ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Sustainable Green Team, Ltd. (OTC: SGTM) today filed three additional U.S. provisional patent applications, bringing its total intellectual property portfolio to more than 25 filings (23 provisional), multiple issued patents, and a comprehensive trademark suite.

These three new filings are the latest chapter in a lifetime of commitment to the tree-care, arborist, and landscape industry. For two decades SGTM has lived inside this world — cutting trees, hauling debris, grinding mulch, and solving every pain point along the way. That real-world experience has now produced SGTM Restore™, the only licensed, vertically protected operating system that turns the daily output of arborists and landscapers into clean energy, regenerative soil, and tokenized wealth, while automatically donating 10 % of every token to humanity.

Watch the 4½-minute vision that started it all → Watch the Restore™ Video

Tony Raynor, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, stated:

“This isn’t three patents.

This is a lifetime inside the industry — every load hauled, every yard run, every storm cleanup — distilled into the only operating system that finally rewards the people who have been feeding the planet’s restoration engine all along.

Arborists and landscapers aren’t just cutting trees anymore.

They are generating clean energy that powers tomorrow’s AI, soil that heals 9 billion acres of degraded land, and tokenized wealth that puts money back in their pockets — with 10 % automatically feeding the hungry and rebuilding the Earth.

We’re not done filing patents.

We’re just getting started handing this industry the future it deserves.”

Blue Foundry Bancorp

LANCASTER, Pa. and RUTHERFORD, N.J., Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Fulton Financial Corporation (Nasdaq: FULT) (“Fulton”) and Blue Foundry Bancorp (Nasdaq: BLFY) (“Blue Foundry”) today announced that they have entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which Fulton will acquire Blue Foundry in an all-stock transaction.

Under the terms of the definitive merger agreement, each share of Blue Foundry common stock will be exchanged for 0.6500 shares of Fulton common stock. Based on Fulton’s share price of $17.96 as of November 21, 2025, the transaction is valued at approximately $243 million, or $11.67 per share of Blue Foundry common stock.

This transaction accelerates Fulton’s growth efforts in the attractive northern New Jersey market. The transaction is expected to be accretive to first full-year earnings by over 5%, immediately accretive to tangible book value per share and neutral to regulatory capital ratios at close.

The boards of directors of both Fulton and Blue Foundry have unanimously approved the definitive merger agreement. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals and approval by Blue Foundry’s stockholders.

“We’re bringing together two community-focused banks with shared values and a strong commitment to making banking personal for each and every customer,” said Curtis J.

The expansion in northern New Jersey aligns with our strategy of growing in our local markets and positions us well to drive organic growth across our commercial, consumer, wealth advisory and mortgage businesses.”

You thought you had it bad for holding Bitcoin (BTC) all the way through this retracement to a 36% price decrease. Those who held on to memecoins saw their positions devalue 70%, 80%, and even more than 90%. Are a lot of the memecoins going to zero now, or is there one more round left in the chamber for some of them? $PEPE, $BONK and $WIF are analysed.

$PEPE on the brink - bulls need to come in here

Source: TradingView

The weekly chart for $PEPE looks fairly miserable. What was reasonably strong horizontal support down to $0.00000530 has failed to hold. While the price is currently at some kind of support at $0.00000432, this is quite tenuous, and the merest hint of more selling could easily take the price down to what is the last proper horizontal support at $0.00000157.

All this said, if Bitcoin does turn things around and a decent rally takes shape, traders will want some leverage and they will jump onto the memecoins again. With $PEPE it will be a case of monitoring the descending trendline. If the price is able to confirm above, that would be a possible entry point.

Rock bottom for $BONK

Source: TradingView

While $BONK is probably the undisputed top memecoin for the Solana network, it is practically at absolute rock bottom as far as price goes. If it’s a comfort to the bulls, this is a strong horizontal support, although for a memecoin, how strong can support lines really be?

That said, it is holding so far. Also, if it continues to hold through this next 2 week period, the descending trendline will be breached. The last time this happened, it led to a 359% rally. 

The Stochastic RSI indicators have all but dropped to the bottom. Therefore the upside price momentum needed for another huge rally may not be too far off. Assuming a breakout does take place, putting a tight stop loss below the descending trendline would help to protect from a fake-out. Caution: stop losses for memecoins may not trigger.

Is a 4x still a possibility for $WIF?

Source: TradingView

The $WIF price looks to be in last-chance saloon. This last horizontal support level has to hold at 0.34. If this fails, zero would definitely be on the table as a target. 

That said, where there’s life there’s hope. An imminent cross-up for the Stochastic RSI indicators could signal an end to the misery. If the price does rise from here, and is able to break the downtrend, $0.85 and $1.38 are targets. This could mean a possible 4x from here. Anyone brave enough to take a punt?

