The post EU Crypto Rules Spark Backlash Over Fast-Track Licenses appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

As Europe rolls out its new MiCA rules, major crypto companies are lining up to get licensed and operate across the EU. But some regulators are worried that things are moving too fast.

According to Reuters, Gemini, the crypto platform founded by billionaire twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, is about to receive a license in Malta, the EU’s smallest country. This would give them the green light to operate across all 27 member states. 

This comes shortly after Malta approved licenses for OKX and Crypto.com, just weeks after MiCA came into effect. 

Malta’s Fast-Track Approvals Face Scrutiny

Malta’s fast approvals are raising eyebrows among EU regulators, especially under the watch of the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA). France’s AMF has warned that weak oversight could lead to a “race to the bottom.” One official even raised concerns over whether countries with smaller regulatory teams, like Malta, can provide adequate oversight. 

ESMA is now reviewing Malta’s process and is expected to release a report soon. 

In response, Malta’s regulator said that it has issued four licenses so far, and credited its speed to its past experience and the “in-depth understanding acquired over the years.” Malta’s regulator said it follows strict anti-money laundering rules. OKX also called the process rigorous and said that compliance is a top priority.

Coinbase Eyes Luxembourg License

Elsewhere, Luxembourg is soon expected to approve a license for Coinbase, the first U.S. crypto firm in the S&P 500. While its team there may be small, Coinbase has 200 staff in Europe, and it plans to hire 20 more in Luxembourg by the end of the year.

Luxembourg pushed back on claims that it is being too lenient on crypto. It suggested that other countries might just be trying to win over crypto firms. Notably, Coinbase’s move is seen as a setback for Ireland, whose central bank once compared crypto to a Ponzi scheme.

EU Split on MiCA Enforcement

At the centre of the issue is keeping the multi-trillion-dollar crypto market in check. MiCA is designed to bring crypto under the same regulatory standards as traditional finance, but if countries apply the rules differently, it could weaken MiCA’s overall impact.

Countries are still divided in the EU over how to enforce crypto rules. There are ongoing talks about giving more power to ESMA. ESMA’s chief Verena Ross wants stronger oversight, but some countries are hesitant to increase their authority. 

How these early licenses are handled will likely set the tone for how the EU balances crypto growth and investor protection going forward.

The post Trump Quietly Earned $57M from Family-Backed Crypto, New Filing Shows appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Office of Government Ethics has released Donald Trump’s 2025 financial disclosure, a massive 234-page report. It reveals that Trump earned over $57 million from World Liberty Financial, a crypto firm linked to his family, and holds a huge amount of WLFI tokens. 

The report also lists several other sources of income, showing just how much Trump is profiting across various ventures. Here’s a breakdown of the key earnings.

Trump’s Stronghold In Crypto

The disclosure, made public by the Office of Government Ethics, revealed that Trump earned $57.35 million from selling tokens linked to his family’s crypto firm, World Liberty Financial.

He also holds 15.75 billion governance tokens, making this one of his biggest income sources so far.

Apart from this, last week Forbes reported that Donald Trump’s net worth has climbed to $5.6 billion. Interestingly, nearly half of his liquid assets are now tied to crypto. In less than a year, Trump has made over $1.2 billion from crypto-related ventures alone.

— Forbes (@Forbes) June 6, 2025

Interestingly, Trump’s involvement here shows a change in attitude. He was once critical of digital currencies, but now seems to be embracing them, especially when the profits are this high.

Big Profits Beyond Crypto

Apart from crypto, Trump continues to make millions from his well-known real estate empire. His Florida properties—including Mar-a-Lago, Doral, and Jupiter—brought in over $217 million.

He also cashed in on his brand name. The disclosure shows:

$3 million from a coffee table book.

$2.8 million from Trump watches.

$2.5 million from Trump-branded sneakers and fragrances.

$1.15 million from NFT licensing and royalties.

$1 million from collectible guitars.

Add to that another $700,000+ from speaking gigs—and it’s clear Trump’s income streams remain diverse and many more.

Debts and Legal Troubles Still Loom

The filing also lists over $100 million in unpaid real estate loans. Trump is still battling several legal cases, including the $454 million civil fraud judgment and $88 million defamation payout, though both are currently paused due to appeals.

Despite these liabilities, Trump’s crypto earnings stand out. They show that even traditional political figures are now diving into digital assets, and walking away with millions.

The post Ripple and SEC Case Close with $125M Escrow Deal in Joint Court Filing appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

After nearly five years of courtroom drama, the Ripple vs. SEC case is finally reaching its last chapter. In a joint move, Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have asked a New York court to release $125 million in escrow funds, marking the end of a long fight. 

Meanwhile, XRP is no longer seen as a security in the secondary market, giving a boost to XRP price, which is now trading around $2.15.

Joint Filing By Ripple & SEC

What started in December 2020 as a case in which the U.S. SEC first sued Ripple, accusing the firm of raising $1.3 billion through unregistered XRP sales.

Now, after several key rulings and appeals, both Ripple and the SEC have come to a final agreement. 

According to their joint filing, $50 million from the escrow account will go to the SEC as a civil penalty, while Ripple will receive the remaining $75 million, pending court approval.

In their letter to the court, the parties said this move avoids further appeals and officially brings the lengthy lawsuit to a close.

XRP’s Legal Status Now Clear

This motion follows Judge Analisa Torres’s 2023 ruling, which clarified that XRP is not a security when traded on secondary markets. That judgment gave Ripple and the broader crypto industry a huge boost in credibility. 

However, the court had also found that early XRP sales to institutional investors did qualify as securities.

Even Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse hailed the SEC’s decision to drop its appeal, calling it a “milestone moment” for the entire industry.

XRP Price Holds Steady

Following the news, XRP has shown signs of recovery despite the recent market dip. The token is currently trading at around $2.16, reflecting a jump of 2.45% in the last 24 hours. 

