As XRP stabilizes around $2.70 and the broader crypto market catches its breath, a wave of smaller altcoins is stealing the spotlight, led by a 95.3% surge in Kyber Network Crystal (KNC).

Kyber Network’s explosive rally follows the late-May launch of its crosschain platform, with CEO Victor Tran touting the team’s long-term resilience and development consistency. The altcoin’s breakout underscores a broader trend of niche tokens outperforming in a sideways market, with Altcoin and meme token Kori also seeing triple-digit gains over the past week.

But while some projects cite platform launches and teasers as catalysts, others appear to ride on hype alone—raising questions about sustainability as traders chase momentum.

‘Everyone keeps working hard‘

Kyber Network Crystal, over the last 24 hours, reached $0.6118 from a low of $0.3131. The surge comes months after Kyber Network launched its KyberSwap Crosschain platform in late May.

Tran took to X to address the token’s notable performance. He also posted a screenshot of the surge alongside a message emphasizing the team’s dedication.

“Nothing changed, everyone keeps working hard as we have been for 8 years. We want to prove OG teams will win in the long run. @KyberNetwork”

This statement appears to position Kyber Network as a veteran project that has weathered multiple market cycles. He also suggested that sustained development and team commitment are finally being recognized by the market.

Second on the top gainers list is Altcoin which has surged 86.8% over the past 24 hours, reaching $0.08106 from $0.03835. The project has also posted a cryptic announcement teasing developments for next week.

While details remain scarce, such forward-looking statements often drive speculative buying as traders position ahead of potential news.

However, ALT has faced technical issues with price tracking. The project’s X account addressed concerns about incorrect price displays: “Hey coingecko, please correct the price for $ALT on your platform. You’re displaying the price of the wrong ALT token, which is completely unrelated to us and it’s impacting the community.”

Third on the list is Kori, which has climbed 68.5% in the last 24 hours, trading at $0.04098 from $0.02285. The meme coin has shown remarkable longer-term performance, surging over 1,600% in the last 30 days and 485% in the past week.

Despite the price action, there haven’t been any notable developments from the project that would explain such massive gains. The token has been trending on X, which appears to be the primary driver behind its momentum.

The current altcoin surge occurs against a backdrop of market stabilization. XRP (XRP) has cooled down from its recent rally and is now trading in the $2.7 range, while Solana (SOL) maintains its position around $160.

However, traders should approach these high-flying tokens with caution. While KNC has clear catalysts in the form of product launches and team statements, tokens like KORI appear to be driven primarily by social media hype without fundamental backing.

July 14, 2025, marks the beginning of Crypto Week in D.C. The event signals that the administration continues its work on regulating (and sometimes deregulating) the crypto space. The results of the first half of 2025 indicate little to no easy wins for the industry, but some advances in place can’t be ignored.

Rare wins

One of the promises Trump made during his campaign was a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the creator of the Silk Road marketplace. Charged with engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, money laundering, and drug trafficking, he was sentenced to life in prison in 2013 following his arrest in Manhattan.

Ulbricht was among the first to create a high-scale business accepting Bitcoin, playing a major role in Bitcoin’s grassroots adoption.

While Ulbricht admitted his brainchild turned out to be harmful—as it facilitated fatal overdoses for many—he remained a symbolic hero for many early bitcoiners who believed 12 years served in prison was enough to pay for his crimes.

Indeed, at the end of his first day in office, Trump signed a full, unconventional pardon for Ross, a move lauded by the crypto community.

Ross wasn’t the only one who could breathe a sigh of relief thanks to the new administration. BitMEX co-founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, and Samuel Reed, charged with financial crimes, were pardoned too. Now, the developers of Bitcoin mixers accused of money laundering hope for a more favorable outcome, as they didn’t launder money and only created the tool used by criminals and law-abiding citizens. The pardon of early Bitcoin evangelist Roger Ver, charged with tax fraud, was reportedly discussed by Elon Musk while serving in the Department of Government Efficiency. Still, it doesn’t appear that Ver’s fate is significant for the POTUS.

Once anti-crypto Gary Gensler resigned from his position as chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission following Trump’s inauguration, the SEC became one of the most crypto-friendly agencies in the U.S. The agency used a combination of executive actions and guidance to create a smoother path for U.S. cryptocurrency businesses to develop in a loose and predictable legal environment. More than that, the SEC welcomed crypto business leaders and experts to help shape new industry rules.

A Crypto Task Force created in January 2025 is working to provide U.S. crypto entrepreneurs and innovators with a much-needed framework. Names like Hester Peirce, Mark Uyeda, and Paul S. Atkins are associated with the positive shift in the legal status of cryptocurrency. The old-fashioned application of securities laws to cryptocurrencies caused significant trouble for the industry, an approach left behind in 2025. The memecoins’ status changed to “collectibles,” paving the way for less restrictive business in that sector.

— Bitcoin Magazine (@BitcoinMagazine) February 11, 2025

The SEC in 2025 dropped several enforcement actions started during the Gensler era. It discontinued legal battles with Coinbase, Ripple, and other key industry players.

Challenges and disappointments

Another of Trump’s campaign promises was the creation of a Bitcoin stockpile, which echoed Sen. Cynthia Lummis’ plan to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.

