Pakistan has made another groundbreaking development to enhance crypto adoption. As per the reports, the federal cabinet of Pakistan has granted permission for the establishment of the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority to govern digital asset regulations. The respective development is poised to boost confidence among the crypto users in the country.

Pakistan Allows Establishment of Regulatory Forum for Digital Assets

In this respect, Pakistan’s federal cabinet released an official statement on Monday, declaring the development of Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA). This denotes a crucial step toward the creation of a comprehensive regulatory and legal framework to deal with digital assets. Hence, PVARA will reportedly operate as an autonomous regulatory body devoted to monitoring, overseeing, and licensing the platforms providing services concerning virtual assets.

The proposed regulatory body will go in line with the standards set by the Financial Action Task Force and the worldwide best practices. Interestingly, this development takes place following the Pakistan Crypto Council’s (PCC) creation on the 14th of March this year. The respective development commenced a push for the responsible regulation and development of blockchain technologies, tokenized assets, and digital currencies.

The Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) is led by Muhammad Aurangzeb (the Finance Minister of Pakistan) and Bilal Bin Saqib as its chairman and operational leader. With this, the PCC is revolutionizing the country’s policy for digital assets. Additionally, the Council has also onboarded worldwide blockchain leaders, such as Changpeng Zhao, the former CEO of Binance, as its strategic advisors.

PCC and Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Further Bolster Pakistan’s Efforts to Enhance Crypto Adoption

The PCC takes into account prominent representatives that belong to noteworthy institutions like the SECP Chairman, Federal Secretaries of IT and Law, as well as the State Bank Governor. In this way, it intends to guarantee a cross-government and unified approach to digital asset regulation. Apart from this, Pakistan also announced the formation of the country’s earliest Strategic Bitcoin Reserve during the Las Vegas-based Bitcoin 2025 Conference.

Moreover, the Pakistani authorities have also revealed the plans to specify the surplus electricity, equaling 2,000 megawatts, to conduct Bitcoin ($BTC) mining along with AI data hubs. This move is set to make the utilized energy a noteworthy economic driver. Furthermore, the PVARA’s development underscores Pakistan’s increased ambition to become a leader in the region in the case of digital finance.

BlackRock’s IBIT surpasses 700K BTC, now holds 55% of U.S. spot Bitcoin ETF supply.

Institutional Bitcoin buys outpace mining supply in 2025, per Galaxy Research data.

SEC eyes streamlined crypto ETF approvals amid rising demand for staked asset exposure.

BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has surpassed a major record, now holding over 700,000 BTC, solidifying its position as the largest spot Bitcoin ETF in the United States. The ETF crossed the limit following a $164.6 million inflow on Monday, bringing its total holdings to 700,307 BTC, worth approximately $75.5 billion.

JUST IN: BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin ETF has exceeded 700,000 $BTC in holdings — making it the most successful ETF ever. pic.twitter.com/Favuimj1Sq

— Whale Insider (@WhaleInsider) July 8, 2025

According to Apollo co-founder Thomas Fahrer, the fund added 1,388 BTC in just two trading sessions. BlackRock’s iShares website had listed 698,919 BTC under IBIT as of Thursday, confirming the sharp increase. IBIT now represents over 55% of the total BTC held across all U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs.

Data compiled by Galaxy Research shows that U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs, in combination with corporate holdings such as those owned by Michael Saylor’s Strategy, are acquiring more Bitcoin than is currently being mined. As of 2025, these entities have collectively purchased $28.22 billion worth of Bitcoin, while miners have introduced only $7.85 billion in net new issuance.

This trend has remained consistent throughout the year, with one exception in February when net outflows from these entities totaled $842 million. Every other month, institutional purchases outstrip the newly mined supply. The ongoing accumulation signals continued institutional interest in Bitcoin exposure through regulated financial products.

IBIT Performance and ETF Revenue Shift

Since its launch in January 2024, the iShares Bitcoin Trust has recorded a total return of 82.67%. The ETF’s performance has led to notable changes in BlackRock’s internal fund dynamics. According to recent reports, revenue generated from IBIT has now surpassed that of the firm’s long-standing flagship equity fund, the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF.

This revenue shift points to rising investor interest in digital assets within traditional financial structures. The IBIT’s size and performance have elevated its prominence among the growing number of spot crypto ETFs currently active in the U.S. market.

Regulatory Developments in the ETF Approval Process

Following the increased operations in the crypto ETF space, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is said to be making modifications to ease the approval process for future crypto-related ETFs. The amended regime would enable issuers to file Form S-1 and wait 75 days before actual objections are raised. Without any raised, the ETF may end up on the list.

This follows the introduction of the REX-Osprey Solana and Staking ETF earlier this month, the first U.S. ETF to provide exposure to a staked crypto asset. The product will offer exposure to Solana (SOL) and its staking rewards, which telegraph increased regulatory acceptability of more sophisticated crypto-based investment products.

