Cardano price analysis by Coinidol.com. ADA has fallen below the moving average lines after being rejected twice at the $0.95 level.

Cardano had been trading above the moving average lines since September 8, but buyers were unable to sustain upward momentum above $0.95. A break above $0.95 would take the altcoin to its previous high of $1.01.

Cardano price long-term forecast: bearish

Today, the ADA price has dropped below the previous low of $0.78. The cryptocurrency price is rising as buyers attempt to keep it above the $0.78 level.

However, if Cardano faces further rejection at its recent high, it will fall back below $0.68. ADA is currently trading at $0.786.

Technical Indicators 

Key Resistance Zones: $1.20, $1.30, and $1.40 

Key Support Zones: $0.90, $0.80, and $0.70

ADA price indicators analysis

Following the latest decline, Cardano's price bars have moved below the horizontal moving averages. The price bars on the 4-hour chart are below the downward-sloping moving average lines, indicating the market is in a downward trend. Additionally, the 21-day SMA is below the 50-day SMA, signalling a decline.

ADA/USD daily chart - September 26, 2025

What is the next move for ADA?

Cardano is in decline but has paused above the $0.76 support. The cryptocurrency price is fluctuating above the $0.76 support level and below the moving average lines. If the current support level is breached, ADA's price could fall below $0.68. The altcoin is currently attempting to break through the $0.78 barrier and the moving average lines.

Native Market Launches USDH, Stakes HYPE
On September 27, Native Markets confirmed that USDH is now available on the exchange’s decentralized spot and derivatives markets.

According to the firm, traders can pair the asset against HYPE — Hyperliquid’s governance token — and USDC, giving users a stable unit of account directly integrated into the platform.

The team also locked 200,000 HYPE for three years to activate the listing, a move intended to anchor liquidity and governance alignment.

Ahead of the launch, Native Markets pre-minted $15 million USDH through HyperEVM, coordinating with the network’s Assistance Fund to support initial liquidity.

According to Native Markets, USDH is backed by cash and short-term US Treasuries. The issuer manages reserves through a mix of off-chain holdings and on-chain transparency tools, including oracle feeds that verify real-time balances.

Additionally, a share of returns from these reserves will fund periodic HYPE buybacks, strengthening the token’s economic foundation.

The release follows a governance contest earlier this month in which Native Markets won community approval to issue Hyperliquid’s first stablecoin. The project outperformed proposals from competitors and major issuers like Paxos and Agora.

Hyperliquid’s Dominance Under Threat
USDH’s arrival comes at a time when Hyperliquid is under growing competitive and operational pressure.

In recent weeks, rival exchange Aster — backed by YZi Labs, the family office of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao— has surged in trading activity.

Data from DeFiLlama shows Aster generated $147 billion in perpetual volume over the past week, outpacing Hyperliquid’s $81 billion.

Still, Hyperliquid remains the larger platform on a 30-day basis, recording $296 billion in cumulative volume versus Aster’s $162 billion.

However, analysts at Maelstrom warn that this lead could narrow as a significant token unlock approach.

From November, the DEX platform will gradually unlock roughly 237.8 million HYPE tokens worth about $12 billion over 24 months.

This impending unlock could significantly impact the market performance of a digital asset that has shed more than 20% in the past week.

Key Takeaways 
What levels define Dogecoin’s near-term outlook?
$0.22 acted as short-term support, but 12.78 billion DOGE accumulated at $0.20 makes it the critical level to watch.

What signals support a potential Q4 rally?
Strengthening MACD, stabilizing CMF, and the analyst’s halving-linked forecast suggest Dogecoin could rally later in 2025, following historical post-halving trends.

Dogecoin [DOGE], the biggest memecoin, was down about 12% in the past week but still managed to stay in the top 10 list among all cryptos.

The memecoin sector stayed in decline, even as several altcoins rallied in mid-July.

DOGE fell from $0.30 to $0.23 before stabilizing above $0.22 at press time, a former breakout zone.

However, according to analyst Ali Charts, the most important support zone was at $0.20. About 12.78 billion DOGE had been bought at the $0.20 level, with buying extending to the $0.27 level.

Indicators flash mixed signals
Dogecoin was slowly approaching this level, as the price was making lower highs and lows. The MACD was strengthening, indicating buyers were starting to kick in.

The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) showed that capital was starting to flow from buyers, as the indicator was forming a potential double bottom. This was a sign that capital outflow was weakening, paving the way for inflows.

Yet, bearish pressure kept the $0.20 level within reach unless $0.22 held firmly. If support is sustained, DOGE could attempt another push toward $0.30.

Spot traders are still selling
The odds of the price falling to $0.20, the most important support level, increased as the structure was still bearish.

Additionally, traders were still offloading the holdings. It was evidenced as the Spot Taker Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) shifted to a seller-dominated stance, signaling that traders continued to offload holdings.

This reinforced the risk of a drop to $0.20. Still, some analysts argued that the dip offered discounted entry ahead of potential Q4 upside.

Will DOGE rally in Q4?
On that note, EtherNasyonal predicted an upcoming Dogecoin rally on CoinMarketCap’s community section. The analyst reiterated that the third bull cycle for the memecoin was inevitable.

But will this bold prediction hold?

Looking at the chart, Dogecoin’s bullish cycles have followed Bitcoin halving years. The year 2025 is not an exception to this historic pattern of repetition. That said, DOGE could rally.

Altogether, a drop to $0.20 could ignite the next rally. Even so, the recent altcoin recovery might delay upside momentum, with a possible breakout shifted toward mid- or late Q4.

Decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are rapidly gaining traction among retail traders and quants, while institutions continue to favor centralized platforms, according to Bitget Wallet’s chief marketing officer Jamie Elkaleh.

Elkaleh told Cointelegraph that the strongest adoption of platforms like Hyperliquid is “coming from retail traders and semi-professional quants.” Retail users are drawn in by airdrop cultures and points systems, while quants favor “low fees, fast fills, and programmable strategies,” he said.

