The post How a New Pi Coin Seller is Listing 3 Coins for $314,159 Each on OKX appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Pi Coin (PI) is currently trading at $0.65, up slightly by more than 1% at the time of writing. While the broader crypto market is showing signs of strength, Pi Coin has remained relatively flat, trading within a narrow range of $0.60 to $0.68 in recent weeks. Despite the limited price movement, there’s excitement in the Pi Network community with the launch of a new game app, Fruity $PI, now live on the Pi Network Mainnet Ecosystem. The app adds to the growing number of decentralized applications being built on the Pi platform, aimed at improving user engagement and ecosystem activity. However, some investor frustration is mounting over the coin’s stagnant performance. This sentiment took a humorous turn when a user on social media claimed to have listed 3 PI coins on the OKX exchange for a total of $314,159, stating they were new to using exchanges. The post quickly went viral, with crypto analyst Dr. Altcoin commenting, “This guy is selling 3 Pi on OKX each for a GCV value of $314,159! Some people have no clue how crypto works.” This guy is selling 3 Pi on OKX each for a GCV value of $314159! Some people have no clue how crypto works. Dimas @2000Rocker do you care to clarify? https://t.co/uwE9SlhRHB — Dr Altcoin (@Dr_Picoin) April 25, 2025 Another user, @2000Rocker, was tagged in the conversation for clarification, while others chimed in, with one commenter joking, “He’ll have to wait 40 to 50 years to take profit.” While the post stirred laughs across the community, it also highlighted confusion among some newer users about the coin’s real value versus speculative pricing. For now, Pi Coin continues to hold steady, with the ecosystem gradually expanding. Whether new apps like Fruity PI$PI can drive more meaningful price action remains to be seen.
Bitcoin ETFs saw nearly $1 billion in inflows on Tuesday, and then again on Wednesday, reversing a months-long trend of outflows and signaling bullish sentiment from institutions. In the stock market, Bitcoin miners are up, with HIVE Digital rallying 15% after building a new mining operation in Paraguay. This further shows concrete, long-term faith in Bitcoin. With institutions and equity investors flipping bullish on BTC, the wider crypto market could be set to rally, with early indications of an altseason already visible. Undercapitalized assets like BPEP, PEPX, and CARTFI could be top beneficiaries. Bitcoin ETFs pulled in nearly $1 billion two days in a row this week , with $936 million flowing in on Tuesday, followed by $916 million on Wednesday. This comes after $27.5 billion flowed out of BTC ETFs between January and April, and the two-day bumper inflows confirm that sentiment has reversed among institutional investors. The completion of a huge new mining facility in Paraguay also shows long-term belief in BTC, with HIVE Digital’s stock rising in response. Other miners, Bitdeer and Core Scientific , were also up yesterday. As faith in BTC is restored, the wider market is rallying, with many altcoins outperforming the leader. This hints at the beginnings of an altseason that could deliver outsized returns on smaller tokens when risk appetite heats up, with BPEP emerging as an early frontrunner. What is a Bitcoin ETF, and why is Bitcoin surging? Bitcoin ETFs are regulated, exchange-traded funds that track the price of Bitcoin on the stock market. They allow institutions and regular investors to get exposure to Bitcoin without needing a crypto wallet. ETFs fit neatly into existing regulatory frameworks, making them the easiest way for institutions (think hedge funds, banks, and Wall Street) to hold Bitcoin without a headache—so when ETFs are up, it suggests that institutions are buying BTC. So, why are institutions now buying, and why is the Bitcoin price increasing? It’s becoming increasingly apparent that the US Federal Reserve will cut interest rates this summer, and gold analyst Lawrence Lepard anticipates unprecedented money printing in the coming years, predicted a print of up to $10 trillion. Low rates and quantitative easing combined spell one thing: a flight to inflation-resistant stores of value. With new money diluting the value of existing cash, and interest rates unable to keep up, investors must flee into assets—like Bitcoin—that have a track record of beating inflation. The last time we had massive liquidity expansion