Man who binned Bitcoin says it's now worth £500m A man who has spent the last decade trying to retrieve a lost Bitcoin fortune from his local landfill says it is now worth around £500m.
James Howells, an IT engineer from Newport, said he accidentally discarded a hard drive reportedly containing 8,000 units of the coveted cryptocurrency back in 2013.
He said it was worth £4m when it was mistakenly binned, but now estimates its value to have risen to around £500m.
Newport City Council has refused his pleas to excavate the tip site, previously saying the excavation was "not possible" under its licencing permit and "excavation itself would have a huge environmental impact on the surrounding area".
Elon Musk Strikes PEPE Community With Unexpected Hot Tweet
Tech billionaire and innovator Elon Musk, who is known for his love for memes, has published a post on his account on the X social media platform that he owns. This post featured a popular internet meme, Pepe the Frog, which last year inspired the creation of the PEPE meme cryptocurrency.
The community, including many PEPE enthusiasts, enthusiastically reacted to his post. This is not the first Pepe the Frog-related post published by the tech magnate this week. One of them even caused the aforementioned meme coin to surge by more than 14% at the start of the week.
Musk's PEPE tweet triggers community
Elon Musk published a post about the way X users take in information and news published on this social media giant.
While “normal people,” the meme published by Musk says, understand that two multiplied by two equals four, other people demand: “Source?” as one of the many ways to deny the news or data that is assumed to be trustworthy. “Normal people” in that post were depicted using a Pepe image.
Many X users responded to that tweet with PEPE memes, supporting Musk’s assumption. In light of the recent U.S. presidential election and Musk actively supporting the newly elected political leader, X and its owner came under fire from the opposite side, the political left, which lost the presidential election in November.
Musk publishes multiple PEPE memes this week
Before November and now, Musk has been claiming that his X platform has become the only trustworthy source of news, while mainstream media were controlled by left-leaning political forces.
As for Musk’s earlier PEPE posts this week, on Monday he retweeted an image of Pepe the Frog in an image of an ancient Roman general standing in the Coliseum. That tweet was called "Kekius Maximus," with a clear reference to the "Gladiator" and "Gladiator 2" movies directed by Ridley Scott and released in 2000 and 2024. That publication coincided with the meme coin PEPE surging by roughly 14%.
Dogecoin is down 6% today, hitting an intraday low of $0.3404 on Dec. 19. This decline outpaces the broader crypto market, which fell around 3.5% over the same period. The dip in DOGE follows Bitcoin’s 2% drop in the past 24 hours.
Dogecoin price drops on “sell the news” rate cut
The bullish sentiment was not only exclusive to Dogecoin as most other memecoins recorded significant losses across the board, triggered by Bitcoin’s drop to $100,000 following US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s post-cut presser on Dec. 18.
Shiba Inu , the second largest memecoin by market capitalization, followed DOGE’s steps, dropping 5.8% over the last 24 hours to trade at $0.00002433.
Ethereum-based Pepe has dropped by approximately 11% over the same period.
DOGE market sentiment sours
The ongoing drawdown on DOGE price was also preceded by reducing market sentiment over the dog-themed memecoin which turned negative on Dec. 3, as per data from Santiment.
This suggests that traders have become impatient as DOGE prices have been consolidating for the past month.
DOGE’s bearish divergence
DOGE’s drop today precedes a period of growing bearish divergence between its price and the relative strength index (RSI).
The daily chart below shows that the DOGE/USD pair rose between Nov. 12 and Dec. 8, forming higher lows. But, in the same period, its daily RSI descended from 92 to 51, forming lower lows.
‘Dying A Slow Death’: Has Ethereum Lost Wall Street’s Favor To Bitcoin?
Ethereum has broken an eight-year support trend against Bitcoin, raising questions about the second-largest cryptocurrency’s future.
“Dying a slow death”—that’s how Tuur Demeester, founder of Bitcoin hedge fund Adamant Capital, described Ethereum, pointing to the broken trendline to a canary in the coal mine.