New data released today by market analyst Phoenix Group listed top 10 cryptocurrencies that are in accumulation phase, indicating significant user interest in the tokens and their investment potentials.

This period is a market phase where investors are purchasing select tokens, suggesting upcoming price increases associated with the highlighted assets.

Top 10 Assets Facing Aggressive Accumulation

Hashflow (HFT)

Hashflow (HFT) is at the forefront of the list, according to the data. This happened this way because altcoin has the shortest accumulation period. As reported by the data, HFT has been in an accumulation period over the past five days. As of today, its market capitalization currently stands at $1.71 million.

Pudgy Penguins (PENGU)

Second on the list is Pudgy Penguins (PENGU), which has been in the accumulation phase over the past six days, highlighting investors’ trust in the NFT-focused crypto asset. The token currently holds a market valuation of $952.9 million. Its price currently stands at $0.01539, up 9.1% and 56.7% over the past week and month, respectively, showing its bullishness.  

LeverFi (LEVER)

Next is LeverFi (LEVER), which has been in the accumulation zone over the past seven days. It is a period when market participants have been accumulating the asset at favourable entry points.  This implies that the altcoin is preparing to experience a potential uptrend soon as investors continue buying the asset.

Movement (MOVE)  

Movement (MOVE) is in the fourth place, meaning investors view it as a buy opportunity. The asset has been in the accumulation period over the past nine days. Today, its market cap is valued at $384 million and its price currently hovers at $0.1488, down 16%, and 7.1% over the past seven days and two weeks, respectively. This implies that traders have been capitalizing on the current price declines to accumulate massive tokens at discounts.

Velo (VELO)

Fifth on the list is Velo (VELO), which has also been in the accumulation period over the past nine days. This suggests increased confidence among crypto investors in the asset, buying it during the period. While the asset’s price has been down 3.4% over the past week, savvy investors timed the dip, accumulating tokens at discounts.

Other Leading Assets in Accumulation Wave

Other major tokens currently in the accumulation zone include HSK, SEI, GNS, AB, and T.

Hashkey (HSK), with its current $82.2 million market valuation, has been experiencing a ‘purchasing frenzy’ over the past 12 days. This shows aggressive accumulation by investors, indicating increased trust in the altcoin.

Moving down, savvy investors have also been buying Sei (SEI) over the past 13 days. Its powerful market valuation of $1.4 billion implies its continued buying interests.

Gains Network (GNS) is on the eighth place on this list. Traders have been piling up GNS tokens over the past 13 days.

Lastly, AB DAO (AB) and Threshold (T) closed this list. This shows their prominence as they have been in the accumulation phase for the last 15 days and 18 days, respectively.

For every project that has brought us a step closer to the grand vision of a decentralized future, there’s been a rug-pull, a hack, an SEC lawsuit, a project crumbling under the weight of its own ambition – you get the gist. To say the industry has earned its Wild West reputation is like saying Al Capone merited his image as a troublemaker.

From Ponzi schemes masquerading as beneficent ‘bank the unbanked’ protocols to insider-driven token dumps, crypto is all too often undermined from within. Little wonder investors blow off steam by trading humorous memes and cynical soundbites. 

While it’s tempting to attribute this erosion of trust to tech-savvy recidivists, the blame lies with structural deficiencies in Web3 infrastructure itself. For all we brag about how transparent the industry is, most of us are incapable of parsing and assessing the ample blockchain data that’s readily available.

An antidote to the apathy has presented itself in the form of InfoFi – Information Finance – which turns raw ledger data into clear, actionable insights. InfoFi could be the foundational shift the industry needs, giving those proclamations of transparency a leg to stand on and helping rebuild confidence in crypto once and for all.

The Trust Deficit and InfoFi’s Rise

Public blockchains were designed to be open, but without the right tools, they’re little more than labyrinths – piled-up haystacks whose nuggets of wisdom are near-impossible to extract, much less decipher. One consequence of this is a preponderance of scams whose authors know regular users don’t have the time, energy or ability to identify the red flags.

InfoFi addresses this by turning blockchain’s raw data into structured, user-friendly intelligence, enabling anyone to verify a project’s bonafides before investing. Happily, the benefits flow to all ecosystem participants: retail traders gain the power to spot scams, institutional investors can carry out their due diligence, and regulators can track illicit activity and tick the boxes that need to be ticked.

Born from the ashes of speculative frenzies that rewarded hype (and cronies) over substance, InfoFi makes on-chain data – wallet connections, memecoin token distributions, whale movements etc – accessible to all, and in so doing, deters bad actors from running their favorite grifts.

In short, it levels the playing field, letting every user take advantage of the inherent benefits of blockchain technology.