Speaking at Devconnect ARG on November 17, he contrasted centralised companies with decentralised communities, emphasising how trust works in different systems. FTX, once a leading crypto exchange, relied on blind trust from users and investors. Its downfall revealed the risks of centralisation, where a single entity controls funds and decision-making.
Ethereum, by contrast, replaces trust in individuals with verifiable systems, allowing anyone to confirm transactions and smart contract logic. This approach shifts the narrative from “I build for you” to “we build together.”

Decentralisation Versus Centralisation
FTX serves as a cautionary tale for investors. Users trusted the exchange to safeguard assets, assuming management would act responsibly. When mismanagement and opaque practices surfaced, billions of dollars of customer funds vanished. In contrast, Ethereum’s decentralised design ensures that no single party controls the network. Each transaction is recorded on a public ledger and validated by nodes worldwide. This creates a system that is transparent, auditable, and resistant to censorship or misuse.

Buterin explained that Ethereum acts as a credibly neutral network. Unlike a company driven by profit or individual agendas, Ethereum’s protocols serve a global community. Anyone can deploy applications, verify code, and participate in governance. The network protects freedom and creativity for all participants. A real-world example is decentralised finance. Platforms built on Ethereum, like Uniswap or Aave, allow users to trade, lend, or earn yield without relying on a central authority. This innovation has attracted over 200 billion dollars in total value locked across DeFi protocols, highlighting the power of decentralised trust.

Lessons for Beginners and Investors
Understanding the difference between centralised and decentralised systems is crucial for both beginners and seasoned investors. Recent trends show that regulators and users increasingly demand transparency and accountability. DeFi platforms on Ethereum provide an alternative to centralised exchanges, offering verifiable contracts and self-custody of assets. This approach reduces reliance on trust in a single entity and encourages more secure participation in the crypto ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Buterin’s message underscores the importance of choosing platforms that align with Ethereum’s principles of openness and verification. Investors should consider how decentralisation impacts security, innovation, and long-term sustainability. As the industry matures, adopting decentralised solutions can help protect both creativity and capital while fostering a more resilient digital economy.

Key Takeaways
Are the whales buying or selling?
While some whales were selling, many whales of a particular size were HODLing, the supply distribution chart showed.

Is there enough demand to reverse the downtrend?
As things stand, no, the selling is more aggressive and likely to take prices lower. The $2.7k support zone could see a brief price bounce toward $3k in the coming weeks.

Ethereum fell 10.64% last week, from $3,095 on the 17th of November, to $2,765 by the end of the 21st of November. Since then, a small bounce of 2.88% has occurred.

Source: ETH/USDT on TradingView

As the price chart above illustrates, this bounce came from an important long-term demand zone. This area (cyan box) stretched from $2.4k to $2.7k.

It was important, technically, as it represented a consolidation phase in May and June.

It was also significant on-chain support, as some long-term ETH holder cohorts’ realized prices lay within this area.

Ethereum’s [ETH] market participants must remember that the trend remained overwhelmingly bearish. A trend reversal from here is not expected — the sentiment is too strongly bearish.

There is not enough demand to force a quick reversal to and beyond the $3k mark.

Ethereum whale cohort continues HODLing
The MVRV ratios for short-term and long-term holders were both below zero. This showed that, on average, holders were at a loss. These losses were the highest since June, another indication of the bearish trend’s strength.

The supply distribution chart showed that the 10k-100k ETH holding wallets had been accumulating in September and October. At the start of November, the number of wallets in this whale cohort dropped slightly.

Meanwhile, the 1-1,000 Ethereum holding wallets saw their numbers decline steadily since June. Only the smallest ETH holders have steadily increased in number.

Together, the evidence pointed toward whales buying ETH in recent weeks. It appeared that most of the selling pressure came from the smaller holder cohorts.

This idea was supported by data. A recent AMBCrypto report noted that whale buying activity was on the rise.

While smart money appeared to bet on a recovery, traders should remain cautious. The downtrend has not yet ended.

Investors looking to buy at the bottom are making a risky play. They should have clear invalidations for their bullish ideas. An ETH price drop below $2.4k would be this confirmation.

mining is quietly staging a comeback in China four years after Beijing banned all cryptocurrency mining, with the country reclaiming a 14% share of global hashrate and ranking third worldwide as of late October.

The resurgence comes despite the 2021 ban remaining officially in effect, with miners exploiting cheap electricity and a data center boom in energy-rich provinces. China’s state planning agency and central bank have not issued any policy reversals since declaring all crypto transactions illegal in September 2021.

mining activity in China reached 145 exahashes per second as of late October, according to Hashrate Index, which tracks Bitcoin mining activities. The USA leads at 37.75% with 389.3 EH/s, supported by aggressive expansion from US mining firms, while Russia holds second place at 15.51% with 160 EH/s. Hashrate data relies on IP-based geolocation, which can be distorted by VPN usage in regions where mining is banned.

