Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for the next price increase of its pre-launch phase. The price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025932 to $0.00026031. The project’s pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025. 

Meanwhile, Bitcoin (BTC) and the broader cryptocurrency market plunged as traders reacted to reports of President Trump nominating former Federal Reserve member Kevin Warsh to replace current Chair Jerome Powell when his term expires. Liquidations surged to a staggering $1.68 billion, with $1.57 billion in long positions. Overall. More than 270,000 traders were liquidated globally. 

Husky Inu AI (HINU) Set For Move To $0.00026031 

Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for the next price increase of its pre-launch phase. The latest price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025932 to $0.00026031. The regular increases in the value of the HINU token enable the project to continue fundraising while empowering its growing community and existing token holders. The primary goal of the pre-launch phase is to secure capital, fund platform improvements, undertake market initiatives, and support broader ecosystem expansion. 

The project’s official launch is on March 27, 2026. However, the team is open to moving the launch to an earlier or later date. The project team will conduct a series of review meetings to determine the project’s launch date. The first two review meetings were held on July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, while the third is scheduled for January 1, 2026. Fundraising has registered a substantial uptick over the past few weeks, overcoming a significant slowdown. Husky Inu AI has raised $924,405 so far, and could cross $1 million before its official launch.

Bitcoin (BTC) Plunges Towards $80,000 

Bitcoin (BTC) fell to a nine-month low of $81,311 as the cryptocurrency market witnessed yet another selloff. Total liquidations surged to over $1.68 billion, with long positions accounting for $1.57 billion. According to available data, over 270,000 traders were liquidated, pushing the crypto market cap down 5% and below the $3 trillion mark. The flagship cryptocurrency shed over $10,000 in 24 hours, dropping below the crucial $85,000 support level. Analysts had flagged this level, stating that a drop below this level could lead to further downside. 

Analysts believe the sudden collapse is due to reports that President Trump is considering nominating former Federal Reserve Board member Kevin Warsh to replace current Fed Chair Jerome Powell. The odds of Warsh becoming Trump’s nominee for Fed Chair jumped on prediction markets, with Polymarket odds soaring to 87%. 

Geopolitical Tensions Rising 

BTC is trading around a crucial support zone after plunging to a nine-month low. Trump’s potential Fed Chair nominee is not the only reason for the downturn. Tensions in the Middle East have escalated, with the US deploying another warship to the Middle East. However, President Trump has said he plans to speak with the leadership in Tehran. President Trump stated, 

“We have a lot of very big, very powerful ships sailing to Iran right now, and it would be great if we didn’t have to use them.”

Additionally, President Trump signed an executive order imposing tariffs on goods from countries that sell oil to Cuba, escalating global trade tensions further. 

Downturn Paints Crypto Red 

The broader cryptocurrency market also registered a substantial decline over the past 24 hours, losing the $3 trillion mark. Ethereum (ETH), which traded close to $3,000 on Thursday, plummeted to a low of $2,702 on Friday as selling pressure intensified. The altcoin is currently trading around $2,734, down nearly 8% over the past 24 hours. Ripple (XRP) reported similar numbers, dropping 7% to $1.75, while Solana (SOL) is down 6.50% at $115. Popular memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE) is down over 6%, and Cardano (ADA) is down over 7% at $0.324. 

Meanwhile, Chainlink (LINK) is down nearly 7%, trading around $10.81. Stellar (XLM), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), Toncoin (TON), and Polkadot (DOT) have also registered sharp declines over the past 24 hours.

Pervading gloom spread through the crypto market as Bitcoin crashed to $181,000 in early trading on Friday. $1.72 billion in total liquidations also helped to send market sentiment into extreme fear. Is the bear market now confirmed, or was this the final capitulation event before a strong rally?

$BTC price crashes through support and out of falling wedge

Source: TradingView

There is no denying it, Bitcoin is in a difficult place. The $86,000 horizontal support has now become resistance, and a bullish-looking falling wedge pattern has been negated. 

The $BTC price is now in double bottom territory, given that the last local low is at $80,600. The price could come down further to $80,000 and even below, and still be in a valid double bottom set-up. Yes, this could be grasping at straws, but if a capitulation bottom is to form, this would be an ideal pattern for a reversal back to the upside.

Bounce territory - will the bulls react?

Source: TradingView

Perhaps the first thing one notices when zooming out into the daily time frame is the ominous looking breakdown out of the bear flag (purple lines) and the small falling wedge (pale green). This does not bode well and could be the early stages of a much bigger move to the downside - probably in line with a bear market.

This said, there does still appear to be an opportunity for the bulls to claw their way back from here. Firstly, as already mentioned, the price has come down to a similar level to the last local bottom at around $80,000, so that raises the possibility of a double bottom.

Also, it can be seen that the $BTC price came down more or less perfectly to touch and retest the huge falling wedge pattern. This may lend its weight to a bounce. 

Bear targets point to a fearful roller coaster ride

Source: TradingView

In the weekly time frame the exit out of the bear flag still looks the scariest part of the chart from the perspective of the bulls. The price crashed through the bottom and rose to confirm the breakdown - a classic bear flag so far. 

At the bottom of the chart, there is something that no bull wants to see, and that’s a roll over of the Stochastic RSI indicator lines. If they head back down to their bottom limit, this would likely coincide with a price drop down to the low $70,000 region, or $69,000 which was the top of the last bull market. Even worse than this, the full measured move out of the bear flag would take the $BTC price down to $53,000. This could be a hell of a roller coaster ride.

In an industry where narratives shift like quicksand, it can be hard keeping tabs on what’s hot, what’s not, and where smart money is headed next. Take DePIN, for example, one of last year’s darlings: in early 2025 decentralized physical infrastructure networks were seemingly everywhere. One year on, is DePIN still in or has the public moved on to the next meta?

One man who knows is Micky Watkins. As Founder and CEO of World Mobile Group, he certainly has a dog in this fight – but he’s also got the data to support his assertions that DePIN is not only still in, but its best years lie ahead. In a wide-ranging interview, Micky explained to CryptoDaily why decentralized networks are proving more resilient than centralized alternatives and how they’re generating meaningful income for thousands of infra operators.

1. Let’s start at the top. In 2026, how’s DePIN doing?

If 2025 was the year of the pilot then 2026 is the year of scale now that the hype has abated and those who’ve stuck around are here for the tech rather than the tokens. People are now aware that DePIN isn’t just a sub-sector of crypto, but a better way to build the physical world.

That shift is now visible in the data across the sector. Independent research this year showed that DePIN revenues held up far better than DeFi or L1s through the last market cycle, with wireless networks in particular demonstrating real demand and repeat usage

While my focus is solely on World Mobile, I’ll defend the DePIN model to the hilt – and there’s ample evidence to back my assertion that it’s just getting started. For example, all of the core metrics we track for World Mobile, from wallets to AirNodes, reveal a resilient network that’s actually being used for the purpose for which it was designed.

People aren't using World Mobile because they heard that DePIN’s the next big thing. They’re using it because Big Wireless has failed them or because they’re attracted by the ability to earn while providing a useful service for their neighbors. In the U.S. alone, around 7% of the country is still unconnected, while in emerging markets that number is multiples higher. That’s a massive connectivity gap and a huge addressable market for DePIN to fill.

2. Nevertheless, would it be fair to say that some of the projects that sailed under the DePIN flag are now lagging when it comes to KPIs such as TVL or market cap? Why is this?

Reports of DePIN’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. What is dead, however, is the era of DePIN projects that only exist in a whitepaper or as a speculative token. One of the clearest lessons from the past year is that infrastructure networks cannot be evaluated using purely financial abstractions. The projects that are pulling ahead are the ones generating repeat usage and operational revenue, not those optimizing for emissions or short-term liquidity metrics. If your project relies on high token emissions or gimmicky hardware to keep people interested, you aren’t in the infrastructure game – you’re in the speculation game, and crypto already has enough of that.

As for KPIs such as market cap, a farmer in a wireless blackspot or a small business owner in a city don't check CoinGecko to see if their internet works. They care about uptime and service continuity. Unfortunately, the crypto industry tends to focus on metrics such as TVL, market cap, and token velocity at the exclusion of all else.

