There is lots of chatter around PayPal and cryptocurrencies but it is often hard to find out the details and understand what the platform is actually offering. Is it a Crypto exchange, or can you just use your PayPal account to pay for cryptocurrencies, or can you use cryptocurrencies to pay for goods and services as you would with fiat currencies? We are going to try to take a deep dive and uncover what PayPal is actually offering in our cryptocurrency world and what these newfangled exchanges are. With the cryptocurrency market now worth more than one trillion, it is moving from the margins and taking up itsplace centre stage. In an unstable world, we seem to be seeing a craze for decentralized and digital currencies. Hundreds of virtual currencies are popping up. Relative turmoil The early days of Trump's latest presidency have been synonymous with crypto and speculation, and government policy have ensured the markets are in a constant state of flux. There has been much debate about whether a Trump meme coin launched before his inauguration was a scam for selling collectables or not. Regardless, it unlocked several phishing scams and attacks that led to accounts being hacked and passwords being stolen in under two minutes . Crypto exchanges are not places to buy goods or services with your Bitcoin, Ethereum or Tether, but they work like a stock exchange where investors can buy and sell their digital currencies. To the uninitiated, they can appear quite daunting with their talk of margin or lending trading and future and options trading. Before these exchanges came into being, investors could only obtain crypto via mining or organizing transactions via online and offline forums. Now, there are crypto exchanges operating worldwide with varying levels of security and fee structures. The ideal exchange makes trading easy, has reliable security features and does not charge excessive fees. Crypto Exchanges still relatively new Whether centralized or decentralized, they are a very new concept that try to match buyers and sellers. The pros are that they are an easy, hassle-free way to buy cryptocurrencies, allow legitimate trade, and many offer their users tax forms to make it easier for users to work out crypto taxes. Unfortunately, they are vulnerable to hacks and cyber theft; users do not have the right to hold their private keys, and if the exchanges fail, users cannot access their funds or trade places. This is why many users prefer to trade their cryptocurrencies on an established platform like PayPal. It is quite ironic that PayPal is now regarded as a reliable and almost traditional payment platform when it was once very much the disruptor and challenger . Presumably, at some point in the future, the "disruptor" crypto exchanges will become reliable and totally trustworthy, but for now, the whole exchange market is still quite erratic. PayPal and Crypto increasingly linked Over the past year, there has been a good deal of PayPal crypto news coming out of the US, with the company launching a US Dollar Stablecoin (PYUSD) just about eighteen months ago. The coin is backed by US dollar deposits, US treasuries, and similar cash equivalents, and it has a redemption value of US dollar 1.1. The company announced that PYUSD was also available on the Solano Blockchain, claiming this offered consumers faster and cheaper transactions. MoonPay's integration with the platform back in May 2024 ensures a seamless fiat-to-crypto experience for US-based PayPal customers. In addition, US merchants can now buy, hold and sell cryptocurrency directly from their PayPal business account, and it has sped up and reduced the costs of cross-border money transfers with Xoom. These integrations mean that people in Asia-Pacific and Africa should have better access to digital financial solutions from a trusted source, and businesses will not be restricted by traditional banking hours. PayPal's Senior Vice President of Blockchain, Cryptocurrency and Digital Currencies, Jose Fernandez da Ponte, said, "Cross-border transactions are an important driver for economic growth and prosperity in developing countries with this step, Xoom and its partners, like Cebuana Lhuillier and Yellow Card, will be able to leverage PayPal's payment technologies and the blockchain to enable seamless money transfers across borders further." PayPal is not an Exchange However, regardless of all its forays into crypto, PayPal is not a place to trade crypto for crypto; it is more a place to use, exchange and interchange crypto and fiat currencies. One of the areas where crypto is still most widely used is for people who enjoy a punt at an online casino. If you are Canadian, you will know that gambling is very much part of the DNA of the country. While crypto sceptics accuse investing in blockchain currencies as nothing other than a gamble, online casinos make no pretence that they are any more than a great entertainment option. Just as it can be hard to find a reliable crypto exchange, online casinos can also be a bit hit-and-miss - particularly offshore ones and those that accept cryptocurrencies. Unfortunately, it can all be rather like the Wild West and it can be hard to work out which ones are reputable. Fortunately, while online casinos that accept crypto payments via PayPal might be a fairly recent phenomenon, services that rate and review online casinos are not. For example, Casino.org ranks the top PayPal casinos in Canada , so that players do not have to take a risk. They can just get on with the fun, whether they are using fiat or cryptocurrencies or possibly a mixture of the two. Ultimately, while you can use PayPal for all kinds of cryptocurrency transactions, it is not a crypto exchange. You can use the platform to buy cryptocurrencies and the platform is also making it easier to use it. It allows consumers to pay for purchases using Bitcoin , Ethereum and other supported currencies with a seamless checkout process. Customers select their preferred currency at checkout – just as they would select a debit or credit card – and PayPal does the rest. PayPal also offers consumers features such as price alerts and recurring purchases, allowing users to buy, hold, sell, and manage their crypto assets through the platform. It can also be used to transfer crypto to family and friends, whether they are PayPal users or not. As the world wakes up to the potential of cryptocurrencies, PayPal claims to be leading the charge by unlocking new opportunities for consumers and businesses alike.