alongside low rates was during the pandemic, and those conditions created the bull run that brought Bitcoin (and crypto) into true public consciousness for the first time. Institutional investors are betting on the same thing happening again, only bigger. The investment in mining infrastructure only strengthens this view. Inflows into mining companies shows that investors expect Bitcoin to become more and more relevant—and it is likely to bring the broader crypto market along for the ride. What is the best crypto to buy as altseason approaches? Altcoins could be about to take over from Bitcoin, despite BTC doing the early groundwork: tokens like Sui overpowered the pack leader yesterday, climbing as much as 21% on the renewed bullish sentiment. Source: CoinDesk Indices Beyond the top altcoins, though, less capitalized tokens often offer the chance to capture bigger price swings. Those who get in early on next-generation tokens can lock in massive upside potential if they can pick winners before the masses arrive. Here are four of the best cryptos to buy this month for investors looking to outperform Bitcoin: 1. Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP) Bitcoin Pepe (BPEP) is a Layer 2 blockchain that gives Bitcoin a much-needed update for 2025, and is one of the altcoins best positioned to outperform BTC this year. The more institutional money flows into Bitcoin over the summer, the more users will brush up against Bitcoin’s inherent flaws. The security and robustness that make BTC a great store of value also make it slow, expensive, clunky, and unsophisticated. Bitcoin Pepe changes this, without losing sight of what makes Bitcoin great: it delivers DeFi, NFTs, and the PEP-20 token standard, allowing anyone to mint new tokens within the Bitcoin ecosystem. But, unlike other blockchains like Solana and Ethereum, BPEP settles on the main Bitcoin blockchain, inheriting its top-tier security while delivering the functions modern traders expect. This is why the community is calling it “Solana on Bitcoin”: it’s fast, cheap, capable, and secure. BPEP is currently available to buy in presale, with nearly $7 million raised already as Bitcoin bulls flock to the project. Tokens are currently available for just $0.031, representing a major markdown considering Bitcoin Pepe’s potential to explode off the back of a Bitcoin rally this summer. As the hunt for the best altcoins to buy heats up, Bitcoin-based projects are arguably the top asset class to invest in—and BPEP might just be the best of the bunch. 2. CartelFi (CARTFI) CartelFi is another promising altcoin, and a foundational building block of “DeFi 2.0”: the next generation of decentralized finance protocols, perfectly situated to grow as TradFi falters. The global financial order is collapsing, according to legendary analyst Ray Dalio , and traditional finance institutions are panicking. The void that is opening up in the finance space is begging for new entrants, and DeFi innovators like CartelFi are stepping up to fill the gap. With interest rates set to bottom out this year, smart money will be looking for new ways to earn passive income, and CartelFi offers a paradigm shift in the yield space. Traders can deposit meme coins and earn yields on them—for the first time ever. Until now, yield hunters have faced a choice: either hold meme tokens and pray for a 100x pump, or sell early in order to earn yield on stablecoins. Now, they can have their cake and eat it too: CartelFi lets them deposit their memes in specialized liquidity pools, earning yields of up to 300% without needing to sell and sacrifice upside potential. The opportunity at hand is starting to dawn on the market, with the CARTFI presale raking in $1.1m in no time at all. Momentum could accelerate as the old financial world crumbles: traders will be looking for new leading lights in the passive income space, and at just $0.0352, CARTFI looks like an extremely attractive investment with huge potential. 