I get it: these are crude metrics, but they’re a starting point for gauging the fortunes of any DeFi project. But you can’t build a cell tower with TVL. We measure success by Daily Active Users – which are at almost 3 million now – Data Consumption (we’re seeing over 2.27M Petabytes of data moving across the network per day), and Uptime. Here, for example, user-operated AirNodes are proving more resilient than centralized solutions because if one node goes down, the mesh adapts.

3. You recently launched the World Mobile Network Builder to “decentralize the spirit of entrepreneurship” and enable anyone to deliver last-mile data connectivity. What’s the TL;DR on it and who benefits from this model?

In short, we’re turning network deployment into a permissionless entrepreneurial activity. Instead of waiting for a centralized operator to decide where to build, individuals and communities can claim a territory and deploy infrastructure, allowing them to earn directly from the traffic they serve. What’s important to stress is that Network Builder is not a financial abstraction. It is an operating model where rewards are only generated when real connectivity is deployed, maintained, and used.

For decades, the telecom industry was a closed shop that only the major players could enter. Network Builder effectively breaks that monopoly. The primary beneficiaries of this are local operators and underserved communities, but the ultimate winners are end users who get to enjoy cheaper and more reliable connectivity.

4. Can you explain what “Hexes” have to do with all this, and how Hex operators are rewarded for verified activity rather than passive ownership? Why is this distinction crucial for sustainable DePIN economics?

We’ve divided the real world into Hexes – geospatial units of about 252 square kilometers. When you obtain a Hex NFT in an auction, you’re securing an operating permit for that specific territory.

But what’s crucial here is that ownership alone pays zero. That design choice is intentional. Many infrastructure networks fail because they reward capital allocation rather than contribution, which leads to dormant assets and stalled growth. To earn rewards, a Hex Operator has to perform verified work. That means hitting subscriber milestones and coordinating AirNode deployments – all while maintaining network uptime.

This distinction is crucial because it ensures the network actually grows. Passive ownership leads to stagnation, whereas verified activity leads to viable infrastructure. Rewarding work rather than just rewarding speculators for holding an asset aligns the incentives of the operator with the needs of the user. It’s “Proof of Contribution” in the most literal sense.

Local communities or solo entrepreneurs that become Hex Operators are free to identify where coverage is needed, deploy the hardware, and grow their subscriber base. The community gets better data service and the network becomes more resilient because it's owned by the people who use it.

5. What about AirNodes, which are described as the backbone of World Mobile’s decentralized network. How do they differ functionally and economically from traditional telco towers, and what benefits do they bring to operators and end users?

Traditional towers are massive both in terms of size and deployment cost. They’re also central points of failure, since if one goes down, a whole zip code goes dark.

AirNodes are small and cost a fraction of a traditional tower. A single AirNode on its own can’t do a whole lot, but chain them together and you get a mesh that can provide national and even international coverage. And because they’re decentralized, if one node has an issue, the rest of the network picks up the slack. As the network densifies, this architecture becomes more defensible over time. Each additional AirNode increases redundancy, lowers marginal delivery costs, and strengthens the overall network rather than introducing new points of fragility.

But it’s not just the architecture of AirNodes that’s radically different to telco towers – so’s the economic model underpinning them. Instead of a single carrier owning all the infrastructure, thousands of operators own and operate pieces of the network. For operators, that means lower capex and direct revenue participation, while for users, it means denser coverage and 5G speeds at a price that actually reflects the cost of data.

6. We mentioned at the outset that we’d discuss data points concerning the World Mobile ecosystem, and whether these suggest that its network – and DePIN at large – still have room to grow. Can you touch upon some of these, specifically concerning metrics such as active users, uptime, and AirNodes?

The data is the ultimate proof that DePIN is actually delivering at scale. What matters most is not any single headline figure, but the consistency of usage across users, regions, and time. We’ve now crossed 100,000 AirNodes installed globally – in fact I believe we’re approaching 110K now. That’s a massive milestone, but the most important number I would argue is three million Daily Active Users.

To put that in perspective, the entire DePIN sector was estimated to have around 13 million active devices at the start of last year. World Mobile is now driving a huge chunk of real-world participation. We’re seeing over 2.25 petabytes of data consumption every 24 hours. Just as significantly is the fact that our uptime metrics are rivaling – and in some rural areas, beating – the centralized giants. 

When you put it all together, it’s clear that World Mobile isn’t just delivering the “decentralized” part of DePIN, but also the “physical infrastructure” part. This is infra that anyone can use – as millions are.

7. In the long term, how do you see decentralized telecom ecosystems coexisting or competing with traditional carriers?

To be honest, I see a hybrid future for the foreseeable. The reality is that traditional carriers aren’t about to be displaced anytime soon – their legacy footprint is too large and too deeply embedded for that to happen. But at the same time, they lack the economic incentives to reach the remaining data blackspots, which is where DePIN steps in. We are also seeing growing interest in decentralized networks as a complementary layer, particularly for traffic offload and targeted coverage where traditional buildouts are slow or economically unattractive.

World Mobile effectively acts as the sharing economy layer for telecom. We can go where they won't and deploy in hours where they take years. I suspect we’ll see more carriers offloading traffic to DePIN networks because it’s cheaper for them than building a new tower. While there’s a lot I dislike about Big Wireless, I’m not on a mission to administer the killshot that would finish them off for good. I’m more interested in replacing their failing parts with something that actually works – for everyone, all of the time, regardless of where they live.

The emergence of the internet and the digital economy it’s spawned has meant that birthplace is no longer a lottery; you can succeed regardless of where you live in the world. Connectivity is one of the few remaining barriers preventing all global citizens from competing on a level playing field and that’s where DePINs such as World Mobile have a vital role to play.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed the latest price increase of its pre-launch phase, rising from $0.000 25833 to $0.00025932. The project’s pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025, following the conclusion of the presale. 

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market continued its downtrend as major tokens traded in the red. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly crossed $90,000 on Wednesday but lost momentum after reaching $90,339 and fell to $87,677 before moving to its current level. Ethereum (ETH) followed a similar trajectory, briefly crossing $3,000 before dropping to its current level. Gains in AI, RWA assets, and CeFi were also short-lived as market sentiment remained in negative territory. 

Husky Inu AI (HINU) Reaches $0.00025932 

Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed the latest price increase of its pre-launch phase, rising from $0.00025636 to $0.00025735. The project’s much-talked-about pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025, following the conclusion of its presale. 

The pre-launch allows the project to continue its fundraising efforts while empowering its growing community and existing token holders. It also helps the team to secure capital, fund platform improvements, undertake market initiatives, and support broader ecosystem expansion. Husky Inu AI’s official launch date is now under three months away. However, the team remains open to the possibility of an earlier or later launch, depending on market conditions. The team will conduct a series of review meetings to determine the project’s launch date. The first two review meetings were held on July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, while the third is scheduled for January 1, 2026.

On the fundraising front, Husky Inu AI has raised $924,328 as of January 29, 2026. 

Markets Continue Downtrend 

The cryptocurrency market extended its downtrend as the gold and silver rallies continued to pull investors from Bitcoin and other digital assets. According to market watchers, the US Dollar’s recovery, combined with gold and silver’s staggering rally, has overshadowed the cryptocurrency market. 

Bitcoin (BTC) briefly reclaimed $90,000 on Wednesday, reaching an intraday high of $90,339 before dropping to $87,710. The flagship cryptocurrency is down over 1% in the past 24 hours, trading around $87,909. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) crossed $3,000 and reached $3,039 on Wednesday before giving up its gains and dropping to $2,937. The altcoin is currently trading around $2,945, down nearly 2%. Ripple (XRP) is down over 2% around $1.87, while Solana (SOL) is down almost 3% at $123. Dogecoin (DOGE) is up over 3% while Cardano (ADA) is down 2% at $0.121. 

Chainlink (LINK), Stellar (XLM), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), Toncoin (TON), and Polkadot (DOT) have also registered heavy declines over the past 24 hours. 