Bitcoin Magazine Beyond The Vault: Why Bitcoin’s True Power Lies In Motion Michael Saylor, you were forced to realise that all the store-of-value assets are defective and pushed you to focus on the only asset that is not. That does not make you immune to seeing the medium of exchange case. You will see how the housing market is huge when you watch it from one point of view and horrible from another. But if you experience pain driving you to keep your billions of dollars purchasing power, housing is a decent tool to keep it. Your SoV obsession misses the mark—badly. The biggest aspect of Bitcoin is the medium of exchange. Even though the fiat system increasingly separates money’s functions, that doesn’t mean it should. I get that saying Bitcoin is a medium of exchange is kicking the hornet’s nest, and all the other currency lords will try to stop Bitcoin. It’d be great if they joined in instead of fighting it. That will give all the billionaires certainty that they can put money in it, but simply using Bitcoin just to store value is attacking it. That approach will turn it into digital gold 2.0, captured. There’s no store of value without a medium of exchange! The medium of exchange comes first. You receive a transaction, then you store the Bitcoin. If the store of value were the main point, imagine announcing you lost your keys for your Bitcoin stack—you’d still store it perfectly, but without the medium of exchange function, the market will wipe out the fictional fiat value layered on top. That value is there exactly because it can move and still can be used as a medium of exchange. An oxygen tank is vital for reserves, but breathing matters more. The store of value is secondary and relies on the ability to transact. Without that, the store of value means nothing. Michael, you learned this firsthand when your million-dollar holdings in Argentina were diluted by 90%. You struggled to preserve the value not because you did not see it coming but because you couldn’t use it as a medium of exchange. True, a poor store of value weakens the medium of exchange, but why does the latter take priority? Because the ability to exchange is what lets you respond. By now, most people exposed to Bitcoin know the chart from Jesse Mayers that you popularized. You claim there’s no better idea than a $900 trillion clean store of value, then immediately call Bitcoin one of the world’s most liquid markets, running 24/7/365. Guess what? Liquidity means medium of exchange. Now, let’s break down the Jesse chart, starting with the housing market. It’s valued at $330 trillion, but it’s such a poor medium of exchange that it only trades for $1.3 trillion annually. Regulations and taxes make trading real estate even tougher. Still, since it’s more than 100 times better as a store of value, billionaires prize it, increasingly dominating the market and pricing out younger generations. A house might be valuable, but its worth grows not just from what it is but from its ties to nearby utilities. Build a road to it, and the value rises. Add a superstore or a gas station, or connect it to the electrical grid, and the value climbs again. The network creates opportunities for energy to flow into the area, boosting the chance to capture that energy as economic value, like money. So the exchanges that happen in the network are what increases the value of a house. But I see the flip side: if you’re a billionaire and everyone’s after your resources, you don’t want a big network around your house. You’d prioritize privacy instead. The house might lose value, but the goal shifts to raising the cost for others to reach you, reducing the chance to be attacked. What about the bond market? Bonds are valued at $300 trillion as a store of value, with $140 trillion traded yearly plus $25 trillion in new bond issuance. That means the medium of exchange value is about 50% of its total value annually. It’s better than houses in that sense, but the numbers still show people primarily use it as a store of value. Next up are equities. Valued at $115 trillion, they were traded for about $175 trillion. This shows their strength as a medium of exchange exceeds their store of value role. Take your MicroStrategy stock—you know it better than anyone. How much value did it store last year, and how much was exchanged through it? The next two sections are interesting. The art industry’s yearly transactions are so minor that they don’t even register on the chart. Meanwhile, the cars and collectibles sector sees trading volumes of nearly $4 trillion annually. This highlights that they’re mostly seen as a store of value each year, but it also reveals how poorly the housing market performs as a medium of exchange—outdone even by the car market. Ooooh gold! Gold bugs rave that it’s