Monero up 8.7%, Bitcoin down 3.48% – Can XMR keep outperforming BTC? cryptonews
BTC XMR
Journalist

Posted: October 9, 2025

Key Takeaways
Why is the $350 level so important for Monero?
This level has acted as resistance since mid-July. The liquidation levels clustered around it made it a robust magnetic zone for prices to gravitate to.

What is Monero’s price momentum like?
Compared to Bitcoin, Monero has had a particularly strong week. This relative strength was corroborated by technical indicators across different timeframes.

Monero [XMR] was pushing toward a three-month high at $358. The privacy token has witnessed strong demand and bullish momentum in recent weeks.

AMBCrypto’s technical analysis showed a bullish structure across multiple timeframes.

It was highly likely that the altcoin would soon challenge the $350-$360 supply zone. The recent market-wide pullback that came right after Bitcoin [BTC] made a new all-time high earlier this week did not affect XMR.

Bitcoin was down 3.48% since Monday’s high, while Monero was up 8.7% in the same period. Will this short-term outperformance initiate a long-term rally?

Monero is setting itself up for another upward move

Source: XMR/USDT on TradingView

On the weekly timeframe, XMR has rebounded strongly after falling to the fair value gap, or imbalance, at the $250 region. This retracement came after the token rallied to the 2025 high at $419.85 in May.

The retracement saw a bullish reaction from the imbalance, as well as the 78.6% Fibonacci retracement level at $235.46.

Therefore, it was highly likely to proceed to the $419 high and possibly to the 23.6% extension at $475.2.

The OBV has been trending higher to show notable buying volume during the rally of 2025. Similarly, the RSI also signaled bullish momentum. Neither indicator hinted at overextended market conditions in this timeframe.

Source: XMR/USDT on TradingView

On the 1-day chart, a bullish market structure break came on the 2nd of October. After this break, the price revisited the imbalance at $300 that was left behind during the rally that brought the structure break.

The technical indicators continued to outline a bullish bias.

From the 1-week to 3-month lookback periods, the liquidation heatmaps showed that the $343-$350 region was filled with short liquidations.

The density of this liquidity pocket meant that it was highly likely that XMR would visit the $350 level again.

Short liquidations could fuel an XMR move to $360 or higher. Bulls would want to see this level flipped to support on the daily timeframe, making the move to $420 and higher more likely.

(Nasdaq: OBIO, “Orchestra BioMed” or the “Company”), a biomedical company accelerating high-impact technologies to patients through strategic partnerships with market-leading global medical device companies, today announced a data summary supporting the transformative potential of Atrioventricular Interval Modulation (“AVIM”) Therapy in the management of hypertensive heart disease will be presented in a keynote talk at the Georgia Innovation Summit in Tbilisi, Georgia on October 10, 2025. The presentation, to be delivered by Avi Fischer, MD, Senior Vice President of Medical Affairs and Innovation at Orchestra BioMed, will showcase AVIM Therapy as a novel, device-based therapeutic approach targeting hypertensive heart disease progression and its potential to redefine standards of care.

Dr. Fischer commented, “This keynote presentation reflects the growing global recognition of AVIM Therapy as a novel, device-based therapy, poised to reshape the future of hypertension care. Hypertension is the principal driver of diastolic dysfunction, which accelerates the development of heart failure. Despite widespread use of antihypertensive therapies, many patients continue to progress along the disease pathway, underscoring the importance of novel therapeutic approaches. The collective body of AVIM Therapy clinical data demonstrates its potential to directly modulate the progression of hypertensive heart disease, offering the potential to intervene earlier in the course of the disease to improve long-term outcomes, transform patient care, and ultimately create lasting value for all stakeholders.”

The keynote presentation will provide a comprehensive overview of clinical and mechanistic AVIM Therapy results from pilot and long-term follow-up studies, highlighting the therapy’s consistent favorable clinical impact on blood pressure and cardiac function:

Immediate, substantial, and sustained blood pressure reduction MODERATO I pilot study: 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (“aSBP”) reduced by 11.6 mmHg at 1 day and 10.1 mmHg at 3 monthsMODERATO II pilot study: 24-hour aSBP reduced by 15.6 mmHg at 1 day and 11.1 mmHg at 6 months, as well as an office systolic blood pressure reduction of 17.5 mmHg at 24 months Favorable impact on cardiac hemodynamics after 24 months of treatment (MODERATO I) Significant reductions in heart rate and end-diastolic volumeNo significant changes in end-systolic volume or ejection fraction, supporting safety Improvement in echocardiographic measures of diastolic function (MODERATO II) Significant increases in e’ and E/A ratio, indicating improved myocardial relaxation and diastolic compliance Potential to halt hypertensive heart disease progression Long-term follow-up demonstrates sustained blood pressure reduction with reversibility of effect and absence of rebound hypertension upon deactivationFavorable effects were reproducible after a 7-day washout period followed by reactivation, underscoring durability and reliability About Orchestra BioMed

About AVIM Therapy

AVIM Therapy is an investigational therapy compatible with standard dual-chamber pacemakers designed to substantially and persistently lower blood pressure. It has been evaluated in pilot studies in patients with hypertension who are also indicated for a pacemaker. MODERATO II, a double-blind, randomized pilot study, showed that patients treated with AVIM Therapy experienced net reductions of 8.1 mmHg in 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (aSBP) and 12.3 mmHg in office systolic blood pressure (oSBP) at six months when compared to control patients. In addition to reducing blood pressure, clinical results using AVIM Therapy demonstrate improvements in cardiac function and hemodynamics. The BACKBEAT (BradycArdia paCemaKer with atrioventricular interval modulation for Blood prEssure treAtmenT) global pivotal study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of AVIM Therapy in lowering blood pressure in patients who have systolic blood pressure above target despite anti-hypertensive medication and who are indicated for or have recently received a dual-chamber cardiac pacemaker. AVIM Therapy has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA for the treatment of uncontrolled hypertension in patients who have increased cardiovascular risk.

CDT Equity Inc. Announces Reverse Stock Split stocknewsapi
CDT
NAPLES, Fla. and CAMBRIDGE, United Kingdom, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CDT Equity Inc. (Nasdaq: CDT) (“CDT” or the “Company”), announces that its board of directors has approved a 1-for-8 reverse stock split of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s stockholders approved future reverse stock splits, their timing, and granted the board of directors authority to determine future exact split ratios, at the Company’s Special Meeting of Stockholders held on May 5, 2025. The directors expect that the reverse stock split will increase the amount of funds the Company might be able to raise to execute its strategy.

The reverse stock split will become effective on October 10, 2025, at 5:00 pm, Eastern Time (the “Effective Time”), and the Company’s common stock is expected to begin trading on a reverse stock split-adjusted basis on The Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) at market open under the existing ticker symbol, “CDT” on October 13, 2025, the date which has been approved by Nasdaq for the effectiveness of such split.

As of the Effective Time, every eight shares of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock will be combined into one share of common stock. The par value per share of the Company’s common stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001. Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company’s equity awards, convertible securities and warrants, as well as the applicable exercise price, and the number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive plans.

The Company’s common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq under the symbol “CDT” following the reverse stock split, with a new CUSIP number of 20678X403. After the effectiveness of the reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of common stock will be reduced to approximately 1,352,448. No fractional shares will be issued in connection with the reverse stock split, and stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to a fractional share will receive a proportional cash payment.

The Company’s transfer agent, VStock Transfer, LLC, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse stock split shares of common stock electronically in book-entry form are not required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage accounts or in “street name” will have their positions automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject to each broker’s particular processes, and will not be required to take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.

Provectus Biopharmaceuticals Positions PV-10 as a Differentiated Alternative to Traditional Vaccine Adjuvants; University of Calgary Research Highlights Novel STING-Pathway Activation for Improving Hepatitis B Vaccine Efficacy stocknewsapi
PVCT
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Provectus” or the “Company”) (OTCQB: PVCT) today announced the publication of independent preclinical research by Aru Narendran, MD, PhD and colleagues at the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine in Human Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics. Their paper demonstrates that PV-10, a formulation of the Company’s proprietary, pharmaceutical-grade active pharmaceutical ingredient rose bengal sodium, activates the body’s natural STING (stimulator of interferon genes) immune pathway, leading to stronger antigen presentation and more robust T-cell responses.

The article, titled “PV-10 as New Adjuvant Enhances Immune Responses in Hepatitis B Vaccination Through STING Pathway,” is available here.

This novel STING-pathway mechanism suggests that PV-10 could potentially represent a safer, more efficacious, and differentiated alternative to widely used vaccine adjuvants such as aluminum salts, emulsions, saponins, and nucleic acid–based fragments, many of which face questions around safety, reactogenicity, and long-term impact.

PV-10 as a Next-Generation Immune System Activator

Dr. Narendran and colleagues’ research showed that PV-10:

Stabilizes STING dimerization, a key step in activating the body’s innate immunity,
Upregulates pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines critical for the immune system’s adaptive responses, and
Significantly boosts IFN-gamma secretion by antigen-primed T cells.
These findings point to PV-10’s potential ability to rescue immune non-responders, individuals who fail to mount protection with current vaccines, and to serve as a cleaner immune system activator across infectious disease, oncology, and pandemic preparedness applications.

Dominic Rodrigues, President and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Provectus, said “We believe this research validates PV-10 as more than a cancer drug for injectable solid tumors, it can be a platform immune enhancer. By working through the natural pathway of STING that cells already use to recognize threats to our bodies, PV-10 offers the chance to potentially strengthen immunity without relying on historical or controversial vaccine additives. For patients, that could translate into the possibility of safer, more effective protection where current options fail. For investors, that could translate into expanding into multi-billion-dollar addressable markets such as infectious disease and oncology vaccines and preparedness programs.”

Market Opportunities

The vaccine adjuvant market is projected to exceed $2 billion annually by 2030. PV-10’s differentiated safety and mechanism potentially create significant optionality for Provectus across:

Infectious disease vaccines: Global vaccine sales are expected to surpass $70 billion by 2030, with a $1 billion-plus adjuvant subset. PV-10 could offer a safer alternative for the approximately 10% of healthy individuals who fail to respond to existing vaccines such as hepatitis B.
Oncology vaccines: A market projected to be more than $10 billion by 2032, where effective immune activation is critical, PV-10’s STING-mediated activity could complement immune checkpoint inhibitors that already generate more than $40 billion annually but need stronger T-cell priming to expand durable responses.
Preparedness programs: Governmental and non-governmental organizations spend billions of dollars each year stockpiling tools to respond to and counter epidemic and pandemic threats; safer, more effective, scalable vaccine adjuvants are a high-priority unmet need.
For patients, this means the potential for more reliable protection of groups often underserved by current vaccines, such as older adults, immunocompromised individuals, and those who never achieve immunity with existing formulations. For investors, it potentially further positions PV-10 at the convergence of multi-billion-dollar markets in infectious disease, oncology, and immune system health.

