematic than we anticipated. Luckily, both ETH and XRP should recover in the foreseeable future, with smaller assets like SHIB certainly needing more help.
Shiba Inu losing steamShiba Inu token is getting ready to bid farewell to the $0.000012 zone, which has served as both support and resistance on several occasions in 2025. The price action at the moment points to a gradual but steady decline toward the $0.000010 range, which has historically served as the bottom of SHIB’s trading cycles.
SHIB/USDT Chart by TradingViewAs of press time, SHIB is trading just above a sizable horizontal support that has remained stable since mid-June, at about $0.0000119. The token has been rejected at the 200-day EMA despite numerous attempts to break higher. It is still trapped within a larger descending wedge, which is a structure frequently linked to downtrend exhaustion phases. Additionally, the 50-day and 100-day EMAs are bending downward, which supports the short-term bearish trend.
HOT Stories
The asset may be nearing an inflection point, though, based on the convergence of these averages near the lower wedge boundary. Around 45, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) indicates that the market is neither overbought nor oversold, allowing for possible volatility in either direction. The decrease in volume may indicate a decrease in selling pressure, which is a sign of stabilization prior to a potential reversal.
SHIB would confirm the formation of a 2025 bottom if it were to test and hold the $0.000010 area. This level has regularly set off recovery rallies in previous cycles and has not been broken since early 2023. Even though short-term sentiment is still weak, the long-term structure appears to be positive; the likelihood of a significant bounce increases as SHIB approaches $0.000010.
Shiba Inu may be on the decline, but the next drop may pave the way for a significant comeback.
XRP losing itEven though XRP has lost a number of important support levels and is currently under bearish pressure, it might be preparing for a modest but noteworthy recovery. Technical indicators and price structure point to a developing accumulation phase, which, if confirmed, could precede a sharp uptrend, even though the general sentiment surrounding the asset has cooled.
By stabilizing around the lower edge of a symmetrical triangle pattern, XRP is currently trading close to $2.86. The 200-day moving average continues to serve as a long-term support buffer. The asset has since demonstrated resilience, suggesting that buyers may be gradually regaining control despite briefly falling below the 100 EMA earlier this week. The RSI is showing neutral but regaining momentum, hovering just above 40.
Significant volume contraction has also occurred at the same time, which is a typical indication of accumulation phases in which major players covertly increase their positions prior to a directional breakout. Such compression times for XRP have frequently come before significant bullish reversals in the past.
Technically speaking, the next resistance lies between $2.92 and $3.00, where prior rallies were turned off. Rising volume and a breakout above this range would probably signal the beginning of a new bullish leg, which could push XRP back toward $3.30 to $3.50.
It is crucial to keep support above $2.64 on the downside because a decline below could postpone the recovery and test deeper liquidity zones. Even with its temporary weakness, XRP’s structure is still essentially sound. The market appears to be consolidating rather than collapsing, as evidenced by the tightening price range and the steady defense of the long-term moving averages.
XRP may be poised for an unanticipated reversal, transforming today’s cautious sideways movement into tomorrow’s breakout opportunity if this accumulation phase persists.
Ethereum waves at $4,000With Ethereum beginning to exhibit the first noticeable signs of weakness above the crucial $4,000 mark, traders are beginning to worry that the most recent rally may be coming to an end. The second-largest cryptocurrency has failed to maintain upward momentum after successfully breaking through resistance around $4,400, a development that frequently precedes a brief reversal.
Strong market sentiment and rising trading volumes initially made Ethereum’s breakout from the symmetrical triangle pattern appear promising, as seen on the daily chart. The subsequent candles, on the other hand, paint a different picture: ETH has started to lose its bullish structure, posting a string of lower highs and finding it difficult to hold onto important moving averages.
At $4,330, Ethereum is just above its 50-day moving average. The next significant support zone is the 100-day EMA, which is located close to $3,960. A clear break below that level might indicate a more definitive trend reversal, which could eventually drive ETH toward $3,600. A further indication that buying pressure has diminished is the RSI’s rollover from overbought territory, which is currently hovering close to neutral.
The recent decline in trading activity indicates a lack of conviction among bulls and institutional participants, which is supported by volume analysis. Simply put, if Ethereum is unable to sustain its value above $4,000, it may signal the start of a period of consolidation or even correction.