Meanwhile, experts see a key resistance at $2.35, with potential upside toward $2.44–$2.60 if momentum builds. On the downside, support lies near $2.05.

The post Trump Media Gets SEC Nod for Bitcoin Treasury Filing: What Next? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) declared the Form S-3 registration statement by Trump Media and Technology Group Corp. (NASDAQ: DJT) effective on Friday, June 13, 2025. As a result, the Donald Trump-backed company has the agency’s greenlight to implement a Bitcoin (BTC) treasury plan.

“We’re aggressively implementing our plans to expand the Company, our offerings, and our capabilities. By simultaneously enhancing and growing our social media platform, TV streaming platform, and our FinTech brand while establishing a Bitcoin treasury, we aim to continue rapidly transforming Trump Media into an indispensable company for the expanding customer base of the Patriot Economy,” Devin Nunes, Trump Media’s CEO and President, noted 

What the Approval of Trump Media’s Bitcoin Treasury Bid Means

The adoption of Bitcoin by the Trump-backed company is a top gesture that the United States will continue to support the cryptocurrency industry in the long haul. The SEC and the Congress have been working towards ensuring a clear crypto regulatory landscape is implemented in the shortest time possible.

As a result, more institutional investors will follow in the same direction of adopting Bitcoin to hedge against high inflation. At the time of this writing, data from BitcoinTreasuries suggest that 235 institutional investors currently hold over 3.4 million BTCs in their respective treasury accounts.

The ultimate impact of the rising demand for Bitcoin is a further stress on the supply vs demand shock, which has fueled the BTC rally in the past year. From a technical analysis standpoint, BTC price will experience a parabolic rally before the end of this year catalyzed by institutional investors and clear regulatory frameworks.

The post Solana ETF Update: Several Fund Managers Files Updated Form S-1 With U.S. SEC appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Several fund managers have heeded the request from United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to file amended form S-1 for their respective spot Solana (SOL) ETFs. On Friday, all fund managers seeking to offer spot Solana ETFs filed amended Form S-1.

On the top list of fund managers seeking to offer spot Solana ETFs in the United States include Franklin Templeton, Fidelity, VanEck, Bitwise, and Grayscale Investments. As Coinpedia reported earlier this week, the U.S. SEC is likely to respond to the form S-1 in the next 30 days, thus triggering a potential altcoin ETF summer in the subsequent months.

Furthermore, Polymarket users predict that there is a 91 percent chance that the U.S. SEC will approve Solana ETFs by the end of 2025.

Market Impact on Solana and its altcoins 

The Solana network has recorded significant growth in the past year to scale its throughput and facilitate mainstream adoption of web3. The imminent approval of spot Solana ETFs in the United States will present a major competition to the Ethereum (ETH) dominance in the crypto market.

Furthermore, the Solana network has already attracted several companies that have adopted SOL as a treasury management tool. For instance, SOL Strategies Inc. (CSE: HODL) holds more than 420k Solana coins for its treasury management.

The ultimate impact of the rising adoption of Solana by institutional investors is a major bull rally by the end of this year. According to Matt Hougan, CIO at Bitwise, the wider cryptocurrency market is currently in a summer of accumulation ahead of an epic rally by EOY.

The post Ethereum Foundation Donates $500k to Roman Storm Ahead of Next Month’s Trial appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Ethereum Foundation (EF) has donated $500k towards the legal defense of Roman Storm, a co-founder of Tornado Cash, who was charged by the United States. The EF argued that Storm should not be criminalized for advocating for privacy through writing a mere computer code.

Notably, the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) lifted its sanctions against Tornado Cash on March 21, 2025, following a legal reversal by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. However, the charges against Storm were not dropped and the trial is currently scheduled for July 14, 2025. 

As Coinpedia previously reported, Storm is fighting three main charges, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business, and violating the International Economic Emergency Powers Act (IEEPA).

Ethereum Foundation Fights for DeFi Freedom 

The case against Storm, which is estimated to cost $2 million in legal fees until the trial next month, has attracted significant attention in the Decentralized Finance (DeFi) space. According to the EF, the attack on Storm for developing Tornado Cash is a direct attack on basic human rights on privacy.

With the DeFi ecosystem seeking to override traditional financial systems, the trial on Storm will be crucial to the future growth prospects for the cryptocurrency market. Furthermore, countries have been pushing to regulate the cryptocurrency market to retain their traditional powers, which have been debunked by the immense adoption of Bitcoin (BTC) and the wider altcoin market.

“The DOJ wants to bury DeFi, saying I should’ve controlled it, added KYC, never built it. SDNY is trying to crush me, blocking every expert witness. If I lose, DeFi dies with me. The dream of financial freedom, the code I believed in—it all fades into darkness. I’m fighting, but the weight is unbearable. This isn’t just my end; it’s ours,” Storm noted.

The post Bitcoin (BTC) Price Drop To $105k Divides Crypto Traders: What Next? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The ongoing Middle East conflict has impacted the wider cryptocurrency market led by Bitcoin (BTC) price. In the past 24 hours, BTC price dropped over 3 percent to trade about $105k on Friday, June 13, 2025, during the mid-North American trading session. 

The wider altcoin market experienced a similar drop, resulting in more than $1.1 billion rekt from crypto leveraged markets in the last 24 hours. As a result, crypto traders have been mixed with some remaining optimistic while some waiting for a clear signal to re-enter.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan Issues a Bold Bitcoin Prediction 

The cryptocurrency market has been experiencing a stablecoins summer following the ongoing regulatory goodwill from major jurisdictions, led by the United States. As the global money supply (M2) grows exponentially, more institutional investors have proliferated into the stablecoins market, thus significantly improving the crypto liquidity.

Following the Bitcoin and wider altcoin drop in the past few days, Matt Hougan, the CIO at Bitwise, highlighted that an accumulation is more likely in the coming weeks before a parabolic rally before the end of this year.

“I think this is the ‘Summer of Accumulation’, a moment for long-term investors to build positions ahead of an epic EOY run,” Hougan noted.