Cidara Therapeutics Receives U.S. FDA Breakthrough Therapy Designation for CD388 in Seasonal Influenza Prevention stocknewsapi
CDTX
Breakthrough Therapy designation comes in addition to previously awarded Fast Track designation

Cidara Therapeutics, Inc.

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cidara Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: CDTX), a biotechnology company using its proprietary Cloudbreak® platform to develop drug-Fc conjugate (DFC) therapeutics, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Breakthrough Therapy designation for CD388 for prevention of influenza A and B in adults and adolescents who are at higher risk of influenza complications due to underlying immunodeficiency, are at higher risk of severe influenza despite influenza vaccination, or those for whom vaccines are contraindicated.

“This Breakthrough Therapy designation, in addition to the previously awarded Fast Track designation, underscores the importance of CD388 as a potential new non-vaccine prophylactic for seasonal influenza,” said Jeffrey Stein, Ph.D., president and chief executive officer of Cidara. “Individuals who have chronic medical conditions, advanced age, or are immune compromised may not be adequately protected by current vaccines, leaving them at higher risk for infection and complications from flu. As a long-acting prophylactic drug, CD388’s activity does not rely on an immune response, making it a potential prevention option for high-risk individuals as well as those for whom vaccines are contraindicated. We look forward to advancing CD388 through our ongoing Phase 3 ANCHOR trial and submission of a Biologic License Application.”

The Breakthrough Therapy designation is based on positive results from the Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial in which CD388 provided statistically significant prevention of seasonal influenza in healthy unvaccinated adults aged 18-64. Top line data from the NAVIGATE study was announced in June 2025 and additional data will be presented at upcoming scientific conferences later in October.

A Phase 3 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD388, the ANCHOR Trial, was initiated at the end of September, six months ahead of schedule, in populations at high-risk for complications of influenza. Based on feedback from the FDA, the study population has been expanded to include generally healthy adults over 65 years old with no specific co-morbidities in addition to other high-risk populations with certain comorbidities and immune compromised status.

Breakthrough Therapy designation is intended to expedite the review of medicines that treat a serious or life-threatening condition and have shown preliminary clinical evidence indicating the potential for substantial improvement over available therapies. The benefits of Breakthrough Therapy designation include the eligibility for priority review, rolling submission of portions of the application, and FDA’s organizational commitment to involving senior management to provide guidance to the company to help determine the most efficient route to approval.

About Cidara Therapeutics
Cidara Therapeutics is using its proprietary Cloudbreak® platform to develop novel DFCs comprising targeted small molecules or peptides coupled to a proprietary human antibody fragment. Cidara’s lead DFC candidate, CD388, is a long-acting antiviral designed to achieve universal prevention of seasonal and pandemic influenza with a single dose by directly inhibiting viral proliferation. In June 2023, CD388 was granted Fast Track Designation by the FDA. Cidara announced positive top-line results from its Phase 2b NAVIGATE trial in June 2025 and initiated its Phase 3 ANCHOR trial in September 2025. Cidara is headquartered in San Diego, California.

South Atlantic Gold Acquires Additional 4.2k hectares of UAV Magnetic Survey Data and Appoints Mr. Matt Rees, P.Geo. stocknewsapi
JLRRF
Vancouver, BC – October 9, 2025 – TheNewswire - South Atlantic Gold Inc. (TSX-V: SAO) (“South Atlantic” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce two important developments: the acquisition of an extra  4.2k ha (“hectares”) of UAV magnetic survey data followed by a comprehensive review of the cumulative total of all UAV data  acquired to date (totaling 6.8k ha) at its Pedra Branca Project in Ceará State, Brazil, and the appointment of Mr. Matt Rees, P.Geo. as Technical Advisor to the Board.

Douglas Meirelles, President and CEO of South Atlantic Gold, commented:  

“We are excited to welcome Matt to our team. His 13 years of leadership at IAMGOLD, combined with his global exploration expertise will be invaluable as we advance Pedra Branca. At the same time, the recently acquired additional UAV magnetic survey data provides us with a powerful new dataset that, under the guidance of our Technical Committee, will sharpen our target definition and accelerate our path toward discovery and development.”  

UAV Magnetic Survey Review Underway

As part of its strategy to delineate priority drill targets and design the next exploration program at Pedra Branca, the Company has commenced a detailed review of the UAV magnetic survey data:  

Magnetic Data Reprocessing: The geophysics team has begun reprocessing the entire 6,800 hectares of UAV magnetic survey data (see Figure 1 map) using lowlatitude algorithms tailored to the region. This work is enhancing structural interpretation and highlighting crosscutting features of interest, and represents a small fraction survey area, across the Company’s districtscale Pedra Branca land package of more than 48,000 hectares 

Integration with 3D Modeling: The reprocessed data is being incorporated into the Leapfrog™ 3D geological model, enabling refined drill targeting and evaluation of mineralized continuity at depth. 

Technical Committee Oversight: South Atlantic’s Technical Committee has identified priority areas where magnetic anomalies align with geochemical trends and structural corridors, warranting follow-up mapping, sampling, and potential drill testing.  

Advancing the Oxide Starter Concept: In parallel, the Company is reviewing historical metallurgical data to assess the potential for a near-surface oxide starter operation, while continuing to evaluate deeper, high-grade orogenic gold targets.  

Appointment of Matt Rees, P.Geo., as Technical Advisor  

Mr. Rees brings over four decades of international exploration and operational experience. He holds a M.Sc. in Geology from the University of Saskatchewan (1992) and is a registered Professional Geoscientist (P.Geo.).  Previously he had been with IAMGOLD Corporation since 2012, serving as Manager of New Opportunities (2012–2018) and subsequently as Chief Geologist (2018–2025). His career also includes senior technical roles and advisory positions with several companies since 1989. Mr. Rees is also an active member of the Society of Economic Geologists (SEG). In 2023 he also assumed the Chair of the Industry Advisory Board to the Mineral Exploration Research Centre (MERC) under the Metal Earth (ME) project, part of the Harquail School of Earth Sciences at Laurentian University.

Next Steps  

- Completion of magnetic reprocessing and QA/QC.  

- Integration of results into Leapfrog™ for updated 3D targeting.  

- Field validation through mapping, soil and stream-sediment sampling.  

- Review of historical drill core for additional sampling opportunities.  

- Definition of priority drill targets for the next exploration program at Pedra Branca.

About Cadisegliatin

Cadisegliatin (TTP399) is a novel, oral small molecule, liver-selective glucokinase activator being investigated as a potential first-in-class oral adjunctive treatment to insulin for type 1 diabetes (T1D). In non-clinical studies, cadisegliatin, acting selectively on the liver, increased the activity of glucokinase independently from insulin, which supports clinical investigation of improvement in glycemic control through hepatic glucose uptake and glycogen storage.

Cadisegliatin is under investigation, and the safety and efficacy have not been established. There is no guarantee that this product will receive health authority approval or become commercially available for the use being investigated.

About vTv Therapeutics

vTv Therapeutics is a late-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing oral, small molecule drug candidates intended to help treat people living with diabetes and other chronic diseases. vTv's clinical pipeline is led by cadisegliatin, currently in a Phase 3 trial, a potential first-in-class oral liver-selective glucokinase activator being investigated for the treatment of type 1 diabetes. vTv and its development partners are investigating multiple molecules across different indications for chronic diseases.

About Uranium

In March 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order 14156 formally designating uranium as a U.S. critical mineral.1 This legal shift empowers federal agencies under the Defense Production Act to fast-track permitting, direct federal procurement, and prioritize uranium mining, conversion, enrichment, and fuel fabrication infrastructure across the country. A follow-on executive package on May 23 accelerated regulatory reform across the nuclear fuel cycle— including licensing of advanced reactors (Gen III/IV), small modular reactors (SMRs), microreactors, and establishing a goal of 400 GW of nuclear capacity by 2050—creating a supportive policy ecosystem for domestic uranium producers and enabling secure HALEU supply chains for next-generation reactors2.

Meanwhile, the uranium market is facing a historic supply–demand imbalance. Years of under investment and tightened geopolitical trade have compressed inventories and elevated prices. Spot uranium prices recovered from lows near US $63/lb in early 2025 to over US $80.00/lb as of October 20253, while long-term contracts and forward ceilings continue rising as utilities secure supply.4 At the same time, nuclear energy is increasingly viewed as a reliable, carbon‑free backbone for both energy security and climate goals, with Western governments doubling down on nuclear deployment and investing in domestic fuel chains, SMRs, and advanced reactor technologies.5 These tailwinds explain why the Company feels strategically positioned in uranium, eager to help to supply a market poised for structural growth and supported by strong public policy frameworks.

About Gamma Resources Ltd.

Gamma Resources Ltd. is a U.S.-focused uranium exploration and development company advancing high-quality assets in the Mountain West region. The Company’s portfolio includes the Green River Project in Utah, comprising 1,100 acres near prominent regional producers, and the Mesa Arc Project in New Mexico, a strategic land position now totaling 4,520 acres that includes historic uranium resources in the Chama Basin. Management believes the Company is uniquely positioned to benefit from the unprecedented policy and market tailwinds reshaping the U.S. nuclear landscape, and help meet this demand with responsibly sourced, U.S.-based uranium supply.

Gamma trades on the Toronto Venture Exchange (TSX-V: GAMA), OTC (OTCPK: MLLOF) and Frankfurt (FRA: MRDN).

Google launches Gemini subscriptions to help corporate workers build AI agents stocknewsapi
GOOG GOOGL
Google is taking another shot at selling businesses on artificial intelligence agents by introducing subscriptions featuring agents that perform specific work tasks.

Gemini Enterprise targets large organizations, starting at a monthly fee of $30 per person. Gemini Business, for smaller clients, costs $21 per person each month. The offerings enable corporate workers to build agents that draw on data from Box, Microsoft and Salesforce products.

Premade Google agents for software development, data science and customer engagement also come with the new Gemini subscriptions, along with access to agents from Workday and other companies. They include the capabilities of Agentspace, an agent building product Google announced in December. Google will upgrade current Agentspace clients to Gemini Enterprise or Gemini Business free of charge through the course of their contracts, a spokesperson said.

Gemini subscriptions come with Model Armor, a feature for inspecting and blocking requests and responses in AI chats, so organizations don't need to fuss with setting it up.

The launch comes three days after OpenAI showed how people can access tools from third-party apps in ChatGPT. Google and Microsoft, meanwhile, are looking to get enterprises hooked on agents that take care of some processes, so employees can do other things. Both companies sell services aimed at developers and at nontechnical workers. Neither Gemini Enterprise nor Gemini Business require coding.

"We've seen people from consulting services companies, telecommunications companies, software companies, hospitality companies and a variety of different manufacturing companies all using these, and in a variety of scenarios," said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google's cloud group, in a media briefing.

