Prominent cryptocurrency analyst Ali Martinez has suggested that if historical trends play out, Bitcoin (BTC) could potentially hit $250,000 in the coming weeks. The outlook is based on a comparison of Bitcoin’s current monthly price structure to previous bull market cycles, particularly the parabolic rallies of 2016–2017 and 2020–2021. In an X post on November 1, Martinez noted that each of those cycles followed a period of consolidation, then a strong breakout that coincided with a bullish crossover on the MACD indicator, a popular momentum gauge.

In the 2016 cycle, Bitcoin surged over 4,000%, while the 2020 rally delivered gains of nearly 1,500%. If this pattern repeats, Martinez implies Bitcoin could mirror those exponential moves, potential...

An artificial intelligence (AI)  model has issued several price forecasts for XRP after it emerged that Ripple is planning to establish a treasury for the cryptocurrency. Notably, Ripple aims to raise at least $1 billion through a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to fund the new XRP treasury, which will also be partially backed by its own holdings.  The move represents one of Ripple’s most ambitious efforts to boost XRP’s liquidity and investor confidence, though the treasury’s size may influence sentiment more than it sparks an immediate price surge.

US President Donald Trump and his family earned more than $1 billion in pre-tax profits from their cryptocurrency ventures over the past year, the Financial Times reported. That $1 billion reflects only realized profits, indicating that after gains on their crypto holdings from rising prices are factored in, the family likely earned much more, the FT’s story indicated. Most of the profits came from the DeFi platform World Liberty Financial and its USD1 stablecoin, the American Bitcoin mining firm, and sale of the TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins, the FT said. The TRUMP and MELANIA meme coins generated around $427 million in revenue, while WLFI token sales brought in about $550 million, the FT said. It added that World Liberty Financial’s USD1 stablecoin has generated $2.71 billion. When the Financial Times approached Eric Trump, one of the President’s sons, to ask whether the $1 billion calculation in pre-tax profits was correct, he said that the true figure was ...

Binance has announced a $300 million compensation plan to assist traders who suffered forced liquidations during the sharp market downturn on October 10.  The exchange said the move is part of its broader effort to restore user confidence after what it described as one of the toughest weeks for the cryptocurrency industry in recent memory. According to Binance’s official statement on October 14, the compensation will be distributed through token vouchers under a new relief campaign called the Together Initiative.
