A bold forecast has stirred debate in crypto circles. Based on reports, a long-time investor known as Pumpius argues that XRP could one day trade at a whopping $1 million per coin! Related Reading: Crash Incoming? Kiyosaki Warns Of ‘August Curse’ And Reveals His Bitcoin Buy Zone That’s a huge jump from its current price near $2. The prediction rests on the idea that XRP will become the main bridge asset in a tokenized global economy worth up to $1 quadrillion. Tokenization Efforts Gain Ground According to Pumpius, Ripple is quietly moving real-world assets onto its blockchain. A government-backed real estate token pilot in Colombia is already under way. Reports have disclosed that Ripple has rolled out massive network upgrades. Then, there’s also a $100 million commitment to tokenizing carbon markets, and partnerships with regulated companies. XRP’s Role As Bridge Asset Based on data from Boston Consulting Group and Citi, $16 trillion in real-world assets could be tokenized by 2030. But Pumpius believes that figure could swell when you add $300 trillion in global real estate, $100 trillion in stocks, and over $100 trillion in bonds, plus currencies and commodities. Tokenize the World: Why 1 XRP Could Be Worth $1,000,000 Sounds insane, right? Now read that again. What if every asset you’ve ever known — stocks, homes, currencies, oil, bonds, even carbon — was tokenized onto one blockchain? And what if XRP became the bridge for it all? This… pic.twitter.com/h6BbIcKKhw — Pumpius (@pumpius) May 16, 2025 In his view, that push could create a token economy worth $1 quadrillion. He sees XRP, with its three to five second settlement times and built-in decentralized exchange, as the obvious choice to move value between those tokens. A Network Built For Speed And Scale Reports have disclosed that XRP Ledger already supports an automated market maker and native multi-asset transfers. Pumpius said these features are more suited for high-volume transfers than Bitcoin’s design. He notes that with a total supply of 100 billion XRP—and much of it locked or burned—scarcity could boost prices if demand surges. Big Hurdles Ahead Despite the promise, challenges remain. Regulatory clarity is still a work in progress in many countries. Competing blockchains are chasing tokenization too. Legacy financial firms may hesitate before shifting trillions of dollars on-chain. And even if XRP becomes a dominant bridge, it would only need to handle settlement flows—likely a small slice of total tokenized value. Related Reading: Against The Grain: Analyst Targets $300K Bitcoin Price—When Will It Happen? Market Skepticism Persists Yet Pumpius insists the math holds. If XRP captures a fraction of daily flows in a $1 quadrillion token economy, a million-dollar price per coin follows. History shows radical price targets aren’t always impossible. Reports have pointed to early Internet skeptics who missed the web’s true potential. Whether XRP will hit seven figures or breach $3 is anyone’s guess.

Tom Lee, co-founder and head of research at Fundstrat Global Advisors and chairman of Bitmine, used his appearance on Natalie Brunell’s Coin Stories to press a sweeping thesis for Ethereum: institutional tokenization is arriving at scale, stablecoins have become crypto’s first mass-market product, and the dominant smart-contract network is positioned to intermediate both. “Ethereum is arguably the biggest macro trade over the next 10-15 years as Wall Street runs onto the blockchain and as AI drives adoption of token economics – the largest layer 1 is ethereum,” he commented via X, framing Ethereum’s moment as analogous to Bitcoin’s institutional validation. Why Ethereum Might Be The Biggest Macro Trade Lee argued there is no contradiction between his longstanding Bitcoin optimism and his conviction on Ethereum. Bitcoin, in his telling, remains the monetary primitive and store of value. Ethereum, by contrast, is the execution layer for tokenized finance. “I don’t see this as a conflict,” he said when asked why he champions both assets. Drawing an analogy to equities, he added that investors can sensibly own scarce, category-defining names in parallel: “You know you should own both.” Related Reading: Ethereum Consolidation Deepens As Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Hits One Of The Lowest Levels This Year The crux of Lee’s Ethereum case is the convergence of Wall Street’s tokenization push with real-world adoption of stablecoins. He described stablecoins as crypto’s first ubiquitous application and the accelerant for institutional on-chain