$TRUMP may be tied to Bitcoin more than it seems at first glance.
At first glance, these are two completely different stories. There is Bitcoin. And there is the meme coin $TRUMP, which is directly linked to Donald Trump’s name. Now it’s more interesting to look not at the coin itself, but at what’s happening around it. A new event for large holders of $TRUMP is scheduled for November 22. This will be the third such meeting. At the same time, interest in the token itself has noticeably declined since its launch in January 2025. (The Washington Post)
October began with a question: what if money really started returning to crypto?
Over the past day, Bitcoin has been holding steady at around $84,000. Ethereum and BNB are also in the green. But what’s more interesting is something else. In September, Bitcoin added about 7%, while some altcoins flew much higher. For example, over the month NEAR has gained about 186%, while Arbitrum is up about 137%. (24/7 Wall St.) Today, the market doesn’t look dead either: BTC, ETH, and BNB are rising, and among the notable moves, NEAR, Ethena, and Hyperliquid stand out. (The Economic Times)
#TRUMP #BTC This is not an ordinary memecoin. Behind the ticker here is a specific person—his name, statements, and actions. So any attention to Trump can quickly be reflected in TRUMP. But there’s an interesting point. Trump himself publicly said that he does not manage a memecoin and that he was only told the coin is selling well. At the same time, debates continue around the token due to the distribution of coins, unlocks, and the movement of large volumes.
Bitcoin is under pressure again. But the most interesting thing right now isn't happening on the chart.
Today BTC is holding around $83,000 after a pullback from recent highs above $86,000. At the same time, U.S. bond yields are rising and the dollar is strengthening. This is a bad combination for Bitcoin. (BusinessToday) But there's a strange thing. In one week from September 21 to 25, American spot Bitcoin ETFs received about $2.4 billion in net inflows. That is, large money was entering Bitcoin while the price was already starting to pull back. (Bitcoin Foundation)
#BTC On the one hand, BTC is holding at around $83–85 thousand. On the other hand, for the fifth trading day in a row, the pressure remains noticeable. (CryptoPotato) And here I’m more interested not in the price itself, but in what’s happening around it. Last week, US spot Bitcoin ETFs received about $2.4 billion in net inflows. And on September 28, inflows were positive again—about $31 million. (Investopedia)
Litecoin suddenly started catching up to Bitcoin. And now this is getting interesting.
In recent days, LTC has clearly picked up momentum. On September 24, it gained about 16%, and now the LTC/BTC pair is around 0.00086 BTC — roughly 45% higher than a month ago.
At the same time, Bitcoin is also rising. But Litecoin is moving much more sharply right now.
And here’s what I’m looking at and thinking: why exactly now?
One reason is growing attention toward the Litecoin ETF and increased activity on the network itself. But it’s important not to confuse this with a guarantee that the uptrend will continue. When the price suddenly accelerates, the risk of a sharp pullback grows along with the interest.
What I’m especially curious about is something else.
LTC long looked like an old project everyone remembers, but few people talk about. And now it’s back in the spotlight.
The only question is this: is Litecoin returning to the big leagues, or is this just another sudden surge of interest?
What do you think—will LTC still prove itself, or will Bitcoin ultimately steal all the attention?
