Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has proposed a five-year plan to simplify Ethereum’s base layer. Titled “Simplifying the L1,” the proposal aims to reduce complexity, lower development costs, and improve security. Inspired by Bitcoin’s clean and minimal design, Buterin suggests setting a cap on the number of code lines in Ethereum’s core protocol. This would help Ethereum become more resilient and easier to maintain over time, ensuring the network stays strong and efficient for the long run.
Xrp price is staying near $2.31 with low movement, according to CoinMarketCap. Xrp newsis focused on Ripple’s legal battle, and many analysts now believe the final ruling could shape the next wave. Most xrp price prediction reports see potential growth if the case ends in Ripple’s favor.
Pepe Coin: Still Popular, But Is the Opportunity Over?
Pepe Coin continues to get a lot of attention in the market. The price is now $0.00001312, with a total supply of 420 trillion tokens. According to CoinMarketCap, it has a market cap above $5.5 billion and sees over $500 million in daily trading. It’s listed on big exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, OKX, and KuCoin, giving it strong presence and easy access.
But what most people miss is that Pepe launched in April 2023. That means the coin is already over two years old. The biggest profits were made by early buyers who got in before the hype. For Pepe to double in value now, it would need billions of new money, which is hard without a real plan or purpose behind the project.
Pepe may still be trending, but for latecomers, the biggest rewards might already be out of reach.
A New Frog Makes Its Move: MIND of Pepe Prepares for Takeoff
As Pepe continues to lead meme coin chatter, another frog is getting ready to rise , MIND of Pepe.
This token blends the fun of memes with artificial intelligence. Its presale is wrapping up soon, already pulling in over $10 million from early backers. Those who join before the launch will get access to an AI terminal that gives market insights, trading signals, and pattern analysis. The AI also runs its own social posts, gaining followers on its own.
When the platform launches, users will be able to interact with the AI tool directly, with presale buyers getting early entry. Some say this mix of tech and meme culture could help MIND of Pepe make a strong first impression.
Still, some investors want more than features. They want a story, a mission, and something that lasts. That’s where Pepeto enters — a meme coin built on meaning, with roots deeper than any trend.
The Frog with the Full Name: Pepeto Returns to Rewrite History
Pepe made noise. MIND of Pepe brought AI. But neither tells the whole story. The real beginning starts with Pepeto— the frog who was there before them all, holding the truth that others left behind.
This is what really happened.
Pepe took the first four letters — P, E, P, E — and used them to build a name. But it was never complete. The last two letters — T and O — were left in the shadows. Those letters belong to Pepeto. And while others rushed into the spotlight, he waited, holding onto the full name, the full vision, and the real reason this story started.
Now he’s stepping out of the shadows — not as a trend, but as the origin. Not chasing hype, but claiming back his name and purpose.
People are tired of empty meme coins. Pepeto offers more — a real reason, a real structure, and a real plan.
Pepeto is audited, and you can track its value anytime on the website.
A mission to protect users from scams and shady devs
A story that fixes what others broke
A real community that believes in the message
Same 420T supply as Pepe, but at a presale price of just $0.000000130
This isn’t a new meme. It’s the original one coming back to claim what’s his. Pepeto is not a copy , he’s the source.
Some say a founding member of Pepe was cut out before launch, betrayed and forced into silence. Instead of reacting, he waited patiently — then returned with Pepeto, holding the final letters T and O that Pepe never had. That’s why the launch of Pepeto is being called the Day of Judgment.

Bitcoin price surges above $104K as April CPI cools to 2.3%, boosting Fed rate-cut bets and fueling bullish market sentiment.
Bitcoin Rises Above $104K as Inflation Cools
Bitcoin moved sharply higher on Monday after the release of April’s US Consumer Price Index (CPI). According to TradingEconomics data, US Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased to 320.80 points in April from 319.8 points in March of 2025.
The annual inflation rate in the US eased to 2.3% in April 2025, the lowest since February 2021, from 2.4% in March and below forecasts of 2.4%.

Notably, annual inflation, which showed a year-over-year increase of just 2.1% attracted investors attention, as it reflected lowest increase in inflation recorded since 2021. This reinforces market expectations for a Federal Reserve policy rate cut during the next FOMC meeting.
Within two hours of the data release, BTC rose 2.9 % to $104,771 at press time, after plunging as low as $101,868 on Monday.

