Singapore’s High Court has given the green light to a restructuring plan for crypto exchange WazirX, clearing a major obstacle in the company’s effort to repay users after last year’s large theft. Related Reading: ‘BNB Isn’t Crumbling’: CZ Slams Critics Stirring Fear And Doubt According to reports, the court’s approval on October 13 allows the exchange to move ahead with a court-supervised recovery process tied to the $234 million hack that hit the platform in July 2024. Creditor Vote And Numbers Based on reports from the company, the revised plan won broad backing from affected account holders. In an August revote, 95.7% of participating scheme creditors voted in favor, and those votes came from 143,190 participating creditors representing about $196 million in approved claims. The strong turnout and result were used by WazirX to press its case to the Singapore court. Thank you to everyone who supported this difficult phase of WazirX. The Singapore High Court has approved the scheme. Its your support and love that has made this possible ❤️ Now we set out on the next phase to work hard and create value for everyone. We’re here because of YOU… — Nischal (Shardeum) ???? (@NischalShetty) October 13, 2025 The hack itself exploited a Safe Multisig wallet in mid-July 2024 and drained a large pool of user funds. Investigations and media accounts linked the breach to advanced cyber operators, and the theft forced WazirX to freeze both crypto and rupee withdrawals while legal options were explored. What Users Will Receive According to several outlets, users may recover a substantial portion of lost funds under the approved plan. Reports have said recoveries could reach up to 55% of the losses, delivered as a mix of immediate liquid payments and so-called Recovery Tokens that represent remaining claims to be fulfilled over time. WazirX has said the first wave of payouts — in stablecoin or USDT equivalent — would follow once the scheme takes effect. That mix means some users will get cash-equivalent payments quickly while others will hold tokens that the company intends to redeem as it regains assets or generates revenue. The plan shifts part of the repayment responsibility to entities inside India to comply with local rules, a change that was highlighted during court rounds. The road to approval was not straight. The Singapore court had earlier rejected a first version of the scheme after judges raised questions over the plan’s structure and oversight. That decision forced WazirX and its advisers to rework the proposal and secure a fresh vote from creditors before returning to court.

That window is expected to trigger the initial USDT transfers while RTs are recorded for the remainder of approved claims. The exchange will still need to finish legal formalities and coordinate with payment processors and regulators. Featured image from Pixabay, chart from TradingView

The BNB price has staged a powerful recovery, surging over 16% to trade past $1,350, outpacing Bitcoin and Ethereum as optimism builds around an imminent spot ETF approval and renewed confidence in the Binance ecosystem. Related Reading: ‘BNB Isn’t Crumbling’: CZ Slams Critics Stirring Fear And Doubt The rally comes after a sharp sell-off triggered by geopolitical tensions earlier this month, followed by an aggressive rebound fueled by whale accumulation and institutional inflows. According to CoinGlass, daily trading volume jumped 55% to $10.7 billion, while open interest rose 25%, signaling fresh leveraged positions betting on continued upside momentum. BNB’s sharp turnaround mirrors broader market stabilization but with stronger conviction.

BNB's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: BNBUSD on Tradingview CZ Attributes BNB Price Rally to Genuine Market Demand Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) weighed in on the rally, emphasizing that BNB’s recent strength comes from organic market demand, not artificial liquidity support. “BNB has no market makers,” he stated, adding that the price recovery reflects the community’s belief, builder activity, and deflationary mechanisms that continue to burn tokens. CZ also praised BNB Chain ecosystem contributors such as Venus and Binance, who “took hundreds of millions out of their own pockets to protect users” during the recent volatility, a move he described as a demonstration of “different value systems.” His comments helped solidify investor sentiment, with analysts noting that CZ’s transparency about internal market structure has reassured traders that BNB’s rally is fundamentally driven rather than speculative. The token’s deflationary model and sustained ecosystem utility continue to underpin long-term confidence. Can BNB Break $1,500 Next? From a technical standpoint, BNB’s breakout above $1,236 resistance has activated bullish momentum, with the RSI hovering near 65, showing strong but not overbought conditions. MACD crossover and robust volume spikes point to further upside potential. A close above $1,349 (the October 7 high) could propel the token toward $1,400–$1,452, with the next key psychological milestone at $1,500.

