Aave price could explode above $200: here’s the forecast

8 December 2025 at 12:15
  • Aave price jumped to highs of $200 as cryptocurrencies recorded an uptick on December 8, 2025.
  • While market sentiment is weak, bulls could dominate price action toward $300.
  • Decentralized finance and overall bullish conditions will be key to the AAVE price.

Aave is in the green on the day as the decentralized finance heavyweight’s token captures renewed investor attention.

On Monday, AAVE traded at $193 at the time of writing, having touched highs of $200 and reflecting a robust recovery from recent dips.

With bullish forecasts for Bitcoin and the broader market, it appears gains position AAVE for a potential explosive growth.

AAVE price gains amid altcoin surge

AAVE has been in a downtrend for over three months and remains constrained.

However, the DeFi token has posted a slight uptick over the past week, and current prices are well above the lows of $147 reached on November 21, 2025.

On Monday, the token climbed to highs of $200 before paring gains to around $193.

The Aave token’s uptick coincides with a broader altcoin bounce on Dec. 8.

As Bitcoin showed resilience above $90k, Ethereum broke above $3,100, Solana touched $136, and Chainlink advanced above $13.

For Aave, gains over the week stood at 17%, coming amid major stablecoin transfers and increased buzz around DeFi growth.

Aave is proving what stablecoin adoption at scale looks like.

On Dec. 5, the Aave lending pools witnessed huge USDT transactions, moves that highlight increased borrowing demand and liquidity.

Analysts see this and whale activity as potential catalysts for further gains.

AAVE price forecast

The current market outlook for cryptocurrencies aligns with broader risk asset and seasonal trends.

December has historically delivered notable gains for investors amid “Santa rallies”.

Aave’s 17% surge in the past week mirrors this outlook, even if it’s still early days.

Investors are also eyeing the Federal Reserve’s anticipated rate cut this week.

Bulls could sparkle above the $200 mark. However, volatility remains a concern, and support levels could be much lower.

From a technical point of view, key indicators point to short-term advantage for Aave bulls.

Price is above the critical resistance and support level at $178.

As can be seen on the chart below, buyers breached this level as the AAVE price pumped to highs of $385 between May and August 2025.

However, declines from the year-to-date peak also saw bears plunge the token’s value past $178 to lows of $147 in November. Prior to this, AAVE had crashed to $128 on October 10, 2025.

This means the token is in a descending channel.

AAVE Price Chart
Aave price chart by TradingView

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) reading currently hovers at 52. It’s upsloping and indicative of likely further room for upside movement. Bulls can do this without immediately entering the overbought territory.

Notably, the token recently broke above its 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) as bulls rallied.

This happened as part of a classic bullish confirmation move that has historically preceded significant upside action.

Aave’s daily chart shows the 50EMA is at $201.

Bearish risks, such as a Bitcoin correcting below $90,000, could cap gains at this mark.

However, bulls riding an upward wave could break higher, with $227 and $320 key levels.

Injective (INJ) jumps over 5% as price nears $6 amid volume surge and market rebound

8 December 2025 at 09:54
  • Injective price is up by over 5% in the past 24 hours, trading to an intraday high of $5.85.
  • Bulls could gain towards $10 but that is contingent on breaching $6 resistance.
  • INJ will ride broader market conditions and key network developments.

Injective’s native token is among the altcoins to post gains on December 8, 2025, rising more than 5% to highs of $5.85 as investor attention shifts ahead of a big week for risk asset markets.

INJ price looked to rise in a sharp rebound to $6, a level that provided the latest downward pressure on Dec. 4.

Notably, Injective’s surge arrives amid heightened trading activity.

Injective price rises to near $6 amid volume spike

Injective’s price trajectory has been in a downtrend since its all-time high of $52.75 in March 2024. As such, the token is $89% since that peak and 25% down in the past month.

However, the latest gains across the market have helped bulls, and INJ has rebounded from support around $5.

INJ traded at $5.71 at the time of writing, up more than 5% in the past 24 hours.

Bulls reached highs of $5.85 as they came close to the $6 psychological barrier. Trading volume also surged to $67 million, increasing by over 52% in the last 24 hours.

Why is Injective price up?

The token’s price gained alongside Bitcoin’s push to above $92,000, and Ethereum’s rebound above $3,100.

A similar uptick for the broader crypto market seems to have bolstered Injective.

Analysts have also attributed the spike to Injective’s recent integration with DexTools, exposing the chain to 15 million users for real-time asset monitoring.

Key appears to be momentum from Helix, a major decentralized spot and derivatives exchange for the INJ ecosystem.

The DeFi app’s upgrade that enabled gas-free, 24/7 trading of stocks, indices, and cryptocurrencies recently went live.

Meanwhile, the community has responded positively to a governance proposal and approval of a mechanism for on-chain equity pricing.

Moreover, traction across stablecoin deployments and real-world asset (RWA) initiatives has played a huge role.

INJ price forecast

Although the 24-hour high of $5.85 saw bulls flirt with $6, the technical picture is currently mixed. The broader price trajectory remains in a downtrend. An extension of this could spell doom for buyers.

Injective Price Chart

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) hovers at 44 and below the neutral level.

However, the indicator is upsloping and signaling a potential breakout. On the other hand, the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows weak bullish momentum. The indicator flashed a bullish crossover recently.

Looking ahead, INJ’s path bifurcates between bullish breakouts and cautious consolidation.

In the short term, a breakout above $6 will allow bulls to target $8.22 and then $10. Conversely, a dip below $5.05 could spell danger for buyers.

Zcash surges 12% as Monero slips: privacy coins diverge ahead of Fed meeting

8 December 2025 at 08:58
  • Zcash (ZEC) has surged into positive territory with double-digit advances over the past 24 hours.
  • As ZEC hovers above $380, the privacy coin Monero (XMR) is down 2% at $372.
  • XMR price earlier dropped to lows of $360.

Zcash and Monero, two top privacy coins, have witnessed differing price movements on Monday as the overall cryptocurrency market remained largely subdued.

Bitcoin hovered just above $92,000 ahead of the highly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting, while BNB, Solana, and XRP all looked to mirror Ethereum’s slight gains.

Nonetheless, bulls’ failure to ignite a widespread rally sees many altcoins hover well off recent peaks, including Zcash and Monero.

Zcash price sees double-digit gains

Zcash posted gains of over 12% as the token’s value jumped from around $334 to near $400.

Per data from CoinMarketCap, the privacy coin reached highs of $398 across major crypto exchanges, extending gains above $380.

While current prices of $383 are well off the recent peaks above $700, buyers may fancy new momentum as ZEC benefits from the sentiment that saw it switch from a laggard into a top-20 cryptocurrency by market cap.

A surge in shielded transactions, with Zcash positioned as a private alternative to Bitcoin, highlights the confidence. Open interest in Zcash futures sits at over $783 million, down from $1.3 billion in November.

However, robust speculative engagement is intact as seen in the past 24 hours, with liquidations hitting over $10 million.

Coinglass data shows 80% of 24-hour liquidations for ZEC are shorts, likely caught off guard amid the sudden price jump.

Should Zcash breach the $400 resistance, bulls may push toward $500 and target the year-to-date peaks. On the flipside, a breakdown below $370 could give sellers an upper hand.