The move was accompanied by a 35% increase in Bitcoin spot volumes on Binance’s BTC/USDT pair.
TradFi market response was also visible as shares of Coinbase Global (COIN) gained 5.3% in pre-market trading to $215, reflecting positive sentiment building up around cryptocurrency-related stocks. S&P 500 futures also advanced 1.1% to 5,300, reflecting a synchronised recovery across global risk asset markets.
$68.6 billion BTC open interest re-inforces bullish dominances
BTC’s price action was supported by a decisive shift in derivatives markets, reflecting increasing bullish conviction from traders.
Open interest in Bitcoin futures rose by 2.38% to $68.57 billion. Options open interest increased by 2.50% to $39.89 billion. On Binance, the top trader long/short ratio reached 1.595. The broader market ratio stood at 0.9724, reflecting a clear directional tilt to the upside.
Liquidations trends recorded over the last 24 hours also confirm this bullish shift in short-term momentum. Since the CPI release, $84.61 million in leveraged positions were cleared.
Short positions accounted for $28.27 million of that total, with 81% of short liquidations occurring in the first hour. The CPI data caught a large portion of the market unhedged.
On the flip side, futures trading volume declined by 13.71% to $104.67 billion. Options volume also decreased by 9.64%.
This indicates that while bullish positions have been established, short-term traders are now cautiously watching for further macro confirmation before increasing leverage exposure further.
Looking Ahead: BTC Eyes $110,000 as Rate Cut Bets Firm Up
The combination of easing inflation, rising open interest, and strong spot demand points to a continued advance for Bitcoin.
Attention will now turn to upcoming comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the release of FOMC minutes. Clarity on the central bank’s stance will be critical to validating the market’s current rate cut expectations.
For now, Bitcoin is benefiting from macro relief, rising trading volumes, and increasing capital inflows all currently align positively for BTC sustain its upward momentum towards new all time highs around $110,000.
Bitcoin Technical Price Analysis: Bulls Eye $110K as RSI Holds Firm and Volume Delta Rebounds
In today’s Bitcoin price forecast, the confluence of expanding Bollinger Bands, positive volume delta, and elevated RSI supports a bullish outlook toward the $110,000 mark.
As seen in the TradingView chart below, Bitcoin is trading at $104,560 after surging nearly 18% over the past 12-hour session, signalling revived bullish momentum following a consolidation phase.
More so, BTC price has cleanly broken above the mid-$100K range, with sustained closes above both the Bollinger Basis Band ($100,182) and the upper Envelope Band ($100,614), suggesting strong directional conviction.
Bitcoin Technical Price Analysis
The Bollinger Band width is expanding, often a precursor to volatile upside movement, as candles hover near the upper band at $108,439, reinforcing bullish continuation potential.
Momentum strength is further confirmed by the RSI holding at 72.52, marginally above the 70 threshold that typically delineates overbought conditions.
However, the RSI’s sustained elevation without divergence hints at trend strength rather than exhaustion, especially as the RSI line maintains a gradual upward slope above its signal.
Notably, the recent positive Volume Delta spike to +1.27K marks the highest buyer dominance since early May, underscoring renewed spot demand.
Downside risks remain capped so long as BTC holds above the psychological $100,000 support, which aligns with both mid-band support and historical resistance now turned support. A clean break below $100,000 with weakening volume could re-open bids toward $92,850.
Following weeks of hype in the run-up to the airdrop and the associated centralized exchange (CEX) listings, sentiment indicators for Zora tokens have dropped, suggesting this was a short-term trend.
Zora marked the advent of content coins, a controversial trend that bore the support of Base creator Jesse Powell.
Zora Token Sentiment Drops Post-Airdrop: Was It Just Hype?
According to data on CoinGecko, the ZORA token price is down by 11.5% in the last 24 hours. As of this writing, it was trading for $0.01244.
According to data on LunarCrash, engagement and mentions have dwindled since April 23, when the Zora airdrop happened.
Specifically, engagement is down by 98%, from over 12.2 million to around 142,000 as of this writing. Meanwhile, Zora mentions are down 58% since April 23. Further, creators on the Zora app have reduced by 57.6% since April 23, whereas sentiment is down by a modest 6%.
Meanwhile, data on SimilarWeb shows platform traffic on Zora.co has dropped from 500,000 to 300,000 over the past three months. Data on Dune also indicates that users on the Zora Network have decreased by 90% since the peak in early April 2024.
A look at the “Coin It” indicator reveals the same sentiment, showing a sharp decline in the frequency of Jesse Pollak’s phrase “coin this” or “coin it” on social media. After peaking at 15 mentions on April 15, this metric is down to 1 after the Zora airdrop. This suggests a decline in engagement with content coins post-airdrop.
Jesse Pollak admitted in a thread that he had received feedback about being too aggressive in communication earlier, leading to some missteps in messaging. He said he has since adjusted by slowing things down.
“…I got feedback on being too loud, and to be direct I made some mistakes in my messaging, so I’ve taken that feedback and slowed down,” Pollak stated.
Nevertheless, this decision does not mean he stopped believing in content coins and on-chain social platforms like Zora. Pollak is committed to helping builders push boundaries on Base toward realizing on-chain’s full potential.
In a recent interview with BeInCrypto, Pollak distinguished between meme coins and content coins. He emphasized the latter’s potential to empower creators without reliance on speculative communities.
Pollak also articulated Base’s vision to expand the on-chain creator ecosystem. To do this, they would foster virality and creativity while lowering the barrier for non-crypto users to engage with blockchain technology.
“We’re working to bring a billion people on-chain, and we know we can’t do that alone. I have a lot of respect for the Solana team – they have done a lot to onboard people into crypto, and I’m glad to see that. We’re looking to grow the pie, not just compete for the existing pie. And we see content coins on Base as one way to grow that pie,” Pollack told BeInCrypto.
However, the charts above imply a potential lack of sustained interest, aligning with criticisms questioning the long-term viability of such experiments on platforms like Zora.
