Tom Lee, co-founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, known for his bold predictions for Bitcoin (BTC), spoke about Bitcoin. Referring to gold's record-breaking run, Tom Lee said he expects Bitcoin to catch up with gold. Speaking on CNBC's Squawk Box, Lee noted that the deleveraging pressure that had pushed institutional investors to sell in the Bitcoin market has disappeared. At this point, he stated that Bitcoin will recover rapidly and catch up with gold as institutional investors reduce leverage. Lee noted that high leverage is one of the main factors that suppresses the Bitcoin price, especially on weekends. “Now that the deleveraging is complete, I think Bitcoin will catch up with gold. Bitcoin's old high was over $110,000, so I think there's a lot of room to catch the top as a non-dollar asset.” Lee predicted that Bitcoin could catch up with gold as investor confidence returns, but said that uncertainty could continue due to economic risks and Fed policy discussions, but the worst appears to be over for BTC. While gold is running from record to record, Bitcoin has fallen in contrast to gold. Gold prices have increased by 30.31% since the beginning of the year, reaching $3,470 per ounce. According to this data, BTC would need to rally 36.61% from current levels to catch up with gold, which would equate to a rally to $120,507. In his previous statements, Tom Lee shared his expectations for the markets in 2025 and stated that he expects Bitcoin to reach approximately $250,000 by the end of 2025. Lee also stated that he expects Ethereum (ETH) to show a strong performance and reach $5,000 to $6,000. *This is not investment advice.

Few cryptocurrencies have achieved what XRP did during its prime cycle—explosive growth backed by real-world adoption and a devoted community. Now, in 2025, with XRP stabilizing into a foundational role in the digital asset space, investors are watching closely for the next altcoin capable of that kind of breakout moment. One project rising fast into that spotlight is MAGACOINFINANCE , a high-potential token that has analysts and early movers aligning around one major question: Is this the XRP of 2025? PRESALE SELLING OUT – CLICK HERE TO SECURE A SPOT NOW Why MAGACOINFINANCE Is Gaining Ground in Crypto Circles Just minutes after launch, MAGACOINFINANCE began trending among traders, emerging as one of the most in-demand tokens of the 2025 cycle. Investor interest hasn’t slowed. Community growth is accelerating across platforms, wallet activity is rising daily, and early accumulation patterns suggest that more seasoned capital is entering positions early. The most striking development? Unlike many early-stage tokens that rely solely on hype, MAGACOINFINANCE is being evaluated as a fundamentally strong altcoin with lasting traction. Technical models used to assess early breakout tokens—including social trend velocity, wallet onboarding speed, and pre-listing demand—are aligning almost identically with metrics that once defined XRP and Solana at the beginning of their runs. Evaluating the Landscape: How MAGACOINFINANCE Measures Up While XRP has cemented its place in institutional finance and compliance-friendly corridors, it’s no longer expected to deliver explosive growth. Polygon remains a top Layer-2 solution but is maturing into a more stable asset. Aptos continues to innovate on scalability and performance but hasn’t triggered significant excitement outside its core circles. Sei , despite being well-positioned as a newer Layer-1, is still in the process of gaining mass adoption. What separates MAGACOINFINANCE is timing. It hasn’t peaked—it hasn’t even started. The foundation is in place, investor energy is building, and the early data mirrors historical breakout patterns. That’s what makes the high projection not only believable—but highly compelling for those who know what to look for before a token takes off. GET 50% EXTRA BONUS – USE CODE MAGA50X – LIMITED TIME OFFER Conclusion XRP will always hold a place among the most important digital assets, and altcoins like Polygon , Aptos , and Sei will continue to shape innovation in their own categories. But for traders and investors focused on early-stage opportunity and asymmetrical upside, MAGACOINFINANCE is leading the field. With a projected high return and all early indicators flashing green, it could be the altcoin that defines 2025’s bull run.