However, institutional desks still rely on centralized exchanges (CEXs) due to their support for fiat rails, compliance services and prime brokerage offerings.

Elkaleh noted that the execution quality gap between DEXs and CEXs is closing fast. “Order-book based DEXs such as Hyperliquid, dYdX v4, or GMX are now delivering latency and depth that used to be exclusive to CEXs,” he explained.

DEXs seek to deliver CEX-speed trading with onchain transparencyHyperliquid, one of the leading perpetual DEX platforms, runs on its own chain and offers an onchain central limit order book. “Every order, cancellation, and fill is fully auditable,” said Elkaleh. “It’s performance without compromising on decentralization.”

The platform achieves sub-second finality without charging gas fees per trade, aiming to combine CEX-like speed with self-custody. However, competition is heating up. On BNB Chain, Aster has emerged as a top challenger.

“Aster’s incentive campaigns recently pushed its daily perp volume to record levels, even overtaking Hyperliquid on certain days,” Elkaleh said. Over the past day, Aster has registered around $47 billion in perp volume, more than double Hyperliquid’s $17 billion volume, according to data from DefiLlama.

Top 10 DEX perps. Source: DefiLlamaThe growth of BNB- and Solana-based DEXs is notable. BNB perp protocols recently hit $60–70 billion in daily turnover, while Drift and Jupiter Perps have steadily gained traction. These ecosystems, Elkaleh said, are benefiting from fast settlement, smooth onboarding and incentives.

Still, DEXs face well-known risks. Elkaleh pointed to concerns around validator or sequencer centralization, faulty oracles, exploitable upgrade keys and bridge vulnerabilities. He also flagged the challenges of maintaining reliable liquidation engines during times of volatility.

On Friday, Aster reimbursed traders affected by a glitch in its Plasma (XPL) perpetual market, which briefly spiked prices to nearly $4 due to a hard-coded index error. The price surge led to unexpected liquidations and fees.

DEXs and CEXs to co-existLooking ahead, Elkaleh said he doesn’t see a zero-sum outcome. “DEXs are undoubtedly the future of crypto-native trading rails,” he said. “At the same time, CEXs remain essential for fiat liquidity and onboarding.”

“Over the next decade, we could see hybrid models that blend the strengths of both, creating a balanced ecosystem where coexistence, not displacement, drives the next phase of crypto markets,” he concluded.

Magazine: 7 reasons why Bitcoin mining is a terrible business idea

Multiple Solana ETFs could win SEC approval in the next two weeks, boosting institutional access.

Major firms, including Fidelity, VanEck, and Grayscale, filed amended S-1s in anticipation of approval.

According to industry experts, several Solana-based ETFs could be approved for trading in the next two weeks. ETF expert Nate Geraci anticipates that approval for three or more of the pending applications could be imminent, potentially triggering significant market developments across the cryptocurrency sector.

Major Asset Managers Submit Updated Filings
On Friday, seven major investment firms submitted amended documentation to US regulators simultaneously, indicating that they were preparing in concert to expect approval decisions. Franklin Templeton, Fidelity Investments, CoinShares, Bitwise Asset Management, Grayscale Investments, VanEck and Canary Capital all filed amended S-1s. These detailed disclosure reports provide financial information, risk analysis, and particular securities offerings on their proposed Solana investment products.

The timing is after a successful precedent set by the first of its kind Solana staking ETF launched by REX-Osprey, which debuted two months ago on the Cboe BZX Exchange. This was the first product to show good investor demand, with a trading volume of $33 million and net inflows of $12 million. The favourable response confirmed the market need for institutional-grade Solana exposure in traditional investment vehicles.

Markets in Europe have exhibited a strong demand for Solana-based products, as shown by Bitwise’s European staking ETP attracting an astonishing $60 million of investment in just five days of trading. This has further added to the conviction of analysts about upcoming approvals from the U.S. and the opportunity for institutional adoption at a larger scale.

Recently, Pantera Capital representatives emphasized the institutional investment opportunity of Solana, noting under-allocation relative to Bitcoin and Ethereum positions. This placement implies that it can be a highly capitalized entity when the regulatory restrictions are lifted to allow mainstream investment entry.

The regulatory trends are not isolated to Solana, which can positively impact the entire cryptocurrency industry by improving institutional involvement. The recent SEC approval of generic crypto ETF listing standards opens up smooth avenues to future digital asset products, and it lowers uncertainty on regulation to asset managers.

These approvals are expected to lead to more altcoin market momentum, especially as conservative investors have easier access to other cryptocurrencies. The fact that these filings include staking capabilities also enhances the future of Ethereum ETF staking features, which are yet to be approved by the regulators.

October seems like a month where cryptocurrency ETF growth is poised to take off, with several applications on the final approval process at the same time.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is close to forming a golden cross, as indicated by its technical chart. The king of meme coins on its three-hour chart shows that a golden cross could form anytime now as the asset rebounded from a low of $0.2223 in the last 24 hours.

Trading volume lags despite Dogecoin price recoveryAs per data, the 9-day and 26-day moving averages of Dogecoin show that the golden cross could form around the $0.2389 price level. Notably, a golden cross is considered a bullish signal, and it occurs when a short-term moving average crosses over a longer-term one on the asset’s chart.

Dogecoin 3H Price Chart | Source: TradingViewFor DOGE, the event is likely to occur soon, and the meme coin is gradually recovering as it inches closer. A confirmation of the golden cross could see the price surge, particularly if other market metrics align. As of this writing, Dogecoin's price was changing hands at $0.2301, representing a 2.25% increase in the last 24 hours.

The meme coin had earlier climbed to a peak of $0.2342 before succumbing to market pressure. The trading volume has not supported its upward movement as investors remain cautious despite the recovery signals that DOGE is flashing. Volume remains down by 41.83% at $2.43 billion despite the slight uptick in price.

However, the coin is likely to continue to climb as its Relative Strength Index at 44.47 signals recovery from its oversold conditions already. Dogecoin has a higher likelihood of upward momentum than declining, per the current market outlook.

