Pump.fun Pushes Back Against Lookonchain Claims…

The post Pump.fun Pushes Back Against Lookonchain Claims… appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. A new on-chain report from Lookonchain has reignited debate around Pump.fun’s treasury activity. But the team behind the memecoin launchpad is openly rejecting the claims, calling the circulating numbers “misinformation” and insisting the large transfers reflect internal treasury management, not cash-outs. Lookonchain’s report surfaced major USDC and SOL outflows over the last year, sparking speculation across X. Pump.fun quickly responded, denying any wrongdoing and arguing that the movements stem from reorganizing treasury funds raised during the PUMP ICO. The conflicting narratives are now driving one of the platform’s biggest transparency tests to date. Lookonchain Reports Over $1B in Combined USDC + SOL Movements Lookonchain’s thread presents a detailed breakdown of on-chain activity involving Pump.fun wallets. The core claims: 436.5M USDC sent to Kraken since October 15 Between October 15 and today, Lookonchain tracked 436.5M USDC flowing from Pump.fun-linked wallets into Kraken. The on-chain flow also showed:  537.6M USDC leaving Kraken and moving into Circle through wallet DTQK7G  A nearly matching inflow/outflow pattern that raised questions around whether Pump.fun was off-ramping proceeds Lookonchain framed the activity as part of a broader pattern of exchange deposits and potential cash-outs.

iOSG: The App Cycle is Coming, and Asian Developers Are Entering a Golden Age

iOSG: The App Cycle is Coming, and Asian Developers Are Entering a Golden Age

Author: Jiawei, IOSG In the mid-to-late 1990s, internet investment focused primarily on infrastructure. The capital markets at the time were almost entirely betting on fiber optic networks, ISPs, CDNs, and server and router manufacturers. Cisco's stock price soared, reaching a market capitalization of over $500 billion by 2000, making it one of the world's most valuable companies; fiber optic equipment manufacturers such as Nortel and Lucent also became highly sought after, attracting tens of billions of dollars in funding. In this frenzy, the United States added millions of kilometers of fiber optic cable between 1996 and 2001, far exceeding the actual demand at the time. As a result, a severe overcapacity emerged around 2000—transcontinental bandwidth prices plummeted by more than 90% in just a few years, and the marginal cost of connecting to the Internet approached zero. While this infrastructure boom allowed later-born companies like Google and Facebook to take root and flourish on the cheap, ubiquitous internet, it also brought growing pains for the then-frenzied investors: the infrastructure valuation bubble burst rapidly, and the market value of star companies like Cisco shrank by more than 70% in a few years. Doesn't it sound a lot like Crypto from the past two years? Is the era of infrastructure coming to a temporary end? Block space has gone from scarce to abundant. The expansion of the block space and the exploration of the "impossible three" of blockchain largely dominated the early development of the crypto industry for several years, and therefore it is appropriate to discuss it as a landmark element. ▲Source: EtherScan In its early stages, public blockchains had extremely limited throughput, making block space a scarce resource. Taking Ethereum as an example, during the DeFi Summer, with various on-chain activities overlapping, the cost of a single DEX interaction often ranged from $20 to $50, reaching hundreds of dollars during periods of extreme congestion. With the advent of NFTs, the market's demand and calls for scaling reached their peak. Ethereum's composability is a major advantage, but it also increases the complexity of individual calls and gas consumption, with high-value transactions prioritizing limited block capacity. As investors, we often discuss L1's renewal fees and burning mechanism, using this as an anchor for L1 valuation. During this period, the market gave infrastructure a very high price, and the so-called "fat protocol, thin application" argument—that infrastructure can capture a large portion of value—was accepted, triggering a construction boom, or even a bubble, of scaling solutions. ▲Source: L2Beats In conclusion, key Ethereum upgrades (such as EIP-4844) migrated L2 data availability from expensive calldata to lower-cost blobs, significantly reducing the unit cost of L2. Transaction fees for mainstream L2 blockchains have generally decreased by several US dollars. The introduction of modularity and Rollup-as-a-Service solutions has also significantly reduced the marginal cost of block space. Various Alt-L1 blockchains supporting different virtual machines have also emerged. As a result, block space has transformed from a single, scarce asset into a highly fungible commodity. The chart above shows the evolution of various L2 on-chain costs over the past few years. It can be seen that in 2023 and early 2024, calldata accounted for the majority of costs, with daily costs even approaching $4 million. Then, in mid-2024, the introduction of EIP-4844 allowed Blobs to gradually replace calldata as the dominant cost, significantly reducing overall on-chain costs. After 2025, overall costs have tended to be at a lower level. In this way, more and more applications can place