Market Signal Briefing

Dogecoin price has crashed below an important level this week as liquidations jumped and the Crypto Fear and Greed Index sank into the fear zone. This article provides a DOGE price forecast as a risky pattern forms despite the ongoing DOJE ETF inflows.

TLDR:

AlphaTON Capital raised $71M through a share sale and credit facility to accelerate its TON-focused growth plan.
The company acquired $30M worth of TON tokens, becoming one of the largest holders in the Telegram ecosystem.
Leadership aims to scale TON treasury to $100M by Q4 2025 and expand network validation operations.
AlphaTON plans to invest in Telegram mini apps and DeFi projects to support ecosystem adoption.

Crypto investors now have another reason to watch the Telegram ecosystem closely. AlphaTON Capital has secured fresh funding and is stacking TON at scale. The company says its new position will let it shape the next wave of Telegram-based apps. 

Executives are betting big on TON’s future and plan to grow their holdings even more this year. This could set up a powerful play for treasury-backed growth in 2025.

According to a press release, AlphaTON Capital closed $71 million in financing through a mix of share sales and a $35 million credit line with BitGo Prime. The funds were immediately used to acquire $30 million worth of TON tokens, making AlphaTON one of the largest holders in the network.

The deal strengthens the company’s balance sheet and gives its investors direct exposure to the Telegram-linked blockchain. Executives say this first tranche sets the stage for a $100 million treasury goal by the end of 2025.

CEO Brittany Kaiser explained that the company is building more than just a reserve. She said their focus is on staking, validation, and seeding early Telegram mini apps that could reach millions of users.

Enzo Villani, Executive Chairman, said the financing positions AlphaTON at the intersection of social media and blockchain adoption. He expects staking operations to begin soon, generating predictable yield for the treasury.

TON Treasury Growth and Ecosystem Strategy
AlphaTON plans to scale its treasury through ongoing TON acquisitions and yield generation. The company says it will use validation rewards to reinvest in the ecosystem and back promising projects.

This includes scouting opportunities in Telegram mini apps, DeFi protocols, and infrastructure tools built on TON. The strategy is designed to capture value at multiple layers of the network.

The leadership team includes industry veterans from Nasdaq Global Corporate Solutions, SkyBridge Capital, and RSV Capital, which they say gives them a competitive edge in executing their growth plan.

The company expects to provide further updates on treasury expansion and early ecosystem investments in the coming months. Investors watching the TON price may look for signs of market reaction as AlphaTON grows its holdings.

The crypto market remains volatile. Bitcoin trades near $109,400, and Ethereum sits around $3,950. XRP is making headlines as it moves beyond its traditional role as a payment token and enters the broader DeFi ecosystem.

Axelar’s Interchain Token Service (ITS) now connects XRP to more than 80 blockchains. This allows XRP to operate across multiple networks and increases its utility. In September 2025, $mXRP, a staked version of XRP, launched with a 10% yield. The introduction of $mXRP has driven significant interchain activity. On-chain data shows that transfers via Axelar’s ITS reached approximately $6.6 million within a few days of the launch.

Record Interchain ActivityIn the second half of 2025, XRP led all tokens supported by Axelar in interchain transfers. It recorded 13,959 transactions, with a total transfer volume of nearly $23.3 million. This shows strong adoption and growing use of XRP beyond the XRP Ledger. The integration allows holders to earn yield and participate in DeFi opportunities without being directly affected by XRP’s price movements.

Reacting to the same, crypto lawyer Bill Morgan said, “Thanks for sharing. Haven’t seen this bullish data before.” 

Future OutlookGeorgios Vlachos, co-founder of Axelar, said the partnership allows new use cases, including tokenization and trading integrations. Midas, in collaboration with Interop Labs, created $mXRP as the first XRP-denominated yield product. The launch expands XRP’s functionality and strengthens Axelar’s role in the multi-chain ecosystem.

Analysts see this as a step forward for XRP. By combining staking rewards, interchain transfers, and access to over 80 blockchains, XRP can become a key player in the DeFi space. The partnership also benefits Axelar by increasing its visibility and presence across multiple networks.

