Shiba Inu has experienced a challenging 2025 so far, with the token declining by 46.5% since the start of the year. The most significant drop occurred in February, when it lost 26.1% of its value. Despite this downturn, discussions around Shiba Inu’s long-term potential remain active within the crypto community, particularly regarding the possibility of reaching a price of $0.001. Community Outlook on SHIB’s Price Ambition Although SHIB’s recent performance has raised skepticism about its prospects, the idea of the token hitting $0.001 continues to gain traction among its supporters. Various analysts and influencers have presented differing viewpoints on whether this milestone is achievable. In late 2024, market analyst LuckSide Crypto pointed to increased whale accumulation and low resistance levels as factors that could drive upward momentum for SHIB. Shortly after, technical chartist Crypto Sheriff observed a breakout from a descending triangle formation and forecasted multiple price targets, with $0.001 as the final objective. As of the latest data, the token is trading at $0.00001120, representing a 3.67% decrease in the last 24 hours. For the token to rise to $0.001, it would need to appreciate by approximately 8,750% from its current level. This would involve removing two zeros from its price and setting a new all-time high. While such growth may appear extreme, some projections suggest it is theoretically possible if SHIB appreciates by 30% annually.

Continued growth at this rate would see the token rise to around $0.0001199 by 2034, surpassing the $0.0001 threshold, followed by $0.000579 by 2040. By July 2042, SHIB is expected to reach approximately $0.000978, bringing it within close range of the $0.001 target. Based on this projection, SHIB would reach the $0.001 mark around August 2042, roughly 17 years from now. Alternate Projections from Analysts While the 2042 estimate follows a conservative and consistent growth model, some sources predict a shorter timeline . Analysts from Changelly believe the $0.001 target could be achieved between 2035 and 2039, depending on market conditions. Additionally, Telegaon estimates that SHIB could potentially hit this price level by 2035. Although SHIB’s current valuation and circulating supply present considerable challenges, the projected price target is not entirely out of reach over the long term, especially under favorable market conditions and consistent yearly growth.

Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs has vetoed a measure that would have created a fund from seized crypto, with proceeds split between law enforcement and the state.
Bit Digital has announced a $162.9 million raise to purchase ETH for its corporate treasury, adding to Ethereum’s rising demand from institutions. The announcement was made on July 1, after underwriters in Bit Digital’s recent public offering fully exercised their option to buy an additional 11.25 million shares. In total, the company issued 86.25 million shares, with net proceeds amounting to $162.9 million after deducting fees and estimated offering expenses. Bit Digital confirmed it will use the funds to acquire Ethereum ( ETH ). Bit Digital, which trades on Nasdaq under the ticker BTBT, has been building its Ethereum strategy since 2022. The company now runs one of the largest Ethereum staking platforms operated by a public company. Its platform includes validator infrastructure, custody services, and yield tools for ETH staking. The raise is one of the largest single-purpose ETH capital raises by a public company to date. It demonstrates that companies are starting to view Ethereum as more than just a technology platform and as a balance sheet asset. You might also like: Ethereum price outlook: ETH faces heavy volume wall range, rotation likley Because of its 3–5% annual staking yields, deflationary design, and ability to power decentralized applications, ETH has been gaining widespread appeal . Ethereum gives companies like Bit Digital a way to earn onchain yield while gaining exposure to one of the most widely used assets in crypto. Other companies have adopted similar strategies. SharpLink, a Nasdaq-listed company backed by ConsenSys and led by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin, raised $425 million in May to acquire more than 176,000 ETH. Reports now show its total ETH holdings have reached over 202,000 ETH after latest purchases . BioNexus Gene Lab also adopted Ethereum as its main treasury asset earlier this year and published a whitepaper outlining the benefits of ETH staking, These companies are among a group of about 40 participants listed under the Strategic ETH Reserve, a tracking initiative for corporate and organizational ETH holders. More than 1.2 million ETH, totaling about $3 billion, are now held in company reserves. The top five participants, Ethereum Foundation, SharpLink, PulseChain Sac, Coinbase, and Golem, hold more than 70% of all known ETH reserves under the SER list.