activity. “That is the ChatGPT moment for crypto,” he said. “The first killer app for crypto has emerged… which is stablecoins, and now Wall Street is running to tokenize and maybe even financialize their entire system on the blockchain. But that means they require smart contracts.” In Lee’s assessment, “the biggest and most secure blockchain with no downtime is Ethereum. And it’s legally compliant.” He further contended that “the majority of stablecoins and real-world assets that have been tokenized are taking place on Ethereum,” positioning the network as the default venue for capital-markets infrastructure to migrate on-chain. Brunell pressed on perceived weaknesses introduced since Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake, including increased complexity, centralization vectors, bridge and Layer-2 attack surfaces. Lee acknowledged those critiques but weighed them against what he views as the incumbent system’s brittleness. “These risks that you describe seem like smaller risks compared to the fragility of the existing financial system,” he said, pointing to legacy “trust vectors” and fraud rates in traditional rails. In other words, even with Ethereum’s trade-offs, the relative security-and-efficiency frontier still tilts in its favor for modern financial plumbing. Related Reading: Why Ethereum to Outperform Bitcoin: $5.4B ETF Inflows, Whale Accumulation, and 2021 Breakout Pattern Lee linked his timeline to the institutional learning curve. When he first wrote about Bitcoin in 2017, he said, the investment community was just beginning to recognize a credible digital-gold thesis. “I think Ethereum is having its 2017 moment now because now is the time that Wall Street will take tokenization seriously and it’s taking place on Ethereum,” he said. That adoption vector—tokenized dollars and securities settling under programmable contracts—underpins his claim that Ethereum is the preeminent macro trade ahead. Asked to choose a single asset for the next decade, Lee resisted the premise but ultimately answered in line with his current mandate. “If I had to choose… because I’m chairman of Bitmine, which is an Ethereum treasury, then I of course would choose Ethereum,” he said. He closed by reiterating that generational shifts in technology and attitudes will keep compounding crypto’s addressable market, with both Bitcoin and Ethereum benefiting. But on the specific question of where institutional financial infrastructure is most likely to land, his stance was unambiguous: “Wall Street will take tokenization seriously and it’s taking place on Ethereum.” At press time, ETH traded at $3,625.

Компания Strategy (ранее MicroStrategy) объявила, что за прошлую неделю приобрела дополнительный биткоин ($BTC) на сумму $2,46 млрд. С 28 июля по 3 августа компания купила еще 21 021 токен, доведя общий запас до 628 791 $BTC (что сейчас примерно оценивается в $72,18 млрд). Это третья по величине покупка в долларовом эквиваленте за всю историю накопления компании топ-крипты за последние пять лет. И это отличные новости для лучших криптопресейлов лета. Когда $BTC получает поддержку крупных институциональных игроков, это обычно поднимает общий рыночный настрой и вызывает новый интерес к проектам на ранних стадиях. Стратегия Сэйлора: покупать и хранить $BTC в течение 21 года В недавнем интервью основатель Strategy Майкл Сэйлор подтвердил долгосрочное видение компании. Он рассказал, что планируют держать $BTC до 21 года, ожидая доходность не менее 50% в год и усиление позиций с течением времени. Подтверждая долгосрочный тезис Сэйлора, стоимость BTC, которая сейчас оценивается в $114 000, выросла более чем на 125%. Поэтому неудивительно, что Strategy остается крупнейшим корпоративным держателем биткоинов в мире. И ее подход приносит свои плоды. Во втором квартале 2025 года компания отчиталась об операционной прибыли в размере $14 млрд, которая почти полностью обеспечена активами в $BTC, что на целых 7000% больше, чем в следующем году. Учитывая, что такие крупные игроки, как Strategy, идут ва-банк на $BTC, легко понять, почему инвесторы проявляют все больший интерес к ранним криптопроектам, таким как Maxi Doge ($MAXI), Snorter Token ($SNORT) и blockDAG ($DAG). Это особенно актуально, если принять во внимание, что они доступны по самым низким ценам до момента появления на крупных биржах. 