Metaplanet has added another 1,234 Bitcoin to its treasury, bringing its total holdings to 12,345 BTC, as the Japanese firm continues to ramp up its ambitious digital asset strategy. The latest acquisition, confirmed in a filing on Thursday, reflects the company’s ongoing pivot toward Bitcoin as a core treasury asset. The purchase adds to a string of high-profile moves by Metaplanet this month, including the launch of its sweeping “555 Million Plan,” aimed at raising $5.4b to buy 210,000 Bitcoin by 2027. That figure would represent roughly 1% of the cryptocurrency’s fixed 21m supply. *Metaplanet Acquires Additional 1,234 $BTC , Total Holdings Reach 12,345 BTC* pic.twitter.com/ppeGIrfVfe — Metaplanet Inc. (@Metaplanet_JP) June 26, 2025 With 54M New Shares Issued, Metaplanet Intensifies Its Push To Corner 1% Of Bitcoin’s Total Supply On June 24, Metaplanet announced it had raised more than $517m on the first day of the 555m Plan through the issuance of 54m shares. That equity was exercised by EVO Fund under an earlier stock acquisition rights agreement. Thursday’s filing reveals that Metaplanet acquired Bitcoin at an average price of ¥15,617,281 per BTC, which translates to about $107,900. The scale of the latest buy cements Metaplanet’s position as one of the largest public corporate holders of Bitcoin in Asia. At current prices, the company’s Bitcoin treasury is worth over $1.3b, according to market trackers. Its holdings are now roughly equivalent to what Tesla held at peak before selling a portion in 2022. Metaplanet’s Bitcoin Bet Channels MicroStrategy’s Playbook as Shares Surge The company’s strategy mirrors that of US-based MicroStrategy, which has turned Bitcoin accumulation into a long-term balance sheet strategy. Like MicroStrategy, Metaplanet has pursued equity-linked funding tools to fuel its BTC acquisitions, positioning the stock as a proxy for Bitcoin exposure in traditional capital markets. Since announcing its Bitcoin pivot in April 2024, Metaplanet’s shares have surged more than 500%, drawing interest from both retail traders and global investors looking for regulated exposure to the cryptocurrency. The firm, originally a hospitality business, has rebranded its market identity around Bitcoin in recent months, even naming the strategy a “corporate awakening.” While Metaplanet has not commented on specific future purchase timelines, it has outlined a clear target: to hold more than 200,000 BTC within three years. The company has stated that 96% of all funds raised under the 555M Plan will be allocated toward Bitcoin acquisition, with the remainder used for bond redemptions and yield strategies. With each major purchase, Metaplanet is tightening its alignment with Bitcoin’s long-term thesis as a hedge against inflation and currency debasement.

Ethereum and Bitcoin Traders Are Broadening Their Horizons Veteran holders of Ethereum and Bitcoin are beginning to reallocate capital as 2025 unfolds. With Ethereum fluctuating around key resistance zones and Bitcoin consolidating post-rally, many traders are adopting a diversified strategy. Instead of relying solely on large-cap momentum, they are identifying promising altcoin entries that offer untapped growth potential. One project standing out in this shift is MAGACOIN FINANCE — a lesser-known altcoin that is beginning to gain traction among serious crypto investors. These early movements are not hype-driven but rather based on structural fundamentals and trader behavior. With both Ethereum and Bitcoin experiencing more modest upside expectations this quarter, MAGACOIN FINANCE’s positioning is drawing sharper focus. MAGACOIN FINANCE: The Quiet Accumulation That’s Gaining Traction Unlike previous meme projects that exploded purely off viral hype, MAGACOIN FINANCE has been building under the radar — and building strong. The project has locked its supply at 170 billion tokens, eliminating dilution risks and giving investors clarity on long-term valuation frameworks. More notably, the code has passed a HashEx audit, boosting confidence among institutional-style traders. Staking has recently gone live, with early participation indicating that buyers are entering with long-term intent. Wallet activity suggests that new entrants are locking tokens rather than flipping them — a critical indicator of healthy market structure. This has led analysts to describe MAGACOIN FINANCE as more than a speculative trade; it’s becoming a strategic hold. Additional elements that are reinforcing investor interest: Token ownership is fully decentralized, with no VC override or insider control. The staking system is live, rewarding early adopters and encouraging retention. A 100% bonus is currently available for new investors using a limited-time access link. Momentum is no longer speculative. On-chain data is showing organic wallet growth, stable concentration patterns, and a healthy transition from early traders to long-term holders. Analysts believe this shift is what separates MAGACOIN FINANCE from earlier meme cycles. Uniswap Watch: A DEX Favorite with Growing Expectations Uniswap recently became the first decentralized exchange (DEX) to surpass $3 trillion in total trading volume, cementing its dominance in the DeFi sector. The platform currently processes around $3.3 billion in daily volume and holds a 23% market share among DEXs, with PancakeSwap trailing at 21%. Despite this achievement, Uniswap’s total value locked (TVL) has fallen below $5 billion, mirroring a broader contraction in DeFi TVL since 2021. Final Thoughts: Positioning for What Comes Next As Bitcoin and Ethereum take a breather and Uniswap awaits a technical breakout, investors are recalibrating for upside. MAGACOIN FINANCE is emerging as a surprising favorite — with fundamentals, participation, and smart tokenomics supporting its momentum. For those seeking an early edge ahead of wider exposure, this project may offer one of the more compelling entry points of the 2025 altcoin market.