The post Senate Passes Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The U.S. Senate has passed President Donald Trump’s massive $3.3 trillion spending bill, nicknamed the “Big Beautiful Bill.” While it still requires approval from the House, the crypto world is already buzzing about what this could mean for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and beyond. Santiment reported that crypto markets are showing a clear bullish bias following the Senate’s narrow approval of the bill. According to their update, Bitcoin miners could benefit from the bill’s inflationary implications, while Elon Musk has expressed frustration over the legislation. Despite its controversy, the bill is fueling optimism across the crypto sector. Bitcoin Could Shine Amid Soaring Debt The bill would significantly raise the U.S. national debt, triggering inflation concerns. Historically, investors have looked to Bitcoin as a hedge against both inflation and a weakening dollar. If inflation picks up or trust in the dollar slips, Bitcoin could see strong demand as a digital safe haven. Ethereum and Altcoins in the Mix Market analyst Marius suggests that Ethereum and infrastructure-based altcoins may also benefit, as investors seek higher-risk, high-reward assets. However, speculative tokens and meme coins could underperform, especially in a cautious market environment. Additionally, the bill’s broader macroeconomic impact plays a significant role. With over $4.5 trillion in tax cuts and $1.2 trillion in entitlement cuts, without any revenue offsets, the bill is expected to increase inflationary pressure in the U.S. economy. This strengthens the appeal of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a hedge against the debasement of fiat currencies. [post_titles_links postid=”477412″] Crypto Reaction Crypto analyst Crypto Dad highlights that the newly passed “Big Beautiful Bill” offers a significant boost to the crypto sector. Notable crypto-friendly provisions include: A de minimis exemption for transactions under $300 simplifies everyday crypto usage. Tax deferrals and simplified rules for staking and mining rewards make participation more attractive. Combined with the inflationary pressure from massive tax cuts and spending hikes, Bitcoin’s narrative as an inflation hedge is gaining traction. As regulatory clarity improves and macroeconomic risks rise, crypto markets, especially Bitcoin, appear well-positioned for an upward move. Institutions May Stay Cautious While retail interest is likely to grow, institutions may remain cautious. Rising debt and the potential for Federal Reserve tightening could lead big investors to wait for more clarity on interest rates and inflation trends.If the bill passes the House with its crypto-friendly provisions intact, it could spark a broader rally in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and select altcoins. However, the final impact will hinge on the Federal Reserve’s next move and whether inflation pressures lead to another rate hike. [article_inside_subscriber_shortcode title=”Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!” description=”Stay ahead with breaking news, expert analysis, and real-time updates on the latest trends in Bitcoin, altcoins, DeFi, NFTs, and more.” category_name=”News” category_id=”6″] FAQs What is the “Big Beautiful Bill” that recently passed the U.S. Senate? The “Big Beautiful Bill” is President Donald Trump’s massive $3.3 trillion spending bill, recently passed by the U.S. Senate. It’s a comprehensive package encompassing tax cuts (making 2017 provisions permanent), entitlement cuts, and other provisions, and is now awaiting approval from the House. How could the “Big Beautiful Bill” benefit Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies? The bill is expected to significantly increase the U.S. national debt, leading to inflation concerns. Bitcoin is often seen as a hedge against inflation and a weakening dollar, so increased inflationary pressure could boost its demand as a digital safe haven. Select altcoins may also benefit as investors seek high-reward assets. What role does the Federal Reserve’s policy play in the final impact of this bill on crypto markets? The final impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill” on crypto markets will heavily depend on the Federal Reserve’s next moves. If inflation pressures intensify due to the bill’s spending and tax cuts, the Federal Reserve might consider another interest rate hike, which could influence crypto market dynamics and institutional investment.