Monero price risks fresh losses

In contrast to Zcash Monero has dipped in the past 24 hours.

The privacy coin fell to lows of $360 earlier in the day, and now faces an uphill battle after fresh rejections around the $380 mark.

XMR price is currently around $372 and shows a decline of nearly 2% in the past 24 hours and 10% in the past week.

Comparatively, the ZEC price is up more than 11% in the same seven-day period.

Losses for Monero extended to four consecutive bearish daily candles on December 7, 2025. Bulls are therefore looking to prevent a fifth red candle.

Monero Price Chart
Monero price chart by TradingView

Yet, as bears have recently erased most of November’s gains to highs of $470.

The dip to $360 thus leaves Monero vulnerable to further erosion if support falters. As with other altcoins, the primary drivers of Monero’s malaise revolve around macroeconomic pressures.

XMR also trades in a broadening wedge pattern, and the area around $400 has proved key to bears.

Elsewhere, futures open interest has contracted to $54 million, down from $67 million on December 1, 2025, and from a recent peak of $98 million on November 10,2025.

The token has also dropped amid a double-top formation at $435, which means a short term dip to support in the $335 region looms.

Bitcoin price forecast ahead of Fed decision

8 December 2025 at 07:10
  • The Bitcoin price is at $92,200 in intraday trading on December 8, 2025.
  • The benchmark digital asset is slightly bullish after bulls suffered a negative tilt in November.
  • While weakness continues to linger as price hovers near the $90,000 mark, eyes are on the US Federal Reserve.

Bitcoin is showing signs of bullish reversal, with the latest upside momentum pushing the BTC price above $92,000 as risk assets gain ahead of a key Federal Reserve meeting.

As stock futures rose ahead of Wall Street’s open on Monday, Bitcoin mirrored the move with a 3% rise to $92,220.

The technical picture shows a classic ascending triangle formation on the daily chart, suggesting a possible sharp upside move toward $95,000 and $100,000 in the coming days.

Meanwhile, Ethereum is currently above $3,100 and could eye $3,500-$4,000 area.

Across altcoins, the BNB price could jump above $1,000 after Binance’s major regulatory milestone.

Bitcoin gains amid Fed rate cut anticipation

On Monday, US stock futures recorded gains as investors weighed the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday.

While modest, the uptick aligns with major gauges’ consecutive weekly gains.

BTC has also tapped green in the past week after falling to lows of $80,000 amid a tough November.

Investors expect the Fed to cut interest rates, and markets are upbeat. 

The tame personal consumption expenditures (PCE) price index helped this outlook.

PCE is a key US inflation reading, and its print adds to the confidence that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will announce a rate cut this week.

Could Bitcoin bulls push for $100k?

Bitcoin experienced notable price swings over the weekend as the price plunged below the $90,000 mark before recovering swiftly. 

The initial dip saw a cascade of long-position liquidations that exceeded $170 million, but as shorts piled in, BTC flipped higher and caught over-leveraged bears off guard.

QCP Group analysts shared this price movement detail via X on Monday.

Asia Colour – 8 Dec 25

1/ $BTC swung between 88k–92k over the weekend while $ETH saw sharp two-way moves, reflecting how thin year-end liquidity has become. Liquidations were modest, highlighting how positioning has continued to unwind.

— QCP (@QCPgroup) December 8, 2025

As of writing, BTC is showing signs of steady accumulation above $92k. 

“Focus shifts to Wednesday’s FOMC,” QCP analysts noted. “A 25bp cut is priced, but balance-sheet guidance will guide risk. With $BTC still stuck between 84k and 100k, a break on either side could define the next major trend,” they added.

Support is from both institutional dip-buyers and retail accumulation, and a break in the $95,000-$105,000 region is likely.

Part of this is down to an ascending triangle pattern that has been developing on Bitcoin’s daily chart since mid-November. 

Bitcoin Price Chart
Bitcoin price chart by TradingView

The pattern, accompanied by contracting volatility and rising spot demand, offers a bullish outlook.

In Bitcoin’s case, a decisive close above the $92k level will bring $95k into play and the $100,000–$101,500 resistance zone. 

Renewed macro liquidity signals, buoyed by a positive Federal Reserve policy, will aid further technical breakout.

Binance hits major regulatory milestone in Abu Dhabi; BNB price gains

8 December 2025 at 05:42
  • The BNB token traded to highs of $910 with a slight bounce.
  • Binance has secured full licensing as a digital assets platform in Abu Dhabi.
  • Momentum could help bulls push the BNB price to above $1,000.

BNB price saw a slight uptick early Monday, retesting highs of $910.

This came as Binance, the world’s leading digital asset exchange, revealed it had achieved a landmark regulatory approval.

The token’s price increased by about 2% to $912 and looked poised for further gains as the broader market targeted fresh momentum.

As Binance celebrates its milestone, could the native token reclaim the coveted $1,000 mark?

Binance secures full license status in the UAE

One of the top crypto news stories today is from Binance, the leading crypto exchange by volume.

The exchange announced it had become the first global digital asset trading platform to secure full license status in Abu Dhabi.

Specifically, Binance has secured a comprehensive suite of licenses from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).

The licenses are issued under the regulatory purview of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

The milestone encompasses approvals for spot trading, derivatives, clearing, custody, and broker-dealer services, Binance said in a blog post. According to details, the licenses take effect on January 5, 2026.

“Achieving regulatory status through ADGM’s respected framework reflects our deep commitment to compliance, transparency, and user protection,” said Binance co-chief executive officer Richard Teng.

He added:

“ADGM is one of the most respected financial regulators globally, and holding an FSRA license under their gold standard framework shows that Binance meets the highest international standards for compliance, governance, risk management, and consumer protection.”

This regulatory milestone positions the UAE as a burgeoning hub for compliant cryptocurrency activities, enhancing Binance’s credibility amid growing institutional interest.

BNB price gains amid volume surge

As noted, the positive regulatory news has catalyzed a slight uptick in BNB’s price.

On December 8, 2025, BNB traded to highs of $910, up nearly 2% as bulls pushed from lows of $872.

The 24-hour gains in the token’s price came amid a substantial trading volume of $1.93 billion, up more than 38% in the time frame.

BNB price recently rose above $926 as Bitcoin and top altcoins retested key resistance levels.

BNB Price Chart
BNB price chart by TradingView

Gains came after the altcoin tested support near $800 on Dec. 1.

However, a strong bounce over the next two days allowed buyers to break above $900.

The token is eyeing a third straight green candle on the daily chart, and the next target will be $1,000.

Analysts say BNB could see fresh momentum, with the anticipated boost in institutional trust following the ADGM license approval key to this.

The token plays a major role as a foundational asset within the BNB Chain ecosystem, including for transactions and governance.

Overall traction amid regulatory clarity adds to its potential for growth.

Internet Computer (ICP) crashes to $3.50 as AI hype fades and market pressure mounts

5 December 2025 at 10:39
  • Internet Computer (ICP) price has dropped 6% in the past 24 hours to under $3.50.
  • Recently, the altcoin pumped from lows of $2.80 to above $9.62.
  • Overall market weakness could see ICP price tank further, although an uptick for Bitcoin will boost altcoins.
The Internet Computer (ICP) token has endured a sharp downturn in the past month, culminating in a 24-hour dip of over 6% as the price broke below $3.50.

