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)

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.

Bitpush Daily News Highlights: Coinbase Reports Record High Open Interest for 2025; BitMine Adds 44,463 ETH Last Week, Total Holdings Exceed 4.11 Million; Strategy Officially Purchases 225,027 Bitcoin Year-to-Date

Coinbase reports record-high open interest for 2025, with perpetual futures reaching $1 billion in June, U.S. futures hitting the same milestone in July, and derivatives options open interest surging to $60 billion in October. BitMine increased its ETH holdings by 44,463 last week, bringing its total to 4.11 million ETH—3.41% of Ethereum’s total supply. The firm also holds 193 BTC, $23 million in EightCo Holdings stock, and $1 billion in cash. Since October, it has acquired nearly 1.46 million ETH. Additionally, BitMine has staked 408,627 ETH, valued at $1.2 billion. If fully staked, its annual yield could reach $374 million, or over $1 million per day. MicroStrategy (MSTR) has purchased 225,027 Bitcoin so far this year—1.3 times the total annual Bitcoin mining output. Cantor Fitzgerald warns that Bitcoin may enter a prolonged downturn in 2026, potentially testing MicroStrategy’s average cost basis near $75,000. However, the market is more institutionally driven this cycle, with growing divergence between token prices and on-chain activity in DeFi, tokenization, and infrastructure. Regulatory clarity from U.S. legislation may encourage deeper institutional involvement. Hyperliquid Labs is set to distribute 1.2 million HYPE tokens (worth ~$31.2 million) to its team on January 6. HYPE has a max supply of 1 billion tokens, with over 61% still locked.

What Does $150 Billion in Annual Derivatives Liquidations Mean for the Market?

According to CoinGlass data, forced liquidations in the cryptocurrency derivatives market reached $150 billion in 2025. While seemingly alarming, this reflects a structural norm in a market where derivatives dominate price discovery. Liquidations act as a periodic cost of leverage, occurring against a backdrop of $85.7 trillion in annual derivatives trading volume. Record-high open interest, crowded long positions, and high leverage—particularly in altcoins—combined with a global risk-off sentiment triggered a major market reversal in October, resulting in over $19 billion in liquidations within days, mostly from long positions. The core issue lies in risk amplification mechanisms: while routine liquidations are absorbed by insurance funds, Automatic Deleveraging (ADL) mechanisms can exacerbate selling during extreme volatility, especially hurting neutral strategies and smaller assets. High exchange dominance (the top four control 62% of derivatives trading) intensified the contagion risk, as synchronized de-risking and similar liquidation logic led to concentrated sell-offs. Infrastructure strain on bridges and fiat channels further hampered arbitrage and liquidity. The $150 billion in yearly liquidations signifies not systemic chaos but the cost of risk transfer. While no default cascades occurred in 2025, the event highlighted structural vulnerabilities of exchange concentration, high leverage, and certain mechanisms—underscoring the need for more robust systems and rational trading practices to prevent future crises.

Looking Back at Prediction Markets by the End of 2025: Scale, Players, and the Watershed Moment

By the end of 2025, prediction markets have fundamentally shifted from being event-driven tools reliant on black swan events to platforms sustained by structural trading demand. The total monthly trading volume has grown from under $100 million in early 2024 to over $1 billion by late 2025, indicating a phase of explosive growth and consistent liquidity. The industry has evolved into five distinct segments: 1. **Compliant Markets**: Kalshi (CFTC-regulated, exchange-like) and Polymarket (globally liquid, later US-compliant) lead with institutional and high-frequency trading, especially in sports contracts. 2. **Crypto-Native Experiments**: Platforms like Opinion explore high-risk, crypto-policy, and speculative events, driving innovation but facing regulatory uncertainty. 3. **High-Frequency Trading Platforms**: Limitless shortens contract cycles, blurring lines between prediction markets and derivatives trading. 4. **Embedded Markets**: Myriad Markets integrates prediction features into wallets and super-apps, reducing user acquisition costs and making participation more casual. 5. **Native Information Markets**: Platforms like predict.fun and media integrations use incentives and community mechanisms to blend prediction with content and social interaction. Regulation in 2025 has not meant full liberalization but rather the establishment of boundaries—predictive contracts are recognized as financial instruments, yet state-level gambling laws remain a friction point. The core shift for users is understanding that these markets now price uncertainty and reflect consensus, not just binary outcomes. Looking ahead, prediction markets are becoming tools for understanding uncertainty rather than mere betting arenas, with projections suggesting significant future growth. 2025 marks the beginning of this structural transformation.
