Washington Water Service Proposes Rate Adjustment for Investments Made in Local Systems to Help Maintain Safe and Reliable Service stocknewsapi
CWT
GIG HARBOR, Wash., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- California Water Service Group (NYSE: CWT) subsidiary Washington Water Service (Washington Water) has filed a request with the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission (UTC) to increase water rates to recover $14.9 million in costs it has incurred to fund the improvement and maintenance of its local water systems as well as increased expenses over the last two years.

Some of the major investments made in Washington Water’s service areas include:

Installing 1,000 feet of water main in the Minterbrook system; 700 feet of main in Sunshine Acres; 2,500 feet of main in the Ranch Acres Shores system; 2,000 feet of main in Cedar Grove; 1,000 feet of main in Evergreen Shores; and 7,000 feet of main in the Southwood system to improve reliability and fire protection, and reduce potential leaks.Installing treatment facilities to remove lead and copper in the Heritage Row system, arsenic in the Quistorff system, and iron and manganese in the Southwood system.Conducting booster pump station upgrades in the Rosario, Cedar Crest, Artondale, Southwood, Olympic Mall, and Driftwood Valley systems.Deploying Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition remote system monitoring in the Sunshine Acres, Rosario, Mirrormont, Palmer Lake, and Southwood systems.Installing a new booster pumping facility to increase reliability and capacity in the Lost Creek zone of the Southwood system. Additionally, the proposed water rate increase accounts for costs incurred due to higher operating expenses, such as cost increases in materials and equipment; depreciation expense due to the addition of newly installed facilities; and increased labor costs. It also accounts for costs incurred for testing for the presence of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in accordance with new federal regulations, and other efforts related to PFAS regulatory compliance.

“We take our responsibility to provide our Washington Water customers safe, clean, reliable water at affordable rates seriously, and the upgrades we have made over the past two years are critical to continuing to deliver on this commitment,” said Marty Kropelnicki, Chairman and CEO. “At the same time, we work diligently to control expenses and keep water service affordable in the face of increasingly stringent federal and state water quality standards and rising costs.”

If approved as filed, new rates could become effective as early as Nov. 15, 2025.

Diversified Energy Announces Proposed Move of Primary Listing to the New York Stock Exchange stocknewsapi

Diversified Energy PLC

Diversified Will Retain UK Listing on the International Secondary Listing Category

Move Expected to Enhance Trading Liquidity, Increase Visibility with Investors, and Provide Strategic Capital Markets Benefits to Accelerate Growth

BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Diversified Energy Company PLC (the “Company”) (LSE:DEC, NYSE:DEC) announced today that its Board of Directors, having evaluated the Company’s optimal public company listing venue, intends to move the Company’s primary listing to the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) while retaining a secondary listing on the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”).

Today, the Company is substantially a US business, reporting in US dollars, with all the Company’s operating profit derived from its US operations, which is also the sole growth market for the business. The Company’s executive management team and operational headquarters are based in the US, all of its employees reside in the US and all its assets are located in the US.

Additionally, as of June 30, 2025, over 65% of the Company’s outstanding shares were held by US resident investors. The Company will start filing customary SEC financial statements and periodic reports as a US domestic filer with its year-end 2025 financial results.

The Board has been evaluating the optimal primary listing venue for the Company in the context of its business strategy for the benefit of all its stakeholders. In December 2023, the Company undertook an additional listing of its shares on the NYSE to complement its existing LSE listing. At this time, the Board has concluded that the US market is the natural long-term primary listing venue for the Company and that moving to a US primary listing, while retaining a secondary UK listing on the ESICC Category, is in the best interests of its shareholders.

In arriving at this conclusion, the Board considered several factors and potential benefits, including:

alignment of the primary listing venue with the Company’s business activity, leadership team, and employee baseincreased overall liquidity in the Company’s shares, given access to deeper US capital marketsincreased exposure to US investors through a primary US listing, including additional access to passive investment pools of capitalexpanded Company profile and access to high-quality equity investorssimplified share ownership for the wider employee base of the Company and expanded access to the recruitment and retention of top US talentoptimized positioning of the Company for inclusion in premier US equity indices and Exchange Traded Fundsretention of a secondary listing on the LSE to facilitate trading liquidity for non-US shareholder base The proposed venue change will be implemented by way of a UK scheme of arrangement which will require a formal vote by shareholders of the Company at a general meeting (“General Meeting”) to be approved by a majority in number of the registered shareholders voting in person or by proxy, representing 75% in value of the shares voted. It is currently expected that a shareholder circular containing details of the proposals will be published and that the General Meeting will take place in the coming weeks. Subject to shareholders voting in favor of the proposals at the General Meeting, the Board expects that the scheme of arrangement will take effect during the fourth quarter of 2025, after which the shares are expected to trade on the NYSE and on the equity shares (commercial companies) category of the Official List of the FCA (the “ESICC Category”) and the Main Market of the LSE.

Further announcements will be made in due course as the process advances.

Novartis receives FDA approval for Rhapsido® (remibrutinib), the only oral, targeted BTKi treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) stocknewsapi
NVS
Ad hoc announcement pursuant to Art. 53 LR

Rhapsido helps to inhibit release of histamine and proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering unique approach to CSU treatment1Well-controlled disease observed as fast as two weeks, with demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring1   1.7 million people in US live with CSU; more than half remain symptomatic despite increasing doses of antihistamines2,3Remibrutinib also in clinical development for chronic inducible urticaria, food allergy, and hidradenitis suppurativa, expanding Novartis Immunology portfolio
Basel, September 30, 2025 – Novartis announced today that Rhapsido® (remibrutinib) received US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval as an oral treatment for adult patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) who remain symptomatic despite H1 antihistamine treatment. Rhapsido is a pill taken twice daily and does not require injections or lab monitoring. It is the first FDA-approved Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) for CSU. Rhapsido helps to inhibit the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators by targeting BTK, offering a unique approach to CSU treatment.1  

“CSU is a serious disease that can cause debilitating symptoms and unpredictable flares. It’s difficult to diagnose and manage,” said Mark Lebwohl, MD, Dean for Clinical Therapeutics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and member of the steering committee for the remibrutinib REMIX Phase III clinical trial program. “Remibrutinib represents a new way of treating CSU. By blocking the activity of BTK, remibrutinib stops a key pathway of the immune response in CSU. This is an exciting new option that has the potential to help a broad range of patients get fast relief.”

CSU is a mast cell-driven condition thought to be caused by immune dysregulation. In people with CSU, the immune system can become activated through allergic (IgE) or autoimmune (IgG) pathways.4 This causes certain immune cells—mast cells and basophils—to activate the BTK protein. While not fully understood, it is believed that once activated, BTK leads to the release of histamine and other proinflammatory mediators that may cause the red, swollen, and itchy hives commonly seen in CSU.5,6

CSU symptoms are unpredictable, recurring for six weeks or more without an identified cause.7 Diagnosis can take up to 24 months.8 Many CSU patients say their symptoms negatively impact their sleep, work, and mental health.9,10,11 Antihistamines are the first-line treatment, but over half of patients still have symptoms, even at higher doses.2 Injectable treatments exist for those who don't respond to antihistamines, yet fewer than 20% of eligible patients receive them.12

“The approval of remibrutinib is an important development in CSU care. It quickly reduces symptoms, offering patients control of the hives and itching that they experience on a daily basis,” said Giselle Mosnaim, MD, MS, an Allergist and Immunologist from Endeavor Health, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine and REMIX trial investigator. “This is significant because it expands beyond existing injectable treatments and gives patients an oral option that can easily be incorporated into their daily lives.”

“Many CSU patients feel misunderstood and settle for treatments that don’t fully meet their needs,” said Lynda Mitchell, CEO of Allergy & Asthma Network. “We support new treatment options that empower patients to choose what works best for them. This convenient new oral therapy offers a promising new way to manage CSU and potentially improve daily life for those living with this challenging condition.”

Clinical data supporting approval
The FDA approval of Rhapsido in CSU is based on results from the Phase III REMIX-1 (NCT05030311) and REMIX-2 (NCT05032157) clinical trials in patients who remained symptomatic on second-generation H1 antihistamines. Rhapsido demonstrated superiority in change from baseline versus placebo in itch (ISS7), hives (HSS7), and weekly urticaria activity (UAS7) at Week 12.13 Significantly more patients treated with Rhapsido versus placebo achieved well-controlled disease (UAS7≤6) as early as Week 2 and at Week 12, and about one-third of patients achieved complete absence of itch and hives at Week 12.13 Rhapsido has a demonstrated safety profile that requires no lab monitoring.13 The most common adverse events (incidence ≥3%) were nasal congestion, sore throat, and runny nose (nasopharyngitis), bleeding, headache, nausea, and abdominal pain.13

Novartis has completed regulatory submissions for Rhapsido for the treatment of CSU across many countries, including in the European Union, Japan, and China, with priority review granted in China. 

