the trader called Jason who keeps shorting Bitcoin on time
A pseudonymous whale called Jason has built a 2,281 BTC short on Binance, now in multi‑million profit, extending a pattern of eerily well‑timed macro trades.
Summary
- On-chain sleuths say Jason holds a 2,281 BTC short on Binance at a $74,238 entry, sitting on roughly $4.2 million in unrealized profit with BTC near $72,467.
- The trader’s history includes perfectly timed shorts during prior market crashes and a reported $58.89 million loss, underscoring a high‑conviction, high‑risk strategy.
- Today’s bet lands as Bitcoin slides on Iran-linked Strait of Hormuz tensions and hotter‑than‑expected U.S. PPI, with analysts split on whether Jason is signal or noise.
A pseudonymous trader known online as Jason (@Jason60704294) is once again drawing scrutiny from on-chain analysts after data published Wednesday by blockchain sleuth @ai_9684xtpa revealed that Jason currently holds a short position of 2,281.09 BTC on Binance, with a nominal value of approximately $169 million and an opening average entry price of $74,238. With Bitcoin (BTC) trading around $72,467 at the time of monitoring — roughly 2.38% below Jason’s entry point — the position carries an unrealized floating profit of approximately $4.155 million.
The trade is not an isolated event. It is the latest chapter in a documented pattern that has made Jason one of the most closely tracked retail-sized whale accounts in crypto markets. According to on-chain analysis aggregated by Blockchain.news, Jason had just days earlier closed a long position with a profit of $14.668 million before pivoting sharply to the short side, opening an initial position of 28.48 BTC at an estimated entry price of around $74,210. Wednesday’s data confirms that position has since been substantially scaled up to over 2,281 BTC — a markedly more aggressive commitment.
Jason’s history adds considerable weight to the current trade. In August 2025, the trader opened short positions on BTC at $120,948 and on ETH at $4,712, positions that — if held — would have generated substantial returns as both assets declined sharply in subsequent months. Earlier, the trader had reportedly exited positions recording a $58.89 million loss, underscoring that the strategy carries real risk despite its headline-grabbing wins.
The timing of today’s short aligns with a broader market deterioration. Bitcoin has been under sustained pressure since late February, when U.S.-Israel military strikes on Iran triggered a Strait of Hormuz crisis that has since disrupted approximately 15% of global oil supply. Wednesday’s release of U.S. February PPI data — coming in at 0.7% month-on-month against a 0.3% forecast — compounded the risk-off sentiment, further dimming expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts that had previously underpinned crypto’s bull case.
It is worth noting the platform context. Jason’s current position is held on Binance, not on Hyperliquid, making real-time on-chain tracking of the exact account more difficult, as Odaily reported. The figures cited are derived from analyst monitoring of wallet behaviour and social media timestamps rather than direct smart contract reads. Nonetheless, the data is broadly consistent with Jason’s established trading fingerprint: high-conviction, concentrated directional bets placed at key technical inflection points.
Whether Wednesday’s short is prescient once again, or whether it becomes a cautionary tale in an eventual Bitcoin rebound, remains to be seen. What is clear is that a growing cohort of on-chain analysts are watching every move — and that in a market defined by opacity, Jason has become something of an unlikely signal in the noise.
Twenty-one crypto organizations have signed an open letter urging US colleges to incorporate decentralized finance into their curricula, arguing that there will be massive demand for crypto talent on Wall Street.
“Our purpose with this letter is simple: to respectfully urge higher education institutions across the United States to further integrate digital assets, blockchain, and decentralized finance into their business and legal curricula,” the open letter reads, which was published on Wednesday.
The campaign was spearheaded by decentralized protocol aggregator 1Inch, with signatories including the Solana Policy Institute, Blockchain Association, DeFi Education Fund and crypto platforms like Aave, MyEtherWallet, Delphi Digital and Messari.
While 1Inch acknowledged that DeFi is taught in some schools, it argued that current curricula treat it mostly as theoretical, and that students should gain a more practical understanding of a “critical part of the global financial ecosystem.”
“It is wrong to think, as some do, that DeFi and crypto technologies lack practical uses or are somehow deviant to the public good,” 1Inch said, pointing out that stablecoins eliminate cross-border payment friction, lending protocols offer yield opportunities for investors and tokenized assets enable trading around the clock.
“The theoretical phase is over. Ideas have already become infrastructure.”
In comments to Cointelegraph, 1Inch said it is pushing for more DeFi courses to be taught in the classroom because opportunities have expanded beyond developer roles to those in more business and legal roles.
“It’s no longer just hoodies; it’s suits and ties too,” 1Inch said, noting that Wall Street firms like Goldman Sachs and PwC are on the lookout for crypto talent beyond the tech-savvy programmers.
“The aim is to build on top of these greater DeFi understanding and practical knowledge, not just among the developers of tomorrow but CEOs and CLOs.”
The open letter asks for more “foundational education” in blockchain architecture and DeFi as a core module rather than as an elective course, with the course material touching on everything from automated market makers and liquidity provision to decentralized autonomous organizations and smart contract risks.
1Inch also suggested that students engage with DeFi systems directly to “gain a real-world understanding of how DeFi works.”
The biggest Wall Street firms are seeking DeFi experts
BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley were recently seen putting out job advertisements for DeFi-related roles.
This has also been reflected in Google search statistics, said 1Inch, showing that Google search volume for “Blockchain jobs” grew 84% between 2024 and 2026.
More specialized roles are accelerating even faster, with “DeFi Developer Jobs” increasing nearly 270% to 246,000 results, 1Inch said.