What the Chart is Saying?

After enjoying an impressive rally following the end of the trade wars in the past two months, BTC price experienced a significant resistance level of about $112k. The flagship coin failed to rally beyond $112k and has since retraced to a crucial buy zone of around $105k. 

In the four-hour timeframe, Bitcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) and MACD line KAS been hinting at potential reversal. Furthermore, the RSI has been hovering around the oversold levels and the MACD’s histogram has been hinting at declining selling pressure.

The post Shiba Inu News: SHIB Price Drops By More Than Half in 6 Months, While Attention Shifts to This New Meme Coin in June appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Shiba Inu meme coin once generated the most buzz. In 2021, its value surged by 48,000,000%, cementing its status as a crypto legend. It created overnight millionaires and proved that meme tokens could go mainstream. But nearly four years later, SHIB’s momentum appears to be fading fast. The token has now lost more than 50% of its value in just six months, and despite ecosystem upgrades and attempted comebacks, it hasn’t regained the spark that once drove it. 

At the same time, a new meme project—Little Pepe (LILPEPE)—is gaining rapid traction. But unlike SHIB in its early days, $LILPEPE isn’t just riding hype. It’s launching with a working Layer 2 blockchain, sniper bot protection, and a utility-first approach that could give it the edge to become 2025’s breakout meme token.

Shiba Inu’s Struggles: Down Over 50% in 6 Months

Shiba Inu (SHIB) has officially dropped more than half its value since December 2024. As of June 9 2025, it had fallen from around $0.000024 to approximately $0.000012.Despite several attempts to recapture investor interest, SHIB has remained flat. This includes the Shytoshi Kusama documentary and rumored integrations with Solana. Yet, its price is unable to break key resistance levels or generate meaningful upside.

More importantly, SHIB continues to battle the same issue that has plagued it for years: a lack of fresh catalysts. The meme magic that fueled its 48,000,000% rally in 2021 has faded. And although its ecosystem has expanded, with developments such as the Shibarium Layer 2 launch and ShibaSwap DEX, most of these initiatives came too late to drive price momentum.

SHIB/USD 1wk Price Chart|Source: TradingView

What’s more worrying is the sharp drop in whale activity. Between June 5 and June 9, SHIB’s large transaction volume collapsed by over 91.5%. That kind of decline usually signals a lack of confidence from big players. Even with past success, many investors are now questioning whether SHIB has already reached its peak. The token remains over 85% below its all-time high, and technical indicators, such as the RSI, continue to hover around neutral territory, with no breakout in sight.

Little Pepe ($LILPEPE): The Meme Coin Built to Outrun the Market

While SHIB drifts sideways, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is exploding into view as one of the most exciting meme coin projects of 2025. Unlike typical meme tokens that are all hype and no utility, LILPEPE is launching with something much bigger: its own Layer 2 blockchain designed exclusively for meme coins. It brings with it faster transactions, near-zero gas fees, sniper bot protection, and a smoother experience for meme traders and developers.

How Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Can Help Build a Million-Dollar Portfolio

If you’re aiming for high-upside returns, Little Pepe offers all the right ingredients to be a potential millionaire maker: 

Presale Price Advantage: Currently live at $0.0015, with the next round priced at $0.0025. That’s a built-in 66% gain for early buyers before it hits exchanges.

Layer 2 Utility: LILPEPE isn’t just a meme—it’s the gas token for its own chain, which gives it real transactional utility.

Pepe Pump Pad: A built-in meme launchpad lets users spin up meme coins with locked liquidity, anti-rug features, and bot protection.

CEX Listings Confirmed: Two centralized exchange listings were already secured at launch, and additional plans are in place for a major exchange reveal following the presale.

Proven Team: While the developers remain anonymous, they’re rumored to include contributors from previous top meme projects, adding serious credibility.

With 26.5% of supply allocated to presale participants, 13.5% set aside for staking rewards, and 30% going into chain reserves, LILPEPE is built with long-term growth in mind.

But most importantly, it’s early. Unlike SHIB or DOGE, which have already made their massive moves, LILPEPE is just getting started. The presale means you’re getting in before launch, before listings, and before the viral waves hit.

Conclusion: SHIB Is Cooling, LILPEPE Is Catching Fire

While SHIB is down over 50% in just six months, traders, whales, and meme hunters alike are now looking for the next big breakout in Little Pepe.  Backed by real tech, a powerful narrative, and a price that favors early believers, LILPEPE is one of the only meme coins in 2025 offering both viral appeal and utility. And with the presale live, the window to get in before the crowd is wide open.

Visit littlepepe.com and join the presale before the next price increase.

The post Is Ethereum Really Going to $3000? Will Altcoin Season Begin in H2,2025 or Differed to 2026? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ethereum price is closely following the star token Bitcoin, which has been printing massive bearish candles for the past few days. The ETH price also dropped from $2800 once again; that has turned this level into a crucial barrier. With this, the price has confirmed a correction that may go deeper if the bulls fail to defend the local support below $2400. 

But why is the Ethereum price dropping? Will it ever reach $3000 in 2025?

The crypto markets were hard hit by the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the middle-east nations, Israel and Iran. the markets experienced more than a billion liquidations in the past 24 hours, which compelled the top token to trigger an inverse v-shaped rejection. Currently, the ETH price has lost all the gains it incurred in the past couple of days and hence an invalidation of a bullish pattern is believed to adversely impact the Ethereum price rally. 

As seen in the above chart, the ETH price is still hopeful of a strong rebound as the levels remain within a parallel channel despite the rejection. On the other hand, the price continues to trade between 50 & 200 day MA that aim for a bullish crossover or the Golden cross. Meanwhile, the RSI remains stuck within a descending parallel channel, which could be a huge concern for the upcoming price action. Hence, the Ethereum price is now believed to test the lower support of the channel close to $2400, if the correction intensifies, followed by a strong rebound to the resistance. 