been around for over 5,000 years, calling it the ultimate store of value for whatever reason—yet it’s just 1.78% of the store of value market. This shows that once its medium of exchange role was stripped away, it became vulnerable to capture and manipulation. Sorry, gold bugs, that genie’s not going back in the lamp. Gold holds $16 trillion in value, and the gold bugs claim it could store the $120 trillion worth of money in it. They’re desperate to pump their bags, but the market disagrees, valuing the defective fiat money ten times higher than the shiny, lifeless rock. Is gold a better medium of exchange, then? It trades at $54 trillion yearly, boosted by derivatives, making its medium of exchange use 3.5 times its store of value role. Money might not dominate as a store of value among assets, but it’s the leading medium of exchange by far. Other stores of value assets don’t even come close. What if the dollar, the top currency, became just a store of value? It would collapse the USD network, boosting the value of non-US assets as their networks step in to meet the demand. Over time, their store of value assets would rise while USD assets would plummet. Global money totals around $120 trillion, but look at the top central banks’ transaction volumes: Fedwire at ~$1,182 trillion, TARGET2 at ~$765 trillion, CHAPS at ~$145 trillion, and others (partial) at ~$500 trillion (a conservative estimate due to incomplete data). So, while the store of value is $120 trillion—per the Jesse chart—the medium of exchange utility of these networks is over 20 times greater, which is around ~$2.5 quadrillion. What would the medium of exchange value be if 2 billion unbanked people were included? How many more transactions would that spark? And what if microtransactions were possible? Where does Bitcoin fit into all of this? The prevailing narrative urges holders never to sell, positioning Bitcoin solely as a store of value. Yet, the market tells a different story. In 2024, Bitcoin’s market cap hit $2 trillion, while the value exchanged on its first layer—the blockchain—reached $3.4 trillion. Factor in the Lightning Network (though its exact figures remain elusive), and the total likely approaches $4 trillion. This suggests that Bitcoin’s role as a medium of exchange is twice as significant as its store-of-value function. So, what happens if that long-standing “hold forever” propaganda narrative begins to fade? Bonds and equities are financial “instruments” that pretend to be money because fiat currency is flawed. This creates a market that shuts out much of the population from safeguarding their wealth, further splitting money’s store of value role. But how inclusive are these instruments? Or are they just tools to siphon value from the fiat medium of exchange, channeling it to privileged individuals and billionaires and others alike with a need to hoard? Globally, only 10-20% of people have exposure to bonds, mostly indirectly through pension or investment funds, not directly. For equities, 15-25% of the population has some access. That leaves at best 80% of humanity without these tools to protect themselves, making them vulnerable to exploitation. Splitting the store of value from the medium of exchange sets up a dynamic of extractors and the extracted. This amplifies the “cantillion effect”: those who can print the medium of exchange buy up store-of-value assets, sidelining 80% or more of people. It’s a feedback loop that weakens the system, widening the gap between haves and have-nots. The more you print, the more you disconnect money from its store-of-value role. Another very big part of the whole system is the fees. There are fees for sending dollars via the banking system, and that is a service, but how much are the fees when you want to switch from the medium of exchange into the store-of-value instruments? A lot more. That is creating so much friction in the whole system, and it contributes to excluding the have-nots from storing their value. At this point, the medium of exchange turns more and more into the medium of extraction rather than for exchange. This is also a reason why the store of value case is more appealing in the fiat system. Bitcoin is not pretending to be money like everything else; it is the first engineered money that doesn’t erode like a melting ice cube and doesn’t discriminate. It is the money of those who choose it. With no printer behind it, there’s no urge to swap it for a “better” store of value—there’s no second best. Even those without Bitcoin can use it to shape their lives into the lives they desire. Moving away from chasing money to store in something and instead building whatever enriches their lives on top of Bitcoin. The biggest idea isn’t storing value—it’s moving it. But to move value, you