The past day wasn’t kind to the cryptocurrency markets, as bitcoin slumped below a crucial support level and dipped to a three-week low of under $109,000 yesterday.

Most altcoins crashed even harder, which is why the leveraged liquidations have skyrocketed to nearly $1 billion, according to CoinGlass.

It was less than a week ago when the primary cryptocurrency stood tall at $118,000 after the US Federal Reserve cut the interest rates for the first time this year. However, the asset failed to maintain its run and started to lose value rapidly.

Harrowing trading days were Monday (September 22) and Thursday (September 25). At first, BTC dumped from $115,500 to $112,000. It managed to recover some ground mid-week, but the bears initiated another leg down yesterday, which drove bitcoin further south to its lowest position since the start of the month at $108,600 (on Bitstamp).

Although it has recovered around a grand since then, BTC is still below $110,000, which is a crucial support level, according to Ali Martinez. The next one actually managed to hold the freefalls, which is set at $108,530.

As usual, many industry observers and commentators began speculating on the state of the correction. Some, such as Peter Schiff, called it the start of a bear market.

Crypto analysts remain more optimistic. Captain Fabrik, for instance, referred to the current retracement as a ‘healthy’ one and predicted a surge to $140,000 as long as BTC can reclaim the $113,000 resistance.

Nevertheless, almost all altcoins followed bitcoin on the way south, posting massive losses. Ethereum is among the poorest performers as it lost the $4,000 support and slumped beneath $3,900 yesterday. XRP is deep in the red as well, dumping by 10% weekly and struggling to remain close to $2.80.

This enhanced volatility has harmed over-leveraged traders, as the total value of wrecked positions has shot up to almost $1 billion on a daily scale. More than 225,000 such market participants have been liquidated daily.

Crypto mining company TeraWulf is reportedly raising approximately $3 billion through Morgan Stanley to build data centers, with tech giant Google providing support.

The TeraWulf funding round will support the build-out of its data centers with a structure supported by Google, according to company finance chief Patrick Fleury, who spoke to Bloomberg on Thursday.

Deal could launch as soon as October in high-yield bond or leveraged loan markets. Google’s backstop commitment to support the debt financing is an additional $1.4 billion, bringing its total to $3.2 billion.

The Google support could give the Morgan Stanley transaction a higher rating from credit rating firms. However, the terms of the transaction are still under negotiation, and there is no guarantee a deal will launch, Bloomberg said. 

The AI boom has created severe shortages of data center space, GPU chips, and reliable electricity access, and large crypto mining companies are well-positioned because they already possess the two scarcest resources, existing data center infrastructure and secured power capacity. 

Fluidstack agreement backed by GoogleIn August, TeraWulf announced a ten-year colocation lease agreement with Fluidstack, an AI infrastructure provider.

The deal, worth $3.7 billion in contract revenue, was also backstopped by Google, which took a 14% stake in TeraWulf. 

Google has now committed $3.2 billion across both deals, showing serious long-term investment in crypto-to-AI infrastructure conversion.

Cointelegraph reached out to Terawulf for further details, but did not receive an immediate response. 

TeraWulf stock spikesTeraWulf stock (WULF) spiked 12% on Thursday, hitting an intraday high of $11.72 before it retreated to end up down 3.7% on the day at $10.97 in after-hours trading, according to Google Finance. 

Company shares surged after the initial announcement in August, jumping 80% in the days that followed. TeraWulf has had a solid year with share prices up 94% since the beginning of 2025.

Cipher will provide data-center capacity for Fluidstack under a colocation agreement, while Google will obtain an equity stake in Cipher and backstop $1.4 billion of the obligations.

Bitcoin, the pioneer cryptocurrency, has slipped to a four-week low, trading under $109,500, leaving many traders anxious about its next move. But veteran analyst Timothy Peterson believes the drop could just be part of a bigger setup. 

Using Bitcoin’s 10-year seasonality trends, he suggests the BTC to climb as high as $200,000 by June 2026, and even higher if seasonality repeats.