3. PepeX (PEPX) PepeX gives investors a chance to own a piece of the financial infrastructure that could underpin the new emerging financial order. With traditional capital rails falling apart and all-time low levels of faith in the legacy system, new rails are needed, and PepeX is trying to build them. It’s a platform where anyone can launch and fund an idea near-instantly, by allowing seamless tokenization and deployment of anything. This opens the door to global participation in early-stage investing, flipping traditional funding on its head. Formerly, only venture capitalists, private equity firms, and angel investors with huge capital reserves have been allowed early access to future unicorns, meaning they’ve been able to capture the largest upside—imagine getting first-round access to Google, for example. With PepeX, anyone can get in on the ground floor, both democratizing investment opportunities, and making it easier for the next big ideas to get funding without gatekeepers getting in the way. With risk assets becoming more attractive in a low-rate environment, investors won’t stop at Bitcoin—they’ll be hunting for the kind of opportunities that PepeX could deliver. The PEPX token powers the platform, and is currently available in presale. It’s already brought in $1.5m, proving that the idea is resonating, and with tokens currently priced at $0.0243, there’s still room for growth. Each presale phase raises the price, so early participation comes with the biggest advantages. 4. Sui (SUI) This week, Sui is one of major tokens outperforming Bitcoin—and by quite some distance. While BTC retaking $90k made the biggest headlines, SUI has quietly climbed by more than 40% in the last seven days. SUI/USD Price Chart. Source: CoinMarketCap The Layer 1, a direct competitor to the likes of Ethereum and Solana, is now hovering around $3, after 21Shares submitted filings to launch a SUI ETF in the US. This signals the very same institutional adoption that has driven Bitcoin back up this week, and further cements the case for an incoming altseason. If the ETF is approved, Sui could be one of the best cryptos to buy—although it faces competition from Bitcoin Pepe , which topped our list. Although Sui offers high-level functionality, low fees, and rapid transactions, so does Bitcoin Pepe—but BPEP offers the crucial edge of being anchored to BTC, crypto’s most secure network. There’s room for both to grow, but BPEP has great growth potential, given its status as a relatively undiscovered token. Bitcoin ETFs propel the market towards altseason: What are the best cryptos to buy? The crypto market looks the healthiest it has been since January, with institutional money returning to the fold. While Bitcoin is the driving force, altcoins like Sui have outperformed it this week, and other, less capitalized tokens arguably offer greater growth potential for the rest of 2025. Bitcoin Pepe stands out as the best pick, and is perfectly positioned to grow on the back of Bitcoin’s strength, directly addressing many of its shortcomings. Still in presale, its current price of $0.031 offers a truly attractive investment opportunity. Disclaimer: This is a sponsored article and is for informational purposes only.

President Donald Trump has cut off critical US cybersecurity aid to Ukraine, leaving the country more open to Russian cyberattacks. The disruption began just days after Trump was sworn into office in January and has since wiped out government support programs that had been helping Ukraine defend its digital systems. Those cuts included USAID funding, equipment shipments, cyber training, and even classified intelligence-sharing. According to Bloomberg, dozens of US and Ukrainian cybersecurity workers have been removed from their posts after contracts were paused or cancelled. The sudden drop in support comes as the Trump administration pushes Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to accept a peace deal many officials say favors Moscow. Vice President JD Vance said earlier this week that if neither side accepts the deal, the US may abandon the process entirely—something that could block future cyber aid altogether. Musk’s department dismantles USAID and freezes shipments In the past five years, the US had provided more than $200 million in cybersecurity help to Ukraine, mostly through USAID. That aid included equipment, software, and direct technical support. But since January, Elon Musk’s DOGE, has gutted the agency. In February, Musk claimed on X that USAID was interfering with global governments and promoting “radical left politics.” He didn’t give proof. Bloomberg’s report claims that hardware and software planned for Ukraine never arrived. Contracts for cyber staff in the US and Ukraine were ended before work could be finished. That includes workers protecting energy networks, telecom systems, and the Cabinet of Ministers, which runs Ukraine’s executive branch. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has backed the reviews, saying every dollar must “make the US safer, strong and more prosperous.” A State Department spokesperson confirmed that all cyber projects were now under review to meet Trump’s policy goals. When the Pentagon was asked in March if cyber offensives against Russia were halted, Bloomberg said it denied reports from The Record, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. DAI contract stalls, private sector steps in after shutdown The report also said that the largest cybersecurity contract funded by the US was worth $128 million, awarded to DAI Global LLC, a consulting firm based in Maryland. That deal covered everything from data recovery gear to backup servers, threat detection tools, and secure communication systems. It was supposed to run through September 2026 but now might not even survive 2025. People working on the project reportedly said that equipment for airports, radioactive waste facilities, the Chernobyl plant, and Ukrenergo, Ukraine’s national power company, has stopped arriving. They also said a plan to help Ukraine’s election commission was now frozen. Many of the project’s staff were furloughed after the January funding freeze. Some help came from CRDF Global, a contractor based in Virginia. That team had been running training programs and helping Ukraine build cybersecurity operations centers. Their work is now paused while the State Department continues its review. Even global efforts have been hit. The Tallinn Mechanism, a joint program from Canada, the UK, Germany, France, and Estonia, had pledged $200 million to support Ukraine’s cyber defenses. The US committed half of that through USAID. But the entire US contribution is now frozen, and it’s unclear if any of it will be sent. While government help has dried up, private firms are stepping in. Bloomberg reports that at least a dozen cybersecurity companies, including Mandiant, Palo Alto Networks, and Symantec (owned by Broadcom), are still helping through a group called the Cyber Defense Assistance Collaborative. That private support, worth around $40 million so far, includes tools to detect intrusions and intel on Russian hacking strategies. At the start of Russia’s invasion in February 2022, hackers linked to the Kremlin hit a US satellite company used by Ukraine’s military. That attack disrupted troop coordination. Ukraine also faced DDoS attacks and malware designed to wipe systems across the government and energy sectors. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

MAGACOINFINANCE Emerges as the Altcoin Analysts Are Watching Closely While Bitcoin (BTC) and Ripple (XRP) continue to recover strength in the market, investor conversations are beginning to shift toward early-stage opportunities. One name consistently surfacing is MAGACOINFINANCE —a token still in its formative stages, but already showing the signals that long-term investors look for. The project offers what many consider the ideal setup: limited access, strong tokenomics, and clear momentum. In a market where timing is everything, MAGACOINFINANCE is becoming the quiet frontrunner for those looking ahead. Why MAGACOINFINANCE Is Being Viewed as a Rare Opportunity MAGACOINFINANCE instantly caught the eye of investors — quickly establishing itself as a serious altcoin to watch. The appeal lies in its structure. With a capped supply and exclusive pre-sale model, it creates natural scarcity—something that often fuels stronger demand in the early stages of a token’s lifecycle. The project’s slow-burn approach is attracting long-term capital, as more investors recognize that it’s not about hype—it’s about positioning before widespread attention takes over. MAGACOINFINANCE vs. ETH, TON, AVAX, and SUI: What Sets It Apart Ethereum (ETH) remains the dominant platform for smart contracts. Toncoin (TON) , Avalanche (AVAX) , and SUI each bring technical value—but they’ve already matured past the entry phase where investors can access the most upside. MAGACOINFINANCE , however, is still new. Still pre-listed. Still building. And that makes all the difference when it comes to long-term strategic entry. Final Thoughts: MAGACOINFINANCE Reflects What BTC, ETH, and XRP Once Were Bitcoin (BTC) once moved quietly before changing everything. Ethereum (ETH) took time to be noticed. XRP gained serious value after building trust. Today, MAGACOINFINANCE is following a similar path—early, focused, and built for those with the foresight to act before the spotlight hits.