Real estate tycoon Grant Cardone’s private equity firm Cardone Capital announced a 1,000 BTC acquisition on Friday, June 27. The bitcoin ( BTC) is worth more than $100 million at current prices and is part of Cardone’s foray into implementing a bitcoin treasury strategy after a curious meeting he had with Michael Saylor, Chairman of
Asian shares slipped Wednesday, while the dollar hovered near its weakest levels in over three years as traders weighed the odds of rate cuts in the United States and raced to secure trade agreements before Trump’s July 9 tariff deadline. Trump had mentioned that he would not extend that deadline for nations to strike new trade deals. He again cast doubt on reaching a pact with Japan but expressed confidence that a trade agreement with India could be finalized in time. MSCI’s Asia-Pacific index of stocks outside Japan dipped 0.23% in early trade, pulling back from the record high reached last week. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 reduced 0.78%, weighed down by losses in technology stocks. In Taiwan, the tech-heavy Taiex index has retreated by 0.31%, and South Korea’s Kospi has also lost ground by 0.87% at press time, mirroring a pullback in U.S. technology firms that had enjoyed strong gains in June. On Tuesday, data showed U.S. job openings climbed in May, underscoring the resilience of the labor market. Investors are now focused on the closely watched payrolls report, which is due to be released on Thursday. This report could offer fresh clues about the timing of Federal Reserve rate cuts. The central bank wants to wait and see how tariffs will affect inflation Jerome Powell , facing pressure from President Trump to lower rates right away, mentioned that the central bank may “wait and learn more” about how tariffs might affect inflation before easing policy. Markets currently price in about 64 basis points of rate cuts in 2025, with just a 21% chance of a reduction in July. That outlook has kept downward pressure on the greenback. The euro was last trading at $1.1799, right under Tuesday’s three-and-a-half-year peak. The yen held steady at $143.52 a dollar. “Any disappointing economic data can prompt further dovish repricing of FOMC rate cuts and another round of USD selling,” Carol Kong from Commonwealth Bank of Australia stated. She added that the newly passed “One Big Beautiful Bill” Act, as well as ongoing trade developments, could further undermine confidence in the US economy and weaken the dollar. Attention has also turned to Trump’s hefty tax and spending package, which analysts estimate will incur $3.3 trillion in federal debt. The measure passed the Senate by the slimmest of margins and now moves to the House of Representatives to get an approval. Despite raising fiscal concerns, bond markets barely flinched. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury note stood at 4.245%, after touching a 2 months low during the last session. Rising fiscal pressures, coupled with trade uncertainties along with questions about the US interest rate path, have driven investors to seek alternatives to American assets. Many fear that erratic trade policies may dent U.S. growth prospects. The dollar stays weak at multi-year lows while gold eased As a result, the dollar has slid more than 10% so far this year, marking its worst performance in the first half of a year since 70s. The dollar index that tracks the greenback against six other currencies stood around 96.649. It is the lowest level since March of 2022. In commodity markets, gold eased at $3,332.19 an ounce as it jumped 1 percent in the prior session. The metal has rallied 27% in 2025 amid safe-haven buying.

