The post Crypto Market Outlook April 2025: DCA Strategy May Pay Off appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News The wider crypto market has continued to showcase resilience after the Asian and European stock markets recorded bullish sentiment on Tuesday. Bitcoin (BTC) has attempted to regain crucial support levels above $80k in the past two days in vain, triggering a spike in crypto speculative trading, especially perpetual and futures contracts trading. Is the Crypto Dip Over? Following the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrencies by institutional investors and rising new regulatory standards in major jurisdictions, Bitcoin price action has led the wider altcoin industry to follow major global stock indexes. From a technical and fundamental analysis standpoint, the rising crypto futures and perpetual contract trading have increased the correlation between Bitcoin and the wider altcoin. In the four-hour time frame, Bitcoin price has been confirming a macro reversal pattern, after forming lower highs and lower lows. As a result, a consistent close above the liquidity level between $88k and $93k will confirm a fresh rally beyond $100k. However, macro bearish sentiment has the upper hand, with a possible BTC drop towards $73k, which coincides with the 1.618 daily Fibonacci Extension . Bigger Picture With Bitcoin and the wider crypto market having been identified as a global economic game changer by the United States and top BRICS countries, it is safe to say a crypto correction bottom has already happened or is very close. Consequently, monitoring the trade war between China and the United States will offer a signal of crypto market reversal. Nonetheless, conducting Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) from now will turn profitable in the second half of 2025 amid anticipated U.S. and global recession. .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!

The SUBBD Token presale has just broken the $100K price milestone merely 48 hours from its official launch. But what’s behind this meteoric growth? The presale’s success rests on the fact that SUBBD is a creator-oriented ecosystem that promises to change the face of content creation with the power of AI. SUBBD addresses most of the problems that content creators face, such as high fees, overworking, and poor time management, with the help of integrated AI tools and the personal AI assistant. The SUBBD presale offers a fixed 20% APY for stakers and VIP benefits and exclusive content to holders. How the AI Can Streamline the Content Creation Process AI has permeated a lot of industries, like art, education, entertainment, finances, and cybersecurity. It was only natural that areas like content creation would also experience widespread adoption and it’s starting with SUBBD. Essentially, SUBBD is a content creation platform that allows creators to connect with their subscribers on a more personal level than ever before. Think TikTok plus YouTube plus cutting-edge AI. It comes with AI assistants designed to automate a variety of tasks, like streaming, content scheduling, post-production, and live chat management. The result is a more streamlined workflow, allowing creators more time to focus on the quality of their work, rather than micromanage various admin and behind-the-scenes tasks. In other words, SUBBD creators will have more time to dedicate to quality content than anywhere else. SUBBD also optimizes the payment system by reducing fees and implementing blockchain monetisation, which translates to more financial flexibility. Fans can pay their favorite creators with $SUBBD, fiat currency, or their best crypto coins in a low-fee system which benefits both parties. So, the creators will earn more, while subscribers will get more content at lower prices. But that’s not all. Everybody Can Become a Creator in the SUBBD Universe SUBBD’s true innovation comes from its ability to streamline the road from subscriber to creator, all thanks to AI automation. This is possible with the help of two primary tools: AI Creator: Allows you to design, brand, and monetize your favorite AI creation. AI Personal Assistant: Manages your workflow by automating fan interactions, handling user requests, and streamlining the post-production process.

What is $SUBBD Good For? $SUBBD is the project’s official token and comes with substantial benefits in the SUBBD ecosystem for both creators and users. Some of the perks it offers include: Early access to upcoming beta features Exclusive access to premium content like AI images and videos and influencer-approved sessions Access to advanced AI tools to help in the content creation process Stakers also enjoy additional benefits, such as the fixed 20% APY, XP multipliers, and VIP perks like exclusive livestreams and daily content. This means that $SUBBD will soon give the best altcoins on the market a run for their money in terms of ecosystem utility and size, but also adoption speed. It’s also worth noting that $SUBBD currently sits at $0.0551 and that this is the token’s starting presale price. This means that the price is guaranteed to increase as more people buy in, catapulting SUBBD among the best presales today. We base our belief based on several factors, such as: The fact that SUBBD Token has already on-boarded the top 1% of creators The fact that the ecosystem is exploiting a niche by making the process of content creation easier and more lucrative, such that anyone can participate and participants get a better deal The detailed roadmap consisting of three phases, each with multiple implementations Is $SUBBD About to Take Off? So, it’s natural to feel a bit of FOMO ( Fear of Missing Out ) taking over, especially with 100K+ already committed to it in just a few days and experts being bullish on it already. If you’ve decided to buy $SUBBD, head over to the SUBBD presale website and connect your wallet to the payment portal. We recommend Best Wallet for its ease of use and because it’s free. However, you shouldn’t take this as financial advice. DYOR (Do Your Own Research) and adopt solid risk-management strategies before investing, especially when it concerns high-risk assets.
