Binance founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) made important assessments about the future of the cryptocurrency industry in the Threadguy podcast broadcast he attended today. CZ said during a livestream, “The cryptocurrency industry won’t always be a smooth ride. Even strong founders, strong projects, and strong communities will face challenges from time to time. However, as long as the industry continues to do the right thing and build together, there are many different areas for deep development. This industry will continue to grow thanks to developers.” Zhao also touched on the importance of blockchain technology, saying, “Blockchain is a…
Summary ETH price trades near $4,490, consolidating between key support at $4,450 and resistance at $4,600 after a rally driven by ETF optimism. On-chain metrics remain strong, with rising staking, DeFi activity, and capital rotation back into Ethereum from altcoins. Bullish scenario: A breakout above $4,600 could trigger a move toward $4,800–$5,200, supported by ETF inflows and the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Bearish risk: A drop below $4,450 may lead to liquidations, sending ETH down to $4,200 or lower. Outlook: The Ethereum price prediction stays cautiously bullish while $4,450 holds as key support. After a quick rally on ETF optimism, ETH…
The third quarter is turning out to be a tough period for companies that followed in the footsteps of Michael Saylor’s Strategy (previously known as MicroStrategy). The stock prices of these companies are slipping as their total share value dip below the worth of their crypto holdings.

Summary The stock prices of several Strategy copycats peaked shortly after the announcement of the cryptocurrency pivot. Now they have to borrow up to $250 million to repurchase…
Block founder Jack Dorsey has called for a federal tax exemption on everyday Bitcoin transactions, urging for the revival of a legislative effort that fell short just months ago when pro-crypto senators ran out of time to attach critical tax reforms to President Trump’s massive reconciliation bill. “We need a de minimis tax exemption for everyday bitcoin transactions,” Dorsey tweeted, as his payments company announced it is debuting a new Bitcoin payments and crypto-integrated wallet targeting small businesses using its Square point-of-sales system. “Working on it. If this is of interest to you, please tell your Senators/House member!” Senator Cynthia…

Ethereum developers are preparing for the network’s second major upgrade this year, known as Fusaka, set to go live at the end of November or beginning of December, pending final testnet results.

The upgrade is focused on making the Ethereum blockchain more scalable and efficient, and should benefit institutions and users as transaction costs on rollup networks should fall further, while operating nodes should become less cumbersome and expensive for newcomers looking to run nodes. Fusaka includes…
In a recent trend within Brazil’s cryptocurrency landscape, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are becoming pivotal players. Daniel Cunha, leading Corporate Development at Mercado Bitcoin, the premier cryptocurrency exchange in Brazil, shared that these businesses constitute approximately 10% to 15% of the platform’s assets. Their primary aim is not speculative trading but rather securing their financial reserves. The preference for Bitcoin is largely due to its reputation for stability amid inflation, currency fluctuations, and geopolitical tensions.

Japan’s newly elected prime minister, Sanae Takaichi, may open the door for more “refined” regulations to boost the country’s cryptocurrency economy, which could be set to emerge as the next global hub for crypto companies.

Experts say her leadership may introduce a more open stance toward technological experimentation, including blockchain innovation, while maintaining Japan’s rigorous regulatory standards. Takaichi’s election may have a “material impact on the perception and governance of digital…
