BitcoinWorld Top 3 Projects Leading Web3 Innovation in 2025 – WonderChain · io.net · World “Technology becomes true innovation only when it integrates into everyday life.” Chris Dixon, a partner at a16z and one of the leading thinkers in Web3, recently stated in an interview, “Web3 is not just a technology—it is a fundamental movement to return the internet to its users.” His words capture the essence of the current Web3 landscape in 2025. The market no longer revolves around abstract concepts or speculative assets. Instead, the key criteria for evaluating projects have become: “How well does it function in real life?” and “How many users are actually experiencing its value?” As technical advantages give way to usability and structural utility as success factors, three projects are emerging as frontrunners in this pivotal shift, drawing global attention across the Web3 space. WonderChain – A Real-Life Web3 Ecosystem Connecting Travel, Rewards, and Global Commerce WonderChain is the world’s first Web3 system to integrate travel, real-world rewards, and global commerce into a single cohesive structure. Users can sign up effortlessly using just an email or social media account—no wallet installation or seed phrases required. Through real-time location verification, community missions, and commerce participation, users earn credits, which they can then spend on real-world products, creating a self-sustaining value loop. Additionally, gas fees generated within the ecosystem are automatically burned, forming a deflationary structure that reinforces both the scarcity and intrinsic value of the utility token. WonderChain has recently entered the Southeast Asian market by signing an MOU with Indonesia’s Cashtree, which has over 22 million users. Building on this, strategic partnerships are actively expanding with major players such as MAP (Indonesia’s largest retail group), Dana (e-wallet platform), and Telkomsel (telecommunications provider). Recently selected alongside Bitcoin and Celestia as one of the top 3 next-gen projects to watch in the 2025 bull run, WonderChain is rapidly gaining global momentum ahead of its official launch in mid-2025. io.net – Leading the DePIN Space by Connecting AI and Web3 Through Distributed GPU Infrastructure io.net is a DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) project built on Solana that connects unused GPU resources worldwide to establish a decentralized AI infrastructure. Both individuals and enterprises can utilize AI compute power more affordably and flexibly than traditional centralized cloud services. This project is a prime example of how Web3 technologies can solve real-world industrial challenges. With validated user data and a functioning revenue model, io.net has established itself as a dominant force in the DePIN category and is rapidly emerging as a credible alternative to traditional Web3 infrastructure. World (formerly Worldcoin) – Revolutionizing Digital Identity and Global Financial Access via Iris Authentication World, spearheaded by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, issues digital identities called World ID through iris authentication. This bold solution tackles one of Web3’s longest-standing challenges: identity verification. Under the principle of “one person, one account,” World enables fair reward distribution, trusted DAO voting, and broader financial inclusion. Tens of millions of users have already obtained World IDs, and its iris-scanning devices, known as Orbs, have been deployed across dozens of countries—laying the foundation for a global digital civic infrastructure built on Web3. Conclusion – These 3 Projects Are Rewriting the Future of Web3 Through Real-World Utility WonderChain, io.net, and World are each bringing Web3 to life in distinct but impactful ways. WonderChain connects everyday activities with consumption, effectively “domesticating” Web3 into users’ daily routines. io.net uses decentralized infrastructure to tackle inefficiencies in industrial systems, proving Web3’s tangible utility. World addresses the core challenge of digital identity and trust, laying the groundwork for blockchain-based civic systems. The Web3 market in 2025 is no longer about hypothetical possibilities. The defining criteria have become: Does it work in everyday life? and Do real users feel its value? io.net and World have already proven global traction and credibility through listings on Binance. WonderChain, with its structural completeness and global expansion strategy, is also being viewed as a strong Binance listing candidate. In this quiet but decisive shift, WonderChain · io.net · World are not just trends—they are shaping up to be the new standard for the next generation of Web3.

