#BitDegree _ Daily Squeeze

BNB might as well stand for Buy Now, Bro - cuz the bros really do be buying.
The coin hopped on a rocket and blasted straight to a new all-time high above $1.3K today.
And not only that - it surpassed XRP to become the #3 largest crypto in the world.
Soooo, what's going on?

Memecoins
BNB Chain has recently seen a whole lotta new #MEME coin projects, which attracted a whole lotta new traders, which made the prices a whole lotta higher.
You'll see that in just a second, in the Memecoin Harvest section: Binance ecosystem-related memecoins are really stealing the show.
Matter of fact, the BNB memecoin launchpad FourMeme has actually outperformed Solana's PumpFun in 24-hour trading volume.
And this whole meme hype, while speculative, has created real on-chain activity that increases BNB's demand, because every transaction on that network requires BNB to pay fees.

Aster
Then there's #AsterDEX - a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on BNB Chain.
Aster supports perpetual futures - contracts that let users speculate on crypto prices without expiration - and offers leverage up to 1,000x. Very risky, but also very attractive to high-risk traders looking for bigger returns.
It gained immediate attention after Binance founder CZ started bullposting about it.
The attention in question:
It became one of the highest fee-earning protocols on BNB Chain ($2.5M in the past day);Its token, ASTER, increased nearly 3K% in its first week.
Because Aster operates on BNB Chain, every trade and position uses BNB for fees. As Aster’s trading volume grew, so did the network's gas usage.ster’s trading volume grew, so did the network's gas usage.

Institutional interest
Companies like #CEAIndustries have begun holding BNB as part of their treasuries;
#YZILabs (a venture capital firm linked to CZ) is launching a $1B fund to support new projects in the BNB ecosystem.

All of these factors have created a rise in demand for BNB = price go up.
Looking ahead, however, the rally might cool off a bit. After such a strong move, it’s normal for prices to wobble as traders take profits.
Plus, memecoin seasons come and go - one viral week can turn into silence the next.
Still, as long as BNB Chain stays busy, the underlying demand for BNB should stay healthy.

$BNB $XRP $SOL

On the first edition of 2025, we shared what analysts thought would happen in crypto this year.
Big numbers. Bold calls. Maximum confidence.
Now that 2025 is officially in the rearview mirror, we're looking back at what they said…
and comparing it to what actually happened.
Spoiler: some takes aged like fine wine... and others aged like milk.

1/ Bitcoin
Many forecasts expected BTC to reach new all-time highs well above $150K in 2025.
Bitcoin did reach a record high around $126K... but then dropped, and we ended the year at around $87K.
The verdict:
❌ Bullish energy was right... but magnitude + sustainability were overestimated.
Source: BitDegree

2/ Ethereum
Forecasts last year pointed to Ethereum surging into the $5.5K - $8K range.
And while ETH did see notable price increases at various points, it never went above $4.9K.
The verdict:
❌ Fundamentals did improve... but the price never matched the hopium.
Source: BitDegree

3/ Solana
Solana targets were as high as $500 - $750.
And in reality, Solana and many altcoins saw a lot of interest... but no sustained breakout to those numbers.
The verdict:
❌ Ecosystem stayed alive and active, but price lagged.
Source: BitDegree

4/ Crypto ETFs
The expectation was that ETFs would outperform already-strong 2024 inflows, BTC ETF assets would push above $250B, and there'd be massive ETH ETF demand.
ETF adoption did continue and became normalized across portfolios, but inflows were uneven and fell short of the most aggressive projections.
The verdict:
❌ Structural win, numerical miss.

5/ Crypto IPO wave
Forecasts named Circle, Figure, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, and Chainalysis as 2025 IPO candidates.
👉 Circle did go public.
👉 Kraken advanced IPO preparations but did not complete a listing in 2025.
👉 Others remained private.
The verdict:
✅ Circle delivered.
❌ The rest slipped.

6/ AI agents & memecoin mania
The idea was that AI-launched tokens would ignite a bigger memecoin mania than 2024.
What actually happened: AI stayed hot as a narrative, but AI agents did not dominate markets.
The verdict:
❌ Miss.

