Bitcoin faced significant resistance at the $113,000 level during a volatile 24-hour trading session, with Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s cautious economic commentary triggering a market-wide pullback.

Cryptocurrency markets are flashing compelling signals that a new altseason may be imminent, with Bitcoin dominance forming a rare “death cross” pattern that historically precedes massive altcoin rallies. Analyst Ito Shimotsuma identified this technical formation that has only occurred once per market cycle in 2016 and 2021, both instances resulting in parabolic gains for alternative cryptocurrencies. With Bitcoin’s market share dropping 12% from its June high and several major altcoins already hitting record highs, market indicators suggest we could be on the verge of the next major altcoin run.

The GameFi sector faces significant challenges with declining activity, poor retention, and unsustainable tokenomics, as evidenced by DappRadar’s Q2 2025 data showing a 17% quarterly drop in gaming-specific unique active wallets. However, Tapzi ($TAPZI) presents a compelling alternative by focusing on skill-based games like chess, checkers, and rock-paper-scissors where players stake tokens and winners take the pot without gas fees or bot interference. The platform offers gasless matches, anti-bot measures, and plans for developer SDKs to expand its arcade. With a 5B token supply and successful presale priced at $0.0035, Tapzi aligns with the industry’s shift toward utility-led blockchain layers rather than token-first design, positioning itself as a quality project in a discerning market that values gameplay experience over hype.

Block Inc., the fintech company founded by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, is joining the S&P 500, following Coinbase’s addition earlier this year. The inclusion signals the growing acceptance of crypto-aligned firms in traditional finance. Block, which allocates 10% of its Bitcoin-related profits to purchasing more BTC, holds over 8,500 BTC on its balance sheet. Industry experts see this as part of a broader trend where regulatory developments, such as the GENIUS Act, are accelerating crypto’s integration into mainstream markets. Block’s strategy includes Bitcoin services via Cash App, open-source development funding, and decentralized infrastructure projects. Analysts view its S&P 500 listing as a milestone for crypto’s legitimacy in TradFi.

Blockchain is a decentralized, distributed ledger technology that ensures secure and immutable transactions. Initially powering Bitcoin, it now supports various cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash. Key components include nodes, miners/validators, and consensus protocols such as Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS). Blockchain’s features include decentralization, distribution, immutability, and pseudonymity, making it highly secure and fault-tolerant. Cryptographic hash functions and consensus mechanisms further enhance its resilience against attacks like the 51% attack. Unlike traditional databases, blockchain offers unparalleled security, transparency, and privacy, making it a cornerstone of modern digital finance.
