Crypto analyst Hal has revealed how investors can make up to $1 million by investing in Litecoin. This comes as another analyst has predicted that LTC could soon break out of its current consolidation phase to reach a four-figure price target. How Litecoin Can Turn A $3,700 Investment Into $1 Million In an X post, Hal stated that investors can make $1 million from about $3,700 if they bid the low $30 range on Litecoin and sell when the altcoin reaches $9,000. The analyst is confident that the LTC price can still drop to around this level, providing investors another opportunity to take this investment advice. Related Reading: Signal That Sparked 100% Litecoin Rally In 2017 Has Been Triggered Again He noted that Litecoin never saw the 5th wave down in the Wave C corrective move, which he claimed means the altcoin is still going to drop below $41. Hal’s accompanying chart also showed that LTC could still drop to as low as $30 before its next parabolic rally to the upside. The analyst remarked that the altcoin could fall below the projected $30 range, but that it looks unlikely. Meanwhile, Hal declared that Litecoin is the “clearest and most confident” 250x to 300x play he sees in the market. He added that he has been waiting a long time for this last drop to $30 and that it is coming soon. He urged investors not to miss it, seeing as he projects that they could make millions on their LTC investment. Hal’s prediction comes amid the launch of the first spot Litecoin ETF by Canary Capital. This is expected to attract institutional inflows into the LTC ecosystem, which could be a positive for the altcoin’s price. However, the LTC hasn’t had the best of starts and is currently lagging behind the Solana and Hedera ETFs, which also just launched, in terms of inflows. Why LTC Could Easily Record This Parabolic Rally Hal noted that Litecoin has one of the longest, oldest, and largest accumulation channels in existence among altcoins against its Bitcoin pair. He revealed that the LTC/BTC chart looks similar to the DOGE/BTC chart just before the Dogecoin price broke out and did a 663x in the 2021 bull cycle. This is why the analyst is confident that LTC’s price can record a 300x gain from the next low when it reaches the top of the next altcoin run.

Meanwhile, crypto analyst CoinsKid stated that Litecoin has been in consolidation mode since the 2018 cycle top. He added that compression leads to expansion, predicting that LTC can reach $4,000 if it breaks the upper resistance just above $200. CoinsKid noted how this would put LTC just shy of Ethereum’s market cap. At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is trading at around $96, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

While Bitcoin’s price action points to a relative scarcity of spot activity, recent on-chain data reveals an increasingly dynamic atmosphere within its futures market, especially on the Binance network. Related Reading: Bitcoin October Slump: Fourth Worst On Record Since 2013, Per Fortune Analysis Binance Dominates Futures Market As Trader Sentiment Sees Structural Shift In a recent post on the CryptoQuant platform, crypto education institution XWIN Research Japan shares insights into developments in the Bitcoin futures market, with their key focus being the Binance network. According to the research institution, the world’s leading crypto exchange is maintaining its reputation after reaching its record high of $1.88 trillion in trading volume. At the same time, the trader sentiment within Bitcoin’s futures market evidently appears to be undergoing a transition, with data from the Bitcoin: Futures Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta, 90-Day) informing the supposition. For context, this metric tracks the net difference between taker buy volume and taker sell volume over 90 days, revealing if the traders in the futures market are predominantly adding to its buying pressure or contributing to its selling pressure. XWIN Research points out that as of the middle of 2025, Bitcoin’s taker buy volume dominated the futures market, as most traders accumulated positions. This period of accumulation, notes the analyst, was seen as the flagship cryptocurrency climbed above $100,000. However, from late August to the present, there has been a re-emergence of taker sell pressure, signaling the predominance of profit takers in the market. Related Reading: Ethereum Support Band Under Pressure — Can Bulls Revive Momentum From $3,700? What This Means For Price Contrary to what this structural shift might be interpreted as, the educational institution explains that the market seems instead to be becoming more mature. A typical mature market, as XWIN Research points out, is one where the market participants manage their exposure, rather than chase any or all price spikes. The reappearance of taker sell pressure therefore signifies a growing inclination among traders to protect their gains nested within the $110,000-$115,000 price range. Historically, this kind of “moderation” has often been a sign of long-term strength. Binance’s $1.88 trillion in trading volume also lends credence to this view, as it reveals the presence of solid institutional confidence in the cryptocurrency’s long-term growth. Aside from institutional backing, this trading volume also puts into perspective the width of global participation in the Bitcoin derivatives market. In the long run, the Bitcoin market could be in the early phases of a sustained and long-lasting expansion. At press time, Bitcoin is worth approximately $110,110. The premier cryptocurrency shows a slight growth of 0.40% in 24 hours. Also reflecting the online asset’s sideways movement is its net loss of 1.36% over the past seven days.