Crypto analysts blame Ethereum’s setback on slow institutional adoption, where Bitcoin continues to dominate. This could have deeper implications for Ethereum’s positioning as an asset class.
Ethereum’s struggles come during a mixed week for the broader crypto market.
Bitcoin’s price is flat Monday, hovering around the $90,000 mark, while Ethereum has dropped 0.3% to $3,080. Altcoins are a mixed bag: Solana is up 4.6%, Dogecoin is flat, XRP has gained 7.2%, BNB is down 2.3%, and Cardano is up 2.9%.
The institutional divide
According to Kaiko, a crypto data firm, Bitcoin’s dominance over Ethereum is due to its superior adoption among institutional investors, particularly through exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
The disparity became more evident with the launch of crypto ETFs—with Bitcoin ETFs drawing significantly higher trading volumes than Ethereum ETFs.
In fact, Bitcoin ETFs garnered more than $47 billion in assets within their first 30 days, while Ethereum ETFs brought in just over $6.7 billion, according to Amberdata, a crypto analytics firm.
“The divergence in performance and on-chain activity can also be attributed to the distinct value propositions of Bitcoin and Ethereum,” Amberdata noted in a recent report.
“Bitcoin, often referred to as ‘digital gold,’ has a simple and well-defined narrative as a store of value and inflation hedge, thanks in part to its fixed supply of 21 million BTC.”
Bitcoin benefits from its fixed supply and simpler use case. Ethereum—though more versatile—suffers from scalability challenges and regulatory scrutiny, particularly regarding its transition to a proof-of-stake model.
The Neiro Ethereum (NEIRO) meme coin has been caught in a whirlwind of controversy after a Binance spot listing led to the crypto exchange having two different coins by the same name on the platform. As a result, the initial Neiro Ethereum (NEIRO) meme coin listed by the crypto exchange suffered an over 50% crash. This has led to panic selling by investors, but not everyone is looking at this as a reason to exist. Crypto analyst Weslad has proposed that this could, in fact, be an opportunity to get a great entry on the cryptocurrency.
NEIRO Setup For Further Price Gains
Crypto analyst Weslad has pointed to the NEIRO price decline as a possible opportunity to enter into the meme coin. The analysis which was posted on the TradingView website shows the path of the decline since its began. In addition, it also shows a possible bottom before the next leg-up begins from here.
Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Shuts Down Predictions Of XRP Price Hitting $1,000 If the analyst is correct, then the NEIRO price may not be done with its crash. So far, the meme coin’s price has gone from as high as a $190 million market cap to below $80 million market cap. Weslad’s analysis predicts a further dump to $0.055. If this happens, it would mean another 28.5% crash from the current level.
However, this level, which the analyst predicts would be the bottom, would be a prime area for accumulation. As the analyst explains, the NEIRO price has been able to breakout from its downtrend that began with the Binance controversy and is already looking toward a recovery.
This is why the crypto analyst believes that it might be time to start accumulating the meme coin in preparation for the next NEIRO price pump. “Our plan is to accumulate in the immediate buy-back zone and hold the position until reaching the final setup area, which is anticipated to be a strong sell-off zone,” Weslad stated.
Bitcoin ETFs Record USD 10B Inflows, Floki Makes News With Launch Of Debit Card While New Viral Token Gains Investor Attention
With the bull market in full swing, several major developments are shaping where crypto is going forward. For one, institutional investment in Bitcoin has reached new highs, a bullish signal for the entire market. At the same time, Floki revealed a major development, while a new viral token Cutoshi is gaining attention thanks to its presale.
Bitcoin Institutional Investment Surges The changing regulatory environment in the US is boosting Bitcoin (BTC) to new highs. The biggest coin on the market reached its all-time high of $103,900 in December, as major institutions are buying it up.
Recently, Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have seen record inflows. Since the November 5 elections in the US, the figure reached a staggering $10 billion. The figures suggest that banks, investment funds and other institutions are significantly increasing their Bitcoin exposure.