first need to have some stored. Then again, to have some stored, someone needs to move some your way first. That’s why the rich prefer assets that don’t erode like a melting ice cube. Meanwhile, those starting their careers focus more on receiving value than storing what they don’t yet have. Why does the store of value case draw so much attention? One reason could be the effort involved. With a store of value, you buy and hodl—no work needed to improve your life. With a medium of exchange, you must work to grow your savings, persuading others to pay for your goods or services in Bitcoin. Another factor: for most, their fiat portfolio still outweighs their Bitcoin one. Only when Bitcoin surpasses their fiat holdings will they consider enhancing their lives with it. That shift isn’t tough for much of the world’s population, who lack savings or assets anyway. This might explain why the current system resists letting them exit, pushing dependency by offering to custody their Bitcoin—trading one reliance for another. Even ossification ties into the need for more mediums of exchange use. You, Michael, strongly support ossification, but if Bitcoin isn’t used to reach more people, you’re delaying it. Unlike you, America knew that to make the dollar the world’s reserve currency, they had to distribute it widely to lock in the network effect. They saw the network as the key to ossification, and it worked easily since printing and sharing bills cost little. With Bitcoin, its absolute scarcity requires balancing how much to spread versus store. Still, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t spend any at all. The metaphor of storing fat in the body is key to long-term survival. True, but it overlooks the need for a steady food income to stay alive before storing fat. Without income, there’s nothing to store—so exchange comes first. Yet, for someone not worried about hunger, the focus shifts to storing food to prevent spoilage. I keep hammering this point to highlight your bias toward the store of value, which skews your judgment and misleads others. At this stage of my Bitcoin journey, I’m certain of this: chasing money corrupts you. Bitcoin shifts that—it stops you from pursuing money endlessly and lets you use it for the life you want. What happens when you have enough of everything you desire? What then? With Bitcoin, that’s entirely possible, and every Bitcoiner should be ready with an answer for when it happens. Chasing money, though, is a bottomless pit you can’t fill. The Bible says the love of money is the root of all evil. I agree, but how does it play out? What is the mechanism? Chasing money—making it the top priority and making the other things lesser—is the mechanism. You’re not building a Bitcoin standard—you’re stacking a deck. Like gold in the past, you’re the one this time hoarding Bitcoin from people and institutions, further entrenching the fiat standard. Saylor, you’re not attacking the dollar as some believe—you’re bolstering it by boosting your stock and its ecosystem. Instead, you’re speculatively hitting those who fund your Bitcoin buys. You’re not just hurting them; by strengthening the dollar, you’re amplifying the pain for other currency holders. Hoarding sats while the world watches? That’s not a cybercity—it’s a gated estate funded by their own money. I wonder if people would want to invest their Bitcoin in your securities. How many would actually do it? I’m sure true Bitcoin maximalists wouldn’t trade their perfect store of value asset for a fiat “instrument.” Ask yourself: at this point, would you spend your Bitcoin to buy Apple stock? You did invest in them before, after all. It makes no sense—I’d give you Bitcoin just for you to turn it into some fiat thing, pay fiat fees, bolster fiat custodians and third parties, only so you can buy Bitcoin again on the other end. In the end, I don’t have proof, but I’m fairly certain you already know everything I’m saying in this article/message. Though it’s written to you, Michael, it’s aimed at those who see you as the new Bitcoin Jesus, blindly following without questioning your actions. They make reckless bets in their own lives—bets that could wipe out their Bitcoin—lacking the financial safeguards and interest rates you have. Your messages, which they echo, don’t apply to most of humanity. Bitcoin isn’t just another asset or financial tool—it’s borderless, permissionless money for the people. Treating it otherwise diminishes its true worth. Merely storing it won’t bring freedom. Letting sats flow builds the network. Letting sats flow fosters cooperation for a better future. Letting sats flow strengthens the ecosystem. Store some for tomorrow, but do not be the richest man in the grave—save them for plans that keep them moving later.