InfoFi’s Visual Layer

Bubblemaps is a prime mover in the growing InfoFi landscape. A data visualization platform that makes blockchain-based analysis more accessible, it generates bubble maps – hence the name – to show things like token holdings, the better to identify insider collusion or impending token dumps. As such, it is proving to be an indispensable tool for scam-wary DeFi investors.

In May of this year, Bubblemaps’ token clusters highlighted the potential dangers of investing in a fake Eric Trump-themed memecoin minted on Pump.fun: the platform’s data showed that over 91% of the asset’s supply was concentrated across ten token clusters/wallets, indicating a heightened risk of price manipulation or a sudden liquidity withdrawal.

Founded in 2022, the year of the FTX imbroglio, Bubblemaps has quickly become a go-to resource for millions, and has been integrated on an array of trusted platforms like Etherscan, DEXScreener, and CoinGecko. Its V2 platform, launched earlier this year, supports multiple blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, Polygon and others), giving users the power to uncover hidden wallet connections and expose historical trends.

Bubblemaps’ utility token (BMT) is central to the ecosystem, enabling governance, unlocking premium features, and rewarding proposals submitted to the Intel Desk, a community-driven investigative platform that harnesses the wisdom of the crowd. The tokenomics are such that Bubblemaps operates much in the manner of a decentralized watchdog, one whose goal is to combat cynicism and chicanery with clarity and confidence.

Of course, Bubblemaps is just one of several entities looking to take the fight to the Web3 fraudsters. Others include Kaito AI, Cookie.fun, Ethos Network and XHunt.

DeFi Deserves InfoFi

Given the permissionless nature of DeFi, forensic-grade analytic tools are a necessity to see through the smoke and mirrors. Although the regulatory picture has brightened thanks to a largely pro-crypto administration, the availability of such tools can only help in that regard, too. 

To foster trust and set the scene for further growth, not to mention stick one in the eye of black-hat hackers everywhere, the crypto industry must coalesce around transparency as a core principle. With InfoFi tools becoming more widely available, perhaps the Wild West reputation is finally on borrowed time.

With the continuous evolution in the crypto economy, initiatives like Stables’ are poised to spotlight a wide trend. In this type of trend, digital assets are not mere speculative tools, they are functional instruments of daily life.

Kinto, the modular exchange, has joined forces with Suede AI, a disruptive platform where artificial intelligence and blockchain are combined to revolutionize the music industry. 

We are happy to announce our partnership with @aisuede.Suede is revolutionizing the music industry. By combining AI-driven music creation with blockchain technology, Suede empowers creators and users through a transparent, community-driven ecosystem. Decentralized &… pic.twitter.com/0bkj1Meb9F

— Kinto (@KintoXYZ) July 8, 2025

This partnership will facilitate the creation, release, and revenue generation within the music industry, ushering in a new era of community involvement and transparency.

Kinto x Suede: Partnership Details

Kinto and Suede AI have designed a partnership in which Kinto will add the Suede AI patented music creation and royalty engine to its Layer 2 exchange infrastructure. Suede AI creates artistic music using machine learning models and then tokenizes the original compositions on the blockchain. 

The source of each track is put in a transparent ledger, and this means that creators and fans can confirm authenticity and ownership without using any third party.

Music based on AI Creation

The key idea of Suede AI is that the company can produce high-quality music using artificial intelligence. The platform can generate melodies, harmonies, and beats based on user inputs by training on large libraries of musical patterns. 

Musicians will have access to an easily understandable interface where they can instruct the AI to produce genres as wide as the lyrics of electronic music to orchestral music. When completed, works are then minted to NFTs, which form a record of authorship and give the likes an ownership cut in subsequent royalties.

Real-Time Royalties

In addition to the composition, the Suede AI offers a royalty engine in real-time, facilitated through smart contracts. Due to tokens, whenever a tokenized track is streamed, purchased, or remixed, the payments are made in real-time to rights owners based on a defined split. 

It removes the lag and obscurity of the classic royalty transaction method and instead lets creators get their payments instantly. So far, Suede AI has sent more than a million dollars to artists on the Solana, Base, and LayerZero chains.

Kinto Integration and Next Steps

Kinto modular exchange provides low costs, high-throughput trading, and elastic liquidity pools of music tokens. The fans can buy fractional ownership of the tracks, stake their tokens to support upcoming artists, and vote in the governance proposals.

Kinto and Suede AI will partner with a series of events and workshops where no prior knowledge is required and artists can learn how to utilize AI composition tools, deploy smart contracts, and grow a community—a sequence of events and workshops that will be collectively known as a Create 2 Earn.

The first users will be invited to receive promotional income and get exclusive access to music drops.

