Solana ( SOL ) is experiencing a steady inflow of capital as anticipation builds around the launch of the first-ever Solana staking exchange-traded fund ( ETF ) in the United States. Over the past week, Solana’s market capitalization has increased by $12.23 billion, rising from $68.32 billion to $80.55 billion, representing a 17.9% rise. Solana one-week market cap chart. Source: CoinMarketCap This capital inflow has coincided with a price rally, with SOL trading at $151, up 16% on the week and nearly 1% in the past 24 hours. While the broader crypto market is benefiting from easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, Solana’s gains are being significantly driven by optimism surrounding the upcoming ETF. To this end, ETF provider REX Shares is nearing the launch of its REX-Osprey Solana Staking ETF, having reportedly addressed key regulatory concerns with the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC). The ETF is designed to offer investors exposure to Solana while generating onchain staking yield, a feature long awaited by the cryptocurrency investment community.

Add it all up, and it appears as though all systems go for imminent launch,” Balchunas said. Meanwhile, ETF analyst James Seyffart described REX Shares’ approach as “very rare,” highlighting that it bypasses the standard 19b-4 filing process, a step that other crypto-staking ETF proposals are still waiting on SEC approval for. Additionally, the market will be closely watching the SEC’s progress on the possible approval of a spot Solana ETF amid a wave of pending applications. Notable applicants include Invesco, VanEck, and Bitwise, some of which have amended their filings to address the regulator’s concerns.

Crypto markets are heating up again, and traders aren’t waiting around. Two tokens under $3 are gaining attention for their strong upside heading into 2025: Ripple (XRP), which continues to ride regulatory momentum, and Mutuum Finance (MUTM) , a rising altcoin that’s turning heads in the DeFi market. The project has already attracted over 12,500 investors who have raised $11.2 million while the presale is ongoing. Investors participating in the Mutuum Finance Phase 5 presale will enjoy a 100% return on investment when it goes live at $0.06. Those asking what’s the best crypto to buy in 2025 may find their answer sooner than expected, Mutuum Finance could be that breakout coin sitting quietly before its run. XRP Navigates Post-Ceasefire Momentum Near $2.18 XRP is valued at approximately $2.18 and is part of a stabilization process after the robust rally upward to higher than $2. Telling signs of increased open interest and short-liquidations after a derivative provide evidence of renewed bullish interest, although technicals appear to be mixed with moving average converging. Institutional flows have remained an important factor in sustaining this level as XRP still remains consolidated under long-term resistance at $2.50. All in all it seems that XRP is in a conservative holding position, and can rally with high volume and sentiment remaining stable. In the meantime, new altcoin games such as Mutuum Finance (MUTM) are starting to be introduced to radar screens. Game-Changer: Mutuum Finance Disrupts DeFi Lending Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is revolutionizing as a new generation lending platform where users retain full ownership of their assets and passively diversify to optimize the earning potential using a flexible safe system. The system is an effective dual-lending system that combines the Peer-to-Contract (P2C) and Peer-to-Peer (P2P) models. The P2C model uses a smart contract to control lending pools whose interest rates are floating. The system is made responsive to real-time market conditions, a factor that makes returns to lenders more certain and borrowers financially sound. In the meantime, there are also the P2P model which completely excludes middlemen and allows the user to agree on terms among themselves. This direct lending is particularly helpful with less stable assets such as meme coins since flexibility and control take priority there. Phase 5 of the Mutuum Finance Presale Is Underway, $11.2 Million Raised Mutuum Finance’s (MUTM) presale became a record by raising over $11.2 million, attracting over 12500 token holders. It is currently on Phase 5 investor confidence continues to grow as the platform distinguishes itself from short-term meme coins. Stablecoin Launch and $50K Bug Bounty Strengthen Mutuum Ecosystem In another step toward expanding its ecosystem, Mutuum Finance is preparing to launch a fully collateralized USD-pegged stablecoin on the Ethereum network. Unlike