Federal Reserve Keeps Interest Rates Unchanged 

The Federal Reserve kept interest rates unchanged on Wednesday, a decision that likely contributed to Bitcoin’s and the broader crypto market’s decline on Wednesday. The Fed stated that job numbers have remained low while inflation has been above acceptable limits. 

“Job gains have remained low, and the unemployment rate has shown some signs of stabilization. Inflation remains somewhat elevated.”

However, Trump appointees Stephen Miran and Chris Waller dissented with the decision, preferring a 25 basis point rate cut. BTC remained pinned below $90,000 following the decision, which knocked the wind out of any expected recovery. Prediction markets had put the odds of a January rate cut at 40%, but hopes of a rate cut quickly faded, with markets pricing in no change to the rates at 99% heading into the meeting.

The Ethereum meme token plans to deploy treasury funds supporting Trump's Nobel bid after Machado medal handoff.

Key Notes

Donald Trump leads Polymarket's 2026 Nobel Peace Prize market at 14%, ahead of Yulia Navalnaya at 7%

María Corina Machado presented Trump with her 2025 Nobel medal on Jan. 15 at the White House

N4T (Nobel For Trump) plans to allocate treasury funds toward advocacy efforts supporting Trump's nomination

Donald Trump holds the leading position in the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize market on Polymarket at 14%. The platform, where users bet on real-world outcomes, has recorded over $3.3 million in trading volume on this question alone.

Trump's odds rose after Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado presented him with her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize medal during a White House meeting on Jan. 15. Machado called the gesture recognition of Trump's "commitment to the freedom of the Venezuelan people" following the U.S. intervention in Venezuela on Jan. 3, according to The Guardian.

"What he has done is historic," Machado said prior to the meeting.

Multiple World Leaders Have Submitted Nominations

Trump's 14% odds place him ahead of Russian opposition figure Yulia Navalnaya at 7% and UNRWA at 4%. Navalnaya, widow of the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny, emerged as a prominent voice following his death in February 2024. UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, has faced funding challenges after several countries paused contributions earlier this year. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy holds 2% as the war with Russia continues into its fourth year.

Argentine President Javier Milei formally nominated Trump for the 2026 prize in October 2025, citing his "extraordinary contribution to international peace." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a nomination in July 2025, pointing to the Abraham Accords and Gaza ceasefire. Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet followed in August 2025, crediting Trump's role in the Thailand-Cambodia border resolution.

N4T Token Commits Treasury to Nobel Advocacy

The market momentum has drawn strategic action from N4T (Nobel For Trump), an Ethereum-based token trading under the tagline "Pump Peace, Not War."

The project has announced plans to deploy treasury funds toward supporting Trump's Nobel nomination through what it calls the CryptoDiplomacy initiative. According to the project's whitepaper, this means funding "a blockchain-based recognition platform celebrating individuals and communities that promote peace."

N4T operates with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and liquidity locked for 9-12 months. The project explicitly disclaims any official affiliation with Trump or the Nobel Committee, describing its name as "a narrative device" for cultural commentary.

The roadmap includes a DAO governance system, a voting structure where token holders collectively decide how funds are spent. This positions N4T's community to direct future advocacy spending as Trump's Nobel narrative develops through the October 2026 announcement.

Bitcoin markets came under renewed pressure in late January 2026 as prices slipped toward the $88,000 level, extending a decline of more than 20% from highs above $126,000 reached in late 2025. The move has been driven by tightening macro conditions, political uncertainty, and a shift in institutional positioning. While near-term price action has unsettled sentiment, the pullback has also prompted a reassessment of how capital is allocated across the Bitcoin ecosystem, including early-stage infrastructure projects such as Bitcoin Everlight.

Macroeconomic Signals Reassert Influence on Bitcoin

Bitcoin has shown increased sensitivity to traditional macro indicators as liquidity conditions tightened into early 2026. Treasury yields and interest rate expectations have played a larger role in short-term positioning, with traders adjusting exposure ahead of the Federal Open Market Committee meeting on January 27–28.

Political risk has compounded macro pressure. A January 31 US government funding deadline revived concerns over a potential shutdown, recalling the 43-day shutdown in 2025 that coincided with a sharp contraction in crypto liquidity. Additional uncertainty tied to renewed tariff rhetoric has reinforced a broader risk-off posture across global markets.

Institutional flows reflected this shift. US spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded more than $1.3 billion in net outflows during the final week of January, the largest weekly withdrawal since February 2025. The move coincided with forced liquidations in derivatives markets, amplifying downside pressure in thin trading conditions.

Bitcoin Everlight as Bitcoin-Native Infrastructure

Periods of market stress often redirect attention toward network fundamentals. Bitcoin Everlight has gained visibility as a lightweight transaction layer built to operate above Bitcoin without modifying Bitcoin’s protocol or consensus.

Everlight processes transactions through a dedicated routing layer designed to support faster confirmation and predictable micro-fees, while Bitcoin remains the final settlement layer. Transactions confirmed within Everlight can be optionally anchored back to the Bitcoin blockchain, preserving alignment with Bitcoin’s security model.

How Everlight Nodes Operate and Earn Compensation

Everlight nodes are not full Bitcoin nodes and do not store or validate the Bitcoin blockchain. Their function is limited to transaction routing, signature verification, balance checks within the Everlight layer, and enforcement of transaction ordering.

Transactions are confirmed through a quorum-based process across node clusters, enabling confirmation within seconds. Participation requires staking BTCL tokens, which establishes eligibility and determines participation tier. The network supports Light, Core, and Prime tiers, with higher tiers unlocking priority routing roles. A 14-day lock period applies to staked tokens to support predictable network behavior.

Node compensation is derived from routing micro-fees and calculated using uptime consistency, routing volume, and performance metrics such as latency and accuracy. Nodes that fail to meet required thresholds lose routing priority until performance standards are restored.

Security Reviews and Verification Standards

Bitcoin Everlight incorporates third-party security reviews and identity verification as part of its participation framework. Independent technical assessments include the SpyWolf Audit and the SolidProof Audit, covering system architecture and contract logic.

Team accountability is established through the SpyWolf KYC Verification and the Vital Block KYC Validation. These measures define responsibility for development and network operation without extending beyond the Everlight layer.

Tokenomics, Presale Structure, and Market Context

BTCL has a fixed total supply of 21,000,000,000 tokens. Allocation is defined as 45% for the public presale, 20% for node rewards, 15% for liquidity, 10% for the team under vesting conditions, and 10% for ecosystem and treasury use. BTCL is used for transaction routing fees, node participation, performance incentives, and anchoring operations. 

The presale is structured across 20 stages, beginning at $0.0008 in stage one and progressing to $0.0110 in the final stage. Presale allocations unlock 20% at the token generation event, with the remaining balance released linearly over six to nine months. Team allocations follow a 12-month cliff and a 24-month vesting schedule.

As markets reassess risk under macro and political strain, early-stage infrastructure tied to Bitcoin’s transaction activity is being examined alongside price exposure. Bitcoin Everlight is positioned within that evaluation as infrastructure designed to operate through changing market conditions without altering Bitcoin’s core protocol.

Buy BTCL during the public presale to gain early access to the Bitcoin Everlight transaction network.

Defying the efforts of the bears, the $BTC price rose all the way back to the major $90,000 level and was rejected from a huge wall of resistance. Was this the last chance of a breakout from the bulls? Is the general market consensus of a large reversal about to take place?

Strong rejection at major $90,000 resistance

Source: TradingView

As the $BTC price rose to confirm the breakdown of the bear flag, and kept on going, there was a fleeting moment of excitement for the bulls. The price rallied up as far as the $90,000 horizontal resistance, but was met there with solid reality and a strong rejection.

It can be seen in the 4-hour chart above that as the price meandered up on its way to $90,000, it formed a relatively short ascending channel. Once the rejection occurred, the price fell to the bottom of the channel and then tumbled out. A measured move would take the price down to just below $87,000.

As the price is now falling out of the channel, it has paused and is perhaps forming a small bear flag. If this is the case, the measured move from this flag would bring the price down to nearly $85,000.