Losses for Internet Computer come amid a 29% decrease in trading volume, suggesting bulls could benefit from reduced selling pressure.

However, with ICP briefly rallying on hype around AI integrations like the Caffeine platform, only to reverse course, it may yet allow bears to strengthen the upper hand.

Internet Computer price slips to $3.50

The ICP project, launched by the DFINITY Foundation, is one of the top artificial intelligence-related coins.

DFINITY aims to revolutionize the internet by enabling fully on-chain applications, from decentralized finance to AI-driven services, without reliance on traditional cloud providers.

In early November, the DFINITY Foundation unveiled an update for its AI platform Caffeine DeAI.

The news saw the price of ICP surge sharply, with bulls eventually hitting highs of $9.62 on Nov. 8, 2025.

ICP Price Chart
Internet Computer price chart by TradingView

The uptick aligned with market cheer for an update that pushed the narrative of the Internet Computer as a key AI cloud engine.

As well as allowing users to create and deploy apps easily, Caffeine features an App Market and supports monetization.

DFINITY said Caffeine will help drive network usage and transition ICP to a deflationary asset, among other features.

However, the token’s price has tumbled since that November peak and hit $3.50 on December 5, 2025. That’s a 64% dump in the past month and reflects broader market pressure.

What could catalyze short-term losses for ICP?

Market analysts have attributed the sell-off pressure across crypto to a confluence of factors.

As well as macroeconomic headwinds, FUD around Tether and Strategy (MSTR) has dampened risk appetite for Bitcoin (BTC) and the speculative assets across altcoins.

These same aspects apply to ICP and the dip to $3.50, with intraday revisits of lower levels, strengthening the fragile outlook.

Adding to this is the overall sentiment around token dumps if BTC price tanks.

Recently, when Bitcoin dipped to near $80,000, the Internet Computer token plummeted from above $5 to below $4.2.

Price currently hovers around $3.51 as Bitcoin flirts with support near $90,500. If momentum escapes bulls further, sellers could eye the all-time lows of $1.98 reached in October 2025.

On the flipside, the altcoin could benefit from network upgrades and adoption trends.

This, amid a resurgence in AI tokens and tokenized Bitcoin demand, may help buyers. A shift in sentiment as the macro environment improves will be crucial to bulls.

Chainlink partners with Coinbase on Base–Solana bridge as LINK targets new breakout levels

5 December 2025 at 09:16
  • Chainlink price hovered near $14, down 2% in the past 24 hours.
  • LINK remained under pressure despite two key integrations on Solana.
  • Coinbase and Chainlink have launched a Base-Solana bridge.

Chainlink continues to play a key role in the blockchain interoperability and asset tokenisation space, and that shows in the two latest integrations.

As a pivotal oracle network bridging decentralised finance (DeFi) with traditional systems, Chainlink’s traction is forecast to be a major factor for the native token LINK.

On December 5, 2025, LINK traded around $14.

Bulls were under pressure but remained upbeat amid recent advancements. Among these is the collaboration with Coinbase on the Base-Solana bridge and the integration into a Solana-based RWA consortium.

Chainlink and Coinbase to power Base-Solana bridge

Three major industry players here: Coinbase, Chainlink and Solana. Industry reaction to their latest collaboration highlights the potential impact.

Simply, the launch of the Base-Solana bridge marks a significant milestone in multi-chain connectivity. Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) serves as the security backbone alongside Coinbase’s node operators.

As announced, this mainnet deployment enables seamless asset transfers between Base and Solana.

CCIP will help verify all messages, ensuring tamper-proof and reliable token movements on Solana. In this case, users can now deposit SOL into Base applications, import any Solana Program Library (SPL) token, and export Base assets back to Solana.

“The bridge is now live on mainnet and rolling out for anyone to use in apps including Zora, Aerodrome, Virtuals, Flaunch, and Relay,’ Base said in a blog post. “Users will be able to trade SOL, CHILLHOUSE, TRENCHER, and many more Solana assets on Base.”

The Base-Solana bridge is live

Secured by @Chainlink CCIP alongside Coinbase, the bridge unlocks new cross-chain experiences:

• Support Solana assets natively in Base apps
• Enable users to trade & use assets across chains
• Bridge assets and tap into both ecosystems

Chainlink joins RWA initiative on Solana

Another major development is news that Chainlink has joined the newly formed RWA Consortium on Solana. The initiative, led by Figure Technology Solutions in partnership with Kamino Finance, CASH, Raydium, Privy, and Gauntlet, was announced on December 4, 2025.

Experts say real-world assets onchain value will grow exponentially in the next five years.

Early adoption has virtually every RWA now onchain and Solana plays a key role in this space. Chainlink too.

The new alliance aims to democratize access to over $1 billion in monthly onchain loan originations. First to deploy is PRIME,  a liquid staking token on the Hastra liquidity protocol.

“We’re democratizing access to institutional lending markets,” said Mike Cagney, founder and executive chairman of Figure. “For the first time, a DeFi user with $100 can participate in the same loan pools as major financial institutions, earning yields from real lending activity with full transparency and instant liquidity.”

LINK price forecast

Chainlink’s oracle infrastructure is central to this goal. Its technology will connect Solana’s developer-friendly environment with Figure’s $19 billion in tokenized loan originations.

These initiatives could further catalyse price appreciation for both LINK and SOL.

At the time of writing, LINK changed hands at $14 while Solana price hovered at $136. If prices rise further, the main short-term target will be highs above $26, last seen in August. SOL bulls will eye $200.

Other bullish catalysts will include crypto ETFs, regulatory clarity and a flip in global macroeconomic outlook.

Aster (ASTER) price rebounds as 2026 roadmap unveiled: will bulls target $1.50 next?

4 December 2025 at 10:38
  • Aster price could rally above $1 as the team unveils its 2026 roadmap.
  • The token hit highs of $2.42 as the decentralized exchange platform outpaced its peers.
  • Aster eyes a testnet, real-world asset upgrade, and native token staking.

Decentralized exchange platform Aster sees its price change hands at $1.04, having bounced off lows of $0.88.

While the DEX token is down 2% in the past 24 hours, buyers might target fresh upside action after the Aster team unveiled its highly anticipated roadmap for the first half of 2026.

The roadmap’s ambitious plans, with a focus on infrastructure, token utility, and community engagement, have the market excited about the token’s price potential.

Significantly, these new network goals come after a year of notable achievements for Aster.

Aster releases outline for 2026 roadmap

Aster has a robust ecosystem and community, despite being a relatively new project across the market.

Partnerships and key buyback initiatives have helped ASTER price, and on December 4, the team announced its upcoming roadmap.

The perpetuals and spot trading platform’s plan highlights a series of milestones starting in late 2025.

It includes the introduction of Shield Mode for private high-leverage trading and TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) strategy orders in early December.

Mid-December will see an upgrade to real-world asset (RWA) trading with deeper stock perpetual markets, followed by the launch of the Aster Chain testnet by the end of the month.

