Bitcoin Surges Above $112K as September US CPI Comes In Below Estimates
The U.S. September CPI numbers are out, showing headline CPI at 3% YoY and core CPI also at 3% YoY, both slightly below the 3.1% estimates. The softer-than-expected inflation data sparked a surge in Bitcoin ($BTC), which quickly climbed above $112,000, as traders interpreted the report as bullish for risk-on assets and supportive of potential future Fed rate cuts.
October 24, 2025 12:33:06 UTC
US September CPI Misses Forecast, Dollar Faces Pressure
The U.S. September Consumer Price Index (CPI) MoM came in slightly below expectations at 0.3%, versus the 0.4% forecast and previous 0.4% reading. This softer-than-expected print is negative for the U.S. dollar, potentially creating upward momentum for gold and other metals as investors rotate into risk-on and safe-haven assets. Traders should watch for short-term volatility in forex and commodities markets following this release.
October 24, 2025 12:31:56 UTC
US September Core CPI Comes In Lower Than Expected, Easing Inflation Concerns
The U.S. September 2025 Core CPI came in slightly below expectations, signaling easing inflation pressures. Year-over-year, core CPI fell to 3.0%, down from both the previous 3.1% and the forecasted 3.1%. Month-over-month, core CPI rose just 0.2%, below the 0.3% forecast and previous 0.3%, marking a modest slowdown. This softer-than-expected reading could strengthen the case for future Fed rate cuts, boost market sentiment, and provide a tailwind for risk assets including equities and cryptocurrencies.

Analyst Views on September CPI: Fed Easing and Market Expectations
Ahead of the September CPI release, analysts are weighing in on potential market reactions. JP Morgan sees a ~65% chance the S&P 500 ends positive, noting that expected Fed easing on October 29 could offset inflation concerns. Goldman Sachs says the market is already pricing year-end rate cuts, driven by weak labor data rather than CPI, and does not expect the print to be definitive. Meanwhile, Bloomberg strategists warn of asymmetric downside risks if CPI surprises hotter-than-expected and note that data quality doubts could delay the final market reaction. Traders should consider these perspectives when planning positions in equities, bonds, and crypto.

US September CPI Drops in 30 Minutes: What to Expect for the S&P 500
The U.S. September CPI report will be released in just 30 minutes, with expectations for headline CPI at 0.39% MoM (3.1% YoY) and core CPI at 0.30% MoM (3.1% YoY). Market reactions to the core MoM print could vary: a reading above 0.40% may trigger a -1.5% to -2.25% drop in the S&P 500, 0.35–0.40% could see -0.5% to -1.25%, 0.30–0.35% is likely to result in flat to +0.5%, and below 0.30% may spark a +0.75% to +1.5% rally. Traders should watch the release closely, as it may set the short-term tone for equities and risk-on assets, including crypto.

US PMI Data and Earnings Could Boost Crypto if Economic Prints Surprise
Friday also brings the release of October S&P Global Manufacturing and Services PMIs alongside earnings reports from roughly 10% of S&P 500 firms, spanning tech and finance sectors. These indicators provide insight into economic expansion and corporate resilience. A strong services PMI can bolster confidence in the U.S. economy, while weak manufacturing numbers may stoke recession fears. Historically, such data has impacted crypto, with BTC surging over 5% following softer CPI releases and positive PMI data boosting Ethereum’s DeFi activity.Additionally, strong earnings beats can synergize with positive macro prints, supporting Nasdaq gains and indirectly benefiting crypto majors like BTC and ETH. Traders should watch core CPI and service sector data closely while managing leverage, as these events could set the tone for the Fed’s trajectory and short-term crypto trends.

