📉 The analyst warned of a 70% risk of Bitcoin's decline
➡️ ITC Crypto founder Benjamin Cowen believes that the first cryptocurrency could lose up to 70% of its value from its peak in the future. He reminded that in past cycles, corrections were 94%, 87%, and 77%.
📊 Short-term expectations
🔵 Analyst Axel Adler Jr. estimates the probability of a new ATH in the next two weeks at 70%. His arguments:
🔵 MVRV for short-term holders is close to zero.
🔵 BTC futures are consistently trading at a premium to spot.
🔵 ETFs are recording a steady inflow of capital (+$163 million as of September 18).
📌 The market is balancing between the risk of a deep correction and the chance to update records. Institutional inflows and activity in derivatives could be the decisive factor for the next move.

📊 ETF on XRP and Dogecoin started with $55 million in turnover
🗓 On September 18, spot ETFs based on XRP (XRPR) and Dogecoin (DOJE) were launched in the USA by REX Shares and Osprey Funds. The debut session brought a total trading volume of $55 million, reported Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas.
1️⃣ XRPR — $37.7 million (leader among all launches in 2025). 2️⃣ DOJE — $17 million (fifth place out of 710 new funds for the year).
📈 For comparison: in the first 90 minutes, the XRP ETF exceeded a turnover of $24 million — many times more than its futures counterparts. Usually, new funds start with volumes less than $1 million.
⚠️ However, it's important: these products are not "classic" ETFs under the 1933 Act. They are registered under the 1940 Act and invest through structures in the Cayman Islands, as well as purchase shares in foreign funds.

CZ warned about new attacks from North Korean hackers
🕐 Binance founder Changpeng Zhao addressed crypto projects with a warning: North Korean hackers have intensified their activities and are using increasingly sophisticated methods.
🔑 Four main tactics:
1️⃣ Fake candidates — submit resumes for vacancies in IT, finance, and security.
2️⃣ Traps during interviews — send malicious "updates" and "code samples".
3️⃣ Attacks through support — disguise themselves as clients and provide infected links.
4️⃣ Bribing employees — attempt to gain access through insiders.
💬 "These hackers are creative and patient. Companies must strengthen candidate checks, conduct training, and prohibit the upload of unverified files," emphasized CZ.
📉 According to Google Cloud, in 2025 alone, North Korean groups stole cryptocurrencies worth $1.6 billion. Total losses over the decade are estimated in the billions of dollars.
➡️ Funds, according to experts, are going to finance the regime's nuclear program.

📉 Citigroup predicted a decline of Ethereum to $4300
💎 Citigroup analysts warn: if ETH stays below $4470, the price may correct to $4300 by the end of 2025.
🔺 The level of $4470 was previously a strong resistance and now serves as key support. Its breakout will open the way to the area of $4300, where technical levels converge — point of control, minimum of the value zone, and Fibonacci 'golden ratio'.
📊 The bank outlines a wide range of scenarios:
🔼 bullish — rise to $6400,
🔽 bearish — drop to $2200.
🔵 Separately, Citi noted a decrease in activity on the main Ethereum blockchain: now only 30% of the traffic passes through it, the rest goes to L2 solutions. This makes ETH vulnerable to correction upon losing key levels.