Transforming care in Immunology
“This approval of Rhapsido as the first and only BTK inhibitor in CSU is an important milestone in our journey to reshape care for overlooked immune-related conditions and offer more patients the potential to find fast relief,” said Victor Bultó, President, US, Novartis. “Building on our legacy in advancing the treatment of allergic, dermatologic, and rheumatologic conditions, we are deeply committed to further investing in innovative, patient-focused therapies across immunology.”

Discovered and developed by Novartis to target the BTK pathway as a driver of inflammation, remibrutinib is being investigated in ongoing clinical trials across a variety of immune-related conditions, including chronic inducible urticaria (CIndU), hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), and food allergy.

Chainlink announces a partnership with Swift-USB, enabling tokenized fund control via ISO 20022 messages cryptonews
LINK
Chainlink announced today at SIBOS 2025 a technological solution that will give financial institutions worldwide control over digital asset operations using SWIFT messaging. Swift messages, CRE, and banks will access blockchains through the same Swift infrastructure they have relied upon for decades.

According to Chainlink, financial institutions will be able to handle tokenized fund subscription and redemption processes using Swift via ISO 20022 messages from their existing systems. The innovation powered by the Chainlink Runtime Environment (CRE)  will eliminate a technical barrier to the widespread adoption of digital assets in the international capital market.

Chainlink uses Swift to power tokenized fund transactions

MAJOR NEWS:

Chainlink announced today a landmark technical solution enabling financial institutions worldwide to manage digital asset workflows directly from their existing systems using Swift messaging and CRE, in collaboration with UBS ↓ pic.twitter.com/X6BcUKEjTi

— Chainlink Everything (@SmartContract) September 30, 2025

Chainlink stated that it has developed a technical process enabling banks to interact with tokenized investment funds through SWIFT.  The blockchain data provider noted that the first use case involved a technical and operational pilot with UBS Tokenize, building on prior work with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink co-founder, stated that the solution utilizes CRE, in conjunction with the Swift financial messaging network, to trigger subscription and redemption workflows for tokenized funds. He added that institutions will not replace their legacy systems or build new identity and key management layers. Nazarov stressed that CRE receives ISO 20022-compliant SWIFT messages, which in turn activate smart contract events in the Oracle protocol Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) technical standard.

“I’m very excited about this landmark innovation we’ve achieved by leveraging Swift’s standards and UBS’ tokenized asset design.”

–Sergey Nazarov– Chainlink co-founder.

Nazarov emphasized that UBS demonstrates how smart contract-based technologies enable financial institutions to explore enhanced composability of product lifecycles.

Chainlink stated that the ability to interact with complex on-chain workflows through Swift messaging is a groundbreaking development, reducing operational friction and delivering efficiency gains through programmable infrastructure.  The Decentralized Oracle Network has revealed that it is positioning the integration as a “plug-and-play” unlock for the $100 trillion-plus global financial industry.

According to the blockchain middleware provider,  Swift’s financial messaging services link more than 11,000 institutions in more than 200 countries and serve as the backbone of the infrastructure that facilitates trillions of dollars’ worth of cross-border payments. 

Chainlink expands Blockchain pilots with Swift and global banks
Chainlink announced on Monday at SIBOS that it had completed the second phase of a blockchain and AI-driven pilot for processing corporate actions.  The Blockchain middleware provider added that the initiative coordinated multiple large language models, including OpenAI’s GPT, Google’s Gemini, and Anthropic’s Claude, to generate structured, ISO 20022-compliant records transmitted through Swift’s network. Major players, including DTCC, Euroclear, and banks such as UBS, DBS, and BNP Paribas, backed the effort.

At SIBOS 2016, Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazaro described an automated, innovative contract-based solution for the post-trade securities lifecycle, specifically ISO 20022-compliant bond instruments.  

The announcement also revealed that, as part of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS, UBS Asset Management, and the decentralized oracle network successfully demonstrated how the combination of fintech infrastructure enabled automated fund management operations and transfer agency processes. 

Visa highlighted in a report released in June 2025 that ANZ Bank and Chainlink are participants in phase 2 of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority’s e-HKD pilot program. The report emphasized that participants employed a Payment-vs-Payment (PvP) settlement workflow utilizing an Australian Stablecoin (A$DC) on ANZ’s DAS Chain on Ethereum Sepolia. The PVP used the Web3 infrastructure provider for cross-chain connectivity and compliance verification. 

According to the Visa report, the next phase will demonstrate a Delivery vs. Payment (DvP) workflow involving an Australian investor purchasing a tokenized asset in Hong Kong. The phase will leverage cross-chain connectivity, Nav pricing, and the Oracle protocol’s Digital Transfer Agent technical standards. 

Jonathan Ehrenfeld Solé, Head of Strategy at Swift, stated that the solution leveraged Oracle infrastructure to feed external interest rate data into a smart contract. 

“That was maybe the first steps of this sort of love story between Swift and Chainlink, which continues today.”

At Sibos 2024, Sergey Nazarov introduced a pre-production solution that enabled banks to connect to blockchains using the Swift messaging standards and infrastructure already used in traditional financial systems.

Dogecoin Is Falling Today. Should You Buy the Dip? cryptonews
DOGE
The meme coin is falling along with most of the crypto market.

Dogecoin (DOGE -1.04%) fell on Tuesday, down 4.2% as of 1:12 p.m. ET, as measured from 4 p.m. on Monday. The move comes as the S&P 500 (^GSPC 0.09%) and the Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC -0.01%) lost 0.2% and 0.3%, respectively.

The meme coin is falling with much of the market as investors anticipate a government shutdown. More speculative assets like Dogecoin tend to see outsized drops when the market is uneasy.

Crypto investors brace for a shutdown
While a U.S. government shutdown could be avoided, the clock is ticking. Legislators need to pass a funding bill by the end of the day, but both sides of the aisle are playing hardball and refusing to budge. The market seems to be anticipating a shutdown.

Image source: Getty Images.

It wouldn't be the first time -- there have been 14 shutdowns since 1980 -- but a shutdown introduces uncertainty, which often leads to a dip in the market. Investors like stability.

Dogecoin is a very risky asset
Dogecoin's drop today outpaced most of the crypto market because it's a meme coin with no real value. It is highly speculative and built on hype. It really shouldn't be viewed as a serious investment; it is more of a bet.

While today's dip could look like an opportunity to buy, I wouldn't. Dogecoin can fall a lot further. A more serious market event could cause Dogecoin to plummet.

Investors should instead look to cryptos with a proven track record of value and projects with innovative technology. Bitcoin and Ethereum are much smarter plays.

Circle weighs transaction reversibility to counter fraud in USDC network cryptonews
USDC
Circle Internet Group is exploring mechanisms to allow transactions in its USDC stablecoin to be reversed in cases of fraud or disputes, according to a Financial Times report.

In an interview reported by FT, Circle President Heath Tarbert said the company is “thinking through … whether or not there’s the possibility of reversibility of transactions.” He added that enabling refunds in fraud cases, similar to traditional finance, could help bring stablecoins into broader mainstream use.

Tarbert also acknowledged a tension between refundability and irreversible settlement. He said that while the company seeks a system with final settlement, the concept of reversibility introduces a conflict with the ideally immediate and irrevocable nature of blockchain transfers.

Circle is the issuer of USDC, the second‑largest stablecoin by market capitalization, following Tether’s USDT. In 2025, Circle went public through an initial public offering, marking one of the sector’s highest‑profile moves into the public markets.

As of now, Circle has not publicly confirmed detailed designs or timelines for any reversibility mechanism

Dogecoin Holds Above $0.22 as Analysts Eye ‘God Candle' Breakout Toward $1 cryptonews
DOGE
Dogecoin continues to attract attention as both technical and fundamental factors align, hinting at possible bullish momentum. Despite a mild decline to $0.229 as of press time, analysts highlight that the coin is trading above crucial support zones. 

This price action comes as speculation grows around a potential Dogecoin ETF approval in 2025, further fueling optimism. With the market cap holding steady near $34.6 billion, Dogecoin remains a central focus for traders eyeing its next big move.

Historical Patterns Reinforce Bullish ExpectationsAccording to thescalpingpro, Dogecoin has repeatedly demonstrated strong upside moves whenever it flips above the bull market support bands (BMSB). Historical flips in 2021, 2024, and mid-2025 all resulted in explosive rallies, often triggering what traders call “God candles.” 

At present, DOGE is consolidating above the BMSB, with support around $0.22–$0.21. This setup raises the prospect of another significant rally if momentum builds. Resistance at $0.30 and $0.45 remains the first hurdle, while a breakout could extend toward the $0.70–$0.90 range.

Short-Term Triangle Formation Strengthens the Bull CaseOn the lower time frame, Trader Tardigrade observes Dogecoin forming an ascending triangle pattern on the 2-hour chart. The resistance zone near $0.237–$0.238 has capped upward attempts, but higher lows are pressuring price against this ceiling. 

With support now around $0.233, the structure leans bullish. A close above $0.238 could pave the way for targets at $0.244–$0.245, while losing $0.233 risks a pullback to $0.230. Momentum indicators favor buyers if volume confirms the breakout.