Many failed to realize how different these two plans were. Trump’s vision, which materialized on March 6, 2025, via executive order, meant the creation of a Bitcoin stockpile composed of seized bitcoins held by the U.S. government (around 200,000 BTC). The reserve may be topped up through budget-neutral methods.

Lummis’ plan (and respective bill) proposed the U.S. purchase one million bitcoins over five years. The crypto community lauded this plan, but it did not come to fruition. Instead, Trump’s version was seen as a disappointment by some, as it simply rebranded seized bitcoins as a “reserve.”

So government cant buy but only steal crypto 🤔

On top of that, Trump’s order stipulated that an audit of U.S. Bitcoin holdings would be carried out. The audit was due in April, but there have been no updates on the results.

Trump opposed work on central bank digital currencies, citing privacy concerns and expressing preference for stablecoins issued by private companies rather than government institutions. However, he did emphasize the need for clearer regulation of stablecoins. The Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act, or GENIUS Act, is intended to shape this framework. Some believed it would be adopted in the spring, but the legislation took longer to finalize.

Although the GENIUS Act was conceived as a bipartisan effort, during House discussions, Democrats suddenly pushed to include clauses restricting sitting U.S. presidents and other top officials and their families from participating in the cryptocurrency business. While they did not succeed, the bill’s adoption was delayed.

The president’s family’s involvement in the crypto industry is a concern shared by both Trump’s critics and some supporters. Trump, his wife Melania, and his sons Eric and Donald are reportedly behind ventures such as World Liberty Finance, memecoins Official Trump and Melania, the mining company American Bitcoin, and other ventures, using their influence as a privilege in the sector. Bloomberg estimates that Trump’s crypto gains reach $620 million at a minimum. Democrats continue their efforts to dismantle Trump’s crypto empire.

How have the Trump Administration’s efforts in crypto regulations already influenced the industry?

According to Carter Razink, co-founder of the company building stablecoin-backed rewards Spree Finance, the current influence can be described as having both hard and soft impacts. The hard impact is pro-crypto legislation such as the GENIUS Act, which gives stablecoins a definitive, trillion-dollar regulatory runway. The soft impact is that founders no longer fear “Operation Chokepoint 2.0”-style debanking—building the future of finance on U.S. soil now feels safe and even encouraged.

Raznik says:

“Together, these forces recalibrate the risk profile for digital-asset startups and tilt the scales back toward American innovation. As history shows, when the U.S. hosts the tech giants, it gains disproportionate geopolitical clout. Pairing that technology scale with financial leverage positions America to dominate the next wave of financial technology.

We’re already seeing this unfold at Spree Finance, where on-chain stablecoins power rewards programs that work and feel like airline miles or credit card points. The more usable and well-regulated these stablecoins become, the more they’ll bridge traditional finance and the next generation of digital money.”

Dogecoin has flipped market structure bullish with a strong engulfing candle and volume spike. Price now approaches high time frame resistance, where a correction or breakout will determine the next trend leg.

Dogecoin (DOGE) has shifted its market structure decisively to the upside after breaking above its high time frame support at $0.15, a level that previously marked the base of its range. Following a bullish engulfing candle and strong volume expansion, price reclaimed the point of control (POC) and triggered a breakout, pushing into higher territory. As DOGE approaches a major resistance cluster, the next few sessions will be pivotal in determining whether the trend accelerates or cools off for a healthy pullback.

Key Technical Points

Bullish Market Structure Break: Confirmed by engulfing candle and new high.

$0.15 Support Reclaimed: Value area low acted as the key reversal zone.

Current Resistance at $0.22–$0.24: In confluence with value area high and 0.618 Fibonacci.

Next Upside Target at $0.32: Fibonacci extension and prior structural resistance.

DOGEUSDT (1D) Chart, Source: TradingView

Dogecoin’s recent breakout is technically significant. After weeks of consolidation and failed rallies, price action decisively broke above the $0.15 high time frame support, reclaiming both the POC and establishing a new higher high, effectively flipping market structure bullish. The move was accompanied by strong volume, adding credibility to the rally and suggesting genuine buyer interest rather than a simple short squeeze or anomaly.

Currently, DOGE is approaching a well-defined resistance zone between $0.22 and $0.24, where the value area high and the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level from the prior downtrend converge. This makes the area a strong confluence zone where a short-term rejection is technically healthy, especially if followed by the formation of a higher low, a key component of a sustainable bullish trend.

Should price reject here, traders should watch for support tests around prior breakout levels and ensure volume remains steady. This would preserve structure while allowing price action to reset. However, if price breaks above the $0.24 resistance with strong volume continuation, the next expansion target lies at $0.32, which aligns with a key Fibonacci level and a historical price ceiling.

Overall, the trend has now shifted bullish. Whether it consolidates or continues upward in the short term, the breakout from $0.15 and structure confirmation sets the stage for further upside.

What to expect in the coming price action

Dogecoin is now in a bullish phase. A correction from $0.22–$0.24 is likely but healthy. If this resistance breaks with volume, a sharp move toward $0.32 becomes the high-probability scenario.

The trading platform is facing mounting regulatory pressure, landing under the microscope of another watchdog just days after a separate investigation.

According to a Thursday press release, the Florida Attorney General’s office has launched an investigation into Robinhood’s cryptocurrency business. 

