In this article we explore five altcoins, ONDO, PYTH, IMX, ARB, and HBAR. We outline what each project is aiming to solve, the factors that may support their adoption, and where price action could be setting up on the charts. With PrimeXBT, a global crypto and CFD broker, recently expanding its Crypto Futures offering with 101 new listings, traders now have streamlined access to these and many other trending assets under industry-leading conditions.

ONDO

What it is

Ondo Finance builds institutional grade infrastructure for tokenised real-world assets, including OUSG for short-term US Treasuries and the yield-bearing USDY. The aim is to route traditional yields through crypto rails with transparent mechanics and round-the-clock settlement.

Why it has promise

The tokenisation of treasuries and other securities has strong product market fit in a world where yield and on-chain liquidity matter. Ondo has been expanding its product set and distribution, including launches that bring tokenised equities and funds closer to crypto native investors, which strengthens the broader RWA narrative for 2025.

Technical view

This is the 3-day chart for ONDO, which provides a useful midpoint between daily and weekly timeframes. It allows us to capture the broader structure without stepping all the way up to weekly or monthly candles.

The first feature to note is a large parallel channel (labelled 1) that spans the entire price history, with a dotted midline marking the channel equilibrium. This structure highlights that ONDO has remained in a higher-timeframe uptrend throughout its history.

On the right side of the chart, a wide local range (labelled 2) has been active since March. Price is currently retesting the long reload zone within this range, defined between the 0.618 and 0.786 Fibonacci retracements. This zone also aligns with the range equilibrium, creating a confluence area worth monitoring.

Having a clearly defined range provides clean confirmation and invalidation signals. A potential long setup would require confirmation above the range highs, which would also align with high-timeframe resistance levels. For measuring upside potential, one common approach is to project the height of the range. In this case, that target coincides neatly with the higher-timeframe 0.618 Fibonacci extension to the upside.

PYTH

What it is

Pyth Network is a first party oracle that publishes real time price feeds sourced directly from market makers, exchanges, and trading firms, designed as a price layer for global finance across multiple chains.

Why it has promise

High quality, low latency data is a core dependency for derivatives, perps, and structured products in DeFi. As volumes migrate to on-chain venues, demand for robust first party feeds grows, and PYTH is positioned to capture that flow through its integrations and cross chain footprint. Live market data and distribution momentum are key things to watch.

Technical view

PYTH recently experienced a surge in buying volume that pushed price above a descending trendline, signalling a market structure shift. This move carried the altcoin into a resistance area that was first established earlier this year.

Although volume has been declining since the breakout, the initial influx could indicate smart money positioning as price was accumulated on the move higher. At present, PYTH is retracing back toward the breakout area and is trading within the long reload zone, with the 0.14 level acting as support.

A recovery from current levels back to the local resistance zone near 0.24 would represent close to a 50% move to the upside, a significant increase in value even though the asset remains range bound.

IMX

What it is

Immutable is a gaming focused scaling stack for Ethereum. IMX is the native utility token across Immutable products, used for governance, rewards, and ecosystem incentives. Immutable zkEVM is an EVM compatible rollup tailored to Web3 gaming.

Why it has promise

If on-chain gaming continues to mature, the combination of purpose built tooling, a shared liquidity environment, and IMX as a utility token creates a flywheel for developer adoption and user activity. A pipeline of titles in development further supports the ecosystem’s potential.

Technical view

This is the 3-day chart of IMX, displayed on a semi-logarithmic scale, which shows price moves in percentage terms and gives a clearer view of long-term trends.

Recently, IMX broke above the 0.80 resistance level on a surge of volume. If this move can be sustained with continued buying interest, the next higher-timeframe resistance sits around 1.125. This level also coincides with a long-term descending trendline, creating an important confluence area to monitor.

ARB

What it is

Arbitrum is an Ethereum layer two scaling suite. ARB is an ERC-20 governance token for the Arbitrum DAO, which steers Arbitrum One and Nova through on-chain proposals, treasury decisions, and upgrades. ARB is not used for gas on the network.

Why it has promise

Arbitrum remains a core venue for DeFi and on chain activity. Governance control over protocol upgrades, incentives, and ecosystem funding can be a catalyst if the DAO aligns around growth initiatives. For traders, network usage, fees, and proposal flow are key fundamentals alongside price action.

Technical view

On the 3-day semi-logarithmic chart, ARB shows a primary bearish trend but is currently in a secondary phase that could turn bullish if price reclaims the area around the 50 EMA, which also aligns with the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement.

Price is trading within the local long reload zone. While the local trendline has technically been broken, there has not yet been a confirmed lower low. If price can reclaim the 0.618 area, a move of 30–40% toward the next resistance becomes possible, with the long-term descending trendline above aligning closely with the local high and first target area.

HBAR

What it is

Hedera is a public network that uses hashgraph consensus with a proof of stake model. HBAR is the native token used to pay transaction fees and to secure the network, with an enterprise governed council and a focus on speed and energy efficiency.

Why it has promise

Hedera targets real world enterprise use cases where predictable fees and throughput matter. If adoption of token services and smart contracts from established partners grows, network volumes and fee burn can trend higher, which is supportive for HBAR’s long term utility case.

Technical view

HBAR recently formed a long-term double bottom and broke above the neckline around 0.22. Price is now retesting this same area as potential support. If the level holds, it could act as a solid base for continuation. Should it fail, the long reload zone sits lower near 0.18 as the next potential demand area.

To the upside, immediate resistance is found at the local high and first target area near 0.28. A breakout above this level would open the path toward 0.34, the final resistance before a possible move into all-time high territory.

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Dan Koe's New Essay: Escaping the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive the AI Replacement Wave?

Dan Koe argues that the true threat in the AI era isn't technology itself, but a reliance on others for one's livelihood and happiness. The core problem is "wage slavery"—spending life on unfulfilling work. To survive and thrive, one must escape this by building their own enterprise. The key is developing five elements: Agency (initiative), Taste (discernment), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. These boil down to problem-solving skills and experiential knowledge, which cannot be learned passively but only through doing your own projects. The solution is to become "unemployable" by shifting your identity. This requires: 1) Radically changing your environment to force growth, 2) Choosing a medium (like content creation) that provides real feedback through trial and error, and 3) Mastering either code or, preferably, media (content). Content creation is more valuable because its subjective nature and need for human perspective create a durable advantage over generic AI output. To start, define your life's work by answering foundational questions about your innate knowledge, unique abilities, and contrarian beliefs. Then, immediately act by publishing your first piece of content. The cycle of creating, receiving feedback, and iterating is the essential path to developing the skills needed for an independent, meaningful career and financial resilience.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.
