Cryptocurrency firms operating in member states of the European Union will be required to beef up their cybersecurity and risk management as the economic bloc implements a new regulation. EU authorities recently announced that the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) took effect on January 17, a comprehensive and harmonized regional regulatory framework that will govern the digital operational resilience of financial institutions and crypto firms in member nations. The New Regulation EU authorities consider the DORA policy as a crucial step to enhance the digital operational resilience framework of financial institutions operating in the countries that are part of the regional bloc, saying that the new regulation aims to address the inconsistencies and gaps in the cyber risk management within the bloc. The DORA regulation does not only apply to financial institutions and banks because it also covers crypto-asset service providers, insurance companies, investment firms, and management companies. Cryptocurrency businesses in the European Union are subject to new cybersecurity regulations as DORA takes effect on January 17. How Will It Impact VASP? Analysts see that the cybersecurity and resilience practices of virtual asset service providers (VASP) in the European bloc will be greatly affected by the imposition of DORA. Legal intelligence JD Supra stated that one of the provisions under the new EU rule is developing and reviewing ICT third-party risk management strategies such as having mandatory provisions in contracts with ICT service providers and “a registry of information documenting all existing contractual arrangements.” This DORA provision would affect VASPs in the region because financial entities in the EU will be compelled to have a comprehensive register of their contractual arrangements with third-party IT service providers. An official of the crypto exchange Gemini believes that DORA is essential to improve the financial sector’s operational resilience against ICT-related risks. “In readiness for DORA, we have implemented a Digital Operational Resilience Strategy, an ICT risk management framework, ensured clear governance structures, and adopted best practices to ensure the continuity, security and resilience of our services,” Gemini head of Europe Mark Jennings explained. Expanding MiCA Rule Crypto analysts said that the new EU regulation is seen to expand the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), saying that the goal of DORA is to enhance the resiliency of crypto firms against disruptions and cyberattacks, protecting investors and boosting market integrity. An executive of the crypto infrastructure firm MoonPay said that the new regulation would have a considerable impact on MiCA-licensed crypto companies. “All crypto asset service providers licensed under MiCA are subject to the DORA requirements,” MoonPay’s deputy general counsel and head of Ireland Matt Sullivan said. Sullivan revealed that their crypto infrastructure firm is already taking steps to become a DORA complaint entity. MoonPay got its MiCA license from the Dutch Authority for the Financial Market only last December 30, 2024. A Challenge To Small Service Providers Wormhole Foundation general counsel Cathy Yoon said that VASPs can deal with the provisions of DORA and have more likely implemented strict cybersecurity measures to maintain their compliance with the new regulation. However, Yoon worried that startups and smaller service providers might find it difficult to get their DORA compliance. “Taking a proactive approach to security and building out cybersecurity measures in line with DORA may have significant implications for smaller service providers, especially startups with limited capital to comply with DORA,” Yoon said.

