DEX token ASTER surged as Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) purchased approximately 2 million of them, sending a wave of speculative demand across the market. Investors interpreted the purchase as a signal of confidence from one of crypto’s most influential figures, and ASTER climbed nearly 20% in response.The underlying project behind ASTER is a rebranded derivative platform that merged from older tokens (including APX) and relaunched with a token-generation event in September 2025. ASTER’s max supply is 8 billion tokens, with over half allocated to community incentives such as airdrops and strategic distribution. The platform packages itself as a hybrid…

Opinion by: Louise Ivan, co-founder and CEO of RyderStep aside, maximalists. Crypto isn’t the domain of early adopters and philosophically driven “hodlers” anymore. The demographics of crypto usage are shifting fast, with stablecoins, in particular, leading the charge.Forget about newcomers stacking sats. In Q3 2025, Tether’s USDt (USDT) and Circle’s USDC (USDC) collectively accounted for approximately 40% of the total crypto volume. This gargantuan figure is due, in part, to folks from emerging regions like Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America wanting a better way to move their money.Their reasons for diving into crypto are practical and straightforward. If crypto…

Bitcoin price has rebounded slightly to $109,600 after yesterday’s dip to $106,000, ending what has been a tumultuous October for bitcoin. Traders are now cautiously optimistic as the market transitions from the failed “Uptober” rally to the historically stronger month of November.

Maximal extractable value (MEV), the process of miners or validators reordering transactions in a block to extract profits, is preventing financial institutions from adopting decentralized finance (DeFi), which hurts retail users, according to Aditya Palepu, CEO of DEX Labs, the lead contributor to decentralized crypto derivatives exchange DerivaDEX.All electronically-traded markets suffer from maximal extractable value or similar issues inherent in the information asymmetry in ordering trading transaction data, Palepu told Cointelegraph. The solution is to prevent order flow data from being visible before execution through processing transactions in trusted execution environments, which handle transactions privately through a funded vault or some…

The recent focus on the XRP price surge and detailed Cardano (ADA) price analysis inadvertently underscores a crucial bottleneck: the blockchain sector’s high technical barrier.

Beyond its superior security and speed, its revolutionary architecture is rooted in a “Low-Code/No-Code” platform designed for mass adoption. This pivot transforms dApp creation from an elite programmer’s task into an accessible utility for entrepreneurs and creators, unlocking…