In his analysis, Peterson highlighted Bitcoin’s 10-year seasonality chart, which tracks the asset’s typical behavior over the course of a year. Instead of looking at the calendar year, he shifted the timeline by six months to better capture Bitcoin’s bull cycles.

According to his research, Bitcoin’s strongest performance window runs from October 11 to June 11. Historically, this period has produced the steepest gains in Bitcoin’s cycle.

If history repeats itself, Bitcoin could climb at an average pace of 7% per month, which works out to around 120% yearly gains.

Bitcoin Price PredictionAccording to analyst Peterson, Bitcoin now has a 50% or higher chance of reaching $200,000 by June 2026. That would mean the price would nearly double from current levels in less than a year.

In a stronger rally, the move could stretch even further, with Bitcoin potentially climbing toward $240,000 later in the cycle.

Peterson also highlighted early November as a key period to watch, since Bitcoin has a history of breaking into new all-time highs around that time. Therefore, Peterson suggests that a more cautious move could see Bitcoin climb toward $160,000 as the first major milestone. 

BTC Price Forecast – Short TermAs of now, Bitcoin price is trading at $109,422, down 3% in the past 24 hours, erasing billions from the market.  Meanwhile, a key factor that analysts are watching closely is the Short-Term Holder (STH) Cost Basis, currently at $111,500. 

This level is increasingly seen as a critical line between bullish and bearish market behavior. Thus, the immediate support lies at $108,600, with stronger support near $108,000. 

A break below these levels may accelerate the downturn, potentially dragging Bitcoin toward the $105,000 zone, which could spark a wider market panic.

Crypto prices continued to crater Thursday, with Bitcoin dropping below the $110,000 psychological mark, Ethereum (ETH) sinking below $4,000 for the first time since early August, and assets like XRP falling 6.1% as investors, fretful about macro and geopolitical factors, shied away from cryptocurrencies and other risk-on assets.

Bitcoin Price Crumbles Under $110,000 Amid Macro Jitters
Bitcoin (BTC), the industry’s largest crypto, which has already been trading weakly over the past few days, plummeted below $110,000 to its lowest price since early September before reversing to $109,490, down 3.5% over the past 24 hours.

Ethereum has taken a much harder hit on the day. Data from CoinGecko shows that the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap traded hands at $3,905 as of publication time, down 15% from seven days ago.

While the U.S. Federal Reserve lowered interest rates in September, the 25 basis point rate cut failed to trigger a parabolic bull surge as once anticipated. One of the factors was Chairman Jerome Powell’s comments, which tapered expectations for the Fed to slash interest rates further next month.

Another notable headwind for Ether is the reduced inflows for spot ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs) this month, signaling weaker institutional demand that could push the price lower. So far in September, the ETH funds have collectively pulled in a mere $110 million, while August’s net inflows surpassed $3.7 billion.

Major altcoins like XRP have also plunged, with the Ripple-promoted asset sliding as much as 5.1% on the day to a price of $2.80. Dogecoin remains the biggest loser in the top 10 coins. The OG meme coin and eighth-largest cryptocurrency was trading close to $0.2287.

Over $1 Billion In Bullish Bets Get Rekt
Amid Thursday’s carnage, liquidations have only accelerated across the crypto market with CoinGlass data showing $1.14 billion worth of “rekt” positions over the last 24 hours. Ethereum is leading the charge there with about $434 million worth, followed by Bitcoin at $276 million.

The vast majority of the liquidations are longs — or bets that an asset’s price will soar — at $1.04 billion worth.

Meanwhile, sentiment in the industry remains poor, with the Crypto Fear and Greed Index slipping to ‘fear’, reaching a score of 44.

Datavault AI Inc. (NASDAQ: DVLT) shares ripped higher in Thursday's after-hours trading after securing $150 million investment in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) to build a supercomputer. 

DVLT is surging to new heights today. Check the fundamentals here.

‘Strategic’ Investment To Boost InfrastructureThe stock rallied over 23% in the after-hours session, building on its gains from the regular trading session. Shares of the data sciences technology firm jumped to an intraday high of $1.07, marking a 64% jump from the previous close.