Removing any problems in the music business, both Kinto and Suede AI will achieve their goal by interconnecting their platforms as a scalable trading infrastructure and a transparent, AI-powered music ecosystem to create a digital music environment that relies on fairness and innovation through community involvement.

Finding the best altcoins to buy means looking beyond hype to projects with real potential. BlockDAG, SUI, Algorand (ALGO), and Stellar (XLM) each offer something unique. BlockDAG is moving fast with its upcoming GLOBAL LAUNCH release and a $333 million presale that sets the stage for growth, especially with its limited entry price at $0.0016 until August 11. 

SUI powers scalable DeFi and smart contracts. ALGO is known for its low-cost, green transactions. Stellar (XLM) shines for quick cross-border payments. Each trades well below $1, giving more room to grow. Still, competition and changing regulations remain factors to watch.

1. BlockDAG: Low Entry Price Live Ahead of GLOBAL LAUNCH Release

BlockDAG stands out as one of the best altcoins to buy right now because its presale is closing in fast, giving buyers a rare chance to lock in an exceptionally low entry point. So far, BlockDAG (BDAG) has raised over $333 million in its presale, sold more than 23.6 billion coins, and over 18,392 miners.

What makes this more urgent is that the price remains frozen at $0.0016 only until August 11, right before its GLOBAL LAUNCH release. After that, the launch price is projected at $0.05, allowing early holders to capture a potential 3,025% ROI. Unlike many Layer 1s, BlockDAG’s directed acyclic graph structure allows for ultra-fast transaction speeds and scalable network growth without the bottlenecks seen in traditional blockchains.

The project has also attracted partnerships across real-world industries, from digital payments to sports fan engagement, which broadens its adoption pipeline. Its coin supply structure stays clear, with a multi-batch presale and fixed pricing that helps buyers see what they’re getting upfront. 

Like any new Layer 1, it still needs to prove broad adoption and stand out from rivals. But with its GLOBAL LAUNCH approaching and ecosystem partnerships expanding, waiting too long could mean missing BlockDAG’s early pricing advantage. For anyone searching for the best altcoins to buy before the next price wave, BlockDAG’s limited window at $0.0016 might be the smartest early move this month.

2. SUI: Building DeFi Apps with Real Upside Potential

SUI keeps expanding its reach in the DeFi and smart contract space, with a price hovering near $0.80, an accessible level for buyers who want real utility. Its scalable architecture and low fees attract developers building new apps, giving the network room to grow. Ongoing upgrades are set to improve throughput, which could bring more projects onboard. 

The network’s supply stays moderate, so inflation doesn’t spike overnight. For anyone comparing options, it’s clear why many rank SUI among the best altcoins to buy for its strong community and developer focus. Tough competition from other smart contract chains remains a challenge, but SUI’s expanding ecosystem keeps it on the radar.

3. Algorand: DeFi Builder with Strong Developer Backing

Algorand (ALGO) remains one of the best altcoins to buy if you want sustainability and real use cases. ALGO is hovering around $0.15, offering an accessible entry. The network is fast, secure, and carbon negative, a plus for green blockchain supporters. Its partnerships with governments and institutions boost credibility, especially in Central Bank Digital Currency projects. 

Supply inflation stays manageable thanks to a structured release schedule. ALGO still faces stiff competition from other efficient chains, but its consistent upgrades and active community keep it competitive. That makes it a clear pick among the best altcoins to buy now.

4. Stellar: Cross-Border Payments That Keep Expanding

Stellar Lumens (XLM) stays popular for buyers who want a proven blockchain focused on cross-border payments. XLM is still trading under $0.10, giving new entrants a chance to buy low. Its network’s fast, low-cost transfers between fiat and crypto have helped secure partnerships with NGOs, payment providers, and financial institutions around the world. 

Stellar’s supply is fixed, so there’s no surprise inflation risk. While XLM faces pressure to expand its institutional reach, its steady technical upgrades and global connections mean it remains one of the best altcoins to buy if you want practical utility and steady use growth in payments.

Key Takeaways

BlockDAG, SUI, Algorand (ALGO), and Stellar (XLM) each have a valid claim to being among the best altcoins to buy this year. BlockDAG’s $333 million presale, limited $0.0016 price, and upcoming GLOBAL LAUNCH give it standout potential for strong returns. 

SUI and ALGO keep delivering real utility in DeFi and sustainable blockchain use, while Stellar stays reliable for cross-border payments. Each has its strengths and some hurdles to clear, but they all deserve a spot on your radar. If you’re after growth and clear use cases, these four remain some of the best altcoins to buy in today’s market.

Bitcoin’s Bollinger Band squeeze to 7.7% signals low volatility and a likely breakout soon.

Historical patterns show most squeezes led to bullish moves, though short pullbacks occurred.

Current consolidation near $70K suggests market energy is building for a directional shift.