In 2026, the Aster Chain Layer 1 (L1) mainnet rolls out. This Q1 launch will be accompanied by fiat on/off-ramp capabilities and the Aster Code platform for developers.

According to the project, Q2 will introduce ASTER staking, on-chain governance, and smart-money tools to replicate top traders’ strategies.

“2025 was about proving Aster can ship: we merged Astherus & ApolloX, launched multi-asset margin, released our mobile app, completed TGE, listed on major CEXs, and introduced features like Hedge Mode, Trade & Earn, and our buyback program, and more,” the team wrote. “Now we’re doubling down on three foundational engines—Infrastructure, Token Utility, and Ecosystem & Community—each reinforcing the others in a continuous cycle.”

Aster sees this multifaceted approach as part of the commitment to build a scalable network that evolves with its users.

What’s the potential impact on Aster price?

ASTER exploded to an all-time high of $2.42 in September 2025, and the current price is off this peak by about 56%. Despite sell-off risk to under $1, bulls are up more than 1,140% since touching lows of $0.084 on Sept. 17, 2025.

Notably, the unveiling of Aster’s 2026 roadmap for Q1 and Q2 has ignited speculation about the potential impact on the token’s price.

From a technical analysis point of view, the DEX token looks to be poised for an upward move.

The daily chart shows a breakout from a key downtrend line.

Aster Price Chart
Aster price chart by TradingView

Both RSI and MACD indicators on the daily chart indicate a bearish outlook.

However, with the price above the downtrend line, fresh momentum could allow bulls to target $1.38. A potential surge toward $1.50 and $2.06 will open up a run to a new all-time high.

Should bullish momentum dissipate, flipped sentiment could allow for a revisit of the lows of $0.81.

TAO surges past $300 ahead of first halving, fueling bullish outlook for Bittensor

4 December 2025 at 08:09
  • Bittensor price jumped to above $300 as bulls showed signs of recovery.
  • TAO was bullish ahead of the AI token’s first network halving.
  • Gains for Bittensor come as Wall Street also flips bullish on the AI narrative.

Bittensor (TAO) traded green on the day on December 4, 2025, with sentiment bullish as the altcoin breached the $300 threshold.

This surge, occurring just days before the network’s historic halving event, could allow bulls to target recent highs.

Growing confidence in Bittensor’s role as a pioneering platform in decentralized AI and in machine learning incentives has TAO as one of the altcoins traders are watching.

Bittensor price jumps above $300

The cryptocurrency market has witnessed a notable uptick in the past 24 hours.

While bears continue to maraud amid potential profit-taking spikes, bulls are showing strength.

A flurry of activity surrounding Bittensor, a blockchain protocol that decentralizes AI model training and inference through a competitive subnet ecosystem, points to TAO price’s likely short term rally.

Bittensor Chart
Bittensor price chart by TradingView

In this case, TAO’s surge above $300 represents a pivotal moment. The altcoin surged to above $314 on Dec. 4 before paring some of the gains.

Significantly, Bittensor price dramatically jumped from around $300 on October 11, 2025, to hit $500 on November 2.

The rally in a little over three weeks nonetheless fizzled, and the TAO price is down about 28% in the past month.

The token’s correction came amid broader market jitters.

Bittensor and AI sector forecasts

Bittensor is a top AI-related coin by market cap, ahead of NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and RENDER.

Growth has included the project’s positioning as the marketplace for machine intelligence.

It’s where validators and miners earn TAO rewards for contributing computational resources and novel AI models. Prices have often spiked amid key AI developments, and that reflects amid latest outlook.

Wall Street giants point out that the AI boom that catapulted Nvidia and other stocks higher is not a bubble.

Noting that the sector could yet explode, BlackRock and Bank of America analysts have forecast a fresh supercycle. Key drivers of this include real corporate investments, major earnings, and productivity gains.

AI is not driven by the irrational exuberance that underpinned the dot-com bubble in the 2000s, the analysts noted.

The TAO price could rally amid the anticipated AI narrative resurgence.

What’s Bittensor’s upcoming halvening?

Bittensor’s inaugural halving, which is about 10 days away as of writing, is about network tokenomics. It mirrors Bitcoin’s supply-reduction strategy, but tailored to AI incentives.

Currently, the network emits approximately 7,200 TAO tokens daily to reward participants in its proof-of-intelligence consensus.

However, the halving will cut the emissions to 3,600 TAO. Bittensor has a total supply of 21 million TAO, and the halving, like in BTC’s case, ensures long-term scarcity as adoption grows.

The halving could thus catalyze price discovery. BTC jumped following its 2024 halving, and TAO bulls are likely to eye a return to $500.

Notably, the coin’s all-time high of $795.6 was reached in April 2024.

Avalanche price jumps above $14 on rising onchain adoption; analysts see path to $9 or $35

4 December 2025 at 06:51
  • Avalanche price jumped back above $14 as cryptocurrencies rose on Thursday.
  • Institutions accelerating onchain adoption and network momentum from November is key for bulls.
  • AVAX token’s value could surge to $35, but could also slip to $9 in the short term.

Avalanche (AVAX) price has rebounded to above $14, with the altcoin seeing gains amid robust on-chain metrics.

The latest report recounting key Avalanche milestones in November 2025 shows growing ecosystem adoption. Visible metrics include the number of transactions and the value of real-world assets onchain.

Gains for AVAX mirror broader altcoin market optimism that could gain momentum amid Ethereum’s breakout to above $3,200.

Investors and traders are also showing conviction despite overall market jitters.

Avalanche price gains

On December 4, 2025, the price of AVAX traded to a high of $14.95.

This 6% uptick sees AVAX up from a monthly low near $12.50, with 30-day losses currently down to 12%. Bulls have cut declines to just 1.5% in the past week.

November had seen Avalanche fall alongside top coins, driven by profit-taking after earlier highs.

Over the past week, the token has advanced to near the $15 mark, and intraday movements on December 4 highlight this momentum.

Meanwhile, trading volume has exceeded 554 million AVAX, suggesting improved liquidity and trader interest.

Technical upgrades and institutional inflows are two of AVAX’s top price catalysts.

Sustained network activity

Despite price declines over the past months, Avalanche’s network has demonstrated remarkable endurance. Details indicate that November marked a pinnacle of user engagement for the project.

AVAX treasury strategy moves also shone.

The C-Chain recorded 10.1 million monthly active addresses, which is its strongest performance of 2025. MAUs for the month surpassed October’s 9.2 million, and fueled a 22% year-over-year growth.

— Token Relations 📊 (@TokenRelations) December 1, 2025

Key November achievements include Dexalot’s 400 million transactions on its Avalanche L1, MapleStory Universe’s 100 million transactions, and Kite AI’s 436 million transactions alongside 715 million agent calls.

Real-world assets (RWAs) tokenized on Avalanche ballooned to $1.2 billion, a 66% monthly jump. Meanwhile, Pharaoh Exchange generated $283,000 in fees from $200 million in daily volume.

Recent data shows daily transactions hitting a cycle high of 2.57 million on November 30, supported by 470,000 active addresses.

Institutional moves, like FIS Global’s $9 trillion loan platform launch, further cement this activity.

