Bitcoin's rising appeal over gold could shift investment strategies, potentially increasing its market influence and adoption in financial portfolios.

Across the United States, Bitcoin is gaining traction far from coastal tech hubs, driven by cultural alignment, local educators and emerging state-level legislation.
Bitcoin could climb to around $170,000 over the next 6–12 months based on its volatility-adjusted comparison to gold, according to JPMorgan.
What to Know: ➡️ Ripple announced a partnership with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini, which would introduce settlement of its $RLUSD stablecoin for fiat credit card payments. ➡️ The move could benefit $XRP in the long term, as it would boost activity and liquidity on the XRP Ledger. ➡️ It could also increase $XRP’s utility, which would allow it to rebound to $3, even break past the $3.84 it set back in 2018. ➡️ Similarly, Bitcoin could become even more valuable once the Bitcoin Hyper project unlocks untapped utility. Ripple, the company behind $XRP, is making headlines again after unveiling a high-profile partnership with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini. The collaboration will introduce $RLUSD, Ripple’s U.S. dollar–backed stablecoin, to facilitate instant fiat credit card settlements, a development that could reshape on-chain payment infrastructure. This strategic move has strengthened Ripple’s position in the payments space and could lift $XRP’s long-term value outlook, particularly as the company recently raised $500 million, bringing its total valuation to around $40B. Yet, as the market matures, investor focus is shifting from speculation to utility and ecosystem growth — the same core strengths that have fueled interest in Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER). Like Ripple, Bitcoin Hyper is positioning itself at the intersection of infrastructure, scalability, and adoption, offering investors exposure to the next phase of blockchain evolution. $XRP to Return to $3 Soon? A Lot Depends On Its Utility. Ripple announced its partnership via its X page yesterday, during the second day of the Ripple Swell 2025 conference. While $RLUSD and $XRP serve distinct purposes within Ripple’s ecosystem, the company’s partnerships with Mastercard, WebBank, and Gemini could significantly boost activity and liquidity across the XRP Ledger over time. Sustained adoption of the ledger would naturally enhance XRP’s on-chain utility, a key factor that could drive the token’s value higher. Many analysts believe that improved transactional demand could push $XRP back toward the $3 range, with further upside possible if additional XRP ETFs receive approval by 2026, potentially setting the stage for a return to $3.50 or beyond. To maintain long-term investor confidence, utility remains the defining metric. Should Ripple continue deepening integrations that expand real-world use cases, $XRP could finally challenge its long-standing all-time high of $3.84, last reached in early 2018. Bitcoin Hyper: Unlocking $BTC’s Untapped Utility with Its Canonical Bridge Speaking of utility, another crypto with even more underlying potential is Bitcoin. Yes, it’s the largest crypto by market capitalization, but it’s only effective as a store of value at the moment. This means that you can’t use your $BTC for other applications, such as staking. Making this possible isn’t simply a matter of rewriting Bitcoin’s underlying code, though. Doing so would come at the cost of its robust utility. This is where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) comes in. It’s a project that aims to develop a Layer 2 (L2) network, delivering Solana-level speeds and low transaction costs to the Bitcoin ecosystem. When it launches, settling Bitcoin transactions could take a fraction of a second rather than hours, or even days. But more importantly, Bitcoin Hyper will feature a canonical bridge. As the name suggests, it will enable you to transfer your $BTC from the main Bitcoin network to the L2. When you do this, you’ll finally be able to use your Bitcoin for various applications like staking, trading, and interacting with dApps. By unlocking Bitcoin’s untapped utility, Bitcoin Hyper could drive up $BTC’s price by leaps and bounds, similar to what $RLUSD could do for $XRP. ???? Want to learn more about the project? Be sure to check out ‘What is Bitcoin Hyper?’ Due to its promising goal, the Bitcoin Hyper presale has garnered significant attention from investors since its launch. To date, it has already raised over $26M and it only continues to grow. In fact, the presale raised a whopping $239K yesterday, thanks to these whale buys: $20.1K $10.4K $140.3K $68.4K You can participate in the project by acquiring your share of its $HYPER tokens. Right now, you can still get them for only $0.013225 each, but with yet another price increase coming soon, it’s best to act as quickly as possible. Alternatively, you can stake your tokens after purchasing them. This will allow you to earn 45% p.a. in staking rewards, but note that this can still change as more tokens are locked in the staking pool. ???? Head on to our Bitcoin Hyper buying guide to get step-by-step instructions on how to get $HYPER tokens. If you prefer to HODL, that’s certainly an option too. According to our Bitcoin Hyper price prediction, the token has the potential to reach a high of $0.08625 in 2026 if it’s able to meet the goals on its roadmap. Overall, Bitcoin Hyper has considerable potential, and other investors share this view. As it stands, it’s easily one of this year’s best crypto presales. Don’t delay—join the Bitcoin Hyper presale today. Disclaimer: Do your own research. This is not investment advice.