Authorities in both the United States and Switzerland are taking decisive steps to address mounting concerns in the digital asset space. In Connecticut, Governor Ned Lamont has signed a bill into law prohibiting state agencies from accepting or holding cryptocurrency, marking a clear policy shift away from public sector crypto engagement. Meanwhile, Swiss regulators have directed Swissquote, the parent company of the crypto-enabled Yuh app, to address a surge in phishing and impersonation scams, which have targeted users through hundreds of fraudulent websites. Connecticut Draws a Line on State Crypto Holdings with New Law Signed by Governor Lamont Connecticut Governor Ned Lamont has signed into law a bill that formally restricts the state government’s use and custody of digital assets. House Bill 7082, which was passed by both chambers of the state legislature earlier this year, was signed on Monday and is set to take effect on Oct. 1. Draft of House Bill 7082 (Source: LegiScan ) The new law specifically prohibits Connecticut’s government from “accepting or requiring payment in the form of virtual currency” and from “purchasing, holding, investing in or establishing” any form of cryptocurrency reserve . In doing so, Connecticut becomes one of the first US states to formally enshrine such restrictions, even as the federal government and other states push forward with bold pro-crypto initiatives. A Rebuff to the National Momentum The legislation, introduced by state Representative Jason Doucette in February, effectively places a hard stop on the integration of digital assets into state operations. It arrives in sharp contrast to federal initiatives introduced by President Donald Trump, including an executive order earlier this year establishing a “Strategic Bitcoin Reserve” and a “Digital Asset Stockpile.” These national-level directives seek to expand the federal government’s digital asset holdings through both purchases and seizures, positioning the US as a potential global leader in state-backed crypto reserves. Connecticut’s decision to move against digital asset integration comes at a time when a political rift is emerging around cryptocurrency policy, both at the federal and state levels. President Trump’s close ties to crypto industry figures and his broader push to make the US a hub for blockchain innovation has amplified these divisions. While Connecticut now stands firmly against state-level digital asset reserves, other states are moving in the opposite direction. Texas Governor Greg Abbott approved a bill in June to create a state-managed cryptocurrency reserve. Similarly, New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte signed legislation in May to establish a state-held Bitcoin treasury, and similar proposals are being explored in states like Wyoming and Florida. Meanwhile, several other states have attempted but failed to enact similar legislation in 2025. Legislative efforts in South Dakota, Montana, and Pennsylvania to create Bitcoin reserves were unsuccessful, reflecting ongoing concerns over volatility, regulatory uncertainty, and ideological opposition. This divergence of strategy among the states suggests that digital asset policy is becoming a new axis of partisan and regional disagreement, akin to previous battles over cannabis legalization, environmental regulation, and healthcare. Beyond banning crypto use in state transactions and reserves, HB 7082 also updates licensing rules for crypto-related businesses operating in Connecticut. The legislation includes additional compliance requirements for money transmission licensees dealing in digital assets, further tightening the regulatory framework in a state known for its cautious approach to fintech innovation. These changes could have implications for crypto exchanges and fintech startups seeking to operate in Connecticut, potentially leading to an outflow of crypto-related business to more permissive jurisdictions. A Fork in the Road for State-Level Crypto Policy With the passage of HB 7082, Connecticut joins a minority of US states opting to explicitly restrict government engagement with digital assets. Whether this conservative posture becomes a model for other skeptical legislatures or a footnote in a larger wave of crypto adoption remains to be seen. The disconnect between state and federal strategies, and between states themselves, highlights the current disjointed regulatory landscape of the US crypto ecosystem. As the industry continues to mature—and as political influence shapes its future—Connecticut’s stance may be viewed either as prudent risk management or as a missed opportunity to participate in the evolving digital economy. With the bill set to take effect in October, Connecticut officials now face the task of enforcing this policy in an era where digital assets are increasingly embedded in commerce, finance, and even politics. Swiss Regulators Crack Down on Phishing Surge Targeting Crypto Platform Yuh Meanwhile, Swiss regulators have ordered Swissquote, the parent company of the crypto-friendly Yuh app, to take urgent action to reduce the rising tide of phishing and impersonation scams plaguing its trading platforms. The directive follows revelations that more than 600 fraudulent websites mimicking Swissquote's services