Consensys chief Joe Lubin has told reporters that MetaMask’s long-awaited native token, widely known as MASK, is “coming” and could appear sooner than many expect. Related Reading: FalconX Moves 413K Solana Worth $98M – Impact On SOL Price According to Lubin, the token will be tied to efforts to push parts of MetaMask toward greater decentralization. MetaMask Plans And Recent Moves MetaMask has not been idle while the token talk simmered. The wallet recently rolled out a native dollar stablecoin called MetaMask USD, or mUSD, which now plays across Ethereum and the Linea Layer-2 network. Reports show mUSD’s market presence has already grown, with a reported market cap of $53 million. Consensys CEO Joe Lubin says the MetaMask token is coming and may arrive ‘sooner than you would expect’ pic.twitter.com/FQXL6PbS08 — The Block (@TheBlock__) September 18, 2025 What The Token Might Do Based on reports, MASK is expected to give users more say over certain platform choices, and to reward activity inside the wallet. Lubin framed the move as part of a decentralization push that includes MetaMask, Linea and other Consensys projects. How rewards or governance will work — who gets what, or when — has not been published. What Users May See Next MetaMask’s own co-founder, Dan Finlay, has said previously that if a token is launched it would be promoted directly inside the wallet interface. That approach is meant to reduce confusion and cut down on scams that copy social posts or emails. Reports suggest the team is weighing options such as targeted rewards for active users, but no formal airdrop plan has been announced. Scale And Stakes MetaMask is used by a large audience. Based on prior reporting, the wallet serves millions of users worldwide — some outlets put that figure at over 30 million — which makes any token launch a major event for the broader crypto ecosystem.

At the same time, that reach raises questions about price swings, user safety, and how regulators will view the move. Timing And Details Remain Sparse Lubin’s comments make a launch sound imminent, but MetaMask has not released token supply numbers, vesting schedules, or precise rules for distribution. Until those details appear, users and developers will have to watch official MetaMask channels for confirmation. Based on reports, the next official word will likely come from MetaMask or Consensys itself and not from third-party posts. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Chainlink (LINK) is building momentum as bullish signals begin to align, strengthening the case for an upcoming breakout. After sweeping liquidity and testing resistance levels, the price action now suggests growing buyer confidence, indicating that LINK may be poised for its next major upward move. Impulsive Price Action Suggests Building Momentum More Crypto Online, a respected crypto analyst on X, recently provided an update on Chainlink, highlighting that the price is currently testing a critical micro-resistance level. This area is seen as a short-term hurdle for LINK, and the way the price reacts here could set the tone for its next major move. Related Reading: Chainlink Consolidates Near Resistance, Is A Bigger Rally In Sight? The analyst emphasized that the latest push higher looks impulsive, a sign that buyers are stepping in with strength. Such moves often precede larger rallies if supported by continued volume and market participation. However, despite the positive signs, caution remains as the breakout has yet to be confirmed. Importantly, a decisive break above the $25 resistance level will be the key trigger for bulls. Such a move would not only reduce the probability of the bearish “yellow scenario” but also open the door for higher price targets in the sessions ahead. Until then, LINK remains in a delicate position where the market’s response will dictate whether a stronger rally unfolds or if sellers attempt to push it back down. Chainlink Ready To Rip Higher In his analysis, Crypto Patel highlighted that Chainlink is showing signs of a bullish breakout, with price action positioning itself for a potential strong move higher. He noted that the setup is supported by several technical factors, suggesting that buyers are gaining control. Related Reading: Chainlink Eyes Fresh Upside As Oversold Bounce Sets Stage For Bullish Continuation One of the main elements driving this setup is the price respecting the Orderflow Block, serving as a confirmation of demand strength. This indicates that buyers are consistently defending this area, preventing LINK from falling lower and creating a strong foundation for an upward push. Patel also pointed out that there was a liquidity sweep just below last week’s low at $22.229, which trapped late short sellers in the market. Such a move often strengthens the bullish case, as trapped shorts are forced to cover their positions, further adding buying pressure to the market. Adding to the bullish picture, Patel emphasized a Market Structure Shift (MSS), showing a clean bullish order flow in LINK’s price action. Finally, Patel highlighted that the risk-to-reward ratio looks highly attractive, particularly with the option of placing tight stops, allowing traders to minimize downside exposure while maximizing potential gains if Chainlink confirms its breakout. Altogether, the key factors create a compelling case for LINK’s next bullish leg. Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from Tradingview.com

A pseudonymous crypto analyst, known as Borovik on X, has released a bold set of three-month predictions for some of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. Taking to the social media platform X, the analyst released a list of projected prices for Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and other top-ranking cryptocurrencies Ethereum (ETH), Binance Coin (BNB), and Solana (SOL). The predictions show a strongly bullish stance for the coming quarter, though they also keep the current market cap rankings intact among these cryptocurrencies. Very Bullish Predictions For Bitcoin, XRP, And Dogecoin Borovik’s predictions are based on an ultra-bullish outlook for the crypto market that places these cryptocurrencies at top prices before the end of the year. However, the analyst’s prediction doesn’t envision any dramatic overtake among these cryptocurrencies in market cap rankings. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $150,000, Ethereum At $8,000, And An Altcoin Season? Analyst Reveals When Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin is the centerpiece of the analyst’s outlook. According to Borovik, Bitcoin’s price could climb to $194,846.63 within the next three months. That’s an enormous jump from its current spot level around $117,000, representing more than 66% upside. Such a price would lift Bitcoin’s already commanding market capitalization well beyond its current $2.3 trillion to about $3.88 trillion and increase its dominance over the rest of the market. The forecast is equally bullish for XRP and Dogecoin. Borovik set XRP’s three-month target at $5.056 and a market cap of $302 billion. Considering XRP is currently priced around $3.04, this prediction suggests a 66% rally that would see the cryptocurrency trading at new all-time highs. Dogecoin’s target of $0.4465 is no less remarkable, although the analyst doesn’t see it breaking into new all-time highs. The meme coin king is trading around $0.275 today, so the forecast translates to an increase of about 62%. That would drive Dogecoin’s valuation well above $67 billion. Ethereum, BNB, And Solana Complete The Bullish Picture According to the analyst, Ethereum, Solana, and BNB are also expected to rise to new all-time highs before the end of the year. Particularly, the prediction places the Ethereum price at $7,537.60 within the next three months and puts its market cap bordering the trillion-dollar mark at $910 billion. However, the analyst’s projection does not suggest ETH is anywhere close to challenging Bitcoin’s dominance. Related Reading: Bitcoin, Ethereum Open Interest Are Sitting Close To ATH Levels, What Happened Last Time? BNB, which recently made a new all-time high of $1,004 on September 18, was predicted to continue its upward trajectory in the next three months to reach $1,603.05. Solana is one of the standout performers of the past year, and it isn’t surprising that the analyst gave it a three-month target of $392.98. At the time of writing, SOL is trading at $244, and so this prediction implies a gain of roughly 61%. The analyst’s forecasts show an average increase in the range of 60% to 66% for cryptocurrencies across the board before the end of the year. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