US CPI Data Today and Consumer Sentiment Set to Shake Crypto Markets on Friday
This Friday, financial markets will focus on key U.S. economic indicators: September CPI inflation and October Consumer Sentiment. These releases will provide insights into inflation trends and consumer confidence, both of which directly influence Federal Reserve policy expectations. If CPI shows continued cooling, it could reinforce rate-cut expectations, potentially driving funds into high-risk assets like Bitcoin (BTC) and altcoins. Conversely, hotter-than-expected CPI could fuel concerns of prolonged high rates, increasing volatility. Meanwhile, the Consumer Sentiment Index serves as a gauge of consumer confidence. A reading below forecasts could indicate an economic slowdown, reducing risk appetite and triggering short-term sell-offs across stocks and crypto markets. Traders should closely monitor these early indicators to position effectively ahead of potential market swings.

Ethereum Eyes Big Move as Symmetrical Triangle Forms Ahead of CPI
Ethereum ($ETH) is showing interesting price action, similar to Bitcoin, with a local bounce from recent lows. Currently, ETH appears to be forming a symmetrical triangle/compression pattern, signaling indecision in the market. With today’s CPI data set to release, traders are watching closely for a breakout or breakdown, as prolonged compression often leads to an explosive move once the market chooses a direction.
October 24, 2025 11:34:52 UTC
Traders Await CPI to Reset Bitcoin Volatility
Bitcoin ($BTC) options traders are holding back as the market waits for the next macro catalyst. Following the data gap caused by the U.S. government shutdown, all eyes are on today’s CPI release, which is expected to recalibrate risk and volatility. Until the report drops, volatility remains elevated and sentiment stays cautious, with traders carefully positioning themselves ahead of potential market-moving developments.
October 24, 2025 11:30:34 UTC
Bitcoin Creeps Into CPI as Traders Eye $115K–$116K
Bitcoin ($BTC) price action remains relatively slow, forming a steady crab pattern ahead of today’s CPI release. Perpetual contracts are pushing, but spot buyers continue to sell into highs, keeping momentum muted. If BTC breaks below the rising wedge trendline, it could test the weekly open. Conversely, any sustained momentum toward the weekly high may set the stage for a test of $115K–$116K, making the CPI release a key catalyst for short-term price action.

Big Day for Crypto: U.S. CPI Data Today Could Spark Major Market Moves
Today is a crucial day for crypto holders as the U.S. CPI report drops at 8:30 a.m. ET, potentially moving the entire market. The Fed’s policy decisions hinge on unemployment and inflation, making this data critical. Expectations are at 3.1%, and the scenarios are clear:
Above 3.1%: Inflation is heating, tariffs and trade tensions push prices higher, and the Fed may stay cautious — fewer rate cuts, tighter liquidity, slower growth.
Around 3.1%: Neutral outcome, markets remain range-bound with limited short-term moves.
Below 3.1%: Inflation is cooling naturally, paving the way to end QT, increase liquidity, lower yields, and a weaker dollar. This scenario boosts the odds of more rate cuts, setting the stage for a strong move in Bitcoin and altcoins.
Traders should watch closely, as today’s print could define the next major trend in crypto markets.
October 24, 2025 11:30:34 UTC
Crypto Set for Multi-Month Rally Amid CPI, FOMC, and Trump-Xi Deal
Markets are lining up for a potentially bullish period in crypto. JP Morgan predicts the Fed will end QT at next week’s FOMC meeting, while tomorrow’s CPI report is expected to be tame. Adding fuel, CZ was pardoned by the U.S. government, and bullish earnings reports are due by month-end. With the anticipated Trump–Xi trade deal and gold showing a local top, liquidity is likely to flow into Bitcoin (BTC). Analysts suggest that these combined catalysts could trigger a price discovery breakout, setting the stage for a multi-month or quarterly crypto rally
October 24, 2025 11:27:41 UTC
CPI Data Drops Today, Markets Eye Fed Rate Cuts
The U.S. CPI report will be released today at 8:30 a.m. ET, with expectations at 3.1%, up from 2.9% last month. This is the first major economic release since the U.S. government shutdown, making it a key event for markets and the Federal Reserve ahead of next week’s FOMC meeting. October rate cut odds currently stand at 98%, but a CPI print of 3.1% or higher could reduce the likelihood of cuts. Conversely, a lower-than-expected CPI would be seen as bullish, potentially boosting equities, crypto, and other risk-on assets.
