Cryptocurrency prices have pulled back in the past few days, but a few signals point to an eventual comeback. Bitcoin ( BTC ) price has formed a cup-and-handle pattern, pointing to potential gains that could take it to $140,000. ETF inflows have also jumped and are nearing the key milestone of $50 billion. Similarly, the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 Index has surged to a record high of $22,500, while the S&P 500 Index has climbed to $6,170. Both indices are up over 27% from their April lows. Further, there are signs the Federal Reserve may begin cutting interest rates in September, while the US dollar index has plunged. Additionally, the U.S. and China are reportedly close to signing a new trade agreement. Best altcoins to buy today ahead of the bull run The bullish Bitcoin pattern and the surging S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices may trigger the next crypto bull run. Some of the top altcoins to buy are Sei ( SEI ), Aptos ( APT ), and Aerodrome Finance ( AERO ). 1. Sei Sei price chart | Source: crypto.new Sei is one of the best-positioned altcoins ahead of the next bull run. It’s a fast-growing EVM-compatible chain gaining traction in gaming, DeFi, and stablecoins. It’s also under consideration to run Wyoming’s stablecoin initiative. The Sei price has risen from a year-to-date low of $0.1315 to a high of $0.3337 on June 25. It recently broke through resistance at $0.2767, invalidating the previous double-top formation. With the price now above both the 50-day and 100-day moving averages and the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement, further gains are likely. Bulls may target the 50% retracement level at $0.4340.

Memecoin-focused blockchain MemeCore launched a rewards program with a special focus on screening out bots. Memecoin season is in full swing, and platforms are looking to capitalize. On Friday, June 27, MemeX, a memecoin launchpad on the MemeCore blockchain, launched a viral campaign to reward its users, but also to highlight the problems with AI in blockchain. In particular, MemeX will distribute $700,000 in rewards to its users, with close attention to screening out bots. For this reason, they rolled out a tongue-in-cheek verification system called Proof of Sh*t. The idea behind it is simple: bots can’t fake bodily functions. Finally. We’re here with @KaitoAI . With Prize pool of $700K❤️🔥$M In celebration to collaboration with @KaitoAI , we are introducing the new PoS, Proof of 💩 — a simple human verification system where users prove human with every day 💩 It’s absurd, it’s unforgettable, and… pic.twitter.com/jJRZRxPW0N — MemeX (@MemeX_MRC20) June 27, 2025 The self-admittedly absurd stunt has users log their bodily functions daily, with proof sent to MemeX. While the system is clearly designed to attract attention, MemeX stresses that it remains a verification method that AI still can’t fake. For users who pass verification, rewards will be distributed proportionally to the amount of engagement they generate during the campaign. The top 30 users will receive $10,000 each, while those ranked from 51–100 will get $2,000. A total of 400 users will receive ranked rewards, distributed in MemeCore tokens, when the campaign ends on July 24.

However, they also suffer from a persistent bot problem. Crypto bots can create thousands of wallets, simulate real engagement, and siphon off rewards meant for actual users. The practice, called airdrop farming, is something crypto projects are actively trying to stamp out. However, short of KYC procedures or biometrics, it remains particularly difficult to distinguish between real users and bots in crypto. What’s more, some projects go too far in the opposite direction and end up denying airdrop rewards to legitimate participants. Read more: Jupiter airdrop farmer earns $1.1m using thousands of wallets

While Bitcoin’s price has barely budged over the past month, hovering around the $106,500 mark, behind the scenes, something more telling is unfolding: the whales are back. The number of Bitcoin wallets holding 10 BTC or more just hit a 3.5-month high, according to on-chain data from Santiment. As of June 27, 152,280 wallets now fall into this “whale and shark” category, each holding over $1 million in BTC. It’s the highest count since March 12, and it’s happening despite the sideways action in price. “As markets have been volatile, smart money has accumulated on most retail panic sell cycles,” Santiment noted in its report. Bitcoin whale and shark wallets. Source: Santiment Bitcoin whale and shark purchases It’s worth highlighting that a pattern where large holders accumulate as smaller investors exit, is not new, but it is telling. While retail investors grow weary during consolidation phases, institutions and high-net-worth players often treat them as accumulation windows. Bitcoin is up more than 70% over the past year but has traded relatively flat in the short term: down 1.12% on the day, up just 1.28% over the past week, and slightly negative on the month. That’s precisely the type of lull where professional money quietly builds positions, often anticipating the next major leg up. So should everyday investors follow the whales? Historically, spikes in whale wallet counts have preceded significant moves in Bitcoin’s price. It’s not a guarantee, but it’s often an indicator that confidence remains high among long-term holders, especially in a backdrop of ETF inflows, macroeconomic easing, and growing global adoption. With retail interest cooling, the smart money appears to be positioning ahead of the crowd, again. The post Bitcoin big players are making moves; Should you follow? appeared first on Finbold .