Bitcoin’s volatility has dropped to one of its lowest points in the current bull cycle, signaling a period of energy accumulation that may soon give way to a directional breakout. According to on-chain analyst Axel Adler Jr., the spread between the upper and lower Bollinger Bands has narrowed to just 7.7%, as shown in a recent chart published via CryptoQuant.

The Bollinger Bands indicator, widely used to gauge market volatility, compresses when price movement tightens and expands when volatility increases. Adler notes that this particular 7.7% squeeze is below the 9% mark commonly flagged as a volatility alert zone. In past market cycles, similarly low readings have occurred just before price movements.

Currently, we are observing a classic Bollinger Bands squeeze: the range between the upper and lower boundaries has fallen to 7.7% one of the lowest values throughout the entire bull cycle. The decrease in volatility indicates energy accumulation in the market the price is ready… pic.twitter.com/anv5GSzVlU

— Axel Adler Jr (@AxelAdlerJr) July 8, 2025

Data from the current bull cycle identifies six major squeezes of this kind. Four were immediately followed by upward price movement, while the remaining two experienced pullbacks before resuming growth. This historical pattern does not guarantee future outcomes but highlights the statistical relationship between volatility contraction and market activity.

Price Consolidation Near $70K Precedes the Squeeze

Since early 2024, Bitcoin has remained within the upper zone of its broader trading range. The price has held above $60,000, with recent consolidation occurring near $70,000. During this phase, directional conviction has weakened, resulting in reduced price swings and a steady tightening of the Bollinger Bands.

This extended sideways movement suggests that the market may be preparing for a larger move. The current squeeze is not unprecedented, but its depth, falling below the 8% range, makes it when viewed in context with previous market events. Traders and analysts frequently monitor such periods of reduced volatility for early signs of a breakout.

Prior Squeezes Aligned with Major Market Events

Previous instances of narrow Bollinger Band ranges have often coincided with price shifts. In early 2023, an alarming squeeze occurred just before Bitcoin broke above $40,000. A similar pattern was seen in mid-2020, ahead of a prolonged upward trend.

Although the Bollinger Band squeeze is not ultimately directional, the trend is upwards meaning the bull breakout is likely statistically. However, the short-term consolidation cannot be ruled out before the relevant price shift takes place.

Currently, the market is still in an expectation stage, and traders are paying keen attention to the technical indicators and direction of the market. The 7.7% pinch is a useful technical move, which could plot the short-term Bitcoin charge.

XRP remains one of the most talked-about assets in the market, with its XRP price analysis suggesting a possible large upside if regulatory and banking breakthroughs continue. At the same time, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has surprised traders yet again, as its trading volume spikes and community strength keep it in the conversation for top memecoins today.

But another contender is rising above the noise: BlockDAG (BDAG). This project is not just stacking up numbers. It has already raised a massive $333 million in presale, sold more than 23.6 billion coins and 18k+ miners so far. What truly makes BlockDAG stand out is its bold move into real-world adoption. 

Its new partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves and Seattle Orcas bring blockchain into US sports. This is exactly why the best crypto coins to buy today need more than hype. BlockDAG is showing it can combine powerful technology with real connections that people want.

XRP Shows Strength but Needs Regulatory Wins

The XRP price analysis shows that Ripple’s token continues to hold investor attention thanks to its lightning-fast transaction speeds and low costs, making it ideal for payments. Its recent developments, such as discussions about securing a U.S. banking license, could help it gain wider institutional support.

However, XRP still faces regulatory headwinds in certain jurisdictions that could delay mass adoption. The community remains optimistic, especially if new partnerships with banks unlock broader usage, potentially driving the XRP price higher.

Shiba Inu Rides High on Surging Trading Volume

Shiba Inu (SHIB) continues to surprise critics with its explosive trading activity. Recent reports highlight SHIB’s trading volume once again breaking into the “trillionaire club,” a feat that cements its place among memecoins for high-risk, high-reward traders.

Much of SHIB’s appeal lies in its massive community support and meme coin status, which fuels spikes in price action. While SHIB doesn’t yet boast a major utility like XRP, its strong brand and trading interest keep it relevant. However, scalability remains a question, as increased transaction volumes can stress its network during peak times. Still, SHIB proves it can defy odds with each surge in trading volume.

BlockDAG’s Sports Partnerships Drive Real-World Adoption

BlockDAG has positioned itself as more than just a presale hype story. Its partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves and Seattle Orcas are proof that its technology is designed for practical use and impact.

As the Official Blockchain Partner of the Seattle Orcas, BlockDAG plans to transform cricket fan engagement. This includes co-branded social media, behind-the-scenes player content, and blockchain-powered digital collectibles like NFTs and fan tokens. Considering cricket’s 2.5 billion global fans, this opens up massive potential for BlockDAG’s adoption outside crypto circles.