DeFi has had limited exposure to some US Ivy League colleges in the past.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology ran an “MIT Digital Currency Experiment” in 2014, which involved distributing Bitcoin (BTC) to students, while it later offered courses touching on blockchain ethics and distributed ledger technology.
Harvard’s extension school also offers a blockchain innovation course, while Texas A&M offered a “Bitcoin Protocol” course to business and engineering students in 2023.
On Tuesday, Bitcoin bull Michael Saylor said the Florida Department of Education approved Saylor Academy — a non-profit education platform — to operate as Saylor University.

Bitcoin (BTC) slid 2.5% around Wednesday’s Wall Street open as a fresh US inflation overshoot spooked markets.
Key points:
-
US PPI inflation surpasses market expectations again, continuing its “hot” 2026 trend.
-
BTC price pressure results at the Wall Street open, as markets brace for the Federal Reserve interest-rates decision.
-
Traders see no reason to rethink their bearish stance on Bitcoin.
Fed rates “less supportive” for Bitcoin, crypto
Data from TradingView showed $72,000 coming back into focus for BTC price action after the February print of the Producer Price Index (PPI).
This came in markedly above expectations at 0.7% month-on-month and 3.4% year-on-year, extending a trend from recent months. Markets had foreseen 0.3% and 3%, respectively.
“On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand rose 3.4 percent for the 12 months ended in February, the largest 12- month advance since increasing 3.4 percent in February 2025,” an official statement from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) confirmed.
The timing of the release was pertinent, coming just hours before the Federal Reserve was due to release its decision on interest-rate changes.
While markets saw practically no chance of a rate cut or hike, the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting could still spark volatility based on the tone of Chair Jerome Powell’s accompanying statement and press conference.
“Macro remains the dominant driver into what is arguably the most important central bank week of the year,” trading company QCP Capital wrote in its latest “Market Color” analysis on the day.
QCP noted that other major central bank rate moves were scheduled for the day after the Fed.
“Markets have sharply pared easing expectations as higher oil prices complicate the path for rate cuts, even as growth and labour data soften,” it continued.
“For crypto, the implication is straightforward: the rates backdrop is becoming less supportive, not more.”
Lower interest rates imply better liquidity prospects for crypto and risk assets, while a hawkish Fed tends to pressure prices.
”Caution pays” for BTC price into FOMC
Going into FOMC, Bitcoin traders were firmly risk-off.

Crypto analyst Michaël van de Poppe, meanwhile, was more optimistic, still seeing a chance of $80,000 reappearing.
“Very strong move on $BTC this month, and now it’s consolidating. Nothing wrong with that, the opposite actually,” he told X followers.
“It’s very likely that we’ll continue to test higher, as resistances are still above us.”
Van de Poppe acknowledged that he also “wouldn’t be surprised” at a test of range lows.

