San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly is the latest Fed official to comment on the possibility of a Fed rate cut. Daly suggested that an interest rate cut will come at some point, but warned that there was no need for them to be in a hurry. Two Fed Rate Cuts This Year Are
Japanese firm Metaplanet saw its stock price surge to three-month highs on Monday after announcing its latest Bitcoin (BTC) acquisition. The company added 1,004 BTC to its treasury, marking its third significant purchase this month.
A week earlier, it had acquired 1,241 BTC, surpassing El Salvador’s reserves. Previously, on May 7, Metaplanet made a comparatively smaller purchase of 555 BTC.
“From July 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, the Company’s BTC Yield was 41.7%. From October 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, the Company’s BTC Yield was 309.8%. From January 1, 2025, to March 31, 2025, the company achieved a BTC Yield of 95.6%. Quarter to Date, from April 1, 2025, to May 19, 2025, the Company’s BTC Yield is 47.8%,” the statement read.
The company now holds a total of 7,800 Bitcoin, with an aggregate investment of 105.38 billion yen, or roughly $712.5 million. The average historical purchase price across its Bitcoin holdings stands at 13.5 million yen per BTC, approximately $91,343 per coin.
Meanwhile, following the news, Metaplanet stock, 3350.T, appreciated by 12.6%, according to Yahoo Finance data. At press time, its trading price was 702 yen ($4.8), marking highs last seen on February 13.
Over the past month alone, 3350.T’s value has increased by 101.7%, greatly benefiting from Bitcoin’s latest rally. In fact, since adopting a Bitcoin reserve strategy, the stock prices have increased over 15-fold.
The firm’s financial performance further supports this upward trajectory. In its Q1 FY2025 earnings report, Metaplanet disclosed revenues of $6 million, with 88% derived from Bitcoin options trading.
This highlighted the important role BTC plays in its financial success. As the firm continues integrating Bitcoin into its economic strategy, it is setting a new benchmark for corporate crypto adoption in the region.
Pi Network, a prominent crypto project with a large user community, faces major pressure in Q2 2025. Although public interest in the project has declined, many Pioneers still hope for a strong price rally.
However, a significant amount of Pi tokens will be unlocked this month and in the coming months. This, combined with weakening liquidity, could make it difficult for Pi Coin to recover.
Pi Network Trading Volume Plummets as Circulating Supply Rises Sharply
According to data from PiScan, 212.2 million Pi tokens will be unlocked in May, 222.6 million in June, and 233.4 million in July. Notably, the period from May to July will see the largest Pi unlock events until September 2027.
This sharp increase in supply, along with the rising number of Pi tokens held on exchanges, is adding serious downward pressure on the price. PiScan data shows that the total Pi balance on centralized exchanges (CEXs) now exceeds 387 million tokens. Compared to a report in February, the amount of Pi on exchanges has doubled in less than three months.
Specifically, Bitget holds over 95 million Pi, while OKX holds nearly 154 million. This increase suggests that many investors may be ready to sell, increasing the risk of a price drop even if a short-term recovery occurs.
More concerning is the lack of liquidity growth alongside the rise in circulating supply. CoinMarketCap data reveals that Pi Coin’s trading volume has plunged from over $1.3 billion at launch to about $45 million—a 96% drop.
This dramatic decrease reflects a sharp decline in trading demand, raising concerns about the market’s ability to absorb newly unlocked supply.
Why Pioneers Still Expect Pi Price to Rebound in May
Despite the challenges, the Pi investor community holds an optimistic outlook.
Their hopes are partly based on unconfirmed rumors that surfaced in early May, suggesting Binance may list Pi. A Pi investor account with over 100,000 followers on X claimed that the Pi Core Team and Binance are in the final stages of negotiation.
“Soon! Pi will be listed on Binance Exchange, PCT is in final negotiation with Binance,” Pi Barter Mall declared.
Another key factor supporting a bullish outlook is the upcoming appearance of Dr. Nicolas Kokkalis, the founder of Pi Network, at Consensus 2025.
In addition, since its mainnet launch, Pi Network has achieved several milestones. These include Chainlink integrating with the Pi Network and Telegram Crypto Wallet integrating Pi as well.
At the time of writing, Pi’s price remains steady at around $0.58, as it has since the beginning of May. This reflects the cautious sentiment of Pi traders this month.
Massive Early Gains: Shiba Inu, Pepe, and Why Pepeto Is Next in Line
Shiba Inu and Pepe have made history in the meme coin world, delivering life-changing returns for early investors. Shiba Inu famously transformed small bets into millions, climbing over 80,000,000% from its launch price to its all-time high, making headlines as one of the biggest gainers in crypto history. Similarly, Pepe followed a similar explosive path, rising quickly to dominate meme coin rankings and rewarding early adopters with massive profits during its peak.
However, while both coins saw extraordinary success, their futures now look limited. With Shiba Inu’s market cap sitting in the multi-billion range and Pepe hovering near its top price levels, the potential for similar gains has largely faded, as it becomes difficult to achieve exponential growth at such high valuations.
That’s why investors are turning their attention to the next big contender: Pepeto. Still in its presale phase, Pepeto is generating serious buzz with its dramatic backstory, growing community, and real-world utility through the upcoming Pepeto Exchange and zero-fee PepetoSwap. Currently priced at just $0.000000127 per token, Pepeto offers a rare chance to buy in early. With a listing expected soon, excitement is building for what could be the next breakout in the meme coin space.
Pepe vs. Pepeto: Rumors, Shiba’s Legacy, and Why Pepeto Could Be the Next Big Thing
Rumors are circulating about the intriguing relationship between Pepe and Pepeto, sparking plenty of buzz in the crypto community. According to Pepeto’s backstory, Pepe rose to fame by taking only part of the original concept, claiming four key values: Power, Energy, Precision, and Efficiency, but leaving behind two critical components: Technology and Optimisation. Pepeto now brings the complete package, offering real long-term value and utility that sets it apart from typical meme coins. With plans for the Pepeto Exchange and zero-fee PepetoSwap, Pepeto is positioning itself as a stronger project than both Shiba and Pepe. As speculation builds, many see Pepeto as the next major opportunity, with the potential to match or even surpass the legendary gains of Shiba and Pepe.
Presales like Pepeto’s highlight why early entry can be a game-changer, lower price, more potential, and a vision backed by real tools.
