Shiba Inu price prediction – What to expect from memecoin after its support fails

Shiba Inu (SHIB), a popular memecoin, has shown signs of bearish dominance in its recent trading patterns, falling below a critical mid-range support level. This descent suggests a higher likelihood of SHIB's price moving towards the lower end of its historical trading range, as opposed to rallying towards higher values. The coin's inability to maintain its mid-range support, specifically at the $0.0000129 level, fueled speculation about further declines in value.

Gork memecoins soar 7,000% after Elon Musk’s latest name change – Details

Elon Musk, the influential tech billionaire known for his Twitter antics that often reverberate through financial markets, has sparked yet another memecoin frenzy. Recently, Musk changed his display name on the social media platform to "gorklon rust" and updated his profile picture to a crudely drawn meme of a character called Gork, which is inspired by a satirical AI chatbot known for its humor. This seemingly insignificant action had an immediate and powerful effect on the cryptocurrency market, particularly affecting a niche sector known as memecoins.

Solana’s [SOL] high fee generation figures are misleading – Here’s why!

Recently, Solana (SOL) experienced a slump in market performance, showing a near 3% decrease in value over a week. Although there was a slight recovery in the last day, the movement was not substantial enough to reverse the negative trend. Interestingly, fees generated by the Solana network reached high levels, with reported earnings of $1.4 million over a 24-hour period. High fees can often be an indicator of robust network activity but, in Solana’s case, this was not an indication of positive market health. Instead, it appears that the increased fees may stem from a surge in selling activity. The network witnessed net outflows, having one of the highest withdrawal rates amongst blockchain platforms, resulting in $1.9 million worth of SOL being sold.

Polkadot: Is $3.28 support at risk? – What traders need to know

The cryptocurrency's current price is $3.98, with a slight decline noted in the past 24 hours. The market's focus is on whether the $3.28 support level will hold, which is a significant determinant for Polkadot's immediate price momentum. If the support falters, it could lead to a further decline, while a strong defense of this level may trigger a bullish response potentially driving the price back up to $5.29 or higher.

Vitalik Buterin’s warning! Stage 2 alone is not enough, Ethereum rollups need…

In 2025, Ethereum (ETH) experienced notable technological and leadership changes, with co-founder Vitalik Buterin playing a pivotal role in driving the platform towards enhanced resilience and decentralization at both the base layer (L1) and layer 2 (L2) levels. On a recent occasion, Buterin emphasized the importance for rollups, which are scaling protocols on Ethereum, to focus on more robust proof systems instead of just aiming for the 'Stage 2' milestone, which usually indicates a high level of decentralization. He highlighted that the security of a rollup does not only hinge on its stage of decentralization but also significantly depends on the integrity and reliability of its underlying proof system.

Bitcoin investors brace for volatility! – THESE macro factors explain why

Bitcoin investors are on the edge as they await macroeconomic clarity from an upcoming Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting. Despite opening the month with a spike to a quarterly high, Bitcoin has since surrendered a portion of its gains, currently reflecting the ongoing fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) within the market. This hesitation marks not so much a weakness but rather a strategic wait-and-see approach, with future movements largely dependent on the liquidity landscape following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) decisions.

Senate showdown puts Trump’s crypto bill on the brink as Democrats revolt

The GENIUS Act, a stablecoin bill presented in the U.S. Senate, is currently facing significant opposition from Senate Democrats just ahead of its scheduled vote on Thursday. Under the leadership of Senators Elizabeth Warren and Reuben Gallego, the Democrats have made clear their stance, declaring they will not support the Stablecoin GENIUS Act unless it includes stronger provisions against money laundering and other safety measures. Senator Warren pointed to a specific instance—the $2 billion cryptocurrency deal involving the Trump-affiliated World Liberty Financials (WLFI) and Binance—as indicative of the kind of corruption she believes the bill, in its current form, could facilitate.

In 2025, the BNB Chain is experiencing remarkable on-chain growth, with its fundamental metrics substantially rising.

Binance Chain's network revenue has increased by 58.1%, decentralized exchange (DEX) volume has surged by 79.1%, and daily active addresses have grown by 26.4%. However, BNB's price has struggled to breach the $600 mark, showing a disconnect from its robust underlying growth.

SEC Dropped the XRP Case—Ripple CTO Tells Us Why

Ripple Labs is celebrating a significant legal victory as the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has decided to drop its longstanding case regarding XRP. This notable change comes under the new leadership following the administration change with President Donald Trump. Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, released a concise video discussing the development, summarizing that the SEC withdrew because of its historical inability to clearly define crypto regulations prior to their enforcement. Alderoty believes this represents an acknowledgement of the SEC's vague approach to cryptocurrency regulations and suggests their withdrawal has implications for not just Ripple but other blockchain firms facing similar legal challenges.