Central to the probe are allegations that the company used deceptive marketing tactics to mislead users about trading costs, “falsely promoting” its trading platform as the “least expensive way to purchase crypto.” 

Authorities spotlighted Robinhood’s payment-for-order-flow (PFOF) model. Instead of charging users trading fees, Robinhood routes orders to third-party market makers, who pay the platform for the right to fill those trades. 

While this model enables commission-free trading on the surface, the AG’s office argues that it may result in less favorable execution prices for customers, making it more expensive overall than rival platforms offering all-in pricing.

“Robinhood has long claimed to be the best bargain, but we believe those representations were deceptive,” said Attorney General James Uthmeier in the statement, emphasizing that investors deserve full transparency when buying and selling digital assets.

Uthmeier also noted that “crypto is a vital component of Florida’s financial future,” and framed the enforcement action as aligned with President Trump’s broader push to advance the U.S. crypto market.

As part of the probe, the AG’s office has issued a subpoena demanding Robinhood to turn over marketing materials, internal communications, pricing data, user disclosures, and employee records related to crypto operations in Florida. The company has until July 31 to comply.

The latest case marks the second major regulatory challenge for Robinhood’s crypto unit in just over a week. Earlier, on July 7, 2025, European authorities launched a separate probe into Robinhood’s tokenized stock offerings after backlash from companies like OpenAI, which denied authorizing its shares to be marketed via the platform.

Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has since defended the tokenization model, saying it opens access to private equity markets and has attracted interest from more firms. Tenev also touted the firm’s compliance practices, pointing to ongoing talks with regulators in the US and other markets as the firm looks to expand access to its new offerings.

However, with regulators now circling, Robinhood faces mounting scrutiny that could complicate its expansion plans.

The blockchain industry has been waiting for its “iPhone moment”, a product so intuitive, it pulls in mainstream users. With AutoTasks, EASE Protocol may have just delivered it.

In a press release shared with crypto.news on July 10, EASE Protocol, the blockchain platform specializing in enterprise and government-grade solutions, announced the launch of AutoTasks, a no-code toolkit designed to simplify smart contract deployment to a near-instant process.

Accessible through the EASE SuperApp, AutoTasks allows users to configure and launch secure, pre-audited contracts without writing a single line of code. The tool, built around a fill-in-the-blanks Setup Wizard, supports a broad range of automated blockchain functions, from payment splitting and governance setup to IP-protected digital asset releases, all operable by non-technical users in under a minute.

For a technology stack that’s long been lauded for its promise but criticized for its complexity, this development marks a notable shift. While other platforms have pitched “low-code” solutions or developer-centric frameworks, EASE’s approach skips the gatekeeping entirely.

According to Douglas Horn, the architect of EASE Protocol, AutoTasks represents a fundamental shift in who gets to use blockchain.

“AutoTasks look at them (smart contracts) from a user standpoint: They can hit a button and have a task handled for them automatically, without the fear of code errors or AI agent hallucinations. AutoTasks are powerful digital assistants made safe and easy for everyone,” Horn stated.

The implications reach beyond crypto natives: by removing cognitive and technical hurdles, AutoTasks reframes smart contracts not as niche infrastructure, but as practical utilities anyone can wield, without needing to understand Solidity, gas mechanics, or the nuances of wallet integration.

EASE’s playbook feels familiar, and that’s the point. A decade ago, you needed to understand HTML just to build a basic website. Then came drag-and-drop tools that let anyone launch a professional site in minutes.

Now, blockchain is hitting that same inflection point. AutoTasks isn’t just simplifying smart contracts, the tool is attempting to drag them out of dev forums and into the real world. Imagine a local bakery setting up loyalty points on-chain, or an indie musician protecting their royalties without hiring a blockchain consultant. That’s the unexciting but transformative potential here.

Nansen built tools to track blockchain activity. Now, it’s helping secure one. By validating Caldera’s Metalayer, the analytics leader is putting its reputation and rewards on the line for a more connected modular future.

According to a press release shared with crypto.news on July 10, Nansen will operate as a validator on Caldera’s Metalayer, an interoperability solution designed to stitch together fragmented blockchains.

The move marks a strategic pivot for the analytics giant, known for dissecting on-chain data rather than participating directly in network security. By validating transactions on Metalayer, Nansen aims to reinforce decentralization while funneling staking rewards back into ecosystem development, including grants for builders and improved data accessibility, the company said.

A new kind of validator is stepping into the stack

Nansen’s shift from observer to operator marks a subtle but significant evolution in the modular blockchain narrative. While analytics firms typically sit on the sidelines, monitoring networks rather than securing them, Nansen is betting that the next phase of blockchain evolution requires deeper integration.

By running a validator node themselves, Nansen isn’t just observing Metalayer’s growth, it’s helping shape it. At the same time, the company plans to pipe those crucial real-time insights straight back to developers. It’s a give-and-take that might just rewrite the rules for how data firms interact with modular networks.”.

The partnership also addresses one of the most persistent pain points in the rollup boom: fragmentation. As teams spin up custom chains to optimize for speed or cost, liquidity and user activity often get siloed across incompatible environments.

Metalayer’s interoperability framework aims to bridge these gaps, and Nansen’s validator role ensures that these connections remain transparent.