Kurian, who accelerated the unit's year-over-year revenue growth back above 30% in the second quarter, named cruise line Virgin Voyages as a Gemini Enterprise early adopter.

Firms are more likely to be exploring or testing AI agents than putting them into production, said Chirag Dekate, an analyst at technology industry researcher Gartner. But Google's handling of security and governance should ease concerns among big companies evaluating agent systems, Dekate said.

Google's new Gemini subscriptions depend on the company's Gemini AI models for working with text, images and videos. Google and other model makers regularly release new versions, and enterprises want to avoid getting stuck with lagging models when selecting agent software, Dekate said.

"How Google is able to leverage this unified messaging in the Gemini 3.0 launch sequence, which is coming soon, I think, will also be a crucial litmus test," he said. "In other words, will they be able to offer a same-day sort of innovation cycle, or is this going to be staggered in terms of adoption patterns?"

United just revealed new summer 2026 flights. Here's where you can fly nonstop stocknewsapi
UAL
United Airlines' summer 2026 international travel plan is out, and smaller European cities are in.

Starting April 30, United plans to fly from its hub at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey to Split on the Croatian coast — its second destination in the country. A day later the carrier is launching Newark to Bari in the popular Puglia region of southern Italy on the Adriatic Sea.

May 22 is the scheduled launch of a nonstop from Newark to Santiago de Compostela, in the Galicia region of Spain, the end of the famed Camino de Santiago pilgrimage trail.

The additions show United's latest bet on high-spending travelers looking for trips beyond major European capitals, and the chance to fly to those places nonstop, without connecting in big hubs. The carrier is vying with Delta for big-spending travelers. Most of the new routes are operated with airplanes outfitted with its ever-growing, lie-flat Polaris cabin.

United executives have long touted its vast international network as a driver for customer loyalty and sign-ups for lucrative travel rewards credit cards.

United's other additions include a May 21 debut from its Washington Dulles International Airport hub to Reykjavik, Iceland, and a daily, year-round nonstop from Newark to Seoul, South Korea, starting next September. It will also start a Newark to Glasgow, Scotland, flight on May 8, on a Boeing 737 Max 8.

Patrick Quayle, United's senior vice president of global network planning and alliances, said that destinations the carrier announced last year, including Nuuk, Greenland, will remain in the airline's schedule for 2026.

United is also planning to add a third daily flight to Tel Aviv from Newark starting March 28.

Bull of the Day: Montrose Environmental (MEG) stocknewsapi
MEG
Sometimes the best stocks aren’t the sexiest stocks. Sometimes they are in industries that nobody ever wants to talk about rather than the hot spots like AI and lithium. Today’s Bull of the Day is one of these boring stocks in a boring industry. But, there’s nothing boring about the profits the company is making or the regulatory tailwinds that are helping it along.

Today’s Bull of the Day is Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) Montrose Environmental Group ((MEG - Free Report) ). Montrose isn’t your average “testing” company. This is a full-stack environmental services platform that combines consulting, lab testing, air measurement, remediation, and now renewable energy solutions. Whether it’s cleaning up PFAS (“forever chemicals”), monitoring methane, or helping industrial clients meet new EPA guidelines, Montrose is at the forefront of the sustainability megatrend.

The reason for the favorable Zacks Rank is that analysts have come out and increased their earnings estimates for the current year and next year. The bullish moves have pushed up our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year from 66 cents to $1.34 while next year’s number is up from 83 cents to $1.36. That’s not just noise. Montrose has quietly beaten earnings expectations in four consecutive quarters, with an average surprise of 15 cents. Revenue growth has remained resilient, expected to climb over 15% this year as industrial demand and regulatory enforcement accelerate.

While the market loves its AI darlings, the real alpha may come from the boring names doing the dirty work. Montrose operates in a sector insulated from economic downturns. Reality is nobody’s cutting back on environmental compliance. In fact, as ESG scrutiny grows, Montrose’s testing and remediation backlog is expanding.

The stock’s technicals are also setting up nicely. It’s come strong off the Liberation Day lows. Recently, the 50-day moving average has been providing a lot of support on the way up. Over the last few days, the stock has been bouncing along the 50-day, approaching the swing high just over $31.

Bear of the Day: Core Natural Resources (CNR) stocknewsapi
CNR
Every now and then, a sector catches a tailwind so strong it lifts every name in the group, even the ones that don’t deserve it. That’s what’s been happening in natural resources this year. Oil and gas plays, miners, and energy infrastructure stocks have all enjoyed a run thanks to rising commodity prices and renewed investor appetite for “real assets.” But under the surface, not every name is pulling its weight.

Today’s Bear of the Day is Core Natural Resources ((CNR - Free Report) ), a stock that’s been lagging behind its peers despite the broader commodity rally. The company finds itself struggling with execution, inconsistent production volumes, and weakening profitability. That combination has analysts turning sour, and it’s showing up in the Zacks Rank. CNR currently carries a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell).

The reason for the unfavorable Zacks Rank is the recent negative earnings revisions coming from analysts. Our current year Zacks Consensus Estimate has tumbled from $5.37 to a loss of $1.10. Looking at next year, earnings estimates are off from $12.24 to $10.39. Granted, that is a huge amount of earnings growth coming down the pike. However, that comes on revenue growth of just 6.3% next year. This is also a stock that has run up from under $70 to $97 in a little over a month.

Core Natural Resources’ biggest problem isn’t top-line growth, right now it’s profitability. The company has been facing higher input costs, operational inefficiencies, and tougher contract terms in several of its core basins. Add to that a debt load that’s creeping higher due to capital spending on new projects, and you get an ugly balance sheet picture. Debt-to-equity now sits at a multi-year high, pressuring cash flow and limiting flexibility.

When analysts are cutting estimates, margins are shrinking, and debt is climbing, that’s not a recipe for outperformance. Core Natural Resources finds itself on the wrong side of the commodity cycle at the worst possible time. Until the company can reverse the earnings revisions trend, investors may want to stay on the sidelines.

The Coal industry ranks in the Bottom 14% of our Zacks Industry Rank. There are no stocks within this industry that are in the good graces of our Zacks Rank. There are two Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) stocks. These include Alliance Resource Partners ((ARLP - Free Report) ) and SunCoke Energy ((SXC - Free Report) ).

Luxembourg sovereign wealth fund invests 1% in Bitcoin ETFs cryptonews
BTC
2 minutes ago

Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund has allocated 1% of its nearly $900 million portfolio, or roughly $9 million, into Bitcoin ETFs.

10

Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth fund has allocated 1% of its portfolio to Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), marking one of the first such moves by a European state-backed investment entity.

Luxembourg’s Director of the Treasury and Secretary General Bob Kieffer revealed the investment in a Wednesday LinkedIn post. He said the country’s Finance Minister Gilles Roth revealed the decision during his presentation of the 2026 Budget at the Chambre des Députés, Luxembourg’s legislature.

Gilles Roth. Source: Wikimedia“Recognizing the growing maturity of this new asset class, and underlining Luxembourg’s leadership in digital finance, this investment is an application of the FSIL’s new investment policy, which was approved by Government in July 2025,“ Kieffer said.

Luxembourg’s Intergenerational Sovereign Wealth Fund (FSIL) has reportedly invested 1% of its holdings into Bitcoin ETF products. Considering the fund’s assets under management of about 764 million euros (nearly $888 million) as of June 30, this is equivalent to a placement of around $9 million into Bitcoin ETFs.

New framework signals strategic evolutionThe news may come as a surprise to those who have been following the country’s official stance on cryptocurrencies. The announcement follows late May reports that Luxembourg’s 2025 risk report classifies crypto companies as high-risk for money laundering, even as local institutions ramp up their crypto adoption efforts.

Kieffer noted that Luxembourg’s sovereign wealth will continue to invest in equity and debt markets, but is now also “authorized to allocate up to 15% of its assets to alternative investments,” including cryptocurrencies, real estate and private equity. Still, direct cryptocurrency holding was deemed too risky:

“To avoid operational risks, the exposure to Bitcoin has been taken through a selection of ETFs.”The new framework in question was announced back in late September and follows a review of the investment policy in mid-June. The announcement describes the change as a “significant evolution” and says that “this new iteration reflects the fund’s increased maturity and the need to better address the country’s economic, social, and environmental priorities.”

Kieffer acknowledged that the modest allocation might be seen as too conservative by some and too speculative by others. Still, he defended the decision as a balanced step forward.

“Given the FSIL’s particular profile and mission, the fund’s management board concluded that a 1% allocation strikes the right balance while sending a clear message about Bitcoin’s long-term potential,” he said.

Two Indicted in Tel Aviv Over $600,000 ‘Wrench Attack' on Bitcoin Trader cryptonews
BTC
In brief
A Herzliya crypto trader was reportedly stabbed twice and robbed of nearly $600,000 in crypto after three assailants ambushed him in his apartment building on September 7.
The attack lasted over an hour, with captors allegedly threatening his family and cleaning the crime scene with disinfectant before fleeing with Bitcoin, USDT, and a $50,000 Rolex.
A security expert reported 52 such "wrench attacks" globally in 2025, averaging one per week.
A crypto trader in Herzliya was allegedly bound, beaten, and stabbed in his own home during a brutal robbery that netted thieves approximately $600,000 in crypto, the latest victim in what security analysts are calling a global wave of “wrench attacks” targeting crypto holders.

The Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office indicted Murad Mahajna of Tel Aviv this week for orchestrating the home invasion alongside two accomplices, according to a local media report.

According to prosecutors, the repeat offender with ten prior convictions discovered that the victim owned Bitcoin and planned the attack on the father of two, who lives with his wife and daughters.

The ordeal took place on September 7, when three suspects allegedly ambushed the victim in his building’s stairwell, with two masked assailants forcing him inside, binding his hands with cables, and brutally beating him.

"We came to take money, we are from the Karaja family," Mahajna, who was not wearing a mask, allegedly told the victim, while initially demanding 500 BTC worth approximately $61 million.

Prosecutors claim that when the victim refused to surrender his wallet credentials, one assailant grabbed a kitchen knife and held it to his neck as Mahajna warned, “Let me get you out of this incident alive,” before stabbing him twice, once in each leg above the knee.

The victim finally yielded access to his accounts, allowing the assailants over the next hour to transfer $547,260 in Bitcoin and $42,248 in USDT to their wallets. They also seized a $50,000 Rolex, a laptop, a Trezor hardware wallet, €5,000, and several thousand shekels in cash, prosecutors said.

Fearing for his family’s safety, the victim stayed silent for several days before confiding in relatives, who urged him to go to the police; investigators arrested Mahajna on September 10 using recorded calls, voice analysis, and security camera evidence.

Bitcoin “wrench attacks”So-called “wrench attacks” in which crypto holders are physically attacked are on the rise.