1. Maxi Doge ($MAXI) – Shiba Inu на стероидах, созданная для трейдеров с 1 000x плечом Вдохновленная знаменитым персонажем Shiba Inu, как и легендарные мем-коины $DOGE и $SHIB, “стероидный” Maxi Doge ($MAXI) стремительно привлекает внимание. С момента запуска на прошлой неделе проект уже собрал более $359 000 на предпродаже. Ранний успех объясняется тем, что токен изначально создан для торговли с плечом 1 000x и призван передать ощущение “$MAXI pump”. Проект ориентирован на трейдеров, которые ищут максимальные риски ради взрывных прибылей, что идеально вписывается в современную культуру мем-криптовалют. Источник: Maxi Doge Его токеномика также, вероятно, привлекает внимание. Значительные 40% от общего предложения токенов выделены на маркетинг, а дополнительные 25% идут в Фонд Maxi для “максимальной экспозиции проекта и оптимальной динамики пампа” – каждое из этих решений демонстрирует приверженность устойчивости проекта. То, что также отличает $MAXI, – это план подключения к платформам фьючерсной торговли, как отмечено в четвертой фазе дорожной карты. Для спекулятивной мем-монеты это знаменует смелый шаг к практическому использованию и долгосрочной актуальности. Возьмем, к примеру, $SHIB. Он превратился из мем-монеты в богатый утилитами альткоин со своей собственной децентрализованной биржей (ShibaSwap), коллекционной карточной игрой (Shiba Eternity) и блокчейн-сетью Layer 2 (Shibarium). Подпитываемый растущим использованием dApp, $SHIB может подняться с текущей цены $0,00001220 до $0,000041 в следующем году. Если $MAXI последует аналогичным путем, его предпродажа на раннем этапе может стать редкой возможностью до того, как спрос выйдет из-под контроля. Вы можете приобрести $MAXI на предпродаже всего за $0,0002505, используя $ETH, $USDT, $USDC или $BNB. 2. Snorter Token ($SNORT) – Монета, вдохновленная трубкозубом, готовая вынюхать высокопотенциальные криптовалюты Snorter Token ($SNORT) является основой Snorter Bot – торгового бота в Telegram. После запуска в этом квартале он поможет вам выявлять взрывные проекты до того, как они станут вирусными и потенциально вырастут в 1000 раз. Источник: Snorter Token Snorter Bot сначала появится в сети Solana, чтобы использовать ее высокую скорость и низкие комиссии, затем расширится на Ethereum и BNB Chain, а позже получит поддержку Polygon и Base. Такой мультичейн-подход обеспечит пользователям гибкость торговли на самых активных криптоэкосистемах. Бот также оснащен системой обнаружения rug pull и honeypot, чтобы помочь избежать мошеннических проектов. С учетом того, что рынок криптотрейдинговых ботов прогнозируется с ростом примерно на 14% CAGR и может достичь $154 млрд к 2033 году, $SNORT нацелен на развитие вместе с индустрией. Особенно это актуально, поскольку токен открывает доступ к премиальным функциям, правам управления и стейкингу с доходностью 156% годовых. Токен $SNORT сейчас можно купить на предпродаже по $0,1003. Сейчас удачный момент для участия, так как после выхода на биржи токен может торговаться около $0,94, что сулит потенциальную прибыль до ~836%. 3. BlockDAG ($DAG) – Усиливает основной слой блокчейна и привлекает свыше $362 млн $DAG – это основа BlockDAG, передового блокчейна первого уровня, который сочетает безопасность подтверждения работы (PoW) как у Биткоина и скорость и масштабируемость собственной архитектуры на основе направленного ацикличного графа (DAG). Проще говоря, он позволяет параллельно подтверждать блоки, обрабатывая тысячи транзакций в секунду. Будучи полностью совместимым с EVM, он облегчает доступ и разработку. Благодаря этому смарт-контракты и dApps на базе Ethereum легко запускаются в сети с минимальными изменениями. В BlockDAG также есть такие функции, как конструктор смарт-контрактов без кода, мобильный майнинг (через приложение X1 Miner) и гибкие модули распределения комиссий для создателей dApps. Источник: BlockDAG $DAG используется для оплаты комиссий за транзакции, взаимодействия со смарт-контрактами и вознаграждений сообщества, что делает его мощным utility-токеном с высоким потенциалом роста. Успех на раннем этапе предпродажи подчеркивает значимость токена: он уже привлек свыше $362 миллионов, несмотря на то что один $DAG в настоящее время стоит всего $0,0016 и пока не торгуется на крупных биржах, как было обещано – MEXC, Coinstore, BitMart. Новые криптовалюты готовы к росту вместе с $BTC С крупными институтами вроде Strategy, совершающими миллиардные движения в $BTC и демонстрирующими долгосрочный интерес к криптовалютам, импульс наверняка продолжит нарастать во всем пространстве. Независимо от того, интересуетесь ли вы мем-монетами вроде Maxi Doge ($MAXI), торговыми ботами как Snorter Token ($SNORT) или новаторскими Layer 1 инициативами наподобие BlockDAG, каждый из этих проектов на ранней стадии может выиграть от растущего рыночного оптимизма.