 “Running a validator on Caldera is a commitment to the kind of infrastructure we believe the industry needs: modular, transparent, and driven by real use,” said Alex Svanevik, CEO of Nansen. “We’ve always believed that data is most powerful when it leads to insight and action. By joining the Metalayer network, we’re helping to secure the next generation of rollups while giving developers and users the tools to see what’s happening under the hood in real time.”

For Caldera, the collaboration is a validation of its approach to modular design. CEO Matt Katz emphasized that Nansen’s participation isn’t just about adding another node to the network; it’s about aligning infrastructure with intelligence.

The long-term implications could extend beyond these two players. If Nansen’s model proves successful, other analytics providers may follow suit, turning validators into more than just transaction processors. They could become active participants in the data economy they were built to observe.

Meanwhile, developers working on Caldera-powered rollups gain a rare advantage: a network where infrastructure performance and user behavior are visible in the same dashboard.

U.K.-based firm TAO Alpha PLC appoints internet personality and BTC advocate Mark Moss as its Chief Bitcoin Strategist to establish its a BTC treasury as part of its rebranding.

According to a press release received by crypto.news, the publicly listed artificial intelligence and infrastructure company is planning to rebrand itself as Satsuma Technology. As part of this rebranding effort, the company will establish its own Bitcoin (BTC) treasury strategy under the guidance of Mark Moss.

Mark Moss will be appointed as the company’s Chief Bitcoin Strategist starting from August 1, 2025. Around the same time, TAO Alpha also plans to close its private investor offering of shares for U.K and U.S. investors, which began on June 24 and June 27 respectively.

The Chief Bitcoin Strategist will work together with the Board of Directors to optimize the company’s Bitcoin-focused treasury, ensuring that it is able to accelerate and efficiently perform to the benefit of the company’s core business. The press release details ways this can be achieved, including raising “non-dilutive” capital and generating BTC yield through the treasury.

The airline is teaming up with the crypto exchange to introduce crypto payments in travel, aiming to meet growing customer demand for digital asset options.

According to a July 9 announcement, Emirates has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Crypto.com to integrate digital payments into its services. The rollout will begin with Crypto.com Pay, allowing customers to use cryptocurrency as a payment option for flights and other transactions.

The agreement was formalized in Dubai, witnessed by Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and CEO of Emirates Airline & Group. It was signed by Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer, and Mohammed Al Hakim, President of Crypto.com’s UAE operations.

Emirates stated that the move reflects its broader digital strategy and goal of offering flexible payment options for customers. The partnership builds on its earlier interest in crypto payments dating back to 2022, when COO Adel Ahmed Al-Redha had floated plans to accept Bitcoin (BTC) shortly after the UAE introduced crypto-friendly regulations.

Commenting on the deal, Emirates’ Deputy President and Chief Commercial Officer Adnan Kazim said the airline sees growing demand and momentum around crypto as a legitimate payment method, especially among tech-driven travelers.

“Partnering with Crypto.com to integrate cryptocurrency into our digital payments system reflects Emirates’ commitment to meeting evolving customer preferences, in addition to tapping into younger, tech-savvy customer segments who prefer digital currencies,” he said.

Crypto.com President and COO Eric Anziani added that the partnership marks another step in expanding real-world use cases for crypto payments, and will drive momentum for the broader digital asset industry.

The feature is expected to go live next year, once internal readiness and regulatory approvals are in place. Both Emirates and Crypto.com will also explore leveraging promotional marketing campaigns to create awareness and encourage adoption of this new payment solution.

If completed, Emirates would become one of the first major international airlines to fully integrate crypto into its payment stack.

CRO price staged a powerful rally Tuesday, climbing over 20% after news broke of its inclusion in a proposed Trump Media-backed Blue Chip ETF, sparking renewed bullish momentum for the embattled token.

Cronos (CRO) surged over 20% on Tuesday after Trump Media and Technology Group filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to launch a Blue Chip ETF that includes CRO alongside Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), and Ripple (XRP). Notably, Cronos received a 5% allocation, which is more than Ripple’s 2%. If approved, the ETF will be listed on NYSE Arca and its assets will be custodied by Foris DAX Trust Company, Crypto.com’s custody arm.

The news sparked a sharp breakout, sending CRO price from its July 8 open at $0.081 to an intraday high of $0.10, breaking above a descending trendline and out of the recent consolidation range.

The rally pushed the price through key moving averages and briefly tested a previous swing-high resistance. It also approached the 200-day SMA, now acting as its dynamic resistance.

As of now, CRO price has pulled back slightly, trading around $0.092, just above the horizontal support near $0.089–0.090. This area, which previously acted as resistance in late April – early May, is now being retested as support following the breakout. Holding this level would be bullish, confirming a successful retest and setting up for a potential move back toward the $0.101 (200-day SMA) and $0.105 resistance zone.

In addition to the boost from its inclusion in the Truth Social Blue Chip ETF, CRO price may soon gain further momentum from the potential approval of the Canary Staked CRO ETF, which was filed with the SEC on May 30 and is currently under review.

These bullish catalysts may offer a much-needed respite for CRO holders, following a major blow in March when Cronos voted to reissue 70 billion previously burned CRO tokens. The controversial move drew sharp backlash from the community, raising centralization concerns.