“As regulatory clarity improves and institutions accelerate onchain, Avalanche’s architecture, scalability, and ecosystem position it where innovation meets utility. The momentum from November sets the stage for continued growth. The infrastructure is ready, institutions are coming, and Avalanche is powering what’s next,” the Avalanche Team noted in the blog post.

Avalanche price outlook

Overall, AVAX’s price trajectory remains largely bullish long-term. However, analysts say bears may not be done yet, and a pullback is likely.

Per analyst Ali Martinez, the charts paint a broadening wedge pattern for Avalanche. While prices could spike to the key resistance line, a breakdown towards the support trendline could bring $9 into play.

“A right-angled ascending broadening wedge breakout puts Avalanche $AVAX on track for $9,” the analyst wrote.

On the other hand, a technical breakout could allow bulls to target $20. As momentum builds from current support, further gains could bring $35 into the bulls’ view.

Cardano touches $0.43 again, but can ADA breakout this time?

3 December 2025 at 10:02
  • Cardano price consolidates in the $0.43 region after double-digit gains in 24 hours.
  • ADA is near the middle point of a key downtrend channel.
  • With potential tailwinds in the offing, can ADA price see another leg up?

Cardano (ADA) remains the ninth-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalisation, with bulls keeping the token anchored above $0.40.

The latest rebound toward $0.43 after briefly slipping below that mark last week has revived optimism, reinforcing expectations of a potential push higher.

A decisive move above $0.50 will likely depend on broader market sentiment, continued strength in Bitcoin and renewed inflows into altcoins.

On the flip side, any deterioration in risk appetite or renewed selling pressure across majors could stall ADA’s momentum in the near term.

With the altcoin posting double-digit gains in the past 24 hours, traders are watching its intraday structure closely to gauge whether the current bounce can extend into a more convincing breakout.

Cardano price jumps above $0.43

In the early hours of December 3, 2025, ADA surged by more than 10%.

Most of these came within a 12-hour window that also saw Solana, Sui and Ethena rank as top gainers.

ADA climbed from an intraday low near $0.398 to a high of $0.446 on major exchanges.

Trading volume spiked by more than 67% compared to the previous 24-hour period, reaching over $1 billion.

Accompanied by price gains, this signalled renewed investor interest.

The recovery aligns with broader positive sentiment in the cryptocurrency market.

Fresh inflows into spot Bitcoin ETFs and growing institutional adoption narratives have added to macro expectations to buoy altcoins.

Increased bullish momentum could push the token’s value higher.

ADA price key hurdles: technical outlook

Despite the encouraging rebound, several technical obstacles remain before a sustainable bullish breakout can be confirmed.

On the daily timeframe, ADA continues to trade within a multi-month descending channel that began after the local top near $0.89 in October 2025.

The upper boundary of this channel currently sits around $0.465–$0.48.

Cardano price hovers below the middle point, and declines have coincided with the 50-day exponential moving average (EMA) , which is dipping.

This widely watched gauge of short-term trend currently has its resistance focused around $0.53.

A decisive daily close above $0.48 would be required to invalidate the prevailing bearish structure.

If this happens, ADA will target the 50-EMA, with immediate resistance at $0.59 and the $0.68 zone.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the daily chart has climbed up from oversold territory.

However, it remains below the neutral threshold, leaving room for uncertainty.

Yet, decisive action may benefit from the bullish momentum of the Moving Average Convergence Divergence indicator.

Bulls will mainly target that spot where the 50-day EMA and the upper trendline of the aforementioned channel show potential convergence.

On the flipside, a failure to hold $0.40 on a closing basis would expose ADA to a retest of $0.30.

SUI rockets 30% on Coinbase regulatory breakthrough: will the Layer-1 hit new 2025 highs?

3 December 2025 at 08:46
  • Sui pumped nearly 30% as bulls extended gains seen on December 2, 2025.
  • Coinbase announced that New York residents can now access Sui on the exchange.
  • SUI price hit intraday highs of $1.79 as the broader crypto market posted a rebound.

Sui (SUI) surged nearly 30% as cryptocurrencies showed renewed optimism on Wednesday, with a regulatory breakthrough that allows New York residents to buy Sui on Coinbase, bolstering the altcoin.

The sharp rally, which unfolded over the past 24 hours, pushed the layer-1 blockchain’s native token to an intraday high of $1.79, a level not seen since mid-November.

Earlier in the session, SUI had mirrored the broader cryptocurrency market’s weakness, dipping to lows of $1.38 amid profit-taking and macro uncertainty.

However, a swift reversal, fueled by renewed buying pressure and positive exchange-related developments, quickly erased those losses and turned sentiment bullish.

Sui price outpaces top altcoins- why did SUI explode 30%?

Sui’s near-30% intraday advance significantly outperformed most large-cap altcoins, many of which posted single-digit gains during the same period.

Bitcoin rose roughly 7% to highs of $93,000 before paring some of the gains, while Ethereum climbed 9% but remained tethered near $3,000. Elsewhere, Solana managed around 10% to above $140.

SUI’s pump signaled relative strength, with the latest leg higher extending momentum that began on December 2.

Notably, these gains come after Coinbase announced that New York residents can now purchase and hold Sui directly on the exchange and its mobile applications.

New York residents can now access Sui on @coinbase. https://t.co/nLK5HQWXGf

— Sui (@SuiNetwork) December 1, 2025

Trading volume across major centralized exchanges spiked in tandem with the price surge. Per CoinMarketCap, the token’s 24-hour volumes exceeded $1.85 billion, up about 202% on the day.

What’s the Sui price outlook

Notably, multiple catalysts could align to allow bulls to test key levels. That’s because analysts see several tailwinds that could propel SUI higher in the coming weeks and months.

At the macro level, the Fed’s rate decision and leadership a leading short-term catalysts.

Growing expectations of a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment in the US and spot ETFs, as well as treasury asset moves, also add to the upbeat mood.

On the fundamental front, Sui’s ecosystem continues to expand rapidly across high-growth verticals.

Gaming remains a standout sector, with major titles and studios migrating to Sui for its object-centric data model and sub-second finality. Total value locked in decentralized finance protocols on Sui has also climbed above $1.9 billion.

Also in the mix are real-world asset (RWA) tokenization initiatives, which have brought key institutional partnerships for tokenized treasuries and private credit to the blockchain network.

Traction in these segments provides Sui with diversified narrative drivers beyond pure speculation.

A look at technical indicators supports the bullish thesis.

If bulls hold above $1.60 and risk appetite remains intact, a move to $2.20 will be next. The all-time high of $5.35 reached in January 2025 is a near-term target.

CRO spikes 10% on Adlard’s appointment at Cronos Labs as Bitcoin breaks $90K

2 December 2025 at 10:47
  • Cronos token CRO traded higher on Tuesday as cryptocurrencies bid for an uptick.
  • The altcoin’s price was up more than 10% in 24 hours to $0.11.
  • Gains for the altcoin came amid a huge move by Cronos Labs, the accelerator arm of Crypto.com.

On Tuesday, the Cronos Labs team revealed the appointment of industry veteran Edward Adlard as Head of Ecosystem.

Timed amid growing adoption of the project’s offering, it is a move that sparked further positive market response.

CRO token gained by over 10% to above $0.11, a rebound from intraday lows of $0.098. Altcoins were up as Bitcoin price broke to $90,000.