Meme coins are known for hype, volatility, and short lifespans. But Little Pepe ($LILPEPE) is trying to rewrite that narrative. With over $16M raised across multiple presale stages, the project is building more than a token – it’s launching its own Layer 2 blockchain for meme coins, complete with zero-tax trading, bot protection, and a fully integrated launchpad for new projects. As speculation rages across the meme coin sector, Little Pepe is positioning itself as the infrastructure that future meme tokens can rely on – offering fast, secure, and low-cost transactions on a blockchain purpose-built for virality. Little Pepe Story So Far – Viral From Birth Little Pepe came out swinging, with strong presale momentum as soon as it launched. Stage 1: Sold out in 3 days – $500K raised at $0.001 per token Stage 2: Price bumped to $0.0011-$0.0015, demand increased – $1.23M+ raised Stage 3: Token price rose to $0.0012 Stage 4: The presale raised $2.9M Stage 5: Price is at $0.0014, and the raise is over $5.1M Fast-forward a bit, and the presale now sits at Stage 9. Tokens cost $0.0019 – and over $16.3M has poured into the presale so far. Why all the interest? Most meme coins are just ERC-20 tokens. Little Pepe is building the chain those meme coins will want to launch on. Most of the best meme coins ride the Ethereum or Solana wave, but both chains come with major downsides: high gas fees, slow confirmations, and vulnerable bot manipulation. Little Pepe’s Layer 2 directly addresses these pain points: Ultra-low gas fees for cheaper trading and better access for retail users Fast finality means no more waiting for confirmations during hype moments Bot protection provides built-in anti-sniping and fairer launches That said, Little Pepe is EVM-compatible, so existing dApps and token contracts can migrate seamlessly. Tokenomics support the presale, with over 26% reserved directly for the presale and another 30% kept for on-chain reserves. Real Utility – A Launchpad Built for Meme Coin Creators At the heart of Little Pepe’s ecosystem is Pepe’s Pump Pad, a user-friendly launchpad designed to make deploying new meme coins effortless and secure. Bypass the fuss of Ethereum launches and setting up smart contracts. With the Pump Pad, users can create tokens without writing a single line of code, lock liquidity automatically, and integrate default smart contract security measures. The system also includes built-in bot protection and allows for instant deployment on Little Pepe’s high-speed Layer 2 blockchain. Little Pepe’s Pump Pad gives meme coin creators a safe, streamlined platform to launch without losing any of that distinctive meme coin flair.. What’s Next for Little Pepe? Little Pepe’s development roadmap follows a quirky but clear trajectory: Pregnancy, Birth, and Growth. The current phase – Pregnancy – focuses on presale fundraising and community building. The upcoming Birth phase will introduce major exchange listings, first on DEXs, then expanding to CEXs as soon as possible. The Birth phase will also see an expanded marketing campaign. The final phase – Growth – will see the launch of the full Layer 2 blockchain and the rollout of ecosystem tools and partner integrations. After the presale concludes, users will be able to claim their tokens directly via the official website. Little Pepe enforces a zero-tax policy, meaning no buy or sell fees – a rare move in the meme coin space that encourages frequent and frictionless trading on-chain. The $777K Giveaway: How to Enter What’s one reason for all the buzz around Little Pepe? A massive $777K giveaway. A total of 10 winners will receive $77K each in $LILPEPE tokens. Entering is simple: participants must purchase at least $100 worth of tokens during the presale and complete social media engagement tasks – such as following and sharing content on X and Telegram. The more actions a participant completes, the higher their chances of winning one of the coveted $77K prizes. Little Pepe – Born to Run In a sea of copy-paste meme coins, Little Pepe is building real infrastructure. From its Ethereum-compatible Layer 2 chain to its one-click launchpad and zero-tax trading model, the project looks to transform the meme coin meta in 2025 and beyond. To join the presale, connect your MetaMask or Trust Wallet to the presale website. Buy $LILPEPE with $ETH or $USDT (ERC-20). You can also pay with a card through the official Little Pepe website. With over $16M raised and presale prices still under $0.0020, $LILPEPE might be one of the few frog tokens with real legs. Do your own research – this isn’t financial advice.