algorithmic stablecoins that often struggle with price stability, Mutuum’s stablecoin will be backed by real assets, offering dependable value in volatile market conditions. To underscore its focus on safety and trust, Mutuum Finance has completed a full security audit with CertiK. In addition it has launched a $50,000 USDT Bug Bounty Program in partnership with CertiK. The bounty spans four tiers: critical, major, minor, and low, ensuring that vulnerabilities at every level are identified and rewarded. Mutuum Finance (MUTM) is quickly emerging as a top under-$3 altcoin to watch. Now in Phase 5 of its presale at $0.03, the project has raised $11.2 million from 12,500+ investors. A 100% ROI awaits early buyers at launch. Backed by a CertiK audit, a $50K bug bounty, and a USD-pegged stablecoin, MUTM is built for long-term DeFi impact. Join the presale now before the price rises. For more information about Mutuum Finance (MUTM) visit the links below: Website: https://mutuum.com/ Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mutuumfinance
In Friday’s White House press conference, Donald Trump yet again declared his support for Bitcoin, calling it ‘amazing’ and pointing out its growing use in the economy. It has become amazing. I mean, it is the jobs that it produces, and I notice more and more you pay in Bitcoin. People are saying it takes a lot of pressure off the dollar, and it is a great thing for our country. – Donald Trump in latest White House speech In this article, we’ll quickly touch upon Trump’s latest pro-crypto comments, how they could spark another altcoin rally, and what the best crypto to buy is if you wish to capitalize on the momentum before the next leg up. Trump Says Bitcoin is Relieving Dollar Strain Easily the most notable piece of Trump’s speech was his claim that Bitcoin is relieving pressure off the US dollar. This is ‘ a much more significant statement than what it seems at first glance ,’ says digital asset researcher Anders. According to Anders, Trump’s comment suggests he understands the ‘Triffin dilemma,’ which is a long-standing economic paradox, and that he’s probably keen on using crypto to solve it. The Triffin dilemma is the term used to describe the conflict faced by the country (in this case, the USA) whose currency (the US dollar) serves as the world’s reserve currency. The ‘dilemma’ is that while the US dollar becomes stronger by boosting its global demand, this very strength then widens the country’s trade deficit. A stronger dollar makes imports cheaper and exports become more expensive. Using a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin – or XRP, which is a more ‘US-made’ crypto than $BTC – could help ease pressure on USD. If investments flow in the form of $BTC rather than $USD, it would reduce demand for the dollar, weakening it and, therefore, correcting the trade deficit. All in all, Trump’s renewed endorsement adds momentum to the crypto narrative. It positions Bitcoin (and potentially other tokens) as a genuinely strategic financial tool. With that in mind, here are a few cryptos that could benefit from Bitcoin’s latest tap on the shoulder. 1. BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) – Best Crypto to Buy Now, Offering Free $BTC Airdrops BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is one of the best cryptos to invest in right now because, first and foremost, it’s the ONLY one offering free $BTC to its token holders. Buy $BTCBULL and store it in Best Wallet , and whenever Bitcoin crosses $150K and $200K for the first time, you’ll automatically receive your share of free $BTC. Additionally, holding BTC Bull Token will also beef up your crypto portfolio. That’s because the token is predicted to surge 277% and reach $0.0096 by 2026 . One $BTCBULL is currently priced at just $0.00258, and the project has in total raised over $7.6M (and counting) in early investor funding. Another reason for this new crypto’s potential bright future is its token burn mechanism. Simply put, the developers will shave off a part of the total token supply with rising Bitcoin prices. This will create artificial scarcity and upward price pressure, especially during Bitcoin bull runs. It’s a clever way of aligning the token’s growth with Bitcoin’s momentum. 2. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Putting the Bitcoin Blockchain on Steroids Bitcoin is undoubtedly the OG crypto and blockchain, but it wasn’t really built with Web3 adoption in mind. It only processes seven transactions per second, as opposed to Solana’s 2K-3K TPS. Enter Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) . This new meme coin on presale aims to build the first-ever Layer 2 on Bitcoin that will directly tackle the problems of scalability and programmability on the network. By leveraging a Canonical Bridge and integrating the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), it will convert your $BTC from a traditional L1 asset into a high-speed, scalable L2 asset. You’ll be able to use this ‘wrapped’ Bitcoin on L2 for lightning-fast payments and swaps, as well as lending and staking on DeFi apps, NFT platforms, and gaming dApps. Also, according to our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction, the token could be the next crypto to explode . It could reach $0.253 by 2030 – a nearly 2,000% gain from current prices . $HYPER is currently in presale, which is why you can buy it for a low price of $0.012075. Even though the presale is fresh out of the oven, it has amassed a chunky $1.7M so far. Here’s how to buy it . 3. Useless Coin ($USELESS) – Viral New Meme Coin with No Intrinsic Value or Utility Useless Coin ($USELESS) is the newest and perhaps the perfect epitome of what meme coins truly stand for: community-driven degen fun without any real utility or intrinsic value. With no staking, governance mechanisms, or revenue generation outside liquidity fees, $USELESS is almost a satirical take on all the other so-called utility tokens flooding the market right now. It launched just over a couple of weeks ago and has already gained over 92%. Currently trading at $0.1665 , $USELESS is hitting new all-time highs as we speak, so this might be a good time to get in. Wrapping Up With Donald Trump’s latest remarks on Bitcoin signaling renewed support for the crypto world, high-potential newcomers like BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) and Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) can surge big time. That said, keep in mind that investments in crypto are highly risky. This article isn’t financial advice, so only invest after doing your own research.
Binance’s Influence Under the Spotlight in Kenya’s New Crypto Bill Kenya’s proposed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASP) Bill is facing withering criticism from Kenyan crypto startups , who contend that it would place excessive power in the hands of a Binance-affiliated lobby association, the Virtual Asset Chamber of Commerce (VAC). The bill mandates a regulatory board that should oversee the country’s digital asset market. However, news that VAC, a reportedly Binance-connected think tank will be helping out with the nomination of members to the board has ignited gripes of bias and unfair competition. Binance Apparently Funds VAC Activities The Kenyan Wall Street wrote that Binance remunerates VAC $6,000 a month for each nation for policy advocacy. The critics argue that the payment would be eroding the independence of VAC and would be an instance of conflict of interest, especially with its new role in defining the regulatory landscape of Kenya. “VAC, non-competing with Binance private entity, now receives a seat at the table? This undermines fair regulation,” opined an unnamed stakeholder. Regional Influence and FATF Greylisting Concerns Critics also cited VAC’s past lobbying in Rwanda, sparking warnings of a trend. Others point out that if VAC becomes influential in shaping Kenya’s crypto policy, it will struggle to exit the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and EU grey lists. “If our regulator is conflicted in this manner, we can put ourselves at global reputational risk,” said another industry source. VAC Defends Its Role Amid Scrutiny VAC director Basil Ogolla rushed to the group’s defense in reply, citing its two-year engagement with institutions like the IMF, Central Bank of Kenya, and Parliament. “The trust placed in the National Assembly is a consequence of VAC’s active role in developing well-rounded crypto regulation,” stated Ogolla. Binance’s Global Government Outreach Expands Kenya is not alone in that, though. Binance is also increasing its policy footprint in other countries. In May, the exchange inked an MoU with the Kyrgyzstan investment agency to promote blockchain infrastructure. Earlier this April, Binance CEO Richard Teng reaffirmed ongoing consultations with governments regarding crypto reserves, while former CEO Changpeng Zhao was appointed adviser to Pakistan’s new Crypto Council. Outlook: Calls for Balanced Oversight As the VASP Bill advances, crypto stakeholders in Kenya are demanding checks and balances in regulator appointments. Ensuring no single organisation — especially one with powerful corporate clout — gets to monopolise the process is crucial to encouraging fair, open, and competitive crypto regulation in Kenya.

