Solana price $SOL hits 3-month high These 5 analysts expect a new yearly high
Solana (SOL) price has been rising rapidly since October 13 and is approaching its yearly high.
Solana price also broke an inverse head and shoulders pattern. How long will it continue to rise?
Analysts are optimistic about Solana Analysts at #criptomonedas have a predominantly bullish sentiment towards Solana.
Tradermayne believes the price will rise to $40. But his bullish analysis is conditional on a bullish weekly candle close.
Rager and DaanCrypto also noted the importance of the $38 horizontal resistance area, which coincides with the yearly high. This area has been crucial since 2021, supporting and resisting.
Finally, CryptoGodJohn believes that SOL price will eventually reach $250 in the long term and may even reach $450 if it reaches the market cap of #Ethereum
Will it reach the new yearly high? The daily time frame shows that SOL price has been trading within an inverse head and shoulders (IH&S) pattern since February. The IH&S is considered a bullish pattern, which usually leads to breakouts.
Today, SOL price is in the process of breaking out of the pattern neckline. A daily close above $26 will confirm the altcoin's breakout. #crypto2023 #cryptocurrency
The "All-In" of Michael Saylor Strategy devours another 2.486 BTC despite being underwater by $5.700 million
The bet on 3.4% of the global supply
While the market doubts, #strategy reaffirms its unwavering conviction. The business intelligence firm, led by Michael Saylor, has just formalized a new massive acquisition, consolidating its position as the public entity with the greatest dominance over the supply of #bitcoin
The Recent Purchase: Between February 9 and 16, the company acquired an additional 2.486 #BTC . The investment amounted to $168.4 million, taking advantage of an average price of $67,710 per coin.
Supply Dominance: With this move, the firm's treasury reaches the astonishing figure of 717.131 BTC. This represents more than 3.4% of all Bitcoins that will ever exist (cap of 21 million).
Unrealized Losses: The strategy is not without extreme risk. With a historical average cost of $76.027 per BTC, the total position of $48.800 million currently carries a market value loss of approximately $5.700 million.
Acquisition Cost: The total accumulated investment, including fees and expenses, amounts to $54.500 million.
#MichaelSaylor continues executing its "Bitcoin Standard" thesis despite market pressure. By buying below its current average price ($67.7k vs $76k), the company is applying an institutional dollar-cost averaging (DCA) strategy, trying to reduce its break-even point while the market expects a recovery towards $80,000. #CryptoNews $BTC $SOL $ASTER
Historic record! The most sought-after Pokémon card in the world skyrockets to 16.5 million dollars. Logan Paul multiplies ×3 his investment in just 5 years
In a historic auction by Goldin Auctions that lasted 41 days and closed on February 16, 2026, the ultra-rare #pikachu Illustrator (1998), considered the "Holy Grail" of cards #Pokemon , was sold for 16,492,000 dollars (including buyer's premium), shattering all previous records and becoming the most expensive collectible card ever sold at auction (even surpassing iconic sports pieces like Jordan/Kobe cards).
The seller was the influencer, WWE fighter, and YouTuber #LoganPaul , who had acquired it in 2021 for 5.275 million dollars (also a Guinness World Record at the time for a private Pokémon sale). This generated him a gross profit of over 11 million dollars in less than five years.
The buyer is A.J. #Scaramucci , venture capitalist and son of Anthony Scaramucci (former White House communications director), founder of Solari Capital. Scaramucci described the purchase as the beginning of his "planetary treasure hunt" and sees ultra-rare collectibles as the new class of alternative assets comparable to fine art.
Keys explaining the stratospheric price: Only 39 official copies were printed in 1998 (for a CoroCoro illustration contest in Japan). This is the only PSA 10 graded card (gem-mint condition, practically perfect). Logan Paul presented it with a custom diamond necklace and showcased it at events like WrestleMania 38.