Circle’s policy chief Dante Disparte told a United Kingdom House of Lords committee that the UK has a chance to build its crypto regime by combining the clarity of the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) with elements of the new US stablecoin framework.
“The model is clear: take the best of both and make it distinctly British,” Disparte said during a Wednesday meeting of the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee. “From Europe, take clarity, definitions, licensing, governance and strong consumer protection from the US and the landmark Genius Act.”
Disparte argued that the absence of a regulatory framework will keep stablecoin activity offshore, leaving UK users more exposed and jeopardizing London’s status as a global hub for financial innovation. The meeting was part of the House of Lords’ inquiry into growth and proposed regulation of stablecoins in the UK, with Disparte and Jesse McWaters of Mastercard scheduled as witnesses.
The UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has been consulting on a broader crypto asset regime that is expected to come into force on Oct. 25, 2027, when companies conducting the new regulated activities will need authorization.
Trusted stablecoins “expand” markets Circle’s Disparte
Disparte also addressed concerns that stablecoins could deplete bank deposits and reduce demand for traditional lines of credit.
“The future is not banks versus stablecoins,” argued Disparte, adding that a clear regulatory framework can manage these risks without stifling innovation by adopting strong reserve and liquidity standards and encouraging bank participation.
“Our growth across currencies and jurisdictions is proof that trusted stablecoins expand markets. They do not shrink them.”
Disparte proposed four governing principles to anchor the UK’s regulatory framework: 1-to-1 reserve backing, requiring high-quality liquid reserves, enforceable redemptions and strong transparency standards.

Stablecoins lack clear value proposition
Mastercard’s McWaters said stablecoins lack a clear value proposition to threaten payment cards.
Stablecoins currently lack a “clear value proposition that would drive customers” to adopt them over the variety of domestic payment options available, McWaters said, while also praising their ability to accelerate cross-border transactions.
“Blockchain technology, the rails on which stablecoins run, provides a new, innovative and potentially significantly additive way of moving money, particularly in cross-border contexts,” he said.

The Kingdom of Bhutan has transferred over $72.3 million in Bitcoin (BTC) from its wallets over the last 24 hours, as it continues to sell portions of its holdings.
Druk Holding and Investments (DHI), a state-owned investment company that manages the country’s Bitcoin mining operations and crypto investments, has moved more than 973 BTC over the past 24 hours, in six separate transactions, according to Arkham Intelligence.
DHI also moved more than 175 BTC, valued at $11.8 million, on March 10. “Bhutan periodically sells portions of its Bitcoin in clips of $5 million to $10 million, with a particularly heavy period of selling around mid-late September 2025,” Arkham said.
The landlocked South Asian country has adopted a national Bitcoin Development Pledge, which aims to support the Kingdom of Bhutan’s long-term economic development through its Bitcoin stash and mining operations. In December, the Kingdom said it will tap into 10,000 BTC from its stash to help build its special administrative region, the Gelephu Mindfulness City (GMC).
That leaves Bhutan holding more than 4,400 BTC, valued at over $322 million using current market prices, according to data compiled by Arkham.
Wallet addresses controlled by Bhutan have not seen BTC inflows greater than $100 million in over a year, Arkham said, raising speculation that the country has ceased or curtailed its mining operations.
Cointelegraph sought comment from DHI about its Bitcoin mining operations, but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
The country made headlines in 2024 and 2025 for mining BTC using renewable energy sources, establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve, and adopting pro-crypto regulations.

Bhutan has significantly downsized its holdings since 2024
Bhutan transferred more than 284 BTC in February, valued at over $22 million, amid a broad crypto market downturn that has dragged on since the October 2025 market crash.
The crash took the price of BTC to a low of $60,000, down by over 50% from its all-time high of about $126,000, before a limited recovery to current price levels.
Bhutan held about 13,295 BTC in October 2024, when its holdings peaked, and has been selling BTC from its reserve since that time, according to Arkham Intelligence.
The 13,295 BTC reserve would have been worth over $1.6 billion at the all-time high price reached in October 2025, immediately before the market crash.