Weekly Chart Structure Points Toward Bigger GainsBesides short-term signals, Dogecoin’s weekly chart paints a broader bullish picture. Trader Tardigrade highlights that DOGE has consistently respected its ascending trendline, sparking rallies with each retest. 

Source: X

Current support between $0.22–$0.25 has proven resilient, and as long as it holds, upside targets include $0.35, $0.50, and even $1.00–$1.25 in coming months. However, a decisive breakdown below $0.22 would weaken this bullish structure significantly.

ETF Developments Add Fuel to the SpeculationSource: Polymarket

Meanwhile, the probability of a Dogecoin ETF approval surged on prediction platform Polymarket, now reflecting over 99% odds. Total volume on this market has exceeded $213,000, showing rising investor interest. 

Additionally, the 21Shares Dogecoin ETF has already appeared on the DTCC system, marking progress in the regulatory pipeline. With the SEC reviewing spot ETF applications from Grayscale and Bitwise, decisions expected by mid-October could influence sentiment further.

Chainlink Price Holds $20 Support Amid Tokenization With DTA Standard Progress – Is $47 Next? cryptonews
LINK
Chainlink price has attracted fresh attention after recent analyst insights highlighted key technical patterns. The expert emphasized how LINK price is aligning with broader market structure, suggesting a possible continuation of its upward trajectory. Meanwhile, institutional activity around tokenization is also placing the spotlight back on Chainlink’s role in shaping future financial infrastructure. 

Chainlink Price Holds Key Support As Analyst Targets $47
Specifically, an analyst, Ali, highlights how the Chainlink price has been moving within a defined ascending channel, repeatedly bouncing from the lower boundary and retesting upper resistance. 

His perspective emphasizes that if LINK price maintains the $20 level, the path toward higher zones could remain intact, creating room for a sharp continuation. The expert believes this cycle mirrors earlier expansions, where defended supports opened the door for rapid rallies. 

Notably, Ali points out that the technical script rarely changes, even though market reactions appear dramatic. The current Chainlink market price trades at $21.28, and such positioning keeps the token well within the channel’s bullish structure. Meanwhile, Ali stresses that sustained support could form the foundation for larger moves, with $47 emerging as the next key upside target.

LINK/USDT 3-Day Chart (Source: X)
On the 4-hour chart, LINK displays an inverse head-and-shoulders formation, widely recognized as a reversal trigger in technical analysis. The neckline breakout sits near $22, and clearing it could quickly propel LINK toward $24.69 and $25.64. 

Specifically, this shorter timeframe structure reinforces the daily channel outlook, suggesting alignment between intraday and broader patterns. The current consolidation near $21 reflects that buyers are absorbing sell pressure and defending key support areas. 

Moreover, whales recently scooped up 800K LINK from the demand zone, showing confidence in the asset’s recovery potential. With this backdrop, the expert’s $47 projection gains added relevance, while the broader technical picture continues to validate a sustained long-term Chainlink price prediction that extends well beyond immediate upside targets.

LINK/USDT 4-Hour Chart (Source: TradingView)
Tokenization With DTA Standard: UBS Adoption Strengthens Chainlink’s Case
Beyond technicals, Chainlink’s institutional integrations are adding crucial weight. UBS Asset Management, through its in-house tokenization unit UBS Tokenize, is adopting the Chainlink Digital Transfer Agent (DTA) standard. 

This framework streamlines fund workflows, including subscriptions, redemptions, and settlement processes. The inclusion of support for fiat and digital assets makes it highly versatile. Additionally, automated compliance features align operations with regulatory frameworks, ensuring security and efficiency.

Meanwhile, the DTA standard also leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), allowing secure multi-chain transfers. NAVLink feeds enhance valuation accuracy, ensuring transparent pricing for tokenized assets. 

Together, these features reduce friction in fund lifecycle management, making Chainlink indispensable for institutional adoption. Notably, the DTA standard positions LINK at the center of the $100 trillion fund industry’s gradual shift to tokenization.

Furthermore, Chainlink’s ecosystem strength is amplified by fresh integrations, with Polymarket partnering with Chainlink to boost its market resolution process, signaling broader real-world adoption of its infrastructure.

To conclude, Chainlink price continues to show resilience as both charts and fundamentals reinforce the bullish outlook. LINK price remains supported by structural patterns and institutional integrations. With tokenization progress and technical setups converging, the narrative remains decisive. Chainlink is now firmly positioned for a stronger climb.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The analyst noted that past bullish cycles often began with accumulation phases before breakout rallies.

A Head and Shoulders formation on the 4-hour chart is guiding near-term expectations.

The DTA Standard supports tokenization growth, reinforcing Chainlink’s adoption in real-world asset markets.

What Gold's Historic Rally Means For Bitcoin's Next Move cryptonews
BTC
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) may soon make a significant move, following a historic gold rally that has seen the commodity surge above $3,800.

What Happened: Prominent analyst Kevin noted in his exclusive Patreon group that Bitcoin has reclaimed its higher-low, lower-high structure after bouncing from the weekly bull market support band, reinforcing the chance of a reversal.

Historically, BTC often delivers a "first move is the wrong move" fake-out before reversing, making the next few days pivotal.

Gold And Bitcoin

Kevin noted that Bitcoin's biggest rallies have often followed gold's macro tops—seen in 2013, 2017, and 2020/21.

With Gold now in its strongest bull run since the 1970s and its monthly RSI at an extreme 91 (last seen in 1979), BTC's ongoing sideways consolidation amid record-low volatility could precede a dramatic surge.

If history rhymes, BTC's sideways consolidation amid historically low volatility could soon resolve with a dramatic move as Gold approaches exhaustion.

Breakout?

Bitcoin's monthly Bollinger Bands and volatility indicators also point to an imminent expansion phase. With compression at historic lows, the market is signalling that a significant breakout is only weeks away.

Why It Matters: Bitcoin's 4-hour chart shows it above key moving averages and the $112,700 Fibonacci level, with a possible inverse head-and-shoulders pattern forming.

Flat daily money flow and declining whale inflows mean stronger capital is needed to fuel a sustained breakout.

Liquidity dynamics show heavy clusters of short liquidations up to $119,000 and long liquidations down to $106,800, coinciding with BTC's prolonged range between $98,000 and $125,000.

Adding complexity, a CME gap at $110,700 could also attract price movement.

The convergence of gold's potential topping signal, Bitcoin's technical patterns, and suppressed volatility makes the coming weeks critical for the crypto market's next major move.

Republic to Tokenize Animoca Brands Equity on Solana to Broaden Investor Access cryptonews
SOL
Republic to Tokenize Animoca Brands Equity on Solana to Broaden Investor AccessTokenizing Animoca's private equity will expand global access while adhering to existing securities rules, Republic said. Sep 30, 2025, 6:32 p.m.

Investment platform Republic revealed plans on Wednesday to tokenize shares of crypto venture firm Animoca Brands on the SOL$206.89 blockchain, a move aimed at opening investor access through blockchain rails.

Animoca Brands, known for backing over 600 blockchain startups and projects, remains privately held with shares only traded in limited over-the-counter deals. Republic said its plan will create digital tokens that represent ownership in the company, which can be held in crypto wallets and traded on Republic’s own marketplace.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW

"This tokenization aligns strongly with Animoca Brands’ position as a Web3 leader, providing novel options for investors to tokenize and trade their holdings as well as broaden investment accessibility for a wider market," said Yat Siu, executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands.

The move could allow a wider, global set of investors to gain exposure to a private tech company without waiting for a traditional public listing. Tokenization, a red-hot trend to create blockchain-based tokens of traditional financial assets such as equity, is often touted as a tool for broadening investor access to assets previously limited to only a select few, proponents say. However, some private equity token offerings such as Robinhood's drew concerns such as limited shareholder rights and fragmented regulations.

Republic said Animoca's equity token will comply with existing regulatory requirements. Details on token pricing and launch timelines are expected later, the blog post said.

"This is a glimpse of the future, where retail investors worldwide can participate in opportunities once reserved for a few, and companies can tap into liquidity and distribution on a global scale," Solana Foundation president Lily Liu said in a statement.

At the same time, the coin’s price has been edging closer to the $250 mark, a key psychological and technical resistance level.

Such momentum has not gone unnoticed, as traders and analysts are watching to see whether Solana can sustain this rally.

The move quickly drew attention across the market, as large-scale inflows like this often reflect growing confidence in future price gains.

Solana Surpasses Ethereum in September Inflows, Boosting Bullish Outlook
$291M Flows Into Solana — Can Price Smash Through $250? Analysts and entrepreneurs note that such inflows are not only substantial in size but also in timing, as the overall crypto market exhibits signs of renewed strength.

According to market data, Solana’s share of total institutional inflows now surpasses that of Ethereum for the same period, marking a notable shift in investor preference.

This development adds weight to the argument that Solana is gaining traction as a leading blockchain for scalability and adoption. 

The move quickly drew attention across the market, as such large-scale buys often signal strong confidence in future price gains.