their core logic directly on the blockchain, instead of adopting a complex architecture that processes off-chain data and then uploads it to the blockchain. From this point on, we see value capture begin to migrate from the underlying infrastructure to the application and distribution layer, which can directly handle traffic, improve conversion rates, and form a closed loop of current flow. Evolution of income Following on from the last paragraph of the previous chapter, we can intuitively verify this viewpoint at the revenue level. During a cycle dominated by infrastructure narratives, the market's valuation of L1/L2 protocols is primarily based on expectations of their technological capabilities, ecosystem potential, and network effects—the so-called "protocol premium." Token value capture models are often indirect (e.g., through network staking, governance rights, and vague expectations of renewal fees). Application value capture is more direct: verifiable on-chain revenue is generated through renewal fees, subscription fees, and service fees. This revenue can be directly used for token buybacks and burns, dividends, or reinvested in growth, forming a tight feedback loop. The application's revenue streams become more robust—coming more from actual service fee revenue than from token incentives or market narratives. ▲Source: Dune@reallario The chart above roughly compares the revenue of protocols (red) and applications (green) from 2020 to the present. We can see that the value captured by applications is gradually increasing, reaching approximately 80% of the total this year. The table below lists the 30-day protocol revenue rankings compiled by TokenTerminal, with L1/L2 accounting for only 20% of the 20 projects. Stablecoins, DeFi, wallets, and trading instruments are particularly prominent. ▲Source: ASXN Furthermore, due to the market reaction to buybacks, the correlation between the application token's price performance and its earnings data is gradually increasing. Hyperliquid's daily buybacks of approximately $4 million have provided significant support for the token price. Buybacks are considered a key factor driving the price rebound. This indicates that the market is beginning to directly link protocol gains and buyback activity to token value, rather than relying solely on sentiment or narrative. And I expect this trend to continue to strengthen. II. Embracing the New Cycle with Applications as the Main Theme The Golden Age of Asian Developers ▲Source: Electric Capital ▲Source: Electric Capital According to Electric Capital's 2024 Developer Report, blockchain developers in Asia accounted for 32% of the total, surpassing North America to become the world's largest developer hub. Over the past decade, global products such as TikTok, Temu, and DeepSeek have demonstrated the outstanding capabilities of Chinese teams in engineering, product development, growth, and operations. Asian teams, especially Chinese teams, possess a strong iterative pace, can quickly validate needs, and achieve overseas expansion through localization and growth strategies. Crypto perfectly aligns with these characteristics: it requires rapid iteration and adjustments to adapt to market trends; and it needs to simultaneously serve global users, cross-language communities, and multi-market regulations. Therefore, Asian developers, especially Chinese teams, have a structural advantage in the Crypto application lifecycle: they possess both strong engineering capabilities and a keen sensitivity to market speculation cycles, along with exceptional execution ability. Against this backdrop, Asian developers have a natural advantage, enabling them to deliver globally competitive crypto applications more quickly. Projects like Rabby Wallet, gmgn.ai, and Pendle, which we've seen in this cycle, represent Asian teams on the global stage. We anticipate seeing this shift soon: a new market trend moving away from a US-dominated narrative towards a model where Asian products are first launched, then expanded into European and American markets from there. Asian teams and markets will have more say in the application cycle. Primary market investment under the application cycle Here are some perspectives on primary market investing: Trading, asset issuance, and financial applications still offer the best product-to-market (PMF) ratios, and are practically the only products capable of weathering a bear market. These correspond to products like Hyperliquid (perp), Pump.fun (launchpad), and Ethena, respectively. The latter packages capital rate arbitrage into a product that can be understood and used by a wider range of users. If there is significant uncertainty in investing in a specific sector, consider investing in the sector's beta, and think about which projects will benefit from the sector's development. A typical example is prediction markets—there are approximately 97 publicly available prediction market projects, with Polymarket and Kalshi being the more obvious winners. In this case, the probability of betting on a mid-to-long-term project to overtake the leader is very low. However, investing in tool-based prediction market projects, such as aggregators and chip analysis tools, offers greater certainty and allows you to benefit from the sector's growth, transforming a difficult multiple-choice question into a single-choice one. Once the product is