Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme

Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme

The post Breaking: FLOKI Price Rockets as Elon Musk Posts X Meme appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Insights: FLOKI price rockets more than 15% today, sparking optimism among traders. The surge comes as Tesla CEO Elon Musk mentioned the meme coin in a X post. Musk is well known for moving meme coins like SHIB, DOGE, and others, through his social media posts. When Elon Musk posts a meme, markets still move. On Monday, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO fired up X with another of his trademark crypto-laced jokes. He declared, “Floki is back on the job as X CEO,” and the FLOKI price responded, fueling a surge in the Floki token’s trading volume. Within minutes, the post had racked up millions of views. Traders took it as the green light for another Musk-fueled meme mania. The FLOKI price spiked more than 15% following the post. Elon Musk and the Meme Magic Lives On Elon Musk’s relationship with memecoins goes back years. In 2021, he posted a picture of his Shiba Inu puppy, simply captioned “Floki has arrived,” sending an obscure token named after his dog soaring by over 1,000% in two days. This was no isolated event. Tweets like “Dogecoin is the people’s crypto” and “Baby Doge, doo, doo” have historically sparked record surges in Dogecoin and other meme tokens. The latest Floki post harks back to those meme-filled heydays. When a single emoji from Elon Musk could swing billions in the crypto market cap. While his influence had seemed to wane through 2024 as traders grew more cynical, Monday’s reaction suggests the market still has a soft spot for his mix of humor, chaos, and capitalism. Floki Price: From Meme to Movement For those new to the saga, Floki began as a memecoin inspired by Musk’s actual dog but evolved into something more enduring. Powered by a community that calls itself the “Floki Vikings,”…

Amazon AWS outage knocks Coinbase mobile app offline, Robinhood also affected

Coinbase and Robinhood were among several major platforms affected by an Amazon Web Services (AWS) data center outage on Monday, underscoring the risks of relying on centralized cloud providers for critical financial infrastructure.Coinbase, the third-largest centralized cryptocurrency exchange (CEX) by trading volume, was hit by an AWS data center outage, which reported “increased error rates and latencies” for multiple AWS Services in the Northern Virginia region.“We can confirm global services and features that rely on US-EAST-1 have also recovered. We continue to work towards full resolution and will provide updates as we have more information to share,” wrote AWS in a Monday update, about three hours after the outage was first reported.Read more

Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over

Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over

The post Why October’s Pain May Not Be Over appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The crypto market has been turbulent in October, with altcoin market capitalization dropping another 15%, and the month isn’t even over yet. Could this downturn worsen before October ends? Recent data and analyses reveal clues investors can use to assess risks and opportunities during this sensitive period. Sponsored Over 70,000 Altcoin Inflow Transactions Could Deepen the Decline The decline is not just a result of short-term volatility. It also reflects rising sell pressure and weakening demand from investors. One of the clearest signals is the sharp increase in the number of altcoins sent to exchanges, which reached its highest level this year. Data from CryptoQuant shows that the 7-day average of altcoin inflow transactions has surpassed 70,000. Earlier in 2025, similar spikes in inflow activity coincided with major price drops in Bitcoin and altcoins. Altcoin Exchange Inflow. Source: CryptoQuant. “Transactions sending alts to exchanges just hit a new YTD high, signaling rising sell pressure — or traders gearing up for the next big rotation,” Coin Bureau noted. A rising volume of altcoins moving to exchanges might indicate redistribution rather than immediate price declines. However, stablecoin data helps complete the picture of market sentiment. Sponsored Weakening Stablecoin Inflows Signal Diminished Buying Power CryptoQuant’s Stablecoin CEX Flow data shows that while netflow remains positive, it has dropped sharply since mid-September and is now approaching zero in October. Fewer stablecoins moving to exchanges suggest a decline in potential buying power. Combined with the surge in altcoin supply on exchanges, this imbalance could amplify downside pressure.

Sponsored The USDT.D index, which tracks Tether’s dominance in total market capitalization, supports this argument. It has risen above 5%, indicating that stablecoins are not being deployed to increase…

Bitcoin falls below $110,000, will the market turn bearish?

Bitcoin falls below $110,000, will the market turn bearish?