TL;DR Although the entire crypto market is in the red today following the developments on the Israel-Iran front, Pi Network’s price experienced a more substantial crash. Within just minutes, the asset’s price tumbled by over 35% before staging a recovery. Global uncertainty often impacts the entire cryptocurrency market immediately due to the volatile nature and its 24/7 trading availability. This was certainly the case in the past 12 hours or so as Israel’s strike against Iran caused substantial price drops for all crypto assets. However, while many larger-cap alts posted 7-8% drops and BTC’s plunged by 3-4%, Pi Network’s native token experienced a much more violent correction. Its price stood at roughly $0.62 before a painful candle took it south by 35% to just under $0.4. This flash crash essentially drove the PI token down to its all-time low levels registered in early April. Is $PI powered by Iranian nuclear facilities? It dipped from 0.62 to 0.4 in one minute. But it is already recovering. Bullish for $PI . #PiNetwork pic.twitter.com/yigrikD6Ij — MOON JEFF (@CRYPTOAD00) June 13, 2025 Its price has recovered a lot of ground since then and now sits at $0.56, but it’s still 13% down on the day. Moreover, it has plunged below the May lows of $0.6. Recall that the Pi Network Core Team hinted about a big announcement in early May, which resulted in an immediate and massive price surge that drove PI from $0.6 to almost $1.7 within days. However, the asset started to lose traction fast , even before the announcement went live, and plunged to just over $0.6 after the team launched a new initiative aimed at investing in Pi Network-native projects. The PI token unlocks, which occur on daily scales, can also impact the native coin’s price, and there are certain warnings in its future. According to PiScan, more than 340,000,000 PI will be released in the next month, with June 18, June 26, July 5, and July 7 standing out as the days with the biggest unlocks. Such developments tend to increase the selling pressure as some investors who had been waiting for years for their tokens might decide to secure profits. PI Token Unlock Schedule.

Despite failing to break out of its downtrend, ONDO could be preparing for a surge above the $2 barrier. Some analysts suggest it could repeat its 2024 playbook if it continues to hold its current levels. Related Reading: Ethereum Prepares For Massive Run After $2,800 Reclaim – ‘Up Only’ Ahead? ONDO Breakout Eyes $2 ONDO, the native token of the tokenized real-world asset (RWA) platform Ondo Finance, is attempting to reclaim a key area amid the market pullback. Notably, the cryptocurrency has struggled to hold the $1 mark since losing the area as support over three months ago. In December, the RWA token hit its all-time high (ATH) of $2.14 after US President Donald Trump’s crypto venture, World Liberty Financial (WLFI), purchased 134,216 ONDO tokens for 250,000 USDC. This propelled ONDO’s price above the $2 barrier for the first time, but the late 2024 and Q1 2025 corrections halted its bullish momentum, sending its price to the $0.60-$0.70 range. Following the late April market recovery, ONDO’s price reclaimed the $0.85 area and broke out of its multi-month downtrend. The cryptocurrency then hovered between the $0.85-$1.10 levels throughout May, hitting a three-month high of $1.13 nearly a month ago. Since then, the token has been in a one-month downtrend, dipping below its local range after the recent market pullback. However, the cryptocurrency has been attempting to reclaim this range for the past week, hitting a one-week high of $0.92 on Wednesday. Crypto analyst World of Charts highlighted the token’s performance, affirming, “after a long correction, Finally Looking Good For Midterm.” As ONDO attempts to reclaim the $0.90 area, the analyst anticipates that the cryptocurrency will soon break out of its current range and the downtrend line, forecasting a 130% rally toward the $2 barrier. 2024 ATH Repeat Coming? On Thursday, analyst Sjuul from AltCryptoGems noted ONDO’s performance over the past year, asserting, “Not sure there are many other charts looking as good on high time frames like ONDO.” He explained that “The King of RWA” is “basically holding a bullish structure since its launch,” making a series of higher lows for over a year while maintaining its ascending support trendline. Meanwhile, analyst Alex Clay suggested that ONDO could see a parabolic run based on its performance in 2024. The market watcher noted that the token is currently accumulating at the bottom of a 15-month ascending channel, which previously served as a crucial bounce point for its rally toward its ATH. As Clay explained, after reaching the channel’s upper boundary last year, ONDO saw a multi-month downtrend toward the lower boundary, before printing a higher low. This was followed by a massive rally toward the channel’s top. Related Reading: Bitcoin Eyes New Highs As Price Retests $109,000, But Analyst Warns Of Potential Pullback This year, ONDO is “following the Bullish Fractal from the previous year” after falling to the channel’s lower boundary, breaking out of the downtrend line, and registering a higher low. “These 2 reasons are more than enough to pump straight up to the channel’s top,” the analyst concluded. If history repeats, the cryptocurrency could surge toward the $2.8-$3 area. At the time of writing, ONDO trades at $0.84, a 5.2% decline in the daily timeframe.