A recent analysis by Steph (@Steph_iscrypto), a well-known market analyst on X, has reignited the conversation around XRP’s long-term trajectory. In a chart comparing current price action with the 2017 cycle, Steph highlights an apparent structural similarity that could mark the beginning of XRP’s next major breakout phase. The chart presents two distinct consolidation patterns. The first, visible in the 2014–2017 period, ended with a breakout that led to XRP’s all-time high in early 2018. The second, forming over several years since 2018, shows a similar symmetrical triangle pattern now approaching resolution. According to his post, the digital asset may be on the verge of replicating its historical surge, potentially setting a course toward significantly higher price levels. The breakout illustrated on the chart shows a sharp upward trend, projected to start in 2025. Steph suggests that the asset could surpass $30. #XRP will teleport to $30+! You're not bullish enough. pic.twitter.com/V8GqwTxvG2 — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) June 28, 2025 Technical Setup for XRP Rally to $30 Steph recently showed how XRP has turned a historical resistance level into support on the monthly chart. This resilience supports his bullish expectations for the digital asset. He also supported the recent chart with a targeted liquidity analysis. He linked to an Instagram video where he noted that “XRP’s price liquidated a lot of positions below $2.” We are on X, follow us to connect with us :- @TimesTabloid1 — TimesTabloid (@TimesTabloid1) June 15, 2025 XRP is currently trading at $2.18, and he identified the next key liquidity cluster at $2.35, implying that this threshold is likely to be tested next. The statement aligns with the marked circle on the chart, which corresponds to a projected breakout from the upper boundary of a long-term wedge. This liquidity-based interpretation adds technical validation to the chart’s visual narrative. With the price appearing to compress within a narrowing range and historical behavior showing explosive reactions to similar setups, the implication is that XRP may be positioned for a sharp move. Steph’s overlay of this breakout with a projection above $30 suggests confidence in a substantial upward continuation once resistance at $2.35 is breached . XRP Historical Echoes and Price Projection The overlay from 2017 is more than just a visual reference. In that earlier cycle, XRP surged rapidly once it broke free from a multi-year consolidation. Steph’s chart draws a direct parallel, placing XRP at a similar point in its cycle in 2025. The breakout shown is aggressive, and XRP began this process when it rose from $0.55 to $3.39 between November 2024 and January 2025. Many analysts have shared overwhelmingly bullish predictions for XRP, and Steph’s analysis, which is based on recognizable historical behavior and technical analysis, could serve as a blueprint for XRP’s immediate future.

On-chain activity tied to AI has jumped by 86% since the beginning of 2025, and now records about 4.5 million daily unique active wallets. This increase has pushed AI’s market share up to 19%, almost matching gaming’s 20% dominance. It marks a notable transformation from the start of the year, when AI accounted for only 9% of market activity within the sector. The momentum in media coverage and funding rounds remains strong. Investors Bet Big on AI Agents According to the latest report by DappRadar, AI agent projects have secured $1.39 billion in funding so far in 2025. This figure represents a 9.4% increase from the previous year. Such a surge reflects rising investor confidence that autonomous, on-chain agents are evolving from experimental concepts to a foundational element of Web3. Although this figure still lags behind the capital raised by centralized AI firms like OpenAI and Anthropic, the funding momentum places AI agents ahead of or on par with major Web3 sectors such as blockchain gaming. DappRadar said that if this pace continues, “2025 could be the first year AI agents attract more capital than any other Web3 vertical.” The report added: “The rise of AI agents signals a deeper shift in how we interact with decentralized systems. From DeFi traders and social companions to game-native assistants, agents are quickly becoming more than experimental bots, they’re evolving into infrastructure.” Meanwhile, the AI agent tokens have also shown impressive market traction. Data suggests that its current total valuation has reached $5.9 billion, which accounts for 0.18% of the overall crypto ecosystem. Trading volume is not far behind, exceeding $1.4 billion in the last 24 hours, which is a clear sign of rising activity and interest in AI agent-based tokens. Global AI Dapp Usage Patterns Between January and June 2025, AI dapp usage has been most prominent in Europe and has contributed more than 26% of total sessions. Asia follows with 21.9%, and North America accounts for 15.8%. South America makes up just 2.5% but is showing early signs of growth. Interestingly, 33% of user sessions fall into an “Other” category, which includes traffic from anonymous sources, VPN users, and less commonly tracked regions. This essentially indicates that AI dapp adoption is spreading across diverse and often unclassified parts of the world.
