Official Trump coin surges as Donald Trump declares the US a Bitcoin superpower

  • Official Trump coin jumps 11.8% after Trump’s Bitcoin superpower remarks.
  • Whale activity and bullish charts fuel momentum above $8.00.
  • Republic deal talks hint at expanding TRUMP’s real-world utility.

The Official Trump coin is soaring once again, powered by a mix of political momentum, whale activity, and bullish technical signals.

Donald Trump has declared his vision of making the United States the “Bitcoin superpower,” and traders and investors are turning their eyes toward the politically charged digital asset that bears his name.

Trump’s pro-crypto stance sparks a market rally

The Official Trump coin has risen sharply, climbing over 11.8% in the past 24 hours to trade near $7.88, outpacing the broader crypto market’s decline of around 1.3%.

The move followed US President Donald Trump’s statement that he wants to turn the United States into “the Bitcoin superpower, the crypto capital of the world.”

President Trump described Bitcoin and digital assets as tools that “take pressure off the dollar” and help strengthen US competitiveness against China.

Those remarks triggered an immediate reaction across politically linked cryptocurrencies, including the Official Trump (TRUMP) memecoin.

On major exchanges such as Binance and Bybit, daily trading volume for TRUMP exceeded $1 billion, placing it among the day’s top performers.

Analysts note that the memecoin’s price surge coincided with a technical pattern that had been forming for months.

According to prominent analyst Captain Faibik, TRUMP confirmed a breakout from a long-term falling wedge pattern — a setup often seen as a bullish reversal.

The move above the upper trendline resistance has opened the door for potential upside targets between $18 and $20 if the momentum continues.

Whale activity and technical tailwinds boost the Official Trump coin price

Beyond politics, data from on-chain and derivatives platforms support a bullish narrative.

Whale wallets have shown renewed accumulation, with roughly $91 million in net inflows recorded over the past three days.

Open interest has doubled to $351 million, signalling heightened speculative activity.

Funding rates have also turned positive, indicating that long positions now dominate short bets.

From a technical analysis standpoint, the Official Trump price looks strong in the near term.

The meme coin recently bounced off its 50-day exponential moving average near $7.29 and broke above key resistance at $7.96 — the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level.

The Relative Strength Index (RSI) sits around 57, pointing to growing bullish momentum without yet entering overbought territory.

The MACD indicator remains in a positive crossover, confirming that upward momentum is intact.

However, some analysts caution that volatility remains high.

With roughly 80% of the Official Trump coin supply reportedly held by entities linked to Trump’s inner circle, concerns about centralisation and potential profit-taking persist.

A correction toward the 50-day EMA cannot be ruled out if short-term traders decide to lock in gains.

Expansion plans and policy links drive speculation

Adding to the excitement are reports that Fight Fight Fight LLC, the issuer behind the Official Trump coin, is in talks to acquire Republic.com’s US operations.

Republic is a major crowdfunding platform with over $3 billion in assets, and the rumoured deal could expand TRUMP’s use cases beyond its meme coin origins.

If confirmed, the acquisition could integrate the token into startup fundraising and payment systems, offering it a real-world function that few political coins possess.

For now, speculation about this potential deal, coupled with Trump’s pro-Bitcoin comments and talk of a US “strategic Bitcoin reserve,” has given traders plenty to bet on.

Outlook for the Official Trump coin price

The coming weeks will test whether the Official Trump coin price can sustain its breakout and build on the momentum from Trump’s latest remarks.

Key resistance, according to analysts, remains near $8.07, while holding above $6.64 will be crucial for maintaining bullish sentiment.

If enthusiasm surrounding US crypto policy continues to grow — and the Republic acquisition moves forward — the token could once again approach its July high near $11.92.

Bitcoin steadies above $103k following recent dip; Check forecast

Key takeaways

  • BTC is trading above $103k, up 1.5% in the last 24 hours.
  • The coin could face further volatility amid weakening institutional demand.

Bitcoin reclaims $103k

The price of Bitcoin has been trading around $103k over the last few hours after rebounding from the $100k key support level on Wednesday. The short-term recovery is marred by the weakening institutional demand, as spot Bitcoin Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) recorded $137 million in outflows on Wednesday, bringing their losing streak to six days.

Furthermore, on-chain data reveal that Bitcoin could face further selling pressure if the $100k psychological level fails to hold. In its report on Wednesday, CryptoQuant noted that Bitcoin’s price is currently hovering near critical support levels, a breakdown of which could trigger a sharper market correction.

The report added that if Bitcoin faces enough selling pressure in the near term, it could lose its $100k support level and dump towards the next major psychological level at $72k. 

