Macroeconomic expert Raoul Pal delivered a powerful keynote in Dubai, unveiling his boldest thesis yet: the “Banana Zone.” According to Pal, we are entering the most explosive phase of the market cycle, driven by rising global liquidity and record-low investor sentiment.

In his speech, Raoul Pal revealed that despite the current bearish market sentiment, cryptocurrency is gearing up for a bullish surge. He calls this phase “the Banana Zone,” where the market will experience explosive growth. Liquidity: The Key Driver Behind Bitcoin…
Ethereum (ETH) price is trading near $2,470 after a 6% drop over three days, raising questions about its next move. While the weekend started with a 4% dip, whale activity and derivatives data suggest ETH could still recover. Large traders remain bullish, and technical indicators point to a short-term consolidation zone. Market watchers are closely monitoring whether Ethereum can reclaim the $2,600 mark soon. Exchange Outflows Point to Supply Shock In the last 30 days, over 1 million ETH has been withdrawn from exchanges, marking a 5.5% drop in supply. Exchange balances now stand at 17 million ETH, which is…
The United States will restore steep “reciprocal” tariffs if trading partners do not reach new agreements within a 90-day freeze, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday, signaling fresh pressure from President Donald Trump on foreign capitals. Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union with Jake Tapper, Bessent said the administration has “put them on notice” that duties will “ratchet back up to your April 2 level” if talks fail. Eighteen “important” partners are the main focus, he added, though he did not give a timetable for how fast higher rates could return. Bessent suggested some pacts may be regional, saying…
Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson recently reiterated that Cardano’s Midnight will cooperate with major ecosystems like Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and XRP Ledger. During his remarks at Consensus 2025 in Toronto, Hoskinson explained that the new privacy-focused network is built to integrate rather than compete. Midnight will enable developers to pay transaction fees using native tokens from their own chains, removing the need for asset migration. This model supports interoperability without forcing ideological alignment, to create a callable infrastructure rather than a standalone ecosystem. This cooperative model, which Hoskinson described as “cooperative economics,” directly challenges the zero-sum mindset prevalent in Web3 development.…
SEC Chairman Paul Atkins has urged the Commission to allow registered firms to custody and trade securities and non-securities, like Bitcoin and Ethereum, under a single, regulated structure. Atkins believes that such a framework would streamline operations, reduce costs for investors, and accelerate the integration of digital assets into a federally supervised environment. “I would like the Commission to allow SEC registrants to custody and trade both securities and non-securities under one roof,” said Atkins during his remarks at the SEC Speaks conference on Monday. “Enabling this could reduce costs for investors while allowing non-security trading to enter a regulated…

A new cryptocurrency whale was just born as, about 12 hours ago, a brand-new Bitcoin (BTC) wallet withdrew 500 BTC — worth about $47.82 million — from Binance. The timing of the transfer is interesting because it happened right in the middle of a price correction following last week’s rally. Bitcoin had reached around $97,000 earlier in the week but then lost steam. Prices have since dropped a bit, falling under $94,000 before recovering slightly to around $94,500. Even with this recent dip, the whale’s decision to buy and move such a large amount off-exchange suggests a potential bullish stance,…
A closely followed crypto strategist believes Ethereum (ETH) is in a position to launch parabolic rallies, mirroring its bullish price action five years ago. Pseudonymous analyst Inmortal tells his 232,300 followers on the social media platform X that Ethereum’s market structure on the three-day chart looks very similar to its early 2020 price action. Five years ago, ETH traded between $100 and $200 before the Covid-induced panic ignited a crash to around $86. The downside deviation subsequently triggered a massive rally that sent Ethereum to its all-time high of $4,868. Says Inmortal, “History rhymes, sometimes.” Source: Inmortal/X Looking closer at…

Trump’s crypto fund World Liberty Fi acquired EOS tokens for the first time. The asset, which is soon to be rebranded with a new ticker, makes up a small portion of the WLFI portfolio, but may serve as an endorsement for the project. World Liberty Fi acquired EOS in a single transaction valued at $2.99M, buying the tokens at $0.82. Following the purchase, EOS traded between $0.80 and $0.84 on different exchanges due to low volumes and volatility. The purchase of EOS as a BSC token means World Liberty Fi may have to switch to the new asset and ticker,…