If trading volume rises and the golden cross formation is confirmed, these could act as a catalyst for a more bullish rally for the meme coin.

Within this period, Bitcoin has also posted a 0.14% increase in price as it shows signs of recovery, too. If the flagship cryptocurrency breaks out, it is likely to also positively impact Dogecoin, as they are coupled.

Investors eye $0.30 as DOGE approaches September closeMarket participants will need to keep a close eye on Dogecoin’s volume and broader market developments. Although renowned crypto analyst Ali Martinez had predicted that the meme coin could soar to $0.50 under certain conditions, investors are hoping it could climb to $0.30.

In the last 30 days, the closest Dogecoin price rose to $0.2966 before it slipped downward again. The last time it traded above $0.30 was in January 2025.

Based on historical precedent, Dogecoin has an average growth rate of 12.3% in the month of September. Perhaps, the current golden cross could support the price of the asset to make a final bullish push before the month ends in another 72 hours.

The PEPE Coin price has returned to a crucial demand zone after a sharp decline, with charts outlining a decisive structure. Meanwhile, social sentiment has shown signs of growth, keeping attention fixed on the next possible breakout. These conditions frame the PEPE price outlook heading into October.

PEPE Coin Price Action From Key Demand Zone
The chart highlights a clear descending resistance trendline while support continues to hold within the $0.00000884 to $0.00000984 range. Notably, the last retest of this zone in May triggered a 105% rally that pushed the price above $0.00001800. 

The current PEPE Coin market price trades at $0.00000935, showing another touch of the same support level. Specifically, the setup now suggests that a breakout above the descending resistance could open the path toward the $0.00001500 level. This target reflects a projected gain of around 69% from current levels. 

Meanwhile, failure to hold above the support would shift focus back to $0.00000884 as a key lower boundary. However, repeated demand zone retests strengthen the potential for another rebound. The chart pattern clearly defines the next upside zone at $0.00001500, giving direction to a long-term PEPE Coin price prediction.

Social Dominance Rises as Outflows Support the Base
Social dominance jumped from 0.4489% to 0.685% in the last 24 hours, marking a noticeable pickup in crowd activity. This reflects stronger discussion volume at a point where price is testing crucial structure. 

Meanwhile, weekly netflows show consistent outflows, with a recent figure of $24.23M, signaling fewer tokens entering exchanges for sale, according to CoinGlass. Reduced inflows often reflect lower immediate sell pressure, reinforcing price stability around support. 

Together, the higher social dominance and exchange outflows align with the demand zone retest. 

Specifically, these metrics suggest that both sentiment and liquidity back the chance of a rebound. If conditions hold, the projected $0.00001500 level remains achievable in the short term. Altogether, the PEPE price outlook combines chart structure with sentiment cues favoring recovery.

Source: Santiment
To sum up the PEPE Coin price sits at a decisive area where historical rallies have begun. Key support remains at $0.00000884 while resistance lies near $0.00001500. With sentiment and outflows in sync, the probability of another surge remains high. If buyers hold the base, the path to the projected upside stays intact.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The chart shows a descending resistance trendline with repeated support retests, forming a demand zone structure.

Rising social dominance highlights increased community attention, which historically aligns with stronger price reactions at key zones.

Sustained outflows suggest fewer tokens are heading to exchanges for sale, which often reduces immediate sell pressure.

XRP climbed 2.3% to $2.78 today, notching a modest win in an otherwise cautious market. With a $166 billion market cap and a 24-hour trading volume of $5.24 billion, XRP has been ping-ponging between $2.71 and $2.81 like it's trying to decide if it's time to rally or retreat.

Ethereum’s exchange supply has dropped by more than 52% from its peak, reaching a nine-year low of about 14.8 million ETH. At the same time, a top analyst has predicted a growing liquidation risk near the $3,700 support level. This creates a mix of long-term bullish signals and short-term downside pressure.

Ethereum Exchange Balances Hit Nine-Year Low While $3,700 Becomes Critical Support
Data from Glassnode confirms that balances held on exchanges have fallen sharply from a peak of roughly 31 million ETH to just 14.8 million ETH today, marking a 52% drop. This is the lowest level since 2016 and suggests investors are moving their coins elsewhere.

This could be staking contracts, cold wallets and institutional custody. The launch of the first Ethereum staking ETF has also boosted demand for the coin. Hence, this makes sudden price swings more likely when demand or sell pressure rises.

In addition, crypto analyst Ted (@TedPillows) has highlighted growing liquidation risks around $3,700 to $3,800. He noted that this price zone could be tested again before Ethereum finds stability.

If ETH drops below $3,700, large amounts of leveraged positions may be wiped out, creating a wave of forced selling. This low supply and concentrated leverage have weakened Ethereum’s short-term outlook. Using Pillows analysis, the bulls need to defend the $3,700 to USD 3,800 to ensure there are no further losses.

According to current TradingView data, ETH price is at $4,011, up nearly 0.15% in the past 24 hours but down more than 12% over the past week. The price briefly dipped below $3,980 earlier in the session before recovering. However, it remains under its recent close of $4,034.

Whales Accumulate $1.73B in ETH as Institutions Buy the Dip
The supply drop and liquidation risk create a double-edged scenario. On one hand, record low balances show conviction among holders. It also proves Ethereum’s growing role in decentralized finance and institutional portfolios.

Meanwhile, 16 wallets bought 431,018 ETH from September 25 to 27 for a total of $1.73 billion, as Lookonchain data shows. Similar Ethereum whale activity was seen earlier, when $204 million worth of the token was accumulated.

These inflows poured in from Kraken, Galaxy Digital, BitGo, FalconX and OKX. Also, they highlight how deep-pocketed buyers are positioning during the current market pullback. The scale of these transactions shows that retail sentiment may be cautious. However, institutional and whale demand for ETH remains strong.

A technology upgrade could pave the way for it to have a real investment thesis for the first time.