Underground Mining Resurgence
Xinjiang has emerged as the primary hub for the mining rebound due to abundant, cheap electricity that cannot be transmitted out of the province. Private miners told Reuters they started operations late last year, with new projects currently under construction in the region.

Hardware sales data independently corroborates the resurgence. Canaan Inc., the world’s second-largest Bitcoin mining machine maker, generated 30.3% of its 2024 global revenues from China compared to just 2.8% in 2022. China’s share of Canaan sales exceeded 50% in the second quarter of 2025, according to a source with direct knowledge of the figures. CryptoQuant estimates that 15% to 20% of global Bitcoin mining capacity currently operates in China.

The rebound in Bitcoin mining coincides with digital asset prices hitting record highs in October, when Bitcoin reached $126,000 for the first time. The cryptocurrency has since retreated to approximately $86,500, a decline of roughly 31% from its peak, as global risk appetite wanes.

Signs of Policy Shift
The mining rebound coincides with signs that Beijing has softened its stance toward digital assets. Hong Kong’s stablecoin bill took effect in August 2025, and Beijing is reviewing a roadmap for yuan-backed stablecoins to boost global adoption of its currency.

Patrick Gruhn, CEO of crypto market infrastructure provider Perpetuals.com, told Reuters that the resurgence of mining activity in China is one of the most important signals the market has seen in years.

The resurgence raises questions about Bitcoin’s decentralization as mining concentrates among three dominant nations controlling over 67% of global hashrate. Whether Beijing will formalize tolerance or crack down again remains uncertain, but the economic incentives driving Xinjiang’s underground operations show no signs of fading.

Bitcoin might finally stabilize at around the current price level, as multiple risk signals flash green.

The most recent read from @Swissblock's risk-off signal provides the first concrete proof that capitulation has reached its limit, suggesting that Bitcoin may finally be establishing a bottom. The risk-off index has collapsed from extreme highs and is currently plunging sharply following weeks of unrelenting selling that propelled Bitcoin straight through its major moving averages and into the mid-$80,000 region. In the past, this type of rollover has only occurred when forced selling runs out.

Finally over? The crucial point is that the market is no longer in the panic liquidation phase that propelled the first leg of the crash, and selling pressure has obviously decreased. This is supported by price action; RSI reached levels typical of local bottoms, and BTC recently printed its first significant rebound candle following a vertical decline. 

BTC/USDT Chart by TradingViewWhile none of this ensures a reversal, it does signal a shift from blind surrender to stabilization. Swissblock's framework is important in this case because it has surprisingly accurately mapped earlier bottom structures. Examine the chart for March and April. A second weaker selling wave emerges after the first selling spike depletes liquidity and the signal collapses. 

HOT Stories

Sellers are exhaustedWhen sellers are unable to break the market once more, the price maintains its previous lows, which serves as fuel for a trend reversal. True seller exhaustion occurs during the second wave. The same setup is now being approached. Although we have not yet seen the second wave, risk-off is rapidly declining.

This makes the upcoming week crucial. The pattern would nearly perfectly match previous bottom formations if BTC retests the lows with noticeably weaker momentum, such as lower volume, softer risk-off readings and no break below the $83,000-$85,000 range.

In that case, a recovery toward the 20-day and 50-day moving averages becomes the first target as the market begins to shift control back toward buyers. The bottom is not done, though, and BTC may return to the $78,000-$80,000 liquidity pocket if selling pressure increases and risk-off spikes once more.

TL;DR:

Russian analysts warn Bitcoin may not rebound until spring 2026 unless the Fed cuts interest rates.
High borrowing costs and weak risk appetite continue to weigh on BTC, with reduced trading activity and fading institutional inflows.
Experts say monetary policy will drive the next recovery phase, with market fragility and macro uncertainty limiting short-term upside.

Bitcoin’s recent downturn has intensified anxiety across the market as analysts warn that a meaningful recovery may be months away, tied closely to expectations around upcoming Federal Reserve decisions. Russian financial experts suggest that Bitcoin’s path forward appears constrained, arguing that a rebound is unlikely until at least spring 2026 unless the Fed moves decisively on rate cuts.

Experts Say Fed Policy Is Key to Bitcoin’s Next Market Phase
Russian analysts have raised concerns that the macroeconomic landscape remains unfavorable, highlighting persistent high interest rates that continue to suppress risk-asset appetite. They argue that as long as borrowing costs stay elevated, liquidity will remain tight, limiting the flow of capital into Bitcoin and other digital assets. With the Fed signaling caution, hopes for immediate relief have dimmed.

The report notes that Bitcoin’s recent decline below $90,000 has fueled growing doubts about the asset’s short-term momentum. Market observers point to reduced trading activity, weakening sentiment, and fading institutional inflows as contributing factors. Some experts warn that the crypto market’s current structure resembles late-cycle exhaustion, where buyers remain hesitant amid macroeconomic uncertainty.

