Bitget CEO Gracy Chen expects Bitcoin to remain broadly around current levels through the end of the year despite its recent surge, citing interest rates and broader macroeconomic conditions as key factors shaping the cryptocurrency’s outlook.

Speaking on Cointelegraph’s Trade Secrets podcast, Chen said predicting whether Bitcoin (BTC) will finish the year above or below $70,000 is difficult, pointing to the possibility of higher interest rates as one factor that could pressure prices.

“If any of that happens, the price should go down, at least theoretically,” Chen said, adding that BTC has become increasingly integrated with traditional finance and sensitive to broader macroeconomic conditions.

“My guess is maybe around the same range,” Chen said, adding that BTC could finish the year $10,000 to $20,000 above or below current levels, which she described as her “more responsible” forecast.

Chen sees US Bitcoin purchases as unlikely

Chen was also skeptical that the US government will begin purchasing Bitcoin for its national reserve before the end of President Donald Trump’s term, calling such a move unlikely within the next two years.

The Trump administration established a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve in March 2025 using BTC already forfeited to the federal government, while directing officials to explore budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional BTC.

The US government currently holds an estimated 328,372 BTC, according to BitcoinTreasuries.NET, much of it accumulated through law enforcement seizures and asset forfeitures rather than direct purchases.

Super League shares (SLE) surged as much as 80% in the first hour of trading on Tuesday before shedding gains to around 50%. Metaplanet shares rose a little over 4%.

Benchmark analysts noted that the deal stands apart from the wave of shell-and-PIPE bitcoin treasury transactions over the past two years because Metaplanet is using bitcoin from its own balance sheet rather than discounted third-party capital. The share count was fixed Aug. 14, the equity was priced near Super League’s Aug. 17 close without a discount, and Metaplanet’s shares are subject to a five-year lock-up.

The bank previously disclosed in November 2025 that it planned to launch native crypto custody in 2026. In an announcement on Tuesday, Citi confirmed the service will launch later this year, starting with bitcoin, and that clients will be able to access both traditional and crypto custody within the same framework.

Citi has continued to expand its digital asset infrastructure this year. In January, the bank said it was working with Intercontinental Exchange to enable tokenized deposits across its clearinghouses, later joining a Swift pilot for 24/7 cross-border payments using tokenized deposits in July. Citi is also part of a group of major U.S. banks behind a planned tokenized deposit network through The Clearing House, targeting a launch in the first half of 2027.

Bitcoin Faces Brutal Rejection at $80K, but Bulls Remain DefiantBitcoin’s march toward the historic $80,000 milestone hit a brick wall today: immense sell pressure triggered a sharp intraday pullback.

However, despite the steep drop, market metrics and aggressive dip-buying indicate that bullish sentiment remains largely unshaken.

The $80,000 psychological barrier
Bitcoin bulls made two distinct attempts to breach the $80,000 level earlier today. The price action spiked toward the major resistance line just before 11:30 and again shortly after 12:15, only to be met with aggressive selling right below the thresholdMarket analyst James Stanley has noted that the asset "wicked right underneath the level and then snap[ped] back."

After failing to hold the $79,500 support level, the price cascaded down. Selling accelerated until Bitcoin found a local bottom just above $78,400 around 13:30, before mounting a steady recovery back above the $79,000 mark.

Impatient buyers and renewed U.S. demand
Despite the swift $1,500 intraday drop, market observers are noting highly unusual buyer behavior. Instead of waiting for deeper capitulation or better entries in the lower $70,000s, buyers are aggressively stepping in to front-run the market.

On-chain analyst Rafael (@n3ocortex), citing Glassnode data, remarked on this phenomenon. "Buyers have stopped waiting for a better price," he stated. "Haven't seen them this impatient in years." This urgency explains the rapid V-shaped recovery seen on the right side of the chart, where consecutive bullish candles quickly erased a significant portion of the morning's losses.

This buying pressure is being corroborated by changing exchange dynamics. According to market commentator Ted (@TedPillows), the Coinbase Bitcoin Premium is no longer

Solana reduced its slot time to 350 milliseconds, marking the first such reduction since the inception of the network, according to the Solana Foundation’s vice president of technology, Jacob Creech.

“We’re in a new era of 350ms. Next stop, 300ms,” Creech said in a Friday X post.

Average slot times on Solana stood at 360ms at press time, down from the network’s original 400ms target, according to the Solana slot time explorer.

In June, the Solana Foundation shared plans to reduce slot times from 400ms to 200ms, arguing that it would improve latency and accelerate confirmations on the blockchain network. Three further 50ms reductions are planned.

All four stages are targeted for mainnet activation in Agave v4.2, a validator client developed by Anza, though the schedule is tentative.

SIMD-0525, the proposal establishing the shorter slot times, was approved and merged on May 14.