Sometimes old dog meme coins can learn new tricks, and for Dogecoin, (DOGE 3.04%) that process may finally be underway. After years of little in the way of protocol changes, the coin's developers are now circulating a few proposals that could expand Dogecoin's capabilities in ways that actually matter.

Two ideas are on the table right now. If either gets developed and sees use, Dogecoin's appeal might widen beyond memes and momentum. Here's what's being considered and how it could change things.

Image source: Getty Images.

This would be quite the new trick
Presently, Dogecoin does not natively support smart contracts, which is why decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and complex decentralized apps (dApps) never had a chance to grow on its base layer.

What's new is a concrete proposal to add a feature to the coin's protocol that would let Dogecoin nodes verify a type of cryptographic proof called zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs as part of a transaction. That would enable Dogecoin to host Layer-2 (L2) chains for faster and more efficient transactions, and also provide virtual machines that execute off-chain. This means it would create a separate but closely linked system for quickly running certain complex calculations.

But why should investors care?

Because this route could bring Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible smart contract execution to Dogecoin, thereby enabling Ethereum's huge corps of developers to easily create applications for the chain if they choose to do so. In other words, this is the shortest bridge between Dogecoin's powerful brand and the programmable crypto economy, the area where most of the value lies.

This proposal lives in Dogecoin Core's developer forum. If it's agreed on, it would still need to be implemented, and it's unclear how much time a major addition like this one would take. Plus, there is still community debate about the complexity of the proposal and also its scope.

So don't hold your breath waiting for this new feature because it might not ever come to fruition, even if it would be enormous for the coin's odds of gaining value over time.

There's a potential revenue flywheel here
The second idea that investors need to know is more subtle, but potentially even more powerful for holders.

If Dogecoin can verify cryptographic proofs on-chain as the proposal calls for, submitting those transactions will require network fees, which are paid in Dogecoin's native coin, DOGE. So each proof-verified action on the L2 chain would create more marginal demand for the coin than transactions on the main chain currently do.

Today, fee revenue on Dogecoin is modest, a byproduct of transfers; so far in Q3 2025, it generated just $281,557 in fees. Fees are paid to miners, and no portion of the fees are burned, taking coins out of circulation. If proof verification becomes a new transaction class, a flywheel could potentially form, with more useful apps, more proofs, more fees, more miner incentives, and more reasons for users and platforms to hold some DOGE to interact with the network. And there's some early evidence that the team behind the proposal is building with those goals in mind.

As positive as these proposals could be, investors should keep three caveats front and center. First, as stated before, proposals are not products, and Dogecoin's culture is conservative about base-layer changes. Don't expect anything to move forward without the developer community spending at least a bit more time deliberating publicly.

Second, the coin's supply is expansionary by design. Roughly 5 billion new coins are issued each year, so any utility that it develops needs to create economics that grow faster than that to meaningfully move the value needle over time.

Finally, there still isn't an investment thesis for buying this coin yet. While that could change in the future, given what's being considered, you should wait for some strong evidence of actual progress before even considering whether it would be smart to make a small investment.

Bitcoin’s rally is showing signs of fatigue after a sharp sell-off pushed prices under $109,000. Long-term holders have realized billions in profits while exchange-traded fund inflows slow, raising concerns that the market may be entering a cooling phase similar to past cycle tops.

In brief

Bitcoin drops to $108,700, breaking key support levels as long-term holders take profits.
Glassnode reports 3.4M BTC in realized profits, mirroring patterns seen at previous cycle tops.
Short-term holders under stress as SOPR nears 1 and NUPL approaches zero, raising risk of liquidations.
Analysts warn BTC must reclaim $115K to restore bullish momentum as sentiment stays in fear zone.

Profit-Taking Signals Cycle Exhaustion For Bitcoin
Bitcoin dropped to $108,700 on Coinbase late Thursday, its lowest in three weeks, slipping past key support around $112,000. Even though the asset has yet to retest $107,500, the low from September 1, momentum remains weak. 

According to Glassnode, long-term holders have realized 3.4 million Bitcoin in profit—levels consistent with previous market peaks. Profit-taking exceeded 90% of coins moved three times this cycle, a pattern that has historically marked cycle tops. 

Analysts caution that this level of realized gains points to market exhaustion after the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut failed to boost sustained demand. More so, Markus Thielen, head of research at 10x Research, warned that prices hovering near this zone could trigger another wave of stop-loss selling.

Short-Term Holders Face Rising Pressure
Indicators suggest growing stress among short-term market participants. Glassnode data shows the Spent Output Profit Ratio (SOPR) at 1.01, meaning some investors are already selling at a loss. 

Historically, this ratio can mark key turning points, as dips below 1 during bull markets often signal seller exhaustion and rebounds. At the same time, rejections around 1 in bearish conditions can lead to further downside.

Meanwhile, the Short-Term Holder Net Unrealized Profit/Loss (NUPL) is nearing zero. Thielen noted this raises the risk of liquidations as newer investors move quickly to cut losses. Without renewed demand from institutions and retail buyers, Glassnode said the chance of a deeper correction remains high.

Outlook: Neutral to Cautious
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $109,178, down over 5% in the last seven days.

Other notable market data include:

Bitcoin sentiment stays bearish, with the Fear & Greed Index holding at 33.
Over the past year, the asset has surged 67%, showing strong upside momentum.
BTC outperformed 87% of the top 100 coins
Still, the coin was outpaced by Ethereum during the same period.
It trades above the 200-day simple moving average—signaling a positive long-term signal.
In the last month, the asset posted 16 green days.

For now, some analysts remain cautious about the OG coin’s future trajectory. Thielen suggested that Bitcoin would need to reclaim $115,000 to restore a convincing bullish case. Glassnode echoed that the current structure resembles “exhaustion” and favors a cooling phase.

Still, not all sentiment is bearish. MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor voiced optimism earlier this week. He predicted Bitcoin could strengthen in the fourth quarter as macroeconomic pressures ease.