Mike Novogratz’s Galaxy Digital has moved more Bitcoin out of its wallets, stirring fresh debate about whether big players are selling or just handling client business. Related Reading: Bitcoin Drop Shaves $5 Billion From Satoshi Nakamoto’s Untouched Fortune According to on-chain trackers and posts shared by analytics firm CryptoQuant, a total of 1,531 BTC was recently transferred out of wallets linked to Galaxy. Galaxy’s Client Trades Galaxy acts as both a merchant bank and a trading desk for institutions, so large transfers don’t always mean the firm is cutting its own exposure. Reports have pointed out that Galaxy has executed major client orders before — including a notional sale of over 80,000 BTC in the past quarter — and many of those trades are handled off-exchange via OTC channels. Those facts make it hard to read short-term outflows as pure profit-taking by Novogratz’s firm. Galaxy Digital Outflow Spikes ???? Over 1,531 BTC moved out of Galaxy Digital wallets — a clear sign of rising short-term selling pressure in the market. ???? pic.twitter.com/6BdsOZFatM — Maartunn (@JA_Maartun) October 31, 2025 On-Chain Pattern Adds Detail The 1,531 BTC movement follows a string of recorded outflows. For example, trackers logged an outflow of 411 BTC on Oct. 24, suggesting this isn’t an isolated blip but part of several recent transfers tied to the firm’s wallets. Some analysts say the pattern looks like growing selling pressure. Other market watchers say the sums are consistent with client execution and rebalancing. Market Sentiment Split Sentiment indicators show a split mood. Social measures and the so-called Fear and Greed gauge have dipped into fear territory lately. Yet heads of some asset managers argue the opposite. Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley has said institutions are “rushing in,” and he points to growing institutional interest as a signal that demand is building at higher levels. Those two views sit at odds: visible outflows and rocky short-term flows on one side, and growing institutional allocation on the other. Price Context And What It Means Bitcoin has been trading just a little over $110,000 as these moves happen. That price level matters because traders watch it as a barrier for bulls. When big transfers land near key price points, they get extra attention; some see them as profit-taking, others as routine client service. Either way, the net effect on price depends on whether buyers step in to absorb the supply. Related Reading: Dogecoin Ignites — 60% Volume Boom Teases Potential Rally Signals Traders Are Watching Keep an eye on three items: ETF flows, OTC activity, and on-chain outflows from known custodians. Spot crypto ETFs have shown net withdrawals in recent weeks, which can sap demand even if big institutions are slowly buying elsewhere. If ETF outflows persist while wallets tied to major brokers keep moving coins out, price pressure may rise. But if inflows return to spot ETFs or large buyers match the OTC sales, that pressure can ease quickly. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