Solana enters April with price volatility and cautious optimism as analysts eye key resistance levels around $130. Meanwhile, Binance Coin garners headlines following ETF speculation and on-chain growth, yet traders remain watchful amid regulatory uncertainty. But the spotlight may be shifting toward Remittix , a fast-rising altcoin shaking up the crypto scene with real-world payments utility. After raising over $14.3 million in presale, Remittixis gaining momentum as investors prioritize practical use cases over speculative hype. Solana Charts Hint At Potential Run Toward $180 Solana has started to show fresh signs of life after defending a major support level near $114.57. Now hovering around $119.73 , SOL is capturing trader attention as it quietly builds strength at a level that once acted as strong resistance in 2023 and early 2024. This area has now flipped into support, and the consistency with which buyers have stepped in at this price is turning heads. Long wicks forming at this level on the daily chart signal renewed buying activity. Market analyst Ether Wizz noted that Solana has responded to this zone with strong upward reactions, and the market appears to be respecting $114.57 as a key pivot. The fact that Solana price has bounced from this zone multiple times without breaking down suggests bullish intent—even if the momentum hasn’t exploded yet. Should buyers maintain this support, Solana price may push toward the $135 range, with further upside to $180 if volume and conviction return. While this depends on broader market sentiment, the groundwork for a technical rally is in place. Investors remain cautious, but the support has proven resilient enough to draw in both swing traders and long-term holders hoping for a breakout. VanEck ETF Filing Sparks New Optimism for Binance Coin Binance Coin (BNB) has managed to remain steady while broader markets buckle under pressure. As Bitcoin and Ethereum waver, BNB continues to show strength near the $580 mark . Even with a modest dip in trading volume, analysts point to healthy investor engagement, particularly after VanEck’s April 1st BNB ETF filing . This unexpected catalyst has injected new confidence into BNB’s trajectory. The Binance ecosystem is also thriving, with Total Value Locked (TVL) increasing, DeFi activity rising, and user counts growing daily. The exchange’s dominance—handling 44% of global crypto trading volume—has allowed BNB to partially detach from the trends dragging down its rivals. Technical analysts are now watching $600 closely. A clean break and hold above that zone could open up a push toward $720. If momentum continues, forecasts suggest BNB may revisit the $700 region before 2025 closes. Still, investors are cautiously optimistic. Regulatory shadows continue to hover, making it essential to watch prices and developments across the Binance ecosystem. Meanwhile, with many assets in consolidation, attention is growing for projects like Remittix—an altcoin that’s been gaining steam fast thanks to its real-world utility and massive presale traction. While BNB leads from the front, newer players like Remittix are building from the ground up, eyeing their own breakout moment. Cross-Border Payment Demand Drives Surge in Remittix Presale Remittix is quietly becoming one of the most talked-about altcoins in 2025—and for good reason. Currently priced at $0.0734, the payments-focused project has already raised over $14.2 million in its presale and sold more than 524 million tokens. While Solana’s April forecasts continue to divide opinion and Binance Coin commands headlines with ETF speculation, Remittix is winning over investors through raw utility. It’s not about layer-1 dominance or staking mechanics—it’s about solving an actual financial problem. Remittix tackles the inefficiencies plaguing global money transfers. Instead of waiting days and paying sky-high wire fees, users can convert over 40 cryptocurrencies into fiat in just a few hours. This simplicity appeals to a wide audience: freelancers, online merchants, overseas workers, and even small businesses trying to move capital internationally. With Remittix’s pay API, these transactions can happen in real-time and settle straight into a local bank account, eliminating the need to deal with custodial exchanges or middlemen. What sets Remittix apart isn’t just its functionality—it’s its accessibility. Anyone with a wallet can initiate a transfer, while the receiving party sees a standard bank deposit with no crypto tags attached. For users in highly regulated countries or underbanked regions, this is a massive win. And with all transfers logged on a public ledger, security remains tight, reassuring users and investors alike. Remittix Gains Ground as Solana and Binance Coin Show Mixed Signals As sentiment cools on headline projects