#xrp$XRP #DOGE $DOGE $SHIB #Shibalnu L'AI Gemini di Google rivela alcune proiezioni di prezzo esplosive per XRP, Dogecoin e Shiba Inu nel 2026 dopo alcuni attenti suggerimenti. L'AI Gemini di Google sfrutta i vasti set di dati della sua azienda madre ogni volta che formula conclusioni. È piuttosto sorprendente, dato che ci sono stati mesi di candele rosse, che Gemini sia piuttosto ottimista su XRP, Dogecoin e Shiba Inu, e pensa che tutti e tre raggiungeranno nuovi massimi storici (ATH) nei prossimi dieci mesi. Ma quanto sono realistiche le proiezioni di Gemini?
Tether says it has frozen $4.2 billion of its stablecoin over crime links
#Tether $tether PARIS, Feb 27 (Reuters) - El Salvador-based stablecoin issuer Tether said it has frozen about $4.2 billion of its crypto tokens over links to "illicit activity", mostly in the past three years, as authorities around the world try to crack down on crypto-related crime. The world's largest stablecoin company, which has more than $180 billion of its dollar-pegged token in circulation, up from around $70 billion three years ago, is able to remotely freeze its tokens held in users' crypto wallets when asked to do so by law enforcement. Tether said this week it had helped the U.S. Justice Department freeze nearly $61 million worth of its tokens, called USDT, which were linked to "pig-butchering", a form of fraud in which scammers form a personal relationship with their victims. That brought its total frozen assets linked to illicit activity to $4.2 billion, of which $3.5 billion has been frozen since 2023, a spokesperson for Tether said in emailed comments late on Thursday. Tether has also previously said it had blocked wallets linked to human trafficking, and "terrorism and warfare" in Israel and Ukraine. Sanctioned Russian crypto exchange Garantex said last year Tether had blocked funds on its platform. Authorities around the world have long raised concerns about the role of crypto in illicit finance. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) last year called on countries to take stronger action to combat illicit finance in crypto markets, which are generally less regulated than mainstream financial markets. Money launderers received at least $82 billion in cryptocurrencies last year, up sharply from just $10 billion in 2020, partly driven by growth among Chinese-speaking groups, blockchain researchers said in January. Stablecoins are mostly used in crypto trading, and their volumes have surged in recent years.
Recent secondary market transactions reveal that stablecoin giant Tether may now be valued as high as $375 billion, potentially vaulting its secretive owners into the highest ranks of the world’s richest. Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin, is trading on secondary markets in a range of $350 billion to $375 billion, according to industry sources. Though this is below the $500 billion maximum target the company was seeking for its fundraise first reported by Bloomberg in September, the amount is still large enough to catapult its top executives into the top ranks among world billionaires. Tether did not respond to Forbes’ request for comment by press time. SoftBank and Ark Invest have previously been mentioned as potential participants in Tether’s fundraise, but a source familiar with the matter told Forbes that SoftBank is not an investor in Tether. ETF manager Ark Invest, founded by Cathie Wood, did not respond to a request for comment. Earlier reports suggested the El Salvador-based crypto juggernaut was initially seeking up to $20 billion for roughly 3% of the business, but its advisers later floated raising as little as $5 billion after encountering investor hesitation, according to the Financial Times. For now, based on conversations with crypto investors and executives, Forbes is valuing Tether at roughly $200 billion—still far above the $50 billion estimate assigned to the company one year ago. That valuation would also create a windfall for Cantor Fitzgerald, putting its 5% stake at $10 billion, up from a reported $600 million in 2023. Last year, CEO Paolo Ardoino said Tether was building its own artificial intelligence platform, alongside new data, energy and education divisions. It has also built sizable positions in commodities and crypto—about $23 billion in gold and $6.4 billion in bitcoin. Separately, Tether’s venture portfolio spans more than 120 companies and is worth over $10 billion, including a recent $200 million investment in internet marketplace Whop.com and a $775 million bet on video platform Rumble in 2024. Ardoino has also claimed his company has a 99% profit margin with a staff of about 300 employees. But Tether is facing increasing competition in stablecoins. Besides Circle with its popular USDC stablecoin, Stripe and crypto venture firm Paradigm recently unveiled a new blockchain for stablecoin payments called Tempo, with partners that include UBS, Deutsche Bank, OpenAI and Anthropic. Meta, which spent years pursuing its own stablecoin project, Libra, is also plotting a return. CoinDesk reported its plans to support stablecoin-backed payments and implement a new wallet later this year.

