For almost as long as Bitcoin has been trading, Korea’s “kimchi premium” has been one of the market’s favorite ghost signals. When spot prices in South Korea climb faster than those in the US, traders interpret this as a sign of retail demand surging, capital trapped, and liquidity tilting East. When the spread collapses, the […]

Crypto analyst predicts a $2,000 $BNB based on chart similarities with gold and $XRP $BNB adoption explodes in 2025, with names like CEA Industries, Windtree Therapeutics, and Nano Labs planning treasuries worth hundreds of millions $BNB rebounded swiftly from last Friday’s market crash, after dropping as low as $1,024 BNB could tap into the $2,000s, according to EGRAG CRYPTO, who found glaring similarities between $BNB’s chart movement and that of gold. EGRAG found similarities between BNB and XRP as well, which also suggests a $2,000+ target if the momentum holds. History may support this prediction, given that BNB’s last four-year run kept the token under the trendline, before its breakout above $700 this February. But it was June 23 when $BNB unleashed its true potential, embarking on a several-months-long run, which resulted in a $1,330 ATH two days before October 10’s market crash. The dip that followed took the coin to $1,024, before a swift rebound above $1,300, making the beginning of the consolidation phase. As the market recovers and $BNB pushes on, Snorter Token’s ($SNORT) presale sees increased investor participation, after raising over $4.6M since its start date. Crypto Adoption and Speculation Fuels BNB’s 2025 Performance 2025’s crypto adoption wave is the primary catalyst behind BNB’s elevated growth rate over the past several months. For BNB specifically, CEA Industries is currently the largest holder, with a treasury of 480,000 tokens, valued at over $412M. But it’s not the only one planning long-term $BNB accumulation. Windtree Therapeutics already secured $200M from institutional investors to fuel its coming $BNB treasury, with the goal of offering shareholders ‘a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a BNB-focused crypto treasury strategy’. Then we have the Chinese Nano Labs and its $500M convertible note, creating the foundation of its BNB strategy. Nano Labs already made the headlines again one month later after securing 495,050 shares in CEA Industries to support its growing treasury. In this context, BNB’s 2025 performance is a lot more understandable. As analyst Nansen shows, BNB Chain leads in terms of DEX volume, with $675.9B in capital, 1,309% up since the start of October and this isn’t even the strongest point. That would instead be the 43% increase in the number of transactions, despite a clear decline in the number of active users. This suggests one thing: growing institutional or whale investments. BNB is clearly in the green, despite the seven-day chart saying otherwise; switch to the 1-year performance and you’ll see the bigger picture. With BNB on the front foot for 2026 and beyond, Snorter Token ($SNORT) comes as one of the next crypto to explode in 2025’s Q4. How Snorter Token Turns Coin Hunting Profitable Snorter Token’s ($SNORT) goal is to address the main problems associated with coin hunting: the high risk of scams, the newcomer-repellent technical complexity, and the unreliable performance from top-tier sniping tools.