Kalshi, a prediction market platform, has raised a $185 million investment round, pushing its valuation to $2 billion. According to The Wall Street Journal , the raise was led by crypto-focused investment firm Paradigm, with additional participation from Sequoia Capital, Multicoin Capital, and other venture capitalists. Kalshi co-founder and CEO Tarek Mansour confirmed that the money will be spent on expanding the company’s technology team and connecting its markets to additional brokerages. The Kalshi contracts are currently available on Robinhood Markets and Webull platforms, and are expected to be available on more retail platforms. I’m excited to announce our $185M Series C valuing Kalshi at $2B. The round was led by Paradigm with participation from Sequoia, Multicoin, Peng Zhao, Neo, and Bond Capital. People choose to work at Kalshi not because of the money we've raised, but because of our ambition:… pic.twitter.com/OGgZSwOPvj — Tarek Mansour (@mansourtarek_) June 25, 2025 In its statement, the firm noted, “In the past year alone, the platform has increased volume by 100x, users by 10x, active markets by 5x — all while securing multiple important licenses and legal victories, including a historic victory in federal court that enabled Americans to trade on the outcome of elections for the first time in over 100 years.” Launched in 2018 by Mansour and Luana Lopes Lara, Kalshi had already secured $156 million, including its 2021 Series A, $30 million, and short-term loans last year. This latest round is an indication of renewed confidence by investors in event-related financial products, especially those that follow a regulated framework. CFTC dispute ends, clearing expansion path The funding follows a significant regulatory trend. In May 2025, the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) dismissed its appeal of a court decision that had permitted Kalshi to continue trading political prediction contracts. The case was over the question of whether these contracts were illegal gambling under commodities law. The case dismissal eliminates one of the main legal impediments to Kalshi and provides a firmer establishment of political event markets in the U.S. Mansour celebrated the decision, citing that what previously had been considered unachievable is now inevitable due to the Kalshi team and community for bringing prediction markets into the mainstream. In the 2024 U.S. presidential cycle, political markets on Kalshi reported a trading volume in excess of 875 million, further strengthening the platform’s appeal. According to Kalshi’s website, the platform also saw over 16 million trades during the New York City Mayoral Primary election. Kalshi vs. Polymarket Kalshi’s chief competitor, Polymarket , is also said to be raising capital by $200 million at a $1 billion valuation. Although Polymarket has taken the edge in open interest, with slightly below 600 million in active markets, Kalshi now has more active markets, based on third-party information aggregated by Polymarket Analytics. Polymarket has gained notable popularity because of its massive election-focused pools aimed at predicting elections, including its U.S. presidential market, which exceeds $3 billion in volume. However, Polymarket does not hold licenses to conduct activities in the U.S., which presents a regulatory vacuum that Kalshi has exploited. According to Bloomberg Intelligence statistics, the sports prediction markets run by Kalshi have also exploded in popularity, with the company making up 79% of all trading volume in March and the start of April. Kalshi has further integrated into the crypto ecosystem through a new integration with ZeroHash, allowing it to make deposits in Bitcoin, Solana, Worldcoin, and USDC. The move to accept digital assets stands to make the platform address networks of crypto-native traders. In yet another high-profile move, Donald Trump Jr. joined Kalshi as a senior advisor in January. Cryptopolitan Academy: Coming Soon - A New Way to Earn Passive Income with DeFi in 2025. Learn More