Crypto analyst Tony Severino has provided some insights into the current Bitcoin price action. He revealed that the Bitcoin upper hand has moved above $105,400 and hinted at where the flagship crypto could be heading next. What’s Next For Bitcoin Price As Upper Band Moves Above $105,400? In an X post, Severino revealed that Bitcoin’s upper band is now above $105,400. With this development, he alluded to a previous analysis in which he revealed what could happen once the price breaks above $105,400. In the analysis, the crypto analyst mentioned that things could get interesting once BTC breaks above $105,400. Related Reading: Dogecoin Open Interest Spikes To Nearly $5 Billion – Impact On Price He then predicted that Bitcoin could rally to as high as $170,000. The analyst made this prediction while revealing how BTC witnessed a 90% surge from the wick low at the lower band to the local high. This happened the last time the flagship crypto got a head fake to the lower band before moving to the upper band. Based on this trend, Severino believes the Bitcoin price could record another 90% surge and rally to as high as $170,000. This price target is significant as it could mark the top for the flagship crypto. The crypto analyst mentioned that the cycle top for Bitcoin can be discussed once BTC reaches this $170,000 target. However, market experts like Standard Chartered have suggested that Bitcoin could rally beyond this $170,000 target. The financial institution predicted that a rally to $200,000 by year-end is achievable. Bernstein analysts also described a rally to $200,000 by year-end as conservative, meaning Bitcoin could rally higher. This bullish outlook for Bitcoin mainly stems from the fact that Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20. The pro-crypto US president-elect is expected to implement a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve for the country, which will boost the flagship crypto’s adoption. BTC Not Far Away From A New All-Time High Crypto analyst Rekt Capital has suggested that Bitcoin will soon reach a new all-time high (ATH). In an X post, he stated that BTC is one daily resistance away from breaking out to a new ATH yet again. The crypto analyst added that a daily close above the final resistance followed by a post-breakout retest would be enough to launch the flagship crypto into price discovery. Until then, Rekt Capital mentioned that Bitcoin would continue to range between $101,000 and $106,000. Crypto analyst Titan of Crypto offered a more optimistic outlook for the BTC, stating that the flagship crypto has started its rally. He remarked that, as anticipated, the crypto has broken through resistance and is now primed for a strong rally.

An analyst predicts XRP, Bitcoin, and Solana will face significant selling pressure in the coming weeks. The analyst expects blue-chip assets to struggle in the short term as volatility rises and the Donald Trump administration comes into power. Meanwhile, whales are turning their attention to PropiChain (PCHAIN), an AI-driven altcoin focused on transforming the real estate industry. PropiChain has already raised over $2 million as smart money and retail investors bet big on the low-cap altcoin. The low-cap altcoin has the potential to outshine XRP and Solana. Analyst: XRP Triggers Sell Signal A pundit has indicated that XRP is flashing a sell signal, suggesting a potential correction for the altcoin. XRP has surged 44% in a week, taking its price to $3.27. Its yearly gains have extended to 475%. XRP has reached its highest price since 2018 and is less than 6% away from a new all-time high. The pundit claims that XRP is due for a correction. Bitcoin is already trading below $98K after reaching $100K. However, other analysts say XRP could hit a new peak before plunging to less than $3. PCHAIN: Traders Rush to Undervalued Low Cap Altcoin PropiChain is an undervalued low-cap altcoin attracting savvy investors. It is 200% up in the first two rounds of the presale, with more gains expected after listing on secondary exchanges. The promising altcoin is tipped to outperform XRP, an altcoin calling the shots during the current bull market. Investors are piling cash into the PCHAIN token not only because of its low $0.01 price but because of its potential to transform the real estate market with tokenization and fractional ownership. Real estate tokenization enables PropiChain’s users to buy portions of high-end properties. This allows them to earn passive income through rental income while their investments appreciate. It offers investors the chance to diversify their investments and build generational wealth. The AI features powering PropiChain are a game-changer. With its AI-driven predictive market analysis, the platform’s users have access to future real estate market patterns, helping them make informed decisions. PropiChain’s automated valuation models provide accurate property appraisal, making transactions smoother and more reliable. Buyers and sellers can rely on real-time data, eliminating the guesswork. This makes it easier for real estate deals to be closed quickly. Another important feature is smart contract automation . It handles transactions such as auto-leasing and lease renewals on behalf of landlords and tenants. By automating real estate management, PropiChain eliminates manual work and enhances efficiency. The platform’s smart contracts have been thoroughly audited by BlockAudit, a leading Web3 security firm. This makes the platform safe for users and investors. The addition of a metaverse for virtual property viewing adds a cutting-edge layer to the platform. Investors can walk through properties digitally to improve their decision-making process. Solana Faces DApp Activity Decline Solana’s DApp volumes have dropped by 10%, but strong inflows helped it surge. The layer-1 network regained strength and reached $211, marking a 9.5% gain in the past week. However, an analyst believes that Solana and XRP could face selling pressure that will tank their prices. Solana has also seen a decline in the total value locked (TVL), further fueling the predictions for a short-term correction. Invest in PCHAIN for Insane Returns in Q2 2025 PCHAIN is the best low-cap altcoin to invest in for massive gains in the 2025 bull market. At only $0.01, PropiChain is highly undervalued, allowing investors to make life-change gains. The low-cap altcoin is already up 200% during the first two rounds of the ongoing presale. Whales are rushing to buy the PCHAIN token before the presale is sold out. After listing the PCHAIN token on CoinMarketCap , PropiChain is attracting a new wave of investors keen on earning maximum returns on their investments. This development has solidified PropiChain’s commitment to transparency. If you missed XRP or Solana, this is your chance to invest in a project with unlimited potential. Invest in PCHAIN’s presale today at only $0.01 per token to grow a $1,000 investment into $500K by Q2 2025.