like Binance Coin and Solana, investors are starting to appreciate Remittix’s clear path to adoption . It doesn’t rely on hype cycles or roadmap delays. Its model is straightforward: provide a cheaper, faster, and more transparent remittance tool. That focus has made it a favorite among traders looking for tangible use cases rather than speculative narratives. Analysts are now eyeing Remittix as a potential breakout candidate once exchange listings kick off. If even a fraction of the $190 trillion remittance market begins to flow through its system, the token could easily outperform better-known names in the coming months. April might be about price predictions for SOL and BNB, but Remittix is quietly building its case to become 2025’s most impactful altcoin.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse commented on move as rare opportunity for crypto
Ripple is acquiring Hidden Road in a $1.25 billion deal, marking the second billion-dollar-plus acquisition involving a crypto company this year—following FTX’s $1 billion purchase of BlockFi. Ripple ( XRP ) is acquiring prime brokerage firm Hidden Road for $1.25 billion as part of its strategy to attract more institutional investors through a wider range of services. The deal will be primarily cash-based, along with a portion paid in XRP and Ripple stock. Marc Asch, the founder of Hidden Road, will continue to lead the brokerage under Ripple. “Ripple needs to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to appeal and expand to a larger segment of the biggest bulge bracket institutions,” CEO Brad Garlinghouse told Fortune. Garlinghouse told CNBC that he anticipates the deal will be finalized by the third quarter of 2025 at the latest. You might also like: Ripple merges RLUSD into payments platform to expand utility Brad Garlinghouse explained that the acquisition came about after Hidden Road faced growth challenges due to balance sheet constraints and began seeking external capital to scale. As part of the acquisition, Hidden Road will integrate Ripple’s stablecoin , RLUSD, into its offerings and may also utilize the XRP blockchain for more efficient transaction settlements. Ripple plans to invest billions into Hidden Road to scale its operations and meet the growing demand for prime brokerage services in the crypto market. Founded in 2018 by Marc Asch, Hidden Road has quickly become a major player in the crypto prime brokerage space, competing with the likes of FalconX and Coinbase Prime. The firm reported $3 trillion in fund transfers in 2024. Previously, it raised $50 million in a Series A funding round backed by Castle Island Ventures, Coinbase Ventures, and Citadel Securities.

No Binance listing for Pi Despite massive community support and over 2 million votes pushing for a Binance listing, Pi Network’s native token remains unlisted and unheard by the exchange as of April 2025. Pi Network launched with a bold, although somewhat farfetched mission: make cryptocurrency mining accessible to anyone with a smartphone. No expensive hardware, no complicated setup — just a simple tap once a day. While the idea would have Hal Finney turning in his grave, the concept gained traction quickly, drawing in millions of users around the world and building one of the largest crypto communities to date. Naturally, as interest in the project grew, expectations around listing on major exchanges — especially Binance — began to build. In fact, more than 2 million of Pi Network’s users participated in a community poll in early 2025, with 86% voting in favor of pursuing a Binance listing. Yet as of April 2025, Pi Network’s native token, Pi, is still not listed on Binance, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume. In fact, there hasn’t even been an official statement from Binance. It’s a bit like knocking on a neighbor’s door for help and watching the curtain twitch — but no one ever opens. Why hasn’t Binance listed Pi? There are a few reasons Pi hasn’t made it onto Binance’s platform, both unofficial and official. Unofficially, concerns have circulated within the broader crypto space since Pi Network’s mainnet launch in February 2025 . Critics point to artificially inflated user metrics, Ponzi-style dynamics, centralized control of the network and tokenomics, or the lack thereof, as dead giveaways. However, the official stance of Binance experts familiar with the matter suggests: Blockchain compatibility problems: Binance’s “Vote to List” initiative favors projects built on the BNB Smart Chain. Pi Network operates on its own blockchain, so it doesn’t meet the core eligibility criteria. Transparency issues: Binance expects clear and public disclosures about how a token is issued, locked or burned. So far, Pi has not provided the level of detail that major exchanges typically require. Without