The surge comes after biotech firm Scilex Holding Company (NASDAQ: DVLT) made a “strategic investment” of $150 million, intending to boost Datavault’s supercomputing infrastructure, expand independent data exchanges and open new revenue streams.

The transaction was executed in Bitcoin at the spot exchange rate. Scilex Holdings’ investment aims to capture growth in the growing biotech data monetization market.

Price Action: At the time of writing, BTC was exchanging hands at $109,715, down 2.62% over the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

Datavault AI shares rallied 23.38% in after-hours trading after closing +28.43% higher at $0.8348 during Thursday’s regular trading session.

Scilex Holding stock fell 2.16% after-hours, despite closing 1.92% higher at $29.14 earlier.

Key Takeaways
Why is SUI still in focus despite lagging L1 peers?
SUIG has stacked 101 million SUI and added 19 million in the last 30 days, nearly 27× faster than ETH accumulation.

How is SUI proving its value on-chain?
The network sees 4.5 million daily transactions and 927k daily active addresses, almost 3× Ethereum’s.

Sui [SUI] is clearly lagging its L1 peers.

Most big-cap L1s have bounced back from the Q1–Q2 bloodbath, riding a solid Q3, but SUI is still 40% off its Q1 highs. Meanwhile, Ethereum [ETH] has recovered 100% of its H1 losses with a 60%+ Q3 pump.

No doubt, ETH’s rally got a boost from institutions, with BitMine [NASDAQ: BMNR] holding 2.4 million ETH. On the SUI side, SUI Group Holdings (NASDAQ: SUIG) has stacked 101 million SUI, totaling 2.8% of the supply.

Source: CoinGecko

In short, institutional appetite is there, but SUI’s still playing catch-up.

Reinforcing this, on-chain, SUIG has been on a tear, grabbing 19 million SUI in the past 30 days, while BMNR only added 702k ETH. That’s nearly 27× faster accumulation, showing SUIG is loading up at a crazy pace.

In fact, SUIG recently repurchased 276k shares under its new $50 million stock buyback program. Could this be a signal of deeper confidence in SUI, which, compared to other high-cap L1s, still looks undervalued?

SUI’s slow and steady grind is building real adoption
A 276k share buyback shows SUIG is trying to juice its stock price.

Q3 hasn’t been kind. SUIG is down 32% from its $5.37 open, showing the market demand isn’t really there. In this context, the $50 million buyback is basically a move to support the float and add value for shareholders.

On top of that, it’s also pumping liquidity into their 101 million SUI stack, keeping institutional bags safe. Meanwhile, SUI’s daily active addresses just hit a monthly high of 927k.

Source: Artemis Terminal

By contrast, Ethereum’s DAA remains flat at 530k.

On-chain, SUI’s adoption is clearly stacking up. The network processes 4.5 million daily transactions, almost 3x that of Ethereum, showing users are actually using SUI for real on-chain activity, not just holding.

Coupled with deeper institutional appetite and the network’s genuine on-chain engagement, SUI’s undervaluation thesis is looking stronger, positioning it as a key pillar in the Web3 transformation.

Despite recent fluctuations that saw the Bitcoin price retrace nearly 6% on a weekly basis, market expert Timothy Peterson remains bullish on the leading cryptocurrency’s future. 

The expert, also a Bitcoin author and economist, predicts that there is at least a 50% chance that the Bitcoin price could reach a new all-time high of $200,000 by June 2026, a forecast he shared on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday.

Optimistic Projections For The Bitcoin Price
Peterson’s optimistic outlook is grounded in his analysis of the Median Bitcoin Yearly Price Path chart, which suggests that October typically marks the beginning of a new upward trend for the Bitcoin price, extending through to June of the following year. 

He elaborated that achieving the $200,000 target would require an average monthly return of approximately 7%, translating to an 120% annualized increase. Furthermore, he noted a 50% or greater likelihood of Bitcoin reaching a new all-time high by early November of this year.

As seen in the chart below, Peterson outlined additionally, two potential bullish scenarios for Bitcoin’s trajectory. The most scenario points toward a surge to a new record of $240,000, while a more conservative estimate suggests a rise toward $160,000.

