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.

The Biggest Dark Horse in AI Payments Might Be Coinbase Giving Agents a Wallet

In the AI payments race, while most focus on traditional giants like Visa or AI platforms like OpenAI, Coinbase has quietly emerged as a key player. Data from 2026 shows over 90% of on-chain Agent transactions occur on Coinbase's Base network, with 99% settled in USDC and over 97% using the x402 protocol. Coinbase's pivotal move was launching "Agentic Wallets" in February 2026—a dedicated wallet infrastructure giving AI Agents their own financial identity. Unlike Visa or Stripe, which connect Agents to existing payment rails, Coinbase provides Agents with autonomous wallets to hold assets (like stablecoins), initiate transfers, and execute transactions under predefined rules. This solves core issues for machine-to-machine payments: high credit card fees for micropayments, the need for constant human authorization, and unclear transaction attribution. Coinbase's strength lies in its closed-loop ecosystem: the Base blockchain (low-cost, high-throughput), the x402 payment protocol, Agentic Wallets, and native assets like USDC. This integrated stack, built through years of infrastructure investment, positioned Coinbase to capture early Agent payment demand as the AI economy surged. The key insight is that AI payment adoption may depend less on whose standard wins and more on whose usable infrastructure is ready first. While debates over protocols and payment rails continue, real Agent transactions are already flowing—primarily through Coinbase's ecosystem. It may not be the ultimate winner, but for now, it's the frontrunner by being prepared.

Dialogue with Bitwise CIO: Bitcoin May Be Near Bottom, Who Will Drive the Next Rally?

In a recent podcast, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan analyzed Bitcoin's current market cycle, suggesting it is near a bottom characterized by low volatility and investor indifference. He believes the next major price surge will be driven primarily by wealth management platforms, financial advisors, and family offices, who control trillions in assets and are now gaining access to Bitcoin ETFs. Hougan views Bitcoin as a long-dated, out-of-the-money call option on it becoming a global reserve asset. Its value increases with global monetary system volatility, making it a natural hedge against currency disorder. He outlined Bitcoin's adoption path: first as a global digital store of value (competing with gold), and potentially later as a check against fiat currency abuse by sovereign states. Addressing the muted price action despite institutional ETF inflows, Hougan explained that significant selling by long-term retail holders has offset buying pressure. However, he is optimistic as data shows retail selling has subsided, which, combined with continued institutional inflows, could propel prices higher. Hougan downplayed the future impact of Federal Reserve interest rates and MicroStrategy's actions on Bitcoin's price, arguing they are becoming less relevant. Instead, he pointed to runaway U.S. fiscal deficits and debt as the core long-term drivers. Finally, he discussed the transformative potential of asset tokenization, predicting all traditional assets will eventually trade 24/7 on blockchains. This will merge traditional and crypto markets, increasing efficiency but also introducing crypto-like features such as overnight volatility and easier access to leverage into traditional finance.

Dalio Warns of U.S. Bond Supply-Demand Imbalance: Gold and Bitcoin Could Become Hedge Assets in Debt Crisis

Ray Dalio warns of an unsustainable imbalance in US Treasury supply and demand, drawing parallels to the mechanisms of a "big debt cycle" described in his book. Key recent developments include Japan selling US bonds to support the yen, rising US long-term yields amid weak demand, and limited Treasury buybacks. Dalio explains that when debt service burdens become too large relative to income, and bond supply outstrips market demand, a crisis point approaches. Typically, central banks then print money to buy bonds, leading to currency devaluation and inflation. He simplifies the US government's position: with ~$5.5T in revenue, ~$7.5T in spending, a $2T deficit, and $32T in debt, annual debt service is roughly $1T in interest plus ~$10T in maturing principal needing refinancing. Without change, he estimates a potential debt crisis in roughly three years, give or take two. Dalio proposes a "3% three-part solution" to reduce the deficit to 3% of GDP through balanced spending cuts, tax increases, and naturally lower interest rates. He warns that Japan's high debt, often cited as sustainable, has led to poor bond returns and significant currency losses versus gold and the dollar. In response to questions, Dalio states that all reserve currencies eventually decline via this debt cycle mechanism. He advises investors to diversify globally, favor countries with strong finances and stable politics, underweight bonds, overweight gold, and allocate a small portion (e.g., 10-15%) to Bitcoin as hedges against government-created currency devaluation.

Mysterious "Whale" Sells $576 Million Worth of Bitcoin Amid BTC Price Approach to $80,000

An unidentified crypto "whale" sold 2,700 BTC (worth approximately $211.8 million) in a single transaction, bringing its total sales over three days to 7,700 BTC for roughly $576.6 million. This selling pressure occurs as Bitcoin trades near the $80,000 mark, having recently retreated from nearly reaching that level. While large holders often sell to realize profits during sharp rallies, on-chain data only confirms the movement of coins, not the motive. So far, these sales have had little impact on Bitcoin's upward momentum, with the asset posting double-digit gains recently and its strongest weekly increase since 2024. The rally was fueled by a U.S. Treasury Department announcement to at least double its long-term bond buyback operations starting September 9th, which lowered bond yields and pushed investors toward riskier assets like Bitcoin. This week's selling marks a reversal from a recent accumulation trend, where large holders had added about 43,000 BTC (worth ~$2.75B) over a 60-day period ending in mid-August, helping set the stage for the current price surge. As Bitcoin hovers around $80,000, traders are watching key factors: whether other major holders will follow suit and sell into strength, and if renewed institutional demand from ETFs can absorb the selling pressure. The outcome will likely determine Bitcoin's next major price move.