The reasons for the change are many. Most notably, the incoming administration under Donald Trump has already signaled its pro-crypto policies. This shift in regulation means that banks, traditionally very concerned about regulatory risk, are more likely to invest.
At the same time, Bitcoin is increasingly seen as a counter-cyclical asset and a hedge against inflation. This means that Bitcoin plays a similar role in a diversified portfolio to gold. This is a significant factor, as even before the elections, ETF inflows in Bitcoin were on the rise. In October, net inflows reached $479 million in a single day.
The increase in institutional investment is key for Bitcoin's long-term growth, due to the huge capital reserves banks and financial institutions have.
Floki Debit Card Lets You Spend Crypto Like Cash Floki Inu (Floki) recently came into the spotlight after unveiling major news for its users. The new Floki crypto debit card just launched, which allows traders to spend their crypto like cash.
Will Cardano (ADA) Reach $2 Before Dogecoin? This Viral Altcoin Eyes a 4,000% Surge
Cardano (ADA) recently broke past the $1 mark after a prolonged struggle, sparking fresh speculation about its potential to hit $2 before Dogecoin (DOGE), which has also seen notable price swings. While these established coins battle for dominance, Lunex Network is capturing attention with its extraordinary growth potential. Promising a staggering 2,000% surge, Lunex Network is emerging as a standout player. $LNEX’s ongoing ICO has already raised over $4 million, signaling strong investor confidence.
Cardano (ADA) Eyes a 66% Surge in December: Can It Hit $2 Soon?
Cardano (ADA) is primed for a potential 66% surge in December, mirroring its historical bullish trend during the month. According to Cryptorank data, Cardano has consistently delivered an average December growth rate of 66.8%, positioning it for a strong end to the year. Currently trading at $1.14, Cardano recently gained 6.60% within 24 hours, while its trading volume skyrocketed by 214.52% to $4.29 billion, signaling renewed investor enthusiasm.
This positive momentum aligns with bullish patterns from prior December. In 2021, for instance, peaked at $1.72 in December, just months after nearing its $3 all-time high. Analysts are optimistic that Cardano could repeat such a rally, particularly if its current upward trend holds. Fibonacci projections even suggest ambitious price targets, with $2.453 and $8.30 emerging as key levels.
Cardano’s fundamentals further bolster its prospects. Innovations like Quantum Hosky and the Chang hard fork update have fueled hype, enhancing its potential to outperform peers like Dogecoin (DOGE).
Dogecoin (DOGE) Struggles to Maintain Momentum Amid $2 Hype
Dogecoin (DOGE) has surged by an impressive 177.21% this month, largely fueled by Elon Musk’s mentions on X and excitement surrounding the Department of Government Efficiency’s nods to the meme coin. As of now, Dogecoin trades at $0.4292, gaining 1.85% in the last 24 hours and 1.64% over the past week.
XRP Price Slips. Why the Crypto Is Selling Off Today. XRP has rallied over 400% since President-elect Donald Trump won the election, but Investors should brace for more volatility.
XRP fell early Wednesday after Tuesday’s crypto rally saw the price of the digital token soar double digits.
Investors should brace for more volatility.
XRP is down 5.3% over the last 24 hours to $2.57. It dropped from its high of $2.73 on Tuesday afternoon, as investors were likely taking profits.
Cryptocurrencies across the board got a boost Tuesday after Ripple, the payment platform that issues XRP, announced the beginning of trading of its new stablecoin RLUSD.
“RLUSD is already being viewed as a highly promising stablecoin, comparable to USDT and USDC , and is even considered a potential competitor to them,” said Arthur Azizov, CEO at the crypto business B2BinPay.
Boosted by hopes that RLUSD will cement Ripple’s position as a key player in the crypto space, XRP could reach a price range of between $5 and $7 in the first half of 2025, Azizov added.
While crypto bulls will be bulls, there’s reason to be cautious around Ripple and its digital tokens.
First, unlike other cryptos XRP isn’t mined by supercomputers solving complex problems. Instead, its supply is finite and Ripple controls most of it to ensure market stability, which has both advantages and drawbacks.
