A crypto analyst who nailed Bitcoin’s pre-halving correction last year believes that the final stages of the BTC bull market are underway. Pseudonymous analyst Rekt Capital tells his 546,700 followers on the social media platform X that a new Bitcoin four-year cycle has begun. The analyst says that year one of a new cycle typically sends Bitcoin to levels never seen before. “2025 will be the year of the BTC Bull Market peak. 2026 will be the year of the Bitcoin Bear Market. And 2027 will be the Bottoming Out year to precede an entirely brand new future Bull Market.” Source: Rekt Capital/X Rekt says that Bitcoin tends to print the steepest rallies of its bull market after entering a fresh four-year cycle. “It’s 2025, the year of the BTC Parabolic rally into a new Bull Market peak. This phase of the cycle only comes around once every four years. This could very well be one of the most defining years of your life, if you play it right.” Zooming in on BTC, Rekt shares a chart suggesting that BTC will initially climb to around $150,000 before witnessing another consolidation and igniting a final leg up en route to $200,000. “This Bitcoin cycle has been a story of Re-Accumulation Ranges. But also Downside Deviations from these Ranges. This will probably continue.” Source: Rekt Capital/X At time of writing, Bitcoin is trading for $103,690.

Cardano (ADA) founder Charles Hoskinson made statements that resonated in the cryptocurrency world. Claiming that technology giants are showing increasing interest in cryptocurrencies, Hoskinson said that Amazon, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia and Tesla want to integrate crypto wallets and stablecoins into their platforms to trade directly with the customer. According to Hoskinson, this vision aims to reach 3 billion customers without the need for banks or exchange systems. Hoskinson, who also made a remarkable prediction about the future of Bitcoin, said, “I predict a Bitcoin of $ 250,000, I hope I am wrong on the upside,” and argued that a strong bull market is on the way. Hoskinson, who said that they will directly intervene in the regulations in Washington, said, “I will go there personally. We will pass some bills and then the regulation will be completed.” Related News: MicroStrategy Founder Michael Saylor Explains Why Bitcoin Isn't at $150,000 Yet Hoskinson, who stated that they also play an important role in stablecoin regulations, said that the NIST recommendations in Section 12 of the GENIUS Act were submitted by Cardano.

ETH has skyrocketed since Pectra went live.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, Ethereum prices gained by 37.14% in the past week to reach a local peak of $2,600. The majority of this gain has been attributed to the recent Petra network upgrade of the Ethereum blockchain, which is designed to introduce many features, including boosting the ETH burn rate and market scarcity. Amidst Ethereum’s rally in the past week, the altcoin recorded a significant development that signals a long-term bullish market. Related Reading: Ethereum Surge Above $2,200 Says Bear Market Is Over, Analyst Calls $5,791 ‘Easy’ Target Ethereum Stays Above Realized Price – What Does It Mean? The realized price in the crypto market refers to the average acquisition price of all circulating tokens. It’s a key indicator of market sentiment as a trading price below the realized price signals a bearish market because investors are holding a loss. The reverse scenario is true for a bullish market. In the analysis provided by CryptoQuant expert Crazzyblockk, ETH is trading above its realized price at $1900 based on the market activity for accumulating addresses, i.e., long-term holders and frequent depositors on the Binance exchange. Notably, this development just occurred in the past week despite the market rebound that has been ongoing since mid-April. The price rise above $1900 proclaims a loud bullish signal as the long-term holders are now in profits, indicating a renewed confidence in ETH’s long-term value. This confidence is strongly reflected in the fact that most recent ETH outflows are moving from Binance, the most active crypto exchange for ETH trading. When Binance ETH deposit addresses show profitability with the current ETH price above the realized price, it indicates a general increase in traders’ confidence and stronger market activity. Moreover, the price rise above $1900 shows a sustained bullish momentum, indicating the market can absorb profit-taking without breaking the current uptrend. Related Reading: Bitcoin ETFs Hit $40 Billion Inflows, Setting Historic Crypto Record Binance Keeps Lead In ETH Liquidity Based on the presented analysis, Crazzyblockk further concludes that Binance boasts the most active ETH trading community in the crypto space. This is indicated by the massive ETH outflows on the exchange, suggesting a high market activity on the exchange during price appreciation. The analyst further tipped the exchange to maintain this dominance as traders will always use the most liquid exchange to manage their positions, either for accumulation or for profit taking. At the time of writing, Ethereum trades at $2,525, reflecting a 5.88% gain in the past day. Meanwhile, the asset’s trading volume is down by 18.44% and valued at $33.79 billion. ETH next’s resistance remains at $2,600 following a recent rejection in the past few hours. If the altcoin can successfully move past this barrier, a potential upswing to $2,800 lies ahead.

The ETHFI price today is trading near $1.15 after a parabolic surge from sub-$0.70 levels over the past 48 hours. This sharp vertical move marked one of the most dramatic ETHFI price spikes in recent weeks, pushing the token past several resistance zones in a single stretch. While the rally has captured significant momentum, early signs of cooling off are now emerging on both intraday and daily timeframes. ETHFI price analysis (Source: TradingView) Looking at the 4-hour chart, ETHFI has shown strong bullish candles supported by high volume, followed by a retracement from the $1.29 top. This pullback brings the price into a consolidation range between $1.12 and $1.20, as traders digest the recent gains. The Bollinger Bands are significantly expanded, with the price retracing toward the upper band support around $1.13—indicating that volatility remains elevated. What’s Driving ETHFI Price Volatility After the Surge?