Short-term market context: price and volume
Solana’s spot price traded in the low-$200s on September 29, 2025. CoinGecko reported SOL at roughly $210 on that date, with a seven-day range from about $192 to $222.

CoinMarketCap’s live price on the same day showed SOL around US$210 with a 24-hour trading volume in the billions. These price datapoints provide context: the inflows arrived while SOL was well below its January 2025 all-time high near US$293.

The $291 million inflow into Solana ETPs on Sept. 29, 2025, is a clear, data-backed sign of concentrated institutional interest.  

The proof of a lasting move will be whether demand strengthens the price above the $245–$250 resistance with commensurate volume, and whether the broader market environment sustains risk appetite.

Coinbase Whales Accumulate 139 Billion SHIB as Traders Dismiss Token cryptonews
SHIB
SHIB whales moved 139B tokens worth $1.64M from Coinbase, betting on a rebound as retail traders exit Shiba Inu at yearly lows.

Newton Gitonga2 min read

30 September 2025, 06:33 PM

The price of Shiba Inu has remained muted, stuck near $0.00001159 at the time of writing, leaving retail traders frustrated. Months of lower highs and falling liquidity have dampened sentiment, with many dismissing the meme coin as an unattractive asset. 

However, while smaller traders exit the market, blockchain data indicates whales are positioning themselves quietly. Recent accumulation has reignited speculation that large holders are preparing for a rebound in the final quarter of the year.

Large SHIB Transfers Signal AccumulationOn-chain data tracked a significant movement of Shiba Inu tokens from Coinbase into an unknown wallet. Reports confirmed the wallet withdrew 41,958,447,274 SHIB, valued at around $502,240 at the time of transfer. Hours later, the same address received another 97,192,000,000 SHIB, equivalent to $1.15 million. Combined, the wallet secured 139,150,244,953 SHIB, with a total value of approximately $1.64 million at today’s price.

Source: Arkham

The timing of these purchases coincides with Shiba Inu’s weakest levels of the year. The token has lost approximately 70% of its value since December 2024, when it traded at a price of around $0.00004. Its current consolidation suggests whales are capitalizing on discounted levels, building positions that could deliver outsized gains if momentum shifts.

Potential Upside If Market RecoversThe whale might be rewarded with profit if Shiba Inu regains the trading range that the token was in the middle of December 2024. The price varied then between $0.000018 and $0.000020, which is very high at the present level. 

At such a price, the contents of the wallet would experience an increase in value of between $2.5 million and $2.7 million as compared to the current amount of $1.64 million. The result of such an increase would give an investor a profit of over one million dollars.

The move by Whale goes against the current retail mood, with it most recently calling SHIB trash. The whales are likely to be waiting on a recovery that runs into Q4 by stockpiling the tokens when sentiment is poor. The purchases highlight the common pattern in the crypto market, where large investors usually use fallen prices to buy.

A7A5 is now recognized as a digital financial asset in Russia cryptonews
A7A5
The ruble-pegged stablecoin A7A5 has been recognized as a digital asset under Russian law and will soon facilitate Russia’s cross-border settlements.

The approval will allow Russian companies to use the cryptocurrency for payments in international trade deals, circumventing financial restrictions imposed by the West.

Russia to employ ruble-backed stablecoin in settlements
Russian firms doing business with foreign partners can now legally use the A7A5 crypto as a means of payment, when exporting and importing goods.

The Russian ruble-linked currency has become the first stablecoin accepted as a digital financial asset (DFA), as defined in current legislation, the business news portal RBC reported, quoting an announcement by the project’s team.

According to a dedicated law, which went into force in early 2021, DFAs represent tokenized versions of real-world assets. Unlike decentralized cryptocurrencies and tokens, these are based on private, not public blockchains.

Russian DFAs are only issued by “information system operators” authorized by the Central Bank of Russia (CBR), such as Sberbank and Alfa-Bank, or the platforms Atomize and Tokeon, among others.

The A7A5 tokens were first minted in February 2025 in Kyrgyzstan. Their market capitalization already exceeds 41 billion rubles (close to $500 million).

On Tuesday, the head of the A7A5 project, Leonid Shumakov, was quoted stating:

“The A7A5 stablecoin has already become a convenient and effective tool for cross-border settlements using blockchain.”

He is convinced the stablecoin can be scaled up further and offer solutions that will “bring significant positive effects for individuals, companies, and the economy as a whole.”

Sanctioned Russian bank and its entities underpin A7A5 payments
A7A5 transactions are processed by the Tokeon digital asset platform, which is part of the PSB Group. Formerly known as Promsvyazbank, PSB is a state-owned Russian bank, placed under sanctions.

The crypto is advertised as backed by deposits at the PSB. Western governments allege it’s being used by Russian actors to bypass measures restricting Moscow’s ability to finance its war in Ukraine.

To utilize A7A5 in foreign trade transactions, a Russian company would have to register as an investor on the Tokeon platform and buy stablecoins. The recipients of the payments will get tokens on either the Tron or the Ethereum blockchain, the RBC report detailed.

Pilot settlements have been successful, unveiled Olga Myamlina, deputy chair of PSB Bank. And according to Igor Egorkin, CEO of Tokeon, the initiative has been supported by the Russian government.

The stablecoin was reportedly created by A7, a Russian company, majority-owned by a fugitive Moldovan oligarch with a Russian passport, Ilan Shor.

However, it’s currently issued by a Kyrgyz-registered entity called Old Vector, which claims the project is now “fully independent.”

Both have been sanctioned alongside other entities linked to A7A5, such as the Kyrgyzstan-based crypto exchange Grinex, alleged successor of the Russian Garantex, shut down in a U.S.-led operation in March.

Around the time the latest sanctions were enforced, the currency briefly lost its peg to the Russian fiat.

According to the issuer’s announcement, the stablecoin is now compliant with existing Russian regulations and has been allowed to circulate as a digital financial asset in Russia, despite its status as a “foreign digital right” (FDR), or a DFA issued abroad.

The news about the regulatory approval for A7A5 comes after, earlier in September, financial authorities in Moscow indicated their intention to regulate stablecoins and securities based on digital assets. It also follows calls to utilize crypto in the development of the country’s economy.

While transactions with cryptocurrencies, especially their use as a means of payment domestically, remain largely prohibited, an “experimental” legal regime allows Russian firms to employ them in cross-border payments.

According to a recent statement by the Kremlin’s business advisor, Boris Titov, Russia’s foreign trade settlements with cryptocurrency reached $12 billion in the first half of 2025.

Did ZeroStack really raise $401M for the Zero Gravity Labs OG token? cryptonews
OG
Zero Gravity Labs has raised red flags following the creation of a new Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) company intending to buy OG tokens. The NASDAQ-listed Flora Growth Corp. announced it would build a DAT based on OG tokens, the native assets of the brand-new Zero Gravity Chain. 

Altcoin treasury companies are still few, with most buyers focusing on ETH and Solana. In the past two weeks, NASDAQ-listed Flora Growth Corp. (FLGC) announced plans to raise $401M and buy an obscure asset, the new OG token. OG launched a few days ago, following an airdrop, and has already slid from a peak of $6 to $2.41.

OG tokens launched just a few days ago, and have already shifted to a lower valuation. | Source: Coingecko
OG tokens belonged to the recently launched Zero Gravity Blockchain. This was the first red flag for the new DAT company – while Flora Growth Corp. filed its plans on September 19 in an 8-K form, the actual chain launched two days later, on September 21. 

Flora Growth Corp. then announced plans to rename itself to ZeroStack and start stacking OG tokens as its main reserve. The second red flag was that OG tokens were barely traded, and the company built its entire DAT strategy on non-existent valuations. 

Did ZeroStack really raise $401M for the Zero Gravity Labs OG token?
The main red flag for Flora Growth Corp. (a.k.a. ZeroStack) was the reality of the $401M raise. The amount of funding is much larger, even compared to DAT for well-established coins and tokens. With slowing demand, did the market really offer up $401M for the newly launched OG tokens? 

A brief analysis showed ZeroStack did not really attract fresh liquidity. 

OG Labs announced that it had raised $401M, but @mdudas point is valid, the actual fresh capital inflow was only $13.7M.

Actual Breakdown of the $401M Claim

• Fresh external cash: $13.66M (3.4%) — direct investments from Dao5, Abstract Ventures, etc.
• Solana tokens: $22.88M… https://t.co/QcXMVJu6jZ

— ETH_APPLE🇰🇷 (@eth_apple) September 30, 2025

A breakdown of the fundraising structure paints a different picture. The newly announced DAT company attracted just $13.5M in fresh capital from its partners, including Dao5, Abstract ventures, Dispersion Capital, Blockchain Builders Fund, and Salt.

DeFi Def Corp., one of the leading Solana treasury companies, further donated $22.88M in SOL tokens through its own private placement with an 8% coupon. 

Zero Gravity Labs Inc., the for-profit development firm behind the Zero Gravity blockchain, added $150M to the investment – but it was paid in-kind. Zero Gravity Labs, in fact, conjured OG tokens out of thin air and offered them as part of the raise. 