Bitcoin financial services firm Fold reported an 8% surge in revenue in Q4 to $9 million as it gained another 2,000 customers and rolled out more products aimed at integrating Bitcoin reward schemes into consumer spending.
The results come just weeks after it released a Fold Bitcoin Rewards Credit Card, a Visa and Stripe-powered product, offering users cashback and rewards.
During Fold’s Q4 and 2025 full-year earnings call on Tuesday, CEO Will Reeves said they believe that “Bitcoin rewards will overtake the airline miles as the preferred consumer reward in the US.”
“That means that these card programs and our card program needs to scale to millions of cardholders,” Reeves said, adding that better risk and fraud controls must be implemented before it can “really open the floodgates” for mass adoption.
Coinbase, Gemini, Swan Bitcoin and River Financial are among the other crypto platforms offering Bitcoin (BTC) credit card rewards in the US.
Despite the optimism, Fold recorded a 3% year-on-year fall in transaction volume to $215 million and an operating loss of $6 million, contributing to a full-year net loss of $69.6 million for 2025, the company reported in its latest financial statement.
However, Reeves said Fold still hit its goals in its first full year as a public company, stating:
“We continued to add customers and expand our platform while building the foundation to scale a Bitcoin-native financial services ecosystem across multiple interconnected product lines.”
Fold’s more recent products include Fold for Business, enabling companies to include Bitcoin in payroll, bonuses, and corporate financial programs.
One of its most notable partners is Steak ‘n Shake, which accepts Bitcoin and pays employees bonuses in Bitcoin.
Reeves noted that Fold has strengthened its balance sheet by “extinguishing our two outstanding convertible debt instruments.”
This “removes structural overhang and directs financing solely to the growth of our operating businesses,” he said.
“With the credit card now live, the launch of an enterprise product, and a cleaner capital structure in place, 2026 is about scaling what we’ve built across customer acquisition, engagement, cross-sell, and retention.”
Fold has been selling Bitcoin
Despite Reeves’ confidence for the remainder of 2026, Fold has nearly sliced its Bitcoin treasury in half.
Its holdings, which stood at 1,527 BTC at the end of last year, have dropped to 827 BTC as of March 17.
FLD shares continue to slide
The Bitcoin selloff comes as Fold (FLD) shares have now fallen 59% so far in 2026 and 83.8% over the last 12 months, Google Finance data shows.

Magazine: Big Questions: Can Bitcoin save you from the dreaded Cantillon Effect?
A California court on Wednesday dismissed a Coinbase user’s attempt to block an IRS summons for his financial records, in at least the second such case in the past year to fail to reach trial.
Roger Metz filed a petition in the Northern District of California in May 2025 to quash an IRS summons ordering Coinbase to hand over his financial records in connection with an audit of his 2022 federal tax return.
His lawyers argued the summons violated his privacy rights, was overbroad and failed to meet basic administrative requirements.
Metz’s lawyers also contended that by the time the IRS issued the summons in 2024, he had already identified the error himself, filed an amended return, and paid the additional tax owed.
US District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín ruled against Metz on Wednesday, finding that he had failed to notify the required government officials of the petition within the 90-day window and dismissed the case on procedural grounds.
Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, defendants must be formally notified of lawsuits to ensure they receive notice and the opportunity to respond. In this case, suing the federal government required notifying three parties within 90 days of filing: the local US Attorney for the district, the US Attorney General in Washington, D.C., and the specific agency being challenged.
Case dismissed over “insufficient service of process”
Metz acknowledged serving the US Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California and the IRS, but admitted he did not notify the US Attorney General in Washington within the 90-day deadline, according to the court documents. Government lawyers argued it was sufficient grounds for dismissal.
“In his opposition brief, Metz does not offer any explanation for his failure to serve the United States within 90 days after filing his petition, much less that he had good cause,” Judge Martínez-Olguín said in her ruling.
“Dismissal of a case is proper when there is insufficient service of process,” she added.
The case was dismissed without prejudice, meaning Metz could file the same petition again at a later date.
Exchanges are required to share user data with tax agencies
Major crypto exchanges are legally required to collect user information and report the taxable income to the IRS, according to Miles Brooks, the director of tax strategy at tax software company CoinLedger.

