PANews reported on October 6th that Cointelegraph has compiled a list of the five most noteworthy top traders in the crypto market in 2025. Their common characteristic is that they rely not only on capital but also on narratives to influence the market. These five traders and their representative styles include: James Wynn: Represents a high-risk, high-leverage (often up to 40 times) speculative style. Although he has created amazing returns, he has also experienced tens of millions of dollars in liquidation. Andrew Kang: Adopts a theme-driven macro strategy and is adept at converting clear macro or policy shifts (such as US tariff policy) into hundreds of millions of dollars in leveraged trades. GCR: Known for its contrarian investments and high-conviction bets on altcoins, it gained fame for its successful shorting of LUNA and often influences market sentiment through public statements. "Big Brother Maji" Huang Licheng: Focusing on the Meme coin and NFT fields, his trading style is high leverage and rapid direction change, representing the extreme volatility of speculative assets. Arthur Hayes: A market-leading macro forecaster and cyclical strategist, his articles and interviews often combine central bank policy, liquidity and the supply mechanism of BTC and ETH to influence the market's view of the macro environment. The article concludes that with the influx of institutional funds and stricter regulations, the actions of these traders have become early indicators of market sentiment and potential direction, and their strategies provide observers with a window into the dynamics of contemporary crypto markets.PANews reported on October 6th that Cointelegraph has compiled a list of the five most noteworthy top traders in the crypto market in 2025.

PayPal P2P, Google AI Payments, Miner Pivot — Crypto Biz

The post PayPal P2P, Google AI Payments, Miner Pivot — Crypto Biz appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto’s center of gravity is shifting from speculation to services. PayPal is opening the door to peer-to-peer (P2P) cryptocurrency transfers, building on its growing presence in digital assets. Its stablecoin, PYUSD, has already surpassed $1 billion in market capitalization. Google is piloting a payment protocol designed for AI agents, with built-in support for stablecoins — highlighting the role dollar-pegged crypto could play in the emerging web economy. Meanwhile, Bitcoin miners face tighter margins from rising costs, higher difficulty levels and growing competition.

The service, called PayPal links, generates one-time links in the app that can be shared via text, email or chat. The feature will extend to Venmo, enabling direct transfers of cryptocurrencies and PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, between users. For US customers, PayPal said that personal friends-and-family crypto transfers will not trigger 1099-K tax reporting, though other types of crypto transactions may still be taxable The rollout is part of PayPal World, the company’s interoperability framework aimed at connecting wallets and payment systems across its ecosystem. PayPal’s stablecoin, PYUSD, has experienced significant growth since launch, reaching a market cap of roughly $1.3 billion.