Second, investors would also be right to question if its sensible that a currency with such a limited use case (XRP can only be used to settle payments on the Ripple platform) has a market value of $147 billion.
Third, Ripple’s stablecoin RLUSD, which, unlike XRP, is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by the same amount of cash-equivalents according to Ripple, could struggle to keep its value on par with the dollar. That has been the case for Tether , the biggest stablecoin on the market, which in 2022 saw its value slip below its $1 peg.
Is Cryptocurrency the Future of Finance? Here's How It Works Cryptocurrencies have risen in popularity, but how exactly do they work? Understanding the mechanics of these digital assets sheds light on their potential impact on the financial system.
Essentially, cryptocurrencies are digital or virtual currencies powered by cryptography. This technology allows for secure and anonymous transactions over the internet. Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies are not controlled by a central authority, such as a government or financial institution. Instead, they operate on a decentralized network called the blockchain .
A blockchain is a distributed ledger that records all cryptocurrency transactions across a network of computers. Each transaction is grouped into a block, and these blocks are chronologically linked to each other to form a chain. Once recorded, transactions are immutable , meaning they cannot be changed or deleted. This property increases the security and trust within the system.
Another element that sets cryptocurrencies apart is their creation process, called mining . Miners use powerful computers to solve complex mathematical problems that validate transactions and add them to the blockchain. In return for their efforts, miners are rewarded with newly minted cryptocurrency, which introduces new coins into circulation. Additionally, cryptocurrencies offer users privacy and autonomy . Unlike traditional banking systems, cryptocurrency transactions only require the parties’ digital wallets, which hides individual identities. This appeal of anonymity and the absence of intermediaries reduces transaction fees and processing times.
In short, cryptocurrencies use innovative technology to offer a new form of currency that promises autonomy, security, and efficiency. As the digital landscape evolves, understanding how cryptocurrencies function can provide valuable insights into the future of finance.
Crypto market bleeds following hawkish rate cut decision by Fed
The Federal Reserve announced a hawkish decision to cut interest rates twice in 2025. XRP, Solana and Dogecoin registered losses of nearly 10%. The crypto market has seen nearly $700 million in liquidations in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin and the crypto market are down on Wednesday following the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announcement to slow down rate cuts in 2025, with the benchmark federal funds rate declining to a lower range of 4.25% to 4.50%.
Fed's rate decision casts shadow on crypto market rally The Federal Reserve (Fed) cut interest rate on Wednesday by 25bps, lowering the federal funds rate to the 4.25% to 4.50% range following the December meeting.
The decision to cut rates by 25 basis points matched expectations from market participants. However, the crypto market declined following the Fed's decision.
This is because the market reaction may not be tied to the rate cut decision for December but the outlook for 2025.
Fed Chair Jerome Powell indicated the apex bank revised their 2025 outlook and dropped the potential cuts from 4 to 2. This suggests a more hawkish outlook for the new year, sparking a sell-off across the crypto market.
Likewise, the Fed raised its expectations for PCE inflation from 2.1% to 2.5% at the end of 2025, indicating that inflation may increase in the new year.
It may also take a toll on the current bull rally that the crypto market has been experiencing, as investors now anticipate unfavorable market activity next year.
After the announcement, Bitcoin retraced to $100,314, dropping 5.4% as the entire crypto market shaved $200 million off its market capitalization.
Most top altcoins dipped alongside Bitcoin, including Ethereum, which has declined over 6% in the past 24 hours.
Other tokens include XRP, Solana and Dogecoin, down by 10%, 7% and 9%, respectively.
The recent decline sparked liquidations worth $675 million in the past 24 hours, with Bitcoin and Ethereum witnessing long liquidations of over $100 million each.
2024 was big for bitcoin. States could see a crypto policy blitz in 2025 in spite of the risks
The new year will usher in the bitcoin-friendly administration of President-elect Donald Trump and an expanding lobbying effort in statehouses that, together, could push states to become more open to crypto and for public pension funds and treasuries to buy into it.
