BTC Is 80% Through This Correction, Analyst Says

It's been a rough few weeks for Bitcoin, but here's a silver lining: one analyst says we're nearly 80% through this cycle's correction—and things are starting to look up.

According to CryptoQuant, leverage in BTC futures markets has dropped by half since early 2025, thanks to a string of brutal liquidations. In other words, most of the over-leveraged noise has been flushed out.

We've got a healthier, cleaner market setup now. It's not overheated. It's not crowded.

And it might just be primed for a comeback.

Crypto Degens Are Now Funding Anti-Aging Research.

What do you get when you mix memecoin degeneracy with a deep fear of death? Apparently, cutting-edge longevity research.

Platforms like Pump.science, VitaDAO, and CryoDAO are letting token holders fund anti-aging science—yes, with real labs, real compounds, and real experiments.

It's all funded by trading tokens. Degens buy in, fees go to research, and in some cases, they even get a cut of the resulting IP.

Forget pump-and-dump. This is pump-and-live-longer.

XRP Pops 13% After ETF Launch + Tariff Pause

XRP surged 13% to crack $2 after two big headlines hit: the surprise launch of the XXRP ETF on NYSE Arca, and a 90-day pause on U.S. tariffs (well, except for China, which just got smacked with a 125% hike - 😬).

Anyways...moving on...

It's a double-dose of bullish news—one from TradFi adoption, the other from macro relief.

But before you go full-send, charts are still flashing potential downside risk.

As always with XRP: enjoy the rally, but keep one eye on the exits.

OPINION

Gold-Backed Stablecoins Are Having a Moment—And It's About Time

Remember when stablecoins were supposed to be, well... stable?

After a few high-profile depeggings (looking at you, 2022), it's clear not all backing is created equal. That's why gold-backed stablecoins are starting to get serious attention.

They're combining the transparency of blockchain with the reliability of gold—and in an age of regulatory scrutiny and collapsing trust, that's not a bad combo.

If stablecoins want to be more than just speculative placeholders, they'll need real collateral, auditable reserves, and rock-solid peg maintenance.

Otherwise? We're just LARPing as TradFi.