Will the Altsesason be Delayed Beyond 2025?

Although the Ethereum bulls are defending the price from the critical support, the chart patterns have not yet confirmed the rise over the bearish trend. In the meantime, the Bitcoin dominance has begun to rise, which suggests the liquidity flow has yet again begun into the star token. The Altcoin season index had risen beyond Bitcoin, which was speculated to trigger an Altseason, but the levels have again dropped, hinting towards a BTC season. 

The current market conditions are not in favor of an Altseason as the altcoins do not show any major change in the short term. This suggests the Bitcoin price could remain at the centre stage and hence the other altcoins are expected to follow. Hence, the Altseason may not trigger in the short term but with the change in the market conditions, one can expect the rise of altcoins, provided Bitcoin dominance drops below 55. 

The post This Trader Sold Solana at $180 for a Presale—Could It Be a 15,870% Mistake? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The presence of uncertainty in the cryptocurrency market can be seen in the case of a Solana trader who decided to sell at $180, shortly before the asset dropped to $158.56. This 3.73 percent decline within a day highlights the difficulties of when to invest in proven commodities such as Solana.

Although Solana is still a powerful contender with a well-built infrastructure, its volatility in recent times has caused investors to seek other projects with a higher upside potential. With the presale momentum, Kaanch Network, the best crypto, has become a plausible solution for investors looking to limit the risks exposed to market changes but aiming to achieve high returns.

 Kaanch’s Presale: A 15,870% Surge Potential

Kaanch Network is on Stage 6 of the presale, and the price of tokens is $0.32, which will be doubled in the next stage to $0.64. With more than 2,132,685 raised, the project proves to be of great interest to investors, which can be explained by the scarcity of the supply or 58 million tokens.

With the upcoming Bitmart listing at a price of $30 per token, Kaanch is set to experience a significant price increase, and analysts estimate that the token could rise by 15,870% after the listing. Investors will be able to buy tokens with ETH or USDT, and an additional benefit will be up to 30% APY live staking in the presale. Interested parties can visit the Kaanch presale website and have an opportunity to buy the best crypto tokens at a lower price before the price increment.

Unmatched Technical Capabilities

The Kaanch Network infrastructure is performant, capable of up to 1.4 million transactions per second with 0.8-second finality. Such speed guarantees an immediate execution of trades and low latency smart contract functionality, outperforming a variety of current Layer-1 blockchains.

Also, with almost zero gas fees, Kaanch becomes an affordable solution to decentralized applications, microtransactions, and payments, attracting developers and businesses alike. With 3,600 decentralized nodes, the network focuses on security and scalability, making it a strong basis of enterprise and individual applications.

Real-World Asset Tokenization and Governance

Kaanch differentiates itself by focusing on real world asset tokenization, including gold and real estate, as opposed to speculative cryptocurrencies. The method allows safe, immediate transfer of physical assets, fulfilling the need in regulated decentralized finance applications that is growing rapidly.

The community-based governance system of the platform, enabled through an open staking dashboard, allows token holders to have a voice in governance, creating a sense of transparency and engagement. Kaanch smart contracts are audited by SpyWolf and VerifyLab, which increases investor confidence and makes the ecosystem secure and transparent.

Enterprise and Developer-Friendly Design

The ability of Kaanch Network as the best layer 1 to interoperate with the most popular blockchains, such as Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, turns it into a flexible environment to develop scalable decentralized applications. It has an enterprise-friendly architecture and developer tools that simplify integration, making Kaanch poised to be used massively.

The knch domain system also enables digital identity and wallet verification, making it even more useful in Web3 applications. Those investors wanting to participate in this project need to visit the Kaanch presale website and purchase some of the quickly selling presale to take advantage of its potential prior to the BitMart listing in late June 2025.

The post Next Wave of Crypto Stars: Top Emerging Projects for June 2025 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

As the crypto market begins to heat up in June 2025, crypto prices are starting to rise again, and investors are on the hunt for the most promising assets. As institutional capital pours into the crypto sector, the best investment strategy right now is to buy low and watch your portfolio grow 20x or more.

A good example of this is Mutuum Finance (MUTM), where investors stand to make bombastic returns. Recent analysts forecast that the MUTM token could rise by as much as 2,745% once it goes live. Let us take a closer look at the next wave of crypto stars.

Ripple (XRP)

The XRP coin has been in the news a lot lately. For instance, Ripple Labs recently made the case for why XRP could replace the SWIFT payment system. In the past week, this has led to some positive price movement, with XRP rising over 4%.

However, XRP has recently come under scrutiny by the crypto market due to ongoing legal challenges. Some analysts have stated that XRP could dip by as much as 20%. Unless something big happens in the next few days, this could happen. The cycle of unstable gains and massive slides is expected to continue for the medium term.

If you are looking for consistent and dependable gains, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) still offers the best prospects for massive returns. Currently in the presale, it offers investors the perfect entry point.

Solana (SOL)

Solana (SOL) is an exciting ecosystem that rose to a new all-time high in January 2025. However, it has since fallen off as utility has failed to materialize amid the meme coin surge. Despite this, SOL could surprise many critics by rising over 25% in 20205 to around $200 per coin. While these gains would be impressive, they are a drop in the bucket compared to the massive gains of 20x expected for Mutuum Finance (MUTM).

Mutuum Finance (MUTM): Primed For Explosive Growth

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is an innovative new project in the Defi sector that is built for complete transformation. The protocol allows users to participate as lenders, borrowers, or liquidators.

When participating as a lender, you deposit your funds into the pool to earn interest. The interest you receive is based on the pool utilization rate. As the amount of loans taken by borrowers rises, the utilization rises. This, in turn, encourages the borrowers to pay back loans to avoid the rising rates. Meanwhile, lenders seize the opportunity for higher yields and deposit more funds.