Proponents of the uniquely volatile commodity argue it is a valuable hedge against inflation, similar to gold.
Many bitcoin enthusiasts and investors are quick to criticize government-backed currencies as prone to devaluation and say increased government buy-in will stabilize bitcoin's future price swings, give it more legitimacy and further boost an already rising price.
But the risks are significant. Critics say a crypto investment is highly speculative, with so much unknown about projecting its future returns, and warn that investors should be prepared to lose money.
Only a couple public pension funds have invested in cryptocurrency and a new U.S. Government Accountability Office study on 401(k) plan investments in crypto, issued in recent days, warned it has “uniquely high volatility” and that it found no standard approach for projecting the future returns of crypto.
It has already been a landmark year for crypto, with bitcoin hitting $100,000, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission approving the first exchange-traded funds that hold bitcoin and crypto enthusiasts being cheered by Trump's promise to make the United States the “bitcoin superpower” of the world.
More legislation on crypto could be coming
Lawmakers in more states can expect to see bills in 2025 to make them crypto-friendly as analysts say crypto is becoming a powerful lobby, bitcoin miners build new installations and venture capitalists underwrite a growing tech sector that caters to cryptocurrencies.
Meanwhile, a new crypto-friendly federal government under Trump and Congress could consider legislation from Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyoming, to create a federal bitcoin reserve on which states can piggyback.

#BTCNewATH $SUI rolled back After Reaching NEW Highs M
SUI pulled back without reaching the psychological level of 5.00. Instead of making a new higher high, the price formed a double top and rolled back. I anticipate that the market may pull back toward the support level around 4.00. If the price bounces off this support level or creates a trend continuation pattern, I expect the market to continue moving higher. My goal is resistance zone around 5.00
XRP surges 370% post-Trump victory: What’s driving the rise?
XRP has jumped an astonishing 370% since Donald Trump’s U.S. election win, far outpacing other major cryptocurrencies. Bitcoin rose just 46% during the same period, while XRP overtook Solana to become the third-largest cryptocurrency, behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum.
XRP was created in 2012 as the token for the XRP Ledger, which powers Ripple’s international payment systems. Even though Ripple focuses on global payments, most of its business 95% happens outside the U.S. Ripple owns a big chunk of XRP, which has raised concerns with regulators over the years.
Ripple has been in a long legal fight with the SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission). Last year, a judge ruled that XRP isn’t a security when sold to regular investors but is an unregistered security when sold to big institutions.
Recently, XRP has been gaining momentum thanks to several positive developments. Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, noted, “XRP has gone up close to 300% in just a month, driven by growing interest in banking tokens. The recent approval of Ripple’s stablecoin - RLUSD provided another boost to XRP’s price, taking it over the $2 mark.” He added that a pro-crypto SEC chair is also expected to bring a friendlier stance to cases like Ripple’s, further boosting market sentiment.
This week, XRP reached a market capitalization of $140 billion, outshining global companies like Sony ($128.6 billion), Nike ($115.57 billion), Starbucks ($112.6 billion), Spotify ($97.51 billion), PayPal ($90.23 billion), Dell ($86.75 billion), and Ferrari ($80.92 billion). The rally follows Ripple’s regulatory approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) for its RLUSD stablecoin. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse celebrated the milestone on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “We have final approval from @NYDFS for $RLUSD! Exchange and partner listings will be live soon – and reminder: when RLUSD is live, you’ll hear it from @Ripple first.”
MicroStrategy to eclipse Starbucks, Nike market cap if Bitcoin rallies to $138K
MicroStrategy’s (MSTR) stock prices are up 546% for the year, with its market cap currently at $99.4 billion. Its Bitcoin (BTC) reserve is a major reason for its significant year-to-date yields, as the organization added 249,850 BTC in 2024, taking its total tally to 439,000 BTC.
With its market cap on the brink of breaking the $100 billion threshold, MicroStrategy will take over major American companies if Bitcoin hits higher price targets.