Security researcher Jameson Lopp, who maintains a database tracking these incidents, tweeted that at the start of the year he had predicted 2025 would be "an all-time high for wrench attacks and we'd average one per week," adding that the incident in Israel is the 52nd such attack of the year.

September alone saw four wrench attacks globally, according to Lopp's database.

“My advice is to obscure any physical data and conceal carry, and unfortunately, in most of the world, you can’t do the latter,” Mehow Pospieszalski, CEO of decentralized wallet platform AmericanFortress, told Decrypt.

He said that weak cooperation between the crypto community and authorities has worsened the situation, with “law enforcement not exactly proactive about protecting founders” and a “vibe of mistrust” from the crypto side that hinders the very coordination needed to catch such criminals.

Last month, French authorities deployed 150 gendarmes to rescue a 20-year-old Swiss man found tied up in a house near Valence's high-speed train station in one such wrench attack.

ChatGPT Predicts BNB to Hit $2,500 This Year: Here Are Best Crypto to Buy It Recommends cryptonews
BNB
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

While tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum are struggling to push past new all-time highs, BNB is racking up new ATHs like a chef tossing pies in a packed pizza joint.

Keep reading as we dig into ChatGPT’s BNB price prediction, why it believes the token could explode another ~100% from current levels, and what the best altcoins to buy now are to make the most of this upcoming rally.

BNB Outpaces Bitcoin and AI Says It’s Far From Done
Bitcoin is up 55% since April and is experiencing a renewed bull run, achieving a new all-time high reached on Tuesday.

$BNB, meanwhile, is up 135% during the same period, proving it’s no longer just a diversification option in a long-term crypto portfolio, but quite easily one of the best cryptos to buy for significant gains.

Given that the token is now trading in new territory, with no previous resistances to face, it’s only natural for people to wonder where it might head next.

To answer that in the most objective way possible, we turned to ChatGPT, arguably the most powerful AI chatbot on the market.

It analyzed a wide range of real-time information, including price predictions on platforms such as X and Reddit, as well as the latest market updates from top publications. It then concluded that BNB could potentially reach the $2,500 mark in its current cycle.

ChatGPT’s BNB Price Prediction: The Breakout That Could Send It to $2,500
ChatGPT’s lofty BNB price prediction rests on the shoulders of a major technical breakout.

The AI noted that BNB’s latest rally is the result of the breakout from a long-drawn consolidation zone – one that lasted from May 2021 until as recently as June 2025.

When a four-year consolidation zone ends, prices usually rise. This kind of one-sided movement is what we have seen in BNB.

Even better, this BNB rally could be far from over.

According to ChatGPT, we can measure the width of this consolidation zone and map it onto the breakout level around $735 to arrive at BNB’s next potential target – which, in this case, comes out to around $2,500.

Want to make the most of BNB’s upside potential? Sure, go ahead and grab some $BNB tokens right away. Keep in mind, though, that it could mean leaving a lot of money on the table.

ChatGPT suggests the best way to maximize your returns in this bull run is by buying low-cap coins with explosive potential. Here are its top three suggestions.

1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Supercharging Bitcoin with Fast Speeds & Improved Programmability
Don’t mistake Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) for just another BTC-themed cryptocurrency project trying to ride the coattails of the largest crypto in the world.

Instead, $HYPER could be the catalyst behind Bitcoin’s explosive growth to $1M.

It’s building a new Layer-2 solution for the Bitcoin blockchain, aiming to finally bring Solana-like speeds, low fees, and Web3 compatibility to the otherwise sluggish and non-programmable network.

Currently, Bitcoin isn’t even in the top 25 fastest blockchains in the world, since it executes transactions one by one.

Hyper’s Layer-2, on the other hand, introduces parallel execution to Bitcoin through Solana Virtual Machine (SVM) integration.

This SVM will also enable developers to finally build smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) directly on Bitcoin.

As a user, this means you’ll gain access to high-speed DeFi trading apps, DAOs, governance tools, lending, staking, and gaming dApps, all running on Bitcoin itself.

Moreover, to enable seamless interaction with this new Web3 environment, Bitcoin Hyper offers a non-custodial, decentralized canonical bridge.

Simply put, it converts your Layer-1 Bitcoin into wrapped Layer-2 tokens, which you can then use on $HYPER’s Web3 applications.

It’s no surprise that Bitcoin Hyper ranks among the best crypto presales on the market right now, with over $22.76M already raised from early investors.

📚 Check out our detailed guide on how to buy $HYPER.

Each token is currently priced at just $0.013085, and here’s the best part: a $100 investment today could potentially turn into $2,400 before 2025 ends – according to this Bitcoin Hyper price prediction.

Join the Bitcoin Hyper presale today and be part of the Layer-2 revolution powering Bitcoin’s growth.

2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – New Crypto Wallet Combining Excellent Security & Ease of Use
If you want to ride the growth of the crypto wallet market, which is expanding at an eye-watering 21% CAGR, then consider buying Best Wallet Token ($BEST).

$BEST is the firepower behind Best Wallet, a free crypto wallet offering a powerful mix of top-notch security and class-leading ease of use.

Since it’s non-custodial, Best Wallet gives you complete control over your private keys.

Combined with excellent MFA options, including biometric login, you can rest assured that no third party can access your wallet without your permission.

Easily the best feature of Best Wallet is its ‘Upcoming Tokens’ section. As the name suggests, it contains new meme coins in presale, so you don’t have to scour the internet looking for new projects.

Even better, all tokens listed in this section are vetted by the internal Best Wallet team, so you’re further protected from potential rug pulls or crypto scams.

Here’s the kicker, though: Best Wallet aims to capture over 40% of the non-custodial crypto wallet market by 2027.

That’s why, to fuel this growth and include investors in the journey, it has opened its own presale for its native token $BEST. With over $16.4M in its presale kitty already, investors appear to be taking note.

That’s because you can get 1 $BEST today for just $0.025765.

Buy Best Wallet Token today – gain early access to crypto presales, higher staking rewards, voting rights, and reduced transaction fees.

3. Test ($TST) – Experimental BSC-Chain Meme Coin That Became a Community-Driven Movement
Test ($TST) is a classic example of how hype and community support can transform a simple experiment into one of the best meme coins.

$TST was originally created as a test token to demonstrate how to launch tokens on the BSC chain using the Four.Meme platform.

The BSC team posted a video on X showing the process, but the community quickly picked up on the token and its contract address. Before the sun had set, $TST became a top-trending crypto.

Although BSC deleted the video, it was too late. CZ Zhao, former Binance CEO, reposted it with the caption ‘Happy Trading,’ sparking massive trading volumes and rallying the community around a single mission – ‘Make BSC Great Again.’

Source: CoinMarketCap
Sure, $TST has seen its fair share of ups and downs, but it’s now showing signs of a strong comeback. The token is up over 33% in the last month, after bouncing sharply from support at $0.023.

Now, a weekly close above the 20 EMA (around $0.04159) could trigger a massive upward move, pushing $TST toward $0.073 – a chunky 110% gain from current levels.

Join the $TST hype train. Get it now on Binance.

Recap: With ChatGPT predicting that BNB could nearly double in the coming months, buying low-priced, high-potential tokens like Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER), Best Wallet Token ($BEST), and Test ($TST) could be the ultimate move.

Disclaimer: Investing in cryptocurrency carries significant risk. Always do your own research before investing. None of the above is financial advice.

CZ's YZi Labs Announces $1B Fund to Support BNB Chain Developers as Crypto Hits Record cryptonews
BNB
12h05 ▪

min read ▪ by
Ifeoluwa O.

Summarize this article with:

BNB reached a new all-time high of $1,336, marking a record for the cryptocurrency. Following this achievement, YZi Labs, the venture capital firm founded by Changpeng ‘CZ’ Zhao, announced a $1 billion fund to support developers building projects within the BNB ecosystem.

In Brief

YZi Labs, founded by CZ, announced a $1 billion fund to support developers building on the BNB Chain.
The fund aims to accelerate projects across sectors including DeFi, AI, DeSci, trading, payments, wallets, and RWA.
Participants will gain access to YZi Labs’ global network of investors, mentors, partners, and a user base of over 460 million.

Expanding Support for BNB Builders
Formerly known as Binance Labs, YZi Labs said the fund is intended to deepen its commitment to the growth of projects built on the BNB Chain, with a focus on long-term innovation. The initiative targets emerging sectors such as “trading, RWA, AI, DeSci, DeFi, Payments, Wallets — leveraging the high-performance, low-cost infrastructure of BNB Chain as well as the enhanced tools, funding, integrations, and 460M+ user ecosystem.”

A central feature of this plan is the integration of the Most Valuable Builder (MVB) accelerator into YZi Labs’ EASY Residency beginning in October 2025. The merger will create a single program dedicated to builders within the BNB Chain environment. Selected participants will be able to receive as much as $500,000 in direct funding and will gain close access to the core development teams at both YZi Labs and BNB Chain.

Beyond funding, participants will be able to connect with YZi Labs’ global network of investors, mentors, and business partners, as well as tap into its ecosystem of over 460 million users.

Past Contributions of YZi Labs
YZi Labs has actively supported innovation and strengthened institutional participation in the BNB ecosystem through initiatives such as

Supporting notable projects including PancakeSwap, ListaDAO, Aster, and Aspecta, all of which originated from the MVB program.
Expanding institutional participation through initiatives such as the BNB Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) by BNC, the RWA fund by China Renaissance, and the BNB Yield Fund in partnership with Hash Global.
Organizing global events and gatherings in Seoul and Singapore to bring together developers, investors, and partners.

Ella Zhang, Head of YZi Labs, described the blockchain ecosystem as “the next phase of digital infrastructure, where decentralization, on-chain scalability converges with security and real distribution.” She added that  “Through this $1B BNB Builder Fund, YZi Labs is committed to supporting BNB builders  across sectors such as DeFi, AI, RWA, DeSci, and more — those building the next generation of open systems that connect technology back to human progress.”

Record High for BNB and Impact on CZ’s Holdings
The announcement came at a particularly strong moment for BNB, which reached a new record on October 7. The cryptocurrency has solidified its position as the third-largest digital asset by market capitalization, surpassing Ripple’s XRP, with a total value of $182 billion. 

BNB has risen more than 27% over the past seven days and over 49% in the past month, along with a modest 1% increase in the last 24 hours. The surge has also led to a considerable increase in CZ’s holdings. As of June 2024, he reportedly owned around 64% of the total BNB supply, which, at the current valuation, is estimated to be worth approximately $116 billion.

Is Bitcoin a Millionaire Maker? cryptonews
BTC
The world's top cryptocurrency still has a bright (but volatile) future.

Bitcoin (BTC -0.67%) started trading at just $0.003 when the first Bitcoin exchange, BitcoinMarket.com, opened in March 2010. Today, Bitcoin trades at about $125,000 -- so a $10,000 investment in its earliest trade would be worth a whopping $416.7 billion today.