Notwithstanding, amidst these small bearish patterns, a bigger pattern has emerged, and this one is bullish. It comes in the form of a falling wedge (light green triangle). If the $BTC price is held up at the major horizontal support, plus the bottom of this wedge pattern, a bounce could happen and send the price to the top of the wedge and a potential breakout. The measured move for this bullish breakout could send the price to a new local high at around $98,000.

Two falling wedges

Moving out into the daily time frame gives us more of a perspective on the size of the falling wedge pattern. Although extremely small in comparison to its huge neighbour on the left, it can still pack a punch and send the $BTC price up to just below $100,000 - near the top of the bear flag. 

Could it be that this smaller wedge could open the path to a much greater measured move out of the large falling wedge already mentioned? The move out of this wedge takes the price right up almost to the 8-year trendline that can just be seen at the top left of the chart. It could also mean a potential new all-time high.

This bull market following the bull market of 2021?

Source: TradingView

Zooming out into the very high time frame of the monthly, we can perhaps compare the 2021 bull market with this one. Firstly, we can see that when the $BTC price moved up to its first peak in 2019 it then went sideways and down for an extended period of time. Could this correspond to the 8-month bull flag in 2024? From here there was a first major peak at the beginning of 2021, which could match the peak in early 2025, and then finally the higher peak of the bull market top towards the end of 2021 - could this reconcile to the all-time high later in 2025?

Of course, it could be argued that at least one of the previous bull market cycles did not act in a similar way. Also, as Bitcoin starts to mature, it could be that it’s starting to behave differently.

One thing to bear in mind, and it’s not a technical analysis factor, is that around $9 trillion needs to be printed this year in order to service and roll over a huge chunk of US debt. While this debasement of the currency is occurring, and assets like gold and silver are shooting ever higher, is Bitcoin just going to keep on foundering down into a year-long bear market? Food for thought.

After weeks of turbulence tied to derivatives-driven trading, DeLorean $DMC, the official on-chain token of DeLorean Motor Company, has seen a sharp comeback, even as broader crypto markets remain in a downturn.

In the days following the removal of $DMC perpetuals trading on Binance Futures, the token surged more than 200%, a move DeLorean Labs  says reflects long-suppressed organic participation finally re-emerging after leverage-heavy market dynamics were removed. 

For DeLorean Labs, the rebound is less about short-term price action and more about a broader market structure correction — one the team argues had been holding the project back since its earliest exposure. 

A Derivatives-First Introduction

$DMC first entered the market in June 2025 through Binance’s Alpha program, which introduced the token into an incentives- and derivatives-heavy environment before spot-led liquidity had time to develop. Prior to $DMC’s Alpha listing, Binance had publicly acknowledged Sybil-related issues within its Alpha points system and stated that mitigation efforts were underway. Follow-up communications after $DMC went live indicated those issues had not yet been fully resolved.

According to DeLorean Labs, the combination of unresolved incentive dynamics and derivatives-first exposure created early selling pressure that did not reflect the project’s fundamentals, roadmap, or long-term community conviction.

That imbalance intensified last week when Binance removed $DMC perpetuals trading. As derivatives positions unwound, the market experienced sharp volatility, which was further amplified as additional perpetuals venues followed suit. DeLorean Labs maintains that these moves were driven by market mechanics tied to derivatives exposure — not any change in development, partnerships, or execution.

Community Steps In — Twice

What followed surprised even long-time observers.

As volatility peaked, the DeLorean community rallied — not once, but twice — with long-term holders stepping in during periods of extreme dislocation. Within days, $DMC rebounded sharply, erasing losses and posting triple-digit gains.

Market observers have likened the episode to moments in traditional markets where aligned retail communities reshaped price discovery around iconic brands — including GameStop — highlighting the influence communities can exert when leverage-driven dynamics step aside.

“From the beginning, we’ve believed that how a token trades matters just as much as why it exists,” said Evan Kuhn, CEO of DeLorean Labs. “Perpetuals can serve a purpose in mature markets with deep spot liquidity, but when they arrive too early, they tend to distort price discovery and pull focus away from building. Stepping away from derivatives-first dynamics creates healthier conditions for long-term participants and the community.”

More Than a Token Narrative

DeLorean Labs argues that focusing solely on price misses the bigger picture.

In May 2025, DeLorean launched the world’s first on-chain vehicle marketplace, bringing real car sales on-chain and enabling blockchain-based purchasing, ownership records, and marketplace participation tied directly to the DeLorean ecosystem. The initiative positioned DeLorean as the first major automotive manufacturer to take real-world vehicle commerce natively on-chain.

The DeLorean brand is also the first major car company to launch a native token and the largest global consumer brand to have a live ticker on CoinMarketCap — a distinction that brings both visibility and heightened scrutiny.

A Broader Industry Question

Zooming out, DeLorean Labs sees this episode as emblematic of a wider issue in crypto: centralized derivatives and incentive programs exerting disproportionate influence over early-stage token markets.

As the industry matures, the company expects growing skepticism toward derivatives-first listings and greater emphasis on spot-led participation that rewards builders and aligned communities over extractive trading dynamics.

“Crypto doesn’t need fewer ambitious projects,” Kuhn said. “It needs better foundations.”

For DeLorean Labs, the $DMC rally isn’t a victory lap — it’s a signal that when market structure aligns with fundamentals, communities can help carry ambitious projects into the future.

January 2026

In response to the Shibarium exploit, DAO members approved an operational wind-down and community-led transition beyond Shibarium

K9 Finance DAO announced the DAO-approved, orderly, and permanent sunset of all products deployed on Shibarium, effective February 25, 2026. The decision was made following the September 12, 2025 Shibarium bridge exploit and the subsequent determination that Shibarium no longer meets the minimum decentralisation, security, or economic standards required for responsible K9 DAO operations.

This decision was reached through a formal governance vote of K9 DAO token holders, with record-setting participation, reflecting the seriousness of the circumstances and the community’s commitment to resolving the situation transparently and decisively.

DAO-Led Decision With Record Participation

K9 Finance DAO is, and has always been, a fully decentralised autonomous organisation.

After exhausting all reasonable recovery, remediation, and negotiation paths, the DAO was presented with a structured set of options. Following extensive public discussion, KNINE holders voted to sunset all Shibarium-based products, marking an unfortunate but necessary outcome driven by a number of factors. 

This decision was not taken lightly. It represents the collective judgment of the community, recorded on-chain, after months of diligence, analysis, and engagement.

A Record of Leadership, Delivery, and Ecosystem Contribution

A history of K9 Finance DAO shows that they historically performed well. The DAO executed against a clearly defined roadmap — on time, on budget, and with over-delivery — supported by ecosystem partnerships and external validation.

Some of these highlights include:

Record-setting total value locked (TVL) on the Shiba Inu Layer 2

The largest DeFi protocol on Shibarium with the most daily active users (DAU); with over 500,000 users across its products

The most widely used utility in the Shiba Inu ecosystem

Material SHIB burn contributions are larger than any other Shibarium products

A DAO-managed budget that gave the product operational runway for many years with dedicated upgrades & maintenance, while also exploring expansion opportunities through DAO-voted exploration funding programmes

A fully decentralised contributor base exceeding 1,000 active DAO participants that produced open source, audited smart contracts across all product lines

In 2025, K9 Finance DAO was selected as a recipient of a $200,000 Google Cloud Grant for Web3 Startups, awarded in recognition of its software development, validator infrastructure, analytics tooling, and open-source contributions.

Audited, Open-Source Infrastructure Left for the Community

K9 Finance DAO has consistently prioritised audited, open-source development.

As part of the sunset process, all Shibarium-based K9 products — including smart contracts, documentation, and deployment tooling — will remain fully audited, open source, and publicly accessible.

This enables the Shibarium team or any independent community member to host, operate, or modify these systems at their own discretion, expense, and business model.

Following the sunset, the K9 DAO Foundation will no longer be responsible for hosting, maintaining, or operating these services.

Root Cause of the Exploit and Independent Findings

On September 12, 2025, the Shibarium bridge was exploited following the compromise of 10 out of 12 validators, all operated by the Shibarium team. K9 Finance DAO’s validator was not compromised.