XRP Surges 390% in Thailand Amid Regulatory Support and Strategic Bank AlliancesAccording to RippleXity, a decentralized news platform built on the XRP Ledger, XRP has recorded an extraordinary 390% growth in Thailand, signaling the cryptocurrency’s rising adoption in Southeast Asia. 

Market analysts attribute this surge to a combination of favorable regulatory frameworks and strategic partnerships with key local banks, which have collectively enhanced investor confidence and mainstream accessibility.

Thailand’s regulatory environment has been notably supportive of digital assets, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Bank of Thailand providing clear guidelines for cryptocurrency operations. 

This transparency has encouraged both retail and institutional investors to participate in the market, reducing uncertainty and creating a more stable investment landscape. XRP, in particular, has benefited from these policies due to its strong utility in cross-border payments and financial settlements, aligning seamlessly with Thailand’s ambitions to modernize its banking infrastructure.

Equally significant are XRP’s strategic alliances with leading Thai banks. By integrating XRP into their payment and remittance systems, these institutions are able to offer faster, cheaper, and more secure transactions for both domestic and international transfers.

This explains why XRP continues to be the crypto king on Thai soil with Asia increasingly becoming a hub for cryptocurrency adoption.

Therefore, RippleXity highlights that XRP’s 390% surge underscores Thailand’s rise as a blockchain adoption hub, driven by strategic regulations and key industry partnerships.

XRP on the Verge of a Major Move as Pressure BuildsMarket analyst Leandrocrypto has highlighted a critical juncture for XRP, noting that the cryptocurrency is approaching a decisive breakout point.

 Based on the weekly chart analysis, XRP is currently under significant pressure, squeezed between persistent selling above and a strong support level at $2.70.

Support at $2.70 has held strongly, showing buyers defending this key level. If sustained, it could spark a bullish reversal, but a break below may trigger a deeper pullback and short-term market pressure.

On the other hand, XRP has been forming lower highs, signaling capped upward momentum. This compression against strong support creates a 'squeeze,' often a precursor to a sharp, volatile breakout as sidelined traders rush in.

Source: LeandrocryptoAs a result, Leandrocrypto warns the XRP market is at a critical juncture. A breakout could spark a rally toward multi-week highs, while a breach of $2.70 support risks a sharp retracement. Traders are closely watching for the next move with price presently at $2.78.

ConclusionXRP’s 390% surge in Thailand showcases how favorable regulations, strategic banking partnerships, and real-world blockchain use can drive adoption, spotlighting Thailand as a model for transforming cross-border payments and financial infrastructure.

On the other hand, XRP finds itself at a crossroads with the level to watch being $2.70 because breaking above or below it could trigger the next major rally or correction. With pressure mounting and momentum tightening, a pivotal breakout is imminent.

SOL price may have slipped this week, but the broader narrative continues to strengthen. With new ETF filings, rising institutional inflows, and technical charts suggesting a bullish setup, Solana crypto remains a focal point for both traders and long-term investors eyeing the next major rally.

SOL Price Today and ETF InflowsDespite short-term weakness, SOL price today is supported by consistent demand from ETF investors. The first U.S. Solana staking ETF, SSK by REXShares, has recorded two straight days of strong inflows $16.2 million yesterday and another $10.6 million today. 

This extends a two-week streak, signaling growing institutional appetite even as SOL price USD trades lower.

It appears that the Momentum for Solana ETFs is accelerating. Canary Capital has filed an S-1 for a Solana ETF that not only holds but also stakes $SOL, making it the first U.S. ETF to explicitly offer on-chain yield. 

In parallel, VanEck has submitted a revised S-1 for its Spot SOL ETF. Together, these filings mark a turning point for institutional access to Solana crypto. 

If approvals mirror the trajectory of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, SOL ETFs could quickly become major vehicles for investment by year’s end.

Solana Price Chart and Technical SetupOn the technical front, this week’s decline may appear bearish to short-term traders. However, the Solana price chart on the weekly timeframe reveals a different story. 

The pattern reflects the final phase of Wyckoff accumulation, often a precursor to strong rallies. From a longer-term perspective, this dip could represent the last major buying opportunity before Q4 strength takes hold.

$SOL is in the final phase of its Wyckoff accumulation.

This is probably the last big dip before a big rally in Q4.

I think anyone buying SOL at these levels will be happy in 2-3 months.

$500 SOL is programmed this cycle. pic.twitter.com/Glx53oY5WV

— ZYN (@Zynweb3) September 26, 2025 Looking at the broader market cycle, the SOL price forecast appears constructive. Some traders believe Solana crypto is entering the final stage before a significant breakout. 

A target of $500 SOL has been projected for this cycle, reflecting the view that the combination of ETF inflows, on-chain yield opportunities, and market structure could fuel substantial upside.

Investors who position now may find themselves rewarded in the next two to three months as sentiment shifts. Despite the long-term optimism, the short-term decline cannot be ignored, which suggests caution to keep and avoid FOMO.

The next few weeks heading into October could be significant for XRP and the rest of the cryptocurrency market amid expectations of a potential spot ETF launch for XRP in the U.S. with six applications in the spotlight.

According to Nate Geraci, the president of NovaDius Wealth Management, October might be crucial to watch given the recent developments in the last two weeks, including the first ETF offering spot XRP exposure, the SEC approving generic listing standards, the first index-based spot crypto ETF and Vanguard's U-turn on crypto ETFs. "Get ready for October," Geraci said.

In the past week, the first ETF offering exposure to spot XRP in the U.S., REX-Osprey XRP ETF, XRPR, was launched. Options trading was later added to XRPR ETF this week.

HOT Stories

This week, Hashdex Nasdaq Crypto Index U.S. ETF was "approved" under SEC’s new generic listing standards, which might include other crypto assets apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, such as XRP.

What to expect in October?Between Oct. 18 and 25, the SEC is set to rule on six major spot XRP ETF applications. These include Grayscale XRP ETF (Oct. 18), 21Shares core XRP Trust ETF (Oct. 19), Bitwise XRP ETF (Oct. 22), Canary Capital XRP ETF (Oct. 23), WisdomTree XRP ETF (Oct. 24) and CoinShares XRP ETF (Oct. 23).