A crypto analyst has sparked fresh discussions on X social media after pointing out an eerie similarity between the current XRP price structure and its 2017 setup. Back then, the cryptocurrency experienced a sudden flash crash on Binance, dropping from $0.36 to $0.001 before soaring tens of thousands of percent to its all-time highs just weeks later. XRP Mirrors Flash Crash Setup From 2017 A new technical analysis by a crypto market expert known as ‘Guy on the Earth’ on X recalls December 2017, when XRP faced an alleged rug pull moment from Binance, which sent its price into a sharp, temporary collapse before igniting one of the most powerful bull runs in its history. His chart shows a dramatic flash crash that saw the XRP price drop more than 99% from $0.36 to $0.001 before experiencing an explosive breakout that took it to record levels above $3.00 in early 2018. Related Reading: Can XRP Replicate The BNB Price Rise To $1,300 ATH? Analyst Shows The Odds The analyst notes that this same structure appears to be forming once again on the XRP chart. The setup comes at a time when XRP faced one of its most drastic price declines in years, falling from $0.24 to $0.80 last week during a widespread market liquidation that saw almost all major cryptocurrencies in the red. Following the crash, reports from crypto members revealed that exchanges had allegedly refused retail investors from buying during the dip. Although XRP has since recovered from the severe crash, back up to $2.5 at the time of writing, the overall market sentiment remains cautious, echoing the uncertainty of late 2017 before the broader market entered its euphoric phase. Notably, the analyst acknowledged that the main difference between the current market and that of 2017 is the prevailing market sentiment following recent corrections—a disposition that could be described as post-crash fatigue. However, the XRP price chart still shows striking parallels to the earlier cycle. The analyst notes that his short-term bias is for a slight recovery, followed by another major flush, before a possible repeat of XRP’s parabolic move eight years ago. XRP Macro Outlook Still Bullish In a separate analysis, crypto market expert XForceGlobal presented a long-term outlook for XRP, showing an extended Elliott Wave count that suggests the cryptocurrency remains bullish on the macro timeframe. His chart shows that XRP had formed a multi-year consolidation triangle between 2021 and 2024. Related Reading: XRP Could Mirror 2017 Style Surge: Here’s How High The Price Will Go If It Happens According to him, XRP is following a unique pattern called the “Flat route.” XForceGlobal noted that the cryptocurrency appears to have completed its second corrected leg and is now within the confirmation stage of a renewed uptrend. He highlights that, from a timing standpoint, XRP is in a favorable position for a continuation, predicting an initial surge to $3.30, followed by a powerful breakout toward $24 in Wave 3 and a potential peak around $34 in Wave 5. Still, he cautions that any sustained drop below $0.6 could invalidate this bullish setup. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