Guinness World Records has already certified the milestone as the most valuable trading card sold at auction in history. The premium collectibles market (especially pristine vintage Pokémon) continues to demonstrate that extreme scarcity + cultural narrative + hype from figures like Paul can generate valuations that even surpass traditional art or sports memorabilia. #CryptoNews $BTC $BNB $ASTER
🚨 Bitcoin on the edge The "Fear" anchors the price below $70,000 while whales accumulate in silence
Between structural fragility and macro hope
The cryptocurrency market is going through a period of institutional fatigue, where #bitcoin struggles to maintain technical relevance above $70,000, despite inflation in the U.S. showing signs of cooling (2.4%), optimism has not yet crystallized in the price, leaving the asset trapped in a defensive range that could visit $50,000 before finding a definitive floor.
Institutional Exodus: Bitcoin ETFs and #Ethereum have suffered significant outflows, with net exits of $360 million and $161 million respectively in the last week. Caution is total: even Harvard University has reduced its exposure to #BTC by 21%.
"On-Chain" Metrics in Critical Zone: The current price is drastically below the short-term fork's cost base ($94,000), generating constant selling pressure. However, there is a ray of light: large entities are taking advantage of the drop to accumulate, emulating the "base building" pattern seen in early 2022.
Gunpowder in Derivatives: The market is "overloaded" with short positions. A 10% upward movement could trigger a massive liquidation of $4.3 billion, causing a violent short squeeze.
Negative Historical Performance: With a 21% drop so far this year, Bitcoin is heading for its worst first quarter since 2015. Meanwhile, Ethereum struggles to regain the psychological support of $2,000.
We are not facing systemic panic, but rather a phase of fatigue. The market is processing the handover of "weak coins" to "strong coins." The current low volatility is the calm before a storm that, according to experts, will be "violent" in its resolution. #CryptoNews #ETH $BTC $ETH $SOL

The ecosystem of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) raises the stakes in its expansion into digital finance. Under the TruthFi brand, the firm has formally filed registration statements with the SEC for two new investment vehicles, the Truth Social Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF and the innovative Truth Social Cronos Yield Maximizer ETF.
Strategic Alliance with Cryptocom: The giant of exchanges will not only be the custodian of the assets but will also provide the necessary liquidity and, crucially, staking services, allowing the funds to generate additional returns.
The Cronos Factor (CRO): Unlike traditional ETFs, Trump Media bets on the Cronos ecosystem with a "yield maximization" fund, indicating a strategy that seeks not only appreciation but also passive cash flow.
Structure and Costs: The funds will be managed by Yorkville America Equities and will have an annual management fee of 0.95%, positioning itself competitively against other institutional issuers.
Market Impact: This move consolidates the "America First" vision in the crypto sector. By integrating digital assets directly into the Truth Social ecosystem, the group seeks to capture a base of investors who associate financial freedom with the political movement of the former president. $BTC $ETH $WLFI
"GHOSTS" AT THE POLICE STATION $ 1.5M disappears in #bitcoin police custody in Seoul
The police of Gangnam, the most exclusive district in Seoul, is in the eye of the hurricane after confirming that it has "lost track" of 22 #BTC seized assets that should have been under maximum security. The most alarming thing is that the physical device (a USB) remains in the hands of the authorities, but the funds have vanished.
The invisible theft: Although the cold storage USB was never physically stolen, the 22 BTC (approx. $1.5 million) were successfully transferred to an unknown address.
Supervision failure: The assets were handed over to the police in November 2021. The "leak" went entirely unnoticed for years due to the main investigation being suspended, highlighting a critical lack of auditing for seized assets.
"Friendly fire" investigation: The Gyeonggi Bukbu Provincial Police Agency is investigating whether it is an external hack or if there is internal involvement by officials with access to the private keys.
Domino effect in Korea: This finding is not isolated. It was discovered thanks to a national inspection motivated by another major scandal: the loss of 320 BTC in the Gwangju Prosecutor's Office, where investigators fell victim to a phishing attack. #CryptoNews $BTC
📈 GREEN LIGHT FOR THE RALLY? US inflation cools more than expected and gives oxygen to Cryptos
The #IPC of January has given a positive surprise to the markets, the annual inflation stood at 2.4%, below the 2.5% that was expected #WallStreet This relief comes at a critical moment, returning price levels to where they were just before the aggressive tariffs of the Trump administration in April 2025 shook the economy.