Dogecoin (DOGE) enthusiasts are closely monitoring the cryptocurrency’s movements after recent predictions suggest a potential rally. Analyst Javon Marks has made a bold forecast, claiming that Dogecoin price could see a significant price surge of over 270%. As pointed out by Marks, if the DOGE price remains above the ascending trend, the price might break though the current highs and touch the levels as high as $0.6533. This is because such optimism has been attributed through trends seen in the performance of Dogecoin price in the past. Dogecoin Price Trends Point to 270% Rally At the current phase, Dogecoin price is highly likely to move toward bullish sentiment once again. Javon Marks highlighted that DOGE has been making higher lows since the recent swing low area. A healthy trend that has prevailed from last week is manifested by the higher lows, meaning the price is preparing for a surge up. In his case, Marks predicts a $0.6533 target which is 270% above the current ones. Subsequently, Javon Marks also emphasized that every time DOGE price formed higher lows, it moved up to even higher levels. This consistent behavior, coupled with the current trend, leads Marks to predict that a rally could be imminent. According to his forecast, the next wave could push Dogecoin price above its resistance levels and set new price records. This prediction follows Trader Tardigrade’s forecast of a “J-shaped rebound” for Dogecoin price, which may set a path to a new ATH. Resistance and Support Levels for Dogecoin Ali Charts, another crypto analyst, has outlined key resistance and support levels that traders should watch closely. He identifies $0.18 and $0.21 as key resistance levels. If the Dogecoin price breaks above these resistance levels, Dogecoin could trigger the next major rally. On the other hand, Javon Marks also highlighted important resistance zones for the Dogecoin price. These include the $0.25 to $0.26 range, which has previously acted as a point of support but has now turned into resistance. If Dogecoin’s price drops below this range, it could find buying interest and potentially bounce higher. If the price fails to breach these resistance levels, it could indicate further downside movement toward the $0.16 area. Furthermore, recent whale activity has caught the attention of analysts. According to Ali, whales have been accumulating large amounts of Dogecoin, with over 220 million DOGE purchased in March alone. This buying activity indicates that larger investors may be positioning themselves for a possible rally, further adding to the optimism surrounding Dogecoin’s price outlook. DOGE Bullish Outlook Amid New Upgrade Among other appealing scenarios of Dogecoin price prediction , there is a planned upgrade of the ecosystem that implies switching to a new consensus algorithm called Proof-of-Twerk (PoTW). In the whitepaper, this proposal elaborates on how the current Proof-of-Work (PoW) mechanism can be replaced with fun and games. Similarly to Marks, Cantonese Cat also featured analysts on their chart that project a bullish reversal of Dogecoin. Based on the weekly chart, the DOGE price has painted several bullish signals such as the long-term diagonal trendline and a convergence between the 100-week and 200-week SMA crossover. Cantonese Cat notes that Dogecoin’s recent price movements near this trendline are essential to watch. A successful retest and defense of this trendline could confirm the breakout, supporting the case for further price increases.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer expects the UK to be hit by more tariffs when Donald Trump announces his latest round of tariffs on Wednesday. Downing Street also said it “reserves the right” to respond to protect the UK’s national interest. The president had announced 25% levies on cars, steel and aluminum imports, and is expected to impose further tariffs on countries with which the U.S. has a trade imbalance or those he regards as imposing unfair taxes or regulation. The U.S. government has singled out VAT as an example of an unfair tax, but Downing Street has rejected the characterization. UK ministers have also been pressured to drop the 2% digital services tax which hits big U.S. tech firms such as Meta, Google, and Amazon. UK ministers prepare for Trump tariffs on Wednesday Downing Street revealed that it expects the UK to be hit by more tariffs when Donald Trump establishes his trade barriers on April 2. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that the UK “reserves the right” to respond to the tariffs to protect national interest. UK ministers are expecting the nation to be hit by tariffs that will apply to all countries as part of the U.S. president’s “ liberation day .” UK’s hopes for a deal before Wednesday are also fading as the former top UK trade negotiator Crawford Falconer warned Keir Starmer’s plan for an “economic prosperity deal” with the U.S. could take as long as a year to come to fruition. Falconer argued that the UK got a year at most for a deal, but “Trump and the government will say no, we can do this quicker,” and they can get the deal done in a matter of months as opposed to years. Starmer maintained that officials will continue talks with the U.S. “as long as there’s a chance to reach a deal.” The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) noted that if the U.S. imposed a reciprocal 20% increase in tariffs on all trade partners, the UK’s economy would be 1% smaller than its central forecast in the peak year of impact in 2026 to 2027. The OBR argued that in that scenario, it would wipe out all of the government’s fiscal buffer as additional tariff revenue was more than offset by lower receipts from income, corporation, and consumption taxes. Starmer’s official spokesman Dave Pares said the UK has been actively preparing for all eventualities ahead of the expected announcements from President Trump this week. Pares also expects the UK to be impacted alongside other countries. “Our trade teams are continuing to have constructive discussions to agree a UK-U.S. economic prosperity deal, but we will only do a deal which reflects this government’s mandate to deliver economic stability for the British.” -Dave Pares, British Prime Minister’s spokesperson. Stock markets plummeted on Monday in their worst month in two years after Donald Trump acknowledged that the new tariffs he is expected to announce tomorrow would hit “all countries.” The president told reporters on Air Force One that “you’d start with all countries. Essentially all of the countries that we’re talking about.” UK ministers expect a hit on Trump’s tariffs United Kingdom ministers have been engaged in intense negotiations in recent weeks with the U.S., but are now resigned to being hit with whatever Trump announces on April 2. Government sources have maintained they did not recognize the timelines suggested by Falconer. The country’s ministers argued there was deep uncertainty around what the U.S. President planned, including within his own administration. They also acknowledged they are taking a “cool-headed” approach and are prepared for multiple scenarios. Pares also mentioned that the UK has been clear that a trade war with the U.S. was not in the national interest, but the nation will reserve the right to respond in a way that does protect British industry once details are viewed. He added “that’s why we’re preparing for all eventualities. It’s why we’ve said that we rule nothing out.” Falconer, who was the government’s most senior trade official until the end of last year, noted that failure to avoid new tariffs on Wednesday would hurt the UK economy, but he backed Starmer’s plan to seek a wider deal. The former top UK trade negotiator believes it will be damaging to some people if tariffs are applied, particularly exports, autos and steel. He also argued that it’s not going to shift the United Kingdom economy overnight, “God knows we survived Brexit, which is far bigger than this is going to be.” The official, who led the UK’s attempts to reach a comprehensive U.S. free trade deal during Trump’s first term, also added that Labor could face mounting pressure to retaliate. He said that “the government needs to be careful that mood doesn’t shift, and if Europe moves, they might get under some pressure.” The former British ambassador to the U.S. Kim Darrock noted that UK ministers need to be wary of giving Trump wins. He argued that tariffs are Trump’s all-purpose forcing mechanism and he’ll use them again if he sees them working. Cryptopolitan Academy: Tired of market swings?