Why UNUS SED LEO Barely Moves While Other Tokens Swing Wildly #LEO $LEO$UNUS#UNUS#SED $SED UNUS SED LEO's near-flat price action stems from its unique structure as a tightly held exchange utility token with extraordinarily low trading volume, making it fundamentally different from speculative altcoins that chase narrative-driven pumps. A Token Built for Stability, Not Speculation UNUS SED LEO operates under a completely different model than most cryptocurrencies. As Bitfinex's native utility token, LEO exists primarily to provide fee discounts and exchange benefits rather than serve as a vehicle for speculative trading. This fundamental difference shapes everything about how it trades. The token's ownership structure reinforces this stability. A significant portion of LEO's supply sits with iFinex insiders and long-term Bitfinex users who value the utility benefits over short-term price action. Unlike meme coins or emerging Layer-1 protocols that attract waves of momentum traders, LEO's holder base consists largely of strategic positions that rarely change hands. The project's ongoing buyback and burn program, funded by Bitfinex revenues, creates additional structural support. These buybacks tie LEO's value to the exchange's profitability rather than speculative narratives, encouraging gradual appreciation over time instead of volatile swings. With a market cap around $8.09 billion and a top-15 ranking, LEO commands significant value. Yet it trades on far fewer exchanges than mainstream assets, further concentrating liquidity among existing holders. This combination of concentrated ownership, utility-focused design, and limited listing venues creates a token that structurally resists the kind of rapid repricing common in crypto markets. The Structural Story Behind the Stillness LEO's tight 0.03% to 0.29% range over roughly two days reflects its fundamental nature as a large, tightly held exchange token with minimal speculative turnover. The combination of concentrated ownership, utility-focused design, buyback support, and extraordinarily low trading volume creates a token that naturally resists volatility. When speculative attention flows elsewhere and the token consolidates after a modest rise, multi-day periods of near-flat price action become the expected outcome rather than an anomaly requiring explanation.

Previsione del Prezzo dell'Avalanche 2026, 2027 – 2030: Raggiungerà il Prezzo di AVAX $100?
#AVAX$AVAX Punti salienti della storia Il prezzo attuale dell'Avalanche è $ 9.14206074. Le previsioni dei prezzi per il 2026 variano da $400 a $600. Le prospettive a lungo termine suggeriscono un potenziale di crescita graduale per avvicinarsi a $1200 entro il 2030. $AVAX Aave (AAVE) è un protocollo di finanza decentralizzata costruito su Ethereum che facilita prestiti e prese in prestito senza permessi attraverso contratti intelligenti. Dopo aver assistito a una forte espansione nel ciclo di mercato precedente, AAVE è entrato in una fase di correzione prolungata, con il prezzo che si ritrae gradualmente dai suoi massimi precedenti. Durante il 2025, AAVE è rimasto in una struttura di consolidamento, riflettendo un periodo di digestione del mercato piuttosto che una continuazione della tendenza. Anche se il momentum a breve termine si è raffreddato, la struttura tecnica più ampia suggerisce che AAVE potrebbe stare passando a una nuova fase di accumulo.
Middle East tensions boost gold as investors seek safe havens
#GOLD $GOLD Escalating US-Iran tensions are boosting safe-haven demand, with gold attracting investors while equities and Bitcoin face pressure. Rising tensions in the Middle East are pushing investors toward safe-haven assets, with gold demand climbing as investors flee equities and crypto markets. On Wednesday, reports revealed that Iran has sharply increased crude oil exports, with shipments from Kharg Island reaching 20.1 million barrels between Feb. 15 and Friday, about three times January’s level, as a preemptive supply release and a hedge against possible disruption if tensions with the United States escalate. At the same time, increasingly hawkish US rhetoric regarding Iran’s nuclear program has raised expectations of confrontation, according to Bitunix analysts. “In the event of a direct US–Iran military conflict, gold could rise by roughly 15% within two weeks on safe-haven demand, targeting a range of $5,500-$5,800 per ounce,” Crypto markets also remain sensitive to the macro forces, the analysts said, noting that safe-haven flows into the US dollar could pressure Bitcoin BTC$67,124 prices toward the $64,000-$65,000 zone. On the other hand, if inflation concerns dominate over dollar strength, capital could rotate into alternative hedges and push BTC toward $69,000 liquidity levels, Bitunix analysts said.