The XRP community remains optimistic, expecting XRP ETFs to attract large institutional inflows to XRP. This is not far fetched as CME Group's XRP futures topped $1 billion in open interest (the fastest growth of any crypto derivatives contract), highlighting institutional demand.

CME Group has announced the upcoming launch of options on XRP and Micro XRP futures scheduled for Oct. 13.

XRP had a decent Friday, gaining about 1.5% to close at $2.79 after getting hammered the day before.

Ethereum has reclaimed its position as the largest blockchain for USDT deployment by surpassing Tron in supply. USDT supply on the ETH blockchain has grown by around $17 billion since May to $77 billion. 

The shift represents a reversal from earlier in May, when Tron temporarily held the lead with 48% supply compared to Ethereum’s 42%. The two blockchain networks have remained close competitors throughout the year, with between $75 billion and $80 billion supply levels. According to DeFiLlama data, Tron’s supply stands at $76.23 billion at the time of publication. 

Institutional adoption fuels ETH dominance as the preferred network for USDT
Retail traders have largely favored Tron for its low fees against Ethereum’s institutional-grade infrastructure with higher transfer fees. Despite that, ETH has maintained deep liquidity and an extensive DeFi ecosystem reach. Other notable chains include the BSC chain, which holds 7.48% of the USDT supply, and Plasma (XPL), with a supply of $4.37 billion. Solana has remained low, capturing only $2.1 billion of the USDT supply, according to data on DeFiLlama.

— Token Terminal @ TOKEN2049 🇸🇬 (@tokenterminal) September 26, 2025

Ethereum’s daily USDT transactions average around 400K, while overall network transactions surpassed 1.64 million today. This shows its active use in payments and settlements across the DeFi ecosystem. Tron, however, still dominates in terms of daily transactions. 

Institutional adoption of Ethereum has fueled the reversal, with companies like PayPal integrating PYUSD stablecoin into Ethereum, currently leading with $1.75 billion in supply. The scale of USDT volumes on Ethereum influences cross-chain bridge activity, liquidity provision, and exchange integration. Ethereum’s ability to capture institutional stablecoin flows positions it as the primary settlement layer for institutional financial applications as TradFi adopts blockchain-based payments.

Tether remains the global leader in the stablecoin market with a market cap of $174 billion. Circle’s USDC follows in the second position with $74 billion. The two tokens dominate the stablecoin market, although they have different strategies. 

GENIUS Act pushes broader stablecoin competition
Tether first launched in 2014 as RealCoin before changing that name later. It gained market traction quickly after becoming the preferred tool for moving money between different cryptocurrencies, mainly due to its speed of settlements and lower fees. It has also faced controversies, including regulatory fines and concerns over its reserves. The token has now grown to be offered on over 90 networks.

Circle’s USDC, launched in 2018, is focused on compliance and transparency. It publishes monthly attestations while maintaining a close partnership with American financial institutions. Circle went public in June, listing on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and raising over $1 billion on its IPO. The firm has positioned itself as the regulated alternative to Tether.

The U.S. regulatory framework has boosted the growth in stablecoin competition. The GENIUS Act, signed into law by President Trump in July, established a comprehensive standard for stablecoins to meet. Cryptopolitan covered the story, highlighting that the act requires stablecoin firms to disclose monthly public reserves, third-party attestations, and strict limitations on asset composition. Circle was already largely compliant with these requirements. Tether has, however, is launching another U.S.-compliant token, USAT, while issuing USDT for the global market. 

Tether has managed to maintain strong financial results, with billions in quarterly profits generated mainly from its holdings of U.S. Treasuries. The firm has established itself as one of the largest holders of U.S. debt, with more than $24 billion invested in short-term Treasury bills since July. Circle’s USDC, however, is lagging mainly due to its revenue-sharing model with partners, despite gaining institutional trust due to its transparency and regulatory compliance.

Bulls are dominating over bears on the first day of the weekend, according to CoinStats.

Top coins by CoinStatsBTC/USDUnlike other coins, the price of Bitcoin (BTC) has declined by 0.11% over the last 24 hours.

Image by TradingViewOn the hourly chart, the rate of BTC has made a false breakout of the local support of $109,255. However, if a bounce back does not happen, the fall is likely to continue to the $109,000 area by tomorrow.

Image by TradingViewOn the bigger time frame, the situation is less clear. The price of the main crypto is within yesterday's bar, which means neither side is dominating.

Virtuals Protocol Ends Genesis, Teases New Launch ModelVirtuals Protocol has officially announced that its Genesis program is coming to an end, marking a significant turning point for the project. In a statement on X, the team explained that what began as an experiment in fair launch and open participation proved powerful in its early phase but ultimately cannot scale to the next stage of growth.

The team emphasized that after listening to builders, “Virgens,” and analyzing data, the clear path forward is to sunset Genesis and introduce a new launch model. According to the announcement, this new framework will be built for scale, designed for the next wave of agents, and intended to last long term.

Key details include:

Virgen Points will provide an initial advantage in the transition and will be phased out within the next four weeks.veVIRTUAL holders ($VIRTUAL stakers) will continue to receive strong, ongoing benefits as the new model unfolds.Additional details will be revealed soon, with the team urging the community to "get ready" for what’s coming. This marks a major strategic shift for Virtuals Protocol, aimed at creating sustainable growth beyond its original launch model.

Chart Analysis: $1 Support Key for $VIRTUALLooking at the daily chart of $VIRTUAL/USD, the token is currently hovering around the $1.03 level, sitting directly above the critical $1 psychological and technical support zone.

Virtuals/USD 1-day chart - TradingView

Technical BreakdownDescending Resistance: The chart shows a clear downtrend line (red) stretching back to early summer, continuously rejecting price attempts to break higher. This trendline remains a major barrier to upside momentum.Moving Averages: The 50-day SMA ($1.21) and 200-day SMA ($1.33) are both trending above current price, reinforcing a bearish bias until a breakout occurs.Support Zone: The yellow horizontal support at $1.00 has held multiple times since spring, making it the most important level on the chart. A confirmed break below would likely accelerate downside toward $0.80–0.70.RSI: The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently around 38, leaning toward oversold conditions but not fully there yet, suggesting some room for further pressure before a bounce.