The result is that the Mutuum Finance protocol is a self-sustaining ecosystem that will achieve optimal capital efficiency. To ensure that the pools always have enough liquidity, all loans on the protocol must be overcollateralized. Additionally, the protocol applies a reserve factor to ensure there is a meaningful liquidity buffer across the ecosystem.

Liquidity Safeguards

On Mutuum Finance, various measures are taken to ensure the long-term viability of the protocol. One of these measures is the restricted collateralization mode, where collateral is restricted to borrowing only one type of asset. This is done when an asset has too much volatility that would make it a potential source of instability in the ecosystem.

Another measure used to protect the ecosystem is the Enhanced Collateral Efficiency (ECE), which applies to closely correlated price movements, such as stablecoins. The ECE is used to provide these assets with elevated borrowing limits, encouraging the participation of high-value assets in the protocol. The result is that participants get the benefits of enhanced capital efficiency when dealing in assets with consistent pegs and near-identical market movement.

The loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is another important metric used to safeguard liquidity on Mutuum Finance (MUTM). It is a cap on how much a given asset can borrow relative to its value. For instance, an asset may be assigned an LTV of 60%, which means 1 unit of that asset can only borrow 0.60 worth of another token. The actual LTV fluctuates with time based on real-time market movements. 

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) also has a liquidation trigger to safeguard liquidity. This is the threshold at which a debt is deemed unsafe and liquidated. For instance, if the borrowed amount surpasses a level of 70% of the collateral value, that position could be deemed unstable. The liquidators step in and acquire the debt at a discount. These liquidators make a small profit as a reward for helping to stabilize the ecosystem.  

Once a position is in liquidation, the system applies a liquidation penalty. A portion of this amount can go to the treasury as compensation, while the rest goes to the liquidator. The protocol uses an allocation factor to determine how much goes to the treasury and how much goes to liquidators. As a result, there is a balance between incentives for quick liquidations and ensuring the long-term solvency of the protocol.

MUTM Token Presale

The MUTM token presale has raised over $10.45 million so far and is in phase 5. Tokens in this phase are going for $0.03, a 20% increase from the phase 4 price of $0.025. In the next phase, the token price will go up by 16.67% to $0.035. So far, around 11,900 participants have taken part in the presale, and the number grows daily as word spreads.

If you are looking for the most optimistic token presale of 2025, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is, hands down, your best bet.

The post Walmart and Amazon to Launch Their Own Stablecoins appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Walmart and Amazon are reportedly exploring the launch of their own USD-pegged stablecoins, signaling a massive shift in how multinational companies handle payments and global settlements.

The move comes as stablecoin adoption surges globally, and tech giants seek faster, cheaper, and more transparent payment solutions.

Why Walmart and Amazon Are Getting Into Crypto

Amazon (valued at $2.26 trillion) and Walmart ($757.31 billion) are evaluating the issuance of dollar-backed cryptocurrencies. Their goal?

Reduce credit card network fees

Streamline global payments

Improve cross-border settlement speed

Walmart has already tested blockchain in Canada for freight payments, leading to fewer disputes and greater efficiency—now it wants to replicate that success on a broader scale.

What Stablecoins Offer to Retail Giants

Launching their own stablecoins can help Amazon and Walmart:

Avoid high transaction fees from traditional card networks

Gain real-time visibility in supply chains

Accelerate international e-commerce settlements

Improve customer payment experience with faster and cheaper options

Challenges Ahead for Crypto Integration

Despite the benefits, integrating stablecoins isn’t without hurdles:

Price volatility of crypto still looms, affecting product pricing

Blockchain scalability remains complex for large-scale supply chains

Cybersecurity risks must be addressed to protect digital transactions

Walmart previously faced difficulty scaling blockchain across its vast operations, which may return as a key concern.

Stablecoin Boom and Bitcoin Surge in 2025

The stablecoin market has now crossed $250 billion, growing at 4.5% monthly. Bitcoin, currently trading at $104,991.96, is projected to rise another 5% in the next 30 days.

As digital currencies go mainstream, companies like Standard Chartered, PayPal, Revolut, and Stripe have already joined the stablecoin trend.

Trump Backs Stablecoins: A Turning Point?

A major catalyst behind this shift is President Trump’s public endorsement, where he stated,

“Stablecoins are going to be the savior of the dollar.”

His pro-crypto stance, combined with congressional support, has renewed enthusiasm in the corporate world, encouraging more giants to step into crypto.

Final Thoughts

As stablecoins rise and blockchain matures, Walmart and Amazon’s entry into crypto could reshape global commerce. If successful, their stablecoins might pave the way for a new era of low-cost, high-speed payments—backed by some of the biggest names in the world.

The post What’s in ARKK? A Look at Cathie Wood’s Top Innovation ETF Picks appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Cathie Wood of ARK Invest has long excited investors with her daring strategy toward disruptive innovation. Her flagship fund, the ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK), targets individuals hoping to profit from companies that are transforming the world.

In a recent Yahoo Finance segment, Stocks in Translation host Jared Blikre breaks down ARKK’s key investments from 2020 to 2025, highlighting how Wood’s strategy has evolved – from the explosive highs of 2020 to the ambitious possibilities of 2025.

Here’s a closer look at the fund’s journey and what’s driving it today.

The 2020 Boom: A Stellar Lineup

ARKK saw a 153% increase in 2020, accompanied by a list of disruptive companies.  While Teladoc Health (TDOC) profited from the telemedicine trend, Tesla (TSLA) was the leader in the electric vehicle (EV) market.

Roku (ROKU) drove the streaming revolution, Block (SQ) transformed digital payments, and Shopify (SHOP) empowered a new era of e-commerce.

These holdings showcased Wood’s sharp instinct for companies redefining their industries, making ARKK a favorite among growth-focused investors.

2025’s New Bets: Crypto, Metaverse, and AI

Looking at 2025, ARKK will explore emerging trends. Nevertheless, Elon Musk’s Tesla continues to lead, but Wood has broadened her attention to Gitlab (GTLB) for AI and data analysis, Roblox (RBLX) for the metaverse, and Coinbase Global (COIN) for cryptocurrency investment. 