Cronos Labs appoints new ecosystem head

Edward Adlard is the new Head of Ecosystem at Cronos Labs, the Crypto.com tied platform announced on December 2, 2025. The appointment positions him at the forefront of the network’s expansion strategy.

According to details, Adlard brings proven leadership in scaling ecosystems while prioritizing regulatory compliance. His stature as a veteran of the bridging of web2 and web3 adds to the expertise and expectations.

“Cronos has an active community, a strong technical foundation, and proven high-performance infrastructure,” Adlard stated in the official announcement.

He added:

“The next chapter is about accelerating ecosystem growth by deploying cutting-edge new use cases that drive an increase in users, liquidity, and builders. I believe Cronos is uniquely positioned to benefit from the maturing of global crypto regulations due to its institutional-ready stack, compliance-ready primitives, and opportunity to more deeply partner with Crypto.com.”

Notably, Adlard has recently served as CEO of Instalabs, a regulated institutional cross-chain bridge that facilitated seamless asset transfers across blockchains.

Before that, he was Vice President of Growth, Business Development, and Strategy at the Tezos Foundation.

At Tezos, Adlard helped shape ecosystem initiatives, chaired the investment committee, and directed funding toward infrastructure builders.

His web2 tenure at Amazon included spearheading the turnaround of the Amazon Money Store in the UK and overseeing Prime Video operations across Europe, honing skills in operational efficiency and multi-market expansion.

In his new role, Adlard will oversee ecosystem strategy, growth programs, partner integrations, and developer initiatives.

His mandate centers on accelerating institutional tokenization and fostering AI-driven innovations to enhance Cronos’s high-performance infrastructure.

CRO price jumps 10%

Amid the news, Cronos token’s price jumped. CRO is the utility asset powering transactions and staking on the Cronos network and has experienced sharp gains in recent months following ecosystem developments.

On Tuesday, CRO climbed from an overnight low of $0.098, touching highs of $0.11.

This marked a 10% uptick in 24 hours and came as trading volume spiked by over 38% to over $27 million.

While ecosystem news has helped bulls, Cronos’ price is also ticking up amid a 5% spike in Bitcoin’s price.

The benchmark digital asset recovered sharply on December 2, 2025, and traded above $90,000 as risk assets pumped.

JUST IN: Bitcoin is back over $90,000 pic.twitter.com/Adi4vQHuJe

— Lark Davis (@TheCryptoLark) December 2, 2025

BTC’s uptick and Cronos ecosystem’s growth, bolstered by Adlard’s expertise in regulated infrastructure, could bolster the short-term forecasts for CRO.

If bulls maintain control above $0.10, the potential for further gains means buyers eyeing $0.14 and then $0.20 next.

Toncoin eyes $2 as community cheers Cocoon launch on TON

2 December 2025 at 10:04
  • A bounce for altcoins sees Toncoin price recover above $1.50.
  • The integration of Cocoon has boosted bulls and could allow for a retest of $2.00.
  • TON is the cryptocurrency token of the Telegram ecosystem.

Toncoin (TON) has reclaimed the $1.50 level as a broader market rebound lifts sentiment across major cryptocurrencies.

TON was trading near $1.51 on Tuesday, up about 1.5%, after Cocoon — a decentralized confidential compute network — went live on The Open Network.

The launch is viewed as a significant step for the TON ecosystem and aligns with Telegram’s push toward a private, decentralized AI framework.

The development has provided a fresh catalyst for bullish momentum, with the community looking to build on the optimism and potentially drive TON higher in the sessions ahead.

Toncoin price: bulls eye momentum above $1.50

Toncoin slipped sharply after months of consolidating below $3.50 and $4.00, with sellers driving the token to a low of $1.45 on Monday, December 1, 2025.

The move mirrored the broader market’s November slowdown and the weaker start to the new month.

A modest recovery has followed. TON has edged back above $1.50, even as 24-hour trading volumes across major exchanges have fallen by about 10%.

The rebound is limited, but it gives buyers a narrow window to attempt a stronger move.

A continued bounce could open the way for a push toward $1.60, which may allow Toncoin to retest and potentially flip the earlier resistance zone around $2.36 into support.

TON integrates Cocoon for AI compute

Although Toncoin’s price remains vulnerable below $2.00, both traders and long-term holders are celebrating the arrival of Cocoon.

It is about real utility that ties GPU supply directly to TON token economics.

Per latest details, Cocoon has officially begun processing live user requests.

With the launch, the platform becomes the first decentralized artificial intelligence project on TON to offer fully confidential AI inference at scale.

Notably, the network enables GPU owners worldwide to rent out their hardware for privacy-preserving AI workloads, earning TON tokens as direct compensation.

Using Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) and zero-knowledge proofs, Cocoon ensures that sensitive data never leaves the secure enclave.

In short, it eliminates the privacy risks and high costs associated with centralized providers like AWS or Google Cloud.

Telegram itself is Cocoon’s anchor client and first major user, routing select AI features through the decentralized network to guarantee end-to-end confidentiality for its nearly one billion users.

BNB price eyes $1,000 as bulls rally on VanEck ETF filing and market rebound

28 November 2025 at 14:47
  • BNB traded above $880 as cryptocurrencies looked to bounce higher.
  • The gains could see bulls target the $1,000 mark and beyond, helped by overall market sentiment.
  • Technical indicators, however, paint a mixed picture.

BNB price is showing early signs of recovery amid a turbulent market week for altcoins, with the price having slipped off intraday highs of $903.

While prices hovered about 1.4% down in the past 24 hours, changing hands around $882, means bulls could eye a return to the key $900 mark and target $1,000.

Market optimism, institutional interest, and technical indicators could align for this to happen within the coming days or weeks.

Notably, the cryptocurrency’s resilience above $800 comes as Bitcoin stabilizes above $91,000 following a rebound from lows near $80,000.

While the market is mixed, bulls are showing resilience.

BNB price outlook

Although prices have dipped more than 35% from recent all-time highs, market experts remain bullish on BNB’s trajectory.

Even as short-term volatility persists, technical analyses suggest the token could reach an average price of $1,000 in the coming months.

Momentum could push the BNB price beyond the psychological level of $1,200 and then the ATH above $1,370.

Short-term, technical indicators support a mixed picture. BNB’s 50-day moving average is sloping and acting as a key hurdle around $1,050, while the relative strength index (RSI) at 40 signals neutral territory but with a potential dip before oversold recovery.

However, price saw a breakout above the resistance line of a falling wedge, and the MACD hints at a bullish crossover.

If BNB clears the $900 resistance, we could see a swift move to $1,000, potentially aligning with broader market stabilization.

As well as broader sentiment, BNB’s utility in the Binance ecosystem positions it for outperformance in a risk-on environment.

BNB price chart by TradingView

What’s bullish for BNB price?

Several key factors are converging to ignite BNB’s next leg higher, with the spotlight firmly on institutional inflows and whale dynamics.

At the forefront is the freshly filed VanEck BNB ETF, submitted to the SEC on November 21 for listing on Nasdaq.

The spot ETF would hold BNB directly, tracking the BNB Index without initial staking, although future yields via third-party providers could be added with notice.

