📊 BTC’s 1-Year Journey: From $126K ATH to $57K Low
Bitcoin’s one-year journey is a strong reminder of market volatility. From around $114K in October 2025 to an ATH near $126K, followed by a major correction, BTC showed how quickly sentiment can change.
My lesson: Don’t put your entire portfolio into one trade. Keep some funds in reserve, protect profits, use proper position sizing, and avoid emotional decisions. Markets will always give another opportunity—protecting your capital should come first.
Robert Kiyosaki’s latest post got attention for an unusual reason: he connected America’s bad weather with a question about the country’s financial future.
But weather isn’t evidence of a financial crisis. His broader warning is much more specific. Kiyosaki has argued that debt, market speculation, war and other pressures could trigger a major crash, followed by panic, bank runs and renewed money printing.
He has also predicted extreme future targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum, gold and silver—but those targets depend on his hypothetical crash scenario actually unfolding.
The interesting part isn’t whether one prediction sounds dramatic. It’s whether the sequence he describes actually happens: market stress → financial pressure → policy response → asset repricing.
Standard Chartered is projecting a major rally for Ethena ($ENA ), forecasting the token could hit $2 by 2028—up roughly sevenfold from its current $0.28 level.
According to the bank's thesis, ENA could reach $0.42 by late 2026 and $1.10 in 2027 before picking up speed. If realized, this trajectory would outperform the bank's projected returns for both Bitcoin and Ethereum over the same period.
However, hitting this target requires Ethena to dramatically scale its USDe synthetic stablecoin from its current $4.9 billion supply to $40 billion by 2028. Following a drop in crypto funding rates, Ethena is expanding beyond its original delta-neutral trade into DeFi lending, real-world assets, and equities to rebuild yield.
For traders, this highlights a key metric: $ENA ’s long-term upside depends heavily on whether protocol revenue and supply growth can successfully rebound in a changing yield environment.
Is a $40B USDe supply realistic by 2028, or will yield compression hold Ethena back?
Bitcoin miner Hut 8 just unlocked $1 billion in potential liquidity, giving it massive flexibility to scale operations. ⚡
The company closed a four-year senior secured credit line, allowing it to draw cash or issue letters of credit to back construction and utility obligations without tying up operational cash as collateral. At the time of closing, no funds were drawn, preserving the full capacity for future development.
For the crypto market, this signals growing institutional confidence in infrastructure financing. By leveraging bank capacity instead of selling Bitcoin reserves or heavily diluting equity, major miners can continue expanding energy and hardware capacity even through shifting market cycles.
As mining entities secure traditional credit lines, they improve their cash management and long-term stability, which supports broader ecosystem infrastructure.
Will this non-dilutive financing model set a new benchmark for large-scale Bitcoin miners, or do debt-backed expansions carry hidden risks if market conditions shift?
The Federal Reserve's stablecoin proposal would put a general two-business-day limit on redemption by issuers it supervises.
For a customer holding stablecoins at an exchange, the first step is getting that venue to release or convert the balance. In a July 28 snapshot, researchers located $76 billion of stablecoins at centralized exchanges, where a customer may have to deal with the venue before reaching an issuer.
Researchers at the Andersen Institute for Finance and Economics located that amount across 12 reserve-backed dollar stablecoins. They call the exchange figure a lower bound because some exchange wallets cannot be identified.
Mixed US economic signals are keeping Bitcoin stuck below key resistance levels as macro uncertainty lingers 📈📉
Fresh data shows US job openings cooled to 7.1 million in August (down from a revised 7.3 million in July), signaling a slowing labor market that typically supports lower interest rates. However, consumer anxiety is rising. The Conference Board’s Consumer Confidence Index dropped to 81.9 in September, while average 12-month inflation expectations climbed to 6.1%, and 68.4% of respondents now expect higher rates ahead.
For Bitcoin, this creates a split narrative. A softening labor market usually bolsters the case for Fed rate cuts and cheaper liquidity. Yet persistent inflation fears and rising yield expectations limit immediate upside, leaving BTC struggling to reclaim the $84,000 support zone after touching a recent low near $82,775.
Without clear directional momentum from macroeconomic data, crypto markets remain caught between rate-cut hopes and inflation headwinds.
Do you think macro conditions will push BTC higher, or is more sideways price action ahead?