October 24, 2025 11:21:09 UTC
Crypto Market Gains as Investors Await U.S. CPI Report
The crypto market edged higher ahead of the U.S. inflation data release, with Bitcoin (BTC) up 1.3% in the past 24 hours to $111,000 and Ethereum (ETH) rising 1.6% to $2,890. The Fear & Greed Index currently sits at 32, indicating lingering fear among investors despite the recent price uptick. Markets are now focused on the September CPI report, expected to show a 0.4% monthly increase in inflation, a key indicator that could shape the Federal Reserve’s next policy move and influence short-term crypto volatility.
October 24, 2025 11:19:09 UTC
US CPI Data Today — Key Indicator for Upcoming Fed Rate Cuts
The U.S. CPI data will be released today at 8:30 a.m. ET, with market expectations at 3.1%, up from 2.9% last month. Rising inflation isn’t an encouraging sign, but with the recent government shutdown, markets are cautiously hoping for a softer print. Any figure below expectations could strengthen the case for Federal Reserve rate cuts, potentially sparking optimism across risk assets like stocks and crypto. Traders should brace for volatility as today’s report could shape the Fed’s tone in the weeks ahead.
October 24, 2025 11:17:59 UTC
CPI Report Today Moves the Entire Market
Many traders underestimate the impact of the Consumer Price Index (CPI), but it’s one of the most important catalysts in the market. A higher CPI means rising inflation, which typically leads to market drops, while a lower CPI signals easing inflation, often triggering short-term pumps in Bitcoin and stocks. However, it’s crucial to remember that CPI-driven rallies are usually short-lived. A “good” CPI print doesn’t guarantee a multi-month Bitcoin rally or a parabolic Q4 so traders should stay realistic and avoid getting caught in the hype.
October 24, 2025 11:15:25 UTC
Bitcoin Price Today: Two Clear Scenarios Ahead of CPI Report Release and FOMC
While many traders seem uncertain, the current Bitcoin ($BTC) price action appears crystal clear. Two plausible scenarios are unfolding: Scenario 1, BTC pushes higher into the CPI release, experiences a short-term flush, and then continues upward into the FOMC meeting. Scenario 2, BTC rallies into CPI, forms a local top, and then dumps into FOMC. The key lies in reacting to market pivots with precision. As always, disciplined trading and timing are what separate consistent analysts from the crowd and that’s why detailed strategies remain behind closed doors.
October 24, 2025 11:15:25 UTC
CPI Data Today and FOMC on Deck: Trader Strategy Turns Short-Term Bullish on Bitcoin
With the CPI report due today and the FOMC meeting just days away, traders are bracing for volatility while keeping a data-driven approach. Historically, CPI releases often mark local tops, while FOMC events tend to signal market bottoms. One trader notes a plan to ride a short-term pump following CPI exiting before a possible post-FOMC flush to re-enter at lower levels. While Bitcoin ($BTC) appears stronger in the short term, the broader view remains bullish on altcoins heading into the year’s close.
October 24, 2025 11:13:21 UTC
Crypto Market Weakens Ahead of CPI Data Release Today Amid ETF Selling Pressure
The crypto market has been losing momentum amid ongoing ETF-related selling pressure, with retail investors facing losses and showing reduced participation. As sentiment remains cautious, traders are eyeing today’s U.S. CPI data release, which is expected to bring heightened volatility. Before taking any new positions, it’s crucial to use proper stop-loss levels and set clear profit targets to navigate potential sharp price swings.
October 24, 2025 11:07:16 UTC
Traders Position for CPI Data Release Today and FOMC
Crypto traders are positioning ahead of a volatile few weeks, with many — including our group — accumulating Bitcoin ($BTC) and select altcoins. Historically, CPI days often trigger a Friday pump, followed by sideways or downward movement in the days leading up to the FOMC meeting. The FOMC day itself tends to bring a relief pump, while the days after usually see a cooling-off period. To top it off, the anticipated Trump–Xi trade deal at month’s end could provide another bullish push across risk assets, adding more fuel to the market narrative.
