Will PI Rebound In The Week Ahead? ChatGPT With Pi Network Price Predictions

  vor 16 Stunden

Pi Network’s native token has proven in recent months to defy the overall market trend. For example, it actually posted some gains during November when BTC, ETH, XRP, and other larger-cap altcoins dropped by double digits. In contrast, the overall market started to recover at the start of December, with bitcoin climbing past $94,000 and ETH surging beyond $3,200 at one point. PI, though, lagged and couldn’t produce similar increases. Just the opposite, it’s actually down by 12% in the past week and now sits inches above $0.22. Consequently, we asked ChatGPT about its take on the matter and whether the following week will be more positive for PI. Pi Network’s PI Price on CoinGecko Technical Side OpenAI’s solution offered some grim perspective for the PI bulls. It noted that the overall trading volumes have declined lately, which, coupled with the asset drop from $0.28 to $0.225 as of now, shows that the trend structure has turned bearish for the short-term, but it “has not broken the macro support.” Despite the ongoing decline, Pi Network’s token remains well above the October all-time low of $0.172. It needs to rebound from the first crucial support at $0.21-$0.22, which would mean that “the broader recovery structure remains intact.” If it breaks below it, though, then it can test the October lows once again. Should it bounce, PI’s first main obstacle is situated at $0.24-$0.25, which seems like a tall task given the overall trend in the past week. In fact, ChatGPT warned that PI is likely to stay below that level as long as there’s no major update coming to shake things up a bit. Most Likely Scenario After categorizing a breakout past $0.25 as the least probable scenario, ChatGPT outlined that a bear case – meaning a drop below $0.20 – is also quite unlikely, unless the overall market structure doesn’t collapse. If the market conditions remain identical, it believes PI will trade sideways in the following week with a lower boundary of $0.22 and an upper one at $0.24. “PI’s weekly decline does not necessarily signal a trend reversal. The token remains structurally stable above $0.21, but momentum has shifted in favor of caution. The next week will be critical — holding support could set the stage for a rebound, while a breakdown risks extending the correction toward $0.20,” concluded the AI platform.

Experts Clash Over Tether’s Financial Stability After New Warnings

  vor 16 Stunden

Fresh concerns about Tether’s financial health surfaced this week after comments from BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes suggested the stablecoin issuer could face serious pressure if the value of key reserve assets were to fall. Tether, which issues the market-leading USDT stablecoin, has faced repeated scrutiny over the composition and transparency of its reserve holdings. Hayes reignited the debate by arguing that the company is increasingly exposed to volatile positions that could undermine its ability to maintain a 1:1 dollar peg. Hayes Says Decline in Bitcoin and Gold Could “Wipe Out” Equity Buffer In recent commentary, Hayes said Tether is “in the early innings of running a massive interest-rate trade.” He warned that a 30% decline in the value of the company’s Bitcoin and gold holdings could eliminate its equity cushion. Tether has significantly expanded its exposure to gold over the past several years, alongside an increase in Bitcoin holdings. Hayes argued that while Tether currently earns substantial income from interest-bearing assets, this strategy increases vulnerability if markets turn sharply lower. He concluded that in a severe downturn, USDT could become “technically insolvent.” CoinShares Research Head Pushes Back James Butterfill, head of research at digital-asset firm CoinShares, disputed Hayes’s analysis in a market update issued on Dec. 5. He said concerns about Tether’s solvency “look misplaced,” pointing to the company’s latest attestation covering the third quarter of 2025. According to that report, Tether held $181 billion in total reserves against approximately $174.45 billion in liabilities. This left a surplus of nearly $6.8 billion. Butterfill argued that the data show no immediate systemic risk, although he emphasised that stablecoin issuers should always be monitored cautiously due to their role in broader market liquidity. Ongoing Debate Over Reserve Quality Tether remains one of the cryptocurrency sector’s most profitable companies. It generated an estimated $10 billion in profit during the first three quarters of 2025 — an unusually high figure considering its relatively small workforce. However, the firm continues to face criticism regarding the composition of its reserves. S&P Global recently downgraded USDT’s ability to defend its dollar peg , citing exposure to “higher-risk” assets such as gold, loans and Bitcoin. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino dismissed the downgrade as “Tether FUD,” arguing that the company’s financial statements show its position remains strong. He pointed to the firm’s attestation as evidence of adequate liquidity and responsible asset management. Market Position Remains Dominant Despite recurring concerns, USDT continues to be the largest stablecoin in the world. The token has approximately $185.5 billion in circulation. It also controls nearly 59% of the global stablecoin market. Tether maintains a substantial allocation to U.S. Treasuries — estimated at more than $130 billion — which remains its most stable reserve component. However, the increasing share of Bitcoin and gold exposes the company to greater price swings, keeping the debate alive among analysts and regulators. The long-running dispute over Tether’s reserve practices is unlikely to subside soon, particularly as stablecoins continue to serve as a key pillar of global cryptocurrency trading.

