“If This Altcoin Delivers on Its Promises, It Could Rise 10–15x”

Ansem, a well-known figure in the cryptocurrency market, suggested that PumpFun’s native token, $PUMP, could increase in value 10 to 15 times if it improves its community relations and delivers on its previously promised airdrops. In its assessment, Ansem stated that token buybacks alone may not be sufficient to support the valuation of projects.

However, he pointed out that the valuation difference between the two tokens is quite high.…

Stablecoin remittances hit 9% in Bank of Italy test

Banca d’Italia has released a July 2026 study finding that stablecoin remittances do not consistently beat traditional transfer services on cost or speed.