Even if you missed that billionaire-making gain, there were still plenty of opportunities to hop aboard the bandwagon and reap some millionaire-making gains. If you had invested $10,000 in Bitcoin a decade ago, your investment would be worth $5.08 million today.

But can Bitcoin churn more millionaire-making gains from a fresh $10,000 investment today? Let's review its upcoming catalysts and challenges to find out.

Image source: Getty Images.

What catalysts could drive Bitcoin's price higher?
Bitcoin is still mined with the energy-intensive proof-of-work (PoW) consensus mechanism. In this process, miners earn Bitcoin rewards by validating other Bitcoin transactions across its blockchain. They accomplish that by solving cryptographic puzzles with powerful chips. In the past, Bitcoin could be mined with simple CPUs and GPUs.

But every four years, a "halving" cuts its rewards in half and makes it more expensive to mine Bitcoin. The most recent halving occurred in 2024, and the next halving is scheduled to occur in 2028. Today, Bitcoins can only be mined for a profit with custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips. Bitcoin has a maximum supply of 21 million tokens.

Some 19.9 million of those tokens have already been mined, but the increasing difficulty of mining more Bitcoins will prevent its final token from being mined until 2140. That scarcity makes Bitcoin more comparable to gold, silver, and other hard commodities than many other cryptocurrencies.

That's why Bitcoin is often touted as "digital gold" and a hedge against inflation. Its similarities to gold also supported the Security and Exchange Commission's approvals of its first spot price exchange-traded funds (ETFs) last January. Those approvals made it easier for retail and institutional investors to boost their exposure to Bitcoin without a dedicated crypto wallet.

Big tech companies like Strategy are accumulating more Bitcoin as an alternative to cash, while countries like El Salvador have started accepting it as legal tender. Under the Trump administration, the U.S. launched its own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to hold its confiscated tokens and explore tax-free ways to accumulate even more Bitcoins. All of those catalysts, along with lower interest rates, could drive Bitcoin's price higher over the next few years.

What challenges could end Bitcoin's rally?
Bitcoin's future still looks bright, but more governments could tighten their regulations for Bitcoin trades. That's because it's emerging as a long-term threat to fiat currencies and traditional banking systems, and it's often criticized as a way to launder money or dodge taxes. A widespread crackdown on Bitcoin could drive away its big institutional investors.

Another emerging threat is the rise of quantum computing, which has the potential to crack the cryptographic puzzles used in Bitcoin mining at a much faster rate than classical computers. It could also be used to forge transactions across its blockchain. Most experts don't expect quantum computers to become powerful enough to shake up the Bitcoin market for another 15 to 20 years. But the looming threat of that potential disruption -- which challenges the notion that Bitcoin is "digital gold" -- may cap its long-term gains.

Lastly, a broader market crash could also drag Bitcoin lower. Even though the bulls might consider it a safe haven asset, it's stumbled in previous market downturns. With the S&P 500 hovering near its all-time highs and trading at a historically high 31 times earnings, the market might be ripe for a pullback -- and it could herald another crypto winter.

Will Bitcoin generate more millionaire-making gains?
Bitcoin's bulls expect its price to surge higher as more fiat currencies fizzle out and more institutional investors ramp up their purchases. Ark Invest's Cathie Wood claims Bitcoin's price could reach $2.4 million by 2030, while Strategy's Michael Saylor believes it could hit $21 million by 2046. If Bitcoin rises from its current price of $125,000 to those two targets, it would turn a $10,000 investment (0.08 BTC) into 192,000 by 2030 and $1.68 million by 2046.

Therefore, a fresh $10,000 investment in Bitcoin could potentially churn out more millionaire-making gains over the next two decades if everything goes right. But that growth trajectory will be incredibly volatile, and it won't come anywhere close to replicating its massive gains from the past 15 years.

Bitcoin Cash Price Prediction 2025, 2026 – 2030: Will BCH Hit $1000? cryptonews
BCH
Story HighlightsThe live price of Bitcoin Cash is  $ 574.16716103Price predictions for 2025 range from $300 to $710, with strong support at $300.By 2030, BCH could reach highs of $2,675, driven by increased adoption and transaction activity.With Bitcoin smashing through the $100K barrier, all eyes are now on Bitcoin Cash (BCH) as traders wonder—will BCH price follow with a banana move of its own? Beyond hype, Bitcoin Cash is proving its value in the real world. Ranked 4th on Crypwerk’s global adoption list, BCH is gaining traction for its speed, low fees, and merchant-friendly design. 

If you’re searching for answers to “Will Bitcoin Cash go up further?” — you’re not alone. In this Bitcoin Cash price prediction 2025–2030, we dive into the technicals and adoption trends shaping the next big BCH Price Prediction.

CryptocurrencyBitcoin CashTokenBCHPrice$574.1672 -0.94% Market Cap$ 11,446,924,874.2224h Volume$ 283,442,064.2529Circulating Supply19,936,571.8750Total Supply19,936,571.8750All-Time High$ 4,355.6201 on 20 December 2017All-Time Low$ 75.0753 on 15 December 2018CoinPedia’s Bitcoin Cash Price PredictionCoinpedia’s analysis suggests that Bitcoin Cash could potentially emerge as a more affordable version of Bitcoin. 

If Bitcoin Cash gains some hype in the coming months, then the BCH price can reach $701 in 2025. On the flip side, the BCH price can drop to $507 during that year.

We expect the BCH price to create a new 2025 high of $701 during the upcoming altcoin season.

Bullish: Flipping the $620–$640 zone into support unlocks $689 and further upside next month.

Bearish: A drop below $550 sends the price back to the $522 support, which must hold to prevent a deeper correction.

MonthPotential Low ($)Potential Average ($)Potential High ($)Bitcoin Cash Price October 2025422522689BCH Price Prediction 2025Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is exhibiting a major shift in its long-term trend after successfully breaking a multi-year resistance line, a line that had historically triggered bearish reversals in past bull markets. The powerful rally from April in 2025, fueled by market optimism, propelled BCH from $249 to a high of $640 in August.

This surge has produced consecutive bullish monthly candles, confirming a definitive breakout from a long-term descending triangle pattern on the monthly (1-M) chart. This breakout suggests the potential for a much larger rally, possibly revisiting previous all-time highs could be getting ready.

While the price briefly touched the $620–$640 range in mid-August, it closed the month at a key support of $522. Consolidation in the $530–$630 range has dominated September and October, making the upper bound of this range crucial for the next phase.

Bullish Case: A sustained daily close above the $620–$640 range will trigger an imminent retest of $689. Successfully holding above $689 would establish a “Change of Character (ChoCh)” on the monthly chart, officially signaling a major long-term trend shift. Continued momentum could realistically target $800, $950, $1200, and $1600 before year-end.

Bearish Case: A failure of the breakout thesis would see the price drop. If BCH loses critical support levels at $522 and $422, the $300 level is expected to act as a strong buffer against a further severe decline.

Bitcoin and Quantum Threat, Analyst Reveals Timeline to Act cryptonews
BTC
Key NotesQuantum computing threat to Bitcoin seems closer than many analysts think.Charles Edwards has advised developers and lovers of Bitcoin to act fast in guarding against this threat.He believes that quantum computing would be a major setback for Bitcoin’s $1 million price target.

cryptography soon, Charles Edwards, a crypto analyst, thinks the time to act to prevent this is closer. In his X post, he advised that a solution be found to the quantum computing threat by next year, especially if proponents “actually care about Bitcoin.”

Need to Stop Downplaying Quantum Computing Threat
In the last few months, there have been several conversations about quantum computers’ capacity to break Bitcoin’s ECDSA signatures through the Shor algorithm.

On Oct. 9, Charles Edwards urged developers and key players to take immediate action on the upgrades for quantum computing that are likely to impact Bitcoin.

Starting to wonder if those with big bags of BTC are saying Quantum risk is "10+ years out" nonsense because they want one last pump to sell into. If you actually care about Bitcoin, you speak up about this now. We must solve Quantum in 2026.

— Charles Edwards (@caprioleio) October 9, 2025

He believes that there is no better time to put an end to the threat than in 2026. The analyst pointed out how some large Bitcoin holders have downplayed the potential threat of the quantum-resistant upgrades.

Some of them have even said that quantum risk is “10+ years out.”

However, in Edwards’ opinion, these entities are making such statements to enable short-term BTC price pumps. A day before, the analyst emphasized that Bitcoin price would eventually not reach $1 million, as projected by many, if no solution is provided to the quantum computing threat.

Quantum Computing Disruption Is Closer Than Anticipated
Meanwhile, Craig Gidney, a Quantum AI researcher at Google, is one of those who have consistently warned that Bitcoin’s encryption is at risk. He pointed at the rapid advancements in quantum computing, noting that it is only a matter of time before the unspeakable happens.

Gidney revealed that breaking RSA encryption now requires 20 times fewer quantum resources than was previously estimated, which is another reason why caution should be taken. “I estimate that a 2048-bit RSA integer could be factored in under a week by a quantum computer with fewer than one million noisy qubits,” Gidney wrote.

In one of his papers from 2019, the quantum AI researcher had estimated that achieving such a breakthrough would require 20 million qubits and eight hours of computation. However, his recent estimate shows a significant revision.

Ethereum (ETH) price forms giant bull flag after $4,700 rejection, rebound incoming? cryptonews
ETH
ETH price has formed a highly bullish continuation pattern, a confirmed breakout above which could potentially push the token to a new all-time high in the coming months.

Summary

ETH price is down roughly 9% after failing to breach the $4,700 resistance earlier this week.
A multi-month bull flag pattern has formed on the weekly chart.

According to data from crypto.news, Ethereum (ETH) price fell 4% to an intraday low of $4,329 on Oct. 9 afternoon Asian time after bulls failed to breach the $4,600 resistance level late last night. At its current price, the token is down approximately 9% from its weekly high of $4,753, reached on Tuesday on the back of project-specific catalysts and a broader market rally sparked by renewed optimism across the crypto space.

The rally was fueled in part by the historically bullish sentiment that surrounds October, a month known for strong seasonal gains for cryptocurrencies. Strong inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs and macro tailwinds, such as expectations of dovish central bank policies, also contributed to the upbeat momentum.

However, the tide began to shift on Oct. 7, as Ethereum failed to break past the $4,700 resistance level for the second time over the past 30 days. The pullback was triggered by a combination of profit-taking by short-term traders, broad-based market liquidations, and a resurgent U.S. dollar, all of which weighed on investor sentiment and put downward pressure on ETH’s price.

As ETH price continued to slide downward following the recent rejection at higher levels, it has now formed a giant bullish flag pattern on the weekly chart. In technical analysis, this pattern emerges when an asset’s price rallies sharply and then consolidates in a downward-sloping channel, often signaling a pause before the next leg higher.