Mutuum Finance (MUTM) , which is currently going at $0.025 in phase four of its presale, has already raised $6 million from 7,700 investors in less than four weeks, signalling growing demand for a token that analysts expect could follow in the footsteps of Cardano (ADA) and Binance Coin (BNB). With Phase 4 at an end, excitement builds for a 20% price jump to $0.03 in the next stage. Meanwhile, its exchange listing target of $0.06 has now secured early backers an impressive 140% ROI, with forecasts indicating even bolder post-launch gains toward $1.50-$3.50 by late 2025. The combination of accessibility and explosive potential makes MUTM an anomalous asset below $0.05 with billion-dollar relevance. Mutuum Finance Presale Momentum Gathers Pace Thanks to its structured presale model, investors are competing to grab its tokens now at a price which will be raising at each phase until Phase 4 ends. The now-$0.025 entry point provides a last opportunity ahead of the subsequent stage boosting prices by 20%, with this repeating across 11 brackets until $0.06 launch. Tokenomics suggests 140% profits for buyers at launch, with post-exchange forecasts offering life-changing returns. If it even reaches $1.50 (a modest target among bullish analysts), a $1,000 investment today would swell to $60,000. That kind of arithmetic accounts for why a high percentage of phase 4 allocations have already been made. Certik is also finalizing technical audits to strengthen investor confidence further. Channels and social media will report the outcomes once finalized, which might spark another demand increase. The team’s clarity of vision and sound security protocol clearly stand opposed to just another high-flying flock of coins weighted more heavily on hype than fact, drawing parallels to the operational integrity of industry-leading assets BNB. As MUTM rises, ADA struggles against bearish pressure, its price hovering around $0.69 after a 6% dip. Sell pressure is feeding itself, analysts warn, with a possible drop to $0.64 if the trend continues in tandem with the woes of both Bitcoin and Ethereum. And while BNB attracts risk-averse holders, MUTM targets asymmetric opportunity seekers—a dynamic that’s contributing to the speed of its presale. The Last Phase 4 Joining Call Mutuum Finance is only getting newer by the minute, with some funding rounds in MUTM Phase 4 now rapidly drying out! The project’s buy-and-distribute mechanism channels revenue generated on the platform back into token buybacks, providing continued buying pressure well after launch. When combined with mtTokens—interest-bearing deposit certificates—the MUTM ecosystem encourages long-term holding, lessening sell pressure and magnifying scarcity. The early purchasers not only enjoy immediate paper profits but also establish the best yields to compound their future earnings from staking and liquidity mining. With the completion of Certik’s audit, there is less time left to buy below $0.03. Market monitors compare MUTM’s trajectory with the initial days of Binance Coin, where early adopters realized exponential returns. Billions budgeted for ADA and BNB set precedent, which makes Mutuum Finance’s fusion of DeFi utility and thoughtful tokenomics a manifestation of a similar fate—but only for those acting before the Phase 4 curtain draws. Secure Your Position Ahead of Price Changes MUTM offers an inclusive value proposition amid a historically expensive sector and presale mechanism designed to provide natural protection against wider market shocks. MUTM, on the other hand, rides an upward trajectory tied to audited protocols and a use case beyond speculation, as established tokens reflexively ebb and flow. Head to Mutuum Finance’s official channels to get in on Phase 4 ahead of price and likely billion-dollar maker opportunity goes.

Gaming is more than just a mere entertainment. It brings together several elements of the entertainment world, including the relative crypto industry. The power of blockchain technology has propelled into the gaming world and has led us to hundreds of gaming tokens that are now available for players to invest in. Let's take a closer look at five gaming tokens that are currently causing a stir and which value could hit a rise in 2025. 1. Beam (BEAM) You may think that gaming tokens are all about the excitement and flashiness, but BEAM’s more about privacy for its users. The token uses a privacy-centric blockchain, which is designed to carry out secure and confidential transactions. This comes following an increasing demand for data protection within burgeoning in-game economies and calls for robust encryption. The BEAM platform features impressive technology, which is easy-to-learn for anyone with a fair bit of developing knowledge, However, BEAM’s widespread adoption may be held back due to the token’s relatively low market visibility and liquidity, which are dwarfed by some of the market caps of cryptocurrencies . Beginners may find some of the tech a little confusing, too. 2. Flow (FLOW) Flow is a blockchain built to handle the heavy traffic of online games and digital collectibles, like the famous NBA Top Shot moments . It’s designed to let lots of people use it at the same time, without slowing things down. Developers find it easy to work with, and even people new to crypto can get started without too much trouble. The idea is to make online gaming and collecting smoother and faster. The Flow token is, of course, what people use to buy, sell, and participate in the platform. However, Flow isn't the only player in this space; it has to compete with well-known options like Ethereum and Solana. Whether or not it really takes off while depending a lot on the success of the big projects using it, and like any crypto, its value can go up and down. Some people also have questions about how decentralized it really is. That said, some experts are saying that the token’s value has bottomed out over the last year and could be about to go up again. 3. Decentraland (MANA) MANA-powered Decentraland is a blockchain-based virtual world on the Ethereum blockchain. Founded in 2017, Decentraland serves as a platform for multiplayer game creation using the intuitive Decentraland Builder. This offers a vast library of 3D items for building and creating in-game tokens, which you can then trade freely with other players in the form ofvirtual land parcels. The virtual world nature of Decentraland allows for many different game designs, and some of those designs may include mini-games or discovery systems. These games use mechanics like a Random Number Generator RNG ensuring that outcomes are unpredictable and purely based on chance, like what you get in free slots games. The MANA token´s value has dipped dramatically over the past year, but there are signs that it is now stabilizing and could be about to take off again. 4.