This change supports Wood’s ultimate purpose of rapid expansion and emphasizes her beliefs regarding blockchain, virtual realities, and AI as the upcoming major developments. 

Performance Swings

ARKK’s performance has been uneven. Following its peak in 2020, it fell 67% in 2022 due to increasing rates, with assets dropping from $59 billion in 2021 to $11.1 billion by mid-2024. 

A recovery in 2023 resulted in an 82% increase, surpassing the S&P 500’s 53%. As of May 2025, ARKK has risen only 1% year-to-date, underperforming the market but picking up momentum since April, assisted by stocks such as Palantir.

High Risk, High Conviction

Critics, including Morningstar, point to ARKK’s $14.3 billion loss in investor wealth over the past decade, citing its volatility.

Still, Wood’s early wins, like Tesla and Bitcoin, highlight her long-term vision. ARKK remains a high-risk, high-reward play on the future of innovation.

The post Cardano Founder Hoskinson Plans to Use Bitcoin and Stablecoins to Help Cardano Grow appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Charles Hoskinson, the mind behind Cardano, is once again turning heads—this time with a bold new idea aimed at strengthening the ecosystem’s financial future. He shared a detailed update about a decentralized Sovereign Wealth Fund (SWF) for the Cardano ecosystem during a recent podcast. 

From Bitcoin investments to ADA buybacks, this plan could bring long-term value and stability to the community. 

But not everyone is on board just yet.

Hoskinson Cardano SWF Work

In his podcast on X, Hoskinson explained how the Cardano SWF would work. He said it’s inspired by how countries like Norway use their wealth to invest in various assets for future growth. 

The idea is to take around $100 million worth of ADA from the treasury and convert some of it into stablecoins and Bitcoin.

This isn’t about abandoning ADA; in fact, it’s the opposite. The plan is to invest a portion of treasury funds into less volatile assets to earn yield, then use those earnings to repurchase ADA over time. 

This strategy, according to Hoskinson, would help grow ADA’s value and strengthen the entire Cardano ecosystem in a sustainable way.

Bitcoin Investment – ADA Buybacks Strategy 

Hoskinson suggested that profits from the Bitcoin investment could be used to buy back ADA, which could increase demand and support its price. He believes that by reinvesting these profits every year over five to ten years, the community could create a self-sustaining financial model that strengthens Cardano’s future.

This move isn’t just about making money; it’s about making Cardano stronger in the long run without risking too much of its core treasury.

Community Support and Skepticism

While some members of the Cardano community welcomed the idea, others had different thoughts. One member, Chad Luce, suggested that a Private Equity Fund or Green Energy Fund might bring in more investors and better returns than the proposed SWF.

Despite mixed reactions, Hoskinson made it clear that diversification is key and that long-term planning is essential for ADA to grow and thrive.

ADA Treasury Plan for Stability

Charles Hoskinson’s proposal shows that Cardano is focused on long-term growth, not short-term hype. By using part of the treasury wisely, building profits, and supporting ADA, the Sovereign Wealth Fund could become a smart way to protect and grow the Cardano network for years to come.

As of now, Cardano ADA price is trading around $0.64, reflecting a drop of 5.4% in the last 24 hours, with a market cap hitting $10.9 billion. 

The post Altcoins To Buy Now For 10x Gains appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

As regulatory clarity improves and institutional interest grows, analysts believe the market is entering a multi-year supercycle, where a select group of tokens could see 10x or more gains. 

In a latest analysis, expert EllioTrades has listed some altcoins that he believes have major upside once regulations are clear. 

Aave (AAVE)

Aave is currently trading at $284.82, down 3% in the past day. It is up 24% in the past month. AAVE has rallied 180% since April, recently hitting $312, its highest since February. AAVE also formed a golden cross on the charts, and it could keep climbing toward $398, a 28% gain from current levels, unless it falls below the $282 support.

Maker (MKR)

Maker is currently trading at $1885, down 5% in the last 24 hours. It is up around 17% in the last 2 weeks, and experts predict Maker to rise by 34% and reach $2,512 by July 13, with a price range between $1,879 and $2,570. While the short-term sentiment is mixed, analysts expect up to 35% upside in July if the trend holds, with an average target around $2,475.

Maple Finance (SYRUP)

Maple Finance is currently trading at $0.4825, down over 3%. It is up around 60% in the past month. Key levels to watch are support at $0.46 and resistance at $0.52. If volume picks up, the price could rise toward $0.55. 

Ethena (ENA)

Ethena is currently trading at $0.2931, down over 10% in the last 24 hours. However, analysts believe that Ethena is testing the upper resistance of a descending channel on the daily chart. A breakout could send the price toward key targets at $0.45, $0.63, and $0.95.

Euler (EUL)

Euler is currently trading at $7.51, down 7.3%. Euler is down 15.78% over the past month and currently trades below both the 50-day and 200-day SMAs, signaling a bearish trend. A short-term recovery could push EUL to $16.10 by end of June, with a longer-term target of $27.32 by end of 2027.

Pendle (PENDLE)

Pendle is currently trading at $3.83, down 1.5% in the past day. Pendle is expected to stay around $3.69 in July, with a small chance to rise slightly. Traders could see a short gain if the price stays in the $3.68–$3.70 range.

Tokens like Uniswap, and Superverse, (which is quietly preparing to launch Black Hole), were also mentioned.

The post Altcoin Season 2025: Is the Capital Rotation Already Underway? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Today’s downturn has left crypto marketers wondering about the near future of the industry and the possibility of an altseason. Amidst all the hustle and bustle, analyst Cryptex Guy in an X post talks about whether we will see the altseason again. 

In this write-up, we take you through the proponent’s thesis, on the altcoin season, BTC dominance, stablecoins, Ethereum’s stance, and more. 

