Bitcoin to Dethrone Gold, Predicts Binance’s CZ as Bitcoin Hyper Nears $25M

October 21, 2025 • 10:47 UTC

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao believes that the crypto captain has what it takes to flip gold’s market cap, although it might take some time.

CZ tweet about Bitcoin outperforming gold.

Currently, gold is the world’s largest asset, but that is likely to change soon, as the $BTC price soars over the coming cycles. Currently ranked eighth, $BTC has a market cap of $2.2T.

CZ’s post also serves as a reminder that the long-term crypto projection looks strong, despite brief corrections.

This is further evident from Bitcoin Hyper’s sizzling hot presale, ready to smash through $25M. The project is building a layer-2 solution for Bitcoin, bringing more speed and programmability to the network.

Could $HYPER be the next meme coin to explode?

‘Floki Is The CEO’ Pumps FLOKI Over 20% — $MAXI Eyes the Top Spot Among Best Meme Coins

October 21, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

Elon Musk reignites meme coin manis with his new viral post ‘Flōki is back on the job as 𝕏 CEO!’ His post sent $FLOKI soaring over 20% within hours, causing the token to climb from $0.00006689 to $0.00007456.

$FLOKI’s derivatives volume spiked by 663% and open interest rose by 165%, all indicating strong retail speculation surrounding the asset.

Elon Musk’s post on X about $FLOKI.

$FLOKI did not soar alone; Musk’s post helped the entire meme coin market cap to rise by 5.8% to $55.2B, once again highlighting his unmatched influence on dog-themed tokens.

FLOKI’s official X account declared it the ‘#1 trending token on CxoinGecko,’ branding itself as ‘Elon’s dog.’

With $FLOKI riding Musk’s viral wave, the newest contender in the block is quietly stealing the spotlight – Maxi Doge ($MAXI). A meme token built on a body-building trading doge that represents gym pumps, raw strength, and the grind of the bull market.

Beyond the high-octane meme appeal, the project is already building a loyal community united by its bold ‘crush the charts’ motto.

BlackRock Launches IB1T ETP on UK Markets as Bitcoin Hyper Becomes One of the Best Meme Coins

October 21, 2025 • 10:00 UTC

BlackRock just launched its iShares Bitcoin ETP (IB1T) on the London Stock Exchange with the starting price of $11.10.

As the official press release states, the goal is to expose ‘retail investors (i) with specific knowledge and/or experience of investing in similar products’ to Bitcoin and other digital assets in a regulated ecosystem.

BlackRock’s IB1T is now available in 12 registered locations, including Austria, Spain, Portugal, UK, and Germany.

The news is bullish for Bitcoin and could catalyze its Q4 run once $BTC breaks the $120K resistance point again.

When that happens, Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) may also see visible boost, although the presale is already in full bull mode.

As Bitcoin’s Layer 2, promising a faster, cheaper, and more scalable Bitcoin ecosystem, Bitcoin Hyper already raised $24.4M in presale and it targets a Q1 2026 release date if the market is favorable.

Behind HYPE's Repeated Record Highs, the 'Minions' in the Ecosystem Can't Keep Up

While HYPE, the native token of the Hyperliquid ecosystem, surges to new all-time highs above $76 and attracts significant institutional ETF inflows, a starkly different reality unfolds within its HyperEVM application layer. Multiple core DeFi protocols across lending, NFTs, stablecoins, and DEXs have announced shutdowns between May and June. The article argues HYPE functions more like an "application stock" than a traditional ecosystem token. Its value is anchored to the trading fees from Hyperliquid's core perpetual contracts platform (HyperCore), which boasts a diversified revenue stream from crypto, commodities, and indices. Approximately 97% of protocol fees fund buybacks and burns of HYPE. This means HYPE's price is largely decoupled from the health of projects built on HyperEVM. The closures of significant projects like lending protocol HypurrFi (peak TVL >$300M) and NFT marketplace Drip.Trade highlight a structural tension. Hyperliquid's minimalist philosophy offers infrastructure without official grants, liquidity support, or marketing coordination for HyperEVM projects. This forces protocols into a fiercely competitive environment from day one. Furthermore, the success of HyperCore creates a liquidity vacuum, and mechanisms like HIP-3 (allowing direct perpetual market deployment) divert user attention and capital away from application-layer projects. The stronger the core perpetual trading business becomes, the more difficult it is for peripheral "DeFi lego" projects to survive and capture value, despite the flagship token's rising price.