Surprise to the downside: Both the general CPI (2.4%) and the core CPI (excluding food and energy, 2.5%) beat Dow Jones analysts' expectations by a tenth.
Monthly pace under control: The general index rose only 0.2% month-on-month, showing that the "persistent problem" of inflation in the US may finally be yielding.
The "Tariffs" factor: The data wipes out the inflationary spike caused by trade policies a year ago, suggesting that the US economy is absorbing cost shocks better than expected.
💡 Why this is vital for #bitcoin and Crypto: In the crypto ecosystem, low inflation equals hope for lower interest rates. If the #Fed sees prices stabilize, the pressure to maintain high rates decreases. This usually weakens the dollar (DXY) and spikes appetite for risk assets like Bitcoin and the #altcoins
This January data could be the catalyst that bulls were looking for to break current resistances, especially after recent bearish reports from Standard Chartered. $BTC $ASTER $SOL
📉 Standard Chartered cuts projections and warns that the worst is yet to come before the rebound
The banking giant #StandardChartered has shaken market sentiment by drastically lowering its forecasts for 2026. The entity points out that the "pain" is just beginning for ETF investors, with a #bitcoin that could visit $50,000 and an Ethereum seeking a floor at $1,400.
Capitulation of ETFs: The main threat is not technical, but psychological. With an average purchase price of $90,000, most ETF investors are at a loss of 25%. Kendrick warns that these institutional flows will not "buy the dip," but will liquidate positions to reduce exposure.
Massive cut of targets (End-of-Year 2026):
Bitcoin (BTC): From $150,000 to $100,000. #Ethereum (ETH): From $7,500 to $4,000. #solana (SOL): From $250 to $78.30. #bnb : Adjusted to $1,050 (down from a previous expectation of $1,755). Avalanche (AVAX): From $100 to $18.
Macro Context: The lack of rate cuts by the Fed (under the leadership of Kevin Warsh) until June keeps capital in traditional safe havens like gold, leaving risk assets without short-term fuel.
Market Maturity: Despite the pessimism, the bank highlights a positive data point: the market structure is stronger. There are no systemic collapses (like FTX or Luna), and 50% of Bitcoin's supply remains profitable, suggesting a more resilient asset class.
The 2030 vision: Not everything is red. The bank maintains its long-term structural bullish thesis, reaffirming its targets of $500,000 per BTC and $40,000 per ETH by the end of the decade. $BTC $BNB $SOL
Bitcoin sinks and punishes El Salvador 🔥📉 -300M in reserves exposes Bukele's bet and threatens the IMF's lifeline of $1.4B
Is the 'national HODL' derailing the agreement with the IMF?
The brutal correction of #bitcoin in February 2026, with the price dropping more than 22% since the end of January, has hit hard on the government's reserves of #ElSalvador . The country accumulates 7.561 #BTC , now valued at around $496.52 million.
The recent drop has evaporated hundreds of millions in unrealized value: estimates point to an approximate loss of $300 million in the value of holdings from previous peaks, exposing the risks of the daily "buy the dip" strategy driven by Nayib Bukele.
Despite everything, #Bukele does not relent: the government continues to buy 1 BTC per day (even adding gold for diversification), and recently celebrated "we bought the other dip" in viral posts. This clashes head-on with the IMF's $1.4 billion agreement (Extended Fund Facility for 2024/2025), which required limiting exposure to Bitcoin, making its private acceptance voluntary, prohibiting additional public purchases during the program, and reducing fiscal/stability risks.
The result: alarm in debt markets. Salvadoran bonds (e.g., maturity 2035) lost up to 2.6 cents on the dollar before partially recovering, credit risk spikes and analysts warn that continued BTC purchases + delays in reforms (like pensions) could complicate or block future disbursements from #FMI , a key pillar for the country's finances amid imminent debt payments.
Bukele defends the long-term vision: "Proof of work > proof of whining". But in the short term, crypto volatility jeopardizes fiscal stability.
