Another action-packed week in the crypto market is coming to a close. While large-cap coins like bitcoin and ethereum have given a lukewarm performance with no major highs and lows, these five cryptos are glowing hot.
1. Tamadoge (TAMA)
To say Tamadoge had an eventful week would be an understatement. TAMA token was listed on MEXC Global and LBank exchanges on Wednesday, and the first collection of Ultra-rare Tamadoge Pet NFTs dropped on OpenSea on Thursday. These triggered a massive surge in demand for TAMA tokens, sending them up close to 20X from their presale price.

Crypto analysts predict that the token will reclaim its all-time high of $0.1957 in the next weeks, with more exchange listings and NFT launches lined up. There are also rumors around TAMA’s Binance listing, which could take the price further up to $0.3.

Tamadoge began its exchange listing with the OKX exchange on 27th Sep 2022, after completing a meteoric presale that hit an ambitious hard cap of $19M in a matter of weeks. The meme coin project has also built a vast following on Twitter and Telegram in a short time.
Much of its popularity during the presale stage can be attributed to the project’s vibrant play-to-earn ecosystem that features NFT, metaverse, and augmented reality integrations. However, the project has been successful in maintaining strong demand even after its public launch, thanks to a utility-packed roadmap.
The series of top-tier exchange listings and the prompt launch of the Tamadoge Pet NFT collection have further helped the project maintain consistent engagement in the community. Tamadoge is considered one of the best cryptocurrencies with lower risk-returns in 2022.

2. IMPT (IMPT)
Web3 carbon offsetting project IMPT opened its presale on 3 Oct 2022. The presale is progressing at a rapid pace, having raised $1,530,046 already.

This confirms the speculations that the first stage of the presale would not wait until 25 Nov to sell out. This is the best time to buy IMPT tokens, as the price of the green crypto would increase from $0.018 to $0.023 during the second stage. The third stage will see the price further increase to $0.028.
According to industry experts, IMPT is one of the best green cryptos of 2022. The project introduces a large Web ecosystem that simplifies carbon offsetting for brands, businesses, and individuals. At the heart of it, IMPT connects high-impact environmental projects with businesses and individuals who want to compensate for their carbon footprint.

In a first-of-its-kind approach, IMPT allows anyone to earn carbon credits via shopping. Interestingly, it converts carbon credits into NFTs, thus mitigating double counting and scams that run rampant in the carbon market. IMPT’s pioneering vision has already secured high-profile partnerships and non-crypto traction for the project.
3. Elrond (EGLD)
Elrond is the next project that you should consider adding to your watch list this week. The project has gained 13.91% value in the last 7 days. The token price is $55.66 at the time of writing, with a 24-h trading volume of $62,743,968.

Elrond is a creative blockchain protocol that features impressive transaction speeds and low transaction costs by making use of sharding. The growing adoption of Elrond has largely built the buying demand.
4. Maker (MKR)
MakerDAO’s decision to invest $500M in US government bonds has resonated with the audience, as revealed by MKR’s 11.53% leap in the last seven days. The token’s price stands tall at $853.65 at the time of writing.

POLY's Appearance Hints Are Getting Denser, How Far Away Is the Polymarket Airdrop?

**POLY Debut Hints Grow More Frequent: How Far is the Polymarket Airdrop?** Recent continuous hints from Polymarket team members regarding the POLY token have sparked widespread analysis within airdrop communities about its launch timeline and potential scale. According to predict.fun data, the probability of "Polymarket launching its official token before year-end 2025" currently stands at 56%. Hints about POLY began in October 2024. CEO Shayne Coplan's social media post mentioning $POLY alongside major cryptocurrencies first fueled speculation. This was followed by Growth Lead William LeGate discussing "prospective airdrop farmers," and CMO Matthew Modabber explicitly confirming that "Polymarket will have a token, and there will be an airdrop." The momentum continued into 2025. In April, major crypto data platforms CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap created placeholder pages for POLY, further solidifying expectations. May saw discussions shift towards token utility and airdrop criteria. A team member's "Soon" reply to a question about staking POLY for fee reductions, and a leaked internal screenshot showing an "Airdrop" tab, significantly increased anticipation. LeGate also outlined potential airdrop qualifiers, mentioning badges for employees, high-volume/high-profit traders, and ecosystem builders. He suggested that linking a Polymarket account to X (Twitter), sharing trades and market insights, and actively engaging with the community might constitute part of the eligibility criteria, leading to a surge in related social media activity. Despite the growing hype, the article's author expresses a personal view that Polymarket might prioritize platform stability and infrastructure upgrades—especially with the upcoming World Cup—over an immediate token launch, opting for a post-event release. Their current strategy involves hedging positions across prediction markets, actively trading on Polymarket, and engaging on social media to potentially qualify for a future airdrop.

Chat with the Godfather of Crypto: $60k Bitcoin is Definitely Not the Bottom, the Real 'Capitulation Moment' is in October

**Summary: Interview with "Crypto Godfather" Michael Terpin on Bitcoin Outlook** Michael Terpin, founder of Transform Ventures and author of "Bitcoin Supercycle," discusses his market views in a podcast. He argues that Bitcoin's price around $60K is likely not the cycle bottom, with odds favoring a further decline to the $48K–$57K range, potentially bottoming in October. Key points include: * **Saylor & STRC:** He clarifies Michael Saylor's recent statement about potentially selling Bitcoin to pay dividends is driven by STRC's retail/ hybrid structure requiring an "escape valve," not a strategic shift. Saylor's large-scale OTC purchases create a floor for Bitcoin's price. * **October Bottom Thesis:** Terpin cites historical patterns (e.g., ~1-year bear markets, Coin Days Destroyed indicator, 23/35-month cycles) pointing to an October bottom. Current selling pressure is largely from leveraged retail liquidations, not whales. * **Cycle Dynamics:** He notes diminishing returns per cycle (e.g., 3000x, 100x, 30x, ~8x) and converging drawdowns. The long-term $1M Bitcoin target by 2033 remains. * **Risks & Narratives:** The real near-term "FTX moment" risk is an advanced AI model attacking a major Ethereum smart contract (e.g., Lido), not quantum computing breaking Bitcoin soon. AI tokens are expected to outperform Bitcoin in the next three years, with profits potentially flowing back into BTC. * **Market Mechanics:** He comments on reported systematic selling by firms like Jane Street and how Wall Street tactics (OTC buying, public market shorting) now influence Bitcoin. * **Supercycle & Design:** Terpin believes Satoshi intentionally aligned Bitcoin's 4-year halving cycle with US election years, influencing global liquidity cycles. He discusses Bitcoin's role in a potential new commodity supercycle driven by currency debasement.
