The Hedera HBAR cryptocurrency has faced 2% dip in the last 30 days, with crypto whales looking to swoop in and rescue its price. Per whale market data, Whales have added about 127.8 million HBAR worth nearly $26.8 million in the last 48 hours. Currently, the asset is trading at $0.2208, but could see a further dip of 10% if it falls any further. Whale addresses holding more than 10 million HBAR have increased from 129.18 to 130.96 recently. Meanwhile, wallets with over 100 million HBAR grew from 38.46 to 39.56 since October 6. That’s roughly 127.8 million HBAR — at minimum — added by whales, worth around $26.8 million at the current HBAR price. HBAR Prices are testing the lower trendline near $0.21, a key support zone that has held multiple times since late September. If the coin’s price dips below $0.21, the next downside targets lie at $0.20 and $0.19, marking a 10% dip from current levels. The zone around $0.20 could offer temporary support, but $0.19 remains the critical leve...

BlackRock’s aggressive push into digital assets accelerated in the third quarter of 2025, with the asset manager adding $22.46 billion to its crypto portfolio, according to Finbold’s Q3 2025 Cryptocurrency Market Report. Between July 1 and September 30, the value of BlackRock’s on-chain Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum  (ETH) holdings surged from $79.63 billion to $102.09 billion, marking a 28.2% increase in just three months.  Bitcoin accounted for a $10.99 billion gain (up 14.6% from $75.26 billion to $86.25 billion), while Ethereum delivered even stronger returns, soaring $11.46 billion (a 262% gain from $4.37 billion to $15.83 billion). While Bitcoin remains the backbone of BlackRock’s crypto portfolio, Ethereum has emerged as the fastest-growing component. The massive influx of ETH purchases in Q3 reshaped the firm’s allocation, with its Ethereum position more than tripling in value over the three-month period.

The Bitcoin price edged down a fraction of a percent in the past 24 hours to trade at $123,748 as of 4:29 a.m. EST, as VanEck says that BTC could be worth half as much as gold by its next halving, which is slated for 2028. According to Mathew Sigel, head of digital asset research at VanEck, “We’ve been saying Bitcoin should reach half of gold’s market cap after the next halving.” The recent rise in gold prices would place Bitcoin at $644,000 in “equivalent value.” The ability of the king of cryptocurrencies has, for a long time, been compared to that of gold. Still, gold has outperformed BTC so far this year, rising 50% amid increasing uncertainty over political developments. However, according to Sigel, younger investors prefer Bitcoin as a store of value. “Roughly half of gold’s value reflects its use as a store of value rather than industrial or jewelry demand, and surveys show younger consumers in emerging markets increasingly pre...

The Netflix stock drop hit hard on October 6th, 2025, and shares plunged 9% again while erasing $25 billion in market value. This happened right after Elon Musk’s viral boycott call gained momentum. The streaming platform’s stock closed at $1,153.32, and this also marks another severe decline following an initial 5% drop on October 3rd. We could say that boycotts work now, right? This decline in Netflix stocks is in fact the most dismal weekly performance by this company since April 2025. The Elon Musk Netflix boycott has gained serious traction across social media platforms and even triggered mass subscription cancellations among users.

Investors are blaming market-maker Wintermute, Ethereum layer 2 Blast, and early team member unlocks for the oddly disappointing launch of Plasma’s XPL token. Despite billions of dollars in trading volume, XPL is already 40% below its debut high from last week, and Plasma co-founder Paul Punt is trying to debunk claims of an early unlock and other conflicts of interest. “We’ve seen a number of rumors circulating since the launch of XPL,” he wrote as allegations about his team dumping 800 million tokens, rug-pulling users, coordinating sales through Wintermute, and repeating the disappointing launch of Blast racked up hundreds of thousands of impressions on social media. According to Punt as of 5:11pm yesterday New York time, Plasma team members hadn’t sold any XPL . He also claims that Plasma hasn’t contracted Wintermute for any service, and only employs three out of 50 team members with work experience at Blast or its predecessor Blur. Whales dominate ...

XRP ended Q3 2025 on a strong note, rising from $2.20 in early July to $2.90 by the end of September, a gain of 31%, marking one of its best quarterly performances in years. With this momentum, cryptocurrency analyst Mikybull outlined the possible outlook for XRP as Q4 begins.  In an X post on October 1, the analyst noted that XRP’s bullish quarterly close above long-term resistance is the first since 2017, a setup that previously preceded one of the token’s most explosive rallies. XRP price analysis. Source: TradingView This outlook is supported by XRP forming a multi-year inverse head-and-shoulders pattern that has now broken to the upside.  The breakout points to potential continuation, with immediate resistance near $5.50 and long-term targets at $19, $63, and even $215 if the pattern fully plays out over the coming years. With momentum rising, Q4 could be crucial. If buyers sustain the breakout, higher levels may follow, though past cycles su...

The XRP price has jumped 2.5% in the last 24 hours to trade at $2.88 as of 3.50 a.m. EST on a 24% surge in trading volume to $5.53 billion. This comes as Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas says the approval of spot crypto ETFs, including an XRP ETF, is now virtually guaranteed. He explained that new “generic listing standards” have made traditional 19b-4 filings unnecessary, leaving only final clearance from the SEC’s Corporation Finance division. Honestly the odds are really 100% now. Generic listing standards make the 19b-4s and their “clock” meaningless. That just leaves the S-1s waiting for formal green light from Corp Finance. And they just submitted amendment #4 for Solana. The baby could come any day. Be ready. https://t.co/5JtfTm82Wi — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) September 29, 2025 Issuers, including Solana-linked funds, are already updating their S-1 filings, signaling the process is close to completion.