The DAT also raised another $215.3M on paper, for 8,546,955 pre-funded warrants at $25.19 each. The warrants would be payable in OG tokens, at $3 per token. Once again, the Zero Gravity blockchain founder is prepared to grant OG tokens. The ability to just mint the tokens and give them a valuation based on the warrant price is raising even more red flags that the project did not meet real OG buying, but in fact attempted to tap market liquidity for its tokens. 

Altcoin treasuries seek to tap stock market liquidity for sluggish tokens
As Cryptopolitan previously reported, altcoin treasuries gained speed, often choosing PIPE funding or reverse mergers with NASDAQ-listed companies. It is possible that some of the backers of those companies attempted to monetize already existing token reserves from treasuries or other holdings that cannot be sold on any market. 

Using the tokens as a reserve, however, meant the holders could still access liquidity by selling shares. This would tank the share price, but the initial enthusiasm for DAT companies would allow investors to sell quickly. While the tokens remained locked, the token owners were not obliged to hold the shares. 

ZeroStack, however, is the first company to use a brand-new token as a treasury, seeking ways to monetize the team’s own treasury. 

For retail investors, it is difficult or impossible to study some of the non-transparent structures of DAT companies. ZeroStack has opened a dangerous precedent, where new token launches aim to tap retail liquidity through the stock market. Since crypto investors are more skeptical, using a DAT may give access to a fresh pool of buyers who are not aware of the inherent risk and the opaque sales strategy.

Michael Saylor Reveals Strategy's Endgame To Accumulate $1 Trillion Bitcoin For Its Treasury cryptonews
BTC
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. We also follow a rigorous Review Methodology when evaluating exchanges and tools. 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.

According to Strategy executive chairman, Michael Saylor, the company has an ambitious vision for its Bitcoin strategy. Saylor compared Bitcoin to historic breakthroughs such as fire, electricity, and oil, calling it the next stage of digital energy.

Strategy’s Trillion-Dollar Bitcoin Endgame Aims to Redefine Corporate Treasuries
In a recent discussion with Bitcoin Magazine, Saylor said the “endgame” is to accumulate a trillion dollars’ worth of Bitcoin and expand from there. According to Saylor, Bitcoin represents property, capital, and energy in cyberspace, offering a way to transfer value through time and space.

Saylor stressed that governments and corporations are only beginning to understand this shift. He noted that 95% of decision makers in finance still do not grasp the concept of digital energy. For him, this misunderstanding is an opportunity. Those who recognize Bitcoin early stand to benefit the most before widespread adoption takes hold.

Strategy has become the most prominent corporate Bitcoin treasury. Saylor explained that his company started this trend in 2020 and has inspired many others to follow. He also credited Bitcoin for Strategy’s overall outperformance.

He said the number of publicly traded firms holding Bitcoin has grown from a handful to more than 180 today. The Strategy chairman believes this number will rise to thousands as more companies shift their balance sheets to hold Bitcoin as a core treasury asset.

Strategy Chairman Foresees Tech Giants Embedding Bitcoin Despite Ongoing Skepticism
The Strategy chairman expects firms like Apple, Google, and Microsoft to eventually embed Bitcoin support directly into operating systems and hardware. In his view, that would be a major sign of mainstream adoption. Saylor has even predicted that Bitcoin will outperform the S&P 500 forever.

Saylor acknowledged that criticism and doubt are constant in Bitcoin’s journey. He compared this skepticism to resistance seen with other paradigm shifts such as electricity and nuclear power. According to him, critics appear at every price milestone, but the coin continues to grow regardless.

Strategy’s Bitcoin Push Strengthens Bitcoin Network and Spreads Wealth
On concerns that corporations crowd out individual investors, Saylor dismissed the idea. He pointed out that individuals gained $1.8 trillion in the value of their holdings since corporations like Strategy and BlackRock began buying Bitcoin.

He argued that corporate adoption strengthens the network and it’s rewarding early investors. Strategy recently bought more Bitcoin to continue with this approach.

The Strategy chairman also emphasized that Bitcoin custody is easier and more decentralized than gold. According to him, individuals, companies, and governments can hold their own BTC reserves. Saylor said even if only banks and governments held Bitcoin, it would still be far more decentralized than the gold standard.

For Saylor, Bitcoin represents hope. He believes it offers humanity a new foundation of economic integrity and energy. Strategy’s trillion-dollar goal, he said, is not just about corporate success but about powering a global system of trust.

Bitcoin and Ethereum pump! Here's what happened in crypto today cryptonews
BTC ETH
Journalist

Posted: October 1, 2025

Key Takeaways
What’s driving the price of Bitcoin and Ethereum?
Bitcoin and Ethereum pumped by more than 2% on the day following massive institutional and whale purchases.

Will this sustain broader market strength? 
The broader crypto market reflected the bounce, rising by a percent. Its sustainability depends on continued capital inflow into the digital assets.

The last 24 hours have seen the whole of the crypto market bounce by 1%, with Bitcoin [BTC] and Ethereum [ETH] leading. The pair surged by over 2%, regaining previously lost key price levels.

With only a day left until the last quarter of the year begins, sentiment is starting to shift. Whales and institutions have set the tone after almost two weeks of market correction across most of the coins.

The shift in sentiment in the last 24 hours has resulted from several factors. SEC chair, Paul Atkins, affirmed his stance on making crypto his number one priority to fuel innovation in the United States.

This induced confidence among crypto enthusiasts at a time the market was struggling.

Institutions and whales were also loading up more BTC and ETH. Bitcoin Spot ETFs saw $518M in inflows, which is 4.6K BTC. ETH broke its 5-day ETF outflow streak as it received $546M in capital injection.

Fidelity bought $299 million worth of BTC and $202 million worth of ETH, as per Whale Insider.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) added over $20M BTC, taking the firm’s holdings to slightly more than 3% of Bitcoin’s total supply.

Source: Arkham/

BlackRock (IBIT) also purchased $154M in BTC. On top of that, IBIT dethroned Deribit as the largest BTC options venue, with its Open Interest (OI) at $38 billion against $32 billion.

For Ethereum, whales were closing short positions as they reverted to accumulation.

The market rebounded, resulting in over $1.58M in losses for one whale, as per Lookonchain data. On buying, a new wallet by BitMine added $107M ETH. A whale also added $21M in ETH from the OKX exchange.

Price analysis of BTC and ETH
On the charts, Bitcoin rose above $110,000, with the price reaching $114,000 at the time of writing. However, the BTC was seeing some rejection, with Crypto Tony predicting a pullback to $113,000.

Looking ahead, price needed to break above $115K for a continued surge. If prices fail to stay above $110K, they could retest lower levels.

Source: CryptoTony/X

Ethereum also reclaimed the key support level at $4,000 that had been lost.

Price briefly dipped below this mark and was now targeting the resistance at $4,250, which would allow for further upside. If the altcoin failed to stay above $4,250, the drop could be repeated.

Solana Ecosystem To Gain Boost With New Alliance Between Crypto.com And Sharps Technology – Details cryptonews
SOL
Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The Solana blockchain is definitely in the spotlight now as new developments unfold that could bolster and enhance the network’s adoption and recognition in the dynamic financial world. A recent report outlined a new strategic union between two prominent companies that would foster this advancement in the SOL ecosystem.

A Strategic Partnership To Foster Solana Innovation
In the ongoing bull market cycle, several key moves are continuously being carried out that reflect the growing scalability and efficiency of the Solana blockchain and its thriving ecosystem. One of the latest moves is the strategic partnership between Crypto.com and Sharps Technology, an emerging leader in digital asset treasury management.

On Monday, these two financial behemoths announced their union, which is aimed at strengthening the SOL ecosystem. This alliance signifies yet another important turning point in the leading blockchain’s explosive growth and recognition.

By expanding its digital asset treasury strategy with Crypto.com services for its holdings, Sharps Technology’s bold vision is to align traditional finance with the SOL ecosystem. “Partnering with Crypto.com, a platform with over 150 million users, provides us with the institutional-grade tools and liquidity access to responsibly manage one of the largest Solana treasuries, while also directly contributing to the growth of the Solana ecosystem,” James Zhang, Strategic Advisor to Sharps.

The announcement underscores the robust conviction and interest of Sharps Technology toward Solana’s long-term value and potential, having acquired over 2 million SOL in its treasury. With SOL trading above the $200 price level, the company’s SOL holding is currently valued at almost $400 million.

Overall, the action demonstrates increasing corporate and institutional interest in building and expanding on the Solana blockchain. Furthermore, with this move, SOL’s position as a blockchain created for scalability, efficiency, and next-generation financial applications is further strengthened.

SOL At The Top Of Total Active Developers
While strategic moves are made to boost its ecosystem, Solana is actively demonstrating its growing dominance in the blockchain sector. According to a report from Solana Daily on X, the leading blockchain has experienced a substantial surge in active developer activity.

Following the surge, SOL has now emerged as the clear leader in total active developers. Data shared by the platform shows that SOL is ranked no.1, surpassing all other chains with more builders contributing to its thriving ecosystem.