Bitcoin could retest the $100k support level

The BTC/USD 4-hour chart remains bearish and efficient after Bitcoin faced rejection around its previously broken trendline earlier this week and declined 8.18% on Tuesday. The dip saw Bitcoin retest the 50% retracement level at $100,353 before reclaiming the $103k level on Wednesday.

At press time, Bitcoin is trading around the $103k region. The RSI of 38 means that Bitcoin is still facing selling pressure, with the MACD lines also within the bearish region. 

If the support level at $100,350 holds, Bitcoin’s price could rally towards the next resistance level at $106,435 over the coming hours and days. An extended bullish run would allow Bitcoin to reclaim its weekly high above $109k.

However, if the support level fails to hold, Bitcoin could extend its decline toward the next daily support at $97,460. Further downward movement would see BTC trading below $90k for the first time in six months.

Bitcoin’s new problem: it’s not leverage, it’s long-term holders cashing out

  • Long-term holders have sold approximately 400,000 Bitcoin ($45B) in the past month.
  • This sell-off is driven by spot markets and fading conviction, not high leverage.
  • Bitcoin fell below the key $100,000 level for the first time since June.

Bitcoin has once again slipped below the critical $100,000 mark, but the force driving this latest downturn is different and potentially more concerning for the market.

Unlike the leverage-fueled crash in October, this sell-off is being driven by a quieter, more sustained exodus: long-term holders are cashing out, creating a $45 billion supply glut that is testing the market’s conviction.

The original cryptocurrency fell as much as 7.4% on Tuesday, marking a more than 20% decline from its record high a month ago.

While it has since staged a modest recovery, the nature of the selling pressure suggests a fundamental shift in market dynamics.

From forced liquidations to fading conviction

The key difference in this downturn is the source of the selling.

While October’s crash was defined by a cascade of forced liquidations from overleveraged traders, the current slide is being led by a steady drumbeat of selling in the spot market.

According to Markus Thielen, head of 10x Research, long-time Bitcoin holders have offloaded approximately 400,000 Bitcoin over the past month—an exodus valued at around $45 billion.

This sustained selling from seasoned investors is creating a market imbalance that new buyers are struggling to absorb.

This analysis is supported by on-chain data.

“Over 319,000 Bitcoin has been reactivated in the past month, mainly from coins held for six to twelve months — suggesting significant profit-taking since mid-July,” Vetle Lunde, head of research at K33, told Bloomberg.

The whale problem: big buyers are disappearing

With market leverage now relatively muted, attention has turned to the large, long-time holders who are choosing to sell.

Thielen told Bloomberg that “mega whales”—entities holding between 1,000 and 10,000 Bitcoin—began offloading large volumes earlier this year.

For a time, institutional players were able to absorb this supply, leading to choppy, sideways price action.

However, since the October crash, broader demand has faded, and the accumulation by smaller whales (holding 100 to 1,000 Bitcoin) has dropped sharply.

The result is a growing imbalance between sellers and buyers. “The whales are just not buying,” Thielen said.

What comes next? A path to further declines

This sustained selling from long-term holders could have lasting implications.

Thielen warns that the current unwind could continue well into next spring, drawing parallels to the 2021–2022 bear market, where large holders sold over one million Bitcoin over the course of nearly a year.

“If this is a similar pace,” he said, “we could see this situation going on for another six months.”

While not predicting a catastrophic crash, Thielen sees room for further declines as the market consolidates.

“I am not a believer in the cycle,” Thielen said, “but I would assume that we sort of consolidate and potentially drift even a bit lower from here. $85,000 is my maximum downside target.”

Lido adopts Chainlink CCIP to secure cross-chain wstETH transfers across 16+ blockchains

  • Lido is integrating Chainlink’s interoperability standard to power wrapped Staked Ether (wstETH) transfers.
  • The Chainlink cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) is now the official cross-chain infrastructure for wstETH.
  • wstETH will implement CCIP on supported chains in stages.

Lido, a leading liquid staking protocol on Ethereum, has announced a strategic partnership with Chainlink. 

The protocol has adopted the oracle network’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) as the official infrastructure for securing all cross-chain transfers of the Lido wrapped staked Ether (wstETH) token. 

Integration comes after the Lido DAO community approved the partnership via snapshot voting. 

Key details of the Lido and Chainlink partnership

According to details, the partnership leverages the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard to power wstETH transfers. 

It means all future cross-chain operations for wstETH will route through CCIP, replacing native bridges and third-party providers. Chainlink plans to implement this integration progressively across Lido’s 16 supported chains, which include Arbitrum, Base and Linea.

