Metaplanet Goes All-In on Bitcoin—With Eric Trump Watching
Japanese Bitcoin treasury firm Metaplanet is making headlines after securing a massive ¥130 billion ($884 million) capital raise to buy more Bitcoin. This move cements Metaplanet as one of the top Bitcoin-holding companies globally—now ranked 7th largest public BTC treasury.
What’s even more interesting? Eric Trump is advising the company and attended the shareholder event in Tokyo, which reportedly had the vibe of a crypto festival—costumes, food trucks, and even a K-pop performance. If that doesn’t scream “bullish energy,” what does?

Ethereum’s Rollercoaster: ATH, Pullback, and Crazy Predictions
Ethereum recently smashed through $5,000 before cooling off. Despite the dip, optimism is sky-high. Joseph Lubin, Ethereum co-founder, went on record saying ETH could “100× from here.” If he’s right, we’re talking about ETH prices in the six figures. Wild? Maybe. Impossible? Not in crypto.

If history is any guide, September dips often set up explosive year-end moves. Will this time be different?