developed, the next key step is to truly bring these applications to the masses. Besides common entry points like Social Login provided by Privy, I believe that a unified trading front-end and mobile platform are also crucial. Throughout the application lifecycle, whether it's perp or prediction markets, mobile will be the most natural user interface. Whether it's the user's first deposit or frequent daily operations, the experience will be much smoother on mobile. The value of an aggregation front-end lies in traffic distribution. Distribution channels directly determine user conversion efficiency and project cash flow. Wallets are also an important part of this logic. The author believes that wallets are no longer simply asset management tools, but rather have a role similar to Web2 browsers. Wallets directly capture order flows, distributing them to block builders and searchers, thereby monetizing traffic. Simultaneously, wallets also act as distribution channels, connecting to third-party services such as staking through built-in cross-chain bridges and DEXs, becoming a direct entry point for users to access other applications. In this sense, wallets control order flows and traffic distribution, serving as the primary entry point for user relationships. Regarding the infrastructure throughout the entire cycle, I believe that some public chains created out of thin air have lost their meaning; however, the infrastructure that provides basic services around applications can still capture value. Several specific examples are listed below: Provides infrastructure for customized multi-chain deployment and application chain building for applications, such as VOID; Companies that provide user onboarding services (covering login, wallet, deposits and withdrawals, cash withdrawals, etc.), such as Privy and Fun.xyz; this can also cover wallets and payment layers (fiat-on/off ramps, SDKs, MPC hosting, etc.). Cross-chain bridges: As the multi-chain world becomes a reality, the surge in application traffic will urgently require secure and compliant cross-chain bridges.

A crypto exchange is a digital platform where you can trade digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others, as explained in a detailed guide on how a cryptocurrency exchange works. These platforms simplify the process of accessing cryptocurrencies, making it easier for you to participate in the digital economy. Exchanges act as a marketplace, connecting buyers and sellers while providing tools to facilitate transactions. They also offer features like price tracking, trading pairs, and secure storage options. When choosing an exchange, consider factors like fees, security, and the range of cryptocurrencies available to ensure it meets your needs. These exchanges act as a bridge, connecting buyers and sellers while providing tools to facilitate transactions. Types of Crypto Exchanges When diving into the world of cryptocurrency, you’ll encounter several types of exchanges. Each serves a unique purpose, and understanding their differences can help you choose the one that fits your needs. Centralized Exchanges (CEXs) When using a centralized exchange, you’re engaging with a platform managed by a company that facilitates cryptocurrency trading. These exchanges are known for their user-friendly interfaces, making them a great choice if you’re new to crypto. They often provide additional features like staking, lending, and customer support to enhance your trading experience. CEXs require identity verification to comply with regulations, which adds a layer of security and trust. They also offer protection measures like crime insurance and custodial services for your funds. However, since these platforms act as intermediaries, you’ll need to trust them to manage your assets securely. Decentralized Exchanges (DEXs) If you prefer more control and privacy, decentralized exchanges might be for you. These platforms operate on blockchain technology, allowing you to trade directly with others without intermediaries. Transactions are automated through smart contracts, but you’ll need to manage your own wallet and private keys. Hybrid Exchanges Combine features of centralized and decentralized exchanges, offering both user-friendly interfaces and greater control over your assets. They let you trade using a familiar, simple platform while maintaining custody of your funds during specific operations. Hybrid exchanges aim to provide faster transactions, better security, and less dependence on third-party intermediaries. This makes them a good choice for traders who want the convenience of CEXs but also value the independence offered by DEXs. Other Variations During your interaction with the best bitcoin exchanges, you’ll come across additional variations that cater to specific needs and preferences: Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Platforms: Allow you to trade directly with other users, often with customizable payment methods and no intermediaries. Instant Swap Services: Enable quick exchanges between cryptocurrencies without the need for an account or extensive verification. Futures and Derivatives Platforms: Focus on advanced trading options like futures contracts and leveraged trading for experienced users. Crypto-to-Crypto Only Exchanges: Specialize in trading between cryptocurrencies without fiat currency support. Should You Use a Broker or a Crypto