If approved, VBNB could mirror the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, unlocking billions in traditional capital and enhancing BNB’s legitimacy.

Many see this as a game-changer for altcoin exposure, and social hype has surged.

Broader market stabilization is another tailwind.

Bitcoin’s rebound, following recent dovish remarks from New York Fed President John Williams, helped bulls. This eased last week’s panic selling, where BTC plunged below $80,000.

Losses for BTC dragged altcoins down.

Exchange-traded product flows have also flipped positive after consecutive net outflows. Despite subdued large-whale demand overall, inflows at support levels around $800 suggest discounted buying ahead of a rally.

Crypto market mixed as Bitcoin tests $93K, Ethereum and XRP hit major resistance

28 November 2025 at 13:10
  • Bitcoin price rose to near $93,000 on Friday before sell-off pressure resumed.
  • Ethereum and XRP also climbed but faced key hurdles around $3,000 and $2.25.
  • Sentiment remains downbeat across the crypto market despite notable gains for a few top altcoins.

The cryptocurrency market continued to witness a mixed outing on Friday, with Bitcoin retesting the $92,500 mark while Ethereum and XRP both broke to key resistance areas.

While gains indicated renewed investor optimism amid broader economic uncertainties, the swift retreat to below $91k for BTC highlights the fragile market sentiment.

Also, while Sky, Monero and Bitcoin Cash gained, Zcash, Dash and Aptos led the top losers in the leading 100 coins by market cap.

Bitcoin breaks to highs near $93k

Bitcoin’s price marked a decisive breach of the $92,500 resistance level by rising to near $93,000.

On Friday, the benchmark asset hit highs of $92,969 across major exchanges. However, the level has proved a robust barrier that means the quest to break higher towards the psychological $100 mark continues to evade bulls.

QCP Group analysts shared the short-term Bitcoin price outlook via an X post. They see mid-$90k levels as key supply wall zones, while major support remains in the $82k-$80k area.

“Options markets show caution even as year-end BTC call open interest stays heavy. Skew, IV and sentiment have softened, reinforcing a rangebound profile. Supply likely caps moves toward mid-90Ks, while support sits near 80–82K, leaving macro catalysts firmly in control of direction.”

Despite the dip to below $91k as of writing, BTC’s gains earlier in the day allowed layer-1 and layer-2 solutions on the Bitcoin network to post gains.

As noted, BounceBit and Stacks were among the Bitcoin ecosystem tokens to see an uptick.

But as prices have dipped again, rather than bounce higher, this latest move could be a dead cat bounce.

ETH and XRP face resistance

Like Bitcoin, Ethereum has struggled to sustain momentum. Recently, the top altcoin fell to lows of $2,600 after closing above $4,000 in late October. The breach of the $3,000 level threatened more pain for bulls.

However, after testing the demand reload zone, the ETH price has jumped back to the resistance area above $3,000.

That’s despite a 25% dip over the past month.

While prices are nearly 9% up in the past week, ETH’s inability to break higher reflects broader altcoin fatigue. Bitcoin’s drop to $90,504 at the time of writing suggests a potential downward cascade for ETH.

XRP has fared similarly, trading at $2.18 amid a 1.4% dip in the past 24 hours.

The token faces formidable overhead resistance at $2.25 and at $2.50. Per market data, the latter marks a level at which bulls have struggled since the crash on Oct. 10,2025.

The launch of spot XRP ETFs in recent days has failed to help bulls break higher.

Bitcoin cash holds above $500 as whales accumulate; analysts eye potential rally

28 November 2025 at 10:23
  • Bitcoin Cash (BCH) is well above the $500 threshold amid broader market fluctuations.
  • This resilience signals potential confidence in potential to bounce higher.
  • As the Bitcoin price rises above $92,000, what lies ahead for BCH?

Bitcoin Cash is trading at near $539, just in the green on the daily chart, and counting a modest $562 million in daily volume. The token, a fork of Bitcoin, crucially remains above the pivotal $500 mark.

The BCH token’s price stability comes after a period of consolidation, but can bulls take control of the situation?

In the past 24 hours, altcoins like Monero have soared to lead gainers.

As highlighted, XMR price has jumped in contrast to the downward action for Zcash. Bitcoin ecosystem tokens also surged as BTC price recovered to near $92,000 earlier in the day.

What’s bullish for Bitcoin Cash?

Bitcoin Cash traded at lows of $258 in April, but a steady climb amid overall bullish market sentiment saw BCH hit highs of $650 in September. While price has traded lower since, bulls managed to break higher off support in mid-October.

Several factors, such as Bitcoin’s rally and BCH adoption across payments, helped bulls.

Further network activities have bolstered Bitcoin Cash, in particular, smart contract capabilities, attracting developers and fostering ecosystem growth.

Institutional interest has also played a role.

Overall, buzz around spot exchange-traded funds approvals in key jurisdictions has funneled fresh capital into altcoins. BCH has thus remained mostly bullish despite macroeconomic uncertainty, including the US Federal Reserve rate cut.

Markets rebounded this week as top central bank officials urged the Fed to cut rates in December.

The price of Bitcoin and altcoins, including Bitcoin Cash, could surge as a result. Notably, cryptocurrencies gained as the US Dollar index risked further weakness on Friday.

BCH price forecast

On the daily chart, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 53, suggesting neutral momentum.

The indicator aligns with potential room for upward mobility given a bullish divergence. Importantly, Bitcoin Cash’s perch above $500 reflects its foundational strengths. As such, market synergy could see BCH price eye more gains.

According to crypto analyst CW, whales have been busy around current BCH prices, and this could signal upcoming momentum.

“$BCH whales are preparing something,” the analyst posted on X. “Signals of a recent holdings exchange have been observed repeatedly. Just 3 hours ago, over 140k $BCH were traded in 1 hour.”

The analyst added:

“Whales are exchanging hands in the $525-$550 range. Once this process is complete, a full-scale rally [could] begin.”

TRON price prediction as TRX hits $0.28 resistance

28 November 2025 at 09:39
  • TRON price hovers above $0.28, largely unchanged in the past week.
  • Despite the consolidation, TRX looks poised to go higher.
  • Recent network developments, including stablecoin growth and partnerships, buoy bulls.

TRON (TRX) has shown limited upward momentum in recent sessions but continues to hold near the key $0.28 level, even as volatility across the crypto market keeps investors cautious.

TRX is trading around $0.28 after a modest 0.4% dip over the past 24 hours, reflecting broader market weakness and a lack of clear direction.

Sentiment remains fragile following Bitcoin’s slide to $80,000 last week before rebounding toward $92,000, a move that has kept traders on edge.

Still, TRON has managed a mild recovery from recent lows near $0.27, offering a tentative sign of strength despite the uncertain backdrop.

What could aid the TRX price?

The question of whether Tron could ignite a parabolic rally arises from TRON DAO’s growth and expansion across the market.

For instance, TRON has dominated the stablecoin market in terms of total transfers year-to-date. USDT supply on TRON surpassed $80 billion in July.

Leo Chan, a small business owner in Asia, recently highlighted why TRON is seeing huge adoption in stablecoins.

“When I need to make payments at traditional banks, I need to do some paperwork,” Leo said. “I may face delays and lose business. With TRON, recipients can instantly get the payment.”