The agency can also issue “John Doe Summons,” which are used to identify large groups of unidentified taxpayers by legally compelling crypto exchanges to turn over records for customers within specific parameters, such as those who transacted $20,000 or more between 2016 and 2020.
In a related case last year, James Harper accused the IRS of violating his Fourth Amendment rights after the agency used a John Doe Summons to collect his data from a crypto exchange. The Supreme Court declined to hear his case.

Blockchain prediction markets platform Polymarket is acquiring Brahma, a crypto startup that provides decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure.
“As part of this transition, our team will dedicate itself to evolving Polymarket’s stack and product suite,” Brahma stated in an announcement on Wednesday.
Brahma, founded in 2021, says it has processed over $1 billion in volume and may be used by Polymarket to reduce friction around wallet creation, deposits, and token redemptions.
The acquisition could also bring more liquidity to niche, low-volume prediction markets on Polymarket.
“Building reliable infrastructure across blockchain networks and traditional financial rails is hard—there are no shortcuts,” Shayne Coplan, founder and CEO of Polymarket, told Fortune.
He added that the Brahma team has shown it can design, operate and scale complex products for sophisticated users. Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed at the time.
Brahma to wind down products
In its four years of operation, Brahma has developed three main products: Strategy Vaults for automated DeFi strategies; Brahma Accounts, smart accounts for DeFi users; and Swype.fun, a Visa card linked to DeFi positions for real-world spending.
The firm stated that each product will be wound down over the next 30 days as the acquisition proceeds.

Hyperliquid price rallied over 20% in the past seven days, reclaiming $40 as support, driven by record commodities trading activity on its perpetual futures markets.
Summary
- Hyperliquid price rose over 20% in a week, reclaiming $40 support amid record trading volumes in commodity perpetual futures like oil and silver.
- Whale activity surged, with over $3.6 billion in leveraged positions boosting liquidity and supporting continued price momentum.
- Bullish technical indicators and strong inflows signal potential upside, with $50 as the next key resistance and all-time highs in focus.
According to data from crypto.news, Hyperliquid (HYPE) price rallied 22% to a four-month high of $42.1 on Wednesday, March 18, before stabilizing around $41.3 at the time of writing. At this price, it remains up over 38% in the past month and 100% above its year-to-date low.
Hyperliquid’s price surge can primarily be attributed to record-breaking activity in commodity perpetual futures, specifically Crude Oil (WTI) and Silver, enabled through its HIP 3 framework.
On-chain data shows that oil-linked perpetual contracts on Hyperliquid surpassed $1.2 billion in 24-hour trading volume, making them the second most traded assets on the platform after Bitcoin.
Another major catalyst supporting HYPE tokens’ gains is the surge in whale activity on the platform. According to recent reports, whales have positioned at least $3.6 billion in positions across its leveraged markets. This, in turn, increased the liquidity and market depth, creating a virtuous cycle for further price appreciation.
Adding another layer of utility, Hyperliquid has become a 24/7 macro barometer for traders seeking to hedge or speculate on oil and metals prices that have soared to record highs amid geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. Traditional markets like the CME and ICE remain closed during weekends and holidays.
Meanwhile, the surge in the platform’s trading fees driven by this commodity frenzy is fueling expectations of increased token buybacks, as the protocol is mandated to use a vast majority of revenue to support the HYPE token via its Assistance Fund.
On the daily chart, Hyperliquid price seems to be rising within an ascending parallel channel pattern, a popular bullish continuation pattern in technical analysis.
Amidst its recent surge, HYPE price has surpassed its Feb. 3 high of $38.4, which had been acting as a stubborn resistance level.
Technical indicators seem to confirm this strength. Notably, the Aroon Up showed a reading of 100% in comparison to a 14.29% reading on its down counterpart, a sign that the uptrend is exceptionally strong and trending toward new highs.
At the same time, the Chaikin Money Flow index showed a positive reading of 0.16. Positive readings on this metric indicate that buying pressure is dominant and that capital is flowing steadily into the asset.
Hence, the path of least resistance for Hyperliquid price suggests a potential rally past the $50 psychological resistance.
A sharp break above this key resistance amid strong bullish momentum could push prices towards its all-time high of $59.30, especially if the ongoing tensions in the Middle East continue to drive traders toward decentralized commodity markets over the coming weeks.