Exchange? Deciding between a broker and a crypto exchange depends on your goals and how hands-on you want to be with your cryptocurrency investments. Use a Broker if: You prefer simplicity and convenience. Brokers often offer a straightforward way to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, bundling the process into a single transaction. They’re ideal if you’re new to crypto or want to invest without diving into the technical details. However, brokers may charge higher fees and offer fewer cryptocurrency options compared to exchanges. Use a Crypto Exchange if: You want more control and flexibility. Exchanges provide access to a wide range of cryptocurrencies, advanced trading tools, and lower fees. They’re a better fit if you’re comfortable managing your own trades and exploring features like staking or margin trading. Keep in mind, exchanges may require more effort to navigate and secure your assets. Crypto Exchanges Here’s what you can typically expect from using a crypto exchange; Offer a wide selection of cryptocurrencies for trading, including altcoins and emerging tokens. Provide advanced tools like staking, margin trading, and automated trading bots. Typically have lower fees compared to brokers, especially for high-volume traders. Allow you to directly own and manage your cryptocurrencies. Require you to handle your own wallet security and private keys. Traditional Brokers Below are the key characteristics of traditional brokers when it comes to crypto investing; Simplify the process of buying and selling cryptocurrencies, making them beginner-friendly. Often bundle crypto trading with other investment options like stocks and ETFs. Provide a more regulated and secure environment, with added consumer protections. May not offer direct ownership of cryptocurrencies, limiting wallet transfers. Charge higher fees and offer fewer cryptocurrency options compared to exchanges. How to Choose the Best Crypto Exchange Finding the best crypto exchange starts with identifying what matters most to you. If you are new to cryptocurrency, look for platforms that are easy to navigate, offer strong customer support, and provide educational tools. The best place to buy crypto for first-timers often includes exchanges like Coinbase or Gemini, which are known for their simplicity and security. For experienced traders, the best crypto trading platform might include advanced features like margin trading, staking, and access to a wide range of altcoins. Security should be a top priority when choosing the best crypto app. The most trusted crypto exchanges offer robust measures like two-factor authentication, cold storage for funds, and insurance against cyber threats. Additionally, consider the fees associated with trading, deposits, and withdrawals, and check out the best zero fee crypto exchanges to find platforms that maximize your profits. Platforms like Binance and Crypto.com are often regarded as the best bitcoin exchanges due to their competitive fees and extensive features, making them ideal for both beginners and seasoned traders. Your trading style also plays a role in selecting the right platform. If you prefer trading on the go, the best app for crypto trading should provide a seamless mobile experience with all the tools you need. For those who value transparency and trust, focus on platforms with a strong reputation and regulatory compliance.  How to Buy Cryptocurrency (Step-by-Step) Choose a Trusted Platform Start by selecting the best crypto exchange that suits your needs. Look for platforms with a strong reputation, user-friendly interfaces, and robust security measures. If you’re a beginner, consider exchanges like Coinbase or Kraken, which are known for their simplicity and reliability. Create and Verify Your Account Sign up for an account on your chosen platform. Most exchanges will require you to verify your identity by submitting documents like a government-issued ID. This step ensures compliance with regulations and enhances the security of your account. Deposit Funds Add money to your account using a bank transfer, credit card, or other supported payment methods. Be mindful of deposit fees, as they can vary between platforms. Some exchanges also allow you to deposit cryptocurrency directly if you already own some. Select the Cryptocurrency You Want to Buy Browse the available cryptocurrencies on the platform and choose the one you want to purchase. Whether it’s Bitcoin, Ethereum, or another altcoin, ensure you understand the asset before buying. Place Your Order Decide how much you want to invest and place your order. Most exchanges offer options like market orders (buying at the current price) or limit orders (buying at a specific price). Review the transaction details before confirming. Secure Your Investment Once your purchase is complete, transfer your cryptocurrency to a secure wallet. While exchanges offer built-in wallets, using a private wallet gives you more control and reduces the risk of hacks. Risks of Using a Crypto Exchange One of the primary risks of using a crypto exchange is security vulnerabilities. Exchanges are frequent targets for hackers, and breaches can result in the loss of funds. Even with advanced security measures like two-factor authentication and cold storage, no platform is entirely immune to cyberattacks. Additionally, if you leave your assets on the exchange instead of transferring