Regardless, these indicators he referenced imply that the remainder of the year and subsequent months of 2026, could be marked by significant price increases for the market’s leading cryptocurrency. However, the broader crypto market performance has not been without its challenges. 

Investors Brace For Friday’s PCE Data
On Thursday, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL), experienced a downturn as investors shifted their focus to upcoming economic data, particularly following a sharp market correction earlier in the week. 

Traders are particularly attentive to Friday’s personal consumption expenditure (PCE) data, the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) preferred measure of inflation, which could have implications for future interest rate decisions.

When interest rates decrease, more stable investments such as bonds or equities tend to offer lower yields, encouraging investors to seek riskier assets like cryptocurrencies. 

Earlier in the week, a substantial sell-off occurred across the crypto market, marking the largest deleveraging event of the year. On Monday, many digital asset investors unwound bullish positions that had been established after the Fed’s recent quarter-point interest rate cut.

Maja Vujinovic, CEO of Digital Assets at FG Nexus, commented on the situation, emphasizing that the recent liquidations stemmed from excessive leverage rather than failing market fundamentals. She noted, “Overheated funding post-Fed left traders exposed; once Bitcoin rolled over, forced unwinds hit ETH and altcoins hard.” 

Despite the cautious sentiment prevailing in the crypto market this week, Vujinovic pointed out that historical trends suggest these “leverage washes” often pave the way for a healthier market foundation.

Ohio's crypto push and RedotPay's $47M raise fuel optimism – Bitcoin price prediction hints at a rebound toward $117K resistance.

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) sank alongside the broader cryptocurrency market Thursday as investors moved away from speculative assets in response to macroeconomic uncertainties.

DOGE Extends DeclineThe world's largest meme coin by market capitalization fell over 5% in the last 24 hours, exceeding the declines seen in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH).

The coin's trading volume surged 23% in the 24-hour period, suggesting high selling pressure. The latest dip extended DOGE's losing streak, with the token shedding nearly 20% in a week. The

Speculative interest in the coin waned, with open interest in DOGE futures dropping 4.53% in the last 24 hours to $1.20 billion, according to Coinglass.

Stronger-than-expected economic data lowered expectations for Fed rate cuts, triggering a broader slump across cryptocurrencies and stocks.

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst KrissPax acknowledged the "short-term pullback, but said "nothing has changed" over a four-year cycle.

"We are still in a bull cycle and the trend points to another run up for DOGE," the analyst remarked.

Meanwhile, the crucial Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator, which compares two exponential moving averages of an asset’s price, flashed a “Sell” signal for DOGE, according to TradingView.

Price Action: At the time of writing, DOGE was exchanging hands at $$0.2265, down 5.18% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

AlphaTON Capital, the treasury firm for digital currencies linked to Telegram, announced a key breakthrough in its growth plans. According to the latest press release, the Nasdaq-listed company raised $71 million through a loan facility and share sales. Notably, it used some of these proceeds to purchase its first Toncoin assets worth roughly $30 million.

BlackRock’s strong entry into crypto with its Bitcoin (IBIT) and Ethereum ETFs has raised expectations that the firm could soon expand into other assets like XRP or Solana. But Robbie Mitchnick, Global Head of Digital Assets at BlackRock, explained that the decision is not that simple.

In an interview with Nate Geraci, Mitchnick said product development is guided first by client demand. The firm evaluates whether there is enough interest from institutional and retail investors before launching a new ETF. He added that factors like market capitalization, liquidity, maturity, and the strength of the investment thesis all play an important role. BlackRock also considers how a product fits into long-term portfolio strategies. This measured approach, he explained, means the company is still reviewing opportunities rather than rushing into filings for XRP or Solana.

Tokenization Still in Early StagesBeyond ETFs, Mitchnick addressed the future of tokenization. He said that tokenization remains in its early stages, with adoption still limited across most asset classes. The clearest use case so far, he said, has been money market funds. Tokenized versions of these funds, combined with stablecoins, allow investors to earn full yield while maintaining instant liquidity. He described this as a meaningful unlock compared to traditional systems, but emphasized that other asset classes still need clear solutions to real problems.