A long-dormant Bitcoin stash moved into an exchange this week, renewing worries about old coins re-entering the market and the effect that could have on prices. Related Reading: XRP Traders Face Fresh Selling Pressure As Large Holders Move Out Mt. Gox Origins And Staggering Returns According to blockchain tracker Lookonchain, a cluster of addresses tied to coins pulled from Mt. Gox more than 13 years ago sent 300 BTC to Binance in a single transaction. Those coins were reportedly bought at about $11 each, meaning the original outlay was roughly $8,151. The transfer is now worth about $33.47 million, a mark-up of roughly 410,624%. Reports have disclosed that about 590 BTC still remain in the same group of addresses. The market crash just woke up a sleeping Bitcoin OG, who deposited 300 #BTC($33.47M) to #Binance 2 hours ago. He originally withdrew 749 $BTC($8,151 at the time) from #MtGox 13 years ago, when $BTC was just $11. He moved 159 $BTC to a new wallet a year ago but didn’t sell —… pic.twitter.com/tSxgO0Mw5E — Lookonchain (@lookonchain) October 12, 2025 Wallet Activity And What Changed Last year, the same owner moved 159 BTC into a new wallet and then left it untouched. This recent move is different because the coins arrived in an exchange hot wallet, where they can be sold quickly. Traders and market watchers noted the difference: one action kept coins on the chain, the other put them within reach of an order book. Whether the owner chooses to sell some or all of the 300 BTC is not known, but the presence of those funds on Binance makes rapid selling possible. Market Moves And Flows Bitcoin’s price recovered to about $115,000 on Monday, after dipping to $102,000 on Friday. That drop triggered billions in liquidations and left traders on edge. Based on figures, ETFs recorded $2.7 billion in inflows over the last week, and institutional demand showed resilience despite the volatility. Still, the market’s calm is fragile; a large sell order from an old holder could change short-term supply dynamics quickly. The move was flagged by on-chain analysts and then amplified across social platforms. Exchange inflows from wallets tied to early-era miners or Mt. Gox addresses tend to draw attention because they signal supply that was previously dormant coming back into circulation. In this case, the numbers are large enough to get traders’ attention. Possible Scenarios And Risks If some of the 300 BTC is sold, price pressure may increase, particularly during thin trading windows. Alternatively, the transfer could be part of estate consolidation or a decision to move funds to cold storage, in which case selling may not follow. Related Reading: A 5% Bitcoin Drop In October?

Bitcoin heads into the new week with a clean catalyst: the White House’s tariff brinkmanship with China and a market structure that just absorbed the largest crypto liquidation on record. Markets have marched through the tariff cycle almost beat-for-beat, and as of Monday we are squarely at Step 8 of The Kobeissi Letter’s template: the post-open reassurance from Treasury. The sequence since late week ties cleanly to the blueprint Kobeissi published after “10 months analyzing EVERY single tariff development,” which it summarized as an “EXACT playbook for investors.” Bitcoin Weekly Preview In their words: “1) Trump puts out cryptic post… 2) Trump announces large tariff rate (50%+) and markets crash… 4) After the market closes on Friday, President Trump doubles down… 5) On Saturday, the target… responds… 6) On Sunday… Trump posts an announcement saying he is working on a solution… 7) Futures open… higher Sunday… 8) After the Monday open, Treasury Secretary Bessent appears on live TV and reassures investors… 9–10) over the next 2–4 weeks, officials tease a deal, then announce one, and stocks hit a record high. 11) Repeat.” Related Reading: Bitcoin Apparent Demand Turns Negative — What This Means For Price The Friday crash is the fulcrum. After President Donald Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports by November 1, risk assets lurched lower into the US close, with the S&P 500 off 2.7% and the Nasdaq down 3.6% on the day; Bitcoin and the entire crypto suffered the largest single-day liquidation in its history, with roughly $19 billion in positions wiped out across venues. The trigger, size, and timing map precisely to Step 2’s “announce large tariff rate… and markets crash to shake out weak positions,” followed by Step 3’s failed bounce and fresh lows as forced selling cascaded through perps and basis. The weekend then advanced the script. Between late Friday and Saturday, the White House and Beijing traded barbs — the “double down” and counter-response embedded in Steps 4 and 5. Coverage detailed the 100%-tariff threat and China’s vow of “corresponding measures,” underscoring that the policy shock was real rather than rhetorical. On Sunday, Trump abruptly eased his tone, writing on Truth Social: “Don’t worry about China, it will all be fine! Highly respected President Xi just had a bad moment. He doesn’t want Depression for his country, and neither do I. The U.S.A. wants to help China, not hurt it!!! Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Rally Still Looks Intact, CryptoQuant Says: Here’s Why Futures duly bounced Sunday evening, consistent with Step 6’s “working on a solution” message and Step 7’s gap-higher open. “Bitcoin extends gains to +5% on the day and reclaims $115,000. Ethereum is now up +11% on the day and is 4% away from pre-liquidation levels seen on October 10th,” the analyst added via X on late Sunday. Today, the Bitcoin and financial markets will be watching the administration’s communications cadence shifting from escalation to stabilization, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent doing the media rounds to frame risks, policy intent, and the negotiation path. Notably, this is not unprecedented: Bessent has repeatedly used live TV to pour oil on troubled waters during tariff flare-ups, a pattern documented across months of interviews and official transcripts, and consistent with Kobeissi’s “after the Monday open… [Bessent] appears on live TV and reassures investors.” The point for traders is not the theatrics; it is the systematic sequence of message-induced flows that tends to follow. The bottom line for this week is to let the tariff playbook dictate the rhythm. As The Kobeissi Letter put it, 2025 is a market where “Headlines and posts are now able to move trillions of dollars of market cap in a matter of minutes,” and where “the ability to remain objective and capitalize on emotional swings in the market is alpha in 2025.” Bitcoin’s structural bull drivers didn’t vanish in Friday’s flush, but the path from here will be written by policy posts.