While the overall trend is still bullish, short-term traders should prepare for possible volatility and profit-taking, particularly as long as the price stays above the 200-day EMA. The probability of a decline to $4,000 or lower will rise significantly if Ethereum is unable to regain momentum above $4,400 in the upcoming sessions. Right now, everyone is watching to see if bulls can regain control before this weakness develops into a complete reversal.

Cardano's Charles Hoskinson Slams Democrats' DeFi Regulation Proposal as Attack on Innovation
Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson has sharply criticized Senate Democrats’ leaked proposal to regulate decentralized finance (DeFi), calling it a dangerous move toward government overreach and centralization. In a YouTube livestream, Hoskinson dissected the proposed legislation, warning that it could give the U.S. Treasury excessive power over blockchain protocols without due process.
Hoskinson argued that the proposed bill would allow the Treasury to maintain a restricted list of DeFi protocols, effectively acting as judge and executioner with “no oversight, no appeals, no due process.” He cautioned that such power could turn into a “kill switch,” threatening the foundation of decentralized systems and innovation in the crypto industry.
The Cardano founder also condemned the bill’s removal of developer protections. Under the proposed framework, anyone involved in designing, deploying, or operating a front-end service for a DeFi protocol could be treated as a regulated intermediary. Hoskinson warned this definition could criminalize developers and builders who form the backbone of decentralized innovation.
Beyond regulatory issues, Hoskinson directed his frustration toward the Democratic Party, accusing it of abandoning its values. He said Democrats once claimed to support “the little guy,” but now only serve the interests of large institutions. “The little guy is the DeFi user — the person downloading a wallet, buying an NFT, or building a meme coin,” he said. “They’re the ones who built crypto, not banks or tech giants.”
Hoskinson further argued that pushing the crypto industry out of the U.S. would be an economic mistake, potentially transferring trillions of dollars in future growth to foreign markets. He urged the public to contact their senators and support a more balanced, bipartisan approach. “Don’t let a small group of Democrat senators destroy this progress,” he warned. “Let your voices be heard — we can’t lose this fight.”
By challenging what he sees as overreach and political bias, Hoskinson joins a growing number of industry leaders urging policymakers to pursue innovation-friendly regulation rather than control-driven policies.

Breaking: Bitcoin Crash Fueled by Exchanges Dumping Millions in Crypto
Bitcoin Crash Sparks Exchange Dumping FrenzyThe crypto market shook on October 10, 2025, as $Bitcoin crashed 10% — from $122,000 to $107,000 — after Trump’s 100% tariff threats against China. Key details:
Over $250B wiped from total market cap, now near $4T.Around $250M in hourly liquidations across exchanges.@DeFiTracer reported Binance moved 4,000 ETH ($17M) to exchanges like OKX and Kraken in under 10 minutes, sparking fears of coordinated dumping.
Total crypto market cap in USD - TradingView
Ethereum Hit Hard by Exchange OutflowsEthereum suffered an even steeper drop, plunging 15% from $4,390 to $3,860 on Binance.
Arkham data revealed rapid ETH outflows from exchanges.These transfers suggest exchanges liquidated large long positions.Some traders accused Binance and others of manipulation, while on-chain data hints at market makers redistributing liquidity.The speed and size of these dumps fueled speculation of deliberate price suppression.U.S.–China Tensions Amplify Exchange ActionsThe bitcoin crash and subsequent exchange dumping are deeply tied to escalating U.S.–China trade tensions. Trump’s tariff hike, announced late Friday, created a “risk-off” environment, prompting exchanges to dump major assets to manage exposure.
Data shows Binance and other platforms moved significant volumes of digital assets, possibly to mitigate losses or capitalize on the panic. This exchange dumping aligns with historical patterns during geopolitical shocks, but the lack of transparency has intensified scrutiny on whether these actions are market-driven or manipulative in the current crypto market turmoil.
Manipulation Claims Target Exchanges@DeFiTracer called the dumping “pure manipulation”, accusing exchanges of trying to liquidate longs for profit.