Summary ETH has lagged BTC, but recent outperformance and technical signals suggest the 'ETH train' might be arriving on the tracks. The Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust offers a competitive 0.15% expense ratio and Grayscale has strong industry experience, making it my top ETF choice. Institutional adoption is becoming increasingly imperative, and I believe the positive evolution in regulatory clarity is a good sign for the crypto world, and therefore for ETH as well. ETH is in a key technical zone, defined by the 50 and 200 MAs on the weekly chart, my tool for risk management. ETH-USD's price isn’t rising the way you expected, right? We’re used to seeing ETH as a lagging asset compared to BTC, but also more profitable during bull runs. And since it still hasn’t surpassed its previous highs, let’s say the delay is starting to feel odd. Like when you’re waiting for a train, and it starts to be a few minutes late. At first, you don’t worry; but when the delay hits 15 or 30 minutes, you start wondering if the train will actually arrive or be cancelled. This parallel fits well, because while all the impatient DeFi investors are hopping on other trains, even if slower, standing still and waiting for the ETH express to pass could lead to two outcomes: either you’re left stranded (so it’s better to jump on another train ), or the ETH express arrives and gets ahead of the others. Well, assuming that the express is the Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust ( ETH ) , how would you react if the loudspeaker just announced that the ETH express is about to arrive? What is ETH ETF? Grayscale Ethereum Mini Trust, a distant relative of the better-known ETHE, is an ETF, but not in Trust format. Instead, it’s a Spot version . Not a “mini” version, as the name might suggest, but rather a fully evolved Spot version of Ethereum (aligned with the most recent regulations). It’s a topic that’s been debated for months: to simplify, we’re talking about passive funds with the function of storing the underlying asset, in this case, held by the well-known Coinbase Custody Trust Company, LLC , just as we saw with its BTC ETF counterpart . Since 2024, an open war has broken out among the new Ethereum Spot ETFs, although we still don’t have a clear winner. If we were to rank them by AUM, ETH ETF would still be among the top performers, alongside its peer table. ETH Peer table (Seeking Alpha) But… On what basis should the choice be made? If this “war” isn’t about performance, given the index-linked nature of all ETFs, and not even much about NAV due to the Spot structure (unlike what happened with ETHE), then how do you choose an ETF? ETH Peer table - Performance (Seeking Alpha) Personally, I focus on track record and industry experience, and on fees: and in this, Grayscale proves very competitive. Active since earlier with the ETHE trust, it’s a well-established player in the market and now offers the mini version ((ETH)) with a 0.15% expense ratio, highly competitive , making it one of the most cost-effective options in my peer table. Back to the train… Following this somewhat extreme parallel, I believe that while BTC has already passed the station, ETH-USD is simply delayed, and that a voice over the loudspeaker has just hinted: “the ETH train is arriving.” Could it be mistaken? That’s what I sense when I look at the 1-month performance between BTC and ETH and see that ETH is clearly outperforming BTC. Data by YCharts And the narrative I personally think the market is following is the same one that, in my view, drove BTC to new highs: a steady increase in institutional adoption, supported by growing regulatory clarity, kicked off by the arrival of the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins Act. Criticized as much as praised, the GENIUS Act is quietly moving through Senate bureaucracy, having passed the closure stage (a procedural step), moving on to debate, and potentially heading toward a final vote. A step that, according to Trump’s own words, aims to integrate stablecoins into the U.S. economy and make the United States the crypto capital of the world. Of course, it’s more of an expectation than a certainty, but in my view, it’s what’s currently driving the bullish narrative around Bitcoin. And yet… Here I raise a strong critique of my own thesis: “it’s wrong to build positions based on political catalysts.” And I truly believe that . In fact, saying the GENIUS Act is the bullish catalyst at work is, in my opinion, just as mistaken as ignoring the fact that something is changing in the monetary system. Because beyond the stablecoin program, it’s impossible not to notice the growing integration of the crypto system into “traditional finance.” And that, yes, in my view, is a long-range catalyst. Just think: in a single year, we’ve seen two major Spot ETF approvals, and now we’re seriously talking about