Pakistan and El Salvador have initiated a diplomatic alliance that puts crypto first. It’s the latest in a global shift to improving crypto regulation and adoption. Crypto is the ultimate winner here, and that includes the best crypto presales. On July 16, El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele met with Bilal bin Saqib, Pakistan Crypto Council (PCC) CEO and Minister of State for Crypto and Blockchain. Among the topics discussed were Bitcoin mining and energy resources, strategic Bitcoin reserves, and $BTC education. The result, as reported by Business Recorder, was the signing of a Letter of Intent to establish a formal framework of collaboration between El Salvador’s Bitcoin Office and the PCC. Leading the Bitcoin Charge Why is this meeting making headlines? Well, in 2021, El Salvador became the first country in the world to adopt Bitcoin as a legal currency. Government policy also includes buying $BTC and, as of end-2024, it had amassed more than 5.9K Bitcoins. In other words, El Salvador is very crypto-friendly, and it was the first to set a trend that many governments, including Pakistan and the US, are finally beginning to follow. Pakistan, for its part, has been making definitive moves towards digital asset adoption. This strategic move is set to strengthen Pakistan’s already-growing crypto market. “The country ranks among the top in global crypto adoption, with an estimated $300B in annual crypto transactions and 25M active crypto users,” according to Pakistan’s Finance Ministry. Pakistan sits at the number nine spot in Chainanalysis’ 2024 Global Crypto Adoption Index, out of 151 nations. So far, 2025 has proven to be a busy year for Pakistan’s crypto strategy. In early May, it appointed Saqib to head the newly formed PCC. Around the same time, it also announced a national initiative to power Bitcoin mining and AI data centers by allocating 2 gigawatts of electricity. That was in addition to launching its first government-backed Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, signaling long-term crypto commitment and aiming to attract global investment. Also in May, the government established the Pakistan Digital Assets Authority (PDAA). It’s the PCC’s CEO, however, who’s actively taking the lead in making Pakistan the crypto capital of South Asia. Saqib’s responsibilities include driving efforts to regulate crypto under FATF guidelines, launching national $BTC mining, integrating blockchain across sectors, licensing Virtual Asset Service Providers, and growing Pakistan’s Web3 ecosystem. “Pakistan is done sitting on the sidelines. We want to have regulatory clarity. We need to have a legal framework that is pro-business,” Saqib told Bloomberg earlier this year. “We need institutional adoption. We want banks, we want other enterprises to integrate with blockchain and not fight it. We want Pakistan to be a leader in blockchain-powered finance, and we want to attract international investment.” Crypto Boost To Benefit Presales Wider global adoption of crypto is great for the market. Case in point is the $BTC price, which hit an ATH last week, peaking at $123K just three days ago. It’s not just Bitcoin and little brother Ethereum that are reaping the rewards of widespread adoption. While institutional investors generally favor those two, smaller-cap altcoins have become the go-to for retail investors, according to a recent Wintermute report. With altcoin season about to hit, this segment is one to watch. That goes for the best presale altcoins too. Early-bird investment means buying in at a low cost, with potentially explosive gains down the line. Here’s a quick look at three in particular worth considering. 1. Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) – Unleashes the Power of Bitcoin With an L2 When it comes to blockchain security, nothing beats Bitcoin’s. But high transaction fees and a lack of scalability are issues that put many traders off. That’s where Bitcoin Hyper ($HYPER) steps up to the plate. It is introducing an innovative Bitcoin Layer-2 (L2) ecosystem that eradicates Bitcoin’s unpleasantries. Integrating the Solana Virtual Machine, $HYPER brings lower transaction costs and sub-second execution to the equation. That alone deserves a round of applause. But hold that thought, because it also introduces cross-chain compatibility, opening the door to meme coins, dApps, and DeFi. Three cheers all round. By the way, we took a look at $HYPER’s