Independent assessments of validator decentralisation and operational risk concluded that validator concentration at this level constitutes a systemic security failure and is not an appropriate environment for DAO-level financial infrastructure.

Approximately 25% of the total KNINE supply was removed from the bridge and remains unrecovered, leaving the Shibarium deployment economically impaired and under-collateralised. These findings materially informed the DAO’s decision to sunset.

Exhaustive Recovery Efforts

Following the exploit, K9 Finance DAO undertook extensive good-faith recovery efforts, including:

Emergency on-chain actions to blacklist stolen tokens

Joint bounty initiatives with Shib-affiliated contributors

On-chain communication with the attacker

Independent forensic tracing of stolen assets

Escalation to centralised exchanges

Public disclosure of findings when progress stalled

Despite these efforts, the stolen assets were not recovered, the bridge remained closed, and no finalised compensation plan or remediation timeline was delivered.

The Shiba Inu team publicly announced that they would compensate all impacted users, but their compensation plan consisted of a product called a Shib Owes You (SOU) program in which impacted users would receive an NFT on-chain that represented the amount that they were owed. They announced their recovery efforts would be made incrementally to these NFT holders, and impacted users are still eligible for Shiba Inu’s compensation plan and should contact Shiba Inu directly regarding these. 

Orderly Sunset, Liquidity Migration, and Decentralised Transition

As approved by DAO vote:

All Shibarium-based K9 products will sunset on February 25, 2026

Liquidity currently deployed on Shibarium will be migrated to a new chain

Operational bottlenecks will be handed to the community to further decentralize control

K9’s full-time development and operations contributors will assist with product shutdowns, open-source releases, and the delivery of a fully audited membership token and secure claim portal on a new chain.

A new decentralised website hub will be launched and hosted as a permanent community archive and historical record of K9 DAO.

Following this transition, the continuation and evolution of K9 will rest entirely with the community.

DAO-Governed Migration and Claims Process

Following DAO approval:

K9 membership tokens will be minted on a new chain

Tokens will represent DAO membership and governance rights

A claim portal is expected prior to May 30, 2026

All affected users will be notified through official K9 channels

Any claims related to losses arising from the Shibarium bridge exploit must be addressed to the Shibarium team, as K9 Finance DAO does not control or operate Shibarium infrastructure.

Conclusion 

K9 Finance DAO is a truly sad story. The DAO delivered on its roadmap, exceeded its mandate, and upheld the highest standards of decentralised development.

This sunset is not a failure of the DAO — it is the consequence of infrastructure conditions that no longer meet the requirements of trustless, community-governed systems.

K9 leaves behind a legacy of audited code, open infrastructure, and a decentralised future — now governed entirely by its community.

Slots remain the most widely played games in online casinos. Their simple mechanics, fast-paced gameplay, and wide variety of themes have made them a central feature across digital gambling platforms. However, despite their popularity, slot games are also among the most misunderstood in terms of how they actually function.

To help players better understand slots beyond surface-level gameplay, Crypto.Casino has published new educational content explaining how slot games work, what rules matter, and where common misconceptions arise.

Why Slot Games Are Often Misunderstood

Many players approach slots believing outcomes are influenced by timing, patterns, or previous results. These assumptions are reinforced by animations, bonus features, and near-miss visuals that can create misleading impressions about control or predictability.

According to Crypto.Casino, these misunderstandings are common because slot mechanics are rarely explained clearly. Without education, players may misinterpret randomness, volatility, and long-term risk.

Understanding Slot Rules and Mechanics

At their core, slot games are governed by mathematical models that determine how symbols appear and how payouts are calculated. Concepts such as paylines, volatility, and return-to-player percentages shape how a slot behaves over time, even though individual spins remain unpredictable.

Crypto.Casino explains these fundamentals in detail in Slots: How to Play, Rules, and Strategy Guide, offering a clear breakdown of how modern slot games are designed and how outcomes are generated.

The guide focuses on understanding structure rather than promoting expectations.

Strategy Myths and Realistic Expectations

Slots are often surrounded by myths related to timing strategies, machine cycles, or “hot” and “cold” games. While these ideas are widespread, they do not reflect how slot algorithms actually operate.

Crypto.Casino emphasizes that no strategy can alter the underlying probability structure of slot games. This clarification is part of the broader educational mission outlined at Crypto.Casino, where factual explanations take precedence over popular narratives.

Education as a Tool for Risk Awareness

Crypto.Casino operates strictly as an informational platform and does not host games or accept wagers. Its role is to help players understand how casino games work so they can approach real money play with clearer expectations.

By publishing resources like Slots: How to Play, Rules, and Strategy Guide, the platform aims to reduce confusion and help players recognize the difference between entertainment and control.

Why Slot Education Matters Today

As online slots continue to dominate casino traffic, more players are engaging with games that feel intuitive but are mathematically complex. Without proper understanding, players may misinterpret risk, randomness, and long-term outcomes.

Crypto.Casino positions itself as a long-term reference point for players seeking accurate explanations of slot mechanics and real money gaming risk. More educational content and research are available directly through Crypto.Casino, where the focus remains on clarity, transparency, and informed decision-making.

Bitcoin and Ethereum remain the largest crypto assets by market capitalization, but both enter 2026 after peaking in late 2025. Bitcoin reached an all-time high near $126,000 before retracing, while Ethereum also failed to sustain upside momentum following its prior cycle highs. As both assets trade within mature market structures, attention has shifted away from base-layer dominance and toward where new infrastructure is still being built. Bitcoin Everlight is entering this environment as an early-stage transaction-layer project aligned with Bitcoin, positioned at a different point in the lifecycle than established assets.

Bitcoin and Ethereum Have Already Priced In Maturity

By 2026, Bitcoin and Ethereum operate inside mature market structures. Their liquidity depth, derivative markets, institutional access, and global awareness reflect years of price discovery and adoption. New capital entering these assets influences valuation and volatility, not the role the asset plays inside the broader ecosystem.

This maturity limits where structural change can still occur. Improvements at the base layer refine existing behavior, but they do not reset the market’s understanding of what each asset represents. As a result, capital looking for earlier positioning increasingly shifts away from base assets toward infrastructure that has not yet reached saturation.

Where Bitcoin Everlight Fits in the Current Cycle

Bitcoin Everlight enters the market at a stage Bitcoin and Ethereum passed years ago. The project operates as transaction-layer infrastructure built around unresolved usability constraints without altering Bitcoin’s protocol or settlement rules. Bitcoin remains the final settlement layer, while Everlight focuses on routing transactions that do not require block-level confirmation timing.

Everlight does not introduce a smart contract execution environment and does not compete with Ethereum’s application layer. Its scope is narrow by design, centered on transaction throughput, confirmation speed, and predictable micro-fees. This places Everlight earlier in the infrastructure lifecycle, where adoption and network formation matter more than price history.

Everlight Nodes and Network Participation

Everlight Nodes handle transaction routing and lightweight validation across the network. To operate a node, participants stake Bitcoin Everlight (BTCL), which establishes eligibility and aligns operators with network performance. Once active, nodes receive network rewards tied directly to measurable contribution, including uptime, routing volume, and confirmation reliability.

Base rewards fall within a 4–8% range and fluctuate with overall network usage and the level of node participation. Compensation is not fixed and increases or decreases in line with actual routing demand. A 14-day lock period applies to node participation, supporting consistent network behavior while preserving operational flexibility.

The network distinguishes between Light, Core, and Prime participation tiers. Higher tiers carry greater routing responsibility and receive priority in transaction flow. Nodes that fall below uptime or performance thresholds lose routing priority, which reduces compensation. Continued underperformance results in removal from active routing until operational standards are met.

Audits, Verification, and Operational Disclosure

Bitcoin Everlight’s smart contracts and operational components have undergone external security reviews, including the SpyWolf Audit and the SolidProof Audit. These assessments review contract structure and logic flow during the project’s presale phase, prior to full network deployment.

Team identity verification has been completed through SpyWolf KYC Verification and Vital Block KYC Validation. These disclosures establish operational accountability at an early stage without implying guarantees or absolute security outcomes.