Interestingly, the blockchain saw nearly 2x more developers than Ethereum. Known for its speed, scalability, and low-cost transactions, this rise in devs underscores SOL’s rising role as a magnet for innovation, putting it at the forefront of blockchain development.

At the time of writing, SOL’s price has reclaimed above the $209 level, demonstrating a slight increase of 0.15% in the last 24 hours. Despite the weakening upward movement, bullish sentiment still lingers around the altcoin as evidenced by a more than 42% rise in its trading volume in the past day.

Ostium Research's week-ahead outlook frames the setup as a fading “window of weakness” into a potential Q4 tailwind, but only if the market navigates an event-heavy calendar without losing critical supports.

Memecore Price Jumps: Will M Token Smash Through $3 in the Next 24 Hours? cryptonews
M
Memecore (M) has grabbed the spotlight today with a sharp price surge, drawing the attention of traders eyeing its next major milestone. After days of volatile movement, the M token has shown strong upward momentum, sparking speculation about whether it can touch the $3 mark within the next 24 hours. Market buzz suggests that increasing retail participation, combined with heightened social media activity, is fueling the rally. While short-term gains have energized bullish sentiment, traders remain cautious about possible profit-taking at key resistance levels. 

The question now is whether momentum will be strong enough to carry M past the $3 threshold.

The Memecore price has been gaining significant attention since its inception, with its notable upward moves. Regardless of the bearish pressure, the bulls continued to push the levels higher and as a result, the Memecore price has recovered the past 24-hour losses. Moreover, the price, which is just 20% away from new highs, could eventually form a new ATH in the next 24 hours. But here’s a catch!

The chart for MUSD/USDT shows price action consolidating within a descending triangle pattern, with resistance forming along the downward trendline. The Gaussian channel highlights the broader bullish momentum from early September, but the price has recently slipped below the mid-channel support, indicating weakening strength. After briefly breaking down toward $1.70, the price rebounded sharply back above the $2.20 support zone. The stochastic RSI indicates overbought conditions, suggesting short-term exhaustion. If the M price sustains above the Gaussian channel re-entry, it could retest $2.60; failure to hold the $2.20 support may open downside risk toward $1.90. Momentum remains fragile despite the recovery.

The short-term price action indicates a positive outlook, as the token has surged above the resistance-turned-support level between $2.10 and $2.15. However, the token is facing some resistance below the pivotal zone. The long-term price action suggests a bullish continuation, while reaching $3 seems to be a tedious job in the next 24 hours. Meanwhile, if the market sentiments change, the Memecore (M) price may achieve new highs. Besides, the rally could remain short-lived until the bullish sentiments strengthen.

Report Questions Ethereum's Leadership And Vision cryptonews
ETH
21h05 ▪

min read ▪ by
Luc Jose A.

Summarize this article with:

What if technology is no longer enough ? Despite its technical lead, Ethereum falters, not on its foundations, but on its narrative. This is the troubling finding of the “Project Mirror”, a study commissioned by the Ethereum Foundation, which reveals a deep unease: without a clear vision or a mobilizing narrative, the network loses momentum, attractiveness, and coherence. Behind the promises of Web3, a perception crisis is settling in.

In brief

A groundbreaking study reveals unease at the heart of the Ethereum ecosystem, where technology alone is no longer sufficient to unite.
Project Mirror highlights a perception crisis fueled by an absent or overly complex narrative.
Five major tensions weaken Ethereum, including unclear leadership, lack of support for creators, and an ambiguous role for layer 1.
The psychology of actors weighs as much as price in Ethereum’s dynamics, according to the study’s researchers.

An ecosystem losing its narrative bearings
The study “Project Mirror”, conducted between March and June, set out to capture the perception of the Ethereum ecosystem at one of its most critical moments, as the crypto just regained the top spot in USDT.

According to the Ethereum Foundation’s own words, the goal was to “understand how different audiences perceive Ethereum, identify challenges and strengths, and feed that back to the ecosystem so we can learn from it.”

Conducted by Valeria Salazar and Jill Gunter, the study relied on 60 qualitative interviews covering the entire community, in a difficult market context, with ETH fluctuating between $1,600 and $2,500 and hitting a three-year low in April.

The conclusions of the report reveal five major tensions weakening the perception of the Ethereum network. These weaknesses do not stem from technology, but from how the ecosystem tells its story, or fails to tell it. Here are the report’s main findings :

An absent or overly complex narrative : the researchers state that “without price dynamics or a simple narrative, Ethereum’s sophisticated vision appears brilliant but unreadable.” ;

An ambiguous role of Ethereum layer 1 : as Layer 2s absorb users and activity, Ethereum’s fundamental role becomes unclear ;

Insufficient institutional communication : the project lacks a clear and coherent message capable of uniting developers and users around a shared vision ;

A challenge in reconciling neutrality and leadership : the desire to remain neutral sometimes prevents the Ethereum Foundation from defining a strong and clear direction ;

Support deemed too weak for ecosystem players : some testimonials highlight a lack of structure, incentives, and guidance for those building on Ethereum.

Taken together, these elements highlight a crisis of narrative and strategic positioning, weakening Ethereum’s ability to attract talent, capital, and new crypto projects, despite an always technically advanced architecture.

When price becomes the dominant narrative
Price dynamics remain the main driver of the perceived narrative in the crypto ecosystem. “In crypto, price makes the narrative, and stagnation is perceived as a form of immobility,” note the researchers. In other words, no matter the technical advances: if the ETH price remains flat, the dominant perception will be of a project losing momentum.

This point is all the more marked as the study was conducted at a time when ETH struggled to regain upward momentum, despite active development on the long-term roadmap.

The researchers do not offer solutions, but open the debate : should the ecosystem leadership be redefined? Can success indicators other than price be designed? How to make a complex vision more accessible without diluting it ?

They emphasize the need to open collective reflection, particularly on how to support developers, unite users, and better embody Ethereum’s vision in a narrative understandable by all.

While ETH reached a new ATH at $4,950, this temporary improvement should not mask the structural vulnerabilities identified by the study. While price dynamics can temporarily silence critics, they do not replace a clear, shared, and embodied vision. This report invites thinking about Ethereum beyond technology and the market, placing at the heart of the project what is sorely missing today: a strong narrative, a unifying communication strategy, and the ability to engage the community in something other than the price curve.

Pepe Coin price forms a risky pattern as whale selling intensifies cryptonews
PEPE
Pepe Coin’s price remains under pressure this week and is at risk of further downside after the token formed a descending triangle pattern and as selling intensifies.

Summary

Pepe Coin price has formed a giant descending triangle pattern on the daily chart.
Whale and smart money investors have continued selling the coin.
The futures open interest has plunged to a multi-month low.

Pepe (PEPE), the third-biggest meme coin after Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, fell to a low of $0.000009205, its lowest level since June 24. The token has tumbled by almost 50% from its highest level this year.

One of the main reasons Pepe’s price has tumbled is that whales have continued to sell the token heavily. They now hold 6.54 trillion tokens, down from 7.6 trillion tokens.

The same selling has continued among the so-called smart money investors, who now hold 1.62 trillion tokens, down from 2.6 trillion in August. Whale and smart-money selling is often seen as a bearish sign for a token, as these investors have a long track record of success in the crypto industry.

More metrics show that demand for Pepe tokens has continued to fall in the past few months. For example, futures open interest dropped to $557 million on Tuesday from $800 million earlier this month and more than $1 billion in July.

Falling open interest is usually a sign of low demand among investors. The same decline has also happened in the spot market, where daily volume has continued to fall in the past few months.

Pepe Coin price technical analysis 
Pepe price chart | Source: crypto.news 
The daily timeframe chart shows that Pepe’s price has come under pressure in the past few months, falling from a high of $0.00001667 in May to a low of $0.0000091 today. This price is notable since it coincides with the horizontal line that connects the lowest swings since June this year.

Pepe has formed a descending triangle pattern, a common bearish continuation pattern made up of horizontal support and a descending trendline. In this case, the trendline connects the swing highs on May 22, July 22, and Sep. 13.

Pepe Coin’s price has moved below the 50-day and 100-day Exponential Moving Averages, while the Average Directional Index has risen, a sign that the retreat is gaining momentum.

Therefore, the coin will likely continue to fall as sellers target the next key support level at $0.0000059, the April 6 low.

Phantom launches new stablecoin CASH on Solana cryptonews
SOL
Phantom has unveiled a new U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin dubbed CASH, with an initial launch on Solana.

Summary

Phantom has launched a new U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin called CASH, with initial rollout on Solana.
CASH, built with Open Issuance platform by Stripe’s Bridge, will power crypto payments on Phantom Cash.
The Phantom Cash platform will allow over 15 million Phantom wallet users to tap into stablecoin payments anywhere ApplePay, GooglePay or Visa is accepted.

CASH is a stablecoin backed 1:1 by the U.S. dollar and built for both crypto and real-world utility, the Phantom team said.