The Seawolves partnership doubles down on this strategy. BlockDAG will boost community involvement through regular co-branded content and interactive experiences. Fans will get blockchain-secured digital memorabilia and player-driven stories, adding trust and transparency to their engagement.

These partnerships highlight how BlockDAG’s technology can handle scalability and security while delivering utility far beyond basic transactions. With its $333 million presale, 23.6 billion coins and over 18,392 miners already sold, its roadmap looks solid. 

The current $0.0016 price, locked until August 11, and 3,025% projected ROI to the $0.05 launch make it hard to ignore for anyone seeking the best crypto coins to buy today. BlockDAG shows it can deliver practical uses and real connections that keep communities engaged.

Wrapping It Up

XRP’s price analysis shows it remains strong due to its speed and banking potential, although regulatory clarity is key for further growth. Shiba Inu’s soaring trading volume proves it still attracts massive attention, despite scalability concerns.

BlockDAG, however, goes beyond trends by delivering genuine use cases through partnerships with the Seattle Seawolves and Seattle Orcas. Its presale dominance, sports-driven community reach, and game-changing blockchain utility put it ahead of many contenders. 

With a locked launch price of $0.05 and a chance to secure coins at just $0.0016 for a limited time, BlockDAG gives early supporters a clear reason to stay engaged. Anyone watching for the best crypto coins to buy today should keep an eye on BlockDAG’s next moves.

The meme coin scene is no stranger to overnight sensations. From Dogecoin to Shiba Inu to PEPE, each has had its time in the spotlight. But what if the next crypto moonshot isn’t just another meme? What if it’s a meme coin with real Layer 2 blockchain utility, lightning-fast transactions, and a tokenomics model that’s built to explode?  That’s precisely the question Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is forcing the crypto world to ask. And right now, as the presale inches toward completion and deep-pocketed investors stack their bags, the real buzz is this: Can LILPEPE hit $3 by early 2026?

Stage 4 Presale Frenzy: 130% Gains Before Launch

LILPEPE is currently in Stage 4 of its presale, with each token going for $0.0013. Over 3.07 billion have already been sold, raising more than $3.6 million—that’s 82.09% of the round filled in under 5 days. Once 100% is hit, the price automatically jumps to $0.0014, closing in on the confirmed launch price of $0.003. That means those who buy at the current price will lock in a 130.76% profit on day one of listing. And given the rate at which tokens are being snatched up, the opportunity is closing fast. Retail buyers are piling in—but they’re not the only ones.

Whale Accumulation Signals Confidence

It’s not just crypto enthusiasts popping in. Major whale wallets have begun accumulating LILPEPE, with some scooping millions worth of tokens ahead of the next price jump. According to data from AInvest, the buying pressure from deep-pocketed investors is a sign that institutional-level players are betting on LILPEPE’s long-term moonshot.

These aren’t quick-flip speculators—they’re calculated investors expecting not just a meme pump but a Layer 2-backed explosion. And they’re not shy about it. This has created a massive FOMO wave that’s cascading across the crypto community.

Price Prediction: $0.837 by Q3 2025 and $3 by Early 2026?

Crypto analysts are eyeing LILPEPE as the meme coin that could do the unthinkable. Projections shared in IndiaTimes indicate that LILPEPE could reach an all-time high (ATH) of $0.837 by Q3 2025, representing a staggering 64,284% increase from today’s price. That’s 643x your money, and it doesn’t stop there.

Other analysts believe that if adoption, Layer 2 rollout, exchange listings, and community growth continue at this pace, $3 per token by early 2026 could be more than just a wild dream. From the current price of $0.0013, that would equate to a 2,307x gain—turning a mere $1,000 investment into a mind-blowing $2.3 million.

$770,000 Giveaway Supercharges Community Hype 

LILPEPE is also pouring gas on its fire with an insane $770,000 giveaway—one of the biggest in meme coin history. Ten lucky winners will each get $77,000 worth of LILPEPE tokens through the official 777k campaign. It’s a risky approach that’s attracting thousands of new members, building trust in the community, and preparing for a viral debut. This offer isn’t just for show; it’s getting people involved and encouraging holders to tell their friends, meme hard, and HODL for the moonshot.

Timing Is Everything: Act Before Stage 4 Ends

Those who bought in at $0.0010 during Stage 1 are already sitting on a 30% gain. With the current stage at 82.09% filled, buyers at $0.0013 still have the opportunity to lock in a 130.76% profit before listing. But beyond the listing price, the real potential lies in where LILPEPE could go once it hits centralized exchanges. The next price is $0.0014, and it’s coming fast. Time is running out, and the door to buy in before a potential 2,307x run is closing.

Final Thoughts: Can LILPEPE Hit $3?