A key argument from Russian economists is that Bitcoin’s next recovery phase hinges on the Fed making at least one rate cut, which could unlock liquidity and re-energize investor risk-taking. Until that shift occurs, they predict the cryptocurrency will struggle to regain upward momentum. Analysts caution that even if the Fed introduces reductions in early 2026, the effects may take months to filter into market behavior.

The analysis also highlights the growing divergence between speculative interest and fundamental adoption metrics. While on-chain activity shows pockets of resilience, the broader market remains fragile, with volatility spikes reflecting heightened sensitivity to macroeconomic news. Observers suggest that traders should prepare for a prolonged consolidation period unless catalyzing events emerge.

According to these projections, the earliest realistic window for a sustainable Bitcoin recovery appears to be spring 2026. Analysts emphasize that market resilience will depend heavily on monetary policy, alongside renewed institutional engagement once clearer macro signals surface. Until then, cautious sentiment may prevail as traders navigate ongoing uncertainty.

U.S. Bitcoin spot ETFs are suffering their worst month on record, with about 3.5 billion dollars pulled in November and IBIT alone seeing 2.2 billion dollars in redemptions. Yet lifetime net inflows still stand near 57.6 billion dollars as record trading volumes show investors rapidly rotating in and out of the once-hot products.

Bitcoin Spot ETFs Reach $57.6 Billion Net Inflow as Flows Swing SharplyU.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs now show a combined 57.6 billion dollars in net inflows, even as money continues to move in and out at a rapid pace, according to the latest Farside Investors flow table. BlackRock’s IBIT leads the pack with about 62.7 billion dollars of cumulative inflows, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC at roughly 11.8 billion dollars. By contrast, the converted GBTC vehicle still carries about 25.0 billion dollars in net outflows, which drags the complex’s overall total lower.

In the most recent stretch of data, daily flows whipsawed investors. On 18 November, the group took in about 523.2 million dollars, helped by steady buying in the largest funds. However, just two days later, on 20 November, the complex recorded its worst session in the table, with net outflows of roughly 903.2 million dollars as several issuers, led by IBIT and FBTC, saw heavy redemptions. Then, on 21 November, flows flipped back to a positive 238.4 million dollars, signaling that demand quickly returned after the sharp one-day exit.

Across the full sample, spot Bitcoin ETFs have averaged about 122.8 million dollars in net flows per day. The strongest single session brought in roughly 1.37 billion dollars, while the largest daily withdrawal reached about 1.11 billion dollars. These numbers show that, even after recent redemptions, the vehicles still channel sizable capital into Bitcoin, but they also underline how quickly sentiment can shift from strong buying to aggressive profit-taking.

Bitcoin ETFs Face Deep Monthly Outflows as Trading Volume Hits RecordsBitcoin spot ETFs are heading toward their worst monthly outflow on record as investors pull billions from the products, signaling a sharp reversal from the enthusiasm that fueled early-year gains. According to Bloomberg data, about 3.5 billion dollars has exited U.S. Bitcoin ETFs in November, nearly matching February’s previous record. BlackRock’s IBIT has seen about 2.2 billion dollars in redemptions, placing it on track for its weakest month since launch. The charts show cumulative ETF net flow sinking into negative territory while IBIT’s monthly bar drops below zero at a record pace.

At the same time, Bitcoin is navigating its harshest month in years. After sliding to 80,553 dollars on Friday, the token rebounded toward 87,000 dollars early Monday. Even so, it remains down roughly seven percent for the year, marking a sharp turn from the highs reached during the inflow-driven rally in early 2024. Bloomberg’s trading-volume chart shows ETF activity surging to a record 11.5 billion dollars on Friday, with IBIT handling about 8 billion dollars on its own. The spike highlights how aggressively investors are repositioning as sentiment shifts.

Meanwhile, analysts say the outflow cycle now moves in lockstep with Bitcoin’s price. Since the ETFs launched in January 2024, flows have become the primary driver of upward or downward pressure. Citi Research estimates that every one billion dollars in ETF outflows cuts Bitcoin’s price by about 3.4 percent, a pattern that aligns with November’s drawdown. At the same time, broader risk appetite has weakened across markets. High-growth tech stocks, AI names, and meme assets have all slipped, and Bitcoin’s short-term correlation with tech reached a record earlier this month. As Wall Street de-risks, Bitcoin increasingly trades as part of the same risk basket rather than a separate macro narrative.

Despite the turbulence, volume continues to rise. Yet the heavier trading has not produced a turn in sentiment, and analysts note that the same investor base that fueled the January–March rally is still exiting positions. Nick Ruck of LVRG Research said the earlier euphoria “has been exhausted,” adding that confidence has not fully returned even during brief periods of buying.

For now, the charts indicate a market driven more by caution than conviction, with ETF flows dictating direction as the year approaches its final weeks.

Shiba Inu trades at $0.000007929, showing a clear struggle after weeks of selling pressure. SHIB sits near the support level of its broad descending channel, a zone that triggered strong rebounds in past cycles. The real question now is whether the market is setting up for another sharp move. Does the recent shift in derivatives activity hint at something bigger?