Let’s talk about incentives in crypto—how they’re designed can really make or break a platform’s adoption. Polkadot leverages parachain auctions to boost developer involvement, while Tron champions staking programs that benefit those in it for the long haul. Yet, it’s BlockDAG ’s LAUNCH300 that’s turning heads by delivering a unique and immediate advantage to its participants. It combines easy access with substantial bonuses, setting itself apart in a crowded market and attracting both individual and institutional interest. BlockDAG: Redefining Incentives with a Bold Approach At the heart of the action, BlockDAG’s LAUNCH300 initiative offers a limited-time 300% bonus for early birds in its presale stage. This isn’t just any perk—it’s a strategic decision aligned with BlockDAG’s pledge to honor buyer confidence. The setup is crafted to maximize immediate returns and encourage ongoing involvement. LAUNCH300 doesn’t play favorites; it levels the playing field for all, fostering an environment where everyone can thrive. The program’s simplicity is its strength, ditching complications like staking or coin locking, providing a clear, upfront benefit that’s both liquid and actionable. Raising over $181 million, LAUNCH300 has carved out new norms for presale perks in the crypto realm, escalating the coin’s value to $0.0248—a whopping 2,380% spike since its debut. This approach isn’t just filling wallets—it’s building a committed and active community around BlockDAG’s expanding ecosystem. Polkadot: Pioneering but Selective Polkadot’s game plan revolves around parachain auctions, which let projects snag slots on its network. While this fosters innovation, it tends to favor those with deeper pockets, often leaving smaller investors out in the cold. The rewards? Locked in for six to 24 months, they’re not exactly liquid, which can be a turnoff for anyone looking for quicker access to their gains. While Polkadot excels at nurturing its ecosystem and ensuring scalability, its focus might be a tad narrow, particularly for regular investors craving more immediate and flexible rewards. Despite its success in cultivating a strong developer base, it’s time for a rethink to keep up with more inclusive, investor-friendly models like BlockDAG’s LAUNCH300. Tron: Loyalty Over Liquidity Over at Tron, the emphasis is on staking rewards and incentives for continued ecosystem engagement—great for promoting long-term stability and participation. Yet, this approach demands a lengthy commitment, which might not sit well with everyone, especially those looking for faster returns. As the network grows, maintaining consistent staking rewards becomes a challenge, possibly affecting the reliability of these incentives. Market Trends & Strategic Shifts The crypto community’s response to BlockDAG’s LAUNCH300 has been nothing short of enthusiastic. Early signs show a robust uptick in presale activity, signaling strong market alignment with the desire for immediate, substantial rewards. By introducing upfront bonuses, BlockDAG may well set a new trend, shaping future incentive strategies across the industry. The standout success of LAUNCH300 poses a significant challenge for Polkadot and Tron, prompting them to revisit their incentive strategies as the market tilts towards offerings that provide quick, tangible benefits. Key Insights BlockDAG’s LAUNCH300 is a bold affirmation of its commitment to community value, clearly outperforming the growth strategies of established networks like Polkadot and Tron. As it continues to smash presale records, BlockDAG is not just on a growth trajectory but is actively redefining participation in the crypto landscape, offering both new and seasoned buyers exciting opportunities to join its success story.