October 24, 2025 11:07:16 UTC
Gold Price Turns Bearish Ahead of CPI Data Release Today— Volatility Looms
Gold is showing strong bearish momentum after completing a short-term liquidity grab, with an entry zone between $4,070–$4,074 and a target near $3,955. The overall market bias remains bearish as traders await today’s U.S. CPI report, which is expected to bring high volatility. Prices may retest the entry zone before continuing lower, so patience and confirmation are key. If the CPI data comes in strong for the U.S. dollar, gold could extend its decline toward the $3,955 target zone.
October 24, 2025 11:07:16 UTC
Ethereum Eyes $4,200: CPI Data , FOMC, and US-China Deal Could Trigger Short Squeeze
Ethereum ($ETH) has major liquidity clusters above the $4,200 level, making it a prime candidate for a short squeeze. Today’s U.S. CPI data and next week’s FOMC meeting are key events that could move markets, while the expected U.S.-China trade deal as Trump meets Xi adds another potential catalyst. Market sentiment has shifted from bullish in early October to largely bearish now, which could ironically increase upward pressure if these events spark fresh buying in Ethereum. Traders should watch $ETH closely in the coming days.
October 24, 2025 11:07:16 UTC
US CPI Report Today: What It Could Mean for Markets
The U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) for September will be released today at 8:30 a.m. ET, with market expectations at 3.1%, up from last month’s 2.9%. If CPI exceeds 3.1%, it could be bearish for markets, marking the highest inflation since June 2024. A CPI in line at 3.1% would still be somewhat bearish, as the 0.2% monthly increase (2.4% annualized) is above the Fed’s 2% target, potentially prompting a hawkish stance from Powell. On the other hand, a CPI below 3.1% would be ideal for risk-on assets, increasing the likelihood of rate cuts and driving liquidity into stocks, crypto, and other riskier investments, making tomorrow’s report a key market mover.
The post Is MYX Finance Ready for Its Next Breakout? Key Levels to Watch After $3 Rebound appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
MYX Finance price gained huge attention during the last few weeks of Q3, as it surged over 1300%, marking a fresh ATH above $19. Meanwhile, the start of the last quarter turned out to be extremely bearish, dragging the levels down by more than 80%. With MYX Finance currently trading above $3, the token has become one of the most volatile movers in the mid-cap DeFi space.
After a sharp rally fueled by surging derivatives interest and aggressive whale positioning, investors are now wondering whether MYX has enough momentum left to reach the double-digit milestone.
Can the MYX Finance Price Hit $5 This Month?
Since the start of the month, the MYX price has been consolidating within a narrow range, experiencing significant upward pressure. The token formed consecutive lower highs and lows, while the latest rebound reflects the growing dominance of the bulls. The bullish momentum has just begun to rise, and if it prevails for a while, a rise above $6 could be imminent. However, it would be interesting to see whether the token can reach $10 in October or not.
The 4-hour chart of the MYX price displays the descending trend forming consecutive lower highs and lows. However, the token broke above the descending triangle while the RSI rose, holding the ascending trend line. However, the price needs to reach $3.46 and sustain above the range that could validate the current trend reversal. The RSI is incremental and hence, the could reach the range shortly. Meanwhile, if the token withstands bearish pressure and resumes rising beyond the next resistance at $4.6, MYX Finance may begin a new upswing and test higher targets.
Trump-Linked WLFI Price Breaks Out—Can the Rally Continue to $1?
,
Bullish Setup Faces Strong Resistance and Volatility Risks
MYX Finance is still holding a constructive structure above the $2.80–$3.00 support range, showing that buyers are actively defending key levels. Rising trading volumes and strong open interest in derivatives suggest bulls remain positioned for another upward push. If the price can break decisively above the $4.20 resistance, momentum traders may re-enter, potentially opening the door toward $6.50 in a continuation rally.
