The cryptocurrency market is buzzing with excitement as the rise of alternative coins gains momentum. With major names like Cardano , XRP , and Polkadot catching investors' eyes, questions arise about how far their values might surge. This article delves into the factors fueling this trend and explores the potential highs these digital assets could reach. Cardano: Strong 6-Month Surge with Cautious Recent Moves Modest gains of 1.38% over the past month contrast with an impressive rally of 82.14% over the last six months. Price action has shown a gradual recovery and a decrease in volatility, indicating a strong upward trend despite recent market challenges. Current trading sees ADA in a range of $0.55 to $0.78, with resistance at $0.88 and support near $0.41. Bears currently hold some influence with negative momentum, while bulls have not yet established a strong presence. Traders might consider entering positions near support and targeting profit on a break above resistance, always prioritizing risk management strategies. XRP's 291% Six-Month Surge Amid Recent 1-Month Dip XRP recorded a strong surge over the past six months with a 291% gain, while the last month saw a slight decline of 1%. The coin’s price history shows notable volatility, with rapid moves reflecting early accumulation and later profit-taking. A one-week drop of 7.59% adds to the mix, painting a picture of a coin that has experienced both significant upward movement and recent pullbacks. Current trading places XRP within a range of $1.75 to $2.50. Immediate support is at $1.31, with resistance at $2.80. The near-neutral RSI at 45.37 and slight negative momentum indicators hint at a market where bears currently exert some pressure, suggesting a cautious trading approach between these key levels. Polkadot's Modest Declines Amid Mixed Signals DOT dipped slightly over the last month with a decline of 0.51% and saw a larger drop of 7.53% in just one week. Over the past six months, the performance shows a decline of 4.61%. Price values fluctuated between approximately $3.41 and $4.54, reflecting limited movement. Historical performance indicates modest volatility, remaining within a stable range despite occasional sharper short-term declines. Currently, prices are in the $3.41 to $4.54 range, facing immediate resistance at $5.03 and support near $2.77. Bearish pressures prevail, with momentum indicators and moving averages suggesting caution. No clear trend is in sight. Traders might consider small positions within these levels while closely monitoring for potential breaks in support or resistance for future trading opportunities. Conclusion Cardano (ADA) , XRP , and Polkadot (DOT) are showing potential. ADA continues to impress with its robust platform and active community. XRP benefits from ongoing developments and regulatory clarity. Polkadot stands out for its innovative technology and partnerships. While the current trend is promising, monitoring market dynamics remains essential. Future growth will hinge on broader adoption and ongoing innovation in the crypto space.

At Sui Basecamp, macro investor and Real Vision co-founder Raoul Pal delivered a characteristically sweeping address that framed the current crypto market environment as the beginning of what he called a “liquidity-driven supercycle” — with Bitcoin potentially reaching $450,000 before the end of it. Drawing from over three decades of macroeconomic research, Pal outlined his thesis through the lens of what he terms the “Everything Code,” a framework that centers on global liquidity, debt cycles, and currency debasement as the core forces shaping asset prices across all markets. Why $450,000 Bitcoin Is Possible? “Bitcoin’s year-on-year rate of change is driven by financial conditions with a three-month lag,” said Pal, pointing to the remarkably consistent correlation between total global liquidity and the price action of major assets. “The correlation between Bitcoin and global liquidity is 90%, and with the Nasdaq, it’s 95%. It’s hard to refute that this is not what is happening.” According to Pal, this correlation is not incidental — it is structurally tied to how the modern macro system operates, especially in a post-2008 world characterized by chronic debt overhang and systematic liquidity injections. Pal emphasized that most people misunderstand the true driver of crypto cycles. “Everyone talks about the halving, but this is about the debt refi cycle. Every four years, global debt rolls over, and central banks are forced to pump liquidity to avoid systemic collapse.” He added that the average maturity of global debt is four years, concentrated in the three- to five-year sector, which naturally produces cyclical liquidity waves that coincide with market booms in crypto. The mechanism, Pal argued, is a global financial shell game: “Scarce assets keep going up in price — real estate, equities, art, gold. Young people can’t afford them. What’s actually happening is a global taxation of 8% a year you don’t understand. Add in another 3% global inflation, and you’re looking at 11% debasement.” In this context, Bitcoin — with its fixed supply and decentralized nature — becomes, in Pal’s view, a rational escape valve for capital. Related Reading: Bitcoin Recovery Fueled By Almost $19 Billion In Crypto Inflows, Data Shows Notably, Pal referred to Bitcoin as the single best-performing asset in all of financial history, citing a 27.5 million percent return since 2012 and an average annualized return of 130%, despite massive drawdowns. “Nothing has ever come close,” he said, before comparing its performance to that of Ethereum (113%) and Solana (142%), with the caveat that Solana’s data covers a shorter timeframe. While some of his statements may appear hyperbolic, Pal backed them with a detailed macro analysis and time-tested indicators. He invoked his use of Demark indicators — a technical analysis tool — which flagged significant market turning points in prior cycles, and are now suggesting a breakout continuation for Bitcoin. According to his models, should the ISM (Institute for Supply Management) Manufacturing Index reach a level of 57, Bitcoin could be fairly priced at $450,000. “Is it exact? No. But all the people who are saying it’s going to $150K or $250K are probably scarred from the last cycle,” Pal argued, stressing the importance of forward-looking data. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Faces Stiff Resistance: Is Another Drop on the Horizon? He also dismissed current bearish sentiment as misguided and backward-looking: “People are creating narratives for today to explain liquidity conditions from three months ago,” he said, criticizing popular economic commentary on platforms like X. To Pal, the market has already priced in recent economic weakness — including fears surrounding tariffs, the slowing economy, and geopolitical tensions — and is beginning to pivot toward the next liquidity expansion phase. “Bitcoin’s already priced it down to 47.4 on the business cycle indicator,” he said, referencing data that had only just come out the day before. “But financial conditions lead by nine months, and they’re turning.” When Will BTC Peak? Pal’s broader view is that we are now entering “the banana zone,” his term for the high-velocity portion of the crypto cycle where prices move sharply upward. “Every cycle looks the same. Breakout, retest, banana zone. We’ve had banana one, the corrective zone, banana two. What’s next is banana three.” He believes the current setup is unusually strong due to a confluence of factors: synchronized global liquidity expansion, a weakening dollar, central banks beginning to ease, and retail plus institutional underexposure to risk assets. As he concluded his speech, Pal reinforced his thesis with urgency but caution: “We’ve got the central banks debasing currency, giving us a gigantic tailwind. They don’t want the system to break. Every time something happens, they inject more liquidity. They’re giving you free money. And to take that money, you need the volatility.” He warned against overtrading, using leverage, or panicking during inevitable corrections. “Don’t f*** this up,” he said, referencing his own past mistakes during the 2017 bull run. “Hold on to your tokens. Be careful. Don’t get FOMO. Follow the liquidity.” Pal expects this cycle to extend potentially into Q1 or Q2 of 2026, especially if political dynamics around a possible Trump re-election push the liquidity cycle even further. Whether Bitcoin ultimately reaches $450,000 remains to be seen, but Pal’s thesis is clear: the macro tailwinds are aligned, the data supports it, and this may be — as he puts it — “the greatest macro opportunity of all time.” At press time, BTC traded at $94,191.

Tron and Dogecoin rivalry blowing open with latest market drawdown
Alibaba’s new Qwen3 family of AI models has surpassed DeepSeek’s R1 to become the world’s best open-source model. According to reports, Qwen3 did better than R1 in tests that measure open-source AI models’ abilities in areas like language instruction, math, coding, and data analysis. The Qwen3 family was launched last week by Alibaba’s cloud computing unit. It has eight improved models with between 600 million and 235 billion parameters. In machine learning, parameters are the variables in an AI system while it is being trained. According to LiveBench platform, an independent platform that tests large language models, before these new tests, DeepSeek’s R1 had been the best open-source AI model in the world since it came out in January. But not anymore. Both US and Chinese companies rush to adopt Qwen 3 The rise of Qwen3 in the LiveBench rankings shows how quickly AI is developing in China. The Chinese tech industry has grown a lot thanks to open-source tools. The Alibaba open-source method code has allowed other third-party software developers to share the design, fix broken links, or make the program more powerful. However, the overall LiveBench results showed that Qwen3 was not as good as OpenAI’s o3, Google’s Gemini Pro 2.5, and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7, which are the best closed-source AI models in the world. LiveBench says that the o3-mini high, OpenAI’s most popular AI model, was the best in the world overall. Microsoft backs OpenAI. For every 1 million tokens, it takes $10 to run o3. On the other hand, Qwen3 is cheaper to use because it only costs $0.55 per 1 million tokens to run. Because Qwen3 is cheaper and works better, many businesses said they would back Alibaba’s newest AI model as soon as it came out. Huawei Technologies, Moore Threads, Cambricon Technologies, and Hygon Information Technology are all chip companies that have said they will support Qwen3. Cambricon said last Tuesday that it had successfully optimized Qwen3 to run quickly on its graphics processing units. This was done because AI developers in the Philippines wanted chips made in China. Qwen3 is also being used on the cloud computing services of Hyperbolic and Fireworks.ai, two AI infrastructure companies. The American chipmakers Nvidia and Intel have begun to support Qwen3. Many big data centers in China, like those in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, and the provinces of Hubei, Jilin, and Northwest Shaanxi, have also said they will use Alibaba’s third-generation Qwen AI models. The Supercomputing Network in China has also adopted Qwen3. This network links over 20 data centers in 20 towns across 14 provinces. Anthropic CEO says that DeepSeek was “a bit overblown” At a business event, a co-founder of Anthropic, the company that made the Claude AI models, said that DeepSeek is still “six to eight months behind where US frontier companies are.” He also said that the recent buzz around the Chinese start-up was “perhaps a bit overblown.” DeepSeek got attention around the world in late December 2024 and early January 2025 by sharing two advanced open-source AI models, V3 and R1. These models were made for a small fraction of the cost and computing power that big tech companies usually need for LLM projects. It’s unclear when DeepSeek will release the next generation of its models. The Hangzhou-based company quietly released its 671-billion-parameter Prover-V2 in late April . This was an update to its specialized model for handling math proofs. However, it hasn’t said anything about the progress of its long-awaited R2 reasoning model.