Tokenomics and Presale Structure

Bitcoin Everlight uses a fixed supply of 21,000,000,000 BTCL. Allocation is defined upfront: 45% for the public presale, 20% for node rewards, 15% for liquidity, 10% for the team under vesting conditions, and 10% for ecosystem and treasury use.

The presale is structured across 20 stages, beginning at $0.0008 and concluding at $0.0110. Presale allocations unlock with 20% at the token generation event, followed by linear vesting over six to nine months. Team allocations follow a 12-month cliff and 24-month vesting schedule. BTCL utility includes transaction routing fees, node participation, performance incentives, and optional anchoring operations.

Why Some Investors Are Looking Earlier

Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate market capitalization, but their growth phase as base assets is already defined. Infrastructure that operates earlier in the transaction lifecycle remains less saturated and more sensitive to adoption dynamics. Bitcoin Everlight sits inside that earlier phase, aligned with Bitcoin’s settlement model while targeting transaction-layer demand before base-layer constraints dictate user behavior.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for the next price increase of its pre-launch phase. The price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025833 to $0.00025932. The project’s pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025.

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market inched marginally higher over the past 24 hours as most tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), traded in positive territory.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) Set For Move To $0.00025932

Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for the next price increase of its pre-launch phase. The latest price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025833 to $0.00025932. The regular increases in the value of the HINU token enable the project to continue fundraising while empowering its growing community and existing token holders. The primary goal of the pre-launch phase is to secure capital, fund platform improvements, undertake market initiatives, and support broader ecosystem expansion.

The project’s official launch is on March 27, 2026. However, the team is open to moving the launch to an earlier or later date. The project team will conduct a series of review meetings to determine the project’s launch date. The first two review meetings were held on July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, while the third is scheduled for January 1, 2026. Fundraising has registered a substantial uptick over the past few weeks, after overcoming a significant slowdown. Husky Inu AI has raised $922,464 so far, and could cross $1 million before its official launch.

Markets Recover, But Bitcoin (BTC) Remains Below $90,000

The cryptocurrency market continued its slow recovery, rising just over 1% in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) registering notable increases. BTC has seen a steady climb, rising from a low of $87,268 on Tuesday to reclaim $88,000 and move to $89,389. The flagship cryptocurrency is trading around $89,111 during the ongoing session, up nearly 1% over the past 24 hours. However, it is struggling to build momentum and remains pinned below $90,000 as markets look for a catalyst, likely the earnings reports or the Fed rate cut decision.

Meanwhile, ETH has posted a substantially stronger uptick over the past 24 hours. The altcoin is on the verge of reclaiming $3,000, up over 2% at $2,997. Ripple (XRP) is up nearly 1% at $1.91, while Solana (SOL) is up almost 2% at $126. Popular memecoin Dogecoin (DOGE) is up 3%, while Cardano (ADA) is also trading in positive territory at $0.357. However, Chainlink (LINK) is marginally down, trading around $11.92. Stellar (XLM), Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Toncoin (TON) are also trading in positive territory, while Polkadot (DOT) is marginally down at $1.85.

Markets Brace For Fed Rate Cut Decision

The cryptocurrency and traditional markets are bracing for two key events this week: the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision and results from big tech companies, including the Magnificent Seven. Gold continued its unprecedented rally to record levels, pushing above $5,200 and extending a rally that reinforces its status as a hedge against inflation, market uncertainty, and geopolitical risks. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 rose to a record close on Tuesday, marking its fifth consecutive positive day as investors positioned themselves for a key week.

The crypto market extended its gains for a second day, with most tokens trading in positive territory. BTC will attempt to reclaim the $90,000 mark while ETH is on the verge of reclaiming $3,000 after a substantial recovery over the past 24 hours.

Something of a rally since Sunday has seen the Bitcoin price rise to touch and confirm the bottom of its bear flag. Is the next big leg down about to happen, or could a weakening US dollar still save the day for Bitcoin?

DXY falling through multi-year trendline

Source: TradingView

The US Dollar Index is showing that the dollar is currently falling through a trendline that began in 2008. If the breakdown is confirmed at the end of this week, a drop to just under $90 could be the target. The outcome of such a move would be to make it easier for the US to pay the interest on its debt this year, but also it would send assets higher. This is where Bitcoin could benefit.

The market believes that rates will remain unchanged for the FOMC meeting later today. However, with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell due to leave his position in May, the next Trump-preferred chairman is likely to speed up rate cuts, also leading to an advantageous environment for the likes of Bitcoin.

$BTC price confirms bear flag breakdown

Source: TradingView

The 4-hour time frame for $BTC reveals that the price has just managed to touch the bottom trendline of the bear flag. Unless the price rises from here and gets back inside the bear flag, the breakdown has now been confirmed.

So will this turn into the next big leg down? This is certainly a possibility. All the short-term momentum indicators, out as far as the 12-hour, are at the top and ready to come back down. Some kind of a reversal from here is much more probable than not. 

In favour of the bulls is that the $BTC price has broken through a downtrend line, and has maintained above. As can be seen in the chart, there is another, firmer trendline, not far from the price. If this can also be broken it would further help the cause of the bulls.

Be that as it may, if the price falls below the last local low of $86,000, then $80,000 becomes a distinct possibility.

Next downward impulse - how far will it go?

Source: TradingView

Moving out into the daily time frame brings the bear flag more into focus. It can be observed that so far a classic breakdown is taking place. The $BTC price has fallen out of the flag and has come back to confirm it. A downward impulse would seem to be the most probable next move. It just remains to be seen how far down this will go.

Could the support at $86,000 succeed in making this a very shallow reversal? This isn’t likely, but if Fed Chair Powell is particularly dovish in today’s FOMC meeting, who knows?

If the measured move out of the channel takes place, the price would go down to around $80,000. This could either then become a double bottom, or the price could continue on to the $74,000, down to $69,000 horizontal supports, which mark the top of the 2021 bull market.

$86,000 is very strong support level

Source: TradingView

Moving out further into the weekly time frame, it becomes apparent that the $86,000 horizontal support is actually a very strong one. Looking left from the current $BTC price, it can be seen that there are a lot of touches at this level. This means that if the bulls can somehow hold the price above by the end of this week, an upside rally could still develop.

On the other side of the coin, if this level is broken to the downside, a quick plunge to the 2021 bull market high would be a real possibility.

At the bottom of the chart, the Stochastic RSI indicators still have the blue fast line above the orange slow line. If this persists, there is still hope left for the bulls.

As crypto casinos continue to grow in popularity, one area consistently causes confusion for players: withdrawals. While deposits are often instant and seamless, withdrawing real money from crypto casinos can involve additional steps, technical requirements, and potential risks that many users do not fully understand.

To help address this issue, Crypto.Casino has released educational content focused on helping players navigate the withdrawal process safely and avoid common mistakes that can lead to delays or lost funds.

Why Withdrawals Are a Common Problem Area

For many players, withdrawing winnings from a crypto casino is the first time they encounter the platform’s operational limits. Network confirmations, wallet compatibility, minimum withdrawal thresholds, and verification steps can all affect how smoothly a withdrawal is processed.

New players often assume that because crypto deposits are fast, withdrawals will function the same way. In reality, withdrawal procedures vary significantly between platforms, and misunderstandings are one of the most common sources of player complaints.

According to Crypto.Casino, a lack of clear education is one of the main reasons withdrawal issues continue to occur across the industry.

Understanding the Withdrawal Process Before Playing

Withdrawing from a crypto casino typically involves more than simply clicking a button. Players must understand how wallet addresses work, how blockchain confirmations affect processing time, and how platform-specific rules influence approval.

Crypto.Casino has published a step-by-step educational guide explaining how this process works in practical terms. The full tutorial is available at How to Withdraw Winnings From Crypto Casinos: Step by Step.

Rather than offering guarantees, the guide focuses on helping players understand what to expect and how to reduce avoidable errors.

Real Money Gaming Risks Often Appear at Withdrawal

While gameplay risk is widely discussed, operational risk often becomes visible only when players attempt to withdraw funds. Issues such as unclear terms, processing delays, or unexpected requirements can turn a positive experience into a frustrating one.