Coinbase’s announcement of major upgrades in December has already influenced sentiment. SHIB now has extended visibility across futures markets. This change brings liquidity and offers traders new flexibility in how they manage exposure. Also, Futures activity often acts as an early signal for volatile altcoins. SHIB is no exception.

Open interest recently surged after billions in short positions were wiped out. That tells a story. Traders took aggressive bearish positions and paid the price when SHIB reversed. Such a reset can build the foundation for a strong upside attempt if momentum aligns.

Source: Coinglass

Coinbase Events Strengthen SHIB’s Global StandingCoinbase Derivatives will run 24/7 altcoin monthly futures from December 5, and SHIB sits among the supported assets. This update removes old trading-hour limits and opens the door for round-the-clock volatility. Some traders may find this thrilling while others may ask if nonstop derivatives exposure could increase future swings.

On December 12, Coinbase brings perpetual-style futures for U.S. traders. SHIB joins Avalanche and Bitcoin Cash among the supported assets. Perpetual futures often attract speculative flow since they mimic spot markets without expiry. That can create rapid price reactions during news events.

Also, Japan’s decision to classify SHIB with BTC and ETH under a flat tax structure strengthens its regulatory recognition. Gemini also added SHIB perpetual contracts for Europeans. These moves show growing international comfort with SHIB exposure. The memecoin narrative evolves when large institutions include it in product expansions.

SHIB Market Sentiment and StructureThe recent U-turn in price triggered an open interest flip back into positive territory. Liquidity entered the market and traders gained confidence in short-term setups. Strong buyers defended the weekly support zone. Will those reactions shape the next potential rally path?

Price action sits at a critical zone. A descending channel support that continues to attract demand. A bounce from here may target higher areas. The structure looks fragile yet loaded with potential. Can SHIB reclaim strength before the year ends?

Key bullish targets include:

$0.00000840

$0.00001030

$0.00001160

$0.00001480

$0.00001670

Failure to hold support could create temporary consolidation. A confirmed bottom near $0.0000071 may form a base for the next major wave. One same question in most minds is: is this accumulation or distribution?

Technical OutlookWeekly structure signals high volatility ahead. Support holds, but momentum remains fragile. Therefore, SHIB must regain its lost levels before a confident trend forms.

Key factors to watch:

Reaction at the descending channel floor

Behavior of open interest during volatility spikes

Strength of futures inflows after Coinbase launches

Ability to hold above $0.0000071 during market stress

Price respects structure well. Breakouts often begin when sentiment appears weak, and SHIB has done this before. Is the market preparing a repeat?

Liquidity from Coinbase and Gemini could elevate short-term momentum as traders look for a reclaim of the $0.00001030 level as a major signal of strength. If SHIB secures that area, the pathway toward higher targets becomes clear. The memecoin remains sensitive to hype cycles, so any strong catalyst could spark rapid climbs.

TLDRMSCI Review Creates New ProblemsCapital Markets Access at StakeGet 3 Free Stock Ebooks

Strategy bought 8,178 Bitcoins worth $835.6 million during the week ending November 17, expanding holdings to 649,870 tokens
Bitcoin fell to $83,669 on November 21, representing a 32% decline from its October high of $126,272
MSCI is reviewing rules that could exclude companies holding over 50% of assets in cryptocurrencies from its indices
Potential removal could trigger $2.8 billion to $8.8 billion in outflows from index-tracking funds
Strategy stock dropped 3% on Friday as investors weighed the dual pressures of falling crypto prices and index exclusion risks

Strategy added another chunk of Bitcoin to its massive holdings last week. The company purchased 8,178 tokens for $835.6 million in the seven days before November 17.

MicroStrategy Incorporated, MSTR

Chairman Michael Saylor disclosed the transactions in the company’s regular weekly filing. Strategy now controls 649,870 Bitcoins purchased for a combined $48.37 billion. Those holdings were worth $54.37 billion as of November 21.

The purchases came as Bitcoin prices tumbled hard. The cryptocurrency hit $83,669 on November 21, down 3.1% in just 24 hours. That represents a 32% plunge from the October peak of $126,272.

Bitcoin dropped below $86,010 on November 20. The selling reflects broader concerns about overheated artificial intelligence valuations driving investors away from risky assets.

The crypto surge past $100,000 in December 2024 feels like ancient history now. Those gains came on hopes for crypto-friendly regulations. On November 4, Bitcoin fell below $100,000 for the first time since May.

MSCI Review Creates New Problems
Strategy faces a different kind of pressure beyond Bitcoin’s price volatility. MSCI is consulting on new rules for its global investable market indexes.

The index provider wants to know if companies holding 50% or more of their assets in digital currencies should stay in its benchmarks. Strategy fits that description perfectly.