US President Donald Trump is rejecting allegations that he is personally benefiting from his administration’s crypto-friendly policies. In a new NBC News interview, Trump says one of the reasons for his administration’s pro-crypto stance is to avoid ceding ground to geopolitical rivals in the nascent space. “I’m not profiting from anything. All I’m doing is… I started this long before the election. I think crypto is important because if we don’t do it, China’s going to. And it’s new. It’s very popular. It’s very hot. If you look at the market, when the market went down, that stayed much stronger than other aspects of the market. But I want crypto because a lot of people, you know millions of people want it… If I own stock in something and I do a good job and the stock market goes up, I guess I’m profiting.” Trump’s interview is coming days after a study done by the State Democracy Defenders Action nonprofit said that the US president’s “recent foray into crypto” has allowed him to boost his net worth in a short amount of time. “The regulation of digital assets is in its nascency, but rather than divest his crypto assets to avoid any possible conflict of interest, President Trump seems to have positioned himself to maximize profiting from them by adopting a less aggressive regulatory and enforcement program than his predecessor.” A recent Fortune report estimated that Trump owns $2.9 billion worth of crypto assets.

An overwhelming majority of financial pyramid schemes operating in Russia target investors’ crypto funds, according to new data released by the country’s central bank. The Russian monetary authority has registered a spike in the number of fraudulent players offering fake investment opportunities involving digital assets, precious metals, and real estate. Fraudsters urge investors to send their cryptocurrency The Central Bank of the Russian Federation ( CBR ) has identified 2,780 entities suspected of illegal activities in the financial sector during the first quarter of the year, highlighting a 56% increase over the same period of 2024. More than half of them, 1,638, bear the characteristics of financial pyramid schemes, the regulator unveiled in a post on Telegram this week, quoted by the business news portal RBC on Tuesday. The rest have been posing either as professional participants in the securities market (897) or lenders (236), the authority detailed, elaborating: “Traditionally, pseudo-investment internet projects that act as financial pyramids or illegal brokers are in the lead.” As usual, the fraudsters launch multiple websites, social media pages, and Telegram groups to lure unsuspecting victims. Most of these channels exist only temporarily and seek minimal initial investments, the bank pointed out. Nearly all detected Ponzi schemes operated as online platforms offering Russians to put money into various investment plans with a promised fixed return. They often tried to convince people that their products were almost as secure as a bank deposit. The projects were advertised on social media networks and non-financial sites. They were sometimes promoted by bloggers as well, the CBR noted. The great majority of the pyramid schemes, 86% of the identified platforms, suggested investors should make their contributions in cryptocurrency, the regulator revealed. Last July, it put the share of pyramids attracting funds through crypto at 59%, RBC recalled. Crypto assets among scammers’ favorite investment offers The fake opportunities presented by the scammers included offers to invest in real estate, often abroad, in attractive destinations such as the popular Indonesian island resort of Bali. Besides income from rented-out property, they also promised a portion of the money spent by newly attracted investors. Many of the financial pyramid schemes enticed Russian citizens to invest in various cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, precious metals, commodities, and different businesses, offering quick returns. A few of the projects had less common proposals, such as investments in power bank rentals. Most of the illegal securities firms were acting as forex dealers, the central bank remarked, and many of them allegedly supported leveraged crypto trading, providing services without the mandatory license. Practically all operated online and had no official offices. Bank of Russia provided more details: “Pseudo-forex projects lure with promises of high earnings and are aimed at those who perceive trading on the foreign exchange market as a game of chance that does not require special knowledge.” A total of more than 5,200 websites of pyramid schemes have been taken down in the first three months of the year, and over 120 administrative cases have been initiated, the CBR emphasized. The bank has taken other measures as well, including to prevent advertising of such projects. The Central Bank of Russia has been a strong opponent to allowing cryptocurrencies to freely circulate in the Russian economy. In March the financial authority suggested the establishment of a special “experimental” legal regime for crypto operations and is currently working with the finance ministry on the launch of a state-controlled crypto exchange . Besides online pyramid schemes, Russian authorities have been restricting legitimate crypto-related websites. In April, Russia’s internet watchdog, Roskomnadzor, blocked access to the leading exchange data aggregator in the Russian crypto market, BestChange.ru.