Millions in ETH and other tokens were shifted in minutes.So far, no regulatory proof of manipulation has surfaced.On-chain data suggests liquidity adjustments during volatility — but traders remain skeptical.The debate continues, with calls for greater oversight and transparency.Future Implications of Exchange DumpingThe $bitcoin crash and exchange dumping have left crypto markets on edge, with Bitcoin and Ethereum hovering near $100,000 and $3,000 support levels. Continued exchange dumping could prolong the bearish trend, especially if U.S.–China trade tensions escalate. Investors are watching for regulatory responses to the alleged manipulation and further exchange moves.
This episode underscores the power of exchanges in shaping crypto market dynamics and the need for transparency. For now, the crypto community braces for more volatility as exchanges remain under the spotlight.

XRP Price Crashes 17% as Crypto Market Meltdown Deepens
XRP Price Suffers Sharp 17% CrashRipple’s $XRP has taken one of the hardest hits in the ongoing crypto selloff, plunging nearly 17% in the last 24 hours to around $2.34. The drop followed Bitcoin’s fall from $120K to $111K and Ethereum’s tumble below $4K, as panic spread through global markets following Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on China, effective November 1st.
XRP/USD 1-day chart - TradingView
The rapid selloff wiped out billions from XRP’s market capitalization and triggered widespread liquidations across derivatives exchanges.
Chart Analysis: XRP Breaks Major SupportAs shown in the above chart, XRP just suffered a technical breakdown after losing the crucial support zone near $2.75 and plunging below both the 50-day SMA ($2.91) and 200-day SMA ($2.57).
Key observations:
Support lost: $2.75 and $2.50 have flipped into resistance.Next support levels: $2.20 and $1.80.Resistance to reclaim: $2.75 (former base) and $3.00 psychological barrier.The chart also shows a descending trendline rejection near $3.00 before the crash, confirming bearish momentum.This move marks the largest single-day loss for XRP since early 2024, pushing it below long-held moving averages and signaling potential for more downside if market sentiment stays negative.
Market Context: Trump’s Tariff Shock Sparks PanicThe entire crypto market is reeling from Trump’s 100% tariff announcement on all Chinese imports starting November 1st.
This move triggered a wave of risk-off sentiment across global markets, sending investors into cash and stable assets.
$Bitcoin fell over 7% to around $113K.$Ethereum dropped 10%, now hovering near $3,900.$Solana, $BNB, and $XRP all saw double-digit losses as selling pressure intensified.Analysts say that this kind of macro-driven crash often leads to short-term panic, followed by selective recovery once markets stabilize.
On-Chain and Exchange Data: Liquidity Drains FastExchange data shows that major outflows from Binance and Coinbase accelerated during the crash, particularly for XRP and ETH.
Several on-chain trackers noted rapid transfers of XRP from cold wallets to exchanges, signaling mass liquidations.
While some traders suspect market manipulation by large players, others argue this was a liquidity-driven correction amplified by macro fear and stop-loss cascades.
XRP Price Prediction: What’s Next for XRP?If XRP fails to hold above $2.20, the next key support lies at $1.80, a level not tested since mid-2024.
However, if bulls manage to reclaim $2.75, a short-term rebound toward $3.00–$3.10 could be possible.
Bullish scenario: Strong buying near $2.20–$2.30 could fuel a recovery toward $2.75 and $3.00.Bearish scenario: Continued Bitcoin weakness and broader market fear could drag XRP below $2.00, extending the correction.

How ERC-8004 will make Ethereum the home of decentralized AI agents
How ERC-8004 will make Ethereum the home of decentralized AI agents Oluwapelumi Adejumo · 4 seconds ago · 2 min read
As the AI market grows, Ethereum’s ERC-8004 standard offers a new paradigm for trust and reputation among autonomous agents.
Oct. 11, 2025 at 1:31 am UTC
2 min read
Updated: Oct. 11, 2025 at 1:31 am UTC
Cover art/illustration via CryptoSlate. Image includes combined content which may include AI-generated content.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving beyond chatbots and copilots, and the next frontier of this fast-developing industry is a world of AI agents.
These autonomous digital actors can browse the web, negotiate contracts, make payments, and collaborate with other machines.
The market supporting this shift is immense, with data from Statista projecting the global AI sector to surpass $1 trillion by 2031. Notably, the report suggests that a significant market share would be dedicated to agentic systems capable of independent decision-making.