McGregor Suggests Irish Bitcoin Reserve in Presidential Bid Conor McGregor, former UFC fighter and now independent presidential candidate in Ireland’s presidential election, has come up with an idea of establishing a national Bitcoin reserve. The fighter-turned-politician presented the idea on May 9 and labeled it as a way of bringing financial power back to the people of Ireland. Crypto was initially devised to give power back to the people. An Irish Bitcoin strategic reserve will give power back to the people’s money,” McGregor tweeted on X. McGregor added that more would be announced in an upcoming X Spaces session, and there was quick reaction from within the crypto industry. Crypto Leaders Take Notice McGregor’s tweet was met with immediate response from prominent Bitcoin advocates. He responded directly to Anthony Pompliano, host of The Pomp Podcast, saying, “We need the best minds for this BTC Reserve. Message me and let’s talk on my space.” David Bailey, a crypto advisor to Donald Trump, also reached out, with McGregor embracing further dialogue: “David message me, let’s talk about your ideas!” Political Challenges for a National BTC Reserve In spite of the enthusiasm of some within the industry, McGregor’s suggestion has significant hurdles to overcome. Ireland has no history of hosting digital assets in national reserves, and McGregor’s push is not supported by any prominent political party. Countries like the U.S., El Salvador, and Bhutan have already established Bitcoin reserves — albeit typically with sweeping government infrastructure and legal reform. McGregor entered the fray in March 2025, standing on anti-immigration and anti-crime tickets. The election must be held by November 11, 2025, at the latest. Past Controversies and Crypto Failures McGregor’s offer is tainted by legal troubles. He’s battling a civil sexual assault judgment and has also faced previous hate speech investigations. His cryptocurrency reputation was dented in April when the McGregor-supported “REAL” token project fell apart, raising only $392,315 in a presale — far less than its $1 million target, with full refunds being given to investors.
Binance is listing Moo Deng (MOODENG) and Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) on its pre-listing pool Alpha. It is noteworthy that both tokens are memecoins. GOAT and MOODENG were the most talked about altcoins in the past months when memecoins exploded. However, although they were listed on major cryptocurrency exchanges such as Bybit and OKX, they were not yet listed on the spot market on Binance. Related News: Analytics Company CEO Says “Bitcoin's Historical Cycle Has Not Been Broken,” Reveals Peak Price Prediction Alpha listings do not mean that the tokens are officially listed on Binance. However, users can still purchase Alpha tokens through the exchange’s app. However, it is worth remembering that these memecoins are particularly risky. *This is not investment advice.

Latin America’s crypto scene continues to evolve, with new products and regional expansions highlighting its rapid growth. Recently, Bolivia’s Minister of Economy and Public Finance, Marcelo Montenegro, announced the approval of a new decree that is intended to regulate FinTech companies and virtual asset services. On the other hand, El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have surpassed $620 million, fueled by Bitcoin’s price breaking the $100,000 mark. Bolivia regulates FinTech and digital assets Bolivia’s new initiative is intended to provide clear legal grounds for new financial services relying upon blockchain and digital assets, in light of the rapid growth of the sector situated in this country over the past twelve-month period. Backed by President Luis Arce, the effort attempts to create an environment conducive to encouraging public and private sector start-ups. According to a Bolivian official news source, the regulation provides payment, remittances, loans, tokenised assets, etc., in a secure and trustworthy environment for the fintech services in this country. The decree is also a momentous change for over 40 existing FinTechs operating in Bolivia, the majority of them being in Santa Cruz, La Paz, and Cochabamba. Currently, these firms have operated in a relatively unregulated grey area, bringing with them fears of inadequate user protections and insecure transactions. Companies must obtain proper licenses and comply with data protection and authentication standards under the new rules, which are to be finalised within 40 business days by the Financial System Supervisory Authority (ASFI). This regulation is expected to encourage national and international investor interest in the country, with Bitcoin and Ethereum usage in the country leading the way while also preparing Bolivia to take a larger part in the cryptocurrency and blockchain arena. El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings surpass $625 million El Salvador’s Bitcoin holdings have topped $620 million as the price of Bitcoin has risen above $100,000. The government currently owns 6,170.18 BTC, with recent daily purchases averaging $95,000 per coin. President Bukele remains committed to Bitcoin, with support from Economy Minister María Luisa Hayem, who sees the asset as crucial for fiscal policy and investor attraction. This week, Bukele met with Jeff Booth, a well-known venture capitalist, to develop Bitcoin ties. Despite IMF warnings, El Salvador continues to embrace digital assets, following worldwide trends set by companies such as MicroStrategy and Metaplanet. Brazil’s Paraná becomes the first state to regulate blockchain-based micro credit courses The Brazilian state of Paraná has become the first state in the country to officially regulate micro credit courses to modernise higher education and align it with labour market demands. In partnership with the State Council of Education (CEE-PR) and the Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Higher Education (SETI), the initiative will use blockchain to provide authenticity, transparency, and security to digital certificates. In the first year, the state could see as many as 175 short courses from the seven public universities, in areas including public management, IT, and business development. A R$2 million fund will assist in the development of the courses, and the remaining regulations were adapted to allow each higher education institute to define its micro credit framework. With blockchain, certificates will be immutable and can be shared easily across job platforms and academic networks, preventing fraud and accelerating employment processes. Likewise, these micro credits will count towards a degree, postgraduate, or extension programs, thereby providing a versatile and future-oriented educational model among the public institutions across the state of Paraná.