Crypto analyst Butterfly has provided a bullish outlook for the Dogecoin price, predicting that it could soon record a massive rally. This comes as the crypto market looks to rebound from its most recent downtrend, with DOGE well below the psychological $0.2 level. Analyst Declares The Dogecoin Price Is About To Burst In an X post, Butterfly urged DOGE holders to stay alert as the Dogecoin price could “burst” from its current price level. This came as the analyst noted that the foremost meme coin is facing the lower boundary of the symmetrical triangle on the 3-day chart. Butterfly added that this zone remains a strong floor for price action and that bullish pressure is mounting fast. Related Reading: Here’s What Happens To The Dogecoin Price After The Consolidation Phase Ends The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the Dogecoin price could bounce off the $0.165 support level and rally to as high as $0.48. Notably, that price level marked a local high for DOGE last year when it rallied from a similar range as its current price level. Meanwhile, the meme coin is expected to hit this price level by year-end or the beginning of next year. This Dogecoin price prediction comes as the crypto market rebounds from the recent crash, which caused Bitcoin to drop below $100,000, dragging DOGE and other altcoins down. With BTC back above $100,000, the foremost meme coin will look to reclaim the psychological $0.2 level, which could spark a larger rebound. Crypto analyst Ali Martinez also indicated that the bottom was in for the Dogecoin price following the recent crypto market crash. In an X post, he revealed that the TD Sequential indicator has flashed a buy signal on DOGE, suggesting the local bottom might be in. DOGE’s Bull Run Could Start Soon Crypto analyst Chandler indicated that DOGE’s bull run could soon begin. He noted that the biggest bull runs were usually preceded by the TOTAL3/Total rallying to the upside. Then a sharp drop occurs and a clean V-shaped recovery, which is when the Dogecoin price usually peaks. The analyst then revealed that TOTAL3/TOTAL appears to be resuming an uptrend, suggesting the meme coin could soon rally. Related Reading: Dogecoin Volume Spike To $2 Billion Might Be Bearish, Here’s Why Crypto analyst Ether also assured that the bull structure remains intact for Dogecoin’s price despite the recent pullbacks. He noted that every Dogecoin cycle has looked chaotic up close and perfectly structured from a distance. He then asserted that the pattern remains intact. Notably, the analyst had previously predicted that the Dogecoin price would rally to the psychological $1 level, which would mark a new all-time high for the meme coin. At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.16, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Image, chart from Tradingview.com

Bitcoin (BTC) is hovering around a precarious stage below the $100,000 psychological level as supply in profit just crashed to a new 2025 low. Amid this decline, Glassnode analysts Chris Beamish, Antoine Colpaert, and CryptoVizArt highlight a complex interplay of structural weakness, cautious investor behavior, and decreased institutional demand. Bitcoin also remains oversold; however, it has yet to enter full capitulation. This suggests that price is fragile but not broken, balancing between recovery and the risk of a deeper decline. Bitcoin Supply In Profit Crash Signals Weak Demand And Price Bitcoin’s supply in profit has fallen sharply, hitting its lowest level of 2025 and reflecting the broader slowdown in market momentum. Glassnode analysts note that this decline indicates fading demand and persistent sell pressure as the BTC price consolidates near $100,000, after falling 21% from its all-time high above $126,000. Related Reading: Pundit Highlights Major Move For XRP And RLUSD, Will Price Follow? According to the report, roughly 71% of Bitcoin’s supply remains in profit, near the lower edge of the typical 70% – 90% range seen in mid-cycle slowdowns. This drop marks the lowest probability level of the year, suggesting that BTC’s price stability and recovery may depend on whether fresh demand can return to the market in the coming weeks. The analysis also disclosed that Bitcoin has broken below the Short-Term Holder’s cost basis of roughly $112,500, and is now struggling to recover, confirming that its earlier bullish phase has ended. They say that the market has been unable to regain a solid footing since the October 10 flash crash and reset, with prices hovering just above the Active Investor’s Realized Price at $88,500. Additionally, on-chain data shows that long-term holders are contributing to the bearish pressure. Since July, Bitcoin’s total supply has decreased from 14.7 million BTC to 14.4 million BTC, representing a net reduction of approximately 300,000 coins. Glassnode analysts estimate that around 2.4 million BTC have been spent during this period, which is roughly 12% of its circulating supply. Unlike earlier in the market cycle, these long-term holders are now selling into weakness rather than strength, signaling fatigue and reduced sentiment, likely due to the consistent market declines. While the Relative Unrealized Loss remains moderate at 3.1%, Glassnode analysts highlight that the combination of declining profitability and steady long-term distribution leaves the Bitcoin price in a vulnerable position near $100,000. Related Reading: Analyst Reveals What Ripple’s Latest Launch In The US Means For The XRP Price ETF Outflows And Unsteady Derivatives Deepen Market Caution In addition to the decline in Bitcoin’s supply in profit, off-chain indicators also point to caution. Glassnode analysts note that US Spot Bitcoin ETFs have seen net outflows between $150 million and $700 million per day over the past two weeks, reversing the strong inflow streak from September and early October. This slowdown reflects a significant decline in institutional appetite, with capital rotating out of Bitcoin exposure as the price declines. Bitcoin’s Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) has also turned negative on Binance and major exchanges. In derivatives, analysts noted that the Perpetual Market Directional Premium has declined from $338 million in April to $118 million per month, indicating that traders are pulling back on risk and avoiding aggressive long positions. For now, Bitcoin remains in a delicate position, oversold but structurally intact. Glassnode experts have stated that the next key test lies at $112,000 and $113,000, where a sustained recovery would signal renewed demand, while further weakness could deepen the correction.