Crypto.Casino emphasizes that understanding withdrawal rules before engaging in real money gaming is one of the most effective ways to manage risk. Education, not assumptions, plays a critical role in protecting players.

This perspective is central to the platform’s broader mission outlined on Crypto.Casino, where transparency and clarity are prioritized over promotional messaging.

Education Over Assumptions

Crypto.Casino operates as an informational platform and does not process deposits or withdrawals itself. Its role is to explain how systems work, where risks exist, and what players should verify before engaging with any platform.

By publishing detailed tutorials like How to Withdraw Winnings From Crypto Casinos: Step by Step, the platform aims to reduce confusion and empower players with practical knowledge rather than marketing claims.

Why Withdrawal Education Matters Now

As more players enter the crypto casino space, withdrawal-related misunderstandings are likely to increase. Without clear guidance, the same issues are repeated — often by users who believed they understood the process.

Crypto.Casino positions itself as a long-term educational resource for players seeking clarity in real money environments. Additional guides and explanations are available directly through Crypto.Casino, where the focus remains on accuracy, safety, and informed decision-making.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed the latest price increase of its pre-launch phase, rising from $0.00025735 to $0.00025833. The project’s pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025, following the conclusion of the presale.

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market rebounded as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other tokens traded in positive territory. The rebound was led by the GameFi sector as investor interest in play-to-earn tokens returned. Axie Infinity (AXS) registered an uptick of 37% over the past 24 hours, while BTC reclaimed $88,000, recovering from Monday’s low of $87,135.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) Reaches $0.00025833

Husky Inu AI (HINU) has completed the latest price increase of its pre-launch phase, rising from $0.00025539 to $0.00025636. The project’s much-talked-about pre-launch phase began on April 1, 2025, following the conclusion of its presale.

The pre-launch allows the project to continue its fundraising efforts while empowering its growing community and existing token holders. It also helps the team to secure capital, fund platform improvements, undertake market initiatives, and support broader ecosystem expansion. Husky Inu AI’s official launch date is now under three months away. However, the team remains open to the possibility of an earlier or later launch, depending on market conditions. The team will conduct a series of review meetings to determine the project’s launch date. The first two review meetings were held on July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, while the third is scheduled for January 1, 2026.

Husky Inu AI has raised $922,464 so far, and could cross $1 million before its official launch.

Crypto Market Rebounds

The cryptocurrency market returned to positive territory on Tuesday as investor appetite returned. Bitcoin (BTC) recovered from Monday’s low of $87,135 to reclaim $88,000 and reach an intraday high of $88,760 before moving to its current level of $88,240. The flagship cryptocurrency is up 0.40% over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) reclaimed $2,900 late on Monday, reaching an intraday high of $2,946 before moving to its current level of $2,926, up almost 1% over the past 24 hours. Ripple (XRP) is also up nearly 1% at $1.89, while Solana (SOL) is up 1.41% at $124.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is also trading in positive territory, up 0.66% at $0.122, while Cardano (ADA) is up over 1%, trading around $0.351. Chainlink (LINK) is also up over 1% at $11.97. Litecoin (LTC), Hedera (HBAR), and Polkadot (DOT) have also registered notable increases over the past 24 hours. However, Stellar (XLM) and Toncoin (TON) bucked the bullish trend and are trading in bearish territory.

Stablecoin Supply Drop Could Stall Crypto Market Recovery

However, a substantial drop in stablecoin supply has sparked concerns that the latest market recovery could stall as it may lack the liquidity needed to gain momentum. According to Santiment data, the combined market capitalization of the 12 largest stablecoins has declined by over $2 billion over the past ten days. Bitcoin (BTC) fell over 8% in the same time period, suggesting that capital may be leaving the crypto market rather than remaining invested in stable assets.

The drop in stablecoin supply is alarming because stablecoins tend to grow during pullbacks, helping preserve buying power within the larger crypto ecosystem. However, this cycle has seen a difference, with investors converting digital assets back into fiat currency and reallocating them towards low-risk assets. The shift is very visible in current market action, with gold and silver surging to record levels while risk assets like Bitcoin struggle to build momentum. Gold surged past the $5,000 mark while silver rose over 8% in one session to trade above $110 on Monday.

The next price drop for Bitcoin is just waiting in the wings. Whether it will be a big drop down to $80,000 or $74,000 no one knows yet. However, what is becoming interesting is the ratio between Bitcoin and gold. A reversal in favour of Bitcoin could be in sight. Could this correspond with a US dollar bottom?

An intriguing BTC/Gold chart

Source: TradingView

The weekly chart for Bitcoin compared with gold is looking quite intriguing. While $BTC has been in an uptrend against gold through the entirety of its existence, a certain uptrend is in play in the above chart since early 2020. That uptrend has had plenty of peaks and troughs, and it has to be admitted that gold has had the upper hand since mid-December 2024. 

Nevertheless, a change in the trend could be on the horizon. While $BTC is continuing to lose strength against gold, it can be seen that a potential pivot point is approaching. The 0.786 Fibonacci level coincides with the ascending trendline at a ratio of 15.7 gold ounces to a Bitcoin. This is also a good structural level as seen by previous ratio values. Look for a potential bounce from this level, and a possible return to Bitcoin ascendency over gold.

A likely descent in the short time frame

Back to the BTC/USD chart, it can be seen that the latest little rise for $BTC could turn into a bigger drop. First though, there may still be the possibility of a quick spurt up to the underside of the bear flag in order to confirm the breakdown.

What does look quite likely, is that a descent is going to take place soon. The Stochastic RSI indicators are pointing in this direction after having reached the top. This is also about to be the case in the 8-hour time frame.

Bear targets

The daily time frame shows the extent of the measured move from the ascending channel. This would take the price just under $80,000 and would perhaps bring a double bottom into play. 

There is also the scenario where the price comes a bit further down and tests the top of the falling wedge. This would put the price at around $73,000 and change. Finally, the horizontal level at $69,000 marks the top of the 2021 bull market, so this would be extremely strong support.

Higher highs and higher lows

Source: TradingView

Zooming right out into the 2-week chart gives one the perspective on either a pivot back to the highs, or a descent to huge structural support at $69,000, or even a plunge to $53,000, which is the full measured move out of the bear flag. 

Or, perhaps we could simply say that in the grand scheme of things, the $BTC price has continued to make higher highs and higher lows since its inception. Why would this change now?

Bitcoin has been beaten down for nearly 4 months. A change is due. Yes, that change could be a new leg down to $69,000, but it could also be a rally back to the upside. If the bears can’t force the price down by the end of this week, could a rally become the favoured outcome?

Fintech turned banking into software. Wallets, instant transfers, and card-linked apps brought everyday payments onto digital infrastructure, scaling even in places where branch banking never could. Crypto added a second shift: open networks that let value move globally, with decentralized venues increasingly sharing execution flow with centralized exchanges.

A third wave is now forming, one that treats intelligence as infrastructure. This convergence sets the stage for “AI finance,” a category with a feel closer to crypto’s 2019 era than its current scale. The premise is straightforward: adaptive systems turn digital access into consistent execution. That shift matters most where the stakes are highest, and the margins for error are thin. 

Emerging Markets Want Execution, Automation, and Risk Controls

The world still has over 1.4 billion adults outside the traditional banking net, reaching digital finance primarily through phones and agent networks. In developing markets, people want more than just owning a bank account. Households have to deal with currency fluctuations and inflation that erodes purchasing power. Political instability adds urgency, pushing users toward automated tools that adapt rapidly to local conditions.

Market data validates this urgency. Chainalysis has pointed to APAC as a hub for grassroots crypto adoption, with on-chain value received up 69% year over year in 2025. Separately, retail interest in artificial intelligence is gaining momentum: a recent survey found that retail investors' use of AI tools for portfolio management jumped 46% in just one year.

In these economies, remittances and mobile wallets already function as everyday financial infrastructure. The next leap is automation that preserves value and manages risk inside those same apps. This is where AI finance creates “retail power investors”: everyday users equipped with agentic systems and institutional-style execution discipline. Automation handles scanning, sizing, and rebalancing, reducing the need for constant screen time.