OpenSea has acquired Rally Wallet, a mobile-native crypto wallet startup, in a move aimed at expanding its reach into mobile and token-based trading.

The acquisition was announced on July 8 by Rally co-founder and chief executive officer Chris Maddern, who will now serve as OpenSea’s chief technology officer. Rally co-founder Christine Hall also joins OpenSea’s leadership team.

The Rally team will help develop a reimagined OpenSea Mobile experience, which the company says will become the central hub for onchain activity, spanning non-fungible tokens, memecoins, decentralized finance, and digital assets. While details are still limited, the Rally app will eventually be integrated into OpenSea’s broader product suite.

— OpenSea (@opensea) July 8, 2025

The acquisition aligns with OpenSea’s long-term vision to become the “home of all web3,” moving beyond NFTs to support fungible tokens, yield opportunities, and mobile-first use cases. “We will unlock the unique possibilities created by combining NFTs & tokens, and the opportunities for collectors, creators, and traders that come with that,” said Maddern.

Rally, launched in 2021, is a mobile-first wallet designed to manage NFTs and tokens. It immediately gained popularity for its community-first philosophy and easy-to-use interface. The acquisition is expected to improve OpenSea’s capacity to cater to general users, especially as demand for token-native platforms and integrated mobile experiences rises.

As part of the integration, OpenSea is recognizing Rally’s earliest supporters, the holders of Floor Genesis NFTs. These NFTs were originally issued as access passes to the first private beta builds of Rally’s early app, then named Floor. Holders played a key role in shaping product direction through feedback and testing. 

OpenSea now plans to convert these NFTs into tiered Treasures, special reward tokens within the OpenSea ecosystem designed to acknowledge meaningful user contributions. A snapshot mechanism will be used to facilitate the reward conversion, and eligible holders can use the OpenSea Rewards portal to claim their Treasures.

The new mobile push comes shortly after OpenSea’s May launch of OS2, its upgraded platform that supports trading across 19 blockchains. OS2 includes cross-chain functionality, real-time liquidity aggregation, and support for both NFTs and tokens. A SEA token airdrop is also underway to reward longtime users.

Aptos is trading at the bottom of a multi-month range. With a potential rounded bottom forming and confluence at $14, the current support zone offers a high-reward setup with 250% upside.

Aptos (APT) is currently positioned in what can only be described as a “Max Opportunity” zone—the lower boundary of a high time frame trading range that has held firm for months. Historically, this zone has served as a launchpad for rallies toward the range high and now presents a compelling long setup for both swing traders and long-term investors. The price structure hints at accumulation, and attention is now focused on whether bullish expansion can emerge from this technically significant area.

Key technical points

Major Support at $3.65: Long-term range low aligning with the value area low.

Rounded Bottom Structure Forming: Accumulation pattern supports a reversal narrative.

Upside Target at $14: 0.618 Fibonacci and high time frame resistance aligned, representing a potential 250% rally.

APTUSDT (1D) Chart: Source: TradingView

Aptos is trading near $3.65, the macro range low of a prolonged consolidation phase. Historical interactions with this level have triggered sharp bullish reversals, including a prior rally that extended to the value area high. This reinforces the zone’s significance as both a trade location and structural support.

Current price action suggests a rounded bottom is developing—a classic accumulation pattern that often forms at market lows. Rounded bottoms signal a shift in control from sellers to buyers, as selling pressure fades and demand gradually builds. The longer Aptos consolidates at this level without breaking down, the greater the likelihood of a bullish breakout.

The support zone also aligns with the value area low on the volume profile, indicating high historical trading activity and strong demand. This confluence strengthens the case for this area as a durable floor unless meaningful selling emerges, which has not materialized.

If Aptos confirms this rounded bottom formation and begins to rotate higher, the next key target lies around $14. This level represents the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement from the previous move, a prior swing high, and a major high time frame resistance zone. A move from $3.65 to $14 would mark an approximate 250% rally, offering a compelling risk-to-reward scenario.

What to expect in the coming price action

As long as Aptos holds above the $3.65 value area low, the probability of a bullish breakout remains elevated. Traders should watch for confirmation of the rounded bottom pattern and monitor volume activity as APT attempts a rotation toward the $14 level in the coming weeks.

Could a $70 bet on a frog-themed token turn into $7,000? With its Layer-2 backbone and viral momentum, Little Pepe might just be 2025’s next 100x memecoin breakout.

Table of Contents

Why Little Pepe is no ordinary memecoin

How $70 could become $7,000

Timeline: When could the 100x happen?

The presale opportunity (stage 4 almost filled)

The $777k giveaway is still live

Final thoughts

Every few market cycles, a low-cap token quietly emerges from the shadows, priced at fractions of a cent, often ignored by major players, only to explode into one of the most talked-about assets in crypto. In 2021, it was Shiba Inu. In 2023, it was PEPE. And now, in 2025, Little Pepe (LILPEPE) is primed to be that next big leap.

Currently priced at just $0.0013, this Ethereum-based token is more than just a viral meme; it’s a fully fledged Layer 2 ecosystem designed for scalability, speed, and decentralization. With a clear roadmap and no tax evasion, LILPEPE is poised to transform micro-investments like $70 into potential $7,000 moonshots before the end of the year.

