Telegram games also differ from traditional mobile games in how closely they can connect gameplay with online…

The market is debating whether the recent correction represents just another weak hand shake-out. On-chain data shows that such a scenario is indeed quite plausible. From a technical perspective, BTC’s almost 2% pullback has caused its price to approach $82k after the weekly wick failed to reclaim $87k. This creates the perfect environment for a liquidity sweep, which has forced leveraged longs to unwind their positions as the upside thesis is abruptly flushed away. Coinglass reports that the amount of long liquidations crossed above $250 million, representing the largest flush in almost a week. As of now, the liquidations have…

The increased usage reinforced the buyback story as the platform revenue continued supporting direct PUMP buys. At press time, Pump.fun had spent $466.25 million on buybacks, removing 16.84% of the total token supply.

Unlike whale accumulation, corporate accumulation has much more weight. The logic is simple: Whales usually buy Bitcoin [BTC] for risk/reward prospects and portfolio diversification, while corporations are adding Bitcoin to their treasury reserves. Therefore, a prolonged period of BTC price decline may considerably hurt corporate finances, stock prices, and the overall market confidence. On the flip side, sustained DAT accumulation could generate the reverse effect, as it would boost corporate exposure to BTC and add another layer of demand on the asset. Notably, with fresh momentum building around Bitcoin DATs, the Q4 narrative around corporate BTC accumulation may already be…