While it sits above peers in global USDT activity, 2025 also boosts many other notable feats, including daily active users and integrations.

Platforms such as Chainlink and MetaMask have helped elevate TRON’s reach, expanding access beyond stablecoin transfers into decentralized finance, tokenized assets and retail payments.

In terms of adoption, the latest data shows TRON’s total accounts have surpassed 346 million.

This ecosystem growth speaks to rapid growth amid an explosion in decentralized finance.

— TRONSCAN (@TRONSCAN_ORG) November 18, 2025

Recently, TRON’s DeFi arm, TRONBANK, secured $10 million in funding.

The strategic financing will help accelerate lending and staking innovations, likely bolstering total value locked in the protocol.

Tron rice prediction

TRON’s price outlook remains cautiously optimistic despite recent dips.

Notably, upside projections hinge on network adoption and macroeconomic shifts.

If bulls gain, the next targets could be $0.35 and $0.50.

TRON Price Chart
TRON price chart by TradingView

With a market cap exceeding $26 billion, TRX ranks as the eighth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap.

The token has seen over $535 million in intraday trading volume.

Bulls saw the token touch the all-time high of $0.44 in December 2024.

Technical indicators add fuel, such as a double-bottom pattern formed in early November, which signals a potential reversal from bearish depths.

As can be seen on the chart above, TRX has rebounded slightly but remains within a downtrend.

RSI is below 50  but suggesting an uptick, as is the MACD on the daily chart, indicating a potential bullish crossover.

Bitcoin ecosystem tokens gain as BTC surges above $91k

28 November 2025 at 07:33
  • The price of Bitcoin gaining to $91,900 has buoyed many ecosystem tokens.
  • BounceBit is among the top gainers in the Bitcoin ecosystem, and Stacks is eyeing fresh momentum.
  • BTC traded around $91,257 as of writing amid macro headwinds.

Several cryptocurrencies within the Bitcoin ecosystem rose as the benchmark digital asset surged past the $91,900 mark.

BTC’s recovery from last week’s rout to $80,000 lifted sentiment across related ecosystem tokens, with BounceBit (BB) and Stacks (STX) among the standout performers.

Further gains for the bellwether cryptocurrency could signal similar moves for BB, STX, and others.

Bitcoin price bounces to $91,700

Bitcoin has demonstrated notable resilience after last week’s dump, with bulls recovering after briefly dipping toward the psychologically significant $80,000 level.

Strong buying pressure at that threshold triggered a sharp reversal, propelling BTC first through $85,000 and subsequently to above $90,000.

During Asian trading hours on Friday, BTC hit intraday highs of $91,977 on Coinbase.

Bitcoin’s uptick marked a 24-hour gain of 1% before bears came in, while the weekly time frame performance showed a 12% move.

The recovery has slightly rekindled broader risk appetite, with altcoins also gaining and the total cryptocurrency market capitalization climbing back to $3.13 trillion.

However, analysts caution that macro headwinds remain, and upside moves could be capped.

BounceBit jumps 10%, Stacks eyes gains

As seen across the crypto market, the Bitcoin price recovery has translated into a cascade of gains for several projects, including those building directly on or alongside the Bitcoin blockchain.

Top performers in this ecosystem include Sky and Plasma, both recording double-digit gains in the past day.

BounceBit (BB), whose price has gained by more than 10% in the past 24 hours and over 27% in the past week, is another top performer.

The BounceBit project is a Bitcoin restaking and CeDeFi infrastructure protocol, and has its market capitalization above $79 million.

Meanwhile, details on CoinMarketCap show Pendle, Lombard, and Stacks as other key performers.

Stacks, ranked fourth in the sector with a market cap of over $586 million, has jumped 7% in the past week as bulls recoup losses seen when STX slumped to lows of $0.30.

With benefits such as tokenized future yield exposure on Bitcoin derivatives and liquid staking, most of these tokens look poised to tap into the Bitcoin DeFi narrative.

If BTC rises further, these high-beta plays could see notable upticks.

But hurdles lie ahead before the $100,000 mark comes into play.

“Breaking above the top-buyers’ supply clusters is a key prerequisite for regaining momentum toward a new ATH,” analysts at Glassnode said. “The major immediate clusters sit at $93k–$96K & $100k–$108K, where typically some degree of resistance from recent buyers is expected.”

Flare Network’s major upgrade is here: what’s the outlook for FLR price?

28 November 2025 at 05:38
  • Flare Network’s price rose amid momentum ahead of a key mainnet upgrade.
  • The upgrade has been activated on Songbird and is scheduled for December 2, 2025, on mainnet.
  • Gains across crypto and the upgrade buzz could boost FLR price.

Flare, a layer 1 blockchain known for its interoperability and support for decentralized applications (dApps), is on the brink of a significant transformation.

The network, which allows users to tap into its ecosystem to put XRP to work in decentralized finance, is on the verge of a major network upgrade. Could the Flare (FLR) price explode amid this development?

Flare readies for major network upgrade

As noted, Flare is preparing for two pivotal hard forks.

The upgrade has already been successfully activated on the Songbird testnet.

On Wednesday, the Flare team confirmed the mainnet upgrade is set for December 2, 2025, at 12:00 UTC.

FLR price is up amid the successful completion of the Songbird network upgrade and the impending Flare mainnet upgrade.

These upgrades are part of a broader strategy to integrate key components of the Cancun/Dencun fork, promising a more efficient and cost-effective environment for smart contracts.

For investors and enthusiasts, the critical question is what this could mean for FLR.

Notably, the upgrades introduce advanced Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) features.

Co-founder Hugo Phillion commented on the development via X.

Flare launched in a bear market. We shipped.
Flare emerged into a bull market. We climbed the MCAP rankings. We shipped.

Throw what you will at us.
We will ship and climb.

The aim is to boost performance, efficiency, and scalability.

Key enhancements include the MCOPY opcode, which accelerates memory operations through chunk-based data transfers.

There’s also TSTORE/TLOAD (Transient Storage), offering cost-effective temporary storage for high-throughput applications.

According to the project, these improvements introduce critical capabilities and enhancements.

Other than supporting a more efficient and scalable dApps ecosystem, it means reduced execution costs and innovative protocols, including modular lending systems.

Additionally, the P-chain will introduce dynamic staking fees based on gas consumption and current gas prices, alongside upgrades to supporting libraries like flarejs.

As a comprehensive overhaul, the upgrade positions Flare for the next generation of dApps.

It also adds to the current traction that includes FXRP.

FLR price outlook

Historically, significant protocol upgrades have sparked investor optimism.

Often, this has led to price surges due to increased utility and adoption potential.

In this case, the successful Songbird upgrade may serve as a confidence booster, suggesting a smooth transition for the mainnet upgrade.

Enhanced scalability and lower costs could attract more dApp developers.

Potentially, this increases demand for FLR tokens used in transaction fees and governance.

Given the current price has jumped from lows of $0.011 to above $0.015 and seen over 24% gains in the past week, the upgrade could catalyse a short-term price rally.

FLR testing higher resistance levels in the coming months will depend on the next moves and overall price outlook.

The token reached highs of $0.035 in December 2024 and the all-time peak of $0.079 in January 2023.