BTC Dominance + Stablecoin Mix:

The BTC.D + USDT.D + USDC.D combo chart shared by the analyst highlights how much money sits outside altcoins. Historically, this metric approaching the 74–75% red zone has been a trigger point for sharp altcoin rallies due to rejection from that overhead resistance.

Currently sitting at 70.87%, a final push into that zone, followed by rejection, as seen in the past, could mean a capital rotation into altcoins. Notably, a break below the ascending cyan trendline would confirm the end of Bitcoin’s capital dominance run, making way for a full-fledged Altseason, similar to the mini alt-run we’ve seen in Q4 2024.

BTC Dominance on Lower Time Frame:

On the 4H chart, BTC Dominance has broken out of a rising wedge, a classically bearish pattern for BTC.D. Since altcoins are inversely correlated to BTC.D, this breakout could lead to a short-term relief rally in altcoins.

Now, BTC.D appears to be retesting the wedge’s upper boundary. Should this retest be rejected, we can expect a quick 5–10% upside candles on strong altcoins. This aligns with Ethereum’s recent $1000+ surge, which injected $138B into the altcoin ecosystem.

Ethereum’s Retest & the Bigger Altseason Picture

On higher time frames, Ethereum has reclaimed a significant multi-year trendline, known as the Bull-Bear boundary. A successful reclaim would boost investor confidence and could catalyze sustained inflows into altcoins.

The altcoin market is also forming a bullish structure. If this pattern holds, it would set the stage for Altseason 2025, with many altcoins potentially seeing 2–3x gains from current levels. This scenario mirrors the patterns from 2023 and 2024, when capital rotation into alts delivered broad market upside.

FAQs

When can we expect the next Altseason to begin?

If BTC.D gets rejected from the 74–75% zone and breaks the trendline, Altseason could commence in late 2025, as historical patterns and technical structures align.

What role does Ethereum play in triggering Altseason?

Ethereum acts as a capital gateway. Its successful reclaim of major support boosts market-wide confidence, triggering rotations into other Layer 1s and alt sectors.

Is it too early to enter altcoins now?

Currently, altcoin prices are still suppressed, offering early entry opportunities. As BTC.D approaches resistance, the risk-to-reward ratio for alts becomes increasingly favorable.

The post Top Crypto Presales Set to Explode as 2025 Bull Run Begins appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Is This the Moment to Catch the Next Crypto Star? The crypto market is buzzing again. Bitcoin is trading close to $107,000, Ethereum is holding around $2,700, and XRP is steady at $2.24, based on data from Binance. Meme tokens like Shiba Inu, Pepe, and new contenders like Solaxy are making noise. But the spotlight is also shifting to hidden gems in the presale phase , high-potential tokens that could offer the biggest returns of 2025.

If you’re looking to get in early, Pepeto is a name you can’t ignore.

ShibaSwap vs Pepeto: Which One Has the Edge in 2025?

Shiba Inu made waves with ShibaSwap. But now, Pepeto may be offering something even bigger. It’s not just another meme coin — it’s building serious tools: a full exchange, a bridge for cross-chain swaps, and more.

With a total supply of 420 trillion tokens — same as Pepe — and a current presale price of just $0.000000134, Pepeto has room to grow. Meanwhile, Shiba and Pepe already sit in the billion-dollar club, which makes doubling harder.

What Makes Pepeto Different from Solaxy and Others?

Exchange for meme coins, built from scratch

Zero-fee trading on all swaps

PepetoSwap Bridge for swapping between ETH, BNB, and Solana

Education and anti-scam tools

Up to 280% APY for staking holders

As soon as Pepeto’s exchange goes live and it gets listed on Tier 1 exchanges, usage of the token will rise fast. The more people use it for swaps, the higher the demand — and price.

Behind the Hype: What Is Pepeto Really About?

Many believe Pepeto is the untold origin story of Pepe. The famous name “PEPE” took off — but the last two letters, T and O, were left behind. In Pepeto, they stand for Technology and Optimization, forming the full identity and mission of the project.

Crypto rumors suggest one of Pepe’s early creators, pushed out before its launch, is leading the Pepeto movement. This comeback has been dubbed the Day of Redemption. And when Elon Musk briefly used Pepeto in his X profile, the crypto world took notice.

Unlike Solaxy, which focuses on Solana’s Layer 2 tech, Pepeto is building a complete meme ecosystem. The Pepeto Exchange is launching its demo in just 5 days, according to its official channels.

Price Prediction: Could Pepeto Make Early Buyers Millionaires?

That’s a 92.7x gain

A $10,000 buy could grow to $927,000

Shiba, Doge, and Pepe created overnight millionaires. Pepeto could be next — it has the supply, story, and hype to follow the same path.

The post Walmart & Amazon Eye Stablecoins to Speed Up Payments appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Walmart and Amazon are exploring the launch of their own USD-pegged stablecoins to reduce payment costs and speed up transaction settlements, according to the Wall Street Journal. Their plans depend on regulatory clarity from the upcoming Genius Act. Both retail giants are also considering joining a merchant-led stablecoin consortium or using third-party digital payment solutions. If approved, this move could reshape how consumers and businesses handle digital payments, bringing faster and cheaper transactions to millions of users.

The post Crypto Presale of 2025: Bitcoin Solaris Gives Investors Who Missed Bitcoin Their Second Chance at Life-Changing Wealth appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

When Bitcoin first launched, few could have imagined it would transform early buyers into millionaires. But while that rocket may have taken off, 2025 has opened a new launchpad—and its name is Bitcoin Solaris (BTC-S). For anyone who missed Bitcoin’s first wave, this might just be the reset button they’ve been hoping for.

What Makes Bitcoin Solaris Different?

Bitcoin Solaris isn’t just another layer-1 chain trying to mimic the greats. It’s an entirely reimagined blockchain ecosystem, built for speed, fairness, and wealth creation. At its core lies a powerful dual-consensus mechanism, blending the rock-solid security of Proof-of-Work (PoW) with the blazing speed and efficiency of Delegated Proof-of-Stake (DPoS). That combination enables BTC-S to hit over 10,000 transactions per second with a 2-second finality, while using 99.95% less energy than Bitcoin.