MicroStrategy’s market cap will eclipse Starbucks and Nike if BTC hits $138K
With 439,000 BTC in its treasury, MicroStrategy is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, surpassing Marathon Digital’s tally of 40,435 BTC by 985%.
Thus, monitoring BTC’s price gives a direct outlook of MSTR’s market cap potential. Based on MicroStrategy’s net asset value (NAV) worksheet, its fully diluted market cap is $114 billion, with the derived MSTR NAV at around $40 billion.
With respect to MicroStrategy’s BTC holding, every time the crypto asset moves $1,000 in either direction, MSTR’s market cap gains approximately $440 million.
Starbucks's current market cap is $105.5 billion, and Nike's is $115 billion.
Therefore, a mere 11% rally for Bitcoin to $118,810 will allow MicroStrategy’s market cap to surpass Starbucks in the valuation rankings. A 32% uptick to $140,000 per BTC would take MSTR’s market cap ahead of Nike. Surpassing Nike’s market cap assumes that MicroStrategy does not add to its current BTC holdings.
MicroStrategy will go bankrupt if an asteroid hits Earth, says analyst
MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin playbook effectively entails buying Bitcoin at a higher level, where the company issues debt and utilizes the proceeds to buy Bitcoin, which drives BTC price higher. MicroStrategy’s method does have detractors, one being Chainlink advocate Zach Rynes, who said he was “deeply uncomfortable” with the organization's “debt-based acquisition.”
Crypto trading is one of the most popular methods of trading currencies online. It is a fast paced and exciting way to trade, and it can be very profitable for those who know how to do it. However, the forex industry is constantly changing, and it can be difficult to keep up with the latest trends. In this article, we will take a look at the future of forex trading, and what changes we can expect to see in the industry.
The crypto industry is constantly changing, and new technologies are being developed all the time. This means that the way we trade currencies is also constantly changing. For instance, new platforms and software are being developed all the time, and new exchanges are being created. This means that the future of crypto trading is likely to be very different from the way it is today.
However, one thing that is unlikely to change is the fact that crypto trading is a global market. This means that it is possible to trade currencies from anywhere in the world. This is a huge advantage for those who live in countries where the currency is not as strong as it is in other parts of the world.
Another advantage of crypto trading spain is that it is a very liquid market. This means that there is always a market for currencies, and it is possible to trade them very easily. In addition, the forex market is very large, and it is possible to make a lot of money if you know what you are doing.
One of the biggest changes we can expect to see in the future of crypto trading is the rise of automated trading. This is where computer software is used to trade currencies automatically. This can be a very efficient way of trading, and it can also help to remove some of the emotion from trading.
Another change we can expect to see in the future of crypto trading is the development of new platforms and exchanges. This will make it easier for traders to find the best prices and to trade with the most liquidity. In addition, we may see the development of new financial instruments, such as crypto-currencies, which will provide more opportunities for traders.
There was a time years ago when the only people able to trade actively in the stock market were those working for large financial institutions, brokerages, and trading houses. The arrival of online trading, with the instantaneous dissemination of news, has leveled the playing field. Easy-to-use trading apps and the 0% commissions of services like Robinhood and Charles Schwab have made it easier than ever for retail investors to trade.
Day trading can be lucrative as long as you do it properly (though there is never a guarantee). However, it's typically challenging for novices and often a losing way for newer investors to trade.
The only way to improve these odds is to learn the ins and outs of technical strategies and other crucial parts of the market, while also picking the right day trading platform.
KEY TAKEAWAYS Day traders buy and sell stocks or other assets during the trading day to profit from the rapid fluctuations in prices. Day trading employs various techniques and strategies to capitalize on these perceived market inefficiencies. Day trading is often informed by technical analysis of price moves and requires a high degree of self-discipline and objectivity.

Technical analysis: Focuses on past prices and trading patterns to predict coming trends.
Momentum trading: Capitalizes on short-term trends and reversals to capture quick gains.
Unlike long-term investors, day traders are less concerned with the fundamental value of the securities and more focused on capturing immediate gains from market fluctuations.