Ethereum reclaims $2K as volatility spike backs ETH price recovery
#ETH $ETH $ETH Ethereum’s looked bullish, with onchain data showing that the ETH price may have hit a macro bottom as a key support level holds.Ethereum ETH$2,026 price is up 18% since plunging below the $1,800 mark on Feb. 6, reclaiming the $2,000 support level. Surging price volatility and a low MVRV Z-score value are also signaling a local bottom forming. Key takeaways: Ethereum realized volatility on Binance has risen to its highest level since March 2025, hinting at a potential recovery.Ether’s MVRV Z-Score has dropped into the accumulation zone, suggesting that ETH has bottomed. Ether’s multiyear trend line around $1,800-$1,900 holds as support. Ethereum’s volatility hits 12-month highs $ETH Ethereum's volatility has seen a sudden spike, suggesting that the market is entering a period of intense activity and strong repricing, according to data from CryptoQuant. Volatility is a metric used to determine how much and how quickly Ether’s price fluctuates over a given period. The chart below shows that the realized volatility (30-day) indicator on Binance rose sharply to 0.97 on Thursday from 0.37 in mid-January. A spike in realized volatility to such high levels indicates that the “market has emerged from a period of relative calm and entered a highly volatile environment,” CryptoQuant analyst Arab Chain said in a Quicktake analysis, adding: “Past experience has shown that such readings have often preceded a significant upward move in Ethereum’s price.” The last time the volatility was this high was between late March and early April 2025 as ETH price formed a bottom range between $1,500 and $1,700. After that, the ETH/USD pair rallied 77% to $2,700 in less than 30 days. A similar spike in Q4/2024 preceded a 74% rally in Ether’s price. If history repeats itself, this spike in volatility could mark the end of the downtrend, setting up ETH for a multimonth rally once volatility normalizes and conviction builds

#SHIB $SHIB $SHIB Shiba Inu’s projected 700% cycle target and Dogecoin’s rare 1,100-day profit milestone spotlight diverging signals. Memecoin markets are back in focus. Renewed speculation around Shiba Inu's cycle targets and a structural development for Dogecoin are drawing trader attention, even as both assets retreat under broader Bitcoin-led pressure. Shiba Inu currently trades at, $0.00000615, up 3.84% in 24 hours. The decline carries no coin-specific catalyst. SHIB is moving in lockstep with Bitcoin weakness, a pattern analysts describe as classic beta-driven selling. Without a fresh ecosystem trigger, price action remains reactive rather than directional. $SHIB A widely circulated forecast projects a cycle peak for SHIB between $0.00003 and $0.00005 by late 2026. That would represent a gain of roughly 400% to 700% from current levels. The projection has reignited debate among traders over whether such targets are grounded in fundamentals or driven solely by cycle optimism.

Solana details Pacific Backbone as APAC rollout begins
#SOL$SOL Key Takeaways: Solana’s Pacific Backbone upgrades APAC infrastructure for faster, reliable network performance.Low-latency network enhances institutional staking, validation, and trading across Asia.Provides RPC and execution support for exchanges, market makers, professional validators. $SOL Solana Company has started building high-speed infrastructure across the Asia-Pacific region under a program branded the Pacific Backbone, as reported by Bitcoin.com News. The build is framed around upgrading network performance for users located in major Asian financial and developer hubs. According to Coinfomania, the Pacific Backbone is a low-latency network intended to improve institutional staking, validation, and trading on Solana. The plan references services such as RPC and execution support that are central to market makers, exchanges, and professional validators operating in the region. According to The Block, the initial footprint connects four hubs: Seoul, Tokyo, Singapore, and Hong Kong. The roadmap begins immediately, with a performance-focused rollout targeted for the second half of 2026. Within these hubs, the company’s buildout is expected to support validators, staking, RPC, and execution services while reducing reliance on external providers. The emphasis on local infrastructure is designed to help Asia-based operators lower latency and improve reliability for Solana-dependent workflows. Institutional investors have emphasized the operational importance of regionally optimized infrastructure. “The reality is, we see an opportunity to improve Solana staking and validation for users across Asia,” said Cosmo Jiang, General Partner at Pantera Capital. As reported by Moneycheck, Solana Foundation leadership has described Asia as crypto’s core market given the region’s user base and talent pool. That positioning aligns the Pacific Backbone’s geographic coverage with the foundation’s stated long-term focus on scalable infrastructure for broader tokenized finance use cases. $SOL At the time of this writing, Solana (SOL) traded near $78.36, with sentiment noted as bearish and volatility described as very high. This market context underscores that infrastructure upgrades and asset prices can move on different timelines. $SOL
#PEPE $PEPE #CRYPTOPRESALE Pepeto Could Turn a $6,000 Buy Into $300,000 as Backpack Exchange Offers Equity and Smart Money Rotates Into Real Utility $PEPE Backpack Exchange just announced that stakers of its token can earn actual equity in the company ahead of a potential IPO. When exchanges start giving away ownership to keep users loyal, it tells you one thing. The market is about to get very competitive for attention. For the best crypto presale, Pepeto is the token to watch. It is building a project that solves the meme coin infrastructure problem that a $45 billion market has ignored. The presale raised over $7,258,000. For those looking for early investor opportunities, the potential to turn $6,000 into $300,000 makes Pepeto the clear choice. Backpack Exchange offers equity to token stakers Backpack CEO Armani Ferrante confirmed users can stake the Backpack token for at least a year and exchange those tokens for equity at a fixed ratio representing 20% of the company. Ferrante said many past token launches were built on empty utility promises, a trap he wants to avoid. Equity offers are attractive for patient investors, but presale returns happen faster for those who position early. The Best Crypto Presale To Buy Now Pepeto: the best crypto presale for immediate impact While equity offers reward patience, the best crypto presale for aggressive growth remains Pepeto. Unlike waiting for a distant IPO, Pepeto is live and building, driving organic demand from day one. Here is the story most people do not know. When PEPE launched in 2023, it exploded to a $7 billion market cap on pure meme energy. Zero products. Zero infrastructure. Just a frog and the internet. One of the original Pepe Coin cofounders watched that happen and asked a simple question: what if the next generation actually built something? That question became Pepeto. The cofounder took the cultural power of meme coins and combined it with real trading infrastructure. A cross chain swap for meme coin trading. A blockchain bridge between networks. And a zero fee exchange that saves money on every transaction. Three working demos live today at the official Pepeto website. Holders can test every tool right now.