Is this heroic HODL or a gamble that threatens the international rescue? The IMF watches closely, and bond investors sweat. $BTC $ASTER $BNB
The "Trump Effect" shakes remittances World Liberty Financial launches World Swap to eliminate bank fees
From politics to global finance, the family #TRUMP scales its crypto ecosystem towards a $7 trillion market.
World Liberty Financial #WLFI , the DeFi project linked to the Trump family, has revealed its next strategic move: #WorldSwap , a platform designed to disrupt the global currency and transfer market.
Attack on intermediaries: The platform seeks to eliminate the high costs of cross-border remittances by directly connecting bank accounts and debit cards. According to co-founder Zak Folkman, the goal is to capture a portion of the $7 trillion flow that moves annually between currencies, charging only a fraction of the current fees.
International announcement: The deployment was made official during the Consensus conference in Hong Kong, underscoring the project's global ambition beyond U.S. borders.
Explosive growth: The announcement comes after the early success of World Liberty Markets. In just four weeks since its launch, its lending platform has already recorded $320 million in deposits and over $200 million in loans granted, driving its own $1 USD stablecoin.
Integrated ecosystem: WLFI is not just a lending platform; it is becoming a complete financial infrastructure (DeFi + Remittances + Stablecoins) under the Trump brand umbrella.
Critical focus: This expansion adds a new massive revenue stream to a company that is already under political scrutiny, increasing the project's relevance in the debate over digital asset regulation in the U.S. #WorldLibertyFinancial #CryptoNews $WLFI
#Binance blinda the Fund #SAFU The historic migration of $1.000 billion to #bitcoin has been completed.
Goodbye to stablecoins: The world's largest exchange reaffirms its utmost faith in #BTC as the ultimate store of value.
Binance has marked a milestone in emergency fund management by completing the total transition of its Secure Asset Fund for Users (SAFU) to Bitcoin.
Mission accomplished: The purchase of the final tranche of 4.545 BTC has been executed, closing the conversion process of 1.000 billion dollars that were previously in stablecoins.
Operational punctuality: The exchange fulfilled its promise to complete the migration within 30 days, demonstrating impeccable technical execution and on-chain transparency.
The new golden figure: The SAFU fund now has a treasure of 15.000 BTC. At the close of the operation (with BTC at $67.000), the total value amounts to $1.002.000.000 USD.
A political and economic message: By moving 100% of the fund to Bitcoin, Binance sends a strong signal to the market: its confidence in BTC as the premier long-term reserve asset, even surpassing the perceived stability of dollar-pegged stablecoins. #CryptoNews $BTC $BNB $ASTER
#Tether al the assault of the Top 10 The giant of stablecoins is already competing with sovereign nations in U.S. debt.
The definitive institutionalization of Tether
Tether's goal is to reach the World Top 10, Bo Hines, CEO of Tether USA, announced at the #bitcoin Investor Week that the company aims to become one of the 10 largest buyers of U.S. Treasury Bills this year. Currently, with 122 billion dollars in public debt, Tether already holds more bonds than countries like Germany or Saudi Arabia.
The "GENIUS Law" factor: After his time in the White House, Hines is aligning the company's reserves with the new federal framework. The recent launch of USAT (issued by Anchorage Bank) is specifically designed to meet the 1:1 backing of high-quality assets required by law, ensuring full interoperability with #USDT
Unstoppable user growth: Retail adoption shows no signs of slowing down. USDT has already reached 530 million customers globally, adding approximately 30 million new users each quarter. This constant flow of capital is the engine that forces the company to absorb U.S. debt at an unprecedented pace.
Strength of the balance sheet (Beyond the dollar): Tether is not just a fixed income player. The firm holds 6.3 billion dollars in excess reserves and has established itself as the 13th largest holder of gold in the world, safeguarding 140 tons of the precious metal, which strengthens its position against potential liquidity crises.
Reciprocity and dominance: Hines's message is clear: Tether's future in the U.S. hinges on convergence. The union between the massive liquidity of USDT and the regulatory compliance of USAT seeks to solidify a de facto monopoly under the standard "After all, it's just Tether". #CryptoNews $BTC $ASTER $BNB
Dead Cat Bounce? #bitcoin deflates while employment in the U.S. crushes hopes of the #Fed
The mirage of $72,000, after a fake recovery of 20% last Friday, Bitcoin has plunged back below $66,000. Analysts warn that the rise was a "dead cat bounce," lacking conviction, which has also dragged down #Ethereum , #solana , and #xrp by more than 5.5%.