More than just tech, Bitcoin Solaris has built its ecosystem to be inclusive. Through the exciting release of the Solaris Nova App, users will be able to mine from smartphones, laptops, and everyday devices—no expensive rigs or technical knowledge required.

Bitcoin Was the First Chance. BTC-S Could Be the Second.

Ask anyone who bought Bitcoin under $1000 and held on—life was never the same. But what if you had missed that? For many, the answer has been regret. BTC-S aims to rewrite that script. The entry price is still low, and the potential is massive.

It’s not a clone. It’s a next-gen system engineered from the ground up. From smart contract flexibility to cross-chain bridges and near-instant scalability, Bitcoin Solaris is positioning itself as a true backbone for Web3 finance and applications.

Why Investors Are Flocking In

A detailed review by Ben Crypto outlines why BTC-S is on the radar of top crypto voices.

Influencers and DeFi enthusiasts are calling it “one of the most promising crypto ecosystems of the year.”

Audits from Cyberscope and Freshcoins confirm a secure and well-structured codebase that inspires trust.

As of now, the presale is in Phase 7, with BTC-S priced at $7. With the launch price locked at $20, investors are looking at a 233% return if they hold until launch. And with only around 7 weeks left, time is tight. Over 11,000 users have already joined, making this one of the shortest and most explosive presales in recent memory.

Bitcoin Solaris is now sitting at over $4.1 million raised, and momentum is still climbing.

You can learn more and join the presale through Bitcoin Solaris.

Technical Brilliance That Translates to Wealth

BTC-S isn’t just fast—it’s precise. Behind the scenes, it operates using a hybrid chain architecture:

The Base Layer runs PoW for uncompromising security.

The Solaris Layer handles high-volume operations using DPoS for scalability.

Validators rotate intelligently across both layers, ensuring decentralized consensus and resilience.

Smart contracts on Bitcoin Solaris are Rust-based, enabling advanced DeFi features like atomic swaps, liquidity protocols, and cross-chain integration. All while maintaining ultra-low latency and stable execution.

A Smarter, Faster, Fairer Bitcoin Is Here—Step Into BTC-S

BTC-S also supports liquid staking, offering users the ability to stake without lockups. Tokens are converted 1:1 into sBTC-S, which can still be used across DeFi apps or traded freely. It’s part of the chain’s broader vision of accessible wealth-building.

Mining for Everyone: The Heart of BTC-S

Perhaps the most radical aspect of BTC-S is how it democratizes mining. Instead of making it exclusive to tech-savvy users with costly setups, the upcoming Solaris Nova App lets you start mining from your mobile or desktop with just a few taps.

More than a convenience, it’s a revolution in participation. And thanks to the blockchain’s adaptive consensus design, it remains highly efficient regardless of device.

You can even calculate your potential mining earnings here: Bitcoin Solaris Mining Calculator

Tokenomics That Inspire Confidence

Bitcoin Solaris embraces scarcity and strategic distribution through its structured tokenomics model:

Total Supply: 21 million BTC-S

66.66% for mining (spanning 90 years)

20% allocated for presale

Remaining split among liquidity, ecosystem, marketing, and rewards

Conclusion: Why Bitcoin Solaris Is The Second Chance at Life-Changing Wealth 

Bitcoin Solaris isn’t chasing hype—it’s building quietly, with purpose. Its advanced tech, mobile mining, and efficient design give everyday users a real opportunity to grow with the network from day one.

While headlines focus elsewhere, BTC-S is laying the foundation for something far bigger. For those paying attention, this could be the most important move they make in 2025.

The post Michael Saylor’s Bitcoin “Hope” Tweet Goes Viral Amid Market Recovery appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Michael Saylor just broke his routine and it’s turning heads in the crypto world. The MicroStrategy Executive Chairman posted his daily Bitcoin tweet earlier than usual, sharing a bold message: “Bitcoin is hope.”

Alongside the tweet, he included an AI-generated image of himself standing in a desert next to a blooming cactus – a striking metaphor for Bitcoin’s resilience even in the harshest conditions.

The timing? Spot on. Bitcoin has just started to recover from last week’s steep 4.2% drop, rising 1% today to trade at $104,720 (live rate). As always, Saylor’s message lands when it matters most.

Bitcoin is Hope pic.twitter.com/iE5w70c69O

— Michael Saylor (@saylor) June 13, 2025

“Bitcoin is Hope”: A Vision for a New Financial Era

Saylor’s tweet, “Bitcoin is hope,” reflects his belief that the cryptocurrency can change people’s lives. Echoing Max Keiser, Saylor asserts that the use of Bitcoin in place of fiat money might put an end to international conflicts arising from monetary systems. 

Further, his tweet, “If you have everything, you don’t need Bitcoin,” highlights the cryptocurrency’s ability to help those in need. Saylor’s vision of a decentralized financial future is becoming solid as Bitcoin stabilizes following market tremors caused by Middle East tensions.

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Empire Grows

MicroStrategy, under Saylor’s leadership, continues its aggressive Bitcoin accumulation. The company recently added $100 million worth of BTC, bringing its total holdings to 582,000 BTC, valued at over $61 billion. 

This week, MicroStrategy increased its STRD Bitcoin-backed shares offering on Nasdaq from $250 million to $1 billion, reinforcing its position as a Bitcoin treasury leader. 

In a Nutshell:

Michael Saylor’s “Bitcoin is hope” tweet and MicroStrategy’s $100M Bitcoin purchase, totaling 582,000 BTC, signal strong optimism as Bitcoin rebounds 1% to $104,720. 

The upsized $1B STRD Bitcoin-backed shares offering on Nasdaq just talks about Saylor’s vision of a DeFi future.