At press time, ETH was also trading above all key simple moving averages on the weekly chart, with the shorter-term SMAs still crossing above the longer ones, a classic bullish alignment that suggests continued strength and buyer control.

Meanwhile, momentum indicator RSI showed a reading of 61, which means that ETH still has room to run before it enters overbought territory, giving bulls more breathing space before any serious correction kicks in.

Zooming into the daily timeframe, the price action has also confirmed a golden cross, with the 50-day moving average crossing above the 200-day. The pattern is typically associated with long-term bullish momentum and historically followed by sustained price rallies.

For now, the key resistance level for the ETH price stands at $4,500, which marks a psychological barrier and aligns with the upper boundary of the bull flag pattern. 

A clean breakout above this zone could confirm the pattern and reignite ETH’s uptrend, initially toward $5,000, and potentially even toward the measured move target of $8,100, calculated by adding the height of the flagpole to the breakout point.

However, some market watchers urge caution, now that ETH has slipped close to a major support area. According to well-followed analyst Ted Pillows, Ethereum must hold the $4,250–$4,300 support zone to maintain its bullish setup. 

A decisive break below that range could invalidate the pattern, opening the doors for a deeper correction toward $4,000 in the coming weeks

From $180 to $60,000? Why Some Analysts Say Zcash Rally Is Just Getting Started cryptonews
ZEC
Zcash (ZEC) breaks $180 after a 400% rally, fueled by renewed investor confidence in privacy-focused crypto assets.Analysts project targets from $1,000 to $62,000, citing zk-SNARKs tech, halving cycles, and Grayscale’s ongoing accumulation.Regulatory threats loom as the EU and other nations move to restrict privacy coins, posing long-term risks to ZEC’s outlook.Zcash (ZEC) continues to show no signs of slowing down, breaking above $180 in October after a brief correction. Despite gaining more than 400% since August, many analysts believe the rally is only getting started.

What are their reasons? And what price range might be realistic for this privacy coin? This article breaks it down.

Sponsored

ZEC Returns to $180 — And Why This Might Be Just the BeginningThe bullish narrative for Zcash (ZEC) began when Grayscale, one of the world’s largest crypto investment firms, actively promoted its Zcash Trust (ZCSH). The fund emphasized that ZEC offers Bitcoin-like security with a superior layer of privacy.

However, in October, discussions around ZEC have gone even further. Investors are not satisfied with the recent rally and expect much higher targets.

Bullish arguments for ZEC share a common belief: privacy is not just a “meta trend,” but the original foundation of the crypto movement. The rise in Zcash’s price is viewed not as the cause but as a consequence of a “reawakening” to crypto’s core values.

This reawakening could attract significant capital inflows into Zcash, increasing ZEC prices.

Thor Torrens, an advisor to the Zcash project and a former US presidential staffer, shared an ambitious scenario: if just 10% of offshore wealth moved into Zcash, each ZEC could be worth $62,893.

“Friendly reminder that the Grayscale thesis is still in play. If just 10% of offshore wealth goes into Zcash, one ZEC can be worth $62,893 a coin,” Thor Torrens said.

Beyond the privacy narrative, analysts also highlight Zcash’s long-term potential, which is driven by zk-SNARKs technology, which enables fully anonymous transactions.

Others draw parallels between ZEC and Bitcoin, especially regarding their halving events. Zcash went through its second halving in November last year and has since entered a price discovery phase. Some analysts predict ZEC could surge to $20,000, mirroring Bitcoin’s historical trajectory.

“Bitcoin and Zcash both have the same fair, front-loaded emission curve, where it’s just miners dumping for the first eight years. Even Bitcoin couldn’t sustain a price above $1,000 until its second halving — after which it skyrocketed to $20,000,” analyst Arjun Khemani, said.

Even the most conservative forecasts are still far above ZEC’s current price of around $178.

“Zcash is now going to $1,000 by the way,” market analyst Tyler predicted.

Whether $1,000, $20,000, or $60,000 is achievable remains uncertain. Yet, ZEC has been one of Grayscale’s most heavily accumulated altcoins for years. Privacy on the blockchain remains a lasting theme, and many investors still view Zcash as a second chance at Bitcoin.

How Are Zcash Investors Overlooking the Risks?Not everyone shares the same optimism. Market analyst Maartunn provided a historical perspective: every major ZEC rally often coincides with market tops.

“ZCash (ZEC) pumps are usually a red flag for Bitcoin. Historically, these altcoin surges tend to happen near local and cycle tops,” Maartunn said.

Meanwhile, the positive buzz around Zcash has overshadowed serious regulatory concerns about privacy coins. These concerns have already led Monero (XMR) to be delisted from several exchanges and face intense selling pressure.

In May, the European Union passed new anti–money laundering (AML) regulations. The policy includes a plan to ban privacy tokens and anonymous crypto accounts starting in 2027, applying to financial institutions and digital asset service providers.

Other regions have taken similar actions. In 2023, Dubai’s government banned the issuance of privacy-focused cryptocurrencies such as Zcash (ZEC) and Monero (XMR). Japan prohibited privacy coins in 2018, followed by South Korea in 2021.

Investors may now need to consider key risks. Will other governments tighten regulations on ZEC? Could ZEC’s anonymity be exploited for illicit activities?

For now, these questions seem ignored amid October’s bullish sentiment. However, any regulatory announcement or enforcement action could quickly shift ZEC’s market trend and trader sentiment.

Ethereum Price Could Rally to $12,000 If History Rhymes — Here's Why cryptonews
ETH
Ethereum could peak between $8,500 and $12,200 if historical trends repeat in 2025.Key metrics like the 200-week average and realized price support ongoing ETH strength.Institutional inflows and macro ratios support optimism, but volatility risks persist.Ethereum’s price may reach new all-time highs by late 2025, with analysts projecting a potential cycle top between $8,500 and $12,200.

While historical data anchored to technical, on-chain, and institutional indicators support the case for a significant price surge, volatility remains a key risk.

Major Indicators Signal Elevated ETH Price TargetsEthereum was trading for $4,450 as of this writing, up by a modest 0.5% in the last 24 hours. The largest altcoin by market cap metrics approaches important bull market thresholds.

These projections rely on established metrics such as the 200-week moving average and realized price, which offer benchmarks for ETH in the current cycle.

The 200-week moving average (WMA) is a widely used barometer for market cycles. Currently, Ethereum trades about 92% above its 200WMA of roughly $2,400, a setup echoing the beginning of the 2021 rally.

During that cycle, ETH peaked at 492% above its 200WMA. If Ethereum repeats a similar performance and climbs 400% above this average, its price could hit $12,200.

However, more cautious models suggest a peak between $7,300 and $11,000 if ETH trades 200–350% over the 200WMA. These outcomes reflect historical patterns and detailed research from sources like The DeFi Report and prominent on-chain analytics platforms.

Michael Nadeau, the founder of the DeFi Report shared 5 scenarios for ETH price action:

1. If ETH trades 200% above its 200 WMA: $7.3k ETH
2. If ETH trades 250% above its 200 WMA: $8.5k ETH
3. If ETH trades 300% above its 200 WMA
4. If ETH trades 350% above its 200 WMA
5. If ETH trades 400% above its 200 WMA: $12.2k ETH
This aligns with a recent Standard Chartered prediction, which forecasted a $7,500 price target for the Ethereum price.

Additional market indicators reinforce these bullish projections. The realized price, a marker for the average price at which all ETH was last moved, has climbed above $4,000 in 2025.

Institutional Flows and Macro Correlations Add ConfidenceMeanwhile, institutional participation in Ethereum is at record levels, bolstering confidence in a sustained rally. Regulatory filings show strong fund inflows, with significant institutional exposure such as the iShares Ethereum Trust ETF, which reported over $4.4 billion in assets as of June 2025.

A 2025 survey from Ernst & Young found that most institutional investors believe in Ethereum’s staying power this cycle. This is attributed to regulated investment vehicles and improved risk management practices.

Macro market ratios further frame Ethereum’s growth potential. In 2021, Ethereum’s market cap reached 55% of Bitcoin’s. Should Bitcoin reach $150,000, and Ethereum repeat this ratio, ETH could approach $13,500.

Analysts also track the ETH-to-Nasdaq ratio; a return to historic highs in this metric would put Ethereum’s price between $6,000 and $9,500. Together, these comparisons present scenarios where fundamentals and market activity align for a higher cycle top.

Caution: Cycle Peaks Are Historically VolatileWhile bullish sentiment dominates outlooks for Ethereum, crypto cycles are often marked by rapid reversals. Reports from major analytics sources, such as Glassnode and Binance, emphasize that long-term support and resistance levels should be viewed as reference points, not guarantees. Investors should therefore conduct their own research.

Volatility remains high in 2025, and history shows that cycle tops may be followed by severe corrections, sometimes exceeding 80%. Thus, both risk management and measured optimism are crucial for investors.

Understanding how diverse on-chain metrics, price averages, and macro ratios interact can help Ethereum holders navigate volatility.

If historical patterns repeat, the next quarter may define this bull cycle’s final phase, presenting both opportunities and risks as the market advances through 2025.

Is a Bitcoin crash coming? These signs say yes cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin’s (BTC) recent rally and new all-time high beyond $126,000 are starting to show signs of overheating on Thursday, October 9, as the daily technical picture flashes historically fairly reliable indicators of a coming correction. 

Namely, the Tom DeMark (TD) Sequential, which identifies potential reversals by counting consecutive price bars, rose to 9 on the cryptocurrency’s 24-hour chart. 

This parameter, as on-chain crypto analyst Ali Martinez notes, has been quite accurate this year, as the same value presaged a 7% pullback in July and a 13% drop in August.

What’s more, Martinez’s analysis further suggests that the relative strength index (RSI) of 74.21 is likewise implying that “digital gold” is in the overbought zone.

At the same time, the +100 reading on the Chande Momentum Oscillator (CMO), a market momentum measurement that oscillates between -100 and +100 and often peaks just before market reversals, adds further support to the argument.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin is trading at roughly $121,750, down 0.59% on the day. If the RSI or CMO flatten or fall while the price remains the same or goes up, a bearish divergence would become likely.

A breakout still possible
On October 7, another prominent strategist, TradingShot, also predicted Bitcoin was due for a short-term pullback due to a key technical rejection at the higher highs trendline near $126,000.

This number, the reasoning went, has consistently capped price action since July 14 and acted as strong resistance throughout the crypto’s three-month consolidation, marking the top of several previous rallies.

Much like Martinez, TradingShot pointed out that this recent price denial closely mirrors price behavior from mid-July and mid-August, both of which led to significant retracements.

However, the analyst also added that a decisive breakout above the $126,000 resistance would invalidate this bearish setup and signal the start of a new upward trend.