Stablecoins as FocusMitchnick also highlighted BlackRock’s role in stablecoins. The firm partnered with Circle in 2021 to manage reserves for USDC and made a direct investment. He said stablecoins remain a critical part of the financial system’s evolution, offering faster settlement and broader access to liquidity.

For now, BlackRock appears focused on building where client demand is strongest while continuing to explore tokenization and stablecoin adoption. An XRP ETF may come in the future, but only when the firm sees the right conditions.

TL;DR

Despite bleeding out lately, Ethereum continues to show bullish signals.
Some analysts see recovery hinging on ETH reclaiming $4,200, while others lean bearish, eyeing a slide to $3,500 unless support holds.

Are the Bulls Coming Back?
Ethereum, which was at the forefront of gains this summer, briefly plunged below $4,000 earlier today (September 25) amid an ongoing red wave passing through the entire crypto market. It later surpassed the psychological level but remains 12% down on a weekly scale.

Despite the negative performance, three crucial factors signal that a resurgence could be on the way. The first one is the diminishing supply of ETH tokens stored on crypto exchanges. CryptoQuant’s data shows that today the figure has dropped to a nine-year low of around 16.3 million coins. 

This development indicates that many investors have switched from centralized platforms to self-custody solutions, which in turn reduces immediate selling pressure. 

Next in line is Ethereum’s Relative Strength Index (RSI). The technical analysis tool examines the asset’s recent price movements to indicate whether it has entered oversold or overbought territory. It ranges from 0 to 100, and readings below 30 suggest that the first scenario could be in play, which can result in a rally. As of press time, the RSI stands at roughly 22.

ETH RSI, Source: CryptoWaves
Last but not least, we will touch upon the latest whale activity that may also positively impact ETH’s valuation. X user ZYN revealed that ten new wallets have purchased over 200,000 tokens worth more than $800 million in the last 24 hours. 

Such actions reduce the amount of coins available on the open market and could be followed by a price pump (should demand remain constant or rise). Additionally, smaller players may view this as an encouraging sign and join the ecosystem by distributing fresh capital. 

The Analysts’ Take
According to X user Lennaert Snyder, Ethereum’s road to recovery goes through a crucial reclaim of $4,200.

“Watching that level for confirmation shorts and longs after the gain. Losing $3,900 support brings us to the $3,700 zone, holding that is key to maintain the weekly uptrend,” he argued.

The analyst, using the X moniker Ted, leaned more bearish for the short term. He predicted that ETH will most likely retest $3,800, which could result in a further downtrend to $3,500. On the other hand, if it holds this level, “a rally will happen.”

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) deepened its decline Thursday as cryptocurrencies tumbled amid growing macroeconomic uncertainty.

XRP Sees Heavy Sell-OffThe fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization slid over 5% over the last 24 hours, while a 40% surge in trading volume indicated heavy selling pressure.

XRP's 24-hour losses exceeded those of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH). The $9 billion asset was down over 10% in a week. Stronger-than-expected economic data dashed interest rate cut hopes, sending stock and cryptocurrencies lower.

Meanwhile, XRP’s open interest dropped 1.79%, with roughly $1.5 billion in futures contracts wiped out in the last seven days, according to Coinglass.

See Also: Ripple (XRP) Price Prediction: 2025, 2026, 2030

Widely followed cryptocurrency analyst and trader CasiTrades projected a potential low at $2.715 for XRP.

"This is the bottom trendline of the consolidation and, importantly, would still not make a new low in the correction," the analyst stated.

According to TradingView, XRP’s Relative Strength Index traded close to the oversold level, indicating that there is room for further drop before a move up.

Meanwhile, the Bull Bear Power indicator, which measures the strength of buyers and sellers, showed a “Neutral” reading for the coin.

Price Action: At the time of writing, XRP was exchanging hands at $2.75, down 4.30% in the last 24 hours, according to data from Benzinga Pro.

TeraWulf is moving to raise roughly $3 billion in debt to accelerate build-outs of its data-center footprint, in a financing effort backed by Google, the company’s finance chief said in an interview. The structure being explored would fund expansion of TeraWulf’s facilities to serve both AI workloads and crypto mining demand.