Solana Price Prediction: DeepSnitch AI Frenzy Takes Over Traders As March 31 Launch Approaches, SOL Challenges $95 and ETH Bulls Eye $2.6K
Two Democratic lawmakers introduced the BETS OFF Act this week, aiming to put an end to insider government information being used in prediction markets related to the US-Iran conflict.
With government officials once again pushing back against prediction markets, the retail sector is primarily focused on the market-wide recovery. The Solana price prediction is gaining a lot of attention as SOL prepares to challenge the $95 resistance, but those looking to achieve higher returns are already rotating into the DeepSnitch AI presale.
Securing $2.2M ahead of its March 31 launch, the DeepSnitch AI community is confident in the project’s 100x-300x potential.
BETS OFF Act to crack down on insider trading
On March 17, Greg Casar and Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy introduced the Banning Event Trading on Sensitive Operations and Federal Functions Act that targets prediction market accounts that place bets that could indicate insider information.
Casar was blunt, saying that decisions about war and peace, life and death, should not be driven by financial positions riding on the outcome.
California Senator Adam Schiff’s DEATH BETS Act, introduced last week (targets event contracts related to war, terrorism, assassination, and individual deaths), which deepened the controversy after a military correspondent received death threats tied to resolving a Polymarket prediction.
Both Polymarket and Kalshi are logging high volumes as they navigate growing regulatory pressure.
Many traders are steering clear of prediction markets, though, and still prefer tracking the Solana price prediction and exploring presale projects like DeepSnitch AI.
Coins you should keep an eye on in March
1. DeepSnitch AI: The highest upside opportunity in 2026?
Although the Solana price prediction is finally showing signs of life, DeepSnitch AI is making rounds due to its unique offering that brings potential gains and solves existing problems for traders.
For starters, the project raised $2.2M at $0.04487, and the trending launch is confirmed for March 31. However, utility is still the star of the show.
Powered by five AI agents, the analytics platform includes multiple life-saving and advantage-centric features, such as a risk scanner and a real-time sentiment and FUD tracker.
These two alone are worth your time as the risk scanner will help you avoid rug pulls and honeypots, while tracking sentiment assists you in finding the perfect time to exit a position.
Two weeks away from launch, and 41.7 million DSNT tokens have been staked, and with the conviction reaching its pinnacle, traders are convinced the toolset behind the project will lead to mass adoption and ensure the project’s long-term growth.
FOMO for DeepSnitch AI is quickly building as the entry room shrinks and traders continue throwing out 100x-300x predictions, much more than any realistic short-term SOL price target can get you.
2. Solana price prediction: Will SOL close above $95?
According to CoinMarketCap, SOL hovered right below the $95 breakdown level on March 18.
This line will determine the short-term Solana market outlook. Closing above will allow recovery to $117.
Yet, since the bear market has deepened, the Solana forecast 2026 is unlikely to be clear-cut, and SOL will pull back from the test of $117.
If it holds $95 after the breakdown, the bullish case will remain in play, putting the SOL price target at $147.
Those watching the Solana price prediction are also fearing an extended correction, which could happen if SOL plummets below $87.
3. Ethereum price prediction: ETH at $2.4K next?
Ethereum started climbing up from $2.3K on March 18, according to CoinMarketCap.
Similar to the Solana price prediction, ETH is quite close to breaking out, and the consolidation is slowly turning into a bullish crossover.
The path to $2.6K is open, and on the technical level, the $3.45K as the extended target.
Bears could still muck up the chart if the price closes below the 20-day EMA around $2K, as it will likely lead to a decline to $1.9K.
Final words: Maintain the momentum
Despite prediction market warfare deepening on a regulatory level, the last few days were surprisingly bullish for traders. The Solana price showing potential is one of the clearest signs, for instance.
However, volatility could still come back to erase the gains, which is why the best way to maintain the bullish momentum is to capitalize on DeepSnitch AI’s March 31 launch.
You can even take it a step beyond and go for bullish wins by participating in the exclusive bonus program (applicable until TGE) and apply DSNTVIP300 at your $30K+ allocations to unlock 300% extra tokens.
Make this count – join the DeepSnitch AI presale and become a part of the community discourse on X or Telegram.
FAQs
1. What is the Solana price prediction, and what levels matter most right now?
SOL is pressing the critical $95 resistance level. A clean break above it targets $117 first, then $147 if $95 holds on any pullback.
2. What is the BETS OFF Act, and what does it mean for prediction markets?
The BETS OFF Act is legislation introduced by Representative Greg Casar and Senator Chris Murphy targeting prediction market accounts that allegedly used insider government information to bet on the US-Iran conflict.
3. Why is DeepSnitch AI grabbing attention right now?
DeepSnitch AI has announced a March 31 launch, and since the project offers a unique approach to AI-sourced trading analytics and provides daily usability, traders are anticipating the project to pump by 100x-300x.