However, risks remain elevated. Liquidity in MYX is still thin compared to the scale of recent price swings, making the asset highly vulnerable to sudden volatility spikes. Upcoming token unlocks could allow early holders to take profits, introducing selling pressure into the market. Additionally, concerns about market manipulation and non-organic trading activity keep caution levels high. A failure to hold $2.60 support could flip sentiment quickly and invite a deeper correction.
In short, MYX remains a high-momentum play—but one where both upside and downside can accelerate faster than expected.
FAQs
What is MYX Finance and why is it gaining attention?
MYX Finance is a mid-cap DeFi token known for high volatility. Recent rallies and derivatives activity have driven its price above $3.
Why is MYX Finance so volatile?
Thin liquidity, aggressive whale positioning, and derivatives trading amplify price swings, making MYX highly sensitive to market moves.
What risks should investors consider with MYX Finance?
Sudden volatility, token unlocks, and non-organic trading could trigger sharp price drops, so risk management is essential.
The post Top Crypto to Buy This Week? Here’s How to Double Your Investment Before Year End appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Short-term investors are scanning the market for projects that can deliver fast, reliable returns before the year ends. The crypto market is crowded, but very few projects combine real-world function with clear profit potential. One project is standing out to analysts and retail investors alike — Mutuum Finance (MUTM). With its working lending ecosystem, upcoming platform rollout, and near-complete presale, this new entrant is expected to become one of the top gainers in the final quarter of the year.
Presale Momentum and Short-Term Opportunity
Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is in Phase 6 of its presale, where each MUTM token costs $0.035. Around 74% of this phase is already sold, and the next price jump will lift the token to $0.04 — a 15% increase. Across all phases, the project has raised about $17.8 million, with over 17,400 holders joining the growing community. The total supply will stay fixed at 4 billion MUTM, making it one of the most closely watched assets among early-stage projects.
An investor who entered during Phase 4 at $0.025 is already sitting on a 40% gain. With the exchange listing price set at $0.06, that position will reach 140% appreciation before the year closes. For traders following crypto charts, this growth curve stands out compared to other new listings. The combination of working utilities, platform-driven revenue, and staking rewards makes MUTM one of the cheapest cryptocurrency opportunities with a realistic chance to double investments before the year ends.
Why Mutuum Finance (MUTM) Is Outperforming
The strength of Mutuum Finance (MUTM) lies in its practical design. It will operate as a lending and borrowing protocol that rewards participants through a dual revenue cycle — daily lending interest and buy-and-distribute staking rewards. This model will create a continuous flow of on-chain activity, linking real usage to token demand.
The Peer-to-Contract (P2C) lending model will handle stable assets such as DAI and USDT. A lender who deposits $8,000 DAI will receive mtDAI 1:1 and will earn an average annual return of around 13%, equal to $1,040 in one year. Borrowers will post collateral like ETH or ADA and borrow against it based on loan-to-value ratios. The protocol will automatically adjust interest rates according to liquidity utilization, creating a self-balancing system that rewards active participation.
Meanwhile, the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system will cater to higher-risk tokens such as DOGE or PEPE. Here, borrowers and lenders will negotiate terms directly, allowing higher yields in exchange for increased risk. This setup will keep volatile assets isolated from the main liquidity pools, ensuring the protocol’s safety and stability. Every lending and borrowing transaction will generate platform fees, part of which will feed the buy-and-distribute reward cycle for mtToken stakers ultimately increasing MUTMs demand.
Mutuum Finance (MUTM) will use its platform revenue to buy MUTM tokens from the open market and redistribute them to users who stake their mtTokens. This will create a logical and repeatable demand cycle — more platform activity leads to higher revenue, which drives more token buybacks and staking rewards. The result will be consistent engagement and steady demand growth across the ecosystem.
V1 Launch on Spolia Testnet
Mutuum Finance (MUTM) announced on its official X account that the V1 version of its protocol will go live on the Sepolia Testnet by Q4 2025. This release will bring core features such as a liquidity pool, mtToken, debt token, and a liquidator bot to ensure smooth and secure system operations. At launch, users will be able to lend, borrow, and use ETH or USDT as collateral.