Conversation with Arthur Hayes: AI Has Drained Market Liquidity, BTC Will Be Below 100k by Year-End

In this June 2026 podcast interview, BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes explains his decision to sell his major crypto holdings (HYPE, NEAR, Worldcoin, Zcash). His rationale is based on a macro view linking oil prices, the Iran conflict, US politics, and an impending AI bubble burst. Hayes argues that high oil prices, driven by the ongoing war, will pressure domestic US inflation. To salvage the Republican Party's chances in the midterm elections, he believes Donald Trump may pivot to a populist, anti-AI stance—advocating for taxes and regulation—which would deflate the AI investment narrative. He sees the AI sector, particularly massive capital expenditure on data centers, as having absorbed nearly all excess market liquidity (around $1.5 trillion in debt issuance since 2025), starving other assets like Bitcoin. He highlights the upcoming SpaceX IPO at a ~$1.8 trillion valuation and 100x price-to-sales ratio as a potential tipping point. If these hyped IPOs underperform, it could shatter market confidence in AI. In such a scenario, all risk assets, including crypto, would fall together as correlations converge to 1 during a broad correction. Hayes has moved his portfolio into Treasuries and energy stocks (like ExxonMobil), predicting Bitcoin will be below $100k by year-end. He sees a potential crypto bull market only after the AI frenzy cools, liquidity stops flowing exclusively into AI, and possibly after a significant market downturn prompts new monetary stimulus.

Fed's Internal Doves Flock to Hawkish Stance, Warsh's Debut "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

U.S. Federal Reserve officials who previously advocated for rate cuts, including Governor Christopher Waller, have recently shifted their stance, with many now not ruling out the possibility of future rate hikes. This sets a challenging stage for new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's first policy meeting. Appointed by President Trump based on his dovish views, Warsh now faces a committee where the debate has pivoted from "when to cut" to "whether to hike," driven by persistent inflation above 3%, a strong labor market, and supply-side pressures from AI infrastructure demands and geopolitical tensions. Key figures illustrate the shift. Governor Waller, once concerned about employment, now says data has pushed him toward considering rate increases. Even moderate voices like Governor Lisa Cook, while expecting inflation to ease, have indicated readiness to hike if it fails to do so. Long-time hawks such as regional Fed presidents Beth Hammack, Lorie Logan, and Neel Kashkari have grown more vocal, arguing that the real policy rate is effectively falling and that action may soon be needed. The upcoming Fed meeting is expected to keep rates steady but will likely remove the "easing bias" from its statement, signaling a neutral stance between cuts and hikes. The quarterly "dot plot" is anticipated to show most officials projecting no cuts this year, with some potentially indicating hikes. Chair Warsh, a critic of the Fed's reliance on forward guidance like the dot plot, must navigate communicating this pivot using tools he has questioned, all while steering policy in a direction counter to the preferences of the president who appointed him. The consensus suggests the Fed's next move could well be a rate increase.

The Trillion-Yuan Market Cap 'Yi Zhong Tian': Who is the True Value King?

The article analyzes the three leading Chinese optical module companies, collectively nicknamed "Yi Zhong Tian": Xinyisheng, Zhongji Innolight, and TFC Optical Communication. It evaluates their "cost-performance" not by current stock price, but through three lenses: PEG ratio (growth vs. valuation), earnings quality, and premium/discount for certainty. Xinyisheng shows the most attractive PEG ratio and high profitability, but its valuation reflects discounts for risks like high customer concentration and reliance on overseas markets. Zhongji Innolight, the most expensive, commands a premium for its market leadership, dominant share in key products like 800G/1.6T modules, and higher earnings certainty, though it faces geopolitical risks. TFC Optical, as an upstream component supplier ("water seller"), has the highest gross margin and bets on the long-term CPO/NPO architecture trend, but trades at a high valuation with more stable, less explosive growth. The core argument is that while these companies dominate module assembly, the true profit pool and technological moat lie upstream in laser and switch chips, currently controlled by U.S. firms like Lumentum and Coherent. The long-term "cost-performance" for these Chinese leaders hinges on whether the domestic industry, exemplified by companies like Yuanjie Technology, can successfully move up the value chain into high-power laser chips. Otherwise, their high growth may remain confined to the lower-margin assembly segment.
