SOL Funding Negative Yet Price Has No Traction

admin

Key takeaways: SOL recovered above $200, but weak onchain activity and rising competition limit the odds of a sustainable rally. Traders show little bearish conviction, yet stagnant network growth and shifting market share keep SOL’s upside capped. Solana’s native token SOL (SOL) climbed back above $200 on Tuesday, recovering from Friday’s flash crash that pushed prices down to $167. Still, the record $1.73 billion in long liquidations left a lasting mark on SOL’s derivatives market, prompting traders to question whether the bullish momentum has faded and if the token can…

Ethereum tests Fusaka upgrade on Sepolia

admin

Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade has been activated on the Sepolia testnet, marking the next major step in the network’s ongoing push to improve scalability and performance. The upgrade marks the second phase of a three-step rollout under Ethereum’s Fusaka roadmap, following the Holesky testnet activation on Oct. 1. The Sepolia deployment focuses on stress testing the network’s new data-availability system and higher block gas limit before developers push the code to the final Hoodi testnet later this month. Fusaka’s rollout is introducing a suite of performance and consensus improvements. The full…

How Low Can Bitcoin Price Go If $110K BTC Support Fails?

admin

Key takeaways: Bitcoin risks a correction toward $96,500–$100,000 if the $110,000 support fails. Onchain and technical patterns suggest a healthy mid-cycle reset, not a full trend reversal. Bitcoin’s (BTC) rebound after a major weekend plunge showed signs of fading on Tuesday. The top crypto dipped 4.65% to around $110,000, mirroring a global equity slump after China imposed restrictions on five US firms linked to South Korea’s largest shipbuilder, warning of further retaliation.

US Government Moves to Dismiss Roger Ver’s Tax Case with $50M Deal

admin

A California federal court is closer to dismissing the criminal indictment against Bitcoin advocate Roger Ver, known to many as “Bitcoin Jesus.” In a Tuesday filing in the US District Court for the Central District of California, the US government filed a proposed order for Judge Michael Fitzgerald to dismiss Ver’s indictment without prejudice. The government said it reached an agreement with Ver to pay $49.9 million and “all tax, penalties, and interest” on tax liabilities with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for his Bitcoin (BTC) holdings.

The Oracle Problem Isn’t Just Technical; It’s Political

admin

Opinion by: Will Fey, Co-Founder and Smart Contract Developer at Ammalgam We talk about oracles like they’re plumbing: an invisible utility that keeps prices flowing into protocols. Oracles are not neutral infrastructure. They’re dependencies. Over time, they’ve become political ones. DeFi is built on a promise: permissionless markets, composable systems and minimized trust.  In 2025, however, most major lending and trading protocols route their most sensitive functions — liquidations, collateral checks, pricing decisions — through a single oracle network.  This isn’t decentralization. It’s risky by design. The problem isn’t new,…

How CZ’s Memecoin Mention Sparked a 650x Flip

admin

Key takeaways:  CZ’s mention turned meme token “4” into a trade; one early buyer saw $3,000 grow to $2 million. The trigger was the hack of BNB Chain’s X account, which spawned “4.” The surge came from flow hitting thin liquidity, not fundamentals. Some wallets had already bought moments before CZ’s post. On Oct. 1, 2025, BNB Chain’s official X account was hijacked and used to push phishing links. Within hours, the drama spun into a joke token on BNB Chain called “4,” a playful nod to reports that the…

Crypto Framework on Hold Amid Partisan Gridlock

admin

Senate Democrats submitted a counterproposal to the crypto framework bill last week. Industry advocates are concerned that this will stall progress on the legal clarity for the blockchain industry. The proposal, which has not yet been released publicly, would reportedly impose a number of rules for decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols. Among these is a supposed “restricted list” for DeFi protocols deemed too risky. Industry commenters are concerned that the measures are made in bad faith. Digital Chamber vice president of policy and government affairs Zunera Mazhar said that the law…

From $10 to $10,000: Dollar-Cost Averaging in Crypto

admin

Key takeaways  DCA is a trading strategy that uses automated, small, regular buys to stay invested without trying to time every move. There’s a clear precedent for scalability: El Salvador has been publicly DCA’ing 1 BTC per day since Nov. 17, 2022. However, lump-sum investing often wins in uptrends — historically outperforming DCA about two-thirds of the time. It works best for investors who earn regularly in fiat and prefer a steady, rule-based approach over impulsive trading. What is DCA?  Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is the practice of buying a fixed…

BTC–Gold Correlation Hits New High as Both Assets Draw Investors

admin

Bitcoin’s correlation with gold is increasing as both assets strengthen their reputations as hedges against macroeconomic uncertainty, according to CryptoQuant CEO Ki Young Ju. In a Tuesday post on X, Ju noted that the BTC–gold correlation has risen sharply alongside gold’s surge to new all-time highs. “Gold keeps hitting new ATHs. BTC–gold correlation is high; digital gold narrative still alive. Inflation hedge demand isn’t dead yet,” he wrote. According to data from CryptoQuant, the BTC-gold correlation currently stands above 0.85, up from -0.8 in October 2021. The correlation previously reached…
