Launchpad

Launchpads are decentralized platforms that facilitate early-stage fundraising for new Web3 projects through Initial DEX Offerings (IDOs). They provide investors with curated access to token sales while offering startups a community-driven capital injection. In 2026, launchpads have evolved into full-stack incubators, focusing on project quality and long-term sustainability. Follow this tag for the latest in token distribution models, tier-based participation, and the emergence of the next generation of "unicorn" protocols across various blockchain ecosystems.

Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios

Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios

The post Ethereum (ETH) Targets $8,000 and Solana (SOL) $1,000, But Little Pepe (LILPEPE) Could 30x Quicker and Transform Portfolios appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Institutional adoption, ETF approvals, and strong developer communities promote long-term optimistic narratives for Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL).  According to analysts, Ethereum might reach $8,000 in the next cycle while Solana could reach $1,000. But for investors seeking exponential returns rather than steady growth, a new meme-driven yet utility-rich contender, Little Pepe (LILPEPE), may offer far faster upside. At first glance, LILPEPE appears to fit the cultural mold of a meme token. Yet beneath its playful branding, it is underpinned by an institutional-grade framework: a Layer 2 Ethereum-compatible chain, sniper-bot resistance, zero taxes, and a CertiK audit. With presale momentum already exceeding $26.6 million raised at Stage 13, Little Pepe has become one of the most closely watched early-stage crypto projects of 2025. Ethereum (ETH): The Institutional King Decentralized finance, NFTs, and Web3 infrastructure depend on Ethereum.  ETH has the most liquidity and the largest developer community in the cryptocurrency sector, with a market capitalization of over $545 billion and a price of approximately $4,521. Several catalysts could fuel its rally toward $8,000: Approval of multiple ETH-based ETFs. Growth of Layer 2 ecosystems such as Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. Increasing institutional staking activity. Ethereum’s trajectory is steady and reliable, ideal for large-scale investors and funds. However, for smaller holders, ETH’s potential doubling or tripling in price may feel modest compared to the explosive gains that newer tokens can deliver. Solana (SOL): The Challenger’s Path to $1,000 Solana has proven itself as the go-to chain for speed, low fees, and meme coin virality. Now boasting a $127 billion market capitalization and trading at $233, Solana has solidified its position as Ethereum’s fiercest competitor. Several factors suggest a path to $1,000: It’s dominance in meme coin launches, including WIF and BONK. Strong DeFi adoption and rising TVL (Total Value Locked). Potential Solana…

Bitcoin News: Over One-Third of Supply Now Has a Cost Basis Above $75K

Bitcoin News: Over One-Third of Supply Now Has a Cost Basis Above $75K

The post Bitcoin News: Over One-Third of Supply Now Has a Cost Basis Above $75K appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Bitcoin is all grown up. Look no further than the cost basis clusters mapped out in The Bitcoin Checkpoint report in recent news. As of October 2025, more than one-third of the circulating Bitcoin supply carries a cost basis above $75,000, with 11.5% of all BTC now purchased over $110,000. Forget the frantic, dollar-cost-average retail boom of years gone by, or the buy high, sell low rookie behavior. Today, heavy clustering at these levels is the direct result of deep pockets piling in regardless of the BTC USD price. When you count not only coins but the stored value behind them, the entire dollar picture tilts even further. 34.5% of the Bitcoin supply has now been acquired at a cost basis exceeding $75,000. If we value each coin at the price it last moved on-chain, the numbers are even more incredible. 34.7% of the supply (6.91 million BTC) has a cost basis over $75,000, accounting for 70% of the stored value. That reflects real conviction, not just memes about laser eyes. When two-thirds of all Bitcoin “invested wealth” is sitting north of $75,000, you’re looking at a market that has collectively accepted six-figures as the new normal. Bitcoin News: Institutional Money Changes the Rules For Supply If you’re still thinking this cycle is about retail euphoria, think again. The stampede into Bitcoin ETFs and corporate treasury allocations has fundamentally changed everything. As per the report: When BlackRock’s IBIT ETF became the fastest ETF to hit $50 billion in AUM, taking just 227 trading days, it was no longer possible to say Bitcoin was a fringe asset. Demand from institutional and corporate buyers has created a floor after floor in price. So what once looked overbought at $70,000 now looks like the base camp for long-term capital. Choppy (BTC USD) Price…

Notably, Imperia NFTs will serve as the foundation for Rome’s…

Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available

Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available

The post Ethereum and Solana Staking Now Available appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Coinbase has received regulatory approval from October 8th to offer staking services in New York, one of the most tightly regulated crypto markets in the United States. This approval allows Coinbase users in the state to earn rewards by staking cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Solana directly through the platform. For years, New York’s strict financial oversight made it difficult for exchanges to provide staking, but a recent decision by the SEC confirmed that staking as a service does not represent a “security”. Coinbase celebrated the news as a step forward for accessibility, positioning itself as a bridge between traditional finance rules and the decentralized world of crypto. What Is Staking and Why It’s Popular If you’re not familiar with what staking is, that’s understandable as it’s only really become popular in the last three years. Put simply, staking is the process of locking up cryptocurrencies to help secure a blockchain network in return for earning rewards. Instead of mining with expensive hardware, staking allows investors to earn passive income simply by holding and staking their coins. The most well-known example is Ethereum, which moved from proof-of-work to proof-of-stake in 2022. Since then, staking has become one of the most popular ways for investors to generate yield in crypto.  According to blockchain analytics firms, tens of billions of dollars’ worth of crypto are now staked globally. The yields may vary by coin but often range between 3 and 8 percent annually. Which States Still Don’t Allow Staking While New York’s approval is a major win for Coinbase, still not every state is on board. Several jurisdictions in the United States still restrict or heavily regulate staking products due to concerns over investor protection. States that currently don’t allow staking are California, New Jersey, Maryland, and Wisconsin however it is hoped that…