The stablecoin will power Phantom Cash, a new financial app designed to bring crypto payments and use to everyday life, with users able to leverage their crypto balance to pay for everyday items on any platform that accepts Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Visa.

Phantom: more than a wallet
Phantom Cash will allow users to integrate new crypto payments features on Solana (SOL).

CASH will be the default stablecoin for more than 15 million Phantom users, who will access features such as virtual and debit cards, instant bank funding, and peer-to-peer payments.

“Your crypto should do more than sit in a wallet. Phantom Cash turns your crypto into everyday spending power without the extra steps or friction,” the wallet provider wrote.

Ostensibly, CASH brings new money functionality to Phantom, with users able to tap into the U.S. dollar-backed token in addition to features such as trading, holding, swapping, and token transfers.

Users will be able to enable deposits to their virtual accounts, with Stripe powering this through one-time verification functionality.

Stripe and the burgeoning crypto space
Phantom’s launch of CASH and its Phantom Cash platform comes as the crypto market experiences notable traction in stablecoin adoption. Tether and Circle are the industry giants in this space. However, major banks and other financial institutions are taking significant steps toward tapping into the momentum.

The latest bet on this growth is by Stripe, the financial services platform, which just unveiled a new platform through which any business can issue its own stablecoin. Stripe’s Bridge unit announced the launch of “Open Issuance,” which will allow fintechs, traditional banks, and other institutions to easily create and expand access to branded stablecoins.

Phantom is among the first platforms to use Open Issuance to launch CASH. Other platforms looking to leverage the new feature include Hyperliquid, MetaMask, Dakota, and Takenos.

3 Reasons Why Growth Investors Shouldn't Overlook Tetra Technologies (TTI) stocknewsapi
TTI
Growth investors focus on stocks that are seeing above-average financial growth, as this feature helps these securities garner the market's attention and deliver solid returns. However, it isn't easy to find a great growth stock.

In addition to volatility, these stocks carry above-average risk by their very nature. Also, one could end up losing from a stock whose growth story is actually over or nearing its end.

However, the Zacks Growth Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which looks beyond the traditional growth attributes to analyze a company's real growth prospects, makes it pretty easy to find cutting-edge growth stocks.

Tetra Technologies (TTI - Free Report) is one such stock that our proprietary system currently recommends. The company not only has a favorable Growth Score, but also carries a top Zacks Rank.

Studies have shown that stocks with the best growth features consistently outperform the market. And for stocks that have a combination of a Growth Score of A or B and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), returns are even better.

Here are three of the most important factors that make the stock of this oil and gas services company a great growth pick right now.

Earnings GrowthArguably nothing is more important than earnings growth, as surging profit levels is what most investors are after. And for growth investors, double-digit earnings growth is definitely preferable, and often an indication of strong prospects (and stock price gains) for the company under consideration.

While the historical EPS growth rate for Tetra Technologies is 38.9%, investors should actually focus on the projected growth. The company's EPS is expected to grow 5.9% this year, crushing the industry average, which calls for EPS growth of -2%.

Impressive Asset Utilization RatioGrowth investors often overlook asset utilization ratio, also known as sales-to-total-assets (S/TA) ratio, but it is an important feature of a real growth stock. This metric shows how efficiently a firm is utilizing its assets to generate sales.

Right now, Tetra Technologies has an S/TA ratio of 1.03, which means that the company gets $1.03 in sales for each dollar in assets. Comparing this to the industry average of 0.93, it can be said that the company is more efficient.

While the level of efficiency in generating sales matters a lot, so does the sales growth of a company. And Tetra Technologies looks attractive from a sales growth perspective as well. The company's sales are expected to grow 2.9% this year versus the industry average of 0%.

Promising Earnings Estimate RevisionsSuperiority of a stock in terms of the metrics outlined above can be further validated by looking at the trend in earnings estimate revisions. A positive trend is of course favorable here. Empirical research shows that there is a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements.

There have been upward revisions in current-year earnings estimates for Tetra Technologies. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has surged 3.8% over the past month.

Bottom LineWhile the overall earnings estimate revisions have made Tetra Technologies a Zacks Rank #2 stock, it has earned itself a Growth Score of B based on a number of factors, including the ones discussed above.

You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.

This combination indicates that Tetra Technologies is a potential outperformer and a solid choice for growth investors.

The Case for Adding International Small-Caps stocknewsapi
AVDV
If 2025 has had one big story in equities ETF trends, it may be the strong performance of international equities and foreign firms. Many investors entered 2025 underweight to ex-U.S. stocks, but tariff concerns and attractive valuations have seen foreign equities ETFs pick up significant interest and perform for their investors. While many such funds have dropped off a bit in the second half, one category with continued upside may be international small-caps. A value view, for example, could offer strong performance even into 2026.

See more: The Underrated Growth ETF Signaling a Buy to End 2025

Why focus on the international small-caps space, specifically? International small-caps are cheap relative to other international equities. Especially as many investors have already plowed into broader ex-U.S. equities firms, small-caps can continue to provide a lower cost entry. 

International Small-Caps in 2025
What’s more, the interest rate picture abroad could also help ex-U.S. small-caps. U.S. rates are dropping, yes, but other issues, like potential stagflation and unpredictable tariffs, loom. Small-caps often borrow significantly as part of their growth plans, which privileges rate environments with cheaper debt costs. Small-caps in markets like Japan’s, then, can benefit from the nation’s low rates.

Add in a value view in particular, and those attributes can be emphasized yet more. That’s where an international small-caps ETF like the Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF (AVDV) comes in. AVDV offers that value view into the category for a 36 basis point fee. The fund actively invests in the space, with Japan, Canada, and the U.K. as leading markets as of September 30. 

Specifically, its managers look for firms that appeal based on fundamental criteria. That includes metrics like cash flow, price-to-book value, revenue, and expenses. Together, that has helped the fund return a robust 39% YTD, beating its ETF Database Category and FactSet Segment averages in that time. It has also beaten those averages over the last three- and one-month periods, as well.

Together, the fund could present a nice addition to an equities portfolio as U.S. economic uncertainty persists. For those looking to diversify into stocks in good environments and low valuations, AVDV can appeal.

Get the Long & Short of It With HFEQ stocknewsapi
HFEQ
Many retail investors are conditioned to believe that long only is the way to do things. They think that when equity markets retreat, the appropriate courses of action are to raise cash or increase fixed income exposure. Professionals do things differently, including deployment of long/short strategies.

Thanks to ETFs, that concept is more accessible to a broader swath of ordinary investors. Count the newly minted Unlimited HFEQ Equity Long/Short ETF (HFEQ) as one of the ETFs democratizing long/short investing. Courtesy of Bob Elliott’s Unlimited ETFs, HFEQ debuted in July and could be an example of a well-timed rookie ETF.

“As market volatility continues due to inflation, Central Bank policy, and other concerns, investors may be seeking ways to add resiliency to their portfolios. It could therefore be an opportune time to consider the inherently risk-mitigating characteristics of long-short equity strategies,” according to Morgan Stanley.

HFEQ Has Advantages
While investors are obviously familiar with being long on securities, some are aware shorting select stocks can be lucrative. However, it’s a tricky endeavor for many market participants. It can involve margin borrowing or needing to get the timing right with put options. Plus, there’s the specter of unlimited losses when a short bet goes awry.

Long/short strategies like HFEQ eliminate those burdens. Meanwhile, it provides end users with other benefits, including portfolio protection and avenues through which to reduce volatility.

“As the name suggests, long-short equity strategies invest both long and short in publicly traded equities and equity-related instruments. Compared to their long-only counterparts, long-short strategies are designed to have lower sensitivity to equity market movements, as measured by beta, volatility and drawdowns,” added Morgan Stanley.

Plus, a long/short ETF like HFEQ has two avenues through which profits can be accrued: its long and short positions. Meanwhile, long-only funds only appreciate when the underlying securities increase in value.

HFEQ is actively managed — a highly appropriate if not necessary management style when combining long and short positions under a single umbrella. Said another way, there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of hand-holding in the long/short. HFEQ provides that. The new ETF could also provide protection if equity markets suddenly tumble.

“During the bear markets of 2000-2002 and 2007-2008, the down markets of mid-2011 and late-2018, the chaotic beginning of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic unfolded, and the 2022 bear market, long-short equity strategies broadly, as measured by the HFRI Equity Hedge (Total) Index, and market-neutral strategies more specifically, as measured by the HFRI Equity Market Neutral Index, achieved their goal of mitigating downside risk relative to the broad markets across a variety of metrics,” concluded Morgan Stanley.

The terms of the deal were unclear, according to the source. Meta and Rivos did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.

Meta has been one of Rivos' biggest customers and had been talking to the startup about a deal, a second source familiar with the matter said. The sources declined to be named as they were not authorized to discuss the information.

Reuters exclusively reported in March that Meta was testing its first in-house chip for training AI systems as the company seeks to cut infrastructure costs linked to its spending on advanced AI tools.

The Instagram and Facebook owner has spent heavily on sought-after AI chips from Nvidia.

Rivos was seeking new funding at an over $2 billion valuation, The Information reported in August.