Ripple’s U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin (RLUSD) is now live on Aave V3 Ethereum Core Market, providing institutional and decentralized finance users with lending and borrowing services. The initial launch of RLUSD includes a supply cap of 50 million with a borrowing cap of 5 million. According to data from Aave’s dashboard, the markets are not as active yet as expected. Both the reserve size and available liquidity are at $124.98, with the utilization at 0%. RLUSD’s price is still at $1.00, which is aligned with its U.S. dollar peg. There are no borrowings upheld; hence, the current APY stands at 0%, showing little activity and no lending promotions active. Source: Aave dashboard The integration is a significant milestone in RLUSD’s on-chain journey after it entered the broader market in December. Although, at present, the pool based on Aave remains partially unused, it creates future prospects for new DeFi applications when the pool activity is higher. Growing demand signals RLUSD’s enterprise momentum RLUSD has reached a $294 million market capitalization due to increased trading and international partnerships. The trading volume in the last 24 hours is $33.1 million, as per the data from CoinMarketCap. After its launch, RLUSD has achieved more than $10 billion in total volume transactions, drawing attention to investors’ growing interest. Unlike many stablecoins targeting consumers, RLUSD is focused on business-level applications. Ripple incorporated the stablecoin into its Ripple Payments at the beginning of April, intensifying its use in cross-border transactions. By prioritizing the efficiency of payment settlements, RLUSD is designed to serve as the stablecoin for institutional players. Its recent listing on the Aave V3 protocol has introduced new collaterals in both crypto nativ e and traditional finance trading. According to market analysts, this could lead to increased usage once incentives, liquidity mining programs, or interest-based structures are initiated. Exchange listings and cross-platform support fuel ecosystem growth The increasing number of listings in the RLUSD reinforces Ripple’s objective of making its services available to users globally. Currently, it is integrated with advanced trading platforms such as Kraken, LMAX Digital, Bitstamp, Bullish, and Zero Hash. These listings enable institutional and retail users to transact in RLUSD through several financial market platforms. Ripple has also hinted at continued engagement with institutions to ensure more issuance of the stablecoin. According to this plan, the company wants to integrate RLUSD into various decentralized and centralized applications. This will expand its use case beyond payments and into lending, trading, and DeFi services. Ripple’s steadily expanding RLUSD now faces the rising stablecoin market. The Aave V3 listing can be viewed as part of Ripple’s gradual expansion into the DeFi space. In early March, Aave introduced its lending protocol to the Sonic network, formerly referred to as FTX. The deployment coordinated by Web3 contributor BGD labs was assessed by Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk and backed by Chainlink oracles for pricing reliability. While the Sonic expansion is for the faster execution of DeFi, the integration of RLUSD provides a more grounded tier of institutional utility in line with Ripple’s long-term product vision. Both of these indicate Aave’s plans to expand to multiple chains and Ripple’s willingness to integrate its stablecoin into existing DeFi protocols.

Fartcoin has just flipped Bonk to become the second-largest Solana memecoin by market cap, following a 15% rally that pushed its market cap above the $1 billion mark. Fartcoin ( FARTCOIN ) has rallied over 15% in the past 24 hours, smashing through the $1 psychological resistance to trade at $1.06 at press time. With this rally, Fartcoin’s market cap has surged past $1 billion, overtaking Bonk ( BONK ), which currently sits at around $980 million. FARTCOIN breakout comes as no surprise as its price action has been on fire recently as it broke out of the $0.40 – $0.55 range where it has been consolidating from March 29 to April 9. The memecoin staged a powerful breakout on April 9, marked by a spike in volume that drove the price to an intraday high of $0.78. The momentum continued, with the price hitting $0.97 on April 11 before pulling back slightly into a brief consolidation phase. The price action soon resumed its uptrend, breaking past previous highs and pushing above the $1 mark. The trend is clearly bullish as FARTCOIN currently trades well above both 20-day EMA and 50-day SMA. If this momentum continues, the next immediate price target is at around $1.20–$1.25. However, the RSI is nearing 70, which may indicate an upcoming pullback.

The moving averages are aligning bullishly, and price is consolidating near the top of the range, which can be a pre-breakout setup if volume kicks in. However, recent volume is much lower compared to March spikes, suggesting this breakout attempt is still lacking conviction — a potential sign of continued range behavior or a slow grind up. Source: crypto.news A clean daily close above this range with follow-through and rising volume would confirm a breakout, with the next immediate price target at around $0.000015, where the price was rejected twice — in early and late March.