Dogecoin Price Prediction Turns Bullish, but Smart Money Is Moving to Pepeto for the Returns That DOGE Cannot Deliver, Here is Why
Peter Brandt believes Ethereum might have bottomed out at $2,300, targeting $4,000. The dogecoin price prediction for 2026 has turned bullish as DOGE reclaims its footing after months of correction.
But while the dogecoin price prediction plays out from a $15 billion cap, the wallets building real wealth have moved to early projects with room for exponential growth.
According to analyst ARI ZAIM, the Dogecoin price has been trading inside a descending channel since September, and a breakout could push the price to $0.116 according to CoinGecko.
In the long run, ARI ZAIM expects the Dogecoin price to rally to $0.280. DOGE climbed 5.9% on the weekly timeframe to $0.100, and the 200 SMA at $0.152 is the next major target according to CoinGecko. The dogecoin price prediction is building on real signals, but even the bullish case delivers growth measured in percentages from $15 billion.

While some investors are still watching the dogecoin price prediction move candle by candle, the wallets building real wealth have moved into early projects with room for exponential growth. One project pulling that capital is Pepeto. It has attracted a growing community of holders with its zero fee exchange and cross chain tools, raising more than $8.1 million in presale funding.
The token is priced at $0.000000186, giving every new holder an entry that large cap meme coins stopped offering years ago. The Pepeto token is central to the entire ecosystem. Holders earn 196% APY staking rewards that compound daily, and the token powers every transaction across PepetoSwap. With a 420 trillion supply matching Pepe and three working products built, this token could deliver the kind of returns the dogecoin price prediction simply cannot promise from $15 billion.
Holders who enter the Pepeto ecosystem get access to three tools that work together. PepetoSwap handles every trade at zero cost, the bridge moves tokens across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Solana for nothing, and the risk scorer flags dangerous contracts before your capital goes near them. Together, they form a complete trading layer that protects your money, moves it across chains, and scores every new token before you decide to enter.
The SolidProof audit was completed before the presale opened, the cofounder of the original Pepe coin leads the project, and the Binance listing is approaching. Given the working tools, the original team, and an entry that disappears at listing, Pepeto might be the early project that delivers returns Pepeto offers far more than the dogecoin price prediction delivers in 2026.
Dogecoin Price Prediction: DOGE Targets $0.116 Breakout With $0.280 as the Long Term Goal
DOGE trades at $0.094 with a $15.96 billion market cap according to CoinMarketCap. The descending channel breakout targets $0.110, and if buying pressure holds, the long term target sits at $0.280.
Technical analysis shows bulls gaining control with the RSI climbing.
Monad Approaches Two Month Resistance but Needs a Clear Breakout Above $0.025
Monad climbed 10.2% on the weekly chart to $0.024 and now it’s trading around $0.023, approaching a two month resistance at $0.025 according to CoinGecko.
The RSI at 68 shows buying pressure building. A break above could open a path to $0.030, but unproven fundamentals and low liquidity make it speculative.
A Bullish Dogecoin Price Prediction Offers Comfort but Imagine What Pepeto Does After It Actually Lists on Binance
A bullish dogecoin price prediction is comforting after a correction, but the real energy has shifted toward early projects like Pepeto that offer tools DOGE never built and an entry price DOGE can never offer again. Pepeto has raised over $8.1 million while the market corrected, proving that capital flows into real products even when the Fear Index sits at 37.
Imagine how far it goes after the Binance listing puts it in front of millions of traders who have never seen it.