Virtuals Price Prediction: Trader’s ViewFrom a professional trading standpoint:

Bullish Case: If the broader crypto market stabilizes and Bitcoin stops dumping, $VIRTUAL at $1.00 is a strong entry point. The risk-to-reward is attractive here, with upside potential back to $1.20–$1.35 (SMA retests) and eventually $1.60 if the downtrend line breaks.Bearish Case: If Bitcoin continues to sell off, a break below $1 could trigger a steep drop toward $0.80 or lower. Traders should watch volume closely for signs of capitulation or reversal.Is Virtuals Coin a Good Buy?Virtuals Protocol’s decision to end Genesis signals a bold pivot toward a more scalable and durable launch framework, with veVIRTUAL holders standing to benefit from the transition.

On the technical side, $1 is a make-or-break level for $VIRTUAL. If the crypto market finds stability, this zone could represent one of the best risk-adjusted entry points in months. But a breakdown below would open the door to deeper losses.

Ethereum may be trading below the $4,200 mark for now, but optimism around its long-term potential remains strong. 

BitMine Technologies chairman Tom Lee has doubled down on his bullish stance, predicting that Ethereum could triple in value by the end of 2025, reaching between $12,000 and $15,000.

Despite recent price struggles, Lee believes that Ethereum is poised to surpass its previous all-time highs and enter what he calls “real price discovery” in the $12,000 to $15,000 range. 

HOT Stories

According to Lee, this projected 200% rally will be driven by new technological trends. He highlighted the growing role of agentic AI and robotics, arguing that these innovations will create a massive demand for tokenized economies, much of which will likely take place on Ethereum’s network.

Ethereum ETFs show signs of weaknessWhile Lee’s long-term forecast is extremely bullish, short-term market signals have been mixed. This week, Ethereum spot ETFs reported a net outflow of $248 million, according to data from SoSoValue. 

The Grayscale Ethereum Trust ETF (ETHE) led with the largest single-day net inflow of $17.91 million, followed by 21Shares Ethereum ETF (TETH), which saw $8.05 million in inflows. 

However, ETHE’s historical net outflow remains steep at $4.57 billion, underscoring that investor sentiment is still cautious despite the recent rally.

Ethereum price predictionEthereum is currently trading above $4,000, and technical indicators suggest that a major move could be coming. 

Source: CoinMarketCapThe daily chart shows that ETH has been rising steadily since mid-summer, supported by the upward-sloping 20-day and 50-day EMAs. This alignment signals that the prevailing trend remains strong.

As reported by U.Today, the price compression within a large triangle pattern also suggests that the market is coiling ahead of a breakout. A decisive move above resistance could set Ethereum on a path toward the $5,000 mark, which remains the key near-term target for bulls.

Source: U.Today/TradingViewHowever, shorter-term charts point to caution. On the hourly timeframe, ETH is trading near local support at $3,983. If bulls fail to regain control, a drop toward $3,950 is possible, with sideways action in the $3,900–$4,100 range being the more likely short-term scenario before any major breakout.

Shiba Inu price faces a crucial crossroads as technical and fundamental signals converge. Despite a minor price recovery of +1.32% over the last 24 hours to $0.00001181, SHIB is down 8.27% on the week. It also recently hit its lowest level since early August 2025. The coin's market cap sits at $6.

Trump-backed WLFI has burned $1.43 million in tokens after a $1.06 million buyback funded by DeFi fees, with another 3.06 million tokens remain unburned.

World Liberty Financial (WLFI), the President Donald Trump-affiliated decentralized finance project, has burned 7.89 million WLFI tokens, worth approximately $1.43 million, following a $1.06 million buyback across different chains.

Onchain data gathered by Lookonchain shows the project collected 4.91 million WLFI ($1.01 million) and $1.06 million in fees and liquidity earnings from its DeFi activities, and spent $1.06 million to repurchase 6.04 million WLFI on the open market.

The team later burned 7.89 million WLFI on BNB Smart Chain (BNB) and Ethereum (ETH), while 3.06 million WLFI ($638,000) remains unburned on Solana (SOL) pending further actions.

The move follows a 33% drop in WLFI’s price over the past month. As of Saturday, WLFI is trading at $0.2049, up by more than 6% over the past day, according to CoinGecko. The token is still down more than 38% from its all-time high.

WLFI buyback and burn. Source: LookonchainWLFI’s burn plan gains approvalThe token-burning strategy stems from a governance vote passed earlier this month, in which 99% of WLFI holders approved the proposal. Under the plan, fees generated from WLFI-managed liquidity pools are to be used for token repurchases, which are then permanently removed from circulation via burns.

According to the WLFI team, this mechanism aims to reduce total supply and alleviate selling pressure. The project clarified that only fees from WLFI-controlled liquidity are included in this process. Community and third-party liquidity pools are excluded.

Some onchain sleuths have speculated the program could burn 4 million WLFI daily, nearly 2% of supply annually. However, exact burn figures remain unclear.

Trump Family’s WLFI holdings worth $5 billionAs Cointelegraph reported, an entity linked to former US President Donald Trump and his family controls approximately $5 billion worth of WLFI following a scheduled unlock of 24.6 billion tokens earlier this month.

The firm’s website lists DT Marks DEFI LLC and Trump family members, including Donald Jr., Barron, and Eric, as initial holders of 22.5 billion WLFI, with the price briefly spiking to $0.40 before retreating to around $0.21.

Magazine: Bitcoin mining industry ‘going to be dead in 2 years’ — Bit Digital CEO

The founder of Black Swan Capitalist believes that XRP, which spent years fighting the US Securities and Exchange Commission in court, could play a pivotal role in solving the global debt crisis by restructuring the financial system.