JPMorgan analysts crunched the numbers on potential fallout. They estimate Strategy could see between $2.8 billion and $8.8 billion flow out if MSCI follows through. The money would exit ETFs and mutual funds that track MSCI indices.

Strategy currently sits in the Nasdaq 100, MSCI USA, and MSCI World indexes. Getting kicked out wouldn’t force active managers to sell. But it would create negative momentum for the stock.

Capital Markets Access at Stake
The real worry is what index removal means for future fundraising. Strategy has funded its Bitcoin buying through regular equity and debt offerings.

Losing index status could make those capital raises harder and more expensive. The company relies on market access to keep buying Bitcoin.

Saylor isn’t backing down. He posted a single word on X: “Endure.” The chairman keeps pushing his “HODL” message, telling investors to hold their Bitcoin for the long haul.

Strategy made Bitcoin purchases every single day during the week before November 17. The buying pattern held even as prices crashed. The company last paused purchases between September 29 and October 5.

Strategy stock fell roughly 3% Friday morning as the MSCI news spread. The shares face pressure from two directions: falling Bitcoin prices and potential index removal.

The company’s weekly Bitcoin disclosures have become a key market signal. Investors watch to gauge Strategy’s confidence in crypto. So far, the buying hasn’t stopped.

Amerykański napływ środków działa niczym potężna fala, która wtłacza ogromną płynność na rynek krypto. Co więcej, korzystne jest to, że obecnie Bitcoin ma wyjątkowo niską cenę, wbrew zmartwieniom wielu inwestorów.

W wyniku 43-dniowego przestoju administracyjnego w USA zamrożone zostało główne konto rządowe w Rezerwie Federalnej. W tym czasie do budżetu wpływały środki, lecz wydatki były zablokowane. Teraz, po podpisie prezydenta Trumpa kończącym spór budżetowy, pieniądze wracają do obiegu zarówno do gospodarki, jak i na rynki finansowe. Powoduje to prawdziwą kapitałową falę, która korzysta z wyjątkowo atrakcyjnych cen na rynku kryptowalut.

Skąd napływa nowe finansowanie?
W kwestii nowego finansowania, należy spojrzeć na USA. Zakończenie historycznie długiego przestoju administracji uwolniło ogromne środki. Choć będą wypłacane stopniowo, ten napływ kapitału wywoła znaczące efekty w wielu obszarach.

Prognozy Bitcoina, mówiące o tym, że warto go teraz kupić, są zatem jak najbardziej uzasadnione. Przy mocno obniżonych cenach pojawiły się spekulacje o krachu kryptowalut. Mimo że BTC, ETH i inne popularne cyfrowe aktywa trzymają się dość stabilnie, są dziś na tyle tanie, że wielu inwestorów uzupełnia portfele. Wieloryby pokroju Michaela Saylora kupują z kolei kolejne ogromne ilości BTC, powiększając swoje rezerwy.

Świat wpompowuje nowe pieniądze w gospodarkę
Fala kapitału, to nie tylko sprawka Stanów Zjednoczonych, to kwestia działań globalnych. Sprowadzają się one do jednego, czyli potężnych ilości kapitału, trafiających na rynek. Oto przegląd najważniejszych źródeł:

Globalna podaż pieniądza przechodzi największą zmianę od lat. Banki centralne zaczynają znów luzować politykę pieniężną, co oznacza zwiększenie ilości pieniądza w obiegu. Spora część tych środków trafia zarówno na tradycyjne giełdy, jak i na giełdy kryptowalut inwestorzy szukają bowiem zysków i okazji spekulacyjnych.
Rezerwa Federalna USA sygnalizuje odejście od zacieśniania polityki i możliwą obniżkę stóp procentowych w grudniu. Gdy koszt pożyczania dla banków spada, więcej kapitału trafia na rynek.
Japonia ogłosiła pakiet wsparcia w wysokości 17 bilionów jenów (około 110 mld USD), aby pobudzić gospodarkę, zrekompensować rosnące koszty życia i wesprzeć inwestycje w nowe technologie, między innymi. sztuczną inteligencję i produkcję półprzewodników. Środki te ostatecznie również wylądują na rynkach finansowych.
Chiny już we wrześniu poinformowały o uruchomieniu programu krótkoterminowego o wartości ok. 140,7 mld USD, aby utrzymać szeroką podaż pieniądza i ustabilizować nastroje gospodarcze. W tym celu zastosowano różne instrumenty związane z obrotem obligacjami państwowymi.
Kanada zamierzała wrócić do rozmiarów bilansu sprzed pandemii, ale ogłosiła powrót do ilościowego luzowania, aby przeciwdziałać spowolnieniu gospodarczemu. Oczekuje się, że stopy procentowe pozostaną tam na obecnym poziomie.
JPMorgan, największy bank USA pod względem posiadanych aktywów, również zasila rynki kapitałem. Niedawno ogłosił 10-letni program inwestycyjny o wartości 1,5 biliona dolarów, obejmujący sektor produkcji, surowce strategiczne oraz rozwój sztucznej inteligencji.