tokenomics and we liked what we saw. Of the total token supply of 21B, 30% is allocated to product development. That’s good, because this project will need to evolve if it wants to make good on its promise of scalability. Investor interest in this presale has also been strong, with $3.16M+ already raised. No doubt the concept of a Bitcoin L2 is driving that interest, but high staking rewards definitely sweeten the deal. Right now, you can buy $HYPER for $0.0123 – and stake it for 285% APY. Impressive, no? Discover how to purchase and stake your $HYPER in our guide to buying Bitcoin Hyper. Don’t wait too long, though. Presale prices go up in stages, and the $HYPER price will increase tomorrow. 2. Best Wallet Token ($BEST) – Backing Global Crypto Wallet Market Domination With both institutional and retail investment in crypto booming, that means good news for the crypto wallet market, too. It’s already a very lucrative segment, and one that’s set for exponential growth as crypto becomes more widely adopted. That puts the Best Wallet Token ($BEST) in an excellent position. That’s because it’s the presale token driving the Best Wallet app’s mission to dominate 40% of the global crypto wallet market by the end of next year. Best Wallet stands an excellent chance of making good on its goal. As a leading crypto wallet, it’s a no-KYC, non-custodial, multi-chain, and multi-currency hot wallet designed for crypto newbies and pros alike. And now $BEST is powering additional features and benefits for holders. Holding $BEST means lower transaction costs and higher staking rewards. You also enjoy governance rights, meaning you can have your say in the project’s direction and future features. What’s more, you can also buy the top presale tokens directly from the Best Wallet app. That, by the way, is an industry first. With $13.96M+ already in the $BEST kitty, this presale is going strong. Find out how to buy $BEST today for $0.025345 – and stake it for 98% APY rewards – by checking out our guide to buying Best Wallet Token. 3. Lightchain AI ($LCAI) – A Fusion of Blockchain and AI for Next-Gen Apps. Lightchain AI (LCAI) is the token behind a decentralized system that will fuse blockchain and AI to power next-gen apps. At its core is the AI Virtual Machine (AIVM), which is designed for AI task execution, and a Proof of Intelligence mechanism that incentivizes valuable computing work. By tackling key issues like scalability, trust, and data privacy, Lightchain AI will deliver a fair and secure environment for both users and developers, using blockchain transparency and AI strength to support dApps that solve real-world problems. The presale has already raised $21.77M+, and Stage 15 of the $LCAI presale was recently completed. The project has now launched a final Bonus Round ahead of its mainnet launch. That means one last chance to buy $LCA at the fixed presale price of $0.007125. ‘Tis the Season To Be Jolly Bullish sentiment abounds as more governments and institutions warm towards crypto. And that’s not only good for the crypto OGs – presale tokens are also coming along for the ride. However, whether $HYPER, $BEST, or $LCAI – or any crypto for that matter – has caught your attention, please be sure to always DYOR first. Knowledge is your best investment strategy to help lower your risk.

Windtree Therapeutics (WINT), a biotech company dedicated to developing therapies for critical health conditions, has announced a significant partnership with Build and Build Corporation. The two companies revealed a $200 million securities purchase agreement aimed at establishing a Binance Coin (BNB) treasury. First NASDAQ-Listed Company Offering Direct BNB Exposure Under the terms of this agreement, Windtree has the potential to secure an additional $140 million in gross proceeds through future subscriptions, which would bring total subscriptions to $200 million. The funds—expected to come in the form of cash, shares of Osprey BNB Chain Trust, and BNB tokens—will primarily be utilized to implement a BNB crypto treasury strategy.

Windtree also considered the growing metrics of the token, noting that BNB boasts average daily trading volumes exceeding $2 billion, making it the largest and most liquid crypto exchange token globally. Patrick Horsman, CFA and Director of Build & Build Corp, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating: We are thrilled to propose a groundbreaking BNB strategy to the US market.