Why Little Pepe is no ordinary memecoin

At first glance, LILPEPE appears to be another frog-themed memecoin. But beneath the memes lies serious infrastructure: a new Layer-2 chain built to scale Ethereum without the bottlenecks. While most meme tokens rely solely on hype, Little Pepe backs up its virality with a blockchain tailor-made for meme culture, featuring zero gas wars, faster transactions, and native support for new meme tokens via its built-in Pump Pad launchpad.

The project’s appeal rests on a few key pillars:

Zero tax on buys and sells: Encourages trading and removes friction.

Anti-sniper bot tech: Levels the playing field for all traders.

Native staking and ecosystem rewards: Incentivize long-term holding.

Dedicated launchpad for new meme tokens: Positions LILPEPE as the base layer for a new meme economy.

This isn’t just speculation, it’s a vision to become the Solana of memes.

How $70 could become $7,000

At the current Stage 4 presale price of $0.0013, a $70 buy-in would net approximately 53,846 LILPEPE tokens.

Now, consider this:

At $0.13 (a 100x increase), that $70 turns into $7,000.

At $0.065 (a 50x run), the cost becomes $ 3,250.

Even a 20x move to $0.026 results in $1,400.

These projections are not just dreams. Tokens like SHIB, DOGE, PEPE, and FLOKI have made similar (and even crazier) gains when their market caps expanded during peak retail hype cycles. What sets LILPEPE apart is that it’s still early, with a market cap under $140 million, while offering actual Layer-2 functionality, a rarity in the meme sector.

Timeline: When could the 100x happen?

A realistic outline of how Little Pepe’s price trajectory could unfold:

Q3 2025: 10x–20x range ($0.013–$0.026)

With the completion of its presale, CEX listings, and Layer-2 mainnet launch during the “BIRTH” roadmap phase, the project could immediately draw explosive attention from influencers, TikTok creators, and Telegram groups. A 10x jump is considered conservative at this stage.

Q4 2025: 50x–100x zone ($0.065–$0.13)

Assuming successful onboarding of new meme projects on the Pump Pad and a wave of viral adoption, the Growth phase kicks in. This could push LILPEPE toward memecoin legend status. If the hype cycle aligns with Ethereum’s broader Layer-2 narrative, $0.13 is firmly on the table, turning every $70 invested today into $7,000+.

The presale opportunity (stage 4 almost filled)

As of now, Stage 4 is 77.72% filled, with over 2.9 billion tokens sold. Priced at $0.0013, this is still below the next presale stage of $0.0014, and miles below the projected listing price of $0.003. Once the presale ends, new buyers will only be able to access LILPEPE on exchanges, likely at a markup, especially if demand spikes during listing week.

To participate:

Visit the official site.

Connect MetaMask or Trust Wallet (ERC-20)

Buy using ETH, USDT, or fiat via on-ramp

Tokens become claimable after the presale ends.

The $777k giveaway is still live

To sweeten the pot, LILPEPE is running a $777,000 giveaway where 10 winners will each receive $77,000 in tokens. Entry is simple: invest a minimum of $100 and complete basic social tasks via the website.

Interested users can join the Telegram group.

Final thoughts

Everyone wants to find the next 100x gem, but few dare to look where the market isn’t fully paying attention. That’s where LILPEPE shines. With its presale price under $0.0015, a Layer 2 tech stack, meme-first branding, and strong tokenomics, this project offers one of the best risk-reward ratios in the cryptocurrency market currently.

Visit the official website to join the presale before it closes.

Ripple chief executive officer Brad Garlinghouse has confirmed he will testify before the U.S. Senate Banking Committee on Wednesday, July 9, 2025.

The Senate Banking Committee will hold its crypto market structure hearing on July 9 and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says he’s “honored to be invited.”

Garlinghouse will testify alongside other top industry figures, with his appearance coming amid notable developments in the U.S. regulatory landscape. The hearing will involve the Banking Committee’s Subcommittee for Digital Assets.

“I am honored to be invited to testify in front of the Senate Banking Committee this Wednesday on the need for passing crypto market structure legislation,” the Ripple CEO noted. “Constructive crypto market structure legislation in the US is imperative in bringing about a new era of innovation and financial opportunity, while protecting consumers.”

Ripple and the U.S. regulatory market

Garlinghouse’s testimony comes as Ripple, the company behind the XRP (XRP) cryptocurrency, RLUSD stablecoin, and the XRP Ledger, looks to move on from a long-standing legal battle that saw a U.S. judge declare XRP not a security.

Ripple Labs also recently withdrew its appeal of the court’s permanent injunction on institutional XRP sales. The court had previously denied the company’s motion for an indicative ruling, filed jointly with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

While this accounts for some of the most recent regulatory related hurdles for Ripple, the company has interacted with U.S. regulators since 2013.  

In addition to the SEC, Ripple has had legal and regulatory interactions with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, and the Financial Stability Oversight Council. The SEC sued Ripple and its top executives in December 2020, a lawsuit that dragged on for nearly five years.

Garlinghouse’s role at Ripple and across the broader digital assets ecosystem makes him a key industry participant at the hearing.

Last month, Senate Banking Chair Tim Scott, Subcommittee on Digital Assets Chair Cynthia Lummis, Senator Thom Tillis, and Senator Bill Hagerty published a set of principles aimed at establishing a comprehensive market structure framework. The hearings will be held in line with these principles, as lawmakers engage with Garlinghouse and other industry leaders.