The "Employment Effect" paralyzes the Fed: The January report in the U.S. (130,000 new jobs, double what was expected) has cooled expectations for interest rate cuts. The likelihood of a loosening in March has plummeted from 21% to 6%, keeping the dollar strong and punishing risk assets.
Capital flight to the traditional market: Investor interest is evaporating. While open interest in Bitcoin futures has fallen 51% from its peak in October 2025, stock markets like the South Korean Kospi are experiencing an unprecedented boom, absorbing the retail capital fleeing from crypto stagnation.
Bleeding in sector stocks: The pessimism is systemic. Robinhood (HOOD) leads the losses with a drop of -12.14% after reporting mediocre crypto trading revenues, infecting giants like Coinbase (-7.72%) and Strategy (-4.8%).
Alternative havens: In a classic turnaround of financial manual, while cryptocurrencies falter and stocks stagnate, precious metals gain ground: gold rose 4.55% and silver surged 3.2% during the day. $SOL $XRP $MSTR
#blackRock DeFi Conquest The Giant Allies with #uniswap to Bring the U.S. Treasury to Decentralized Protocols
The border between #WallStreet and the crypto ecosystem has just been erased.
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has announced the integration of its tokenized fund #BUIDL into Uniswap, the leading decentralized exchange (DEX) platform. This move marks the beginning of a new era where real-world assets (RWA) and smart contracts merge at an institutional scale.
BUIDL enters the Liquidity "Pool": The BUIDL token, backed by the U.S. Treasury and valued at $1.8 billion, will be traded on Uniswap. This allows for instant settlements and a capital efficiency that traditional markets simply cannot match.
BlackRock bets on the UNI token: In an unprecedented move, BlackRock will purchase an undisclosed amount of #UNI (the governance token of Uniswap), validating not only the platform's technology but also its economic ecosystem.
"VIP" and Controlled Access: Not just anyone will be able to operate yet. Through Securitize, a "whitelist" will be implemented so that only institutions and qualified buyers (with assets exceeding $5 million) can participate, meeting regulatory standards.
From "Degens" to Institutions: The collaboration unites two opposing worlds: the luxury offices of BlackRock in Hudson Yards and the avant-garde environment of Uniswap in SoHo. It is a real-world test case for future migration of stocks and other traditional assets to the blockchain.
Synergy with Stablecoins: The integration will be carried out through UniswapX, seeking total interoperability between yield-generating funds (like BUIDL) and stablecoins, optimizing the use of collateral in the digital market. $UNI
The Wall between #WallStreet and Crypto Collapses Franklin Templeton and #Binance Launch a Giant of Tokenized Guarantees
The convergence between Traditional Finance (TradFi) and digital assets has made an evolutionary leap today. Franklin Templeton (a giant with trillions in assets under management) and Binance (the largest exchange in the world) have activated an off-exchange guarantee program that allows institutions to operate with unprecedented efficiency.
"Live" and Yielding Collateral: For the first time, institutional clients will be able to use their tokenized money market fund (MMF) shares —issued through the Benji platform of #FranklinTempleton — as collateral to trade on Binance. This means that the capital not only backs their operations but continues to generate interest while doing so.
Goodbye to Exchange Risk: Thanks to Ceffu's infrastructure, assets remain under third-party custody outside the exchange. This addresses the main institutional fear: counterparty risk. Institutions can operate on Binance without having to physically deposit their regulated assets on the platform.
Capital Efficiency 24/7: The program leverages blockchain technology to offer immediate settlements at any time, adapting to a market that, unlike traditional stock exchanges, never closes.
Tokenization as the Standard: This alliance is not just a product; it is the validation that Real World Assets (RWA) are the ultimate bridge. By converting traditional funds into tokens, liquidity and utility are provided to instruments that were previously static. #bnb #BTC $BNB $BTC