Renowned crypto analyst Josh Olszewicz has declared what many crypto traders have long been waiting for: Altcoin Season has officially begun. In a market breakdown released on July 16, Olszewicz dismissed any lingering doubt about the current market structure, arguing that the conditions for outsized altcoin performance are firmly in place. Crypto Alert: Altcoin Season Is Here “For years, you’ve had people telling you, ‘It’s an alt season.’ The funny thing is, when alt season is actually here, you don’t need anybody to tell you—it’s obvious,” Olszewicz said, emphasizing that current price action across major alts and risk assets leaves little room for ambiguity. Related Reading: Crypto Relief: House Advances GENIUS, CLARITY, Anti-CBDC Bills After Narrow Vote According to Olszewicz, Bitcoin remains the backbone of the crypto market, consolidating near $120,000 at the yearly pivot with “plenty of room to go” on technicals. He acknowledged that BTC’s strength underpins the entire market cycle, but the focus has shifted to the explosive moves underway in altcoins. “Let’s be honest—you’re here because you want to outperform BTC by 2x to 5x. That’s the goal,” he said. Ethereum sits at the center of this rotation, breaking out decisively from $2,200 to above $3,200. “ETH has had quite the breakout. It’s above the next pivot at $3,200. I don’t need the cloud to tell me this is bullish,” Olszewicz noted, pointing to technical tailwinds and regulatory clarity surrounding staking and ETFs as additional catalysts. While ETH advocates have renewed confidence, Olszewicz cautioned against overconfidence: “Be careful drinking the Kool-Aid. ETH could go to $10K, but I think it’ll struggle at $5K. For July, $4K looks realistic—but that’s already nearly 4x from the April bottom.” The analyst also flagged Solana as a key player for those who missed the early moves in BTC and ETH. “Sol is starting to look better and better here, approaching the yearly pivot. If it breaks above $177, watch out,” he said, although he warned that the SOL/ETH chart still shows weakness. Other strong setups include Sui, Avalanche, and meme coins like Dogecoin and Pepe, which have already logged triple-digit percentage gains in recent weeks from their respective bottom. Still, Olszewicz urged traders to temper expectations for an uninterrupted melt-up. Historically, August and September have been weaker months for crypto, and he anticipates potential sharp corrections in alts. “Maybe we don’t see huge continuation in those months. We could even get negative 25% days on alts—just randomly, for whatever reason. You know that’s coming,” he said. Related Reading: Crypto Bulls Rejoice: Congresswoman Confirms Powell’s Imminent Firing Despite these caveats, the broader outlook remains decisively bullish. “It’s hard to throw a dart and miss at this point in the market. Everything looks good. If you’re in positions that aren’t working here, you need to ask yourself why,” Olszewicz added. He highlighted that even NFTs, long considered a proxy for speculative appetite, are surging again, with collections like Pudgy Penguins and Bored Apes seeing multi-week highs. As for the much-debated ETH/BTC pair, Olszewicz reminded traders that relative value matters. “This is why everyone came here—for this chart. We’re still far below the cloud, at levels last seen in 2020. The target for mean reversion is 0.038. Until ETH/BTC is above the weekly cloud, don’t get carried away with the ETH-maxi stuff,” he said, adding that the long-term bear trend could persist into 2026 despite short-term strength. Olszewicz closed with a note of caution for overleveraged traders. “This is a marathon, not a sprint. Don’t lose your shirt on 50x leverage when there’s so much market left to trade,” he warned. With total altcoin market capitalization approaching critical resistance near $1.5 trillion and sentiment flashing risk-on across the board, the message from one of crypto’s most followed analysts is clear: Altcoin Season isn’t coming—it’s already here. At press time, the total crypto market cap surged to 3.75 trillion. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Crypto exchange Coinbase has launched a new initiative with its “Base App,” aiming to broaden access to the crypto economy. Unveiled on Wednesday, this application replaces the Coinbase Wallet and is designed to merge various functionalities, including wallet, trading, payments, messaging, and social media. Built on Coinbase’s proprietary blockchain network, Base, which operates on the Ethereum (ETH) blockchain, the app reportedly seeks to attract a wider audience beyond traditional cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Base App Launch According to CNBC, the Base App represents an opportunity to reach consumers who may not be primarily interested in buying or trading cryptocurrencies—a critical pivot given the company’s past over-reliance on trading revenues. Related Reading: BNB Price Stalls: Struggles to Resume Gains While Altcoins Rally To support the launch of the Base App, Coinbase introduced two significant features: Base Account, an identity verification system, and Base Pay, an express checkout tool designed for payments using the Circle-issued USDC stablecoin. During the unveiling event, Alex Danco, a product manager at Shopify, highlighted that “tens of thousands” of merchants can now utilize this feature, with plans for a broader rollout in the coming months. Additionally, Shopify intends to offer 1% cash back on USDC payments made through Base, further incentivizing usage. While initial enthusiasm for the Base network has primarily attracted developers and builders, notable interest is growing among larger financial entities. Recently, JPMorgan announced its plan to launch a deposit token on the Base blockchain, showcasing the network’s potential. Ambitious Goals For Coinbase The Base App is designed to enhance monetization options and greater control over their identity and data. As part of this initiative, Coinbase plans to fund creator rewards and waive USDC transaction fees within chat features, although significant revenue generation is not expected immediately. This launch comes at a time when the broader cryptocurrency industry is experiencing a surge in new products, driven by favorable policies from the Trump administration and anticipated regulatory clarity from Congress.

He also envisions transforming Coinbase into the premier financial services app globally within the next five to ten years. As of writing, the exchange’s stock, COIN, is trading at $398, slightly down from its all-time high of $405, which was reached earlier in Wednesday’s trading session. Bitcoin (BTC) and other major cryptocurrencies have also shown significant bullish momentum, with prices reaching new records or levels not seen since earlier in the year.