Written by: 1912212.eth, Foresight News After the October 11th crash, widespread market concerns about a potential second dip surfaced, and just days later, another plunge struck. Bitcoin, which rebounded from $116,000 on October 17th, experienced four consecutive daily declines. At around 4:00 PM today, it dipped to around $104,500, within striking distance of the October 11th crash low of $102,000. Ether (ETH) was also not immune, plummeting to $3,706, and Sol (SOL) to around $175. A host of altcoins saw widespread declines. Coinglass data shows that over the past 24 hours, open interest across the entire network has reached $1.189 billion, with $935 million in long positions liquidated. The largest single liquidation occurred on Hyperliquid's ETH-USD exchange, valued at $20.4274 million. Alternative data shows that the market panic index has fallen to 22, indicating extreme panic. US BTC and ETH spot ETFs both saw significant net outflows Since the crash, US BTC spot ETFs have shown significant net outflows. Between October 10 and 16, only October 14th saw a net inflow of $102.58 million, while the rest of the period saw net outflows. On October 1st, net outflows exceeded $536 million, a new low since August. The outlook for Ethereum spot ETFs is also not optimistic, with large net outflows occurring since October 9. On October 13, the net outflow exceeded $428 million, setting a new record for net outflows since September this year. The crash has left market confidence fragile DeFiance Capital, which had prospered in the previous cycle by betting on multiple DeFi projects, suffered losses in this crash. On October 14th, its founder, Arthur, posted on social media, "We're fine. The fund experienced some losses, but they weren't among our top five biggest profit and loss days. I'm just extremely angry and disappointed. This crash has set the entire crypto space back significantly, especially for the altcoin market, as most price discovery occurs on offshore CEXs." He even pessimistically believes that the crash marks the end of the encryption era. The previously popular trend of treasury DATs has also died down. Tom Lee, chairman of BitMine, the largest Ethereum holding company, said the bubble may have burst. Previously, on September 9, 2025, Nasdaq-listed QMMM Holdings announced plans to invest $100 million in a cryptocurrency reserve, leading to a 9.6-fold increase in its stock price within three weeks. At the end of September, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suspended trading of the company, effective September 29, based on allegations that the company was manipulating its stock price through social media platforms. The suspension remains in effect. Caixin visited its Hong Kong headquarters on October 16th and found the office deserted. Upon contacting staff at another nearby company, they stated that the company had relocated in September and were unaware of the relocation. Changpeng Zhao commented on this, saying, “All crypto treasury (DAT) companies should use third-party crypto custodians and have their accounts audited by investors.” Small US banks collapse as market sells first Two regional U.S. banks, Zions Bancorp and Western Alliance Bancorp, disclosed losses Thursday from fraud involving distressed commercial mortgage investment funds. While the losses were relatively small compared to other recent credit defaults, amounting to only tens of millions of dollars, the market reaction was dramatic. Germany's DAX index fell 2.13%, Britain's FTSE 100 index fell 1.6%, Nikkei 225 index fell 1.44%, Australia's S&P/ASX 200 index fell 0.81%, and all three major U.S. stock index futures fell. Panic spread quickly, dragging down the entire banking sector, with the total market value of 74 large US banks wiping out more than $100 billion in one day. This "sell now, see later" mentality quickly spread. JPMorgan analysts Anthony Elian and Michael Pietrini wrote in a report that they also questioned "why all these credit 'isolation' events seem to have occurred in such a short period of time." However, the sell-off did not spare large bank stocks, with shares of Citigroup and Bank of America both falling by more than 3%. The 2023 US banking crisis also triggered a sharp correction in the crypto market. Will the market turn bearish in the future? Chris Burniske, partner at Placeholder VC, wrote, “It increasingly feels like last Friday’s plunge has caused the crypto market to stagnate in the short term. After such a crash, it’s difficult to quickly form sustained buying. This cycle has been disappointing for most people, which may limit their actions because everyone is looking forward to a market recovery or previous historical highs. It’s easy to get caught up in the details of the chart, but if you look at the monthly charts of BTC and ETH, it shows that we are still in the high range (although there are cracks), if you are considering taking profits. MSTR is falling, gold is warning, as are credit markets, and stocks will be the last to react. We can always get a weak rebound, but I've already taken action (remember, cashing out is never all or nothing). I'll watch how BTC reacts to $100,000, but I might become interested again if it reaches $75,000 or lower. This bull market is different from the last, and the next bear market won't be either." Arete Capital partner McKenna said the market is in the process of forming a bottom, which takes 40-60 days to establish. All price action within this interval is a volatile washout. "In mid-November, we should begin to expect constructive results and a positive December and first quarter of 2026." glassnode tweeted that Bitcoin is currently in a key support range, with the price below the 200-day moving average ($107,400) and just above the 365-day moving average ($99,900). At the same time, there is also pressure from the 111-day moving average ($114,700) above it. If the 365-day moving average can be held, the trend may stabilize; if it falls below this level, there may be a risk of a deeper correction. Weiss Crypto suggests that around October 17th, the market may begin to rebound from its lows. By December of this year, the price of Bitcoin could reach a new high of nearly $135,000.

Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach

Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach

The post Astra Nova Targeted in Market Maker Account Breach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Hacked market maker account led to a huge sell-off of RVV tokens. RVV price plummets by over 69%. Community doubts arise, questioning insider involvement. Astra Nova’s third-party market maker account was breached, resulting in a substantial sell-off of RVV tokens on October 19, leading to a significant drop in RVV’s value. The incident raises concerns over security practices in the cryptocurrency sector, with implications for market trust and the stability of Astra Nova’s operations. Massive RVV Token Sell-Off Causes 69% Price Plunge Following the breach, Astra Nova’s team quickly notified exchange partners to halt further damage. They reaffirmed the security of the project’s smart contracts and infrastructure. There is a commitment to transparency as the incident is examined. On-chain data indicates approximately 890 million RVV tokens were offloaded, equivalent to around 8.6% of the total supply. This resulted in a $10.3M loss, highlighting the severe effect on token valuation. The price fell from $0.26 to approximately $0.0103. Community backlash followed, with well-known blockchain analyst EmberCN expressing skepticism over typical hacker behavior, suggesting potential insider activity. “Which hacker would convert stolen assets into USDT and hold onto them? And even transfer them directly to a CEX? USDT can be frozen, and going straight to a CEX—where are there hackers this foolish?” — EmberCN, Blockchain Analyst The company’s official statement offered a bounty for funds returned, amplifying doubts about internal involvement. Insider Speculation Intensifies in Astra Nova Breach Fallout Did you know? In crypto history, similar breaches of market maker accounts, like the Mango Markets incident, frequently lead to immediate asset liquidation and long recovery phases, mirroring Astra Nova’s current challenges. According to CoinMarketCap, Astra Nova’s RVV token fell to $0.01 with a market cap of $11.59 million. Trading volume skyrocketed 378.14% to $136.32 million, reflecting sharp investor reactions amid…