Bloomberg News first reported on the potential deal.

The 10 Strongest-Performing Mega-Cap Stocks Of 2025 stocknewsapi

As we prepare for the fourth quarter of 2025, I find it very useful to look at the strongest stocks in 2025. I sort stocks on a year-to-date percent change basis. This exercise helps me easily spot “leading” stocks and it helps remove emotions from the decision making process. Also, it helps me find leading stocks and wait for proper buy points because many times, leading stocks tend to be in strong uptrends that can last several years. Of course, there’s a chance any and all of these stocks fall. It’s just a good exercise to see what the strongest stocks are in the market at any given time.

Here are the ten strongest mega-cap stocks (so far) in 2025:

1. Palantir (PLTR)
Palantir is the strongest performing mega cap stock in the market (as of this writing 9/30/25) on a year-to-date percent change basis. Palantir is a leading tech/AI stock that is growing rapidly. The company continued converting a large pipeline of government and commercial contracts into sustainable recurring revenue in 2025. Its platform-based approach is unique because it integrates data, analytics, and operational workflows. All that makes it sticky among large customers who increasingly treat Palantir as a mission-critical software partner. Expansion into vertical solutions and success in platform monetization (subscription plus consumption-based fees) contributed to stronger revenue visibility and improving operating leverage. As profitability metrics advanced, market skepticism diminished and the multiple expanded.

2. AppLovin (APP)
AppLovin is another monster stock in 2025. The company developed a mobile app ecosystem to help developers monetize their work. The company is ad-tech and mobile-software player that combines effective user-acquisition tools, a growing independent game publishing arm, and targeted monetization services to grow earnings by triple digits in each of the past 4 quarters. In 2025, the company benefited from robust mobile-ad demand, improvements in measurement and privacy-safe targeting, and a higher-margin mix of platform services. Strategic investments in creative optimization, in-app commerce, and cross-promotion improved ROI for advertisers and developers, boosting revenue per active user and driving solid margin improvements.

3. General Electric (GE)
General Electric’s (yes the giant industrial company) stock has soared this year. GE’s turnaround gained traction recently thanks in part to Trump’s made in America policies. GE is a leader in aviation, renewable-energy equipment, grid technologies, and many other important industries in our economy. The company has been able to focus on higher-value services and long-term service agreements which increased recurring revenue and smoothed cyclicality. Capital redeployment toward high-return businesses, debt reduction, and portfolio simplification enhanced investor confidence. Renewable and electrification tailwinds — particularly in gas turbines and wind-turbine services — supported a favorable outlook for orders and backlog conversion. All this has helped GE become one of the strongest performing mega cap stocks in 2025.

4. Oracle (ORCL)
Oracle’s stock is an absolute monster stock. The stock vaulted over 40% after its most recent earnings report. That move made Larry Ellison the richest man in the world, surpassing Elon Musk! Oracle’s recent pivot to multi-year cloud based services has been a huge win. The company has emphasized autonomous database capabilities and verticalized cloud stacks and all that led to massive earnings and revenue growth. Subscription and cloud services growth accelerated as enterprise customers migrated mission-critical workloads to Oracle’s Gen2 and industry-focused cloud offerings. All this has helped sales and revenue grow.

MORE FOR YOU

5. Uber (UBER)
Uber has grown far beyond just being a ride-hailing app. Today, it’s a global platform that moves people, food, and goods across dozens of countries—and in 2025, the company really hit its stride. Uber leaned on a multi-pronged growth playbook: the rebound (and expansion) of ride-share demand, profitable scaling of its delivery and logistics businesses, and new ways to monetize the platform through dynamic pricing, subscription offerings, and enterprise partnerships have all helped the stocks rally. At the same time, driver utilization and overall platform efficiency improved, which boosted unit economics. International market recoveries added another layer of growth, while Uber’s heavy investment in routing technology, machine learning, and bundling rides with delivery helped expand margins and strengthen market share against local rivals.

6. RTX (RTX)
RTX, the aerospace and defense giant formerly known as Raytheon Technologies, has been steadily reshaping itself into a more focused industry leader. That transformation paid off in 2025. Global defense budgets remained elevated, aerospace supply chains continued to improve, and commercial aerospace services proved resilient—all of which fueled organic growth. RTX also leaned on its reliable aftermarket and services revenue, while operational efficiencies and selective divestitures helped strengthen margins. With strong free cash flow, the company was able to buy back stock and reduce debt—moves that reassured investors looking for balance sheet discipline during a year of economic uncertainty.

7. Broadcom (AVGO)
Broadcom has built a unique business that combines its world-class semiconductor products with a fast-growing software portfolio. That mix gives the company both steady hardware revenue and recurring, high-margin software income—a rare balance in the tech world. In 2025, Broadcom saw strong demand for networking gear, data center connections, and broadband and AI infrastructure. On the software side, margins have been stable and predictable. Broadcom has also benefited handsomely from the growth in AI.

8. Nvidia (NVDA)
Nvidia continued to dominate and remains a standout leader in the AI, Crypto, Graphics, and gaming space. Strong adoption of generative AI workloads across hyperscalers, enterprises, and cloud providers kept demand for Nvidia’s data-center GPUs extremely high. Nvidia is a great example of a leading stock that has been leading for years. If you look at a monthly chart of Nvidia, you’ll see a very impressive uptrend. There’s a strong chance this uptrend will continue as we head into Q4 2025 and beyond.

9. Goldman Sachs (GS)
Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s most influential investment banks, stood out from its peers in 2025. The firm saw stronger investment banking activity, steady inflows into its asset-management arm, and solid trading revenues. A rebound in mergers, acquisitions, and capital markets deals—especially in key regions—helped boost results. Goldman also secured lucrative advisory work on corporate restructurings and strategic acquisitions. On top of that, tight expense control and smarter use of capital drove higher returns and profitability. Its growing consumer and private-wealth businesses added another layer of stability, helping smooth out earnings in what’s often a cyclical industry.

10. Philip Morris International (PM)

Philip Morris International, best known for its iconic cigarette brands, has been reshaping itself into a broader smoke-free and nicotine-focused company. That transition gained real traction in 2025. The company’s heated tobacco and vaping products continued to win over consumers, driving growth even as traditional cigarette volumes declined. Strong demand for its IQOS platform and other reduced-risk products helped boost both revenue and margins. At the same time, Philip Morris managed costs tightly and generated solid cash flow, which supported dividends and buybacks—key priorities for investors. The result was a more balanced, forward-looking business model that’s less dependent on traditional tobacco sales.

Key themes tying these names together

Leadership in structural growth markets: AI compute, cloud, aerospace/defense, and mobile monetization.Mix shifts to recurring, higher-margin revenues: software, services, aftermarket.Strong cash generation: enabling buybacks, debt reduction, or M&A to increase shareholder returns.Operational improvement and disciplined capital allocation: reduced execution risk and supported multiple expansion.Risks and watch points

Macroeconomic sensitivity: Several names (GE, RTX, GS) remain cyclical and could see earnings pressure if growth slows.Regulation and geopolitics: Defense, semiconductors, tobacco alternatives, and AI infrastructure face regulatory and cross-border risks that can affect revenue and margin outcomes.Competition and execution: Fast-moving spaces (AI, cloud, ad-tech) require continual product execution; missteps could compress expected growth.Conclusion
These are the 10 strongest performing mega cap stocks in 2025. For the most part, these companies are able to grow their earnings, revenue, and have predictable cash flow. While each stock carries company-specific risks, the ten strongest stocks in 2025 reflect the strongest mega cap stocks in 2025. Barring some unforeseen sell off, these stocks can continue to lead as we head into Q4 and beyond.

Exxon to slash thousands of jobs in major corporate overhaul and comprehensive restructuring plan stocknewsapi
XOM
Oil giant Exxon Mobil is preparing to cut thousands of jobs worldwide in a corporate reshuffling.

A spokesperson for Exxon confirmed to Barron’s on Tuesday that the company plans to cut 2,000 jobs, representing 3% to 4% of the energy company’s global workforce.

The news was first reported by Bloomberg, which said that Exxon sent a memo to employees noting the company is consolidating smaller offices into regional hubs as part of a long-term restructuring plan.

"Our global office network was established decades ago under very different circumstances," Exxon said in a statement to Barron’s. "To support the collaboration so critical to our success, we are aligning our global footprint with our operating model and bringing our teams together."

Exxon did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment or clarification on what positions may be cut and when.

In recent years, Exxon Chairman and CEO Darren Woods warned of layoffs as part of an ongoing plan announced to "redesign work processes and improve cost competitiveness."

"We are making tough decisions, some of which will result in friends and colleagues leaving the company," Woods said in 2020. "Our core values have never been more important. We will maintain our focus on doing what is right. We will continue to care for the well-being of our communities and our people – and providing appropriate support for our colleagues who leave our organization."

In a June exclusive interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Woods argued that global demand for oil and natural gas will continue to grow, or at least remain strong, through 2050, contrary to narratives suggesting fossil fuel usage could steadily decline.