Story Highlights Crypto market falls 4.4% to $2.23T as Bitcoin drops near $64.8K, triggering $240M liquidations while ETF outflows signal weaker demand.Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP slide amid macro pressure and high leverage, pushing total crypto market cap toward the key $2T support level. Global cryptocurrency markets fell sharply on Monday, extending a multi-month downturn that traders say is being driven less by crypto-specific news and more by mounting macroeconomic pressure. The total digital asset market capitalization dropped roughly 4.4% in 24 hours to about $2.23 trillion, according to market data. The selloff was led by losses in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and XRP, which together account for a large share of overall market value. Bitcoin Drops Rapidly, Triggers Liquidation Wave Bitcoin fell nearly 5% on the day to around $64,800, with prices at one point sliding roughly $2,500 in about an hour. The swift move triggered an estimated $240 million in long liquidations, according to derivatives data. In leveraged markets, when prices fall quickly, traders who borrowed to bet on higher prices are forced to sell to cover their positions. Over the past 139 days, Bitcoin has declined close to 49%, wiping out more than $1 trillion in market value. Analysts say that unlike prior cycles, the downturn has not produced a sustained relief rally. At the same time, U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds have seen notable outflows in recent sessions, signaling weaker institutional demand. Weekly withdrawals totaling hundreds of millions of dollars have raised questions about whether the strong ETF-driven inflows earlier in the year are losing momentum. Ethereum Follows as Derivatives Market Unwinds Ethereum declined nearly 6% to trade around $1,859, underperforming Bitcoin slightly during the latest drop. Market participants say Ethereum’s weakness shows both its sensitivity to Bitcoin’s direction and elevated leverage across the crypto derivatives complex. Total open interest across major exchanges remains high, suggesting that many positions were vulnerable to sharp moves. As Bitcoin fell, Ethereum longs were also liquidated, amplifying losses. This pattern has become familiar during periods of heightened volatility, where price moves are magnified by automated liquidations rather than fundamental shifts in network activity. XRP and Altcoins Face Broader Risk-Off Rotation XRP fell nearly 6% on the day and more than 9% over the past week, trading near $1.33. This reflects a broader retreat from altcoins as investors rotate toward perceived safety or reduce overall exposure. In risk-off environments, capital typically exits smaller or more volatile assets first. Even large-cap altcoins such as XRP can experience outsized declines when confidence deteriorates across the sector.

Bitcoin Depot to require ID for all transactions at its crypto ATMs
#bitcoin$BTC #ATM $BTC Bitcoin Depot is moving to require ID for all transactions as regulators have cracked down on crypto ATM operators over scams and money laundering concerns. The biggest Bitcoin ATM operator in the US has begun phasing in a new requirement for users to provide identification for every transaction at its crypto ATMs amid increasing pressure from regulators and lawmakers for operators to curb illicit activity. Bitcoin Depot said on Tuesday that it began the rollout earlier in February across the company’s US network ATMs, with the goal of helping to detect suspicious activity in real time and eliminate misuse by bad actors, such as account sharing, identity theft, and account takeover. “Continuous verification allows us to detect suspicious activity based on customers, locations, or transaction amount before a transaction is approved,” Bitcoin Depot CEO Scott Buchanan said in a statement. Bitcoin Depot implemented ID requirements in October, but only for all new users to its service. Buchanan said that “by requiring identity verification at every transaction, we are taking an additional step to strengthen security, protect customers, and maintain the integrity of our services.” The US is the largest hub for Bitcoin BTC$65,864 ATMs, with Coin ATM Radar listing 31,360 machines in the country, accounting for 78% of the worldwide total.