Only XRP Can Unlock Debt Liquidity?
Black Swan Capitalist founder Versan Aljarrah took to the X social media platform to suggest that global debt cannot be repaid under current conditions and must first be restructured.

The real solution, in his opinion, involves converting trillions into tokenized liquidity running on neutral assets such as Ripple-affiliated XRP, tokenized gold, and regulated stablecoins.

Global debt can't be paid back. It has to be restructured.

The real play is converting trillions into tokenized liquidity running on neutral assets like XRP, tokenized gold, and regulated stablecoins.

— Black Swan Capitalist (@VersanAljarrah) September 25, 2025

“Trillions in debt will be tokenized,” he asserted in a different post. “But only XRP can unlock the liquidity trapped inside.” 

Aljarrah’s remarks come as large swaths of institutions increasingly experiment with the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) on blockchain rails in the new era of programmable finance. Tokenization of RWAs is the process of converting ownership or rights to physical assets into digital tokens on a blockchain or distributed ledger.

This strategy leverages blockchain technology to convert tangible assets such as real estate, artwork, stocks, or commodities into digital tokens that can be conveniently bought, sold, and traded on-chain.

These talks of XRP unlocking debt liquidity follow a report from the International Monetary Fund revealing that global debt currently stands at around $250 trillion (or 235% of GDP). An increase in public borrowing to nearly $100 trillion last year helped offset reductions in private sector debt.

These figures underscore how tokenized liquidity could prove key in easing the overwhelming debt burden.

Ripple is gaining traction in the burgeoning tokenization sector. DBS, Franklin Templeton, and Ripple have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on offering trading and lending solutions that leverage tokenized money market funds on the XRP Ledger blockchain and Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD.

Moreover, the $740.4 million RLUSD stablecoin was recently integrated into a new smart contract on Securitize’s platform as an off-ramp option for BlackRock and VanEck’s tokenized money-market funds.

Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has issued yet another bold Bitcoin prediction. "Can Bitcoin get to 200,000? Of course it could," he said.

Novogratz believes the current crypto cycle could play out differently than previous ones, citing unprecedented institutional interest and the rise of tokenized finance.

Speaking on Kyle Chasse’s podcast, Novogratz reflected on the scale of recent Bitcoin activity handled by Galaxy, noting, "When we sold $9 billion of Bitcoin for a customer, I thought to myself, where would Bitcoin be if I hadn't sold that $9 billion? A lot higher. That's the scale we're talking about."

HOT Stories

Does Bitcoin cycle still work?Novogratz warned that market frenzies often peak in ways that exceed expectations. “"he last leg of stock market frenzies always gets crazier than you can imagine. At the end of the day, price is more than just numbers on a chart — it’s about narrative, community, and belief," he said.

Historically, crypto markets have moved in four-year cycles, often culminating in euphoric peaks followed by sharp corrections. 

"Normally, this would be the time we should be selling it all and going away,” Novogratz said, referencing the pattern seen in 2017 and 2021. “And the most dangerous words in investing are, ‘It could be different this time.’ But — it’s going to be different this time."

How could crypto transform the world?Novogratz argued that the difference now lies in institutional adoption and infrastructure development. “What we’re seeing at Galaxy is every bank and institution realizing, ‘We need some form of hot and cold wallets because we’re going to trade currencies in token and equities in token.’ Custodians are going to be important,” he explained.

He revealed that Galaxy recently tokenized its own stock on Superstate, which runs on Solana. While early trading volumes have been modest, Novogratz expects that tokenized equities will eventually trade on decentralized exchanges — a development he believes will be transformative.

“Larry Fink was important for the price of Bitcoin and credentializing the space,” Novogratz said. “But for crypto to really transform the world, you need this amalgamation of trade and DeFi — and it’s going to happen.”

Key NotesBybit has listed RLUSD on its platform, with multiple trading pairs.This stablecoin listing development further bridges the gap between TradFi and DeFi.Bybit has now joined the likes of Bullish, Kraken, Bitstamp, Margex, and Gemini, which already list the stablecoin.
Cryptocurrency exchange Bybit has expressed its support for Ripple’s USD-backed stablecoin by listing the asset. This move is significant, as it further serves as a bridge between Traditional Finance (TradFi) systems and the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem. Moreover, it is a further expansion of RLUSD’s market reach and, indirectly, its use cases.

Multiple Trading Pairs Available on Bybit
Bybit is the latest cryptocurrency exchange to list RLUSD, marking an expansion of the coin’s availability to traders and institutional investors across multiple jurisdictions. The exchange is presenting potential users with direct access to a digital asset that offers seamless transitions between regulated tokenized funds that bear yields and liquid crypto assets.

This exchange’s reputation as one of the biggest players in the industry makes the new development a major achievement for the stablecoin and even for Ripple. Backed by the USD, RLUSD runs on Ethereum (ETH) and the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Now, Bybit will support both deposits and withdrawals of this stablecoin on these blockchains.

As part of this feat, multiple trading pairs, including RLUSD/USDT, RLUSD/ETH, RLUSD/BTC, RLUSD/MNT, and RLUSD/XRP, are now available on the Bybit platform. However, it is worth noting that their availability is highly dependent on regulatory restrictions across jurisdictions.

Major Listings and Support
Significantly, RLUSD has grown in such a short time since its launch (since December 2024). According to CoinMarketCap data, this stablecoin ranks as the 90th largest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of $789.45 million. Its popularity spans across platforms like Bullish, Kraken, Bitstamp, and even the Winklevoss twin brothers’ Gemini.

US-based Gemini listed RLUSD in May 2025, causing the trading volume of the stablecoin to surge significantly at the time. Notably, the crypto trading platform Margex was one of the first exchanges to show its support for as soon as it was launched last year.

On January 29, the high-leverage exchange confirmed that it will now be available as collateral for trading various crypto pairs. The broader crypto market is expecting top exchanges like Binance and Coinbase to list RLUSD. Bybit’s listing may eventually propel it to show support in the near future.
