Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios

Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios

The post Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Institutional adoption, ETF approvals, and strong developer communities promote long-term optimistic narratives for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).  According to analysts, Ethereum might reach $8,000 in the next cycle while Solana could reach $1,000. But for investors seeking exponential returns rather than steady growth, a new meme-driven yet utility-rich contender, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), may offer far faster upside. At first glance, LILPEPE appears to fit the cultural mold of a meme token. Yet beneath its playful branding, it is underpinned by an institutional-grade framework: a Layer 2 Ethereum-compatible chain, sniper-bot resistance, zero taxes, and a CertiK audit. With presale momentum already exceeding $26.6 million raised at Stage 13, Little Pepe has become one of the most closely watched early-stage crypto projects of 2025. Ethereum (ETH): The Institutional King Decentralized finance, NFTs, and Web3 infrastructure depend on Ethereum.  ETH has the most liquidity and the largest developer community in the cryptocurrency sector, with a market capitalization of over $545 billion and a price of approximately $4,521. Several catalysts could fuel its rally toward $8,000: Approval of multiple ETH-based ETFs. Growth of Layer 2 ecosystems such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. Increasing institutional staking activity. Ethereum’s trajectory is steady and reliable, ideal for large-scale investors and funds. However, for smaller holders, ETH’s potential doubling or tripling in price may feel modest compared to the explosive gains that newer tokens can deliver. Solana (SOL): The Challenger’s Path to $1,000 Solana has proven itself as the go-to chain for speed, low fees, and meme coin virality. Now boasting a $127 billion market capitalization and trading at $233, Solana has solidified its position as Ethereum’s fiercest competitor. Several factors suggest a path to $1,000: It’s dominance in meme coin launches, including WIF and BONK. Strong DeFi adoption and rising TVL (Total Value Locked). Potential Solana…

Insiders who control 60% of YEPE have sold some of their tokens and made a profit of $1.4 million

Insiders who control 60% of YEPE have sold some of their tokens and made a profit of $1.4 million

PANews reported on October 9th that blockchain analysis platform Bubblemaps published a post on the X platform claiming that insiders are dumping YEPE tokens, having profited $1.4 million so far and still holding 50% of the token supply. Previous tweets have demonstrated how insiders control 60% of YEPE. The connection is clear: multiple holders invested in YEPE through the same centralized exchange (CEX) at similar times. These addresses have been selling off YEPE since its launch. Previously, on October 5, Bubblemaps disclosed that a meme coin called "YEPE" promoted by James Wynn was held by insiders with a 60% stake.

Verizon Deal Makes AST SpaceMobile Billionaire $500 Million Richer In A Day

Verizon Deal Makes AST SpaceMobile Billionaire $500 Million Richer In A Day

The post Verizon Deal Makes AST SpaceMobile Billionaire $500 Million Richer In A Day appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. AST Spacemobile CEO Abel Avellan Jamel Toppin for Forbes On Wednesday, AST SpaceMobile announced a deal to provide cellular service from space to fill in coverage gaps for Verizon customers, starting in 2026. The agreement, which expands on a $100 million May 2024 deal, sent AST stock skyrocketing 9% Wednesday—making the Texas-based satellite cellular provider’s founder and CEO Abel Avellan almost $500 million richer in a single day. The recent surge is the cherry on top of a profitable 30-day span for Avellan, a Venezuelan native who founded AST in 2016 using his proceeds from the $550 million sale of his first company, Emerging Markets Communications, in the same year. Avellan owns 78 million AST shares, roughly 24% of the company, and has seen his net worth double from $2.9 billion to $6.2 billion since early September, Forbes estimates, on the back of a 101% stock runup. His fortune has more than tripled, from $1.6 billion, over the past six months. AST SpaceMobile has made headlines with its more than 30 satellite connectivity partnerships with some of the world’s biggest cellular providers, including Verizon, AT&T and Vi, India’s leading telecom service provider. The company also scored government contracts with the U.S. Space Force. Analysts now expect Rakuten as the next provider to sign a definitive committed revenue contract after the upstart Japanese mobile carrier included an “AST SpaceMobile Progress” slide in a 2024 investor presentation. Despite burning through massive amounts of cash on infrastructure, the company has continued to support itself through issuing debt, raising $575 million through convertible senior notes in July. “This successful financing meaningfully strengthens our company resources above $1.5 billion in cash, positioning us to scale quickly with the deployment of the world’s first and only space-based cellular broadband network,” Avellan stated in a July announcement…

Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available

Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available

The post Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has received regulatory approval from October 8th to offer staking services in New York, one of the most tightly regulated crypto markets in the United States. This approval allows Coinbase users in the state to earn rewards by staking cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana directly through the platform. For years, New York’s strict financial oversight made it difficult for exchanges to provide staking, but a recent decision by the SEC confirmed that staking as a service does not represent a “security”. Coinbase celebrated the news as a step forward for accessibility, positioning itself as a bridge between traditional finance rules and the decentralized world of crypto. What Is Staking and Why It’s Popular If you’re not familiar with what staking is, that’s understandable as it’s only really become popular in the last three years. Put simply, staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrencies to help secure a blockchain network in return for earning rewards. Instead of mining with expensive hardware, staking allows investors to earn passive income simply by holding and staking their coins. The most well-known example is Ethereum, which moved from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in 2022. Since then, staking has become one of the most popular ways for investors to generate yield in crypto.  According to blockchain analytics firms, tens of billions of dollars’ worth of crypto are now staked globally. The yields may vary by coin but often range between 3 and 8 percent annually. Which States Still Don’t Allow Staking While New York’s approval is a major win for Coinbase, still not every state is on board. Several jurisdictions in the United States still restrict or heavily regulate staking products due to concerns over investor protection. States that currently don’t allow staking are California, New Jersey, Maryland, and Wisconsin however it is hoped that…

Pi Network Mainnet to Get Major Upgrade in Q4, Says Expert

The post Pi Network Mainnet to Get Major Upgrade in Q4, Says Expert appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Over the past month, the Pi Network testnet has been actively testing the Protocol v23 upgrade and has made significant progress in this regard. Market experts believe that this upgrade is coming to the mainnet in Q4 2025. This upgrade brings scalability and transaction efficiency to the blockchain, which could eventually help in Pio coin price recovery moving ahead. Pi Network to Get Protocol 23 Upgrade in Q4 2025 Pi community expert Dr. Altcoin noted that the ongoing Protocol 23 upgrade is currently in the active testing phase in the Testnet version of the Pi Network. He stated that once this phase concludes successfully, with minimal or no errors, as developers will proceed with Testnet 2 before deploying the update to the Mainnet blockchain. Dr. Altcoin projected that the full Mainnet upgrade to Protocol 23 could take place by late Q4 2025 or early Q1 2026. However, he believes that this depends on the testing outcomes. The analyst also stated that the Protocol Core Team (PCT) is “known for doing things painfully slow but meticulously right,” emphasizing the team’s cautious and detail-oriented approach. The latest upgrade to the Pi Network comes along with Stellar Core Version 23.0.1.

The integration of Stellar’s v23 framework represents a major milestone in the Pi blockchain development, giving developers improved tools to test applications prior to mainnet deployment. This v23 upgrade will strengthen the network’s ability to scale efficiently and operate securely. Besides, the Pi Network has introduced two major features to its Testnet, a decentralized exchange (DEX) and an automated market maker (AMM). The additions enable users to trade tokens, create liquidity pools, and test decentralized finance (DeFi) functionalities within a secure test environment. Will Pi Coin Price…

How a Broke Student Built an $8B Crypto Empire

How a Broke Student Built an $8B Crypto Empire

The post How a Broke Student Built an $8B Crypto Empire appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Fintech Just five years ago, Shayne Coplan was selling his belongings in a cramped New York apartment to make rent. Today, at 27, he’s the youngest billionaire on the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, thanks to a blockbuster deal that values his creation – Polymarket – at $8 billion. The transformation came after Intercontinental Exchange (ICE), the parent company of the New York Stock Exchange, announced plans to invest up to $2 billion in Polymarket, the fast-growing prediction platform Coplan built from scratch during the pandemic. A Startup Born From Frustration Polymarket’s origins are as unconventional as its founder’s story. Disillusioned by crypto’s scams and hype, Coplan became fascinated with the economic concept of prediction markets – systems that crowdsource probabilities by letting people trade on real-world outcomes. When the world shut down in 2020, he coded the first version of Polymarket in his bathroom. Within months, users were betting on everything from presidential elections to whether the Federal Reserve would cut interest rates. Controversy, Raids, and a Comeback Regulators didn’t share his enthusiasm. Polymarket’s “move fast” mentality soon collided with U.S. law. In 2022, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) fined the company $1.4 million and banned American users for operating without a license. The tension escalated dramatically a week after the 2024 U.S. election, when FBI agents raided Coplan’s home, seizing his electronics in an investigation the company later called “politically motivated.” By mid-2025, however, the Justice Department and CFTC dropped their cases. The company reentered the U.S. legally after acquiring the licensed exchange QCEX for $112 million. From Outlaw to Wall Street Partner ICE’s investment marks Polymarket’s transition from regulatory outcast to institutional powerhouse. With the deal, the exchange operator joins a roster of high-profile investors including Peter Thiel, Vitalik Buterin, and Blockchain Capital. The partnership also carries political…