Duże instytucje finansowe mogą też chcieć zyskać przychylność prezydenta Trumpa, który wzywa firmy do wspierania polityki „Ameryka na pierwszym miejscu”.

Zmiany kadrowe w Rezerwie Federalnej również mogą mieć na celu uzyskanie większego wpływu na przyszłe decyzje dotyczące stóp procentowych. Obecna polityka jest zdaniem prezydenta zbyt zachowawcza.

Od roku 2000 światowa podaż pieniądza wzrosła aż o 446%, czyli o 116 bilionów dolarów, osiągając obecnie rekordowe 142 biliony dolarów.

Co to oznacza dla rynku kryptowalut?
Wszystko wskazuje na to, że to właśnie cyfrowe aktywa mogą najbardziej skorzystać na nowych potężnych zastrzykach płynności. Gdy środki trafią do gospodarki, inwestorzy często kierują je w stronę bardziej ryzykownych aktywów, licząc na ponadprzeciętne zyski. Może to być gra z ogniem albo początek kolejnej, dynamicznej hossy.

Pozytywne zmiany nie dotyczą jedynie projektów o ugruntowanej pozycji. Rynek kryptowalut bardzo mocno się rozwija, a na mapie pojawiają się bardzo ciekawe przedsięwzięcia, które mogą zrewolucjonizować rynek krypto.

Na dodatkowy dopływ gotówki, liczą także obiecujące projekty, które są aktualnie w fazie przedsprzedaży. Jednym z potencjalnych beneficjentów sytuacji może być Best Wallet Token.

Projekt zebrał już ponad 17 milionów w przedsprzedaży i patrząc po ostatnich zakupach i potencjalnych środkach, które trafią na rynek, może dobić do bariery 20 milionów. Jego przedsprzedaż zakończy się za kilka dni, jest to więc ostatnia chwila, by zakupić token napędzający portfel kryptowalutowy po atrakcyjnej cenie. Czy masz już Best Wallet Token w swoim portfelu?

The “strategic national digital assets stockpile” established by the Trump administration is likely facing unrealized losses, a new report shows.

Government Crypto Reserve Faces Steep UncertaintyPresident Trump created two federal crypto holdings earlier this year, including the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and the wider Digital Asset Stockpile.

The government has still not released a full accounting of these assets despite the disclosure mandate in the directive, Protos reported.

Most tokens entering these reserves come through criminal seizures, civil forfeitures, and major bankruptcy liquidations.

The absence of transparency has left the public relying entirely on third-party blockchain trackers.

Arkham currently estimates that the U.S. holds roughly $27 billion in cryptocurrency across its wallets, but the size of the Bitcoin reserve remains disputed among major data providers.

CoinGecko, Arkham, and BitcoinTreasuries report between 325,000 and 326,000 Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC).

However, BitBo presents a far lower estimate, placing the government's Bitcoin balance at 198,012 BTC.

Altcoins Are the Problem — Not BitcoinIf analysts assume the basket includes Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), XRP (CRYPTO: XRP), Solana (CRYPTO: SOL), and Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) — referenced in Trump's early messaging — their returns since April 5 stand at:

ETH: +49%

SOL: +1.7%

XRP: –11%

ADA: –39%
The median return here is –4.5%.

Using a broader Arkham list of assets believed to be under U.S. custody — Ethereum, BNB (CRYPTO: BNB), Uniswap (CRYPTO: UNI), Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK), Aave (CRYPTO: AAVE), The Sandbox (CRYPTO: SAND), Render (CRYPTO: RNDR), Shiba Inu (CRYPTO: SHIB), and Band Protocol (CRYPTO: BAND) — the return profile turns even more negative. 

When excluding stablecoins and Bitcoin, the median return drops to –10 percent, weighed down heavily by metaverse and AI-focused tokens such as SAND and RNDR.

Transparency Gap Raises Bigger QuestionsDespite the attention surrounding the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, only Bitcoin ended up entering the federal reserve program.

Altcoins live in the separate Digital Asset Stockpile — a structure with no public disclosures, no official registry, and no reporting portal for taxpayers.

This lack of clarity has fueled speculation about the government's real exposure.

If the stockpile contains sizeable holdings like the assets flagged in Marc Cohodes' post, the U.S. may be carrying significant unrealized losses.

What to Know:

1️⃣ Bitcoin’s rebound from extreme oversold RSI levels came with $206M in liquidations, signaling seller exhaustion rather than a confirmed trend reversal.
2️⃣ $XRP and especially $ZEC are leading the market bounce, with $ZEC up over 900% year-to-date as privacy-focused tokens outperform broader altcoin sectors.
3️⃣ Best Wallet Token underpins a non-custodial wallet, DEX aggregator, launchpad, and upcoming card product, positioning $BEST as a core Web3 access token.
4️⃣ The $BEST presale pairs high staking yields with strong community allocations and a multi-year roadmap, though long-term returns depend on execution and overall market conditions.