Dogecoin to Join Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana Among Cryptos Hitting New ATHs in 2025, But Not Before This Coin’s 20x Rally

Ethereum followed closely, hitting $4,900 in August, driven by renewed institutional inflows and the success of layer-2 protocols. Solana kicked off the party in January, skyrocketing to […]

The History of Crypto Prediction Markets: How Polymarket and Kalshi Emerged as Winners in a Crowded Space

The History of Crypto Prediction Markets: How Polymarket and Kalshi Emerged as Winners in a Crowded Space

The post The History of Crypto Prediction Markets: How Polymarket and Kalshi Emerged as Winners in a Crowded Space appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Polymarket and Kalshi are now considered the top crypto prediction markets, but the space was once led by other players taking very different approaches. Intercontinental Exchange’s move to invest up to $2 billion into Polymarket and Kalshi’s $300 million financing have turned a once-niche corner of crypto into a mainstream trading category. “The real prize for ICE is not just clearing contracts but monetizing the data, selling odds as sentiment factors alongside rates and credit where every rumor pays a fee,” said Michael Ashley Schulman, partner and CIO at Running Point Capital Advisors, told Reuters. But the prediction market boom is the culmination of years of technical experiments, regulatory fights, and product re-thinking, not a passing trend. Where’s Augur and Gnosis? Long before Polymarket and Kalshi arrived, the decentralized prediction market sector was already crowded with Gnosis, which at its peak in August 2020 had over $85 million in total value locked, followed by Augur with over $13 million, per data from DefiLlama. Prediction Markets TVL Augur, unveiled during the ICO era and founded in 2014 by Joey Krug, Jack Peterson, and Jeremy Gardner, went live in 2018, promising decentralized prediction markets with a native reputation token (REP) and an oracle system for reporting outcomes. Augur Interface While the idea was solid on paper, early users quickly ran into practical problems. Third-party node services were uneven, and blockchain sync issues and high Ethereum gas fees in those days slowed markets. As Alchemy, a blockchain infrastructure firm that also offered services to Augur, explained in a blog post, initially Augur launched with a “free third-party node service that was slow, unreliable, and frequently provided incorrect blockchain data,” costing the project months of recovery work. Mike Garland, head of product at Alchemy, explained to The Defiant that Augur and Gnosis “were pioneers…

Bitcoin Price Prediction: How Likely Is A Drop To $90K? Investors Hedge With RTX

Bitcoin Price Prediction: How Likely Is A Drop To $90K? Investors Hedge With RTX

The post Bitcoin Price Prediction: How Likely Is A Drop To $90K? Investors Hedge With RTX appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The latest bitcoin price prediction is tinged with nervousness. With Bitcoin currently trading around $107,000, several analysts are warning that a retest of $90,000 is more than just a remote possibility, it could be imminent. Yet even as traders brace for potential volatility forecasted by Bitcoin price prediction models, a growing number of investors are diversifying into high-upside altcoins like Remittix,  a project many see as a hedge against Bitcoin’s next major move.  Analysts are describing Remittix as the “next 100x crypto” ready for takeoff as soon as major liquidity rotates away from Bitcoin. Here’s all you need to know. Bitcoin Price Predictions: Assessing Bitcoin’s Q4 $90,000 Threat A breakdown below key support zones is setting the stage for a bloody October according to pessimistic Bitcoin price prediction models. Most analysts say if Bitcoin breaches $102,000, it could quickly fall toward the mid-$90,000 range, with $90,000 as a psychologically loaded level where institutional demand is clustered.  Conversely, Bitcoin fundamentals show that the largest cryptocurrency in the world is not in the process of losing its fire. On the contrary, it is gaining strong momentum silently and the recent BTC price move is part of a much needed correction.   In a show of just how much the big players believe in Bitcoin, El Salvador recently declared the opening of its own Bitcoin Bank, which is another significant step towards international adoption of BTC and top Bitcoin price prediction models expect this move will open new financial opportunities to both the citizens and foreign investors.  BTC-based lending, savings, and payments is expected to become easier and more accessible through the Bitcoin Bank and will turn El Salvador into a center of digital finance in Latin America. Although the price action of Bitcoin has been volatile in the short term, long-term supporters are…