The planning commission of Vilonia, Arkansas, unanimously rejected a proposal to establish a cryptocurrency mining facility within the city limits, following strong opposition from residents. According to local reports , the decision came after weeks of community pushback, where citizens voiced concerns over potential noise pollution, increased energy consumption and the overall environmental impact associated with crypto-mining operations. During public meetings, Vilonia residents expressed concern that the mining operation could disrupt the town’s quiet atmosphere and strain local infrastructure. Many pointed to examples from other regions where similar facilities led to rising electricity costs and constant noise from mining rigs. “I just want to ask, like, did we make a mistake moving here? We’re not asking these people to come here. I grew up here. I graduated from Vilonia, and we [are] Arkansas, the natural state, not Arkansas, the Bitcoin state,” one community member told THV11. Vilonia community members oppose a new crypto mine in their town. Source: YouTube Related: Crypto startups no longer welcome in Nvidia’s accelerator program Vilonia has a history of rejecting crypto mining Vilonia has confronted the prospect of crypto mining before. In previous years, residents expressed disinterest in hosting miners, citing long-term sustainability concerns and minimal local economic benefits. In 2023, the city’s planning commission denied Vilo AR permission to build a crypto mine in town and revoked its permit permanently. The same year, Vilonia residents voiced strong opposition to a crypto-mining facility proposed by Green Digital near residential areas, citing concerns over constant loud noise from powerful mining computers and potential ties to the Chinese Communist Party. In 2024, the Arkansas State House passed two bills that restrict cryptocurrency mining within the state. Related: Bitdeer turns to self-mining Bitcoin, US operations amid tariff tumult — Report In January, Arkansas lawmakers introduced a bill that would ban crypto mining operations within 30 miles of any US military facility in the state. Senate Bill (SB 60) was introduced by Senator Ricky Hill and House Speaker Brian Evans, aiming to amend the Arkansas Data Centers Act of 2023 to keep crypto mining facilities away from military installations. However, the Arkansas Senate’s City, County and Local Affairs Committee eventually rejected the bill . The opposition to crypto mining centers in Arkansas follows a broader trend across various US municipalities where crypto-mining initiatives have faced increasing scrutiny. In October 2024, a group of residents in Granbury, Texas, filed a lawsuit against Marathon Digital , alleging that its mining facility generated too much noise. The lawsuit claimed that residents were experiencing physical symptoms from the noise, including fatigue, headaches, nausea, hearing loss, memory issues and even psychological problems.

The hacker, who exploited the Ethereum-based ZKsync blockchain for $5 million, has returned the funds as part of a bounty deal. Under the terms of the agreement, they were required to return the stolen funds within 72 hours and would not be pursued as hackers, but instead would be rewarded as bounty hunters. The ZKsync team said they were happy to announce that the hacker had cooperated and returned the funds within the allotted time frame. ZKsync was able to recover, through their negotiation efforts, 44.6 million ZK tokens and 1,800 ETH tokens. The ZKsync Security Council is responsible for the recovered tokens. ZKsync, not long after the hack, offered the hacker a 10% bounty if 90% of the funds were returned within 72 hours. The hacker was warned that if the tokens were not returned, the incident would be escalated to law enforcement and would become a criminal investigation. The ZKsync price plunged after the incident but recovered not long after. The hacker cooperated with ZKsync, sending around $2.47 million worth of ZKsync and $1.83 million worth of Ethereum. Another $1.4 million of Ethereum was sent to the ZKsync Security Council wallet. The hacker sent the funds within 10 minutes of each other. The funds were sent within the 72-hour deadline set by ZKsync. Ethereum and ZKSync have risen in price since the attack, meaning that the recovered amount now exceeds the original funds. Ethereum increased by around 9%, while ZKsync rose by 17%. ZKsync may still go up further, given the good news. ZKsync had already planned to write a report on the incident, and now has a lot more to write about. The original hack occurred when the hacker took control of an admin wallet and stole $5 million worth of ZKsync tokens. The funds were meant for an airdrop. The attacker used the sweepUnclaimed() method to claim all remaining tokens in the airdrop wallet, releasing 111 million tokens. The development team at ZKsync announced what had happened and assured users that no other parts of the ecosystem had been hacked. The hack may have been the result of a vulnerability in ZKsync’s zero-knowledge proof processes. The hacker, if this is the case, would have had some sophisticated methods to pull off the exploit. ZachXBT, a crypto analyst, said that the hack was indicative of wider problems in the crypto industry, which could only be resolved with government regulation. The first quarter of 2025 was the worst in cryptocurrency history, with over $1.6 billion in stolen funds. The majority of the hacks were with 2 centralized exchanges, including Bybit at $1.46 billion and Phemex at $69.1 million. There were 39 incidents in Q1 2025, which has spurred a lot of interest in crypto security.