Let’s be real—$3 sounds ambitious. But with the combination of whale interest, a nearly sold-out presale, a Layer 2 blockchain backbone, and a roadmap that merges meme culture with real utility, LILPEPE might just pull off what few meme coins ever could. PEPE made history in 2023. SHIB changed lives in 2021. But if the current momentum is any indication, LILPEPE is about to break every chart and rewrite what’s possible in meme coin investing. The question isn’t whether LILPEPE can hit $3. It’s whether you’ll already be holding when it does.

Bitcoin ($BTC) ecosystem is going through a cautious phase in terms of mining. In this respect, the data from Sentora, which was formerly called IntoTheBlock, reveals that the percentage of Bitcoin miners’ cumulative on-chain volume has plunged to multi-year low. The DeFi analytics platform took to its official social media account to disclose the current dip in the on-chain volume of $BTC miners.

The percentage of on-chain volume belonging to Bitcoin miners is at multi-year lows!Bitcoin miners currently make up ~3.3% of on-chain volume, the lowest since November of 2022 pic.twitter.com/PMloKxBes5

$BTC Miner Volume Touches Multi-Year Lows Amid Surging Price Levels

The on-chain data points out that the on-chain transfer volume of Bitcoin ($BTC) miners has plummeted to just 3.3% (was over 30% in 2019). This underscores the lowest level since 2022’s November. Hence, this massive decline in the miner volume has raised the eyebrows of the market participants. Interestingly, this development takes place at a time when Bitcoin is near its all-time high (ATH) in price.

At the moment, the flagship crypto asset is changing hands around $108K, considerably closer to the all-time high of $110K. Such increased prices often persuade miners to increase their activity as well as selling. However, the present trends are raising caution, due to a shift in the overall Bitcoin miner behavior.

Trend Highlights Institutional Dominance, Industrialized Mining, and Decreased Selling Pressure

As per Sentora, irrespective of the surging price levels of the flagship cryptocurrency, the multi-year lows in miner volume raise apprehensions. The key factors behind this development include the dominance of institutions and long-term holders on the trading activity, decreased selling pressure, and the industrialization of mining. Keeping this in view, the market analysts and onlookers will keenly watch for the continuation of this trend or a reversal in it.

Amid the ongoing price consolidation across the wider crypto market, a Fartcoin whale has shifted his focus to Solana (SOL).

Today, July 8, 2025, market analyst Onchain Lens reported a post on X, revealing that a Fartcoin’s major investor made a significant move as he sold 1.459 million FARTCOIN tokens for 10,509 SOL worth $1.57 million.

The Whale Cashes Out Fartcoin Profit

This trading showcases a substantial cash-out event by the major investor in the Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) meme coin market.

According to the data, the prominent trader placed a sale of 1.459 million FARTCOIN tokens for 10,509 SOL worth $1.57 million. The investor went ahead and deposited the profit (in Solana tokens) into Binance, hinting at an intention to either cash out the SOL coins into fiat money or engage in further investment activities on-chain.  

The investor had bought these FARTCOIN tokens three months ago at a price of $606,000, as reported by the data. Today’s sales enabled him to earn a whopping profit of $963,000, showing efficient market timing and Fartcoin’s incredible profit capability.

While the sales of these massive Fartcoin tokens earned the whale significant profits, this dumping activity is likely to cause the asset’s price to fall. Such a huge selling event could cause anxiety among Fartcoin small investors, triggering further selling pressure as they consider it as a sign of decreasing confidence in the meme coin.

FARTCOIN Price Updates

The investor’s sale was strategic as it happened at a time when Fartcoin is experiencing price consolidations noted over the past week. Its price has been down 8.6% and 2.5% over the last 24 hours and seven days, respectively, placing its value currently at $1.08.    

The meme coin is currently trading in a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating the asset is witnessing a correction period where both sellers and buyers are in equilibrium, leading to a pause in the asset’s particular movement.

Fartcoin Open Interest surged by 0.11%.

Despite the pause, Open Interest (OI) metrics from Coinglass show Fartcoin is preparing for a looming bullish momentum soon. Over the past 24 hours, the asset’s OI recorded a 0.11% increase, indicating derivatives traders are bullish on the asset and are currently buying premiums, positioning themselves for a potential price rise in the coming days.

In this respect, $SNL has jumped by 4736.35% to reach $0.0000002853. Additionally, $FTW has recorded a 3589.53% rise, gaining the $0.0000001287 mark.

Nonetheless, the U.S. SEC has asked for public feedback over Solana ($SOL) ETF of Fidelity, further delaying the approval of the ETF. On the other hand, the Truth Social Ethereum ($ETH) and Bitcoin ($BTC) ETFs of Trump have received acknowledgment from the SEC.