“Since taking over as Chairman, I’ve led a new approach to digital assets regulation, and we’ve delivered results for the industry and the American people. We have more work to do, and I look forward to building on the success of the GENIUS Act and advancing market structure legislation here in the Senate,” Scott noted.

RICH Miner now lets users mine Bitcoin using XRP, turning idle holdings into daily passive income, no exchanges, no delays, just one-click cloud mining with up to $12,000/day potential.

Table of Contents

From holding to appreciation: XRP is no longer just a payment coin

This revenue growth is mainly due to three factors

Why choose RICH Miner?

How to start mining BTC with XRP

Summary

In the turbulent crypto market, how can people achieve “stable appreciation” of their digital assets? RICH Miner, the world’s leading intelligent cloud mining platform, recently announced a major update: officially supporting users to use Ripple (XRP) to directly participate in Bitcoin (BTC) cloud mining contracts. This innovation not only lowers the threshold for mining but also rapidly increases the daily income level of investors, attracting strong market attention.

From holding to appreciation: XRP is no longer just a payment coin

For a long time, XRP has been regarded as a “settlement coin” for cross-border payment scenarios, rather than a direct mining tool. However, through RICH Miner’s cross-chain computing power bridging technology, users can now directly use XRP to start BTC mining contracts to achieve value conversion between currencies without exchange or cumbersome operations.

The XRP held by users is no longer just an asset reserve, but a “computing power certificate” that can generate actual income.

Investors’ daily income has increased significantly, up to $12,000+/day. Platform data shows that since the launch of the “XRP mining BTC” function, a large number of users have enabled this option. Depending on the combination of different contracts, some high-level investors have achieved a daily net income of more than $12,000 through the BTC contract of the RICH Miner platform.

This revenue growth is mainly due to three factors

High BTC mining returns: Bitcoin, as a mainstream currency, has stable block rewards and value support.

Fast and low-cost XRP on-chain transfers: After transferring to the platform, contracts can be deployed quickly without being affected by Ethereum’s high Gas.

Green energy computing power support: All computing power nodes of RICH Miner are deployed in low-cost green energy areas, reducing user costs and increasing daily returns.

Why choose RICH Miner?

One-click start: Users can just recharge their account with XRP, select the contract, and the platform will automatically execute the mining process.

On-chain contract guarantee: All income records are traceable, verifiable, and 100% transparent.

Green mining mechanism: RICH Miner uses renewable energy to create a low-carbon, environmentally friendly mining system.

Daily settlement, automatic income: Mining income is distributed to user accounts every day, and can be withdrawn or reinvested at any time.

Supported currency expansion: Multiple assets participate in one-stop mining.

In addition to XRP starting BTC mining, RICH Miner also supports users to use the following currencies to participate in other mainstream cloud mining contracts: BTC, DOGE, ETH, LTC, USDT, etc. This mechanism allows “coin hoarders” to truly realize asset appreciation, rather than just “waiting for the price of coins to rise.”

How to start mining BTC with XRP

It only takes 3 steps to get started:

1️. Register an account: Register an account with an email address and receive a $15 reward.

2️. Deposit XRP: Use mainstream wallets such as Coinbase, Binance, etc. to quickly transfer money.

3. Select BTC contract: The platform will automatically convert XRP into an equivalent amount of computing power, start mining, and settle the income daily.

Contract Price Contract duration Daily income Total revenue $100  2 $3  $100.00 + $6 $600  8 $7.20  $500.00 + $57.60 $1,300  13 $17.30  $1300.00 + $221.39 $3,000  17 $42.30  $3000.00 + $719.10 $5,000  24 $75.00  $5000.00 + $1800.00 $12,000  32 $204.00  $12000.00 + $6528.00

Summary

RICH Miner breaks the functional limitations of traditional currencies and allows XRP to enter the high-yield BTC mining track. It is a new opportunity for coin holders to realize asset appreciation and layout crypto passive income.

Cardano price has plunged into a bear market, falling by over 55% from its highest point in November last year.

Cardano (ADA) dropped to $0.587 and is at risk of more downside as key metrics deteriorate and a bearish pattern forms.

DeFi Llama data shows that the total value locked has plunged by 15% in the last 30 days to $324 million. Only eight dApps in the ecosystem have a total value locked of over $10 million. 

Cardano’s DeFi TVL has been overtaken by many newly formed blockchains like Unichain, Sonic, Sui, Sei, and Berachain. That is a sign that the network is not gaining traction among investors and developers.

Additional data indicates that Cardano’s stablecoin supply has remained at $30 million over the past few months. This is a small number considering the stablecoin industry is valued at over $250 billion.

Worse, many Cardano stablecoins have depegged and are trading below $1. Moneta, Anzens, and Djed have all dropped to $0.98, much lower than $1. The biggest stablecoins in crypto, like USDT, USDC, PYUSD, and RLUSD, have all avoided Cardano despite its size.

Further, Cardano’s DEX volume is minuscule, a sign that just a few people are interacting with the network. Cardano’s DEX volume in the last 30 days was $99 million. 

In contrast, Base, a layer-2 network created in 2023, handled over $632 million in the last 24 hours. Unichain, which Uniswap (UNI) launched in March, handled over $203 million in this period. 