them to a private wallet, you risk losing access if the platform experiences technical issues or shuts down. Another significant risk is regulatory uncertainty. Cryptocurrency regulations vary by country and can change rapidly, potentially affecting the operation of exchanges. Some platforms may face restrictions or even bans in certain regions, leaving users unable to access their accounts or funds. It’s crucial to choose a trusted exchange with a strong compliance record and to stay informed about the legal landscape in your area. Conclusion Choosing the best crypto exchange depends on your individual needs, whether you’re a beginner looking for simplicity or an experienced trader seeking advanced tools. The best crypto exchange for beginners should prioritize user-friendly interfaces, strong security, and reliable customer support, while seasoned traders may value features like low fees, diverse cryptocurrency options, and advanced trading capabilities. By carefully evaluating factors like security, fees, and platform reputation, you can find an exchange that aligns with your goals and provides a secure and efficient way to engage with the cryptocurrency market.

Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details

Bitmine Scoops Up Another 28,625 Ethereum ($82.1M) as Market Bleeds – Details

Ethereum is fighting to hold the $2,800 level after a brutal correction that has erased more than 45% of its value since late August. The sharp decline has flipped market sentiment decisively bearish, with many traders fearing that ETH has entered a prolonged downtrend. Bulls are struggling to establish a reliable support level, and the lack of strong buy-side reaction so far has only intensified uncertainty. Liquidity continues to thin out across major exchanges, reinforcing the narrative that the market is still deep in a risk-off phase. Related Reading: Anti-CZ Whale Loses Big: $61M in Profit Wiped Out As Ethereum and XRP Longs Collapse Yet, despite the heavy selling pressure and underwhelming price performance, not all major players are stepping back. In fact, some are doubling down. Fresh on-chain data from Lookonchain reveals that Tom Lee’s Bitmine — a well-known crypto-focused investment operation—continues to buy ETH aggressively at current prices. Bitmine has been one of the few entities consistently adding to its position during the downturn, signaling strong conviction that Ethereum remains undervalued in the long term. This divergence between retail fear and whale accumulation is becoming increasingly notable. As ETH hovers around a critical psychological level, the coming days may determine whether this whale’s confidence translates into broader market stabilization or remains an isolated bet against the prevailing trend. Bitmine’s Aggressive Accumulation Signals Confidence According to Lookonchain, Tom Lee’s Bitmine has continued its aggressive accumulation, purchasing another 28,625 ETH worth $82.11 million. This move reinforces the growing narrative that some of the market’s most sophisticated players are positioning for a rebound despite the prevailing fear and relentless selling pressure. Large-scale buying during deep corrections has historically aligned with early reversal zones, and Bitmine’s conviction adds weight to the idea that Ethereum may be approaching a significant turning point. Still, a recovery is far from guaranteed. ETH remains trapped near the $2,800 zone, a level that has acted as a fragile line of defense during this downturn. For momentum to shift, Ethereum must not only hold this area but also reclaim the $3,000 mark, which has now flipped into an important resistance zone. A decisive move above this level would signal that buyers are finally stepping back in with strength, potentially setting the stage for a broader trend reversal. Until then, the situation remains delicate. Bitmine’s accumulation offers a bullish signal, but without confirmation from price structure, Ethereum continues to walk a tightrope. A failure to hold current levels could invite another wave of capitulation, but stability here may spark the rebound whales seem to be anticipating. Related Reading: STH Panic Emerges as Bitcoin Crashes To $81K: Realized P/L Turns Negative For The First Time This Cycle Testing a Major Weekly Support Zone Ethereum’s weekly chart shows the asset sitting on a critical support zone after a steep decline from the $4,800 region. Price has now pulled back to around $2,800, a level that aligns closely with the 200-week moving average—a historically important area where ETH has often found long-term support. This zone previously acted as a launchpad during major market reversals in both 2022 and mid-2023, making its defense crucial for maintaining broader structural strength. The recent breakdown below the 50- and 100-week moving averages highlights the intensity of the current selloff. Momentum clearly shifted in favor of bears over the past weeks, with several large red candles confirming aggressive distribution. However, ETH’s current stabilization attempt above the 200-week MA signals that buyers are finally stepping in, preventing a deeper slide toward $2,400. Related Reading: Bitcoin OG Owen Gunden Deposits Final 2,499 BTC ($228M) to Kraken – Details If Ethereum can hold above this support area and reclaim the psychological $3,000 level, a recovery structure could begin to form.