This testnet phase gives users an early chance to experience the platform before the official rollout. Allowing them to test key features helps build trust and excitement, which can attract more investors and drive the token’s value higher.
Incentives for Community Growth and LTV Ratios
A daily leaderboard reward has been launched, giving users a $500 MUTM bonus for claiming the top spot within a 24-hour cycle. To qualify, the winner must complete at least one transaction during that period. The leaderboard resets automatically every day at 00:00 UTC, ensuring a fresh start for all participants. This initiative will boost on-chain activity and prepare the community for the mainnet rollout and exchange listing that will happen shortly after.
Behind its fast growth, Mutuum Finance (MUTM) maintains strong risk control measures. Stable assets like ETH and major stablecoins will have loan-to-value ratios of up to 75%, while more volatile tokens will stay around 45%. The platform will rely on deep on-chain liquidity pools to ensure smooth operations even during high volatility. This balance between yield and security will attract both retail users and professional lenders seeking sustainable participation in decentralized finance.
The near-term price path is also clear. As Phase 6 wraps up, the token price will rise to $0.04, followed by a listing price of $0.06 — a total jump of 70% from today’s level. Combined with staking rewards and buyback pressure, this structure will allow investors to see near-term gains that align with the project’s real economic activity. With the platform’s testnet going live and full utility launching soon, these catalysts are timed perfectly for strong market momentum before year-end.
Act Before the Price Moves
Investors are interested in Mutuum Finance (MUTM) for the right reasons, such as a working system, many ways to make money, and clear presale successes. Users will be able to make both money and use out of this system because it will have consistent yields and incentives that the community will create. After the price increase was confirmed and 74% of Phase 6 had already been sold, early admittance will give investors access to the last discount before the exchange listing.

The post JPMorgan to Accept Bitcoin and Ether as Loan Collateral By Year’s End appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Global banking giant JPMorgan Chase is preparing to let institutional clients use Bitcoin and Ether as collateral for loans by the end of this year. The decision marks one of the biggest steps yet by a major U.S. bank toward blending traditional finance with the fast-growing crypto world.
Bitcoin and Ether as Loan Collateral
According to internal sources cited by industry insiders, JPMorgan’s upcoming policy will allow select institutional clients to pledge BTC and ETH holdings as collateral for fiat loans, similar to how they use stocks, bonds, or gold.
Meanwhile, the tokens will be held securely by a third-party custodian, ensuring that JPMorgan doesn’t directly manage the crypto assets but still accepts their value as loan security.
This move is surprising given JPMorgan’s past stance on crypto. CEO Jamie Dimon once called Bitcoin a “hyped-up fraud,” but in recent years, his tone has softened. While he still has doubts, he now says people should have the freedom to buy and hold crypto.

Wall Street Deepens Its Crypto Push
JPMorgan isn’t alone. Other financial giants like Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, State Street, and Bank of New York Mellon have all expanded their crypto-related offerings. Regulatory easing under the Trump administration has made it easier for banks to experiment with digital assets.
Morgan Stanley, for example, plans to let E*Trade customers buy popular cryptocurrencies next year, while BlackRock has begun allowing investors to swap Bitcoin for ETF shares tracking its price.
JPMorgan Too Leads Crypto-Backed Lending
If JPMorgan’s plan works, it could inspire other banks to follow, opening the door for broader use of cryptocurrencies in lending markets.
With Bitcoin recently touching $112,000, demand for crypto-backed financial services is growing fast. By accepting digital assets as collateral, JPMorgan could help bring more institutions into crypto and push it deeper into the global financial system.

The post Top 3 Cryptos to Invest in 2025: Best Picks for Short-Term Gains appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
With the 2025 market cycle gaining momentum as the year races to a close, Investors are seeking outsized returns before year-end. Among many contenders, three crypto assets stand out as strong candidates for short-term gains: Little Pepe, Provenance Blockchain, and Ethena. Each offers a distinct proposition, and collectively they may form a balanced speculative basket.