As well as that, there are early deployments on emerging networks, including Plasma, Monad, Ink, and 0G. 

Key benefits and strategic impact

Adopting CCIP unlocks multiple advantages for wstETH holders and DeFi builders. 

CCIP builds on Chainlink’s proven decentralized oracle network that secures over $100 billion in DeFi total value locked.

For wstETH, CCT enables self-serve token deployments, complete DAO ownership of contracts, and programmable features. 

For instance, future-proof expansion supports permissionless onboarding to most top blockchains, while  layered defenses add to security.

Already, Lido’s previous Chainlink integrations, including Data Feeds, power stETH/wstETH adoption across protocols like Aave. 

Lido’s move expands on these features. 

Jakov Buratovic, Master of DeFi at Lido, commented on the integration.

“For stakers, the ability to move assets quickly across the ecosystem is essential for seizing opportunities, rebalancing liquidity, and managing their staked ETH efficiently. By adopting Chainlink CCIP as the official cross-chain standard for wstETH, we’re giving users and builders a standardized, secure way to move wstETH across chains,” Buratovic said.

This partnership positions Lido for greater competitiveness in evolving markets.

Johann Eid, chief business officer at Chainlink Labs, also holds a similar view.

“This integration is set to significantly expand access to wstETH across DeFi, with cross-chain flows secured by Chainlink’s defense-in-depth architecture.”

Lido DAO price outlook

Lido DAO (LDO), the governance token of the Lido liquid-staking protocol, has gained about 5% in the past 24 hours. 

The LDO token gives holders the chance to vote on key protocol decisions such as validator onboarding and protocol upgrades.

The token traded around $0.76, up on the day but still well in the red over the past week and month. However, the token has bounced more than 133% from the all-time lows of $0.3278 reached on October 11, 2025. 

If bulls show resilience amid DeFi resurgence, they could retest the $1 mark.

Ripple announces $500M raise at $40 billion valuation

  • Ripple has raised $500 million in new funding round, at a $40 billion valuation.
  • Strategic investment signals strong confidence in XRP and Ripple USD stablecoin.
  • Momentum has seen Ripple close mega deals in 2025.

Ripple, the enterprise blockchain leader in cross-border payments, has secured a landmark $500 million strategic investment, with its valuation at $40 billion.

Led by global investment giants Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, the raise signals investor confidence in Ripple and its expanding role in global finance.

Ripple raises $500 million funding round

On Wednesday, November 5, 2025, as the crypto market grappled with sell-off pressure, Ripple delivered one of the biggest news .

The company announced it had secured $500 million in fresh funding, with the financing round valuing it at $40 billion.

Apart from Fortress Investment Group and Citadel Securities, participation attracted Pantera Capital, Galaxy Digital, Brevan Howard, and Marshall Wace.

Overall, this is a funding move that marks one of the largest private financings in the blockchain sector this year.

The raise comes after Ripple’s recent $1 billion tender offer at the same valuation.

Meanwhile, it’s a move that caps what the firm and its leadership have described as the crypto industry giant’s strongest year on record.

Brad Garlinghouse, the chief executive officer of Ripple, described the funding as validation of Ripple’s long-term vision.

“This investment reflects both Ripple’s incredible momentum, and further validation of the market opportunity we’re aggressively pursuing by some of the most trusted financial institutions in the world,” he noted. “We started in 2012 with one use case – payments – and have expanded that success into custody, stablecoins, prime brokerage and corporate treasury, leveraging digital assets like XRP. Today, Ripple stands as the partner for institutions looking to access crypto and blockchain.”

Ripple will tap into the new capital to support key platfom initiatives.

These will include product development, global regulatory engagement, and expansion of Ripple’s liquidity solutions.

Also on card are the company’s stablecoin initiative and custody services.

Ripple continues mega growth trajectory

The capital injection arrives amid a banner stretch for Ripple.

Payment volumes on the XRP Ledger have surged, as has adoption for the firm’s regulated stablecoin, Ripple USD (RLUSD).

Indeed, RLUSD recently surged past a $1 billion market cap.

Elsewhere, Ripple Prime, the institutional brokerage arm born from the acquisition of Hidden Road, is live.

These are only a few of the many milestones in Ripple’s transformation from a remittance-focused startup to a full-stack financial-technology provider.

In the past few months, the company has closed multiple deals, including those valued at $1 billion.

October’s purchase of GTreasury came after the earlier acquisition of Rail as Ripple looked to fortify its stablecoin footprint.

The company has also expanded its US presence with a New York trust charter earlier this year, enabling regulated custody and payment services.