XRP
TLDR:

Ripple joined forces with Bahrain Fintech Bay to drive blockchain and digital asset innovation in the Kingdom.
The deal expands Ripple’s regional presence after securing a Dubai Financial Services Authority license in 2025.
The partnership will enable proof-of-concept projects, education, and local fintech collaborations in Bahrain.
Ripple aims to introduce its RLUSD stablecoin and custody solutions to Bahrain’s financial institutions.

Ripple is deepening its roots in the Middle East with a new strategic partnership in Bahrain. The company, known for providing digital asset infrastructure to global financial institutions, has teamed up with Bahrain Fintech Bay, one of the Kingdom’s leading innovation hubs. 

The move comes after Ripple secured a regulatory license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority earlier this year. It marks another milestone in Ripple’s regional expansion as it works to establish a stronger presence across the Gulf.

The collaboration focuses on supporting blockchain adoption and fintech development within Bahrain’s growing digital economy. 

Ripple and Bahrain Fintech Bay plan to work together on real-world projects that push forward the country’s blockchain readiness. The partnership also aims to connect local fintechs with Ripple’s global expertise to nurture innovation.

Blockchain Collaboration Aims to Boost Bahrain’s Fintech Growth
According to a press release from Ripple, the partnership will include developing pilot projects and proof-of-concept initiatives across several sectors. These will involve blockchain-based solutions for cross-border payments, digital assets, and tokenization. 

Ripple and Bahrain Fintech Bay also plan to collaborate on training programs and local accelerator initiatives to support talent development.

Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa, said the Kingdom had been one of the first to regulate crypto assets. 

He noted that Ripple looks forward to offering its custody platform and Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin to local banks once frameworks allow. His remarks underline the company’s intention to become a long-term player in the region’s evolving financial ecosystem.

Suzy Al Zeerah, Bahrain Fintech Bay’s Chief Operating Officer, described the alliance as a bridge between global blockchain innovators and Bahrain’s local market. She added that the effort will enhance fintech innovation and support the creation of new financial solutions within the country’s ecosystem.

Ripple Strengthens MENA Presence Through Bahrain Entry
The expansion into Bahrain adds to Ripple’s growing portfolio of partnerships across the Middle East and North Africa. The company now holds more than 60 regulatory approvals globally, including the Dubai Financial Services Authority license secured in March 2025. 

Ripple’s involvement in regional fintech events like Fintech Forward 2025 further reflects its increasing engagement with local regulators and banks.

The partnership positions Ripple as a key contributor to Bahrain’s vision of becoming a blockchain and fintech hub in the Gulf. Through collaboration, infrastructure development, and education, Ripple aims to help advance financial innovation across the region.

Bitcoin and Ethereum are dragging lower amid massive volatility ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech today. Comments on dovish monetary policy amid the U.S. government shutdown and the mention of further Fed rate cuts could set the tone for crypto market recovery.

Crypto Market Awaits Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s Speech
Broader crypto market recovery after a dovish FOMC Minutes release indicated that traders are pressing for further upside momentum. However, BTC and ETH prices have dropped again ahead of Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s speech at 8:30 AM ET at the Community Bank Conference.

FOMC Minutes data revealed that most FED officials support easing monetary policy further this year. With key economic data reports on hold amid the US government shutdown, markets rely on Powell’s speech to offer hints of further Fed rate cuts.

CME FedWatch tool showed two Fed rate cuts this year, with a 25 bps rate cut in October and another rate cut in December. The probability of a 25 bps rate cut by the central bank is 80% in December.

Also, the U.S. Dollar Index (DXY) climbed above 99 today, hitting a 2-month high. The 10-year US Treasury yield surpassed 4.13. This happens due to “debasement trade” amid the US government shutdown, as investors shift toward gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

Bitcoin, Ethereum Records Massive Liquidations
Over $156 million in long positions were liquidated in an hour, with Bitcoin and Ethereum dragging the broader crypto market lower. Over $550 million in total liquidation was recorded in the last 24 hours. This comes as a day after $700 million in liquidations caused a crypto market crash on Wednesday, according to Coinglass data.

More than 155K traders were liquidated in the last 24 hours, with the largest single liquidation order of BTCUSDT worth $8.53 million on crypto exchange Binance. Notably, more than $360 million in long positions and $180 million in short positions were liquidated over the last 24 hours.

Bitcoin bullish sentiment is supported by spot Bitcoin ETF inflows. However, popular analyst Ali Martinez highlights BTC sell signals, with RSI and the ChandeMO flashing overbought signs. The RSI touched 74.21 and ChandeMO has reached 100.

Moreover, the TD Sequential flashed a sell signal on the BTC daily chart. “Historically, this signal has been fairly reliable,” he added. The last time it flashed a sell signal, BTC price fell 13%.

Bitcoin price is trading at 1% lower at $121,779. The 24-hour low and high are $121,191 and $124,167, respectively. Whereas Ethereum price fell over 3% to $4,336, with an intraday low and high of 4,324 and 4,556, respectively.

Flare Network Surpasses $43M in Bridged XRP, Expert Predicts Breakout to New ATH cryptonews
FLR XRP
Why Trust CoinGape

Our journal analysts bring years of experience in market analysis and blockchain technology to ensure factual accuracy and balanced reporting. By following our Editorial Policy, our writers verify every source, fact-check each story, rely on reputable sources, and attribute quotes and media correctly.

From emerging blockchain projects and coin launches to industry events and technical developments, we cover all facets of the digital asset space with unwavering commitment to timely, relevant information.

Flare Network has recorded over $43 million worth of XRP now bridged onto its blockchain. This comes as a crypto expert predicts a potential breakout that could push the token toward a new all-time high (ATH).

Flare Network’s Hit Liquidity Milestone
In a recent X post, Flare Network co-founder Hugo Philion confirmed that the network now hosts $43 million in bridged XRP.

The assets were used to mint FXRP, a wrapped version of the altcoin native to the Flare blockchain. Users can engage in activities like lending and yield generation with the token without having to sell their primary holdings.

This milestone follows the launch of Flare’s stablecoin backed by XRP via Enosys Liquity V2.  For DeFi protocols developed on the network, the stablecoin offers deeper liquidity and improves capital efficiency.  Wrapped Flare (wFLR) is used as collateral for the stablecoin, increasing its on-chain usefulness.

The stablecoin product came after Flare Network rolled out Firelight. It is an institutional-grade product designed to deploy billions of XRP on the network. Firelight helps investors earn yield by using a liquid staking system.

Furthermore, the network reported that more than 15 million tokens are currently in motion on its network. This suggests that users experimenting with the FXRP model are adopting it more frequently.

Data from Dune Analytics further shows that demand for FXRP is increasing. Daily transactions and wallet interactions have been rising steadily since the feature launched.

Expert Sees XRP Rally Toward New Highs
The strong on-chain activity has sparked bullish predictions from analysts. Prominent expert EGRAG CRYPTO described the current market structure for the token as “super bullish.” 

Source: X
The expert also noted that the asset remains technically sound above the $2.77 mark. He argued that short-term volatility is merely “noise” ahead of a major upward move. EGRAG predicted that the token might soon break through its past high to reach a new all-time high (ATH). 

He noted that increased investment from institutions could lead to a lasting price rise when the market conditions are right.

Adding to the bullish backdrop, institutional interest in the altcoin continues to rise. Recently, Reliance Global Group added XRP tokens worth $17 million to its digital asset collection. This purchase shows a trend of companies diversifying by holding this token. 

Additionally, there is growing excitement as the U.S. SEC is set to review several applications for XRP ETFs in October. Approval could make the altcoin the third significant cryptocurrency to obtain U.S.-listed ETF status, with companies like Greyscale, Bitwise, and WisdomTree among the applicants.

Two of the largest digital asset managers, Bitwise and 21Shares, have made a notable update to their Ethereum and Solana ETF filings that could signal a shift in how crypto exchange-traded products operate in the United States.

According to amended S-1 statements filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), both issuers now reference the possibility of staking Ethereum and Solana holdings within their funds.

If approved, this change would allow these ETFs to earn staking rewards, the income generated by helping validate transactions on proof-of-stake blockchains. Until now, U.S.-listed crypto ETFs have been limited to holding underlying assets passively, without the ability to participate in network consensus.

The amended filings, submitted this week, come after several months of quiet lobbying from ETF issuers seeking regulatory clarity around staking income. While the inclusion of this language does not mean the SEC has approved the feature, it indicates that the agency is at least considering the idea.

Analysts view this as an early sign that the SEC’s stance on staking may be softening, especially given the growing pressure to allow ETFs to compete with on-chain yield opportunities available to retail and institutional investors abroad.

What staking inside an ETF could mean for ETH and SOL yieldsFor Ethereum, current staking rewards range between 3% and 4%, while Solana’s rewards typically fall between 7% and 8% annually. ETF management fees for these funds are generally around 0.20% to 0.30%, meaning that if staking proceeds are distributed to holders, the yield could cover or even exceed the fund’s fees.

Such a change could transform how ETF issuers compete in the market. Instead of focusing solely on management costs and liquidity, future funds may also compete on net yield, creating a new performance metric for investors comparing crypto ETFs.

While the SEC has not yet commented on these amendments, the filings suggest that staking could soon move from the on-chain economy into traditional financial products, bridging a gap between DeFi incentives and regulated investment vehicles.

“The Kingdom of Bahrain has emerged as an early adopter of blockchain technology, and was one of the first jurisdictions globally to regulate cryptoassets,” said Reece Merrick, managing director for the Middle East and Africa at Ripple. “At Ripple we look forward to working with Bahrain Fintech Bay to continue laying the foundations for a thriving local blockchain industry, as well as ultimately offering our digital assets custody solution and stablecoin RLUSD$0.9996 to Bahrain’s financial institutions.”

Under the agreement, Ripple and Bahrain Fintech Bay will collaborate on pilot projects, educational programs, and local accelerator initiatives aimed at expanding digital-asset use cases such as tokenization, cross-border payments, and stablecoin applications.

Ripple is also participating at the Fintech Forward 2025 conference in Sakhir this week, alongside regional banks, regulators, and global fintech firms.

“Bahrain has long been recognised as a financial services hub, and today this legacy is being further enhanced in the digital assets and blockchain space,” said Suzy Al Zeerah, chief operating officer at Bahrain Fintech Bay. “This partnership with Ripple reflects Bahrain FinTech Bay’s commitment to bridging global innovators with the local ecosystem, creating opportunities for pilots, talent development, and cutting-edge solutions that will shape the future of finance.”

Ripple, which operates over 60 regulatory licenses and registrations globally, said the partnership will help position Bahrain as a potential hub for compliant blockchain deployments in the Gulf region.

The company’s RLUSD stablecoin, designed for enterprise use and regulatory clarity, has become central to its strategy of linking tokenized assets with traditional payment infrastructure.

Did XRP Just Lose Most Important Support of 2025? cryptonews

The 100-day EMA, which has frequently served as the boundary between recovery and decline, is one of XRP’s most significant technical levels of 2025, and it has now been officially broken through.