regulating a stablecoin-based monetary system . So… does it really make sense that the ETH train wouldn’t arrive, if the BTC one already has? Data by YCharts In my opinion, no. Ethereum is the primary infrastructure on which most stablecoins (USDC, USDT, DAI, etc.) operate. So theoretically, no, it doesn’t make sense for ETH to lag behind. And I think the price action is already showing some interest in that direction. ETH - USD (technical analysis) (Seeking Alpha) From a technical standpoint, we’re seeing what, I believe, is a bullish pattern, but what I appreciate most is that the risk appears theoretically manageable. Let me explain: ETH-USD has used the 100-week moving average as textbook support, showing strong buying demand. It has also broken through the faster-moving averages, the 21 and the 50, with conviction. Specifically, this week it broke above the 50-week MA, which it might use as support in the coming weeks if the trend continues. The risk is manageable because, in setups like this, I believe the moving average can act as a dynamic/trailing stop. And the natural question arises: why a dynamic stop? Risk We’ve said that the “failure” of the bill is not a long-term positive catalyst, and therefore not a negative one either. But certainly, it could create short-term volatility. In this sense, Elizabeth Warren’s comment , that the bill can’t work due to weak controls on corruption, foreign influence, and various conflicts of interest, brings real issues to light (as I discussed here). If these opinions were to start gaining traction, I’d expect significant volatility, and why not, even some downward moves driven by profit-taking. Conclusion To sum it up, overall, I believe the narrative behind ETH ETF justifies a BUY rating. The “ETH train” is on the tracks, and the crypto market is rising, judging by ETH’s outperformance over BTC in the past month. The doubt remains: where is it heading? Because I hate relying on political catalysts, they’re as disruptive as they are unreliable. But given the way I operate, I greatly value technical confirmation: the “alignment” of the 200 and 50 moving averages on the 1W chart, and the fact that there’s a clear technical reference point to rely on in case the trend reverses.

The post MicroStrategy Insider Sells $10M in Stock —MSTR Shares Drops by 8% appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News While Strategy (formerly known as MicroStrategy) continues to double down on Bitcoin, some of its top insiders are quietly heading for a big sell-off. One of the company’s member just sold his entire $10 million stake in MSTR stock. What’s more surprising? Not a single insider has bought any shares in 2025. This has raised concerns that this could hurt Bitcoin price and MSTR stock performance. $10M Sell-Off by MicroStrategy Insider Carl Rickertsen, a board member of MicroStrategy, recently sold all of his MSTR shares, worth over $10 million. This move is raising eyebrows, especially because Rickertsen has been with the company since 2022. He originally bought $700,000 worth of MSTR stock when the price was under $25. Since then, the stock has skyrocketed, making his exit highly profitable. Reports from Protos reveal that Rickertsen didn’t just sell, he exercised stock options and dumped the shares on the very same day. This kind of move often signals a lack of long-term confidence in a company. Zero Insider Buys MSTR Shares in 2025 What’s even more worrying is that no insiders have purchased MSTR shares so far in 2025. According to Protos, there have been 26 insider sales this year, with total sell-offs outpacing purchases by over $864 million. “Insiders might sell for many reasons, but they buy for only one: they think the price will rise” – Peter Lynch. Well, ZERO insiders have bought $MSTR in 2025. Instead, there have been 26 insider sales this year alone. 5 year score: Insider sales exceed purchases by $864M. pic.twitter.com/nZSzqFcWZe — Protos (@Protos) June 12, 2025 This trend paints a concerning picture for small investors, especially as the stock has dropped 10% in the past month. That’s a huge red flag for many retail investors, especially when the company’s own executives are not backing the stock they help run. Strategy: Continue To Accumulate Bitcoin This comes at a time when Michael Saylor, the face of Strategy, continues to promote the firm’s Bitcoin-first strategy. The company now holds a staggering 582,000 BTC worth over $63 billion. But despite all that, MSTR shares are down by 8% , currently trading around $379. Peter Schiff Slams MicroStrategy Famous economist and long-time Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff didn’t hold back. He called MicroStrategy’s business model a “complete fraud,” and claimed bankruptcy was only a matter of time. While Schiff admits he regrets not buying Bitcoin earlier, he still believes gold, not Bitcoin, will come out on top.