US Seeks 12-Year Sentence For Terraform Labs Co-Founder Do Kwon

  vor 16 Stunden

Do Kwon, the troubled co-founder of Terraform Labs based in Singapore, is facing a possible 12-year prison sentence in the United States due to his role in the collapse of the TerraUSD stablecoin, which resulted in significant losses within the cryptocurrency market. Do Kwon Seeks Reduced Sentence Of Five Years Bloomberg reported that in a court filing late Thursday, US prosecutors described the Terraform Labs co-founder’s fraudulent actions as “colossal in scope.” They emphasized that his “misleading statements to customers” triggered a domino effect of crises across the crypto landscape, culminating in the downfall of notable entities such as Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX . This comes amid a regulatory environment that has grown increasingly lenient under the Trump administration. In late October, President Trump pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who had been convicted for failing to uphold proper anti-money laundering measures. In a recent court filing, Terraform Labs co-founder expressed a desire for a reduced sentence of five years. His legal team asserted that he has already “suffered substantially” for his actions, noting that he has spent nearly three years in detention conditions described as “brutal” in Montenegro. Kwon’s lawyers argued that a five-year prison term would be sufficient and that the prosecutors’ recommendation of 12 years is “far greater than necessary” for justice to be served. Potential For Sentence Transfer For Terraform Labs Co-Founder Initially, Kwon pleaded not guilty in January to a nine-count indictment that charged him with securities fraud, wire fraud, commodities fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. However, he changed his plea in August to guilty for conspiracy to defraud and wire fraud. During this change, Terraform Labs’ leader acknowledged that his actions included making “false and misleading statements” regarding the restoration of TerraUSD’s peg in 2021, admitting, “What I did was wrong.” As part of his plea agreement, Kwon has consented to forfeit $19.3 million and some properties. Prosecutors have chosen not to demand restitution for the millions of investors who collectively lost $40 billion, citing that calculating individual losses would be too complicated. Kwon faces charges in both the US and his native South Korea, where prosecutors are also pursuing a lengthy prison sentence potentially reaching up to 40 years. He was arrested in Montenegro in 2023 while using a fake passport, and following a protracted legal battle, he was extradited to the United States in January after spending nearly two years in a Balkan jail. US prosecutors have indicated they would support Kwon’s opportunity to serve the second half of his sentence in South Korea, provided he adheres to the terms of his plea deal and qualifies for a transfer program. Kwon is scheduled for sentencing by US District Judge Paul Engelmayer on December 11. When writing, Terraform Labs’ native token Luna Classic (LUNC) saw a 75% increase in response to Do Kwon’s probable sentence, trading at $0.000050 and placing it at the helm of the market’s top performers on Friday.

Strategy created a $1.44B reserve to avoid selling Bitcoin during downturns

  vor 16 Stunden

Strategy, the enterprise Bitcoin holding company led by CEO Phong Le, has said that part of the reason for creating the $1.44 billion US dollar reserve is to protect the company from being forced to sell its Bitcoin holdings during market downturns. During an interview on Friday, Le said: We’re very much are a part of the crypto ecosystem and Bitcoin ecosystem. Which is why we decided a couple of weeks ago to start raising capital and putting US dollars on our balance sheet to get rid of this FUD. Phong Lee At the beginning of the week, Strategy announced the $1.44 billion US dollar reserve, funded through a stock sale. Le explains that the reserve had been raised in just over a week and will fund dividends on preferred stock and interest payments on outstanding debt over a period of at least 12 months, with plans to extend coverage to 24 months gradually. Le noted that this dual-reserve strategy provides them the flexibility to navigate volatile market conditions without having to liquidate Bitcoin. Phong Le says new reserve neutralizes dividend FUD and strengthens market confidence The creation of the USD reserve comes amid concerns that Strategy may be unable to continue servicing its debts and dividend payment obligations if the stock price falls too far. “And it’s really this FUD,” Le said on Friday. The move represents a strategic shift from the company’s previous approach, which primarily relied on issuing debt or shares to acquire more Bitcoin. Le emphasized that they wouldn’t have an issue paying their dividends, and they weren’t likely to have to sell their Bitcoin . Still, he noted that FUD was spread that the company would fail to meet its dividend obligations, which cause d people to pile into a short Bitcoin bet . He said that the short time frame used for the $1.44 billion – 21 months’ worth of dividend obligations was intended to show people that they are still able to raise money in a Bitcoin downcycle. Last week, Le said that Strategy would only consider selling Bitcoin if its stock fell below net asset value and the company no longer had access to fresh capital. The company also launched a “BTC Credit” dashboard, which claims it currently has enough assets to service dividends for more than 70 years. As of now, Strategy holds over 650,000 BTC , purchased at an average price of $87,000 per coin. The creation of the USD reserve ensures that the company can avoid selling Bitcoin during short-term downturns, allowing it to stay aligned with its long-term crypto-focused strategy. Corporate BTC treasuries take a bigger role as miner pressures and volatility rise The timing of the reserve also matches with mounting pressure on Bitcoin miners, whose production costs have risen following recent halvings. As miners come under increasing pressure with tighter margins and higher break-even prices, analysts say corporate holders such as Strategy are increasingly contributing to the stability of the markets. Strategy’s moves, along with its enormous BTC treasury, pretty much make it one of the market’s biggest long-term claimants. As miners cut supply and short-term volatility gathers momentum, institutional balance sheets—rather than mining output—are also increasingly determining investor confidence. A group of market watchers also argues that Strategy’s reserve represents a maturing phase for Bitcoin as a corporate asset, signalling the movement away from speculative accumulation towards structured financial management. The miners’ and overall production costs of Bitcoin are often discussed on a much smaller scale than those of other cryptocurrencies; however, Strategy’s balance sheet strength and proactive risk management now play a significant role in market confidence, according to industry analysts. The reserve suggests that even during adverse cycles of the crypto market, corporate holders can minimize liquidity risk. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.