According to CFO Patrick Fleury, the firm is evaluating issuance either into the high-yield bond market or through leveraged loans, with Morgan Stanley arranging the potential transaction. Fleury told Bloomberg the deal could be launched as early as October, though negotiations remain ongoing and there is no certainty a deal will close.

TeraWulf’s Google link, prior deals, and capital moves
Google has already materially increased its financial support for TeraWulf: according to reporting, Google boosted a backstop commitment by $1.4 billion, bringing its total backing to roughly $3.2 billion, and its equity stake in TeraWulf rose to about 14% from 8% earlier this year. The company has also attracted strong commercial interest from AI hosting partner Fluidstack, which expanded usage of a TeraWulf-run data center in New York.

TeraWulf is expected to raise approximately $3 billion to support the build-out of its data centers via a structure supported by Google https://t.co/ceLrIX7oRv

— Bloomberg (@business) September 25, 2025

TeraWulf also disclosed plans in August for a $400 million private offering of convertible senior notes due 2031, with proceeds earmarked partly for capped call transactions and partly to fund data-center expansion and corporate needs. If the new $3B financing completes, it would rank among the largest debt deals executed by a crypto miner pivoting into AI infrastructure.

Credit profile, ratings and deal mechanics
Credit-rating agencies are reportedly reviewing the proposed financing, with expectations that the debt could be rated in the BB–CCC range typical of high-yield or “junk” issuers — though Google’s backstop could help secure better pricing or a higher rating band if underwriters and agencies are satisfied. Morgan Stanley is said to be coordinating placement conversations.

Why miners now court AI and hyperscalers
Surging AI demand has created shortages of data-center capacity, GPUs and large blocks of reliable power — assets where large crypto-mining operators already have scale and infrastructure. TeraWulf’s pivot to host AI workloads follows a series of commercial agreements and is part of a broader industry trend in which miners monetize excess capacity and shift toward high-performance computing colocation. Earlier reporting placed TeraWulf’s signed AI/HPC hosting contracts (via Fluidstack) at multibillion-dollar levels and noted plans to deploy over 200 MW of IT load at its Lake Mariner site — figures that helped trigger renewed investor interest.

Risk and outlook
The deal would materially change TeraWulf’s capital structure and risk profile: raising $3 billion of debt in volatile markets carries refinancing and covenant risk, but successful placement — particularly with Google’s support — could fast-track TeraWulf’s transformation into a sizable AI/HPC host while improving revenues beyond bitcoin mining. Company spokespeople did not provide comment to Cryptonews at the time of reporting.

Long-term holders realized 3.4 million Bitcoin (BTC) in profit, and exchange-traded fund inflows have slowed, according to Glassnode, a sign of “exhaustion” after the Federal Reserve cut rates last week. 

Bitcoin has now fallen below key support levels at around $112,000, hitting a four-week low of $108,700 on Coinbase in late Thursday trading, according to TradingView. 

It has yet to fall back to $107,500 on Sept. 1, but analysts say it could be headed that way. 

The bounce back from that dip “quickly lost momentum, and with prices now hovering close to this level again, another wave of stop-loss selling could emerge,” said 10x Research head Markus Thielen in a note shared with Cointelegraph. 

“This comes at a time when many are positioned for a Q4 rally—making the bigger surprise not a surge higher, but a correction instead.”BTC is retreating from a lower high. Source: Tradingview
Cooling phase ahead for Bitcoin, says GlassnodeGlassnode reported this week that the realized profit/loss ratio shows that profit-taking has exceeded 90% of coins moved three separate times this cycle, with the market having just stepped away from the third such extreme. 

Historically, these peaks have marked major cycle tops, and “probabilities favor a cooling phase ahead,” it stated. 

Cumulative realized profits coincide with cycle peaks. Source: GlassnodeSome Bitcoiners are selling at a lossThielen also stated that the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) is showing concerning behavior as some Bitcoin holders are beginning to sell at a loss, which historically marks significant market stress. 

In bull markets, SOPR dips below 1 can flag exhaustion of sellers and precede rebounds, while in bear markets, rejections at or above 1 often signal renewed downside pressure. The ratio is currently at 1.01, according to Glassnode. 