The post Pi Network Price Breakout Prediction: Is $1 Next After 19% Surge? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News Pi Coin is showing signs of a strong comeback ahead of Pi2Day. In the last 24 hours, its price has jumped over 19% to $0.63, with trading volume soaring 153% to $285.65 million. The coin has also climbed to the 1 spot on the trending crypto list. According to analyst Kim H. Wong , this surge is an important milestone for Pi Coin, especially with Pi2Day just three days away. The event is expected to bring updates on the project’s progress, ecosystem growth, and AI integration. If Pi breaks above the $0.65 resistance, it could quickly rise to the $0.80 to $1 range. With its all-time high at $3 and a recent low of $0.40, Pi Coin still has room to move higher. Analyst Joe Swanson added that this breakout is happening exactly as he expected, and it might be the beginning of a longer rally, one that could gain even more strength as Pi2Day 2025 approaches. Technicals Show Bullish Signs for Short-term Pi Network’s charts show a neutral trend overall, but there are signs of short-term strength. Short-term moving averages (10, 20, and 30-day) are mostly showing buy signals, pointing to a possible upward move. However, the longer-term averages (50 and 100-day) are still flashing sell signs, so the long-term trend remains weak for now. What To Expect On Pi2Day? The rally comes as excitement builds around a possible GenAI announcement on June 28. The Core Team is also expected to reveal major ecosystem updates. Whale activity is also driving the price as one wallet has bought over $173M worth of Pi, likely a big institutional player. The community is waiting for the launch of KYC Sync, making it easier for users to link their ID between the Pi App and Browser. This move pushes millions closer to full Mainnet migration. Will A Correction Follow Next? However, some analysts warn that Pi’s recent rally could be short-lived. While hype and technical momentum are driving the surge, a correction may be on the horizon. Additionally, over 268 million PI tokens are set to unlock in July, the biggest release until 2027, which could put downward pressure on the price. Dr. Altcoin recently shared that the recent Israel-Iran ceasefire is a positive signal for Pi. He says that Pi is unlikely to drop below $0.40 and expects a slow rise starting late August as token unlocks decrease.

World Liberty Financial, the Trump-affiliated crypto firm behind the USD1 stablecoin, is preparing to release its first audit and launch a mobile app aimed at retail users. The update was shared by WLF co-founder Zak Folkman on June 25 in a Blockworks interview during the Permissionless conference in Brooklyn, as reported by Reuters. The audit, which is expected to be completed in a few days, will provide details on the reserves backing USD1, which has grown to a $2.2 billion market cap since launch in March. The stablecoin is backed by U.S. dollar deposits, cash equivalents, and U.S. Treasuries. It runs Ethereum ( ETH ), BNB Chain ( BNB ), and TRON ( TRX ), with BitGo acting as the custodian. Folkman said WLF will begin publishing monthly reserve reports going forward. WLF is also preparing to roll out a mobile app designed to make using crypto simpler for everyday investors. “We’re going to have very transparent auditing from a financial level,” Folkman said.

WLFI currently allows holders to vote on protocol changes but is not listed on exchanges. Although WLFI and USD1 have brought in hundreds of millions of dollars for Trump’s family business , they have also come under fire from lawmakers and critics. The timing of Trump’s cryptocurrency ventures has been questioned by ethics watchdogs, particularly as his administration rolls back regulatory oversight in the industry. The Trump family allegedly pocketed over $130 million after reducing their ownership of WLF from 60% to 40% in June, a move that reportedly brought in a total of about $190 million. Despite the criticism, adoption continues. The stablecoin has been gaining traction among institutional users. USD1 was used in a $2 billion investment in Binance by MGX, a UAE-based firm in March. Earlier in June, a $4 million USD1 airdrop reached over 85,000 wallets, boosting awareness and confidence in the stablecoin’s infrastructure. Thanks to new tools, growing demand, and an expanding user base, WLF appears to be establishing USD1 as a major player in the stablecoin market.