A well-known cryptocurrency analyst, EGRAG Crypto, has outlined a potential timeline for XRP to reclaim its previous all-time high. Despite the ongoing bearish trend, the analyst believes historical market patterns suggest a significant price recovery within the next few months. Two-Peak Pattern in Bull Runs According to EGRAG , XRP typically experiences two major price surges within a single bull market. The first peak is often followed by a period of correction before the asset rallies again to a higher level. Drawing from past market cycles, he argues that the current downturn is consistent with the token’s historical behavior and that a second peak could still emerge. #XRP – 90 to 120 Days Until ATH! The RSI chart below shows important historical patterns! I was one of the first to notice that #XRP usually has two peaks during #Bull Runs. Reviewing past cycles, we see that in 2021, the second peak occurred after 90 days, while in 2017,… pic.twitter.com/MgPpbwnmS3 — EGRAG CRYPTO (@egragcrypto) March 28, 2025 Currently, the asset is trading just above the $2 mark, facing strong resistance after its drop from $3.4 in January. This decline mirrors similar corrections seen in previous bull cycles before the cryptocurrency surged to new highs. EGRAG suggests that the present market conditions align with past patterns, reinforcing the possibility of another rally. Analyzing Token’s RSI Trends To determine when XRP might reach a second peak, EGRAG examined the asset’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) on the monthly chart. The RSI measures price momentum and often signals trend reversals. In past bull runs, the token’s RSI followed a distinct pattern: an initial spike during the first peak, followed by a period of decline before another surge aligned with the second peak. This pattern was evident in both the 2017 and 2021 market cycles. In 2017, XRP’s RSI climbed to 95 when the price hit $0.3988 in June. Following a correction, the RSI dropped to 66 by September, remaining in this range for about three months before the price surged to $3.8 in January 2018—roughly 91 days later. In 2021, XRP first peaked at $0.79 in November 2020, with its RSI reaching 65. However, a market downturn in December, compounded by the SEC lawsuit against Ripple, caused the RSI to drop to 47.24. Despite this setback, the token eventually climbed to $1.96 in April 2021, about 120 days after its initial peak.

When it reached $3.4 in January 2025, the RSI spiked to 84 before declining. Based on historical trends, the analyst anticipates that XRP could remain in a consolidation phase for 90 to 120 days before rallying again. This suggests that a second peak may occur between May and June 2025. Although the analyst did not specify a target price for this anticipated peak in his latest analysis, he previously speculated that XRP could eventually reach $27. This projection was based on a separate market pattern he referred to as the “Kangaroo phase.” Current Market Outlook At present, the token is priced at approximately $2.07, reflecting a 3% decline for March. Market analysts, including Dom, have noted that the $2.2 price level, which previously acted as a support zone, has now become a resistance point. Until XRP reclaims this level as support, the overall market structure remains bearish. While uncertainty persists in the short term, historical data suggest that XRP’s past performance could provide valuable insights into its future trajectory. If the pattern identified by EGRAG holds, the asset could be on track for another surge within the coming months.
