The largest crypto exchange platform in the world by trading volume is announcing an airdrop for a new Ethereum (ETH)-based altcoin. In a new announcement, Binance says it is adding Caldera (ERA), an application that allows the development of ETH-based layer-2 scaling solutions, to its HODLer Airdrops program. “Binance is excited to announce the 27th project on the HODLer Airdrops page – Caldera (ERA). It is the internet of rollups, an ecosystem of modular, interconnected, and customizable chains.” The HODLer Airdrops program, which launched in 2024, rewards investors holding BNB – the native digital asset of the crypto exchange – with crypto assets based on previous snapshots of their balances. Caldera, which calls itself “the internet of chains,” says on its official website that its metalayer allows developers to create truly interoperable rollups – or layer-2s that try to streamline the ETH blockchain by batch processing tr...

On March 2, President Donald Trump promised to include Cardano (ADA) in his administration’s Crypto Strategic Reserve. As one of the lucky five assets that conveniently mirrored a David Sacks-backed fund, ADA rallied 58% within 90 minutes of that news. Trump’s surprising blessing of ADA alongside XRP and SOL showed that Trump was pro-altcoin and disregarded the Gary Gensler-led SEC’s designations of these assets as unregistered securities. Devastating to bitcoin (BTC) maximalists, it proved that Trump didn’t seem particularly concerned with distinguishing BTC from other digital assets. It also proved that politics pays. Ethereum Foundation ex-CEO and Cardano founder, Charles Hoskinson has been very active in public affairs. Within the past year, Hoskinson has created a Political Action Committee, endorsed a US presidential candidate, donated to a Senate election campaign, and attended many political galas and meetings alongside Trump’s allies. However, Hoskinson recei...

The brand-new native token of a layer-1 blockchain focused on intellectual property (IP) has skyrocketed by 164% in price in its first week of existence. Story (IP) launched on February 13th at the listing price of $2.26 and is now trading at $5.98 at time of writing. It’s already the 71st-largest crypto asset by market cap and has surged by nearly 120% in the past 24 hours alone. Story is a scalable intellectual property solution that aims to serve as a blockchain where rights holders can upload IP, set the terms of use and monetize it throughout the protocol’s application ecosystem. The project announced on Monday that it was joining Stanford University’s Future of Digital Currency Initiative (FDCI). “Our engineering team will be assisting Stanford FDCI on open research problems in blockchains. This research collaboration will accelerate Story’s roadmap.  Research is a critical piece of shaping the future of blockchain execution enviro...

An under-the-radar artificial intelligence (AI)-based altcoin is skyrocketing after its developers announced plans to expand the project. In a lengthy new thread on the social media platform X, crypto software developer Jeffy Yu says that Zerebro (ZEREBRO) is building a consumer facing launchpad for AI agents. “We are building Zentients, a consumer facing launchpad for agents… The exact details are still being finalized. But we want to keep the framework simple: Agents will require ZEREBRO for a creation fee and will be launched on a ZEREBRO bonding curve with fees. Once a certain valuation is met by the agent token, the token graduates [and] the liquidity from the bonding curve is deposited and locked into a DEX. Afterwards, traders buy and sell into the live liquidity pool with ZEREBRO.” News of the expansion sent ZEREBRO soaring. The digital asset went from a low of $0.410 on December 30th to its current price of $0.684, a gain of about 66%. Othe...

A popular analyst says crypto market participants are overlooking a payments-focused altcoin that has been performing well over the past few months. The crypto strategist pseudonymously known as Altcoin Sherpa tells his 236,400 followers on the social media platform X that he believes XRP will print record highs before the market cycle comes to a close. But for now, the trader uses Fibonacci retracement levels to map out a decent support area for XRP bulls. “XRP will continue to be under-owned and slept on by crypto natives. I still think $2 is a reasonable buy and that this will break ATH (all-time high) by cycle end.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X At time of writing, XRP is worth $2.17. Looking at the memecoin Popcat (POPCAT), the trader believes that the Solana (SOL)-based crypto asset may be in the midst of ending its multi-week downtrend. “POPCAT this should be the relative bottom.” Source: Altcoin Sherpa/X At time of writing, POPCAT ...