Monad Mainnet Officially Launches, Ushering in a New Era of High-Performance Blockchain Infrastructure

The much-anticipated Monad Mainnet is now live, one of the biggest blockchain rollouts of the year, and the precursor of a highly scalable, parallelized execution environment that would deliver up to 10,000 transactions per second. The message was distributed via the primary social media of the project, and Monad invited the users to visit the recently established ecosystem through the application app.monad.xyz. Monad Mainnet is now live!Check it out here: https://t.co/emewXRKtNEhttps://t.co/emewXRKtNE— Monad (mainnet arc) (@monad) November 24, 2025 Monad, an up-and-coming Layer 1 blockchain, with parallel execution features and Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM)-compatible infrastructure, has gained massive hype in Web3 because of its ability to achieve higher throughput, quicker transaction finality and developer-friendly architecture.  Governance Takes Shape with the Mon-Genesis Eco Forum After the mainnet announcement, the community was given another significant update with the launch of the Mon-Genesis Eco Forum v0.1, a new governance and community coordination center. The forum promotes early members to get involved in governance proposals, ecosystem project and long-term development planning of Monad. The announcement states that those who contribute early can be in a position to get augmented MON allocations in Q4 and this will serve as an incentive to participate in governance in these formative months.  This layer of the governance indicates that Monad cares about decentralization and making decisions collectively as it starts to become global blockchain platform. Staking MON Goes Live Across Validator Networks The MON token staking is now on and the mainnet is active in various validator portal allowing users to stake their tokens and earn the rewards by ensuring the security of the network. Delegation is offered on the gmonads.com dashboard and in the BlockVision staking interface, with delegators having a variety of choices to allocate stake to a worldwide network of validators. The staking model makes MON holders stakeholders in the chain performance and security. With the expansion of the number of validators and delegation, the decentralized security model of Monad is set to become stronger and more varied, with the capacity to supply the increased throughput that the chain will be designed to provide Curated Vaults Expand DeFi Access for MON and AUSD The other significant item in the ecosystem rollout is the launch of curated DeFi vaults aimed at simplifying the generation of yields to the users.  The MON Vault, managed by Steakhouse, provides an actively maintained strategy to MON holders, and the statistics indicate that a total of 21.6K dollars of value is locked. MVT is issued to participants as a token of deposit, which allows the flow of liquidity and easy accounting. Simultaneously, the Agora EarnAUSD vault run by Upshift has already achieved a total value locked of 5 million dollars. The vault offers a token of liquid yield, EarnAUSD, that allows users to earn yield on AUSD and retain the flexibility to access their assets. These vaults are some of the first DeFi products on Monad and they are the start of a fast-growing financial ecosystem. DeFi at the Speed of Monad Such categories as spot trading, perpetual derivatives, launchpads, lending and borrowing protocols are now part of the Monad eco system. Having numerous applications within each category, DeFi Teams have started implementing applications that are suited to the parallel execution model of Monad.  The early users will be able to visit six spot trading platforms, two perp trading venues, five launchpad and four lending/borrowing protocols.