More critically, the Short-Term Holder Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) is approaching zero, threatening to trigger liquidations as newer holders “quickly cut their losses,” he said. 

Where to next for Bitcoin?Glassnode analysts concluded that unless demand from institutions and holders aligns again, “the risk of deeper cooling remains high, highlighting a macro structure that increasingly resembles exhaustion.”

Meanwhile, Thielen said the firm remains neutral, “unless Bitcoin can reclaim $115,000.”

Strategy chair Michael Saylor was more optimistic, saying earlier this week that Bitcoin will gain in Q4 after macro headwinds subside. 

The asset was trading at $109,645 at the time of writing, having lost 6.5% over the past week.

Magazine: ‘Help! My robot vac is stealing my Bitcoin’: When smart devices attack

Tether Treasury minted 1 billion USDT on the Ethereum blockchain on September 26, 2025, a move flagged by on-chain tracker Whale Alert at 10:22 AM (UTC+8). The issuance increased USDT’s circulating supply by roughly $1.003 billion, reflecting a fresh injection of liquidity into trading, lending, and DeFi venues.

Tether’s USDT Mint: Why Ethereum and Why Now
Tether’s issuance was described by CryptosNewss as a standard liquidity operation: new USDT tokens are created when equivalent fiat reserves back them, ensuring the stablecoin’s 1:1 peg to the U.S. dollar while providing counterparties (exchanges, desks, institutions) with on-chain dollars for activity.

Ethereum was the network of choice for this mint because ERC-20 USDT benefits from deep integration across wallets, centralized exchanges and decentralized finance protocols — offering fast settlement and high on-chain liquidity. The article notes this issuance arrives while Ethereum itself shows renewed activity, with the token recently trading near $4,500 and ETF investor interest picking up.

Network upgrades and ecosystem context
CryptosNewss also highlights a recent milestone in Ethereum development: the Pectra upgrade, released May 7, 2025, which combined Prague (execution layer) and Electra (consensus layer) changes and implemented 11 EIPs intended to improve user and developer experiences on the network. That upgrade is cited as part of the backdrop that keeps Ethereum the preferred settlement layer for major stablecoin issuances.

Stablecoin flows and cross-chain activity
On-chain analytics referenced in the report show massive stablecoin activity: USDT recorded a transaction volume figure of $484.17 billion, outpacing USD-stablecoin flows cited at $319.20 billion in the same data snapshot. The article connects Tether’s mint to broader stablecoin liquidity dynamics, noting contemporaneous USDC activity — specifically Circle’s addition of 250 million USDC on Solana — and stating that USDC’s total supply surged to about $10 billion in recent weeks, underscoring intense multi-chain demand for dollar-pegged tokens.

What this means for markets
A $1B USDT mint on Ethereum signals dealers and platforms are preparing for or responding to heightened liquidity needs — whether for exchange flows, margin, or DeFi integration. While minting itself doesn’t inherently move price, the fresh supply lubricates market activity and can presage increased trading or lending demand. CryptosNews frames the mint as part of a continuing trend: stablecoins remain central plumbing for crypto markets across multiple blockchains.

, /PRNewswire/ -- 

Why: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of V.F. Corporation (NYSE: VFC) between October 30, 2023 and May 20, 2025, both dates inclusive (the "Class Period"), of the important November 12, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline.

So what: If you purchased V.F. Corporation securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.

What to do next: To join the V.F. Corporation class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44811 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than November 12, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

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

Details of the case: According to the lawsuit, defendants disseminated materially false and misleading statements and/or concealed material adverse facts concerning the true state of V.F. Corporation's turnaround plans. Specifically, defendants provided investors with material information concerning V.F. Corporation's turnaround plan ("Reinvent"), which in part focused on efforts to return the Vans brand to positive growth. The lawsuit alleges that defendants concealed that additional significant reset actions would be necessary to return the Vans brand to growth, and would result in significant setbacks to Vans' revenue growth trajectory. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages.

To join the V.F. Corporation class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=44811 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for information on the class action.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.