On April 21, Bitcoin spot ETFs in the U.S. experienced a significant surge in investor interest, recording a net inflow of $381 million, marking the highest daily gain since January 30. This influx of capital into Bitcoin ETFs contrasts sharply with the performance of Ethereum spot ETFs, which saw a net outflow of $25.42 million on the same day, with none of the nine ETFs registering net inflows. The net inflow into Bitcoin ETFs translated to the purchase of approximately 4,480 BTC, while Ethereum ETFs saw the sale of about 16,010 ETH. This data underscores a continued trend of net outflows for Ethereum ETFs, marking eight consecutive weeks of such activity, with the latest week seeing a net outflow of $32.17 million. Notably, none of the twelve Bitcoin ETFs saw net outflows on April 21, and Bitcoin's price reclaimed $88,000. To continue reading this as well as other DeFi and Web3 news, visit us at thedefiant.io
The post ZORA Token Airdrop: How to Claim Your Share of 1 Billion Tokens? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Zora, the popular NFT platform built on Ethereum, is gearing up for a major launch. On April 23, 2025, Zora will release its native token, ZORA, and to celebrate, the platform is giving away 1 billion ZORA tokens to early users. This airdrop represents 10% of the total token supply and is a gesture of gratitude to creators, collectors, and developers who’ve supported the platform. $ZORA will be live on April 23, 2025. pic.twitter.com/yZdjlnDohH — zora (@zora) April 20, 2025 Who Can Claim the ZORA Airdrop? The giveaway is based on two key snapshots of user activity: First Snapshot: Users active between January 1, 2020, and March 3, 2025. Second Snapshot: Users active from March 3 to April 20, 2025. If you used Zora during either period, you may be eligible for the airdrop. Additionally, Binance will list the ZORA token through its Binance Alpha program, airdropping 4,276 ZORA tokens to users who spent at least $50 on the platform between March 22 and April 20, 2025. ZORA Token Launch and Market Value Before its official launch, the ZORA token is already trading at around $0.03 on pre-market platforms. With this price, the total value of the airdrop is approximately $30 million. The full market value of the platform could reach $300 million once all 10 billion ZORA tokens are in circulation. Token Allocation Breakdown Here’s how the ZORA token supply will be distributed: Airdrop: 10% of the total supply (1 billion tokens) will be given away. Community Projects: 20% set aside for grants and events. Liquidity: 5% will be allocated to ensure smooth trading. Treasury: 20% will go to the treasury, unlocking over four years. Team: 18.9% allocated to Zora’s team. Early Investors & Advisors: 26.1% for early supporters. Community Criticism Despite the excitement, the ZORA token launch has faced some criticism. Many argue that 65% of the new supply is going to the team, treasury, and early investors, leaving retail users with a token that lacks clear utility. Critics like ZachXBT question why such a large portion is controlled by insiders if the token serves no governance purpose. While some believe the “for fun” label could be a strategy to reduce legal risks, others feel it sends the wrong message to users. .article_register_shortcode { padding: 18px 24px; border-radius: 8px; display: flex; align-items: center; margin: 6px 0 22px; border: 1px solid #0052CC4D; background: linear-gradient(90deg, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1) 0%, rgba(0, 82, 204, 0.1) 100%); } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { color: #000000; font-weight: 600; font-size: 20px; line-height: 22px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 span { color: #0052CC; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-weight: 400; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22px; color: #171717B2; margin-top: 4px; text-align:left; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body{ padding-right: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: right; } .article_register_shortcode .primary-button img{ vertical-align: middle; width: 20px; margin: 0; display: inline-block; } @media (min-width: 581px) and (max-width: 991px) { .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { margin-bottom: 0; } } @media (max-width: 580px) { .article_register_shortcode { display: block; padding: 20px; } .article_register_shortcode img { max-width: 50px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body h5 { font-size: 16px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body { margin-left: 0px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-body p { font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-top: 6px; margin-bottom: 14px; } .article_register_shortcode .media-button a { float: unset; } .article_register_shortcode .secondary-button { margin-bottom: 0; } } Never Miss a Beat in the Crypto World!

Paul Atkins was sworn in as the new chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, April 21 , according to a statement from the regulator. A former SEC commissioner from 2002 to 2008 and known for his business-friendly stance, Atkins steps into the role during a period of sweeping regulatory shifts. Atkins’ confirmation by the full Senate followed a narrow 13-11 vote by the Senate Banking Committee earlier this month. He is expected to continue a strong deregulatory push , building on the work of interim chief Mark Uyeda, who had already started rolling back crypto-related lawsuits and paused efforts to defend climate disclosure rules. Committee Chair Tim Scott previously praised Atkins for aiming to refocus the SEC on its “core mission,” particularly by offering clarity for digital assets and encouraging capital formation . Atkins’ return also signals a potential reversal of several policies implemented during Gary Gensler’s term, especially around ESG rules and crypto oversight. However, Democrats remain critical , with Senator Elizabeth Warren highlighting Atkins’ controversial decisions during the 2008 financial crisis and accusing him of aiding figures like former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried in his private consulting role. Atkins’ influence may soon reach beyond crypto and climate policies. He’s expected to reduce the SEC’s involvement in the activities of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and slow down the aggressive regulatory agenda of the PCAOB , which intensified under Gensler. These changes could ease compliance burdens, something welcomed by many in the auditing profession.
Paul Atkins has stepped into his new role as the head of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) , following his confirmation by the Senate.