were uncovered in the first half of 2025 alone. The Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA), which oversees the country's banking and financial services sector, issued the order after identifying a significant uptick in fake login portals and phishing attempts, particularly targeting users of the Yuh app—a platform known for its accessibility to digital asset trading alongside traditional financial services. Phishing and impersonation schemes have long been a thorn in the side of fintech and crypto firms. However, the sophistication and frequency of these attacks have sharply increased in 2025, driven in part by artificial intelligence tools that enable scammers to generate more convincing fraudulent content at scale. Swissquote CEO Marc Buerki confirmed that while none of the company’s internal systems had been breached, the rise in external impersonation and spoof websites poses a serious threat to user trust and platform integrity. Yuh App in the Crosshairs The Yuh platform has become one of the most targeted crypto-enabled applications in Switzerland, according to FINMA. Launched as a joint venture between Swissquote and PostFinance, Yuh allows users to invest in both cryptocurrencies and stocks, making it a popular gateway for newcomers to the crypto space. Its growing user base and digital footprint have also made it an attractive target for cybercriminals, who replicate the app’s branding and user interface to lure unsuspecting users into handing over their login credentials. Bloomberg reports that many of the fake sites detected so far used social media promotions and spam emails to redirect users to phishing pages designed to look like official Swissquote and Yuh login portals. Swissquote is far from alone in facing this digital onslaught. According to cybersecurity firm CertiK, phishing, social engineering, and other scam vectors have accounted for approximately $2.1 billion in crypto losses so far in 2025. The majority of these losses stem not from technical flaws in blockchain code but from users being tricked into giving up sensitive information. Crypto losses in Q3 2025 by scam vector (Source: CertiK ) CertiK's Q3 2025 report reveals that address poisoning, fake support messages, and deepfake videos are also becoming increasingly popular with scammers. A particularly alarming case occurred in April, when a $330 million theft—one of the largest in crypto history—was carried out against an elderly investor through a targeted social engineering campaign. Even experienced professionals are not immune. In June, Mehdi Farooq, a venture partner at crypto investment firm Hypersphere, admitted that he had lost most of his life savings to a highly convincing phishing scam. Farooq’s public disclosure sparked widespread discussion in the crypto community about improving security awareness and incident response. FINMA’s Expectations In its notice to Swissquote, FINMA emphasized that financial institutions operating in the digital asset space must go beyond securing internal systems—they must actively monitor and respond to external impersonation threats that could harm users and damage trust in the financial system. The regulator expects Swissquote to enhance its threat detection capabilities, improve user awareness programs, and cooperate with cybersecurity firms and international watchdogs to take down malicious websites more quickly. Failure to comply could result in penalties or further regulatory scrutiny.
The fund tracks the top five cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin dominating the portfolio. This milestone happened amid broader shifts in the regulatory landscape, especially as the SEC is reportedly exploring a more simplified listing process for crypto ETFs. This could potentially allow issuers to skip the lengthy 19b-4 application in favor of a faster S-1 filing. Analysts also raised the odds of approval for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin spot ETFs to 95%, with decisions expected by October. Bloomberg experts also expat a near-term green light for a basket-based crypto ETF and elevated approval chances for other altcoins like Dogecoin and Cardano.Overall, the SEC’s evolving stance could be the start of a new era of crypto investment access through traditional markets. Grayscale Gets ETF Nod Grayscale secured approval from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to convert its Digital Large-Cap Fund into an exchange-traded fund (ETF). The fund is composed of the five largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization according to the CoinDesk Five Index. Bitcoin (BTC) holds the dominant share at 80.2%, followed by Ethereum (ETH) at 11.3%. Solana (SOL) makes up 2.7%, XRP accounts for over 4.8%, and Cardano’s ADA holds a 0.81% weighting. A crypto ETF is a type of investment fund that tracks the price of one or more cryptocurrencies and trades on traditional stock exchanges, just like stocks. Instead of buying and holding the actual crypto, investors can gain exposure to its price movements through the ETF. Some ETFs hold the cryptocurrencies directly (spot ETFs), while others track futures contracts or indexes. Crypto ETFs make it easier and safer for traditional investors to access the crypto market without needing a