that transparency, it’s difficult for platforms to assess the integrity of the token’s economics . Regulatory concerns: In regions like Vietnam and China, Pi Network has come under scrutiny for operating in a way that resembles multilevel marketing (MLM ). That kind of classification introduces regulatory uncertainty — something major exchanges prefer to avoid. Did you know? You can’t join Pi Network without a referral code; every user has to be invited by someone else. It’s designed to grow only through personal connections. Pi token faces market challenges Since missing out on Binance’s stamp of approval, PI’s price has continued to suffer, dropping to around $0.56 as of early April 2025 — an 80% plunge from its all-time high. And while Pi has made its way onto other platforms such as OKX , Bitget and MEXC , none of them bring the same level of exposure or liquidity. Without access to Binance’s massive user base and credibility, it’s hard for PI to gain serious traction in the broader market. Since then, Pi’s price line has been choppy. Short-lived spikes have mostly been driven by speculation — often around mainnet rumors or exchange teasers — but they’ve consistently been followed by corrections. The token has struggled to maintain upward momentum, and trading volumes remain thin compared to more established projects. The Pi Core Team has said it’s been working on improving transparency and tightening up the regulatory side of things. That’s a step in the right direction, but whether it’s enough to win over Binance — or any other top-tier exchange — is still up in the air. Can Pi survive? The answer to this question is twofold and relies on where one chooses to place the blindfolds. Blindfold on: Community power and independent infrastructure Pi Network does have certain advantages that could allow it to grow without relying on top-tier exchange listings. First, its user base is massive. Even with skepticism growing , Pi claims tens of millions of users — numbers most crypto projects would kill for. This scale gives the network a built-in market for its native currency, especially in regions where mobile-first solutions have real appeal. Second, the Pi Core Team has emphasized real-world usage. Through campaigns like PiFest, it has tried to prove that Pi is a functional currency as well as a speculative asset — over 125,000 merchants reportedly signed up to accept Pi during the March 2025 event . Even though the actual payment volume remained flat, the infrastructure is at least starting to form. The team also continues to build its own ecosystem — wallets, decentralizd applications and even a proprietary Know Your Customer (KYC) system — rather than relying on third-party platforms or validators. If Pi can evolve into a closed-loop economy, where users earn, spend and exchange Pi within its own environment, major exchanges may not be as critical. In theory, Pi could carve out its own lane: not as a speculative coin traded on open markets, but as a digital currency used in peer-to-peer economies and low-cost marketplaces. Blindfold off: A fragile ecosystem with mounting pressure Despite the initial hype, Pi Coin’s performance since its mainnet launch has been dismal. The token is facing major inflation pressure : Over 124 million Pi is being unlocked in April alone, with a total of 1.53 billion entering circulation in the next year, pushing the supply to over 8.2 billion. Meanwhile, the migration process is broken. Only a fraction of users have been able to complete KYC and access their coins, with many reporting lost tokens or endless verification loops. While smaller exchanges like OKX and Bitget list Pi, tier 1 platforms like Binance, Coinbase and Kraken have steered clear. The lack of transparency from the Pi Core Team on development milestones and token economics only deepens user frustration. Did you know? It’s been reported that Bybit’s CEO called the Pi Network a “scam” — a label the developers deny but one that hangs heavy in the absence of clear communication. Without exchange listings, is there a future for Pi Network? Could Pi succeed without major exchange listings? Technically, yes — but the odds are narrowing fast. To do so, it would need to pivot fully into a functional ecosystem where Pi is used, not traded. That means solving the KYC backlog, building a real application layer, attracting developers and showing meaningful payment activity. It’s a tall order. The more likely outcome is that Pi needs at least some exchange support to gain the liquidity, visibility and trust it currently lacks. Without it, Pi may remain a well-intentioned experiment that never fully escapes its enclosed garden — or worse, collapses under the weight of its own hype. In short, Pi Network doesn’t need Binance to exist. But to thrive? That’s another story.