Charles Hoskinson and the Input Output team are working on several initiatives to boost its ecosystem growth, but it is unclear whether they will lead to more robust expansion.

They are building Leios, an update to Cardano that will introduce parallel processing, increasing throughput. It will also have a unique structure comprising input blocks to collect and aggregate transactions, endorsement blocks to verify and approve them, and confirmation blocks to finalize them.

Midnight, on the other hand, is a layer-2 network that employs zero-knowledge proofs to enhance transaction privacy. While these initiatives are promising, it is unclear whether they will attract developers to Cardano.

The daily chart points to more ADA price sell-off. It remains below the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level. It has also moved below the 50-day and 100-day moving averages and has formed a large descending channel.

Cardano price has also formed an inverse cup-and-handle pattern, a common bearish continuation signal. It is now in the handle section, and a drop below the lower side will point to further downside, potentially to the 78.6% retracement point at $0.50.

Tron is gaining fresh momentum as TRX surges, backed by rising transaction activity and increasingly bullish trading signals. 

The network has now handled more than 13 billion transactions. This is a significant milestone that shows both raw growth and a growing role in the global use of cryptocurrencies, particularly in stablecoin transfers between Asia and Latin America.

The figure was confirmed in a July 6 post by CryptoQuant contributor Darkost, who highlighted that Tron’s (TRX) daily transaction count now averages over 8 million. Much of this volume comes from Tether (USDT), which has turned Tron into a practical payment rail for users facing volatile currencies or limited access to traditional banking.

Tron is already a parallel financial system for millions of people in nations like Argentina, where stablecoins are used to buy household goods.  The market is beginning to reflect this practical application.

With a 10% increase in volume to over $326 million, TRX is currently trading at $0.2886, up almost 2% over the past day. Activity is also rising on the derivatives side, as evidenced by a 2% rise in open interest and 29% surge trading volume, as per Coinglass data. This points to more traders bracing for further gains.

From a technical perspective, TRX has recovered its short-term trendline and is currently trading along the upper Bollinger Band, which is an indication of rising momentum especially when supported by volume. Price is above all of the major moving averages, which include the 10-, 20-, 50-, and 200-day ones.

TRON price analysis. Credit: crypto.news

The relative strength index, which is close to 63, indicates that the market is still bullish without going into overbought territory. The MACD’s upward-pointing signal line and continued positivity support the notion that bulls are still in charge. There is less chance of a false breakout because momentum indicators are gradually rising and volume is supporting the trend.

If TRX can easily break through resistance at $0.29, the next upward target is around $0.31, a level that was last tested in mid-June. If the price is unable to hold above the 20-day moving average, which is currently serving as a cushion, a short-term retest of support near $0.2770 may take place.

Britain’s crypto traders may soon face more than just market volatility—starting in January, failure to share personal details with trading platforms could cost them £300 each.

The UK government is tightening its grip on the crypto economy with new tax compliance rules that require users to provide identifying information to exchanges and platforms. The Cryptoasset Reporting Framework, designed to close loopholes and capture unpaid capital gains, is expected to raise £315 million by April 2030. The fines—targeting both individual holders and non-compliant service providers—are part of a broader push to bring digital assets under traditional financial oversight and align UK regulations more closely with U.S. policy than the EU’s approach.

According to the Daily Mail, holders of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other cryptocurrencies must supply accurate information to exchanges and platforms they use for trading.

Service providers that fail to report transaction details and tax reference numbers will also face penalties.

‘I’m not going to apologise’: Chancellor Reeves

Exchequer Secretary James Murray MP stated the rules will help “crack down on tax dodgers as we close the tax gap.”

The minister emphasized that comprehensive reporting will ensure “tax dodgers have nowhere to hide” while generating revenue for essential public services including healthcare and law enforcement.

The new framework forms part of broader government efforts to increase tax compliance across digital asset transactions. Current UK tax rules require cryptocurrency holders to pay capital gains tax on profits, but enforcement has been limited by reporting gaps.

The timing coincides with Chancellor Rachel Reeves’s refusal to rule out future tax increases following recent welfare reform reversals.

Reeves defended the government’s fiscal approach, stating, “I’m not going to apologise for making sure the numbers add up.”

The tax compliance measures complement the UK’s broader cryptocurrency regulatory framework, with draft legislation published in April 2025. This brings crypto exchanges, dealers, and stablecoin issuers under traditional financial services oversight.

The regulatory approach aligns more closely with the United States than the EU’s Markets in Cryptoassets Regulation. UK authorities are extending existing financial regulations to crypto firms through phased implementation expected to be complete by 2026.

The first phase focuses on stablecoins while the second phase will expand to broader cryptoasset categories and activities. Key rules and requirements are already being implemented throughout 2025.

Cryptocurrency service providers will need to implement customer data collection systems and regular reporting procedures to avoid penalties. The compliance burden may increase operational costs for smaller exchanges and trading platforms.

Users trading on non-compliant platforms or failing to provide required documentation face direct financial penalties. The £300 fine structure creates clear incentives for voluntary compliance while generating revenue from non-compliant actors.

Chancellor Reeves acknowledged that recent policy reversals have been “damaging” but maintained that fiscal responsibility requires comprehensive tax collection.