Dogecoin appears ready to reignite its bullish momentum as a classic chart pattern makes a comeback. The popular meme coin, often known for its dramatic price surges, is displaying technical signals that mirror previous breakout phases. With momentum quietly building, investors are wondering if Dogecoin’s next big rally is just around the corner. History Repeats: Dogecoin Flashes Familiar Pre-Rally Signals Crypto analyst EtherNasyonaL, in a recent post, highlighted that Dogecoin appears to be repeating one of its most reliable historical setups. Each of Dogecoin’s major rallies has been preceded by a familiar sequence of technical signals, persistence above the 25-day moving average (25MA), a breakout from a long-term descending trendline, and a subsequent retest phase that sets the stage for a new bullish cycle. Related Reading: Is The Dogecoin Low In? Analyst Charts Path To $0.60 According to the analyst, these structural markers have consistently acted as precursors to Dogecoin’s explosive moves. Whenever the price maintained strength above the 25MA after a prolonged downtrend, it often indicated that sellers had exhausted their momentum and buyers were quietly regaining control. This recurring pattern has served as a reliable indicator of an impending shift in market direction. Currently, the chart once again reflects the same behavior. Dogecoin’s price has moved above the 25MA, signaling renewed upward strength, while the downtrend has been decisively broken. The asset is now in the retest phase, a critical point where market confirmation typically occurs before momentum accelerates. This structural repetition suggests that Dogecoin may be preparing for its next major move. EtherNasyonaL also noted that this phase often coincides with widespread market doubt and bearish sentiment. Historically, the “NGMI” (Not Gonna Make It) feeling tends to dominate just before Dogecoin begins a parabolic rally. Such pessimism often reflects capitulation among retail traders, while larger players quietly accumulate positions in anticipation of the next breakout. If history repeats, the ongoing consolidation could mark the calm before the next significant surge, a reminder that market doubt often precedes Dogecoin’s most powerful upward moves. Bullish Pennant Emerges After Market Downturn Trader Tardigrade, in a recent 4-hour chart analysis shared on X, highlighted that Dogecoin is beginning to display a fresh bullish setup following the recent market downturn. Despite the crash, the memecoin is stabilizing and carving out a constructive structure that could signal renewed buyer interest. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Says Dogecoin Price Is ‘Parabolic Coded’ To $1, Here’s What It Means According to Trader Tardigrade, a Bullish Pennant pattern has emerged on the chart, a formation that typically develops after a sharp move upward, followed by a period of consolidation. If confirmed, this pattern could mark the start of a potential continuation phase, setting the stage for DOGE’s next upward move. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