In today’s unpredictable crypto market, many XRP and Ethereum holders are quietly stepping back from constant trading and starting to rethink how they manage their assets.

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has sent shockwaves through the entire financial market with the latest announcement. As per Elon Musk, he will introduce a new political party named “American Party,” triggering a notable reaction from the crypto sector, while $TSLA has also plunged. In this respect, the current week marked a considerable shift in the financial sphere.

Elon Musk Declares Formation of ‘American Party,’ Pushing $TSLA Down by 7%

Particularly, after Musk’s announcement of a unique party, a considerable 7% dip has taken place in the value of $TSLA within hours. As a result of this, nearly $15B has been drained from the net worth of Musk in just one day. At the moment, he has an estimated $391B, which is a significant value, yet minimized by the billionaire entrepreneur’s decision that influenced the analysts and investors alike.

In addition to this, the wider crypto market also responded to this development because of concerns raised by many reasons. These reasons include a potential fallout with the U.S. President Donald Trump, likely enhanced regulatory scrutiny, and more.

The market onlookers think that Musk’s latest political identity could potentially inspire followers, but in the case of Wall Street, it appears relatively like strategic disarray. Specifically, the key crypto assets that witnessed surges after Musk’s announcement include Bitcoin ($BTC), Dogecoin ($DOGE), and Toncoin ($TON).

Trump Categorizes Musk’s Announcement as ‘Ridiculous’

On the other hand, Trump has categorized Musk’s new declaration as a ridiculous proposition. Later on, the U.S. President expressed sadness at Musk’s movement “off the rails.” Additionally, as per the FEC, any party that intends to take part in the federal elections must register with the commission and follow some rules. In this respect, an exclusive party can do this after the expenditure or collection of money to certain extent in relation to a federal election.

Overall, the declaration of launching a new political party has been considerably impactful for crypto and Tesla. In this respect, $TSLA’s 7% dip denotes a noteworthy decline in Elon Musk’s net worth. However, the analysts and market participants will closely observe whether Elon Musk’s proposition, that “American Party” will support Bitcoin, fulfills the expectations or not.

XStocksFi, a trading platform that tokenizes real-world (RWA) stocks, has announced a strategic collaboration with Pyth Network, a decentralized oracle platform.

XStocksFi is a digital platform that converts real-world stocks into digital tokens on the Solana blockchain for trading. On the other hand, Pyth Network is a decentralized oracle solution that offers real-time pricing data for assets (like crypto, commodities, and equities) on-chain.

This alliance represents a crucial move to connect TradFi with the decentralized finance landscape, aiming to make xStocksFi’s tokenized stocks accessible and cost-effective through the partnership with Pyth Network.

— xStocks (@xStocksFi) July 7, 2025

XStocksFi Taps Pyth for Robust Pricing Data

Based on this partnership, xStocksFi leverages Pyth’s oracle solution to ensure precise and real-time pricing data for tokenized stocks it provides to investors. In this case, Pyth’s price feeds play an essential role in maintaining coherence and trustworthiness of xStocksFi’s tokenized assets that are pegged 1:1 by real-world stocks.

The partnership is further set to build a competitive pricing in the xStocksFi’s trading network through Pyth Express Relay, signalling greater integration. The integration of this tool (the Pyth Express Relay) enhances transaction efficiency and market liquidity on xStocksFi’s trading system.

Also, this Pyth Express Relay is crucial as it brings MEV-free transactions to xStocksFi’s trading platform. This improves xStocksFi’s commitment to offering an efficient and secure tokenized asset trading experience that passes down income to investors.

The presence of this tool means that xStocksFi would have decreased transaction costs and competitive spreads for investors of its tokenized stocks.

Lastly, this collaboration enabled Pyth Network to join the xStocksFi Alliance, an association that involves major participants such as Jupiter, Raydium, and Chainlink. This association encourages a teamwork spirit to develop a transparent, liquid market for RWAs on-chain.

Accelerating Decentralized Assets Adoption

The collaboration between the two firms is crucial for the growth of the Web3 landscape, as it aims to widen the accessibility of investment markets.

By tokenizing conventional stocks and making them accessible on blockchain networks, xStocksFi’s trading platform, driven by Pyth, immensely reduces hurdles hindering worldwide users from investing in equities. This partnership aims to create a fair and inclusive investment system where people can invest in prominent equities without traditional obstacles and country-specific limitations.

The incorporation of Pyth Express Relay means enhanced market effectiveness and decreased transaction costs on xStocksFi. This integration makes trading xStocksFi’s tokenized assets more affordable and attractive compared to conventional investment assets.

Finally, this alliance highlights a further move to connect TradFi with DeFi. XStocksFi’s commitment to bringing RWAs (like equities) onto blockchain with Pyth’s powerful price feeds lays the foundation for advanced connection and composability between these two investment worlds.