XRP has experienced a strong surge over the past week, with its market capitalization increasing and moving closer to its all-time high. This rally has pushed XRP to new heights, but it’s crucial to understand that such market phases are often temporary. Various indicators suggest that XRP might be approaching its peak. Aside from predicting that it will hit $3 this month, experts are speculating which altcoin will be the next to explode. XRP price analysis XRP recently reached a new all-time high, surpassing its previous market cap record from January 2018. Binance reported that XRP’s market cap hit $153 billion, marking a major milestone, though without adjusting for inflation, which would align it with its 2018 unit price highs. Despite this achievement, the real question is how much higher XRP can go. CoinMarketCap data shows that XRP hit $3.80 in early 2018, but its market cap was much lower at that time. Today, XRP’s market cap has exceeded its 2018 peak, b...

Inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs have outpaced their Bitcoin ETF rivals in the past four trading days as Ethereum’s price climbs 6% this week amid growing investor optimism about the biggest altcoin. Spot Ethereum ETFs recorded net inflows of $224.9 million over the past four days, while their Bitcoin counterparts registered total net inflows of just $35.2 million over the same period, according to data from Farside Investors . BlackRock’s ETHA Leads Spot Ethereum ETFs In 4-Day Inflow Streak A handful of the US ETH investment products are responsible for the latest inflows into spot Ethereum ETFs since Friday. Leading the charge is ETHA, the fund belonging to asset management giant BlackRock.  In the last 4 days, BlackRock’s ETH ETF has recorded net inflows of 149.8 million. The fund’s biggest day was on Nov. 22, when $99.7 million entered its reserves. Meanwhile, Fidelity’s FETH, Bitwise’s ETHW, Grayscale’s ETH, and VanEck’s ETH...

The Ethereum price surged 8% in the last 24 hours to trade at $3,404 as of 4.30 a.m. EST on trading volume that soared 42% to $64.01 billion. The crypto industry’s second-largest cryptocurrency skyrocketed 40% in the last week, with its price going from $2,440 just before the US election triggered a rally to the current $3,404.  The biggest altcoin’s impressive rally led Tron founder Justin Sun to cash out a chunk of his ETH holdings. Reports say that Sun transferred 19,000 ETH, which was worth around $60.83 million at the time, to the crypto exchange HTX.  At the time, the transfer caused Ethereum’s price to see a slight rejection from a resistance at $3,250, which stopped its progression briefly, but ETH quickly bounced back as the bulls were not discouraged by Sun’s move. Instead, the coin kept going up today, November 12, which led it to its current price. Still, ETH has quite a way to go to reach even its previous records from earlier this year...

BitMEX founder Arthur Hayes is naming an altcoin he thinks will outperform the rest ahead of the upcoming US presidential election. In a new interview on the Unchained YouTube channel, the crypto veteran says he’s interested in trading Ethereum (ETH) rival and smart contract platform Solana (SOL) because he believes it will jump in price alongside Bitcoin (BTC). “Going into the election, I’ll trade SOL. It’s the high beta Bitcoin, so I want the whippy action, it’s liquid, and I know it’s going to pump when Bitcoin does well — I want to trade SOL. I don’t want to trade ETH.” According to Hayes, Ethereum is too “old, slow, and boring,” thus, he’s turning to Solana as he believes it will outperform both the crypto king and the top altcoin during the next bull market. “Solana’s got the mind share, it moves, it’s high beta Bitcoin, and so I actually put on some small positions. B...

The Notcoin price pumped over 5% in the last 24 hours to trade at 6:13 a.m. EST as investors rush to buy the altcoin. Despite this recent gain, the NOT price is still more than 12% in the red on the weekly time frame. Its monthly performance is also negative after the crypto dropped 32% over the past 30 days. The Notcoin Price Hovering Above A Key Support 4-hour chart for NOT/USD (Source: GeckoTerminal ) The Notcoin price is resting on the key support level at $0.007840. Should it drop below this technical safety net in the coming 24 hours, the altcoin could be at risk of falling to the subsequent mark at $0.006122. On the other hand, NOT maintaining a position above the $0.007840 mark for the next 24 hours might invalidate the bearish thesis. In this alternative scenario, traders could identify the Notcoin price as a good buy opportunity. With this potential buy pressure, the crypto might attempt to flip the $0.010092 resistance into support. Thereafter, it could rise to $0.01...