XRP in troubleA decline toward $2.50 in the near future may be accelerated by the breakdown, which indicates that XRP is having difficulty finding any significant support. XRP has lost about 3% in the past day, wiping out several days of gains, and is currently trading at about $2.179.

XRP/USDT Chart by TradingViewA structural shift in sentiment is reflected in the move below the 100 EMA (orange line on the chart), which is more than just a temporary correction. Throughout Q4, the 100 EMA served as a dynamic support level, enabling XRP to hold onto its range in spite of macro uncertainty. The technical outlook is now firmly bearish after it was lost.

HOT Stories

The 200-day EMA, which has historically been a powerful defensive zone for XRP, is located close to $2.64, the next significant support. The path of least resistance, however, points downward as volume tapers off and momentum indicators like the RSI drift below 45. A retest of $2.50 appears not only feasible but also more likely if the price is unable to hold above $2.64.

XRP stepping downThe fact that XRP keeps printing lower highs within a larger descending triangle pattern, indicating ongoing weakness, adds to the pressure. The market’s skepticism regarding the token’s short-term potential is strengthened by each unsuccessful rebound, and traders are now watching the $2.50 zone as the final possible pivot point before a more significant correction occurs.

It is unlikely that the market will experience a sustained bullish reversal this quarter unless XRP can swiftly regain the 100 EMA and set new higher lows. The technical structure indicates that XRP is approaching a vulnerable phase, which could reshape its trajectory for the rest of 2025, as momentum is waning and no obvious catalyst is in sight.

XRP's $3 Moment Looms Closer as XRPL Unveils Game-Changing Institutional Privacy Upgrade cryptonews
XRP
XRP Poised for Breakout as Analyst Eyes $3 Threshold Amid ETF Buzz and Whale AccumulationMarket analyst CryptoBull predicts XRP won’t stay below $3 for long, citing bullish chart patterns, heavy investor accumulation, and growing optimism around a potential ETF approval as catalysts for an imminent breakout.

Source: CryptoBullAfter months of consolidation, XRP is showing renewed strength, trading around the $2.80–$2.90 range and testing a crucial resistance level that has historically capped rallies. 

CryptoBull notes that a decisive move above $3.30 could trigger a parabolic surge, potentially setting new multi-year highs. At the time of this writing, XRP was trading at $2.81 per CoinGecko data. 

Institutional demand is emerging as a major catalyst behind XRP’s renewed momentum. On-chain data shows accelerating whale accumulation, with multiple wallets adding millions of tokens in recent weeks. 

According to CryptoBull, these large investors appear to be positioning ahead of a potential XRP ETF announcement, a move that could dramatically boost liquidity and investor confidence.

The ETF narrative is gaining momentum as reports reveal major asset managers are exploring XRP-linked products, echoing the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs that have drawn billions in inflows. 

A potential XRP ETF could mark a pivotal moment for institutional adoption, leveraging Ripple’s expanding footprint in cross-border payments and real-world financial integration via the XRP Ledger.

XRP Ledger Unveils Privacy Tools to Drive Institutional AdoptionAccording to CMC News, the XRP Ledger has launched a suite of privacy tools designed to make its blockchain more appealing to institutional users, marking a major step toward positioning XRPL as a leading platform for enterprise-grade finance.

Ripple’s senior director of engineering and cryptographer, J. Ayo Akinyele, detailed the initiative in a recent blog post, emphasizing a privacy-first roadmap that preserves blockchain transparency. 

The strategy highlights Ripple’s push to bridge public blockchain innovation with the confidentiality demands of banks, governments, and global enterprises.

Akinyele explained that the new privacy framework enables sensitive transaction details, such as amounts, counterparties, and asset types, to remain encrypted while still allowing full auditability through cryptographic proofs. 

This breakthrough strikes a critical balance between confidentiality and transparency, addressing one of the biggest barriers to institutional blockchain adoption, touching on protecting proprietary or regulated data without undermining network trust or integrity.

Notably, the roadmap advances Ripple’s push to embed cutting-edge cryptography— including zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) and multi-party computation (MPC)—into the XRPL’s core architecture. These innovations are widely viewed as key to building the next generation of scalable, privacy-preserving financial networks.

Therefore, this development could position the XRPL as a leading settlement layer for institutional finance, especially as global regulations evolve to embrace digital assets across banking, payments, and securities markets.

Its privacy-first architecture may also give Ripple a competitive edge in onboarding central banks and enterprises pursuing tokenized assets and CBDC initiatives.

ConclusionXRP’s outlook appears bullish but not guaranteed, rising whale accumulation, upbeat ETF speculation, and tightening technical patterns point to a strong probability of an upward breakout, but a decisive close above $3 is needed. 

Ripple’s privacy-first evolution of the XRP Ledger marks more than a technical milestone, it’s a strategic shift toward institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. By integrating cryptographic privacy, auditability, and regulatory compliance, Ripple is creating a trusted on-chain environment for banks, payment networks, and enterprises.

As global finance accelerates toward tokenization and digital settlement, XRPL’s blend of transparency and confidentiality positions it as a crucial bridge between traditional finance and decentralized innovation, elevating it from a fast payments network to a cornerstone of the next-generation financial system.

Is XRP a Good Investment Right Now Before the ETF Approval? cryptonews
XRP
XRP has once again found itself at the center of bullish predictions, with prominent crypto analyst Dark Defender believes the token is setting up for a massive breakout, just like it did in 2017 before prices exploded. 

By looking at XRP’s chart patterns, he suggests the coin could target between $6 and $7 if it keeps its momentum alive.

XRP’s 2017 Impulsive WaveDark Defender began with XRP’s historic 2017 rally, he notes that it followed a clear impulsive wave pattern that pushed prices to all-time highs $3.4. 

Meanwhile, Momentum indicators like the Relative Strength Index (RSI) showed strong upward force, while XRP consistently traded above the Ichimoku Clouds, a sign of heavy bullish control. Even technical corrections formed healthy patterns that paved the way for higher gains.

2021 The Correction Phase For XRPHowever, the 2021 cycle was far weaker. Dark Defender noted that XRP’s rally was a corrective structure following the 2018 crash. The RSI showed fading strength, XRP struggled below the Ichimoku Clouds, and candles never managed to break decisively above key resistance levels of $1.96.

Adding to the pressure, Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the SEC created uncertainty, keeping XRP from repeating its previous success.

Source : Dark Defender X postWhy 2025 Feels DifferentAs of now, Dark Defender says XRP is showing strong bullish signs again, trading above both the Ichimoku Clouds and Exponential Moving Averages. Meanwhile, RSI momentum now mirrors the strength seen in 2017, not the weakness of 2021.

According to the analyst, XRP’s recent breakout could be the start of a larger move. If the momentum continues, he expects XRP to target between $6 and $7 in the coming months.

Dark Defender ended by reaffirming his optimism, saying XRP and the broader crypto market are entering “a new era” of growth.

FAQsHow much will XRP reach in 2025?

Analyst Dark Defender predicts XRP could hit $6 to $7 in 2025, driven by strong bullish signals like trading above Ichimoku Clouds and robust RSI momentum.

How much will 1 XRP be worth in 2030?

Based on compounding growth and adoption, projections estimate XRP could trade around $26.50 by 2030, with averages near $19.75.

Can XRP make you a millionaire?

Hypothetically, yes—if XRP reaches $500+ and an investor holds a significant amount (e.g., 2,000 XRP). However, this is speculative and depends on extreme long-term growth.

Ethereum Foundation's Privacy Push Brings Monero and Zcash Back Into Focus cryptonews
ETH XMR ZEC
The Ethereum Foundation’s latest move—forming the Privacy Cluster under its Privacy & Scaling Explorations (PSE) team—has reignited the conversation around on-chain privacy. This cluster unifies Ethereum’s privacy research and development into three key pillars: Private Reads, Private Writes, and Private Proofs. Together, these aim to make privacy a native property of the Ethereum network rather than an optional add-on. 

By focusing on user data protection, metadata minimization, and zero-knowledge infrastructure, Ethereum is taking a significant step toward secure and confidential blockchain interactions. This initiative also signals the Foundation’s recognition that privacy isn’t just a user demand—it’s a technological necessity as Ethereum evolves into a multi-layer, institutional-ready ecosystem.

What the Privacy Cluster Means for the MarketThe creation of Ethereum’s Privacy Cluster could reshape how developers, enterprises, and users interact on the network. The roadmap includes implementing stealth addresses, zk-proof-based identity systems, and confidential DeFi tools that allow transactions and governance without exposing sensitive data. For institutions exploring blockchain adoption, such features can enable compliance-friendly privacy, where financial information remains confidential but verifiable when needed. 

Retail users, meanwhile, could benefit from simpler, wallet-integrated privacy tools. Beyond technical advances, this shift strengthens Ethereum’s market perception as the leading ecosystem for innovation in zero-knowledge cryptography. By normalizing privacy as a core feature, Ethereum may attract a new wave of developers and investors seeking both transparency and discretion in decentralized finance.

The Impact on Privacy TokensThe Privacy sector has emerged as the top-performing category in the crypto market, surging over 65.3% in the past 30 days, according to Artemis data. This rally is largely fueled by the Ethereum Foundation’s announcement of the “Privacy Cluster,” a new initiative aimed at advancing privacy solutions across the Ethereum network. The move signals a growing institutional and developer focus on on-chain data protection, zero-knowledge technology, and user confidentiality. 

Source: XWhile most sectors, including AI and DeFi, have seen double-digit declines, the privacy narrative is attracting fresh liquidity and market attention. Analysts suggest that as Ethereum strengthens its privacy framework, projects enabling secure transactions and decentralized identity could experience significant upside momentum. With privacy becoming a mainstream priority, tokens in this segment may continue to outperform as the next wave of innovation unfolds within the Ethereum ecosystem.

Privacy Tokens That Could BenefitWith Ethereum now prioritizing privacy tooling, several privacy-focused tokens could gain traction. Monero (XMR) and Zcash (ZEC), long-time leaders in confidential transactions, may see renewed investor attention. Meanwhile, Oasis Network (ROSE), Secret Network (SCRT), Aztec, and Railgun—which align closely with Ethereum’s privacy vision—are positioned for developer integration and DeFi use cases. Projects leveraging Polygon’s zkEVM could also emerge as major winners.

Wrapping it UpDespite the optimism, privacy tokens still face regulatory headwinds and exchange delistings tied to AML/KYC compliance. Ethereum’s privacy initiative, however, hints at a middle ground—privacy with selective disclosure and compliance support—which could legitimize this sector in the long run.

Ethereum’s Privacy Cluster might not spark an immediate rally, but it signals a deeper structural shift. As privacy becomes an embedded norm rather than a niche option, the privacy token narrative could evolve from regulatory risk to technological necessity—redefining how blockchain protects user identity and financial data.