A discussion has surfaced within the crypto community regarding the reasoning behind XRP’s fixed supply of 100 billion tokens. For years, enthusiasts and investors have questioned why Ripple opted for such a large figure when most cryptocurrencies operate with far smaller caps. Ripple’s Chief Technology Officer, David Schwartz, recently addressed the question on the social platform X, shedding light on the considerations that guided the early design of the XRP Ledger. Technical Foundations Behind XRP’s 100 Billion Supply David Schwartz was one of the original architects behind XRP and the XRP Ledger in 2012, and as such, he possesses unmatched insight into the cryptocurrency’s tokenomics and the rationale that shaped its design. His response to the question regarding XRP’s 100 billion supply design revealed that the decision was rooted in technical precision and deliberate effort to balance the functionality of the token’s architecture. Related Reading: Evernorth Has Reached 95% Of Its XRP Treasury Target – Here Are The Numbers The first layer of reasoning behind XRP’s supply lies in its technical design. According to Schwartz, the developers of the Ledger sought a number that would provide adequate divisibility for the token. This level of divisibility allows XRP to be functional across both high-value institutional payments and smaller, everyday transactions. Equally important was the need for the total supply to fit cleanly within a 64-bit integer, a standard data type used in computing to store numerical values efficiently. This decision minimizes the risk of overflow errors or arithmetic inconsistencies in the ledger’s codebase. A supply as large as 100 billion allows the system to handle every transaction amount accurately while preserving performance and compatibility with conventional software frameworks. Usability And Design Simplicity Aside from the technical justifications, the choice of 100 billion was also made with human usability in mind. As noted by Schwartz, the third reason for XRP’s 100 billion circulating supply is that the number is easy for humans to remember. Related Reading: High Liquidity At This Level Could Send The XRP Price Surging Soon Ripple’s architects wanted a total supply that was easy to communicate, recognize, and remember. A round, memorable number like 100 billion conveys clarity to users and traders. Although XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, not every token is currently in circulation. At the time of writing, XRP has a circulating supply of 60.1 billion tokens. At the launch of the Ledger, a total supply of 100 billion XRP was pre-mined and fixed. Of this amount, approximately 55 billion XRP were placed into escrow contracts controlled by Ripple to control how many tokens enter the market over time. At the time of writing, about 35 billion XRP tokens are currently locked in escrow and waiting to be released into circulation. Each month, up to 1 billion XRP is released, and any unused portion (about 70% to 80%) is typically placed back into escrow. As part of the schedule, Ripple is going to unlock another 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.51, up by 0.9% in the past 24 hours.

Solana (SOL) is presently priced around $186, after a rather turbulent display in the past week. While the leading altcoin notably showed a significantly volatile price action, bearish sentiments reigned supreme, resulting in a net 4.37% loss. Interestingly, popular expert Ali Martinez has highlighted a critical price level for Solana investors’ attention amid the current market uncertainty. Related Reading: Bitwise CIO Calls Solana An ‘Explosive’ Two-Way Bet: Here’s Why Bitwise Chief Investment Office To Fly Or Crash? Solana Future Rests On Key Price Point In a recent X post, Martinez dives into the present Solana market structure, highlighting several potential developments tied to the $180 price level. Notably, the daily chart reveals that Solana has been strictly trading in an ascending channel since May 2025, with zero deviations recorded. Importantly, the altcoin has been moving near the lower boundary of this channel, currently around $180, which acts as a pivotal support. This price point also aligns with the 200-day simple moving average, thereby reinforcing its validity. Furthermore, on-chain data from the leading analytics platform Glassnode shows that 24.5 million SOL were purchased at this level, reflecting a high market demand that will likely prevent further price incursion upon a retest. Looking at Martinez’s analysis, a consistent price hold above $180 retains the validity of the ascending channel and presents a setup for a potential price gain to $230, with further price targets at $290. However, if an overwhelming bearish pressure pushes Solana below $180, investors can expect a further decline to around $115, while a potential crash to $50 is also feasible. Therefore, Solana’s behavior at $180 presents a possible 56% gain or 72% loss from current market prices. Related Reading: Bitcoin October Slump: Fourth Worst On Record Since 2013, Per Fortune Analysis Solana Market Overview At press time, Solana (SOL) is trading at $185, up 4.57% over the past 24 hours. Despite the daily rebound, its monthly performance remains negative, with a 14.27% decline highlighting the broader weakness seen in the last week. In a notable development, Bitwise launched the first-ever Solana Spot ETF on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) this week, marking a major milestone for altcoins. The achievement was quickly followed by Grayscale, which introduced its own Grayscale Solana Trust, further signaling growing institutional interest in Solana. This week’s events represent a significant step toward broadening institutional access to Solana and other altcoins, paving the way for deeper market participation beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to SoSoValue data, the two newly launched ETFs have already attracted strong demand, recording $154.73 million in net inflows and $439.97 million in net assets within the first three trading days. Meanwhile, several other Solana-linked ETFs are reportedly in the pipeline, including the Canary Solana ETF, VanEck Solana Trust, and CoinShares Solana ETF, all currently awaiting SEC approval.