crypto wallet or exchange account. Approval from the SEC Historically, Grayscale’s crypto trusts offered investors arbitrage opportunities by exploiting the premium or discount to the fund's net asset value (NAV), largely due to their lock-up periods and the absence of in-kind redemptions. However, as the firm continues to convert these trusts into ETFs, such profit windows have gradually closed. According to Grayscale, the goal of the newly approved ETF is for its share value to track the weighted prices of the underlying digital assets, minus any expenses and liabilities. Grayscale is known for pioneering crypto investment vehicles, and provided a gateway for traditional investors to gain digital asset exposure without directly holding cryptocurrencies. This conversion is a turning point for both the firm and the broader industry as it reflects a trend toward more regulatory maturity and mainstream acceptance. The company’s efforts to convert its Bitcoin trust into an ETF were initially blocked by the SEC, which started a legal battle that began in June of 2022. After more than a year, a federal judge sided with Grayscale in August of 2023 by declaring the SEC’s denial “arbitrary and capricious.” This victory allowed Grayscale to proceed with its ETF plans. Today, its Bitcoin ETF has the highest expense ratio on the market at 1.5%, but also ranks as the leading revenue-generating Bitcoin investment product. SEC Eyes Faster Crypto ETF Process The United States SEC is also reportedly considering a streamlined listing process for crypto ETFs. This could significantly reduce the time and complexity involved in bringing these products to market. According to crypto journalist Eleanor Terrett , the SEC may allow ETF issuers to bypass the traditional 19b-4 application—which is a form that currently must be submitted before listing a financial product on a public exchange. Instead, issuers would file a form S-1, which initiates the registration process. After a 75-day review period, if the SEC does not raise objections, the issuer could proceed to list the ETF without the usual back-and-forth negotiations with regulators. This potential change could be a huge step in modernizing the SEC's approach to crypto products and improving efficiency in the listing process. While the proposed structure could drastically reduce approval timelines and regulatory friction, details about eligibility criteria for the cryptocurrencies that might qualify are still unclear. The lack of specificity on which digital assets could be fast-tracked under the new system leaves room for speculation and continued lobbying from fund managers and industry participants eager to see a broader range of crypto ETFs approved. As it stands, the SEC has not confirmed these changes, and ETF issuers are still awaiting formal clarification. The conversation around ETF innovation took place at a time when the SEC already approved the first-ever staked crypto ETF in the US. The REX Shares Solana ETF (STAK) recently received the green light, and incorporates staking rewards into its investment model. This approval could pave the way for other altcoin and staking-enabled ETFs, especially as the SEC now faces a wave of pending applications involving Litecoin, Dogecoin, Solana, XRP, and Ethereum. According to Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart , these proposals face final deadlines later in 2025, with some potentially reaching a decision as early as October. If the SEC moves forward with the simplified listing process, it could unlock a whole new era of crypto investment vehicles. Analysts Up Altcoin ETF Approval Odds Meanwhile, analysts raised the likelihood of SEC approval for Solana, XRP, and Litecoin spot ETFs to 95%. Bloomberg ETF experts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart shared the updated forecast in a post on X , and pointed to the increasing momentum and regulatory developments that could lead to a wave of approvals in the second half of 2025. The same 95% probability was also assigned to the potential approval of a spot ETF tracking a basket or index of crypto assets, which could be granted as early as this week. While the final decision on the Solana, XRP, and Litecoin ETFs is expected by October, optimism continues to build across the altcoin ETF landscape. Other cryptocurrencies are also in the mix, with analysts assigning a 90% approval probability to spot ETFs for Dogecoin, Cardano, Polkadot, Hedera, and Avalanche. These decisions are slated for the fourth quarter.. More niche projects like Sui and Tron have lower chances of approval in the near term, with odds at 60% and 50%, respectively, for the ETFs filed by Canary Capital. These figures suggest that while the mainstream altcoins may soon achieve ETF status, lesser-known tokens face a more uncertain regulatory path. On the other hand the SEC’s hesitancy around staking is still very evident, especially after it delayed its decision on whether the Bitwise spot Ether ETF could include staking features. The regulator also postponed its decision on approving the Osprey Bitcoin Trust for trading. Despite this cautious approach, the wave of upcoming ETF approvals could be the start of a transformative period for altcoin exposure in traditional financial markets.