Little Pepe (LILPEPE)
Little Pepe is fighting above its weight class. Now in its presale Stage 13 and priced at about $0.0022, it has already raised over $27.1 million and sold more than 16.5 billion tokens. The narrative is powerful: investors are flocking to a meme-token that claims actual infrastructure, a Layer-2 EVM-compatible chain built to support low-fee, fast transactions, and brings back the viral energy of early meme-coins. What makes Little Pepe especially compelling for short-term upside is its positioning. The presale is near sell-out, creating scarcity; the listing could trigger a sharp price reaction; and the meme narrative is reinforcing momentum.
Analysts have highlighted the project’s potential to deliver large multiples in a market that rewards novelty plus utility. Of course, this also comes with elevated risk. Presales are inherently speculative, liquidity events can invite volatility, and success hinges on execution and listing performance. But if the listing ignites as many anticipate, Little Pepe stands out as a high-beta bet that could deliver outsized returns in a compressed time frame.
Provenance Blockchain (HASH)
Unlike many speculative tokens, HASH is not just a symbol of hype but a utility token that powers chain fees, governance, and network operations. Currently, HASH trades in low decimals (around $0.03–$0.04) per CoinGecko data, reflecting its early-stage market status. Because of its modest valuation base, positive developments or adoption events may translate into relatively large percentage gains. Markets appear to undervalue many infrastructure chains until a tipping point, so even moderate utility adoption or listing news could catalyze a material jump.
Analysts anticipate that HASH may gain visibility through exchange listings and real-world use cases, particularly in the tokenization of assets. For short-term gains, HASH may act as a semi-bridge between speculative and pragmatic plays. If momentum triggers across the infrastructure narrative, HASH could draw interest from traders seeking underappreciated rails rather than pure meme assets. In that mix, HASH may offer upside that is less exposed to sentiment swings yet still capable of sharp upward moves.
Ethena (ENA)
Ethena flips the script. Rather than chasing viral gains, it addresses a structural inefficiency in crypto finance: how to deliver scalable, censorship-resistant ‘dollar’ currency within DeFi. The protocol issues USDe, a synthetic dollar built using crypto-asset hedging mechanisms, and the native governance token ENA enables participation in protocol decisions. While not designed for wild short-term pumps like meme coins, Ethena’s value proposition lies in its under‐the-radar potential.
As DeFi users and protocols seek alternatives to fiat-backed stablecoins, Ethena may capture attention, and if it does, ENA could benefit. The recent announcement of a $1.5 billion issuance of USDtb by Anchorage under the “Genius Act” suggests Ethena is moving toward institutional relevance. For investors targeting short-term gains, Ethena represents a lower-beta but still exciting alternative: if the story gains momentum, the move could unfold quickly. It’s a different kind of play, less about hype, more about structural opportunity.
Framing a Balanced Speculative Portfolio
In a short-term gain context, these three each bring differentiated exposures. Little Pepe may deliver explosive returns if meme cycles reboot and ecosystem momentum holds. HASH offers a lower-volatility infrastructure bet with upside tied to adoption and listings. Ethena bridges into DeFi revenue models and synthetic finance, attracting capital seeking yield plus protocol growth. A strategy may allocate more toward the highest upside (Little Pepe) while retaining exposure to HASH and ENA to hedge against meme faddishness or regulatory headwinds.
Conclusion
The 2025 cycle may reward those who identify projects that combine narrative strength with tangible mechanism design. Little Pepe stands out as a meme play with infrastructure ambition and presale momentum. Provenance Blockchain (HASH) offers a token rooted in financial rails infrastructure, providing leverage to adoption. Ethena seeks to harness DeFi’s revenue pathways while introducing synthetic monetary innovation. Investors aiming for short-term gains should watch how each acts on its milestones. Those drawn to high upside may favor Little Pepe, while others may balance across HASH and ENA.

