Potential for Significant Bitcoin Decline as Investors Cash in Gains, According to Bitfinex
Bitcoin recently reached a fresh all-time high (ATH), marking its seventh week of consecutive gains. However, Bitfinex's Alpha report indicates that this streak may soon end as traders start to cash in their profits, particularly in the face of an uncertain macroeconomic climate intensified by US tariff tensions.
After reaching a new ATH, Bitcoin saw a minor correction, falling below its previous high of $109,590, largely due to renewed global trade war fears sparked by President Donald Trump's proposed 50% tariffs on EU imports. Bitfinex suggests that two types of sellers will emerge: those who have made a profit from the Bitcoin dip and those who have finally reached breakeven.
The substantial increase in profit-taking, particularly from short-term holders, suggests a period of market consolidation may be imminent.
Last week, a friend asked me how I’m still getting a solid yield in this market. I told him - @Mantle_Official.
He laughed at first. “Another chain with a fake TVL?”
I showed him the numbers: 172% YoY growth in the stablecoin market cap.
That’s not just hype - it’s real users, real builders, real capital flowing in.
It reminded me of early DeFi summer except this time, it's cleaner, faster, and modular.
Liquidity feels deep. Yields are real. Dapps aren’t just surviving. They're scaling.
I’ve seen a lot of chains promise big. But Mantle? It’s actually delivering.
Told my friend: “You’re early again, if you move now.”
Even the smartest whales don't always get the market right.
The whale that's been the talk of the town lately entered a 40x trade using millions of dollars, then exited and went short. The result?
He started with $3-4 million in capital, and actually made $87 million in profits... but due to a few bad decisions, his profits dropped to just $25 million.
The lesson?
If you think trading is easy, think twice.
It takes a few years to learn how to trade. At the very least, you need that to be truly profitable.

Metaplanet Inc., a Japanese firm known for its substantial Bitcoin holdings, is currently trading at a significant premium compared to Bitcoin's market value. Analysts from 10x Research have highlighted that Metaplanet's stock price implies a Bitcoin valuation of approximately $596,154—nearly five times its actual market price of around $109,810. This discrepancy suggests that Metaplanet's shares are trading at a 447% premium relative to Bitcoin's current value.
The inflated valuation may reflect investor enthusiasm for Metaplanet's Bitcoin-centric strategy, especially amid Japan's economic challenges. However, such a substantial premium raises concerns about potential overvaluation and the risk of a market correction.
Investors are advised to exercise caution and conduct thorough research before making investment decisions in this volatile market.

recent report highlights a concerning surge in crypto-related kidnappings, with the United States and France emerging as primary targets. Since 2019, the U.S. has recorded 48 such incidents, while Europe has seen 59 cases over the same period. Notably, France has experienced a sharp increase in 2025, with six reported cases, three of which occurred in Paris.
These crimes often involve sophisticated tactics, including physical threats and torture, to extract cryptocurrency credentials from victims. For instance, in New York, a 28-year-old Italian tourist was kidnapped and tortured for weeks by a cryptocurrency investor seeking access to his Bitcoin wallet. Similarly, in Paris, the daughter and grandson of a cryptocurrency executive narrowly escaped a kidnapping attempt by a masked gang.
The rise in such incidents underscores the need for heightened security measures among cryptocurrency investors and their families. Experts advise maintaining a low profile, avoiding public discussions about crypto holdings, and implementing robust personal security protocols to mitigate risks associated with physical threats targeting digital assets.

SHIB Burn Rate Explodes 2,416% as Over 53M Tokens Vanish in 24 Hours
Shiba Inu (SHIB) has witnessed a dramatic increase in its token burn rate, with more than 53 million coins permanently removed from circulation within just 24 hours. According to data from Shibburn, the burn rate surged by a staggering 2,416.44 percent as several large transactions sent millions of tokens to dead wallets.
The most significant transfers included 23,068,929 SHIB, followed by two others carrying 14,178,952 and 11,264,137 SHIB. The three burned most of the total shares in that period, leading to a significant drop in the number of SHIB coins in circulation.
Such rapid burns are often used as a supply control mechanism to boost scarcity. This strategy immediately impacted SHIB’s price performance. Following the burn, SHIB increased in value by 4.8 percent, going from $0.00001408 to $0.00001476.
Major Burn Triggers Market Response and Price Recovery
Over the weekend, a much larger burn rate percentage was also recorded. The rate skyrocketed by over 22,662 percent on Saturday, though the number of tokens burned was lower at 37,959,900 SHIB. The latest spike, however, involved a larger volume of tokens despite a relatively lower rate increase.
This sudden acceleration in burn activity has intensified the focus on SHIB’s market behavior. Many traders believe these huge burns show that the coin could increase in value over time. Cutting the token supply could help SHIB attract greater attention if the demand keeps growing.
Although the development team has not released an official statement on this latest burn, the event has already made waves across the SHIB community. Market observers closely watch whether this burn momentum will continue or slow in the coming days.
After a million SHIB tokens were destroyed in just one day, investors became excited about the coin’s future value. Higher prices reflect traders’ expectations of increasing demand after the supply drops.