Solana opened August trading in a tight range just above $165. The coin has hovered near that level after a sharp run-up. Based on reports, big holders rotating profits and deeper DeFi ties are reshaping the outlook for SOL. Related Reading: Crash Incoming? Kiyosaki Warns Of ‘August Curse’ And Reveals His Bitcoin Buy Zone Solana Holds Critical Support Zone According to on-chain data, SOL has formed what looks like a Golden Cross on its daily chart, where the 50-day moving average crossed above the 200-day line. A pullback to around $160 has lined up with both the 200 EMA and a key trendline. Analysis shows that the $161–$166 area has become a firm floor. If buyers defend that pocket, SOL could climb toward the first barrier near $189 and then test $206. Analyst Mary Emerald has penciled in a move up to $256, a gain of about 60% from today’s prices. On its own, SOL has already jumped more than 50% from earlier lows this year. Prices still face pressure, though. The MACD histogram is negative and hasn’t shown a clear turn upward. That hints that bears have some edge until momentum shifts. Keeping an eye on trading volume around $189 will be key. A strong break and close above that level could open the door to higher targets. New Mobile Phone Starts Shipping In 50 Countries Meanwhile, with the long-awaited Seeker phone now available in over 50 countries, traders are growing more optimistic about Solana’s price as they eye a possible breakout. The handset combines Web3 functionality with a familiar smartphone experience, using hardware-level security to keep private keys and seed phrases completely separate from the app layer. This development makes Solana a more appealing platform for developers, fuels a vibrant ecosystem and expands SOL’s role as a utility token. Seekers officially start shipping today! Thank you for your support and belief in Solana Mobile since day one. We’re sending tens of thousands of devices to 50+ countries around the world, so sit tight as your order makes its way through over the coming weeks. pic.twitter.com/dQtkWi26JB — Seeker | Solana Mobile (@solanamobile) August 4, 2025 Forecasts Suggest Modest Gains Ahead Based on the latest Solana price prediction, SOL is set to rise by 5.28% and reach $173 by September 5, 2025. Over the past 30 days, SOL has recorded 16/30 green days with 7.66% volatility. Current sentiment reads as neutral and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 50. Related Reading: Crypto Fantasy Or Future? Expert Predicts XRP Will Hit $1 Million Looking at these metrics, a move toward $173 by early September seems likely if SOL can hold above $166. Failing that, a drop to $58 could prompt a deeper test of support. If buyers can lock in gains around $165 and power SOL above $189 on solid volume, the path to $206—and maybe even $256—comes into view. Until that happens, though, traders may want to wait for clearer signs that momentum has flipped. Featured image from Nansen Research, chart from TradingView Source: newsbtc.com (Read Full Article)

Crypto analyst Mark Cullen has laid out the game plan for the Bitcoin price amid the flagship crypto’s choppy price action. Based on his analysis, BTC could either crash to $100,000 or rally to $122,000, close to its current all-time high (ATH) of $123,000.  The Game Plan For The Bitcoin Price In an X post, Mark Cullen shared what he described as the ‘Bitcoin game plan.’ He noted that BTC is filling out the inefficient area between the two previous weekly ranges. The analyst further remarked that the next move will be determined by how the Bitcoin price breaks out or breaks down from this range.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Completes Inverted Head & Shoulders Pattern Above $110,000, What This Means Cullen stated that a break above $116,000 and holding above the previous range low could help the Bitcoin price build a bullish structure for a bigger squeeze to new ATHs later this month. His accompanying chart showed that BTC could first rally to around $122,000, close to its current ATH, before it breaks above to new highs.  On the other hand, there is also the possibility of the Bitcoin price declining further. The analyst stated BTC is likely to crash to $100,000 if it loses the weekend low at around $111,000 and fails to attempt a reclaim of $112,000. Cullen declared that critical weeks’ price action is ahead for the flagship crypto, seeing as it is at a crossroads.  It is worth mentioning that BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes is one of those who believe that the Bitcoin price could still crash to $100,000. Hayes recently predicted that BTC will retest this level while ETH retests $3,000. He alluded to the tariffs as one of the reasons crypto prices would drop this low. The crypto founder also suggests that there is currently no available liquidity to boost the prices of these assets. The last time that Bitcoin was at $100,000 was towards the end of June, before it then went on to reach new all-time highs in July. BTC Could Still Drop To As Low As $95k Crypto analyst Ali Martinez has indicated that the Bitcoin price could still drop to as low as 95,000. In an X post, he noted that the last two times the weekly RSI dropped below the 14 SMA, BTC corrected by 20% to 30%. Therefore, he remarked that the flagship crypto could fall to $95,000 if history repeats itself.  Related Reading: Satoshimeter Shows Where Bitcoin Price Is In This Cycle In the meantime, the $112,000 level is the level to watch for the Bitcoin price. Titan of Crypto described this level as the line in the sand,” as BTC continues to reject the bearish Fair Value Gap (FVG) at around $114,000. At the time of writing, the Bitcoin price is trading at around $114,000, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