Bitcoin just pulled a U-turn from ‘extreme oversold’ territory, and the bounce is already breathing new life into majors and high-beta altcoins.

After weeks of heavy selling, the market finally got the classic capitulation combo: a deeply oversold RSI reading on Bitcoin plus more than $206M in weekend liquidations as thin liquidity flushed out late shorts and over-leveraged longs.

The reaction was sharp. Bitcoin snapped back toward the high-$80K region, total crypto market cap climbed close to $3T, and some of the biggest percentage movers weren’t blue chips but altcoins.

$XRP jumped around 7%–8% on the day, while Zcash ($ZEC) surged roughly 14% and is now up more than 900% year to date, extending one of the strongest rallies anywhere in crypto. Privacy coins as a group have been quietly outpacing most sectors for weeks.

Under the hood, this still looks like a fragile market. Spot Bitcoin ETFs just posted record trading volumes with $238M inflows on Friday, after a single day of over $900M in outflows. On-chain data shows persistent ETF outflows plus shrinking stablecoin supply, classic signs of capital flight rather than fresh risk-on appetite.

The Crypto Fear & Greed Index is stuck in ‘extreme fear’ even after the bounce, so this move may be a relief rally, not a brand-new cycle leg. But that’s exactly the kind of window where capital often rotates into infrastructure, wallet tokens, and presale plays that can benefit if altcoin season stretches out.

💰 That’s where Best Wallet Token ($BEST) slots in, pairing a rapidly growing non-custodial wallet with a presale that has already raised more than $17.4M at a current token price of $0.025995 and staking yields of 75% APY.

In other words, while traders debate whether Bitcoin’s bounce sticks, the question quietly emerging is which alt coin could be the best crypto to buy now if this rotation continues.

Best Wallet Token Builds a Full-Stack Web3 Wallet Hub
The Best Wallet app isn’t pitching yet another basic storage app. Its whitepaper lays out an attempt to capture roughly 40% of the crypto wallet market by turning the wallet into a full Web3 terminal rather than a simple key manager. It’s using its native Best Wallet Token ($BEST) to do just that.

The stack is built around three components that all route value back to $BEST holders: the Best Wallet app, an integrated crypto presales hub, and a forthcoming Best Card that lets users spend $BTC, $ETH, and other majors anywhere cards are accepted, with cashback paid into the ecosystem.

Inside the app, users get multi-chain support, cross-chain swaps powered by an aggregator that taps hundreds of DEXs and dozens of bridges, and mobile-first UX instead of clunky desktop-driven flows.

🔐 On the security side, Best Wallet leans on Fireblocks’ MPC-CMP tech to handle key management and transaction signing, plus advanced anti-fraud tools, smart-contract checks, and decentralized account recovery.

All of this is tied together by $BEST, the utility token that unlocks reduced fees, higher staking yields via a staking aggregator, governance rights on new chains and features, plus boosted rewards in Best Wallet’s iGaming partnerships and loyalty programs.

As $ZEC and other infrastructure-style plays lead this latest bounce, a wallet token with this kind of embedded utility sits neatly in the same ‘serious infra with upside’ bucket.

➡️ Take a look at our Best Wallet Token review for more details.

$BEST Presale, Staking Yields and ROI Upside in an Altcoin Rotation
The $BEST presale is in its final stretch, with over $17.4M already committed and the current stage pricing tokens at $0.025995. Early buyers can stake immediately, with current APY at 75% as part of an 8% supply allocation reserved for staking rewards.

A further 10% is set aside for airdrops and 7% for other community incentives, structurally encouraging long-term engagement rather than fast unlocks and dump pressure.

That staking design matters in a market where liquidity has just been violently repriced.

If Bitcoin’s rebound does evolve into a broader altcoin rally, projects that already have large portions of their float committed often see more orderly price discovery on listing. That’s because circulating supply is tighter and holders are already earning yield in-ecosystem instead of chasing short-term exits.

💰 On the pure upside side, our $BEST price prediction analysis suggests a potential 2026 high of up to $0.62 if the roadmap is executed and the wallet narrative stays hot.

Taking today’s presale price near $0.025995 as a reference, that delivers over 2000% gains to the 2026 high case. None of that is guaranteed, of course, but it does show how aggressively the market is pricing the wallet super-app narrative if execution lands. To join now, learn how to buy $BEST.

The app is live, user numbers are growing, and the roadmap from here is about extending functionality. In a market that has just rediscovered downside volatility, there is a clear shift toward products that help manage risk, consolidate tooling, and still surface early-stage opportunities.

⏳ $BEST is the access key to that stack. But with less than four days before the presale ends, time is running out to buy $BEST at an early-bird price.

🚀Join the $BEST presale while you still can.