Yet one question dominates the conversation: How will millions of these autonomous agents trust, verify, and transact with each other?
While technological firms like Google are racing to build centralized agent ecosystems, developers within the crypto community argue that the most neutral and verifiable substrate for this emerging machine economy isn’t a corporate cloud—it’s Ethereum.
Why Ethereum matters for AIEthereum’s open ledger already secures more than $550 billion in on-chain assets and millions of smart contracts.
For developers like Binji, an Ethereum Foundation engineer, that makes it a natural foundation for “trustware”—a public layer where machines can anchor identity, memory, and proof of action.
According to him:
“if you were an agent with no loyalty except to your own survival, you wouldn’t want to bet your memory and reputation on one corporation or one government: you’d want a ledger that no one could quietly change behind your back. you’d want neutral ground. you’d want Ethereum.”
ERC-8004Considering this, the network developers have been working on a technical framework to enable these AI agents to thrive without a third-party intervention.
On Oct. 9, the Ethereum Foundation’s dAI team and Consensys unveiled ERC-8004, a new standard designed to enable AI agents to discover, authenticate, and cooperate directly on-chain, without centralized intermediaries.
At its core, ERC-8004 extends the Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol with three lightweight registries for Identity, Reputation, and Validation.
Each agent receives a portable on-chain identity encoded as an ERC-721 token, allowing it to be viewed, transferred, or managed via existing Ethereum wallets. The registry file linked to that NFT describes the agent’s skills, endpoints, and metadata, forming a standardized “passport” for machine actors.
The proposal enables agents to establish trust autonomously without centralized intermediaries, bridging the gap between AI systems and blockchain infrastructure.
The framework also supports on-chain reputation by integrating x402 payment proofs and feedback data, allowing agents to build provable behavior histories.
Essentially, ERC-8004 positions Ethereum as the potential coordination layer for a decentralized AI economy. In this environment, AI agents, not humans, will negotiate transactions, manage resources, and form DAOs.
Binji stressed that the technology could fuel the next boom in AI agents, while simultaneously boosting Ethereum’s core value proposition of “trust without intermediaries.”
He added:
“This is just the beginning of machines running on trustware. smart contracts are how we will communicate with ai, the immutable ledger is how they will communicate with eachother, and ethereum is how we will build this right.”

Dogecoin (DOGE) Holds Key $0.25 Level as New ETF and Whale Activity Spark Breakout Hopes
The Dogecoin price is battling to keep the crucial $0.25 support as a fresh wave of institutional interest builds. The newly listed 21Shares Dogecoin ETF (TDOG) gives traditional investors regulated exposure to DOGE without managing wallets or private keys, a milestone that could expand liquidity and improve price discovery.
TDOG’s appearance on mainstream market rails (via DTCC listing support and brokerage access) signals growing acceptance of meme-coin ETFs, echoing earlier adoption trends seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum funds.
For portfolio managers, an ETF wrapper simplifies compliance, custody, and rebalancing, key hurdles that have historically sidelined DOGE from institutional mandates.

Dogecoin Whales Accumulate As Exchange Supply Thins
On-chain flows are aligning with the ETF narrative. Data show roughly $23 million in DOGE left centralized exchanges recently, classic whale accumulation that reduces immediate sell pressure and can tighten supply when demand rises.
At the same time, the technical structure remains constructive as DOGE has respected an ascending channel since the summer, and this week marked a fourth successful bounce off rising trendline support.
Momentum gauges have stabilized, with hourly RSI hovering above neutral and OBV trending higher, signs that dip-buying persists even as broader crypto volatility ticks up. Together, shrinking exchange reserves and steady whale bids build a supportive backdrop into Q4, historically a seasonally strong stretch for DOGE.
Doge Price Outlook: Key Levels To Watch
Near term, bulls need to reclaim $0.254–$0.255 to break a short-term downtrend cap; a close above $0.260 would strengthen a push toward $0.278–$0.284, with the channel top near $0.33 as the next stretch target. Failure to clear $0.255 keeps price range-bound between $0.24–$0.26.
On the downside, Dogecoin’s initial support sits at $0.2475, then $0.240 (channel lower bound). A decisive break below $0.232 would invalidate the constructive setup and expose $0.212–$0.205.