The post Is Bitcoin the Only Winner As Crypto Fatigue Hits and Altcoins Collapse? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The crypto market is in a strange place right now – confusing, frustrating, and a little exhausting.
That’s the picture painted by David Sencil (@_dsencil) and Graham (@graminitha1) of Bitcoin.com on Token Narratives (Ep. 76).
From altcoin losses to Ethereum drama, the hosts laid out why investors are feeling burnt out and why Bitcoin still stands out.
Everyone’s Confused, Even the Experts
Blockworks CEO Yano says this is “the most confused” period for crypto investors. Even top voices in the space don’t see eye to eye. Veteran investor Chris Burniske has gone bearish, keeping 39% of his funds in cash and 61% in long-term non-crypto investments, citing overvaluation.
There are smart people, with good reasons, who lean bullish here. There are also smart people, with good reasons, who lean bearish. No doubt, it's a divided market.
You have to decide for yourself, and be able to recover or withstand the market moving against you for a period,… https://t.co/jLq2bBE79U

Others, like Taiki Maida of SteadyLads and trader Peter Brandt, have also sounded cautious.
Sencil and Graham point to the old “four-year Bitcoin halving” story. It’s deeply ingrained, and it often triggers reflexive bearish behavior whenever the cycle seems over.
Altcoins Struggle, Bitcoin Shines
The top 50 altcoins are still far below their 2021 highs. Bitcoin, by contrast, has held value, creating a sense that the current rally isn’t a “real” bull market.
Retail traders who thrived in 2021’s “buy anything” era are disappointed. Many now chase short-term trends instead of holding with conviction, which is a “lottery ticket” mindset replacing serious investing.
OGs Cashing Out
Even veteran players are stepping back. Billions of dollars in Bitcoin have been sold by early adopters, leaving new investors uneasy.
Sencil and Graham summed it up as “OGs are getting old.” Many long-timers are cashing out or moving on, a pattern that repeats every market cycle.
All Signs Point to Bitcoin
Despite all this, the macro picture is still favorable. Global M2 money supply has hit $140 trillion, U.S. rate cuts are expected, and trillions in money market funds are earning 4%+.
Lastly, global M2 money supply is about to hit $140 trillion for the first time in history.
In just 6 months, global M2 money supply has surged +$8 TRILLION.
Investors are losing confidence in fiat.

When yields drop, this cash will flow into risk assets like Bitcoin. The experts call it a setup for the next bull run, noting that structural currency devaluation makes hard assets increasingly attractive.
Bitcoin’s role has shifted and it is now a store of value. The hosts discussed Bitcoin’s security budget, noting that solutions like tail emissions or Layer-2 fees could keep it sustainable. Bitcoin remains “technically better than gold.”
Ethereum in Turmoil
Ethereum is facing serious internal issues. Dankrad Feist left EF for Tempo, and Geth lead Peter Szilágyi resigned, criticizing low pay and centralization. Even Ethereum bulls are questioning their holdings.
Meanwhile, generalist Layer-2s like Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism are struggling to add value. Sencil and Graham see the future in purpose-built L2s or dedicated appchains, where interoperability matters more than hierarchy.
Takeaways: Fatigue Isn’t the End
Crypto fatigue is real, but it doesn’t mean the market is dead. Fundamentals matter again, 2021’s “buy anything” era is over, and scarce assets like Bitcoin are positioned to benefit as fiat loses value.
Sencil and Graham concluded that amid all the noise, Bitcoin remains the smart, conservative play.
The post US CPI Hits 3%, Below Expectations appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
US inflation increased to 3% in September, slightly lower than the expected 3.1% and up from 2.9% in August. While prices for food and tariff-affected goods contributed to the rise, inflation growth remains steady but slower than forecasted. This softened inflation rate offers some relief as the economy continues navigating price pressures, signaling a cautiously optimistic outlook ahead for consumers and markets alike. The delayed data comes as the Federal Reserve prepares for its next interest rate decisions soon.