The XRP market has witnessed an unexpected shakeup over the past few days, with Open Interest (OI) plunging over 50% in just one weekend. According to data from Coinglass, XRP’s futures open interest dropped to approximately $4.22 billion as of October 14. This sharp decline signals a negative shift in market sentiment, raising the question about whether XRP’s recent price recovery can hold amid shrinking derivatives activity. XRP Open Interest On Exchanges Crashes 50% The data from Coinglass paints a clear picture of massive deleveraging across the XRP futures market. From September until October 10, XRP’s open interest consistently fluctuated between $7 billion and $9 million, indicating heightened speculative activity. Related Reading: Here’s How High The XRP Price Would Be With The Market Cap Of Bitcoin However, on October 11, the asset’s open interest crashed from $8.36 billion to $5.12 billion within 24 hours, representing a staggering 38.7% decline. Since then, the total open interest across exchanges has continued to trend downward, settling around $4.22 billion after crashing 50% from $8.36 billion on October 10. Binance, the largest exchange for XRP derivatives, mirrored this dramatic correction. Its open interest plummeted from $1.3 billion on October 8 to $607.21 million by October 14, marking a 53.4% collapse. The first major sign of stress appeared when open interest on Binance dropped from $1.27 billion on October 10 to $882.39 million on October 11, marking a roughly 30% loss overnight. Since that steep decline, the exchange has seen little sign of renewed speculative appetite. Notably, the decline in XRP exchange open interest coincided with its weekend price crash, when it fell from $2.4 to as low as $0.8 in a single day before rebounding above $1.5. Although XRP has since recovered to $2.46 as of writing, open interest continues to spiral downwards, reflecting a deep shift in market sentiment toward caution and fear. This also suggests that the current XRP price rally is driven more by spot buyers than leveraged traders, indicating that traders who shorted the market are being forced to buy back their positions. XRP Price Rally Hinges On $2.65 Breakout On the technical front, XRP’s daily chart on Binance suggests that the cryptocurrency may be nearing a critical turning point. According to crypto analyst Matthew Dixon, XRP bulls are now testing the $2.65 resistance zone after a significant corrective pattern. Related Reading: Zach Rector Pits XRP Against The Rest Of The Market – Here Are The Results The analyst’s chart shows that XRP’s recent price action completed a large WXY corrective wave, followed by a sharp rebound from its weekend low. Currently, the cryptocurrency is trading above $2.45, struggling to sustain momentum above the key $2.65 barrier. The analyst has indicated that a successful breakout and retest of this key resistance level could trigger rapid price acceleration, potentially driving XRP toward new all-time highs.

During last week’s market downturn that saw HYPE prices plummet towards $20, Hyperliquid reportedly maintained 100% uptime with zero bad debt, as stated by the platform’s founder, Jeff Yan. However, in a post shared on social media site X (formerly Twitter), Yan also raised concerns about certain centralized exchanges (CEXs), suggesting they may have underreported liquidation data during this volatile event. The Liquidation Debate In his remarks, the platform’s founder highlighted that Hyperliquid operates on a blockchain where every order, trade, and liquidation occurs visibly on-chain, allowing anyone to permissionlessly verify the execution of these processes. Related Reading: Bitcoin Weekly Preview: Trump’s Tariff Playbook Is Back — Here’s How To Trade It Yet, Yan identified a troubling trend among some CEXs, which he claims publicly document a drastic underreporting of user liquidations. He took Binance’s example, noting that even when thousands of liquidation orders occur simultaneously, only one is reported due to limitations in its data stream. The platform’s founder asserted that this can obscure the actual volume of liquidations, particularly during high-volatility events like the recent flash crash, leading to a potential underreporting factor of 100 times. In response to Yan’s criticism, Binance former CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), addressed the issue, stating, Some people ask why is #BNB so strong? While others tried to ignore, hide, shift blame, or attack competitors, the key @BNBChain ecosystem players (Binance, Venus, and more) took hundreds of millions out of their own pockets to PROTECT USERS. From Binance To Hyperliquid This exchange comes on the heels of a major drop on broader crypto prices last Friday, which saw the Bitcoin (BTC) price drop from $122,000 to $102,000 on exchanges like Binance, leading to the liquidation of over $19 billion in leveraged positions. Amid the chaos, Jeff noted that Hyperliquid reportedly managed a trading volume between $50 and $70 billion without any downtime or disruption. In contrast, Binance faced temporary technical issues that left some users unable to close their positions. Related Reading: Bitcoin Whale Breaks 13-Year Silence, Moves $33 Million To Exchange Hyperliquid’s founder has a history with Binance, having participated in the Binance Labs Investment Incubation Program in 2018. During this period, he, along with co-founder Brian Wong, aimed to develop Deaux, a decentralized prediction market product. Their vision was to create a platform that facilitated collaborative betting within an international liquidity pool using cryptocurrency. Throughout their time in the Binance Incubation Program, they emphasized the importance of user experience while exploring the benefits of decentralization. Their product sought to mirror the user-friendly interface of centralized exchanges like Binance—offering low fees and real-time feedback—while ensuring security through blockchain smart contracts and incorporating decentralized democratic voting for settlement. At the time of writing, HYPE is still recording weekly losses of 14%, with the token trading at around $41.88. However, it has recovered by over 4% in the last few hours, although all-time high levels are still 28% away. Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com