A Focus on the Infrastructure Gap

Bryan Benson, CEO of Aurum and a former Managing Director at Binance, has spent years tracking how digital channels, crypto markets, and automation are converging. Aurum builds an AI-powered crypto finance ecosystem for capital management and payments. 

“Fintech built the rails, and crypto opened the network,” Benson said. “AI finance adds the intelligence layer that turns access into continuous execution.” While earlier waves digitized services and broadened access, he notes that AI finance automates decision-making and adapts to changing market conditions in real time.

AI finance can connect across the places people already use, according to the Aurum CEO, such as wallets, exchanges, and payment apps, and rebalance or pause trading when individual preset limits are hit.

Benson argues that retail participation scaled faster than retail-grade execution tooling, pointing to the gap between consumer apps and institutional market infrastructure. “Institutional desks rely on venue-aware routing and continuous risk checks. AI helps bring those capabilities into products that everyday users can actually operate,” he said. “Aurum’s Zeus AI Bot focuses on automated spot trading and real-time portfolio tracking, delivered through interfaces people already use, including Telegram.”

That critique lands in a broader financial context. UK regulators found that 75% of surveyed financial services firms already use AI, with additional firms planning adoption in the next three years, a sign that automation has become the baseline across large institutions.

What “Retail Power Investors” Look Like in Practice

AI finance delivers three practical upgrades: scale, speed, and behavioral discipline. Benson’s description centers on throughput. “AI wins on throughput,” he noted. “It can track cross-venue liquidity and volatility continuously, then execute inside predefined risk limits without falling behind the market.”

The technical foundation blends market history with order-book dynamics and on-chain activity, pushing outputs into execution engines with embedded risk constraints.

“In practice, it looks like automated rebalancing, volatility-aware sizing, and risk limits that keep a portfolio within defined drawdowns, running 24/7 without emotional overrides,” Benson said. “For example, our Aurum Flash tool uses AI to scan decentralized exchanges for arbitrage opportunities, executing flash loans to capture value without requiring the user to hold massive capital upfront.”

This is the core of the “power investor” concept. The user gains institutional-style reflexes through automation, while retaining human control over constraints and goals.

The Race To Automate the Financial Stack

AI finance fits cleanly into existing market roles. Banks provide regulated custody, local compliance, and credit lines. Exchanges provide liquidity and price discovery across fragmented venues. Fintech apps provide distribution, onboarding, and consumer-grade interfaces. AI systems connect these layers, running continuous decision loops across the stack. 

Benson stresses that AI-driven execution supports resilient liquidity during off-hours. “That’s why transparency and stress tests are no longer nice to have,” Benson said. “They’re the whole point if you’re letting automation run.”

Effective guardrails are critical because crowded signals can trigger synchronized moves and amplify volatility, the Aurum CEO argues. This dynamic increases the premium on transparency and stress testing. The winners in this next phase will pair automation with robust controls and distribution that reaches emerging market users where they already live, inside wallets, cards, and everyday financial apps.

A Five-Year Shift Still in Its Early Innings

AI finance is moving quickly from feature to infrastructure. The rails already exist through wallets, mobile money, stablecoins, and exchange connectivity. The competitive frontier now centers on intelligence that runs continuously and safely for mass-market users, especially in economies where volatility turns risk management into a daily necessity.

Benson’s public thesis points toward autonomous “digital teammates” that can scan opportunities, manage exposure, and handle execution workflows that once required specialized desks. 

That future will be measured in adoption and resilience, and emerging markets are positioned to lead because they supply the strongest demand signal: a need for execution, automation, and risk mitigation at scale. Over the next five years, wealth creation increasingly looks like disciplined compounding powered by automated execution and risk controls.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for its next price increase during the pre-launch phase. The price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025735 to $0.00025833.

Meanwhile, the cryptocurrency market’s downturn intensified as its market capitalization fell below the $3 trillion mark. Bitcoin (BTC) extended its decline, slipping below $88,000, while Ethereum (ETH) dropped below $2,900, down almost 11% over the past 7 days.

Husky Inu AI (HINU) Ready For $0.00025833

Husky Inu AI (HINU) is set for the next price increase of its pre-launch phase. The price increase will take the value of the HINU token from $0.00025735 to $0.00025833. The regular increases in the value of the HINU token enable the project to continue fundraising while empowering its growing community and existing token holders. The primary goal of the pre-launch phase is to secure capital, fund platform improvements, undertake market initiatives, and support broader ecosystem expansion.

The project’s official launch is on March 27, 2026. However, the team is open to moving the launch to an earlier or later date. The project team will conduct a series of review meetings to determine the project’s launch date. The first two review meetings were held on July 1, 2025, and October 1, 2025, while the third is scheduled for January 1, 2026.

Cryptocurrency Market Continues Downtrend, Slips Below $3 trillion 

The cryptocurrency market’s downturn intensified as the week began, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and other cryptocurrencies registering substantial declines. The crypto market cap shrank by almost 2%, slipping below $3 trillion to $2.94 trillion.

BTC’s price action was muted over the weekend as it traded between $88,000 and $89,000. However, selling pressure intensified early on Monday as the flagship cryptocurrency fell to a low of $86,166, before reclaiming $87,000 and moving to its current level of $87,784. BTC is down over 1% in the past 24 hours. ETH traded above $2,900 over the weekend but, like BTC, lost momentum early on Monday. The altcoin fell to a low of $2,788 before reclaiming $2,800 and moving to its current level of $2,865. ETH is down nearly 3% over the past 24 hours.

Ripple (XRP) slipped below $1.90 over the weekend and is currently down 1% at $1.87. Solana (SOL) has registered a significantly larger decline over the past 24 hours, falling nearly 4% to $122. Dogecoin (DOGE) is down 1.39% at $0.121 while Cardano (ADA) and Chainlink (LINK) are down nearly 3% over the past 24 hours. Stellar (XLM), Hedera (HBAR), Toncoin (TON), Litecoin (LTC), and Polkadot (DOT) have also registered substantial declines over the past 24 hours.

Nine weeks in the making, the Bitcoin bear flag may now have broken down, and Bitcoin could be on the way to $70,000 or perhaps even lower. Is there any hope left, or is the bear market about to clamp its icy tendrils around the crypto sector?

Bounce about to run out of steam?

Source: TradingView

A plunge out of the bear flag (purple lines) and down to $86,000 could be the beginning of the next leg down for the $BTC price. There was a bounce from $86,000, but the chances are that this might only take the price back to the bottom of the bear flag in order to confirm the breakdown.

As can be seen in the short-term chart above, the price fell out of a small bear pennant, and once it had broken down through $88,000, downward acceleration rapidly took the price to the $86,000 local bottom.

Currently, the bulls are trying to lift the price back above the $88,000 resistance. They might be successful, but with the Stochastic RSI indicators heading to the top, this bounce could run out of steam either here, or at the bottom of the bear flag, and a resumption of downside momentum could take place from there.

Next stop: $80,000?

Source: TradingView

Moving out into the daily time frame one can observe that the price has fallen under the 50-day SMA once again. Unless this can be regained, and also the bear flag, the next big drop seems unavoidable.

If one takes just the measured move out of the ascending channel, this would take the $BTC price down to around $79,400, while the same for the bear pennant also brings the price down below $80,000. Looking across to the last local low at $80,000, this could end up forming a double bottom.

Is $53,000 a potential bottom?

Source: TradingView

While being aware of the pain this might cause to Bitcoin holders, the measured move out of the bear flag has to be taken into consideration. Measuring from the all-time high at $126,000, down to the bottom of the flag, and then taking that measurement from the last touch of the top of the flag, the result is a spine-chilling $53,000. 

Looking left along that $53,000 horizontal line it can be seen that this is support for the 8-month bull flag that formed in 2024, so there is structure there. Be that as it may, falling below the $69,000 support level of the last bull market top would be an extremely bitter pill for the bulls to swallow, considering the amount of time it took to break through in the first place.

There is last-ditch support from the 100-week SMA, but if this breaks and is confirmed below, the next leg down could take place quickly.