7/ Strategic Bitcoin reserve in the US
The prediction was that the US would move toward a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
And the US did sign an executive order establishing a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, funded with Bitcoin the government already held.
However, no confirmed new BTC purchases took place.
The verdict:
✅ Reserve created.
❌ But the US didn't start buying.

8/ More countries holding Bitcoin
Some analysts thought that said that at least 5 new countries would add BTC, others even went as far as to say that the number of BTC-holding nations would double.
And while there was some interest and exploration in 2025, there was no major wave of public reserve additions.
The verdict:
❌ Miss.

9/ Coinbase + MicroStrategy level up
Forecast: Coinbase into S&P 500, MicroStrategy into Nasdaq-100.
The verdict:
✅ Both happened.
Source: @coinbase

10/ Stablecoins
Forecasts called for:
👉 Stablecoin assets doubling to ~$400B;
👉 $300B in daily transactions;
👉 10+ TradFi-backed stablecoins launching.
Reality:
Stablecoins were one of 2025's strongest themes.
Assets and transaction volume expanded materially, regulation clarity improved, TradFi participation increased, and Circle's IPO reinforced stablecoins as core financial infrastructure, even if not every numeric target was hit.
The verdict:
✅ W!

Final verdict
2025 wasn't about price fireworks. It was about infrastructure, regulation, and slower-than-expected maturity.
The forecasts assumed speed. Reality delivered progress - just at half the pace.
And what could we expect in 2026?..

Ethereum explained

Today's topic: Ethereum - the chain that turned crypto from "internet money" into "internet apps."

Source: @dubzyxbt

Let's clear this up right away: Ethereum is not just a cryptocurrency.
Yes, it has a coin (ETH).
But Ethereum's real purpose is being a decentralized platform where anyone can build applications without a company, server, or central authority running the show.
If Bitcoin answered the question,
👉 "What if money didn't need banks?"
Ethereum followed up with,
👉 "What if apps didn't need companies?"
Here's the core idea:
Ethereum is a blockchain that lets developers write smart contracts - pieces of code that automatically run when certain conditions are met. No middleman. No manual approval.
Once those contracts are live, they can't be changed or shut down by a single party.
That's the magic (and sometimes the chaos).

Here's how that plays out in practice:
Ethereum runs on a network of computers called nodes. These nodes all store the blockchain and agree on what's happening - who sent what, which contracts ran, and in what order.
When you do anything on Ethereum (swap tokens, mint an NFT, vote in a DAO, etc.), you're interacting with a smart contract. The network processes that action, records it permanently, and moves on.
That processing requires resources - and that's where ETH comes in.
ETH is Ethereum's native asset and is used to pay for transactions and computation (aka gas).
So ETH isn't just money - it's the fuel that keeps Ethereum running.
To keep this system secure, Ethereum relies on validators.
Validators lock up (stake) ETH as collateral and help verify transactions and smart contract activity.
👉 If they follow the rules, they earn ETH rewards.
👉 If they try to cheat, they can lose part of their stake.
This setup makes attacking the network expensive and aligns incentives so it's in everyone's best interest to play fair - all without a central authority in charge.

At this point, the difference between Ethereum and Bitcoin becomes clear.
👉 Bitcoin is intentionally limited. It focuses on being secure, predictable, and good at one thing: digital money.
👉 Ethereum is intentionally flexible. It's designed to be programmable.
Same foundation (blockchain). Very different goals.
And because Ethereum is programmable, entire ecosystems grew on top of it. This is where:
👉 decentralized finance (lending, borrowing, trading without banks),
👉 NFTs and on-chain ownership,
👉 blockchain games,
👉 DAOs run by smart contracts,
👉 and thousands of tokens
... all took off.
Ethereum became the default place to build in crypto.

Of course… it's not perfect.
Ethereum's biggest pain points:
👉 High gas fees: when lots of people use the network, fees can spike;
👉 Scalability: the base layer can only handle so much at once;
👉 Smart contract risk: code bugs can (and have) caused major losses.
A lot of Ethereum's upgrades and Layer-2 solutions exist specifically to fix these issues.
Bottom line:
Ethereum isn't just a coin - it's a platform. A programmable blockchain that lets developers build apps, organizations, and financial systems without a central authority calling the shots.
👉 Bitcoin showed the world decentralized money was possible.
👉 Ethereum showed the world decentralized everything else might be too.
